Chapter 279: Worship
I've seen too much of them. Immediately asked with a suspicious face, "Do you have something to hide from me?" ”
Xue Qian and Mr. Lu seemed to have discussed. Neither of them spoke, but shook their heads at the same time.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw their movements in a surprisingly consistent manner.
I said as sincerely as I could: "Let's go up the knife mountain together." Under the sea of fire. Desperately fighting, all the way through, it's a lifelong friendship, right? ”
They said in unison, "Yes, who dares to say that it is wrong? ”
I said, "Since our friendship is so good, you shouldn't hide it from me, right?" What happened to me? ”
Mr. Lu slapped his thigh: "Zhao Mang, what you said is too right." The three of us are lifelong friends, and we can't ignore something. ”
Xue Qian hurriedly accosted: "That's right." That's right. Then he put on a curious smile and stared at me: "Zhao Mang, tell me quickly, what happened to you?" ”
I was a little annoyed and said, "What are you two kidding?" Did I ask you, or did you ask me? ”
Mr. Lu said: "Naturally, we asked you. ”
Xue Qian also cheered beside her as a matter of course: "What happened to you, how do we know?" Of course, you know best. ”
I was speechless for a while, glared at them for two or three seconds, and then said helplessly: "Mr. Lu, you are a Taoist priest, you didn't see anything?" ”
Mr. Lu decisively denied: "I didn't see anything." Then he leaned in with me and said, "Have you noticed anything unusual lately?" ”
I knew that Mr. Lu and Xue Qian were wrong, but I still told them what I found during the day. Including small white flags, and paper money that has been burned into ashes and stacked up.
After Mr. Lu and Xue Qian listened, they glanced at each other again.
I said a little unhappily, "You two are still finished?" Even if you want to plot something, you don't have to be so obvious, right? ”
Mr. Lu smiled awkwardly and said, "Zhao Mang." I already understand your situation. Why don't you go to bed first? It's not early now. ”
I looked at him in amazement: "You let me go back to sleep?" ”
Mr. Lu began to pretend to be stupid: "Don't you want to go back?" You can sleep here. ”
I waved my hand: "Mr. Lu, let's not do this." It's not a question of where you sleep. I'm in trouble now, how are you going to get me back to sleep? Can I sleep? ”
Mr. Lu said helplessly: "Zhao Mang, you have to give me some time to study and study, you are really difficult to do." ”
I saw Mr. Lu talking and eye-to-eye with Xue Qian. The two of them didn't know what the ulterior plans were. I just wouldn't let me know.
I was annoyed in my heart, and said with a cold face, "Okay, I'll go back to sleep." ”
After I turned around and walked two steps, I heard Mr. Lu's muffled voice: "I'll look for you tomorrow." ”
I was a little disappointed and said, "Thank you." ”
On the way back, I naturally noticed the side of the road unnaturally. I noticed that there seemed to be a little more of those little white flags than during the day. Moreover, they still lead to the empty house.
When I walked near the empty house, I suddenly asked about the smell of smoke and coughed. As my voice rang out, a whirlwind suddenly blew in front of me. Immediately afterward, I saw four or five figures burst out of the room.
I was surprised and scared. I was stunned for two or three seconds, and then I remembered and shouted: "Who is it?" ”
However, those dark shadows had long since fled without a trace.
I stood on the main road, looking at the dim street lamps with some disbelief. Under the street lights just now, those figures flashed and disappeared, unimaginably fast. And they don't look like they're hiding anymore. It's as if it disappeared out of thin air.
I was nervous: "Is it really a ghost?" ”
I paced slowly to the door of the house and looked inside. There was no light inside, it was dark, but even by the street lights outside, I could see stacks of paper money piled up on the bed.
I looked around the corners, and there were still sporadic sparks coming out. It seems that the ritual of worshipping the four corners has not yet ended, and the contents have been scared away by me.
After ten minutes, I finally mustered up the courage to walk in. I fumbled around the table and found the box of matches. Then he lit the half-cut candle on the table.
One qiē was exactly what I expected. There was paper money piled up on the bed, and paper ashes piled up in the four corners.
When I saw this scene, my heart was terribly troubled. Then he let out a long sigh and slowly walked out of the room.
I sat on the steps of the road and hugged my knees like that. I sat until dawn.
The vegetable farmers broke through the morning mist and whistled by. One of the men even looked back at me, and it seemed as if I was walking around here every morning and he already knew me.
It was already dawn, and although there were a hundred reluctances in my heart, I still swept the paper ashes out of the bed.
I was sweaty and sweaty, so I rested in bed for a while and then started breakfast.
I thought that Mr. Lu would come over in the morning, but I didn't expect him to show up until lunch. In desperation, I had no choice but to wait. It wasn't until the red sun set in the west that I realized with some annoyance: "I was tricked by Mr. Lu." ”
If I had stayed before, I would have found Xue Qian's house in a rage. But not today, I think of the smiles of Mr. Lu and Xue Qian last night, and I feel uncomfortable. These two people clearly took me for a fool, and I finished talking about the strange things of the past few days worriedly, and Mr. Lu actually asked me to go back to sleep.
Shi can be killed, but not humiliated, I can't go to Xue Qian's house anymore.
I thought about it, turned around and went back to the empty house, then pulled out a piece of hemp rope and carefully tied my feet to the legs of the bed.
Didn't you say I was sleepwalking? I'm tying myself here, so nothing will happen.
Then, I fell asleep with a broadsword.
I felt like I just closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, it was dark again.
I let out a long sigh and muttered, "It's not weird. "Dumb handsome.
I shouted loudly and listened carefully. I should be in a room right now.
I sat in the darkness and muttered, "I should still be in the empty house." Looks like my rope is working. ”
I sat in the dark for a while, and suddenly I thought in a panic: "Every time I lose consciousness, I am in the empty house, and when I wake up, I am at Xue Qian's house." Could it be that I will only wake up when my body arrives at Xue Qian's house? If that's the case, wouldn't I be awake today? ”
Thinking of this, my head began to sweat. Suddenly, I felt a huge thing approaching me.
My eyes couldn't see anything, but it was a real feeling. I stood up in a panic and ran forward with all my might. But it didn't work at all. I feel like it's always behind me. And it's slowly approaching.
After a few seconds, it grabbed me. I shouted loudly, but to no avail. It started dragging me. I felt like my body was hitting some barrier.
I reached out and touched it backwards, like a wall. The thing behind him was not polite, and he pulled me back hard.
I felt like my body was sinking into the wall a little bit. Then, with a muffled sound, I felt like I had passed through the barrier.
My sight has recovered, and so has my hearing. The whole person became light and comfortable.
I looked back to see what had just grabbed me. What I saw, however, was a hand.
Mr. Lu was smiling and stretching out a hand and grabbing my collar.
I glared, looked at him in surprise, and then wanted to ask him why he had come.
However, Mr. Lu made a gesture: Don't speak.
He gestured around. Only then did I see that I was still standing in the empty house. There were a lot of busy figures next to them, their faces were pale, their bodies were full of life, and they were obviously not alive.
These imps are all on their knees, burning paper incessantly. They were kneeling down to a man. And this man was lowering his head, carefully untying the rope on his leg.
I looked at him dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a moment.
And Mr. Lu leaned into my ear and whispered, "You are a soul now, and what you see now is your own body." ”
