Chapter 20: Little Imps

It's just a vignette, but it adds a lot of fun to the otherwise oppressive atmosphere.

After laughing, the master straightened his face and said, "Okay, okay." Now there's a piece of information here, and it's been determined what it is! ”

After Master said this, I quickly adjusted myself so that I could not think about the name as much as possible.

The master looked around, and after seeing that everyone was in a correct posture, he patted Zhu Qinshou on the shoulder and motioned for him to come.

Zhu Qinshou's originally wry smile looked at the file bag in his hand, a thick sadness appeared on his face, and said: "The first investigators have already investigated the situation clearly. And this is the information I got back at the expense of the lives of two investigators! ”

When everyone present heard the news, they all lowered their heads. They all knew in their hearts that the information obtained from the lives of the two investigators showed that the things they had to face in this matter were extraordinary.

At the same time, they are also paying silent tribute to those who have lost their lives.

Zhu Qinshou continued: "According to the description of the intelligence, it has been determined that we are facing a half-adult ghost. ”

As soon as Zhu Qinshou said this, even though everyone was mentally prepared, it still made the people present gasp.

What is a Imp? Maybe many people don't have a specific concept. It is thought that the imp is the soul of a baby who died before it was born or was born.

Actually, no, it's called a baby spirit. And the little ghost, related to the infant spirit, are two completely different concepts.

Ordinary Taoist priests, when encountering infant spirits, it is no exaggeration to say that there are thousands of ways to subdue them. But when encountering a ghost, most Taoist priests choose to find a way to escape. Because imps have no weaknesses!

The only one who can destroy the imp is the legendary power!

Before talking about what an imp is, let me talk about the origin of a ghost and how to make it.

Yes, imps can only be artificially made!

In fact, Taoism does not have a way to make a ghost, the original ghost is actually a baby spirit, but that is only used by the head descending master of Nanyang as a material for descending the head, and the head reduction made is called ghost descending.

Later, there were some unscrupulous head lowerers who found that the resentment of such a thing as infant spirit was the most difficult, and they were not afraid of being scattered at all. So those head descenders began to study infant spirits, until they invented the imp!

And the little ghost, because the production method is too vicious, and its mature little ghost is brutal and difficult to eliminate, so it is listed as one of the forbidden methods by the Nanyang Head Descending Division.

How vicious is the production method?

The first is to gather together the 100 infant spirits who died as a result of abortion, nourish them daily with the blood of the mothers of the 100 infant spirits, and not let these 100 mothers die in the middle, and torture these mothers in every way, making them fearful, afraid, and hopeless, until they become resentful. Then use the blood of the resentment of these 100 mothers to nourish these 100 infant spirits every day, and after forty-nine days, in front of each infant spirit, end their mother's life.

When all these 100 infant spirits have become resentful spirits, they will use secret methods to control these resentful spirits to devour each other until there is only one left.

The remaining one became the prototype of the imp.

I won't go into the details of the rest of the methods. But just by looking at the first step, you already know how cruel the way the imp was refined!

And this time we are facing a half-adult imp, that is, this imp has not carried out the last step of refining.

But just a half-adult ghost is enough to make many Taoist priests or Buddhist disciples fearful.

Because the characteristic of the imp is that he has the intelligence of a human being! And it is extremely cunning, and the soul power is also extremely powerful, without the slightest emotion, and there is no feeling of pain, and the eyes are all black, which means that there is already endless resentment, and it is impossible to be tempered or exceeded!

In the face of such an opponent who cannot be exceeded, cannot be measured, and cannot be beaten, the vast majority of Taoist priests and Buddhist disciples can only choose to protect themselves, and then find a way to escape.

This is also the reason why everyone present gasped when they heard Zhu Qinshou say that he was a half-adult ghost!

And I may not be in my right mind, and when others are still lamenting the difficulty of this trip, I think of something. So I pulled Master's clothes and asked, "Master, who made this little ghost?" ”

As for how I knew about the little ghost, it was because when Zhu Qinshou announced the information, the master whispered something in my ear quickly.

But when I asked this, what I didn't expect was that the master touched my head very happily, and then stopped talking.

I don't know what this crazy old man is happy about!

