Chapter 20: The Mysterious Man

It is impossible for a ghost to have a footstep sound, if it wants you to hear the kind of footsteps that keep ringing in the dark, and make you afraid, it is only acting on your brain, in this case there are many ways to get rid of this sound, for example, the simplest is not to care at all, or to concentrate on thinking about other things In short, this depends on whether the ghost is powerful, whether it has a great influence on people, and takes different methods.

But for me, unless the ghost has grown to a certain level, enough to be recorded in the Taoist texts on the description of powerful and terrifying things, the kind of existence can affect me! Everything else can be ignored.

But the footsteps could not be eliminated by any means I could, but became clearer and clearer, and after less than a minute I heard the sound of the door being pushed open

How powerful is that? I closed my eyes and frowned slightly, but in the world of perception, I could only feel a piece of darkness that represented the gathering of yin qi, but I couldn't feel the breath of any high-level ghostly existence, which could only mean a problem, pushing open the door and making footsteps - it was a person!

People, this judgment made my mind a little confused all of a sudden, and the puzzle about this town was even more difficult to solve.

What worries me even more is that Ruyue sleeps in another room, although before going to bed, I told Ruyue that in order to explore the secrets of the town, as long as you don't suffer actual damage and can resist the past, you must not startle the snake, but I don't know if Ruyue can hold on After all, someone appeared inexplicably, and this matter is even more complicated.

After entering the courtyard, the footsteps stopped, and I didn't know what they were doing, but it was inexplicably nervous.

My mind kept guessing, but in less than a few seconds, I felt countless yin winds blowing into my room with Brother Chengxin, and the next moment, when I closed my eyes, I could also feel that the whole room was lively because there were no less than five or six ghosts pouring in at once.

After all, in order not to startle the snake, I didn't open my eyes, I just closed my eyes to perceive, and I couldn't let these ghosts appear concretely, they didn't seem to be to scare us, but deliberately wanted us to 'see' something, in short, I could only feel that these five or six ghosts were a mess of ashes, and after entering the house, they pounced on me and Brother Chengxin.

So from Brother Chengxin's breathing, I have already judged that Brother Chengxin is awake, it is estimated that what I said to him before lying down has worked, in the face of sudden changes, he did not have any movement, at this time the ghost thing pounced on us, I was afraid that he would resist, and I couldn't help but gently pinch his arm, suggesting that he should not make any movements.

'Ghost press', all they want to do is this, use the soul power of the ghost thing itself to oppress us, so that we can't wake up from sleep and very quickly, these ghost things pressed me and Brother Chengxin respectively, I closed my eyes, what I felt was that my body was entangled by a cloud of dust, if I opened the eyes of the sky, I could see that there were ghosts pressing on my body or limbs, this is not a pleasant picture, I would rather not see it like this.

The moment I was pressed, my whole body was cold, this kind of cold started from the chest, and the general sleep was completely different from the feeling of not being able to wake up, but because of the strength of my own soul, this level of ghost press bed could not restrain me at all, in order to act realistically, I pretended to hum twice, and began to deliberately want to move my fingers or something, but soon, I felt a lot of ghosts coming into the room, and then they were pressed and wound towards me.

This feeling is very uncomfortable, like the chest is pressed by a heavy object, the whole body is heavy, but there is no way to wake up, if you choose to sleep, and I feel that I will never wake up This is the first time I have been pressed by the ghost since I became a Taoist priest, I didn't expect the taste to be so uncomfortable, and at this time, I must maintain a trace of clarity in my heart, otherwise I really can't break free and wake up after a while.

I know too well in my heart that this practice is the only correct approach, not only for me, but also for ordinary people, just like ordinary people who can't wake up for the time being, they must also keep such a trace of sobriety, don't panic but must have a strong will to slowly break free If you choose to give up, and the ghost thing has never planned to leave, it is very likely that the outcome you get is to completely 'sleep' and die, and the medical judgment that you may have died of some myocardial infarction or something.

