Chapter 32: The True Purpose of the Lantern Ghost
In order to confirm that the lantern ghost that the three-tailed fox said is real.
Chen Beibei decided to continue going to the grove tonight......
"Three-tailed fox, is there really no other way for lantern ghosts to hurt people?"
This is the third time Chen Beibei has asked this question.
"Master, don't worry, it'll be fine. I'm still a youkai. ”
The three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei and comforted him again.
In the face of this kind of thing, Chen Beibei, as an ordinary human being, is still a little empty.
Night soon fell, and darkness shrouded Sanquan Village. made Chen Beibei feel a little nervous.
Because Chen Beibei now feels that at night, there will be a lot of things that he doesn't know and hide in the dark.
"Master, you go ahead. That kind of little ghost, if he sees me, probably won't come out. ”
The three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.
In Chen Beibei's system, there is detailed information about the three-tailed fox.
It doesn't say that the three-tailed fox can defeat the lantern ghost.
"Are you really okay......"
Before Chen Beibei's words were finished, the three-tailed fox turned into a fiery red fox and quickly disappeared into the woods.
At this time, Chen Beibei was already in the middle of the woods, so no matter whether he walked forward or backward, the probability of encountering a lantern ghost was the same.
Because in Chen Beibei's view, the lantern ghost appears randomly.
Chen Beibei had no choice but to move forward, at least so that he could appear braver......
The woods at night are still quiet.
The sound of animals in the woods stepping on dead leaves can be heard.
Chen Beibei looked around, but did not see the three-tailed fox.
It seems that the three-tailed fox has gone into hiding.
I don't think I'm going to sell myself, right?
……
Suddenly, in mid-air, the two small yellow flames appeared.
Because this time there is a three-tailed fox, and the three-tailed fox has already said that the lantern ghost only has that one way to hurt people.
Therefore, as long as Chen Beibei stood still, there was no way for the lantern ghost to hurt him.
Chen Beibei looked at the lantern ghost, his red body, like a lantern.
Two yellow flames, right at the point of its eyes.
The lantern ghost is in the air, floating silently.
The scene around Chen Beibei has begun to slowly change.
Obviously, at this time, if Chen Beibei wants to go somewhere.
Then he will definitely go the wrong way and end up where the lantern ghost wants him to go.
After all, all these illusions around are all created by the lantern ghosts.
"Lantern ghost, can you hear me?"
Chen Beibei looked at the lantern ghost and asked it.
Since the lantern ghost hadn't hurt Chen Beibei for so long, Chen Beibei's fear of it slowly disappeared.
"Huh, human, how do you know my name?"
The lantern ghost spoke, a man's voice, a hint hoarse.
"I told him."
A fox came out of the bushes.
"Huh, you're a demon?"
The lantern ghost floated in the air and looked his eyes at the three-tailed fox.
"Well, my name is Three-Tailed Fox."
The three-tailed fox replied.
"Phew, how can a demon be with a human? Could he be ......?"
"Yes, he is the Onmyoji."
The three-tailed fox's words made the lantern ghost stop swinging his body.
Lantern ghost, it seems that he is thinking about something at this time.
"Huh, Onmyoji-sama, can you make me your Shikigami?"
The lantern ghost said suddenly.
This is what Chen Beibei didn't expect, after all, Chen Beibei just planned to take a look at what the lantern ghost was like.
"Three-tailed fox, can the lantern ghost also accept it?"
"Well, take it. Maybe it will be useful in the future. ”
At this time, Chen Beibei still didn't dare to accept this lantern ghost.
Because Chen Beibei suspected that his uncle was killed by the lantern ghost.
"Lantern ghost, I ask you a question, you must tell the truth."
"Whew, Onmyoji-sama, you ask."
"Have you ever killed someone?"
Chen Beibei directly asked the doubts in his heart, after all, his uncle fell into a dry well and died.
Moreover, this lantern ghost had taken Chen Beibei to the dry well before.
Therefore, in Chen Beibei's opinion, the suspicion of this lantern ghost is very big.
"Huh, I haven't killed anyone, I'm a little ghost, it's too late to hide from humans, why would I hurt people?"
The lantern ghost looked at Chen Beibei and explained to him.
"Master, these ordinary imps are very afraid of humans, after all, there are some people in the human race who are proficient in talisman spells. They can easily kill such imps, so goblins usually choose to hide from humans. ”
There is no need for the lantern ghost of the three-tailed fox to kill others, after all, it will not do any good to the lantern ghost.
"Since you said that you didn't kill anyone, then what did you take me to that dry well last night?"
Chen Beibei was still suspicious of the lantern ghost.
"Phew, that dry well was originally covered, but then the manhole cover was stolen. The other day I saw a man fall into a dry well and die. So I want you to go and cover the manhole so that no one continues to fall in. ”
The lantern ghost looked at Chen Beibei and continued to explain.
"Huh, Master Onmyoji, think about it, if I wanted to harm you that day, then I would just let you go into the dry well."
The lantern ghost added a little more.
Chen Beibei seemed to hear his uncle call himself last night, and he came out of the illusion created by the lantern ghost.
"Lantern ghost, are you still trying to lie to me? Last night, it was my uncle who saved me. ”
Chen Beibei looked at the lantern ghost and said to it.
Chen Beibei doesn't have the ability that an onmyoji should have now, so he still has to be cautious when it comes to collecting gods.
Because,If you receive that kind of life-threatening Shikigami,Maybe it will cause a lot of trouble for yourself and the three-tailed fox.。
"Huh, Master Onmyoji, is your uncle the one who fell into a dry well and died? His ghost had already followed the black and white envoys to the Yellow Springs. The voice that day was just a cry that I imitated. ”
The lantern ghost said so much, and the explanation was clear every time.
This made Chen Beibei start to believe in it a little.
"Master, although it is a ghost, ghosts and humans have always coexisted peacefully. So, please believe it. ”
The three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei and said seriously.
Ghosts and humans have always coexisted peacefully?
This made Chen Beibei a little puzzled, after all, in the stories and legends of mankind.
Ghosts have always been a terrifying existence.
"Three-tailed fox, you say that ghosts and humans have always coexisted peacefully?"
"Well, master, think about it, have you lived for so many years, have you ever seen ghosts harm people?"
Chen Beibei thought about it and saw ......
The kappa killed Aunt Haruki......
However, it seems that there is more to the death of human beings.
