Chapter 21: Puppets
I woke up in bed, and suddenly I saw a dark shadow by the window, this black shadow was very strange, it seemed that only the lower half of the body, I could see two vaguely crossed legs, up to the waist, the top was gone.
I wondered how I saw this strange shadow in the dark, and it was still in my bedroom, and it scared my hair so much that my hairs exploded.
I didn't dare to move on the bed, but the black shadow suddenly moved, as if it was mechanically deadlocked, and the waist began to writhe, and then, slowly, upwards to reveal my stomach and chest, and then, I could see that the hands that seemed to have been broken were writhing irregularly, and finally, they were twisted to their normal positions.
The black shadow stood up, but I saw that it had no head, and there seemed to be some black substance sprayed on its neck, in the dark, it was too blurry, but I seemed to see a beheaded figure standing in front of me, and the spurting substance was blood, and it was in this room, and seeing a strange black shadow made me tremble enough, and the sprayed substance actually made a sound of spurting blood, and my scalp was numb on the spot, and I retreated suddenly, but I was on the bed, and immediately stuck to the wall.
The headless black shadow seemed to notice that I was looking at him, and immediately twisted his irregular body again, and began to walk towards me, much like a zombie in Resident Evil, with no harmony in his limbs at all. In fact, if it's really a zombie, I'm not very scared, the key is that in this dark room, I can only see this headless black shadow, and the others can't see clearly at all, is this a person or a ghost? I don't know if it's a man or a woman? Or something else.
The biggest fear of people is not the thing itself, but the cranky thinking in the environment, the imagination is the most frightening, unfortunately, this dark environment, the black shadow that can not be seen clearly, I am scared miserably, in fact, I have experienced a lot of ghost things in the past few days, but in the morning I have lost too much essence, Yang Qi is insufficient, and the righteousness is insufficient, and some can not bear the fear brought by this dark environment and black shadows, and the mind is weakened.
Finally, I watched as the headless black shadow crawled over like a zombie, and then climbed into my bed, but the moment I got into bed, my fear turned to anger.
After the headless black shadow went to bed, I saw that his body size had shrunk from an adult's size to a mini toy, like a headless humanoid puppet, however, this humanoid puppet was red, and it looked really a little infiltrating, but I felt that I had been mischievous, so I was very angry and wanted to kick it.
At this time, the voice just now suddenly came again: "Xiaoyang, don't touch it!" ”
The voice was that of my grandfather, and I stopped my right foot suddenly, and I stopped next to the blood-red puppet, and then I retracted sharply, and then I heard a terrible and angry cry ringing in my ears, like a child's scream, and after this sound, the blood-red puppet disappeared.
And in this dark bedroom, the light bulb flickered a few times abruptly, and it lit up, and I came back to my senses and found that my back was already in a cold sweat, but I was very concerned about my grandfather, and I looked in the direction of the voice just now, but I didn't see my grandfather, and I hurriedly shouted: "Grandpa, where are you?" ”
Saying that, I got up suddenly, but found that I was still wearing clothes and shoes, I was really puzzled, but I didn't think about it, I hurriedly ran out, only to feel dizzy, I actually came to the door of the west wing, and saw the light of the oil lamp in the west wing, the door seemed to be unlocked, and there was a grandfather's voice inside: "Xiaoyang, hurry up and come in?" ”
I thought about it, or pushed open the door, and saw that in the west wing, it was actually placed by my grandfather into a dojo pattern, in the hall, there was a square offering platform, and there was a portrait of the ancestor of the three Qing Daoists on the wall. Grandpa seemed to be holding three sticks of incense in his hand, bowed to the portrait of the three Qing Dao ancestors, inserted them in the incense burner, turned around, and beckoned to me with a faint but kind smile on his face.
I suddenly had a pimple in my heart, the clothes my grandfather was wearing were the mourning clothes on the day of the burial, and the grandfather in front of me was really my grandfather's ghost, and my grandfather really came back in the night of the soul.
Although I was a little scared, I thought that I didn't even come back to see my grandfather before he died, and I suddenly felt guilty, tears suddenly flowed, and I muttered: "Grandpa, I ......"
I was so choked up that I couldn't speak, and my grandfather stretched out his hand to beckon me over, saying, "Grandpa doesn't blame you." I don't want to interfere too much in your future, so grandpa doesn't want to bother you before he dies! I just didn't expect you to come anyway? ”
I heard my grandfather say the word 'death', and finally came from the sadness, ran over, and threw myself into my grandfather's arms, I didn't expect that I was really hugging my grandfather, and I was stunned for a moment, and looked at my grandfather with tears in my eyes and said, "Grandpa, what's going on?" ”
Grandpa stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes, and said with a smile: "Grandpa returned to his soul and found that you were hooked by a little ghost in red, if you kicked that blood-red puppet just now, you will be hooked, and the consequences will be very serious!" ”
I was startled when I heard this, but I quickly said in horror: "Grandpa, you mean that I am also in a soul state now!" ”
Grandpa nodded and told me about the red-clothed imp, which was the red-clothed imp who squatted on top of the coffin during grandpa's funeral, but was scared away by me with a bone sword. At that time, I didn't look closely at the red-clothed ghost, and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be something in his hand, which seemed to be the blood-red puppet he had used to hook the soul just now.
According to Grandpa, the red-clothed imp is a relatively powerful ghost, he can't enter this mansion by himself, and he actually sent the blood-red puppet in his hand to manipulate it, and he came to hook my soul. If it weren't for Grandpa's return to his soul and calling me in time, I'm afraid that I would have been hooked by the blood-red puppet and run away now. It's scary to think about.
I said to my grandfather: "Grandpa, that little ghost in red is so grudgeful, I'm afraid that if I don't get rid of it in time, it will cause me a lot of trouble?" ”
When Grandpa heard my words, he suddenly said a little sternly: "Xiaoyang, you have to remember. People have a way, and ghosts have a way! You have interfered in the affairs of Hades, how can you say the cruel words to get rid of him? You are stained with this cause and effect, it is not the red-clothed imp who came to you! Therefore, all the cause and effect are borne by you, and if you want that little imp in red to stop harassing you, fulfill his wish, or let him be reincarnated. Xiaoyang, you have to remember. As Taoist priests, we must not only subdue demons and subdue demons, exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits, but also have a compassionate heart, not only to be merciful to people, but also to be merciful to ghosts and monsters when you are involved in ghosts in the underworld. People are divided into good and evil, and there are good and evil ghosts! ”
Although I think what Grandpa said is very reasonable, but now I am obviously entangled by the red-clothed ghost, so I said: "Grandpa, you are right, but that little ghost is obviously not good at talking?" And I can't communicate with the ghost yet. What the hell is that? ”
Grandpa glared at me: "Am I not a ghost?" In fact, ghosts exist in the world, and they have obsessions in their hearts and are unwilling to leave. As long as you know this obsession of theirs, you can help them to reincarnate, which is a great merit! However, grandpa does not advocate that you interfere too much in the ghost affairs of the underworld, although the merit is good, it will be contaminated with too much cause and effect, and destroy the balance of yin and yang! ”
I nodded, and said distressedly: "Then I'd better solve the problem of the red-clothed imp in front of me first, if it really can't be persuaded by me, I have to rely on other methods, right?" ”
Grandpa nodded and said, "That's what I'm going to tell you next?" ”
