Chapter 11: A Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night
In a daze, there were bursts of footsteps outside, as if the cavalry was coming, the momentum was very powerful, and even Master Wang sat up from the bed.
"Xiao Zhao, did you hear any sounds outside?"
Zhao Zhun didn't speak, but pointed out the window with his finger, and at this moment, a blue light emanated from outside, and Master Wang seemed to realize something? Motioned for Zhao Zhun to hold his breath.
After about five minutes, the sky turned dark again.
"Master Wang, what was the situation just now?"
I saw Master Wang walk to the window, gently pull it open, and point to the fragmented light on the ground, telling the story.
It turns out that this is a hundred ghosts walking at night, and under normal circumstances, only during the Midyear Festival will have such a big formation, like the situation just now, it should be that something happened in the underworld.
Zhao Zhun didn't quite understand what Master Wang's words meant, but he felt that when the light shone in just now, his heart was very depressed, and there was a faint force that dragged him out.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard outside.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Master Wang hurriedly closed the curtain and hurriedly threw a sentence at Zhao Zhun: "You must hold your breath and don't let the outside things find out, otherwise the consequences will be very troublesome." ”
The sound approached step by step, and then there was silence.
Zhao Zhun wanted to know where that footstep had stopped, and he also wanted to see what was going on, it was really uncomfortable to hold his breath like this.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, two voices came from outside.
"Are you sure that the power just came from here? If we make a mistake, the ghost will never let us go? ”
"That's right, don't worry, when I passed by here just now, there was a very powerful force that attracted us, I don't know if it's the thing the ghost king is looking for."
Ghost King?
Zhao Zhun read it silently in his heart, and when he heard the conversation between these two little ghosts, cold sweat began to ooze from his forehead, and it turned out that these ghosts also felt it, I don't know what will happen next?
The sound of footsteps appeared outside the window again, but he was very careful, even a little angry, why did the feeling that he had appeared appear now, but now it has disappeared.
The two imps began to quarrel outside, but soon understood the situation, and planned to search for each family in this area, and they would always be able to find relevant clues.
However, Zhao Zhun had to suffer, and he could only breathe a sigh of relief after letting the two little ghosts go away.
This kind of time, like a year, almost a quarter of an hour later, Master Wang's voice came from the daze: "Xiao Zhao, you are okay!" They're gone. ”
Zhao Zhun breathed a deep sigh of relief and sat up from the bed with a snort.
There was already a hazy sunrise outside the window, and it was about to dawn! This night was noisy, and both of them were in a state of fear, even Master Wang, although he had his own plans in his heart, but this situation was unexpected.
Zhao Zhun put on his coat and sat directly in front of Master Wang's bed, and asked some questions about the night walk of the hundred ghosts.
Legend has it that on the first day of the first month of each year, the subday of February, the noon day of March and April, the day of May and June, the day of July and August, the day of September and October, and the night of November and February, there will be a night walk of the hundred ghosts, which is called "Hyakki Night Walking Day"
Although it is spread from Japan, there will also be related situations in some more remote places, such as this village, which is very close to the underworld, so it will not only come out during the Midyear Festival.
The villagers here are also very strange, but as for where they are, there is no evidence at all.
It's just that this ghost is a ghost that the ghost king is very optimistic about, its ability is super strong, all the weak people in the underworld, almost all the weak will be eaten by the hundred ghosts, in order to avoid dealing with the hundred ghosts, so many ghosts are very attentive to the underworld.
Hundred ghosts, in the human world, is not allowed to be disturbed in the slightest, but when it encounters a powerful person, it will choose to take the initiative to approach, once the person who is targeted by the hundred ghosts, there will be no good end.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhun took a deep breath of cold air, could it be that the person the two little ghosts had been looking for just now was him?
Master Wang was a little happy in his heart, but also a little worried, for fear that Zhao Zhun would be targeted by the ghosts of the underworld, and it would be quite troublesome to start at that time.
In the morning, I got up and had a simple meal.
Liu Feng took Zhao Zhun and Master Wang to Da Niu's house, and Da Niu looked dying at the moment, only to see Master Wang say a word to Zhao Zhun when Liu Feng was not paying attention.
"This man is dead! Let's be careful! ”
Zhao Zhun was slightly stunned, he was sure that he had heard it right.
This big cow is indeed lying on the bed, and there is still a breath of hanging, how can he already die!
Now Master Wang's words, Zhao Zhun is becoming more and more confused about what they mean, if a person dies, he will be out of breath at all, could it be that Master Wang is also beginning to hallucinate now.
