The carpenter knew that his time was short, and he was poor at hiding from ghosts in the coffin
My name is Li Dazhu, and I am an ordinary carpenter, who makes a living by making furniture and doing carpentry work on weekdays. Recently, I always feel that my body is getting worse day by day, and I have found a lot of Lang Zhong, saying that I am overworked and need to recuperate. But I know in my heart that I can't survive this year with my bones.
One day, while wandering around town, I came across a blind fortune teller. He pulled me and said mysteriously, "Your Yin Hall is black, I'm afraid your life will be short." If you want to avoid this fate, you need to prepare a coffin for yourself and hide in it for the night. "The blind man's words terrified me, but I also had the courage to believe him.
When I got home, I set about building a coffin for myself. I chose the finest wood and crafted it to make it both sturdy and comfortable. Once the coffin was ready, I began to prepare for the overnight stay in the coffin.
That night, the moon was obscured by dark clouds and it was pitch black. I lay in a coffin I had made with my own hands, and my heart was full of mixed feelings. At first, I could still hear the barking of crickets outside and the occasional barking of dogs, but gradually, there was a dead silence all around.
Suddenly, I heard an ethereal voice, as if someone was whispering. The voice got closer, and I felt a chill hit me. Immediately after, I heard footsteps, as if someone was walking towards me. My heart raced and my body trembled involuntarily.
"Li Dazhu, your time has come, come with us. An eerie voice rang in my ears. I closed my eyes tightly and pretended not to hear. The voice repeated again, and I still didn't respond.
Immediately afterward, I felt someone start banging on the coffin lid. Every blow felt like it hit my heart and made me tremble. I know, this is a ghost sent to ask for his life. But I don't want to die, I have to take care of my elderly mother and young children. Thinking of this, I mustered up the courage and shouted, "I'm not leaving! I still have to take care of my family!"
The onicha outside seemed to be startled by me, and the knocking stopped. I took the opportunity to crawl out of the coffin and look around, only to see that there was no one around. I shuddered, was everything just my hallucination?
Just then, I suddenly heard a cacophony in the distance. I followed the sound and found a group of people gathered around a fortune-telling booth. I looked at it and saw that the fortune teller was the blind man who had told me to hide in a coffin.
"You liar!" I rushed forward and grabbed him by the collar, "you almost killed me!"
The blind man was startled by my sudden move, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "Li Dazhu, you misunderstood. I'm not trying to hurt you, I'm helping you. What happened to you tonight is actually your own demons. You've been worrying that you're running out of time, and that fear is causing you to hallucinate. And I asked you to prepare a coffin for yourself, in fact, I want you to face your fear and overcome it. ”
I listened to the blind man's words, and my heart was in a trance. Could it really be my own fear? I looked back at the coffin, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in my heart. Perhaps, I really should be brave enough to face my fears, instead of running away.
That's when I suddenly felt dizzy, and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I found myself in my own bed, with my family gathered around my bed, worry written all over my face.
"You're finally awake!" my wife shook my hand excitedly, "You suddenly fainted next to the coffin last night, and you frightened us. ”
I looked at my family's concerned eyes, and a warm current welled up in my heart. Perhaps, what I really need to face is not those ethereal ghosts, but the challenges and responsibilities in real life.
Since then, I have let go of my fears and superstitions, worked hard to recuperate, and continued to take on the responsibility of taking care of my family. And that coffin also became a turning point in my life, reminding me to face life's challenges bravely.
As the days passed, my body miraculously improved. I started to cherish the time I spent with my family more and work harder. And that blind fortune teller has also become a noble person in my life, which has taught me the importance of facing my fears bravely.
However, the good times were short-lived. One night, I was suddenly woken up by a sharp knock on the door. When I opened the door, it turned out to be the blind fortune teller, and he said to me with a panicked expression: "Li Dazhu, come with me! Your family is entangled by a group of evil spirits, and only you can save them!"
I was shocked, and hurriedly followed the blind man out of the door. We walked through the dark alleys and came to a barren ruin. I suddenly realized that this was the place where the coffin I had been lying in before!
"They're here!" said the blind man, pointing to the coffin, "go in and save them!"
Without hesitation, I jumped into the coffin, only to see that it was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see my fingers. I groped my way forward when I suddenly felt a cold breath rushing over me. Immediately afterward, I heard a terrible cry and an eerie laugh, as if the demons were laughing at my incompetence.
My heart tightened, but when I thought that my family needed me, I immediately plucked up the courage to shout, "I don't care what kind of demons you are, anyway, I won't let you hurt my family!"
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding cries and laughter suddenly disappeared. I felt a mysterious power rush into my body, filling me with courage and strength. I walked along the coffin and finally saw a faint light.
I followed the light and found a hidden entrance to the cave. I cautiously climbed in, only to see that the cave was covered with all kinds of strange symbols and patterns. And in the depths of the cave, I actually saw my family!
They were surrounded by a group of hideous-looking demons, screaming in terror. With a roar of rage, I rushed forward to fight the demons. The demons, though hateful and powerful, were gradually defeated by my courageous attacks.
