Chapter 37: Stalemate
It came!
I immediately woke up, sleepiness and all. I stared intently at the chopsticks in the bowl, only to see that it slowly began to tilt, with the upward-facing end of the chopsticks pointing in the direction of the inn's entrance.
Grandma's, let me meet you again! I put a 'Ding Wei Ju Qing Body Protecting Talisman' on my clothes, just in case. Then I picked up the sea bowl, and the top end of those chopsticks was still slightly moving in the direction. I thought in my heart with joy: folk things are really good, this is simply a demon forecaster!
So I didn't hesitate any longer and immediately held the talisman in my right hand and picked up the sea bowl with my left hand. Hanging around my neck was a cell phone with the brightness already set. I walked out of the room.
Outside the door was still dark, it seemed that everyone had already fallen asleep, which was exactly what I was hoping for.
I tried my best to keep my hands from shaking so that the chopsticks in the bowl could tell me exactly where it was going. Grandma, even though I don't know what you are, even though I don't know how to get rid of you, I just have to make it three days to keep my buddies safe and sound!
Suddenly, the chopsticks in the bowl didn't move. After about four or five seconds, the tip of the chopsticks pointed violently in the direction of the house where Guan Ming and Lu Tiezhu lived. It was about to strike!
The house where I lived was two rooms away from the house where Guan and Lu lived. Without hesitation, I immediately took an arrow step and rushed over, throwing the 'A Wu Yu Qing Breaking Fury Talisman' in my hand towards the door of that room, and at the same time, I raised my sword finger and whispered, "Urgent as a lawful order!"
In a flash, the direction that the chopsticks were pointing to immediately changed direction again, I was delighted in my heart, it was true that it was still afraid of the power of the Six Armor Yang Shen! Although its speed is very fast and I can't hit it, but if I want to make it unable to hurt people in a short period of time, buddy I still have a way.
I'm going to fight you to the death for the last three days without sleep.
It seems that it also knows that I have the amulet of the Six Ding Yin Gods hanging on my body (Ding has Ju Qing Body Protecting Amulet), so it doesn't dare to attach itself to my body. Then I am really relieved, there is no harm to me, think about now in July, four or five o'clock the sky should be bright, then I have this hand of three 'Ding has huge Qing body protection talisman' and seven 'Jie Wu Yu Qing break brake talisman' should be enough to Huo Huo you to the sun! I'm not going to be able to get out of here.
Apparently it seemed surprised how I could tell where it was headed. After hesitating for five minutes, it moved again in the direction of the house I lived in, looking at the bowl of chopsticks pointing towards the back of the house I lived in. I scurried back with another arrow step, and threw a 'A Wu Yu Qing Breaking Fury Talisman' in front of the door of my room.
It scared it away again. Haha, thanks to this bowl of chopsticks, let me from passive to active, now I'm still afraid of what buddy?
This is not enough, we must stimulate it in a deeper step, according to the tactical use of the "Hundred Lectures", I must now take advantage of its panic and then a deeper step to break down its psychology. If I can scare it away in one step, and it won't come back for trouble, that would be the best. If I couldn't scare it off, I could also use it as a way to bolster my own courage.
So I looked in the direction where the chopsticks were pointing and made up a false story, muttering to myself, "Demon, I am Master Zhang Mu, the eight hundred and eighty-eighth generation of Master Zhang Tianshi's disciple at Longhu Mountain! The poor Taoist has already seen through Er's little trick, remembering that heaven has the virtue of good life, Er had better quickly retreat, otherwise, the Taoist master I will use the black donkey's hooves to make Er never to transcend life!"
To say bragging, I naturally can do it without turning red or white. Although I spread this lie even I can't lie to myself, but the lie must be said to have strength, must be ruthless, but I which is what Longhu Mountain heir ah,****** I have seen two issues. I remember that it was the time when the internet masterpiece "Ghost Blowing Light" was a big hit, and at that time our dormitory basically had a handful of books. So I casually borrowed the name of Master Zhang. It's funny to think about it now. To say that everyone has a young time, so we can all read this and laugh at it
After I finished saying this tasteless lie in a tone as if it was awesome in a Hong Kong ghost movie, I started to pay attention to where the chopsticks were pointing. It didn't move, and it really understood me!
