Chereads / The Covenant of the Spirit Realm / Chapter 19 - Saving Lightning

Chapter 19 - Saving Lightning

Due to the good business every day recently, I don't have to keep the store open late every day. I will close the store at six or seven in the evening and then go to the bank to deposit money at the ATM. The same applies today.

 

After saving money, I was thinking about going to eat something, so when I crossed the street, I was a little distracted. It didn't matter if I was distracted. A motorcycle coming towards me almost hit me, but luckily I reacted at the last moment and took two steps to avoid it.

 

However, because I couldn't stand still, I fell and made a big cut while leaning on a stone. In an instant, the blood stained half of my palm red.

 

The person riding the motorcycle saw that I was injured, but he didn't dare to stop. He stepped on the accelerator and ran away in a flash.

 

My palm was cut, which can be considered a bloody disaster for me. Could it be because I have been deciphering too many hexagrams recently, and my good luck has run out, so I am starting to have bad luck?

 

A few enthusiastic passersby came over to ask me about the situation. I shook my head and said it was okay, so everyone dispersed. I went to a nearby clinic alone to get a bandage, but luckily it was just a skin cut and didn't require stitches.

 

After bandaging, just as I was about to leave, I saw a news on the TV screen on the wall of the clinic. It said that the leader of a unit in the county had committed suicide by cutting his wrist at home after being reported by a female subordinate. Due to excessive blood loss, he was sent to the hospital for rescue but died despite efforts.

 

Oh, isn't this guy the one reported by the female accountant who came to me for divination.

 

I was wondering when the doctor who bandaged me said, "This kind of corrupt criminal commits suicide. What's the point of saving him? If he sends me here, I'll give him a ride. It's a waste of the country's money

 

I thought to myself, no matter how poor the medical conditions in this county are, I can't deliver it to his small clinic. So I said to the doctor, "The heart of a doctor's parents is like a human life

 

The doctor waved his hand and said, 'Is his life worthy of being called a human life?'

 

It seems that this doctor is still a cynical person.

 

After bandaging the wound, I had eaten outside before returning home. When I walked in, I found that the light in Xu Ruohui's room was already on. I tried to say hello to her and wanted to say a few words, but she only answered me with "um" and "oh". After a few words, I felt bored and went back to my room to practice the qigong technique my grandfather taught me.

 

It got dark quickly that night, and by around nine o'clock it was raining outside. I was afraid that the door on the rooftop might not be closed, so I went to close it with my flashlight. When I reached the second floor, I still felt a bit eerie around me, especially in the room of Xiang Li, which left me with a deep "problem".

 

The roof of my yard is sealed with glass, and raindrops make a "popping" sound on the glass. The rhythm is not very fast, and it sounds like a quiet night singing with a single note, which is very pleasant.

 

Gradually, I began to feel less afraid.

 

I closed the glass door on the top floor and was about to descend the ladder when suddenly it creaked and opened again. At the same time, a gust of cold wind carrying rainwater blew in, wetting my entire face and making me shiver uncontrollably.

 

Looking up at the glass door, it had already opened again and was constantly swaying in the wind, making a creaking sound. The pleasant atmosphere just now had completely disappeared, and now the atmosphere was somewhat terrifying.

 

I felt like I hadn't locked the door properly, so I went up and closed the glass door, forcefully inserted the latch, and checked twice before coming down from the ladder. This time, the glass door didn't open again, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

 

I went to close the glass door on the top floor, there would definitely be some noise, probably disturbing Xu Ruohui. She walked out of the room wearing a long robe and pajamas and asked me what I was doing upstairs.

 

Someone was talking to me, and I wasn't afraid anymore. I just said, 'Go close the door on the top floor.'.

 

Xu Ruohui said "Oh" and went back to the room, but she didn't give me a chance to talk much.

 

Following the second floor in a circle is the staircase to the first floor. When I reached the staircase, I used my flashlight to shine behind me, and there were no special circumstances.

 

So I was about to step downstairs, but at that moment, there was a sudden "thump" in my heart. Wait, when I looked behind me just now, there seemed to be something wrong.

 

I slowly turned my head again and found two rows of wet footprints on the second floor corridor behind me. One row was mine, and whose was the other row?

 

I swallowed my saliva and followed the footprints to see which direction "it" was heading. "It" was going downstairs in the same direction as mine, and according to the location of the footprints, the owner of the footprints seemed to have been standing behind me to the left.

 

I feel a chill behind me as soon as I think about it.

 

The last place where the footprints fell was right next to me. I slowly lifted my head to look at the position on my left shoulder, which was empty and I couldn't see anything, but I already felt something in my heart.

My scalp suddenly exploded. What the hell is going on? I just sent off an old man not long ago, and then sent off a Xiang Li. Today, another guy came over. My family won't be able to live in anymore?

