Chereads / The Covenant of the Spirit Realm / Chapter 4 - Black Book Case

Chapter 4 - Black Book Case

 The furniture city of the east head of the county seat is not difficult to find, I pedal big 28 used more than 20 minutes to arrive.

 

 Ning Haoyu's shop is also very easy to find, the door has been walking to the inside, the inside next to the toilet is.

 

 I came in with my 28 bike, no one greeted me, nobody asked me what furniture I wanted to buy, and obviously they didn't think I could afford their goods.

 

 To the door of Ning Haoyu's store, I saw a middle-aged man was bargaining with him.

 

 Next to them also put a pure black book, the middle-aged man from time to time in the book book, and then to Ning Haoyu for a while.

 

It probably means that this book case is not worth the price that Ning Haoyu said.

 

 Although Ning Haoyu long bookish, but temper is very smelly, listen to the other side said so, he said: " not worth the money, you go to the vicinity and turn around, if there is lower than my price, you buy them, if not, you come back, or this price, a point can not be less."

 

That middle-aged man is also a quick temper, blunt Ning Haoyu shouted two words will not do business and so on, and then turned away.

 

When the middle-aged man left, Ning Haoyu saw me and greeted me with a smile: " Lin Feng, long time no see, your grandfather is ok."

 

I stopped the car and said, " My grandfather is gone."

 

Ning Haoyu leng a way: " so, that you mourn!"

 

 Into his shop I pushed his shoulder a way: " sorry, my grandpa did not die, is to go, don't know where to go, right, you have no new old furniture here, I want to get one or two."

 

Ning Haoyu asked me what I did, I said, I am going to close the shroud shop, open a fortune-telling shop, later I will live on fortune-telling.

 

After listening to my words, Ning Haoyu "ha ha" laughed twice and said: " Just you boy, ok?"

 

I looked at Ning Haoyu a few eyes said: " you today wealth and silk palace is too unlucky, if I guess wrong, you opened the door from today has not opened."

 

 Ning Haoyu touch his nose way: " calculate your boy guess right, worth mentioning, see it, I this new goods are here, the warehouse is now empty, a few days I also ready to change business."

 

While I looked at the furniture in his shop, I asked him why he changed his business, this shop is not open well.

 

Ning Haoyu said: " My uncle opened a bigger shop in the city, let me go to help, I used to be a shareholder, this ancient furniture this line, in our county is not good to do, rich people or too few, the rich people in the city, and my uncle more, good to do."

 

Said he asked me to see what have no, I turned a circle down, also took a fancy to the door of that pure black book case, pointed out: " Well, that, how much money."

 

 Ning Haoyu looked at and said, " That thing? You want to want, I ride the electric three wheel free to send you to the past, but I as a brother, I have to remind you, that thing can be a little evil, in the evening always 'snap' all ring, as if who took the startled wood on the above knock, strange infiltration people."

 

"Oh?"Hearing Ning Haoyu said so, I began to feel a little incredible, and then felt that he was scaring me, my grandfather and I do dead business for so many years, also did not see any ghost.

 

Seeing me show a look of "disbelief", Ning Haoyu continued to say: " I am serious!"

 

I asked him if really, why not just to sell the book to just that person, Ning Haoyu said with a wry smile: " businessman, who do not want to earn more, I am not to see him like it, just want to raise the price to a high, this is our business practice, you do not understand."

 

 I laughed at him: " I don't understand your business method, the guests are driven away."

 

 Ning Haoyu let me less nonsense, asked me whether I want, to send me to the past, do not choose other, but to pay.

 

I have a principle in the above money, that is, can save a point is a point, since Ning Haoyu free to send my book case, but also free to me, I have no reason?

 

 So I patted my thigh and said: " Yes!"

 

 Then I bought a chair and an old bookcase here in Ning Haoyu, which spent more than 400 yuan.

 

 These things, Ning Haoyu rode the electric tricycle to send me, but also helped me to decorate the room.

 

 As for Ning Haoyu's shop, directly closed the door, anyway, he is ready to change the business, also not ready to finish these days.

 

 With my shop, Ning Haoyu and I ate kebabs and drank a bottle of wine at a barbecue stall near my house.

 

 I can not drink, seven or eight bottles began to some dizzy, Ning Haoyu is stronger than me, can help me walk, but also began to become no door.

 

 He told me that the book he sent me today was collected from the home of a dead old man. He heard that this book was the favorite place of the deceased, so after his death, the table rang every night, and his family could not stand it, so they handled the table.

