Chapter 51: A Corpse and a Ghost
I pursed my lips and asked aggrievedly, "Master, are you asleep?" Why can't you sleep and don't get up to meditate? I'm so sleepy, but you won't let me sleep? This, that's so unfair, isn't it? ”
The master was confused, and then threw a sentence: "Who made me the master, you are an apprentice, and if you are cranky, be careful that I kick and break your legs......"
Before the words fell, I heard Master's subtle snoring, but whenever I heard this voice, I knew that Master was completely asleep, but he was sleeping too fast, right? It seems that the master has no troubles, saying that he can fall asleep when he falls asleep, and he can wake up when he wakes up, which is really incomprehensible, you must know that the master is looking for the secrets of heaven and earth all over the world, why does it seem to be in a hurry, but he is not in a hurry to do it?
At the very least, you have to act like you can't eat and sleep, right?
But think about it, although the master is only forty or fifty years old, he is already an old man, the Tao is profound, and the cultivation is even more unfathomable. The so-called Taoism is naturally embodied in the master's body.
I don't know why, since I met the flower fairy, I can't calm down every time I meditate, and I can't fall asleep immediately when I sleep, as soon as I calm down or lie down to rest, my mind is full of the figure of the flower fairy, her smile, her coldness, everything, have left a deep imprint in my heart. It lingered, not to mention that I didn't want to forget it at all, and after two hours of reluctantly meditating, it was difficult for me to calm down.
Looking at the moonlight outside, it was almost midday, and it seemed that it was the time of the child. Glancing back at Master and Guzha, they were both sleeping soundly, as if they had long forgotten that I was still meditating and cultivating here.
But Master has already said that I can't sleep tonight and that I have to meditate until dawn, so if I don't continue to meditate now, and just wait for the time to pass little by little, it will pass more slowly, and once I meditate, time will pass in the blink of an eye, and it seems that I only meditated for a while, but when I open my eyes, it has been a long time. Alas, let's go ahead and take a seat.
But I closed my eyes for a long time, and my heart could no longer calm down, maybe because I couldn't reach it quickly, and the more I wanted to be quiet, the more I couldn't be still. Deliberately, but contrary to it, I slowly adjusted my mentality, and slowly put those distracting thoughts behind, but just as I was about to fall into meditation again, there was a slight tremor in the house, and I had just been a little quiet, and I was interrupted in an instant.
Opening my eyes suddenly, I turned my head to look at the staircase, and the glimmer of hope that had just now seemed to come from the big house downstairs.
But the thought of the corpse of Guza's father lying underneath made my heart beat wildly, Master and Guzha were both asleep, and this empty second floor seemed to have no shelter at all, what should I do if the corpse broke through the confinement arranged by Master and ran up?
Once I was scared, let alone meditated, I couldn't even sit still, I swallowed my saliva, my heart kept beating wildly, and I didn't seem to plan to stop for a moment, but at this time, I vaguely heard footsteps again, it was really footsteps! It was very clear, and in the quiet of the night, any sound seemed so clear, and the footsteps seemed to be walking around the big house downstairs.
I'd love to hear it, this, it's the soul of Guza's father, uh! In other words, there's a corpse and a ghost making trouble downstairs right now?!
Although they were originally all one person, they have now been separated into a corpse that is about to become an incorruptible corpse, and a ghost that will turn into a ghost after death. That is to say, there is a period of chaos after death, for example, a person sleeps and just wakes up for a while, he is dazed, he doesn't know anything, he doesn't remember anything, and the ghost who just died, that is, there is this kind of period, chaos, even if he sees his own corpse, he doesn't recognize it.
Then there will be a commotion of a corpse and a ghost downstairs, in case the corpse breaks through the master's confinement, condenses the yin qi again and succeeds, and becomes an unrotten corpse and gets up and beats, it will be really lively.
Thinking about it, I only felt a cool breeze swishing on my back, and at this time, the footsteps downstairs, and the sound of trembling, became more and more frequent.
I was in a cold sweat, and I was in no mood to meditate!
No, I'm going to have to figure out how to make them all stop, yes! I remember that Master walked to the top of the stairs last night and stomped three feet lightly, which shocked the ghost of Guza's father, so I ...... Then I'll try too, and as long as they can stop, I'll meditate and meditate, and I won't open my eyes until dawn. This, this is simply scary......
