Chapter 343: The Ghosts Are Missing
"That's my altar, don't ...... it"
The little girl was nervous when she saw me staring at her jar.
I sneered in my heart, saying that there must be something greasy in this jar. So, after thinking about it, my right hand gathered Taoist mana, and my palm reached into the altar. The top of the jar was a layer of ashes, but when my fingers reached inside, I came across something hard.
Without hesitation, my two fingers took out the hard piece of stuff.
When I saw that thing, I was surprised that it was a "ghost card". Generally speaking, the ghost card is a dark weapon, because there are ghosts living in it for a long time, and it will give birth to "ghost patterns", and then slowly turn into a dark weapon.
However, the ghost card in this little girl's ashes jar is formed by a piece of "yin jade", which is very unusual.
Seeing me holding her ghost card, the little girl burst into tears, crying, "Don't touch my things, it's mine... It was left to me by my parents. β
I snorted and said angrily, "Okay, stop crying! If you cry again, I'll destroy this ghost card. β
It worked. When I said this, the little girl became honest and stopped crying. But she stared at me with a resentful look in her eyes, and she looked angry.
It's just a ghost card, and I don't care that much.
I put the ghost card into the little girl's ashes jar and said to her, "Little sister, I'm going to ask you something now, and you can tell me honestly." If you don't tell me, I'll destroy not only your ghost card but also your urn. β
Although it is a bit inhumane to threaten a little girl like this. But after all, she has turned into a ghost, so she doesn't need to pay so much attention.
The little girl hurriedly replied, "Okay, well... Big brother, just ask, I'll tell you everything I know. β
It seems that she is still quite enlightened.
"I ask you, how long have you been here?"
The little girl replied, "I've been here for a long time, more than ten years. β
I then asked, "Since you've been here for so long, you must know something about this cemetery." Tell me, have any strange things happened in this cemetery in the last year? β
The reason why I asked this is based on the time when the Yin Yang Canon of the Spiritual Weapon was lost. I have been a Taoist priest of the Lushan Sect for more than half a year, and the time when the Yin Yang Dictionary of the Spiritual Weapon was lost was a little earlier. So the time limit should be about the same as within one year.
The little girl thought for a moment and said, "There are strange things, there are really strange things!" ... My sister Mu Qing is missing. β
"Sister Mu Qing? ... Who is she? β
The little girl said, "No, she's not a human, she's a ghost." The two of us have always been together, but a few months ago, my sister Mu Qing suddenly disappeared. I really miss her, I am so lonely without her with me. β
"The spirit puppet you just injured was given to me by my sister Mu Qing. Unexpectedly, it was ruined by you, a hateful Taoist priest. Whining... I can't even see my sister Muqing, but you destroyed what she gave me. β
Although this little girl has become a ghost, her temperament is still relatively naΓ―ve. Because a spirit puppet actually cries like this, there is no one.
"Alright, stop crying, cry again, I'll kill your ghost now. If your ghost is destroyed, it is impossible for you to find your sister Mu Qing. β
The little girl fell silent.
"Tell me what's going on, what kind of sister Mu Qing of yours is, how did she disappear?"
The little girl said, "Actually, I don't know how Sister Mu Qing disappeared. Normally, the two of us only stay in this room and rarely leave here. But one day, when I came out of the jar, I found that Sister Mu Qing was gone. β
"I couldn't sense her presence, so I went outside, but I couldn't find her at all. Also, I knew a lot of uncles and aunts in this cemetery, but they all disappeared overnight. I searched the entire cemetery, but I couldn't find Sister Mu Qing. β
"Those uncles and aunts have also disappeared."
I listened to the little girl's words and seemed to understand something, so I asked her, "Are you talking about uncles and aunts referring to the lonely ghosts in the cemetery?" β
The little girl nodded and said, "Yes, big brother, they are too... It's all ghosts. But I don't really know where they went. Later, I searched for a long time, but there was no sign of them. β
The little girl's words made me think.
Those ghosts, including this little girl's sister Mu Qing, will definitely not disappear for no reason. And even if you leave, you can't disappear overnight.
And this little girl and the female ghost named Mu Qing seem to have a very good relationship. If Mu Qing's ghost left the yang world to be reincarnated, then he would definitely be informed of this little girl. But it didn't.
Also, I thought about the grave keeper I met in the cemetery with Pumpkin not long ago.
The grave keeper muttered in front of a tombstone that belonged to his wife. It seems that although his wife has become a ghost, the grave keeper and his wife's ghost get along quite well.
