Chapter 81: The Ghost Story of the Republic of China
No matter what was on top of my head, it couldn't be Mimi anyway!
At this time, in such a strange way, it must be something dirty!
When faced with dirty, you must not show fear, or you will be in danger!
So I pretended to be calm, pretended not to see 'it', and actually my hands were shaking – some nerve reflexes that I couldn't control even if I wanted to.
"Mimi, didn't you come? I'll leave first if I don't come, and I'll come back to you tomorrow to play" I said, moving my footsteps outward, I didn't look up, and then looked at 'it', I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to leave!
My idea was beautiful, but 'it' was obviously not so good, and as soon as I moved, I heard a terrible scream ringing in my ears, which shook my eardrums and frightened me. I screamed that something was wrong, and at the same time, a gloomy wind blew from the branches and leaves of the camphor tree overhead, blowing out most of the spirit lamp, and the top of my head was also painful, as if something had fallen on my shoulder, and there was a heavy pressure all over my head and shoulders!
The pressure was not only heavy, but also cold and bloody!
I tried to shake my head to shake off the cold and heavy pressure, but after shaking it twice, the pressure not only did not decrease, but my head became a little dizzy! I reached out and touched the top of my head, but I felt nothing.
It seems that this is something intangible!
With this discovery, I can't help but be sure.
If you divide it widely, the ghosts and spirits in this world can be roughly divided into two categories, disembodied and disembodied.
I haven't encountered tangible spirits yet, and the ones I've encountered before, including the soul of the nine-tailed fox, the evil baby, Xiaobai, etc., are all intangible and incorporeal. There is no way to directly kill a living creature without a physical body, such as a ghost. Those who are killed by ghosts are either directly frightened to death by ghosts, or possessed by ghosts and then commit suicide, or killed by people possessed by ghosts. There may be ghosts in this world that can directly kill the living, but at least I haven't encountered them.
Since this dirty thing in front of me is invisible, as long as I stop being afraid, and at the same time keep my mind clear and don't let it go, then it won't hurt me!
As the saying goes, it is difficult to invade the righteous spirit and evil spirits, and this is the truth.
I figured it out, made up my mind, and gradually calmed down. It's just that the thing is still on my shoulders, putting me under heavy pressure. Although I know that the pressure is mostly fake, it is a delusion created by it. But the touch coming from my shoulder was so real that I couldn't break the illusion it gave me, and in my perception, the pressure was real. So my shoulders were getting more and more sore and painful, and my head was slowly getting groggy.
No, it can't go on like this!
I let out a cry in my heart, my teeth biting the tip of my tongue, using the pain to bring myself back to clarity.
"What are you?!" Because my tongue was injured, my words were a little slurred, but at the moment of life and death, I couldn't care much more, and continued, "Do you have any wishes? You tell me, I'll help you! ”
"Ho-ho-ho-" The thing made a strange sound again, but I didn't understand it.
The pressure on my shoulders continued unabated, and I knew that since 'it' wouldn't listen to it, I would have to be polite to it.
Because of the terrible experience of failing to conjure spirits at the police academy last time, when I bought the materials for spiritualism in the town, I thought about it one more step: what should I do if the conjuring fails, like last time, and summons something very aggressive and dirty?
So I bought a few more things at the time—some materials needed to ward off evil spirits!
Those materials are now in a bag under the camphor tree!
"Hey! Are you hungry? Shall I treat you to something to eat? Without waiting for it to respond, I quickly reached into the bag as I spoke.
I first grabbed the peachwood sword, then grabbed a handful of paper talismans.
The store that sells dead men's supplies has a lot of items, even something like a mahogany sword, so I still don't deserve to die this time!
As soon as I grasped the peachwood sword, I recited the exorcism spell that I had memorized so well.
"Heaven and earth are natural, filth is scattered, and the eight directions are mighty, making me natural. Lingbao talisman, proclaim for nine days, kill demons and bind evil, and save thousands of people...... Zhongshan mantra, the beginning of the jade text, recited once, but the illness prolonged. The ferocity dissipates, and the Tao Qi remains. Haste as a law! ”
I read it so fast that I couldn't hear the words clearly. But a mantra is a mantra, and no matter how fast you recite it, it has an effect.
Before I finished reciting the incantation, I felt a lightness all over my body, especially on my shoulders, and the heavy pressure instantly left my body!
"I'm scared and want to run?!" I sneered and looked up. As there were still spiritist lamps on the ground, I saw a white shadow scurrying into the flourishing branches of the camphor tree, leaning against the dim oil lights.
