The next morning, Qi Lu and Lao Wu drove to the pond again

The sky was gloomy and melancholy, and Qi Lu carefully observed the panorama of the pond and found that it had long been filled with abandoned bricks and tiles, or some weeds poked out of the cracks in the stones, and the young leaves grew stubbornly

The faint sunlight stretched the figure of the locust tree long, dancing wildly on the ground like a ghost shadow as the cold wind raged

"I'm a little scared," Lao Wu took a sip of wine to suppress his shock

Qi Lu replied disdainfully: "I'm afraid of what daytime ghosts don't dare to come out to trouble us"

"Can you be sure that the stuff is down there"

"It shouldn't be wrong," Qi Lu raised his hoe and dug up in the direction of the roots of the tree on the ground below the tree following yesterday's mark

"It's also a ghost, how could you remember the wrong place for your own things," Lao Wu also followed to dig up the dirt

Soon, a white skull appeared in the ground nearly a meter deep under the old locust tree

"Digged"

Qi Lu excitedly stretched out his hands to take out the skull from the ground and carefully brushed off the dirt on it

The black, hollow eyes on the skulls stared at them in the sunlight, and there was a ghostly feeling

Qi Lu held up the skull with both hands, and then slowly held it in front of his eyes

In a trance, Qi Lu seemed to hear it talking to himself, and the voice was very, very soft, it was not a sound that could be heard with his ears, but some kind of chant from the depths of the netherworld

Qi Lu instantly felt a wave of sadness and pain, contagious to the depths of his soul, he gently stroked it, felt its thoughts, its resentment, its pain, its hatred, hoping that this female ghost could tell him everything he wanted to know

Just when Qi Lu was thinking nonsense, he heard Lao Wu laugh and say: "It's still that you kid is smart, and you actually thought of finding the lost skull by leading the way through a female ghost."

Qi Lu didn't speak, his fingers had unconsciously touched the eyebrow bones of the eye sockets, the eye sockets were deeply sunken, his fingers instinctively reached into the eye sockets and entered the inside of it, although it was empty, but Qi Lu felt something cold running through his fingers

Just when Qi Lu was surprised, he suddenly saw a blood-red snake coming out of the eye socket of the skull, it opened its mouth wide, as if it was about to bite at any time, Qi Lu had already smelled the rancid smell coming from the snake's mouth

Qi Lu was secretly frightened, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed the snake covered in mud, and the temperature of the body like ice was quickly transmitted along its body to Qi Lu's palm, almost letting the strange snake slip out of his hand

The blood snake did not give in, it struggled desperately in Qi Lu's hands, and from time to time it stretched out its tongue and made a piercing sound, Qi Lu felt that the snake was slippery like a loach, and it really couldn't pinch its body, and in a blink of an eye, it broke free and wanted to bite itself

Qi Lu's left hand quickly pinched the mantra and chanted the mantra, the blood snake's soft body instantly became as stiff as wood, Qi Lu carefully grabbed it, carefully observing the snake letter in its mouth that was constantly expanding

Lao Wu said casually: "Throw it on the ground and let me send it back to the west with a hoe."

"Don't do this," Qi Lu quickly stopped Lao Wu's actions and then asked him: "Don't you think it's strange that there is a snake in the skull?"

"What's so strange about this, tomb robbers often find foxes popping out of corpses in ancient tombs, it's just a snake that hasn't woken up from hibernation."

"Then have you ever seen a snake letter like this?"

Old Wu Yiyan couldn't help but be taken aback when he looked at it, this was a snake letter, slender and crimson, and it was clearly a woman's tongue

"Nightmare Spirit" Lao Wu finally understood what was going on

"That's right, this is the nightmare spirit of the female ghost in red," Qi Lu stared at the snake's head sideways for a long time before saying, "I said, how can this ghost not harm people, it turns out that she sealed all her resentment in the form of a snake in her skull."

The vicious female ghost actually sealed all her resentments, so what is the point of her nostalgia for the world, is there anything more important to her than revenge, Qi Lu really can't figure it out

"You seem to have forgotten one thing," Lao Wu replied unhurriedly

"What's the matter?"

"No matter how powerful the ghost is, even if he cultivates to the legendary ghost immortal realm, there is something that is still taboo for him."

"That's right," Qi Lu suddenly realized, and he patted Lao Wu's shoulder excitedly, "I actually forgot such an important fact."