Hurry up and go big brother, hurry up and go big brother. I chanted these words silently in my mind. It didn't move, and we stood there like that.
After about five minutes, the chopsticks moved, but not in the direction of the hotel's entrance, instead pointing in the direction of Guan Ming's room. Obviously it wasn't bluffed by me, I leaned in my heart and took two steps quickly and threw another talisman.
It dodged it again, and according to the chopsticks, it seemed to have gone back into contemplation. I was so happy in my heart, this demon really didn't look very smart. A talisman that didn't hit, it's effective time is about twenty minutes or so, I still have six more, that's enough.
So I confronted it like this for more than two hours. The talisman had run out by almost five in the morning, but it was already getting light, so I looked at the bowl of chopsticks pointing towards the door of the hotel, and then after a while the chopsticks fell back down.
A heavy breath came out, phew, safe and sound, two more nights to go.
I went back to my room, when I relaxed my guard I realized that my left hand was numb and unconscious due to the bowl of water that I had been holding for more than two hours, I used my right hand to put the bowl of water on the small table, fished the chopsticks out, and then collapsed headfirst onto the bed. It had been a day and two nights without closing my eyes.
I was exhausted. Very quickly, I went into the dreamland to molest the God of the Week.
But often, those who can't sleep want to sleep, and those who want to sleep can't sleep. (Seems to be the same meaning.) Before nine o'clock I was pulled up by Wang Cheng and Xiaokai, saying that we must paint today or lose credits.
Give me a break, guys, I've been up all night for you, can't you let me sleep a little longer? I hold the mood to cry to get up to wash my face, wash after taking a look in the mirror, and found that I even topped two panda eyes. It was like I was possessed.
Eat breakfast, our table girls look at me and Guan Ming two people haggard face whispering, this said we must be sleeping naked at night, kicked by the cold, that said we must be running at night to bathe in the lake, deserved to be windy.
To say that people's words can be feared, pulling the wife's tongue is even more hateful. This great man's famous saying is really right, I am easy? All what kind, but also let these old ladies in the back to poke the backbone.
Strong spirit to finish eating, Liu Mingming sent a message, said today must also draw another, counted in the semester's grades.
I thought of painting your sister painting, I big deal this semester failed, anyway, by the time to send two cigarettes and wine can change the score back.
All I can think of now is to sleep, and when I was dismissed, I carried my drawing board and went to the remote place by the lake where I went yesterday.
Today the sun is very full, the wind is beautiful, it is a good weather to sleep back to sleep, I put the drawing board a still, and then hands resting on the head, lying comfortably on the beach. The morning sun shone on my face, a warm feeling, really soulful.
Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I suddenly thought of something important, something that made me cry.
There was no more charm, what to do at night.
Tragically, I could only get up, and then curse the idle street while gathering my spirit to draw those two talismans. I feel like I'm going to collapse again.
In this way to go on must again hallucinations can not, at noon back to the hotel I ate dinner are almost asleep, too torturous.
But as soon as I saw my buddies around me, I don't know why, but I was ready to draw for the rest of the afternoon. I won't let anything happen to them. I won't let anything happen to them. I'm not afraid!
But am I really not afraid? The answer is no. The more you think about not sleeping, the faster your sleep comes. When the sun set again, I finally drew thirteen talismans, which was even better than yesterday's record. Maybe it was because I was just too sleepy. My mind had no other thoughts now, it was just drawing talismans, drawing talismans, drawing talismans.
I stood up with a cigarette in my mouth and packed up my drawing utensils. Looking at the gradually setting sun. Ushering in the dusk of the fourth day after I arrived at Mirror Lake.
