I asked him, "What's the deal with ghost fighting?" ”

He explained to me that their Li people believe in ghosts and gods the most, and they usually don't talk about being sick and suffering from disasters, even if they have a nightmare, they need to ask "Daogong" and "Mother" to do it, and dance the ghost dance to drive away evil spirits and catch ghosts.

They hunt ghosts very solemnly, need to set up altars, sacrifice livestock, "Dao Gong" holds an iron arrow in his left hand, a knife or red vine leaf in his right hand, in the sound of gongs and drums, while chanting mantras while performing ghost-catching, ghost-hunting, summoning spirits and other actions, driving away ghosts, asking the gods to eliminate disasters.

The old man smiled and said that these gods usually pretend to be ghosts, where do they know how to catch ghosts, this is good, there is really a evil ghost, I want to go over and see how he catches it?

Look at the old man's attitude, it is purely to see the excitement, I and Ye Siming are idle, I am curious, and I will not mix it at other times, after all, my physique is also special.

But now that Ye Siming is by my side, I have nothing to worry about, and Ye Siming has no objection.

The two of us simply followed.

When I got there, I found that the house had already exploded, and a man drenched in water was moving his feet over there to catch people, and it was the water ghost I saw.

Someone next to him lit firecrackers and threw them at his feet, the firecrackers crackled and rattled, and someone threw filth from the toilet bowl at his head, but it was useless.

The monster still leaned forward and walked forward, and for a while the chickens flew and the dogs jumped, and the children cried, not to mention how lively it was.

The old man was squatting on the ground with his stomach clutched in a smile.

When I was a child, I heard adults say that there are water monkeys in the river, and the water monkeys in Xiangxi are actually water ghosts, and there used to be a big reservoir behind the next village.

The daughter-in-law of Li Laogang'er in that village went to wash clothes on the rocks next to the reservoir, but she slipped and fell into the reservoir and drowned.

Since then, strange things have often happened in the reservoir.

When some villagers passed by the reservoir in the evening, they saw a person squatting on the stone opposite the reservoir, still beating clothes with a mallet, and the dress was instantly recognizable.

That is Li Laoguo's dead daughter-in-law.

Thinking about it, I felt that something was not quite right, and when I looked up, I saw that the water ghost was staring at me viciously, as if he had some deep hatred against me, and then jumped towards me.

I was watching the excitement at the time, but I didn't expect the water ghost to run straight towards me and startle me.

My face changed as soon as I saw it, and I pulled Ye Siming to ask him to help deal with it, but I reached to the side and found that it was empty, and Ye Siming was gone.

Didn't you just come with me?

Why is it gone?

"Ye Siming!?"

I shouted softly, but there was no response, and I don't know why, but then I smelled a sense of crisis.

At this time, I looked up, but I didn't expect that the water ghost seemed to identify me, and he followed me wherever I ran.

Fortunately, as the old man said before, he had an iron shackle tied between his feet, and he could only walk on tiptoe, looking like a drunk, staggering, and unable to walk fast, otherwise I would have been caught by him.

I simply started a guerrilla fight with the water ghost, circled the village with it, tossed for a long time, I was tired and panting, but the water ghost did not seem half tired, still maintained the original speed to catch up with me.

"Something's coming." At this moment, Ye Siming's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

I was stunned at the time, knowing that Ye Siming must have returned to Futu Jade, and asked, "What?" ”

"Herald of Hades." Ye Siming said lightly.
