Chapter 13: The Ghost Inn
I dragged Liu Yu to the legend that there are often ghosts in the car of the unfinished building, far away I saw a few ghosts wandering nearby, Liu Yu told me, the atmosphere here made him feel very uncomfortable, persuaded me to go back before I went in, maybe it was still too late, because he thought there should be a lot of ghosts here, but I said nothing but refused, what to say to find out what is going on here.

I pulled him to approach the building, and found that there were indeed a lot of ghosts, and it can be said that it was like a city, very lively, and when I walked to the door, I found that it was not a bad building at all, although the structure of the building was still as it seemed on the surface, but the furnishings in the house were very similar to the inn in the costume drama on TV, and there was a counter on the side of the door, and a sign was erected next to it, which read: Do not approach the living.
I thought this was too strange, and I didn't know anyone who didn't let me in? There was a person standing in the counter, no, it was a ghost, he probably wanted to look good, and his two faces were painted with exaggerated blush, which made people feel even more creepy when they looked at it, he smiled and asked, "Are you two here to stay in the hotel?" ”
I was stunned for a second and pulled Liu Yu and ran out, until I escaped from the road, I squatted on the ground and gasped, although it was winter, I felt that my clothes were already wet with sweat......
Liu Yu also asked me out of breath: "What are you running?" What do you see? I looked at Liu Yu, and sure enough, the things in it were invisible to ordinary people. I told him everything I had just seen, and I swear there must be something weird about that place!
Liu Yu opened his mouth wide in surprise when he heard my story: "Ghost Inn!" ”
There is such a story among the people, there are some ghosts who have nowhere to go, will find a building that has not been inhabited for many years, open an inn there, and welcome the ghosts, and they have one thing in common is that no one is buried after death, generally speaking, they are dead in the field, relatives do not know, or there are no bones left and the body cannot be identified, in ancient times, when the war was fought, there were many soldiers who died on the battlefield, and the entity could not be transported back to their hometown, and the people at home received the obituary, and they would take the clothes of the deceased before their death to bury it, It is called a mound of clothes.
And many of the souls of the dead who have neither buried the corpse nor the well-dressed mound, have to wander in the world, and there are usually several kinds of ends, the most common is to reach the date and hour recorded in the life and death book of the king of Hades, and be taken away by the ghost to send to the underworld, waiting for the next reincarnation, and there is also being overtaken by the person who has attained the Tao, and the worst thing is that the heart is harmful, and the soul is scattered after being caught.
But in that unfinished building, a ghost inn has been built, which shows the huge number of ghosts, but where did those ghosts come from?
Liu Yu told me that there is an aphorism in his life, that is: it is not about oneself to hang high. Later, he told again: Do what you can, and you will not be confused; The power is beyond reach, and the defeat is unknown.
I didn't understand it at first, but he explained to me that the difficulty of doing things should be measured against the gap between one's own ability. We do what we are capable of, and we can not only succeed without getting confused, but also accumulate good fortune as a result. On the other hand, if we have to do what we are not capable of, we will not only fail, but we will not know what we are wrong. Moreover, this is dealing with ghosts, and if you don't do it, you will cause death.
Liu Yu said that he would not go to that place again, and forbade me to go again. I didn't know at that time that Liu Yu was for my good, I just thought that he was selfish, only recognized money, and would retreat when there was no money to make, which made me rebel in my heart, and even some began to deliberately alienate him.
I couldn't sleep all night for a few days, and I only thought about that one thing in my heart day and night, and then I decided that Liu Yu couldn't see the ghost either, and it was useless to pull him there at the beginning, so it was better for me to go by myself.
That night, I lied to Liu Yu that I went to the Internet café to video with Huang Mengying, and he didn't say anything, only told me to pay attention to safety.
I secretly took a few pieces of talisman paper from the treasury and put it in my pocket, it was a talisman that could make people temporarily hide people's yang energy, that was what I saw in a book in the treasury, and the method of use was also very simple, as long as the person using it held it in his hand and lit it.
With the talisman paper in my pocket, I felt much more at ease, and I felt that I was foolproof, so I went to the ghost inn alone.
It's not too far from our store, about 20 minutes on foot, all the way I was thinking, I must figure it out today, but when I got closer and closer, my heart became more and more hairy, without Liu Yu by my side, I always felt unsteady, but when I thought of him, I was more firm in my belief, you don't let me go, I want to go, without you Liu Yu I can't be a full Han banquet?
I walked outside the door, found a hidden place and lit the talisman I stole out, it is strange to say, this talisman is on fire, there is not even a little ash left, just after burning the talisman paper, I was dizzy, a stumbling sat on the ground, I quickly stood up and patted the soil off my body, jumped twice, felt dizzy, and stepped into the store.
On the side of the counter here is still the sign of "Do not approach the living", and the shopkeeper with exaggerated blush is still standing in the counter, and he still says: "Does the guest officer live in the hotel?" The tone was very eerie.
