Chapter 118: Strange Streak
I felt a pair of eyes looking at me at night in a daze, but I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't open them.
My body was suddenly covered with cold sweat, so I stopped opening my eyes.
I realized that I was afraid that I was being pressurized by a ghost.
The spirit of these two days was too tense, so it led to this appearance now.
Usually after a minute or two, the ghost pressure on the bed will end. But I waited for about ten minutes.
That feeling of being watched was still there.
I got restless and tried hard to open my eyes, then fidgeted with my arms and legs.
To my surprise, I was able to move my hands and feet.
Moreover, the very moment I moved my hands and feet, I actually touched a pair of cold hands.
They were covering my eyes in death, and a great chill ran through my heart.
Where was it that I was being pressurized by a ghost, it was clearly that there was a ghost pressing down on me.
Just as I wanted to shout, the force above my eyes disappeared all of a sudden.
I opened my eyes violently, but found Chen Yanlu looking at me nervously and said, "What's wrong with you Homi?"
I sighed in relief and shook my head, looking at the bedroom door with some unease.
A somewhat blackened palm print appeared above the handle of the door.
Morning Research Lou worriedly said, "I saw you keep moving while you were sleeping, and why is there a mark on your face?"
Hearing these words, I was inexplicably frightened in my heart.
What just happened really wasn't a dream!
I couldn't wait to explain to Chen Yanlu and rolled over out of bed and drilled into the restroom. Standing in front of the mirror.
Sure enough, on my face, two slender palm prints appeared, squinting my eyes slightly, the palm prints were presenting a pinching gesture, above and below my eyelids.
Dad's new funeral, the house is haunted, last night was Dad?
I panicked and ran to the first floor, but I saw Mao Biqiu sitting next to the spirit table, motionless.
When he saw me come out, he flicked his hand on the burning incense next to Dad's and said, "What's wrong?"
Mao Biqiu didn't finish his sentence, but suddenly his face changed drastically, and he said sternly, "Ghost thing still not get out!"
I was startled, but stiffly did not move. It wasn't me that Mao Biqiu was calling out!
The inside of the house was suddenly chilly, and I felt that thing circled around inside the house before leaving unwillingly.
Mao Biqiu looked at the location of the coffin with a grave expression, and his two hands were pinched together.
My voice was a bit tense as I asked him what exactly happened, and Mao Biqiu sighed and said, "There shouldn't be anything, but you should send your mom away for the next two days. The farther away the better."
When Mao Biqiu said this, I knew that things weren't simple.
Chen Yanlu suddenly ran out in a panic at this time, then pointed at the location on the second floor and said to Mao Biqiu somewhat sharply, "It's not good!"
My whole heart sank at once, and Mao Biqiu ran towards the second floor with an iron face. I followed closely behind him.
When I arrived at the second floor location, I was instantly stunned.
My mom was holding a paper figure, her mouth rambling about something.
I almost didn't bite my tongue off when I listened carefully and clearly.
"Old man, I knew you were playing dead. You're finally back." Mom was intoxicated and hugged the paper figure.
I was so pale that I didn't say anything, while Mao Biqiu opened his hand to let me and Chen Yanlu back off.
And as if my mom didn't see me, she was still intoxicated talking to the paper man.
Even more chilling to my heart was that my mom even pulled up the paper man's hand and walked towards the bedroom.
I wanted to rush up, but Mao Biqiu stopped me and said, "You can't interrupt her now, or else she'll blow her soul out of her body."
Chen Yanlu frowned and said, "Is Auntie being mesmerized by a ghost?"
Mao Biqiu nodded and shook his head, I was so anxious that I was about to cry out and said, "Then what the hell to do, save my mom first."
Mao Biqiu frowned at the slowly closing door of the house, moved his knuckles, and fished out a few talismans from his pocket. Then pasted it on the door of my mom's room.
I rushed forward and asked him if my mom should be alright. Mao Biqiu nodded and said, "I put the talisman, there should be no problem today. But ……"
Just at this time, bam a loud bang, Mao Biqiu face changed, then spread his legs, and ran to the location of the first floor.
My whole person suddenly appeared a faint feeling of uneasiness, followed him rushed down, Chen Yanlu closely behind me.
After arriving at the living room, Mao Biqiu but stood in front of my father's coffin, the whole person as if he had just been fished out of the water, his head full of big drops of sweat.
