Ancient Art of Sealing Ghosts

Since the Cayenne left behind by Daofeng and Sister Xuan came to my house last time, I learned how to drive with Sister Xuan in my spare time, and was the last batch to take the driver's license test before the Chinese New Year.

The car has been in my backyard for too long, and a layer of dust has fallen on the car. Sister Xuan said that it can’t be driven directly, and it needs to be washed at a car wash before driving. Moreover, the temperature in the north is low in winter, and the engine is not easy to reach normal temperature. Lubrication The oil effect is reduced, it is easy to increase the load of the car, and the engine wears too much, so the car must be warmed up for 5 minutes before starting.

As a novice, I have always been very obedient. Every time I drive, I stand in the car for five or six minutes, and then drive the car out of the village honestly.

With a coquettish master like Sister Xuan, I naturally also learned a coquettish technique. This coquettish technique allowed me to move smoothly in the process of learning to drive... I even accidentally turned a small car on one occasion. Jinbei's ass was cracked...

To be honest, it's not that I'm showing off my car is good, I can only blame that Jinbei is too bad. It's also thanks to my not stepping on the accelerator firmly, otherwise the broken Jinbei would have knocked me over.

The Cayenne wasn't badly damaged, except for a large chunk of paint off the front and a broken headlight, but even that would have cost us far more to fix than to compensate for a broken gold cup.

Because of this, Sister Xuan didn't let me eat all night, and whipped me to practice driving.

Uncle arrived several days later than Dao Feng expected. On the day he arrived, I was accompanied by sister Xuan and drove to the Capital Airport to pick him up. This time I am skilled and I have not made any serious mistakes. I just backed up occasionally. The time is still a little jerky.

I have to say that the roads in Beijing are too damn difficult for novices. I accidentally got stuck in the middle of the road a few times, and some old Beijing drivers scolded me bloody. Sister Xuan sometimes makes people laugh , sometimes scolded back directly, and then ordered me to flee the scene quickly with beatings and pinches.

This directly caused me to habitually ignore all the scolding when I received someone driving back, corrected the mistake with a blank face and then drove away, which made the uncle and sister Xuan laugh.

After the uncle arrived, he first went to pay New Year's greetings to Lao Chu and his mother, said "excuse me", and went into Grandpa's room to discuss something with Lao Chu.

There were a lot of people at home during the Chinese New Year. My mother looked very happy after sweeping away the gloom before. She said that she hadn't had such a lively New Year for many years. After she finished talking, she rolled up her sleeves and took a broom to clean up the empty rooms in the outer courtyard. All cleaned out.

There are few people in the family and there are many rooms, and there are places for a few more people to live in, but there is no extra bedding, so I have to go to the street to buy it.

Because of the first trip to work, I now have a lot of rich money on hand, but the money is kept by my mother, and she will not allow me to spend it indiscriminately before I marry a wife.

After dinner, I asked Lao Chu to watch TV with my mother, while Sister Xuan and I sneaked into Uncle's room, ready to ask everything clearly. No matter what, Uncle definitely knows more than us.

"What do you want to ask, just ask." The uncle sat on the bed with his legs crossed, his face was calm and unrestrained. His stand-in this time was much better-looking than the previous two, and he was older than the last one. He looked like an intellectual.

I first carefully admired his sanctimonious appearance, and then asked: "Do you know everything about the curse?"

The uncle nodded and said: "I know, the three families cannot enter reincarnation after death, because those people entered the ghost city back then and suffered the same curse as us. After I returned to the Wu family, the ancestor who refused to show his face finally summoned me. I saw that he had the same pattern on his back, but I didn't, which means that he went in himself. Although the ancestor's real age was much older than mine, he was only in his twenties on the surface, and his spirit was not good. It's normal, sometimes when I wake up the next day, I will forget who I am, my memory is in a mess, and what I say can't stand scrutiny at all, which is much more serious than the symptoms of Chu Wentian and Dao Yan."

I said: "How did this happen? What happened to them after they came out of the ghost town? Why did everyone become so strange? When Dao Yan lost his memory, he almost no longer believed in anyone, even in the past. His companions are all under suspicion, if it was just the last curse of the ghost city, it shouldn’t have gotten to this point, they must have encountered something after they went out.”

"You guessed right." The uncle said as he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it and handed it to me, "Look at this, this is the letter Chu Wentian left for me before he left. I remember a lot of things, and now I have to confirm whether my memory is correct, let us not go to him, probably because that place is too dangerous. He also said that several people died after the group of people came out of the ghost town, but They found that after the death of those people, their souls could not be separated from their bodies. It was useless for the most powerful ghost masters of the Chu family to work together to save them. Chu Wentian also mentioned a few addresses and names, he still can’t remember some things, I hope we can find clues from these addresses and find the person who really betrayed them back then.”

I read the contents of the letter in detail, combined with the uncle's explanation, I probably understood what to do next, then I handed the letter paper to Sister Xuan, and said at the same time: "Then when Daofeng comes, you can follow the new year The addresses have been searched one by one, and now we are already grasshoppers on a rope, for the safety of the three families, and for the curse on ourselves."

After I finished speaking, I thought for a while and continued: "Chu Wentian and Dao Yan have been cursed and have lived until now, and have immortality. Is it the same for us? Are we already immortal?"

