In the next few days, my father ran around the store alone, while my mother stayed at home with Yu Peng all day long.

This was when Yu Peng was 2 years old. His father had not gone out to work because he was taking care of the family. He had no choice but to open a small shop in the community. He did not earn much, and it was mainly to supplement the family income.

Although the family is not well-off, it is not a poverty-stricken family either.

Mother watched Yu Peng slowly regain his energy and return to the little adult state of Rang Ri, and then he felt at ease and went to the store to help during the day.

Anyway, Yu Peng usually stays at home by himself. After a long time, his family feels relieved. He only comes back to cook meals at noon and evening.

Yu Peng had not seen the old man since the last time, and his mood gradually calmed down. Anyway, he was a bit special, so when he saw something special again, except for the initial fear, he became indifferent.

It's just that something different happened.

This is a new secret added to the secret that Yu Peng has hidden for a long time.

For example

The day before yesterday, when I was lying down by the window, a woman wearing something similar to a costume from a TV series was walking on the road in the community, her steps were light,

Yu Peng looked at this woman and wondered, is it that ancient costumes have become popular recently? Why are people starting to wear Hanfu or something like that? Although it looks good, students generally don’t wear it more. This woman’s stature is not like that of students.

ah?

Then, this woman suddenly disappeared

Yu Peng was stunned for a while, his brain didn't even react...

Then it doesn’t mean that my mind has calmed down.

I also saw a little fox with a warm golden light all over its body. It jumped around in the community square for a while, and then rushed straight into the wall of a community building.

And then... just got in????

Yu Peng was lying alone in front of the window of the living room.

My heart is extremely depressed. I can't talk about my pain, I can't express it, I don't dare to say it. I already have so many questions in my mind, but now that I encounter this kind of thing, it's almost turned into mush.

Then it suddenly occurred to me that on my birthday a few days ago, I didn’t seem to have even a bite of cake in my mouth.

this.

Just because you don’t want to eat it doesn’t mean you can’t eat it.

Then I felt even more depressed

Yu Peng's house has three bedrooms and two living rooms. It is transparent from north to south. The master bedroom and the second bedroom are on the south side, and the small second bedroom and kitchen are on the north. It is separated from the living room by a toilet and an aisle, and the west side is an exterior wall.

So there is a relatively large window, more than 4 meters wide and more than 2 meters high, with good permeability and a wide field of vision.

My mother designed a long platform for the window sill, which can be used to place things.

During the day, because it is transparent on three sides, the lighting is excellent. Next to the wall of the second bedroom, there is a sofa more than 3 meters wide, and the flat couch is placed under the window sill on the west side.

Yu Peng usually likes to stay here the most, standing on the flat couch and lying in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside and the traffic on the main road, as well as the roads and small squares in the community.

His parents were still not at home today. As usual, Yu Peng watched TV quietly for a while. Feeling a little bored, he continued to lie in front of the window and watch the people coming and going outside.

At this moment, a hand suddenly patted Yu Peng's shoulder quietly.

There was no warmth in his hand, just a cold chill. The moment he put it on, Yu Peng's arm felt cold and numb.

The hair on Yu Peng's body stood on end, goosebumps crawled all over his body, and his muscles instantly became as stiff as a piece of wood.

The eyes glanced towards the shoulder bit by bit

But before he could turn his eyes away, the hand had already retracted on its own initiative.

Yu Peng didn't dare to speak or move.

After a few minutes, he felt that there was no breath behind him. Yu Peng felt a little relaxed and turned around to sit on the sofa a little pretentiously.

Pretending to watch something, he slowly started looking for the remote control.

Pretending not to see the old man floating in the living room

Well, that's right, it's the same old man who smelled his cake that day, still wearing the same linen clothes, skinny and dark looking.

It reminded Yu Peng that when he went to visit his grandma in the countryside a few months ago, several old people in the village looked like this.

Except for the different styles of clothes

And, those old men in the village don’t know how to float...

Of course Yu Peng thought he was pretending well, after all, his parents were usually deceived.

It's just that in the eyes of the old man, Yu Peng's little moves were too obvious.

Therefore, the old man stared at Yu Peng's empty and somewhat dazed eyes, and said in a playful tone.

"Stop pretending, I know you can see me"

Yu Peng was still staring at the TV opposite the sofa, but the TV was not turned on.

After more than ten seconds, Yu Peng finally sighed and admitted the fact; he turned his head slightly to look at this strange old man, or was he called Ah Piao?

The reply said: "Yes, I can see you. Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Although the old man was already prepared, when Yu Peng admitted it personally, he still looked surprised and slightly excited.

"It's really a vast world full of wonders. My surname is Zhou, my little friend, and my name is Tuesday. What's your name?"

"What? Tuesday?"

Yu Peng's originally indifferent expression was full of alertness. When he heard the name, his eyes suddenly widened with surprise.

The old man replied somewhat helplessly on Tuesday.

