Chapter 2104 (Two Thousand One Hundred and Four) Devouring
Recalling the ghost-related things he heard in his childhood, and the experience of being severely frightened as a child, he connected some of them to the incident that just happened. , the fear is even worse. He even felt that he had been dominated by something, as if he was sucked to the door of Muxi Pavilion.
Before, it was because he had been thinking about things related to bloodstains and had been comforting himself that the blood he stepped on before was not human blood, so he had no time to think about anything else. However, at this time, he did not realize that it was his previous fear that brought about the fear at this moment.
Sometimes people's fear increases. A little fear will give rise to more fear. When surrounded by fear, things that are not originally scary will be considered scary. Some people may do things when they are afraid that they would not do in other states. When they look back later, they feel that they were controlled by something, which makes it even scarier. , but in fact it is the fear in my heart that prompts me to do things that I would not do otherwise.
At this time, although Tie Wandao's men didn't know what was controlling them, they really felt that they were being controlled. Of course he wanted to leave the door of Muxi Pavilion immediately and walk to the place where he heard the singing the day before, but he was a little doubtful whether he could really get there as smoothly as he thought.
Fear can devour people's confidence, and fear to a certain extent can even make people doubt whether they can do things that they usually know they can do without even thinking about it. After people's confidence is eroded by fear, people may behave in ways that even they themselves cannot understand.
Tie Wandao's men did not take immediate action at this time. Instead, they faced the door of Muxi Pavilion, folded their hands, and silently chanted words such as "Please let me go!"
While he was reciting silently, he felt something fall on his head. The thing stayed for a short time and then left.
He was still frightened in his heart, and he immediately stopped reciting silently. He turned around and saw that it was just another bird.
However, he thought more: Why do birds interrupt me when I am reciting silently? Why didn't you let me finish reading? Could it be that I'm being controlled and can't even finish reciting it? What I wanted to do before was to finish reciting those words before walking to the location where I heard the singing yesterday. This bird interrupted me and refused to let me finish reciting. Did it mean that it would not let me leave here and walk to that location?
Since he already felt controlled by something, it was even harder for him to find the reason from himself, but after staying for a while, he finally found the reason from himself. At this time, he thought: Actually, even if something happens to me, I don’t have to stop reciting silently.
It wasn't the bird that interrupted his silent recitation, it was his fear that interrupted his silent recitation. If he didn't have that kind of fear before, even if he felt something falling on his head, he might not stop even if he wanted to finish reciting silently. If he knew that there would be no danger even if something fell on his head, he would not be frightened to stop immediately. He should have been able to feel that the thing that landed on his head was a bird, but he didn't feel it, largely because he thought it might be some kind of ghost.
He decided to chant silently again, and this time he would not stop even if another bird landed on his head.
Although he didn't know whether silent meditation like this would have any effect, he felt that it would be unsettling if it didn't. (End of chapter)