Seeing this, Master Wang just said that he would talk in detail in the evening.
Zhao Zhun didn't ask much, but sat next to Da Niu and listened to Liu Feng and Da Niu talking.
"Da Niu, you tell them what you experienced on Cuiping Mountain, maybe these people can save your life."
After listening to Liu Feng's words, I saw Da Niu's head glance slightly towards Zhao Zhun, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, only to hear a crooked sound, and his eyes were wide open.
The mother of the big cow saw it very clearly from the side, and then said: "My son! Then he passed out.
Da Niu's situation was very evil, his gaze was just opposite Zhao Zhun's, as if everything was arranged, and Zhao Zhun's reaction at that time was already soaked with cold sweat!
Liu Feng sighed deeply and waved his hand to Master Wang and Zhao Zhun, signaling that it was better to leave first in this situation.
In private, Zhao Zhun said the doubts in his heart.
It turned out that Master Wang had practiced a lot of spells before, so he could see some things, but when they entered the door, there was only one soul on Da Niu's body, and the remaining three souls and six spirits were no longer there.
That is, according to Liu Feng's words, when Da Niu came back, he had already reached the point of dying, and the things on his body were slowly sucked up by the old woman who Da Niu met.
Liu Feng saw that Zhao Zhun and Master Wang's faces were not very good-looking, and he explained a lot along the way, and even kept saying that he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen all of a sudden.
Actually, in addition to this clue of the big bull, there are some other clues.
Before Master Wang could express his position, Zhao Dao said, "Master Wang, I want to take a look around alone, and you and Liu Feng should go together!" ”
Liu Feng looked very embarrassed, and Master Wang was also helpless, so he nodded and left with Liu Feng.
Zhao Zhun looked nearby, this village is not ordinarily strange, it is still sunny when he gets up in the morning, but after noon, the sky begins to slowly darken.
It's a bit like rainy weather, but there's some heat in the air, and it's not going out.
Suddenly, Zhao Zhun seemed to remember something.
began to think about it, where he saw the black smoke yesterday, he began to ponder the direction around, and just when an old lady passed by, he saw Zhao Zhun walking up directly.
"Hello Auntie, did you hear a strange sound last night?"
Before this, the aunt couldn't wait to look at Zhao Zhun when she saw this situation, and when she heard this question, her face changed suddenly, and she didn't even have time to speak, she just waved her hand and left in a hurry.
Zhao Zhun felt very strange, and he didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this problem, but he had a faint hunch in his heart that the matter of black smoke must be related to last night's night walk of the hundred ghosts.
In desperation, Zhao Zhun returned home first, while Liu Feng's wife was busy in the kitchen, and when she saw Zhao Zhun also took a look, she continued to work on the things in hand.
Zhao Zhun thought that since the people outside were reluctant to say it, he might as well ask some people at home.
This time, in order to avoid the situation like last time, Zhao Zhun deliberately thought of a way.
He went to the kitchen, helped wash the vegetables, and then said, "Sister-in-law, what time is it today!" ”
I saw that Liu Feng's wife's expression was slightly touched, and it took nearly a minute before she said: "No. 4!" ”
Then he didn't care about Zhao Zhun anymore, No. 4, this number turned around in Zhao Zhun's mind, it is now April, no wonder there will be a situation of a hundred ghosts walking at night.
The same thing will happen tonight, but I don't know if I'll be as lucky as I was yesterday.
Because of the remoteness of this place, every household uses oil lamps, which makes Master Wang and Zhao Zhun very unaccustomed to it, and they can't ask any clues here.
Zhao Zhun had no choice but to rely on the impression in his memory yesterday to find that place little by little.
When he arrived here, the sky was covered with dark clouds and it was raining heavily, Zhao Zhun cursed in his heart, and ran towards the place where there was smoke before, hoping to find a place to hide from the rain.
Sure enough, there is a large house not far from this tree, which looks like an ancestral hall from the outside.
Zhao Zhun put on his hat, and then trotted all the way to the ancestral hall, a gust of cold wind whistled in his face, and the rain outside the door became heavier and heavier.
Zhao Zhun looked around and found that the ancestral hall was full of oil lamps, and what was even more strange was that there were many rankings on it, and a large part of them were children's names, and these children were all young children.
Doubts appeared in Zhao Zhun's mind again, this village was full of doubts, I don't know what clues Master Wang has, but what kind of turmoil will happen in this village next.
