"Fat, what's wrong with you, Fatty?"
At that time, I didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, so I shouted in a low voice and asked him what was wrong with him.
Huizhen swallowed nervously and handed me the Feng Shui compass in her hand without saying a word.
I saw the red pointer in the middle of the compass spinning in circles like crazy. The pointer was swaying, and the base of the compass was also shaking.
"Is your compass broken?"
My heart skipped a beat. The Feng Shui compass is used to measure Yin Qi. Wherever the negative magnetic field is the strongest, the red pointer will be fixed there. Why is it spinning strangely in circles?
"The compass is not broken, but the feng shui here is broken..."
With a trembling throat, Huizhen took out a bronze mirror and nervously handed it to me for me to look at.
I adjusted the angle of the mirror and took a quick glance into the bronze mirror. I was so frightened that my scalp went numb and I almost rose to the sky!
I saw a faint light flickering on the bronze mirror, reflecting dense ghost shadows, almost crowding the entire river.
At first I thought I had seen it wrong, so I blinked hard and looked towards the river beach. There was nothing but a thick fog. But when I lowered my head again and looked at the bronze mirror again, the picture reflected through the mirror was like a river. The sides are still covered with dense "human figures"!
I was so frightened that I started sweating instantly. There is a saying in martial arts that a mirror is a channel that connects two worlds. Through the refraction of the mirror, you can also see some things that are invisible to the naked eye.
Could it be that the altar that Huizhen and I built attracted all the ghosts under the river bed?
"Get out of here!"
Huizhen jumped down from the stone, took my arm and ran towards the village, panting and saying,
"I don't have enough mental power to save these innocent souls. There are too many of them. When they finish inhaling the incense on the altar, they will definitely come ashore to find a substitute!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw an even weirder scene. I saw that the yellow incense that was originally inserted on the incense burner was "sizzling" with sparks, burning from beginning to end at a speed that the naked eye could see!
The sparks flickered crazily, and the flickering light reflected pale human faces one after another.
They greedily inhaled the incense, and while tasting the incense and candle offerings, they stared at us with their white eyes like dead fish, and some were grinding their teeth viciously!
I let out a strange cry of "Ah!", and my heels became weak and I almost fell to the ground. Huizhen was also frightened, and she grabbed my arm and pulled it back hard, her lips trembling.
"There are so many lonely ghosts living in the mountains behind Yama Village. It's more lively than a temple fair. Come on, they're coming!"
Woohoo!
As a white mist rolled in, more shrill cold wind blew behind him, and a large number of blurry ghost shadows alternated in the thick fog, filling the entire mountain road.
I looked around with a miserable face. There were ghost shadows hiding in the thick fog everywhere, crawling towards us crazily.
These ghostly shadows kept their sinister smiles while crawling. Their sinister smiles fluctuated with the mountain wind, blocking the entire village road.
We couldn't go back, so we could only turn around and run deeper into the back mountain, but the thick fog in the back mountain was even more obvious than in the village. As we were running, Huizhen suddenly grabbed me and shouted,
"There is a cliff ahead, we can't run anymore!"
I quickly stepped on the brakes and looked down, only to find that I and Huizhen had unknowingly run in front of a cliff. In front of us was a sheer cliff with a drop of tens of meters. The fog was too deep. From my perspective, You can't see the bottom of the cliff at all. What if you fall?
"Hurry up and run another way."
I gritted my teeth and swore loudly, and pulled Huizhen to try to find another way. However, Huizhen was frozen in place, her two rows of teeth chattering continuously, and she pointed to the hillside behind her with a look of despair, "It's too late."
When I followed Huizhen's gaze, I quickly understood why he had become so timid.
The mountain road leading to the back mountain was now filled with gloomy ghosts, densely packed like a bunch of wriggling black worms.
Old and young, men and women, all looked pale blue in the thick fog, looking at us with glowing eyes like dead fish, grinding their teeth and grinning ferociously.
In the direction where these ghosts gathered, I could feel a surge of resentment, as violent as a river!
"Giggle..."
The dark wind blew by, and the ethereal and numb ghost cries resounded throughout the hillside, one after another, with no end in sight.
This girl is just here to go to the market!
I almost stopped breathing, Huizhen also showed a face that was about to cry, and said miserably,
"It's over. There are so many lonely souls and wild ghosts. No one can stop them. Zhou Xuan, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass this hurdle."
There are not a hundred but eighty ghosts surrounding the foot of the mountain. How scary is the scene of hundreds of lonely ghosts gathering together? People who haven't experienced this can never figure it out.
In the ghost tide, countless ghosts let out hollow grins, and green ghost faces kept alternating in the thick fog, surrounding us step by step.
My breathing was rapid and I didn't dare to move. I had long forgotten everything Xuan Zhenzi had taught me.
Not to mention exorcising ghosts, this scene scares me just by looking at it!
Huizhen was a little calmer than me. Although her tongue was trembling with fear, she still gritted her teeth and said,
"Zhou Xuan, use the boy's urine quickly. These lonely ghosts are most afraid of the boy's urine."
"Okay." I stammered in response and prepared to take off my pants and pull the button. But when you are nervous, you are more likely to make mistakes. Just now I was so scared that I wanted to pee, but now I can't squeeze out even a drop of urine. I am so anxious that I want to curse. .
Just when we were so scared that we huddled together and didn't know what to do, a deep sound of Buddha's chant slowly came from the foot of the mountain from far to near,
"Om! What! What! Ba! Mi! Hum!"
The loud sound of the Buddha's trumpet is like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, deafening and enlightening, igniting our emotions that are about to fall into despair.
Before I could react from the shock, Huizhen took the lead and pointed to the place where the sound of the Buddha's trumpet came from at the foot of the mountain. She was so excited that her voice started to cry.
"My master, it's my master...Zhou Xuan, we are saved!"
I blinked hard, but the fog on the mountain road was still so thick that I couldn't see who was chanting the mantra. I even wondered if I was hallucinating.
But soon this doubt was completely dispelled. The thick fog gradually faded. At the end of our line of sight, a fat monk with a rosy face appeared. He was beating a bronze drum and chanting the name of the Buddha. He slowly walked from The ghosts strolled over in the tide.
It’s really the old monk Mingtong!
His body was bloated, but his pace seemed firm and leisurely. As he walked, he recited Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, and the Sanskrit sounds turned into waves of sound. A calm, yet solemn aura soon enveloped the surroundings.
The thick fog formed by those ghostly shadows was fading rapidly, as if the snow had encountered the warm sun and was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
I looked at the old monk who was radiating golden Buddha light and a solemn treasure. My eyes were dazed for a moment. I couldn't imagine that such a person really existed in the world, just like the Buddha who came out of the Buddhist scriptures.
And just when I was in a daze, another clear voice came to my ears again,
"Zhou Xuan, why are you so dazed? Why don't you come down quickly!"
I trembled all over, and looked behind the old monk, and saw a thin old man with a tall and straight back, yet still wretched.
Xuan Zhenzi, he finally arrived.
