Chapter 34

I didn't know much about runes, and the only time I'd come across them was on the box of bloodperm pendants. But these were obviously not as fine as the one on the box. But since Ding Ding said so, if these ghosts really came out, the three of us would probably have to put our lives on the line.

This coffin appeared for no apparent reason, what was placed inside, and so many ghost mounds, and that inexplicably disappeared person, all of this and my sleepwalking what connection, I still can not understand for a moment.

Ding Ding pulled me again and said Tan Xi, the handwriting of these runes is the same as on the blood peroxide box.

I froze for a moment and said You mean these things are my mom's?

Tintin nodded.

I said it's impossible, according to my brother-in-law, my mom never touched these things again after my dad left, and I grew up and haven't seen them once.

Ding Ding said, do not believe that you take the jewelry box out to compare, but look at this red paper color has not receded, and the mark of the runes is not old, these ghost mounds were made, certainly not more than half a year. Where have you been these half a year?

I naturally wasn't in my hometown these half a year, and I don't know my mom's condition, but after years of not dealing with ghosts and gods, why would she suddenly make this kind of stuff?

Ding Ding put down the ghost mounds in his hand and said, although the words are like this, but in fact I am not sure, there are at least five or six hundred ghost mounds in here, my mom has not caught so many ghosts and monsters for so many years combined, if these are really just made in half a year, then how powerful your mom has to be!

I didn't make a sound, these things are not something I can control, since I can't open them, then according to what I understood before, all of them will be put under the sun. Sooner or later, it can be eliminated.

Lin Tian said don't be anxious, these things must be put here for a purpose, since it is your mother's things, we do not still intend to invoke the soul, can see your mother, ask her on the line.

I was silent for a while, thinking that this is also right. On the contrary, Ding Ding frowned and said Tan Xi, I thought about it this morning, there is a human face tree in your yard, if we invoke your mom's soul, it will definitely be sucked in by this tree. That would be a tragic end.

I looked outside through the window on the roof and saw that the tree was now bare, the leaves had all fallen to the ground, and the branches and trunks were hideous like a ghost with teeth and claws.

I originally planned to destroy this tree, but after a long consideration, cutting it down is probably not useful, and if you set it on fire, although this is the old town, but after all, it is also in the town, burning a tree is too big a commotion, and it will probably lead to a lot of trouble.

I naturally don't want my mom's soul to be sucked by this tree, but a lot of things are not clear, I'm afraid that in the future the problem will be like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger. To the point where it could not be cleaned up.

Before I could say anything, Ding Ding came over again, he stuck his head in front of me, and also looked at the sphinx tree in the yard, and said, and ah, if your mother really came, even without the influence of this tree, but everything in your dream can be put together. Whether the ghost omen will be fulfilled or not, although I am not very clear, but in case it appears, what horrible things will happen, which is something I can t think　　of.

I sullenly did not speak, Ding Ding said things, I have thought of one by one, but I firmly believe that my mother will not do anything to harm me, and the ghost omen said, although now basically have, but the possibility of realization is still very low.

In addition, about the blood peroxide thing, no one should be more clear than my mother, Ding Ding can not survive, without my mother's help, then we are completely helpless.

However, compared to these, the thing that concerns me the most is that I want to see my mom so badly, so badly!

The last time I saw her was New Year's Eve, but because of work, it was also the peak of the Spring Festival, probably the whole world is on vacation, but we can only take a half-day off in the afternoon of New Year's Eve, go home to have a reunion dinner, and then return to work the next day early.

I still remember that night, my mom made a lot of food, the two of us at home, watching the whole night of the Spring Festival Gala on TV, this kind of day is ordinary, but now I think of it more and more precious.

It seems that since I went to college, my time at home has become shorter and shorter, and the time I can be with my mom is also less and less.

I still remember what I was talking to my mom about. We were watching TV, laughing and expressing our opinions about the programs. My mom was right next to me quietly listening to me talk, that day and the usual is not different, just the next day when I left, my mom stood at the door to see me off, said, in the future there is time, long come back to see it.

I smiled and nodded, but what I didn't expect was that that farewell would be goodbye forever.

Even when my mom died, I was not at her side.

Because of that, I've always felt guilty in my heart. But when I hit the ghost, I also wondered more than once if I could see her again, and now that I had a chance, I didn't want to give up no matter how much danger I faced!

I asked Ding Ding if there was a way to temporarily disable the Tree of Faces.

Ding Ding saw that I was resolute, sighed and said that there is a way, but it can only be controlled for a short period of time.

I asked, about how long?

Ding Ding beamed and thought for a while, said at most half an hour.

