Chapter 31: The Ghost Who Eats the Souls of Young Children
After learning of the strange death of the livestock overnight, Xia Feng feels that the story is as magical as the X-Files!
Ning Caijun continued: "At first, the villagers thought it was some kind of plague, so they asked the veterinarian to come to check on it, and later the veterinarian also said that the death of this livestock was simply unheard of! β
"Didn't your town invite a Taoist priest? Can't they find the clues? β
Ning Caijun nodded: "They found the ghost's lair, but only two of the five Taoist priests returned to the town alive." β
"! That goblin is so powerful? β
Although Ning Caijun felt that Master Yan in front of him was speaking too roughly, he also thought that it was because the master was different, so he told Xia Feng about the recent events in Qingshui Town!
Ning Caijun's father, a magistrate in Jinhua Township, naturally had to travel around after the earthquake to inspect the damage of the villagers.
When he learned that the livestock in captivity of the villagers were dying, Ning Caiqing vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but as a parent official, he had too many things to deal with, so he ordered his subordinates to triple the number of patrols at night.
However, despite the increase in the number of patrols, the villagers' livestock still died the next day, and the death was still strange.
Seven days later, on the eighth day, the villagers' livestock were safe, but a 7-year-old boy disappeared overnight in his bed.
In the beginning, everyone just thought that children were playful, or boys had sleepwalking disorder and left home in the middle of the night.
However, this phenomenon also continued to increase and occur in the following nights.
After a night has passed, at least one or two children will be inexplicably missing in the second village.
Although Ning Caiqing is a scholar, he has heard his father talk about an adventure when he was young, and he has also investigated the condition of Yan Feiyun in the temple of Lanruo Temple in many ways.
Because of this, when Ning Caiqing noticed that the things in the town were related to ghosts, the first thing he thought of was to ask Yan Feiyun to help in the town.
However, at this time, the oldest Liu Zhutou came up with an idea: there is a Taoist temple on Wanshou Mountain in Ping'an Town next door, and there are some Taoist priests who practice the Fa living in it, if you can ask those Taoist priests to come over to help, you should be able to get rid of the ghosts that plague the town.
Compared with Lanruo Temple, Wanshou Mountain is nearly half the distance.
Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, of course, you should seek the help of the nearest capable person.
So, Ning Caiqing sent Liu Zhutou to Wanshou Mountain overnight and invited five Taoist priests to return to Jinhua Town.
After several days of searching, the Taoist priests finally found the ghost hiding in Pear Blossom Mountain.
Subsequently, those Taoist priests collected a large amount of black dog blood in the village, and then set off towards the Lihua Mountain outside the town at noon in the bright sun two days ago.
Seeing the confident appearance of the five Taoist priests when they entered the mountain, the villagers thought that the ghosts would definitely be eliminated.
While the villagers waited left and right, two of the Taoist priests who had entered Lihua Mountain together finally returned to the town, but they had been seriously injured, one lost a hand, and the other lost a leg, which was very miserable.
According to the two Taoist priests who came back, the ghost was so powerful that the five of them tangled with him on the cliff for a night, and as a result, the three fellow brothers lost their lives, and only they survived until dawn and escaped.
The two Taoist priests were already very weak at that time, and Ning Caiqing had to ask his subordinates to hurriedly find a doctor for treatment.
The Taoist priest had told Ning Caiqing before he fell asleep that they should return to the Taoist temple and tell their master about the matter of Jinhua Town, maybe the old Taoist priest had a way to deal with the ghosts of Lihua Mountain.
Ning Caiqing had no choice but to tell Liu Zhutou to go to the Taoist temple in Wanshou Mountain again and invite the masters of the Taoist priests to come to Jinhua Town.
At the same time, Ning Caiqing also remembered Yan Feiyun who lived in Lanruo Temple, so he asked his son, Ning Caijun, to rush to Lanruo Temple overnight.
After listening to Ning Caijun's words, Xia Feng finally understood the whole story.
"In other words, that ghost is still hiding in Peach Blossom Mountain? Have you ever seen the true face of that goblin? β
Ning Caijun shook his head: "It is estimated that except for those five Taoist priests, no one has the courage to go out of their way to see the ghost side, right?" β
"And how many children have been missing in your town so far?"
Ning Caijun sighed: "There are already 15 missing, all of them are children around 4-11 years old!" I guess the goblin will come to town again tonight to steal the children. β
"To tell you the truth, the condition of those children is only bad luck! I once heard Moyu say that some ghosts specialize in eating the souls of boys and girls as a way to improve their practice. β
After listening to what Xia Feng said, Ning Caijun suddenly covered his mouth in horror: "This is too cruel, isn't it?" They're just kids! β
"It is precisely because they are innocent children that their souls are so pure and pure! I heard that every time the ghosts absorb enough souls of seventy-seven forty-nine children, their cultivation will be raised to a new level! It seems that the ghosts are very tricky this time! β
"Master, you have to save our town, if the ghost sucks the souls of 49 children, I am afraid that he will harm the children of other places by then!"
Xia Feng nodded: "Don't worry!" The reason I'm here is to relieve you of all the dangers you have encountered! Anyway, we've been flying for a long time, right? Haven't you arrived in your town yet? β
Ning Caijun pointed to the front and said, "Soon, you can see the landform of the town by flying over the two mountains in front of you!" I guess after a quarter of an hour of flight, I can go to the yamen to meet my father! Master, this paper talisman is so powerful that it saves me most of the time I need to walk! Thankfully, it's only noon, and with you, we can all have peace of mind tonight! β
After hearing this, Xia Feng secretly said in his heart: Don't be at ease so soon! I haven't even seen that ghost, maybe when the momentum is not right, I'll be the first to escape!
After a few momentsβ
Xia Feng and Ning Caijun fell from the sky and landed on the patio of the yamen.
The yamen in the yamen were patrolling outside at the moment, so there was no figure in the yamen.
Under the leadership of Ning Caijun, Xia Feng went to the hall behind the yamen.
From a distance, I saw a few people sitting in the hall.
Ning Caijun said to himself: "Strange, listening to the voice that came seems to be a stranger, what is my father talking to that stranger?" With that, he quickened his pace and walked towards the hall.
After approaching the hall, Xia Feng saw that there were four people in the hall.
"Dad, I'm inviting Master Yan back!" After Ning Caijun entered the hall, he spoke respectfully to one of the middle-aged people.
Xia Feng saw that the middle-aged man was dressed in a black shirt, very thin, and his eyebrows were very similar to Ning Caijun, and he heard him call the middle-aged man his father. It seems that the middle-aged man is Ning Caiqing!
Just as Xia Feng had guessed at the beginning, his consciousness was indeed attached to a middle-aged man named Yan Feiyun in the secret realm now.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, Xia Feng in front of him is a tall and thin, and majestic middle-aged man!
