But when I was about to return the soul-suppressing mirror to Xu Duobao, he shook his head like a rattle, "Lin Kun, you should take this thing! We have the documents, it is yours, I
No. Take it away quickly! If you keep it again, your sister-in-law should divorce me."
I heard Xu Duobao speak so resolutely, so of course it’s not easy to make excuses.
Although this soul-suppressing mirror is evil, it is a valuable thing after all. Now that I have suppressed the resentment in the mirror, if I can completely eliminate it in the future, it will be a rare antique.
After dinner, I took the soul-suppressing mirror to the study. I planned to put it here as a work of art after I eliminated the resentment in the soul-suppressing mirror.
However, just when I was about to try to eliminate it, an unexpected situation changed my face.
The resentment in the soul-suppressing mirror was pitiful, and it was not as powerful as when I met it at Xu Duobao's house, so I quickly dialed Xu Duobao's phone number.
I made several calls, but Xu Duobao's number was always unreachable.
I didn't have time to think too much, so I quickly left the study and went straight to Xu Duobao's house.
The pitiful amount of resentment in the soul-killing mirror can only mean one thing, that is, it evolved into a Yin spirit and slipped away from under my eyes.
Amidst my hurried knocking on the door, Lu Ping opened the door, her face still full of exhaustion: "Lin Kun? Are you okay? Duobao is not at home now."
"Where has he gone?" When I heard this, I immediately became anxious and asked quickly.
"He...he went to the hospital. My mother-in-law was seriously ill and he was called away." Lu Ping was frightened by my anxious look.
"Hospital? Auntie? This is terrible." According to my previous thoughts, the Yin spirit's first target should be Xu Duobao, but it did not do this, and instead found Xu Duobao, who was old and weak.
Without further ado, I casually said that I was in an emergency and asked Lao Xu to borrow money, persuaded Lu Ping to go back to rest, and went straight to the hospital without stopping.
When I rushed to the hospital, Xu Duobao was smoking in the corridor outside the ward. When he saw me coming, he naturally showed a surprised expression on his face, "Lin Kun, why are you here?"
I originally wanted to tell him the truth, but then I thought about how he would have been in trouble if he knew that the Yin spirit had escaped. I made an excuse casually.
"Oh, I came here to buy medicine. I have a bad stomach recently, so I came here to check it out. Why are you here?"
"Alas! My mother is sick again. She is even worse this time than last time." Xu Duobao did not question my words. He was in a low mood and had no time to care about anything else.
"Since I'm here, shall I go see my aunt?" I said in a logical manner.
This was a natural suggestion. Xu Duobao put out the cigarette in his hand and walked into the ward with me.
As soon as I entered the ward, the cold air that greeted me immediately made me feel like I had fallen into an ice cellar. It was three points colder than the bedroom of Xu Duobao's house during the day.
"This ghost hospital is a bit cold at night! Lin Kun, please be patient."
When I heard what Xu Duobao said, I nodded and didn't respond. Obviously, the power of the Yin spirit is greater than the resentment. Even Xu Duobao can sense that there is something abnormal in the surrounding environment.
When I walked to the bedside, I saw Xu's mother lying there quietly.
Her cheekbones are high and her cheeks are deeply sunken. Her loose skin hangs loosely on her bones like withered tree bark. Her whole body is skinny and skinny, with no trace of flesh at all. Her wrists are exposed outside the quilt.
Like a skinny piece of firewood.
Although she was in a coma, a trace of pain flashed across her face from time to time, as if she was not just in a coma, but in a nightmare.
The most bizarre thing is that there are patches of blue spots on the skin on her cheeks, arms, etc. These are usually the spots that only the dead have.
The situation of Xu's mother really scared me. The originally kind and wealthy old man turned into such a
Look.
Frightened, I sat down beside the hospital bed and gently put my hand on her wrist.
With the contact of skin, a bone-chilling coldness spread through my fingertips and spread all over my body instantly.
In a daze, I seemed to be in that mysterious tomb again, and this time, I was not in a dark tomb passage, but standing in an extremely wide square.
The square was densely packed with countless dead bones.
When I suddenly appeared, I saw a vast sea of ​​thousands of dead bones, all turning their heads, their empty eye sockets staring closely into my eyes.
They seemed to be aware of my presence, and their fleshless chins drooped, making a rattling sound at their joints.
Seeing such a scene, my heart was shocked, and I suddenly woke up from my trance. I was even more sure that the evil spirit that escaped from the soul-suppressing mirror was causing trouble.
At this moment, a young woman opened the door to the ward and walked in.
Although she looked pretty, her complexion was a bit haggard. When she saw me sitting beside Mother Xu’s hospital bed, she asked curiously: “Second uncle, who is he? The doctor doesn’t allow relatives and friends to visit grandma.
.”
"Yaxian, this is Lin Kun. We grew up together. He made a special trip to visit grandma."
The nurse named Yaxian nodded when she heard this, walked to the other side of the hospital bed and sat down.
Although she didn't say anything more, I felt that the atmosphere in the ward was wrong. It seemed that Lao Xu's beautiful niece did not welcome my visit, and even felt a little disgusted.
It's just that I can't care about a little girl's thoughts now. My visit this time is not as simple as visiting a doctor.
The escaped ghost is most likely lurking in Xu's mother's body. If it is not dealt with, Xu's mother may not be able to survive for long in her current condition.
With this thought, I glanced at Xu's mother again.
I found that her complexion was paler than before, and there were more and more blue spots on her body. What was even weirder was that while the blue spots were increasing in number, they were connecting into patches, making her skin color gradually take on another look.
color.
