Chapter 6 Ji's Father's Banquet Talks about the Ghost Mansion Dreaming for money and wealth is spiritual
After walking all the way for a long time, when it was about to get dark, I finally arrived at the city where Ji Rongrong lived - Qiqi City.
It's the first time I've seen the city, it's very prosperous, the traffic is endless, there are buildings everywhere, the more you drive into the city, the more buildings you have, the higher you get, except for the novelty, there is only a very depressing feeling, there is no ethereal and comfortable feeling on the mountain.
There were a lot of people on the street, each of them in a hurry, as if chasing something, and the expression on his face was also very stiff, missing the simple and happy smile that should have been.
The city was very bright, full of lights, lights of all colors, very colorful, but there was no trace of fireworks.
When I was on the mountain, only I and the master guarded the Taoist temple, few people came, every time someone came, the master would go down the mountain, then I was the only one left on the mountain, I would feel bored, I would miss the fireworks of the red dust, I felt very kind, now I really came back but there was no imaginary excitement and cordiality, some just felt a lonely heart, everything was so strange, there was a feeling of vicissitudes of time, the past was like a cloud, and I couldn't help but sigh.
Ji Rongrong glanced at me and asked me what was wrong, I said that time has passed, and now that I have come back, it is no longer the world I am familiar with.
She said that I was so old-fashioned, I must have been used to being clean in the mountains, and I was not used to it for a while, and it was okay slowly, I laughed, shook my head and said maybe.
Following the traffic flow, walking and stopping in the bright lights, our car slowly turned into a slightly antique street, the street is not wide, and the street lights are sporadically separated and seem a little dim, but there is no sense of oppression.
The two sides are no longer sheltering the sky, the courtyard of the bungalow is connected, the bricks and tiles are new, I want to build it for a long time, the lights of the car shine on the granite pavement, and it has been driven to the depths before stopping, Ji Rongrong and I got out of the car, in front of a house Ji Rongrong pressed a few times on a machine by the door, and then said a few words, and after a while, the door was opened from the inside, and an aunt in her fifties came out and said kindly: "Xiao Rong is back." ”
"Well, what about my father?" Ji Rongrong asked as she led me inside.
"I'm reading in the study." My aunt locked the door and followed us.
"Mother Wang, this is my friend, you take him to the living room for a meeting first." After Ji Rongrong finished instructing Wang's mother, she said to me again: "Brother, you go have a cup of tea first, and I will come to you in a while." ”
I answered, followed Wang Ma to the living room, and looked at the small courtyard on the way.
The yard is not very big, but it is very elegant, it is the pattern of the old-fashioned courtyard, there are lights under each eaves, there is a rain cellar under the wall at the door, there is a very large ceramic fish tank in the center of the yard, there are a few koi fish in it, there is an apricot tree on both sides of the main house steps, the leaves are not very luxuriant, it should be moved back. There is a row of flower stands in front of the east and west houses, and pots of flowers are placed on the shelves, which are growing very well, and the rainwater stored in the rain cellar should be used for daily watering.
Entering the living room, Wang Ma brought a cup of tea, the taste was a little astringent, not as good as the master's tea. Sitting still, looking around the situation in the customer hall, I saw a word hanging on the wall, and it was a lovesick poem when I looked closely: ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable. Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation. Even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost. At night, I suddenly returned to my hometown, and I was dressing up in the small window. There are no words for each other, only a thousand tears. It is expected that the intestines will be broken every year, the bright moon night, and the short Matsuoka. - "Jiang Chengzi"
A good poem with a good artistic conception is infectious to people's emotions, and I don't know who the lyricist is thinking, the writing is so desolate, I can't help but think of my family after a long absence, and someone behind me smiled and asked: "Hahaha, the little Taoist is also a person who understands words?" ”
Looking back, it was Ji Rongrong and a slightly fat old man who entered the living room, I got up and made a joke: "Xiaodao has read a few miscellaneous books in the mountains, but he is not good at it, if the class gets an axe, it is a joke, just touched by the artistic conception of this word, evoking some homesickness, I don't know who made this word, could it be the old man's handwriting?" ”
The old man laughed and said: "This is a poem by Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, you are holding me high, please sit, please sit." ”
"Sit down, my dad is an old money fan, I don't know what poetry and songs, this is what my grandfather left, his old man understands, but unfortunately he is no longer alive, you just want to be elegant and have no place to find it." Ji Rongrong sat next to me and said.
