Following the instructions of the ghost in red, I lowered my head honestly and earnestly drew circles. The speed could not be fast or slow. I had to count silently in my heart, one circle, two circle, three circle, until the third. Sixteen laps, after reaching the number of laps prescribed by the red ghost, suddenly a white mist appeared on the ground.
"Hey, what's this stuff?" I was startled by the white mist coming over my face, I jumped up subconsciously and asked the ghost in red.
When I raised my eyes to see the surrounding environment clearly, I was stunned. There was only a little light left on the horizon. Seeing that night was about to fall, I was standing on the edge of a pitted pond. The green pond water exuded a stinky smell, and the surroundings were half people. The tall grass, a winding road not far away, leads to the small town I saw earlier, but it is not too far away.
Looking at the pond in front of me that I don’t know how deep, I shuddered from the bottom of my heart, turned around and turned towards the small road, and at the same time, I felt scared for a while: Ma Dan! What parks, what old people and children, they are all illusions. If it weren't for the help of a red-robed ghost, I would really end my life, and no one would know if he died.
Hurry up and hurry up, I almost used all my strength, and finally when night fell, I entered the small town and watched the familiar neon lights, incandescent lights and other artificial lighting tools light up in the dark, without any reason in my heart. There is a touch of security.
In the eyes of everyone in the town watching the excitement, I first found a small restaurant to eat. Fortunately, the owner of this house is quite fashionable. It supports credit card and mobile payment. I even ate two bowls of noodles before I put down the bowl.
I checked my location through the internet in the store, and found a small hotel nearby to stay.
No words for a night.
Early the next morning, I checked out and went to the station to buy a ticket. The small station did not have a direct bus to return to the city, so I had to make a transfer. Therefore, I didn't return to the city until the 89th store in the evening.
The first thing the old Taoist said when he saw me was: "Your boy's complexion is not very good. Are you sick?"
"No, it's just that things have happened one after another in the past few days. After another ten hours of long-distance bus ride, it's a bit uncomfortable." I shook my head with a wry smile, and then I briefly said about the events of the past few days. Once again, I felt a little heavy head, thinking it was caused by driving for too long, so I washed myself and lay down to rest.
When I was halfway asleep, I dreamed that I was standing in a desert, the sun was in the sky, and the surrounding sky was full of yellow sand. Even the wind was hot. Under the heat wave, I couldn't even open my eyes. I kept on Wiping the sweat, I was very thirsty, and my lips were dry as if I was about to catch fire. I had the illusion that I was about to die of thirst.
Suddenly, a cool spring water appeared out of thin air and poured directly into my mouth. Because I swallowed so quickly, I couldn't help but choke: "Cough cough cough, cough cough cough."
"Drink slowly, drink slowly!" The voice of the old Taoist rang in his ears.
After a blink of an eye, I realized that there is really the face of an old Taoist priest in front of me, with a transparent water glass in my hand, and one hand is helping me pat my chest smoothly, looking around, what desert, what scorching sun, I am lying on the familiar* *.
Patting my face, the old Taoist priest's wrinkled old face leaned over: "Awake? Really sober?"
I pushed him away a little bit. I wanted to roll my eyes, but the headache was so severe that I could only ask him weakly with both hands: "What's the matter? What's the matter with you
What's here? "
"You also asked me what's going on, do you know if you have a fever? You keep shouting'Water! Water!'. Fortunately, I have good hearing and alert people. Otherwise, you still have this ghostly appearance. It's spent in the morning, now, do you want to drink more water?" The old Taoist blew his beard and stared at him, and then passed the cup in his hand.
I touched my forehead, my head is so dizzy now, I can't feel anything, looking at the crystal clear water, I still took it and drank it in one breath.
"Well, whether you wake up, I was still worried just now. It would not be a good thing to let you burn it like this. It just happens that you wake up, do you still have the strength to walk?" Taking the empty cup, the old Taoist touched it. Touched my forehead, with concern in his tone.
I tried it, although my limbs are a little soft, walking is not a problem.
So the old Taoist took my wallet, took me out, and stopped a night taxi to a nearby hospital.
The taxi driver was a little hesitant when he saw my face. He heard that it was only a fever, so he stepped on the accelerator and rushed us into the gate of the hospital.
The road at night was normal, but within five minutes, I was taken into the emergency room by the old Taoist priest.
The doctor on duty was good, maybe because there was no one tonight. After a quick check, he frowned and opened his lips, but said nothing. A thermometer was still in my mouth. .