Gathering my courage, I quietly stood up and glanced back at Master and Guza, both of whom were sleeping soundly, and I guess they couldn't move. I didn't bother to wake up Master again, lest Master see that I didn't continue to meditate and reprimand me, so it would be better for me to solve the problem myself.
Tiptoeing to the staircase, I didn't dare to look down, I directly raised my foot and stomped three times, and sure enough, at the moment of the third stampe, the movement downstairs disappeared instantly, no, no movement! I smiled happily and immediately turned around to continue meditating, but after just a few steps, I couldn't help but stop again and slowly turn around, I was still curious, since there was no movement downstairs, what would be the scene?
Could it be that the ghost of Guza's father is gone? And what about the body of Guza's father? Is it no longer trembling? A bunch of questions clamored me to feel uncomfortable, curiosity was my fatal shortcoming, if I didn't see it for myself, I'm afraid it would be even more difficult for me to sit down and meditate honestly, and after settling down, I decided to go downstairs and have a look.
Anyway, there's no movement now, so it's okay to take a look. After all, it's just a corpse, and it's also imprisoned in the dragon's whisker rope by the master, there won't be any problems, it won't be!
I comforted myself, and then walked down the stairs step by step, the steps were so light that I couldn't even hear myself, and as soon as I walked down a few steps, my heart beat violently, faster and faster, and even immediately from my throat into my mouth, and then out, I gritted my teeth and covered my heart so hard that it didn't beat too violently, and although I comforted myself, I instinctively couldn't control my primal fear......
Finally, after walking the last step, I was standing in the big room on the first floor, as the master had arranged before, the doors and windows were sealed by Guza, but there was still some moonlight, which was refracted through the cracks in the doors and windows, reflecting the dark big room in a dim light, but I could still see something.
I looked around, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, but when I looked over to the place where the body was lying, I was stiff...... I saw a person who looked exactly like the corpse, no, I'm sure it was the ghost of Guza's father, he, he, his face was now pale, blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth and eyes, but those eyes were staring at me directly, at this moment, he was squatting beside the corpse, I was almost paralyzed with fright, and my legs trembled in an instant.
But the horror was not only that, I saw through the moonlight refracted through the cracks in those doors, and I saw that the corpse's eyes were also wide and blood-red at the moment, and it was staring at me like the ghost, staring at me like that......
I felt a choked breath in my throat, I wanted to scream but couldn't scream, I sat down on the stairs with a limp, and then ran up to the second floor trembling all over!
"Whoop Woohoo ......"
Those two pairs of cold and terrifying eyes, like a thorn, pierced deep into my heart, as soon as I closed my eyes, I could clearly see those two pairs of eyes, looking at me at the same time, I gasped, I was covered in a cold sweat, and I could clearly feel that my legs did not obey, convulsions, trembling all the time, but fortunately I climbed up, if I could not move my legs at that time, I was afraid that I would be scared to death below.
It's so scary! After a long time, I cursed secretly in my heart, and then exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath, and then, I shook my two ear scrapers heavily.
It's just self-inflicted...... I waved my hand and wiped a handful of cold sweat, continued to gasp, and leaned against Master's bed, and reluctantly sat down with peace of mind. I thought that the movement downstairs was shaken back by the sound of my footsteps, but I didn't know that they all just stopped below, it seems that my cultivation is still far, far away from Master, and I actually want to shake away all those things like Master.
It's the result of self-incompetence just now, and I don't know why, I've seen a lot of ghosts, I've seen everything, vicious, resentful, and so on, I've seen it with my own eyes, but just now...... In that environment just now, in that kind of atmosphere, it was too weird, first quietly unloaded my inner defense, and then faced my fears, if it was really the encounter of the drum and the gong on weekdays, I couldn't be so embarrassed, and I didn't even know if I would fight.
It's just that I don't want to encounter it a second time. Quiet, empty, dark, lonely and suddenly facing fear, that is something that no one can face, unless it is a person with advanced cultivation like Master, how can I, a little Taoist who is not even half a bucket of water, quickly adjust my mentality?
"Whew!"
After a long time, I slowly calmed down my floating heart, and decided not to care about the movement downstairs, even if the sky fell apart, I would never go down to watch it again. I really don't want to think about it...... But as soon as I thought of this, I heard a trace of movement inexplicably, damn it! This movement can be described as not small, as if something has been broken, and my heart that has just calmed down suddenly rises to my throat again!
