Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Tower
Xu Dazhi understands when he thinks about it, the second paragraph in the video is Li Damin cutting off his fingers in front of the painting, and the third paragraph is Li Damin and Lao Tong going to the broken tower attic to psychic. The hell painting was painted by Li Damin after he was psychic, so the second paragraph in the video should actually be the last thing that happened.
Now that things are gradually straightening out, in order to find Sun Ami's ghost, Li Damin asked Lao Tong and Mi Po to channel in the attic. After channeling, Li Damin did a series of unbelievable strange things. In the first, he painted a picture of the crucifixion of hell; In the second case, he took the picture back to his house, cut off his fingers, and came to worship. After that, he went to the kindergarten to find the child with the strongest spiritual energy, and found Xu Dazhi's son Xu Lei.
And whether Li Damin and Xu Tong are connected, this is doubtful. However, judging from the portrait of the human head painted by Xu Tong's ghost, Li Damin had contact with him. And some of the details of Xu Tong's family sacrifice are very similar to what happened to Li Damin. For example, both of them wore Japanese red clothes and worshipped their severed fingers. Xu Tong finally committed suicide and chose to hang himself.
These should not be coincidences. These details show that Xu Tong and Li Damin should worship gods under the same belief system.
The foundation runs to know the wind, and the moon runs to know the rain. No matter how mysterious and weird Li Damin is, as long as he exists in this world, he will inevitably leave traces of this and that. Connected by dots, a picture of his behavior is gradually depicted.
Now there is a big question mark, what does Li Damin want to do?
Even Liu Yang couldn't figure this out. When Xu Dazhi threw this question out, Liu Yang shook his head and said he didn't know. After a while, Liu Yang said, it is very likely that the psychic made Li Damin see some miracles or visions, changed his worldview, and his behavior has become unpredictable.
"What is written in that manuscript of Sun Ami that Li Damin passed on to you?" Xu Dazhi asked. Now that things had come full circle and returned, he intuitively felt that in order to unravel the series of mysteries that happened to Li Damin, he had to know what he saw in the psychic realm, and all of this was probably hidden in that declassified manuscript.
Liu Yang shook his head and didn't elaborate, but said, "Let's talk about it when we have a chance." ”
Lao Tong talked to himself, and didn't pay attention to the whispers between them, he said: "After I finished reading the painting that day and left, Li Damin was very alert, he somehow saw that someone had stolen into his room. He also approached me for questioning, but of course I didn't admit it. Unexpectedly, the next day, Li Damin left, leaving behind an empty house and a lot of used waste. I checked it carefully, and it must have been taken by him. I contacted him, but I couldn't get in touch. That's the way it is. ”
"Brother Tong, can you take us to that tower to have a look?" Liu Yang knocked on the table and said suddenly.
Lao Tong thought for a while and said, "Yes." He asked Bai Shuang with a sideways face: "What time is it?" ”
"It's almost ten o'clock." Bai Shuang looked at the watch.
Lao Tong said: "Not tonight, the time is not right." Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the evening, I will lead you in. ”
After talking about serious things, Lao Tong seemed to be drunk. didn't feel sleepy, so he simply took off his shoes, stepped on the stool with one foot, and bragged about the tricks he had done when he watched the yin. Liu Yang and the three of them were in the way of saving face, after all, they still had something to entrust him, so they were really embarrassed to leave like this, so they had to talk to him patiently.
The old boy explained to them what it meant to view the falling yin. Viewing the falling yin is also called contemplating spirituality. To put it bluntly, it is through spells that people can enter the underworld and talk to the dead souls. If it had been placed in the past, Xu Dazhi, who had no psychological burden, would definitely have accompanied Lao Tong to chat, but now he has something in his heart, thinking about his son, and he can't listen to anything. At this time, he suddenly remembered something, and told Lao Tong that he had a mysterious view of the Yin and went to a place called the Underworld. Then he told the old boy what he had done there, and asked him what he thought.
