Chapter 1 Jueshengmen
I don't know why, the security check in China is particularly strict during this period of time, and when I came back from the United States this time, I was asked to take off my belt, shoes and even the necklace on my body after passing through the security check.
The necklace has not been taken off for as long as I can remember, the chain is white gold, the pendant is a piece of jade, the style of jade is different from most jade, neither a bodhisattva nor a Buddha, but a child who closes his eyes like a sleeping child.
In the back of the queue waiting for the security check, and the urging eyes of the airport staff, I took a lot of effort to remove the necklace and put it in the basket with the computer to go through the security check.
The strange thing is that when I went to pick it up again, the computer was still there, but the necklace was gone!
I won't do it, not to mention how much this chain is worth, just after more than 20 years of companionship, this relationship is not ordinary.
And since I was a child, my parents have warned me that no matter what happens, you can't take off the necklace, which shows its preciousness.
……
I angrily reasoned with the flight crew, and even alarmed the person in charge of the airport to come and mediate in person.
However, to my surprise, in the pictures scanned by the security check, only the computer and the battery appeared, and there was no necklace!
Fortunately, the female security check who asked me to take off the necklace still had a conscience, and admitted to the person in charge that she did see me take off the necklace and put it in the basket, otherwise, I would really be speechless.
But where did the necklace go?
Could it be that there is something wrong with this machine?
This security channel has been closed because of this incident.
In the end, even the police were alarmed, and after some questioning, the necklace was still missing.
……
The person in charge of the airport left my phone number and promised to notify you as soon as there was a new situation.
……
With an inexplicable emotion, I returned home in a huff.
My parents are both researchers in special institutions, and as for what exactly the institution is, they didn't tell me, and they didn't let me ask, in short, I can't go home a few times a year, and I can't stay for two days every time I come back.
When I was a child, my family also hired a nanny Aunt Wang to take care of me all the time, and since I went to the United States to study, the nanny also quit, so today, I can only cook by myself with a tired mood.
The moment I opened the refrigerator, I looked at the various refrigerated fast foods in it, and made a wise decision.
Order food!
In this era when you can live a lifetime without going out, and all kinds of online games and mobile apps are rampant, I don't have the consciousness to be alone.
Although my parents are busy with work, there is never a shortage of pocket money in my pocket as compensation, of course, I am not a person who likes to waste money, and I also plan to stop spending my parents' money after graduating from college and stepping into society.
"Hmm...... Pasta without love... Mutton steamed buns! That's good stuff! Soup words...... Bull's eye stew! Have a try...... Dessert after dinner, two egg tarts, let's work! …… Wait a minute! Why do ramen shops sell egg tarts!? ”
……
The moment I placed the order, I suddenly felt a chill on the back of my neck, as if someone had blown a cool breath behind my ear......
"Ahh
I scurried like a frightened cat, and the hairs on my hands reflexively exploded.
I glanced back a few times, and there was nothing behind me, and there was no one there.
"What the hell ......"
I subconsciously looked at the window of the living room, the doors and windows of this Nima are closed, where is the wind coming in?
A very strong uneasiness appeared in my heart, looking around, everything was normal as far as the eye could see.
"Could it be...... Illusion!? ”
Uneasily, I checked the window again to confirm that it had been closed, and I couldn't help but wonder if it was because of my fatigue on the journey, which caused me to be nervous......
Although I comforted myself in this way, there was a kind of uneasiness that did not dissipate, but worsened a lot.
"Sister, hasn't there been anyone living in the house for too long, and something dirty has come in?"
Regarding those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, because of some of my own experiences, I believed in them when I was a child.
I took a few deep breaths, walked over to the bookshelf, pulled out a Buddhist scripture, and wrote it tightly in my hand first, regardless of whether it was useful or not.
……
Carefully inspected every corner of the house, not even in the bathroom cupboard.
I swear, if something jumps out at this time, it will definitely be a sutra and smash it, even if it is a solid thing, it will be enough for him to eat a pot of hard leather Buddhist scriptures......
Having said that, the Buddhist scriptures on this shelf are all mother's treasures, and if she knows that I use the scriptures like this, I'm afraid I will only have to drink porridge next month.
"Squeak......
I opened the glass door to the last balcony of the house, and I poked my head out a few times.
Except for a few potted plants, empty, everything works fine!
At this moment, the sun had already begun to set, and I put down the scripture book I was holding in my hand and reached out to wipe the sweat from my head.
The golden afterglow shone on my body, bringing me a hint of warmth, but in a trance, I felt that the sunset tonight was faintly ...... Glare.
……
In the blink of an eye, I didn't think much of it before I looked away.
It is said that the home should be absolutely safe, my second uncle is a feng shui master, the decoration of the home was designed by him himself, and he told me a lot of stories and taboos about feng shui since he was a child.
I was fascinated by these mystical things.
And my buddy's profession is painting and design, and these novelties always inspire my creations.
