Chapter 7: The Devil of the House (2)
The legs of the 'man' looked as if they had been skinned and then cured in the same way as bacon. The pieces of carrion are purple in sauce and vary in size, probably due to the fact that they are frozen, and the carrion is solidified, dry and sticking to the legs, standing there motionless...
I felt my eyes go black, and it was like a firecracker in my head, and it was 'bang'. It seems that this is the 'thing' that was originally buried in the bell, I have had countless assumptions before, thinking that the bell may be buried in some kind of monster, I really didn't expect it, it turned out to be such a thing, is it a human, a ghost, or a zombie? …
I gritted my teeth, stood up softly, and said to myself, no matter what it is, I will take it back with me. Having made up my mind, I discerned the direction and walked the way I came.
As I walked, I felt the movement behind me. The 'thing' landed at the same time as me, and with each walk, the sound of stepping on the snow in front and back would overlap.
I wanted to know what it was, and I held back my fear and curiosity to look back. No one knew how uncomfortable it was, the oppressive aura coming from behind, and the feeling of being stalked and watched, and I could break down at any moment when I was tormented. I felt like I had a probe on the soles of my feet, and I could keenly feel the vibrations of the thing behind me as it walked.
After a while, I was soaked in cold sweat. It was the second half of the night, the wind had stopped, and the underwear was hot and sticky from sweat, which was particularly uncomfortable against the body. Luckily, the 'thing' had been unusual, and it just followed me, and my tense nerves eased a little.
Finally I saw the fallen tree, and I only needed half a mile to reach the old house. I breathed heavily, carefully turned the corner, and walked onto the path next to the tree. My heart began to settle down, and I felt my neck stiffen.
From a distance, you can only see patches of woods, blocking the view, and you can't see the old mansion at all. Not long along the path, there was a stinky ditch, and the sewage in it had long since solidified and was covered with snow.
When I came to the small stone bridge over the stinky ditch, I accidentally kicked a stone, and fell into the ditch with a 'poof', and it was empty, and the sound sounded like thunder, and I almost jumped up.
The cold sweat that was so easy to stop flowed down my face like a floodgate, and I hurriedly stopped, and the 'thing' behind me also stopped. For a while, I didn't dare to move, and nothing unusual happened.
However, as I continued to walk forward, things became wrong, the sound that overlapped with my footsteps disappeared, and all I could hear now was my own footsteps...
Did that thing run away? I didn't dare look back, I just froze, not knowing what was going on.
Suddenly, something cloudy flowed into my right eye, I hurriedly wiped it with my hand, and when I put it in front of my eyes, I saw a red thing on my hand, which was cinnabar...
I felt a 'grunt' in my heart, and I immediately understood that the two words 'Otogi' written on my head had been washed away by sweat, which was a situation that neither I nor Master expected, that is, that 'thing' was no longer under my control at the moment!
At this point, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and turn my head, however, the road behind me was empty, nothing...
What about the 'stuff'? I looked around in confusion, but all I saw was a winding road, a vast amount of snow...
When I looked back, I saw a scene that had been a nightmare for a long time. I saw a crooked monster standing about two meters away from me.
I let out a strange 'ah' and took a step back.
It was a man, a man like a snake, rotting out of shape. The 'man' seemed to have his spine broken from the waist up, his upper body and lower body were at a ninety-degree right angle, swinging from side to side, and his neck was raised high, like a snake spitting letters.
Seeing the strange appearance of the 'man' in front of me, a thought flashed through my mind like lightning, he had broken his spine and folded it into the bell...
Who is this man? Who was so ruthless to break his spine and stuff it into that bell, what was the purpose of the other party? The thoughts in my head flashed one after another...
The 'man''s upper body swayed back and forth, like a cobra ready to attack. I didn't dare to move, and cold sweat ran down my back.
What to do? Now in this situation, let alone bring it back, it's a question of whether I can get out of it. Suddenly, I thought of the nine-character formula used to exorcise evil spirits in Qimen, the so-called nine-character formula, which is the presence, soldiers, fights, people, all, arrays, columns, in, and front, each of which is equipped with a gesture.
As soon as I made a gesture, the 'man' seemed to sense something, and pounced on me with a 'whew'. I felt a yin wind blowing over my face, and I smelled a fishy smell in my nose, similar to the smell of mucus in the bell, only much stronger.
Frightened, I hurriedly stepped back, and with a bang, something fell out of my arms. Then, the thing let out a roar similar to a dog's bark and retreated.
I looked on the ground and it was the Seven Star Sword, which I had forgotten about in the previous crisis, or rather, I subconsciously didn't think that a small wooden sword could defend me against anything. Unexpectedly, this sword just fell out and scared the thing away.