 

 Ning Haoyu looked at the table at that time is ancient pine, wood, did not ask clear situation, spent money to accept, but later found the strange, after looking for someone to ask, and then want to go back is too late.

 

And since the receipt of the book case, Ning Haoyu shop business is getting worse and worse, sometimes for several days without business, he also wants to throw the book case, but whenever there is this idea, his heart will feel reluctant to give up, after all, it is to take money to receive.

 

 I asked Ning Haoyu, the table is not ringing every day, he said: " No, sometimes even for several days to ring, sometimes half a month did not ring once."

 

 Talk to my home, Ning Haoyu tonight to live here, my grandfather left, just he slept in my grandfather's room.

 

 But he did not want to, said that he did not like the old people's house, to sleep in my house, let me go to sleep in my grandfather's house, Ning Haoyu is a guest, give me a book, also helped me a lot, so I let him once.

 

 We soon fell asleep in drinking.

 

About two or three in the morning, I heard a vague sound in the yard, like the opening of the door or the sound of someone moving the table.

 

"creak!"

 

 I turned the body to continue to sleep, I think may be a tenant on the second floor back, because on the second floor in addition to the fat network, and a night late type tenant, is a woman, grow, but the line is very good, work in ktv, often thinking about using the body to offset the rent, but I refused.

 

 I didn't want to just explain it for the first time.

 

But I sleep not for a while is a "creak" sound came, and this sound than the last to a few decibels, and very harsh, let me body up a lot of goose bumps.

 

 I sleep of is sweet to the courtyard shouted: " the middle of the night back can not light? I wonder if everyone is asleep?"

 

 I shouted so a voice, for a long time outside there was no sound, but I just want to sleep ripe, outside and came a "creak" sound, and this time is several consecutive, I can hear really, not the sound of opening the door, but the sound of someone wiping the floor to pull the table.

 

 I "miso" a sit up from the bed, I then thought of the store put that book case thing, not the same as Ning Haoyu said, really haunted?

 

I looked out of the window. There was nothing in the yard, and there was no one on the stairs. It was dark outside, and I could barely identify the shape of the object.

 

 When I was fascinated, a dark shadow "whoosh" flashed in front of me, I scared a spirit, not back a few steps, at the same time shouted: " who!"

 

 No one answered me, but the direction of the dark shadow seemed to be my small shop.

 

I turned on the yard light, and then carrying the flashlight slowly walked out of the house, I thought, will not recruit a thief.

 

 At this time, Ning Haoyu also came out of the house, saw me and quietly asked: " You also heard."

 

I said, I also saw a dark shadow into my store, I estimate is a thief.

 

 Hearing this, Ning Haoyu lowered his voice: " Thief, let's catch it."

 

 I covered the flashlight with my hand, barely exposing some light on the road, and then together with Ning Haoyu went to the back door of the store.

 

It was a whole board, and there were no Windows, and we could not see anything inside, and I checked that the locks were intact, without any signs of leverage.

 

 Ning Haoyu way: " small wind, you are not a mistake, the door lock well."

 

 My in the mind is also puzzled, difficult not I just see flower eye, or be that thief on the second floor?

 

In the wild thought, my little shop gave a "snap", which was clearly someone with something knocking on the face of my new book.

 

Ning Haoyu a face of panic, tried to lower the voice: " his mother is this voice, seepage people."

 

I nodded and began to take out the key, Ning Haoyu took my hand and asked me why, I said: " light listen to the voice how to know is not a ghost, I want to see with my own eyes."

 

 Ning Haoyu took my hand and whispered, " Are you crazy? What happens if there is a real ghost?"

 

When I thought about it, I bit my finger and drew a vertical line on my seal hall, and then I drew one on Ning Haoyu's seal hall.

 

He asked me what to do, I said: " Yin Tang is easy to be invaded by evil objects phase door, so who want to provoke the ghost, will be Yin Tang black, I now use Yang blood seal Yin Tang, the ghost can not on our body, also can not harm us."

 

I paused and then continued, " But my grandfather taught me all this. I had never seen a ghost before. I didn't know it myself."

 

 Ning Haoyu thought for a while, and said: " I have never seen, or let's go to see, really not we run, you live in this yard, we do not need to be too afraid, right?"

 

 Discuss, the two of us surrounded each other to open the door of the store, the door opened, I dared to take a flashlight into a picture, we saw in the center of the book has been "people" pulled a large section.

