Chapter 15: Catastrophe
There are big and small people's abilities, and the resentment of the spirits is also strong and weak, and everyone has seen examples of my successful handling, but not all spirits are the same way to deal with them. The stronger the resentment, the longer the time to absorb the more yin energy, the stronger the ability. So not all the jobs I will take, because there are some things that I can't handle at all, but I am a very stable character, just like the business of fighting on behalf of elementary school students in junior high school, I don't take it over the fifth grade, because there is a possibility that I can't fight.
The reason why I have such a calm personality in dealing with business is because of an incident that happened shortly after I left Master to handle business independently. That was a profound lesson, and if it weren't for that wake-up call, I don't know how I would have died now.
It's very inappropriate to say that it is business, because it is not to help others deal with it, but it really happened to me, of course, I don't know that I am alone, and there are three classmates who have experienced it with me.
That was something that happened during my college years, before the pen fairy. College life is uninhibited and uninhibited. And I also learn some Taoism, and I forcibly feel that I am a dragon, but in fact, I am an earthworm at best, just like most people's friends who have just graduated from college with excellent grades feel that they are outstanding in their studies. Wandering casually in society, but when I went out of society, I found that sometimes good grades are useless, and it is not as good as those who have poor grades but are very sleek.
It was 07, when the sophomore year was about to start, it seemed to be low in August, and it was also the time of the Midyear Festival, which was also what we all called the Ghost Festival. Since I had a few classmates and planned to go camping together, I went down the mountain early to school. Prepare to go to Chibi to play and then welcome the intense study life of the sophomore year.
The morning before the Midyear Festival, I arrived at school, gathered with three other classmates, and then took a train to Chibi, and when I arrived at Chibi, it was already afternoon, we ate in the city, and then chartered a van and went directly to the Chibi Scenic Area. It was almost forty kilometers from the city, and the roads were so rough that by the time we arrived at our destination, it was already late.
Our destination is the Wangjiang Pavilion on the top of Chibi Mountain, where we plan to set up a tent at night, and we have long heard that the Wangjiang Pavilion can directly see the place where Cao Cao's garrison was in place, that is, Wulin Village. So when discussing where to go, I didn't hesitate to say that I came here to feel Huang Gai's ambition and pride in looking down on hundreds of thousands of Cao Jun back then. Of course, we don't see Cao Jun, all we can see are hundreds of thousands of mosquitoes, flies and all kinds of insects.
In fact, I know that around the Midyear Festival, and even the entire seventh lunar month is not suitable for camping in the wild, because the seventh lunar month is the Ghost Festival, the yin qi is very strong, and it is the day when the ghost door is wide open, and many wandering ghosts who have not fallen into reincarnation for the time being have the opportunity to return to the yang world, just like prisoners coming out to watch the wind, but they will not do evil for no reason, because they are all guarded by yin, which is why there are the most supernatural events in July, but there are not many headless cases due to supernatural events.
Therefore, I would like to advise all friends who like camping, do not go camping in the wilderness during Halloween, and try to choose some dilapidated temples or nunnery to stay overnight, try to avoid setting up tents in mountain streams or places with the sun back, and no matter what you see, try not to make a sound, let alone stare all the time. In addition, on the day of the Midyear Festival, the ghosts in the city generally like to gather in the usually cold corridors, or the stairwells of high-rise buildings, and other places that are rarely popular, so you should also avoid going less.
The reason why I chose to set up a tent on the Wangjiang Pavilion in Chibi Mountain during the Midyear Festival is not that I don't know that the ghost gate of the Midyear Festival is closed, but precisely because there were many souls in the Battle of Chibi back then, but after so many years and so many generations, it should have been cleared up a long time ago, and after such a big battlefield, there must have been predecessors who put up a profound formation here to suppress it. And I looked at the map carefully, and I felt that the layout was indeed a magic circle, and no ghosts would invade. So instead of worrying, I felt that this should be a safer place.
Of course, the three of them don't know that there are really a lot of ghosts coming out of the Midyear Festival, and two of them don't even know what the Midyear Festival is, and the other is a roommate, surnamed Yu. Naturally, he knew what I was tinkering with, so he thought that as long as he followed me, there was nothing to do. Since there were no lights at the top of the mountain at night, but fortunately it was the fifteenth and the moonlight was very bright. So even if we don't turn on the lights, we can still see clearly.