I was stunned by this scene, Mao Biqiu's pupils were now clenched as if he had seen something unbelievable. But he seemed to want to move again, but how could he not.
Chen Yanlu suddenly pounded my shoulder and made a gesture of silence.
I winced and followed Chen Yanlu's line of sight to Mao Biqiu's feet.
Instead, I found a pair of hands, tightly gripping Mao Biqiu's ankle.
It was a pair of black shadow hands, sticking out from inside the coffin.
At the same time, there was also a shadow's head that was poking out of the coffin by a hair.
I lost my voice and called out, "Dad."
Suddenly those hands disappeared from Mao Beiqiu's ankles in an instant as if they had been electrocuted.
I immediately ran over and slammed down on the coffin yelling my dad's name.
Mao Biqiu shook his body for a moment, then regained his mobility, but pulled me away from the coffin with one hand.
Then he pushed open the coffin lid with force. The lid of my dad's coffin was not nailed on, and it was only sealed before it was prepared for burial.
So it was just pushed open by Mao Bijie with a single push, and I thought he was retaliating against my dad's spirit for grabbing his ankle just now. I was about to pounce away from Mao Biqiu.
Suddenly a burst of choking gas came to my nose, and Mao Biqiu shouted to retreat.
I couldn't think in time, but Chen Yanlu rushed to my side violently, grabbed my hand in a flash, and then pulled me back hard.
There was a puff of smoke in front of my eyes, and when I recovered, I had already been pulled to the location of the entrance of the first floor.
Where my father's coffin was just now, where Mao Biqiu was standing, there was an extra monster.
Monster forehead grew a twisted hand, pale pale still constantly turning.
His eyes, on the other hand, had no whites, and the blood on his face had long since disappeared and turned blue.
Scattered hair fell to his shoulders, and I looked him dead in the face.
Who was this monster if not my father?
But looking at the hand on his forehead, my entire body was paralyzed.
Mao Biqiu's face was grave as he confronted my dad, grasping a red talisman in his hand.
Chen Yanlu pulled me back two steps, and I subconsciously tried to struggle, but knew it was useless.
After a few minutes, the monster suddenly moved, twisting its head to look at me.
Then took a step toward the location of the second floor.
My heart followed the sound of his clattering footsteps and kept beating, Maubiqi's forehead was already covered in sweat, but he still didn't make a move.
My dad went up the stairs and then slowly made his way up one step at a time. I covered my mouth as each movement of his feet was a crunching sound like machinery turning.
Soon he disappeared from my sight. I panicked and tried to chase after him.
Dad has now become such a ghostly appearance for some reason, and the hand on his forehead ……
The doorway of mom's room on the second floor was plastered with Mao Bijie's talisman paper, but Mao Bijie himself didn't even do it. The talisman paper has no use is not certain.
Mao Bijiu and I chased up the stairs at the same time, but saw my father's body, froze in the doorway of my mother's room, motionless.
Waiting for a full ten minutes of time, Mao Biqiu only face ugly past my father's body helped up.
I was surprised to find that the strange hand on my father's forehead had disappeared.
Mao Biqiu just pasted on my mom's room above the talisman paper did not change, still there to paste.
Mom is fine, but thinking that there is still a paper man inside my mom's room, I can't feel at ease.
Chen Yanlu went over to help Mao Biqiu carry my dad's body downstairs.
Having just died a day ago, I actually smelled a trace of a strange odor from my dad's body.
Although it hadn't reeked yet, this smell always made people feel inexplicably panicked.
I knew that this one was the human smell.
When I returned to the living room on the first floor, Chen Yanlu and Mao Biqiu put my dad's body back inside the coffin.
Mao Biqiu sighed as he closed the lid of the coffin. I nervously asked Mao Biqi what happened to my dad.
Mao Biqiu closed his eyes, then thought for a moment. Finally his eyes rested on the position outside the door.
Said: "Someone is moving a sinister trick, but I don't know their purpose yet. But your father is just an ordinary dead man, he shouldn't be able to be noticed by them right ……"
As Mao Biqiu said, his eyes suddenly looked at me, and I twisted my body uneasily.
Mao Biqiu suddenly said to Chen Yanlu, "The two of you will still continue to observe mourning tomorrow, but don't go to bed at night, I'm going to go find that person to fight."
