Chapter 16 Lingshou Village
Su Murong heard that the two of them promised Pingqing and Pingjian that they could no longer regret it, and they would go if they wanted to go, and it was also their duty to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, so he asked, "Zhu Hao, where do you live?"
Zhu Hao saw that Su Murong and the others agreed, his expression was quite complicated, and he said, "You come with me, our village is not far from here." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" After speaking, he didn't take the main road, and went directly into the woods.
Su Murong stopped Zhu Hao and said, "Why don't you take the big road?"
Zhu Hao glanced back and said, "Take the path in the forest quickly." ”
Su Murong and Murong Su glanced at each other and decided to follow over to take a look, the Pingqing Peace Sword had already run to the front. A group of seven people still followed Zhu Hao into the woods.
The woods are densely wooded, and it's dusk, but it's cool. Cangyun and the others talked and laughed, and they were not bored. Zhu Hao walked in the front to lead the way. I don't know when, the sky has already darkened, a cold wind blew, Suzaku and Zhu Xue trembled, Zhu Xue said: "It's a little cold, senior brother, senior sister, do you feel it?"
Cangyun didn't practice mana, and he couldn't distinguish between ghost powers, but when the wind blew just now, he felt a cold air rise on his back, and said, "It seems to be strange." ”
Su Murong took a breath and said, "The yin qi is heavier, but there are birds and beasts dying every day in this forest, and there is less sunlight, so it is normal for the yin qi to be heavier at night." Moving forward is. ”
After listening to Su Murong's explanation, everyone was a little settled in their hearts, and Zhu Hao saw that Cangyun and the others did not flinch, and their hearts were also a little calmer. He turned around and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's cold at night in the woods, and the village will arrive soon, so you can get warm in the village." Everyone felt that Zhu Hao's face was even paler, and they all felt uncomfortable in their hearts, and they couldn't say why.
Zhu Hao led the way, walked for a while, and suddenly stopped, trembling all over. Seeing this, Su Murong hurriedly took a step, carried the sword qi to his hand, gently placed it on Zhu Hao's back, and said, "Fifth senior brother, fix the corpse talisman." ”
Cang Yun didn't understand why Su Murong wanted the corpse talisman, so he still sent one over, Su Murong took the corpse talisman and pasted it on Zhu Hao's back, and Zhu Hao gradually stopped shaking.
Murong Su frowned and said, "Senior brother, could it be that Zhu Hao is a ghost?"
When the people heard this, they immediately took vigilance.
Su Murong said: "No, in my opinion, Zhu Hao was invaded by ghost qi. The yin qi here was heavy, causing the ghost qi in Zhu Hao's body to attack. ”
After a moment, Zhu Hao eased up, and his face was not as pale as just now. Su Murong said: "Zhu Hao, you have hidden my fifth junior brother's corpse talisman in your clothes, which can suppress the ghost power in your body. ”
Zhu Hao looked at the corpse talisman, carefully put it in his underwear, and said, "Thank you." ”
Suzaku asked, "Zhu Hao, how can you be haunted by ghost power?"
Zhu Hao said: "There are ghosts entering our village these days, and I saw it last night, maybe it was the ghost gas that was stained at that time." I ran out today to find someone to get rid of the demon, and I found you. ”
Cang Yun's heart was excited, and he asked, "Then why don't you let adults come out to find people to hunt ghosts, and let you let a little child come out?"
Zhu Hao said hatefully: "Those adults don't believe that they are ghosts, I have seen them and said that I am a liar, so I can only come out by myself to find someone to catch ghosts." ”
Murong Su said: "The spirituality of children is higher than that of ordinary adults, and it is normal for Zhu Hao to see ghosts but adults not to see them." ”
Su Murong said: "No matter what, just go and see." ”
Seeing that everyone believed in him, Zhu Hao breathed a sigh of relief and continued to lead the way.
After walking for nearly two hours, the woods became denser, and no starlight in the sky could penetrate the dense forest. Pingqing shouted: "Zhu Hao, didn't you say it's very close? Why have you walked for almost two hours now, and you haven't arrived yet? What is the name of your village?"
