Chapter 14: The Shadow Outside the Window
CHAPTER XIV
Before nightfall, an old monk came to the temple, and specially lit an ever-bright lamp for the three of them in the wing, saying that they could pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, a little yellow light like a bean emitted a faint wisp of green smoke, and the faint halo of the light emitted to bring some extra light to the wing, this light seemed to have a reassuring force, and the little fat man and An Qi looked at this light and showed some relaxed expressions.
Little Fat Man and An Qi don't really think that this little lamp can do anything, they just have more confidence in Buddhism, Buddhism has a long heritage, and all kinds of legends are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The little fat man and An Qi naturally felt that since there are ghosts in this world, there are naturally gods, and gods may naturally be more powerful than ghosts, gods are more powerful than ghosts, these Buddhist temples and Taoist temples are their dojos, and those ghosts are generally afraid to enter, right? Such a series of inferences is an important reason why Little Fat Man and An Qi feel at ease.
"Attend their puja tomorrow at noon to see if it can make a difference, if that puja doesn't help us much, I'll ask the host for two magic weapons, don't ask for that magic weapon to destroy those powerful ghosts and demons, as long as it can deter them!" Lin Li said that one of the main tasks of the three people and two people is to spend five days safely in this world, Lin Li is seven days, and one more day is one day, if the temple is safe, Lin Li will definitely not leave easily. After a pause, Lin Li continued, "I'll keep watch for the first night at night, and after three hours, the little fat man will get up, and then call Anqi, you two will sleep first, nourish your spirits, and don't fall asleep during the vigil!" ”
"Brother Lin, why don't I come and keep watch for the first night. It's still relatively early, just into the night Yin Qi is not heavy, there should be nothing powerful things will appear, the second night duty will be midnight, in case those things can enter the temple, the heaviest Yin Qi is easy to have an accident, the three of us You are the strongest, the second night is the safest, and those monsters are also very powerful before dawn on the third night, and you just fell asleep at that time. I had only slept for three hours. As soon as there is a little noise, you can wake up immediately, and we can also help Anqi! Lin Li finished arranging the task, and the little fat man hurriedly said.
"Yes, yes, that's a reasonable arrangement. So be it. Grab your artifact. Don't be careless! Lin Li nodded, feeling that the little fat man's arrangement was reasonable, and then explained, "Lock the door." Don't open anyone who knocks on the door, and if the host comes, wake us all up first! ”
"Well, okay, I'll be careful!" The little fat man nodded solemnly, and went to check whether the door was locked, and after checking, seeing that the door was locked, he returned to the bunk, sat cross-legged on his own bunk, and stared firmly at the door, like a dutiful mountain dog. Looking at the two men lying on the floor, An Qi was a little relieved, and quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep. Lin Li hadn't closed his eyes for almost three days, and the temple plus the protection of a 'companion' allowed Lin Li to finally let go of a part of his heart and close his eyes.
As the night deepened, electric lights were used in some parts of the temple, but large red and white candles were still lit in most places. This small temple was very understaffed, and it took an hour or two after dark for all the candles everywhere to be lit. The process of lighting the candles made the temple a little lively, and then the temple fell silent again.
The little fat man held his slap-like mosquito swatter and stared firmly at the door of the wing, if someone with vigil experience will know that it is easy to get tired when staring at a place for a long time. The little fat man stared at the door, and after holding on for an hour, he felt that his eyes were a little dry, and his spirit of concentration soon began to be cranky.
The little fat man's thinking is very strong, he thought of the origin of the curse for a while, and then thought of the origin of the magic weapon in his hand, this magic weapon was given to his apprentice Jin Zhengzhong by Ma Xiaoling, Jin Zhengzhong was a magic stick before he became Ma Xiaoling's apprentice, he could not exorcise demons and did not have mana, but after Ma Xiaoling gave him this exorcism magic weapon, even if he was a demon, he could fight. Although this magic weapon in his hand is very likely to be just an imitation, but if he can directly smash the weird old woman's face, he knows that this thing is definitely not an ornament, the more the little fat man looks at it, the more he loves it, the little prop sent by the main god, who can have his such a powerful piece? However, thinking of this, the little fat man glanced at An Qi who was sleeping again, this magic weapon has now been given to her, hoping to protect her. An Qi is not a particularly good girl, to be precise, she is the kind of cute girl who can be called a beauty, but that's all, the little fat man doesn't even understand why she is so attracted to herself.
The little fat man turned his head for a long time between thoughts, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that he hadn't looked at the door for a long time.
