"Such a big bowl..." Aguan looked at the dirty sea bowl in Agu's hand and secretly said something bad. On someone else's territory, with so many eyes watching, it was impossible to dump it secretly like the previous two times.
His mother handed him a stick of incense, and Aguan took it, bowed absentmindedly twice, and casually put it on the incense burner. A strong stench hit his nostrils. Aguan was almost nauseated by the weird smell, but he still rubbed his nose and endured it.
On the other side, Agu took out a black talisman, lit it with a candle, muttered something, put the talisman into a bowl and stirred it. Then without saying a word, he coldly walked towards Aguan holding the bowl of still smoking talisman water.
Before the bowl arrived, the stench had already hit me. Different from the pungent smell of burning incense, this talisman water was filled with the smell of rotting corpses. Aguan was so frightened that Aguan broke out in a cold sweat when he saw that Agu had come to him and smelled the stench of the talisman water.
"Lower your head!" Agu stretched out her hand to pinch the back of Aguan's neck, pushed his head down, then placed her hand on his head, muttering in her mouth.
Agu read quickly and her enunciation was unclear. Aguan could only understand a little bit. The general idea was that since Aguan recognized Mr. Shunde as his godfather, he had to wholeheartedly believe in the oath-like words of Mr. Shunde.
After Agu finished reading, she brought the bowl to Aguan and said coldly: "After you drink it all, kneel down and kowtow three times, and you will be the deeded son of Duke Shunde."
Aguan blushed and looked at Agu and then at his mother. Yue'e looked expectantly, and all the brothers and sisters were also excited.
He looked at the bowl of talisman water again. In addition to the black juice, there were also piles of rotten things in it. He couldn't tell what they were, but the legs and wings of a few insects were very conspicuous.
"I..." Aguan was a little dizzy from the stench. He took a step back and said with an embarrassed face, "Uh... I... can I not drink this?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Aguan saw everyone in the temple open their mouths and looking at him in surprise.
Yue'e hurriedly grabbed Aguan: "What did you say?"
"What... is here? Why are there these strange things? And... why do you suddenly want me to be the godson of Duke Shunde?" Aguan asked.
"These are all the sacred objects of Duke Shunde, and they are all medicines given by Duke Shunde. Don't be afraid! Drink it quickly!" Yue'e said, pulling Agu, while explaining to Agu: "It's evil, Agu! My son He was discharged from the hospital yesterday, and his mind is a little unclear... He is willing to be the wife of Mr. Shunde!"
Auntie's face was expressionless and she didn't say a word.
Seeing that his mother's tone had turned urgent, Aguan felt a little panicked. He shook his mother's arm and shouted, "Mom, how did you become like this? What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me! Drink the talisman water quickly! Kowtow to Lord Shunde! Hurry!" Yue'e took the bowl of talisman water from Auntie's hand and was about to put it to Auntie's mouth.
"I don't want to drink this!" Aguan turned his head in shock and pushed the bowl away.
Pound—Wan Gong was smashed into pieces on the ground.
Aguan let the thick black talisman water splash on his feet, and strange slime fragments and residues were scattered all over the floor, and some insect-like things were still squirming slowly.
Everyone was stunned. Aguan stepped back repeatedly, shaking his feet for fear that the dirty talisman water would penetrate his pants and get on his skin.
"You kid!" Aguan's mother screamed.
Several fellow apprentices also stood up, pointed at Aguan and cursed: "Damn you!"
"what you do!"
Ah Qian was very frightened and said to Yue'e tremblingly: "Mom, you... let's go home, okay, let's go to the hospital..."
"Which hospital are you going to?" Yue'e screamed and rushed towards Aguan. She was met with a slap, which hit Aguan's face firmly, and then hit Aguan again and again, like raindrops, on Aguan's shoulders and arms. Aguan protected his head and face with his hands and backed away.
More brothers and sisters stood up and scolded Aguan loudly. Aguan's mind went blank, and he turned around and ran towards the temple gate. A middle-aged man with a beer belly stopped in front of Aguan and refused to let him go. Aguan couldn't care so much, so he pushed the uncle hard, pushing the uncle into the black and moldy red temple door, and heard the uncle scream loudly.
