Chapter 386: The Deep Pit Under the Water
"It's done!" I shouted, lit a handful of grass incense, and stuffed it into the hole left in the belly of the straw.
Misty smoke came out of the straw man's body, and I gave the straw man seven tricks.
I moved a newly-tied stand-in, and it felt soft, so I took out the rest of the grass and threw it into the stove pit.
"Yu Deshui, tell me, how many years has this big pit in front of your house existed here, and have there been any moths in it?" I patted the ash on my hand and said.
There was a burst of "Woo! The sound of crying, that Yu Deshui didn't speak, he cried first!
"Come on, I'm crying!" I said impatiently: "You answer my questions well, listen to me, and when the matter is over, I will send you to the Land Temple and go to the reincarnation underworld." β
"Young Master Bai, are you asking about this big pit in front of my house?" Yu Deshui said with a cry.
"Yes, now there are moths here, you have also seen it, these few people we came, now there are only me and Gu Chan left!"
I said, "You told me everything that happened before and after, including the fact that this big puddle was formed that year, and whether there were any strange things. β
"Uh-huh." Yu Deshui agreed, and slowly told the story about the big puddle in front of the door.
In the past, there was no such puddle at all, and it was also a flat land, and there were more than a dozen families scattered on the flat land.
That is, three years ago, one night, there was no sign, and suddenly I heard the sound of the sky collapsing, and all the houses trembled!
At first, everyone thought it was an earthquake, but when they came out, they saw that the ground had sunk!
More than a dozen families are gone, and there is such a big pit on the ground, and the pit is full of water.
This incident alarmed a lot of people, and many fortune tellers, diviners, and god-dancing people came to the small village.
After coming, they all circled around this big pit, but no one could say anything.
Later, I didn't know where it flowed from, saying that this big pit was a hole hole, and a big guy was going to be bred inside!
Yu Deshui's home lived at the back of the pit, and because it was far away, it avoided this catastrophe at that time.
In addition, nothing strange has happened in this big pit since then, and even no one has drowned in the past few years, so everyone doesn't care!
After listening to Yu Deshui's narration, I pondered for a while and said, "You are a ghost, you can go anywhere when your eyes are numb." β
"I want you to go into that pit and take a look, see if my two companions are there, and look at the other things, what are the other things in there, can you help me go and see?"
"Thisβ" As soon as I said that, this dead ghost was really energetic!
"I just want to know what happened to my daughter-in-law? If my daughter-in-law is well, then I will listen to your surprise. β
Hearing this dead ghost say this, I was really stunned!
Oh, yes! Didn't the daughter-in-law who got water just now let the reincarnation female ghost bring it to her, and also removed the evil fetus in her belly.
But then I don't know where the woman went.
Thinking of this, he turned around and asked Gu Chan: "Gu Chan, have you seen his daughter-in-law?" β
Gu Chan shook her head and said she didn't see it.
"No... It can't be in the water, right? "I remembered in confusion that after the tailed monkey emitted a puff of black smoke, then the frost-headed ghost mother and the reincarnated female ghost rushed to take the tailed monkey away, and then several of them disappeared!
Before I could finish my thoughts, the ghost of Yu Deshui took a step, "Whoosh! He ran out the door!
"You wait," I shouted from behind, "you can get out of this stand-in and go into the water for a while." β
This is too fast, and when Gu Chan and I chased it out, the straw man had already floated into the middle of the water!
As soon as I saw it, I beckoned Gu Chan to float in the middle of the water with her strength.
With this straw man stepping foot, I was also on the water, looking downward.
After a long time, the straw man began to move, and I knew that it was the ghost of Yu Deshui who had come back from the water.
Bent down directly, lifted the straw man under his feet in his hand, twisted his body, and returned to the shore.
Looking at the soaked straw skeleton, I took out the reconciled cinnabar from my pocket and redrew the facial features on the straw skeleton.
When I finished drawing, I picked up the straw skeleton again, shook it off and threw it off the water, and then put it on the ground.
"Tell me, what do you see down there?" I asked anxiously.
Yu Deshui's ghost shook his head and said that he hadn't seen anything.
"You... Why didn't you see anything? "Hearing the words of this dead ghost, I almost collapsed!
"There is still water down there, and this time I know why the water in this puddle is always so full, and there is a big hole under that water." The dead ghost said.
"The water in that big hole kept coming out, and it looked too deep, and I didn't dare to go in."
"Big hole, water!" I understand.
The people inside didn't disappear out of thin air, but they all went into the big hole.
That's a real problem!
If this is really like what this dead ghost said, then I can't drain this place even if I have a whole number of pumps!
It's over, thinking about the withdrawal of water and catching fish is in vain!
"Still, I saw a hole that seemed to lead horizontally." Yu Deshui's ghost spoke again.
"I went in and took a look, it was a small passage, I thought I was afraid that you would wait for me in a hurry, so I came back first."
"A hole in the side?" I thought about it for a moment and realized that it was the small passage that led to the fox hole.
Come on, we can't get it in the water now, so let's go down the little passage and have a look.
Summoning Gu Chan, she walked to the place where the Frost-headed Ghost Mother had brought us up just now, thinking about going into the hole that the Frost-headed Worm had made.
But when I got to that place, I saw that there were any holes, and they were all flat.
No way! Do you want to do that?
It's over, this damn thing waited for a detour to the mountain, and then walked up again from that fox hole, I'm afraid it was made by Wenbao and Cai'er's villains!
Just as I was worried, there was a frolicking sound in my ears, and seven ugly imps came out of the ground.
As soon as I saw this, my heart blossomed!
I was just about to call them out, but who knew that these things didn't even look at me, and turned around and ran into the water!
"Seven ghosts, what are you doing?" When I saw it, I hurriedly shouted: "Come back, I am your master, Bai Chengzu!" β
"Come back soon, I have something important, and I'm in trouble!"
"Huh?" The seven ugly imps looked back at me in unison, shook their heads and said they didn't know.
"Holy! It's really me, and you'll know each other when you come and see it. I said anxiously.
"Come here, come here!" Gu Chan hurriedly shouted on the side when she saw it: "Come here, take a look, do you know me, this is really my husband, your master!" β
After saying that, the big body flew up and pounced on an ugly ghost.
"Guchan, come back to me!" I shouted speechlessly.
Those seven ghosts are usually things that I can't even be stunned for, how dare you Guchan follow the hard move.
Sure enough, just as I imagined, Gu Chan was floating on the water in a daze, and the seven ugly ghosts were long gone!
Come on, I just looked at some hope, and it was gone.
I sighed and looked at the water in a daze!
After thinking about it for a while, the eyes were numb and stupid, so it was better to go into the mountain and walk through the fox hole again.
Thinking of this, he stood up and beckoned Gu Chan to go into the mountain.
"Master, I have opened a road for you, you come in and open it up, we can get the water out of this puddle, and at that time, the master will be able to catch the king!"
There was the screaming sound of the seven ghosts behind me, and I turned my head sharply, looking at the seven grinning ugly ghosts, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly!
Seeing me turn around, the seven ghosts fell back into the water.
After a short while, we saw the soil under our feet arch, and a big hole appeared, revealing the ugly little heads and melon seeds from the inside...
