Chapter 53: Feeding Ghosts with Bodies

The exorcist in Xiangxi must have some handle in the hands of the white-bearded old ghost, otherwise, even if the dignified exorcist died, it would be impossible for him to obey him.

So they stopped me from chasing and killing the old ghost with the white beard, and I didn't blame them, the big deal was to arrest the old ghost with the white beard and hang him, and everyone just had to figure things out.

The dignified exorcist was instructed by a powerful ghost, is it a shame to spread it out?

But the old man of the Tujia family and the girl of the Miao family didn't listen to my advice at all, but just blocked me left and right, and didn't allow me to go over. Seeing that the white-bearded old ghost was about to run down the old grave mountain, the anger in my heart gradually rose.

I said, "Both! Although this is the boundary of Xiangxi, do you really think that I dare not hurt people? If this matter is reported to the Special Crime Department, you two will also go to the Ghost Prison if you say it! ”

The old man of the Tujia family said: "Little brother of the Zhang family, are you willing to listen to the little old man tell a story, if you want to hunt down the white-bearded old ghost after listening to it, the girl of the Miao family and I will definitely not stop it!" ”

When I saw the pity he said, my heart softened. Thinking that the printed funeral clothes were also put away by Zhou Da's neck, the lonely ghosts also fled in embarrassment, and their hands paused slightly.

It's a big deal to spend a little more time in the future, and it's enough to catch the white-bearded old ghost.

So I stopped and said, "Old man, if your story does not satisfy me, I will not let you do it with you!" ”

The old man of the Tujia family nodded: "Don't worry, if there is no hidden secret, the little old man will not offend Mr. so much." There's a reason why we're holding you back from chasing down the old ghost with Whitebeard. ”

Speaking of this reason, we must start with the white-bearded old ghost.

But it is said that this white-bearded old ghost died in 1900, which is the era of chaos in the world.

This white-bearded old ghost was originally a local Mr. Yin and Yang, although his ability is not big, but he is old-fashioned and warm-hearted, eager for justice and righteousness. In addition to the folk soil method of exorcism and evil spirits, he is also a good foot doctor.

Usually, when he collects medicine in the mountains, he has to go to the people in the village to see, and if there are sick elderly people and children, he will not hesitate to lend a hand. He doesn't want money, he just needs a bowl of rice from the host's family.

I heard it faintly strange, not to mention that this kind of person is in modern times, even at that time, he was a saint-like existence. How did he end up with such a sinister and vicious white-bearded old ghost?

It's okay that the old man of the Tujia family didn't say anything, but as soon as he continued, I was full of interest in the white-bearded old ghost, and I listened to it right now to see what was going on.

At that time, the world was in turmoil, the Qing government was crumbling, and there were civil uprisings and foreign invasions everywhere. Therefore, there are many demons in the world.

At that time, on the old tomb mountain, because of the disorder of the leylines, the national movement was turbulent, and a very powerful man-eating ghost appeared.

How fierce is this man-eating beast? Basically, two or three live people were eaten every night. This fierce ghost eats people is also very interesting, first eating people's yang energy, and when the yang energy is eaten, it will inject a special kind of yin energy into the body of the deceased.

This breath will rot the internal organs of the person and turn them into a pulp. And the fierce ghost will suck the mushy juice out of the human body mouth after mouth, and finally only an empty human skin remains.

This fierce ghost is a scourge in all directions, and it is really difficult. At that time, there was no special case department, and some capable exorcists were tired of running for their lives, suppressing souls everywhere, and they couldn't take care of this man-eating ghost.

So the white-bearded old ghost volunteered and contacted several local exorcists to take in this man-eating ghost. If he continues to eat like this, sooner or later the inhabitants of the mountains will be eaten by it.

It is worth mentioning that those exorcists are the patriarch of the Tujia family, the cave girl in Miao Village, the old man Fang of Xiangxi Demon Exterminator, and the old man of the smoke pot in Hefeng County.

These four people, plus the white-bearded old ghost, are actually five exorcists.

Don't look at the fact that there are only five exorcists, but everyone is still a little self-aware of their own abilities. At that time, the patriarch of the Tujia family said that that man-eating ghost was not trivial, and we couldn't deal with it. Mr. Bai, I know you have a good heart, but sometimes you have to do what you can.

Except for the white-bearded old ghost, everyone disagreed to clean up the man-eating ghost. First, everyone is indeed not strong in means, and secondly, there is really no good way.

But the white-bearded old ghost said that the man-eating ghost is a disaster for the villagers, and since my generation of exorcists is a pioneer, this kind of thing must be obliged. I have a plan, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not.

Everyone admired the white-bearded old ghost's open-mindedness, so they said that if the white-bearded old ghost had a good way, everyone would be willing to try it.

So the white-bearded old ghost said his idea, but this idea also shocked everyone and surprised.

The white-bearded old ghost said that the man-eating ghost is not taboo, suitable for all ages. If we fight hard, we will definitely be wiped out and become someone's meal.

But if there is a kind person, he uses special means to stimulate his conscience and good thoughts, and then voluntarily feeds the ghost with his body. If that man-eating ghost eats this kind person, he will definitely change his personality by hidden means, and he will no longer eat people from now on.

