At night in Chengdu, the middle of the night began to seem very lonely, the thin-colored light gauze and the twilight fog of the field flooded the world for a moment.

The rain is pouring down.

A woman dressed like a blue and white porcelain cheongsam, holding an oil-paper umbrella, couldn't see her face clearly, she could only see her swaying her delicate figure, twisting her thin willow waist, and staggering down a quiet alley.

At this time, the woman suddenly stopped, in front of her, a black mist appeared, the corner of the woman's mouth was slightly hooked, and a white hand was stretched out, and a bracelet was hung on her hand.

The woman gently shook Qianqianyu's hand, and the sound of the bell was like melodious music, and the bell rang in the wind.

The black mist gradually disappeared, and the woman stopped in place, her fair face slowly raised, but two drops of blood rolled down.

"Ahh

Chen Shiyi suddenly sat up straight from the bed, there were still drops of sweat on his pale face, Chen Shiyi couldn't help touching the beads of sweat on his forehead, and exhaled: "It turned out to be just a dream." ”

Chen Shiyi lifted the quilt and got off the bed, picked up the teapot with hot water from the table, poured out a glass of water, and drank it all in a big gulp.

After drinking it all, Chen Shiyi began to slowly tap his fingers on the tabletop, and the sound of hissing made it look a little weird and crazy in this silent night.

She wondered if she had to listen to the old Taoist priest once, even if she was a liar, but these days, she was indeed about to become a psychotic schizophrenic.

The next morning, Chen Shiyi got up early to wash, in the mirror, she had not slept well in the past few days, she began to have a faint dark circles, Chen Shiyi sighed silently, it is not easy to live alone outside, after washing, I went out, passing by a somewhat quaint alley, there is a sandalwood red door that is a little old, and the paint begins to fall off layer by layer.

Chen Shiyi hesitated for a while, but still knocked on the door, knocked a few times, no one responded, Chen Shiyi sighed, sat directly on the stone stairs on the side, silently in a daze, and was about to leave, I don't know if it was the sound of the wind blowing or what the reason was, the door creaked, and was suddenly pushed open, Chen Shiyi was startled and took a few steps back.

After a few minutes, seeing that there was no sound inside, there was no movement at all, Chen Shiyi shouted a few times, is there anyone? No one agreed, Chen Shiyi was stunned for a while, and patiently pushed the door in.

There was a smell of dust that had been sealed for a long time, the light was very gray, there was an eerie feeling, and there were a lot of strange things placed, peach wood swords, ghost drawing talismans, paper money......

"What are these things, peach wood swords, willow sticks, black cats, jade, obsidian, and garnet are not all good products to ward off evil spirits, this guy won't deliberately deceive me and cheat me for money, right?"

Chen Shiyi looked carefully at the broken thoughts of talking to himself, passing by here a few days ago, he met an old Taoist priest in this shop, looked at her, and opened his mouth to say: "The yin spirit is haunted by the yin and the yin relationship is difficult to continue, and the wish is not resolved, and the marriage is wrong." However, the other side waited hard, and about seventy-seven died in seven years. ”

The weather was raining heavily that night, and the old man's words were gloomy, so that Chen Shiyi couldn't help but start goosebumps when he heard it, and felt unlucky, glared at him and was about to leave, but the old Taoist priest didn't stop her, but suddenly said: "When you go to bed in the middle of the night, do you hear the sound of marbles falling upstairs, it's because the eyeballs of "something" fell to the ground." Maybe friends who live on the top floor can sometimes encounter such a sound, don't think that this is a child playing marbles in the middle of the night, this is a kind of death call. ”

These words made Chen Shiyi, who was standing in the dim corner of the side, break out in a cold sweat.

She hasn't slept well these days, and it is true that she hears strange sounds from the roof every night, but the only thing she wonders about is that the house where Chen Shiyi lives is the last floor of the unit building.

There was no rooftop, no neighbors, and no rain, and she really didn't understand where the voices came from, but they were so clear that there was something too oppressive in the darkness.

It was also from that day that she began to dream, repeating one strange dream scene after another every time, just like the eighties and nineties, the style of retro old Hong Kong films, but every time there was no sound in each dream, it was a silent and silent picture.

"You're looking for me?"

"Ahh

A voice sounded from behind Chen Shiyi, startling Chen Shiyi.

Looking at the old man who suddenly appeared behind him, Chen Shiyi patted his chest and said to the old man: "You almost scared me to death." ”

"I can scare you to death here, so won't you have to die many times in the future?"

"Bah, don't say such unlucky things, okay?"

I don't know why, in view of the various strange things that have happened in the past few days, Chen Shiyi is extremely sensitive to the word death.

She is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, she just thinks that death is so terrifying, and it is crazy to think about it.

"Tell me, what are you looking for from me?"

The old man glanced at Chen Shiyi, and no longer joked with her, took a sip of the tea on the side, tapped his fingers on the sandalwood cabinet, and asked Chen Shiyi.

"I, I just want to ask you what you mean by those inexplicable words you said to me that day."

Chen Shiyi twisted her fingers, a little embarrassed to ask, after all, she thought she was joking when the old man told her about this, and she was not very polite to others.

"That's not an inexplicable word, that's a prophecy I gave you."

"Huh?"

"To put it simply, you were hit by a yin man, and the yin man went up."

"Yin people's upper body? What do you mean? ”

The old man's words were quite mysterious, which made Chen Shiyi confused for a while, scratched his head, and still asked incomprehensibly.

