Chapter 11: The Ghoul Spirit

Su Musha cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, took a bath again, and went to the study. He took out a copy of "Spirit Master Spell Cultivation" and meditated on the sofa according to the record of his last practice.

After a week of operation, the mobile phone rang, and Su Musha picked up the phone, but saw that it was Mao Zhaoying's name.

Mao Zhaoying, a son of the Mao family of Taoist priests. During a search for the undead, Su Musha befriended him. After the two talked, they found that they had quite the same ideas. So they became friends, and often exchanged tips on how to learn spells online.

It's just that what Mao Zhaoying called herself so late?

Su Musha answered the phone and asked, "Brother Mao, what's wrong?"

The head Mao Zhaoying replied: "Someone asked me to go to the receiving soul today, I encountered a strange thing and needed your help, can you come out conveniently?"

Su Musha gave an affirmative answer and asked him where he was now.

Mao Zhaoying said again: "I am now outside the alley of Wuyan Lane."

Su Musha was a little surprised: "Outside the alley, Brother Mao, who are you doing things for?"

Mao Zhaoying replied: "It is a family surnamed Wang, and the head of the household seems to be called Wang Yongyi."

Brother Wang's house? Yes, the old man of his family died tonight.

Su Musha answered the phone and walked out. There was no one in the alley anymore, only some unburned paper money still flickering with fire. When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he saw Mao Zhaoying in a Taoist uniform, and Mao Zhaoying also saw him and beckoned to him.

Su Musha walked forward quickly and came to Mao Zhaoying's side.

Mao Zhaoying didn't delay in the slightest, and walked forward with Su Musha, explaining as he went: "The family where I did the work was the old man. I was preparing for transcendence, but I did not find the existence of his spirit. He glanced at Su Musha: "You also know that under normal circumstances, for seven days after a person dies, the soul can only linger near the corpse, and cannot leave."

Su Musha nodded, it was true.

Mao Zhaoying said again: "But this family is very strange, I didn't feel the breath of the spirit at all when I arrived next to the corpse, thinking that it was my own judgment error, I opened the eyes of heaven again, but I still didn't see the existence of the spirit body." So I'd like to ask you to take a closer look with your yin and yang eyes. ”

Su Musha said: "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."

The two went to Wang Yongyi's house together, and his house had already set up a mourning hall at this time, and there was a cry in the house, and the body of the old man Wang was placed on the mat behind the white curtain.

Mrs. Wang's eyes were red and swollen, and her face was sad, and her relatives helped her over. She walked up to Mao Zhaoying, and said to him in a hoarse voice: "Daoist Mao, I hope you will overtake my old man and let him reincarnate as soon as possible."

Mao Zhaoying nodded. And Wang Yongyi and his wife were kneeling next to the corpse of Mr. Wang and burning paper. Wang Yongyi was slightly surprised when he saw Su Musha coming with Mao Zhaoying.

Mao Zhaoying explained: "I have something to use, so let Boss Su come over to prepare."

Wang Yongyi nodded, got up and covered the white cloth on his father's body, and knelt down to continue burning paper.

Mao Zhaoying went to find his daughter who was busy with the affairs of Old Man Wang, and asked her about Old Man Wang's condition before his death.

It turned out that Mr. Wang had been in poor health since he reached the age of 50, and he had been bedridden for a long time in recent years. Tonight, when the children were burning paper to sacrifice to the lonely ghosts, praying that they would not cause their father any more sickness, there was an exclamation in the house.

Everyone ran into the house, but saw the mother throwing herself beside the father's bed, and lost her voice in pain. And the father is dead.

Because Old Man Wang has been sick for many years, the children are just sad, but they don't think there is anything strange about his death.

Mao Zhaoying was sure that Old Man Wang's death was not normal, because Old Man Wang's soul had disappeared, where would there be wild ghosts who would have to swallow the souls of the dead people when they received sacrifices?

Su Musha saw that everyone was busy, so he walked to an unnoticeable corner, took off his glasses, and looked around the entire mourning hall, but he didn't find anything wrong, and he didn't find anything non-human.

Seeing that Mao Zhaoying had already entered the compartment separated by the white curtain again, Su Musha also put on his eyes and quietly followed in.

Mao Zhaoying sent Wang Yongyi and his wife away in the compartment, and then asked Su Musha behind him, what did he find?

Su Musha shook his head: "Nothing, Old Man Wang's spirit body has indeed disappeared."

Mao Zhaoying's brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought on the side, while Su Musha stepped forward to check on Old Man Wang's body, only to see that his face was slightly distorted, as if he was hiding fear; The corners of his mouth were red, and Su Musha opened his mouth, finding that his tongue had been bitten and oozing blood; I opened the eyelids of the old man Wang again, and sure enough, I saw a gray film on the eyeballs, which looked very terrifying!

Su Musha shouted to Mao Zhaoying in a low voice: "Brother Mao, come and see!" ”

Mao Zhaoying walked to his side when he heard this, Su Musha asked him to look at Old Man Wang's eyes, Mao Zhaoying was shocked after seeing it: "How can this be?!" ”

Su Musha replied, "This is the work of the ghouls. ”

Ghouls, who feed on the souls and corpses of people who have just died, are not evil spirits, because they never harm the living.

