not scary story

It was already completely dark.

On the night of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, there are usually no people on the street, but the smell of burning paper money can be smelled in the air from time to time.Yan Jiu lowered her head and walked forward without looking sideways, looking cautious and fearful as if she was avoiding something.

On the way from the bus station to home, I met a few old people who burned paper money. Dense incense sticks were stuck in the cement cracks, flickering candles were burning at the intersection, and ashes from paper money were flying everywhere. No matter how careful you are, you can't avoid it completely.Yan Jiu walked close to the corner of the wall, but his hair was still stained with a little dust.

He swallowed, and hastened his way home.Don't dare to run, because moving too fast will attract the attention of something.

"Ah Zhong, I'll take some more when I come back today..." The old lady knelt on the corner of the street, adding things to the fire while chanting.

Yan Jiu's eyes twitched, he seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye, his stiff neck twisted to the other side, and he began to recite "I didn't see anything" desperately in his heart, holding on to the strap of the schoolbag with both hands, seeping through his back. I broke out in a cold sweat.

He hates July.

I even hate the driver who got into a car accident at this time, causing himself to be stuck in traffic and can only go home now.

When he arrived at an alley that he had to pass by, under the dim light, a gust of cold wind blew in his face, Yan Jiu's hair was about to stand on end in fright, but he refused to look up, and only concentrated on walking his own way.

"... Alas..." The voice of Youyuan suddenly approached and then moved away.

Cold sweat slipped from the forehead to the collar.

"Dong dong dong..." Stiff footsteps were approaching him.

You must never look back, walk in a straight line, and even if you will bump into them, you must never go around them... With the corners of Yan Jiu's mouth pursed, he forcibly bumped away from the cold, hard and smelly thing in front of him. He scratched his shoulder, and saw that he walked straight forward without turning back, so he didn't catch up again.

Just one kilometer, but it seems like a century.The moment Yan Jiu touched the doorknob, his legs finally began to tremble.

After opening and closing the door, he quickly covered the door with cinnabar amulets, and then pushed the stool against the door. He slid against the wall and sat on the ground. His mouth was trembling and his eyes were red. However, there was no one in the empty room who could comfort him.

The message posted on the shoe cabinet reads my mother's message: support Tibet for half a year, come back before the Spring Festival.

A big tabby cat that didn't look good at all walked up to him and "meowed", but it wasn't trying to comfort him, it was more like urging the excrement shoveler to add more cat food to him.

Yan Jiu rubbed her eyes and walked into the room with her schoolbag.

The big tabby cat also went in, "Meow" turned into a dissatisfied "Meow", Yan Jiu complained in a nasal voice: "I know, you have to let me take a bath. The ashes of the paper money outside are still on me. "

The tabby cat flicked its tail, and simply lay down at his door, waiting for this stupid human being to perform his duties as soon as possible.

Yan Jiu carried a set of SpongeBob SquarePants home clothes into the bathroom.

He let out a breath of relief as the water from the shower head poured down.

His life never seems to be smooth and smooth.

On the day Yan Jiu was born, his father died in a car accident.It was a thunderstorm night, and the father, who was busy driving to see his son, had a car accident on the way and died on the spot.It is said that Yan Jiu's mother had a difficult labor, and Yan Jiu gave birth half an hour after her husband had a car accident.

Yan's father's family, who thought this was a disaster, broke up with them after several property disputes.Since she was born without a father, thanks to Yan Jiu being very obedient and not crying or fussing, her mother, who was almost depressed because of this incident, quickly cheered up.

Yan Jiu's mother is indeed a strong woman. As a doctor in the emergency department of a hospital, she is often so busy with work that she can't go home once.Yan Jiu was sent to her grandmother's house just after her full moon, and Yan Jiu's mother was so busy that she insisted on driving five or six hours back to her hometown to visit her son two days a month.

She hoped that the warmer village would make her son's life happier.But where did she expect that Yan Jiu would have yin and yang eyes.

When he was very young, he could vaguely feel that there were some non-human things around him, when he was still living at his grandmother's house in the country.There are only some old people and young children left in the village, and the boundary between life and death is very blurred.

It was a small water village in the south, and what Yan Jiu remembered most were the rotten taro fields, the streams with overgrown water plants, and the back view of his grandfather floating on the black water in a boat.

Yan Jiu's yin and yang eyes didn't cause too much trouble at first.That village has always been very peaceful, with no big treacherous people, and no mysterious history. Except for occasionally seeing some deceased old people standing at the door of their homes, waiting for their children who went to work in the city to return home. Nine hadn't been in any trouble.

