I quickly shrunk my neck and sat down on the chair closest to me. As I sat down, I glanced back sharply. But except for a cloud of dust that seemed to have dispersed, I saw nothing.
Moreover, the dust was very inconspicuous under such dim light. It would have been difficult to spot it unless I looked carefully.
Hu Zongren saw me slumping down on my seat. He must have realized that the situation had changed, so he quickly leaned over and squatted down. He asked me what happened and got on guard. I told Hu Zongren what I had just said
The ghost was right behind us, and he reached out and scratched my neck, but I didn't know what it meant. Hu Zongren said to me, look at your compass and see if he's still around.
So I took out the compass and looked at it carefully. The movement on the compass was a little different from the clear and stable state a few minutes ago. That is, I could feel that although this ghost was around us at the moment, it was not interested in us.
I don’t feel like I want to have direct contact. Although I can’t tell whether it’s goodwill or malice, at least I know that it is interested in me and Hu Zongren at this moment, just like a kitten seeing a ball of yarn. The only difference is that I
Hu Zongren and Hu Zongren are the ball at the moment.
I was a little scared and said to Hu Zongren, why don’t we retreat to one side first? It’s so open here that it’s hard to tell where it appears from. Hu Zongren nodded and moved toward the wall near the fire escape.
He said, let’s go to that place and lean against the wall, so there’s no need to worry. Then the two of us covered each other and ran to the base of the wall as fast as possible. Hu Zongren and I stood side by side, but with our backs against the wall, with the help of the screening room
The light inside looked around me, and I checked the compass from time to time.
Since we have been in this environment for a while, Hu Zongren and I have gradually become accustomed to the surrounding light. People are like this sometimes. For example, when I wake up in the middle of the night and open my eyes, I can't actually see anything. But
After keeping my eyes open for a while, I will find that I can actually see the things around me gradually because of my glasses' habit of using light. So now the clarity of my compass is even clearer than when I just walked into this screening room.
A lot. The pointer on the compass is still beating as always, and the intensity is almost the same as when I fell on the seat. So I judge that the ghost is still around not far from us at this moment, and it is very likely that it was the ghost just now.
When Zongren and I leaned against the wall together, it also moved with us.
Hu Zongren asked me in a low voice, what do you think we should do now? I said how the hell do I know what to do? I originally thought we had to at least turn on the projector to draw out this ghost, because according to Mr. Li’s previous description
In other words, the few times we witnessed ghosts, at least they were all while the movie was being shown. This was a mistake on our part. How did I know that I would be able to have direct contact with ghosts in just a few minutes after I came in? Hu Zongren thought
I want to think about it, let's walk around this screening room for a while pretending to be okay. You should always keep an eye on your compass. With such a large range, if it keeps following us, if we are attacked, we will hit you hard.
Yes, if the compass's response suddenly changes in a certain place, then it must be a place it is unwilling to go to, or is afraid to go to. Let's think of other ways.
I thought about it and felt that there seemed to be no better way, because if we rashly turned on the projector at this moment, no one could predict what would happen during this period. So I agreed to Hu Zongren and asked me to go ahead.
, Hu Zongren followed behind me to protect me, and I was too lazy to spare any extra energy to look at the compass again. Following the direction of the wall, we began to walk towards the big screen. There were several small steps there, probably the screening room.
It had also been used as a stage earlier. My steps were deliberately slow because walking too fast would cause instability to the compass. But when we circled about half a circle, we returned to the entrance.
When we were at the guardrail, the supernatural reaction suddenly became violent, and I knew that it was approaching us again.
I said to Hu Zongren, let’s stop. The guy is right next to whoever we are. Hu Zongren stood still and began to murmur the incantation. Although it was whispered, it was quiet and sealed.
In the screening room, the sound can still travel very far. Hu Zongren's mantra is also a kind of requiem mantra. The purpose is to calm those restless ghosts. At least you listen to what I say first. Yao
The mountain mantra is indeed more effective. After reciting the mantra for a period, the reaction on the compass began to return to calmness. Even if it existed, I noticed that it was a lot quieter.
So we continued walking, and after a full circle around the screening room, the compass was still the same as before. So we felt that the ghosts here had basically calmed down at this time, and at least they would not pose a threat to us for the time being.