"It's the ghost of the dead who came up to you."

As soon as the old man's words came out, Chen Shiyi was so frightened that Chen Shiyi broke out in a cold sweat, and asked tremblingly: "But I rarely go out of the house, I stay at home, either at work or at home, how can I be taken by the Yin Man?" ”

"Staying at home all day long, not very active, isn't it just that you can't absorb the sunshine, and there is no bright, lively and masculine atmosphere all day long, isn't it easy to attract things that are not clean."

"Wouldn't that be like this, many otaku and otaku are also prone to ghosts."

Chen Shiyi rubbed his nose, he couldn't deny what he said to this old man.

If that's the case, wouldn't there be too many otaku and otaku all of them to hit the ghost?

The old man probably couldn't bear to have someone so suspicious of his Taoism, besides, this Chen Shiyi was still one, two, three, and he had been questioning him with suspicion, and he couldn't help but reach out and knock her on the head, and snorted: "You are so easy to meet when everyone else, this is also about fate, and there are naturally great differences in the physique of each person." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, then looked at Chen Shiyi and said: "Besides, you have been entangled with that guy in your past and present lives, so you can't escape this catastrophe." ”

"Past and present lives? Does it mean that there is reincarnation in this world? ”

"What people call the soul is called divine consciousness in Buddhism. When man's body dies, his consciousness is immortal. That divine consciousness either ascends to heaven, or is reborn as a human being, or becomes an assura, or becomes an animal, or becomes a hungry ghost, or goes to hell by virtue of the good and evil of his actions in life, and this day, man, asura, animal, hungry ghost, and hell are called the six realms. When this one is finished, then move on to another. In this way, death and life, birth and death, back and forth, never stop. ”

The old man said that he had a long break, but when he looked at Chen Shiyi, he stared at her in confusion for a while, and the old man sighed, he knew that these young people now, where do they understand this, wasting his saliva, and it seems that he didn't understand a word of this girl for a long time.

So he didn't bother to speak, waved his hand, and said: "Forget it, I won't tell you this, you don't understand, now that you are a yin person, I can do it for you, but ......"

"But what?"

When Chen Shiyi heard this, he was stunned again.

"You have some trouble with this thing, after all, I have been entangled with you for a few reincarnations, and if you really want to get rid of it completely, you have to run it yourself."

"So what am I going to do?"

The old man glanced at her, stretched out the palm of his left hand, spit on his right hand, and then drew a talisman on his left hand with his right hand, Chen Shiyi only felt that the painting was messy for a while, and the old man didn't care whether Chen Shiyi agreed or not, he directly pulled her right hand and put his hand on her hand, thinking that the old man had his spit on his hand, Chen Shiyi couldn't help but want to wipe it on his clothes, the old man glanced at her, and said lightly: "If you want to die, you just wipe it." ”

When Chen Shiyi heard this, he obediently didn't move, but the thought of the spit on his hand was really a little disgusting.

The old man then gave her a map, Chen Shiyi spread it out, and looked at the old man suspiciously: "What is this?" ”

"Map, you have to go to this temple in person, rest assured, there is someone to pick you up there."

"Am I going alone?"

"Shall I go with you? I'll have to stay here for you to do, it's not going to be easy. ”

After speaking, the old man's long sleeves flicked, and the red candles all around him lit up, the old man touched his beard and said to Chen Shiyi: "This is your life candle, you are equivalent to being in a hurry with that yin person, if you are in danger, the red candle will be extinguished here, I have to guard it at any time, you have to remember that your time is a race against time, if the red candle is extinguished, you don't want to stay in the yang world." ”

After speaking, the old man disappeared in an instant, leaving Chen Shiyi alone with a map and standing in the hall stunned.

Chen Shiyi looked around, but couldn't see where the old man went, spread out the map again and looked at it, frowning, she didn't know whether what the old man said now was true or false, glanced at the red candles lit up around, and her intuition told her that she had to go, so she couldn't help gritting her teeth, and muttered in a low voice: "Forget it, I have the right to fight, anyway, he will confiscate my money, if it is a charlatan, it is a big deal not to give money." ”

Chen Shiyi was about to go out, but she was stunned again, she thought how could this matter be solved so easily, how could this old man be so easy to talk, and tell her how to crack it so briskly, thinking that she was still scolding other people's old gods that day, he was still so good-tempered today and helped himself regardless of his previous suspicions, Chen Shiyi suddenly hesitated, this guy wouldn't deliberately fix himself, right?

But he has no grievances with him, besides, if you don't go, if you don't go, you have something, just fight hard, thinking about it, Chen Shiyi turned around and walked out of the store.

As soon as she walked on her front foot, the old man on her back foot came out, except that he was followed by a young man with clear eyebrows.

The old man looked at the back of the man who was getting farther and farther away, glanced at the young man, and sighed: "Your obsession is really deep enough, for her, you will not hesitate to spend thousands of years of cultivation in the reincarnation of life and life, is it worth it for you?" ”

"You know what? Some are destined to be irreplaceable. ”

The young man looked at Chen Shiyi, who was leaving, and his eyes flashed with the warmth of a little starlight.

The old man shook his head and turned to leave, but he left a sentence slowly: "People are meeting and parting every day in their lives, every encounter in the world is a reunion, and it is also a parting. It is better to choose a quiet way, keep a paradise alone, let the past go and leave, I am happy, and I am not shocked. ”

Listening to the words left behind by the old man's departure, the young man frowned.

If you love too hard, will you not be able to see your heart clearly?
