I guess I drank a little too much water before going to bed. When I was sleeping in the middle of the night, I was awakened by urine. I reluctantly turned over and walked to the bathroom with sleepy eyes.

I couldn't tell whether the moonlight outside was bright or the sky was about to be bright. There was a layer of fog in the room, white and there was no need to turn on the lights. The bathroom was next to the bedroom, and after leaving the bedroom door, he turned to the left, pushed open the door and walked in staggeringly.

The toilet in the bathroom is located at the innermost point, and the right side of the door is the wash basin. Generally, when I wake up at night, I habitually walk directly to the toilet, without looking at the wash basin, because there is a big mirror above the wash basin.

Mirrors are originally something with heavy yin energy, while the bathroom mirror is even more so. It always feels a bit strange when looking in the mirror in the middle of the night, so I always bow my head and walk forward. When I come back, I deliberately avoid the mirror.

After untiing his hands, he still half-closed his eyes and walked back. At the moment when he was about to walk out of the bathroom, he glanced at the mirror on the wall in a strange way.

The mirror is dark and bottomless.

In the mirror, I was so angry that I was as white as a gray face. My blood-filled eyes were not at all energetic and dull as if I was dead. In a trance, I found a hand slowly stretching out from the mirror...

Seeing this strange scene, I felt like I suddenly fell into an ice hole and immediately woke up.

My heart was beating and raised to my throat. There seemed to be countless little bugs crawling on my scalp, numb and very uncomfortable. I plucked up my courage to look in the mirror again, and then I found that my face seemed to be better, not as white as before, and I had no hands to stretch out. Then I felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

But I always felt something was wrong. I tried to turn my head slowly in front of the mirror and moved. Suddenly I found that the images in the mirror were not synchronized with my movements. No matter how I moved, I in the mirror was slower than my actual movements. Seeing this terrifying scene, I couldn't help but scream...

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around carefully. Where was there any mirror?

I was still lying on the bed and didn't go to the bathroom at all. I just had a dream.

I looked up and looked at the sky outside the window. It was already a little brighter outside, and I was no longer sleepy now. I was lying on the bed with my eyes staring at me. When I recalled the scene in my dream, I was still shivering and still scared.

Until dawn, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

I was really bored, so I took out the notes written by Liu Ye that were sorted out by Lao Dao Xuan and read them carefully from the beginning.

Regarding Usa, this old Taoist wrote a lot of things, but most of them were very strange and I couldn't believe it.

As I flipped through, I saw a passage of text that recorded how to check whether the witch curse was put on. I suddenly thought of Daya’s worry at the beginning. We did burn the corpse of the nun. As for whether the "Chi Daku" is as evil as the legend, I have always doubted. If it is really like the witch curse that the nun himself said, this "Chi Dakuse" can be passed on infinitely, could we have been accidentally caught on like Xiaobao?

The test method of text records is very detailed. After reading it, I had a desire to try it. Once I had this idea, it would be like taking root in my heart and sprouting, and it was uncontrollable.

I quickly ran to the pharmacy downstairs to buy some items such as cinnabar, atractylodes, rhinoceros horns, etc. After I got home, I found an empty bowl, added half a bowl of water, put all the things I bought in the bowl, found three copper coins and rolled them in a few times, threw them in, stirred them, and looked at the bowl of water in front of me, which was really disgusting. I really don’t know who developed this method? Is it effective?

I waited for five or six minutes until the impurities in the water were almost settled. I took a sewing needle, burned it with a lighter, then pierced the index finger of my left hand, dripped a few drops of blood into the bowl, and stared at the bowl with a look of disgust.

After a few drops of blood dripped into the water, it spread immediately. When I saw this, my heart calmed down a little.

But in a blink of an eye, the bowl changed. The drops of blood that had been dissolved in the water gradually gathered strangely, just like magnetic force, absorbing countless tiny blood beads together, and finally formed a blood bead as small as a grain of rice, which slowly floated to the water surface and finally stopped moving.

Seeing this, my head buzzed, it was blank, and I couldn't hear any sound in my ears, and time seemed to be still.

According to the old Taoist notes, this method of testing the curse is "ferguwen" in Manchu, and the willow leaves are translated as "via Guwen" according to the pronunciation. It is said that in Manchu, it means "effective". This method of testing can be seen at a glance as long as the blood aggregates and changes, that is, "the blood dissipates and there is no Gu, and when it reaches the clear, there is no poison. If the blood gathers beads, it will be evil, if the line gathers, it will be evil, if it hangs in the air, it will be stagnant, if it sinks in the water, it will be dead, if it floats in the water, it will die."

Seeing that his blood gathered in the water into blood beads floating on the water surface, according to the old Taoist saying, he had already been hit by the demon.

Looking at the bowl of water in front of me and the drop of blood that had been gathering but not dispersed, I felt like I was hit by five thunders. Every part of my body was a little sore, leaning on the sofa weakly, my heart surging.

If someone had told me about curses and witchcraft before, maybe I still had a little doubt. After all, they were only seen in books or heard by others. But the experience over the past few days has made me no longer have the courage to doubt whether this ancient witchcraft exists. The originally unsolid fortress in my heart would have been completely overthrown.

