Chapter 22: The Devil Guards the Door
After saying goodbye to Li Duobao, Luo Tian, Huang Er, and Lin Mu drove to Tanglin County again, this county is not large, but although the sparrows are small, the crowd is not small, Luo Tian casually found someone to ask about a demon ghost ridge and Chen Lao ghost. www.biquge.info As soon as the local residents heard that they were looking for Old Ghost Chen, they all looked like they couldn't avoid it, and in the end, Huang Er took out a hundred-yuan bill, which was considered someone to tell Luo Tian something about Old Ghost Chen. This old ghost Chen was a well-known Mr. Yin and Yang here more than ten years ago, specializing in seeing things, the so-called seeing things is to deal with some supernatural ghost incidents, it is said that at the beginning, Chen Lao Ghost was also regarded as his duty, and his ability was not bad, and he solved a lot of things, but then somehow, Chen Lao Ghost suddenly became sneaky, exuding a gloomy atmosphere, after a long time, he rarely interacted with people, and in recent years, he lived alone on the side of Evil Ghost Ridge, unless someone made a special trip to find him, otherwise he basically stopped showing up.
The resident who received the money told Luo Tian that the last time he saw Old Ghost Chen was two years ago.
The man saw that Luo Tian and the three of them were dressed neatly, and they came by car, and secretly thought that they were afraid that they were also coming to find Old Ghost Chen, so he suggested that they bring a few roast chickens when they went, preferably before lunch, and said to Luo Tian mysteriously, "I heard that this Old Ghost Chen is a disciple of Longhu Mountain, and he also went to Vietnam to learn spells, which is very powerful, if you encounter something, it is right to find him, hey, by the way, what happened to you?" Looking at the person in front of him with a curious face, Luo Tian snorted haha, sent him away with just two words, and then asked Lin Mu and Huang Er to inquire about the others again, Lin Mu didn't understand this, didn't he already inquire clearly? Luo Tian didn't explain, but just told them to go and return quickly. Huang Er didn't say anything about Luo Tian's request, Lin Mu was a little reluctant, but he could only be with Huang Er.
"Dragon Tiger Mountain?" Luo Tian lowered his head and thought about it, but he still decided to salute first and then soldier, after all, the lineage of Longhu Mountain should not be underestimated. "It's just that the disciples of this Dragon and Tiger Mountain actually study ghost arts, and this world is true." When Huang Er and Lin Mu went to ask others, Luo Tian wandered around the county seat for a while, and also inquired about some things about Devil Ridge, and bought a few roast chickens at the same time, although it was getting dark now, Luo Tian felt that it should be too late to rush over before dinner. In addition, I also got a lot of news about Devil Ridge, it is said that there are evil ghosts on Devil Ridge, and every night the ghost howls in the wind and cries wolf, and no one dares to go to Devil Ridge at night. No wonder the man reminded himself that he went at noon, it is estimated that it is also noon, but Luo Tianyi is bold, not to mention that he can't wait until tomorrow morning, it's too wasteful of time.
When Lin Mu, Huang Er and Luo Tian converged, the news they got was basically the same, it seemed that this Old Ghost Chen was quite famous here, and Luo Tian noticed that the people here didn't seem to have seen Old Ghost Chen for a year or two, and they didn't know if he was still in Evil Ghost Ridge at this time. Evil Ghost Ridge is near a small village next to the county seat of Tanglin County, after Lin Mu drove to this small village, he inquired about the people in the village, and soon followed the guidance of the villagers to a hill outside the village. Looking at a small road next to him, Luo Tian said, "You can't drive the rest of the road, let's walk up." Lin Mu looked at the path in front of him, surrounded by wild grass.
According to the previous instructions of the villagers, Luo Tian and the others followed the edge of the wasteland, brushed aside the weeds in front of them, and sure enough, they saw a path, winding and winding, and they couldn't see the end at a glance. Lin Mu looked at the sky and asked with some embarrassment: "Master Luo, it's getting late, will it be unsafe for us to travel at night?" "Actually, Lin Mu was a little scared, especially when he heard that there were evil ghosts in this Evil Ghost Ridge, and coupled with the experience of seeing the little ghosts before, Lin Mu had to take care of the danger of rushing to the night no matter how bold he was. Although he was a police officer, he did not dare to risk the dangers of going up the mountain at night. It's just that he has to hurry because he cares about five lives, and if he delays here for one more minute, then those colleagues will be in danger for one more minute.