So Hu Zongren said to me, go up and turn on the projector, and then play those movies one after another. There are charms posted on the lintel of the projection room, and there are also small openings, so it should be fine. I nodded and went,
I am very talented at operating machinery. I quickly set up the crooked tripod, and at this moment I saw the Bagua mirror that the projectionist had placed next to the computer on the table.
This is a copper-faced Bagua mirror, and the Bagua is an innate hexagram. Among the Bagua mirrors on the market, it is not a commonly used type. Although the innate hexagram has flaws, it is the most primitive one, so in a certain
To a certain extent, masters who use Xiantian hexagrams are often relatively powerful masters. The center of the Bagua mirror is a concave arc surface. Like most Bagua mirrors, it is used to focus light and utilize the power of Bagua.
The principle of the solar cooker is concentrated to one point, which is why most ghosts are afraid of being directly hit by the Bagua Mirror. I put the Bagua Mirror on my body because I might need it later, and no one wants it anyway.
Be a good person and accept it. I recognized the incantation on the mirror, and judged the sect of the Taoist gentleman based on this. It was neither Buddha, Tao, nor Yin and Yang, and the number of people was very small. The name of the sect was Shanchuanmen, which originated from
The Qinling Mountains were more prosperous than the Tang and Song dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty began to decline. There were less than a hundred disciples scattered across the country. And in Chongqing, among the people I knew, there was only one master who came from this sect. His surname was Wang, and people in the industry called him Wang Laoyao.
He is a strange person. When he puts on the robe, he becomes a master. When he takes it off, he becomes a grumpy old man who likes to listen to Sichuan opera. He has a strong personality and a clear sense of love and hate. He also doesn't like to associate with the masters on the road. He has saved people because of
He has died many times, and his reputation in the industry can be regarded as both good and evil. Most people don't understand him, and naturally they don't dare to contact him easily.
So for many years, I have heard about it many times, but I have never seen it, let alone come into contact with it. I guess people like Hu Zongren and I would not bother to make friends with us. Even people like Situ who have been doing business in Chongqing all year round,
Keep a respectful distance from him. In Situ's own words, some people don't know the details. Rather than getting to know them and being burdened by them, it's better not to get to know them in the first place. So although I don't know what channel Mr. Li of this movie theater used
I found this Master Wang, but when I thought that the person this Master introduced him to later turned out to be Xuanyuan Hui, I even gave up the idea of getting to know him.
I started to adjust the angle of the machine, and then turned on the machine as Mr. Li taught me before, looked at the margins projected by the projector on the screen through the small opening, and then started to play the three movies. And when I
When we returned to the screening room, Hu Zongren had already sat down, and his posture was still very comfortable, as if he was really invited to watch a movie. After seeing me walking over, Hu Zongren said with a smile,
The feeling of having a private room is really good. Would you like Mr. Li to bring some Coke and popcorn? I glared at him. Although I was a little wary, I looked at the compass and became quiet at the moment, so I continued
During the time I came down, I stood and sat down several times. Finally, I decided not to worry about it and sat down.
The movie lasted a long time. Since I didn’t know where the point was that triggered the ghost to reveal its true form, I didn’t dare to fast forward or jump directly to the movie "Cape No. 7". I could only watch in silence.
Wait, we didn't turn off the lights in the cinema during this period. After all, we weren't really here to watch a movie. I've always known that Hu Zongren is a carefree person, but he seemed to have left all the vigilance work to me.
, I was watching movies there by myself. If I were a ghost with harmful intentions at this moment, Hu Zongren would definitely be my prey.
I observed the compass from time to time and looked around from time to time. I could see more clearly under lighting conditions, but because the sound of the speakers was too loud, I couldn't hear the sounds in the surrounding environment clearly, which also made me confused.
I became even more nervous, so in my opinion, every minute and every second in a movie theater, which is meant for relaxation, was torture.
After the screening of "Mei Lanfang" ended, I didn't notice anything unusual. The movie on the series was "Cape No. 7". Halfway through the movie, I actually found that Hu Zongren fell asleep. Looking at him
That ugly sleeping appearance made me feel mischievous, quietly lit a cigarette, and then flicked the ashes into his half-open mouth. After Hu Zongren smashed his mouth several times, he still didn't wake up.
So I clasped my middle finger and thumb together and flicked Hu Zongren's nose hard.
With a cry of ouch, Hu Zongren jumped up in pain. But at the same time, I also heard another sound. It is difficult for me to describe that sound. It was like an accent. If you want to distinguish it, it is a
