"I did meet a person as you described, but not in the last few days, but half a month ago."

Lin Shufan and I looked at each other in surprise.

"Uncle, can you please tell us the details?" Lin Shufan was thoughtful.

Seeing that the old man wanted to speak and stopped, he was quite anxious, so I comforted: "Uncle, don't worry. On this trip, the three of us are also on the mission of collecting demons and exorcisms, and the yin body that looks the same as me is afraid that it is the demon we are looking for all the way. ”

"Really... It's true? ”

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and immediately knelt down.

The old tear said: "Boy, girl." Fang Cai is also forced to have eyes and eyes that don't know the hearts of good people, and the two of you must save my daughter. ”

The old man knelt down, and Lin Shufan and I felt empty in our hearts, not only from the number of etiquette, but also implied that the family was in trouble.

We hurriedly picked up the old man and sat down next to him.

"Uncle, you breathe a sigh of relief and tell me eloquently, we can help you, and we can't give up a definition."

The old man's bloodshot eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope.

"Nephew Zhang, hurry up and prepare some food and drinks."

The old man recalled nervously: "Half a month ago, it was probably this time. There's a weirdo in our inn. ”

As he spoke, the old man raised his hand and pointed at me, "It's strange, but it's also a person, and it looks exactly like you, but the dress is more incomprehensible than the one on you." ”

The old man touched the cloth on his body and said, "You see, although our clothes are rough and different, they are all made of fabric. But what the demon wears is like a layer of skin, which seems to be able to absorb glow in the sun, and at night, there is an indescribable yin qi that emits out. ”

From the old man's account, I suddenly heard some clues, so I interrupted: "Uncle, have you ever seen him at night?" ”

"Hmm. for he has lodged in my inn. Alas... If I had been more decisive, I am afraid that I would not have suffered this disaster. ”

Things are getting more and more bizarre, and it stands to reason that a spirit, or an ethereal being, is something that exists like a soul, and that a soul chooses to live in a hotel, which is somewhat contrary to our perception.

"And then?"

"Then something happened. After the demon man stayed, he did not eat or drink, but only told us to find a room with weak yang energy, and ordered us to find thirteen bronze mirrors. At that time, I felt that something was wrong, and I didn't know why, but I felt that this person was setting up a demon method, so I told the store to pay more attention. ”

"Uncle, where does that man live?"

The old man raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the second floor, "The upper room on the west side." ”

I looked up and saw that the door had already been locked, and a yellow paper charm had been pasted on it.

The old man sighed: "Alas... In order to ward off evil spirits, and not wanting other residents to fall into the same way as my daughter, I invited some people who knew Taoism to suppress her. ”

"Your daughter?" Lin Shufan frowned.

Speaking of emotion, the old man couldn't stop his excitement anymore, sobbing and trembling: "My daughter is suffering from illness and is dying soon. ”

"Uncle, don't panic, maybe we have a solution." Lin Shufan comforted.

"Tell us what the man did, and I and Gao Cheng will judge."

The old man wiped his tears, "It turned out to be Mr. Gao, who was rude, and I don't know the girl's name?" ”

"Lin Shufan."

"Old Pi Zhang Shiren."

The three of them are familiar with each other, and they can discuss the truth regardless of their previous suspicions.

So, the old man opened his words, "The demon was so strange that he asked for thirteen bronze mirrors, and locked them in the house, not going out, from mid-day to sun-in." The more daring ones in my shop secretly leaned on the doors and windows to find out, but unexpectedly they saw a spectacle. ”

As he spoke, the old man shook his head, "If I hadn't experienced it myself later, I'm afraid I would never have thought that that person actually had the ability to create a mirage." ”

Lin Shufan and I looked at each other uneasily, "What do you mean by that?" ”

The old man said: "At first, from the crack in the door, a few of my shop workers saw the vast ocean; And my nephew was deeply suspicious, so he went alone, and this look was even more outrageous, in broad daylight, he saw a vast starry sky in his house, and it is said that it was the scene of the immortal feathering. ”

"Of course I didn't believe it, thinking it was a demon practice, I thought about pulling a few people and going to call the door, but who knows, there were still a few steps away from the West House, and I entered his illusion. There was a lot of noise all around, and there were big dragonflies flying by, and there were things that were so fast that they were speeding by, like giant bugs, but there were wheels, and it was so strange that we all shrank back into the backyard. ”

"Ran, did you think of something?" Lin Shufan's words are not a question, but an affirmation.

"Hmm. The giant dragonflies and bugs that the old man mentioned should be helicopters and cars. ”

"And the sea view and the universe...," Lin added.

I thought she was in line with my thoughts, so I asked, "Do you also think that this matter is a time and space created by the reflection and refraction of things by mirrors?" ”

Lin Shufan nodded heavily, and asked the old man again, "Then how did your daughter get sick?" ”

"Ugh." The old man looked remorseful.

"I consulted with everyone in the backyard and decided to report this strange matter to the government. Unexpectedly, at this time, the demon asked to send another bronze mirror to his room, and it was immediately, but the people who sold the copper mirror were all small merchants and hawkers. I don't know where my daughter got the news, and she was afraid that something would happen to the family, so she handed over the mirror she used for her daily makeup. ”

Later, the people from the government arrived, and it was night. The group tiptoed up to the second floor, but there was no difference, and when they pushed the door in, the demon was long gone, and the house was restored to its original state, without a trace. Several officials were immediately furious, thinking that I was using them for amusement, so they became ill-willed. ”

Saying that, the old man howled and cried.

Lin Shufan's face turned blue and white, and he said indignantly: "It's really the most poisonous people's hearts." ”

The old man sighed, "Alas... They ate and drank in the West House, and asked my daughter to accompany them in the meal. If we, ordinary people, do not comply, we are at risk of losing our heads at any time. The little girl was sensible, holding a pot of wine, and entered the thief's den with tears. My wife and I were outside the door, and we never dared to leave. ”

As he spoke, the old man said, "Alas... My wife and I were outside, and judging from the movements I heard, at that time, several officials forcibly fed her a glass of wine, and when she wanted to misbehave, she suddenly screamed, and then, someone broke down the door, shouting ghosts, demons, and demons. ”

The old man fell into the scene of that night, and couldn't help but shudder a few times, "At that time, I only had my daughter's safety in my heart, so I rushed in regardless of it... Can... Can... The room had long since become a mass grave, not to mention the stench, there was a pile of filth on the human body, and what was even more terrible was that my daughter was held on the thigh by a dying man, and she had already lost consciousness. ”

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but feel a stirring in his stomach, looking at the meal prepared for us, he just turned his body away, didn't say anything, and secretly felt sad.

"Uncle, when you rescued your daughter, the so-called illusion disappeared, but she has been unconscious to this day, right?" According to his own conjecture, Lin Shufan helped the old man narrate what happened later.

The old man nodded, and shook his head again, "What Miss Lin said is only half right, after the little girl was rescued, she was not unconscious, but vomited and diarrhea, and collapsed excessively, so she fell into a coma." ”