Aguan escaped from the temple and ran in embarrassment, with his mother's screams and the scoldings of believers heard behind him. He kept running, his mind buzzing, and he couldn't understand what had just happened. When I think of the stench of sewage that is as thick as rice-treasure porridge, it is not difficult to understand the expressions of the doctors and nurses when they saw my mother.
Aguan's chest hurt from running and his legs were sore. Then he slowed down and looked around. He had already run several streets away.
"What a ghost temple..." Aguan held on to a telephone pole on the side of the road, gasping for air, looking up at the sky, hesitating in his heart and not knowing what to do. He was afraid of meeting his mother when he returned home, but he didn't have any relatives or friends. Please help, my mother is his only relative in the world.
He walked in despair, and as he walked, he found that he had unconsciously walked to the convenience store where he worked before.
The store manager hired a new person, a cheerful boy. Aguan looked inside through the glass window of the store and saw Lin Shan talking and laughing with the cheerful new clerk, and felt a little lonely.
He originally wanted to go in and buy a can of drinks and say hello to Lin Shan, but at this moment his interest was waning. He felt that he would never be a match for Lin Shan, so why bother asking for trouble.
He sighed and turned to leave, but bumped into the person behind him. He apologized profusely, but was also surprised that this person was standing so close to him without him noticing.
Aguan covered his nose and looked carefully. The man in front of me looked quite old, with deep wrinkles covering his face and forehead. He had a long gray beard and was wearing a large black windbreaker.
It was the old man in the previous dream.
"I...I, I...I haven't woken up yet...I'm still dreaming?" Aguan backed away in surprise until he pressed his body against the glass display window of the convenience store, muttering to himself.
The old man put a hand on Aguan's shoulder. Aguan felt that all the strength in his body suddenly disappeared and he could not move.
The old man spoke slowly: "It was a dream last time, but not now."
Ah Xian was scared and murmured, "Who are you?"
The old man sneered and said: "Last time I only told you half of it and you woke up. Qiucao Wa'er's dream control technique is too troublesome. I don't have the patience. I want to explain it clearly directly."
As the old man spoke, he pointed to the sky and said slowly: "Look what that is."
The surroundings suddenly darkened, and a black shadow enveloped the entire land. Aguan looked in the direction the old man was pointing, and saw a huge dark red sphere hanging in mid-air, covering most of the sky. I saw that the sphere kept spinning and slowly descending, getting closer and closer to the ground, as if it was about to engulf the entire city.
It was the big ball from the previous dream.
Aguan's shoulders suddenly relaxed, and the old man disappeared for some reason. He fell to the ground and moved his hands and feet. Looking at the big dark red ball exuding an unusual atmosphere of terror, the surroundings were horribly reflected by the red light it emitted.
The old man's words flashed through Aguan's mind - the ugliest, darkest and most corrupt things in the world are all in that thing...
He noticed that there was a particularly eye-catching red area on the huge sphere in the sky, which was somewhat different from the red and black surrounding it. The big red spot was as red as blood, and he even smelled a thick, putrid smell of blood.
Aguan wanted to run away, but his feet were nailed to the ground as if they had roots, and he couldn't move. Looking around, the passers-by seemed to be doing nothing, minding their own business.
The big dark red ball kept falling, and was about to hit several taller buildings in the city. The sharp lightning rod on the top of one of the buildings was facing the big red spot on the ball.
Five meters, three meters, one meter... As soon as the dark red sphere touched the lightning rod, it slowed down. The building was inserted into the blood-red area, and the walls and windows exposed outside the sphere began to rot. It turned black and grew strange and disgusting vines.
The blood-red area was constantly squirming, as if hundreds of millions of earthworms were trying to crawl out. Suddenly, Aguan felt that the whole big ball began to shake, and cracks appeared on the ball one after another.
Then, the huge sphere exploded in the air, like a huge blood-red terrifying firework.
Aguan let the shocking power of the big sphere explode and fell to the ground. He protected his head with his hands, feeling something horrible and disgusting coming down like a torrential rain all over his body.