I don't know when a tall and thin shadow was reflected in the window outside the wing, and the shadow stood there motionless, not speaking or knocking on the door, like a puppet, and the little fat man felt that the thing seemed to be able to see himself through the window. His throat was dry for a while, and the little fat man swallowed his saliva subconsciously, he wanted to ask who was outside, but he was afraid that when he made a sound, the thing would know that his existence would attack him.
"This is a Buddhist temple, this is a Buddhist temple, how can those ghosts and monsters come in, impossible, there may be a monk keeping vigil outside, yes, it must be a monk who keeps vigil!" The little fat man's brain was a mess of porridge, these thoughts flashed quickly in his mind, but he couldn't make the slightest sound in his throat, the little fat man didn't even dare to turn his head and call Lin Li, even if Lin Li was next to him, he could touch it with a hand, but the little fat man was afraid, he was afraid that if he moved or made a sound, he would alarm the thing outside the window.
The little fat man looked nervously at the things outside the window, the black shadow outside the window had been standing there without the slightest movement, the little fat man felt like he was confronting the black shadow, his spirit was highly nervous, the little fat man's drowsiness had long disappeared without a trace, I don't know how long it had been, the little fat man felt that his neck had been completely frozen, and his legs had not moved because he had been sitting cross-legged for too long, and he felt that he no longer belonged to him, but even so, the little fat man still didn't dare to move, he was very satisfied with the current situation, It doesn't matter what the dark shadow outside the door is, as long as it doesn't come in. Even if he suffers a little, the black shadow can't hurt the girl behind him if he doesn't come in, of course, by the way, he can't hurt Lin Li and himself, that's fine, this is the result he wants most. The little fat man didn't want to relax his mind, but his tired body had begun to adjust himself, and his cranky mind was a kind of self-adjustment of the body.
"What's wrong?" I don't know how long it took Lin Li's voice to suddenly sound, feeling the little fat man's body tense, Lin Li asked out loud while following the little fat man's gaze.
"Ahh There's a dark shadow outside the window, there's a dark shadow outside the window! Lin Li suddenly made a sound and startled the little fat man, and the little fat man reacted in surprise and immediately pointed out the window and shouted. Lin Li looked in the direction of the little fat man's finger, just like what he saw just now, there was nothing outside the doors and windows of the wing, there was no dark shadow and nothing. At the same time as screaming, the little fat man also looked out the window, and there was no black shadow outside the window at all. "How could it not be? I stared at him for a long time, and I kept staring! ”
The little fat man wanted to stand up in disbelief, he didn't move cross-legged for a long time, his two legs were already difficult to exert because of the lack of blood, and he almost fell down after standing up, but the little fat man didn't care about this, he struggled to stand up, walked to the door in two steps and wanted to open the door to see if there was anything outside. At this moment, Lin Li grabbed him violently, and a black shadow flashed outside the window of carved paste.
"Brother Lin, have you seen it, have you seen it? I didn't lie to you, I'm not crazy, there's really something! The little fat man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the black shadow reappear, which at least proves that he did not go crazy under strong mental pressure, many times those dirty things hurt people, not how terrifying they are, but people themselves scare themselves, people are scared to death.
"Well, I saw it, leave him alone, it may be a monk who can't sleep at night, you go and rest, sleep for a while, I'll keep watch!" The little fat man's eyes were round, the whites of his eyes were full of bloodshots, his current state was not crazy, but he was already a little abnormal, Lin Li didn't want him to become the second Manager Liu.
"What's wrong? Isn't it......! The voices of the two woke up An Qi, who had been sleeping very lightly, and looked at the little fat man who was a little overly excited, An Qi asked with some uneasiness.
"It's nothing, he's a little unsteady, you go to sleep, I'll call you in three hours!" Lin Li didn't want everyone to sleep unsteadily because of that weird black shadow, so he turned around and comforted An Qi, the little fat man immediately calmed down when he heard An Qi's voice, and reluctantly showed a smile to An Qi to signal that it was okay, and the little fat man got into his futon and pulled up the corner of the futon to cover most of his head.
The three of them didn't notice, I don't know when the lantern brought by the great monk had been extinguished, and a wisp of green smoke rose little by little, disappearing into the darkness of the roof, and something seemed to be swallowing this incense in the dark.
Lin Li didn't notice this abnormality at the head of the bed and the roof, and when An Qi and the little fat man barely fell asleep, he suddenly frowned and looked out of the door, a black shadow was reflected in the window, I don't know when this black shadow appeared again, Lin Li didn't notice his appearance at all, this black shadow was definitely not a person.