"Rong Rong, why do you always expose your father's shortcomings, just discuss it, it doesn't need to be elegant." Father Ji first expressed his dissatisfaction to Ji Rongrong with resentment, and then said to me: "Thank you Xiaodao Chang for saving the little girl's life, this girl is always worry-free." ”
"The old gentleman doesn't need to be polite, it will be fate when he meets him, not to mention that it is also the duty of the Taoist to help the world and save people." I said politely.
"Xiaodao Chang Gaoyi, I heard Rong Rong say that Xiaodao Chang has been practicing in the mountains with his master, I don't know which immortal mountain it is in, and which immortal master is the master?" Father Ji asked again.
"The trail is practiced in the Yinping Mountain, and the master's road number is five grains, and the old gentleman of the mountains and wilderness may not know." I replied respectfully.
"Yin Ping Mountain? I haven't heard of it, so I don't know if I can invite Master Ling Zun down the mountain. Father Ji asked with a deep groan.
"Master, his old man went to the immortal a few days ago, I don't know what happened to the old gentleman inviting my master?" I asked with a somewhat ugly face, after all, people die in great sorrow, and I still feel a little sad in my heart.
"I didn't expect that the Lingshi had passed away, I'm really sorry, Rong Rong has already told me about the things on the mountain, I know that the little Taoist is a capable person, I can't hide it, I have been troubled by a ghost-related thing for a long time, for this matter, I invited a lot of so-called masters, but unfortunately none of them have real skills, and they fooled around when they took the money to do some magic things, so they suddenly wanted to ask the Lingshi to go down the mountain." Father Ji said disappointedly.
"Oh, I see, but it's a pity that the old man can't solve your problem anymore." People will be very anxious after encountering these ghosts, and I will not complain about anything because of an unintentional word, the experience on the wild grave slope is still vivid, and I have no intention of mixing this matter.
"I don't know if the little Taoist chief is willing to help solve this matter." Father Ji looked at me with hope.
"Xiaodao has only learned a little bit of skin, but I'm afraid that if I don't learn the arts, I won't be able to catch ghosts, and it's not good to cause some trouble for you." I politely refused Ji's father's request for help.
As soon as Father Ji heard that I had the intention of prevarication, he immediately said: "The little Taoist must help me, I have no choice but to do this kind of thing, you can rest assured that I will never treat you badly, no matter whether the thing is successful or not, I will thank you again." ”
This is a point to my weakness, the bag was lost on the mountain, now I am penniless, I don't even have a change of clothes, we don't want to do a penny of heroes, not to mention that I have to buy some things for my parents, I can't go back empty-handed, the master also said, there is no money to spend can properly help people solve some difficulties, make some good money, I thought about it for a while, I think about it, I think it depends on the situation, so I said to Ji's father: "Since the old gentleman can trust the trail, then give it a try, It's just that I don't know if this ghost is so powerful, whether anyone has ever died, and I ask the old gentleman to talk about it in detail. ”
"People have never died, it is a lot of noise, just behind my house, there is an old house across the wall, because it is close, I bought it, I want to renovate it, open up the front and back yards, but who knows that this house is not clean, as long as the construction will have an accident, every night out to make a noise, a few guards and vigils are also scared sick, and now it has been deserted." Father Ji gave a concise introduction.
"Old mansion? How many years have it been? I'd like to check it out now. "It's normal for something strange to happen when things get old, it's usually some old house owners who are nostalgic and refuse to leave, and generally communicate, if you have any wishes to help him solve it, forget it, it's not too troublesome.
"It's been a few years, it's almost become a cultural relic, it's still early, it's not time to make a fuss, let Rong Rong accompany you to take a look, I'll arrange dinner, will the Taoist eat meat?" If we can drink, we will have a few drinks in the evening. Father Ji said happily.
