Chapter 13 The Water Ghost Drags People
"Lord Hades?"
I listened to the clouds, I am an ordinary office worker who has never even seen a ghost, let alone any adults in the underworld, even the glutinous rice and black dog blood used to catch ghosts were bought by Guo Bufan yesterday to try my hands.
"Boy, don't you really know that you have the aura of that adult on you?" Granny Zhong stood up and re-held the string holding the small iron bucket in her hand.
I shook my head, I couldn't talk to her anymore.
"Hmph", Granny Zhong's hideous face slowly calmed down, "Everyone knows that if a living person talks to me, half a life will be gone." Originally, you were the same, even this half-hung ghost catcher should die together today. ”
"Hey...... Is this providential. I don't know why you have that grown-a-like aura on you. I can't kill you, my wife doesn't want to anger the adults, but ......"
Granny Zhong looked at me with sharp eyes: "The collision between you and me just now has exhausted all the adult breath on your body. When you encounter ghosts in the future, you're just an ordinary person......"
"簌簌, 簌簌......"
"Bones, bones......"
A cold wind blew, and Granny Zhong and the iron bucket she was pulling disappeared without a trace in front of me.
The mysterious and terrifying Granny Zhong is gone, I know that if it weren't for the breath of that underworld lord on my body, Guo Bufan's little life and I would have been explained here today.
However, I desperately recalled that I was an ordinary urban white-collar worker, working at the bottom of society in an ordinary company. Even if I work for five years and buy a small house of 80 square meters with a down payment, it is not too bad to mix among my peers, but when did I know the underworld?
Who is the Lord of the underworld, he is still a man or a woman. How could he, who was so powerful that he could scare away Granny Zhong with just my breath, knew me?
I'm really not impressed!
Thinking of Granny Zhong's words, I suddenly realized that the old lady ghost and the long-haired female ghost were burned off by me on the ghost bus yesterday, and it was probably the breath of the adults in the underworld on my body that affected them......
"Oh, brother, where's the thousand-year-old ghost?" Master Guo woke up.
There was a "bang", and he pulled out a long, golden nine-section whip from his waist. At the same time, several paper symbols with different symbols were held in his other hand.
"Brother Guo, are you awake?" I lifted him up.
"You stand back, I'll clean up that old ghost!" Guo Bufan staggered to his feet.
"It's okay, she's gone." I say.
"Gone?" He didn't believe it, and walked around twice with a nine-section whip in his hand. "When did she leave?" Guo Bufan put away his weapon.
I told him about Granny Zhong's spell and the fact that he was put down.
"Shishsh...... What the? Do you have the breath of an underworld? , do you know what kind of existence the Lord of the Underworld is, how is this possible! ”
Guo Bufan, a man who catches countless ghosts and is ten years older than me, is usually extremely stable, and his eyes are as wide as bull's eyes at this time, and his mouth is wide open enough to stuff a row of light bulbs.
"That's what she said, what, do you know about the underworld?" I asked him.
"Well, that's what I said five years ago with a few ghost catchers and a water ghost that I caught together......" He was about to speak, when his body suddenly trembled as if he was frightened.
"When the thousand-year-old ghost was here, you people who had no arms and no heads didn't dare to come out, she was gone, and you all ran out." Guo Bufan said with his eyes that dotted the tears of the cow, looking at the rows of tombstones around him.
I suddenly felt cold too, could it be that the residents here had come out......
"Let's go, there are a lot of ghosts here, let's get in the car and talk!"
Guo Bufan rubbed his eyes that were red by Niu Hu's tears, and trotted out of the cemetery with me. When I got into the car, I started the car, and he sat in the passenger seat and told me about "Lord Hades......
"That was five years ago. There is a powerful water ghost who dives and drags children in several large rivers, that is, he wraps the hair of the children who swim in the river, drags them to the bottom of the river, drowns them, and brings them back as toys. ”
"This bastard is more brute than the sack ghost I'm chasing. The sack ghost only steals the sacrifices of the dead, and the poor character is not harmful. And it wanders among several rivers along the tributaries of the great river. There were at least fifty children who were dragged into the water by it in those years. There were a few families that were particularly miserable, and several children from different families went down to swim in the river, and the white and lovely children of men and women were dragged to the bottom of the river by the long hair released by it and drowned. ”
"Hey, now I think of those parents crying and wailing......"
Guo Bufan wiped his tears and avoided the place that made him sad.
"Later, the ghost catchers got the news that this harmful beast was not enough to make the people angry, so a few of us made an appointment to go to the river where water ghosts often hang out."
