Chapter 2: Nightmares
"Hehe, little stupid girl, you can't summon a ghost hair for 10,000 years!" Just as I was puzzled, a miserable banter voice sounded in my head, and I shuddered and almost sat on the ground.
"Who... Who's talking to me? I shuddered.
"Little stupid girl, bite your middle finger, use your pure yin blood with the spell to welcome the arrival of the deity!" The playful voice sounded again.
"Oops, how did I forget about this stubble. With only spells, no essence to open the gates of the underworld and communicate with ghosts, there is no way to complete the contract at all! ”
I slapped my forehead, snorted, and put my middle finger directly to my lips, and I shivered in pain when I bit it.
"The ghost passerby door, the yin and yang road opens, the netherworld borrows the law, swallows the sky and ghosts, and the edict!" As I chanted the incantation, my middle finger volleyed a mysterious blood-colored rune.
In the blink of an eye, a teenage gray-clothed imp immediately emerged from the whirlpool formed by the blood talisman, and his black eyes were full of greed.
"Go on, little ghost, swallow her for me!" I looked at this little ghost who was not much older than my age, and I couldn't help but be disappointed, isn't it a heaven-swallowing ghost, how can I summon a little ghost? I don't know if this little bit can beat that female ghost. However, I still ordered the little ghost to deal with Wang Feng, who was about to get out of trouble.
"Hmph, it's not big or small, in the future, I will call the deity His Royal Highness the Prince!" The gray-clad imp stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from my fingertips, but instead of carrying out my orders, he taught me a bullish lesson.
"You... You still call yourself a ghost? Cut! I glanced him up and down with disdain, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Hmph, presumptuous! Have you forgotten your grandmother's admonition and have you to bow down when you see the deity?! The little ghost crossed his hands on his hips, scolded angrily, and looked old-fashioned.
"It's you!" As soon as my mind turned, I remembered this little imp in gray, the same little imp I asked me to sign the deed of sale when I was three years old. But isn't that little ghost only seven or eight years old, how can he grow up a little more? No wonder I didn't recognize him for a moment.
"I won't admit that I sold myself to you, and when I go back, I will let my grandmother terminate the contract." I'm not a stubborn master, so I just pushed back.
"Bold, it seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you don't have a long memory!" The gray-clothed imp was furious when he heard my words, and immediately raised his hand fiercely.
Suddenly, my neck was grabbed by an invisible force, and my body involuntarily floated up. For a moment, the lack of oxygen in my brain made my eyes white, my tongue sticked out slightly, and Venus flashed in front of me.
"Hmph,, if it weren't for the fact that your pure yin blood is still of great use to the deity, ......, hmph, next time I say something disrespectful, I'll pull out your tongue!" The little imp flicked his arm and threw me out of the air.
"Ahem... Ahem... Bastard, even if you get my people, you won't get my heart, I won't give in! As soon as I fell to the ground, I put my hands around my neck, breathed heavily, and immediately cursed with my stubbornness.
Zhang Shi and Kong Chao's eyes widened over there, and they didn't understand why I was muttering at the air, and they were ashamed to say that they would kill Wang Feng's terrifying "thing", probably in their hearts they all thought that I had been scared silly.
The two of them were about to call for me to come over and help, but in the blink of an eye, they saw me flying in the air, and then they fell backwards and flew out, and they couldn't help but gasp.
I guess the gray imp didn't want to be in front of people, so the two of them couldn't see it at all, so they made that look.
The gray-clothed imp didn't pay attention to my swearing, and his figure rushed to the big case board in a flash of lightning, and the yin wind miserably grabbed Wang Feng, who had just escaped from the predicament!
Then, Wang Feng directly choked his neck, and the possessed female ghost in red was dragged out like a dead dog, and Wang Feng seemed to have his whole body withdrawn, and the whole person fell to the ground softly.
In my eyes, after the red-clothed ghost was pulled out, he continued to struggle in fear, but the gray-clothed ghost didn't intend to let her go at all, grabbed her hair, opened her bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, and gnawed it directly!
The red-clothed ghost screamed, half of his face was gnawed, and he immediately looked like he was about to die.
The terrible ghost howl and the terrifying chewing sound sounded in front of Zhang Shi and Kong Chao, and they both rolled their eyes and fainted in fright.
I don't know the hierarchical relationship between them, but when I saw that the gray-clothed imp was like an eagle catching a chicken, and he caught the red-clothed female ghost with a pull, I could guess how powerful the gray-clothed imp was.
But if you think about it, you can understand that the existence of grandma has to plead, how can it be an ordinary thing?
Eating and eating, the gray-clothed ghost ate most of the red-clothed ghost, and the red-clothed ghost couldn't even make a sound now, and stopped struggling.
"This ...... That's what ...... Raising ghosts...... Does the Tao drive the tiger and devour the wolf? "I completely forgot about my fear, and I watched the whole ghost-eating process as if I had entered a demonic barrier.
After the gray-clothed imp finished eating the red-clothed female ghost, he showed two rows of sharp teeth, smiled strangely at me, and disappeared in front of him as green smoke.
