Chapter 10: Behind the Monsters
I put away the unsuitable thoughts in my heart, pulled Bao'er to Hu Botao, and introduced her: "Bao'er, this is my talisman Hu Botao, you can call her Sister Botao." โ
Bao'er doesn't seem to be so scared now, after all, she had seen Chang Xiangjiu and Chang Wanfa not long ago, and at that time, the Chang family fairies in that room were all evil, and Hu Botao in front of him looked fine-skinned and tender, so he was much more acceptable than those gangs.
"Bo, Sister Botao." Boa grabbed my arm and shouted timidly, then added, "You look so good." โ
I was secretly laughing in my heart, Bao'er is really good at talking. I used to have a buddy who told me that if you are close to someone you don't know, you will praise him for being handsome for a man, and you will praise her for being beautiful for a woman, which is right.
What shocked me was that Hu Botao, who has always been the female version of King Kong Barbie, didn't know how to change his personality today, and after looking Bao'er up and down, he actually praised: "You are also very beautiful, and you are blind when you stand with this kid." โ
I rolled my eyes when I heard this, do you have to hurt me if you praise her, why are we blind when we are so worthy of standing with me? Besides, now is the time for you two to be here for the pageant?
Although I slandered Hu Botao in my heart, I didn't dare to say it, but asked her with a hippie smile: "Sister Botao, don't care what you say, I'm relieved when you come." You see, it's not too early, shouldn't I go home and sleep? โ
Hu Botao glanced at me, and then said, "It's a little difficult. โ
I didn't understand what she meant, but I didn't think she was joking, so I asked her, "What's a little hard?" It's just a ghost hitting the wall, you can take the two of us out. โ
Hu Botao glanced at me, sneered and said to me: "I usually tell you to cultivate hard but you don't listen, if I have your grandmother have to beat you up." The ghost hits the wall to confuse people is to make you turn in a circle without discerning the direction, you can't go out when you go down, but you don't get in the way when you go up, this is a ghost hitting the wall? โ
I was stunned by Hu Botao's question, and then asked her with a sad face: "What is that not a ghost hitting the wall?" โ
Hu Botao asked me, "Do you remember what happened at the gate of the cemetery?" How did you get in? โ
I heard Hu Botao ask, and immediately remembered that I went to the cemetery to look for zombies, when I walked to the cemetery gate and was coaxed, but no matter how I walked, I couldn't walk, no matter how I turned around, it was the cemetery gate, and I climbed in in desperation. I suddenly felt a little creepy when I thought about this, why was that scene so similar to today? I still remember that Hu Botao told me later that it was the formation set up by her and Chang Xiangjiu, in order to catch the little girl in black of the cult.
Thinking of this, I asked Hu Botao in disbelief: "You mean, this is a formation?" Is all this artificial? โ
Seeing that I understood, Hu Botao nodded at me with a gloomy face. I suddenly remembered all the things that had happened after the hospital, and suddenly I realized the strangeness in it.
When I entered the hospital gate in the evening, the three pregnant women jumped off the building together, and I looked up and saw a dark shadow. Then Bao'er and I went to see Li Yating, and Li Yating was all kinds of abnormalities and dragged us until midnight. After leaving the hospital room door, we both lost our sense of time in the stairwell, when our watches began to turn in circles. The two of us found that we couldn't get down, so we went up to the rooftop, and the black shadow just now appeared, wanting to get on Bao'er's body. I'm not entirely sure if the black shadow I was about to attack on Bao'er was the same thing as the one I looked up at earlier, but I felt almost the same. What does all this mean?
I felt a chill and a mess in my head, so I simply asked Hu Botao: "You have been on me just now?" โ
Hu Botao glanced at me, and then said as a matter of course: "Isn't this nonsense, Chang Xiangjiu has been recalled to the mountain in the past few days, he is not left with me, old lady, I have been guarding you all day long, the reason why you called me just now and I didn't answer is because I was afraid that that thing would find out about my existence." โ
When Hu Botao talked about "that thing", her eyes were obviously disgusted, and she continued to say to me: "In addition to being able to confuse people, that thing can at most be able to reach the body of a person with extremely low yang fire, and other than that, it is a waste. But the only thing is that it is fast and difficult to catch, I was afraid that it would find me, but I didn't expect it to run away in the end..."
Hu Botao said with a look of regret, but I heard the content from her words. The "thing" in her mouth should be the black shadow just now, and from the meaning she expressed, you can tell that she knows that thing. The most important thing is that if Hu Botao had been with me, then she should have seen all the things before, I don't understand that Hu Botao may be able to.
So I immediately asked her, "Sister Botao, are you talking about that black shadow, what is that thing?" โ
"You've heard of it, right?" Hu Botao looked disgusted when he mentioned this thing.
