Chapter 190: Peeling Back the Threads
Hearing the cause and effect, Murong Jie and Long Kui realized. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Did you hear that? There are ghosts in Huaxi Village!" Murong Jie dragged the nightshade to a large locust tree and said.
"Of course I did! The ghost is in the cave of Seven Miles. Nightshade nodded.
"That's right, what did you think of? Do you also think that the resentful ghost is the son of the rich man Zou? and do you believe that his son really has six ears and four eyes?" Murong Jie asked, he looked extremely excited.
"I don't know, maybe it is, maybe not, God knows what the truth is, but six ears and four eyes, it's too exaggerated, I have seen the Thousand Buddha Caves in the Tianshan Mountains, there are Buddha statues with six ears and four eyes, but I have never heard of the world, there are people with six ears and four eyes. Nightshade scratched her head and tried to guess what a person with six ears and four eyes should look like.
"I see, it's not necessarily haunted. Murong Jie said in a low voice, and after speaking, he looked back at the noisy villagers not far away, for fear that they would hear this.
"Isn't it haunted? What is that, who took the children from the village and killed those children around the Seven Mile Cave?" asked Nightshade hurriedly.
"Do you think it will be ......," Murong Jie lowered his voice and stopped talking.
"You mean ......" Nightshade seemed to think the same thing.
"What we're looking for!" Murong Jie was very proud.
"I think so, too, it's possible. ”
The Lingqi Mountain Range is no less than hundreds of miles in circumference. They ran to many places, and they had never heard of any hauntings, why was it only in Huaxi Village, such a bizarre and strange thing happened, and it happened that there was a strange hole seven miles outside the village.
It is understandable that there are caves on the mountain, and no matter where you go in Lingqi Mountain, you can see many caves of different sizes. However, those natural caves, shallow one or two zhang, deep more than ten zhang, in general, are not too deep, and can never be described as unfathomable.
The caves of Qilidi are unfathomable, apparently extending into the depths of Lingqi Mountain. The appearance of an unfathomable cave for no reason is probably not as simple as a natural cave, and there must be something strange in it.
Worm Er said very clearly, the inspiration of one of the four holy beasts, Qiqi, was sealed and suppressed in Lingqi Mountain, which was used to guard the aura of Lingqi Mountain.
Lingqi Mountain is a spiritual mountain, a dojo for practicing qi and cultivating immortals, lonely souls and wild ghosts dare not mess around, so there has never been a ghost in other places, but this kind of thing happened in Huaxi Village, I am afraid that it is not just a haunting as the villagers say, there must be another hidden story behind it.
Inspiration Qiqi is sealed in Lingqi Mountain, then there must be an entrance in Lingqi Mountain, leading to the sealing place of Inspiration Qiqi. The cave in Qilidi is unfathomable, leading directly to the depths of the Lingqi Mountain, and it is likely that the entrance to the sealing land is located.
The ancestors of the Zou family chose the cave as the family cemetery because of the mystery of the cave, which may also mean that the cave is not a natural formation. If the cave is not naturally formed, then what will be the reason for the appearance of a huge cave in Lingqi Mountain, which is unfathomable.
Murong Jie and Long Kui saw hope at the same time, this is the only clue they can find so far, hoping to be able to peel back the cocoon according to this, and finally find the place of inspiration.
After some careful consideration, Murong Jie and Long Kui decided that instead of entering the tiger's den, they would help the villagers to exorcise ghosts. It's just that Murong Jie and Long Kui's views are completely different from those of the villagers in Huaxi Village. They didn't think that it was the resentful spirits who were doing it, but that all these incidents were caused by the sealed Qianqi, and the two of them decided that it was Qiqi who harmed those children, and it was definitely not the son of the eldest master of the Zou family, and the ghosts did not disperse and returned to the village to ask for their lives.
With a decision in their hearts, Murong Jie and Long Kui came to the villagers again, wanting to deal with the ghosts together with the villagers.
They really wanted to help, but the villagers didn't accept it. Although Murong Jie and Long Kui are extraordinary, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are still half-grown children, if the villagers take them with them, I am afraid that not only will they not be able to help the villagers, but they will cause chaos to the villagers everywhere, and in the end they can only become a burden to the tail.
In desperation, Murong Jie and Long Kui,
had to move out of their identity as disciples of Sizhaotang, and they had to show a few hands in front of the villagers. This finally made the villagers believe that they were indeed disciples of Sizhaotang.
Knowing that Murong Jie and Long Kui were the disciples of Sizhaotang, the attitude of the villagers towards them changed dramatically in an instant, and they no longer regarded them as half-grown dolls, but as living bodhisattvas in the world.
Sizhaotang's prestige is a household name, and it is not easy to become a disciple of Sizhaotang, let alone an upright disciple, even if he becomes a lay disciple who cooks on a fire, in the eyes of the poor people, it is already a beautiful thing to glorify the ancestors and smoke from the ancestral tomb.
Now that the disciples of Sizhaotang have come, they want to help everyone drive away the resentful ghosts, and they are the villagers of Huaxi Village, and even the trappers and fast hands sent by the Yamen are all happy to breathe a sigh of relief, and they are no longer afraid of the unknown fear.
As if they were holding the moon in their hearts, everyone welcomed Murong Jie and Long Kui into the village, hugged them in front of them, and carefully asked how they could submit to the resentful ghosts of the Seven Mile Cave.
Murong Jie and Long Kui are disciples of Sizhaotang, yes, but what Sizhaotang can have is all the exercises of practicing qi and cultivating immortals, how can there be a spell to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits, and how can they understand these things.
But now that the wood is in the boat, you can't admit it in front of people, even if you don't know anything, you can only bite the head, and you don't know how to pretend to hold on.
Afraid that Nightshade didn't leak out of his mouth, Murong Jie secretly told him repeatedly that Nightshade must not talk nonsense, lest he make a mistake and expose his feet, which would be really embarrassing and generous.
People want to face trees and bark, and they can lose anything, but they can't be ashamed. Nightshade is a good-faced person, and he values face more than his life, how can he be embarrassed in front of so many people.
Nightshade immediately promised that she would seal her mouth tightly and not say a word of nonsense, no matter what others asked him, she would never go to it.
After appeasing the nightshade, Murong Jie's hanging heart was half relieved. In front of everyone, Murong Jie put on a posture of a fortune teller, as if he really was, knowing five hundred years before, five hundred years later, and five hundred years in the middle.
Murong Jie was talking nonsense, blowing a lot, and he really looked a little similar, in addition to the bloody chicken head or something, Murong Jie also asked the people in the village to prepare a peach wood sword, prepare yellow money paper, prepare yin and yang water, prepare donkey hooves, prepare rouge powder, and prepare ash at the bottom of the pot.
Dog's blood chicken head, peach wood sword, yellow money paper, yin and yang water, donkey hooves, these things can be understood by everyone, and they are also commonly used to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters on weekdays, but what use can be used for rouge powder and pot bottom ash, are the ghosts afraid of these things.
The mountain people have their own clever plans, and the villagers don't dare to ask more, they just prepare as required, and they have thousands of trusts in the disciples of Sizhaotang.
With Murong Jie and Long Kui, the two backbones from Sizhaotang, no one cares about the two Taoist priests in the cave.
The villagers are busy preparing the necessary items, hoping to subdue the ghosts of the cave as soon as possible, and no more children will go missing in the village.