The uncle shook his head and sighed: "It's not that simple. If I'm not wrong, the curse at the end of the ghost city is just a curse about the soul, and it doesn't have the effect of immortality."

"That is to say, Dao Yan and the others became immortal in the things they encountered later?" I wondered: "Then what is the last Tai Chi in Nanzhao Ghost City? That man looks very strange, not like Ordinary evil spirits."

Hearing this, the uncle smiled and said: "I think, what you see is not the ultimate Tai Chi universe, but just an illusion. And the things there may only attack creatures without souls, and treat creatures with souls." , they will cast a curse. After I entered the last door, I could hardly see anything, and I didn’t see the phantoms you saw, and I didn’t see any men, and I didn’t accept any multiple-choice questions, so I After hearing Ji Xuan's story about what happened inside the door, you probably know what's going on."

"Illusion?" I was surprised: "Impossible, how can that man explain it? I'm sure he really exists, and it's impossible for everyone to have a hallucination at the same time, right? Hallucinations can also be screened? I met When Dao Feng was at work, neither of us could see each other, it was like being separated by an invisible wall, we could only see the Tai Chi diagrams around us, and we could hear Dao Feng’s voice, which was also answering that person’s question after."

"It's very simple." The uncle explained: "The ones among you are the same kind of illusion, and the illusion will change according to the different psychology of people. That man may be real, he may be an undead staying in that special space, or Perhaps it is Piluoge, the owner of Nanzhao Ghost City, or a certain powerful Wuzhu priest under Piluoge. That space is different from the magnetic field of the outside world. Special magnetic fields and hallucinogenic drugs are used to achieve their own goals, and everyone who enters the space will be cursed."

"Magnetic field..." Why didn't I think of this, I shivered, and asked again: "Then how did we get out? If that person is just a simple undead, how could he send all seven of us out of the ghost town? Is it enough to show that there are more magical things in that special magnetic field, such as the ability to make people disappear without reason like the Bermuda Delta?"

"It's probably not what you think." The uncle smiled again. He gave me a narrow look and said, "Too much imagination is sometimes not a good thing. To be honest, I think the reason why the seven of you can come out of the ghost town is because It's all up to you. I called Ji Xuan before you woke up, and asked her to carefully observe whether there are any more special marks on your bodies, such as the mud on the soles and edges of your shoes recently, or Wounds and the like that I didn’t remember, but Ji Xuan quickly discovered that there were thick mud on the feet of the few of you, it was obvious that you had traveled a long distance after being in a coma, and some of you had bruises that you definitely don’t remember. Xiang Wen even found that his left shoe had fallen by the side of the mud a few hundred meters away from where it was found."

"That is to say?"

"In other words, you were sent out after being hypnotized. There is a passage in the last space of the ghost town. That person will not let outsiders know where the passage is, so he made you all unconscious so that you can accept his control."

"Control?" I froze for a moment, and asked, "Is it controlled by that hallucinogenic drug?"

"No, it's Gu." The uncle waved his hand and said, "Don't forget what the Nanzhao people are best at. That person has planted Gu insects in each of your bodies, and through the Gu insects to manipulate you back to the outside of the village, it is easy to be discovered place, but don’t worry, the Gu worm has been dealt with by Xiang Wen, he said this is a reward for you.”

"So that's how it is." After listening to the uncle's explanation, I was gradually able to connect everything together, and found that what the uncle said was basically correct. If I hadn't gone through a certain long-distance journey, I wouldn't feel sore and tired, and even a little I slept for several days, especially the suit I was wearing at that time, which was completely a mess of rags.

Sister Xuan listened for a long time, and then said: "I guess that's right, Wu Mou's explanation is the most reasonable and realistic."

"Yeah." I nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered Tangning, and asked again, "By the way, after we left, Dao Yan sprinkled a drug on the road, which should make the little black cat unable to move, how did you keep up? Tangning set up a trap on the road, are you not injured?"

If the uncle is injured in the wire trap, he will not be able to enter the space behind the door.

"Do you remember that Xiang Wen patted you before we left?" The uncle said: "The kid took the opportunity to bury a child Gu on your body. After Dao Feng's tomb beast passed out, we found it with the help of the mother Gu that found the way. Yours."

"Hey, this kid is really smart." I finally felt relieved and said with a smile, "It was useless to laugh at him before, but now it seems that I have to say thank you to him."

After sorting out my thoughts, I took my uncle and sister Xuan to wander around in the past few days when Daofeng was not here. I went around our small town and took them to taste the snacks that I hadn't eaten.

Later, my mother said that she couldn’t move alone to buy New Year’s goods, so we drove my mother all the way to the largest department store in the city. Uncle and Sister Xuan actually entered the mall for the first time to buy New Year’s goods. Everyone was a little at a loss, and picked up a lot of what should be bought and what should not be bought.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Dao Feng finally called, saying that he would arrive in Beijing at night, and asked us to pick him up "willfully".

I hung up the phone and stood where I was, smirking into the air for a while, and then decided that in order to meet Dao Feng's "willful" request, I would not bring the two super light bulbs, Uncle and Sister Xuan.

As a responsible man, I want to drive by myself and pick up my future wife home alone, and let him admire my coquettish "skills" by the way.