The old boy listened quietly, and said slowly, you heard in that place that the person who drove the carriage and whipped it should be a bad thing, and the carriage was full of dead or dying people, to be pulled to the underworld. If you really heard your son's cry in that place, and said this, Lao Tong shook his head and said, I'm afraid this child's life will not be guaranteed.
Xu Dazhi immediately became anxious: "No, at that time, a master told me that the one I went to was a fake underworld. ”
The old boy's face was solemn, and he pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "Whether it is the real underworld or the false underworld, they are the eternal hell that houses the dead and the dead. In the past few years, I have become more and more incomprehensible, all kinds of strange things, all kinds of demons and monsters, all happened in the world. Messy, I don't understand. If you are really worried, I can do a viewing of the falling yin for you, and you can go to the underworld and ask for clarification. ”
Xu Dazhi chuckled in his heart and said I want to think about it.
After the evening dispersed, Xu Dazhi and Bai Shuang went back to their respective homes, and Xu Dazhi saw Liu Yang walking along the street by himself. Liu Yang is now penniless, and it is difficult to return to his home, and he doesn't know where to go. Xu Dazhi was moved by compassion for a while, and just wanted to call him, but after thinking about it, forget it.
The next day, Bai Shuang went to work normally, and Xu Dazhi came to the hospital to accompany his son. My son's treatment has already begun, and he is doing a full body examination, and various items are cumbersome. Xu Dazhi took his son to run up and down the building, so tired that he was out of breath. The son whispered, "Dad, I've heard it said." ”
"What?" Xu Dazhi asked casually.
Xu Lei said: "They said I would die. ”
Xu Dazhi raised the corners of his eyebrows, and his face suddenly became gloomy. When the son saw his face, he trembled with fright and pouted. Xu Dazhi touched his hair and said, "Son, you remember, no one can take your life except yourself." You make me strong and be a man! ”
persuaded his son, Xu Dazhi was both angry and angry in his heart, which immoral person spoke so inappropriately. After running for a day, the toss was finally over in the afternoon, Xu Dazhi's sleepy eyelids couldn't be opened, and he sat on the stool next to the bed and dozed off.
When I was sleeping, I dimly felt that someone was standing in front of me. He was dazed and thought he was dreaming, but half-asleep and half-awake, it felt very real. Because he was sitting on a stool with his head down, he could only see the white flowers below the man's psoas muscles, and he could vaguely feel that this was a man. He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't, Xu Dazhi's brain buzzed, and he reacted, it was broken, and he was pressed by a ghost.
He remembered Liu Yang's experience of Li Damin's ghost press, when Liu Yang told him that he had encountered the solution to the ghost press. Xu Dazhi silently visualized the statue of Guanyin in his heart, Guanyin Bodhisattva stepped on the lotus flower, and the white light on the top of his head shone brightly. Then he silently recited the six-character mantra, which was not counted, and he bit the tip of his tongue fiercely.
But none of this seemed to work, and the man was getting closer to him, and he was breathing heavily. Very, very uncomfortable. I couldn't open my eyes, my chest was bitter, and I was almost dead.
At this moment, I heard a "break" in the distance, and then the strange scene in front of me disappeared.
Xu Dazhi hurriedly opened his eyes and found that he was still sitting on the stool next to the bed, just now it was like a dream, and his back was soaked. Looking to the side, my son was still sleeping on the bed, but his face was a little pale.
He shook his head, barely stood up, and tucked the quilt up.
At this time, he saw two people standing at the door, a man and a woman, neither of whom knew each other. Xu Dazhi didn't care, thinking it was a family member of another patient.
As soon as he sat back in his place, he saw these two men walking straight up with fruit baskets.
Xu Dazhi saw that he was coming, and hurriedly stood up and asked, "Who are the two of you?" ”
One of the girls with a ponytail said, "You are Xiao Lei's...... Father? ”
"That's right, my name is Xu Dazhi. Who are you? ”
The girl smiled: "I've been here once, you haven't seen me." At that time, it was his mother who took care of Xiao Lei. ”
Xu Dazhi thought for a moment: "Oh, I know, you are the junior sister of Master Jieling." ”
"Well, yes, my name is Qin Dan." The girl introduced herself generously.
