Trick 3: The Fierce Spirit by the Lake Chapter 38 Where the obsession lies
Chen Wendong and Yue Lin were also overjoyed, and hurriedly put their faces close to the table.
The yellowed paper was marked with dark brown water, and the lines outlined in black ink were either faded or blurred, but they did not prevent them from being read. On the side where Wu Yun's fingers were pressing, a man and a woman were depicted on it, standing opposite each other, clasping their hands together, looking at each other with affection. The male scholar is dressed up and looks handsome; The woman's willow eyebrows and peach lips are like fairies. They are the protagonists of the legend, Zhao Xu and Xiao Lian, who are on the top of the cliff, and below them is the vast lake. At the bottom of the picture, there is also a line of neatly written fly-headed letters: "At this time, the scholar Zhao Xu walked out of the crowd, walked to the edge of the cliff without hesitation, held Xiao Lian's hands tightly and put them on his chest, and said to her affectionately: 'Xiao Lian, I love you, if you want to jump into the lake from here, I am willing to jump with you!'" Even if you die, I am willing to die with you! As long as I can be with you, death is nothing! On the other side to the right, the two people in the painting hugged each other, and tears of happiness flowed down Xiao Pian's face.
"I see." Chen Wendong raised his head and said with a blazing gaze, "Xu Liangyue also said something similar to this last night by the lake. ”
Wu Yun nodded. "So I guess that when your daughter Xiaolian was dating a male student before her death, the boy must have said such a love vow in front of Xiaolian or wrote such a love vow in poems and articles given to her, but then the boy fell in love with someone else and reneged on the oath and dumped Xiaolian. After Xiaolian came to the lake to relax without you, she happened to hear the legend of the lake, and noticed that the hero in the story had also ruthlessly abandoned the heroine after making the same false oath to the heroine, which once again aroused Xiaolian's sadness and resentment that had gradually faded, and finally chose to go to the same ending as Xiao Lian in the story. At the moment when she threw herself into the lake and died, her resentment turned into obsession, so that Xiaolian's soul did not dissipate, but turned into a fierce spirit and stayed in the lake. When she hears that there are couples on the shore of the lake at night, and the man among them utters something similar to a vow to death, her resentment is aroused and amplified, and then she appears in front of the couple and kills them. ”
The other three nodded their heads as they listened attentively, obviously Wu Yun's guess coincided with their thoughts.
Yue Lin said: "Now that we have figured out how to lure the fierce spirit to appear, the following is the most critical question, how can we eliminate her obsession after the fierce spirit appears?" Do you have any ideas? ”
Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng looked at each other and shook their heads awkwardly. They also asked Shen Lao the same question last night, but Shen Lao's reply was pretending to be profound and ambiguous: "When you meet the evil spirit, maybe you will naturally find the answer." "Having said that, Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng will definitely not rashly draw out the fierce spirit before they find the answer or direction, and if they make a little difference, they will follow in the footsteps of Cheng Zhiyu, Fan Jiaying, Jin Wenchao, and Lu Xinhui.
At this time, the waiters brought all the dishes they ordered to the table, so that the atmosphere did not seem too silent.
"Let's not talk about it for a while, I ran back and forth between Lianhu and the city in the morning, and I was hungry, right? Eat something first. Chen Wendong knew that they didn't have any ideas in their hearts for the time being, so he beckoned.
After the four people at the table moved a few chopsticks slightly, Yue Lin spoke with a little hesitation: "Xiaoyun, Xiaofeng." In this matter of our daughter, you have shown a completely different composure from ordinary people, even if our Xiaodong has been a policeman for so many years and has seen many strange things, he is not as calm and decisive as the two young people in your twenties in this matter. I'm really curious about what kind of things have happened to you guys before? Can you tell us that we listen? Don't get me wrong, it's really not an aunt or my eighth wife, if you don't want to say it, it's okay. ”
Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng were not surprised by Yue Lin's request, in fact, they had long been prepared that the old couple in front of them would ask this question at any time, and after experiencing the events of the past two days together, they could also be sure that the old couple would be able to accept the ghostly stories they had experienced. Xiao Feng nodded, and began to tell the two tricks that started with the inexplicable displacement of the items in the 418 girls' dormitory last year and left Dongming Mountain five months ago.
Chen Wendong and Yue Lin had stopped their chopsticks at some point and listened quietly, as if the digestion of food in their stomachs would affect their concentration on listening to Xiao Feng's real experience. The expressions on their faces kept changing with the development of the story, as if they were in it, personally experiencing and feeling the joys, sorrows, sorrows, sorrows and horrors that Xiao Feng had experienced.
More than half an hour later, Wei Xiaofeng finished telling the story, exhaled deeply, picked up the drink in the cup and took a big sip, moistening his already dry throat. After listening to the story, the old couple looked unsatisfied, deeply trapped in the story and couldn't extricate themselves.