 

And in the book case of a leg corner side also squatting a dark shadow.

 See that black shadow I and Ning Haoyu called at the same time 1: " who!"

 

 The dark shadow did not answer, but "miso", bowed up to a corner of my shop.

 

He was very fast, not exactly like the speed of a cat's waist.

 

 A look at the other side ran, I and Ning Haoyu courage also big, along with the corner to chase, while running my mouth also scolded a: " his mother, steal to Lao Tze here, know here before is why, birthday shop!"

 

I said the birthday clothes shop three words, I do not know how, my back is also suddenly cold.

 

 Ning Haoyu beside me a way: " you frighten him, or frighten me?"

 

 Say words I and Ning Haoyu one left one right blocked the shadow to the corner, took the flashlight for a while, found that he is facing the corner squatting there.

 

 This black shadow a head of white hair, wearing a black cotton-padded clothes, wait, cotton-padded clothes, but now summer ah, difficult is —— longevity clothes!

 

 Not only me, Ning Haoyu also thought of "longevity clothes", so we can not help but take a step back.

 

"Who are you?"I took the flashlight to at the shadow a few times.

 

 At this time I calm down to see, mom, ah, the light of my flashlight has passed through his body, according to the corner, and the corner has not left his shadow.

 

 When I was surprised from ear to ear, the dark shadow moved, his hands suddenly grabbed the wall, and then climbed up against the wall like a gecko.

 

 Before that, when he climbed to the roof, his whole body went into the ceiling and disappeared.

 

Only left me and Ning Haoyu stood in the same place.

 

Ning Haoyu swallowed and said: " Do you see, small wind!"

 

I also swallowed a spit and said: " see, I am not blind!"

 

 We stood here for a while all feel cold, back, then hurried out of my small shop, locked the door, Ning Haoyu asked me how to do, I shook my head and said: " I have not encountered this situation, just that guy should be a ghost."

 

Before I only heard my grandfather say how the ghosts, never saw the ghost, always think that is grandpa made up the story, but now I touch myself...

 

 When I was thinking, Ning Haoyu touched me and asked: " You said that guy into the ceiling, will not go to the second floor, the room above your shop is your which tenant?"

 

Ning Haoyu reminded me that the guy had not run away, but may have drilled into the upstairs room, the tenant is in the KTV woman.

 

I said so Ning Haoyu asked me: " won't happen, don't you die here again, your house will never rent out."

 

"pah!"I interrupted Ning Haoyu and said:" Don't blind, follow me upstairs to see, break my wealth, even if a ghost, I will know for a while."

 

 Ning Haoyu still wanted to pull me, but I had already stepped up the stairs.

 

 See not pull me, he had to follow.

 

Soon we arrived at the ktv woman's door, the light in the house is dark, very quiet, no sound, also do not know what happened.

 

Ning Haoyu whispered asked me how to do, I thought for a while knocked on the door, soon inside the ktv woman some frightened voice: " who?"

 

I whispered, " I, the landlord."

 

 The ktv woman's voice recovered some said: " originally is the landlord little brother, I am not convenient today, come to that, you come again another day."

 

Looks like she just misunderstood me.

 

Ning Haoyu looked at me nearby and asked, " Do you often come here?"

 

I worried back to him: " fart, this is the first time, bah bah, what the first time, we are here today to catch the ghost."

 

I and Ning Haoyu talk some urgent, estimate ktv woman in the room also hear some, ask: " landlord little brother, there is someone next to you? What did you just say to catch, ghost? Is there a ghost in your family?"

 

 I quickly explained: " no, you heard wrong, we just said is to catch a thief, just someone ran to the following shop to steal things, I come up to ask, see you have a thief here."

 

 Since I said so, the tenants on the second floor are shouted up, each is very normal, did not see that shadow, toss for a while, I said, the thief should be run, by the way let everyone check there is no little thing, tomorrow good report.

 Everyone said there is no less, this thing is over.

 

 Under the floor Ning Haoyu did not dare to sleep alone, said to sleep with me, I actually dare not a person, so we crowded in my grandfather's room for a night.

 

 Neither of us slept much that night, thinking about the shadows, but we were suspicious, and we fell asleep almost before dawn.

 

 It was already at noon when we woke up again.

 

 The first thing I do after getting up is to go to my small shop to see what is going on.