When I heard her ask, I was shocked, and asked Hu Botao tremblingly: "You mean that thing just now is the son of Emperor Zhuan?" โ
I used to hear about the origin of the dragon from a book, it is said that the ancient god Emperor Zhuan had three sons, but all of them died, and one became a malaria ghost to spread malaria. There is also a child ghost who specializes in catching children. The other is hidden in Ruoshui, and the appearance of the dragon is like that of a three-year-old child, with red eyes, long ears, a black and red body, and black and shiny hair. Despite its good looks, this monster often uses deceptive tricks at night to lure pedestrians into falling into the river.
But I don't think the thing I saw just now is similar to what is described in the book, and the thing just now is completely black, like a big briquette. I've never seen long ears, let alone hair.
"What are you talking about, you don't look at those nonsense things in the future, and don't listen to the wind and rain, I tell you, the karma you make now will be followed in the future."
Hu Botao's nose is not a nose and his face is not a face, and he lectured me, and then told me: "The charm is actually three things, and the spirit is a kind of mountain spirit, also called a mountain mandrill. The charm is a kind of ghost, and there are not many of them now, and they can only become charms after the death of those who did not abide by women's morals and were killed. This monster is the most disgusting, because this thing is formed by all kinds of resentful spirits rubbing together, and most of them are artificial. โ
Although I don't understand what it means to be formed by kneading together, I feel a little disgusted when I hear this word, and Bao'er on the side frowned when she heard it, and I guess I have a picture in my head.
I also quickly dissipated the disgusting thought in my mind, and asked Hu Botao: "No matter what it is, you have beaten it away, even if there is a formation below, since you can set up such a formation in the first place, you will be done if you break it again?" โ
Hu Botao frowned and said to me: "You have to find the formation eye to break the formation, I have been with you for so long and I haven't seen where the formation eye is." Before I went to the hospital, I saw the monster on the roof of the building, and the three people were fascinated by it. At such a distance, I can't do anything about it. Later, when you two went upstairs, Bao'er and her friend were possessed by this thing, deliberately delaying the two of you, and I was afraid that it would find out that it had been hiding in your mind. It wasn't until it shot at Bao'er just now, and I saw that the distance was almost there, but I didn't expect it to run away after only one slap. โ
I heard Hu Botao say this, and it was really similar to what I guessed in my heart, so I asked her, "So this dragon is specifically for the two of us?" And that formation, who didn't we offend? โ
Hu Botao shook his head thoughtfully and said to me: "When I saw that dragon spirit attached to Bao'er and her friend before, I thought it was coming for the two of you, but then I saw the formation in the stairwell and realized that it was not. โ
Hu Botao saw my bewildered face and explained to me: "That formation is aimed at everyone, I guess the three pregnant women before just couldn't get out of the rooftop, and then they were confused by the dragon and jumped off the building." โ
When Hu Botao said this, I also felt that something was wrong, if it was for me and Bao'er, why did you attack those three pregnant women? But if this formation is aimed at everyone, then when the three pregnant women jumped off the building, there were still many people in the hospital, and there must have been more than just the three of them who took the stairs, why were others okay?
Hu Botao said that she didn't know very well, but the dragons generally confuse people, and the firepower must be low to a certain extent, because the dragons are man-made, and most of the Taoists are not high. The pregnant woman's own yang fire is evenly distributed with the fetus in the womb, so it is easy to be confused by the spirit. Other people may have taken the stairs, but I guess they won't be able to do it after going to the rooftop. As for why Li Yating deliberately delayed the two of us, Hu Botao couldn't figure it out.
The sprite is man-made, and the formation is arranged by people, which means that everything we experience today is intentional by the person behind it.
I looked at Hu Botao, and felt a little uneasy, if Chang Xiangjiu was also here, I would definitely ask him, if Chang Xiangjiu said that he could try, I would definitely agree to find out the person behind it. I've been in contact with Chang Xiangjiu a few times, and if he thinks he can't take it, he's definitely as cowardly as me.
But I didn't dare to ask Hu Botao at all, this eldest sister is a natural militant, I'm afraid that she won't be able to do it and compare with others. Now that Bao'er is still by my side, I have to rely on Hu Botao to protect me, God knows if Hu Botao can take care of Bao'er if something goes wrong.
After thinking about it, I still felt that I should not cause this trouble for the time being, so I asked Hu Botao: "Now that we are in the Ming family, we are simply a burden, is there any way to let the two of us out?" โ
Hu Botao pondered for a while and said to me: "There are three ways, the first is that we wait until dawn on the rooftop, and it is estimated that no one can do dirty things in broad daylight." The second is to find the eye of the formation, break the formation, and we swagger out, but it is possible to run into the people who set up the formation. โ
I saw Hu Botao stop here, and then seemed to be looking at what I thought. I thought to myself, eldest sister, didn't you say that there are three ways, these two are obviously not advisable, who knows what else can be done when the morning dawns, and besides, Bao'er and I can't get in touch with the family, and now I don't know what the two families are in a hurry. If you want to say that I want to go to the people who set up the formation, I am 10,000 unwilling, after all, I am still youngยทยทยทยทยทยท
