Chapter 8: Patrol ghosts, evil dogs of the underworld
It's the first time I've seen zombies enter a ghost market. However, when it comes to the idea that the Black Whirlwind is different from ordinary zombies, it can be understood.
The ghost market in the world can accommodate all evil spirits, lonely ghosts, mountain spirits and ghosts, and even foxes and yellow skins that have become the climate. It's not strange to go in a few corpses possessed by powerful ghosts.
But in this case, how are we going to catch the Black Whirlwind back?
I don't care about Mr. Huang's commission of 1 million, but I take the reputation of the Yin and Yang store very seriously. Since Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua established the Yin and Yang store three years ago, these four words are simply a golden signboard, as long as they take the job, there is nothing that cannot be done.
The mountain wind was howling, and the hearts of the people mixed with the ghost fog blowing in the forest were cold. I squinted my eyes and stared at the deserted Miao Village opposite, and suddenly lowered my voice and said, brothers, are you interested in going to the ghost market?
Master Song lowered his voice and said, "Boy, are you crazy about money? Whoever goes to the ghost market in the world will die, although one million is more, you can earn it with your life, and you will not spend it with your life, and you will be in vain. ”
I interrupted him directly and said, you are also a well-known exorcist in the Hengshan area, as for being so timid? Besides, I'm not going for the million, we have to take advantage of the fact that the grandson of the Black Whirlwind has just come out of the coffin and hurry up to stop him.
If he really got something good in the ghost market and turned into a corpse demon corpse king or something, who would be responsible?
When I said this, the three of them were red-faced and bowed their heads and were silent. To put it bluntly, exorcists can indeed make money, but those who do our business pay more attention to accumulating virtue. If we let this happen and let it go, and more people will die in the future, then the cause and effect will be counted on our heads.
Even if it's not for money, you have to try it for the sake of cause and effect and peace of mind.
Although the ghost market in the world is known as that the living are not allowed to enter, and the dead are not allowed to go out, but that is only for ordinary people, since we are exorcists, we must have our own ways to blend in.
Song Zhong took out a dagger full of runes from his arms, gritted his teeth and said, Grandma, Lao Tzu is going to be killed by you little guys! Isn't it just a ghost city? Fuck it!
The ghost hunters in Hengshan have their own system, and they also have a great reputation in the Hengyang area. Because it is located in the eastern part of Hunan, there is also a competitive relationship with the corpse chasers in Xiangxi.
He didn't want to enter any human ghost market, but if he retreated, he wouldn't be in the circle after the news got out. Later, when the ghost hunters in Hengshan saw the corpse chasers in Xiangxi, they couldn't lift their heads.
Even for the sake of his inheritance and face, he had to go on such a trip.
As for the flower-haired brother and the long-legged girl, they can't wait for us to help. After all, they caused the matter, and we can go, but they can't.
The living people are particular about entering the ghost market, the yin qi in the ghost market is extremely heavy, and after the living person enters, the yin qi will gradually invade the body. Yang dissipates yin for a long time, and after a long time, the last stream of yang energy will be extinguished.
When people live, they breathe in and out, relying on the harmony of yin and yang, and when the yang energy is gone, people will naturally die.
As soon as the morning dawned, the spirit disappeared with the ghost market, but the body became stiff and died in the place where the ghost market once stayed.
I poured the Styx water in my hands, patted it on my left and right shoulders, and smeared it on my forehead. This was done to extinguish the three fires in the human body.
But every living person will have three fires on his body, one on his forehead and one on his left and right shoulders. When walking at night, the three fires echo each other, which can dispel those lonely souls and wild ghosts that do not enter the stream.
Therefore, if the lonely souls and wild ghosts want to get close to the living, they must shout behind them, and if the living people are unknown, they will look back, and the flames on their shoulders will be blown out, and then the evil will naturally take advantage of it.
Since we are going to pretend to be dead, the first thing to do is to extinguish the three fires on ourselves.
Everyone is an expert, and it takes minutes to extinguish three fires. After finishing the matter, we checked the guy in our hands and confirmed that there was no problem, and then walked towards the Miao village in the dark.
When I stood on a high place, I glanced left and right, and found that there were many ghosts around Miao Village, green fires, and misty ghosts in the forest, and I didn't know how many evil things were hidden.
I was secretly frightened when I saw it, the scale of this human ghost market really seems to be quite small, and I don't know how many lonely ghosts, wild ghosts, and mountain spirits and ghosts have been attracted.
The Miao village building is a very common stilted building among the ethnic minorities in the south. There are also a number of drum towers in each village, which are generally dedicated to the ancestors of the Miao people, and some special ones are also dedicated to the great god Chiyou.
When we entered the ruins of Miao Village, we could see broken timber and rotten bamboo everywhere, but there was not a single intact building. In the middle of the ruins, green light flickered, and countless strange and colorful lights lit up.
Some of these rays are phosphorus fires, some are ghost fires, and the main color is that kind of cold green. Countless vague shadows shuttled through it. Some of their bodies are vague and fluttering, and some of them are evil and unsmellable.
