Here it comes!!

  I immediately woke up, and my drowsiness was gone. I stared at the chopsticks in the bowl, only to see them slowly tilting, with the end pointing towards the direction of the hotel entrance.

  Grandma, let me meet you again!! I stuck a 'Ding Yi Jiu Qing Hu Tu Fu' on my clothes, just in case. Then I picked up the rice bowl, and the tip of the chopsticks was still slightly moving. I thought to myself with joy: folk things are really useful, this is simply a demon forecast device!

  So I no longer hesitated, and with the charm in my right hand and the ocean bowl in my left, I hung my phone around my neck, which had already been set to the right brightness. I walked out of the room.

  It's still pitch black outside, it seems like everyone has gone to sleep already, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

  I'm trying my best to keep my hands from shaking, so that the chopsticks in the bowl can accurately tell me their direction. Grandma's, although I don't know what you are, although I don't know how to get rid of you, but as long as I can make sure my buddies are safe and sound within three days, that's all that matters!

  Suddenly, the chopsticks in the bowl stopped moving. After about four or five seconds, the tip of the chopstick suddenly pointed towards the direction of Guan Ming and Lü Tie's residence. It was going to take action!

  I live in a house two rooms away from Guan and Lü's residence. Without hesitation, I rushed over with one swift step, threw the 'Jiawu Yuqing Po Sha Fu' in my hand at the door of that room, and lightly pointed my sword while saying "Ji ji ru lü ling!"

  In an instant, the direction of the chopsticks changed again. I was delighted to see that it still feared the power of the Six Yang Gods! Although its speed was very fast and I couldn't hit it, if I wanted to prevent it from hurting anyone in a short amount of time, I still had a way.

  I've gone without sleep for three days, I'm going to die arguing with you.

  It seems to know that I have the Ding Yi Ju Cheng's protective amulet on me, so it doesn't dare to attach itself to my body. That guy really made me feel at ease, thinking that since it won't harm me, now in July, around 4 or 5 o'clock, the sky should be bright already, and these three 'Ding Yi Ju Cheng's protective amulets' and seven 'Jia Wu Yu Qing's breaking evil talismans' in my hand should be enough to get rid of you until sunrise.

  It seemed to be astonished that I knew its direction. It hesitated for five minutes, then moved towards the direction of my house again, looking at the chopsticks in the bowl pointing towards my house. I took another step back and threw a 'Jia Wu Yu Qing Po Sha Fu' in front of the door.

  Scared it away again. Haha, luckily for the chopsticks in this bowl, I turned from being passive to active, so now what are you afraid of?

  It's not enough to just do this, I must take it a step further and stimulate it more. According to the tactics used in "Lectures on the Hundred Schools of Thought", I must now take advantage of its panic and strike at its psychological weak point. If I can scare it away with one move and it never comes looking for trouble again, that would be best. Even if I couldn't scare it away, it could still serve to boost my own courage.

  So I gazed in the direction of the chopsticks and started talking nonsense, muttering to myself: "You wicked creature, I am Zhang Muzi, the 888th generation descendant of Zhang Tian Shi from Dragon Tiger Mountain! This humble Taoist has already seen through your tricks. Out of heaven's benevolence, you'd better retreat quickly, otherwise, this Taoist master will use the Black Donkey Hoof to make sure you never reincarnate!"

  I can naturally talk nonsense without blushing. Although the lie I told couldn't even deceive myself, lies must be told with conviction and ruthlessness, but what am I, a descendant of Dragon Tiger Mountain? ****** I've only watched two episodes. I remember that at that time, the online novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was very popular, and almost everyone in our dorm had a copy. So I casually borrowed Zhang Ye's name. Now thinking about it, it's quite interesting. Let's just say everyone has their youthful days, so let's all just laugh it off after reading this passage.

  I learned to speak in the tone of Hong Kong ghost movies, which sounds very cool, and after finishing telling this lie that has no taste, I started paying attention to the direction of the chopsticks. It didn't move, and it really understood what I said!

