Chapter-18 Anger and Souls

Chapter-18 Anger and Souls

The pain had grown so intense that I could barely think much less move.

I tried to run the Yin Qi but to no avail,

I thought of ways to escape this crisis and to save my life

But I couldn't think of anything

I felt a chill so cold on my head that the floor felt scolding hot

I took a deep breath to calm myself and tried to get up

I believed that if I could get up,

Then I could go and find the old man Bu, Pollux he'll even Julia

Anyone really

Anyone who could help me

I wanted to live, I didn't want to die

But because of the pain I couldn't my body

I heard my heart as it thudded madly in my chest

My ears were ringing and my tongue was tingling

My throat felt dry and soar

I was terrified once again in my life

I wanted the pain to stop.

But that was just wishful thinking as the pain showed no sign of ceasing

As I lay there on the ground struggling the fierce pain

I tried extremely hard to just breathe and make it through the pain.

I must have done something right because I was able to think again

I thought about today

Today was a roller coaster,

Visualization of the lake,

the disappointing 'Mind's Eye',

My foolish attempt to unlock the 'third eye' appoint

That last one was a giant foolish mistake that would cost me dearly

'If I died again maybe I would be reborn I thought

Who knows maybe this time around my luck wouldn't be so rotten

I could get a decent family who would be at least

These thoughts made me happy and I relaxed

For some reason, my mind went to the lake the peace and happiness I found there.

I began the visualisation technique and entered the lake once again

This time I was sitting on the freaking water

Before I could marvel over the situation that could walk on water

I realised that the pain was gone

I excitedly looked around

The sky was bright and clear and there was a white sun up

I could see a blue horizon as far as my vision went

The white sun felt so close that I felt that I could just reach up and touch it

The lake was surrounded by green dense trees

I was so giddy and happy that I could dance

But that didn't last long

The world shook momentarily and a tremor went through the lake like an earthquake

I once again felt the intense pain

It was only for a short moment but that left me on my knees

clenching my head

There was Blood pounding in my ears

My legs were quivering uncontrollably

My sight distorted as if someone put high powered glasses lens on my eyes

I slowly fell on my side, my whole body was soaking wet

I didn't know if it was the sweat or the lake water

After some time I calmed down and got up

As soon as I did the world once again shook

Bringing me back to my knees

I lost my nerve to get back up again

As I sat there on my knees I thought about my life

You could call me a loser

You could call me a down and out guy

But you couldn't call me a quitter

I had tried my level best even with that card fate had dealt me

Life was a roller roster of sadness and bad luck

From the moment I was born, it was a shit show

I lost the only person who cared about me

I was blinded

And now I was here dying

Before I could even accomplish a single thing.

I lay there as another shock of pain washed over me

I started to remember my previous life

I regretted everything I did

The choices I made and the decisions I took

I wanted a do-over, I wanted a second chance

The more I thought about more the memories of the past came to me

I was a coward my entire life

I always ran away from any difficult situation instead of facing it head-on

I never bother to fight for myself

The time I was fired from my job for a false reason

The day I found my wife cheating

The day my mother reduced to recognise me

And just like that, I was going to give up and run away from it all

Only this time running away meant dying

I had two options flight or fight

And I wanted to choose to fight

To fight for my life

I decided not to flee and the moment I did so

I felt the dark emotion of fear wash over me

I screamed at the top of my lungs

And the world around shook

But this time I didn't fall on my knees

I screamed until I had no voice left

My sanity was seeping from my hands

The fear and pain were the only aspects I could feel

After some time I calmed down

As I calmed down I noticed my changed surrounding

The trees had disappeared

The clear blue lake was now murky dark and black

Instead of the clear blue sky, it was white now

Instead of the white sun, there was a golden circle

Suspiciously similar to my life symbol

And there was a red glow coming from behind me

I turned around to find a red ball size of my fist

floating in the middle of the lake

With red lightning sauntering around it like snakes

And from time to time a red bolt of lightning would shoot out of the ball

Visiting the lake surface turning it red from black

And just right below the red ball

There sat a five coloured man in the porous position

He had no eyes, no face, no mouth and no genitals

It was a plane man devoid of any discernible features part from that his body was made of five colours

Red, grey, blue, green and yellow

And vaguely around this man, there was a faint phantom of a tall spacious mountain

I had to squint my eyes to see the mountain

What the hell was this

The more I saw of the man the familiar he felt

How could a man with no features a familiar

But instead of being scared by seeing such a man, I felt at ease even peaceful

As I was busy studying the new addition to my lake

A mother of all shocks came

Instantaneously causing the collapse of my lake world

My vision blurred then darkened

I was once again on the boiling floor and in terrible pain

I was forcefully brought out of my meditation and into reality

The chill had spread from my head to my chest now

I didn't know how long before I died in this life

Of all the emotions I was experiencing at that moment

Anger was the most dominant one

And that surprised me

I was"t feeling any anger before

I felt really angry,

Angry at old Bu

angry at granny

Angry at my so-called parents

Angry at everything but most of all

I felt angry at myself

For being a coward

For not fighting

For being afraid

The anger gave me clarity and strength

That allowed me to move and think again

I didn't want to die just yet

I once again ran the Yin Qi sutra of mountain river flow through my body

This time something unexpected happened

As I ran the sutra I was able to clearly sense every inch of my body

From My beating heart to my

Fingernails to my toes to my every pore and muscle to the blood flowing through my he is

