Chapter 54 Ghost Hunting

At dusk, a scholar with worn clothes finally found a village in the boundless wilderness. After a few days and nights, the scholar was so tired that he wanted to find a family to rest in the village. This scholar is none other than Qiao Xiaoxuan. He had an important task to complete on this trip, deliberately dressing up as a scholar.

"Knock! Knock! Knock! I'm a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam. I passed by here. Can I rent a night in the house?

The locals said to Qiao Xiaoxuan, "Our village has always not stayed with strangers. There is a broken temple in front of us to shelter from the wind and rain, but this temple is haunted and no one dares to approach it!"

"At night, ghosts often come out to eat people in this temple. You can't live in this place. Many people lived in before you, all of them died, and none of them came out alive!"

"I advise you not to die to save a few money!" The locals persuaded him.

Qiao Xiaoxuan, dressed as a scholar, smiled secretly: "Who are you scaring? There is no ghost in the world. I don't believe in this evil.

So Qiao Xiaoxuan, dressed as a scholar, said to the locals, "It doesn't matter. I never believe in ghosts. Besides, if there is really a ghost, I have my own way to deal with it. Nothing will happen.

Qiao Xiaoxuan did not listen to people's advice and lived in the temple that night.

In the evening, Qiao Xiaoxuan sat under the oil lamp and studied hard until late at night when he turned off the lights and fell asleep. When he lay **, he suddenly thought of what people said about ghosts during the day. Although he was confident that with his magic power, even if there were really ghosts here, it was more than enough to deal with ghosts, he was still a little unsteady and it was difficult to fall asleep.

After midnight, when he was about to fall asleep, he saw a figure walking back and forth outside the window.

"Is there really a ghost?" Qiao Xiaoxuan opened his eyes wide, remained highly vigilant and no longer fell asleep.

The man was dressed in black and walked around the window. He went to a place and stopped and shouted softly, "Temple master! Temple owner!"

"Hey!" A voice answered in the dark.

The man in black asked, "Is there anyone in the temple?"

The voice replied again, "There is a scholar coming to live during the day. I've been reading at night until now. I'm afraid I haven't fallen asleep soon after lying down."

The man in black sighed and left. Qiao Xiaoxuan listened and held his breath and stopped making a sound. After a while, I saw a man in red and a red hat walking around the window. He also stopped at the man in black just now and whispered, "Temple master! Temple owner!"

"Hey!" The voice in the dark replied again.

"Is there anyone in the temple?" The man in red also asked like the man in black.

"There is a scholar living in it. He just fell asleep and doesn't seem to have fallen asleep yet."

The man in red heard this and left with a sigh. Qiao Xiaoxuan listened and held his breath and stopped making a sound.

After a while, nothing happened. Qiao Xiaoxuan, who was bold, got up and put on his clothes and walked to the place where the two stopped just now. He also whispered, "Temple master! Temple owner!"

The dark answered, "Oh!"

Qiao Xiaoxuan asked again, "Is there anyone in the temple?"

"There is a scholar living in it. He just lay down and may not be asleep yet."

Qiao Xiaoxuan asked again, "Who is in black in front of you?"

The voice in the dark has no doubt about him: "It's the old sow in the north room."

"Who is the man in red and red hat?" Qiao Xiaoxuan continued to ask.

"It's the husband chicken of the West family."

"Who are you?"

"I'm an old scorpion in the field."

"Oh! So that's it." Qiao Xiaoxuan suddenly realized that he did not dare to say anything more. He quietly retreated to the room and did not dare to sleep again. He lit the oil lamp and read at night until dawn.

"Oh! You are still alive!" After dawn, people were very surprised to see that Qiao Xiaoxuan was safe and sound overnight and had not been eaten by ghosts. They all came to find out what was going on.

Qiao Xiaoxuan said to everyone, "Get the hoe and rope quickly. I'll take you to catch ghosts."

So, everyone took the hoe and rope, followed Qiao Xiaoxuan to the place where he sounded last night, and dug out a big scorpion. This scorpion is extremely huge, as thick as a pipa, and the poison hook is several feet long. It's really scary to see. When I went to Xijia again, I found that there was indeed a refined husband chicken; when I searched the North House, I also found the refined old sow.

The crowd slaughtered these three ghosts on the spot and invited the immortals in the village to surpass them. Since then, nothing has happened in this fairy temple.

Qiao Xiaoxuan traveled all the way west. That morning, he walked through a deep mountain. In broad daylight, Qiao Xiaoxuan met a fierce cannibal.

"You can't escape! Hahaha!" The evil spirit blocked the wise man and wanted to kill Qiao Xiaoxuan's life: "I'm hungry! My delicious lunch will come automatically!"

