Page Boy’s Yin & Yang Road - C12
“Little Nun Qing, long time no see.” Wu Ji stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back. His cotton and white clothes were clean and tidy, and a light smile hung on his face, as if he was harmless.
After we broke up at the train station last time, we occasionally contacted each other on WeChat, but didn’t hear him mention coming to see my aunt.
“Why are you here?” I asked in surprise.
Hearing that, First Aunt walked out, and saw Wu Ji standing in front of the door, she immediately called out to him warmly, the relationship between the two of them was even more intimate than I thought.
After entering the room and drinking half a cup of tea, Wu Ji finally said that he had come under the order of Master Zhi Yuan.
I listened to half believing and half doubting, thinking to myself, what big deal could there be in this little village that requires his help from far away? Moreover, last time, Wang Xiuzhi was so serious, she was completely taken care of by her.
The first aunt did not seem to doubt him at all. After hearing what Master Zhi Yuan said, she slightly frowned and did not say anything for a long while.
Regardless of whether Master Zhi Yuan’s conjecture was true or false, Wu Ji still stayed over for the time being. Because there wasn’t an inn in the village, he used the miscellaneous rooms as his rooms.
When I thought of his rune stone again, I asked my aunt about it in front of her face, thinking that he would not ignore my question if she was with him.
Sure enough, this time, he obediently answered my long tangled question.
Wu Ji said that this was originally a piece of Death Jade of high quality. In the Tao techniques, Death Jade were usually used to seal the souls of the wrongdoers and to exorcise evil spirits. The more impurities there were, the better the Death Jade would be.
After the Death Jade had been engraved with a rune, it could also go to exorcise evil spirits. However, what was sealed inside were no ordinary vengeful spirits, but evil, evil, evil, resentment and baleful qi.
Simply put, the ghosts that stay in this world and do evil will carry all sorts of evil, evil, resentment, and evil Qi, and that piece of Death Jade can absorb all of these evil spirits and seal them within the Death Jade.
The vengeful spirits that had been devoured by evil, malice, resentment, and killing intent would no longer harbor evil thoughts in their hearts, making it easier for them to soar into the heavens. This was a good thing for those who had suffered greatly and for those who had suffered greatly.
After hearing that, I suddenly thought of something. “No wonder you were so relieved to have Huang Wancai take that case to the temple to handle things. It turned out that you already knew that the evil aura had been removed from the spirit inside the box, and would not continue to harm others.”
Wu Ji smiled lightly and nodded, “That’s exactly the reason. It seems like little Nun Qing isn’t that stupid.”
I rolled my eyes at him, too lazy to bicker with him.
The aunt was a little worried, she said that since the Death Jade absorbed the evil, evil, resentment and baleful qi, this Death Jade would become very dangerous, what should she do with it?
As the saying goes, “The good will become the immortal, the evil will become the evil”. No one knew how much evil, evil, resentment and evil Wu Ji had collected from that Death Jade. These evil auras could turn harmless spirits into life seeking evil spirits, and it would also have an impact on humans.
However, Wu Ji was not worried, saying that he had his own ways. Furthermore, if it was necessary, that Death Jade might have an unexpected use.
He did not know if his aunt completely trusted Wu Ji’s abilities or something else, but she nodded her head and did not ask anymore.
Although I felt that the Death Jade was very strange, after knowing the principle behind it, I no longer stuck to it.
However, at that time, I never would have thought that the Death Jade that was quickly sealed with evil, evil, resentment, and baleful aura would become my life saving object later on.
With Wu Ji around, life was no longer so boring.
When my first aunt went to investigate some matters, there was someone of the same age who accompanied me to chat with them. Although Wu Ji had a venomous tongue, he often choked me with a few words that I couldn’t refute.
But in general, it was pretty good to me, like an elder brother. And I’ve always wanted to have a brother since I was a kid.
He will also teach me some body training techniques. According to him, if I practice them properly, I can maximize my potential and also strengthen my body.
When my aunt learned that she was very supportive, she said it would be of great benefit to me in the future.
With aunt’s support, Wu Ji’s demands towards me are even stricter, if not up to his standards, you’re not allowed to eat!
I had always been reluctant to be held back. That night, after a few words from him, I got angry and went out for a walk to get some fresh air.
However, he did not know why he ended up in the cemetery at the western end of the village!
When I came back to myself, there was no one around, not even the sound of the insects on the summer night. The night wind blew through the thin T-shirt, causing me to shiver.
Eldest Aunt’s House resides at the east side of the village, which is at least one or two kilometers away from the tomb.
Not daring to think any further, he took out his phone and was about to call Wu Ji. But the thought of him talking about me in the afternoon made him angry.
I decided to walk back myself, thinking how many times I’ve been through this, so what’s the big deal about going to the grave?
There was no cemetery in this remote part of the village. After people died here, most of them would ask their teacher to choose a Feng Shui beautiful cave and bury it here in the west. After generations, the Western Tomb would bury at least two or three generations of people here.
I’ve lived in the village for so long, and I’ve never been here before, because my aunt says I’m weak. If it’s not necessary, I’d better avoid hospitals and tombs. He never imagined that he would come here for no reason.
As I walked, I could not help but let my imagination run wild. I saw that the lights of the village ahead of me were not far away, but after walking for a while, I saw that they were still far away, as if they were getting farther and farther away as I moved forward.
Feeling something was wrong, I stopped and looked around. It was dark behind me, so I could no longer see the grave bags and tombstones, but I could also not see the old wooden arch at the entrance of the village.
There were only mountains and trees around him. From time to time, the branches and leaves would sway in the night wind, just like ghost hands that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
I was suddenly at a loss. I couldn’t tell where it was. It was as if the only thing left in the world was the light that I could never seem to touch.
He didn’t dare to be angry anymore and immediately called Wu Ji. He would rather be ridiculed than stay here alone in this damned place for another minute!
But when I looked at the phone, I was dumbfounded. There was no signal! But that was clearly a full screen just now!
Looking at the time, it was already almost 11 PM. When I went out, it was only 6: 30 PM. I felt that I had only been out for less than an hour. Why is it 11 PM already?
The situation became even weirder. I calmed myself down and tried to think of what was going on. At the same time, I quickly headed towards the light.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t find anything wrong with it. At that time, I grumbled about Wu Ji’s venom in my heart while aimlessly strolling outside.
The only strange thing was that I didn’t realize that I had walked so long and so far!
At first I thought it was the Wall-Hitting Ghost, but the old method of drawing right-angles and cursing obscenities didn’t work. The trees around me were changing, but the distance from the lights ahead was not shortened.
After tossing and turning for a long time, it was after 11 o’clock. It was already midnight.
Ever since I was ten, I have never been out so late by myself. I couldn’t help but start to panic, hoping that my aunt and Wu Ji would find me soon.
At the same time, I tried hard to recall the emergency measures that Wu Ji had taught me before, to find a way to save myself.
He had said that there were many times when he thought that he had encountered terrifying ghosts and supernatural beings. However, most of them were illusions created using the five senses of a human.
This was because humans would rely on their vision and surrounding landmarks to identify the path, and by using this point, they could design a marker, allowing people to move around in circles. This was the so-called Wall-Hitting Ghost.
I looked at the lights that were still far away and suddenly thought of something.
From the moment I realized that I was approaching the tomb, I turned around and saw the light. I subconsciously assumed that it was the light of someone else in the village, so I used the light as a marker to point me in the right direction.
But suppose that the light was the center and that I was always circling around it in the dark?
After all, in the absence of any other powerful reference, the light at the center, no matter where I looked, was so far away!
Understanding this point, I suddenly understood!