 

After going in, Ning Haoyu and I found that the book last night was clearly pulled off the case actually back to the center of the store, and almost exactly the same as we put yesterday, as if what we saw last night is a dream.

 

Ning Haoyu circled around the book twice and said: " What happened?"

 

I shook my head, Ning Haoyu continued to say: " small wind, otherwise so, let's burn this table, too evil, the elder brothers don't want to harm you."

 

I went to the side of the book is also turned two circles said: " this thing burned, I estimate the trouble is bigger, the ghost is based on the book case and born, if we burn it, he must haunt us for a lifetime, now the best way is to try, can send the guy away."

 

Ning Haoyu asked me, " Can you still do this again?"

 

I white Ning Haoyu said: " my grandfather taught me, but I used to listen to the story, did not take it seriously, so not too careful to remember, can become, I do not know, but before ready to send him away, I have to do one thing."

 

 When Ning Haoyu asked me what had happened, I took a deep breath and said, " Give him a look!"

 

"You're crazy. Show the ghost?"Ning Haoyu pushed me off.

 

I said with a wry smile: " This is my grandfather set the rules for me, he said that if I met a ghost in the future, if you want to send the ghost away, it must first give the ghost a look, I thought he said crazy words, but now, I think I am his mother is crazy."

 

 Ning Haoyu patted me on the shoulder and asked me: " What did your grandfather do before?"

 

 This I really can't answer Ning Haoyu, because I don't know grandpa before he is doing what, he said he is just a fortune-telling, and very powerful, but fortune-telling how also with the ghost on the relationship?

 

When I and Ning Haoyu chat in the small shop, listening to the upstairs suddenly came a "dong dong dong" footsteps, someone is desperately stepping on the floor.

 

This voice let me a little irritable, looked up and shouted: " crazy?"

 

 I this shout, the above not only did not stop but stamp the rhythm of the foot faster: "Dong Dong Dong..."

 

 This next made me angry bad, this all dare to challenge the landlord.

 

 Ning Haoyu and I went straight up to the second floor, and then we walked straight to the KTV woman's room, and the voice came out of her room.

 

When we went upstairs, we found that the doors of the other rooms were locked, only her family open and open. She stood at the door with the frame with her hands, her head down, her hair in front, her feet standing on the floor near the door.

 

 See, I a go up to pull her way: " you why, crazy?"

 

 When I pulled her wrist, I felt it cold, so I pulled her hand off the door frame and quickly released it.

 

The ktv woman was also stopped by me, but her head was still low, silent, and motionless.

 

Ning Haoyu said beside him: " I see something is wrong with her."

 

 Do not need him to say, I also see out, so I dare not to shout to her, can only calmly go to ask her: "feed, beauty, you zha..."

 

 Before I had finished speaking, she suddenly lifted her head up.

 

 Her face was half of the makeup, half looked white, the other side of some yellow, at first glance I thought it was Yin and Yang face.

 

 I was shocked by her appearance, and almost never shouted out the word "ghost" to her face.

 

 In addition, her eyes are also very strange, usually she looks at me are smiling, my eyes are narrowed into a line, but today, she straight leng Leng to stare at me, the eyes are full of the expression of resentment.

 

 Most importantly, she grinding her teeth in my face, as if she wanted to eat me.

 At this time I have looked at her face a time, Yin tang black, mildew, Yin evil invasion, in other words, this ktv woman was the ghost.

 

 Also, between his eyes, the nose against the disease palace appeared a lot of small pattern, this is the phase of a serious illness, indicating that this ghost will bring her a great patient.

 

 And her eyebrows, also the facial life guards have fallen off, which shows that the next patient is likely to reduce her life, or even directly kill her!

 

The more I looked at her face, the more surprised I was.

 

 Ning Haoyu pushed me and said, " Let's go downstairs. She is wrong."

 

 I said "um", but just as I was about to leave, I suddenly turned back and put my thumb on the ktv woman.

 

 The person is sober phase door, can wake up the person's mind, I so little is thinking of her true consciousness to wake up.

 

 And my point is not an ordinary place, but with a breath of gas, this is also my grandfather to my qigong method, but now I can not even "gas" completely clear, so this point seems a little reluctant.

 

Fortunately, the woman did not guard, I was lit, although she did not awake, but also did not continue to go crazy, but the body a soft paralysis down.

 

Ning Haoyu asked me, " Did you knock her out?"

 

I said: " little nonsense, help me to carry her into the room, I will try my grandfather taught me the magic."