Zhu Hao also showed fatigue and said: "It's coming soon, turn the hillside in front of you, our village is called Lingshou Village, and outsiders don't know much." ”
But everyone didn't know about Lingshou Village, and they only said that they were not familiar with the surrounding villages, and they didn't care.
After walking for a while, sure enough, after crossing the hillside, everyone saw a little light not far away, faintly in the shape of a village, and the scale was not small. Seeing the village, the eight people all quickened their pace, and it only took a few teas to walk to the entrance of the village, and saw that the archway at the entrance of the village had three big characters written on Lingshou Village, which was somewhat broken, and then looked at the village There were only a few faint lights in the house, and there was a light cyan.
Zhu Hao said: "Everyone, it's here." ”
Su Murong stopped Cangyun and the others who were about to enter the village, and said, "There is a lot of yin qi in this village, if there is really only one ghost, then this ghost should be a powerful ghost." He looked at Zhu Hao again and said, "If it is a powerful ghost, adult people should also be aware of it." ”
Cangyun and the others also looked at Zhu Hao. Zhu Hao smiled miserably and said, "I don't know about this, but you are all here, let's go into the village and have a look." ”
Cangyun and the others were on their own alert, and the Pingqing Peace Sword was no longer as relaxed as it was, and they also felt the suppressed yin qi of this Lingshou Village. But since I've arrived in the village, I'm not willing to do a look.
Suddenly, a terrible scream pierced the sky.
The crowd was going to enter the village slowly, but when they heard the scream, they didn't care much, and rushed to the place where the scream came from. At the same time, there was the click of doors and windows closing doors. Cang Yun and the others didn't care about it, and just rushed to the scene of the crime.
Everyone rushed to the sound, only to see a ghost in a big white robe dressed in a ghost's traditional costume pinching a woman, biting the woman's neck and sucking blood.
Su Murong shouted: "Evil obstacles, don't stop yet." After that, a sword qi shot out, and the ghost's reaction was also sensitive, plus Su Murong had to take care of the woman who was pinched by the ghost, the sword qi was slightly off, and the speed was not fast, and it was dodged by the ghost. It's just that the ghost didn't dodge the yellow paper that followed, and as Murong Su said "thunder", the ghost screamed, ignoring the woman, and fled quickly.
Ignoring the pursuit and killing of the evil ghosts, Cangyun and the others went to monitor the woman's situation first. The woman's neck was bleeding profusely, and she couldn't see that she was alive. In the end, he straightened up a few times and stopped moving. Seeing a living person die in front of him for the first time, Cangyun and the others felt their hearts beat faster and their stomachs churned.
At this time, Zhu Hao ran over panting, and when he saw the female corpse on the ground, his face turned pale instantly, and he shouted, "Aunt Wu." ”
I don't know if I heard the scream of the ghost just now, or heard Zhu Hao's scream, every house has the sound of opening the door, and gradually the names of the village come around, consciously standing in a circle to provide the largest viewing area.
The villagers not only saw Aunt Wu's body on the ground, but also saw Cangyun and others, and began to whisper, but they did not express much shock at Aunt Wu's death. Eventually, the names of the village grew louder and louder, until an old man made his way through the crowd and came to the front. It seems that the person in charge of the village has stepped forward.
When the old man saw Cang Yun and the others, and then saw Zhu Hao standing with them, his face changed, and he asked, "Ah Hao, did you bring a few Xiaodao chiefs here?"
Zhu Hao said: "Yes, village chief, I invite these Taoist leaders to catch ghosts." ”
The old man saw that among Cangyun and the others, Su Murong and Murong Su were the oldest, only twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger Suzaku and Zhu Xue were only about ten years old, so he shook his head and sighed: "What kind of ghosts can you catch when you find these children?"
Zhu Hao was unconvinced and said: "These Taoist chiefs are very powerful, and the old man Zhao in Yunlai Town also asked them to do things." ”
The old man's face turned cold and said, "What, you still run to Yunlai Town?
Zhu Hao realized that he had said the wrong thing, and bowed his head and said, "No, I found a few Taoist leaders outside Yunlai Town, and I didn't talk to anyone in the town." ”
The old man's face softened slightly, and Pingqing Hepingjian's face came up, and he shouted: "You are the village chief? Look down on us? Didn't you see that we almost killed that ghost just now?"
