Chapter 32: Nightmares
However, all we could do was curse him in the distant mountains.
Maybe a monk with advanced Taoism can really make people thousands of miles away die through curses, but for us, this kind of magic is still too profound, and in today's world, when many Taoism methods have been destroyed, we may not have the opportunity to see and learn in our lifetime.
I met Liu Xiao once by chance, she has returned to normal, and she is still the same way I see a pitiful bird, but she is accompanied by another tall boy.
Lu Xiaoling said that she didn't even remember that she had dated Wu Ling, which made me feel a little sad for them. Boys like Zhang Ke and Wu Ling, what are they in her heart? They all paid a heavy price for her, but they may not be able to leave a ripple in her flowery years.
"What are you doing?" Lu Xiaoling suddenly slapped me heavily from behind. "I've boasted about Haikou, don't embarrass me!"
"Got it......," I said helplessly.
Actually, I don't want to take on such a job at all, according to my thoughts, it is only right to cultivate honestly, at least until I learn one or two charms with a little bit of attack ability before coming out to help.
But Lu Xiaoling obviously didn't think so, "Only by experiencing more events can you mature as soon as possible!" She said with a look of hatred.
You're not mature yourself, okay!
Although I thought so, I still didn't refuse her request, I don't know if it was my delusion, but the progress of honest cultivation is really a little crazy. Every time I experience a strange or dangerous experience, my strength can be significantly improved, at least it will also make me improve by leaps and bounds in the following days.
I remember that when I experienced the incident of Heihezi before, Master Lu also said that "jade can't be cut without a weapon", I don't know if this is the reason?
"This is it." She said, pointing to the neighborhood in front of her.
Jiangong New Village, can be regarded as one of the oldest communities in the distant mountains, the houses here were built in the eighties of the last century, and it has been more than 20 years now, and the red bricks have begun to peel off piece by piece in many places, and the sewers should be poorly drained, emitting bursts of foul smell.
The place, like most of its inhabitants, seems to be dying on the move.
"How do you know about places like this?" I couldn't help but ask.
It's hard to imagine that Lu Xiaoling, who lives in a high-end apartment, would have something to do with this kind of place.
"It's my elementary school classmate." She said with great interest. "A few days ago, he asked around the group if anyone knew a reliable master, and I probably asked him what it was, and then I recommended you."
"What's the matter?" I'm a little curious, and following the steps every day has made me bored to death.
"You don't have to worry about that." Lu Xiaoling said. "It's a new ghost, and it should be easy to handle. Don't you already know how to draw soul talismans? Just in time! ”
New ghosts? Is it that simple?
I looked at her confident face and couldn't help but be a little skeptical.
"If your Soul Talisman doesn't work, isn't there still me?" Lu Xiaoling said. "Recently, my success rate in drawing thunder fire talismans has increased a lot!" She opened the bag and showed it to me, and it was full of painted charms.
"Such a large amount, the old demon of Montenegro also blew it up!" She said confidently.
I wonder how much time it took her to draw so many talismans?
Could it be that in addition to participating in various club activities, her life is to stay at home and do this extremely boring work?
"Let's be cautious, don't forget Master Cao's words." I reminded her.
"Yes, yes! Let's go find my classmate first! Lu Xiaoling pulled me and walked forward.
"Meow~" There was a sudden terrible cat meow next to me, and I looked at the place where the sound came from and found that it was a big black cat, looking at us cautiously. There were also several wild cats on the eaves next to it, of all colors, looking at us.
Thirty or forty meters away, I had the feeling of being stared at.
I was about to open the Eye of the Sky, but suddenly they ran away.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xiaoling looked at me and asked in surprise.
"Those cats ......"
"In such an old community, it is normal for there to be more wild cats."
We continued to walk forward, a chubby young man with glasses was looking down at his mobile phone on the side of the road, and Lu Xiaoling shouted loudly from a distance: "He Jin! ”
The young man raised his head, and when he saw Lu Xiaoling, he was so surprised that the phone fell to the ground.
"Are you...... Lu Xiaoling? His eyes seemed to bulge into the lenses of his glasses.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Xiaoling asked strangely.
"Nothing...... It's nothing! The fat man looked down in a panic to pick up his phone.
I couldn't help but ask, "How long has it been since you've seen each other?" ”
"From my fourth grade transfer to now...... Ten years, right? Lu Xiaoling replied.
"Yes, yes......" He Jin said with an unnatural smile. I really didn't expect you Lu Xiaoling...... It's not the same person as it was. ”
"Oh?" My curiosity was piqued at once. "What was she like before?"
"This ......" He Jin glanced at Lu Xiaoling carefully. In short, it is very different. ”
"What are you two talking about?" Lu Xiaoling said very unhappily. "He Fatty, hurry up and tell me what's going on."
"Oh~ I'm sorry, let you make a special trip." He Jin wiped the sweat on his face and said.
"You are the master that Xiaoling said?" There was obvious suspicion in his eyes.
"I'm baby-faced and young." I snorted and turned the subject back. "What the hell is going on?"
"It all started a week ago." He Jin pushed his glasses with his hand and said to us.
This community, like other old communities in the distant mountains, has poor supporting facilities, outdated facilities, and a bad environment, and almost all the families with conditions have moved away. Those who live here are either old people, tenants from other places, or students like He Jin who are unwilling to live in schools and live in cheaply.
This is also the case in the house in front of us, a six-story house, two units, each unit of three people, all small suites of less than 50 square meters.
He Jin lives in unit 301, and the matter is 102.
There is an old couple living there, a year and a half ago when He Jin just moved in, he could often see the two of them going out for a walk and shopping for vegetables together, but a year ago, the husband of the old couple suddenly suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, and he could no longer get off the ground, so there were fewer opportunities to see them. I can see it by chance, but it's just a sad and haggard wife, who looks crumbling.
"Do they have no children?" Lu Xiaoling asked.
"I heard that I went abroad, and I haven't come back once a year." He Jin replied.
"Aren't there volunteers to help them?"
"I don't know." He Jin shook his head.
In fact, no one has seen her come out since more than a month ago, but now in this society, the affection between neighbors is weak, and no one will pay attention to the situation of this old man.
It wasn't until the stench was intolerable that someone called the police.
"I just came back from school when the police opened the door." He Jin said with a pale face. "It's miserable."
It is said that maggots crawled to the ground, the wife collapsed in the bathroom, and the husband was lying on the bed.
According to the analysis of the police who investigated the scene, it is very likely that the wife collapsed in the toilet due to some kind of disease, but the husband who had a stroke had no way to call it out and find no help from anyone.
He watched his wife die in front of him, and then he died in bed from hunger and thirst.
He Jin's story was stumbling, but it gave me a creepy feeling.
How could such a thing happen to us?
Lu Xiaoling's face was also very ugly, and after a long time, she asked, "And then?" ”
"The whole building started having nightmares." The hairs on He Jin's face slowly stood up. "At first, I thought it was just me, but one day when I went downstairs, I happened to hear two people upstairs talking about it, and I realized that it was not just me. Later, the one from One Hundred and One asked one by one, and found that everyone had the same dream. ”
"What kind of dream?"
"It's just that I dreamed that the old lady was standing in front of the bed and kept asking: Why doesn't anyone care about us?"
