C27 False alarm
What was "Wall-Hitting Ghost"?
The old man from the village said that it was a dark night and he couldn't see his hands in front of him. If you took the short cut or the short cut and went home, there would be an insurmountable wall in front and behind him. It was only a few hundred meters away, but where did it go? Go, go. You can't even walk for two or three hours. It turned out that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get out of that "strange circle".
Even if the "road" held by the "wall" had holes in it and rivers, it would still "forge ahead bravely" until it fell into a deep pit and died, then it would fall into the river alive and drown. Therefore, many people were directly killed by the "ghost wall", which the people called the "ghost wall", also known as the "ghost wall".
If I really encounter such a situation, Grandfather would also tell me the solution. I mustn't panic, I mustn't focus, open my eyes wide, and clearly see everything around me that can serve as a reference, if I continue to walk, if I really can't leave, then I'll stay where I am, not leaving at all. At dawn, this Wall-Hitting Ghost will break by himself, and this is also the best way to protect myself.
But I can't stay in the same place with Fang Ziyan tonight, because Zhuang Zige is still waiting by the sarcophagus.
"Zuo Shisan, what do we do? Did we encounter a ghost … Did she hit the wall with a ghost? " Fang Ziyan looked at me warily as she asked.
"I told you not to follow, but you wouldn't listen. Are you scared now?" "No," I said.
"Humph!" I'm not scared. I'm just asking you what you should do if you encounter a ghost wall. Aren't you Daoist Master Qingfeng's disciple? This Wall-Hitting Ghost shouldn't be too difficult for you, right? " Fang Ziyan looked at me with expectation.
"That's … that's only natural. It won't be difficult for me if it's just a mere Wall-Hitting Ghost." As I spoke, I took out the < < Encyclopedia of Maoshan Tao Techniques > > that I had been carrying with me. Daoist Master Qingfeng has everything in his bag, and this is the only book I have with me.
After opening the < Encyclopedia of Maoshan Tao Technique >, I used my flashlight to look around to see if there was any Dao Techniques to break this Wall-Hitting Ghost.
Fang Ziyan asked me:
"Zuo Shisan, why do I feel that you are unreliable?
I didn't answer Fang Ziyan, instead, I found the catalog and started to look through it one by one. Sure enough, I found the title of the Wall-Hitting Ghost on the second page.
He started to read seriously, and what was written in the book was:
"When people close their eyes or when they are in the night or in the suburbs, there is a subtle difference in the length of their feet. After that, people will fall into a circle with a radius of about 3km. In this case, do not panic, because this is not the work of a ghost, but rather the unwitting haziness of a person.
You could explain it this way, blindfold a wild duck and throw it into the sky, and it starts to fly, but if it's an open sky, you'll find it must be a circle that flies out.
If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself and cover your eyes. On the school field, walk in a straight line with your feelings and ask your friends to take pictures. In the end, you also found out that you walked around in a big circle.
In a word, the essence of biological motion is circular motion. Without an objective, the instinctive movement of any living being is a circle.
All of this can be done on one's own, and it's absolutely true. "
Seeing how the < < Encyclopedia of Maoshan Dao Techniques > > fully explained the phenomenon of the Wall-Hitting Ghost, I immediately heaved a sigh of relief. So there wasn't really some kind of demon behind this, it seems the < Encyclopedia of Maoshan Dao Techniques > was quite comprehensive, with everything written on it.
I continued to read, and the next thing I saw was how to solve the problem of "Wall-Hitting Ghost":
One, you can determine the direction of the North Star by its position and watch it go.
Second, when you leave, pay more attention to the objects by the roadside.
Three, step on the Seven Stars Steps to be able to walk out.
Fourth, the dumbest method is to stay where you are until dawn.
After seeing this, I closed the < < Encyclopedia of Maoshan Tao Techniques > > and raised my head to look at the stars in the sky. Luckily the weather was good, the stars were bright.
The North Star was also easy to find. The brightest star in the northern part of the night sky was the North Star.
"I know how to break this Wall-Hitting Ghost. Follow me." I said to Fang Ziyan before following the North Star in the sky to the north side of the village where we were heading towards the sarcophagus.
After walking for a while, Fang Ziyan pointed to the field in front of them and said:
"Look, Thirteen, we came out."
"Yes." I replied and quickened my pace to walk towards the back of the field. The sarcophagus was located in the middle of a wasteland not far away from me.
When Fang Ziyan and I arrived near the sarcophagus, we didn't see the Zhuang Zige!
My heart tightened. Looking at that strange and terrifying sarcophagus, I suddenly had a bad premonition. I hastily shouted in all directions:
"Zhuang Zige! Zhuang Zige! Zhuang Zige! …. "
No one answered me, except for the whisper of the wind.