Although he had already heard everything from Wei Xiaofeng, and Wu Yun had also experienced the story of the girl in the mirror of Dongming Mountain, he still listened to it all quietly and carefully. And one of the episodes made a thought spontaneously arise in his mind, so he shouted: "I have thought of a way!" ”
The other three immediately turned their suspicious gazes at him.
"It's the problem we discussed earlier about how to resolve the obsession of the fierce spirits in the lake. I suddenly had an idea, just like the incident that happened in your bedroom last year, you let the girl who caused Xiao Ye hang herself to go back to that bedroom to confess and apologize, and then Xiao Ye's obsession disappeared, and her soul was able to ascend to heaven. If we bring the man who dumped Xiaolian six years ago and caused her to commit suicide to the lake, and let him repent and apologize to the evil spirit that Xiaolian has transformed, maybe we can dissolve the obsession of the evil spirit. ”
"No way!" Wei Xiaofeng immediately vetoed, "This fierce spirit is not the same as Sister Xiaoye. Sister Xiaoye's soul has not lost its good heart, although she has done many strange and scary things, but it is to tell us that the reason for her suicide is strange, and she indirectly asks us for help, and the original intention is not to harm people. But this evil spirit has lost its heart and is completely driven by resentment. I fear that bringing that man to the evil spirit will only be self-defeating, and will cause the evil spirit to resent it even more and kill him. ”
Chen Wendong also supported her and said: "What Xiaofeng said is reasonable, although our daughter's suicide was mainly caused by the boy's change of heart, we can't put his life in danger because of this." And after so many years, we don't know where the boy is now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to contact him in a short time. Even if they can be contacted, with his responsibility, I am afraid they will not dare to come. Over the years, Chen Wendong has obviously been haunted by this.
The method of finding the bell tie did not work, and everyone was a little frustrated, and they had to think of another way.
At this time, Yue Lin spoke: "Have you ever thought about why the evil spirit showed up last night to let that young man see the hallucination of his girlfriend's drowning?" ”
This question made the other three people's depressed thoughts clear, as if they had grasped something that flashed of inspiration.
Yue Lin was very satisfied with their reactions and continued, "If the purpose of the evil spirits is to ingest the souls of this couple, then why not just kill them? Xiao Feng, you also said before that if a fierce spirit wants people to see illusions, it needs to use spiritual power. So why did she spend a lot of spiritual power to make the young man see the hallucinations of his girlfriend drowning? Is it necessary to do more than one thing for someone who is about to be killed? I wonder if this was a test for him? ”
"Test?" The other three repeated in unison, their hearts gradually clear.
"We have just come to the conclusion that the evil spirit appears because the man in a couple said to the woman a love vow similar to 'I am willing to die with you'. And after the evil spirit appeared, the man fell into the hallucination of facing his girlfriend who was about to drown under the influence of the evil spirit, does this seem like the evil spirit is testing the authenticity of the love vows that the man said? She appeared from the lake when the man was about to get to the woman, also to test whether the man's so-called love can really overcome the fear of the unknown and death and fight for the other party. As a result, I assume that the young man in the first two incidents, like the young man surnamed Xu, chose to save his life at the last moment, leaving his girlfriend to escape, and they did not stand the test, and the price was that they were killed by the evil spirit and sucked out of their souls. ”
Yue Lin said these words in one breath, her eyes widened, and she cautiously glanced at her old wife and the young man in front of her, waiting for their response.
Their previous thoughts had been spinning back and forth on a track, unable to find a way out, and Yue Lin's words, like pulling an orbital converter, made their minds enter a new track.
After changing his thoughts for a while, Chen Wendong slowly spit out four words: "It makes sense." ”
Wu Yun said with joy and regret: "Indeed, we are so entangled in the reason why Xiaolian committed suicide that we ignore the fact that her obsession is a very simple word, that is, love. Her death stems from being betrayed by love, and her obsession lies in no longer believing in the so-called undying love. That's why she showed up after the lovers made a vow to die by the lake at night to test whether their love could really last until death, but these loves could not stand the test, and she felt disappointed, so she killed those lovers and took their souls under the impetus of obsession. ”
The answer to "So......" is already on the horizon.
"As long as she can withstand the test of the fierce spirit and make her believe that there is really an undying love in this world, then the obsession will naturally be resolved!" Speaking of this, for the first time since he met Xiao Feng, Wu Yun took the initiative to clench her hands to his chest, and said firmly: "Xiao Feng, believe me, we will go to accept the test of the fierce spirit tonight." ”
Although Xiao Feng was a little embarrassed and flattered, he still responded to him with an affirmative gaze.
Yue Lin worriedly dissuaded: "Wait a minute, this is just my personal speculation, maybe this is not the case?" Or think about it a little more, right? ”
"My feelings tell me I can't be wrong." Wu Yun said very resolutely, "The night is long and there are many dreams, in order to prevent any more couples from being victimized, it's tonight!" ”