……
"Huh! The legendary jet lag syndrome ......"
I smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and was about to close the balcony door again, and looked up......
"Damn!! This Nima ...... This ......"
I took several steps back and went straight back to the balcony, my face bloodless!
In the afterglow of the setting sun, I saw that in the corner of the wall facing the master bedroom, there was an additional "cabinet" with a cold shape at some point.
……
I distinctly remember that I had just checked that place, and why didn't I see this thing at the time?
Where did this come from!?
After carefully looking at the object in front of him, he said that it was a cabinet, and it looked a little strange, because no matter the height or thickness, as well as the texture of the old wooden planks, this thing was more like a standing ...... Double-door ......
Coffin!
……
What made me even more frightened was that I could feel the slightest wisp of "coldness" leaking through the crack in the door of the "bookcase"!
……
"What the fuck is this!"
I've been very sensitive to some things since I was a child, and then something happened, and I can't remember the memory of that incident now, but after that, I had the jade pendant that I lost today.
When I came out of the airport before, I felt weird, I always felt that since I lost the jade pendant, something was not right, no matter what I did, it was awkward!
It wasn't until now, after seeing this coffin-like cabinet and the chill coming out of the cabinet, that I realized ......
Exercise! This is definitely not something that should be seen with the naked eye!
Could it be that the feng shui at home is broken, and no one lives in it for too long, and the yin qi accumulates too much, attracting this thing?
After feeling it so closely, I found that at this time, the cold air in the house was rampant and permeating everywhere, especially in this room, the temperature was several degrees lower than outside.
My whole brain was numb, and without hesitation, I ran to the door and turned on the light in my room.
The cabinet looked even more strange under the light, and I even noticed that in the gap between the wooden boards, there was some slag faintly, as if it had just been dug out of some grave.
It was a little difficult to breathe, and it was like a piece of ice slag was stuffed into my heart.
At this moment, there was a warm current in the palm of my right hand, and I was shocked and looked at the scriptures in my hand.
Thinking suddenly went back to a summer vacation more than ten years ago, when my second uncle took me out to "work" and went to a rich man's house to change feng shui and do things.
I remember my second uncle saying at that time that when the yin in the yang house accumulates into evil, you should channel the evil qi, regulate the feng shui, and then recite the "pure heart and freedom mantra" to eliminate the evil.
I don't know how to channel evil qi, and I don't know much about regulating feng shui.
It is said that there is no problem with the feng shui layout of my home, and in such a situation, the source of the disaster must be the bookcase in front of me, but let me get my hands on throwing this thing out, I definitely don't dare, and most of this thing can't be moved.
As for the scripture of the "Pure Heart Mantra", I don't know how to memorize it at all, but I remember that my second uncle once said to the rich man that it would work to keep reciting the Buddha's name and the Tao number......
Thinking of this, I sang the Buddha name loudly while fleeing back to the living room, and suddenly there was such a strange thing in the house, and the first thing I could think of was naturally my parents.
They're not going to have an accident!
I picked up my phone and called my mother, but no one answered on the other end of the phone, so I was so anxious that I opened the door and went downstairs.
I don't dare to stay at home with that unknown "cabinet" all the time.
Mom's phone can't get through, and Dad's phone shows that it's turned off.
I was so anxious that the sweat on my head kept pouring out.
That's right!
patted his head, it was really a beep dog, I have to find my second uncle for this!
I immediately found my second uncle's phone number in the address book and dialed it.
"Hey...... Troublemaker (my nickname when I was a child), have you returned home? ”
I could hear my second uncle's voice, and I was so excited that I was about to pee, so I immediately told my second uncle everything that happened today.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for about a few seconds, and the second uncle instructed in a serious tone: "Don't worry, your parents are fine, don't panic, do what I said, go back first, and open the door and window of the room......"
My face instantly became bitter: "Second uncle...... Or ...... If it's convenient...... Coming for a trip? ”
I asked tentatively.
"Stinky boy, such a little thing scares you, look at your little luck! …… Alas...... I can't leave now, and I won't be able to come back until tomorrow night at the earliest, listen to me, until then, you just do what I say, and you'll be fine......"
I didn't answer right away, with what I knew about my second uncle, his serious tone, I was afraid that this matter was not small.
As if sensing my reluctance, the second uncle compensated again: "Okay, stinky boy, let me tell you the truth, the things you are doing are not big, small, and really not small, you have to hesitate now, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for me to come back!" ”
I don't know why, when I heard this, my heart was steady, I am also cheap, you told me how safe it is, but I was up and down in my heart, but you told me how dangerous it was, then I really didn't believe that I couldn't stand it.
I turned my heart sideways: "Second uncle, you say, what do you want me to do?" ”
"Listen, this thing appeared in your house, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide, even if you turn around and run back to the United States now, it's useless."
"Second uncle, what the hell is this?"
"This is ......" The second uncle seemed to sigh on the other end of the phone: "This is ...... Jueshengmen. ”