"Hey, hey." Huang Er on the side smiled coldly, and said with a mocking face: "It's you who has been in a hurry just now, and now that it's almost time for you to move forward again, are you scared?" "At this time, it is desolate, and what he is looking for is Li Lao Ghost, and he is proficient in the Taoism of Longhu Mountain and the Vietnamese ghost art, in fact, Huang Er is also a little worried, but in front of Lin Mu, he must not show his timidity. Huang Er is still like this, how could Lin Mu be willing to be embarrassed in front of Huang Er, after Huang Er finished speaking, Lin Mu glared at Huang Er with a face and said in a low voice: "Who said I was scared?" I'm just worried about the unsafe night road and remind everyone to be prepared. After speaking, he patted his waist, where his matching gun was placed. glanced at Huang Er coldly, and said with disdain: "When I went into the mountains to chase the murderer, you didn't know where to play in the mud?" ”
After speaking, Lin Mu seemed to be in order to prove his courage and took the lead in the group. Looking at Lin Mu's actions, Huang Er sneered, winked at Luo Tian, and seemed to be still saying: Hey, you look at the goods, you will be used as a gun casually, let's follow him, and there is still time to react in case of danger. Seeing Huang Er's snickering expression, Luo Tian shook his head, his expression was very helpless, but he didn't break it, and he didn't even call Lin Mu, just asked him to be careful, and let Lin Mu go to the front. In the final analysis, Luo Tian didn't know much about Old Ghost Li, even Li Duobao only said that he had some Taoism, and he was good at ghost arts, as for the rest, Li Duobao didn't know anything.
Lin Mu, who walked in the front, actually regretted it a long time ago, but the three big men were together, he couldn't embarrass himself, so although he was scared in his heart, and his feet were faintly weak, but he still insisted on walking in the front, with the courage to know that there were tigers in the mountains and the tigers were biased towards the tigers, which was completely the posture of the pioneers. However, he was secretly praying in his heart not to encounter strange incidents, and at the same time hoped that Luo Tian would open his mouth and let him walk behind. It's a pity that along the way, Luo Tian didn't mean to speak, and when night fell, the three of them continued to walk with flashlights. It is actually very unsafe to drive the mountain road at night, but the three of them are all good, Luo Tian and Huang Er needless to say, Lin Mu is a policeman, and this situation is not uncommon, so he can also deal with it easily.
After walking for a while, there is a small col in front of me, the col is not wide, about 20 meters or so, there is a little red light in the middle, but it is dark on both sides, it seems that the middle of the col is where the old ghost Chen lives. Seeing the red light, Lin Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief, this evil ghost ridge can be said to be worried all the way, fortunately nothing happened, and occasionally some bird calls and insect chirping only made his heart beat faster. Stopping outside the mountain pass, Lin Mu looked back at Luo Tian, pointed to the red light, and said, "I think it's where Old Ghost Chen lives, it's still easy to find." As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mu's face suddenly changed, and he was a little annoyed, only to see Luo Tian and Huang Er holding a roast chicken and eating it, seeing this, Lin Mu couldn't help but ask: "You gave the gift to Old Ghost Chen to eat?" ”
Huang Er bit the chicken leg and didn't pay attention to Lin Mu at all, while Luo Tian looked at the chicken leg in his hand, and then looked at Lin Mu with an angry expression in surprise, and said casually: "If you are hungry on the road, you will eat, anyway, it is already dinner time now, and there are only a few roast chickens, Chen Lao Ghost should not be such a stingy person." On the road, Luo Tian could have held back his mouth, but the second master was hungry, you must know that the temptation of roast chicken for weasels is simply too great, and it is as fatal as the attraction of money to Li Duobao. The second master made a start, Huang Er was naturally not willing to lag behind, everyone ate it, Luo Tian naturally couldn't bear it, as for the forest tree leading the way in front, that guy was highly nervous along the way, his eyes kept looking at the front, where would he know what the people behind were doing, Luo Tian and Huang Er saw that Lin Mu was so serious, they were naturally embarrassed to disturb him, so they didn't ask him to eat together, not to mention, Huang Er felt that Lin Mu was only afraid and didn't have the heart to eat roast chicken.