I swallowed, didn't dare to speak, and nodded. He lowered his head and flipped through the small book on the table, picked up the brush on the table, circled it, and said faintly: "The second floor is really an ancient pavilion." ”
I thought it was a pretty elegant name, and then he handed me a wooden sign, and I took it in my hand and saw that there were three big characters written on it: "Hideous Bone Pavilion"! In order not to be seen by him, I resisted the fear in my heart, took the sign and prepared to go upstairs.
I looked at this inn with my peripheral vision, there were three or two ghosts in the corner, but they didn't talk, and there was a ghost, wiping the table mechanically, I went up to the second floor, and found that the whole inn, although there were many "guests", it was quiet and abnormal, there was no ghost, making a little sound, I felt that my heart was beating very fast, I was afraid that they would hear my heartbeat, but fortunately they didn't care about me, my room was the penultimate room in it, I pushed the door open, there was only a bed and a table inside, For a while, I didn't know what to do next. There are quite a few ghosts here, and I've gone deep into the enemy's lair, but what's next?
Somehow, I thought of Liu Yu again, if he was at least someone I could discuss, and Liu Yu should know where to start, I began to regret coming here a little on the spur of the moment.
I sat on the edge of the bed, closed my eyes and began to recall what happened after I came in just now, I remember, there seemed to be something black on the wall, I don't know what it was, I quietly opened the door and looked into the corridor, sure enough, the wall of the corridor was also full of black things, I looked around, and found that there were no ghosts paying attention to me, so I walked in front of a large black thing, and touched it with my hand, it was a powdery thing, and before I had time to look closely, I found that several ghosts were walking towards me.
For a moment, I panicked, and quickly ran back to the house and closed the door, I don't know if it was a psychological effect or something, I felt more and more ghosts gathered at the door of my room, thinking: Did they find me?
I was too scared to catch my breath. Inadvertently I touched the talisman in my pocket, I quickly took out another one and lit it, the same as last time, there was no ash at all, after burning the talisman paper, I felt them slowly disperse, but I still didn't dare to go out, I looked out of the window, looked down again, thinking that it really didn't work so I jumped out of the window and ran.
After a while, I heard the sound of squirming outside the originally quiet door, but the sound was too small for me to hear clearly, the moon slowly emerged from behind the clouds, and when the moonlight came in, I realized that there was also that black thing on the wall in my room, and I vaguely felt that so many ghosts here might have something to do with this wall.
I opened the door and opened the door, and sure enough, there was no ghost, maybe I was just scaring myself, but now I only have one idea, which is to get out of here quickly, and wait until I get back to the store to think about it in the long run.
I comforted myself as I walked out, at first I didn't dare to go too fast, for fear of being seen, but as soon as I got down the stairs, I found the ghost standing at the counter, smiling at me, laughing and repeating the phrase "Don't get close ......to the living."
I'll just run my legs, I can't care so much! There were still two steps to go to the door, and the door suddenly closed! I was stunned for a second, I swore for a second, and then I tried to pull the doorknob, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open it, and the ghosts all around me came towards me.
I told myself in my heart, it's okay, ghosts can't cause physical attacks on people, they can't hurt me, and then try hard to push and pull the door, those ghosts slowly moved closer to me, as if to know, I have been wings and difficult to fly, deliberately tormenting my spirit, in the blink of an eye has more than a dozen ghosts leaning over, suddenly one of the ghosts, let out a terrible howl, quickly rushed over, biting my shoulder, I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder.
What the? How could they attack me directly? I tried to tell myself that it was an illusion, but the pain reminded me that it wasn't an illusion! I shouted loudly because of the pain, but it didn't work, more ghosts rushed towards me, I struggled to break free, the door couldn't get out, I thought of the window on the second floor just now, I had to run away from there now, I broke free from them, rushed to the second floor, more and more ghosts rushed towards me, maybe I activated my own small universe at that time, I pushed them away one by one, and rushed into the room where I had been on the second floor,
I locked the door casually, and I found that they didn't seem to be the same as the ghosts I usually saw, usually ghosts are not blocked by doors or walls, but they are not, unobstructed ghosts cannot cause direct harm to the human body, but they are not.
I was so frightened that I could clearly feel my hand shaking when I opened the window, and I finally opened it with great effort, and just as I stood on the windowsill and mustered up the courage to leap down, I landed smoothly, and I felt no pain anywhere but the dull pain in my shoulder that had just been bitten.
I quickly ran back in the direction of our shop, I felt that the lights on the side of the road were extremely dim, I looked behind me to make sure they were chasing me, but when I was about to look, I found another me lying outside the ghost inn......
What's going on? I had to turn back to see, when I was about to walk to me lying on the ground, a few ghosts suddenly appeared, holding me down, this time no matter how I broke free to no avail, I was twisted by them in the ghost inn, the person at the counter was still chanting the sentence "the living do not approach", I only then noticed the words written on the sign, is near, not in, that is to say, it means that the living do not approach! But my body is still lying on the ground outside? Am I alive or dead?
