In the pitch-black night, the talisman in his hand suddenly turned to ash and fell to the ground. Lin Xiangcai was completely devastated!
Wasn't this talisman blessed by a high monk? Wasn't it said to ward off disaster? But why did it turn to ash with no effect?
Just then, there was a cracking sound. He looked down and was horrified to find that the Buddha pendant he wore on his chest had also cracked!
This Buddha pendant was obtained from a temple when he visited the land of transgender people, and it was said to be very effective.
He had spent millions to acquire it, but now, even this Buddha pendant...
Little did he know that the Buddha pendant and the talisman were not mere decorations; they did possess a sliver of magical power. However, this power was no match for the endless stream of malevolent energy seeping into the house, and it was directly destroyed!
Lin Xiangcai found it hard to believe that what he was seeing was real. He suspected it was a dream, so he raised his palm and slapped himself repeatedly. After more than ten slaps, his own face was swollen, but the situation before him remained unchanged!
For a moment, Lin Xiangcai felt as if his body had plunged into an ice cellar. He was a very superstitious person, deeply believing in ghosts and spirits. This bizarre situation seemed to have only one explanation: he had encountered a ghost!
Suddenly, the bedroom door lock made a clicking sound, and the door was pushed open with a bang. A gust of black wind howled in from outside, and the temperature inside dropped by more than ten degrees. Lin Xiangcai's hair stood on end!
Overwhelmed by immense fear, Lin Xiangcai could no longer bear it. With a surge of strength he didn't know he had, he leaped out of bed and stumbled towards the door.
But as he reached the door, a black wind struck him, making him dizzy. He took a few more steps forward and suddenly tripped, only to realize he had fallen back onto the bed!
"This... this is... ghost wall!"
The so-called "ghost wall" refers to the phenomenon of losing one's sense of direction, experiencing blurred self-perception, and not knowing where to go when walking at night or in the wilderness, thus endlessly circling in place.
When such experiences are told to others, they are often difficult to comprehend, hence the name "ghost wall." In reality, it is a state of hazy consciousness.
However, in ancient times when consciousness was less developed, people often regarded this ghost wall as a supernatural phenomenon.
Many people, especially in desolate areas or the wilderness, where it was pitch black, frequently encountered this situation.
But encountering a ghost wall in one's own home, like Lin Xiangcai, was truly unheard of.
In fact, it was the malevolent energy and the magnetic field it generated, along with the negative energy, that interfered with Lin Xiangcai's cognitive system!
Trembling, Lin Xiangcai climbed out of bed and desperately tried to rush out several more times, only to be pushed back each time.
"What to do, what to do!"
Despite the low temperature in the room and his body shivering uncontrollably, sweat poured from his forehead.
Even his only pair of underwear was now soaked; the old man had wet himself from fear!
Suddenly, a flicker of light appeared in the darkness!
Logically, any glimmer of light would bring hope to someone lost in despair in the darkness.
However, Lin Xiangcai's body jolted as if struck by electricity. He leaped up, cowering in the corner and trembling, because the flame that had ignited was green!
Flames can exhibit various colors depending on their temperature, but green flames are extremely rare in everyday life or nature.
However, based on common knowledge, green flames represent only one thing: ghost fire.
Human bodies contain a large amount of phosphorus. In ancient times, most people were buried in the ground. After death, corpses would slowly decompose, and the phosphorus elements from the body would seep from the ground to the surface.
Phosphorus has a very low ignition point and can easily self-ignite upon contact with air. This phosphorus fire emits a green hue, which is why ghost fire was frequently encountered in ancient cemeteries, especially during the summer.
Lin Xiangcai was a well-traveled man. In his youth, he had seen ghost fire before, but that was in a cemetery. Now, this ball of ghost fire had appeared in his home, seemingly out of nowhere!
Initially, the ghost fire flickered and was only about the size of a fist, but as time passed, he watched helplessly as the ghost fire gradually grew larger, eventually reaching the size of a person's body!
Then, something even more terrifying happened. The ghost fire seemed to slowly transform into a human shape, and within the flame's face, human features could be vaguely discerned!
At this moment, Lin Xiangcai's eyes were wide open, his mouth agape. He wanted to shout, but no sound could escape his throat. Looking at the human face that gradually appeared on the ghost fire, he felt an increasing sense of familiarity!
After a moment, he suddenly remembered. The appearance of this human face was none other than Ling Tian, the grandson-in-law of the Wang family, who had recently been in a plane crash!
As he thought of this, his pupils contracted sharply, and his heart nearly leaped out of his throat.
"Lin Xiangcai... Lin Xiangcai..."
From the direction of the ghost fire, a low and eerie voice faintly transmitted.
"You... who are you!"
"I am Ling Tian, I died so miserably... I don't even have a complete body... sob..."
Seeing this, a foul odor suddenly emanated from the room. It turned out the old man had been so scared that he had lost control of his bowels, even expelling his dinner.
"Every wrong has its source, every debt has its owner. I didn't kill you, why are you looking for me!
I have no past grievances with you, no recent enmity..."
"I have no enmity with you either, why did you bully my grandfather, why did you bully my wife...
Even though I am dead, my family, Ling Tian's family, cannot be bullied by just anyone!
I won't allow you to bully my family, you must come with me..."
As the ghost fire-like figure spoke, it drifted towards him.
"Ah... don't come near me... don't come near me... ugh..."
As the ghost fire drew closer, Lin Xiangcai's eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.
Seeing this, the ghost fire's face revealed a sinister smile, and then it suddenly vanished!
More than ten seconds later, Ling Tian appeared outside the courtyard. With a flicker of thought, the jade pendants and obsidian牌 he had buried in the ground all disappeared.
Instantly, the black cloud that had enveloped the villa began to dissipate slowly, though the oppressive feeling over the villa still remained!