When he gradually grew up, he finally realized that what he saw was not the world in the eyes of ordinary people, and he could already see more things clearly.The black shadow hiding in the taro field turned out to be the youngest son of the Zhang family who had been dead for a long time; the crow standing on the dead wood turned out to have three eyes; A few days later, an old hen would be taken away as if nothing had happened; when there was a flood, a strange big ape with four ears would appear in the village, and so on.

He was terrified.The real appearance of those things is not so pleasing, if they disturb them, they will threaten Yan Jiu ferociously.

Grandma is the barefoot doctor in the village. Every time Yan Jiu is scared to cry, although grandma can't see, she will loudly scold those little monsters who dare to scare him. People's ability is getting stronger and stronger.

In this way, Yan Jiu, who has yin and yang eyes, grew up healthily in this gentle and peaceful water town.

Until the night when his grandmother and grandfather died at the same time when he was 12 years old, Yan Jiu's sky finally fell.

He cried and grabbed the man in white clothes who was about to take away his grandparents, not allowing him to take their souls away. The two old people helplessly stopped Yan Jiu.

Xiaojiu, we are already up to the time, but your grandma has accumulated virtues so that I can accompany her to accompany you until today.Grandpa patted his head and looked helplessly at his pitiful grandson crying until his eyes and nose were all glued together.

Why cry, grandma didn't reincarnate so soon, grandma will watch you go to college before leaving, when we're not here, you can't be so timid, you know?Grandma was more powerful, raising her eyebrows to warn Yan Jiu.

Yan Jiu cried even more earth-shattering.

The man in the white clothes smiled amusedly: This child's yin and yang eyes are quite strong. There are very few people who can see me, and even fewer people can catch me. The little guy can go to an old way to learn, maybe I can go down to see your grandma in the future.

Yan Jiu sniffed immediately and asked: Really?

The man froze for a while, then smiled again, and was about to show him a way, but was interrupted by the old lady: Xiao Jiu, don't go to study any mess, go to university, find a good job, live a peaceful life, this world Humans and ghosts are equally cunning, even human beings can't handle it, how can you learn how to play ghosts, Bai Wuchang, can you go, or if you don't, I will go!

The corner of Bai Wuchang's mouth twitched, and he immediately gave Hei Wuchang a wink who had been silent all this time, and left with the two old people.

Yan Jiu was crying and chasing after them. The old people were afraid that they would become ground-bound spirits when they were on the road, so no matter how much Yan Jiu cried and how many times he fell, he never turned back.

A small boat woven of water plants appeared in the stream that became more eerie in the dark night. After a group of people boarded the boat, the boat slowly disappeared into the black mist rising from the water.

This is Yan Jiu's first encounter with Black and White Wuchang.Only later did he know that because countless people die every day in the world, it is impossible for Black and White Impermanence to seduce everyone. Only those who have accumulated merit and are at the end of their normal lifespan will come to the door in person.

Later, Yan Jiu met Black and White Wuchang several times on various occasions. When the little guy saw them, he thought of his grandparents, so he hated and feared them, but when Bai Wuchang saw Yan Jiu, he would immediately come to him , and asked him how he was doing recently, if he had any adventures, and if he needed to introduce some teachers he knew.

At such times, Yan Jiu would squeeze her mouth tightly and shake her head desperately.He wants to listen to his grandmother's words and never play tricks.

It's a pity for Bai Wuchang.Now that the population is increasing, the desires and thoughts of mortals are becoming more and more complicated, and the original manpower of the underworld is simply not enough, so they often hire some Taoist priests and heavenly masters to help them deal with things that are inconvenient for them to come forward. If it is, the long-term employment price will not be as high as those old fritters.

Not long after grandma and grandpa passed away, Yan Jiu was taken back by her mother.From then on, Yan Jiu's nightmare really began.

Compared with the gentle and quiet water town, G City, a metropolis surrounded by reinforced concrete, is full of various stories every day. Life and death are so common and frequent. Under the neon lights, there are all kinds of ugly desires. Wherever he goes, there are countless crimes hidden.

The demons and ghosts who used to only appear in the countryside are attracted by the dark atmosphere in the city. The complex metropolitan environment has become their most comfortable hive, and the countless dark corners in high-rise buildings are the best habitats. land.

As soon as Yan Jiu arrived here, she was so frightened that she dared not leave the house for a full month.In the end, it was Yan Jiu's mother, Yan Ling, who took him and taught him to comfort and even irritate him under the sun for a long time before the little guy cried and nodded and agreed to go to school.

