Chapter 490: Luminous Skeleton
Although the big rats squeaked strangely, they didn't seem to frighten the civets. The little civet was still walking towards them, and then it stopped half a meter away from their big rats.
After stopping, amid the strange cries of the big rats, the civet slowly turned around. Immediately after, its butt was directed towards the big rats, and with a "bald" sound, a stinky fart was released.
The two sac-like protrusions on the civet's abdomen also bulged, and the gas released was dark green, which could be seen very clearly in the faint candlelight. And those big rats that smelled stinky farts turned around and ran away one by one.
There is a word called "head rat scurrying", which may be more appropriate to use here. However, the funny thing is that in a panic, the big rats actually extinguished the white candle, and then the candle was taken away by one of the big rats and ran inside.
With this move, the little guy Lingcion drove away all the big rats.
It turned around, the hair on its body, shook a little, and then ran towards me quickly.
"Hey, good job." I complimented, then bowed down and held out my hand.
The civet ran down my arm, ran to my shoulder, and crouched down as if nothing had happened. It was easy for the big rats to be driven away. However, the air in the gap has deteriorated, smelly, and smells like rotten tomatoes.
I opened my eyes, walked inside, and soon walked into a cave full of stalagmite pillars. There are also a number of divergent paths on this side of the cave that lead to other places. As for where the rats go, I don't know.
I just didn't expect that as soon as I entered the cave, there was a sudden noise above my head. In a hurry, my feet staggered to the side.
Then, just where I was standing, a stone the size of a washbasin fell inside. It was so loud that it really scared me.
I looked up, good fellow, there's a bulging stone on top of this cave. There was a ghost hanging from the top of the stone, a hanged ghost.
The hanged man was wrapped around his neck with twine, and the other side was wrapped around the stone.
However, it is not hanging here, it is just that the hanged ghost is here. Just now, the hanged ghost moved a stone and smashed it at me.
And this hanged ghost is still a demon!
"Grandma's, little ghost, you come down for me, see how I clean you up!" I shouted at the hanged man.
The hanged ghost ignored me, its body wrapped in hemp rope, the skin on its face rotten, and the slimy liquid dripping from it. His body, beneath the raised stone, swayed back and forth.
This reminds me of the Rain Doll.
However, Chinese sunny and rainy dolls generally wear green clothes, red pants, and a broom in their left hand, which is still different from the hanged ghost, which is used to judge the weather. However, the rain doll is not native to China, but from Japan, and it cannot be seen in China's big cities, but in the countryside.
The appearance of the rain doll is quite good-looking, but the appearance of this hanged ghost is extremely ugly. He was supposed to be a man, and there wasn't much hair on his head, all of which had been dreadlocked.
The clothes on his body were also in tatters, and the ghost remained the same as when he died.
Also, just like black and white impermanence, this hanged ghost, because his neck was strangled, and a long tongue spit out of his mouth. Because of the cursed eye I opened, I could see it clearly, and there were white hairs on the top of the red tongue, which looked extremely disgusting.
But the hanged man, as if he had not heard me, was still swaying from side to side.
I was not polite, and threw out an exorcism charm with a shake of my hand. Unexpectedly, as soon as the exorcism charm was burning, this evil ghost hanged ghost flicked his tongue and smashed the exorcism charm.
Ya, it's really a toast and don't eat and drink. I was a little angry in my heart, so I drew a palm and thunder in the palm of my hand.
As soon as the palm of his hand was raised, the palm and thunder slammed towards the hanged ghost.
With a "boom", thunder and lightning exploded, completely shattering the protruding stone where the hanged ghost was. However, when I went to look again when the stones had fallen and the dust had cleared, I did not see the hanged man.
Ah, the palm and thunder just now didn't hit him.
Just as I looked up, there was a chill behind me. I pulled out my wand and swung it backwards so hard that the wand collided with the hanged man's long tongue.
However, it may be because of the white hair that grows on the long tongue, which has a certain immunity to Taoist mana. Therefore, the long tongue of the hanged ghost was wrapped around the wand of the ghost, and it was not affected.
But does he think I'm so easy to deal with, I pointed my sword and swiped it inside the ghost torture staff, and a strong Taoist mana spread along the ghost torture staff to the long tongue of the hanged ghost.
In an instant, the hanged man retracted his long tongue. Because the long tongue was shot by Taoist mana, billowing black smoke came out of it.
"Ahhh
The hanged man's mouth let out a scream, and then, as the sinister aura spread out from it, it stared at me with scarlet eyes.
I sneered: "Come on, take the initiative to attack me, you are looking for death!" ”
Fingers moved in midair, and a fire cloud spell was born.