"Thirteen, who are you calling?" Fang Ziyan's face was pale as he asked while looking at me.
Seeing her expression, I then realised that Fang Ziyan did not know that the Zhuang Zige was here, so it would be strange if she was not afraid when she saw me shouting at the sarcophagus.
"I called a big brother from the village. Originally, I stayed here with him to look at this sarcophagus. I went back to the village to borrow a lighter, then he disappeared when I came back." I explained to Fang Ziyan, my heart becoming even more anxious.
When I said the word "lighter", I immediately thought of the life saving incense I gave Zhuang Zige. If there was no fire to ignite the firewood, then if there was any danger, how could Zhuang Zige ignite the incense?!
I'm just f * cking dumb! How could he ignore such a serious problem? Had Zhuang Zige really encountered something?
I don't dare to think about it any longer.
"Zhuang Zige, are you there?!" I shouted at the sarcophagus.
There was still no reply. Looking at that weird sarcophagus, my heart was completely filled with cold sweat.
"Thirteen, did you say that the Zhuang Zige was afraid and ran back to the village alone?" Fang Ziyan looked around and said to me.
I shook my head, and said to Fang Ziyan with certainty:
"Although I have not known Zhuang Zige for long, I am certain that he would definitely not go back on his own. He is not that kind of person."
"What about him? Don't tell me that the sarcophagus … " When Fang Ziyan said till this point, he knew that he had made a mistake. He hurriedly covered his mouth and did not continue speaking.
In our village, there is a popular saying, "During the day you don't talk about people, but at night you don't talk about ghosts", which means that during the day, you shouldn't talk about other people's affairs behind their backs, because during the day, people you know will be by your side, while at night, ghosts come and go.
This was the meaning behind 'disaster comes from the mouth'.
"Come, let's go look around." I said as I prepared to bring Fang Ziyan to search around the vicinity of the sarcophagus. If anything were to happen to the Zhuang Zige, I would blame myself to death.
Just when Fang Ziyan and I was about to go behind the sarcophagus and search for someone, a black shadow suddenly walked out from behind the sarcophagus.
This shadow that suddenly came out from behind the sarcophagus caused me to stop in my tracks in fright. Fang Ziyan who was behind me immediately shouted out in fear and pulled on my arm.
Could it be that his mother from the sarcophagus had come out?!
Thinking about this, my leg and stomach almost cramped up to the front, while retreating with Fang Ziyan, I shakily took out the "Corpse Fixation Symbol" that Daoist Qingfeng gave me from my pocket and tightly gripped it in my hands.
At the same time, the dark figure walked up to the sarcophagus. The flashlight in my hand was just enough to light him up.
I never thought it would be him!
"Zhuang …" Zhuang Zige? …. " I could clearly see that the black figure that walked out from behind the sarcophagus was the Zhuang Zige's back. He was shocked at first, but then he was pleasantly surprised!
"What's the matter, brother?" What are you afraid of? " Zhuang Zige looked at Fang Ziyan and I and shouted in confusion.
I stared at the Zhuang Zige and looked through the entire process. Only after I confirmed that the person in front of me was the Zhuang Zige did I heave a sigh of relief. Looking at him, I said:
"I say Zhuang Zige, what were you doing behind the sarcophagus? I told you not to speak for such a long time, but you walked out without saying a word. As I was speaking, I deliberately shone the flashlight on Zhuang Zige's body. When I discovered that there was a shadow, the last bit of worry in my heart was finally dispelled.
Because I was brought up to hear from the village elders that ghosts do not exist.
"Oh, I was too impatient waiting for you just now. I fell asleep while lying behind the sarcophagus …" Zhuang Zige scratched his head and said.
Hearing his words, I almost fell to the ground. I was by the side of a sarcophagus with two Corpse Transformation corpses, how strong must my mental state be to be able to fall asleep?!
I can't do it, not even if I'm beaten to death.
"Who is that girl behind you?" Zhuang Zige looked at Fang Ziyan behind me and asked.
"She's my classmate, Fang Ziyan. This is Zhuang Zige, the person I was looking for just now."
After Fang Ziyan and Zhuang Zige got to know each other, the three of us lit up the pile of firewood on the ground and surrounded them. After the firewood was lit, the Zhuang Zige sat back down either intentionally or unintentionally and asked me:
"Hey bro, why did you go back so long? You're only back now? "
I don't know why, but ever since I came back, this Zhuang Zige's way of addressing me had changed from Daoist to old brother, but this way of addressing me was even more amiable. I didn't think much of it, so I told Zhuang Zige about our encounter with the "Wall-Hitting Ghost" thing from start to finish.
