"Perhaps this is fate." Jin Zhongyue said in a daze, "After Yun'er burned the temple, we both followed Mr. Lin's instructions and did not dare to go to the child, but we built the temple again, hoping that he would have I can come back one day.”
"It's just that this is a delusion after all. As soon as the child left, he never appeared again. Without him, people in our Jin family began to disappear one after another."
"We, as a couple, were terrified, fearing that Yun'er would suddenly disappear one day. However, we followed Mr. Lin's instructions and lived in seclusion. Finally, we managed to get through it for a few more years."
"But as our Jin family has fewer and fewer descendants, I know that sooner or later it will be our family's turn. Especially in recent years, there have been many bad signs in Yun'er. I think it may be a ghost. A sign that the curse is about to break."
"We, as a couple, were almost desperate, but late one night, we suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside."
"This thing is very mysterious. The front door of our house is actually a bit far away from the house where we live. Normally, we have to ring the doorbell to hear it. But that night, although the knock on the door was very light, it was still very quiet for me and Your Aunt Yu actually heard it clearly."
"We both find it very strange, and our home has banned visitors for many years, so who would come to our door in the middle of the night?"
"When the two of us got up, we checked the surveillance outside the door and found that there was no one outside, but we did hear the knock on the door just now."
"Because we were worried, we turned on the lights and went outside to check. As soon as we opened the courtyard gate, we found a figure standing outside."
"At that time, your Aunt Yu and I were both scared to death. The man's appearance was really weird. He was wearing a white robe. Later we recognized that it should be a monk's robe."
"But the strange thing is that the man covered his head with newspapers and didn't even show his eyes. This look is really scary."
"I boldly asked him who he was and what he wanted here. The man suddenly clasped his hands together and walked in."
"We were startled and wanted to stop him, but somehow, as soon as our eyes were dazzled, the man had already passed us and entered the house."
"We hurried to catch up, but the man was obviously not walking fast, but we couldn't catch up. The man came all the way to the backyard, and just reached out and pressed on the door, and the door lock suddenly popped open."
"The other party entered the backyard, followed the same pattern, and opened the temple door. When we arrived, we found that he had entered the temple and sat on the futon."
"My husband and I were extremely shocked at the time and looked at each other. We didn't know what was going on for a while. Later, we asked repeatedly, but the other party just sat there and remained silent."
"Later, the two of us had to retreat from the temple and discuss it in private. Suddenly, an idea came to both of us. Could this strange man who came unexpectedly be the child from back then?"
"Because except for that child, who would know that there is a temple in our backyard, and who would be so familiar with it?"
"After we discussed it, we decided to treat it as if the child had come back, so from that day on, we continued to keep vigil as before."
"At first we were very nervous, afraid of something happening, but for a long time afterwards everything was fine, which made us both feel relieved."
"I didn't expect something would happen." Jin Zhongyue sighed, "That kid, Yun'er, had a big quarrel with me because of the temple thing, so he ran out angrily."
"We were used to it, but we didn't expect that that night, when we were keeping vigil in the backyard, we suddenly heard a voice saying, 'Looking at the Feng Shui layout here, it does look like the handiwork of that old man.'"
"We were shocked and hurriedly looked around, but we didn't see anything. If we hadn't all heard it, we would have thought it was an hallucination."
"Then the man said again, 'Open the door.' And from the sound of the voice, it was right behind us! We both hurriedly turned back, but when we saw it, it was empty behind, and there was no one at all!"
"I had no choice but to bite the bullet and loudly asked him who he was, but the man just said, 'You don't need to worry about this, just open the door.'"
"The voice was clearly behind us, and it sounded very clear, but when we turned around, there was nothing."
This description reminded me of the shadow whose voice I could only hear but whose person I could not see, and asked, "What does that person's voice sound like?"
"This...should be said like this..." Jin Zhongyue hesitated.
Yu Qin continued, "The voice sounded weird. It was a bit unclear to distinguish between male and female, and although I heard it clearly, it felt a bit erratic."
"Yes, yes, that's it!" Jin Zhongyue slapped his thigh and said.
I nodded and asked the couple to continue talking.
"While we were looking for that sound, we suddenly saw a dark figure coming in from outside. If we looked carefully, we saw it was an old lady in black, and she was holding Yun'er in her hand!"
"Yun'er looked like that at that time... it was really scary. We didn't know whether she was unconscious or... the two of us rushed over in a hurry, but as soon as the figure flashed, the old lady somehow passed through us and came Arrive in front of the temple gate."
"The old lady raised her hand and slapped the temple door. The bronze door was very strong, but it couldn't withstand her slap and collapsed with a loud bang."
"The old lady threw Yun'er to the ground and entered the temple."
"The two of us quickly took the opportunity to hug Yun'er over. Just as we were about to call for help, we heard several muffled sounds coming from the temple."
"I only saw a flash of black shadow, and the old lady suddenly stepped back from the temple. In a flash, she grabbed my and your Aunt Yu's necks and carried us to the temple gate."
"I just felt that the hand locking my neck was bone-chilling, like iron pliers, tightening tighter and tighter, and soon I fainted."
Yu Qin also nodded when he heard this. It was obvious that the couple's experiences were similar.
Later, when the couple woke up, they were taken to the corpse pit.
"I wonder if the child in the temple ran away." Jin Zhongyue said guiltily, "Speaking of which, our family was all involved."
I have some different views on this.
Judging from the descriptions of the couple, there were a total of two people who appeared at Jin's house that night, one was the old lady and the other was the mysterious shadow.
The two of them were working together, and the old lady was probably following the shadow's instructions.
Jin Zhongyue and his wife thought that the other party was coming for them, but when the old lady showed up, she went straight to the Yin Yang Temple!
Therefore, the three members of the Jin family may not be the target of the other party.
On the contrary, it is probably that weirdo in the Yin Yang Temple!
