Chapter 55: The Imp
Listening to the meaning of the second master, the old house where we stayed still lives with an evil ghost more than 60 years ago.
I was thinking this in my heart, so I pointed to the ground: "No wonder there was a bloodstain on the ground when I first came, and the corpse of the old boss should have been found on that bloodstain, right?" ”
He seemed to be deliberately reminding everyone that there had been deaths in this room.
I don't know what kind of heart the second master and the old man have, although I know that this old house is a murderous house, I can't talk about being scared in my heart, but I am still a little uncomfortable.
Jin Xiangqian didn't take the two of them seriously at all, and was still saying to Dawei: "There is also a local saying that beautiful women must not enter the forest farm, saying that once they come in, they will never be able to get out, and they don't know if it's true or not." ”
The second master pursed his lips: "This Liu Shuangxiang is not safe when he dies." ”
At this time, the old man took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said to everyone: "It's time to eat, everyone hurry up and eat, and strive to fall asleep before the time of child." ”
After that, everyone fell silent, everyone just ate their heads, and the sound of chewing was endless.
Seeing that there was still a quarter of an hour until eleven o'clock, we finished eating, Jin Xiangqian went to the back room with a few pots with only the soup base left, I was going to help him clean up together, but Jin Xiangqian asked me to go to sleep first, he said that there was no time to brush the pot tonight, and he would leave it for tomorrow.
Dawei and I took out five sleeping bags from our backpacks, half a meter between each two sleeping bags, lined up on the ground, and then Jin Xiangqian came out of the back room and also came to help, only the second master and the old man smoked sullenly in the distance.
After we laid out the sleeping bags, the second master walked to the table and blew out the eight oil lamps.
I noticed when he blew out the lamp, and there were eight oil lamps on the table.
After that, the second master let me sleep in the closest place to the table, he slept next to me, so old that he was the farthest away from us, and Jin Xiangqian and Dawei were sandwiched in the middle.
I woke up too early in the morning, couldn't open my eyes as soon as I lay down, and fell asleep before I knew it.
Growing up, I barely dreamed when I slept, and I slept so deeply that I wouldn't wake up unless there was a big movement nearby.
But tonight I don't know what's going on, I fell asleep very quickly, but I didn't sleep well, I always felt confused, as if I was asleep, and I didn't seem to be asleep, obviously with my eyes closed, but occasionally my mind became very awake.
At first, I thought it was because the room was too large and I wasn't sure, so I couldn't sleep deeply. But in the middle of the night, I felt as if something was tearing at my temples, making my head swell, and at the same time I felt that it was very cold, and even with my sleeping bag tightened, the chill still went straight to me.
Then I heard a muffled sound next to me, as if someone was approaching me.
This time, I couldn't sleep anymore, and when I opened my eyes immediately, I saw that the second master was coming to me lightly.
I tried to call him: "Second master? ”
Before going to bed, the second master obviously blew out all the oil lamps on the table, but now there is light in the room, but the light coming from above my head is very dim, if I hadn't seen the outline and movements of the second master, I might not have been able to realize its existence.
The second master made a silent gesture to me, and then stuck to the window and looked outside.
I got up slowly, and looked out of the window, which was no different from what it had been two hours before, still pitch black, except for darkness, and I could only see the nearest trees by the fire.
I was about to silently practice the Divine Concentration Technique to perceive the Qi field outside the window, but the second master waved his hand at me as if he knew what I was going to do, signaling me not to move.
When he waved at me, his eyes were fixed on the window.
I looked outside with him for a while, and when I saw that there was nothing special, I pouted and cast another glance at the small wooden table beside me.
Before falling asleep, there were eight lamps on the table, but now there are only seven left, and they are arranged in the shape of a spoon according to the star position of the Big Dipper.
Every lamp was lit, but the light was very weak, as long as the second master and I moved a little bigger, we could extinguish them.
I patted the second master lightly twice, and then pointed to the oil lamp on the table.
The second master was also stunned for a moment when he saw the seven lights, but then he turned his face to the window again.
For a moment, I felt a chill down my spine, as if a cold hand had touched my back.
I immediately grabbed a handful on my back with my hand, but I didn't catch anything, and then turned to look behind me.
Now the location I am pointing to should be near the door frame of the inner room, except for the small area where the second master and I are staying, there is still a little light, the room is almost completely dark, but near the door frame, there is a faint white, as if something is faintly glowing.
I patted the second master's arm again, but the second master gently blocked my hand and signaled me not to disturb him.
His attention was all out the window, and I was staring at the white in the distance, and if I remember correctly, the last time I looked in that direction, I saw nothing but a dark shadow.
After a while, something flickered quickly in the white, and then, the whiteness disappeared, and the darkness completely enveloped the area.
