Zhang Heping is a child after all. Although the Bagua Mirror is not a toy, after hearing what I said, he still reached out and took it. I told him that the sunken place is a magical mirror that can reflect your appearance differently from ordinary mirrors.
After saying this, I watched his movements closely. Just when he pointed the mirror at himself, the originally peaceful child suddenly let go as if frightened, and the Bagua Mirror fell to the stool. Then suddenly, he became furious, stood up, and rushed towards me. Although I was already prepared, I didn't expect him to pounce so quickly, so I could only use my long hands to take two steps back, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhang Heping's armpits and hugged him. got up.
A child over 8 years old is no longer young. Picking him up was just to get his feet off the ground. Without a point of support, he couldn't move further. But even so, his hands kept grabbing at my arms, and his feet began to kick around. His face was ferocious and his mouth made a series of biting movements, as if he wanted to eat me.
Captain Li and the child's mother outside the door heard the noise and rushed in. The child's father seemed to think that I was going to hurt the child, so he suddenly snatched Zhang Heping from my hand, put one hand under his armpit and hugged him, and pushed me hard with the other hand. While pushing, he yelled, "What are you doing? You!"
This is what is called, if you guess the beginning, you can't guess the ending. The child's father is strong and strong, and I was unprepared for his push and fell to the ground. I saw that he seemed to want to rush up and beat me up, so I quickly said, brother, don’t get me wrong, I am helping your child!
Before I finished speaking, Zhang Heping, who was being held, suddenly bit his father's hand holding him hard. After the child's father was bitten, he let go of his hand, so Zhang Heping jumped to the ground and rushed towards me again like crazy. This time I couldn't avoid it. Although a child's hands and feet are fast, hitting and kicking people won't be particularly painful after all. What I was afraid of was him biting me, so I saw him fall on me and want to bite me. My face, I suddenly put my palms together, grabbed Zhang Heping's left and right cheeks, and lifted his head up hard so that he could neither bite my face nor my hands.
During the fight, I only heard the screams of the child's mother. In a daze, I saw the child's father seemed to be trying to rush over to deal with me again. I yelled: Your child has been possessed by something else! Quickly find a towel to cover his mouth! !
I shouted very loudly, which can be regarded as saving myself, because if the father of the child hits me again, I will probably be bitten by Zhang Heping's madness. Fortunately, after hearing my cry, Captain Li stopped the child's father, and the child's mother quickly ran to another room and found a pillow towel. I asked her to twist the pillowcloth into a twine shape and then stretch it over the child's mouth that wanted to bite me.
After cleaning it up for a long time, the child's mouth was blocked. Although the other party was a child, the stalemate for so long made my hands very sore. I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but when I held a peaceful face just now, I seemed to see something strange from his fierce eyes. That thing looked a little different from the eyes of normal people, as if Rather scattered. But because I was quite panicked at the time, when I thought about it again, I didn’t know if it really happened.
After the child's mother covered her mouth with a pillow towel, she went around it and tied a knot on the back of her head. At this time, the child's father had calmed down a little, so together with Captain Li, each took one of the child's hands and pulled the child a little further away from me.
My hands were so sore that I relaxed a little at this moment. I slowly got up and told Captain Li that I might need to find a rope to tie the child to the stool. The child's father was still unyielding to me, so I said to him, I don't care about you just now. If you touch me again, I will deal with you.
I said this coldly, but it was actually a bit of a bluff. After all, even if his father stops me from saving my child, I still have to save him. Because the child's situation is really not optimistic.
The reason why I gave him the Bagua Mirror just now was to induce him to shine on himself. In fact, the Bagua Mirror was used as a demon mirror in ancient times. Different from ordinary mirrors, the mirror surface of Bagua Mirror is a concave part of a spherical surface, but it is very polished. Coupled with the blessing of the surrounding Bagua power, the concave part forms a light-gathering function. This kind of concentrated light after blessing has a very wide range of uses. It can be used to bless and consecrate objects, and it can also be used to make demons and ghosts recognize themselves and bring them into being.