Mao Zhaoying thought carefully about the situation he found along the way, and it was indeed in line with the statement of the Nechoul Soul Eater, but it was just ......

"Why are his eyes like this?" Mao Zhaoying didn't remember that after being devoured by the ghoul spirit, the corpse would have such a situation.

Su Musha raised his eyes with his fingers and replied, "This is caused by the forcible devouring of souls by the ghouls, which is recorded in the books handed down by the Su family."

Mao Zhaoying's eyes lit up, he looked at Su Musha and said eagerly: "Tell me about it carefully." -

Su Musha recalled the contents of the book and said slowly: "Generally speaking, ghoul spirits do not devour the spirits of the undead. But there are special cases where they forcibly devour the souls of the living. They absorb the spirit body from this person's heavenly spirit acupoint, and people will feel extremely painful. The moment the spirit is sucked out, the person's eyeballs will be covered with a gray film, and ......" He paused and turned over Old Man Wang's hair: "This person's Heavenly Spirit Acupoint will leave two tooth holes. ”

Mao Zhaoying looked closely, and sure enough, he saw two tiny holes on the top of his head.

Su Musha's expression suddenly became stern: "However, the reason why this special situation of the ghoul devouring the spirit of a living person occurs is because this person has a deep blood feud with the ghoul during his lifetime."

Mao Zhaoying was stunned for a moment and spoke: "Deep hatred in the sea of blood? But I asked the children of the old man Wang today, and they said that he was kind to people during his lifetime, and he did not have a deep enmity with anyone. ”

Su Musha listened to Mao Zhaoying's words, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Anyway, the ghoul has not yet devoured the corpse of Old Man Wang, which means that it will come again." Let's take some measures first and catch it when it comes, and the truth about Old Man Wang will naturally be revealed. ”

Mao Zhaoying nodded, formed a formation with a red rope under the corpse of Old Man Wang, and danced a peachwood sword to lay a formation on the red rope, and Su Musha pasted a spirit talisman on the wall and Old Man Wang's side to ensure that the ghoul spirit would never escape when it came back.

After arranging the compartment, Mao Zhaoying glanced at Su Mu, and the two walked out together.

Seeing them come out, everyone in the Wang family stepped forward to surround Mao Zhaoying, and Wang Yongyi asked, "Master Mao, how are the Dharma things doing?"

Mao Zhaoying shook his head: "There are still some steps left, I need to go home and get some more things."

Wang Yongyi agreed, and Su Musha suddenly interjected on the side at this time: "Brother Wang, where is Lingtang?"

Wang Yongyi was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he asked this question: "My mother, she is old and in poor health, and she has already gone to rest at this time."

Su Musha nodded and said no more, and left the Wang family after saying goodbye to Mao Zhaoying and everyone.

The two arrived at the entrance of the alley together, and Su Musha asked Mao Zhaoying: "Brother Mao, do you want to stay with me tonight?"

Mao Zhaoying shook his head and said, "No, I still have something to do, let's meet here at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, oh yes, you still have classes tomorrow, right?"

Su Musha said: "There is a class, but this time the matter is very strange, I will ask for leave first, and it will not be too late to go to class when the matter is resolved."

Mao Zhaoying said that she understood, and the two said goodbye.

Su Mu hid himself into the alley, and after taking a few steps, he took off his eyes, and saw that there were more or less lonely ghosts in front of every house, competing for the ashes in the brazier. When those ghosts saw Su Mu passing by, they would shrink aside and dare not make a move.

Su Musha remembered the glance he had just inadvertently glanced back at the Wang family outside the alley, the door was clean, and the paper money in the basin had not yet been burned, but none of the ghosts went to enjoy the food.

It seems that the ghoul is still in the Wang family, and it is still an evil spirit, and the reason why he didn't find it is only because it was temporarily covered by someone with a secret technique.

Su Musha returned to Su Ji Shop, added incense and candles to Huang Yi and Huang Er's incense burner, remembered tonight's incident, and sincerely sighed that it was still the best of his own two little ghosts.

As soon as the incense candle was inserted, two little ghosts floated out, took the incense candle and ran out, intending to show off with other ghosts. Although they still couldn't leave Su Ji, with the help of Su Musha, they could already move freely within a radius of ten meters outside Su Ji. Seeing that there are so many new ghosts coming tonight, if you don't show off at this time, when will you stay?

The corners of Su Mu's eyes twitched, and he resolutely retracted what he had just said.

called Lin Ye and asked her to help him take a day off tomorrow. Lin Ye readily agreed. After Su Musha thanked him, he hung up the phone and prepared to rest.

As for Huang Yi and Huang Er, after being robbed of the incense candle by other ghosts for a while, they will naturally come back. Although these two are thousand-year-old ghosts, after all, the double (ghost) fist is no match for the hands of the crowd (ghost).

Su Musha went to bed after washing up, and had no dreams all night.
