Chapter 33: The Lonely Ghost of the Woods of Hades
I'm depressed to death!
At the same time as the water ghost spoke, I saw that in the Ghost Devouring River, ten meters away, seven or eight dark yellow pieces of paper rose and fell with the rolling waves, and disappeared into the dim and dark river water in the blink of an eye.
I feel like I'm a waste, Brother Guo spent a lot of effort to draw the ghost charm for me, but I didn't hit a ghost, and I lost eight in a blink of an eye.
"You want to hit me with them?" The water ghost who jumped into the boat and kept flowing water spoke behind my back.
I turned around and faced it.
"Hiss......" When I saw the appearance of the water ghost face to face, I gasped.
This water ghost is slender and slender, with a height of 1.9 meters. The black, long, messy hair, long enough to cover its chest, and the hair held its head in a tight fit from front to back, and I couldn't see its features and expression.
Countless droplets of water dripped down the hair of the willow and dripping onto the board.
"Uh, I didn't mean to hit you with them. I just ......"
I was suddenly speechless to explain, and it was clear from the water ghost's words that it recognized the ghost charm, otherwise it wouldn't have asked me if I wanted to hit it with it.
"Humph!"
The water ghost snorted, and suddenly, without warning, jumped straight up in front of me without paying attention. "Poof" jumped into the water, its body smashed on the surface of the river, and a huge splash fell on me.
"It's gone?"
I wiped the water off my face and was surprised. The water ghost only asked me one sentence and swam away?
Just now, it hid under the water and only floated its hair on the surface, which really scared me, who suffers from "hair phobia".
I thought to myself, this guy might just be an ordinary water ghost in the Netherworld Devouring River, resting on the side of the boat just now. I disturbed it by shaking the wooden oar, which it grabbed underwater and wouldn't let me paddle away.
Well, that's how it should be.
It didn't seem to have any other thoughts about me, and it didn't want to take me to the bottom of the river to eat me. Hey, why do you want to do so much, it's good that it's gone, it's good to be gone, it's a false alarm......
Although I was not physically harmed, because of my own mistake, I lost eight ghost suppression talismans in an instant.
My heart is bleeding!
"Poof!"
"Wow, adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, I don't dare to ...... anymore Wow......"
Just as I was glad that the water ghost had left, suddenly, from the middle of the Ghost Devouring River, I heard the sound of an object burrowing out of the water and slamming down on the water. There was a wail from that voice.
I turned around to look, oh my God, what I saw!
The water ghost, who had just been standing in the boat talking to me, was in the middle of the river, and it came out of the river, and with a flick of its arm it grabbed a black thing out of the river and threw it into the air.
Suddenly, the countless long willow-black hair that covered the water ghost's head moved as if it was alive, and it was tightly twisted together. It's like four or five hair-twisted arms growing out of the top of the water ghost's head.
Each one was accurately grasped on the body of the black thing, and after a few seconds of "click-click-......", the thing screamed, and was torn apart by the long-haired water ghost.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
I could see that the black thing was also a ghost, and it could be another ghost living in this ghost-swallowing river. However, it had been brutally killed by the long-haired water ghost, and its head, arms, legs, and other bits and pieces of its body were torn off its body by the long-haired water ghost and thrown in all directions of the river.
"It's terrifying, isn't it?"
For the first time in my life, I saw one ghost dismantling another. This kind of situation cannot happen in a world with legal constraints!
The world of ghosts was an eye-opener for me.
The rushing water in the center of the river instantly swept away the body of the dead ghost, and disappeared without a trace. The long-haired water ghost also fell from the sky and "plopped" into the water.
"Mommy."
Once again, I was scared to pee, the water ghost was so powerful, it tore the other ghost apart in a few clicks. And just half a minute ago, I was stupid enough to put a ghost charm on someone's face.
If I did, I would be dying.
No matter what it is, it's important that I go ashore first and find a ghost with me.
From the time I jumped into the boat, rowed with the oar, and found my hair, to now, less than three minutes I feel like an hour!
I put my backpack on my back, used my phone to light the road ahead, and was about to grab the handrail and get ashore from the boat. Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and from the place where the water ghost had just boarded the boat, this terrible creature came out of the water straight again.
"I killed the water ghost who ate the boat house yesterday, and now it's safe here, if you want to cross the river, row over now."
With that, he slipped straight into the water from the side ......of the boat.
I saw a lump of black hair on the side of the boat, swinging towards the center of the Ghost Devouring River, and in the blink of an eye, the black hair was gone.
I was stunned, what did the slender water ghost just tell me? He said that he had killed the water ghost who had eaten the boat, and that now it was safe and I could row across the river by myself.
Oh my God, am I mistaken? This guy who looks like a water ghost is not a water ghost. Is it a good ghost to get rid of man-eating water ghosts?
Damn, there is a kind of infernal affairs in this matter, which makes me unable to distinguish who is a good ghost and who is a bad ghost.
Now that the danger in the water is gone, I'd better hurry up and row across the river. First find the small hill where Liu Xin was abducted, and find out if there are any witnesses around.
I had already put on my backpack and was about to run ashore, but I thought that Li Kui was a Li ghost, and mistook that tall and slender ghost.
I took my backpack off my back and laid it out on the board. Swing the oar again and row towards the real underworld eighty meters away from the river.
I thought it would be difficult to row, but it wasn't until I paddled it myself that I realized it wasn't like that. The boat was simply going down the river, although the water in the center of the Ghost Swallowing River was turbulent, and from time to time the hull would be swept away by a few whirlpools, but fortunately, I had rowing experience before, and the boat was extremely easy to control, and in less than a quarter of an hour, I finally rowed it to the other side with a sore back.
