Chapter 9: The Ominous Man
"Li Yang!" I shouted, but no sound came out. Only then did I realize that between the vast world and the world, I actually had no form, only the existence of consciousness.
Li Yang stood on the high reef, his body unmoved, and he kept looking at the sea. For him, it seemed that time had stood still, and nothing was meaningless, only the ebb and flow of the tide in front of him.
I woke up with a thud and found myself still in bed. It was already dawn outside, and I had a splitting headache, so I opened the curtains, and the glimmer of light on the horizon was getting brighter and brighter. The night finally passed, and the day came.
I looked at the red tassels on the bed, and I was in a trance for a while. Last night's dream about Li Yang, was it an illusion brought by the red spike, or was it a lovesick dream because I missed Li Yang?
I went to the toilet and washed my face, and I was much more sober. Li Yang disappeared in the underground cave, and the red spike also appeared in the underground cave, and there must be some connection between the two. That strange dream last night shouldn't have been groundless.
When I think of Li Yang's depression on the lonely seaside, I don't feel good in my heart. But one thing is for sure, if this is the case, at least it means that he is not dead.
I was thinking about it when I suddenly heard the sound of suona outside. Come to the window and look out. Damn, this bad luck, I don't know whose family is at the funeral. There were more than twenty people standing downstairs, both men and women, some with black cloth wrapped around their arms. In the crowd, there was a seven or eight-year-old child, crying and crying, holding a portrait in his hand, and was about to get into the car.
When I saw this posthumous portrait, I was stunned. Hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out of the house with his shoes on. Some of the neighbors outside also came out to watch the excitement, and I stood in the back and looked ahead.
The rays of the sun fell on the portrait and illuminated it very clearly.
It was a woman in her thirties, very handsome, with long hair. It's just that in the black and white posthumous photos, his eyes are a little dull, revealing a strange smell that can't be described. When I saw this image, my brain was buzzing, and I almost didn't sit on the ground.
The woman in the photo is the one who appeared on the wall last night. Escorted by two ghosts in black suits, to a mysterious high platform, to look in the mirror.
I wiped the cold sweat from my head. There was an understanding of the eldest brother in the crowd, who was working in poverty and white, and told him what was going on with this woman. We are here to inquire about the know-it-all characters, the male is called the big brother, the female is called the sister-in-law, there is no thing in the whole world that they don't know, and there is an answer to whatever they ask.
I leaned over and listened, today was the day of the cremation of this woman, who had died of a sudden illness three days earlier. This is nothing new, what is more panicked is that she died in her own home, sitting on the sofa at night watching TV, suddenly motionless, her body stiffened, and her family snorted and died! I called 120 and pulled him to the hospital to be diagnosed, and he died, and the cause of death seemed to be a heart attack. At this time, an old lady interjected beside her, saying that she went out for a walk that night, and when she returned to the community, she saw three black shadows standing in the corner, two men and one woman, and she couldn't see really bright. When the old lady recalled it now, it suddenly dawned on her that the woman she saw in the corner that night was actually the soul of this dead woman, and the two men must be bull-headed and horse-faced.
Everyone listened to it so much that their mouths were almost touching the roots of their ears, and everyone thought that the old lady was nervous and ran away with her mouth full of trains. But the horror in my heart is indescribable.
I probably figured out an idea, the red tassel came from hell and hell. It can make people see illusions in some mysterious way, and what is the content of the illusion, it is about the process of going to hell after the death of the ghost. That night, the two ghosts were on their way with the woman's ghost, and they must have been walking...... Huangquan Road!
So what about the high platform and the mirror? and Li Yang, could it be said that he is ...... Hell? This seems to be a bit unreasonable, from many descriptions in ancient and modern China and abroad, there is no record that there is a sea in hell.
The more I pondered it, the more I felt that this matter was unspeakable, and I had to find someone superior to take a look.
After thinking about it for a long time, I had an idea.
I went home and had a simple breakfast, took the red tassels and went out to run errands. My mother couldn't look at it, and said that you have bad legs and feet now, so you should rest at home. Why are you busier now than when you go to work, what are you busy with all day?
I said it's okay, my leg is almost healed.
This is thanks to Yang Muyun, the master he invited to specialize in the treatment of bruises and bone injuries does have two brushes, and the leg injury recovers quickly.
I got on a bus to the countryside on crutches.
It was almost noon and we arrived at Takayama Village. This time, I made a special trip to visit Granny Bai.
When I arrived at the small high-rise building where Granny Bai lived, I hurried to the yard with my head down, and as soon as I stepped into the gate, I felt that my whole body was hot and hot. I usually like to walk with my head down and not look at the road in front of me, and when such an accident suddenly happens, I wonder in my heart and look up.
On the ridge of the eaves of the small high-rise building, facing the gate of the courtyard, there is a gossip mirror hanging. I thought this mirror was a decoration, but I didn't expect that at this time, the mirror was shining and shining into a disc that looked like a small sun.