When the village chief heard this, his face changed a few times, and he muttered: "I see, that's the old decay and disrespect, I don't know all the masters, all the Taoist chiefs are really willing to help Lingshou Village catch ghosts?"
Cangyun said: "Eliminating demons and defending the road, catching ghosts and subduing demons is the duty of people in my generation. ”
The village chief laughed dryly twice and said, "Okay, it's really a hero out of a teenager, do those Taoist chiefs want to rest for one night and start hunting demons tomorrow?"
Zhu Xue said: "That ghost ran away just now, let's just go find it and kill it, and I don't know where to hide tomorrow." ”
The village chief said: "Okay, I didn't expect that the Taoist chiefs are still enthusiastic about the ancient road, I won't hide it from you, the old man knows where the ghost is, but the place is dangerous, I don't know if you dare to go?"
Hearing what the village chief said, Zhu Hao's face changed drastically, and he was about to open his mouth, but he was so frightened that he stopped opening his mouth by a cold eye from the village chief.
Ping Jian said: "Village chief, we are here to catch ghosts, how can there be a murderer who is not dangerous, take us there." ”
Murong Su stopped Ping Jian and asked, "I wonder how the village chief knows where that ghost is hiding?"
The village chief said: "It's a shame to say that the ghost is actually a person from the village, and a few days ago there was a fire in the village and a scoundrel was burned to death. After the villagers found his body, no one was willing to pay for his burial, so they just rolled up a straw mat and hurriedly threw it into the cave in the back mountain. It is also to blame us for being stingy and not giving the dead a place to go, which caused these troubles. The ghost must return to the corpse, and the old man can take the Taoist to the place where the villagers threw the corpse, so as to help the Taoist master catch ghosts and eliminate demons. ”
Zhu Xue said: "Then you really didn't do it right, how should you bury it, how can you throw the corpse?"
The village chief said: "The lesson of the Taoist chief is that when the Taoist chief gets rid of the ghosts, the village should rebury him." ”
Cangyun said: "Then bother the village chief to guide the way." ”
The village chief responded: "Okay, the old man should personally lead the way." Zhu Ping, you find a few people to collect Wu Jun's body first, and mourn another day. ”
The big man who called Zhu Ping agreed, and found two tall men to carry Aunt Wu's body away, and the village chief waved his hand at Cangyun and the others, and said, "Fellow Daoists, come with the old man." ”
To the northeast of the village, there is a low hillside with a large hole at the bottom. The village chief stood still, pointed to the dark cave entrance, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the villagers of this village threw the body of that scoundrel at the bottom of the cave. ”
Cangyun looked at the entrance of the cave, it was pitch black, and there were gusts of wind blowing out, and he was really a little hairy in his heart, and then looked at the senior brother, calm as usual, and a little relieved.
The village chief said again: "Then the old man wishes you a safe return." ”
The seven of them glanced at the village chief again, only to see that the village chief's face was also pale, and the old face of the ravines reflected by the dim light lantern was quite terrifying. Several people settled down and slowly entered the cave, leaving the village chief standing alone outside the cave.
The village chief's eyes flickered at this time, and his face sneered.
After entering the cave, Su Murong grabbed everyone and said, "Senior brother, junior sister, there is something strange in this cave." ”
Su Murong finally spoke at this time, and Cangyun and the others listened carefully.
Su Murong continued: "As I saw just now, although that ghost is a powerful ghost, it is not a peerless ghost as I imagined, and it is impossible to release so much ghost qi that it affects the entire Lingshou Village, causing the yin qi in the village to be so heavy that there is a large amount of ghost qi in Zhu Hao's body. ”
Everyone nodded yes, and only then did they slowly recall the details of the way.
Su Murong continued: "If I'm not mistaken, the source of the ghost qi in this Lingshou Village is in this cave, and this cave emits such a violent ghost qi, seeing that Lingshou Village has been soaked in this ghost qi for a long time, so there is such a situation. There should be a peerless ghost in this cave, or a large number of ghosts gathered. ”
Several people were numb by Su Murong's scalp, and Suzaku asked, "Senior brother, were we deceived by the village chief?" Let's go back." ”
Su Murong smiled confidently and said, "It's okay, if you come, you will be safe, I'll go down and find out." ”