However, the soul or ghost of the grave keeper's wife is gone. From this point, it can also be proved that the words of this ghost little girl are not false.
That means that the ghosts or spirits in the cemetery have disappeared for no apparent reason.
What's going on here? Could it be that a Taoist priest cast a spell to take away all those ghosts?
This is unlikely. If this were the case, I'm afraid it would have alarmed this little girl a long time ago. There's no way she's going to survive. But the little girl's did survive......
That's right, the ghost card!
I thought of the ghost card I just saw. The ghost card has a strong evil aura on it, which is formed by yin jade, which can cover the little girl's ghost body. In other words, it is very likely that the little girl's ghost body was covered, so her ghost was not taken away.
However, if she encounters a Taoist priest, even if she has a ghost card, her ghost will not be able to survive.
For a moment, I seemed to figure it out.
It is very likely that a Taoist priest inspired the Yin-Yang Dictionary and used the Yin-Yang Dictionary to take away those ghosts. Onmyoji can control ghosts, among other methods.
However, is that Taoist priest a cult Taoist priest or a decent Taoist priest, and what is his purpose in using the Yin and Yang Dictionary to take away those ghosts?
I can't figure this out.
What's more, before Qi Zhenhaiqi's predecessor died, he gave me a divination, saying that there are a large number of ghosts in the eastern suburbs cemetery. I'm here now, but I only found this little ghost, and the other ghosts are gone.
However, the strange predecessors deduced that those ghosts were still on the side of the Eastern Suburbs Cemetery.
In other words, it is likely that those ghosts were taken away by the Yin-Yang Code or some kind of formation and imprisoned. Naturally, there is an ulterior secret to this.
I squinted my eyes, and a sense of unease felt in my heart.
After a while, I looked up at the little girl and asked her, "Then you haven't found anything else in the cemetery?" β
The little girl shook her head at first when I asked, but then she thought of something. She said, "By the way, big brother, I thought about it, and I really made a discovery. I found that a person on the other side of the funeral home was very strange. β
"Strange? What makes you wonder? β
I asked hurriedly, and I felt that this might be a big clue.
The little girl said, "It's a woman!" ... I don't know what that woman does, but she always likes to be alone with corpses. A few times, when I sneaked into the funeral home, I found the woman lying with the corpses. β
"The bodies were dead, and they were all dead. The reason why I became a terrible ghost is also because I often go there to absorb the dead air. β
The little girl's words made me frown slightly. A woman who likes to sleep with corpses, it's incredible.
Could it be a necrophilia? ... Or maybe it's something else.
I asked, "What's that woman's name and why did she show up at the funeral home?" β
"I don't know what she's doing," said the little girl, "but she's a living person, and she's cold. I'm also a little scared of her. However, I know her name, and the people at the funeral home call her 'Styx'. Hades's Hades, Yiren's Yi. β
Hades? ... The name reminds me of "Underworld".
The garment can refer to the garment worn by the dead.
When I heard this name, I seemed to think of the cold face of this woman named "Hades".
I nodded, "yes, I see." β
Then, I stared at the little girl and said, "Do you want to find that sister Mu Qing of yours?" β
When the little girl heard me say this, her eyes lit up: "Big brother, why do you say that?" Can you help me find my sister Mu Qing? β
I shook my head and said, "I don't know." However, I did come to the Eastern Suburbs Cemetery to look for something. And I suspect that it was probably that thing that took away all the ghosts in this cemetery. This includes your sister Mu Qing. β
"If I find the thing I'm looking for, I might be able to find your sister Mu Qing."
Hearing me say this, the little girl suddenly became excited: "If you can, big brother, you must help me find my sister Mu Qing, I haven't seen her for a long time." I miss her so much... She was like my mom and was very nice to me. β
I said, "I don't know if I can find your sister Mu Qing." But now I don't find any clues. However, I think we can find it together if we can. After all, you're familiar with this side of the cemetery. β
"When the time comes, you can find your sister Mu Qing! I can also find what I want. β
The little girl almost didn't hesitate, and directly agreed: "Okay, big brother, I am willing to cooperate with you." β
It seems that this little girl is really not deeply involved in the world. She cooperated with me to find that female ghost Mu Qing... But she's afraid she's forgotten what I'm doing, I'm a Taoist priest. Isn't she afraid that I will find that Mu Qing and kill her and that female ghost together?
However, I just think about it, I really can't do that kind of despicable thing.
"Since you are willing to cooperate with me, then you should not have bad intentions and obey my arrangement. This cemetery in the eastern suburbs is not big, and we should be able to find those missing ghosts, as well as the thing I wanted. β
