Chapter 10: The Bone Spirit and the Host

Old man Xia told me that in fact, every host is a curse. Because the bone spirit will gradually turn against the host in the process of growth, and at a certain time, the host will completely lose its mind, become bloodthirsty, tyrannical, and become the public enemy of decent people, especially those who practice Taoism and even those who practice martial arts, and the fate of each host is very miserable.

Later, in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a powerful host, who learned from Buddhism, Taoism and even witchcraft, and founded the method to suppress and alleviate the backlash of the bone spirit.

But since then, the host will look for a way to solve the problem of regurgitation, and also set the rules, the next host is determined by the previous host, before the bone spirit regurgitation, the host will find an heir, and leave a mark on it, this is also a special spell created by the great power of the Northern Song Dynasty, as long as there is this mark, no one else can fuse with the old bone, and Wei Yanzi actually took me as the heir when I was 8 years old.

After hearing this, I couldn't help but turn pale, full of indescribable hatred for Wei Yanzi, Old Man Xia noticed the change in my face, sighed and said: "Originally, Yanzi's designated heir was the son of the Bai family, but I don't know why he suddenly changed his mind and left the old man bone to you." ”

"The Bai family? The words she left for my mother are for us to meet people with the surname Bai in the future and run away because of this? ”

"Otherwise, what else can you do, this thing was originally left for the Bai family, you are equivalent to cutting off Hu halfway, and their Bai family will definitely not stop."

"Damn, why are they looking for me? What does this have to do with me? It makes it seem like I'm greedy for their things, listening to your tone, you must know the people of the Bai family, if you call them over, I will immediately return the old bones to them. I said angrily.

"You've all fused it, what's the use of saying this? And now you have just fused, and if you want to forcibly strip it out, you won't be able to live. Old man Xia said angrily.

"What then? I don't want this thing at all, and you say, since the old bones are so evil, why didn't those previous hosts destroy them? ”

"Whoever said it hasn't been destroyed, it can't be destroyed at all." Old man Xia changed a piece of toilet paper to block nosebleeds, "Those hosts in the past are not fools, what can you think of they can't think of?" That's what this thing is. Of course, there is a very important reason, according to legend, there is a big secret hidden in the old bones, when the bone spirit grows to a certain period of time, this secret will be opened, some people say that there is a shocking wealth hidden in it, and some people say that it is the elixir of immortality. ”

"That's the main reason." I said in a sarcastic tone.

This time I completely understood, wealth and health are everyone's most concerned things at all times, Qin Shi Huang mobilized 3,000 boys and girls for Xu Fu to take overseas to seek immortal medicine, isn't it just to survive. And money, a penny is not an empty word, just like me, if it weren't for the difficult life during this time, I would never have accepted the old bones handed over by Liu Liang last night, and naturally today's incident would not have happened.

Money is maintaining this society, but it is also corrupting this society, but no one can do without it.

"I guess a lot of those people before volunteered to be hosts, right?"

"Some people do, but not all." Old man Xia said embarrassedly: "Whether it's earth-shattering wealth or immortal elixir, the temptation is too great. This is also the reason why each generation of hosts did not chase and kill when they first fused with the old bones, and they also wanted to see if this generation of hosts could reveal the secrets of the old bones. ”

I was noncommittal to his words, and asked, "Since you said that no one interfered when you just fused with the old man's bones, then what happened to the female ghost in white tonight?" She kept asking me to hand over my old bones. Doesn't it mean that without the approval of the previous host, it would be useless for others to get the old bones? ”

"Because this time there is more than one heir to the old bone, the swallow has left a mark on the kid of the Bai family when he went to the Bai family, just when he is old, the swallow will strip the old bone out and give it to him, but then the swallow went to Xin'an, and made an heir, that is you, since then the swallow has disappeared, and the old man has not appeared, under normal circumstances, at the latest at the age of 20, the heir has to fuse the old bone, you see how old you are this year."