No matter how bold Qiao Xiaoxuan was, he was really shocked by the sudden ghost, but he immediately regained his composure and did not show a panicked look: "Okay! It seems that I can't escape! But can I ask you a question before I die?"

The ghost laughed and said, "What do you want to know? Speak up! I'll answer you right away."

Qiao Xiaoxuan pretended to be scared and asked, "Why are all the rest of your body black except your feet, chest and abdomen?"

The ghost replied, "The reason why I am a man-eating ghost is that I am fierce by nature and more ferocious during the day, but I can only walk behind my back to the sun, but I can't face the sun, so only my back is black."

"Oh! So that's it!" Qiao Xiaoxuan immediately ran quickly in the direction of the sun before the evil spirit came back to his senses. The ghost can't catch up with Qiao Xiaoxuan because he can't face the sun.

"My lunch is gone!" The devil saw the meat in his mouth fly away and had to hate it.

After running for a while, Qiao Xiaoxuan was sure that the devil could not catch up with him, so he stopped running and walked slowly. As I walked, I heard a woman crying. Qiao Xiaoxuan walked towards the sound of the woman crying and saw a woman tied to a towering tree.

Qiao Xiaoxuan hurried forward to untie the woman, and then asked who the woman was and why she was tied here.

The woman replied:

"I am an ordinary woman, but since I was six years old, I have had a strange shock and began to continue a different life. I have always regarded it as a story and don't want to believe it is true:

One day at the age of six, whenever I wake up from my sleeping eyes, I sometimes feel panic and can't even control my brain, as if my brain is blank, and then there will be a force to enter my body from below, and since then, my life has not been easy, because For the frequent occurrence of such incidents, but I don't know what it is at a young age...

"Un until I was educated in the women's school, my condition has not improved. The only thing is that I know what the power I have to enter my body every time from below me is, but I know that it has not improved my condition, but only increases my guilt, because it seems to be a kind of **. Desire, but what is certain is that it is not out of voluntariness, and begins to become more and more nervous and imitate, but even if I don't have the ability to filial piety to my parents at this time, I know that I don't want to increase my family's troubles, so I began to find solutions from fortune-telling, Western Wusheng Nirvana Immortalism, Eastern Xuanmen Zhengxian Taoism... , but there is never a follow-up.

"In this way, because of procrastination, I can't resist every time that force comes, but I always feel chagrin afterwards. Why is my determination so poor, why can't I resist the invasion of that power? As this power enters the body more and more times, the body gets worse and worse, until it needs to be nourished by traditional Chinese medicine for many years, but I still haven't talked about it to my family.

"After I got to work, the situation remained unchanged... For some reason, I was originally a girl who everyone thought was happy to see it, and I became a girl who everyone hated me and planned to kick me away step by step, but I didn't know it. In this way, I quickly left that place. Since then, every situation has gone from time to time to work, but I still think this is only a small part of the unsatisfactory part of life. It doesn't matter. It will pass.

"In recent years, because of the invasion of that kind of power in my heart, I felt too guilty. I began to come into contact with the Western Wusheng Nirvana Immortals, participated in the Dharma Conference, and also made a fixed class myself. But at this time, I was just immersed in the free practice and did not go deep into the practice mentioned by the Western Wusheng Nirvana Immortals. I understand that under a certain opportunity, I also came into contact with a similar person. He told me that all this was caused by my karma. I opened the charm to carry and drink, and followed it around to recite scriptures and the so-called Huiling Mountain. Because of this, it opened another painful experience for me.

"At first, I thought that this magical person was eager to help others, compassionate, and could help others with him, and I also wanted to participate very enthusiastically. One time, he took me into a temple and told me that if I wanted to solve karma, I could enlighten the spirit, so under the condition of ignorance, I agreed, but the crisis had already arisen. How come my body began to shake during the enlightenment process? Even when I participated in the Dharma meeting, I would hear a huge roar in the square, but the other party told me that it was normal, so I don't care. In this way, in the past few days after returning home, my body has still shaken from time to time and my head has begun to numb. What's more strange is that I heard some so-called voices that should not appear, and every time the power has also appeared that can express words. At this time, I think I should be glad that I have found an answer that has not been solved for many years, or should I be more worried. Bad future?

"However, since I heard their words, my situation has only been worse. They told me some of their causes and said that I abandoned them in my previous life, which made me start to suffer more and more. Originally, after reading the scriptures, I was a little determined to resist them, but after knowing the cause and effect they described, I began to feel weak and feel sorry for them and lose my determination. In this way, I have them almost every day. The only thing that remains unchanged is that after I was ordained at the age of 23, I knew that I must keep the precepts, so I, who was stubborn, would rather be bound to death than commit the crime of killingmas, I felt guilty every time, and every time the voice appeared was different. It seemed that it was not The same person.
