Chapter 21: The Forbidden Land
Everyone has heard of ghost grinding, but what it really is much more complicated to say.
To put it simply, the grinding disc of the stone mill is divided into two parts, the upper side is the yang side, and the lower side is the yin side. The part where the two sides of yin and yang are combined has a lot of grinding teeth.
The arrangement of the grinding teeth is exquisite, and if the carving is not good, the grinding thing is not fine, and it is not a good grinding.
Ghost grinding is related to tooth grinding. In the countryside, the older generation of stonemasons will not say that they make grinding wheels, but call them yin and yang wheels.
When people are grinding, it is clockwise, so that the cutting can be grinded, and it is also in line with the Taoist principle of yin and yang.
But the ghost grinding is originally a matter of disturbing yin and yang, if it is clockwise like a person, the stone grinding will produce the power of yin and yang chaos, and the yin soul cannot bear it.
At the first glance of my probe, I saw that the old woman was grinding counterclockwise, and there was a yin qi on her body, which I could detect with my current physique, which showed that the yin qi was extremely strong.
Unfortunately, as soon as I reacted, my body couldn't move. But at this time, I was awake, and Li Lin, like me, also failed to escape, and came in after me like a puppet.
In the mill, a lantern was lit on the boulder, which illuminated the mill dimly, and the old lady's appearance was also very clear.
The black pullover on her head resembles a large flower roll spread out, and her body is covered with dark old-fashioned diagonal buttons. She was slowly pushing the millstone, but as soon as we entered, her head was raised.
It was a wrinkled face, but at the moment it smiled very peacefully at me and Li Lin.
If they meet in the field, her smile is normal, but in the abandoned mill, under the dim oil lamp, the smile is indescribably weird and scary.
I believe that Li Lin, like me, is about to pee his pants.
The old woman stopped grinding, took out two red rope sets with a smile, beckoned to me and said, "Good boy, come, come, let Grandma put it on for you." ”
Her movements were slow and her smile was kind, but her voice was like a rusty iron plate sanded with a piece of sandpaper, unusually harsh.
I saw the red rope ring in her hand, and her pupils were constantly beating and contracting.
There is a legend in the countryside that people who hang themselves will have a red rope sleeve that ordinary people can't see on the rope they hang.
It's like having a spell that can be seen by those who are being targeted, and can tempt people to stick their necks in. Therefore, after some people who hanged themselves were rescued in time, they would say that they did not want to die at all.
That's because they're obsessed with the red rope.
What the old woman is holding in her hand now is the kind of red rope sleeve, which the rural people call it a lifeline.
I struggled desperately, trying to retreat, but my body involuntarily leaned over, lowered my head, and drilled my neck into the lifeline.
The other red rope was set on Li Lin, who, like me, drilled his neck into it uncontrollably. In his eyes, I could see the same horror as I did.
But when we came, we were defenseless, and we were directly hit, and the lights were too late to be lit.
Finished! Finished!
I only have these two words in my mind, the adults will be at Liu Guozhu's house, busy arranging tomorrow's affairs, and the people in the township will come down, such a big event, they will not miss it.
Even if they weren't at Liu Guozhu's house, no one would come to this place.
Thinking about it, I almost burst into tears. My daughter-in-law's hand hasn't been pulled yet, I don't want to die yet, but what can I do now, I still wear the silver necklace, but my daughter-in-law. When I returned to Yin Village, it was impossible to come to save me.
Seeing that my head was over the red rope circle, I still didn't give up struggling. But the imprisoning power is like an elephant stepping on the body, and it is useless to exert force.
And I guessed that the old woman used a lifeline to trap me, mainly to pull my soul out. When the time comes, he will die, and he will hurt his daughter-in-law.
But no matter how hard I tried, my body still didn't listen to me, and when I saw that my chin was about to slide in, a black shadow suddenly rushed in at the door of the mill, I lowered my head, I couldn't see who it was, and as soon as the black shadow came in, I spilled something with my backhand.
The thing fell to the ground like ignited gunpowder, snorting and dancing with countless sparks. Some were sprinkled on the old woman, and the same sparks flew around.
The old woman screamed, but leaned forward, trying to put the red rope around my neck at the last moment.
The black shadow snorted coldly, jumped on the stone mill, Dapeng spread his wings, and grabbed the old woman's hands at the same time, for a while, the old woman's hands were caught by the green smoke, she wanted to pump back in pain, but the hands that grabbed her were very powerful, just let her remove the lifeline on our heads, and then the old man pulled hard, pulling the old woman back.
Taking advantage of the momentum of the old woman being pulled back, the person on the stone mill slammed a kick on the old woman's chest. There was a terrible scream, as if something was about to be kicked out of the old woman's body.
As soon as the red rope sleeve left our heads, Li Lin and I regained our freedom of movement at the same time. It's just that I was both frightened, and I was only scared in my heart, and as soon as I could move, I turned my head and ran out.
But at this time, the person who saved us shouted: "Ding Ning, light the lamp!" ”
As soon as he spoke, I recognized it as Uncle Li's voice. When Li Lin heard his father's voice, he hurriedly stopped and pulled me at the same time.