The sound of a rooster crowing rang out, I felt that there was suddenly a trace of extra warmth inside the house, and before I could ask Mao Bijiu how he was going to fight that person, suddenly the sound of a creaking door opening came from the location on the second floor.
My mom walked down to the first floor, her eyes red and swollen, "I'll go out later to buy food, what do you guys want to eat?"
Hearing my mom's words, the tip of my nose couldn't help but turn sour. Last night's events didn't ring a bell looking at mom's current appearance.
But dad's corpse and even his soul, were all practiced by someone.
And that person is most likely the one who poisoned dad.
Mao Biqiu said to my mom, "Buy a rooster and bring it back, then find a black cat, and you'll be fine."
My mom nodded and left. Chen Yanlu and I looked at each other, and Mao Biqiu frowned as he told Chen Yanlu and I to go up and renew the incense.
After renewing the incense, Mao Biqiu began to take out a yellow burning incense from inside his clothes.
This incense and other incense is not the same, the body of the incense than those incense thin a few points, there is a strange fragrance.
Mao Biqiu said to me and Chen Yanlu: "This is the soul renewal incense, at night, you will light this incense while keeping watch. When the rooster and the black cat come back later, I will teach you what to do to help me, I am going to fight that man."
One day Doo didn't say a word, and my mom did come back with a rooster with a red crown, and a little bit bigger cat. It was only the size of the palm of a hand. It was black all over, only where the cat's forehead was, there was a vertical line. It was white.
Mom handed over the rooster and the black cat to me and Chen Yanlu, and then turned to Mao Biqiu and said, "I've been searching for a long time, and this is the only cat that's the blackest, but there's also a hint of a white line on top of the forehead."
By this time, Mao Biqiu no longer had the heart to listen to my mom, but stood in front of Chen Yanlu, looking at the little black cat with an infatuated glance.
The little black cat meowed, heard me baffled, the black cat immediately jumped to my shoulders above. Intimate next to my face, and then to Mao Biqiu meowed again.
Mao Biqiu sighed and said to my mom, "This cat is the most effective, please."
My mom nodded, then carried the dishes towards the kitchen on the second floor. There was no glance at my dad's last picture or coffin during the process.
But I knew that my mom's mood right now, was still incredibly sad, but she didn't want us to worry, so I'm afraid she would just hide in the house and cry.
Throughout the day, everyone spoke very little.
Mao Biqiu cut open the crown of the rooster, and after drawing a few strokes on top of Dad's coffin, he placed the rooster on top of the coffin.
The rooster was like a wilted eggplant, lying motionless on the coffin.
The little black cat, on the other hand, stood on top of my shoulder and bounced back and forth. From time to time, it also jumped from the top of my shoulder to my head.
Chen Yanlu wanted to come and pet the cat, but was threatened by the little black cat meowing. It almost scratched its face.
Mao Biqiu, on the other hand, kept looking at the cat with a mesmerized gaze, and I asked suspiciously what the cat was used for.
Black cats I know, but is limited to those prone to cause necrophilia, as well as eating dead people's meat type of information.
And the rooster is something that drives away souls and ghosts.
Mao Biqiu while holding a brush to draw charms, said: "Black cat for Xuan, Xuan is Yin, and Yin and Yang attract this law to Xuan cat above, is turned into an exception. Xuan cats won't like things that are heavy in yang energy, but are attracted to yin energy."
I understood, finally realizing why the Xuan Cat was pestering me. I'm a woman, so naturally my Yin Qi is a bit heavier than Morning Research Dew and also Mao Biqiu.
Moreover, I used to be a zombie body. More able to attract Xuan cat.
But what is the use of the cat here.
Time soon came to the night, these two days, Mao Bijie let me and Chen Ranlu can not take a bath. I vaguely also know that ghosts like to be clean, if there is no dirt on the body, it is easy to be possessed by ghosts.
Moreover, both Chen Yanlu and I had been possessed by ghosts before.
Mao Biqiu began to split that incense into two and gave it to Chen Yanlu and I. Then he forced the little black cat off the top of my shoulders again.
The little black cat meowed and meowed, still waving its claws around, and Mao Biqiu bit through his middle finger, then nodded above the cat's forehead.
Chanting, "With the blood of the Mao family, I temporarily order you to be the Guardian Xuan Cat."
The little black cat suddenly stopped waving its claws all of a sudden, quieted down all of a sudden, and then jumped on top of Mao Biqiu's shoulder.