"Don't avoid meat, the amount of alcohol is not high, you can drink a little less, I'm sorry for you." As soon as I finished speaking, I was pulled out by Ji Rongrong.
"I don't see it, you're still a wine and meat monk." Out of the house, Ji Rongrong teased.
This is a matter of Taoism, not something that can be joked about casually, I said to her seriously: "First, I am not a monk, and second, cereals and flesh and blood are all derived from life, there is no difference, why can't you eat it, not to mention that different schools and taboos are not the same." ”
"Yo, I'm still angry, just kidding, don't be so serious." Ji Rongrong looked defeated, took a folding ladder from the utility room, led me to a narrow wall on the right side of the main room, set up the ladder and said to me: "Climb over this wall, you go first, and I will follow." ”
I shrugged my shoulders and said it didn't matter, although there were ghosts at this point, it was estimated that she was still somewhat stunned, but it was hard enough, and I had to climb over the wall to go to my yard, I asked while climbing up: "Why don't you open a door, I have to climb over the wall in the past, and it looks like a thief." ”
"Nonsense, you think you haven't opened it? It came around and scared me all night, and the next day it was quickly sealed. Ji Rongrong patted her bulging chest and exhaled.
"It's all right to seal it?" With that, I had already jumped into the yard behind.
Ji Rongrong climbed on the wall and said, "Yes, it's okay to seal it." ”
It's a very strange thing, it stands to reason that it's hard to get out of being targeted by ghosts, this is a trivial matter, a wall will solve the problem, to say that this Ji Rongrong is really bold enough, a girl's family, the black light dares to take me to the ghost house, and I can't help asking: "Then you dare to follow up?" ”
Gently patting the corner of her dusty pants, Ji Rongrong raised her head and said with a smile: "Isn't this you, see how much my sister trusts you." ”
Hey~, how long have we known each other, will you trust me? There was no electricity in the old house, so we couldn't turn on the lights, so Ji Rongrong and I walked around the yard with flashlights.
Some years have not been inhabited, the old house is a little dilapidated, artemisia grass grows on the ground, some construction materials are stacked messily, there is a landscape pool in the middle of the yard, there is a rockery standing in it, there are traces of water washing on the rockery, it seems that it should have been through the flowing water, but now it has stopped.
The house is very old, standing in front of the door you can feel the breath of the years, there are a few large urns for receiving water under the eaves, and the glass of the window is covered with a layer of gray floating earth, and the flashlight shines on it and you can't see the situation in the house at all.
Squeak~, I stretched out my hand and pushed open the door of the main room, the furnishings inside are basically there, there is a long table in the middle of the hall, two chairs, touched it with my hand on the table, stained with a thin layer of soil, and it has been cleaned, but the time is not short.
The atmosphere here is very good, the vicissitudes of life feel a little like the feeling of being in the void, there is a door open on the two walls of the hall, leading to the left and right rooms, the one on the left is the study, go in and take a look, in addition to a desk and a chair, there is also a row of empty bookshelves.
On the right is the bedroom, which contains a wooden bed and a table covered with luggage, and a extinguished candle on the table, presumably left by a former watchman.
After turning around and finding nothing, Ji Rongrong kept following me closely, seeing that I was almost spinning, she took my arm and whispered: "After reading it, go back quickly, the black paint is not weird and scary, and there are still those who don't understand, come back when it is dawn." ”
Anyway, I saw almost it, I nodded and agreed, came out of the house, closed the door, I asked her to take me to carry the ladder, this kind of rough work is still our men to do, always let a girl do this kind of thing, strange embarrassment, but she told me that there is no ladder here, go back to go around, isn't it okay to find trouble? I glanced at her, pulled up the robe and pinned it to my waist, ran a few steps, stepped on the wall, pressed my hands on the wall, turned over and stood on the wall, waved goodbye to Ji Rongrong, who looked sluggish below, and said, "Well, I climbed on this wall quite smoothly, you, go back by yourself." ”
Ji Rongrong gritted her teeth and stomped her feet angrily below, scolding me for having no conscience, I bared my teeth and jumped into Ji's house, I heard a scream on the other side of the wall, followed by the sound of running fast, and then there was a "pop" sound of slamming the door.