Even if you still have to do evil, but if you have a conscience, you can be eaten by a few fewer people if you think about it.

This method is actually very poor and not very safe. Even if that fierce ghost really ate a good person, the methods they secretly left behind may not be able to make the man-eating fierce ghost change his mind about cannibalism.

What's more, where to find a kind person?

So at the beginning, everyone shook their heads and disagreed.

But the white-bearded old ghost said, "Do you think I'm a good person?"

Don't look at the white-bearded old ghost who is now insidious and cunning, despicable and shameless. But at that time, he was really a good person, and it is not an exaggeration to be called a reincarnated Buddha.

As long as it is someone who understands him, who doesn't give a thumbs up and say a good person?

When everyone heard the white-bearded old ghost say this, they all looked at each other, this guy, could it be that he wants to be the kind person who feeds the ghost?

The white-bearded old ghost smiled bitterly and said, "You guessed right. Since I came up with the idea, I naturally had to do it myself. I am a good-hearted person, and I am familiar with the means of stimulating my conscience and good thoughts, and I am duty-bound to do so. But I can't do it alone, so that's why I want everyone to help me. ”

The cave girl of the Miao family was very moved and said, Boss Bai, you don't have to die. That man-eating ghost is powerful, but it can't eat us. It's been such a chaotic year, how many people won't die one day? Can you do it?

The white-bearded old ghost said, of course he can do it. I am an exorcist, and my natural job is to help the helpless and poor.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh when they saw that the white-bearded old ghost had made up his mind. Some people say, what do you want us to do for you?

The white-bearded old ghost said, if I feed ghosts with my body, my soul will be entangled with fierce ghosts, you have me, I have you. I no longer have any attachments to this life, but I look forward to a future life.

I only ask for one thing, if the man-eating beast will no longer eat people from now on, everyone will do one thing for me, whether it is you or your descendants, you need to remember this matter.

Of course, if my method is still useless, you can ask a more powerful exorcist to suppress me and the fierce ghost. When the time comes, even if the soul is gone, there will be no complaints!

A dying man, and an exorcist dying for a group of people he doesn't know, is really a small requirement.

If the white-bearded old ghost's plan succeeds, it will naturally be peaceful in the world, and if it fails, it will be a big deal to delay it for a while, and after the corpse chaser or the people of the corpse Zhong family will come, it will not be too late to clean up this fierce ghost.

So everyone swore and agreed to the request of the white-bearded old ghost.

The white-bearded old ghost knows that these exorcists, once they swear by their souls, whether it is themselves or their descendants, they will keep their original promises. So he had no distractions in his heart, and used special means to stimulate the good thoughts and conscience in his heart, and ran alone to the old tomb mountain in the middle of the night.

Then, of course, the old ghost with the white beard was swallowed by the man-eating ghost.

Of course, his ploy worked. The fierce ghost who ate the white-bearded old ghost has changed his temperament since then, as if he was suffering from schizophrenia.

Anyway, during that time, the few exorcists who stayed nearby heard the miserable cries of fierce ghosts coming from the old tomb mountain every day, but for several months, there was no ghost cannibalism.

So everyone knows that the old ghost with the white beard actually succeeded in his plan.

Later, several exorcists teamed up to investigate on the old tomb mountain, and found that the fierce ghost was gone, but there was a powerful ghost with a white beard and an appearance exactly like him.

Although that powerful ghost has all the skills, after seeing the exorcist, he will turn around and run.

They all say that this ghost is actually a combination of a white-bearded old ghost and a fierce ghost. Although the term union is not appropriate, the union of the soul is not the same as the body.

Soul devouring is common, and it's not uncommon for an old whitebeard ghost and a fierce ghost to merge into one.

In fact, the exorcists were very embarrassed, on the one hand, they were surprised that this method really worked. On the other hand, I also feel sorry for him. Anyway, this fierce ghost doesn't eat people anymore, and everyone is grateful for the contribution made by the white-bearded old ghost, so they just turn a blind eye and don't care.

It's just that according to the original agreement, they want their descendants, and they will help him once in the future no matter what, even if they die, they have to do it.

Speaking of which, everyone should understand that the white-bearded old ghost is actually the kind exorcist at the beginning. It's just that he used this extreme method to turn himself into a sinister and cunning guy on the old tomb mountain in order for everyone to stop being eaten by powerful ghosts.

In the past 100 years, he has always been in a daze, and it is only in recent years that he remembers many things. Among them is the promise of the ancestors of these exorcists.

The old ghost with the white beard had now changed his temperament and had become sinister and cunning, and in the way he thought about it, he thought it would be difficult for him to make them fulfill their promises.

That's why he threatened the descendants of these exorcists with the lives of ordinary people.

On the one hand, these descendants are hindered by the promises made back then, and on the other hand, they are really afraid that the white-bearded old ghost will go crazy.

That's why everyone had to do their best to help him.

Even if the crazy old man was beaten to death by flying all over the sky, he didn't complain at all.

This is also the main reason why the old man of the Tujia family and the girl of the Miao family would rather turn their faces against me and stop me from chasing and killing the old man with the white beard.