"Go!"
The runes on the Fire Cloud Mantra were connected together, and they were attracted by the Taoist mana, and suddenly flew out and landed on the body of the hanged ghost. directly burned the hanged ghost into a ball, and most of the yin qi on the ghost's body weakened.
Taking advantage of this time, I opened the yellow gourd and directly took the hanged ghost in. This is already the fourth ghost, and it is still a ghost.
With this hanged man in hand, I wandered around the cave for a while. In the direction near the southwest corner, I found a simple spatial dao array, which was also arranged according to the "Bagua Yin and Yang", in the form of a "six-pointed star", made of obsidian.
I walked over and took a look, and I knew how the senior master of the former Lushan faction set up the formation.
After inspecting this spatial path array, I walked in the direction of the north, where there were several paths, perhaps leading to the depths of this dragon cave. But I don't know where the ghost cave in the Dragon Cave is. But since it's called a "ghost cave", I'm afraid there will be no fewer ghosts inside.
There are two passages due north, and I chose the one on the right.
Unexpectedly, I found a lot of white hairs and some disgusting feces in the passage. Needless to say, those big rats that I encountered earlier must have left this passage.
Originally, I wanted to change it, but after thinking about it, since I've come to this passage, let's go in and have a look.
After walking for a while, not a single ghost was encountered. This made me unlucky. I went into the Dragon Cave to catch ghosts, and the ghosts can't see them, so I'm not unlucky.
The point is, I still have a lot of means, but I haven't used them.
Even if I encounter the Ghost King, I believe I will be able to deal with one or two. And the further you go inside, the greater the stench, and the more rat droppings there are. Slimy rat droppings stuck to my feet, unspeakably uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, the passage is quite straight, and there are no other forks in the road. I just had to bite the bullet and go inside.
After walking for more than ten minutes, a little fire suddenly appeared in front of me. No, it's not a fire, it's also a kind of yellow light.
So, wondering what was going on, I stepped in and rushed inside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I passed, I saw a terrible scene.
This is a small cave, more than 20 square meters, but there is a hill of mouse feces piled up in this cave, the hill is not big, around, a huge mouse is constantly moving.
And the fire came from not far from this rat droppings pile, and there was a man standing there!
Because I feel angry.
No, not a man, it's a rat standing.
The rat was very big, and he was wearing human clothes, and the head of the rat was peeking out of the collar of the clothes, and the hair on his body was fiery red, and the long whiskers of the rat were white.
Strangely, the rat also has a crystal ball in its claws. It's just that the light emitted from the crystal ball is not white light, but Huang Tongtong's light.
Good fellow, this rat is really a sperm, not only dressed in human clothes, but also standing there as if praying for something.
The rat held the yellow glowing crystal ball aloft in his hand.
I was amazed to see this. However, I had experienced a lot of things before, so I was surprised now, but I quickly calmed down.
The big rat in human clothes was like an elder, holding the "ball" high, and then walked step by step to the small dung heap made of rat droppings. The steps are also very much like the steps of a person.
Could it be that I really met the "Gray Fairy". No, no, if the rat cultivates into a "fox fairy", there will definitely be earthly qi entanglement on the body, but this clothed mouse does not.
The big rats that were running all went to the little dung heap, raised their heads, and stared at the clothed rat walking up. The mouse's mouth moved, and it uttered a strange speech, as if it were some kind of sacrificial spell.
This reminds me of shamanism.
But what can a group of rats have to do with shamanism?
I looked intently, and found that there was a skeleton standing on the top of the small dung heap made of rat droppings. The skeleton was not that of a mouse, but of a man.
Good fellows, these big rats are worshipping this man.
And my cursed eye also noticed that although there were no ghosts on the skeleton, or spirits attached to it, the bones on it glowed green.
No, this green light should be ....... Ghost Fire!
Ghost fires are generally found in tombs in rural areas. Because human bones contain phosphorus, after the corpse decomposes, it will produce phosphine, which has a very low ignition point and can spontaneously combust.
This is according to the scientific explanation. However, what makes me feel strange is that the flames on this skeleton do not seem to be ghost fires, and the ghost fires are cold when they reveal flames. However, the flames on this skeleton do not have a cold feeling, but give people a warm and baking feeling.
No, it's not a ghost fire!
I took a hard look at it, and it seemed that there was still a bit of familiarity on the skeleton. It seems to be, Taoist mana, yes, it is Taoist mana. This skeleton has Taoist mana on it. In other words, the owner of this skeleton was a Taoist priest before his death.