Xu Dazhi looked at Qin Dan, and then at the man next to him. That kid is chubby, fat, big-eared, looks like three fat, a good girl, how to find such a boyfriend, it's a blind person.
Qin Dan said: "The talisman that Senior Brother asked me to send last time could only provide a temporary need, and he redrew another one for me to send and replace that one." ”
Xu Dazhi said "oh", went to get the talisman at the head of the bed, and when he walked over to take a look, he was suddenly stupid. I saw that the talisman attached to the head of the bed actually turned into a deep black, as if it had been scorched by fire, and all the runes on it were blackened.
"This ......"
Qin Dan walked over, gently uncovered the talisman, looked at the sleeping Xu Lei and said, "These days, there must be a lot of demonic spirits approaching your son. There was one just now, but luckily I came in time, otherwise ......"
Xu Dazhi thought of the ghost pressing bed just now, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, could there really be a ghost?
Qin Dan took off the black talisman, and then pasted the new yellow talisman on. Xu Dazhi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with my son, why did he mess with so many unclean things?" ”
Qin Dan touched Xu Lei's hair: "Maybe his physique is different from ordinary people." ”
Xu Dazhi thanked him a thousand times, and Qin Dan said: "We still have to visit a friend, so we won't stay longer." ”
A man and a woman took their leave. Xu Dazhi looked at his son's sleeping face and had an extremely ominous premonition.
After a mixed day, in the evening he came out of the hospital and went to the square. In front of the tower, I saw Liu Yang fighting with Lao Tong and chatting about something. Bai Shuang has made it clear that she will not come, and she has made up her mind not to mix it again.
When everyone arrived, Lao Tong walked to the tower, took out the key, and unlocked the door.
At this time, the night was already deep, the lights were on, and there was no one on the street except for the occasional passer-by.
As soon as the door lock was opened, the old boy pulled it open, and the door shaft made an extremely ugly "squeak" sound. Liu Yang and Xu Dazhi followed behind and walked in. Lao Tong closed the tower door with his hand. It's dirty, dusty, and smells unpleasant. The old boy was in front, probing the way with a blind stick. Liu Yang walked in the second one with a flashlight. Xu Dazhi came in a hurry and didn't take a flashlight, so he had to follow behind.
The three of them walked up the spiral staircase and soon reached the second floor. Liu Yang swept it with a flashlight, and there were broken walls and ruins inside, and there were piles of broken pieces all over the ground, such as broken sofas, waste newspapers, and even more exaggerated was that there was a bicycle locked on the windowsill, I don't know how many years it had been locked, and the car was covered with thick rust.
The second and third floors didn't stop, and went directly to the fourth floor. The old boy walked to a corner, where there was an iron door half-hidden and half-empty, and he pulled it open. There is little space in the door, and there is a staircase that leads to the top attic.
The old boy put the blind stick under his armpit and slowly climbed up the ladder. Liu Yang and Xu Dazhi, one after the other, also climbed up.
Climb out of the staircase and you will reach the mezzanine of the highest attic of the tower. The floor was dusty, with cobwebs between the beams, and a strong musty smell. Liu Yang covered his nose and coughed twice.
The old boy stopped them and motioned not to go any further. He took out a handful of gold leaf paper money from his coat, clamped the fingers of his sword in his right hand, and silently recited a few words in his mouth. Then let Liu Yang light it with a lighter. The gold leaf paper money burned slowly, emitting strands of black smoke. Lao Tong waited until the paper burned to ashes, and the serious expression on his face eased a little.
He told the two of them that this building is not clean, and every time they come here, they have to burn some paper for these "good brothers", and they get the courtesy.
The old boy took out three long incense sticks from the blanket, lit them one by one, and pinned them in the middle of a beam at the top of the staircase. He said that this is a life-saving incense, once the incense is extinguished, you must leave here quickly, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable.
