Chapter 111: Strange People and Strange Things in the Grapefruit Garden
Uncle Luo's words naturally made me understand something, and when I saw that he seemed to be in a good mood, I wondered if I should ask some questions. The first thing that came to mind www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion was naturally the spell in the old spell book. Although it was only our family's collection, and it may even be my uncle's later collection, I still had a bit of luck in my heart.
The reason why I didn't ask my uncle and grandfather was because I was afraid that my uncle and grandfather would remember something. These books have been in his hands for a long time, and he may not have read and studied them, but according to the fact that he is also a sailor, it is inevitable that he must have read them. If it is really a leftover ancient book, it must be recycled. So because I had a little selfishness, I kept it in my heart.
Actually, I always wanted to ask Uncle Luo, but then I realized that Uncle Luo had taught me some things, including reciting some mantras. But according to his own words, the cultivation methods of these mantras and some of the things used have not yet been taught. Strictly speaking, I haven't even entered the threshold at all. Even if you have participated in a few practices, it is also the same as ordinary people.
When it's time to learn these spells on your own, you can ask them sideways. Now it seems that I don't need to rush for a while, as long as I wait for the right time, these may come naturally.
Later, I thought about the slow boxing he taught, and the last time I came back from school, I really helped myself once. I thought that I had only used it once, and it was inexplicably easier to use. Actually, I didn't know the effect at the time, it was just an instinctive reaction. Later, when I got home, I thought that maybe it really worked, but I didn't know how to use it yet.
Because I thought of that time, when Uncle Luo was in the cinema, Luo Gangshan and the people of Xiangjia Village were fighting, and he rushed over to deal with it. I was standing in the screening room, and I could see it clearly. I've been dreaming that the person who was going to be myself that day. You can be like an immovable needle in the crowd, or like a knife that splits the wind and waves, and you can be invincible.
I impulsively wanted to ask him if he could use it to fight with people. But immediately I thought of my grandfather's usual teachings, even if I learned it useful, but I thought that Uncle Luo's intention was not to want me to use it for fighting, and I suddenly lost my mind.
But I immediately thought of another thing, that is, since I followed Uncle Luo to Wanfu Pavilion last time, I really felt that I was inexplicable, and I was invisibly bolder. I've never mentioned it to anyone, but now I think of that burnt hand, and I don't shudder as much as I used to.
It's like in the afternoon, when he and Yonghui went to the back mountain and encountered that kind of weird thing, everything happened so suddenly. Although I was scared, we kept coming down smoothly, which made me not as good as I used to be. At that time, I even felt the coldness in the air, but I did not scare my legs, which I could not have imagined before.
I was a little nervous and a little cramped, but I still said it in a whisper, I wondered what the reason was, or if I was just holding on to my feelings.
Uncle Luo obviously asked me about this suddenly, and for the first time he actually showed a contemplative demeanor. I don't know if he didn't want to deceive me, but after he drank two cups of tea in a row, he slowly came back to his senses, and when he looked at me, I actually found that he was really smiling. This made me feel a little soothed, and the whole person was naturally not so nervous.
"You feel like there's something in the world that scares you the most!" Uncle Luo actually smiled, looked at me quietly, and then waited for me to answer.
I was stunned for a moment, and I really didn't know how to answer this question. Seeing my grandfather nodding at me, I couldn't help but think of a lot, but it seems that all this is a little vague now.
What am I afraid of?
Snakes, rats, dogs, and even more vicious people, I was afraid when I was a child.
But Uncle Luo obviously doesn't want to know this, I have heard many legends about him, and I have even been close to him for the past two months. The mysterious aura on his body is not something that ordinary villagers can explain. He is also an ordinary person, looking indistinguishable from any middle-aged to old man. Although I live in a big city like a provincial capital, I obviously have some differences from the dress of the villagers, but my thoughts and tone are the same simple.
But I know that what makes him special is the mystery in him. This mystery is what I am in awe of, because he often deals with the dead.
A person who constantly deals with the dead is indeed terrifying. It is not this dead person who is terrifying, but it is said that every dead person is special because they are something that we ordinary people do not see, or an object that is taken away.
What is this?
It should be the ghost that ordinary people say!
I think I'm afraid of ghosts!
Although adults talk about ghosts, the relatives around me are also talking about ghosts! But I don't think there are many people who have seen ghosts!
I'm not sure if anyone around me has seen it, but I think of the thin feet that died young, as well as Xiaohua's father, and of course, the cousins who promote the Tang Renfeng. These people are all from the village, and even I have seen the parishioner, who has followed the thin feet. But after they died, I think no one would ever see them, because according to the old man, they had become ghosts.