As the old saying goes, the good thing is that people in the yang world can't see ghosts; In the underworld, the ghost cannot touch the ghost that wanders in the world, and any object is nothing but a void to him, so he can pass through it as he pleases and ignore its existence

But in fact, many people who encounter ghosts feel that they have different experiences from the above statements, and in their eyes, the ghosts they encounter are no different from ordinary people, not only can they be aware of the existence of the other party, but they can also chat, hug, and even do many things with people that are not usually possible

Actually, that's a delusion, it's just a false impression that the ghost has created in your mind, in fact, he doesn't have any physical contact with your body, on the contrary, when you do these things, the ghost is probably hiding from the sidelines and watching you look like you

The only way for a ghost to regain the touch of his life is only through hard cultivation and continuous study and practice that he can have this kind of instinct that is ordinary to a living person, even so, even if a ghost cultivates to the highest level and feathers into a ghost immortal, there is still one thing that he can never touch, it is the body of the ghost before his death, of course, including the bones and remains of the decomposing corpse

Therefore, after Lao Wu's reminder, Qi Lu was sure that the blood snake spirit sealed in the skull in his hand would never be something that the female ghost in red could do by herself

Qi Lu said to himself: "This female ghost is really pitiful, she died unexpectedly before her death, and she will not be at peace after death, and even her soul will be at the mercy of others, but who gave her this spell, and what is the purpose of his doing this?"

Old Wu was silent, because he also didn't know the answer

"Since we know that it is a nightmare spirit, maybe we can find some clues from it," after speaking, Qi Lu recited another spell, this spell was only halfway through the recitation, the blood snake's body regained its freedom, Qi Lu quickly pinched its seven inches, and did not let it break free from his hands again

When Qi Lu's incantation was finished, something suddenly moved in the snake's abdomen, like a living thing, and it swam in the direction of the snake's head, and finally stopped close to seven inches, slowly protruding

Qi Lu took the slender object out of the snake's body and almost scratched his fingers

It was a silver needle about an inch long, and it was shining with cold white light in Qi Lu's hand at the moment

"It looks like someone is really making trouble," Wu said

"It's been decades, and this needle hasn't rusted," Qi Lu noticed this unexplainable phenomenon, and he knew in his heart that there must be too many ulterior secrets behind the female ghost in red, so he handed over the soul fixing needle to Lao Wu and asked him to find a professional organization to identify the time when this needle was made

After Lao Wu took the needle, he said: "It's better to destroy the spirit as soon as possible, if you let it return to the body of the female ghost in red, it will be a big trouble."

"Hmm" Qi Lu agreed with Lao Wu's proposal very much, he took out a talisman and pasted it on the snake's head, and then wrapped the talisman paper around the snake's body like twisting a twist

The blood snake's eyes immediately bulged out, staring at Qi Lu viciously like human eyes, with a resentful expression

Qi Lu pretended not to see it, pressed his left index finger on the snake's head, and whispered a spell in his mouth, and Lao Wu was also beside him, reciting the same incantation as him

The blood snake seemed to be stimulated by the spell, and the pain was unbearable, it struggled to break free from Qi Lu's right palm, and then crawled straight up along his left arm, wanting to wrap around Qi Lu's neck, Qi Lu ignored it, and still kept chanting the incantation

With a "snort", the blood snake was finally defeated, and it fell to the ground weakly, and its body began to turn into a cloud of black gas

The black gas accumulated more and more, hovering in front of Qi Lu's eyes for a long time, and then suddenly condensed in the air, turning into a distorted figure, like a woman hiding her face and crying, the woman's face gradually became clear, it was a beautiful girl's face, Qi Lu quickly took out his mobile phone and took pictures at the ghost

Lao Wu asked: "This is the true face of the female ghost in red"

"It shouldn't be wrong" Qi Lu praised Lao Wu while looking at the photos in the camera: "Thanks to this ghost software you installed for me, I also relied on it to find the bloody handprints of monsters in the funeral home last time."

"It's not my credit, the software is an invention of the Zhengyi faction when they were bored, I just smuggled it from their computers."

The two chatted for a while, and before they could fully see the true image of the female ghost in red, the black smoke slowly dispersed, and finally dissipated in the air

"Hehe" Qi Lu said with a smile: "The spirit has dissipated, this female ghost just wants to harm people, I'm afraid that she will also be blamed by her conscience."

Lao Wu said: "Don't be wronged, let's find out her identity as soon as possible."

Qi Lu looked at the photo and frowned and said, "Only half a face can recognize who this female ghost is?"

Lao Wu asked: "It's very simple, the skull of the female ghost is in our hands, let's do it now, let's recruit the female ghost again, can't we find out the identity of the female ghost, and ask the name of the murderer by incident."

"Don't do this," Qi Lu said resolutely: "We don't know who sealed the female ghost here, and if you rashly summon the spirit, you may be plotted by the master behind the scenes."

Lao Wu cross-examined: "Didn't you trick me and invite the female ghost just now, I don't think there is any danger."

"The situation is different, we are in the open, the enemy is in the dark, if he wants to sneak attack, we will definitely suffer a big loss, anyway, the female ghost's skull will also fall into our hands, let's go back to the company and recruit her soul again"

"Hehe, you also say that I am cowardly, in fact, you are also afraid of death"

"Is this cautious," Qi Lu yawned, put the skull into a cloth bag full of charms, and beckoned Lao Wu to return to the company with him
