Ye Shaoyang's thoughts were interrupted by a burst of giggles, and suddenly he sat up, listening carefully, it was a child's laughter, squeaky, it sounded fine, and in the laughter, it was mixed with a woman's low sobbing.
Ye Shaoyang listened to the baby's cry, and always felt that something was wrong, it would never be ......
Ye Shaoyang's belt was not untied, it was on his body, and he took out the yin and yang disc from it at the moment, flicked it a few times, recited the mantra again, the pointer turned with a bang, and finally stopped in the direction where the child's laughter came from the wall.
Sure enough, it's a supernatural event!
Ye Shaoyang was stunned with the yin-yang mirror, he wanted to know what was going on in the house next door, but in the middle of the night, he was a foreigner, of course it was impossible to ask directly, he was in a daze, and the old man Liu's voice remembered: "Are you a Taoist priest?"
” Ye Shaoyang was stunned, turned his head to look, it was Old Man Liu who opened his eyes, and the moonlight was slanted on the bed from the window, brighter than a kerosene lamp.
Old man Liu looked at the yin and yang plate in Ye Shaoyang's hand by the moonlight, there were various scales about Tai Chi gossip on it, as long as people with a little bit of culture knew that it was related to Taoism.
"Uh, you're awake."
Ye Shaoyang was a little embarrassed.
"I woke up when I heard the child crying, and I saw you holding this thing......
The ancestor of our village was a Confucian general, who was a Jinshi in the middle of the year, and after living in seclusion here, the legacy was to let future generations read more, and also left a lot of books, so the men in our village are literate.
I've read a few Taoist books before, so when I look at your compass, I guess you're a Taoist. ” "The seniors smiled."
Ye Shaoyang saluted Old Man Liu with the etiquette of Taoism, thinking that it was no wonder that Old Man Liu talked eloquently before, and his conversation was not like that of ordinary croppers, but he had read books.
Old man Liu waved his hand and said, "The Taoist books I read are all about alchemy and health preservation, and they are also superficial, Brother Ye, you don't have to be like this." ” Ye Shaoyang put away the yin and yang plate, and listened carefully, the cheerful baby laughter came from the wall one after another, and the sobbing sound was always there, mixed with a man's heavy sigh, which sounded from time to time.
Listening to these voices, such a picture appeared in Ye Shaoyang's mind: a family of three, the children were playing happily, the father was sighing, and the mother was sobbing lowly......
This kind of picture is really a bit weird.
Ye Shaoyang looked at Old Man Liu and said, "Please ask for advice, this is ......
What's going on?
” Old man Liu also looked at him, sighed, and said, "Let me ask you, what do you mean by taking the compass out before, did you hear that something was wrong?"
” "This ......"
Ye Shaoyang hesitated for a moment and told the truth, "To tell the truth, I heard this kid's laughter, with a bit of ghostly energy, I'm afraid it may be evil." ” Old man Liu's eyes lit up, and he said, "You can hear the laughter through the wall just by listening to the sound, there is a problem?"
” Ye Shaoyang nodded and said: "The laughter of ghosts is definitely different from that of people, the Taoist scriptures say that the sound of ghosts is invisible, and unless it is a special case, there will be no echo." ” Old man Liu was stunned when he heard this, listened carefully for a while, and said, "There seems to be an echo." ” "Of course, it's not just a ghost's laugh, it's two overlapping voices."
"The two voices overlapped......"
Old Man Liu looked at him, "What does this mean?"
” "Possessed by ghosts, ghosts control people's bodies, and the sound they make is called Yin Echo, and if you are not a mage, you can't hear the difference between this sound."
Ye Shaoyang put a hand on the wall and said, "Because there is a wall, the sound is a little inaudible, so I was not sure before, and I fixed it with a yin-yang mirror, and it was really haunted." ” Old man Liu was stunned when he heard him say this, and said with some excitement: "Are you sure it's haunted?"
” Ye Shaoyang said: "Of course, I have been cultivating since I was a child, how could I hear this wrong." ” Old man Liu sighed and said, "You're right, it's haunted. ” As he spoke, he opened the bed against the wall, took out a bundle of peach branches wrapped in red thread from below, shook it from Ye Shaoyang and said: "See, do you have evil spirits, not only this, there are peach branches under every window in my house, alas, we are also afraid." ” Ye Shaoyang frowned and said, "What are you afraid of?"
” "What are you afraid of, of course you're afraid of ghosts, the next door is haunted, and our old couple is also terrified, in case something comes into our house from next door......"
Ye Shaoyang hurriedly asked, "How do you know that it is haunted?"
” Old man Liu didn't answer, but asked, "Since you see that it is haunted, do you have any way to deal with it?"
” Ye Shaoyang wanted to say a piece of cake, but suddenly remembered that he only had one and a half percent of mana now, and he was really not sure, so he thought for a while and said, "You can try it." ” Old man Liu looked at him, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, you are so young......"
Ye Shaoyang was speechless in his heart, not for anything else, but for being treated like this not once or twice, and he was not in a hurry to distinguish at the moment, and continued to listen to the voice next door, and after about half an hour, the baby's laughter stopped.
Ye Shaoyang asked Old Man Liu what happened to the house next door.
"Originally, it was a happy event, but I didn't expect it to be like this in the end."
Old man Liu sighed and began to talk about the strange things that happened in the house next door: living next door to him was a couple about forty years old, who had no children under their knees, and did not even have a daughter.
Where did I think that since last month, the young son of the family has been starting to have a fever, groggy every day, the couple was so scared that they went down the mountain to the county to seek medical advice, and spent a lot of money, but the child's condition has not improved at all, and he is now sick.
But strange to say, this child is completely sick in the middle of the night, as if he was cured all at once, rolling and playing in bed, giggling......
You also heard it just now, so the child's mother seized this time to feed the child a little milk, and this has continued to live until now.
The couple thought that the child was a bumper or committed something, and they looked at a few gentlemen in the county, but they couldn't tell what was going on......"
Speaking of this, Old Man Liu suddenly thought of something and said: "Oh yes, Zhang Daochang of Yuqingguan in the county said that his son was entangled by several little ghosts, as for the origin of the little ghosts, he couldn't say clearly, Zhang Daochang told them that if they want their son to live, there is only one way, that is, to go thousands of miles away, maybe they can take refuge."
But you have to go from his Taoist temple. ”