I said that time is enough, if something really goes wrong, I do not care so much, directly burn the tree!

Ding Ding said, since you decided, then according to what you said to do well, anyway, our purpose is another piece of blood perch.

We didn't talk much, Lin Tian and I put the coffin back up. Ding Ding said that he was going to prepare something to shock the human-faced tree and left the attic first.

Touching the coffin in front of me, I felt a little cautious in my heart. From time to time, my mind crossed the appearance of myself sleeping in it, I was worried, Lin Tian probably couldn't stand this appearance of mine, and wanted to joke with me, he said, don't look at hey, the size of this coffin is really suitable for you.

I heard almost back over the gas, scolded you won't pick some good words!

Lin Tian only then reacted to his own wrong words, coughing, put on a serious look, said, I just want to enlighten you.

I sighed, said you even, in addition to scolding people fierce point, comforting people this kind of thing you never fucking will.

Lin Tian hemmed and hawed and said, you know it's good.

I shook my head, ready to go downstairs to see how Ding Ding prepared, and on the way to wash the blood stains on my body.

Which just lowered his head, suddenly saw a few heavier footprints on the ground, one deep and one shallow, like a cripple had walked here. Earlier all the attention was attracted by this coffin, forgetting to check the situation around.

This time I looked, my heart was shocked, the footprints of Lin Tian and the three of us were relatively neat, but there were quite a few of these extra prints on the ground, even all the way to the edge of the exit.

I remembered the black shadow that suddenly disappeared, and saw Lin Tian beside me, my brain suddenly buzzed, and I immediately understood!

Lin Tian was about to go downstairs when I pulled him back, I asked him if the people in the attic took the opportunity to go out after I fell asleep after guarding the downstairs before.

Lin Tian frowned, said it is impossible, I have been guarding the bottom it.

I asked again, then you have an impression of all the previous things?

Lin Tian froze for a moment and didn't speak immediately. But this action confirmed the conjecture in my head.

The situation on Lin Tian's body seemed to be getting worse and worse, starting from the Sphinx Tree, the behavior seemed to be out of his control. And midway through, no matter what he did, he didn't have any memory of it.

If I fell asleep at that time and Ding Ding went downstairs to rest, and Lin Tian suddenly appeared in that situation again, the black shadow upstairs could just leave. By the time Lin Tian regained consciousness, the people would probably have already run away!

Lin Tian looked at me, his expression becoming increasingly ugly. A face reddened, he pulled me, said Tan Xi, I have no impression ……

I said you don't worry, can think of it, can't think of it is okay, that person although mysterious, but at present there is no meaning to harm us.

My words more or less with some comforting nature, just to not let Lin Tian so embarrassed, he is now extremely mental trance, trying to recall the earlier things, but in the end, or helplessly shook his head.

He was bitter and looked a little pained, saying Tan Xi, I really don t know ……

I sighed, did not say much, Lin Tian's situation is really getting worse and worse, this kind of situation, earlier but once in the mausoleum, but came to the old home, it seems to be more serious. It seemed that as long as there were more ghosts and monsters, the worse his spirit became.

I considered it for a while, and in order to prevent Lin Tian from doing anything strange again, I told him to try to stay with me or Ting Ting, so that when the time came, there would be someone who would be able to keep him in check.

Lin Tian nodded and didn't say anything in return. I guess there was some shame in his heart as well.

We went downstairs together and saw Ding Ding rummage through his luggage, pulling up a red rope with four copper coins tied to it, and I don't know what dynasty it was from.

He pulled the red rope around towards the sphinx tree, looked up at the sky, and muttered something under his breath, as if he were calculating something. Immediately after that, he nailed four copper coins to the corners of the tree, and the red rope was pulled up into a square shape to encircle the tree.

Lin Tian and I sat in the room and watched him finish all this before Ding Ding turned back, saying that the success of invoking souls should wait until after dark, when the yin qi is at its deepest, to be the most efficient. When that time comes, I'll trap the sphinx tree, and then I'll start invoking souls.

I nodded and asked him what else he needed to prepare for the invocation.

Tintin said that he wanted my mom's name, her birth date, and the things she had used during her life, and that everything else wasn't too difficult to prepare, but he wasn't sure about these.

I "oh" a sound, went into the house to write down my mom's information, and then looked for a piece of clothing she had worn out, asked Ding Ding enough?

Tintin said yes, then took it and put it in his bag, and started drumming around the house again. He moved my grandmother's small incense burner to the table, and took out a bottle of vermillion from the bag, writing and drawing on the table.

Lin Tian and I had been watching from the side and couldn't help, he seemed to be very messy with his strokes, but the patterns he drew seemed to be very regular.