It seems that my speculation is not false. The Heping body is not his own soul at the moment, at least it is not just his own soul. The attack on me just now was precisely because of this thing that occupied his body and saw his true appearance in the mirror. It's like many people come to praise you for your good looks and beauty every day, but one day you suddenly When you meet me, I tell you that you are actually very ugly. Such a contrast would make anything, whether human or ghost, unbearable.
I patted the dust off my body. At this moment, Captain Li had tied Zhang Heping to the stool according to my instructions. I told them that they could take off the pillow cover from Zhang Heping's mouth now, but be careful not to get bitten.
Zhang Heping was tied to the stool and could not move, but his eyes were still looking at me fiercely. It was a feeling of extreme hatred, because his nose and eyebrows were squeezed in between each other due to anger, and wrinkles formed on the bridge of his nose. I feel a little baffled in my heart. Regardless of whether this guy is a human or a ghost, today is the first time I have met him. It’s okay if you say we don’t like each other. Why do you hate me so much? But I quickly thought that maybe it was because of the Bagua Mirror that the things in his body knew what I was here for, and in this way, they regarded me as an enemy.
I called Captain Li and the child's mother outside the door, and then closed the door. Because at this moment I think it might be better for Zhang Heping not to see me. The child's mother was sobbing, and she seemed to blame me a little. It feels like saying that when you didn't come, the child was just indifferent and nothing else happened, but after you came, the child suddenly went crazy. I was too lazy to explain so much to her, so I interrupted her complaint and said, I don’t know where the child disappeared from on the day he disappeared, but you should know the place where he was found.
She nodded, and I said that while it was only noon, take me there to have a look. I need to find some clues to know what caused your child to look like this, so that I can save him. The child's mother was still crying, so I told her, you have to think clearly, this is your child. I came here for Captain Li's sake. Now that I know about it, I have to save him. It seems that the soul in your son's body is definitely not his own, but I'm going to go to the bamboo forest to look for it. If his soul is neither in the bamboo forest nor in the body, then I really forgive my incompetence, and so do you. We can only prepare funeral arrangements as soon as possible.
I didn't mean to scare her, but it was the truth. Even if I use brute force to destroy the things in Zhang Heping's body at this moment, the child's body will be an empty shell. The physiological functions will slowly shrink and become disordered, and death will be a matter of time.
So the child's mother planned to take me to a bamboo forest. Before leaving, she specifically told the child's father to take good care of the child and never let go. In order to help us go faster, Captain Li took advantage of his position to go to the village's production brigade and borrowed the only "Dongfanghong tractor" in the village. With Captain Li as the driver and the child's mother as the navigator, we drove toward the bamboo forest ten miles north, amidst the clack of the tractor and the curious looks of the villagers.
The invention of mechanical tools can indeed improve the efficiency of work. This makes me secretly set a goal. In the future, I will definitely build a tractor like this, so that I can save time on the way to work. The tractor can only drive to the foot of the bamboo forest slope, but the bamboo forest is in the middle half of the hill. It is said to be a small mountain, but it is densely covered with mountains. If you want to find someone in this forest, you really won't be able to find him without some luck. Fortunately, the child's mother was one of the people who came to the scene that day, and she was able to remember the child's location more accurately.
After walking into the bamboo forest for more than ten minutes, as the bamboos became denser, the surrounding environment became darker and darker. Bamboo in the south is evergreen all year round, and there are more wild ones. Mountain people have the habit of digging bamboo shoots. Every spring, many people come to dig bamboo shoots. The child's mother took me to a relatively dense forest, then looked around, and finally pointed at a few bamboos as thick as arms and told me that this is it. The child was huddled in this pile of bamboos.
I looked at this place carefully and found that there was actually about a foot wide distance between the bamboos. This meant that Zhang Heping would not have been able to get in if he hadn't constantly adjusted his body angle. That proves that he walked here by himself and then fell asleep.
This shows that whether it is the ghost in Zhang Heping's body or his own soul that controls Zhang Heping's body, if I light the incense of soldiers and horses at this moment, I will definitely find the trace!
