This young couple was a newlywed couple. The man’s name was Gu Yaoxian and the woman’s name was Lin Shi. Gu Yaoxian’s family was related to Xia Luoqing’s family, so they came to Tianran Temple after the incident.
As for what happened, we have to start from when they were discussing their marriage.
Gu Yaoxian and Lin Shi had been dating for two years and started discussing their marriage. During this period, they encountered many difficulties, such as not being able to book a hotel, problems with the new house, and the makeup artist falling sick.
They overcame all the problems one by one. They went to get the marriage certificate three times but were unable to do so each time due to various reasons. Finally, they thought it would be fine to get it after the wedding.
On the day before the wedding, Gu Yaoxian and Lin Shi both slept in the hotel where the wedding was to be held, of course in separate rooms.
In the middle of the night, Gu Yaoxian habitually lay down to sleep. He was half asleep when he felt something hit his back hard. He felt pain and cold all over and woke up suddenly. He felt that the pain on his back was particularly real.
But he was the only one in the room. Gu Yaoxian thought he was bitten by a poisonous insect. So he struggled to get up and woke up his cousin from out of town who had come to attend the wedding and was sleeping next door and asked him to check on him.
Gu Yaoxian’s cousin was also sleeping soundly. He then turned on the light and lifted up his clothes. He was immediately awakened from his sleepiness and stammered, “Why is there a handprint here!”
Gu Yaoxian: “…Don’t joke.”
“Really!” The cousin didn’t dare to touch it, but there was indeed a blue mark on Gu Yaoxian’s back, shaped like a palm. He took out his cell phone and took a picture tremblingly, “Brother, look.”
Gu Yaoxian originally thought that his cousin was making fun of him. So he was in pain and a little impatient, but when he saw the photo, his blood ran cold. He then rushed to the bathroom and looked back hard in the mirror.
That’s right, there was a handprint on the back!
“What the hell is going on!” Gu Yaoxian panicked.
The cousin searched the whole house, “Did you get hit by something shaped like a palm?”
When he got to this point, Xie Lingya suddenly asked, “Is the palm print still there?”
“Yes.” Gu Yaoxian took off his coat first, and Lin Shi helped him lift up his clothes. Sure enough, there was a blue palm print on his back.
“Mr. Gu, do you have a regular physical examination? How is your heart?” Xie Lingya asked.
Gu Yaoxian was stunned for a moment, then said: “I have some arrhythmia and have been taking medicine. How come you can tell that I’m sick?”
“I’m not a doctor, I can’t tell.” Xie Lingya said meaningfully, “Just the palm print on your back corresponds to your chest, it seems to be the heart area. You said that you slept on your stomach that night…”
Gu Yaoxian was about to break out in a cold sweat. He had never thought about this detail. When Xie Lingya said it, he remembered that if he was not sleeping on his stomach, that palm would have hit him on the heart. Regardless of whether the beating would cause a seizure, it was scary to think about, especially this matter…
“Go on.” Xia Luoqing said.
“Let me say it.” Lin Shi said. Her expression was a little sad, a little unhappy, and very complicated.
That day, Gu Yaoxian did not alarm other people. He and his cousin just ran to the emergency room of a nearby hospital. People there said that there was nothing wrong with him except bruises. He said that he dreamed of something hitting him and that was what happened when he woke up. The doctor said that maybe someone really hit you while you were asleep.
Gu Yaoxian and his cousin were full of doubts and thought about unscientific possibilities, but there was no trace of it. When they returned, it was already dawn and the photographer and makeup artist had arrived, so they had to start preparing for the wedding.
Because the wedding was approaching, Gu Yaoxian had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being and wait until after the wedding.
After spending the wedding feeling tired, sleepy and worried, Gu Yaoxian and Lin Shi arrived at the bridal chamber and had dinner with their relatives. That night, they were the only ones in the bridal chamber.
Lin Shi noticed that there was always a worry on Gu Yaoxian’s brows. She didn’t show it in front of others, but when they were alone, she finally asked unhappily: “What’s wrong with you? You’ve been distracted the whole day.”
Gu Yaoxian then undressed and showed her the palm print.
Lin Shi was also surprised. She touched the bruise of a palm and was puzzled.
“This is a mystery that has never been solved in the world, but the doctor insisted that I was beaten by someone. How could there be anyone in my room? I almost thought I was hallucinating.” Gu Yaoxian smiled bitterly.
Lin Shi was about to speak when her eyes fell on the decorative wooden shelf in the bedroom with a look of horror.
Gu Yaoxian immediately turned his head and saw a row of five tumblers placed on the wooden frame, swaying back and forth without wind in different rhythms. The tumblers, which were originally brightly colored and cute, now gave people an extremely strange feeling…
Lin Shi’s lips trembled, and she tightly held Gu Yaoxian’s arm. At this time, the tumblers also stopped swaying one by one.
The room was eerily quiet, with only the heavy, disordered breathing of the two people.
The next moment, Gu Yaoxian suddenly fell forward, broke free from Lin Shi’s hand, and fell under the bed, almost falling from the sky like a dog eating shit, with a bloody nose.
“Ah——” Lin Shi finally shouted out the scream that had been suppressed in her throat.
Lin Shi cried so hard but she didn’t dare to move, especially to run outside. The occupancy rate in the new community where they lived was not high. Looking out of the window, there was no light except the street lights.
Gu Yaoxian later got up himself and covered his nose, his face full of fear, thinking of the handprint before, and even the various misfortunes before the wedding.
Lin Shi then called her mother, the old lady knew more about these things.
After listening to her daughter’s incoherent talk, Lin Shi’s mother quickly asked them to light a fire, because yin objects were afraid of yang fire.
Lin Shi lit a fire with paper on the floor. Her heart was still beating fast. But she didn’t cry until both parents returned to the bridal chamber.
Thinking that the new house was not clean, the family quickly packed up and returned home.
Lin Shi and Gu Yaoxian went to his house together. The two prepared to sleep in Gu Yaoxian’s room. When Lin Shi thought about the newly bought house, which she had spent so much time and effort to decorate but was actually haunted and what should she do next… she was really worried.
Gu Yaoxian first felt a pain in his back and nose and was now extremely sleepy. “Let’s go to sleep first…we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”
He was really too sleepy.
The two were lying on a bed. But just as they were about to turn off the lights, Gu Yaoxian suddenly straightened up again and jumped to the ground with a howl, “Something, something stabbed my back.”
He didn’t elaborate, but it felt like a long fingernail.
That thing actually followed them back home, and the two of them ran out again. The house was like a war zone, and everyone sat in the living room and didn’t dare to sleep, and they even lit a fire.
They took turns sleeping on the sofa that night. The next day, Gu Yaoxian started asking about ways to ward off ghosts, such as hanging mirrors, using peach wood swords, etc.
After another two or three nights, Gu Yaoxian realized that it had nothing to do with the methods of exorcising ghosts. As long as he slept with Lin Shi at night, he would encounter strange events of one kind or another.
As a last resort, they ran to Tianran Temple. As soon as they came in, Gu Yaoxian kowtowed to them several times. He had been tortured and had not had a good rest, so his cheeks were almost sunken.
