marry a ghost

The room is full of hideous and terrifying portraits, which makes it extremely depressing.

Wei Shi thought that he should leave too. After such a long delay, he was afraid that he might not be able to catch up with the car, so he turned around and put his hand on the doorknob. Just as he opened the door and was about to go out, there was a soft "click" sound behind him. , It seems that something rolled to the ground.

Wei Shi turned around, the room was dim, and things couldn't be seen clearly.

In this twilight, Wei Shi suddenly saw a slender young man in white clothes. He was sitting or standing, lying or standing, reading or watching TV, playing games or sleeping. Every movement is so vivid and vivid, still in front of my eyes.

It's like an old silent movie, playing out scenes in front of you.

The young man's hair was a little too long, covering his eyebrows and eyes, and only half of his pale face was exposed. He sat at the table, not knowing what he was doing, because the butterfly bone on his back lifted his thin shirt, making his appearance even more obvious. Thin, but his expression is so focused, revealing a kind of persistence and madness.

Wei Shi walked over subconsciously, and slowly stretched out his hand to touch the person he hadn't seen for a long time, but it was like a blister that could burst when poked, the figure collapsed into the air, leaving only the picture on the table. The unfinished painting shows a stern evil ghost.

Wei Shi's hand was still in the air.

The boy tore up his painting, threw it on the ground and stomped it manically. He rolled on the bed with his head in his arms. The expression on his face was painful, as if he was enduring some unbearable torture. After a long time, he raised his head, full of It's a brow of sweat and a face as pale as paper.

The young man slowly wiped off the sweat on his face, raised his head expressionlessly, looked at the paintings on the ceiling, watched his face contort in pain again, but recovered calm very quickly, Then, he scratched his hair with his hands, changed his sweat-soaked clothes, and walked outside the house.

The boy walked towards Wei Shi head-on.

With a pale face, bright red lips, sharp chin, and slender neck, there was an air of emptiness and coldness. He walked over unhurriedly. When passing by Wei Shi, Wei Shi He could almost smell him - it was the smell of green grass wetted by the cold dew in the middle of the night - Wei Shi watched him pass through the door panel and disappear without a trace.

Wei Shi opened his mouth, he almost yelled "Wei Xin" which he hadn't yelled for a long time just now, he took a step forward unconsciously, suddenly, he seemed to step on something under his feet, almost slipped and fell to the ground , Wei Shi bent down to pick up the thing that tripped him.

The surrounding scenes, which seemed to be like a movie, dissipated because of this action.

Wei Shi was at a loss for a moment, he didn't know what exactly he saw just now?Or is it just an illusion that I miss Wei Xin too much?

Wei Shi clenched the object in his hand and spread out his palm. It was a small paperweight, made of jade, carved into the shape of a kitten with its tail curled up. Wei Shi remembered that this thing was He bought it as a souvenir when he went to a famous Buddhist and Taoist holy place in the next county.

Wei Xin was very upset because he didn't take Wei Xin there that time, in order to appease Wei Xin, Wei Shi gave him this souvenir, unexpectedly, he still kept it.

Perhaps because of frequent use and frequent handling, the paperweight has been worn very smooth.

Wei Shi thought for a while, and put the paperweight into the backpack behind him. Then, he lifted his foot and walked out the door. When the door was closed, he took a last look into the room.

The boy leaned against the window, lifted the curtains, and was looking out.

The window glass was covered with window paper, so that one could see something, Wei Shi slammed the door shut.

Wei Xin, I will find you one day, you wait for me.

The period when Wei Shi was with old man Xu could be said to be in dire straits, not at all as exciting or relaxing as his original appearance. In just three months, he had to shed several layers of skin and died several times.

Old man Xu is a man with no possessions and no fixed place to live. He took Wei Shi to the city because he happened to have something to do in the city and it was more convenient. He left Wei Shi alone in a building. Inside the villa, yes, it is a villa, although the owner of the villa is of course not old man Xu, but one of his clients.

The so-called customers are those who come to old man Xu and ask him to help him watch the yin and yang mansions, hunt down demons and catch ghosts.

Before Old Man Xu left Wei Shi behind, he asked him to draw spells according to an ancient book called "Maoshan Talisman" every day, and he was not allowed to sleep until he had drawn a hundred copies. Those spells were extremely complicated, and the lines were similar to his own. Distorted like an earthworm, Wei Shi originally thought that after reading so many old books, he would know a little bit, but after reading those spells, he was completely puzzled.

If you don't know the meaning, you can only follow the example, and mistakes are inevitable.

Old man Xu came back from fooling around outside in the middle of the night every day. After checking Wei Shi's homework, he pointed at Wei Shi's nose and cursed when he found something wrong, and then threw it back for him to redraw. For spells, such as the so-called "Water-avoiding Talisman", Wei Shi redrawn it five times, and finally passed the level on the sixth time. That night, Wei Shi drew all night.

He was drawing here, and old man Xu was crossing his legs over there, eating supper and watching TV. The sound of the TV was turned on very loudly. Wei Shi was restless, and a large part of the reason why he drew so many mistakes was because old man Xu was deliberately making trouble by the side.

In the middle of the night, Wei Shi began to doze off a little bit. He was drawing and painting, his head started to be bit by bit, and the old man Xu, who had been paying attention to him, stretched out his hand and knocked on his forehead unexpectedly, which made his forehead swell. Picked up a big bag, and after waking up from the pain, old man Xu still scolded him, and asked him to continue painting after scolding.