The moonlit mountains are undulating, and the breeze blows the trees, carrying a little mist. From time to time, there is also the sound of unknown birds cooing. However, when I felt the gust of wind, I thought to myself, this is not good, I can't really touch them. I don't know if they took the drug, not only did they not feel afraid, but the two girls also said that they were romantic, romantic.
Yu was on the side, echoing vigorously, saying something about the weather is really good, the air is really fresh, and it is very comfortable.
At that time, in addition to being cooler, we stayed outside the tent, there were mosquitoes everywhere, how could we feel comfortable? But when it comes to mosquitoes, I always use the Pu'an mantra to drive them away. But that night was the Midyear Festival. Just in case, I'm afraid of angering the passing spirits or bad guys, so I don't dare to use it. I was a very mosquito-friendly person, so I got into the tent and suggested that they go into the tent and talk again.
There were four of us, two tents. The girls were one top, and Yu and I were next to each other, so we entered the tent in time and chatted without restrictions. After entering the tent, I chatted with them without a word, and the conversation was all about boring topics. Of course, they looked red, and I found it boring because my mind was not on the conversation.
I always felt that something was not quite right nearby, and I didn't get involved in much of the topic of their chat, and my attention was also on the outside of the tent. While listening quietly to their chat, and listening to the movement outside, I didn't hear anything unusual for a while, until Yu said that he was going to tell a ghost story, when he heard a slight applause outside the tent. The voice is so soft that you can't hear it without listening carefully. When I heard it, I was also shocked, I thought it was safe here, but I didn't expect to be targeted.
I quickly stopped Yu's topic, saying that there is a certain truth in not talking about people during the day and ghosts at night. I asked Yu to change the subject, and he naturally understood what I meant, and then changed the topic again. I still talked with those two girls with relish, and I thought to myself that he would be able to live well with this mouth in the future. After thinking about it for a while, I was still worried, although I changed the topic, the friends who made applause outside would definitely not leave so easily. Relying on knowing something about the spiritual world, I didn't panic, because I was already panicked, and they were even more scared. When the time comes, it will create a situation that is difficult to control.
So I didn't speak either. He slowly unzipped the tent and stretched his head out, ready to look at the situation outside, which didn't matter, it really startled me, three steps away from the outside, there were two spirits sitting straight. Facing the tent, the same pale face and empty eyes, as if listening to our conversation, as if resting, I was sure they saw me. But they didn't react, and although I was a little scared, I didn't panic. As soon as I saw them, I shrunk my head in and zipped them up.
Yu looked at me with a wrong face and asked me what was wrong.
I made a shushing gesture to him to continue chatting, I took out my bag and started rummaging, and when he saw me take out a yellow talisman, he began to know what was going on, and he started to tremble when he spoke. I quickly glared at him, and then made a very fierce expression. Perhaps it was this expression that gave him confidence, and he began to talk to the two girls again naturally.
I lightly searched for things in my bag to see what could be used, and I wasn't sure if I could handle the two spirits outside, so I didn't dare to go out rashly. But what I do know is that now that they're here, and they're part of the conversation,
Then there seems to be no intention of leaving directly, and I don't know what will happen.
Carefully recalled the scene I just saw, and did not find the existence of a yin difference, all of them were originally in the mountains of the lonely soul or a lost ghost, if it is a lost lonely soul then our luck is really good, such a small probability can be encountered. It's okay if it's a lonely soul in the mountains, because they just sit there and don't move, so they won't hurt anyone. If it's a lost ghost, it's not easy to deal with, because they may find someone to possess them and then evade the shadows.
While I was still analyzing what to do, along with the sound of their chatting, I heard applause again, and it was not small, their conversation suddenly stopped, and apparently the three of them also heard it. I quickly and wittily raised my hands and applauded, in order to reassure the girl next door. I was still laughing and laughing like crazy, and they laughed inexplicably. Then I said that I suddenly saw a joke in a book on my phone and couldn't hold back, and you continued to talk about yours.
After listening to what I said, they actually believed it, and continued to talk brainlessly. I was a little puzzled at the time. It's not the broadcast host, where are there so many things to talk about, but after thinking about it, it's good for them to talk like this, at least they won't find out the situation outside. They won't find out, but Yu already knows what's going on, but he's not afraid, probably thinking that as a boy. He should be as brave as I am. Actually, he just didn't see it, and if he did, he probably wouldn't be able to tease the two girls so calmly, but I didn't plan to let him see it!