"My parents gave me my name. Doesn't it sound funny in today's world? But hey, it's not easy for me to remember that my name is Tuesday."

Yu Peng's face was still full of doubts. Is it difficult to remember his own name? Old man, you don't look like that Alzheimer's man?

Seeing Yu Peng's puzzled look, the old man slowly explained on Tuesday.

"You can see that I am a ghost, right? There is actually no difference between ghosts and people. People will die, and ghosts will disappear with the passage of time. They will also be hit by energy due to accidents, scattered and injured, and then linger. I

I'm lucky, and I'm lucky enough to be "alive" all the time, but I've been injured several times before, so I'm just hanging on."

"Furthermore, because I had been injured several times before, my soul power was a bit severely injured, so I forgot a lot of things." Speaking of this, the old man's mood on Tuesday was obviously sentimental.

But Yu Peng's heart suddenly thought: "Ghost?"

Isn't this supposed to be something that only appears in novels or TV?

The old man nodded in agreement on Tuesday: "Yes, I am a ghost. Some people call me a ghost, some call me a ghost, some call me a lost soul, some call me a dirty thing. They can be called anything. Anyway, we don't care. Say

If you are a ghost, it will be easier for you to understand."

Yu Peng was still a little confused and thought, is it easy to understand? Are you trying to scare people?

Before he could even speak, the old man continued on Tuesday.

"It is usually said that humans and ghosts live in different worlds. In recent years, humans have attached great importance to the development of science and technology. There are fewer people who practice Taoism, and even fewer who can channel spirits. I have not had any communication with you for many, many years.

I have dealt with humans before, so I am curious, how did you suddenly become psychic?"

Yu Peng tilted his head and thought for a moment and said

"I can probably understand what you are saying, but I don't know how I did it. I couldn't see you before, but that day, I suddenly could see you."

I watched Yu Peng for a while on Tuesday. After years of experience and experience, I judged that this child was not lying.

Then I thought about it and said

"Well, I believe what you say, but I have to believe it. After all, you are the only person I have seen who can do this in the past few decades."

Then Tuesday continued: "Moreover, I am an older person in this area. I have never seen it, and I have never had the opportunity to see other ghosts and spirits."

Yu Peng thought for a while, I couldn't understand what you were saying anyway, so I could only reply "En"

The atmosphere gradually relaxed, and the old man and Yu Peng began to chat simply and casually on Tuesday.

It is more the old people who are talking. After all, a 3-year-old child has nothing to say.

Even though Yu Peng has knowledge far beyond that of ordinary children, it is limited to the things he has come into contact with, or the world of living people. For things he has not yet come into contact with, Yu Peng is still a blank sheet of paper.

From the old man's words, Yu Peng knew that this old man had existed in this place for at least hundreds of years. The old man couldn't remember exactly how long it was. There had been several strong energy impacts, which caused serious damage to the old man's spirit body.

, I can’t recall many past memories.

Only then did Yu Peng realize that ghosts do not always exist, nor are they everywhere.

After most people die, their consciousness separates from the body, and the newly generated consciousness is just a vague shadow. Afterwards, based on each person's physical foundation, the fullness of spiritual consciousness, and energy consumption, the

Over the course of 7 days, I gradually understood my own status and firmly took shape.

At this time, they are what everyone calls ghosts, and they can already have a foothold in the world of the dead. But as time goes by, the energy is gradually consumed, and eventually they will disperse to the world due to exhaustion of energy.

The next higher level is the spirit body. When the soul condenses and takes shape, and by chance or with the blessing of spiritual objects, talismans, etc., the soul condenses into a fixed form and becomes a spirit body.

The difference between ghosts and spiritual bodies mainly lies in the degree of cohesion and survival time. Spiritual bodies are not as easily dispersed as ghosts, and their own spiritual energy is consumed very slowly. Of course, the biggest difference is that spiritual bodies can easily absorb the energy between heaven and earth.

The aura of a person is used to strengthen itself, but ghosts cannot.

Of course, in addition to the deceased's strong enough will during life, many opportunities are also needed. The 30-kilometer radius area where the old man is located almost covers the small CD city, and only 5 people are lucky enough to become spirits and retain their original appearance.

One is the woman Yu Peng saw walking on the road that day

Her name is Chen Song, and her family name is Chen. Because there is an old pine tree in front of her house, and her parents are not very educated. When the child was born, they directly named her Chen Song.

She was a famous girl during her lifetime. She was naturally beautiful, with a delicate appearance and fair skin. Countless people came to propose marriage. However, her family was in dire straits and they hoped that this girl would help her rise to the top, so she never got married.

When I was 16 years old, I was helping my parents work in the fields. I was encountered by a group of officers and soldiers from the Qing Dynasty who were stationed here. They became evil and tortured the little girl to death. However, my parents were able to survive. When the girl died, she was filled with resentment.

On the third day, this resentment condensed into shape.

