Chapter 36: Leprosy
Chapter XXXVI: Leprosy
Lu Li walked to the stone steps at the entrance of the ancient building and sat down, took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Little Liu, are you still reluctant to leave?"
The old ghost in the sea was floating and lying on the cyclone, crossing Erlang's legs. Hehe quipped, Lu Li didn't answer his words, spit out a smoke ring, and looked at the dug potholes under the dim street lamps, as well as some demolished houses on the side of the road: "Old ghost, there is a problem here." ”
"You see that, too?"
Lu Li pursed his mouth, can't you see this? Am I a pig? Ignoring the old ghost: "Min Rou passed by here and heard a strange noise, and then there were red spots, and you can see that the windblown treetops in the distance are swaying, here...... There was no breath of wind at all, and it was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. ”
"You're right, feng shui feng shui, there is wind and water, there is indeed a dead air here now, what are you going to do?"
The old ghost twisted his stubble in the sea of knowledge and nodded, the renovation of the old city may have destroyed the feng shui pattern here, and the aura of the guide was out of balance, so some unclean things ran out, which also explains why Min Rou does not grow spots in the morning and does not grow spots in the evening, but at this time.
"This place is quirky, there should be clues inside......"
Lu Li glanced back at the ancient building behind him, it was dilapidated, presumably no one had been here for a long time, this kind of old building was the favorite place for wandering ghosts to hide.
sat on the stone steps for more than an hour, fortunately, there were relatively few people passing by, and even if there were, he just looked at Lu Li, when he was a lovelorn young man who was depressed here.
0:00
There was a strange sound in the courtyard behind Lu Li, Lu Li stepped on the cigarette butt in his hand, turned around and pushed open the wooden door.
"Squeak ......", the wooden gate was pushed open, a gust of wind blew through, and the leaves on the ground were blown everywhere. ”
I only saw a square that could accommodate two or three hundred people, and the bluestone paved ground showed a vicissitudes of life, and there were four or five people, and the forehead was ...... Ghosts, who were gathering at one end of the square, two of them stood and three of them sat cross-legged on the ground of the bluestone slab, talking and laughing, no wonder Min Rou heard the eerie laughter, and Lu Li also sounded eerie, as if it came from the ground.
There are five ghosts, some old and some young, the younger two are eleven or twelve years old, the old one is in his early sixties and hunched up, and the other two are in their thirties and forties, and one is in their early twenties.
"Good evening, everyone!"
Lu Li said hello with a smile and walked towards them, this group of ghosts was startled by Lu Li's living person, except for the old ones, the rest looked at Lu Li in surprise: "You ...... Can you see us? ”
It's still better for the old man's concentration, and after asking, seeing that Lu Li didn't talk, the three who were originally sitting on the ground also stood up and looked at the young man who came over with a cautious face.
"We're ghosts, aren't you afraid?"
The old ghost said loudly again, revealing his identity, Lu Li sounded more like emboldening himself.
Lu Li got closer and closer: "Don't be afraid...... Fear...... Yes. ”
What are these words? The old ghost raised his middle finger at Xiaoliu on Zhihai Road, and he couldn't say everything at a critical time.
"What the hell is this?"
When the old ghost saw it clearly, he was also shocked, the five ghosts were ragged and tattered, and their bare skin was full of strange breeds, some were like rocks, some were like tree bark, some had a big bag on their faces, and their hands and feet were deformed, some of them had no fingers and toes, and some of their fingers were bent and deformed, like chicken feet that had been pumped, and two eleven or twelve-year-old imps, half of their eyes were protruding out of their sockets.
Lu Li wasn't afraid, he just felt too disgusting, seeing Lu Li coming in, these ghosts should have revealed their deaths, if they were like this when they died, they must have experienced a lot of pain.
Look at the scarlet patches that are all over the places where the skin is still good, similar to the ones on Min Rou's body, but the ones on Min Rou's body look like spots, and the ones on their bodies look like sores.
"Run......
The old man yelled, seeing that Lu Li was unmoved, he could probably guess that Lu Li was a capable person, where can ordinary people see ghosts, and how can ordinary people be so calm when they see ghosts.
"The universe is endless, the divine soldier borrows the law, sleepy!"
Lu Li didn't wait for them to react, he first summoned the Vajra Demon Descending Pestle and trapped the five people in the yellow light shield, and the five people rushed into the light curtain, rebounded back and smashed on the ground, the pain in their hearts made them howl.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the old man knelt on the ground, and the other four also knelt on the ground: "Big ...... My lord, although we are ghosts, we have never plagued the inhabitants here, so please let me go around us. ”
Kowtowing like a green onion, Lu Li stopped them: "You all get up, I'm not an adult, my surname is Lu." ”
Seeing that the five people looked submissive, Lu Li withdrew the Vajra Demon Pestle, and the five of them retreated to the side in fear.
"Mr. Lu......"
Seeing that Lu Li looked like a talented person and was knowledgeable, like a gentleman who was very good at teaching, the old man mustered up the courage and shouted.
"Let me ask you, how did you die? Why don't you stay here if you don't go to the underworld for reincarnation when you die? ”
Lu Li didn't care what they were called, Mr. Lu sounded much more pleasant than adults.
"We all died of illness, no one took us, so we couldn't go to the underworld, and our families died, no one overtook it, so we could only wander away from here and pick up some wild food on the roadside during the New Year's holidays, Mr. Lu, we really didn't hurt anyone."
"That's ......"
Lu Li frowned slightly, it seems that they need to be overtaken by them, even if they don't harm others, it's not appropriate to stay here all the time, the ghost is filthy, and it can still affect the surrounding people to a greater or lesser extent.
"So you're willing to go to the underworld?"
"This ......"
Seeing the old man's hesitation, Lu Li gave him a strange look, which made the old man tremble: "Mr. Lu, it's not that we don't want to go to the underworld, it's just that we ......"
"Say whatever you want!"
"Yes, Mr. Lu, the old man's surname is Xue, everyone here called me Xue Lao Han when he was alive, this young man is called Xiaohu, and the other three are father and son, because he is sick and can't speak, I don't know their names."
Xue Laohan pointed at the three fathers and sons, and when the father saw Lu Li's eyes sweeping over, he quickly protected the two children under him.
"Several of us are sick and dead, and our bones were dug up a few days ago, so we can only hide here for the time being, and there are many people like us in this village, with our family and friends...... If Mr. is willing to overdo us, can he overtake our family together? ”
Lu Li can understand Xue Laohan's distress: "Then where are their ghosts?" ”
"Their bones are not buried here, please give me a little time, and I will look for them."
Back then, so many people died at once, and the corpse wilderness would not be too far from here, Xue Laohan understood this.
"How many people died here?"
"More than three hundred."
"How much?"
Lu Li asked in surprise, and the old man looked bitter: "More than 300 people died here back then, and they all had the same disease?" ”
"What disease?"
"Leprosy ......"
