Chapter Twenty-Three: Into the Ghost Cellar (Part II)
The middle-aged man didn't say a word, just stared at me so closely, like a thief, I didn't dare to move anymore, for fear that he would blast me out at any time. But such a stalemate is not a problem, I must continue to explore, otherwise the purpose of my coming here will not be accomplished. After hesitating for a moment, I forced a smile and said, "Uncle, nothing has happened to your family recently, right?" ”
"Something? What's going on? The middle-aged man suddenly stared at me vigilantly, and then asked, "If it weren't for you coming, my mother wouldn't have to cook for you, then our family would be really fine." The implication is that I have found trouble for their family, and I am speechless. I reached out and scratched the back of my head, and then looked at the middle-aged man, who seemed to be unconcerned, just waiting for me to say goodbye.
I smacked my lips, and then smiled awkwardly: "By the way, uncle, isn't my aunt at home?" ”
Since this middle-aged man doesn't welcome me very much, I don't have to hold on anymore, just ask directly about the topic, my purpose is to find Niu Xiaofen, Niu Xiaofen is also the wife of this middle-aged man, and he can't say so much, as long as I see Niu Xiaofen, I can know the reason when I open my eyes. If it is really an illusion made by those evil spirits, I will be relieved, and naturally I will not cause chaos to this family again.
But I vaguely feel that things are not so simple, because most of the eyes of the earth mentioned by Lord Chenghuang exist in the courtyard of this family's house, does the eye of the earth have nothing to do with this family's family? For a moment, there were a lot of cranky thoughts in my mind, but soon, I found that the middle-aged man turned his head very uncomfortably and glanced at the inner room, then turned back to me and said lightly: "Oh, my wife is not feeling well, lying in the house!" ”
Unexpectedly, when he talked about his wife, his expression still moved, and his words were much softer, it seemed that he cared about Niu Xiaofen very much. I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with that aunt?" I also know a little bit about medicine, maybe I can help you, uncle! ”
Saying that I know a little about medicine is actually a fool's errand, where do I know what kind of medicine, I say this is nothing more than wanting to meet the living fairy Niu Xiaofen who is famous in Shiniu Village. The middle-aged man may have been shaken in his thoughts, and kept turning his head to look at the inner room, but after a while, his expression became firm again, and he shook his head and said: "No need, even if you know medical skills, you may not be able to cure her, she is not sick, but a ghost!" ”
"Hit the ghost?"
My eyes lit up, Huo Di stood up, but the middle-aged man's eyes widened in shock, and then, I continued: "Uncle, you have met the right person, if you want to talk about medical skills, my Taoist skills are not worth two pounds, but if you want to talk about the method of exorcism, I really know a little." Uncle, why don't you take me in to see how my aunt is doing, maybe I can really help a little? As I spoke, I stared at the middle-aged man with very firm eyes.
But seeing the middle-aged man standing up slowly, he seemed to be hesitating, but soon, the middle-aged man hesitated and asked, "You...... Are you really good at exorcism? ”
"Of course, uncle, you don't know yet, I am a Taoist priest of the Maoshan sect, and I have some ways to exorcise ghosts and catch evil spirits." In order to make the middle-aged man firm his trust in me, I had to brag a few words, after speaking, I hurriedly took out the bundle of fairy rope from the yellow cloth bag, but seeing the middle-aged man's face slightly frightened and retreated, I immediately explained: "Uncle, you don't have to be afraid, my rope is not to tie people, it is used to deal with ghosts and evil spirits." If my aunt is really possessed by demons, I can guarantee that I will help her get rid of her, and I will use this fairy rope to bind her, so that your family can return to normal life. ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man hesitated again, he turned his head to look at the stove house outside the door, and saw that the old woman had not yet cooked the meal, and he seemed to be unable to make up his mind for a while, hesitated for a long time, and then reluctantly nodded and said: "Since you are really a Taoist priest, then, then I believe you once, as long as you can help my wife exorcise ghosts, I will give you a big feast, and you will not get drunk and return!" When I got this sentence, my heart finally let go, and I thought that the middle-aged man would be very reluctant to come to his house to catch ghosts.