Hehe, let you say that I am a wine and meat monk, on the first day of the new year, on the fifteenth day, we took turns to sit in the village, sat in the house and waited for a long time before seeing Ji Rongrong come back, as soon as I entered the house and saw that I was drinking tea there calmly, I yelled angrily, and ran directly over to scratch on me for a while, and I almost took a bite, hey! What kind of anger do you fight with women, in the end, you still suffer your own losses.
After sitting for a while, Wang Ma came in and called us to eat, a very rich dinner, chicken, duck and fish, green vegetables and vegetarian food are delicious, but unfortunately I don't know a single dish.
Ji Rongrong kept adding food to me, afraid that I would be cramped and hungry at night, Ji's father was very enthusiastic, and drank three glasses with me as soon as he came up, and asked me how the wine was with a smile, I smacked my lips and said, it is not as good as my master's wine.
I also blame me for being too real, Ji's father was very embarrassed by one sentence, but he put Ji Rongrong on the table with a happy smile, and said to me: "This wine is precious, he is usually reluctant to drink it, but you are telling the truth, hahaha~~~" Father Ji glared at Ji Rongrong and asked me, what kind of wine does my master drink, and where can I buy it.
Who knows what kind of wine it is, the master never said, but every time he went down the mountain, he brought a jar back, I told Ji's father truthfully, he waved his hand and said it was okay, and asked me how the food tasted? I said that it was delicious, and I couldn't eat such a delicacy in the mountains, but Ji's father was very happy and said that he made these things, and he would eat more if he liked them.
The harmonious atmosphere makes people appetizing, chatting about some family things while eating, and also let me have a little understanding of the Ji family, Ji Rongrong's mother died relatively early, so many years have been spent by father and daughter together, Ji's father is in business, in the early years, he fought the world from scratch, and now he runs a pharmaceutical research and development company, which can be regarded as a success, but now that he is older, he doesn't want to continue to work hard, and the business is handed over to his subordinates to take care of, and his biggest wish is to find a good son-in-law to take over as soon as possible, so that he can retire with peace of mind, Enjoy your old age.
After dinner, Ji's father invited me back to the living room, made a pot of fragrant tea, cut the chat to the point, and asked me if I went to the old house to see anything, I said that I just took a general look and didn't find anything, but I like it very much, and I can stay there tonight, so I can further explore the situation.
Father Ji said with some embarrassment: "That house has not been lived in for a long time, it is a little dirty, and the electricity is not working, besides, you have no preparations, is it too hasty to live in it directly, it is better to be careful, it is better to be like this, you go and check it carefully tomorrow, in case you find anything, you can make some preparations, I will also send someone to turn on the electricity and clean up the room." ”
I smiled and said no, just give me a clean futon. Father Ji persuaded me again, and when I saw that I had already decided, I didn't say anything anymore. After chatting for a while, they dispersed.
Ji Rongrong fetched me a futon but didn't leave, she kept following me, I asked her what she wanted to do, she said she wanted to see how I climbed over the wall with a lot of things, whether I would fall off the wall and die, and it would be good to give first aid when the time came.
Why are women's hearts so small? I rolled my eyes and ignored her, and when I came to the wall, I shook off the futon and dusted it directly on the wall, and then climbed onto the wall in a few steps, Ji Rongrong pouted and said it was boring, and turned back.
Holding the futon and jumping into the old house from the wall, the moonlight was not very bright, the yard was black, I held the flashlight, carefully passed through the construction materials piled up on the ground, opened the door with my back, and went directly into the bedroom with my thing, and after lighting the candles on the table on the table, I began to clean the room, in fact, it was not any cleaning, that is, I took off the original luggage on the bed as a rag, wiped the table, wiped the bed, and was too lazy to care on the ground, laid out the bedding, pressed the penis ruler under the pillow and slept with clothes.