Although they are still chatting and have not found anything, they will find out sooner or later if they continue like this, and it is not a way to wait like this. I suddenly said that my eight-pack abs are a little uncomfortable, go outside and solve it first, don't come out and peek! In this way, I'm sure they won't look outside, at least the two girls won't, people live with a face! Then I took out a bundle of ink fountain wires and a few talismans, and I gave the rest of the amulet, and unzipped the tent to get out, which was unexpected.
I opened it and saw two pairs of feet less than a meter away, the kind of black cloth shoes on a white background, as if stepping on the ground, and like floating on the ground, I didn't dare to look up, pretending to climb out as if nothing happened, and then when I passed their tent, I casually threw two charms on the side of the tent, I don't know if it has any effect, anyway, it's better than nothing. Then I pretended to be calm and left the tent along the lower road.
I wanted to lure them away first, but I wasn't sure if they would go with me, so after taking seven steps I looked back again. They didn't move, as if they were still listening to their conversation.
Do these two spirits like to listen to other people's wordsγγγγγγ I suddenly remembered that when Yu told a ghost story and they applauded, I thought they must have wanted to hear a ghost story. I retreated again, of course I didn't look back, and when I retreated to the tent, and when I should have reached them, I shouted, don't talk about ghost stories, I have a lot of ghost stories, I'll tell you later, and I'll run away. It doesn't matter what they say.
I ran seven steps and wanted to look back, but before I could turn back, I saw a spirit running on the left and right, and the speed was still faster than me. At the time, I didn't know if it was my pride or what, I actually thought it was a race, I picked up speed again, I ran up, and I was caught in the middle for the first time, I don't know if it was out of fear or out of confidence in the work under my feet, I ran almost a thousand meters as soon as I ran, and I ran along the trail down the mountain, and kept running until I looked at them, they were also running, but their clothes were long shirts. Although the speed was fast, the clothes showed no signs of floating, and looking through the moonlight, the pale face looked calm, and the eyes were empty, not panting like a dog like me.
But now that I've taken them out of the tent and run so far, I don't have to run anymore, and I can't outrun them even if I die, so I slowly slowed down until I stopped. Then I squatted directly on the ground panting, and the moment I squatted down, those two pairs of feet also appeared in front of me in time. But I can't look up, and if I do, they'll catch me if they don't lean over me. I didn't speak, I didn't look up, thinking that they shouldn't be able to do anything to me, maybe the things on me, they couldn't do anything to me.
Although they can't do anything to me for the time being, if they keep following me, when the yin qi gathers to a certain extent, then the things on my body will not be so good. Even if you can't get on me, you can grab me all over my claws.
Some friends may think, don't you know how to catch it? Playing charms, chanting spells, and exorcism. Scatter ashes. Summoning five is rampant!! In fact, first, I didn't have five rampants at that time, and the five rampants were only obtained with the help of the master later. Second, I had already recited the exorcism spell during the run, but it didn't work. So, I have very little to use on me, except for a small bundle of ink fountain wires and a few talismans under me. And at that time, Master hadn't passed on my sigil.
Since the exorcism spell is useless for them at all, those few talismans without a talisman seal are naturally useless, which makes me even more sure that they are not the wandering spirits on the mountain, but the spirit gods who escaped or got lost in the hands of the ghost door when the door was closed!
They can avoid the shadows, and naturally they have their own skills, if they want to kill me, it shouldn't be difficult. Therefore, this kind of probability has happened to us, and it seems to be five million! Maybe it's my fateγγγγγγ
I was squatting on the ground and thought about it a lot. But I just didn't expect that I would be killed, that innate self-confidence has been reminding me that there will always be a way, there will always be a way! Before I could figure out how to deal with it, they began to circle around me, like two hungry wolves circling around a lamb, not out of scruples, but just for teasing.
While they were circling around me, I felt the yin qi getting heavier and heavier, what is the yin qi? It's a chilly feeling, which is different from the air conditioner. There was a feeling of suffocation and even a rancid smell, perhaps it was my mental effect, but it did smell something that did not belong to nature, and my expression became more and more trance-like, as if a force was forcing me to look up.
But at this time, I can't care so much, I am not good at learning, and I don't wonder who quickly recited all the mantras that can be set up, as well as all kinds of hand duels, and even some Buddhist scriptures are catchy. After a period of tossing, my spirit seemed to be better again, I took out the ink fountain line and talismans, and whether it was useful or not, first used the ink fountain line to surround myself, and then scattered the talisman on the ground, and began to meditate, and recited these various mantras and mantras in my heart, not afraid of being embarrassed, so I almost knelt on the ground and begged them to surround my life!