Handing over the half-eaten chicken thighs, Luo Tian asked, "Do you want to have some?" ”
Lin Mu shook his head decisively, and couldn't help but say, "These are all for Old Ghost Chen, what should I do empty-handed for a while?" He didn't expect Luo Tian to be the same as Huang Er, so unreliable, he actually ate the gift for himself, if Old Ghost Chen got angry for a while, would it have an adverse impact on rescuing him at the same time? Lin Mu didn't know the bottom of his heart, seeing that Luo Tian withdrew his hand and continued to eat chicken legs, Lin Mu was really a little unbearable, and blurted out: "You are really unreliable? If Old Ghost Chen gets angry because of the gift, this responsibility ......"
Before Lin Mu could finish speaking, Luo Tian had already interrupted him coldly, "I will take this responsibility." ”
"Here in the wilderness, we don't have anything to eat, if Chen Lao Ghost doesn't cooperate for a while, then it's going to be done, if I don't have the strength, I don't necessarily have to do him, he is a cultivator, the spell is only afraid that it is not weak, if the Taoist priests start to do it, it will not be as simple as dying." Luo Tian looked Lin Mu up and down, suddenly smiled strangely, and said with some disdain: "I'm really a little strange, this old ghost Chen may be one of the participants, if he doesn't cooperate, then he can only move strongly, if he cooperates, it would be the best, that is to say, this time to find Old Ghost Chen, no matter what, you must get some valuable information from his mouth, otherwise the five lives will be in danger, in this case, in fact, it doesn't matter if the gift is not a gift." "On the way here, Luo Tian communicated with Huang Er, and this old ghost Chen handed over the little ghost to Granny Yin. He is either a participant, or he is the master who recognizes money but not people, such an opponent, it is impossible to buy it with a few roast chickens, and it is basically inevitable to use strength.
Lin Mu didn't say anything more, and Huang Er just sneered and continued to eat his chicken legs, as for Luo Tian, after eating two bites, he suddenly felt in no mood, but he didn't lose it, wasting is a shameful behavior, Luo Tian doesn't eat now, it doesn't mean that he won't be hungry for a while. The group thought about walking to the red light place in the middle, the soil on the ground was a little wet, and Luo Tian felt very uncomfortable when they stepped on it with one foot deep and one foot shallow. There are still a lot of weeds on the ground, and there is a noise when he walks over, looking at this situation, Luo Tian frowned unconsciously, a little strange, looking at the surroundings as if no one had passed by for a long time, and then raised his eyes to take out the red light, and said secretly: Could it be that Old Ghost Chen usually doesn't go out and go down the mountain?
I'm afraid that Old Ghost Chen is practicing some powerful spells in the mountains, so he hasn't shown up for the past year or two, and he can't find him.
There was a smell of corruption in the air, which made Luo Tian's face even more solemn, and he glanced at Huang Er beside him, at this time, Huang Er had already put down the chicken leg in his hand, and looked around solemnly, and the second master on his shoulder also raised his neck and sniffed in the air, it seemed that it also felt that something was wrong. Taking advantage of the forest trees leading the way in front, Luo Tian suddenly bent down, touched the soil on the ground with his hand, it was very soft, wet, and a little sticky, pinched a little bit in his hand, rubbed it with two fingers, and then put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, Luo Tian's face flashed a trace of enlightenment.
I see!
Clapping his hands, Luo Tian straightened up, glanced at Huang Er, the two exchanged glances, and nodded at the same time.
"Hurry up, there seems to be someone there." Lin Mu in front of him suddenly shouted, and then ran towards the red light quickly, Luo Tian and Huang Er glanced at each other, and at the same time accelerated to rush over, but Luo Tian's face was somewhat worried, but Huang Er looked like he was watching a good show, with a look of schadenfreude in his eyes. Soon the two saw that the red light in front of them was actually a fire, and there was a person sitting next to the fire, that person was sitting on a big rock, with his back to Luo Tian and the others, and there was a pot on top of the fire, and the pot was rumbling and bubbling, and streams of white smoke were rising, and the person was stirring in the pot with a long wooden spoon. Lin Mu walked to the fire, saw the figure, and looked at the cauldron on the fire, and couldn't help but swallow. He hadn't eaten much for a day, but now that he saw the pot and smelled the tempting aroma, Lin Mu couldn't help but drool.
