At this moment, a touch of white appeared in the east. The sky was about to brighten.
I was lying naked in the middle of the yard, with the concrete floor beneath me.
A large black dog was barking in my ear, causing my eardrums to hurt.
In front of me, there were many concerned faces.
Xiao Tao, Da Jian, Second Master Lin and the rest are all here, and they were all very excited to see me wake up.
Second Master Lin barked at the big black dog, who obediently went to the side.
I clearly remember what happened just now. What exactly did I go through?
Seeing my confused look, Second Master Lin said I lost my soul!
[What happened to me? How did he lose his soul?
The Second Master Lin said that he woke up in the middle of the night and saw that I had closed my eyes.
However, when I accidentally touched my ice-cold hand, a closer inspection revealed that I had lost my soul.
What happened just now felt like a dream. Could it be that my soul has left my body? This was too strange!
The Second Master Lin explained that I might be too tired so it would be fine.
Although Second Master Lin acted relaxed, I still noticed the worry in his eyes. Maybe things weren't as simple as he thought.
Only then did I realize that I was naked except for my underwear, and that my wrist was tied with a red string, the other end of which was tied to the neck of a black dog not far away.
I said why the black dog refused to leave, so it was tied with a rope.
When I untied the rope, I found that my feet were full of silver needles.
However, there was no pain at all.
I know this technique is called 'Silver Needle Soul-Sealing'.
The Second Master Lin nodded his head in satisfaction and told me, "Red String of Fate is connected to the bridge, and I am barefoot on the ground. The Black Dog calls out to the soul, and the Silver Needle locks the soul, and the soul returns to the body."
I was secretly happy in my heart, thinking that the Second Uncle was still unconscious, so I decided to learn a few moves from him. When I return to India in the future, I will try to use the Second Uncle on him.
Originally, I did not want to go to India anymore due to the events of the past few days, but when I thought about the Second Uncle, I still decided to go back.
Back at the house, I recounted my experiences after "losing my soul."
When I mentioned seeing a dwarf wearing "old clothes", the Second Master Lin frowned.
He asked me if I remembered what the man looked like.
At that time, I didn't know why, but I could see that person's entire body, but I couldn't see his face. The only thing I could remember was that person was very short.
Second Master Lin tried to recall if there was anyone so short in the village.
After going through them one by one, he didn't think that there would be such a short person in the village.
Seeing how nervous they were, I told them not to think too much. It was just a "dream" and not real.
Who knew that Second Master Lin would actually be so serious, what did he say was not true? This was the truth!
When I finished listening, my heart skipped a beat.
These words were not simple from his mouth.
Second Master Lin asked me, what else did I see?
I told him about the rest of the story, including the "hotel" and "train station."
After reading it, Second Master Lin's face changed greatly. He hurriedly pounded his chest for half a day before finally recovering from his shock.
We all asked him what was wrong, why was he so nervous?
The Second Master Lin shook his head. He said that the heavens truly have eyes, if I had been even a little bit late, I would have died.
Why should I ask? He explained the reason.
It turned out that the dusky place I went to was called the "Yin Market".
The "ghost market" was not a dark place, but a transformation from a "soul" to a "ghost".
As soon as a person dies or is on the verge of death, the soul will come to the Yin Market.
Legend has it that the place called the "Transition Station" was the place where the "soul" turned into a "ghost".
Anyone who entered the transition station would receive a "Ghost Token", which was equivalent to an ID Card.
When you come out again, you'll be a real ghost.
That is to say, you have truly died.
Then he would go to the "railway station," get on the train, and report to the real world.
Hearing this, my heart also shook for a moment.
You have to know, I had one foot in the "transition station"!
If I had been any later, I might have died... Just thinking about it made him afraid.
Whether it's true or not, I think it's good to be alive! To live now is a beautiful wish for me.
There's nothing to do for the time being, so we'll all go back to bed.
In my sleep, I saw the man again.
He called my name and gave me an "old dress."
I was awake in the dream, and I wondered if I had lost my soul again.
At the same time, he felt his body getting hotter and hotter.
Thus, he forced himself to wake up.
After opening my eyes, I sat up from the bed with a 'whoosh'.
At some point, I was dressed in "old clothes."
It was the same color, the same design, as the man I had met in my "dream," the same unutterable dissonance, and I cried out in horror.
Second Master Lin hurried over when he heard the commotion and was dumbfounded when he saw my clothes.
No one knew when the "old clothes" had been put on for me.
Second Master Lin thought for a long time before coming to a conclusion. The "old clothes" should have been worn by the dwarf.
So he was the one who led me to the "Yin Market"?
Second Master Lin shook his head. He said that he was not sure, but since he had put on "old clothes" for me, it was very likely that he would look for me again.
In this way, we formed a "bridge" between the two of us.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Didn't that mean I was wearing the "Tightening Spell"? Can't get rid of his control over me?
Second Master Lin patted me, telling me not to panic, he will think of a way tonight.
Since the clothes could be worn, he said, there was naturally a way to take them off.
It was not even noon when Da Jian returned.
They had waited for an entire night, but Bao Wenjun had not woken up yet.
Second Master Lin said that it was fine, you guys continue to stand guard, whoever is tired can go replace it, in short, there will be people watching.
I dared not go anywhere, but sat on the edge of the bed and blew the fan.
There was no choice but to wear the "old clothes" Second Master Lin.
But it makes me hot. Hey, what did you say I did in my previous life?
I asked Second Master Lin when he could take off his old clothes.
He seemed to be very sure as he said, "Isn't it just taking off your clothes? You haven't taken off your clothes?" Take it off at night.
I thought, you're the one who made me dress like I couldn't take it off, why do you sound like me?
But since he said so confidently, I won't think about it too much.
I ask Second Master Lin, when will Bao Wenjun wake up? When could Steamed Bun be buried?
He told me not to worry about it, that the village had asked the monks to come and do things for me.
If he said he was fine, then so be it. In short, I still believe in the Second Master Lin.
Second Master Lin said that he was going out to prepare. I asked him what he was going to prepare, and he said that he would take off my "old clothes" for me at night. He also told me to stay at home and not go anywhere.