I was conscious of everything including the Yin Qi

I could feel every nuance of every cell in my body

And I could clearly feel that the method was somehow wrong

The flow of Qi was not only obstructed at various locations it never reached any of the acupoints

I was just forcing the Qi into my bloodstream causing the blood to chill and this was killing me

I instantly corrected the flaws

And the strange chill started to fade

A heard a pop at the place where the 'third eye' acupoint was

It causes a short burst of pain at first then a relaxing sensation spread and a strange cool power began to radiate from the acupoint

Causing a feeling of accomplishment and fulfilment

I followed this feeling and attacked all the acupoints

on my face neck back of the head top of the head around my eras

Every time an acupoint was unlocked it would cause me a small instance of pain

and then a relaxing sensation would appear

and then I felt a strange cool powered radiating from that acupoint

I unlocked nearly 108 appoints and this was only on my head

I concluded that there were more than 108 acupoints Pollux told me about

I became scared and angry at this the sutra Old man Bu gave me was flawed

It nearly killed me

Pollux never gave me the complete information

Was nobody entirely helping me for the sake of helping me

This world was too cruel and scary

With the pain gone I was able to move so I got and sat down in a lotus position

And started to sense my body

My heart was pounding like crazy with excitement

It felt like it would explode

My body was quickly warming up

it felt like

I was on fire as a flame flicker

I could sense the strong cold power radiating from me

I also felt the strange anger that wasn't going away quickly enough

Nevertheless, I was still ao happy to feel this way strong and angry instead of afraid and powerless

However, before I could explore this newfound power and strength

I heard a maniacal laughter

coming from behind me

I quickly turned to the source of the laughter

There I saw a naked tall man

Skipping and prancing around the room

He suddenly stopped and

Laughed So hard that he fell down

And then he jumped up and started to sing loudly

"Yes!, Yes!, He is Alive!, He is alive!..........................

Like it was his favourite song

He then came to a halt and looked at me with a big bright smile as if he was waiting for my applause

'This can't be good' I thought

As I looked at him

I shook myself and stood up making a session

" Who are you?" I asked loudly

The man seemed honestly shocked

His smile disappeared and he stood up straight looking at me in astonishment

Then he said something that shocked me

"You can see me?"

Wait a good dammed second

"I can see him?" I asked myself

Well, apparently Yes!

I can see him

Me a blind man with no eyes can see him

What the hell was happening??

I once again looked at him for confirmation

Well, he was big and in fucking white and black, but yes I could see him

A million questions came to my head but I suppressed them and looked around

Not just the man I could see the entire place in black and white

I was super happy to be able to see again

I was in a stone chamber filled with many bones some looked human others not so much

' Fuck me where was I?'

I turned back to the naked man

I gave him a sideways glance and shrugged

Like I can see you, Duh

"Why are you naked?" I asked distracting myself

The man was silent for a long time

I was growing nervous

The silence grew a bit too loud

I was about to say something else when

He spoke

"Hmmm," the began chuckle

"Don't you know?"

Well, for a moment I wasn't sure

Was I supposed to know?

Fuck me of course I didn't know

"Yea!" I said and sacred at him intently

I was surprised as to how his nakedness wasn't making me uncomfortable

"The dead doesn't need any clothes"

He shouted and began to laugh harder than ever

As if he just told me a world-class joke

I gave him the

' yep you are 200% mentally ill"

Look

"Are you dead?" I asked

The man nodded

'This situation couldn't get any weirder' I thought

"Yes I am," he said

"Why do you ask?"

I shrugged

"Just wanted to know if I was dead as well" I replied

"No!, No!, you didn't die, I'm very happy you didn't die," he said

And the man started to sing again "yes he isn't dead.........

As he began to dance strangely

With every passing second, I was growing more confused

Right then pollux marched into the room

Holy shit was this guy tall

At least 8 feet by my estimate

The guy headed straight for the naked man

Can't pollux see the dancing naked man? I thought

I was expecting a collision

But pollux went right through the man as if he wasn't there

And came in front of stunned me

'Playing around I see" he barked at me

" It has been a month now how much progress have you made, tell me"

I wisely stayed quiet

Pollux snorted and made a disgusted face

"I think we should just give up I will talk to old Bu," he said to the air atop me

And turned around and left me

I was wrong this situation got much weirder

There I was standing all confused and shit with a naked man dancing around me whom evidently I could see and pollux couldn't

What in the world is happening I asked myself
