Volume 3 Chapter 20: Haunted House (Part 2)
I tried my best to calm myself. I had only been out for less than two minutes when everyone disappeared. It was impossible for them to jump out of the window so quickly. I looked around the room. The windows were all closed, so I ruled out that possibility first. Then I looked under the bed, but there was no way to hide under a hotel bed, and the bedside table was too small. Apart from that, there was only the bathroom.
At this moment, I was standing outside the bathroom door. I reached out and pushed it open. A foul smell wafted out from inside. Damn, why don’t people flush the toilet in the bathroom?
I covered my nose and looked inside. The light was on, but there was no one there. I walked to the bed again. This was a double room with two beds. Wang Yang was lying on the left bed, and we were all sitting on the right bed. Only Qu Mo was sitting on the sofa by the window.
Could it be that a ghost covered his eyes? I waved my hand and swept it around the bed a few times, and kicked around a few times, but there was no one. I was not afraid, as I still had Qu Mo's hair in my pocket. I first took out the Bagua mirror and hung it on the door, and then pasted two talismans on the window, thinking that even if a ghost came into the room, it would never be able to leave alive.
Then I went back to the table. The papers in my bag were still soaked and unusable. I pulled out a drawer and found a hotel service guide card and spread it on the table. I put the compass on it, wrapped my hair around my fingers and began to perform soul-searching magic. As soon as my fingers started to move, there was a "crack" and the table broke apart and fell to the ground, and the compass fell to the ground.
Suddenly, goose bumps appeared on my back. There was definitely a ghost in the room!
Speaking of this trip to Huangshan, it was really embarrassing. As the successor of ghost stories, I was fooled by ghosts. What's more infuriating is that until now, I haven't even seen the true face of the ghost that killed Tang Xiaohan. I don't even know what he is. If my ancestors knew about it, wouldn't they be furious to death again?
I turned back with gnashing teeth, thinking, I'll teach you a lesson, you really don't take bean buns as dry food! Now is not like in the wilderness in the wind and rain, many spells are restricted and difficult to use. I took out eight copper coins and took out the soul-chasing flag from my bag. I always thought that this little white flag was not very useful because it had lost two cents, so I didn't think of using it. In this small space in the room, the little white flag came in handy.
He chanted a few soul-chasing spells, threw the small white flag up, and then looked up at its whereabouts with full concentration.
The little white flag stretched out in the air, spitting out a few drops of rain, and rushed to the corner of the wall on the left side of the bed. My heart skipped a beat, there is a ghost there! But after the little white flag reached the corner, it suddenly returned and flew back to my face. No way, you are soaked by the rain, but you can't be a traitor and hit your master, right?
Just as the small white flag flew in front of me, the peach wood plate on my neck suddenly felt hot and jumped, followed by a muffled groan from the front.
It turns out that Little White Flag was not a traitor. The evil creature secretly attacked me, so Little White Flag flew back. If it weren’t for the peach wood plate on my neck that blocked the disaster for me, the consequences would be unpredictable, and I would have lost even more face!
Without hesitation, I threw eight copper coins in the direction of the groan , chanting aloud, "The thunder is in full swing, and the world is shaken. Hurry and obey the command!"
Eight copper coins instantly formed the shape of Bagua in the air. As I finished reciting the spell and pointed the coins into the air, they spun rapidly, emitting a brilliant yellow light and bombarded the window violently.
“Ah…”
After a very piercing scream, the window glass shattered with a clang, and the two yellow talismans on it suddenly flashed a bunch of sparks, crackling, as lively as electric shocks. But soon, as the broken glass scattered outside the window, the screams rang again, and the sound was already outside the window. It seemed that the ghost thing had desperately broken through the window and escaped. Unfortunately, the yellow talisman was soaked by rain, and its magic power was weakened, so it could not cause much damage to him, allowing him to escape.
As the screams faded away and gradually disappeared into the distant night sky, the entire hotel suddenly became unusually quiet.
