Chapter 13: The reason for the formation of the ghost nest

After tying the Yin Yang knot, I closed my eyes and sat in meditation. I soon fell into a strange state, one that was neither sleeping nor awake. I felt as if I were standing up, but in fact I wasn’t.

It was like when I was a child and my mother would rush me to get up, and I would have already gotten up in my mind, but then I would suddenly snap back to reality and realize that I hadn’t even opened my eyes.

This feeling is too wonderful to be described in words, and I can only try to describe it as best I can.

In this state of trance, I heard a lot of voices, but I couldn’t hear clearly. In this situation, I had to take the initiative to communicate.

What’s more, what made me angry and laugh at the same time was that, seeing that I looked like I was completely lifeless, some of my “good brothers” kept circling around my body, looking as if they were eager to take advantage of the situation. You have to understand that ghosts are eager to feel human, but being possessed by a ghost, even if it is a normal person, is a very draining experience for them.

But under the closed yang knot, the yang energy contained in the body is actually amazing. After all, it only goes in and never comes out. How could they possibly have this opportunity?

I also need to hurry up and get things done. If the yang energy only enters and does not leave, my body will also have problems. People pay attention to the harmony of yin and yang, not that the more yang energy the better.

Thinking of this, I concentrated my mind and ‘caught’ an old lady in my consciousness who was desperately trying to get into my body.

In fact, the appearance of ghosts is a matter of opinion. If you don’t have any impression of the ghost’s life, then the image that comes to mind is definitely the way it wants you to see it. Generally, ghosts that are not “perverted” will not make you feel sick by scaring you. They are just the way they are, but because of the aura, they are also a bit eerie.

I swear I wasn’t being rude. As a person with normal values and a good sense of aesthetics, I really couldn’t look at her while I was talking.

“Hey, hey, don’t dig. I’m here.” I tilted my head and looked at the old lady in a blank place.

This shout made many of the “good brothers” come over. Don’t think they are not curious. They actually have many human emotions and are also very “naughty.”

After a long time, the old lady finally woke up from her great endeavor of drilling into my body and looked at me innocently, “Are you calling me? How can you call me?”

I knew what she was trying to say, but I couldn’t understand her expression. I said, “I’m a Taoist priest. I can communicate with you if I want to. I’m a big man, why are you trying to get inside me?”

She said, “Don’t take me in, don’t bully me, I’m innocent.”

At this point, the “good brothers” who had gathered around also retreated, looking very scared of me.

In fact, the souls of ordinary people are not usually in a wandering state. This has to do with being at peace in the grave. The wandering souls of these “good brothers” are very pitiful, but pitiful ghosts must have something to hate. They are very unruly, like the underworld, quite a bit of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, but also cunning, and will definitely not retreat because I am a Taoist.

This made me a little confused, but when I looked down at myself, I immediately understood why. The reason is that I am in a state of semi-detachment, and my soul is a little special. I don’t know how to describe this special feeling.

To put it simply, my soul nurtures the tiger soul and lives with it. It’s like I have a tiger tattoo on my soul, and that tiger tattoo is alive, and it scares them.

I was a little amused by this group of people.

So I said to the old lady in a very gentle voice, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t do anything to you. I just want to ask you a few questions.”

“Why should I answer you? Is there any benefit?” Well, the old lady’s true nature was revealed at once.

“Yes, I can ask a monk to help you. Isn’t that a great benefit?” I really meant it. After all, these wandering spirits are pitiful, and having the blessing of a monk’s spiritual power is the most desirable thing for them.

“Really?” The old lady was very surprised. I guess she was just going to extort some tribute from me, like joss sticks and candles, but I promised her this benefit. Not only that, but many of her friends came over and clamored, though I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but I knew that they meant they could also answer my questions.

After more than ten minutes, I ended the state of the heavenly eye, then untied the closed sun knot, stood up with a rather heavy look, and then waved to the empty toilet and shouted, “Don’t worry, I said I would let someone come to help you, and I will definitely keep my word. You know that Taoists talk about cause and effect. Today, I planted the cause, made a wish, and did not fulfill it. Naturally, I lost my own luck. You are also a result of the will of heaven for me to be bothered by you, so I will definitely keep my word. I only hope that you don’t make things difficult for ordinary people in your daily lives until I have resolved this matter.”

The empty and eerie toilets of course could not give me any response, but I knew they had heard me.

After saying these words, I turned and left, but my mood was still heavy. After communicating with them, I had a general idea of what was going on in this building, and it seemed to be more troublesome than I had imagined.

I walked to the elevator and pressed the button for the seventh floor. This was the first place I was going to visit today. I had to check out every place before I could solve the problem tomorrow.

In the elevator, I thought about the news the ghosts had told me. As I expected, these ghosts were originally just wandering spirits in this area, and in fact, they had nothing to do with people. As long as they didn’t collide, everyone would be safe in this city. If they collided, people would be unlucky for a while, and the ghosts would also be weak for a while.

To put it bluntly, they are just like this. There are many of them in every city, and they are nothing out of the ordinary.

However, after the office building was officially completed, they sensitively discovered that the building was full of negative energy and resentment. Just like people like to stay in places with beautiful scenery and abundant positive energy, ghosts also like to stay in places full of negative energy. At least that way, they don’t feel so bad during the day and don’t need to deliberately find places to hide. As for the resentment, they are all ghosts, so what are they afraid of? Besides, the resentment is not directed at them, so it has little effect on them.

As a result, the wandering spirits in the area gathered in this office building, turning it into a veritable ghost lair!

According to them, they originally wanted to live in peace with ordinary people, but because ghosts and humans have different paths, their own aura makes ordinary people uncomfortable, and there is nothing they can do about it.

As for the fact that they occasionally tease ordinary people, I understand the reason without them explaining it. It is naturally affected by that kind of resentment. Just as you will become irritable if you stay with a violent person for a long time, this is resentment. Although it has little effect on them, it still has an effect in the end.

The main thing is, where does the source of resentment come from? What is the matter with the surging negative energy?

It’s very simple. Someone put some very powerful guys here, so there is a lot of negative energy and resentment. Locking these guys in this building will cause the negative energy and resentment to accumulate.

There is also a problem with the method, that is, no matter what method you use to set up the trap, you cannot completely imprison the powerful guy and let it out. If that were the case, it would not be under your control at all, but would wreak havoc everywhere.

Therefore, you must use a special method to imprison it. Of course, this imprisonment will gradually weaken until the powerful guy is completely released.

But by that time, the powerful guy has already harmed many people and has incurred a great deal of karma. He will be condemned by the heavens, and the most likely outcome is that his soul will be scattered to the four winds, and the killing will be complete.

Therefore, the office building has not had a major incident because the powerful guy has not completely escaped from the shackles.

But even if it hasn’t escaped its confinement, after 11 p.m. its power will be much greater. Don’t think that because it is a ghost, it won’t be afraid of ghosts. Just like a child wouldn’t be afraid of a fierce man, right? Especially when it is a guy with a lot of resentment, there is generally no reason or friendship to talk about.

For the above reasons, wandering spirits will hide after 11 o’clock, creating the illusion that the office building is clean after 11 o’clock.

In my conversation with them, I learned that there are eight of these powerful guys in this office building, and the first one is on the 7th floor where I am going.

But why eight? I felt very strange.
