Chapter 17 Making Deals
When we arrived at Grandpa Zhang's house, the ghost led me directly into the kitchen, and in the corner of the kitchen, there was really a jar of black dog blood.
"Why didn't I find it when I was looking for food in the kitchen before? Where did this come from? ”
The ghost looked at me with a grin, "You won't know, because I found it from the next room, and I secretly hid it here, thinking that I might need it in the future." In addition to placing four bowls of dog blood on the table, Grandpa Zhang also placed four small jars of dog blood in the four corners of the room. I had a guess before, so I looked it up. I really found it, and I believe that Ma Yonggui must have known about it, because there were two jars missing. ”
"How is this possible? I hadn't seen it when I cleaned up the house before, and Ma Yonggui couldn't have known it. I tried my best to refute her.
"Then where did you say Ma Yonggui's dog blood came from? I think Ma Yonggui knows no less about this ceremony than Grandpa Zhang, and he is also prepared. Or perhaps, for Grandpa Zhang's death, the direction we guessed at the beginning was wrong. ”
I was taken aback by the idea of a ghost, Grandpa Zhang's death, and the police identified it as a suicide. And the ghost spirit also said that the symbol was drawn wrong, so he was killed by the resentful spirit, if it is all pushed on Ma Yonggui now, then what is his purpose in killing Grandpa Zhang? I was completely confused.
"Your imagination is too rich, one moment like this, the other time it will be like that, and now I feel more and more that what you say is very contradictory." I don't believe there are other theories about Grandpa Zhang's death.
"Actually, this is just a guess on my part, if I'm right, it's still unknown whether I'll be able to see the wraith tonight." The ghost patted her head with one hand and spun in place, as if she would be disappointed not to see the ghost.
"Don't turn around, I'm stunned by you, a jar of dog blood, it has triggered so much imagination from you, if you are a writer, you will definitely become a god, this imagination, I am convinced." I joked about the ridiculous idea of ghosts.
"Don't believe me, if I guess correctly, you can admire me!"
The ghost picked up the dog's blood and walked out in high spirits, thinking about what she had said all the way.
Soon, we arrived at Ma Yonggui's house, and we still left at that time. It's just that the air doesn't smell good, and at this time, looking at the blood-red characters on the wall, I have some sympathy in my heart. Ma Yonggui's blood on the ground had already dried up, and he was in a hurry that day, and he didn't sort out his body. The ghost pulled a sheet, covered Ma Yonggui's body, and began to prepare for the altar.
"Brother, come here, come and see this ding." The ghost held the Ding of Grandpa Zhang's house and shouted at me.
I hurriedly walked over, and the ghost took his mobile phone to shine on the inside of the ding, "Brother, look, the symbol on the outside is not the key, the key is the words inside." ”
I took the tripod and saw the words on it clearly by the light of my mobile phone: "Reverse the tide and summon evil spirits." What does that mean? Where did this symbol come from? Didn't you say it's the same as the one on Grandpa's grave? ”
I looked at the ghost in confusion, only to see her scratching her head, "Maybe the Taoist priest who is going to burn you knows." ”
"What is this! Why did it get to him again? ”
I think the ghost himself can't explain the meaning of the symbol on the tripod, and I didn't debunk her when I pulled out the Taoist priest to tell me.
"Brother, you are inside at night, if I lose control, you will come out to stop me. If Wang San and the others come, you will be with them, and I will see what Ma Yonggui wants to do. ”
I don't know what the ghost is going to do, but I'm sure she has a reason for taking such a risk, so I'll just wait and see.
Time passed minute by minute, and I panicked when I waited. Finally, we were beaten until almost twelve o'clock in the morning, but we never saw Wang San and the others appear, and I didn't expect them to come, after all, it was difficult for Xiuyun to face Ma Yonggui.
The ghost stood alone in the hall, and I watched everything in the dark. She began to light three pillars of incense, and the incense only sparked twice, and then it went out, and the incense turned black and emitted white smoke.
I kept shouting in my heart, this incense can't be lit, is it coming? I broke out in a cold sweat nervously, and my heart jumped to my throat.
"Turn things around and summon evil spirits." The ghost said loudly.
The room was silent, and nothing happened.
"Turn things around and summon evil spirits." The ghost repeated it again, then took the knife and slashed his hand, dripping a few drops of blood into the ding.
"Turn things around and summon evil spirits." As soon as the ghost's words fell, the lights in the hall went out, and I carefully watched the movement in the hall by the moonlight, although it was vague, but I still didn't dare to pant loudly, for fear that if I was not careful, the ghost's life would be gone.
"Hey, hey, this little girl is still an expert, and we can't get close to her." A thin, shrill voice came out of the air.
I'm full of spirits, is this coming?
"Little girl, you summoned us, what do you want to do with us?" A voice that was neither male nor female sounded in the air, and I rubbed my eyes, and I couldn't see anything at all.
"Making a deal? Why should I trade with you? The ghost asked rhetorically, without the slightest fear.
"Boss, this little girl is looking for death."
"Since you have summoned us and others, you must know that once this ritual is opened, you must make a deal, or you will be eaten by the bone-eating beasts."
The ghost hesitated for a moment, "What is the capital I have to make a trade?" What kind of requests can I make? ”
"What a clever girl, the capital you trade is your soul. I can fulfill your three wishes, you can ask for wealth, you can ask for fame, anything. The average trader has a lifespan of 10 to 20 years. But you're the spirit daughter of the Ghost Family, and I'll only make deals with you for a year. The unmale voice said the rules of the game.
"A year? Why? ”
"If the people of the eight major families want to make a transaction, they naturally have to pay more than ordinary people. Moreover, you are not showing your sincerity to make a deal now. ”
I suddenly felt that I was being pulled by something, and it wasn't just one that pulled me, my body was not under my control, and I was pushed down next to Ma Yonggui's body.
"Don't hurt him." The ghost shouted eagerly.
I wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, I could only listen to the conversation between them, and my eyes were empty, and I didn't know what the other person was.
"It's okay not to hurt him, aha, then I'm going to have to step up my chips. Let me think about it, then use his memories of the Oni Clan as the sincerity of your deal with me. Well, a ghost descendant has lost his memories of his family, and I've never tried such a funny thing. If you try to tell him this memory, our trading will stop, what you traded will be reverted, and you will never be able to recover. That voice was like a magic voice from the region, and the sentence that the catastrophe was no longer even more terrifying.
Although I couldn't move, I wished the ghost wouldn't be bewitched by him, but I was wrong.
