Chapter 9: The Soul Lamp
The "Soul Attracting Lamp" is used to guide ghosts in the underworld. In the world, it is said that the common people are used by ghosts and gods to hook the soul.
After everyone shouted like this, the red light in front of them flashed and went out. Everyone held their breath for a while, looking at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all look at me. I secretly scolded these cowards in my heart, and they all expected me to be the first bird. I had to bite the bullet and say to He Fatzi: "I'll take a look, you can follow me within three steps." If you are too far away, I am afraid that if something happens to you, I will not have time to protect you. When they heard this, they hurried closer to me. I had a fearless and invincible expression on my face, but I secretly said in my heart: I can't take care of myself, how can I protect you. Tell you to stay closer, in order to strengthen your courage, in case anything happens, you collective unrighteous sassers run away, and it is not sad to leave me here alone.
When I saw that everyone was surrounding me, I was immediately relieved, and then told the timid He Fatzi to say: "Boss He, don't get excited when you see a ghost, don't use the beads I borrowed from you to smash the ghost." The magic weapon must be carried with you to save your life. ”
He Fatzi hurriedly replied to me: "No, no." After speaking, he carefully stuffed the beads, which were no longer shining, into his close-fitting clothes.
A group of people cheered up, held flashlights, and walked towards the place where the red light had been lit before. We shuddered and walked to the entrance of the cave, but the ghost lights did not appear again, and everyone stood around the entrance, looking down at the dark cave.
He Fatzi asked me, "Master, why is there a hole in the edge of this grave?" Is it a cave thief? "I thought to myself that this fat man, who is cunning in his bones, lent him a life-saving bead, and now he has even changed his name to me, no longer calling me little master, but calling me master. And I didn't see that he still knew what a hole thief was, and he was doing a lot of fighting after a long time, and he said that he was a serious businessman, and it seemed that he was also under an empty pretense.
I smiled and said to him: "Yo, I didn't see that Boss He is still an expert in fighting backwards, disrespectful and disrespectful." I don't know where Boss He came from, and which ancestor he worshipped? ”
He Fatzi laughed and said, "The master has lifted me, I am not a craftsman at all." It was once in order to find something that I had the honor to follow the uncle of the fifth master of Zha and enter the mountain once. I'm a layman or something, and I don't understand it at all. ”
I am very familiar with the uncle of the fifth master, and the master calls him Cha Lao Gou, an old man of my grandfather's generation, and a captain who touches gold. I heard that when he and the master were young, they were nicknamed "Black and White Double Brake", and I don't know how many mountains they moved and how many buckets they poured. When the old lady Cha was a little older, he washed his hands and went out of the mountain and began to cultivate the fifth master. The fifth master is his nephew, and he is also a rare inverted good seedling in a hundred years, who has made a lot of fame and fame. And my master, a Taoist who belongs to the sect of moving mountains, needs to practice the Tao, can't marry a wife and have children, and doesn't have any direct relatives, and before he accepted me and the fat man as apprentices, there has been no successor.
The older generation of them all like to listen to operas, and often meet in the teahouses of the theaters in old Beijing. The master was young and vigorous at the time, and in a fit of anger, he robbed the woman that the old man liked. Don't look at my master's old man, now he looks like a shriveled old man, and when he was young, he was a handsome and graceful lord like me. Actually, what happened at that time was not called robbery, my master was a cultivator and did not talk about the personal affairs of his children, but deliberately made friends with that woman and maintained a relatively close and friendly relationship. As a result, he was so angry that the old man had to work hard and cut off contact with the master. Later, the master and his old man accepted us two as apprentices, and when they got older, they also wanted to open, so they took the initiative to invite the old man to drink tea and reminisce, bragging about the skin, and the two of them were reconciled as before, and even closer than at the beginning. The older generation is still more particular about etiquette, and the fifth master often visits the house with gifts during the New Year's holidays. Although he is over fifty years old, he and I are considered to be the same generation, the old brother who opens his mouth is long and the old brother who closes his mouth is short, he is very affectionate to me and the fat man, and often invites us to drink tea and eat.