The second one is an officer and soldier from the Qing Dynasty named Gu Ze

Before joining the army, he was a warrior. He was skilled in everything with swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. Later, he was captured by the court to serve as a soldier. He experienced nearly a hundred battles, large and small. During a battle to encircle and suppress bandits, he served as a cover for his companions.

Pao Ze, who had been stabbed dozens of times in his body, bled to death. After all the blood flowed out, his spiritual consciousness burst out of his body and condensed into a spiritual body at that time.

Moreover, his spirit body is extremely strong and condensed, and he is also responsible for the strength in this area. There have been several times when new evil spirits caused harm and foreign spirits caused trouble, and he was the one to deal with it.

The third one is the little fox that Yu Peng saw. He has no name.

Several other spirits didn't give it a name. When it was alive, it was a heartless little guy who only knew how to run around and have fun every day. I don't know why it died, and I don't know how it suddenly became...

It is a spiritual body, and its whole body exudes a warm light golden light. It cannot speak, nor does it communicate with other spiritual bodies. It still plays and plays in the mountains and plains every day as it did before it was alive.

The fourth one is the old man Tuesday. Judging from the style of his clothes, he should have been born in the Ming Dynasty. However, he suffered several energy shocks, which caused damage to his soul. He cannot remember many things in the past at all.

The fifth one, it is said that they have only seen it once so far, is a monk who became a spirit after his death.

60 years ago, a powerful alien spirit passed through this place. His consciousness was powerful but he rarely had normal thinking reactions. He just wandered randomly, east and west, south and north.

The ghosts he met on the road were all beaten away by him unconsciously. On Tuesday, relying on his age, he tried to stop and persuade him, but he was beaten violently before he could speak, and he suffered the most serious spiritual damage. Gu Ze

Likewise, he was defeated by the opponent in just a few encounters.

Just when the spirit body who didn't know where it came from and where it was going was about to kill Gu Ze and Tuesday.

The monk suddenly appeared, holding a sword made of condensed spiritual consciousness. He just waved it forward gently and shot out a wave of energy, emitting dazzling light and rushing towards the non-thinking spirit body, instantly killing it.

Break it into pieces, and the stars will scatter all over the sky.

When many ghosts and the two spirits came forward to express their gratitude, the Taoist spirit gently shook his head and said that there was no need to do so. Then he looked at the scattered stars and said with some emotion.

"Wanting to return home in life, wishing to return to the land in death, they are all the same pitiful people!"

Then it sank into the ground and disappeared.

The spiritual energy after the spirit body was dispersed was first absorbed by Old Man Zhou and Gu Ze. Although it made up for the loss of his spiritual energy and faintly solidified his spiritual body, Old Man Zhou's memory has never recovered.

How much, and the remaining scattered spiritual energy was absorbed and eaten by nearby ghosts

Apart from these five spirits, the rest are ordinary ghosts. How many people have died in this area over the years, there will be a proportion of ghosts alive. However, people will die over time, and ghosts will also die.

It will disappear over time, and once the energy is completely exhausted, it will completely cease to exist.

Ghosts, if explained from a scientific perspective, are actually a collection of conscious energy. You can call it a spiritual magnetic field, or you can call it magnetic field energy. It is a kind of energy that exists in the world but cannot be seen by humans.

medium

Just like we can answer the phone and listen to the radio, but we can never see the flow of magnetic field information with our naked eyes.

Everything in the world has a corresponding magnetic field response. Animals, plants, and even stones have their own unique frequencies.

Of course humans also have magnetic field reactions. The blood flow in the body and the thinking of consciousness are all emitting magnetic field fluctuations all the time. The energy of the magnetic field is the spiritual food that maintains the existence of ghosts.

Well...yes, this is spiritual food in the true sense.

Therefore, during festivals and festivals, people go to graves to burn paper. Paper money is indeed a currency circulated in the world of the dead. It is used to buy some spiritual energy or exchange for some information objects. It is a kind of financial resource in the world of the dead.

But what really keeps ghosts alive for a long time is the thoughts of living people. As long as someone is thinking about their deceased relatives, even if they are just talking to others, the fluctuations in consciousness will be transmitted to the ghosts in the form of energy transmission, providing them with

Energy supply to survive longer.

This is the same as eating and drinking water, which is the basis for human survival.

After spending nearly a whole afternoon, the old man finally got Yu Peng confused on Tuesday. Faced with this sudden amount of information, which far exceeded the normal human perspective, even though Yu Peng was smart, he was still as confused as a blur.

He looked at the old man blankly.

When his parents returned home after finishing their work in the store, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening, and Yu Peng lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

The seats and furniture are all in place, the air in the house is still fresh, the floor is still bright, and everything is still the same.

It's just...in the world that ordinary people can't see, when the parents hug Yu Peng with relief and prepare to cook, and when the children of the residents upstairs start running around in the evening exercise again, next door When the couple comes home from get off work and is about to open the door, when thousands of households in the entire community are busy.