Maybe it's because of Yan Ling's great merit in saving lives and healing the wounded. Even though she is in the emergency room all year round, where the boundaries between yin and yang are blurred, she is like a talisman with Buddha's light, and the demons will retreat wherever she goes.When Yan Jiu first came to G City, Yan Ling was very clingy, but Yan Ling's job gave him too many opportunities to be clingy, so Yan Jiu had to learn to be independent from a slug.

In fact, you can know what happens to a child who suddenly loses protection and is frightened frequently.When Yan Ling found out, Yan Jiu had changed from the child who often laughed to timid and cautious.

Fortunately, the junior high school life of the timid Yan Jiu is quite smooth.Yan Ling, who couldn't spare much time to take care of him, chose a school close to home for him. Yan Jiu only needs to rush home before the sun goes down, and everything will be fine.Although Yan Jiu has yin and yang eyes, he never publicizes his own story. He studies every day except for studying. Even his friends are academic masters. Even the teacher can only write "I hope I can be more lively" in the final summary.

In high school, Yan Jiu got used to the real face of the city a little bit, but it was limited to being able to control not to cry when encountering ghosts.

Relying on various materials from the library and the Internet, he also gradually recognized some common ghosts and ghosts.

It turns out that the monsters in Shan Hai Jing are quite rare. Now in this city, most of the useful monsters are kept in captivity by some celestial masters. The weak monsters live low-key in the dark, and often haunt the streets. Yes, most of them are dead ghosts who died unexpectedly.

Sometimes while walking, one can encounter a ferocious ghost, climb out of the manhole cover, hug the tires of a car, and cause a series of car accidents. The driver of the car is often either killed on the spot or seriously injured and turned into a vegetable.

To others, it was a cruel accident, but in Yan Jiu's eyes, it was a heart-pounding revenge story.

So Yan Jiu doesn't like this city at all.

But there is a mother here.Without her grandparents, Yan Jiu must never leave her mother again.He could only lower his head, trying to pretend he didn't see anything.

Always pretending to be a peaceful life, until Yan Jiuman was full, there were waves again.

Recently, Yan Jiu found that ignoring those ghosts was no longer effective. They seemed to smell Tang Monk's meat, and they began to appear in his field of vision frequently. He pretended to ignore them, but he still felt more and more threatened.

Their eyes seemed to be waiting for Yan Jiu to gain weight, ready to move.

There is more and more water vapor in the bathroom, which is abnormal.

Yan Jiu felt suffocated, and hurriedly opened the bathroom door, wanting to take a breath, but he stepped on something slippery under his feet, he screamed, and fell heavily to the ground.

The tabby cat stood up immediately and kept barking towards the bathroom.

Yan Jiu rubbed his eyes, as if he saw a big white snake in the water vapor, panic immediately made him get up from the ground, before he ran, he didn't forget to grab the underwear in his hands, and he ran while wearing it, screaming He said: "Namo Amitabha, Namo..." I couldn't help but look back, and my underwear almost flew out of my hands in fright: "Oh my god! My mother...ah! Why did it follow here! Big flower! Go away !"

The cat named "Big Flower" bristled angrily and bared its teeth at the uninvited guest.

The picture of the pet cat being braver than its owner didn’t arouse Yan Jiu’s fighting spirit at all. The teenager started flipping through the bookcase in only his underwear, took out a stack of charms bought on Taobao, and started to go to that one one by one. The white snake crawling out said: "Namo Amitabha, Prajna Paramita... No... This is from Taoism... Hurry up like a law! The sky is spirited, the spell is spirited quickly! You, you, you, don't crawl!" Get into my bed!"

Seeing that her dragon bed was actually stained, Dahua jumped over angrily, and slapped the white snake, which was several times bigger than herself, with one claw. However, the thick scales made its attack completely ineffective. The white snake raised its head and looked at Dahua. Spitting out the blood-red letter, Yan Jiu, who was hiding behind the door and throwing the spell, almost cried: "Big flower! Don't, big flower! Don't provoke it!"

"Meow..." Da Hua, who ignored her master's pleading, stepped forward bravely. Being a wild cat, it deftly avoided the attack, and then struck back with its claws. The white snake seemed to feel the threat, and finally shrank back a little.

Yan Jiu hugged the door panel and shivered for a long time. When she saw that Da Hua was almost hit by the snake tail, she finally suppressed her fear and rushed to pick up Da Hua who was still wanting to fight, and quickly rushed out of the room. He slammed the door shut, and then pasted all kinds of charms, cinnabar, and mugwort on his door.

All this took only three seconds.

There was no more movement in the room before Yan Jiu sat limply on the ground.

