Chapter 67: Unraveling the Doubts
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, roll all kinds of ~
After a hurried breakfast, Yang Damei told the patriarch that they were going to discuss how to catch ghosts, and told them not to bother, and then they locked themselves in the house that had scared them so much that they didn't dare to sleep last night.
Everyone found a place to sit, some in the Chase bunk, some on the small stools.
Only Zhu Wen lay on the Chase bunk, he sat and slept all night last night, and now he can finally lie down and stretch his body.
Sun Da helped the ghost move a stool, and then found a large stool to sit next to the ghost, and asked, "We are all looking for you, why did you come here?" Still locked up by the patriarch? ”
The ghost sighed, and replied with a sad and sad voice, "It's a long story."
"That's a long story short!"
The lying Vermilion snorted, and the ghost replied with a wry smile, "Okay then, I'll be brief."
Sun Da looked at the face of the ghost, who was confused by his wig and didn't know what he looked like, but now he finally saw it.
A somewhat dark face, small eyes, thin eyebrows, but the lips appear a little large, the lips are very thin, and at first glance it is a person who likes to talk.
They weren't that interested in what the Ghost was really like, and the only thing they were interested in was why the Ghost was locked up by the patriarch.
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, the ghost said, "I went to chase the white cat that night, and then I was trapped in the bamboo forest, and I don't know how I was locked up. I was locked up for two or three days, blindfolded every day, and I didn't know what they wanted to do, so I took my sword. ”
"The white cat is here."
Li Yixin pointed to the hat behind him and continued: "Now I will name it the demon demon, that is, it sues us that you are here, and then we will come here to find you."
The ghost didn't believe that this cat had such spirituality, so Gu Yan moved the bench to the ghost and said seriously: "This cat has spirituality, and it is really the one who guided us here."
"I didn't expect this beast to be human, it's good that I didn't kill it at the beginning, otherwise I'm the one who is killed now, it seems that I have to thank it well."
The ghost said sincerely, and then asked, "What did you just promise the patriarch?" He actually let me go. ”
"It's haunted."
Sun Da whispered to the ghost, pointed to the door and said, "There was a knock on the door last night, and the patriarch said that it was a little ghost, and we were all so scared that we didn't sleep after knocking for most of the night.
The patriarch wants you to catch the ghost before we are allowed to leave, and if we don't catch the ghost, we may never be able to leave. ”
Sun Da was scared, and there was an expectation of the ghost, and the ghost smiled and asked, "Who said I would catch ghosts?"
"I said it."
Yang Damei raised her hand to answer, and continued: "I saw you chasing those cats with a peachwood sword, and later Yixin also said that you also killed those cats with a peachwood sword."
Sister Yang said with some admiration, paused for about three seconds, and suddenly asked loudly: "You mean you don't know how to catch ghosts?"
The ghost nodded with a wry smile, and then Yang Damei asked again, "Then how did you kill those cats?"
"You all think I'm carrying a peachwood sword, but in fact, I've always carried a sword that can kill, and the scabbard is peachwood, because the old ghost made it to deceive people, and he asked me to pretend to catch ghosts to satisfy his curiosity."
Oniko explained, still puzzled when he saw them, so he explained in more detail.
"The old ghost is my master, that is, a ten-year-old boy, hey, he should be eleven years old when the time is calculated.
He was super rich and liked me, so he asked me to dress up like you see to make him happy. Later, I don't know what's going on, I'm in an ancient tomb, not the ancient tomb of Su Hongmo you see.
I met a small book in that ancient tomb that recorded Su Hongmo's incident, I couldn't understand it, so I took it back to the old ghost, originally to make him happy, and then when he was happy, I could take the money and leave.
Who would have thought that he would actually find someone to translate the words in that book, and then he became interested in Su Hongmo. He said that he wanted me to arrest Su Hongmo, and if I didn't catch Su Hongmo, I wouldn't have a dime, there was a person called a ghost in that book, so he called himself an old ghost, and called me a ghost, and asked me to pretend to be a descendant of a ghost.
Actually, I just turned over from Maoling Mountain, and it's so scary there, so I advise you not to go. ”
"What kind of mess?"
Zhu Wen frowned, suddenly sat up and complained and lay down again, the bed with a quilt was still comfortable. The ancient sayings didn't understand what the ghost said, so they were naturally confused.
The ghost said helplessly: "My language skills are not strong, so let's just say it simply."
First, I don't hunt ghosts;
Second, I climbed from Maoling Mountain, Maoling Mountain is really not a place for people to stay, it's too scary;
Third, I'm actually a charlatan.
Hey, I didn't lie to you! I just wanted to cheat the old ghost out of his money, and I was scared by him many times, but I didn't get a dime. ”
"Then I don't understand, what's the matter with that needle? It's the needle you shoot on the shoulder. ”
Sister Yang asked, and Zhu Wen sat up as soon as she heard the "whoosh" sound and said, "That's it, I haven't been able to figure it out." Anyway, I don't think you're a worldly master, but like a charlatan, so my guess was right."
Zhu Wen smiled smugly after saying "haha", and then fell back to the bed.