Sleep is the way of self-cultivation, a full sleep, healthy and hearty, insufficient is not smooth, the spirit is not good, but unfortunately today this place is indeed not a suitable place to sleep, at more than two o'clock in the night, vaguely feel that there is something around me in the activity, I opened my eyes in a daze, hazy to see a white shadow in the dark room from my side flashed away, I was shocked, hurriedly reached out from under the pillow to find out the probe ruler, and then looked at it has disappeared.
I felt a match on the table and struck a candle to light it, but I saw that there was only a puddle of wax oil left on the table, and it turned out that I forgot to extinguish the candle when I was sleeping, and it had burned out at this time.
I was about to look at it by the faint light of the match, but my hand was hot, and the match had burned to the root, so I quickly threw the match out of my hand, took out a spiritual talisman from my arms, and ignited the yellow talisman with a shaking hand, and there was a light in the room.
There was nothing in the room except the table and the bed, I threw away the rune paper in my hand and lay back on the bed, but my heart was vigilant, I saw the white shadow just now very clearly, it shouldn't be that I was dazzled, but why the aura flow in this room has not changed at all, when the ghost appears, the aura of the yin attribute should become very strong, if it is a ghost, it will also evolve into yin, and now the aura is calm like water, which is very strange.
According to my master's words, the avenue is in heaven and earth, in all things, in one's own body, and in all things. That is to say, the aura is derived between heaven and earth, all things have aura, and can also absorb the free aura in heaven and earth, the so-called cultivation is to guide the aura between heaven and earth into their own body, in order to increase their own aura, when their aura increases to a certain extent, it can slightly affect some things.
It is said that there are some monks who can use their own aura to change the essence of things, such as the legendary stone into gold, and what I can do is to use my own aura to rub with the aura floating in the air, so that its temperature instantly rises and ignites the spirit rune, so that the talisman burns, the master said that this is not much mysterious thing, in fact, it is almost the same thing as qigong, it is the same thing, used to bluff people.
According to the record in the book, this talisman is used to illuminate the spirit, such as ghosts, it is for people who do not have yin eyes, as for the spirit is not clear, and the yin eye, yin and yang eyes, and the heavenly eye are very different, according to the classification of our Taoist priests, the yin eye is generally born, and one or two may be born in the crowd with a very small probability, which is very limited, of course, there are also accidental gains, which is even rarer.
Yin and Yang Eye is said to be when a person's cultivation reaches a certain level, through some foreign objects can be opened for a short time, although the application is convenient but the side effects are also very large, like the rumored people who open Yin and Yang 24 hours a day basically can't live for three days, heaven and earth are fair, get something that does not belong to you, you have to pay the price accordingly, but this thing my master has not handed over to me, I will not, he said that it is okay to deceive ordinary people, we don't need to fool ourselves.
The last is the eye of heaven, this is more high-end, looking at all things, glimpsing the way of heaven, not only to be very high, but also to see the chance, according to the master said that anyone who opens the eye of heaven is enough to open a sect and establish a sect, as a patriarch.
In addition to the above three, there is also a kind of spiritual eye, which is mostly seen in children, which is very unstable, not always visible, and will slowly disappear as they get older, which is why sometimes children say that they see someone, but adults can't see it.
Today, in a hurry, I ignited the spirit rune, one is lighting, the other is to test it, the talisman is really useful for ghosts, just use it as a match, but every time you need aura to trigger, you can't play more, play too much hurts your body, and the taste of excessive aura consumption is like having a bad cold, sore all over, weak and weak.
Waiting is a tedious thing, waiting for a long time will relax the spirit, an hour later my eyes began to dry and drowsy, at this moment a bloody stubble grimace appeared in front of my eyes, my cold hair all over my body like a little electricity all stood up, waved the probe ruler in his hand and hit it.
There was no sound, the grimace collapsed like smoke, it turned out to be an illusion, I was frightened by this, I was completely sleepless, my eyes widened and looked at everything in the room, suddenly the probe yin ruler shook a little, and then a pair of white ghost claws came in from the window, straight to my throat.
Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, I raised my right hand, and the yin ruler quickly collided with the ghost claw, and the left took advantage of the situation and pasted a spirit search talisman that had been prepared on it, and I heard a snort, the ghost claw seemed to be scalded by a red-hot soldering iron, escaping a wisp of black smoke, and shrank rapidly towards the window.
I didn't move, I carried the probe ruler and said to the black shadow outside the window: "It's too hurtful and angry to fight back and forth, why don't you come in and talk, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, I will help you finish it." ”
Silent, the black shadow stood outside the window without saying a word, just standing quietly, time passed minute by minute in the confrontation, such a stalemate was meaningless to solve the problem, I had to speak again: "Since you are embarrassed to come in, then I will go out and talk to you, you wait, don't go." ”
In fact, now I also have confidence, the master said that the really powerful things will not play this set of virtual things with you, but will only make you feel what death is, and the black shadow in front of me is either not good enough, or it is just scaring people, and it is not really trying to kill people.
As soon as I got out of the main door, I began to regret my impulsive behavior, the yard was white and full of thick fog, I couldn't see whether there was anyone on the other side, but I couldn't just go back when I came out, things always had to be solved, I said in the direction of the window, in a voice as majestic as possible: "Yin and Yang are orderly, since you have become a dead ghost, why don't you enjoy the yin blessings in the yin house, but run to occupy someone's yang house, and persuade you to leave early, so as not to end up in a scattered end." ”
There was another silence, and I didn't get a hint of response, I wondered if I had met a dumb ghost, and after waiting for a while and still didn't respond, I was about to turn around and go back to the house, when the fog in front of me suddenly changed, and after a while, an old man came out of the fog, dressed like a scholar.
Finally came out, since it came on behalf of some talk, I sorted out the sentence and said: "People are humane, ghosts have ghost roads, I don't embarrass you, go to the underworld to report quickly, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can say it, I will try to help you solve it, if you insist on harming the world, the poor road has to eliminate harm for the people." ”
The old scholar didn't speak, smiled gently, beckoned to me and turned around and walked back, the fog on both sides rolled to make way for him, I looked at his back and was a little confused, what does this mean, let me go with him? Isn't it silly for me to follow up like this?
Maybe I found that I didn't keep up, the old scholar turned around and beckoned to me again, still with that gentle smile on his face, I hesitated for a while, and finally decided to follow him, this is at least the beginning of an exchange, and no one who came to Ji's father Qing had ever had an accident before, so it should not be life-threatening.
Follow the old scholar all the way to the rockery in the middle of the yard, the old scholar suddenly disappeared in place, the surrounding fog also began to surge violently, the open road was also re-blocked by the fog, everywhere was white, nothing could be distinguished, I held the probe ruler vigilantly looked around, step by step back, want to return to the room.
I didn't take a few steps, I felt weak, a feeling of drowsiness rushed to my mind, soon I fell to the ground, closed my eyes, and when I opened my eyes again, the sky was already bright, I was standing in the middle of the yard, the rockery next to me trickled with clear water, a few small fish in the pool below were swimming happily, there was no messy pile on the ground, the door was open, a burst of noisy sound poured into my ears, I followed my eyes, only to see a person standing on the steps outside the door, wearing a blue satin coat, As I walked towards the door, I looked at the man curiously, and it was clear that this was not what a modern person was wearing.
Eleven streets paved with blue bricks outside the door, there is a shed on the side of the door, under the shed is a simple pot stove, a pot full of rice porridge is boiling in a big iron pot, a fat aunt dressed as a cook is scooping rice porridge for the ragged victims in front of the shed, these victims are not wearing modern clothes, and then look at the person standing at the door, about forty, combing his hair, with a pair of round black-framed eyes, and a beard under his nose, quite a bit of culture, his eyes are full of pity looking at the victims queuing up to receive porridge, There was a constant sigh in his mouth, and then a little girl of five or six years old ran out of the yard.
The girl was very cute, pink, her eyes were big and beautiful, she hugged the man's leg with a smile, and called out sweetly: "Dad, Wen'er is here to help you, Wen'er is very well-behaved." ”
"Wen'er is so good, but Wen'er hasn't grown up, and when she grows up, she will definitely be a good helper for her father, now let's go back to your mother to play together." The man lovingly took the girl's hand and turned back to the courtyard, and I looked up at the courtyard gate, which said "Bao Fu".