I was so dazed that I couldn't remember how I got home, and when I got home, I was planted on the bed.
In a daze, a faint gray mist slowly emerged in front of his eyes. Gradually, the gray fog covered the sky, nothing could be seen clearly, nothing could be heard, and there was nothing else in the field of vision except gray, and the emptiness made people panic.
I looked down at my feet and found myself defenseless, barefoot on the cold ground. I didn't know where it was, I didn't know why I was in this strange place, my mind was so confused that I forgot my name.
"Qing Nan, Qing Nan, I'm here......" Suddenly, a fluttering voice called out my name, which came into my ears through layers of gray mist.
"Who are you? Where are you? How do you know my name? I suddenly remembered that Qing Nan was my name, and then I reached out in a daze, trying to hold something in the air, but I only caught a piece of nothingness.
"Qing Nan, I'm here!" A hazy figure emerged from the fog.
With that voice, a fair, slender hand poked out of the gray mist. The fingers are slender and he also wears a bronze ring on his ring finger.
Then, a scarlet phoenix draped through the ring and fluttered over my petite body, transforming me from a bare ugly duckling into a noble swan in an instant.
It was only then that the white hand slowly drooped, caressing my long unkempt hair, and a familiar face gradually became clear in the gray mist.
I looked up and saw that the man was about twenty years old, at least one meter eight tall, and his slender figure was restrained by an inky satin robe, which was trimmed with silver openwork hibiscus. The jade belt tied around his waist and the mutton fat jade hairpin on his head complement each other.
The man's face was as clear as a carving, and for some reason he looked sickly pale, and his appearance seemed to be debauched, but the inadvertent light in his eyes made people dare not face it.
The moment his white palm touched the top of my head, an electric current flowed from the top of my head into my five internal organs and six spleens, and every cell seemed to be permeable, and my body was inexplicably filled with a mysterious airflow.
"Thank you big brother for the clothes, they are so beautiful! By the way, who is the big brother? It feels so familiar to me......" I waited until the man took off his palm, then gently stroked the dress on his body with his little hand, couldn't help but turn around in place, and then asked suspiciously.
"Little girl, I can't tell you the name of the deity for the time being, you have passed the test, and the Taoist system has been passed on to you, whether you are qualified to be the concubine of the deity depends on your future performance!" The man smiled mysteriously at me as he finished speaking.
Before I could ask any more, his body shattered like a piece of porcelain, and his dark green satin robe fell to the ground like snowflakes, revealing the hideous flesh inside.
In an instant, his limbs and head flew out of his torso, flesh peeling off, and every bone splitting apart......
"Ah......h
My body trembled, and a stream of heat flowed out of my lower body uncontrollably. In my fear, I felt as if I was holding something in my hand, and when I looked closely, it was a severed finger, and a blue-gray bronze ring was worn at the knuckle......
"Qing Nan, wake up! Oh, my little ancestor, I'm still wetting the bed when I'm so old, I'm not ashamed of you. ”
Grandma's voice seemed to come from outside the sky, and I suddenly felt a chill on my body, which woke me up completely.
"Oops!"
As soon as I opened my eyes, I was hit the head, and the pain made me instantly sleepy.
I sat up, touched my throbbing chest, and muttered glutinously, "Grandma, why are you beating me?" ”
"Qing Nan, you are seven years old and still wet the bed, do you know any shame?" Grandma pointed to my wet little Nene and then to a water stain on the bed, with a blaming look on her face.
When I looked down, my face turned red as soon as I brushed it, and I wanted to find a crack in the ground on the spot, and I was ashamed.
"Grandma, I had a nightmare, it was so terrible, so I didn't hold back and ......," I said, and my voice gradually became inaudible.
"Another nightmare? What did you dream about this time? Grandma's face became serious when she heard this.
I immediately told everything that happened last night, including the encounter with the female ghost in red, and the scene where I summoned the gray-clothed ghost to eat the female ghost, and dreamed of the man's body shattering.
Grandma was silent for a while before she said solemnly: "Good granddaughter, grandma clearly tells you that none of this is a dream. Last night, Wang Yun's girl died, she was bitten through the artery and bled to death, Wang Jing's son also died, his head was smashed, and the Wang family also called the police, and the police were already dealing with the matter. ”
"Ah, grandma, I wasn't dreaming last night, I really went to the embankment? Is everything really happening? I exclaimed.
"Alas, you wild girl, I've told you a few times, don't run around at night, let alone run to the embankment, and you just don't listen, this time it's a long memory." Grandma sighed, her tone full of blame.
"Grandma, that's... Who is that man? Why did he say it was my future husband? It must have been a dream. "I saw my grandmother getting angry and quickly diverted the topic.
"Well, that's not a dream either! If you don't believe it, look at the ring on your hand. Grandma hesitated for a moment and replied.
I hurriedly looked at my hands and saw that the bronze ring was on the ring finger of my left hand. I remember not wearing anything on my hand before, but is this the ring that the man was wearing on his left hand?