"Do you want to taste it?" Without waiting for Lin Mu to speak, the person sitting there was the first to speak, and his voice was old, he should be an old man.
Lin Muleng paused for a moment, and hurriedly excused himself: "No, no, no, you are too polite, I am here to find ......"
"Hehe, I know who you are looking for, I am Old Ghost Chen, you are here for the affairs of those five policemen, come on, sit down and drink the soup, I will talk to you slowly." The old man's voice was a little cold, but Lin Mu was like a treasure, and he didn't care about Luo Tian and Huang Er at this time, he sat directly beside the old man, looking at the cauldron with his eyes, and suddenly he was not in a hurry in his mind, and he didn't even look at the old man's appearance, just stared at the pot, as if the contents of the pot had a great temptation for him. At this time, if Luo Tian and Huang Er could see Lin Mu's expression, they would find that Lin Mu's gaze was full of black gas.
"Hehe, the young man is hungry, come on, come on, drink a bowl of soup, make sure you have an endless aftertaste." The old man's voice came into the ears of Lin Mu.
Lin Mu listened to the old man's voice, nodded blankly, and responded, "Okay, let's have a bowl." ”
Listening to the sound of the spoon stirring, the old man's dry hand shook gently, and then scooped a spoonful with the spoon, and then he found that there was an extra bowl in his hand, looking at the extra bowl in his hand, Lin Mu's face flashed a trace of surprise, but soon he looked confused, and then raised the bowl in his hand and said, "Come to a bowl, it is so fragrant." ”
The old man slowly poured the soup into the bowl, and then Lin Mu blew, brought the bowl close to his mouth, and then drank it in a big gulp.
"Hmm, it's delicious, it's delicious."
Lin Mu, who was drinking the delicious hot soup, suddenly heard a cold voice.
"Can you take a good look at what you're drinking?"
Lin Mu, who was originally in a daze, suddenly saw a clear sight in front of him, and then saw Luo Tian standing in front of him, looking at himself condescendingly, with an expression that seemed to be smiling, and he was holding a talisman seal in his hand, which was just attached to his chest.
Lin Mu's mind was a little confused for a while, and he instinctively looked down at his hand.
But I saw that there was a bowl in my hand, I saw that I was holding a bunch of maggots in my hands, and the maggots in the white flowers were still alive, and they were squirming in my palms, and when I saw these maggots, Lin Mu suddenly let out a scream, and then felt that there was something strange in my mouth, and suddenly my face turned pale, and I couldn't help it anymore, and I vomited in a big gulp, only to see a large number of maggots spit out from my mouth.
"How so?"
When he looked up again, he saw that the old man sitting next to him looked back at himself at this time, the face was bloody and fleshy, full of wounds, and maggots were all over the place, some maggots crawled out of his eye sockets, and crawled into his mouth, at this time this terrifying and disgusting face was sneering at himself, and the cracked mouth was full of maggots. Look at the pot again, there is no soup in it, all of it is maggots, and the wooden spoon that scoops the soup is a human hand bone.
"Hey, lad, how does the soup taste?"
"Ghost......" Lin Mu let out a terrible scream, and just as Lin Mu was screaming again and again, he suddenly heard a low voice in his ears, "The vast drunken capital, the extreme fire and red thunder, my spirit talisman, urgent as the law." A golden light hit the face full of maggots, and suddenly black gas splashed everywhere, accompanied by a roar, and the eyes flashed, and when I looked closely, there was no fire around, and where there were grimaces, only a small wooden house stood alone in the moonlight, which looked particularly strange. Lin Mu struggled to get up, stood behind Luo Tian tremblingly, and asked in a trembling voice, "What happened just now?" ”
"Have you forgotten that the villagers said that evil spirits haunt this place? What you saw just now was an evil ghost, but I didn't expect that your yin and yang eyes are still effective now, and you can be regarded as talented. Luo Tian narrowed his eyes and looked at the small wooden house, and said quietly, "I'm afraid that this old ghost Chen is not simple, you had better stand behind me and Huang Er, otherwise we won't be able to protect you for a while." ”
"This is the door of the evil spirit, and it is difficult to enter the door." (To be continued.) )