I let the image just go over and over in my head twice, and I vaguely felt that what had just flashed in front of my eyes seemed to be a person, and I seemed to see a miserable white eye.
Thinking of this, I quickly approached the second master, lowered my voice and said, "I saw an eye just now. ”
The second master turned around and glanced at the position where Fu Bai had just appeared, and asked quietly, "Is the psychic jade on you?" ”
I nodded.
Second Master: "The little ghost is here." ”
With that, he turned his gaze out the window again.
I understood what the second master meant, and immediately took out the Tongling Jade from his jacket pocket and put it around his neck.
Before, the third master told me that I had to touch the paste on my forehead first, and then stick the Tongling jade on my head to make this piece of jade work. Actually, I don't have to be so troublesome at all, as long as the psychic jade is attached to my skin, I can use it to see things that I can't normally see. And the paste he gave me that day was actually the leftover of the Spring Festival couplets for the New Year, but he mixed black ink in it, which looked more special.
The psychic jade was attached to my chest, and I first felt a chill on my chest, and then, the scene outside the window changed slightly.
Without the use of the Mind Fixation Technique, I could not see the flow of the Qi field, but I could still feel a large amount of Yin Qi scurrying back and forth outside the window.
Soon, the wind began to blow in the woods, and the trees outside the house began to tremble, and the "clatter" of leaves could be heard in mid-air, and occasionally the fallen leaves that had been swept up by the wind could be seen circling and flying in front of the window.
"When this gust of wind passes, the imp should come out." The second master whispered to me.
I squinted my eyes and stared carefully out the window, the wind blew for a long time, but it did not stop, during which I also glanced towards the old man, he was too far away from me, and when I looked at him, I could only see that it was pitch black.
It's strange to say, it is said that the yin qi outside is so heavy, even if he sleeps deeply, he should have felt it a long time ago, but until now, there has been no movement on his side.
There are also Dawei and Jin Xiangqian, the two of them also seem to have disappeared, and when I haven't opened my eyes, I can occasionally hear the snoring of the two of them, but now I can't hear any sound at all, and the room is so quiet that people are panicking.
I don't know how long it took, the yin qi outside the window finally stopped flowing, I could feel that the yin qi seemed to sink suddenly, slowly falling, and slowly attached to the ground, and the nearby trees seemed to be frozen in an instant, the body of the tree was still, and the "whoosh" sound of the leaves swaying also stopped abruptly.
After that, I saw streams of black liquid slowly gushing out of the ground, and they looked like slimy asphalt, appearing in large patches on the ground, as if there was a force that slowly pulled them out of the ground and kneaded them into shape.
I saw that the large "asphalt" was like plasticine that had been kneaded by someone, constantly changing its shape, and slowly, they grew heads and limbs, and became small people with short legs and long arms. These little things, which were only half the height of my calf, were like weeds stirred by the wind, and they staggered towards the house as they trembled violently.
There was no light outside the window, and they were all black, but with the blessing of the Tongling Jade, I could see them clearly.
I know that these little things with extremely uncoordinated limbs are the little ghosts in the mouth of old people, and they are all made of yin qi and have no substance.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the house, I whispered to the second master: "Second master, what should I do now, do you want to make a move?" ”
The second master glanced at me and smiled helplessly: "Shoot? What's the matter, you still want to make a move? These things aren't like the corpses in the ice room, you can't deal with any of them. Let's take a look at it again, since it is said that they come from the underworld, they should not pose a danger to the living. ”
Speaking of this, the second master turned to look at the back room: "The real trouble is in the house." You have old rice and copper boxes in your backpack, bring them over. ”
Before, Dawei and I piled all our bags under the table, and as soon as the second master said this, I squatted down and touched the bottom of the black table, but I didn't touch anything.
I didn't give up, and went directly under the table, only to find that the luggage was really missing, and immediately shouted to the second master: "Second master, the luggage is gone!" ”
After that, there was a light behind me.
It was the second master who turned on the flashlight, and he took a picture towards the place where the old man slept, and I followed the light and saw that the sleeping bags of the old man, Dawei, and Jin Xiangqian were empty, but the people didn't know where to go.
The second master scolded sullenly: "Old immortal thing! ”
I got out from under the table and asked the second master: "What about the old man, and Dawei and Jin Xiangqian, where have they gone?" ”
"I don't know," the second master first shook his head, then turned around, and hit the beam on the table, he looked carefully at the seven oil lamps, and said sullenly: "Seven stars light the lamp, add oil and continue life, is this old boy crazy?" Now the lamp oil will dry up, and the lonely ghosts and ghosts in the vicinity will be lured over. ”
I understood most of the meaning of the second master, and couldn't help asking, "What do you want to do when you're old?" ”
"He's a madman!"
The second master responded briefly, and then turned off the flashlight, and the room fell into darkness again.