Before he could breathe out, the door of the living room was knocked forcefully.

The young man's heart tightened, he picked up the big flower and tremblingly looked out of the cat's eyes.

In the dim light of the corridor, there stood an unbelievably beautiful...

boy?

Yan Jiu rubbed his eyes, wanting to confirm if there was any shadow of the other party, the door panel was knocked violently again, the boy's expression was so impatient that he seemed to be about to smash the door if he didn't open it again.

"You, who are you?" Yan Jiu asked through the door.

"Check the water meter! Open the door!" The boy replied in a vicious voice, and it seemed that he really had a work permit hanging around his neck.

Yan Jiu swallowed: "It's inconvenient today..." There is such a big monster in the mother's room, even if he can't see it, if he is bitten by a snake and dies in his room, how will he explain it to the police?

"Don't be wordy, we must check today, otherwise the water and electricity will be cut off immediately!"

Isn't it fatal to cut off water and electricity in summer!

Yan Jiu quickly opened the door, and this boy, who was more shining than an idol star, glanced at him, and strode towards his door.

"Wait, the water meter isn't here..." Yan Jiu hugged the cat and wanted to stop it, but the other party pointed to the messy pile of things on his door, raised eyebrows and looked at the embarrassed Yan Jiu.

"I'm kidding..."

"Bought from Taobao, three yuan each?" The boy sneered.

How about five yuan a piece, free shipping if the Pearl River Delta is over [-]... No, this is not the point! "Didn't you check the water meter? Here..."

"Can you see that thing?"

"What, what?" As soon as Yan Jiu asked, she immediately realized what he might be referring to, opened her mouth wide, and just wanted to say, "I can see it best, and save me the effort to explain." Before Yan Jiu said no, the boy Pushed open his door.

In the room, there was a big white snake entrenched on Yan Jiu's bed.

The boy didn't seem to be frightened at all, even if it opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards him, his calmness was not in the same dimension compared to Yan Jiu who was so frightened.Just when Snake Fang was about to touch them, he conjured a dagger out of nowhere, dodged the attack, and inserted the dagger into the white snake's abdomen from bottom to top.

A puff of black smoke came out of the white snake's mouth, and then its figure rapidly became smaller, and finally turned into a small snake no thicker than an arm.

Yan Jiu stopped crying halfway, leaving only her mouth open.

The boy threw the snake into the backpack and walked out without looking at Yan Jiu.

"Wait...wait!" Yan Jiu hurriedly chased after him, "Didn't you come to check the water meter!"

"It's over. Remember to pay the bill on time." The boy didn't even look back. His person was the same as his punk outfit, so cool that he had no friends.

"...No, I, I mean, you...you have a useful spell...can you sell me some..." The last word became weak in the mocking eyes of Chi Guoguo.The boy lowered his head in embarrassment, trying to grab the hem of his clothes, only to realize that he was wearing nothing but underwear.

The scariest thing is that he's still a stupid SpongeBob in his panties!

Yan Jiu's face was so red that it could bleed.

"My talisman?" The boy sneered, "You can't afford it. If you're afraid of dying, go learn some skills. The online ones are all fakes. Even the five yuan amulets in temples are better than them. Also, you The cinnabar painted on the door just now is also fake."

"... Can this be fake?!" Yan Jiu exclaimed angrily.

"It's dyed with paint." The boy rolled his eyes, "I said, let it go, I'm going home to sleep."

"...Please, where can I go to learn?" After this night, Yan Jiu finally collapsed.

Grandma once said that she would watch her go to college, but until now he is in his sophomore year, and grandma has never appeared.

He knew that grandma would never show up again, the promises he had made would no longer be binding, and his mother would not be able to stay with him all the time, maybe he should consider what Bai Wuchang once said... Taoism for his own safety.

The boy finally looked back at him, as if interested: "Interesting, young, and more meritorious than the old man. He still has a yin and yang eye."

"Kindness?" Yan Jiu opened his mouth wide again.

"...you idiot who doesn't understand anything. What made you alive?" The boy slapped his hand away impatiently, "I don't know anything, and I have no obligation to tell you. Get out of here."

Watching the other party slam the door and leave, Yan Jiu can't catch up no matter how thick-skinned he is.He sniffed, glanced at Dahua who was asking for food irritably, squatted down, and muttered to himself: "Hmph, don't tell me if you don't tell me, I'll ask Bai Wuchang. When I learn it, I'll be smarter than you." Awesome..."

The young man who said this had his mouth flattened, as if he was about to shed tears because of his grievance.

Dahua flicked his face with her tail, and seemed to be laughing at this timid master.