After Wei Shi drew a dozen or so characters of "forbearance" viciously in his mind, he picked up the pen and continued to draw with concentration.

Old man Xu doesn't look like a master, he is simply a fascist.

Wei Shi took a deep breath, feeling that he could not succumb to old man Xu's evil forces no matter what, he must earn his breath, so he became more serious. He was smart at first, and he forgot to eat and sleep, and worked hard. Ten days later, I was finally able to draw all the spells recorded in that ancient book, and it was a good stroke.

Old man Xu stroked his beard carefully, with a look of reassurance on his face, "Not bad, not bad, it's much better than the six senior brothers in front of you, that idiot senior brother of yours, who didn't learn everything after a month of studying." , it took half a month for your fifth senior brother to be a little better."

Wei Shi looked at old man Xu's shameless look, and he was almost used to it.

After this matter was over, old man Xu started to toss about other things again. He began to let Wei Shi recite the whole book, not to mention reciting it backwards, at least there should be no hesitation during the recitation process. Even more sad.

In fact, at this time, Wei Shi hadn't formally worshiped old man Xu as his teacher.

Because the old man Xu said that if he did not meet his requirements, he would not accept Wei Shi. As for the requirements, it is simple, that is, during the period of his training Wei Shi, Wei Shi can successfully complete all the tasks he set. After all the goals have been passed, it's time to apprentice.

Wei Shi had no objection to this point.

Since you want to learn, you must learn well. If you can't even meet the basic requirements, it is normal for you to refuse to take it under the door. Wei Shi insisted on continuing to support even though he was about to vomit blood after learning.

It wasn't until Wei Shi met his senior brothers who were still alive that he realized that old man Xu's ruthless hands were only aimed at him, and there was no requirement to meet the requirements before becoming a teacher. Those senior brothers were all horoscopes. Suitable, after learning a little spells by himself, he clung to old man Xu with a stern face, and old man Xu took them in when he got annoyed.

After accepting it, I didn't take much care of it. After teaching a little thing, most of them were left to fend for themselves.

When Wei Shi heard it, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, knowing that he was young and ignorant at that time, and he was tricked by old man Xu again. But then again, old man Xu's actions also benefited him a lot. I don't have any regrets, but for old man Xu, it is inevitable that I have to play tricks several times to appease the resentment in my heart.

After more than a month, Wei Shi finally memorized almost all the books that should be memorized.

Old man Xu was quite satisfied with the spot check. He carefully stroked his beard, looked at Wei Shi, and said slowly, "The things I asked you to learn earlier are all irrelevant things."

Wei Shi's face suddenly darkened.

Anyone who hears that what he learned by working so hard and almost vomiting blood is actually irrelevant will have an urge to retaliate against society.

When old man Xu looked at Wei, he couldn't bear any provocations, and quickly added, "You know, what you want to learn is magic, so you must be able to see things that ordinary people can't see, like me."

Old man Xu took off his sunglasses and let Wei Shi look into his eyes.

He said triumphantly, "My name is Yin-Yang eyes. Do you know what Yin-Yang eyes are? It means that you can see things in the yang world as well as things in the yin world. I am born to learn magic arts." Material, as for you, if you don’t have this condition, then you can only use another method to connect Yin and Yang.”

Wei Shi thought, "What method?"

Old man Xu looked at Wei Shi treacherously, "I just want to take your soul."

Wei Shi frowned when he heard that, how important is the human soul, how can you just take it away? He thought for a while, "Is it temporary, or is it just like that?"

Old man Xu said, "Temporarily, it's mainly for you to practice your courage and to let you know what the underworld is like. Some people cried and shouted to learn spells before seeing them, and when they saw them, they peed their pants in fright. , and left after rolling and crawling."

Since this is the case, Wei Shi thought it was okay, so he nodded.

That night, old man Xu took Wei Shi to a cemetery in the suburbs. He said that there were well-buried souls inside, and there should be no ghosts. For Wei Shi, whose soul left his body for the first time, the danger was not too great.

At night, the cemetery is full of densely packed tombstones, row by row, as if there is no end in sight. On both sides of the cemetery, there are trees such as pines and cypresses. When the wind blows, the leaves rattle and there are crows. The croaking in the woods, piercing the heart and weeping blood, added to the eerie atmosphere.

Old man Xu took Wei Shi to a platform on the middle steps of the cemetery.

Old man Xu took out a cloth bag and opened it to find a row of silver needles. He twisted a silver needle as thin as a hair, inserted it gently between Wei Shi's eyebrows, and said, "I took one of your seven souls." A spirit." Wei Shi felt a pain between his eyebrows, at the same time, a drop of blood oozes from his eyebrows, and at the same time, a black air that looks like some kind of animal emerges from Wei Shi's eyebrows, old man Xu carefully uses a bottle After catching the drop of blood, the black air also plunged into the bottle.

Wei Shi felt that after his eyes darkened for a moment, he became light and light.

Old man Xu was chanting a mantra next to him, and after a while, he said softly to Wei Shi, "You have to stay here for the whole night, if you really can't stay any longer, just call out, I'm nearby, I'll come over Your soul has returned to your body, but at that time, you can no longer worship me as your teacher."

Old man Xu seemed to have something to say, but in the end he didn't say anything, and turned away silently.

Wei Shi slowly opened his eyes. This is a world completely different from the world he usually sees.
