Chapter 816: Stone Bridge Town: Slaying Ghosts
The night was dark, and the husband on the street had passed the hour, and most of the people in the entire Shiqiao Town had already slept, and Master Chen was very happy tonight, but he still rested. Tomorrow is the Xiao family in the town's big kiln factory to marry a new daughter-in-law, and I still have to go. Maybe I should take my daughter with me and tell the villagers that my daughter is fine!
Chen Yao lay on his bed, listened to the sound of the watch, turned over and got up as fast as he could, and then left through the window, revealing a vigorous figure in the night.
Temple of the Goddess
Ziyun and Zhuge Leng came out of the Su family's shop and rushed here one step earlier, and the senior brother of the Goddess Temple was also ready to do it, and the junior brother Ah Hai heard the whole thing from the senior brother, how could this young man never think that there would be so many things in the town.
Then Chen Yao also rushed to the temple of the goddess, and several people in the Chen family made an appointment to eliminate the ghosts entrenched in the town in the middle of the night, Ziyun saw that there was still time to spare, so he said: "It's still early, if it's okay, can Miss Chen tell us what happened to you in the past year?"
Chen Yao nodded, no one could listen to what happened to him for a year, and now he could finally say it all.
A year ago, the young people in the town met to go up the mountain, and then their friend Su Fang lied that something had fallen and asked Chen Yao to help find it. After looking around, she didn't find anything, but when Chen Yao returned to the meeting place, she found that everyone had dispersed, and she thought about going down the mountain like this. But I was worried that Su Fang was still looking for something on the mountain, even if she couldn't find it, she would be anxious if she couldn't come back to see her. I just waited where I was for a while.
After the sky turned dark, Chen Yao didn't plan to wait longer, everyone here was very familiar, maybe Su Fang couldn't find something and thought she was going back, so she also left? Chen Yao walked directly down the mountain, but because it was dark relatively quickly, she couldn't see the road clearly before she reached the bottom of the mountain, and then she slipped under her feet and fell into a small pit on the side of the road. Her head happened to be on a stone, and Chen Yao already felt a hot current gushing out of the back of her head, and the whole person was dizzy and couldn't make a sound.
At this moment, a female voice sounded in her ear, "I'll send you home." ”
After that, Chen Yao's body moved uncontrollably, her consciousness was not fully awake, but she saw a different scene, the entire sky and earth seemed to be stained with blood, and there were many ethereal things flying around in the entire mountain. Is this a ghost!?
There are not only many animals in the sky, but also a few human figures floating. It's just that Chen Yao, a girl in a small town, has never seen this, and the whole person is frightened, but her body walks uncontrollably towards the town step by step.
Back in the town, many ghosts could still be seen, and Chen Yao, who had recovered a little, immediately found that he was also wrapped in a burst of spirits. When he got home, Chen Yao, who could make a sound, shouted that there were ghosts, there were many ghosts!!
Master Chen didn't know what his daughter encountered when he went up the mountain to party, but when he saw that his daughter was crazy, he immediately called someone to invite the seventh uncle of the temple to come and have a look. But he also told his subordinates not to make a noise, after all, it is not a good reputation to bump into evil spirits or ghosts.
Then the seventh uncle and the eldest disciple Ah Shou rushed over, and sure enough, they said that Chen Yao had hit a ghost, and immediately used a spell to scatter the void spirit behind Chen Yao, but no one noticed that there was still a trace of remnants entering Chen Yao's body. Because the possessed spirit body was broken, Chen Yao, who was injured on her body, had no strength to continue making trouble, and everyone thought that she was just tired after the exorcism, and they didn't pay much attention.
At this time, Ah Shou interjected, that time he went to the Chen family with the master, because the Tao was not enough, so the master's exorcism process, he did not see something deeper. It was also after that time that the seventh uncle explained to the two disciples that Chen Yao had hit an evil spirit on the mountain, and combined with the suspicious earthquake before, something big must have happened on the mountain. For the safety of the town, Uncle Seven decided to go up the mountain, but this time the matter seemed to be a little tricky, so he didn't bring two disciples. It was also since that day that Uncle Seven never came back.
Chen Yao continued his story, and after a few more days, Chen Yao's injuries healed a lot, but she could still see ghosts, even the ghosts of people who had just passed away in the town.
At that time, she was just an ordinary girl, where could she accept this kind of fright, so she could only howl and shout that there were ghosts while running. Everyone also thought that Chen Yao had gone crazy because of a fall and injury. Originally, everyone just sympathized with her. But gradually, Chen Yao discovered that some of the animal spirits in the original mountain ran down the mountain, and they were entrenched in the town, although they would not interfere with everyone's life, they were real.