 

I took a deep breath and didn't dare to stay on the stairs for too long. I hurriedly ran down and then crawled back into my room. Wang Yuhui once said that this room was where my grandfather used to live. My grandfather has great abilities and keeps a heavy yang energy here, which makes it difficult for ghosts to enter.

 

As soon as I entered, I quickly closed the door and realized that those footprints were no longer on the floor of my room, which instantly relieved my heart.

 

But I also thought, if those footprints don't follow me, where will they go? They won't go to Xu Ruohui's room next door, will they!?

 

Thinking of this, I quickly opened the door and saw those wet footprints walking towards Xu Ruohui's door. What should I do? How can I stop it? The method of defeating ghosts in Xiangmen is that my grandfather once said, to defeat ghosts, you must first see ghosts. In Xiangmen, to see ghosts, you must use qi to open the "inspector" in your facial features, which is the Xiangmen of your eyes.

 

As long as you pass through this phase gate, you have opened the Bright Eye, which is the spiritual eye of Taoism, and you can see ghosts.

 

Without much thought, I focused on my luck. The small fish like airflow finally appeared at my dantian position, but it was a bit unstable and always trembled, as if I would scatter it if I didn't pay attention.

 

I can't care about that much anymore, so I carry this weak airflow up my body and into my eyes.

 

Although the airflow was weak, as soon as I entered my "Inspector" door, my eyes felt a cool breeze and my vision became much clearer. At the same time, I saw a blurry black figure approaching Xu Ruohui's room.

 

Without thinking too much, I rushed up and punched the black figure hard. I punched him hard, but couldn't hit him. My fist went straight through his body, and I also stumbled and fell because of the excessive force. The wound on my palm immediately became sharp and painful, and blood stains appeared under the bandaged gauze.

 

I made a noise here, which alarmed Xu Ruohui. She was a little scared and asked, "Who is in the yard

 

I'm afraid of scaring her, so I said, 'It's me, I'm packing some things, don't open the door!'

 

Xu Ruohui remained silent, and the dark shadow ghost finally stopped under my interference. I could see his face clearly, a pale face with deeply sunken eyes, a black and ominous aura on his nose, and lifeless eyes staring straight at me.

 

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and took a few steps back on the spot before daring to stand up.

 

He slowly raised his hand and then pointed straight at me

 

That's it, it came at me again. When did I provoke such a ghost?

 

Suddenly, I felt a surge of excitement in my heart. This ghost had a face full of death, and the Wealth Palace was filled with evil wealth, even spreading to the Seal Hall. It means he died in vain because of evil wealth. Could it be that he was the leader of a certain unit who committed suicide at home today?

 

But what does his death have to do with me? Why did he come looking for me?

 

The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of rainwater hitting the glass is becoming more and more urgent. Coupled with the whistling wind, this rainy night is gloomy and terrifying.

 

He looked at me and slowly approached me, making a constant "sob" sound from his mouth, as if questioning, blaming, or even resenting me.

 

I'm getting anxious right now. It's none of my business for him to commit suicide. Does he think I'm inciting that female accountant to surrender and expose him?

 

Could it be like this? Before turning herself in, the female accountant went to this leader, told him about fortune telling, and persuaded him to turn himself in like her, but the leader refused to listen. As a result, the female accountant turned herself in, and then denounced the leader.

 

After being reported, this leader knew he was doomed and chose to commit suicide, while transferring all the hatred in his heart to me, the fortune teller. That's why he drifted to me after his death and then came looking for me.

 

After understanding the general situation of this matter, I secretly felt unlucky in my heart. Why does every bad luck brought by my fortune telling always come from encountering ghosts?

 

Just as the black shadow was about to pounce on me, a thunder suddenly struck the sky, "rumbling", followed by a bright lightning bolt falling from the sky and directly hitting the glass roof of my house.

 

With a flash of light, a hole was cut through the glass roof of my house, and countless pieces of glass fell down. I quickly hid to the side, while the black shadow ghost let out a "wuwu" scream and escaped through my door.

 

The thunder came so suddenly.

 

The glass on top was broken, and the rain outside was falling in a "whoosh", accompanied by a smell of something burnt on top.

 

The loud noise startled Xu Ruohui out of the room. She asked me what had happened, and I pointed to the roof and said, "Thunder has broken the roof of our house. This hole is too close to your door, and water has hit your door. I guess you won't be able to sleep well tonight. So, you can sleep in my room, and I'll sleep in your room tonight

 

Xu Ruohui looked at the continuous rain hitting her doorstep and said, "Okay, but you're not allowed to touch my things

 

I nodded, thinking to myself, I still have that thought in my mind.

 

My heart is filled with the suicide ghost and the inexplicable lightning incident just now.