"You mean, the female ghost in white was sent by someone from the Bai family? What about Hat Alley? It's also the people of the Bai family who are making a ghost? What were you doing in Hat Mouth Lane at the time? ”

I asked a series of questions, Old Man Xia was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "It's not from the Bai family, and it has something to do with the Bai family, the female ghost in white and the ghost in the alley use the same ghost control method, this technique is called the ancient bridge ghost attraction technique, which is a branch of the Nanyang head lowering technique, and it is a very evil ghost raising technique." ”

It is said that the ghost keeper who learns the ancient bridge ghost attraction technique will raise many poisonous insects, snakes and ants together, and then throw the living person inside, be bitten by insects, and when the person is dying, the ghost keeper will fish out the person, apply a special potion to hang his life, and then bury him alive in the middle of some bridges, trampled by thousands of people, and at a certain time will be resentful and condensed into a powerful ghost, which is used by the ghost keeper.

I shuddered when I heard this, and it was hard to imagine that in modern society, there would really be a ghost keeper who tortured a living person like this, died a miserable death, and was enslaved after death. For a moment, they were full of anger towards this Bai family, they didn't treat people as human beings at all, and they simply lost their conscience.

Seeing my mood, Old Man Xia sighed and said, "You better take care of yourself first, if you are caught by the Bai family, your fate will not be much better." ”

I was choked by his words, and I could only sulk, and when I thought of the ancient bridge ghost trick he said, I felt my scalp tingle, and I couldn't help asking: "If there really is such a person, does the police care?" ”

Old man Xia glanced at me, his eyes seemed to say, how could you ask such a childish question, but he still replied: "The Bai family is not as simple as you think, and do you know how many people disappear every day in the country?" Can the police take care of it? These ghost keepers are not stupid, they will not engage powerful people, if a beggar disappears in Xin'an one day, will you pay attention to him? Who cares if this beggar is dead or alive? ”

I was silent, not wanting to agree with his words but unable to find a reason to refute them, maybe the world is like this, living under the light all the year round, it is difficult to understand how dark the dark side is.

"By the way, you haven't answered me yet, what were you doing in Hatmouth Lane?" I didn't want to dwell too much on the ghost keeper, so I changed the subject.

"What else can be done? Follow you. Old man Xia said casually.

"Follow me?" I looked at him strangely, and said in my heart What kind of habit are you, you want to play the tail line to find beautiful women, what do you mean by following me.

"I followed you when you were taken away by the police in Danguiyuan, and you went to the police station to come out and go to the blue waterfront with a bald head, and then eat at the night market, I know everything. Don't look at me like this, the reason why I am with you is because I found the breath of the bone spirit in Danguiyuan, and as soon as I got there, I heard that there was a murder, and I didn't see the body, but I guess it may be related to the old bones, and then I saw you taken away by the police, thinking if you would know something. ”

"Can you detect the breath of the bone spirit?" I asked, surprised.

"This is not an uncommon thing, there are many geniuses and powers in the host, although the final secret of the old bone has not been revealed, but other places have also studied it almost the same, so the host has created a spell to locate the location of the old bone, as long as the bone spirit appears, it will be known by some people immediately."

Hearing him say this, I took a breath, "Your spell is too rebellious, and it took less than a day for all the to come to the door." ”

"It's not that accurate, and there is a distance limit, I can only find the approximate location, mainly because of the homicide, when I followed you, I wasn't sure if you had old bones, so tonight in Maokou Lane, the person who performed the ancient bridge ghost trick behind him was just testing you at first, but I didn't expect the bone spirit to really appear, you think about it, who else has told the pattern on your chest."

As soon as he reminded me like this, I immediately remembered that in addition to those policemen, it was Xu Dewei and Li Hao, so I told me about the blue waterfront.

I think it's Li Hao from Jiangcheng, his eyes are very similar to the eyes of the leather shoe man I met in Maokou Alley, as long as I recall those lifeless eyes, I can't help but feel my heart beating.