I suddenly realized a problem. If I had been hit by a demon, what about the big teeth? What about the willow leaves?

Although the room was very warm, at this moment, I felt like I had fallen into an ice cave, and I couldn't help but start a cold war, sitting on the sofa in a daze.

After more than an hour, my mood gradually calmed down. I got up and poured out the things, simply cleaned the table, then lit a cigarette, sucked it hard.

I know that this matter is probably not as simple as we imagined. We can't ignore it just by ignoring it. From the day we returned to the grave circle, we have joined this "game", and the rules of the "game" are completely unacceptable. This was formulated hundreds of years ago. If we ignore it, we will probably be the next little treasure and might die one day.

I picked up the phone and called Daya, saying that I wanted everyone to get together again. Before I mentioned this, Daya interrupted me. It was probably because he thought it was troublesome and didn't want to come to Beijing from afar, so he kept talking about the long journey, the journey was exhausted, the friendship did not have to be restricted by form, etc.

But after hearing what I said about the "Chi Jian", Da Ya was silent for about half a minute, and then began to whisper, saying that he had already taken life and death lightly, what was the joy of life and death? What was the fear of death? What was the "No one in life has ever died since ancient times" started to talk nonstop again. I was so angry that I was so angry that I was going to hang up the phone.

Hearing me that I was going to hang up the phone, he giggled twice and told me that he was the first priority in brotherhood. I couldn't wait to think of us. I took a bus tonight and arrived tomorrow morning.

After putting down the phone, I thought about it and decided to call Liu Ye. After all, this kind of thing cannot be stopped because of concealment. If Liu Ye is like me, I would be more harmful to her if I conceal it like her. At least I would have a better chance of knowing it earlier, so I called Liu Ye again.

After answering my call, Liu Ye was surprised when she heard her tone. She probably didn't expect that she had just parted yesterday and called her again today. When she heard that Daya was coming, she was also very happy. I talked to Liu Ye about time and agreed to meet at my house.

Early the next morning, Daya arrived in a hurry and asked me in a hurry what was going on. I said the whole story of the blood test after meeting Liu Ye these two days ago. Daya was a little stunned after hearing this, and he muttered "Early October" and "Only October" in his mouth, and then muttered "Chi Jian" and "Vi Gu asked", just like being possessed by a demon.

I had prepared a bowl and water a long time ago, and then used the same method to test the big teeth again. As expected, like me, blood beads gathered together and floated on the water.

Although I had expected this to be the case, I was still a little shocked for a moment. It seemed that this "Vigu asked" didn't seem to be talking nonsense. I guess there was something wrong with us.

It was not long since the willow leaves came up. As soon as we entered the door, we could see that we were a bit like eggplant made from frost, a little wilted, and it was also unclear.

Big Ya no longer had the same poverty as before, she just smiled bitterly, nodded, and even said hello.

When Liu Ye sat down, I had to tell the truth in a singular way. Liu Ye's expression became more and more shocked. After listening to me, he kept looking at Daya and me, and finally looked at the bowl on the coffee table. The blood beads on the water surface were still gathering together, not dissipating or dissolving.

Liu Ye looked at the bowl with his eyes and asked me to try it for her, whether it was a blessing or a disaster or a disaster.

I glanced at the willow leaves, nodded, and made it the same. After the blood of the willow leaves dripped into the bowl, it disappeared directly into the water and dissolved invisible in a moment. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, as if there was no blood dripping in the bowl at all.

Daya and I looked at each other, first and then we were happy. After all, this kind of thing is not a good thing. If we can get less involved, we can get less involved.

Daya saw that Liu Ye was worried about us, and patted her belly: "Girl, you don't have to worry about our brothers. Think about it, everything has a shelf life. This thing has been done for hundreds of years and probably has expired long ago. Even if it doesn't work, it probably has no power. If DDT is left for 180 years, it will be almost the same as carbonated beverages."

Liu Ye heard Daya’s nonsense and knew that Daya was teasing her, but seeing how relaxed our mentality seemed to have improved a little.

Liu Ye asked me and Daya what to do next.

Daya and I looked at each other and told Liu Ye truthfully that we actually didn't want to care about this matter anymore. There were too many things involved in this matter and it was not something we could solve. But now it seems that there may be a glimmer of hope if we continue to investigate, and giving up is waiting for death. Therefore, Daya and I will go back to the Northeast in a few days. We must investigate this matter and make it clear.

At the same time, it also showed our attitude. Daya and I asked Liu Ye to continue teaching honestly. We could not wading into muddy waters no matter what we said. We would tell her in time if there was any new progress.

When Liu Ye heard that we didn't want her to go back, she felt a hundred unwillingness in her heart and strongly demanded to go back with us. As she spoke, she almost cried like an aggrieved child.

Daya saw this and patted Liu Ye's head: "Girl, you must go there, because you are directly related to people, and Lai Liang and I are indirectly involved. But, from another perspective, the school is about to start. As a teacher, you are the messenger who delivers firewood, the gardener of the flowers of the motherland, and the pioneer of teaching and solving doubts! For the sake of children, for the future of the motherland, and for building a harmonious society, you cannot leave your post without authorization! The world belongs to ours, and also to those children, but sooner or later it belongs to those grandchildren!"