The master stood up, took Zhu Qinshou's words, and said, "The half-adult ghost has weaknesses!" But this time, there is no need for everyone to go into the village to deal with this matter. I only need four people to enter the village, and the rest stay here, and I must be able to contact the outside world at any time! ”

Then, the master ordered three people to come out in a row, one was thin and one was fat, and the other was Zhu Qinshou.

There was one place left, and Master touched my head and asked, "Zhengyi, are you afraid?" ”

To be honest, I wasn't really scared, but the crazy old man's tone suddenly became very gentle, which gave me goosebumps.

"Don't be afraid!"

"Well done! Then you can follow me into the village. Master gave me a thumbs up as he spoke.

What's going on today? Usually this crazy old man is very stingy, but today he praised me twice!

But seriously, I suddenly had a sense of pride, and I was even holding my back straight.

It's just that as soon as Master's words came out, everyone began to scramble to oppose them.

"Master Chen, he's just a kid! I'll go! Anyway, I have some skills......"

"Master Chen, aren't you letting your child die? I'll go! ”

"I'll go! Let the child stay! ”

"I'll go! Master Chan ......"

I saw these uncles and brothers, who were many years older than me, rushing to the Master and begging Him to keep me here. The corners of my eyes instantly became wet with tears.

I understand that they are afraid that I will die, after all, the little ghost does not have the slightest emotion! And they were still very afraid of the little ghost, but when they heard that my master gave me the last place, they tacitly put aside their fear and wanted to face the little ghost instead of me.

The master waved his hand, and everyone stopped talking, and then the master said, "Zhang Zhengyi is my apprentice, although he has just started this morning, and I haven't had time to teach him the technique. But is it the hardest thing to do to solve imps? ”

Master's eyes swept over the people present, and just when everyone didn't know how to answer, he continued, "I already have a way to solve the little ghost!" The hardest part is to find the imps! Who among you can be completely sure that you will be able to find the imp? My apprentice is born with strong spiritual sense and soul power, and he can find out where the imp is hiding 100%! That's why I'm going to take him into the village! ”

After Master's words, not only did the people present understand Master's intentions, but even I understood why Master had to let me participate in this matter.

Because the little ghost is an incorporeal soul after all, the Taoist priest can easily find the hidden soul for this kind of disembodied existence if he put it in the past, with the help of the soul search talisman. But in modern times, the soul search charm has been lost, and if you want to find the hidden soul, you can only open your eyes.

But once we open our eyes, not only can we discover where the imp is, but the imp can also sense our presence, and if he chooses to run away, what will happen? And you may not be able to know the exact point when you open your eyes, the existence of the little ghost is already dominated by endless grievances, and these grievances will also disturb the aura within a certain range, and you can't really see it when you open your eyes!

That's why Master wants to take me, because my spiritual sense is so strong that even if I don't open my eyes, as long as I reach a certain range, I can feel where the little ghost is!

"But Master Chen, Zhengyi is a child after all!"

"Yes, Master Chen......"

"Master Chen, my spiritual sense is still good, otherwise I'll go......"

Although these uncles and elder brothers heard Master's explanation, they still couldn't bear to watch me go to my death. Because once I find the imp and fight the imp, I have no ability to protect myself at all!

The master frowned impatiently and shouted, "Zhengyi is my apprentice!" Will I send him to his death? Are you two fools? Can't figure this out? ”

After Master finished yelling, the room suddenly fell silent. People think, well, that's the truth! So they all dispersed, meditating for those who should meditate, and reading for those who should read.

As I gazed at these people dumbfounded, Master took me by the hand, took me outside, and then took something out of his pocket and gave it to me.

When I saw it, it was a dragon-shaped jade ring strung with red rope. I can't put it down with that quaint style, and I keep playing with it in my hand.

"Stop playing, hang around your neck, this thing can be regarded as returning to its original owner." Master said.

"Oh." I don't understand what the crazy old man meant when he said that things should be returned to their original owners, but when I heard that the crazy old man was going to give me this thing, I was naturally very happy.

I obediently hung the jade ring around my neck, and then asked, "Master, the little ghost is so difficult to deal with, why don't you let everyone go?" ”

At this time, Zhu Qinshou walked out and said, "That's because your master thinks that someone is laying it out, and some people have to be left to deal with it." ”

He walked up to the master and said to the master, "Master Chen, the hour is almost up, it's time to enter the village." ”

Master nodded, called out the two people, one fat and one thin, plus Zhu Qinshou and me, and the five of us walked towards the interior of the village......