The two eyes were indescribably dark and deep.
Looked at me shivered, Mao Bijiu while telling us to wait a while to start the wake, must remember not to be able to let the incense broken, and then said that this renewed soul incense should also be lit at the same time, and then he in case of any accidents. If anything happens to him, he must be awakened in time.
After Mao Bijiu finished speaking, he then sat down on his knees in front of the spirit platform and held the large rooster in his arms.
When the rooster was in his arms, he suddenly chirped loud and clear, and the Xuan Cat glared at the rooster with a deadly glare, and the rooster stared back defiantly.
Mao Biqiu, however, closed his eyes, and the rooster dropped his head and seemed to have closed his eyes as well. The Xuan cat meowed, then jumped on top of my dad's coffin, and instantly stopped moving.
Chen Yanlu and I didn't really worry too much. Mao Biqiu's skills weren't bad, and he should have been very sure before he used the method of departing from the soul to fight that person.
The Xuan Cat, on the other hand, was walking back and forth on top of my dad's coffin, as if it was making its rounds.
Suddenly the sound of clattering footsteps came from above the second floor, and I wanted to get up to look, but Chen Yanlu stopped me and said, "Your mom is fine, and Mao Biqiu's talisman is still there."
I nodded, patiently, and the footsteps stopped after two minutes, along with the sound of a door closing.
Time passed extraordinarily slowly during the night, watching the burning incense slowly fade away and another one lit.
Mao Biqiu is still sitting on his knees, I thought that there should be no accidents tonight.
Just at this time came the sound of a clattering knock on the door.
I woke up with a start and looked dead at the door, the time now was exactly eleven o'clock, it wasn't midnight yet, but who was knocking on the door at this hour.
There were no relatives left who didn't know about my dad's death, and there was no way in hell those shunned looks of theirs would come over at this hour.
I held back from getting up. Morning research dew suddenly face ugly pulled my hand.
I thumped in my heart, but I saw a long string of blood flowing out from Mao Biqiu's nose with a clatter.
Just at this time, that hypnotic knocking sounded again.
Chen Yanlu said with a grave expression on her face, "Wake up Mao Biqiu first." I nodded and immediately stood up and walked towards my father's coffin.
Mao Biqiu had told Chen Yanlu and I that if we wanted to wake him up, we could just directly grab the Xuan Cat and use the Xuan Cat's claws to make a wound on his body.
But just the moment I approached the Xuan Cat, it meowed and retreated to the back of the coffin in a flash. Then jumped out with a single leap.
I frowned and chased after it to the back of the coffin, but that Xuan Cat dashed towards the doorway's position in another instant. I secretly said a bad sound.
This Xuan cat was still sticking to me during the daytime might as well, but just now as soon as I got close to it, it avoided, I'm afraid that there is really something going on.
Morning study Lu this time is pointing incense, the thick filial piety incense is about to burn out, filial piety incense can not be exhausted, so this time morning study Lu is taking out another foot more than two meters long incense pointing.
But I don't know why it won't light. I went to catch the cat, but it ran toward the door.
The sound of knocking on the door came to an abrupt end. I breathed a sigh of relief, the cat had already retreated to the doorway position, all I had to do was to reach out and I would be able to catch it.
The Xuan Cat, on the other hand, meowed and suddenly jumped on top of the door curtains, burrowing out through that skylight above it in a flash.
My whole body was like an ice cellar, things were not good.
Our house was one of those old-fashioned house buildings, the door was still a wooden door, and there was that skylight with inlaid glass on it.
But just now, I don't know when, my house skylight above the glass unexpectedly don't know who was uncovered.
Xuan cat drilled out, this time the morning research dew is still anxious to light incense, and Mao Bijiu's nose is still slowly dripping blood, the whole person's face has begun to pale.
I hesitated for a moment and immediately shouted to Chen Yanlu, "You light the incense first, then guard this place, I'm going to catch the cat."
Chen Yanlu's face was a little hard to see, and she kept lighting at the incense, then told me to be careful, I nodded and said, "It should be fine."
These words were nothing more than comforting myself, Chen Yanlu nodded with a firm face and said, "Hurry back."
I twisted my head and pulled open the door to my room.