"I was originally a charlatan, but I didn't lie to you, I have always treated you as friends. Now that you have saved me again, I will tell you everything I know. ”
The ghost man hurriedly explained, still afraid that the old saying would treat him as a liar.
If they left him alone, he would have to die here, and he would never have the courage to climb out of Maoling Mountain, the things inside were too terrifying.
He escaped from Maoling Mountain, and quietly passed through this village to meet Gu Yan them, he thought he saw hope, but in order to chase the white cat was trapped in the bamboo forest, and then inexplicably tied up by the patriarch, blindfolded and locked in a black room.
If he hadn't met Gu Yan and them again, maybe he would have been chopped into meat sauce to make dumplings or make soup by the inhuman patriarch.
The unfortunate deeds of the ghost are simply impossible to talk about for three days and three nights
"I've always treated you like a friend, and I don't think you're a liar."
As the old saying goes, the ghost is so moved that he can't speak.
Having said that, the ancient saying has no score in my heart, and now is the time to employ people, and the power of more people is greater.
Besides, the ghost said that he came to Maoling Mountain, and it was better to have a familiar person to lead the way than for them to go in the dark.
Gu Yan suddenly raised his head when he thought of this, and asked, "Then have you seen a couple from Maoling Mountain, that is, a middle-aged couple?"
Gu Yan was scared and expectant.
The ghost shook his head lightly and replied, "I didn't see anything, but I saw a lot of cats." It's so much, it's scary. ”
Ghost's teeth were trembling after he finished speaking.
"You haven't told me what the needle is all about!" Zhu Wen sat up again and asked, staring straight at the ghost without even blinking.
The ghost child replied with trembling lips, "It's magic, you should know about magic." It's that my hands are faster, I'm a magician, and I use those little tricks of magic to coax old ghosts."
Zhu Wen originally wanted to ask him how he guessed how he liked Li Yixin's mind, but when he saw so many people, he didn't ask, thinking that there would be opportunities in the future, and then he remained silent.
Gu Yan was sad in his heart, the ghost ghost didn't see his parents when he came from Maoling Mountain, so where did they go?
Gu Yan's sad eyes were raised just in time to see that Yang Damei was also looking at him, and she had the same sadness in her heart as him, and at this moment, she was speechless.
Everyone was silent, not knowing what to do in the future.
After a while, Li Yixin, who had been silent, walked to the ghost's side, puzzled, and asked, "Brother Gu Yan and I went to look for you that night, and we were also blocked by a bamboo forest.
We finally used a bronze mirror to look at the bamboo forest, and we saw a very beautiful color, more transparent and beautiful than jade, can you tell me why? ”
Li Yixin remembered the beautiful colors he saw that night and yearned for it infinitely, and after looking up at Li Yixin for a while, he made sure that she was not lying, and replied sincerely: "I don't know, I didn't split it with my sword when I was trapped in the bamboo forest."
Li Yixin squatted down and said: "We have also dug with a small hoe and cut it with a firewood knife, but the bamboo is not scarred at all, why is there such a beautiful color?"
Li Yixin seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be a ghost, and the ghost shook his head and replied: "I don't know about this, and there is no way to explain many phenomena with scientific explanations."
Li Yixin stood up in disappointment, and then walked to the Chase shop to sit, Zhu Wen saw Li Yixin sitting and he approached her again, but he didn't know what to say.
He could see that Li Yixin liked that kind of color very much, even to the point of obsession.
He had never seen Li Yixin have anything more obsessed with than liking ancient sayings, and he had no way to explain such a phenomenon, so he was annoyed.
"And what's the matter with your sword? Didn't I see that it was a peachwood sword, why is it white again? ”
Sun Da asked again, he originally regarded the ghost as an idol, but when he heard the ghost himself admit that he was a charlatan, he didn't mention how sad and disappointed he was.
It's like a dream that I have worked so hard to weave, and I have been taking care of it all my life, and suddenly one day the person in the dream suddenly woke up and brutally broke my dream.
The person I have always admired turned out to be not a master of the world, but a charlatan!
"That's what my sword looks like, as I said, the old ghost asked me to deceive people.
I don't know what he made that sword from, that little kid thinks of inexplicable things to torture me all day long, who made his family rich! Alas"
The ghost ghost was sad again, and Sister Yang was even more puzzled when she heard the ghost answer like this.
Gu Yan, who had been silent, suddenly asked: "Then you broke the peach wood scabbard, yes?"
The ancient saying has never forgotten that the ghost ghost broke the scabbard and put the broken scabbard on the bronze mirror, so that the bronze mirror and the scabbard became one.
"The old ghost said that this scabbard is spiritual, and that strange things will happen when this scabbard encounters something spiritual.
I didn't believe it until I saw you using a bronze mirror to collect cat carcasses. The mahogany scabbard that I used to kill the cat pulled me towards you, and finally I wanted to try it, and I had bronze mirrors for both of you.
Then the scabbard was broken, and where did you think that the scabbard would really merge with your bronze mirror? I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I've never figured it out. ”
"Then why does our bronze mirror collect the cat's corpse?"
