Chapter Thirty-Six: Nightmares
"Who is she? Why would you be afraid of fish? I interrupted Fang Zhong's serious narration again. It was almost past hour, and the wick of the kerosene lamp had been burning for too long, and it was a little sluggish, so I picked it with my needle and continued to sit down around the table.
After a pause, Fang Zhong said to us, "Haven't you always wanted to know what the 'incident' I was talking about, and I'll tell you now." ”
"Wait, aren't you going to tell you about your past after talking about the strange things that happened in the last few days?" What I care about now is the real cause of Erhu's death, Fang Zhong has been talking endlessly for so long, but he seems to have been hanging people's appetites, listening to it for so long, I feel as if I have fallen into his carefully designed trap, why can't I get out! The more mysterious he became, the more I wanted to keep listening.
Fang Zhong didn't seem to be sleepy at all, he handed Master another cigarette and said to the two of us, "Since that night, that dream has often echoed in my head, I have the same dream almost every night, I am about to collapse!"
"The same dream?" Master asked, taking a puff of his cigarette.
"Yes, the same scene, the same dream, she's back to us!" Fang Zhong actually became a little more excited. As soon as I heard this, I thought it was unusual, and they all said that they would not do bad things, and they were not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and a nightmare scared him like this, he must have done bad things.
Master said that he was in a hurry and wanted to go to make it easier, but he also said that he was afraid of the dark and insisted that I go with him. I smiled bitterly, knowing that Master had something to tell me, you are a Taoist priest who hunts ghosts, you will be afraid of the dark!
Sure enough, Master pulled me out of the compound of Fang Zhong's house, and then Master asked me in a low voice, "Do you feel a Yin Qi around here?"
I shook my head, I didn't know why Master asked that, but I didn't feel it anyway. The master didn't pay any attention to me, but took out the gossip compass from the package, walked back and forth a few times, looked into the distance with some blankness, and finally put the compass back again, closed his eyes and began to recite the mantra silently. I didn't hear what I was reading at the time, it seemed to be "soul searching", and it didn't seem to be, soul searching is not so casual and can be used, it involves a lot of things, and the consequences of improper use are unimaginable!
After a long time, Master opened his eyes and beckoned me into the house. Although I didn't know what Master was doing, I still couldn't help but ask him, I knew what Master didn't want me to know, and even if I asked, he wouldn't tell me.
After sitting down, Master smiled at Fang Zhong and said, "Brother, please keep talking, it seems that our master and apprentice are going to talk with Brother all night!"
Fang Zhong smiled bitterly and said to the two of us: "If the two of you are really sleepy, just sleep first, I will arrange a place for you to live, and it will not be too late to listen to it tomorrow!"
I asked, "Where is the arrangement, it won't be the deserted house where Qin Tai sleeps, right?"
Fang Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, it just so happens that Captain Qin and his men haven't moved out in the past few days, if you don't dislike it, just squeeze them first, and it will be a few nights."
I shook my head and said, "After listening to the nightmare you just said, I don't dare to live in that deserted house anymore, you better keep talking, Master and I are not sleepy, are we?"
Master seemed to be thinking about something, and after I finished asking, he suddenly realized and hurriedly said, "Oh, yes, you keep talking, we are not sleepy."
Fang Zhong looked at my master, and after a long time, he sighed and said to my master: "Master, in fact, I came to you this time, not just for my daughter. I'm ...... these days. I...... I don't know what to say, she keeps pestering me......"
I didn't interject this time, Fang Zhong didn't seem to want to say it anymore, I could feel the pain he suppressed in his heart, I think he had hidden this secret for a long time, and if he didn't say it, he was afraid that he would not be at ease for the rest of his life!
The master looked at Fang Zhong and said, "Don't call me master, I'm not a master, but since I promised to help you, I will naturally help you to the end, if there is anything, you just have to say it!"
Fang Zhong glanced at the two of us gratefully, hurriedly refilled tea for me and Master, and then leaned closer to Master's side and said, "Master first help me see if she is nearby, I always feel that she has been following me for the past few days!"
"Who is she?" After listening to it for so long, I still haven't figured out who the "she" in Fang Zhong's mouth is. Why does he seem so scared at the mention of "her"!
The master smiled and said to Fang Zhong, "Brother, don't worry, with me, I guarantee that no demons and monsters will dare to approach!" When Master said this, his face was not red, he was not panting, and what he said was like the real thing. Fang Zhong was so fooled by the master, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he took a sip of tea and said to us: "I always have nightmares these few nights, and I will be awakened by nightmares every night, and the strange thing is that I can't remember the plot of the dream after I wake up!"
I didn't interject, and Master asked Fang Zhong, "Then how do you know it's a nightmare?"
Yes, I didn't think of this question, and I have to admit that I still don't have the master's quick reaction ability! Fang Zhong said: "I know it must be a nightmare, and it's terrible, because that feeling is real, every time I wake up scared, I will break out in a cold sweat, at this time I will wake up my wife, light the lamp, and can't sleep for a long time, because as soon as I fall asleep, I feel as if there is one more person in the house!" I'm only sleeping two or three hours almost every night these days, and I just can't stand it! ”
I really haven't encountered this kind of problem, and I'm sure Master hasn't encountered this weird phenomenon either. People will dream, and it is normal to have nightmares occasionally, which means that a person is too stressed, or caused by an imbalance of yin and yang, but if you have nightmares for several nights in a row, this is a bit abnormal! And Fang Zhong also said with certainty that he was having the same nightmare every night, so what kind of dream was the same nightmare he was talking about?
Seeing that the master didn't speak, and Fang Zhong didn't dare to disturb the master, I thought for a moment and asked Fang Zhong, "Could this phenomenon you are talking about be a nightmare?" It is commonly known as the ghost press, do you have the habit of putting your hands on your chest when you sleep? ”
"No, it's definitely not a ghost press, I sleep with my hands on both sides of my body, or sleep on my side, it can't be a ghost press. I've also heard of the ghost press you said, almost everyone has felt this way, and that's because a person puts his hands on his heart before going to bed, which causes the discomfort caused by slow blood flow, but what I encountered is not as simple as a ghost press! Fang Zhong was actually a little excited, it seemed that this matter really had a great impact on him, if he couldn't help him solve it as soon as possible, he would probably collapse.
"If you want to solve the problem fundamentally, you must remember the content of the dream." Master raised his head and said this.