In the end, I was able to drive all the demons away and save my family, which was really thrilling. Later, I learned that those evil spirits were the embodiment of resentment in this ruin, and they were once innocent victims, but for various reasons they were trapped here and could not go beyond it, so they could only vent their grievances in this way, and I defeated them and made a ritual for them to rest in peace, what an unexpected joy!
After this incident, I cherish the time with my family even more, and I also understand the importance of bravely facing fears, and I am also grateful to the blind fortune teller who has allowed me to experience all this and grow a lot, he is really a noble person in my life!
However, the story doesn't end there. In the days that followed, I discovered that I had developed a special ability – I was able to perceive ghosts and paranormal phenomena around me. Although this ability made me a little uneasy, it also made me more aware of the other side of the world.
One night, I dreamed again about the blind fortune teller. He told me that I was able to acquire this ability because I was able to bravely face my fears and defeat evil spirits in my coffin, thus stimulating my latent spirituality. He also told me that this ability can help more people solve their supernatural problems and give them peace.
After waking up, I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to use my ability to help those in need, so I set up a paranormal detective agency to solve all kinds of supernatural problems, and my story ended here.
Carpenter's paranormal detective agency
Ever since I decided to open a paranormal detective agency, my life has changed dramatically. Every day, I get all sorts of calls for help, from people claiming that there are weird noises in their homes, people who feel like someone is standing by their bed in the middle of the night, and people who say that their children are always playing with a friend who can't be seen.
On this day, a middle-aged woman hurriedly walked into my office. Her face was full of anxiety, and as soon as she entered the door, she held my hand tightly and said, "Mr. Li Dazhu, please help me! Strange things have been happening in my house recently, and I suspect it is haunted!"
I calmed her emotions and then inquired in detail about the situation at her home. It turned out that the woman's name was Zhang Lan, and her husband died of illness a few months ago, leaving her and a ten-year-old daughter behind. Since the death of her husband, there have been strange phenomena in the house, such as things moving inexplicably, the TV suddenly turning on automatically, and sometimes even a deep male voice calling her name at night.
"I suspect it's my husband's ghost still at home, and he may have some unfulfilled wishes. Zhang Lan choked up.
I decided to go to Zhang Lan's house to check on the situation in person. That night, I came to Zhang Lan's house with some necessary magic weapons. It's a small two-story building, and it looks very ordinary on the outside, but the moment I step inside, I can clearly feel a cold breath blowing over my face.
I looked around and saw that the house was neatly furnished, but strangely enough, there was a men's coat on the sofa in the living room, which looked like a relic of Zhang Lan's husband. I walked over to my coat and touched it lightly with my hand, and suddenly, I felt a chill coming from my fingertips, as if something was touching my soul.
I took a deep breath, pulled a yellow paper talisman out of my pocket, stuck it on my coat, and chanted the incantation. After a few moments, the coat began to flutter slightly, and then a vague figure gradually emerged.
"Who are you, why are you still here?" I asked aloud.
The figure slowly raised its head, revealing a pale and haggard face. It is Zhang Lan's husband!
"I ...... I can't worry about their mother and daughter. His voice trembled and faint, "I want to protect them, but I find myself feeling as if I have become a problem for this family." ”
I took a deep breath and looked at the poor soul in front of me. His eyes were full of helplessness and reluctance, obviously, he was not staying maliciously, but out of deep attachment to his family.
"You know, it's not a good thing for them to stay here. I whispered, "Your presence makes it impossible for them to live in peace, and in the long run, it will also affect their health." ”
He lowered his head, was silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "I know, but I'm really worried about them. I...... Is there anything I can do?"
I thought about it for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, I'll do my best to take care of them." But you must leave this place and find your true home. ”
He nodded, a glint of gratitude in his eyes. I chanted a spell to help him leave the physical world and go where he was supposed to be.
Afterwards, I told Zhang Lan and her daughter about the whole process. Although they were a little sad, they understood and accepted this fact. Since then, the strange phenomenon of Zhang Lan's family has never appeared again, and they have started a new life again.
And my paranormal detective agency has also become famous, and more and more people come to me to solve various paranormal problems. I've encountered all sorts of spirits and weird phenomena, but each time, I've tried my best to help them find a solution to their problem.
Some say I'm a brave warrior and dare to face these unknowns, while others say I'm a madman who works with ghosts. But no matter what others say, I firmly believe that I am doing something meaningful. Because I know that there are too many unexplained phenomena and existences in this world, and I am the one who is willing to explore and help others solve problems.
Over time, I have gradually accumulated some experience and insights. I found that not all of these souls were malicious beings, some of them stayed in the world because of unfulfilled wishes, and some of them did not want to leave because of their attachment to their loved ones. Whenever I help them solve their problems and send them to another world, I can see gratitude and relief in their eyes.
However, I also understand that this job is not an easy task. It requires me to be vigilant and cool down to face all kinds of unknown challenges and dangers. But even so, I'm willing to stick with it because I know I'm doing something meaningful and worth doing.
My paranormal detective agency has been in business for many years now. I have helped countless people solve their troubles and problems, and I have also witnessed too many joys and sorrows, life and death partings. But no matter what, I'm going to stick to this post and keep going......
Because I believe that there are always some things in this world that are worth doing and persevering in. And those who need help are my source of motivation, and the reason and belief for me to persevere.