Being a man, especially being a man, can not blindly escape when encountering difficulties, to face bravely, the limit is used to break through, the rabbit is forced to be anxious and sometimes bites, not to mention that I am not a rabbit, at that time I thought that I must show my wild and wild domineering side, I should vent, I should roar!
Meow me
Although I thought fiercely, but it was really difficult to do, I really wanted to stand up and fight with them, but I was really not their opponent, I still have this self-knowledge, I don't know how long it took, my expression began to be in a trance again, and my thinking was a little out of control. When I saw a stone not far away, I don't know why, there was an urge to hit the medicine headlong, this phenomenon is called ghost fandom, and it is also a common form of ghost harm. It's like a water ghost harming people, no matter how much you know about water, once you get entangled in it, even a small stinky ditch can drown a swimmer. As much as I wanted to hit my head on the rock next to me, it was funny, and my consciousness told me that it couldn't be hit, absolutely not.
Fortunately, I have strong willpower, a strong body, and I have been chanting mantras, so I am not as direct as most people. Otherwise, in the 07 Chibi newspaper, there will be a news that a tourist on the top of Chibi Mountain was killed and committed suicide after being suspected of being trapped in love.
When they saw that I was slow to do something, they began to move their hands and feet on me, and then I thought that those things really didn't last long. I began to feel that I was scratched on my back, because I didn't wear much in the summer, the cold feeling was very real, like a snake crawling on my body, and the most direct feeling was the neck, as if I was entangled in a snake, and it was a little difficult to breathe.
I instinctively wanted to break free, but I couldn't, and I didn't care about meditating at this time, so I grabbed the ink fountain line and climbed up, then wrapped it around my neck, and wrapped it around myself a few times, and the touch of being grabbed by the spirit disappeared.
But that doesn't mean they're scared and gone, I can't care so much, and I'll run away! After running for a few hundred meters, I remember that I kept running down the mountain, but I didn't expect to run and see the rock I wanted to hit up, and I looked at it, isn't this the place just now? Ran back again, they really know how to play, and they even use it to hit the wall, how boring it is!
And at this moment, I don't have those two spirits by my side. Since you encounter a ghost hitting the wall, it's easy to do. For us, ghost hitting the wall is the best way to break it. Ordinary people just need to smoke a cigarette or pee, but we don't even need to be so troublesome, there is a set of spells that are specially designed to break ghosts and hit walls, taught by my father. I don't know if other Dharma sects are in use, but with a hand duel, it only takes a few seconds to break.
After breaking the ghost wall, I suddenly felt refreshed again, and the sense of yin and oppression was almost gone, and I wondered if it was because they had played too big or had enough, and they were never found again. By the time I got back to the tent, Yu and the other two girls hadn't talked anymore. But I didn't sleep either. It seemed to be waiting for me to come back, and there was no sign of the spirit god around, so I got inside and looked at my phone, it was already half past twelve.
I heard that the ghost gate closed at 12 o'clock in the middle of the year, I don't know if it's because of this reason, they leftγγγγγγ
After I went back, I did get seriously ill, and I used all kinds of methods to exorcise evil spirits, and I took a long time to regulate with Chinese medicine before I gradually recovered.
It's also a nightmare for me, and a wake-up call. During that time, I even thought about giving up this business. Master told me that there are certain dangers in any industry, but you must know how to avoid them. It was also after that incident that Master passed on to me the sigil, which was carved from lightning strike wood and covered with the rune paper, which greatly increased its power!
It's also a disaster for me, I've had lingering feelings for a long time after it happened, but now that I think about it, it's pretty good! Even a little grateful.
People will always encounter all kinds of things that are not going well and even feel hopeless in their lives, but those bad things will always pass, some people feel that they can't live happily after falling out of love, and some people feel that they are tired of living without economic prosperity. Some people feel that they can't bear the blow after losing their job, and some people feel that the pressure of life is too great to bear.
What are these things? Difficulties are only temporary, and there is a solution to anything, it just depends on how well you can accept it. Falling out of love and waiting for your fate is enough, no money will not starve to death, right? If you lose your job, you can find it again, and the pressure of life is not given by yourself!
Troubles are like a glass of water. When your heart is just a cup, your troubles are infinite. When your heart turns into a sea, what is the trouble of that glass of water?