But no matter how Chen Yao shouted, everyone couldn't see or feel it. At that time, Chen Yao also begged for help like Ah Shou. But Uncle Seven didn't return for a long time, and Ah Shou was shallow, so he just checked it but didn't find anything. Everyone didn't doubt that from Chen Yao's voice to the present, if it was really as she said that there were many ghosts in the town, then how could everyone be safe?
What made Chen Yao even more anxious was that the soul that was originally just wandering around the town began to attach to the human body, and after a long time, those who were possessed began to become depressed and slow to move. Sometimes they even fall on the ground, or trip over themselves, and in the most serious case, they drown in a ditch.
At first, Chen Yao just wanted to drive away those possessed ghosts, but she could see but couldn't drive them away, and in the eyes of ordinary people, she was more like attacking passers-by for no reason, so she was also restrained many times.
In the process of pushing and shoving, Chen Yao was inadvertently scratched, and it was this time that she discovered that her blood had a healing effect on those souls. So Chen Yao, who often got herself, also attacked passers-by, and she gradually became a crazy woman in people's mouths.
In the past year, Chen Yao has also honed from an ordinary girl with weak quality to a crazy woman with insolent skills. Especially when it was discovered that these spirits preferred to cling to young children, which led to the death of many babies. Chen Yao could no longer scruple about fear and influence. She directly found a knife to scratch herself, and the blood-stained blade could not only cure her, but even kill those evil spirits that possessed her.
In the past year, every time Chen Yao is crazy with a knife, she is actually saving people, if Zhuge Leng hadn't intervened the day before yesterday, she would have slashed the evil spirit on the baby's body a long time ago.
Zhuge Leng asked, "What kind of evil spirit is that?"
"It's a monkey ghost that bites the baby's head, so the baby keeps crying, and if left unchecked, for three days at most, the child will cry to death, and the evil spirit will become more difficult to deal with. There were a few times before I had been caught back, and I didn't have time to get rid of them, so I could only watch them kill the children and get worse. ”
Only then did a few people understand why Chen Yao had a series of abnormal behaviors, and why she always hurt herself, during which she also asked Ah Shou for help, but unfortunately Ah Shou's skills were not enough, and there was no other way to hell, when there were no major changes in the town, she only thought that Chen Yao was crazy. Alone, Chen Yao could only start fighting the evil spirits alone, and at the same time did not dare to trust anyone anymore. That's why she didn't say anything to a few people this morning, until Ziyun said that she had a way to see the hell.
And during this time, Chen Yao didn't dare to tell her father that she was not crazy, because everyone couldn't see the evil spirit, and she couldn't explain her 'slashing' move, so she could only keep silent. Repeating the process of escaping, removing spirits, being caught, and beating them severely. At the same time, he also practiced how to untie the rope buckle to escape and how to swing the knife steadily and accurately.
Knowing about Chen Yao's matter, Ziyun said: "It seems that everything is still on the mountain. ”
Ah Shou, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Actually, if we want to find Master, we still have a way. ”
Zhuge Leng asked: "Is there a way? Then why didn't you use it before?"
Ah Shou said: "Actually, the method is very simple, find one of the master's things, use the red line as a guide, and release the sky lantern to guide the way." But because I don't know what happened to Master, I don't dare to do it without permission, Miss Chen is isolated and no one can be trusted, how can we not be like this, even Master can't deal with it, rashly looking for it, maybe it will cost me and my brother and my life, then there is really no way back. ”
Ziyun nodded and said: "What Daoyou said makes sense, tonight we will clean up the ghosts in the town first, and tomorrow we will go to the mountains together to thoroughly investigate the truth and relieve the troubles." ”
Ah Shou said: "Okay, if the two Daoists are willing to help, they will definitely be able to solve this disaster." ”
Chen Yao also said: "Count me in, the number of evil spirits in the town has increased recently, I don't know what is on the mountain, but I can be sure that the situation is more serious, I can't let Shiqiao Town be entangled by these ghosts." ”
The little junior brother Ah Hai also immediately said: "I'll go too!"
......
After discussing the details of going up the mountain, the two brothers went to get the prepared guys. Senior Brother Ah Hai said excitedly: "Senior brother, I can finally go to the master!"
This year, because of the disappearance of the master, the two brothers have been worried, just like Ah Shou said, even if there is a way to guide the way with a sky lantern, but the unknown risk is too great, so they have not dared to make up their minds. Now with the help of a master, I will definitely be able to find out what happened at the beginning.
Senior Brother Ah Hai was originally very excited, but looking at Senior Brother's gloomy face, he was very puzzled: "What's wrong, Senior Brother?"