The dark night color entered my scopolamine, the dim light was a little bit oozing, that Xuan cat, was running down the steps in front of my house. The cat was running down the steps in front of my house, but it kept attacking a small black ball.
I was a little familiar with that black ball, but the basilisk cat saw me open the door, all of a sudden tensed up, a mouth picked up the black ball, quickly ran toward the street.
I stomped my foot. Quickly chased after it, the Xuan cat ran especially fast, a few times leaped out a long way.
My house was at the end of the street, but there were quite a few more houses on either side of these, each with an alley of less than half a meter on either side.
I was worried that the Xuan Cat would run and get into the alley, and that would be a problem because the alley was too narrow, so it was always filthy and unkempt inside.
And it wouldn't be good for me to be able to catch it if it went inside.
However, after chasing it out for more than ten meters, the thing that worried me the most happened.
The Xuan Cat had indeed drilled into one of the black alleys, its long tail waving in front of my face before disappearing.
Panting, I ran to the mouth of the alley, half a meter wide allowing me to walk once I was inside, but with no way to move nimbly.
Away from the streetlights, the inside of the alley seemed particularly dark, and the moon overhead was frighteningly large and white. The shadow of the basilisk cat was invisible, but I could still hear the sound of meowing.
With a somewhat uneasy glance at my house at the end of the street, I drilled into the alley.
Mao Biqiu was still waiting for the Xuan Cat to save his life, and I had no way back.
After entering the alley, a musty smell drilled into my nose. I covered my nose and walked inside the alley. Then mimicked a meow-meow-meow sound. Hoping to make the genet cat come back.
There was an echo inside the alley. My mimicked meow, coupled with the Xuan Cat's voice, was poignant as if it was a ghost's cry.
After walking for about another few meters. I finally saw the Xuan Cat.
However, a scene that made my heart beat even more furiously came into sight.
A person covered in a black cloth cover, is hanging his head holding a rooster, quietly sitting in the alley, in front of him. There was an incense burner, and inside the burner, there was an incense burning, which was deep red, and the smoke that came out slowly drifted into that person's nose.
And Xuan cat, is jumped to his shoulder above, mouth inside the black ball, but stretched out his hand to pull that red incense.
My heart jumped wildly, this scene was simply too similar to Mao Beiqiu. This person, is the person behind the curtain?
The Xuan Cat was holding the small black ball inside its mouth, so the meowing sound it called out was blurred with a hint of whimpering, like a child crying.
Its paw plucked the red incense twice, and suddenly bounced violently. I, however, smelled a hint of burnt flavor. After the Xuan Cat's paw was scalded, it gave a fuzzy meow and scurried off the man's shoulder in a flash, its body directly hitting the incense burner.
The red incense, extinguished. I gave a cry of misfortune, but the Xuan Cat instantly burrowed into my arms and then jumped onto the shoulder.
Beneath the bleak white moonlight, the one in the center of that black silhouette had long streams of blood coming out from inside his nose.
What chilled me was that the blood was greenish in color, and not just from his nose.
Even at his nose and eyes, he was bleeding non-stop.
With a huge chill in my heart, I jumped around and quickly rushed out of the alley and ran to the end of the street.
The door of the house was still open, I pushed the door in at once, and the Xuan Cat jumped off my shoulder at once, then rushed to Mao Biqiu's body and jumped on his head at once.
Chen Yanlu saw that I had returned and breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed at the incense.
The incense was lit, slowly wafting smoke.
Turning his head to look at Mao Biqiu, he opened his eyes shakily and shook his body weakly.
Then said with a happy face, "It's done."
I immediately asked him how it came to pass, Mao Biqiu touched the blood on his nose, and said with a hint of doubt on his face, "Just now, I clearly lost the upper hand, and I was still thinking about how you guys still didn't wake me up, but that mysterious person, his soul was suddenly dispersed by half, and I stood on top of him and broke the other half of his soul."
After a pause, Maubiqiu continued, "Now that guy out of the half of his soul that left at the very beginning is still intact, that half of his soul was broken by me."
I nodded, and Maubiqi let out a soft eep and said, "Why didn't you guys wake me up just now?"
Chen Yanlu looked at me and I shook my head, pointing to the black cat on his head, telling the story that after the Xuan cat ran out just now, I chased after it and then found the man in an alley.
Mao Biqiu reached out and grabbed the Xuan Cat on his head, took a deep breath and said, "This is the will of heaven."