I was thinking nonsense, this is also a way to keep my sanity, because the soul is strong, I am more unlucky, there are no less than eight or nine ghosts on my body, and they are just angry and wait to deal with these guys, I hope I don't make too much noise, I have to be fast!

My whole body is motionless, but my mind is very active, but at this time, the performance is already completely suppressed beside me, I don't know the situation of Brother Chengxin, but he didn't make any movement, it is already the most ideal state, and there is no special movement on Ruyue's side, I am not worried, after all, in Ruyue's body, there are still many Gu who can silently restrain ghosts, no matter how bad it is, she wakes up the fat silkworm, and she can instantly get these ghost things that are pressed on the bed, in comparison, if you wait for a while and struggle, She even has an advantage over me.

There are no new ghosts pouring in, and the temperature in the yard has dropped to a minimum, it is estimated that the fog has completely filled here, but there is no new movement outside, and the silence time is always difficult, I don't know why, for fear that the person who has not moved in the courtyard will find something abnormal, so in this oppressed situation, the heartbeat has also become very fast because of nervousness.

After about ten seconds of surviving this, I heard a 'cold snort' sound in the courtyard, and then the footsteps sounded again, and the ghost things that oppressed me at this time had begun to affect my thinking, constantly hypnotizing me, suggesting that everything was just a dream, I just needed to sleep peacefully and give up any resistance, after all, the impact of the ghost press bed is not only from the body and limbs, but also from the oppression of the will.

But at such a time, how could I be 'hypnotized' by them, the slightest clarity in my heart did not move, and in this silent confrontation, I was still paying attention to the situation in the courtyard.

The footsteps stayed in front of our door, and the existence in the courtyard seemed to try to push our door, but this room had been locked by me and Brother Chengxin, and he couldn't get in even if he had the key, so the door just rang for a while, and there was no sound.

But soon, the sound of footsteps came to our window, and I remembered that the window was not closed, it was hidden, because I had been in too much hurry to lie back in bed.

My keen sense of spirituality allowed me to feel that the person in the courtyard was stuck at our window, and my eyes fell on me and Brother Chengxin who were observing something, but unfortunately I couldn't see what kind of person it was, but I could feel his movements.

He quickly opened our open window, and the cold wind from the window poured into the room, and he moved deftly through the window, and I heard him fall to the ground.

Then he walked to the kang where Brother Chengxin and I were, and stood quietly in front of our kang, not knowing what he was thinking, in this case, I was obviously very nervous, but I still had to keep adjusting my breathing, so that my breathing sounded calm.

Fortunately, the most basic kung fu of Taoism is to practice in one breath, and this kind of control has been done by Brother Chengxin and me, and everything is still under control.

That person has been standing silently in front of our kang all the time, exuding a strange coldness all over his body, this coldness is not like the breath of a human being, could it be that it is a zombie standing in front of us? This kind of speculation made the muscles of my whole body tense up, and I tried my best to control it, so that I didn't let myself do anything impulsively.

However, he stood by the bedside like this, and the pressure brought by it was extremely huge, and I don't know how long I could disguise such a 'nothing'?

Fortunately, at this time, there was a new movement in the courtyard, it was the sound of opening the door with a 'squeak', and the sound came from the old man's house, and then the old man's footsteps sounded in the courtyard.

I felt as if we were looking back at the kang, and the movement of his body brought a slight wind, and then he took a few steps back, then turned and walked to the window, and climbed out of the window again.

The old man's voice sounded in the courtyard, still in the dialect here, we couldn't understand it at all, but I could still guess a few scattered sentences, which probably meant that there was no problem or something, right?

The man remained silent in the face of the old man's words, and at last I heard him say the word 'go', and then the old man walked out of the courtyard with him, and then the gate was closed again.

Which one is this? The doubts in my mind were even heavier, and at this point, I had already made a decision, I had to keep up!