It's really strange that the light emitted by this mirror falls right on the gate of the courtyard, and a long spot of light is drawn on the ground, which looks like a thick red yellow line when it is eyed.
Is it that the sky is bright and this mirror reflects the sunlight? I looked up at the sky, and I couldn't see any clues.
Walking further in, as soon as I stepped over the line of the light spot, I felt like hot oil had been poured all over my body, and I made a "mom" sound, and quickly took a few steps back. I just figured out a little taste, dare to love this gossip mirror formed a blockade on the ground, damn, come to block me.
I tried to take another step forward, and a hot air rose from the line of the spot. Under the sun's rays, the heat reflects a colorful light, like blowing up a layer of soapy bubbles.
As soon as I touched the curtain formed by this layer of heat, I would be so hot that I would shiver like oil, and I would be miserable.
I really didn't have any tricks, standing at the gate of the courtyard, and simply shouted inside: "White granny, white granny!" ”
The door of the small high-rise building is closed, and it does not look like a person.
Just as I was in a hurry, the skylight on the second floor opened. A man in a white exercise robe climbed to the highest balcony, held on to the eaves and walked cautiously, and after a while, came to the bottom of the gossip mirror. He took out a red cloth from his bosom and carefully covered it outside the mirror, and the light spots on the ground disappeared instantly.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go inside, when I saw the door of the small building open, Ren Ling walked out, pointed at me with her hand, and shouted: "Don't move!" ”
I was so frightened that I smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Ren, it's me, I'm Liu Yang." ”
"It's you who know the way, and the shouting is that you don't move." Ren Ling walked over.
She walked over, her face was as cold as ice: "You came to find Granny Bai?" ”
I quickly smiled and said yes again and again.
"Granny Bai said, you are an ominous person, and you have things from the underworld in your hands, so you should do it yourself as soon as possible and don't come to her again."
I don't hear it, it's harsh.
I was a little angry: "Even if I'm not a thing, is your white mother-in-law a Buddha?" All beings are equal, do you understand? I don't go to hell, who goes to hell, do you understand? Why did you let a rich person go in to see things, and stop at the door when he saw me who sincerely asked for help. ”
Ren Ling's attitude was gentle: "Then you have to do what you can." If you don't have the power of Jizo Bodhisattva, don't drill into hell. That's not fearlessness, that's stupidity and self-indulgence. Granny Bai said, she has a small temple here, and she really can't fit your big god. You'd better visit another master as soon as possible. ”
I said, "Okay, even if I deserve to die, can you let me die?" What the hell is going on? ”
Ren Ling sighed: "This morning, Granny Bai was meditating on the Buddha, and suddenly the Buddha statue of the white-clothed monk fell from the high platform, and even the two ever-bright lamps enshrined below were extinguished. Granny Bai pinched her fingers and knew that something was wrong. She said that someone would come today with things from the underworld, and it was a great bad luck and he could not be allowed to enter the hospital. No, you're here. ”
I looked all over my body, and I couldn't find anything from the underworld.
Ren Ling saw that I was still confused, so she said, "This red tassel in your hand." ”
"What's wrong with it?" I asked.
"Do you know that there is a hall in the underworld, which is for King Qin Guang?" Ren Ling said.
King Qin Guang? I thought about it, and it seemed that there really was such a Yama king.
"In the place where King Qin Guang is in charge, there is a high platform, and there is a big mirror on the platform, the mirror is ten around, hanging to the east, and there are seven big characters written on it: There are no good people in front of the evil mirror. This is the mirror that can see the cause and effect of sin. The red spike in your hand comes from this mirror of evil, and is a thing of the underworld. Granny Bai asked you to deal with it quickly, this thing is not a thing in the yang world, and it is a bad omen to stay in the world. Ren Ling said.
It dawned on me. I went for it, and the high platform and mirror I saw on the wall that night turned out to be from the underworld. That mirror is the mirror of evil.
This thing is too mysterious, it's just evil. Even though the sun was full, I still soaked in a cold sweat. Looking at the red spike in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more he felt panicked.
Ren Ling waved her hand: "Let's go, let's go." It's not something you can play, so deal with it. ”
I came out in a daze, and I was so depressed. This red tassel is not thrown away, nor is it kept. If it weren't for Li Yang's thing, I would definitely find a stinky ditch and throw this thing away. But Li Yang's whereabouts must be mysteriously related to this thing.
Where is Li Yang now? Is he in Hades?
I pulled out my phone, flipped through the phone book, and a name appeared in front of me. I took a deep breath and punched it. rang for a long time, and finally someone came to pick it up, and Qin Dan's voice came: "Liu Yang, you are really a rare guest." What did you think of me? ”
"Qin Dan, can you find the bell? I'm in a hurry. ”
Qin Dan said: "My senior brother is still in Sichuan, and the matter has not been dealt with, which is a little tricky. If there's anything, just say it. You can't trust me, huh? ”
I didn't know where to start, but said, "If you can, you can do it." I have a clue about Li Yang. ”
