Chapter 30: Rotten Flesh
What is evil, I was just in a hurry, but think about it, at that time, while reciting the Tao Te Ching, while thinking about other things, I was thinking about two things, and it didn't look like I was evil.
But it's not right, Teacher Zhai and other classmates at the door have become very manic because of the influence of yin qi, why is Liu Shangang like no one?
At this time, I suddenly had a very bad premonition. The Liu Shangang on my back, is it really Liu Shangang?
Thinking so in my heart, Liu Shangang stretched out his hand in front of me, and when I looked down, I saw that he was holding two pieces of white paper wrapped toffee in his hand, this kind of candy is too familiar to me, it is the most common kind of toffee in my master's house.
I heard Liu Shangang say behind my back: "Grandpa Chai gave me the candy, and said it was ...... It is said that it is used to block evil, but the taste is a little strange, give. While speaking, Liu Shangang shook the candy in his hand.
No wonder he can stay normal, this kind of sugar is originally used to stabilize and replenish yang energy, after eating sugar, the influence of yin energy will naturally be much smaller.
Alas, a false alarm, scared me to death.
After eating the sugar, I immediately felt a very gentle warm current rising from my abdomen, which was slowly flowing through my body, and when I ate this candy in the past, I would feel the same feeling again, and any time I could go was far less cordial than this one. However, I have to say that the taste of this sugar is still as bitter as ever, and it is really a shame that Liu Shangang can eat it.
Liu Shangang was still afraid, shook my shoulder and said, "Brother, I want to go home." β
I walked around the playground with him on my back, and it was still gray and white, and I couldn't make out the direction. I knew that under the influence of this yin energy, my chances of getting out of the playground were slim.
At this time, the warm current brought by the piece of sugar had flowed all over my body, my body was relaxed, and my courage became bigger, and I finally decided to go and see what was going on with the yin qi in the northwest corner.
Liu Shangang should also be able to feel the uncomfortable aura in the northwest corner of the playground, and when he saw me walking in that direction, he said to me again: "Brother, I want to go home." β
I sighed and said to him, "We can't go home for a while." Thin monkey, you remember, no matter what you see, you can't scream, you can't cry, and you can't leave me. β
When I said this, I was secretly surprised in my heart, just over two years ago, my master seemed to have said something similar to me.
I just carried Liu Shangang on my back and walked in the direction of the northwest corner, as I got closer and closer to the yin qi, Liu Shangang became more and more nervous, and when he saw that he was less than ten meters away from the yin qi, Liu Shangang said again: "Brother, let's go home." I'm scared. β
In fact, I regret it a little now, even if I ate sugar, but when the yin qi fell on me with the raindrops, it still made my scalp tingle for a while.
I shouldn't have run to the playground in the first place.
But it's useless to regret it now, with such a big fog, you definitely can't get out.
I paused for a moment and said to Liu Shangang: "Don't be afraid, don't you still have me, I have studied art with my master in the past two years, but I didn't learn it in vain." β
In this sentence, I am comforting Liu Shangang, and I am also comforting myself, I really hope that the things that Master has given me in the past two years can be used.
After that, I still carried Liu Shangang on my back and walked forward slowly, but I don't know what's wrong, every time I lift my legs, my calves and stomach are like being filled with lead, which is particularly heavy.
I could vaguely feel that the yin qi didn't seem to want me to come near it, as if my arrival was also a very dangerous thing for it.
I don't know what is hidden in the yin qi, but I think it may be afraid of me.
Thinking about it, I feel a lot more at ease, maybe I can really hold that thing down.
After a few more steps, a tin house in the northwest corner of the playground appeared in front of me through the thick fog.
On the day when the Olympiad class was first built, Mr. Zhai also took us to come once, when he came here to find the ball in order to explain a topic related to basketball.
But today, after being washed by heavy rain wipers, this small warehouse gives people a very depressing feeling, the snow-white paint on the walls has been washed spotlessly, and a pair of black windows are like a pair of empty eyes, staring at me silently. The entire building looks like a giant skull half-buried in the ground.
And the black air, when I saw it before, was only a hazy outline, but now, through the window, I can clearly see that it is entrenched in the room, like countless small snakes.
At that time, I had never experienced any strong winds and waves, and I was scared just to see such a scene.
Liu Shangang also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and the hand he put on my shoulder trembled a little.