The scene in front of me, like a painting sprayed with water, removed a layer of faint black gas, and the color became very clear and bright. Just now, the naked eye could not see this black gas at all.
Shen Bing, Qu Mo, Wang Zijun and Wang Yang, all four of them stood in a row at the left and right heads of the bed, with their backs against the wall, all bent over and stretched out their hands, like blind men feeling their way. Perhaps they were not used to seeing things suddenly, and they all screamed "Ah".
Damn , I’ve been blinded by a ghost again. What the hell is this ghost? It’s so powerful. In a situation where I’ve caught him in a jar, the copper coin formation couldn’t do anything to him. I really feel a little scared!
I stood at the window, looking at the dark night sky, and felt more and more that I was too weak. In the ghost's territory, I had no strength at all. He took advantage of the mountain mist and the rainy night to make me fall over and over. And I still couldn't do anything to him when I returned to the hotel. How could I complete this deal?
Now I know that there are ghosts that even the ghost masters cannot deal with. I felt very discouraged all of a sudden, and the heroic spirit I had when I came here is gone.
This time, the ghost covered their eyes for only a few minutes, so their minds were not confused. They just felt a little sore all over and dizzy, and they fell on the bed, unable to stand up.
I gave each of them a bowl of talisman water and let them rest.
It was daybreak, but there was such a loud noise in the room and the windows were broken, but the hotel staff didn't show up. I couldn't help but wonder if this place is often haunted and they are so used to it that they don't bother to ask?
At half past six, the four of them were refreshed, got up from bed, drank some water, and looked much better. At this moment, the sky outside was also bright. Although the mountain blocked the sun and the sunrise could not be seen, the sun must have appeared. When the sun comes out, the ghosts will retreat, so we can have a good sleep during the day.
I asked Shen Bing to go back to her room and sleep, and Qu Mo stayed to accompany Wang Yang. Wang Zijun saw that I didn't move, and he didn't go back to his room. He looked like he was afraid that I would do something to Qu Mo. It didn't matter if he didn't go back. I first asked him some questions about Wang Yang.
The guide pretended to be a porter to disrupt the previous topic. Wang Yang said that he and his boyfriend came to Huangshan last year. At that time, the two of them came here secretly. Because their relationship was opposed by Wang Yang's family, they listened to the nonsense of that friend, saying that Huangshan was the most effective place for finding a lover, so they came here.
They entered the mountain during the day and stayed at the hotel at night. They asked around for the most effective place to pray to the gods. The hotel manager immediately saw what they wanted to pray for and introduced them to the "Linggen Cave" behind the hotel, where the Linggen Immortal was enshrined and it was very effective for praying for marriage. However, the manager also said that the Linggen Immortal had a strange temper and although he helped people to find marriage, if they did not come to fulfill their wishes after their wishes were fulfilled, they would be punished.
The two thought that as long as they could be together, they would be willing to give up all their savings, not to mention fulfilling their vows. Not to mention, after they went to the Linggen Cave to pray to the gods, Wang Yang's family agreed when they returned. It was so smooth that it was unbelievable. It was so effective that the two could not wait until the weather turned warmer to come to Huangshan to fulfill their vows.
I thought to myself that I had never heard of Linggen Daxian, and that he was at best a wild immortal. However, in many places among the people, many wild immortals that have never been heard of are worshipped. They are very effective, but they are also prone to disasters. After all, they are not righteous immortals. Some of them may be ghosts who have become spirits and have no good intentions.
"You must have donated a lot of money at that time , right?" I asked with a smile.
Wang Yang shook his head: "When we came here, we ran away secretly and didn't bring much money. We burned a stick of incense in the Linggen Cave and made a wish. At that time, we all said that as long as our marriage was fulfilled, we would make more offerings to the immortals in the coming year."
I said "Oh", of course, a stick of incense can't get rid of this wild fairy, of course, I want to fulfill the offerings. Suddenly, I was curious and didn't want to sleep anymore, so I asked Wang Yang to take me to the Linggen Cave to have a look.