At the entrance to the ruins, there were two big dogs with ears up, the big dogs had their eyes closed, but their noses were sniffing, and when they saw us coming in, they immediately tilted their heads and leaned over.
The long-legged girl was a little scared, and subconsciously leaned towards the flower-haired senior brother, I lowered my voice and said, this is the dead dog of the Vicious Dog Village, only the ghost does not recognize the person. Don't talk later, otherwise you will vent your yang energy and you will be torn apart by the vicious dog!
Legend has it that when a person dies and enters the underworld, he has to pass through a place called Vicious Dog Village. The vicious dogs here are all unjustified deaths, or have been abused by humans to death, or died in car accidents, or have been skinned and eaten to death.
This kind of thing is extremely hateful to the living, and can smell the changes in the yin and yang breath. If you encounter a living person, you have to pounce on it and bite it. I can't imagine that there are dead dogs to act as gatekeepers in this ghost market in the world.
This level alone is enough to stop most of the living.
We extinguished the three fires on our bodies, and put the water of the River Styx on our foreheads, and the yang energy on our bodies was almost suppressed. The two vicious dogs circled around us a few times and didn't smell anything wrong.
I gestured to the three of them and walked forward.
This walk is equivalent to one foot entering the ghost gate, whether we can come out alive depends on our ability.
The ghost market is full of people and bustling. There is a long line of stalls and vendors on both sides, and near the ruins of Miao Village, there are also temporary rooms formed by dilapidated buildings.
On the road, there are also patrol ghosts carrying ghost knives, leading dead dogs from the vicious dog village to patrol back and forth.
These patrol ghosts are very arrogant, rampage in the crowd, if there are lonely ghosts and wild ghosts dare to stop, they will kick over on the spot, if they don't like the eye, the dead dog will pounce on it and bite wildly, until the other party is dying of biting before giving up.
I took out a red rope from my bosom, and said in my heart that if these bastards dared to provoke us, they would have to fight, and we couldn't let these vicious dogs gnaw all over our bodies.
Fortunately, the patrol ghost is also the master who bullies the weak and fears the hard, and when he saw the four of us with angry eyebrows, he didn't dare to provoke him, and after a whistle, he rushed forward with the vicious dog.
Song Zhong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, Yu Buren! I'm going to be miserable by you! This place is not for the living!
I was also a little worried in my heart, but I refused to fall into the reputation of the yin and yang shop, so I said hard, I'm afraid of a yarn! are all some imps who are not in the stream, if you really want to do it, Lao Tzu can beat ten of them at a time!
I'm a little sure if I can fight ten, but those vicious dogs like calves are probably very difficult to deal with, and if they do fight later, we have to find a way to get rid of those dead dogs.
After thinking about it, I pulled a red rope from my waist. This red rope is woven from the dismantling of the Buddhist robe, and the snake skin of the iron snake is mixed in the middle. Not to mention the sturdy and abnormal, it can also be used as a whip to whip people at critical times.
Looking at the lonely ghosts around me, I guess I can't bear my whip.
Although there is only one street in the ghost market, there are many makeshift buildings on both sides. Most of the buildings are places to sell things, and some are shops that serve blood food and yin wine.
In the time we've been here, Black Whirlwind has long since lost sight of which store to get into.
Song Zhong was a little impatient and said, Yu Buren will join me and search on the left, and the two of you will search on the right. If you find the Black Whirlwind, don't mess around, lure it out first!
The flower-haired brother and the long-legged girl said yes and went into the shop next to them. I glanced at Song Zhong and went into the shop on the other side.
The shop is a simple shed with a few tables in it. Behind one of the tables stood a gorilla-like creature with a bloody boar on the board, dead and bleeding all over the ground.
This guy is a mountain spirit, not a lonely ghost, but a creature with a heavy yin energy. During the Republican period, this thing was still very common, and it often attacked lone pedestrians on deep mountain paths.
Later, when the People's Republic of China was founded, a vigorous wolf-fighting campaign was launched all over the country. The wolf fighting campaign is not only limited to Inner Mongolia and Tibet, but also to the deep mountains of the interior.
The mountain spirit can be said to have affected the pond fish, a wolf-fighting campaign, forcing the mountain spirit into the deeper mountain forest, so that it is easy to see until now.
I didn't expect this thing to carry the wild boar that was caught and provide blood food for some lonely ghosts.
There is no concept of currency in the ghost market on earth, and it can only be bartered. The lonely ghost has nothing, so he exchanges it with the ghost qi on his body. The mountain spirit obviously enjoyed this eerie ghostly aura, and did not refuse to exchange the lonely ghost for the comer, and soon only a small half of the wild boar was left.
I looked a little disgusting, so I dragged Song Zhong to prepare for the next house, but Song Zhong stared at the mountain spirit motionless, and was anxious to be dragged by me, so he turned his head in a panic.
I saw that his face was pale and nervous, and my heart suddenly groaned, Master Song, what did he see? Scared like this?
Before I could react, the sound of tearing meat in the shed suddenly stopped, and when I looked up, I saw the mountain spirit crooked his neck, staring at us suspiciously.
Song Zhong hurriedly said, go! Come on!