Even if my mind is not clear right now, the doctor's reaction is a bit strange. I am still thinking about it, and the old Taoist next to me has already asked directly.
"Doctor, isn't this kid just having a fever? Is it possible that he has got some serious illness? If you have anything you can say, we can bear it." The old Taoist waved his hand anxiously, indicating that he was in a good state of mind.
The doctor smiled and said, "Uncle, you have misunderstood. I just think this young man's situation is a bit strange, but I'm not sure yet. When the body temperature comes out, let's talk about it. Oh, yes, you go first. Pay the fee, and I'll do a full-body check on him later." As he said, he pointed his finger at the opposite hall.
The old Taoist took a look, I waved at him, motioned him to go to work, and then lay halfway in the ill, narrowed his eyes, lethargic.
After a while, it seemed that the old Taoist priest came back. I felt that the thermometer in my mouth was taken away, and I opened my eyes.
The doctor's brow furrowed deeper, and he stretched out his hand to give the old Taoist next to him a look, and the old Taoist's brows also wrinkled.
What's the situation
I looked at the two people in front of me in a daze. Before I had time to ask, I was dragged by the doctor to do a full-body examination, and finally started the infusion.
Tossing till dawn, instead of retreating my high fever, there was a faint upward trend. At this time, my examination report came out. I saw the old Taoist taking the doctor to the side and muttering for a while, and then took me away directly. hospital.
When I returned to my residence, I couldn't help it, and dragged the old Taoist priest to ask, "What the hell is going on with the results of the inspection? Can you explain to me? Is it really a serious illness?"
The old Taoist sighed, sat on the sofa, and asked me to sit down together, before opening his mouth: "Things are not what you think. In fact, judging from the results of the examination, your body is not
What's the big problem? Even, your current situation can be said to be not a fever. "
This made me confused: "Master, please make it clear, I don't understand."
"To put it simply, your current situation is not because of illness, but because of being surrounded by evil spirits. I didn't notice it at first. I didn't guess this possibility until I saw the test result. So , After coming back just now, I secretly confirmed it with a compass, it is true." The old Taoist said, showing his hand, there was a small and exquisite compass.
After opening my mouth, I thought about it, and said, "You just need to get rid of such things as evil spirits, but you seem to be worried, Master?"
"Did you kid forget that the old Taoist injury on my body hasn't recovered, so there is no way to make my debut?" The old Taoist rolled his eyes and said angrily.
I'll go and forget about it!
Looking at the old Taoist dumbfounded, I subconsciously asked: "So, what do you do now? Master, do you know any other seniors?"
"How about getting to know them? Where can I find them at the meeting for a while?" The old Taoist stalled his hands and made a helpless move. Seeing that I was about to cry, he paused and said, "But what, I have a way to temporarily help you suppress the evil spirits in you."
"Can suppress it! That's okay, hurry up, let's start." My eyes lit up, and I immediately urged. This is also a way, it's better than my dizziness now.
The old Taoist did not say anything this time, he immediately took action. Soon, I felt my body temperature dropped, and the feeling of irritability was small, and the whole person suddenly felt a lot easier.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the old Taoist priest said: "Okay, there is no problem for the time being. If you are not old enough, I suggest you go find a Buddhist temple, such as a temple, and wait until I recover, or Find a way to get rid of the evil spirit, helper, and then go to you."
After thinking about it, I could only agree to this decision. I found a more famous temple that day, donated a large sum of sesame oil money, and was able to live in the backyard of the temple.
The first day, I slept very peacefully, almost until dawn. Get up refreshed, and after a vegetarian meal, ran back to the room to play games.
But a strange thing happened the next night. After midnight, there was a sound of howling ghosts and wolves outside. Accompanied by the whirring wind, the curtains blew loudly.
For night owls who often stay up late, they are always more curious than others. What's more, I seem to smell some strange and familiar smells from the wind, like a cat's paw scratching on the heart. .
With the flashlight, I put on a coat, did not turn off the light, then opened the door and went out.
Huhu. call. Huhu. As soon as I left the door, a strong wind hung over. I was caught off guard and took a step backwards. I quickly grabbed the threshold and closed the door.
"Strange, why is there a heavy yin in this wind?" I habitually took out the compass I carried, and saw the pointer on it turning around like drunk, I couldn't help but whispered. .
However, this also gave me a hint. I walked in the direction of Yin for a while and found a window sealed by wooden slats. I peeped in through the gap for a while, and my eyes widened instantly. It was actually a place for refining sorcery.