But it turned out to be a little comforting to me, so that I was able to hunt ghosts and exorcise evil spirits in this mansion in the name of justice. After thinking about it, I didn't say a word, I made an inviting gesture to the middle-aged man, signaling him to take me into the house to exorcise the ghost of his wife, the middle-aged man immediately turned around, stepped into the inner room first, and then dodged a passageway, signaling that I could go in. I frowned, my fingers tightly clutched the rope of the bundle, at this time, I must not be careless!
I don't know what kind of ghost is attached to that Niu Xiaofen, if it is a ghost who can walk through the sky, I can't be careless. As soon as I stepped into the house, I suddenly felt a cold breath, rushing to my face, my legs trembled, and I couldn't help but take a step back, at this moment, the middle-aged man looked at me blankly, and then asked: "Why didn't Mr. come in to exorcise ghosts?" ”
"Uh......"
Being asked by a middle-aged man made me embarrassed, I cleared my throat in embarrassment, and had to go inside again. I have to say that the yin and evil qi in this is simply dignified to the extreme, and with my current Taoism, it is almost impossible to resist, but now I have to go in if I don't go in, after all, I have already boasted out of Haikou, and more importantly, I will soon be able to see the true face of this living immortal Lushan, how can I give up halfway?
It's just that in this inner room, it is pitch black, as if there are tens of thousands of invisible silk threads, which bind me layer by layer, making me vaguely breathless. Just as I was standing in the room with two feet, I saw the middle-aged man immediately turn around and walk out, and close the door casually. I panicked, turned around and was about to knock on the door, and shouted urgently, "Uncle! You, why did you close the door? ”
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, only a dull trembling sound was heard outside, and the withered yellow light outside the crack in the door also disappeared abruptly. My heart fell into the abyss in an instant, and at this moment, I seemed to understand something, but I still couldn't believe it, because, because if the middle-aged man and the old woman had become ghosts, why didn't I find out in the first place? Thinking of this, I hurriedly opened the eye of heaven, but the center of my eyebrows seemed to be pressed by something, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break away, and my eye of heaven didn't seem to be able to open. This, what's going on?!
I didn't have time to think about it, I turned around in an instant, and glanced at the room in a daze. In this room, it seems to sink into the tomb of thousands of feet underground, there is no light, and the extremely thick yin and evil qi in it, like a flood beast, tried to engulf me in it, I gritted my teeth, slowly lifted a step, and immediately, I raised my arms and beat the bundle of fairy ropes out, and a deafening explosion suddenly resounded......
At this moment, it seemed that everything in the room was trembling, and in a trance, I seemed to see a faint light flickering not far away, but the yin and evil aura around me was still frantically devouring me. After a while, my footsteps came to an abrupt halt, because not far in front of me, a strange and bizarre picture appeared out of thin air.
It was as if countless sparks, twisted by an invisible force, were constantly circling in mid-air, forming a whirlpool the size of a millstone, and below the whirlpool, there was a figure lying down. I fixed my eyes and suddenly retreated sharply in fright, the lying figure was none other than the appearance of a middle-aged woman, and through the faint light, I could vaguely see her pale and bloodless face, could this woman be the Niu Xiaofen I was looking for?
She, she looks like she's dead, no matter how she looks! But what was that thing hovering above her body? I tilted my head slowly and looked head-on at the strange picture that seemed to be a whirlpool, and for a moment, my eyes widened in amazement...... It's like a person's big eyes, but it's not like it, frowning, it's come to this, I just want to find out what the hell this whirlpool-like thing is!
Thinking of this, he instantly knocked out the bundle of immortal ropes, but the moment the bundle of immortal ropes hit the whirlpool, there was a strange scene, and I saw that the bundle of immortal ropes was sucked into the whirlpool...... Moreover, that whirlpool is like a bottomless abyss, which is so weird! My heart suffocated suddenly, although I have seen many demons and monsters with Master in my life, and I have also seen very bizarre and strange formations, but I have never seen this kind of real and illusory thing.
Even, even this, it seems that it is far beyond the scope of my cognition, and should not exist in the real world at all. But if it is in the world of Taoism, it seems to make sense, put aside the nonsense in my mind, I forcefully withdrew the bundle of immortal ropes, but found that the other end of the bundle of immortal ropes seemed to be being dragged by something, no matter how much strength I used, I couldn't break free!