Republic? It should be just an illusion, I thought to myself, walked a few steps to the porridge shed, and said to the fat aunt who put the porridge: "Xiaodao is a little thirsty from afar, can this aunt give a bowl of soup." ”
I waited for a while, and saw that the fat cook was indifferent, as if she couldn't hear my words at all, and still took care of the porridge and rice for the victims, I reached out and patted her shoulder gently, and the palm of my hand passed through the fat cook's body like nothingness, and it was all illusory, they couldn't hear me, and they couldn't see me.
So what did the old man dressed as a scholar want to do when he brought me to this environment, thinking about it, he touched his back, but the back was empty, and he didn't know where to go, I was stunned for a moment, this old man had a lot of ability, and he actually got the probe ruler away unconsciously, and turned his head and walked to the courtyard, ready to go back to find it.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the old scholar standing in the courtyard with a smile and waving to me, signaling me to go in.
There is no lamp in the yard, only the breeze blows gently, from the position where the moon hangs, it is late at night, this is like acting in a movie, I can't touch the doorway at all, I went to the door again and wanted to go out, but the door has been plugged in, how to get it can't be opened, I can only stand in the doorway, carefully observe the surroundings, suddenly the originally quiet yard, the aura began to gather in a state visible to the naked eye, this state lasted for a long time, I was also nervous for a long time, when the aura was calm, A little boy wearing a red belly pocket appeared in the courtyard.
The little boy stood in the yard for a while in confusion, as if he understood something, laughed happily, ran around the east side of the yard, looked at the west side, I just watched this child come out of the sunset every day, the moon set and hidden, like a fast-forward movie, as time went by, the smile on the little boy's face became less and less, until loneliness hung all over his little face.
He, like me, is not seen, and he can't run out of this square yard, so he can only silently guard the house and the Zhang family from the invasion of evil, and now I have understood a little, this little boy wearing a red belly pocket is the spirit of the house born in this house.
The house spirit is also a rarity in the world, but the house of the good has been favored by the heavens to have a slight chance of giving birth to the house spirit, this Bao family is also a blessing, I have now let down all the guards in my heart, quietly watching the development of things, because the house spirit is born of good, so he will not do evil at all.
The newborn house spirit is no different from a child, and the nature is the age of playfulness, but as a house spirit, loneliness is destined to accompany his growth, it needs a partner, a partner who can communicate, and can play.
When a person is desperate, God will always quietly open a window, and then quietly close, the time turned to a bright afternoon, the small house spirit stood alone in the yard, Bao Wen'er ran out of the house with a smile, four or five years old is the time when the spiritual eye is not closed, I happened to see the house spirit, and soon the two children played together, they laughed happily, ran, and made trouble.
The house spirit came into contact with a playmate for the first time, it was very happy, and the cold color on his face was dissolved into a smile, he thought that he would no longer be alone, but unfortunately the spirit eye was not stable, occasionally opened, but could not let the happiness continue, the house spirit itself was tormented, it couldn't stand the feeling that it was standing in front of her, but was ignored by the other party, and finally it thought of a way, every night when the child fell asleep, it would sneak into Bao Wen'er's dream, play with her in the dream, be happy with her, be happy with her, be happy with her, Bao Wen'er also gave the house spirit a name, called the night spirit.
This beautiful dream is ten years, I thought this dream would go on like this, but there is no good fate in troubled times, suddenly one day a few cannons disrupted the peace of life, the Japanese army came to the city, the Bao family had to flee with their families, in that night the night spirit and Bao Wen'er saw each other in a dream for the last time, he told Bao Wen'er that he would always guard the old house and wait for her to come back, Bao Wen'er also cried and told the night spirit that he would come back here.
