Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2104 (Two Thousand One Hundred and Four) Devouring
Thinking of the things he had heard about ghosts in his childhood and the severe fright he had when he was a child, he connected some of them to what had just happened, and his fear became even worse. He even felt that he had been controlled by something, as if he had been sucked to the door of Muxi Pavilion.

He had been thinking about blood before, and he had been comforting himself that what he had stepped on was not human blood, so he had no time to think about anything else. However, he did not realize that it was his fear before that brought about the fear at this moment.

Sometimes people's fear increases like this, a little fear will give rise to more fear, when surrounded by fear, those things that were not originally scary will also be considered scary. Some people may do things in fear that they would not do in other states, and then think back and think that they did those things because they were controlled by something, which becomes a more terrifying thing. However, in fact, it is the fear in their hearts that prompts them to do things that they 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 walk there as smoothly as he thought.

Fear can devour a person's confidence. When it is severe enough, it can even make a person doubt whether he or she can do something that he or she knows he or she can do without even thinking about it. When a person's confidence is eroded by fear, he or she may do something that even he or she cannot understand.

Tie Wandao's men did not take immediate action at this time. Instead, they faced the door of Muxi Pavilion, clasped their hands together, and silently said something like "Please let me go!"

Just as he was silently reciting the mantra, he felt something falling on his head. It stayed there for a short while before leaving.

He was still frightened in his heart, and immediately stopped reciting. He turned his head and saw that it was just a bird.

However, he thought more: Why did the bird interrupt me when I was reciting silently? Why didn't it let me finish reciting? Was I being controlled and couldn't finish reciting? I had thought that I should finish reciting before going to the place where I heard the song yesterday. The bird interrupted me and didn't let me finish reciting. Was it not letting me leave here and go to that place?

Since he already felt that he was being controlled by something, it was even harder for him to find the reason from himself, but after a while, he finally found the reason from himself. At this time, he thought: In fact, even if something falls on my head, I don’t have to stop silently reciting.

It wasn't the bird that interrupted his silent recitation, it was his fear that interrupted his silent recitation. If he hadn't felt that fear before, even if he felt something falling on his head, he might not have stopped if he wanted to finish his silent recitation. If he knew that even if something fell on his head, it wouldn't be dangerous, he wouldn't be scared and stop immediately. He should have been able to feel that it was a bird that fell on his head, but he didn't feel it, largely because he thought it might be a ghost.

He decided to recite it silently again, and this time he would not stop even if another bird landed on his head.

Although he didn't know whether this silent recitation would have any effect, he felt uneasy if he didn't do it.