This lesson is a large camphor tree that is thousands of years old, the trunk is indescribably thick, and the branches and leaves on the top are overgrown, even in this cold winter, it is still prosperous. As soon as the white shadow burrowed into the foliage, I could not see it.
I don't want to chase it just yet. I managed to scare it away with the exorcism charm, and I don't want to provoke it back.
I didn't panic and run away, but blew out the spirit lamp and put the things on the ground into the bag. I was moving very slowly, one because my arm was a little sore, and the other was because I pretended to be it. I don't look scared. Because I know it's not gone, and it must still be watching me secretly.
I carried the bag and slowly left the camphor tree. During this whole process, my right hand kept holding the peachwood sword, and I didn't dare to let go for a moment.
Because it is the only reliance at this moment.
It would be nice if those charms my grandmother left me didn't have their expiration date!
When I walked out of Zhang'an Village and couldn't see the big camphor tree, I suddenly relaxed. The whole leg was also shaking in fear.
Tonight, it was really a very dangerous encounter with a 'ghost'.
And unlike the previous ghost encounters, although the previous ghost encounters were very dangerous, at that time I had a talisman left by my grandmother, which made me save the day many times.
But this time at night, he escaped completely by his own ability.
Does that mean I've grown up?
I didn't dare to stay where I was any longer, so I held my weak body and walked towards the town step by step. When I got to town, I found a hotel and opened a room.
Once in the room, I closed all the doors and windows.
Even though I'm in town, will my thing come with me?
I wasn't sure about this, so I set up a five-spirit array in the room.
The second part of the book "Thirty-six Secret Methods of the Yellow Gate" left to me by my grandmother has twelve spell protective spells, and there is this five spirit array in it.
The so-called five spirits are water, fire, wind, thunder, and earth.
This Five Spirit Array has several levels, and if it is the highest level of the Five Spirit Array, it needs to use the power of the Five Spirits between heaven and earth to form an amazingly powerful array.
My abilities are limited, and my materials are also limited, so I can only lay the lowest level of the Five Spirit Array.
I took out five blank pieces of paper, drew on them the five things of water, fire, wind, thunder, and earth, and then wrote the names of the gods in charge of the power of the five spirits according to the book.
Under normal circumstances, the process of making the five spirit runes is very complicated, not only to set up an altar to worship the spirits, but also to draw the talismans in an order, and after the spell is drawn, there are specific actions and rituals. But when I made the water, fire, wind, thunder, and earth five spirit runes, everything was simple. I don't have the conditions that are required in the book, only a sincere heart to pray—for the safety of my own life, my heart is not sincere!
I went to bed after the Five Spirit Array was set up, but because I didn't have confidence in the formation I had arranged, I slept restlessly.
But luckily, I don't know if it was the Five Spirit Array I made that worked, or if the thing didn't come to me, so I slept safely until dawn.
When I woke up, it was already noon, and the sun outside my room was bright and bright, which made me feel very relieved.
I carefully put away the five spirit runes, which were spells I had made with my own hands, and although they were very simple and I didn't know how effective they were, they meant a lot to me.
Out of the hotel, I had dinner first, and then came to Zhang'an Village again, I walked to the village, but I didn't go to the big camphor tree, just looked at it from a distance. The big camphor tree looked alive in the sun, but I knew that deep in those dense foliage, something terrible was hidden!
Although the afternoon sun was very blazing, after a few glances at the big camphor tree, my heart was as cold as ice. I thought about it for a moment, and turned around and walked towards the village.
There is an activity club for the elderly in the village, and a group of old men and women sit at the door of the activity club to bask in the sun. I saw an old man with kind eyebrows, and thought that it should be easier to speak, so I walked up to him and asked, "Uncle, may I ask, is there any ghost in this village?" ”
I knew that my problem was straightforward, and I might be mistaken for a psychopath, but I couldn't care about it. The old man was basking in the sun with his head down, and he didn't pay any attention to my words. I was a little embarrassed, raised my voice and asked a few more times, "Is there any haunting in the village?" ”
The old man finally raised his head and looked at me, with a blank and ignorant expression: "What are you talking about?" The old man shook his head as he spoke.
"Young man, he's back on his back, and he can't hear it." Another old man sitting next to me said to me, he was also very old, his hair was gray, and his teeth were gone, but his spirit and the tone of his voice were still strong.
I wanted to ask him the same, so I repeated the question. The old man smiled and said, "Yes! ”
The expression was natural and ordinary, just like the question I was asking not about ghosts, but about simple questions like whether I had eaten.