It's a pity that the years have changed, this is nearly a hundred years, Bao Wen'er never came back, leaving only the night spirit alone to guard the old house, he still believes that one day the girl will come back, anyone who dares to come to the old house to pay attention, whether it is the Japanese back then, or high-ranking officials and wealthy people, ordinary people, he has all tried to scare them away, and has been waiting until today.
After reading these, I only had a sigh left in my heart, and if this is also rare in the world, when all the pictures in front of me disappeared, restored to the fallen courtyard, the night spirit appeared in front of me again, still that kind smile, but the face seemed to be a little more embarrassed.
"I sympathize with your story, but this can't be a reason for me to let you go, this house is no longer Bao Mansion, it has been empty for so many years, I think you are also the end of the crossbow, and it won't be long before it will dissipate on its own." I kindly advised.
Night Spirit let out a long sigh and finally spoke: "After so many years, Wen'er is long gone, I just want to wait here for her soul to come back, until the day I disappear." ”
I shook my head and said again: "Why be so persistent, you come with me, I promise you to do your best to find Bao Wen'er, even if she dies, I can bury you by her side, so that you can accompany her forever, it is better than waiting for you to die here." ”
Night Spirit looked at me suspiciously and said, "Can you really help me find Wen'er?" ”
"I only promised to help you find it, the world is so big, even if you stand by your side without fate, you will pass by, so you decide for yourself whether you want to go with me, even if you don't go with me, I will find a way to get you out of this yard, think about it and give me an answer." I turned and sat down on the steps of the main room, waiting for the Nemegranite to answer.
"Let everything go with your fate, anyway, there are not many days left, little Taoist, I'm waiting for you to dig me out." The night spirit smiled heartily and disappeared into the courtyard.
"Hey, wake up, wake up." In the fog, I heard someone shouting to me, I slowly opened my eyes, and saw the two nervous faces of the Ji family's father and daughter, I shook my head vigorously and got up from the ground.
The father and daughter of the Ji family were also relieved to see that I was awake, and Ji's father said with concern: "It's okay, I didn't sleep all night last night, I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I ran over early in the morning, but I didn't expect something to happen." ”
Listening to these words of concern, and then looking at Uncle Ji's bloodshot eyes, I was a little moved, except for my parents and master It was the first time that I was cared about by others, I smiled and said that it was okay, I just had a psychic dream, and when I returned to Ji Zhai, I told the whole story in detail.
After hearing this, Ji Rongrong said happily: "So let's just dig out this house spirit, my sister really didn't mistake you, this ability is much stronger than those masters." ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you dig it out, but this yard is not big, but it is not small, and I have to dig it until the year to find out." ”
"It's a trivial matter, I'll just find some people." Father Ji laughed and said:
"Xiaodao Chang still wears vulgar clothes, I see that the clothes on your body are really..., it's a bit too plain."
Father Ji's words are too subtle, I don't know what kind of image I am now, so I just nodded and said bluntly, I haven't officially taken refuge yet, and the master said that my Dao fate has not yet arrived, just let me take refuge by myself when the time comes. Father Ji then said Since this is the case, I will not call you Dao Chief in the future, and call you Xiaosheng directly, you don't want to be an old gentleman, call me Uncle Ji, so obviously kind, do you think it's okay? I said yes, as if I was at home, I didn't stick to the form, and I just shouted Uncle Ji hello.
"Okay, how kind is this called, the excavation workers only arrived in the afternoon, Rong Rong finished breakfast, you took Xiaosheng to buy some clothes and came back to change this robe." Father Ji said happily.
Ji Rongrong agreed and said to me: "My father has no son, so it's cheap for you." ”
What does this have to do with whether there is a son or not, I didn't answer her words, and said to Uncle Ji embarrassedly: "I can't take your things for nothing, and the money will be deducted from my remuneration." ”
Father Ji got up and patted me on the shoulder and said, "If you can't spend a few dollars, you can have a good time in the city by the way." With that, he got up and walked out of the room by himself.
Ji Rongrong looked at me and laughed all the time, and the smile made people a little hairy, I asked her what she was laughing at? She said that she almost lost her life in the mountains, and she survived with a great fortune, and she must buy it today to be cool, and she was shocked, but I don't think she means that.
