Human emotions are very strange. When touching things happen one after another, you may not be so touched anymore later on. When funny things happen one after another, they may not be so funny in the end.
But fear seems to be different. Even if it appears continuously, instead of weakening, it may hit my heart more and more strongly, especially when I think I am safe, the kind of fear that breaks out in a short period of time but suddenly breaks out. , giving me a feeling that life would be worse than death.
Of course I don't want to die. When I was young, my father once told me bloody stories about the anti-Japanese battlefield. I also asked him, aren't you afraid of death in war? My father told me that dying is easy, but living is difficult. If a good man is going to die, he should die in battle. Why should he be wrapped in horse leather? When I was young, I might not understand what it meant to be shrouded in horse leather, but dying in battle seemed to me to be the way a good man should die.
I don’t know if I’m a good man. Although I don’t want to die on the battlefield, I don’t want to be scared to death by the ghost in front of me, because that would be a really useless death. So I didn't have time to think about it, I stretched out my left hand towards that grimace, and slapped out the purple tab on my hand using the popular technique of slapping a scoundrel in a fight.
This blow was a natural reaction that was not controlled by my brain. However, it was this blow with no technical content that hit the landlord's face firmly. Although the touch was almost the same, when I hit it, there was a warm feeling in the slightly purple area of my palm. With this feeling, the landowner's face flashed with sparks.
Since the first time I saw a ghost a while ago, I have gained some experience. So I knew that when such sparks appeared, it meant that it was seriously injured. After the beating, the landlord disappeared quickly, but the low, guttural screams and roars were still surrounding me from east to west. There was a force that I couldn't see at the moment, going crazy in the yard. The rampage not only knocked over the grape trellis in the yard, but even the pickle jar placed beside the bamboo fence was not spared.
Tian Deping was so frightened that he screamed. It was obvious that he had actually seen the scene just now. He was so frightened that he sat on the ground in the main room and kept moving back. I didn't think much about it. Although I was exhausted from fright, Still struggling to get up, he ran towards the door of the house like a desperate man, and then, like a hungry dog grabbing shit, he flew over the threshold and threw himself into the house. The movements were coherent and perfect, exactly the same as when I first jumped out. I think many years later, the hurdler hero who galloped around the field to win the gold medal would give me a thumbs up with joy and shout "Awesome" when he saw my movements at this moment.
After jumping into the house, I quickly stood up and closed the door. When I closed the door, I pressed my right shoulder against the joint of the door and searched for the whereabouts of the door bolt with my hands. I shouted to Tian Deping who was sitting on the ground in fright, turn on the lights! Then come and help me close the door! After saying this, I rubbed the already slightly scarred middle finger of my right hand on the door again, and blood flowed out again. This time, I did not draw a purple tab on the door, but wrote a spell, again and again. Write and recite:
"Lingbao Tianzun, comfort the body. Disciples' souls, five internal organs Xuanming. Blue dragon and white tiger, there are many battles. Suzaku Xuanwu, my true guard. Urgent like law and order!"
Every four characters are written one stroke, and the last stroke of the talisman is a spring-like lift toward the upper right. In Taoist talismans, this means stepping on the hot wheel, which means speeding up. The last part of the incantation is "Urgent as a law". The so-called "Urgent" also means to execute it immediately without delay.
Tian Deping is relatively reliable. After all, there is a wife and daughter in the house, and they are all people he wants to protect. So he turned on the light while I was drawing the talisman, and then helped me hold the door open. Even while I was drawing the talisman, there was still a feeling that someone was banging on the door outside. It was extremely powerful. But when I finished drawing the last stroke of the talisman, although there was still a sound of banging on the door, the door was already closed. I can no longer feel the force of the impact.
This talisman was borrowed from the Purification Charm when it was written. This is a protective spell centered on the caster and space-wide. People with profound knowledge can use this spell to drive away ghosts and ward off evil spirits, but for a small character like me, I don’t practice it much on daily basis. At most, I can only protect the house for the time being, but I don’t know how long it can last. .