"Brother, let's not go in." Liu Shangang whispered to me behind his back, his cautious tone as if he was afraid of alarming something in the tin house.
I put Liu Shangang down and asked him to wait for me outside, and I went in to have a look.
At that time, I was still thinking that the things in the house must be afraid of me, and as long as I was not afraid of him, maybe I could suppress it. At that time, I was naΓ―ve.
As soon as I walked to the door and tried to push it, Liu Shangang ran over and hid behind me, grabbing my clothes. I didn't say much, I knew that when he was by my side, at least one other person was with him, and when he was outside, he would be more afraid. In fact, I also want to have someone with me, at least this way, I can feel a little more at ease.
I tried to push the rusty iron door, but it was unlocked, and with a "squeak-a-" the door opened.
The room was dark, so I tried to pull the light cord, and the old light bulb on the roof flickered twice before going out.
In the short time when the lights came on, the black gas in the room seemed to be disturbed, and it moved to the cabinet in the corner of the wall like a gust of wind.
I was terrified, but I only had one thought in my head, I wanted to see what was inside that black gas. I am such a person who does death, but if I don't have a heart to die, I can't do what we do.
By the glimmer of light coming through the window, I could only dimly discern the outlines of some things, the ball frame, the table, and a cabinet for small instruments, which I remember roughly as I had been here before. I just leaned on my memories while touching the wall, and slowly approached the small cabinet in the corner.
Liu Shangang didn't dare to follow me into the house, so he leaned against the door and looked at me tremblingly.
He didn't dare to speak, and I didn't dare to breathe, so I came to the cabinet and reached out and grabbed the handle of the door.
When my fingers touched the two handles, I felt that my fingers were frozen in an instant, although it was raining outside, but now it was the height of summer, but the small cabinet in front of me was like soaking in the ice altar for a long time, with a deep chill on it.
My feet were trembling, but I still wanted to see what was in the cabinet, so I silently memorized the Tao Te Ching in my heart, and slowly opened the cabinet door with a sigh of relief.
There was a click, and when I opened the door, something fell from the cabinet and hit the floor hard. The sound, which sounded like a rattle of meat, made me feel like a large piece of meat that had fallen from the top of the cabinet.
Liu Shangang couldn't see the situation in the house clearly, so he asked me at the door: "Brother, what's the movement, don't scare me!" β
He startled me by speaking suddenly, but I still stubbornly said, "It's okay." Then he turned his head and looked at the place where the voice had just been heard.
The light was dim, and all I could see was a big black mass next to the cabinet, and it seemed to be moving!
I swallowed, and my hand touched the cupboard, and I touched something like a stick, I remember the last time I was here, I saw a half-truncated mop rod in this cabinet, and this is what I am touching now.
I took the stick, walked carefully to the cabinet, and poked the black lump of "meat" with the stick in my hand.
I don't know if it was my delusion or what, but I saw the "meat" squirm a little, but when I poked it with a stick, it became quiet again.
And judging by the soft sensation that came from the stick when it poked it, I was more certain that it was a very soft piece of meat.
I comforted myself in my heart that this was probably just an ordinary piece of meat, probably some teacher bought it from the vegetable market and forgot it here, so that the meat was already a little rotten. Yes, the piece of meat was rotten, and I could smell a rancid smell very clearly.
Just as I was thinking like this, the flesh suddenly stood up with a "whew", and it suddenly stood up from the flat mass anyway, as high as my knees.
Immediately after, there was a flash outside the room, and I only heard a muffled click, and then there was a bright blue light shining into the window, and the environment of the black hole and black hole became very bright in an instant, blue bright.
And I finally saw clearly what the piece of meat in front of me was.
It was a child, very young, only as tall as my knees, a child who was white, as if he had been soaked in water for a long time, and whose flesh was swollen and rotten, and whose eyes, black and hollow, had no whites at all, staring straight at me.
I heard my master say that there are many kinds of ghosts in this world, and the most ferocious one is the ghost baby, this kind of ghost thing is formed because of the accumulation of resentment, and the perennial yin wind is washing, even the powerful monks are difficult to control.
As soon as I saw it, I couldn't memorize the Tao Te Ching, and I felt a wave of despair occupy my mind in an instant, and the sky and the earth were about to collapse.
My master also taught me some ways to deal with ghosts, but at that time, I only remembered one sentence in my head: "If you encounter something you can't deal with, run quickly, run as fast as you can, and at least delay a little time." β