I smiled at He Fatzi, and inadvertently saw Secretary Chen beside him, his face was anxious, staring intently at the entrance of the cave, as if he wanted to see through the hole. The heart said: He shouldn't know that there is a treasure in it, so he wants to go down in a hurry! I had long seen that he was not a good thing, and if there was a treasure, this man might do something, and he should always be on his guard.
However, this hole is really a bit small, and it should be quite difficult to go down, so it seems that everyone has to dig a bigger hole first. As a result, before I could open my mouth, Secretary Chen couldn't wait to speak first, "Are we, should we go down and see, there may be something in here, maybe it is the source of the haunting." After saying that, he looked at me and asked for my opinion.
"Falling? This hole is so small, how did it fall! If there are any demons and monsters inside, will there be danger? I think we still have to think carefully, and we can't act rashly. He Fatzi shook his fat head like a rattle, and it seemed that he didn't plan to go down. I also don't agree with drilling the hole so boldly, I should dig the hole bigger first, maybe the inside is so small that I can't get into it at all. When the time comes, wait until tomorrow daylight, gather some people with shovels, and dig up this place to see.
So, I straightened up and wanted to say what I thought. Suddenly, I saw a black shadow in the distance in front of me, squatting opposite me and squatting behind Secretary Chen. I immediately stretched out my hand, grabbed Secretary Chen's clothes and pulled hard, he had no defense, his body fell forward by inertia, one leg stepped into the thief hole, his body was crooked, and the whole person lay on He Fatzi who was still squatting on the ground.
At this time, the people next to him also saw the black shadow, and Hulala stood up, and the light pillar of the flashlight flew in all directions.
"What's the matter, there's a ghost." A crowd of people yelled in a mess, and I pulled up the two who had fallen to the ground. Neither of them was injured, but Secretary Chen's leg that stepped into the hole was stuck and couldn't be pulled out. So, I worked with He Fatzi to help pull Secretary Chen's legs, but as soon as I used force, something connected to his legs was dragged out of the hole together. If you look closely, Secretary Chen's trouser leg is stained with blood, some bits and pieces of animal fur, and there is a tattered human skull stuck on his foot.
He Fatzi was so frightened that he screamed "Mom" and almost fainted. Secretary Chen shook off the skull on his leg with a calm face, looked down at the thief hole that had been stepped on by him and became bigger, and his brows were furrowed so much that he was about to twist together.
I looked at the skull on the ground in horror, suddenly remembered the black shadow, and hurriedly looked around with a flashlight. Suddenly, my eyes saw a dark shadow on the left, mixed with a fishy wind, and pounced on me. I hurriedly raised my foot and kicked at the black shadow, but the kick was empty, and I hurriedly looked at it, but I didn't find any black shadow at all, and my heart suddenly cooled half, it can't really be a ghost!
Hurriedly turned around and asked everyone, "Does anyone see what it is?" As a result, everyone said that the speed was too fast, and they could see that it was a ghost, what it looked like, and everyone was gossiping, and the description was different, and the more they talked, the more they didn't make sense.
I beckoned everyone to gather and walked slowly back to back to each other towards the perimeter of the grave. As a result, everyone tensed their nerves and slowly retreated to the mouth of the forest, and on a tree with a crooked neck on the left, a black thing suddenly jumped onto He Fatzi. As a result, He Fatty, who was less courageous than a quail, didn't even scream, just rolled his eyes and fainted.
This unlucky He Fat Man is simply a troublemaker, he really shouldn't have brought him here, and he was busy asking his buddies to take care of him. After giving the order, he found that Secretary Chen didn't know when, and he had already chased the black shadow out more than ten steps away. So, he hurriedly beckoned Chen Yuan and chased after the black shadow together, and he was not afraid of getting lost in the woods with him.
didn't run far, but saw Secretary Chen standing upright and motionless. Chen Yuan and I walked up to him, and just wanted to ask him what was wrong, when we saw the thief cave not far away, and the soul attraction lamp appeared again.
All of a sudden, my spine was cold, and my hair stood on end. It seems that this haunted thing is finally about to appear.