  Come on, big brother, come on, big brother. I silently muttered this sentence in my heart. It didn't move, and we were stuck like this.

  About five minutes later, the chopsticks moved, but they didn't move in the direction of the hotel entrance, instead pointing towards Guanming's room. Obviously, it wasn't intimidated by me, and after secretly cheering in my heart, I quickly took two steps forward and threw another talisman.

  It dodged again, and according to the chopsticks, it seemed to have entered a state of contemplation. I was delighted in my heart, this demon didn't seem very intelligent after all. One talisman that hadn't hit its mark, its effective time was probably around twenty minutes or so, and I still had six more, which was enough.

  So I stood facing it for more than two hours. By around 5 am, the incense had burned out, but the sky was already getting light. I looked at the chopsticks in the bowl pointing towards the hotel door, and after a while, they fell down again.

  He let out a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and thought to himself: "It's all right, nothing happened, and there are still two more nights."

  I returned to my room, and it wasn't until I relaxed my guard that I realized my left hand had gone numb from holding a bowl of water for over two hours. I used my right hand to put the bowl on the small table, fished out the chopsticks, and then collapsed onto the bed. It had been a day and a night since I'd last closed my eyes.

  I'm exhausted. I quickly fell asleep and went to tease Lord Zhou in dreamland.

  But often can't sleep when wanting to sleep, and can't sleep when wanting to. (Seems like the same thing) Before 9 o'clock, I was pulled up by Wang Cheng and Xiao Kai, saying that I must draw today, or else deduct school credits.

  Spare me, big brothers! I didn't sleep all night for your sake, can't you let me sleep a bit longer? With a heart that wanted to cry, I got out of bed to wash my face. After washing, I took a look in the mirror and found that I also had two panda eyes. His grandma's, now it seems like I'm the one who's possessed!

  While eating breakfast, the girls at our table looked at me and Guan Ming's haggard faces and whispered to each other. One of them said that we must have slept naked last night and got chilled, while another said that we must have gone swimming in the lake last night and deserved to catch a cold.

  It's scary to talk about people, but it's even more hateful to pull a wife's tongue. This great man's famous saying is really not wrong, am I easy? What's the matter with you all, and let these old ladies stab me in the back.

  Liu Mingming spoke up after finishing dinner with a strong spirit, saying that he still had to draw another one today, which would be included in this semester's grades.

  I'm thinking of drawing your sister's picture. If worst comes to worst, I'll just flunk this semester and then bribe the teacher with two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of wine to change my score back.

  All I can think of now is sleep. When it's time to disperse, I carry my painting board and go back to the secluded place by the lake where I went yesterday.

  Today the sunshine is abundant, the wind and sun are beautiful, it's a great day to sleep in. I threw down my painting board, then propped up my head with my hand, lying comfortably on the beach. The morning sunlight shines on my face, warm and cozy, it's truly intoxicating.

  Just as I was drowsy and about to fall asleep, I suddenly thought of something important, something that made my heart ache.

  It's getting late, what to do tonight.

  Tragically, I could only crawl up, then scold the idle streets and gather my spirits to draw those two symbols. I feel like I'm going to collapse again.

  It's unbearable to continue like this, hallucinations are inevitable. When I returned to the hotel at noon, I almost fell asleep while eating, it's too torturous.

  But when I see these smiling guys around me, for some reason, I'm ready to draw again in the afternoon. I won't let them get into trouble. What's not sleeping? I'm not afraid!

  But I'm really not afraid, am I? The answer is definitely no. The more you want to sleep, the faster your sleepiness comes. Ah, grandma, when the sun sets again, I finally finished drawing thirteen talismans, and unexpectedly broke yesterday's record. Maybe it's because I was too sleepy. Now my brain only has one thought: draw talismans, draw talismans, draw talismans.

  I stood up, with a cigarette in my mouth, and packed up my painting tools. I gazed at the gradually setting sunset, welcoming the fourth evening since I arrived at Mirror Lake.