I asked Tian Deping, where are your wife and children? Are they injured? Tian Deping said that his wife was fine and woke up with him, but he had not checked his daughter's room yet. I was a little worried, because when I was lying outside to rest, until I rushed into the house, I only saw the ghost of the landowner, but not the little boy. Although I didn't think this child could be very harmful when I heard it from the widow the first day, after all, he has been a wild ghost for many years. People and ghosts have different paths, and some things are unpredictable. If the ghost that I am blocking out the door is the landlord, I can't be sure whether the child's ghost is in the house at this moment, because since I saw half of its head under the threshold, it has never been seen again. Saw it.
Knowing that the door will not be knocked open, I feel a little relieved, because if the door I drew the charm on is knocked open, then I will not struggle. I am no match for it. There is only a dead end. I can't believe suicide. The ghost was able to gain such powerful power in such a short period of time. Without thinking too much, I took Tian Deping and ran to Tian's daughter's room. I found that when Tian Deping came out to check, his wife had already gone into her daughter's room to take care of her. The moment I rushed in, these three women, They all looked at me with particularly frightened eyes, even Tian Xiaofang.
Obviously, although the three women did not witness the scene just now, they knew what was happening based on the movement. The three of them hugged each other and curled up on the bed, all of them with disheveled hair. They looked no better than ghosts. Seeing that they were all fine, I felt relieved. At least everyone is safe now, but since this ghost It has begun to attack regardless of others, which shows that it is urgent to deal with it.
But just to make sure, I asked the mother and daughter if anything strange happened in the house. They looked scared, but they still shook their heads and denied it, so I breathed a sigh of relief. I held the door frame with one hand and put my other hand on my waist, slowly calming down.
At this time, the youngest daughter of the Tian family suddenly screamed and covered her eyes. Her move made me nervous again. Could it be that she saw something? So I quickly asked her what happened, and she hesitated and said, you... why aren't you wearing pants...
Hey, little girl, when did you become blind? Don't talk nonsense! How can I not wear them? These are obviously underwear, okay? While I was quibbling, I felt the wall and slipped back into the room, quickly putting on my clothes.
That night, none of us slept again. There were five people in a room, all crowded into the Tian family's daughter's room. The doors and windows were closed, and the lights were turned on. With the sound of banging on the door coming from the main room, we sat there all night.
Because my toe just hit the threshold, and after I relaxed now, I felt the pain was unbearable. When I took off my shoes and socks, I found that my little finger was almost as swollen as my thumb. There was a dark patch of black under the nail, indicating that although the skin was not broken, bleeding had begun under the skin. The youngest daughter of the Tian family is kind-hearted and kindly applied medicine to me, hoping that my foot odor did not affect her at that time. Because I couldn't confirm whether there was still the ghost of a little boy in this house, and I didn't know whether the landlord who knocked on the door wanted to enter the house and kill us, or because he wanted to take away the little boy in the house. Because under the control of the talisman, nothing from the outside can come in, and nothing from the inside can come out. But I really didn't have the guts to prove it at night. I thought that I would check all of this when it gets light. If the little boy was in the house, I would try to catch the turtle in the jar again.
The night of being frightened and having nothing to do seemed particularly unbearable and almost lifeless, but Tian Xiaofang was surprisingly sober that night. Since she now knew that the landowner was back to claim his life, I did not hide many situations from her. If the soul of a dead person who died due to injustice was seeking revenge, I would naturally not let him succeed. If it cannot succeed, it will not be able to let go of its obsession. For such a ghost, advice is useless, because it will regard any advice as a stumbling block that hinders its revenge, and the only way to deal with stumbling blocks is to ruthlessly remove them.
This was also the question that I thought about the most that night. After I arrived at Tian's house, I was attacked by them twice in a row, which basically showed its strong determination to take revenge. But later I found that I could not find any method taught by Master to let this suicidal ghost walk away in peace and relief. Do you think I only have one choice left? Do you really want me to call in thunder and fire and destroy them by smashing them?
After finally making it to daybreak, the light in the room began to get better. The banging sound outside the door continued, but it was much weaker, but I couldn't tell whether this weakening was because the ambient sound became weaker, or whether it really became weaker. I asked Tian Deping to turn on all the lights in the room to make the light brighter, and I went back to the room to get my bag. Without tools, I could only protect myself at best and could not solve the problem at all.
Because my bag was thrown on the side of the bed against the wall when I went to bed the first night. So I climbed into bed to get my bag, but when I poked my head into the bed, I found a dirty little boy squatting on the side of my sleeping feet - next to my bag. .
Yes, that's the little boy.