But there has always been a question that has puzzled me, that is, where have all these ghosts gone?
No adult has ever explained it to me, and I don't think these adults know either. And today Uncle Luo is sitting here, he is a person with a special identity, and I am actually a little excited.
I couldn't help but think about it and said slowly: "In the past, whenever I saw a dark place, I would be scared, as if something would come out of there at any time!" Later, I heard that there are ghosts in this world, and although I have never seen those things, I feel scared just thinking about them! I paused, then said, "I wonder if I'm scared of this?" ”
"It's human nature! That's what everyone thinks! Uncle Luo said lightly: "There are two problems here that you said, if you want to explain it clearly and carefully, I can only tell you that there are many I can't figure it out!" His expression seemed to be reminiscing about something, and I didn't dare to disturb his train of thought. Looking at him and continuing: "But to put it simply, you can know better than others! ”
I nodded and motioned to listen, and my grandfather was a little surprised on the side, presumably he hadn't heard of this either.
"Everyone knows that there are ghosts in the world, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to some reasons and things, everyone's thinking has changed, and everyone is not even allowed to talk about ghosts and gods, so there is a whole generation of people who have taken the initiative to forget some things and do not believe in them. But what exists in this world, don't you believe in it? When Uncle Luo said this, he actually sighed softly.
"It seems that only one generation is affected, but because of this concept, they can directly entangle one generation, and even continue to influence the next generation!" Uncle Luo's tone was a little embarrassed: "There is a saying that evil does not prevail over good, no matter what, under the action of all people, there is righteousness everywhere in the world, and those evil spirits are frightened." But no one dares to say no, because there are many things in this world that so-called science cannot explain! ”
"It's hard to say good or bad about gains and losses, and it's always been like this!" Seeing that Uncle Luo was speaking very slowly and pausing from time to time, Grandpa said a few words: "Xiaohe, this kid is not stubborn, I hope to tell the full truth, he can listen and believe some in the future!" ”
"These things are there! There were, there were, and there will be. However, if you really learn, what you have to bear and shoulder, it will be incomprehensible to ordinary people! Take your time! You can exercise your body first, and then you can figure it out, and you can learn these things from me! Uncle Luo smiled, it seemed that what he said was very light, but I felt a sense of depression.
Uncle Luo didn't even answer me directly, but I knew that from this day on, I would have to face something different from others. Although I was not sure that I wanted to learn this from Uncle Luo, I knew that I could not resist it. Although there is fear in my subconscious, it is because of this fear that I want to understand it even more.
Of course, there are some things I don't know yet, but grandpa seems to think more, no matter how it develops, I think they think more than my immature mind.
When I came to rest in my room, Yonghui was already asleep. I don't know if it's because of the leg injury, or because of the fright I received in the afternoon, I looked at her brows a little furrowed under the light.
Although I also got into the already warm bed, seeing Yonghui's painful appearance and the reason why I had to go to school tomorrow, I soon fell asleep obediently.
Luo Ran stayed with my grandfather for a while, and the two of them talked about something, naturally others didn't know. But he seemed to have something on his mind, and after a few polite words with my grandfather, he took his leave.
The moon at night was very cold, and when Luo Ran walked to the ridge in the backyard of Hongzheng Hall, he suddenly took the initiative to turn off his flashlight. After his eyes adjusted to the moonlight on the path by the pond, he turned around slowly, and then walked towards the back mountain.
The villagers basically slept at this point, not to mention that at night in winter, there seemed to be some cold air in the air. The countryside looked pitch black, like a beast lurking under the night sky, lying there waiting for its prey.
Standing in the dark of night, there was no one to be seen at all. Luo Ran's tall figure walked slowly, he did not turn on the flashlight, but took advantage of the moonlight to cross the ridges of the fields, and then through the long canal, and after reaching the dirt road, he stood there again and stared at the grapefruit orchard in the back mountain.
When Luo Ran was about to walk up, he suddenly heard a dog barking from the grapefruit orchard. Luo Ran seemed to pause in his heart, and the fingers of his right hand kept calculating something quickly. I saw that the wooden shed in the pomelo orchard seemed to have a glimmer of light, but it was extinguished immediately. He didn't pause again, but walked quickly up the hill.
Although he didn't have a flashlight, he seemed to be walking on the ground.
"Ahh Help me! A terrible scream came.
Luo Ran ran over quickly, and faintly saw a dark humanoid shadow, running out of the grapefruit orchard quickly, and he was a little panicked. Luo Ran quickly caught up, saw that he was close to him, and grabbed the black shadow.
"Spare your life! No! A frightened male voice came, a pair of eyes that were red in the night, staring at Luo Ran and letting out a desperate exclamation.