I got off the boat with my backpack on my back, and I took the rope and bolted it up. Looking at the empty little wooden boat, I sighed. What a poor ghost boat family, killed by a ruthless water ghost. However, sooner or later, he will have to pay it back, and the evil guy will be dismantled by the more powerful "long-haired ghost" in a blink of an eye.
It seems that in this strange underworld, there is no escape from the ironclad law of karma.
My feet were on the land of the underworld, and there was a soft "creaking" feeling from the soles of my shoes. I looked down, I went, crossed the Ghost Devouring River, came from the buffer zone on the edge of the underworld to the real underworld, and suddenly there were more footprints on the ground.
Although these are just the footprints of dead animals, they at least give me a glimpse of another kind of life that exists in the underworld.
I walked forward, a long way, maybe a kilometer away. Except for the occasional strange creature popping out in front of me, I haven't met a ghost in the gray underworld who can ask questions.
I need a guide, and now I need a guide who can ask for directions, where is the small hill where the dead snakes robbed Liu Xin, thirty miles away from the ghost.
As I walked, a forest appeared in front of me. With a "whoosh", I saw a ghost walking in the woods about a hundred meters ahead.
Good chance, I'll go over and ask if it knows anything about Netherworld.
Although I was carrying a heavy bag on my back, my cousin's safety stimulated me, and no matter how hard and tired I was, I had to get through.
With the help of Granny Chung, I gave up half my life to go to the underworld, and this time I only had two days. Even Granny Zhong thinks that if I want to rescue my cousin, I need to go back and forth in the yin and yang world several times to bring back the little ghost.
Therefore, I can't delay, I have to make good use of every minute and every second, and try to get more information in the limited time.
The ghost wandering outside the woods was a little weird, and I looked at it from a distance of 100 meters. It walked more than ten meters before stopping, looking down as if to check something. Then he walked forward for more than ten meters, stopped and looked down at the ground.
As I walked towards it, I thought, could it be that this ghost is bored, catching grasshoppers there?
Apparently not what I had thought it would be, and when I got to the woods, the ghost suddenly turned around and went into the woods.
This ghost is hiding from me!
I don't understand it, it's a ghost, and I'm also a half-ghost half-life under Granny Zhong's soul extraction technique. Everyone is a ghost, what are you hiding from me.
Well, it's very likely that just like the human world, people like to chat and be lively, and different ghosts will have different personalities and temperaments, and it is very likely that I met a "lonely ghost" who is not good at communicating with people and likes to live alone.
It's a matter of being lonely or not, but I have to take every opportunity. I followed it into the woods of the underworld.
"Who are you...... Why follow me! I don't want to split my head, so I squatted down. ”
I didn't see the "lonely ghost" in the woods, and I was a little dizzy after walking around the woods, when suddenly, a sharp, cold thing came up to my neck. At the same time, a deep voice came from behind me.
I knew that the ghost I was following came out from behind me and had a knife or something around my neck.
I suddenly felt funny, is this guy a ghost or not, he doesn't know that this is the underworld, and ghosts are changed by dead people. If you cut it with a knife again, the other ghost won't die again.
"Hey, dude. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad ghost, I'm a ghost who just died, and I just came here on a ghost bus. You see, on my back are all freshly burned offerings from my family, including ham sausages, canned food, and mineral water. Really, I didn't lie to you. ”
As the saying goes, you don't fight with a smiley face. I'm so sincere, I guess it'll believe me.
As I expected, after a few seconds of reflection, the Lonely Ghost's attitude towards me changed somewhat.
"You open the backpack and open it slowly. Let me see! It said.
Then I felt the cool thing around my neck no longer touch my neck.
I want to give him a good impression and get some information from his mouth after getting acquainted with him.
I slowly lowered my backpack and unlocked the zipper of the largest pocket.
"Look, I didn't lie to you. This is the sacrifice that my family burned for me, ham sausage, canned food, mineral water. No, would you like to try this ham sausage? Full of lean meat. ”
Brother Guo was afraid that I would be hungry and weak in the underworld, so he stuffed thirty ham sausages into my backpack. He said that he ate five sticks of bread at a time, just canned bread, which was exactly two days' worth of food.
I wanted to bring a few buckets of instant noodles, after all, they were better than ham sausages. But he came back to me directly and said, instant noodles with a fart, there is not even the sun in the underworld, who do you ask for boiling water!
He was right, and I didn't bring it.
Ham sausage is the most successful food to carry, and I became friends with Xiao Yong on the ghost bus, I don't know if this lonely ghost likes to smell ham sausage, so I took out one.
"Ham sausage!" It looked at the food in my hand, and its eyes suddenly lit up.
I thought it liked ham sausages, and handed them to him with a "whoosh".
"We don't have to eat when we become ghosts, but when we are hungry for meat, we can smell it...... Oops, what are you doing, why are you kicking me! ”
I happened to be kind enough to talk to it, and I even peeled it out with my own hands in order to enhance my relationship. But it glared at me and kicked me in the stomach.
I was kicked down by it and rolled around to get up.
"You're in league with them, aren't you? Those paper figurines can't catch me, so they have changed the way for you to catch them? ”
"Poof!" It pressed the shiny tip of the knife in its hand against my neck again.
I'm really blindsided, what does it say? What paper man catches the head, what do you mean to send me to catch it?
I was about to retort when suddenly something yellow appeared in my peripheral vision.
It was the talisman that Brother Guo drew for me, and after the eight ghost suppression talismans were lost, I stuffed the only two remaining ghost suppression talismans and ten ghost fighting talismans into my backpack together.
Who knows, when I kindly took ham sausage for the lonely ghost, I accidentally brought out the ghost fighting charm and the ghost suppression charm......
