My name is Zhao Chenyang. I’m 20 years old and will graduate next year.
But because of my unfortunate interest, I embarked on a path that others would never think of in their lifetime.
That day I took the braised goose to see my master and happened to meet my senior student Wu Lei. I know him, he is very hardworking and often does part-time jobs when he has no classes. To be honest, I admire him.
So I wanted to help him, but I don’t know why the master didn’t agree.
But after eating a few pieces of braised goose, the master was pleased again, but he asked me to go.
He said, "You've been learning for a while, it's time to put it into practice." So I followed Wu Lei to his house.
Wu Lei's hometown is a small mountain village, dozens of kilometers away from the city. The scenery is beautiful, but I always feel that this place is a little weird. My master said that it was because I encountered a ghost before, so I accidentally gained more perception than ordinary people.
I don't understand, but I think it's pretty awesome.
Wu Lei's family is indeed very poor, and can even be described as penniless. I couldn't understand why his eldest brother still wanted to gamble in such a family. But after seeing his eldest brother, I was touched. A man of 27 or 28 years old, with a look of dementia on his face and drooling.
According to Wu Lei, it wasn't like this before.
According to the procedure, I should have clasped my hands and called out to my master at this time, but unfortunately my master did not come.
So I had to find a way out by myself. Before leaving, my master taught me a spell. He said it was enough to deal with ordinary little ghosts. I looked down at the mahogany carved brass knuckles in my hand, feeling a little skeptical.
Wu Lei's mother was not very welcoming to my arrival. I can understand that. After all, they had encountered Lan Dao several times, who was the liar as the master said. It was not until I said I would not accept money that their family's attitude improved a little.
According to my master's instructions, I need to find a rooster, stuff a piece of yellow paper with Wu Tiansheng's birth date and time written on it into its mouth, tie it up with a string, and then tie a piece of red rope to the rooster's feet and the other end to Wu Tiansheng's body. When midnight comes, I just need to follow the direction of the rooster's head.
To be honest, before midnight, I kept wondering if Master really meant for me to take the chicken back home. His usual meals weren't very good, and according to Master, he was short of money, one of the five vices and three deficiencies that plagued him. As for me, he said I hadn't yet achieved enlightenment, so it didn't count. I didn't know what constituted enlightenment, but I figured as long as I wasn't left alone, that would be fine.
It was midnight, and the lifeless rooster suddenly started moving, so I followed the direction it was heading. Wu Lei followed behind with his brother Wu Tian, and behind them were Wu's parents and relatives. They were probably afraid that I would lose Wu Tian.
As I was walking, I heard someone behind me say that Wu Tian's mass grave was not far away. I suddenly felt a little timid. To be honest, I even blamed my master at this time. He actually let me catch ghosts alone?
But it was obviously too late to regret now. Suddenly, a thick fog appeared in front of my eyes. I could still see Wu Lei and Wu Tian disappearing in the fog when I looked back. I felt a little cold all over. It must be the extra perception at work.