"Lao Xu, when did you realize that there was something wrong with your aunt's condition?"
"In the evening." Xu Duobao replied solemnly, "After the sun sets."
Did your aunt have any strange reactions before she fell ill, or did anything special happen at home?" I continued to ask.
After Xu Duobao heard this, he looked towards Yaxian and said, "Yaxian, it's up to you to speak! In the past few days, you have been with her all the time."
"Everything is normal at home, nothing happened, and no one came over." Yaxian replied weakly, her eyes always staying on Xu's mother's face. It was obvious that she loved her grandma very much and did not want to lose this relative.
"Have any special plants grown in Auntie's yard recently?"
Xu's mother's home is an old house of some years. It is said that old houses are yin and prone to accidents. This is not entirely true. For example, Xu's mother's old house is an exception.
The age of this house can be traced back to before the founding of the People's Republic of China. When it was first completed, it received guidance from an expert. The Feng Shui pattern is excellent. People who live in this house will be able to avoid all kinds of evil and hard to get rid of diseases.
In other words, ordinary ghosts cannot break the feng shui of this house, and although the Yin spirit is powerful, after all, I have just been severely injured, so there is no reason to choose between the easy and the difficult, and let Xu Duobao go to find Xu's mother.
Unless something unexpected happened recently.
"Special plant..." Xu Duobao thought and shook his head. He had no impression at all.
"What about the maidenhair fern, for example?" I reminded.
As soon as I finished speaking, Yaxian interrupted me angrily.
"What do you mean? What do you mean when you say that there are maidenhair ferns growing in my grandma's yard? Are you trying to say that her yard is filled with too much yin, which is why she gets sick? I think you go to cemeteries too often, and there are so many maidenhair ferns everywhere in your eyes.
Is it a maidenhair fern?" I was inexplicably beaten by Yaxian, and I couldn't help but
I'm a little surprised that this little girl actually knows about maidenhair ferns?
Maidenhair fern is not a special plant, but it is yin and cold-loving, and is afraid of light and dryness. Therefore, it mostly grows in cool, moist, shady places that are protected from light and heat, such as in tombs.
It's just that most young people nowadays don't know how to distinguish between different crops, especially a beautiful urban beauty like Yaxian. How could they know such an unorthodox plant?
Seeing this scene, Xu Duobao had no choice but to laugh and explain, "Lin Kun, don't mind. This girl has an occupational disease and is biased against those in our industry. Don't be as knowledgeable as her."
"Huh, second uncle, I told you not to associate with these people, but you just didn't listen. You even brought them to grandma's ward. You are really..."
Seeing Xu Duobao trying to smooth things over, the little girl Yaxian was still a little bit stubborn, and even her second uncle was blamed. However, she still remembered that Xu Duobao was her second uncle, and in front of outsiders, she didn't even say a word of complaint at the end.
Say it out loud.
I ignored this difficult girl and pondered Yin Ling's intentions in my mind.
Naturally, my question about the maidenhair fern was not without purpose. Judging from Yaxian's reaction, it seemed that the old house was most likely not repaired for many years, and some shady places had maidenhair ferns growing there.
And Yin Ling came to Xu's mother probably because of this inconspicuous maidenhair fern.
I have also dabbled in the art of Feng Shui patterns. There are advantages and disadvantages to building a Feng Shui bureau. I won’t mention the rest. One of the drawbacks is the concern of reversing yin and yang. This means that once the Feng Shui bureau is broken, not only will it not be able to continue to function, but it will
Become a source of trouble.
Xu's mother's house is a good example. After the original Feng Shui structure was destroyed by maidenhair fern, not only could all evils not be easily warded off, and diseases and filth could not be approached, but it had become a place where yin gathered.
This is the fundamental reason why the Yin spirit bypassed Xu Duobao and his wife and went to harm Xu's mother. It wanted to use the place where Yin gathered to recover from its injuries.
Thinking of this, I waved to Xu Duobao, indicating that it was okay, and then turned to ask Yaxian: "When your grandma is sober, do you really want to go back to the old house?"
I didn't expect that these words would completely explode Yaxian's emotions.
"Why do you have so many problems? I see that you, a remnant of the feudal society, have no good intentions at all. The doctor told my grandma to rest, but you are making noise here and affecting my grandma's rest, you know?"
"You can go out now." When the words came to the end, Yaxian stood up suddenly, pointed her hand at the door, and angrily ordered me to be kicked out.
"Yaxian, why are you like this girl?" Xu Duobao also stood up, his face a little confused. After all, I am also his friend, and this niece is too disrespectful to her second uncle.
"That's it! I won't let this remnant of feudalism disturb grandma's rest." Perhaps because she was afraid of disturbing Xu's mother, Yaxian lowered her voice, but the high pitch in her tone showed her determination.
"Old Xu, forget it! Let's talk about some things outside." I stepped forward and pulled Xu Duobao away.
I don't want Xu Duobao and Yaxian to quarrel. It's not worth it, and it really doesn't help Xu's mother's health.
Xu Duobao nodded helplessly. Apparently he had nothing to do with his niece. He just glared at Yaxian and followed me out of the ward.
Before leaving the ward, I glanced back unintentionally, but just this glance made my heart sink immediately.
Xu's mother's eyes actually opened slightly, just in time to meet my gaze.
But what came out from the gap between her eyelids was not the gaze that a normal person should have, but was filled with endless resentment and malice.
This is the Yin spirit!
When it noticed my gaze, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Xu's dry face.
Imagine a corpse lying in a coffin, smiling at you with half-closed eyes. What a creepy scene it would be?
Chapter completed!