I slowly raised my feet and stepped forward, intending to pick up the seven-star sword, but the thing sensed my purpose, and 'swished' around the seven-star sword, and pounced on me again. His head hit me in the chest, and I almost held my breath when I grabbed a token from my pocket and smashed it into his head.
The 'man' dodged faster than lightning, and as soon as my eyes flickered, he avoided the token and lunged at me again.
Just when I was at a loss, I heard an earth-shattering roar, and the 'man' was so frightened that he stopped attacking. I saw a black shadow 'hula' rushing towards him, no less than the degree of the previous 'man' attacking me.
The man in black flew up and kicked the 'man', kicking him several meters away, and the 'man' whined and roared, rolled over the ditch, and disappeared into the dense forest with a few ups and downs.
I looked at the man in black, and saw that he had a flat head and thick eyebrows, was not tall, and his eyes were as bright as night stars.
When I saw that it was Master, I was relieved.
"Master... That... Be... What is it? "I was so shivering that I couldn't speak.
"It's a house, I don't know who kept it in that house." Master asked with concern, "Leng'er, are you okay, didn't I say I wouldn't let you turn back?" ”
I pointed to my forehead, and Master looked at it, shook his head and smiled bitterly, leaning over to pick up the Seven Star Sword and the token. The seven-star sword was originally used to town the house, and that thing was a house evil, so no wonder I was so afraid of it. 、
"What now?" I looked at the woods.
"Let's go back first." Master said.
We were soon back at the old house, almost three hours before dawn.
"Leng'er, now you can only stay here, I'll go find that thing, he hasn't completely escaped yet, and he won't run away." Master said, "The period near dawn is the most difficult to keep, so I will put a natal lamp for them. Take care of it, don't let the lights go out. ”
The girl was still sitting in the candle circle and couldn't move, and the child had been in the ice cave for a long time, and most people were about to suffocate if they didn't freeze to death.
Master took out an oiled paper bag from his bag, and inside it was two small oil lamps. Lighting the lamp, Master found the corresponding position on the periphery of the two candle circles and placed the lamp there.
"Now that the door of death has shifted over time, I've sealed this hole in the wall."
After saying that, the master replaced the paper figure he had used earlier with a talisman and put it in the hole in the wall. After briefly explaining some emergency measures to me, the master picked up the seven-star sword and left the old mansion quickly...
As the minutes ticked by, I sat between the two candle rings, quietly watching over and worrying about Master. There was no wind in the courtyard, and the candles were already half lit, and the flames were straight up, but the flames of the two small oil lamps were only the size of beans, and they could be blown out with a single breath.
The courtyard was very quiet, and I took my breath very slowly, watching my phone and watching the two lights while listening intently to the movement outside. For me, every minute feels like a century is long.
The girl sat in the candle array, her chest curled down, and her expression was peaceful, as if she were asleep. Looking at that pretty face, I couldn't help but think of the Morning Star.
Last year, I met Morningstar in Guangdong and quickly fell in love with her. Without hesitation, she helped her investigate the truth of her father's death ten years ago, and finally found out that Morningstar's father was killed by her adoptive father Xiao Shan. But Morningstar became a completely helpless orphan and returned to England. We agreed to get married when she came back from school. My father, who was a businessman in Guangdong, wanted to sponsor Morningstar to complete his studies, but she politely declined. Morningstar said that she hadn't passed the door yet, and wanted to rely on herself and study while working.
After Morningstar left, I followed my father in business, and within a month I got tired of the deception in the mall. So he decided to go back to his hometown and learn magic from his master. Master and Father were friends for eight worships, and the two met when I was a child, when I was in elementary school in the town, and because it was far away from home, we both lived at Master's house.
My father heard me say that I wanted to go back to my hometown, and he didn't think about it and said, fuck, go back, anyway, Lao Tzu has made enough money, your master has been lonely, when you are your own son, accompany him more, if you can really learn an immortal Changchun Gong (faint to death), come back to you Lao Tzu and I will prolong my life... For most of the past six months, I have spoken to Morningstar on a transatlantic phone call every few days, and the relationship has always been very good...
My mind pulled back from the floating memory, looked at the girl in front of me, in a trance, she seemed to transform into the image of the morning star, looked at me with a light smile and said, Ah Leng, fool, miss me, wait for me to come back...
I rubbed my moist eyes and smiled silly. When I looked at the girl again, I suddenly realized that there was really a faint shadow on her body!
I was startled, got up and looked again, and the shadow was gone. I thought I was dazzled just now, but I just breathed a sigh of relief when the shadow reappeared.
The shadow was like the ghosting of the girl, vaguely recognizable, and her facial features were exactly the same as hers. My heart sank, it wasn't a shadow at all, it was the soul of the girl!