I was relieved at this time, and hurriedly took out the jade lamp in my bag, and I didn't care about the pain, so I put my middle finger in my mouth, and bit it hard, and directly bit a small piece of flesh, and the sting was bloody.
Uncle Li was not idle at this time, his hands were like steel tongs, clasping the old woman's hands and kicking her abdomen at the same time.
I couldn't see it from the angle just now, but now I can see that every time Uncle Li kicks it, a big ball of things bulges from the old woman's back, as if it is about to fly out.
Uncle Li saw that my jade lamp was stained with blood, and hurriedly said, "I'll force it out later, and you will use the jade lamp to extinguish it." ”
"Li Xun, you dog is nosy with rats!"
After listening to Uncle Li's words, the old woman was anxious and scolded Uncle Li, and the voice did not come out of her mouth at all, but from her body, and the urn sound was angry.
My heart tightened, could it be that this old woman has a grimace in her body?
At this time, the jade lamp happened to be lit, and I wanted to help Uncle Li, so I hurriedly used the light to illuminate it. As a result, the jade lantern with an invincible grimace didn't work this time.
Uncle Li saw what I meant, and hurriedly said, "You stand back, this is not from the Yin Village, it's something from the forbidden land!" ”
Forbidden? Yin Village?
Uncle Li is really an insider, but now is not the time to ask these questions, I took back the jade lantern and adjusted my posture to ensure that I could pop out the light and extinguish it as soon as the thing came out.
But Uncle Li has already kicked more than ten feet, with his strength, if he is a living person, his hands can be torn off, but the thing is still wrapped around the old woman, and it feels like every time it is almost a little stronger.
Uncle Li realized that he couldn't kick that thing out with his own strength, so he turned around and shouted to Li Lin, "Open the seven-star coffin!" ”
Li Lin hurriedly went to the bag on his waist to take out the seven-star coffin, and halfway through it, he remembered that there was still a grimace in it, and shouted with a sad face: "Daddy, there is a grimace in the seven-star coffin, and it will come out as soon as it is opened." ”
Uncle Li was a little anxious and scolded: "You two boys, you are really not afraid of death!" Then he shouted, "With a wooden talisman!" ”
The old woman is now being suppressed by Uncle Li, but it hasn't been resolved for a long time, and no one knows what will happen.
Li Lin was also a little panicked, and he touched his body for a while. Uncle Li looked at it and scolded: "You coward, the wooden talisman is on Lao Tzu!" Li Lin was awakened by the scolding, hurriedly ran behind Uncle Li, and took out a black wooden plaque with lines from his waist.
When the wooden talisman arrived, Li Lin barely stopped, got under Uncle Li's squeaky nest, and put it on the old woman's face with the talisman.
When the old woman saw the wooden talisman, her eyes suddenly showed horror, her mouth hissed, and the skin of her mouth, which was originally covered with teeth, suddenly cracked, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, and bit at Li Lin.
Li Lin was so frightened that he trembled, and the hand he was holding didn't dare to fall.
"Cowardice, smash it for Lao Tzu."
Uncle Li scolded, I was also so nervous at this time, I kept adjusting my position, for fear that the lights would be crooked and I wouldn't be able to hit.
But as the so-called fear of something, I only flicked the light with my hand a few times, and I was completely uncertain.
Li Lin was yelled, closed his eyes and smashed the wooden talisman on the old woman's face, the moment he touched it, the wooden talisman glowed, accompanied by a thunderous explosion, Uncle Li also exerted his strength at the same time, and kicked out again.
With a snort, the old woman split in two, and something inside flew out, it was a monkey-like thing, black and gray, with hands and feet, and it was kicked and smashed against the earthen wall of the mill.
Almost at the same time, I popped out three lights in one go, but the thing smashed into the wall, stuck to Qiang like a gecko, and teleported, avoiding the three lights I popped up.
At this time, Uncle Li was still holding the old lady's hand, but it was no longer a human hand, but a cyan skin, Uncle Li saw that I had missed, so he quickly rolled up the cyan skin, put it on the grinding plate, and pulled out a wooden talisman from his waist and pressed it on it.
I missed three times, and my heart panicked, and the speed of the thing was so fast that the light that popped out was even more inaccurate. But fortunately, it popped out intensively, and it was also blocked in the mill, and Uncle Li couldn't be contacted for a while.
Uncle Li pressed the green skin, pulled me and Li Lin to retreat to the door, and blocked the door, before Uncle Li let go of us, grabbed a handful of black sawdust from his pocket, and used it to draw a talisman on the ground.
Seeing this, the monkey-like thing on the wall fell to the stone mill with a swish, and reached out to grab the green skin that Uncle Li pressed on it, and just as it was about to touch it, the wooden talisman emitted a blue light, it screamed, and quickly retracted its hand, but soon reached out again.
At this time, I had already reacted, and I had added blood to the jade lamp, and I didn't have time to aim, and I frantically catapulted the lights. The flame that flew out was said to be a lamp, but it was actually my blood, but the blood was ignited like lamp oil.
At this time, Uncle Li had already sprinkled a complete talisman on the ground with sawdust, and turned his head to me and said, "Ding Ning, set the sawdust on fire." ”
I didn't know what it would do, but I did it the first time.