"The reason why several of us ghost catchers went out together is because there are many tributaries in the place where the accident occurred, and we can't touch it without enough people. Let's just talk briefly, it took a month for seven of us ghost catchers to catch it. ”
"We dragged it ashore from the river and trapped it ten times with a strong hemp rope, it was a water ghost with brittle skin, and it needed to be nourished by water at all times. But it harmed too many people and ruined several families. We put it in the sun and exposed it, and only the endless torture of it can calm the hatred in our hearts. ”
"One of us was a grumpy ghost catcher who took advantage of everyone's lack of attention, brandished a machete and cut off one of his scorched arms, only to be stopped by the group when he went to get rid of its head."
"The irascible ghost master wants to correct it on the spot, and the other one hugged him and said wait, and in a while the parents who lost their children will come, wouldn't it be better to hand over the water ghosts to them for torture."
We said yes again and again, and the irascible ghost master nodded in agreement. But to the ears of the water ghost, it was like a landslide. It dragged so many children away, and for a moment it was sure to be brutally tortured by angry parents. ”
The water ghost opened its mouth and begged for mercy, if it didn't let it go, it wouldn't give it to those parents, it would rather cut off its head on the spot to correct the Fa. We disagreed, saying you have to be tortured to death by your parents. We laughed at its desperate expression. ”
"The water ghost was really afraid of being tortured by those parents, and when he begged for mercy again, he told the instructions standing behind it."
"It said that in the land of tens of millions of kilometers in our Kyushu land, there are a total of nine hundred and eighty-one dead lands, each of which is sealed tens of thousands of miles, and there is a ghost king. In other words, there are a total of eighty-one ghost kings in the land of Kyushu. ”
"Every ghost king has boundless mana, at least it is a ghost who has been dead for thousands of years and is under the assessment of the king of Yama, and he is a ghost king who is sealed with mana. His Royal Highness the Ghost King is in charge of all the morgues and the ghosts of the thousands of cemeteries and cemeteries in the local territory. Even the black and white impermanence that the ghosts are afraid of, and when they see the ghost king, they have to walk with their faces on the ground. ”
"In the underworld, it is a well-deserved god-level existence under the king of Yama and above hundreds of millions of undead souls. The gods of the heavenly realm and the underworld call him the ghost king, but the ghosts and undead in our netherworld are accustomed to calling it, Lord of the underworld! ”
"Ghost King, Lord of the Underworld, this is the existence of the same character?" I asked Guo Bufan in surprise.
"Yes, that's right, the water ghost said that it dragged the child as a last resort. The ghost king there has a childlike fetish, and it likes white and pure boys and girls, and which ghost can hand over the child on time and in quantity, it will reward it with the local rivers and mountains, and it says that it is only for the favor of the ghost king over there......"
"the damn!"
"Bang!" My hand slammed on the steering wheel, and the car shook and almost ran off the road.
"Tap, brother, I haven't lived enough!" Lao Guo shouted.
"Later, the water ghost was beaten by the angry parents for three days and three nights, and then cut it one by one with a knife, and then used a wooden stick to insert it from the chrysanthemum and come out of the mouth, and put it on the fire and roasted it into a jerky ......."
Guo Bufan said with relish, and I even saw in the mirror that he licked his lips as if he was talking about the jerky.
I'll go, this old brother won't bake the water ghost......
Uh, I just thought about it, and I wanted to throw up.
"No, no, absolutely not, it's a ghost, how can it eat it!" He saw my reaction and explained it to me right away.
"But ......", I drove seriously, and a question came to my mind, "Brother Guo, I am an ordinary person who grew up in the city, I have never been to the countryside, I have never been to the cemetery, and I have never been evil, how can I have the breath of a thousand-year-old ghost king?" I asked, puzzled.
"yes, that's my question. You are a twenty-five-year-old young man, going up dozens of generations, when your ancestors wore open crotch pants, the ghost king here may have just died and become a ghost. Your ancestor had a chance to encounter it, how could you get in touch with the Ghost King? ”
Guo Bufan leaned his head sideways on the passenger seat, looking at the scenery outside the window with a puzzled face.
"That's right!" He suddenly turned his head to look at me, startling me.
"Granny Zhong!" Guo Bufan kept foaming in his throat because of nervousness.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"That Granny Zhong, she is not a human being. In my experience, she is an old ghost who has cultivated for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. Although she doesn't have the supreme strength that the Lord of the Underworld has, she can also make the Yin Spirit Ghost of a hundred years of cultivation disappear with just a little finger! Brother, you didn't shed a cow's tear just now, you only saw her appearance, but you didn't see the real her under the human skin! Guo Bufan said with a gloomy face.
"What, human skin?" I slammed the brakes all the way down.
Ghosts, spirits, evil spirits, monsters, I've heard of them all to some extent. The word "human skin" can be ......
"That's right, believe it or not. That Granny Zhong was actually the soul of a dead man, wearing the skin of another dead man, dragging an iron bucket around the cemetery. Damn, I squeezed a lot of tears just now, and I took a look at her under the skin......"
