Chapter 10: The Secret of the Box

It's a little pug, ugly and cute, wagging its tail at me.

It's just... Come wake up my dog?

"Wangcai, bite him!" Suddenly there was a shout from the girl in red in front of me, I followed the sound to look, but I saw that she was struggling to support in the insect tide, and the big red ancient robe kept shuttling in the black pressure insect tide, like a flat boat, which could be submerged at any time. The man with the octopus tentacles on her back kept chasing after the former, and I could tell that she was dodging, trying to avoid going head-to-head with the man.

"Wang! Barking! ”

As soon as the puppy heard the words of the girl in red, his humble expression disappeared instantly, and he jumped directly into my arms with a kick on his hind legs, and then took a bite at my arm!

"Holy!! It hurts!! ”

With a wail, I fell straight out of bed, my head almost hitting the corner of the table, and my back hurt. In an instant, the man in black was gone, and the insect tide that covered the sky was gone, leaving only the little pug wagging its tail not far from me, looking quite happy.

"What's wrong Xiaohuai, have a nightmare?" Dad rubbed his eyes and pushed the door and walked in, and when he saw the happy puppy on the ground, he asked a little strangely, "Where did this puppy come from?" ”

"Ahh I picked it up when I was in the toilet last night...."I casually made up a lie and sat back on the bed: "Dad, go back to bed, I had a nightmare just now, and now it's fine." ”

My dad didn't take the dog too seriously, nodded and said, "You can sleep too, don't think too much." ”

Watching him leave, I stepped forward and locked the door and went back to the bed, bending down to look under the bed—I wanted to see the box. If it had been a dream, the box wouldn't have turned into an "ice cube".

Sure enough, the box was honestly staying under the bed, and when I reached out and touched it, I didn't have the cold feeling just now.

So it was really all a dream?

"It's better for you not to move the box for a while." The sudden voice behind me startled me, and I turned to look at the girl in red who appeared at some point: "Why don't you move at all every time you appear?" Are you a human or a ghost? ”

That's right, this is the most real complaint in my heart, I saw her three times, but all three times she appeared suddenly, there was no movement at all, and now I'm really a little curious about whether she is a human or a ghost!

"It's useless to tell you about this now, anyway, you just need to remember that I won't hurt you." She glanced at me and said, "Ask if you have anything you want to ask about this box, and if I can tell you, I'll tell you." ”

As soon as I heard this, I suddenly came to my senses, if I want to talk about the box and my grandfather, then I can hold back my stomach problems!

"First of all, what is in this box?"

"Contract."

"Contract?" I was stunned, "What contract?" ”

"The contract signed with the underworld, from the day you open the box, that is, when your life is at the end." She sighed and stared at the quaint box, there seemed to be a little vicissitudes in her eyes: "When Song Renzong was still in power, there was a minister in the court named Shen Yi, who was a close confidant of Song Zhenzong, that is, Song Renzong's father. As we all know, Song Renzong is a Ming monarch, and he didn't believe in feng shui witchcraft at all in his early years, but Shen Yi is a person who admires witchcraft very much, and often does some things that people are angry with in private.

Shen Yi's ancestors were proficient in witchcraft, and had always believed in ghosts and gods, and once wrote a book called "Soul Condensation Record", which was about how to refine people's souls by secret methods. He believed that as long as he gathered the souls of a thousand people, anyone who ate the product of this refining would live forever. And Shen Yi's ancestors did not gather the souls of a thousand people, and finally died with regrets. In Shen Yi's generation, he relied on the name of Song Zhenzong and finally gathered the souls of a thousand people in nine years, and this box was the container for the soul. The resentment carried by a thousand refined resentful spirits is too deep, and the box is more or less contaminated with this resentment as a container, plus your life is too weak, so as soon as you touch it, you will be approached by those things. ”

Hearing this, I hurriedly threw the box aside, and it was all thanks to this box that I almost died today!

"And what about the end? In the end, did Shen Yi live forever? I also sat on the bed and asked, "And this box was left by my grandfather, how could he harm me?" ”

"Finally.... I don't know if he lived forever. She frowned, as if she didn't want to linger on this question any longer, and jumped to another question with a casual answer: "Didn't I tell you before, your grandfather is fake, and your grandfather's intention was not to hand over the box to you." ”

As soon as I heard this, I was stunned: "Didn't grandpa mean to hand over the box to me?" Why? ”

"Your grandfather originally meant to let your father keep this box, and then when the time comes, I will take the box away." She replied lightly: "Because the old man doesn't want you and your father to step into this industry, that is, your father's life is stronger, and he won't be affected by it when he encounters the box, to put it bluntly, those resentful spirits who want to kill you mistakenly think of you as Shen Yi, and what you are receiving now is completely unjustified." ”

Grandpa's intention was not to let me and my dad step into this business..... So who is the person I used to think of as a grandfather? And when my grandfather died, I returned to the village and saw the soul, was that the soul of a real grandfather or the soul of a fake grandfather?

It's like someone who keeps telling you that this object is round, that the world is square, and so many years later, when you think you really know the world, then suddenly a person appears, and he tells you that the person who taught you so many things is not a person at all! Is what he taught you right? Is this object round or not? Is this world square or not?

For a moment, I felt like my worldview was collapsing.

But I suddenly felt very strange, strange that if this man wanted to kill me, it is estimated that there are thousands of ways, because he has disguised himself as my closest person, but he has to go to great lengths to let me get into contact with this box, so that the box can attract the spirit to kill me..... Is it to evade the law?

Although there is some truth to this thought, why did he lay down all this twenty years ago?

There's something wrong with that.....