Ah Shou sighed: "This year, it has been Miss Chen who has been protecting Shiqiao Town, even if she is misunderstood by everyone, she is still protecting everyone, you know, this should have been done by us." Ah Shou blamed himself very much for what happened to Chen Yao, if he could have noticed it earlier, or if he could have believed Chen Yao earlier, things would not have developed like this. Nowadays, many people have been victimized by evil spirits, but as a cultivator, they have done nothing, and they have only relied on a weak woman to carry the burden alone.
Ah Hai was also silent, as a disciple of the Goddess Temple, because of the disappearance of the master, he hated Chen Yao more than ordinary people, others only regarded her as a crazy woman, but he knew that she was the only person who had contact with the master before his disappearance. Due to the obstruction of his senior brother, Ah Hai couldn't go up the mountain to investigate, so he could only use Chen Yao to vent his anger, he also cursed and yelled, and even threw stones to beat Chen Yao like ordinary children.
Ah Hai, who is usually active and slightly rebellious, has lips squirming but can't say a hard word: "I...... I'll never hit her again. ”
"Let's go, clean up all the ghosts in the town first. Ah Shou knew that his junior brother didn't say it, but he had a deep apology in his heart, and he didn't want to reprimand his junior brother, so it was important to do the right thing first.
A group of five people walked towards the town, Ah Shou and Ah Hai changed into the apricot yellow robes of the main gate, and Ziyun also opened their eyes with a charm. In fact, to some extent, Ah Shou and Chen Yao are complementary partners. Ah Shou has a compass in his hand that can point out the direction of the ghosts, but some ghosts that are not so angry cannot show their shapes, so it is difficult to see. But Chen Yao is just the opposite, she can see ghosts, but she can't find ghosts. So in the past year, she can only destroy the obvious ones on the street, and sometimes she will come out at night and rummage into the courtyards of other people's houses to look for them. But it was not possible to enter the house.
Chen Yao's hand was very flexible, and Ah Shou couldn't help but admire. A year ago, she was just a virtuous and gentle little jasper, but several battles with evil spirits have given her a good sense of fighting, although her physical fitness is still in the category of ordinary people, but the knife is steady and accurate, and she is not ambiguous, and she is like a spirit ape flying across the wall, not losing to Ah Hai's leather boy. If Master had accepted her as a disciple, maybe her achievements would have been the highest.
This time, everyone had already discussed it, and the team of five people mainly relied on Ah Shou and Ziyun, who had all learned Taoist techniques and could seal lonely souls with rune paper and clay pots. After all, even if it is the soul of an animal, it is a life that can be reincarnated, and it is against heaven to kill for no reason. Chen Yao's incomprehension technique, even if she used a blood spatula to drive away the spirit, she also discovered it by chance, so the soul she encountered, only the soul flew away, and in a way, this was also a crime.
This time, there were two people presiding over the seal, Zhuge Leng had the strongest skills, and he used rune paper to stick on the sword just in case, Ah Hai didn't achieve anything, and he left to make a move and help hug something. And Chen Yao also said that the ordinary soul let the two of them seal, if it has begun to bend over the evil spirit of people, she will solve it with a knife.
In a resident's house, the owner was already asleep, Ziyun and Chen Yao turned over and entered the courtyard, Ziyun had kung fu and came in easily, while Chen Yao just stepped on the wall and hooked the eaves to come in. Before coming to the main house, Ziyun condensed the wind spirit spell at his fingertips, and slowly staggered the door latch. Then the two quickly came to the window, a couple was asleep, Ziyun shot at the neck of the husband and wife like electricity, and the husband and wife fainted without feeling anything.
Ziyun wanted to do it himself, but Chen Yao quickly killed the evil spirit that was attached to the male owner.
The two returned the same way, Ziyun tied the latch outside as if nothing had happened, and then said: "Miss Chen, you have killed so many souls, although it is to save people, but it will eventually involve cause and effect......
Chen Yao flicked the blade: "I know, if it weren't for your righteous action, I alone would never be able to clean up the town like this, how could I let you be contaminated with sin? Chen Yao said this, and he was not even ready to let the pair of senior brothers in the Goddess Temple do it. Ziyun wanted to persuade again, but Chen Yao had already walked out of the courtyard.
On the street, Ah Shou was holding a big clay pot, and all the souls on the street were incorporated into the clay pot by the huge suction force as soon as his fingertips turned, and the whole town said that it was not big or small. Most of the spirits wander the streets in ignorance, and they are easily swept away. And the one hidden in the corner of the resident's house, Ziyun turned it in and got it. As for those who have begun to absorb human beings into evil spirits, it is naturally Chen Yao who killed them with his own hands.
