Chapter 23: The Longest Night (1)

What is a plague ghost?

It's all folklore, and I also heard it from old people when I was a child.

When passers-by are walking in the mountains, sometimes they are left alone, and there is no one to treat them suddenly, and the head is crooked, and the person falls, and dies in the mountain like this, and the violent corpse has not rotted in the deep mountains and old forests for a while, and some things in the mountain that have become fine are attached to this corpse, and they have become plague ghosts who borrow corpses to return their souls.

It is said that the plague ghost is afraid of light, and only at night does it hide in the woods near the human village, and if some disobedient children do not stay at home and wander around the forest at night, the plague ghost will knock the child unconscious, pull out the child's intestines from the buttocks, and eat them.

The child woke up but did not die, there was still a breath left, and he came home crying out that his stomach hurt. The adults don't know so let the children go to the toilet, but there is no movement for a long time, open the door and see, the toilet is full of blood, and the heart, liver and spleen are all floating on it with blood blisters!

And his own child grinned and rolled his eyes, he would have become a dead child a long time ago!

There are also many strange things such as the plague ghost calling people's name "Huang Xiaoer" at night to find a stand-in, and pedestrians must not turn back, all of which are folklore, and many people have heard of them but have never seen them.

This time I saw one.

said that it was too late, and before Granny Shi's words fell, the plague ghost in front of her jumped up and pounced on Shopkeeper Chen.

Shopkeeper Chen was so frightened that he hurriedly hid, but the plague ghost did not stop, and stretched out two thin arms and grabbed them forward.

When Granny Shi saw it, her heart suddenly tightened, and she said secretly: It's broken! This plague ghost didn't go to Shopkeeper Chen at all!

He went for the child in the woman's arms behind Chen's shopkeeper!

I saw that the ghost thing moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he snatched the baby over, and without saying a word, he jumped at the window on the side, and smashed the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window lattice.

Seeing the ghost escape from the house, the woman who had lost her child was terrified, and when she came back to her senses, she began to howl heartbreakingly.

Granny Shi didn't have time to think about it, pulled the bolt of the door, and chased after her without saying a word.

That's when something even weirder happened!

I found out that I had actually floated out with Granny Shi! I was flustered at the time, and I didn't know what to do, so I could only float along!

Granny Shi ran fast under her feet, but the plague ghost in front of her ran even faster!

Come to think of it, this plague ghost is so thin that he doesn't have two taels of meat, and of course he runs fast!

In addition, at this time, the torrential rain is like a note, and the force under the feet is deep and shallow, and it is all mud when it is pulled out, and this ghost thing is drilled into the bamboo forest, and Granny Shi is chasing more and more anxiously, and she is unconscious when her cheeks are cut by bamboo branches.

Granny Shi chased for almost a quarter of an hour regardless of it, seeing that she was being pulled farther and farther away by this ghost thing, she gritted her teeth, pinched her hand print, and opened her mouth to read: "The sun, moon and stars are true, the wind, frost, rain and dew are gods, and the evil spirit is suppressed by me, and the change does not leave a shape." I am in the East Emperor Taiyi, anxious as the law. ”

At this time, I saw a slight white gas emanating from Granny Shi's body, like a mist steaming, she turned into a divine seal in her hand, and her two middle fingers pointed forward, only to hear a loud shout: "Xiangjun help me!" Riding the wavesβ€”"

Say it's too late, then it's too soon!

I saw that a strong wind suddenly appeared under her feet, holding her up slightly, and this strong wind mixed with the stagnant water under her feet, constantly impacting the soles of Granny Shi's feet, making her feel as if she was riding the wind and waves on the water!

In an instant, her speed was nearly three times faster, and she chased after her like an arrow.

In a few breaths, she had chased behind the ghost, and the ghost felt something strange behind her, but she didn't stop at her feet, and turned her head to look at her as she ran, her eyes full of fierce and violent blue light.

Granny Shi was not afraid, and shouted angrily: "You ghost, put the child down quickly, or I will let you die!" ”

The ghost creature suddenly stretched its neck and bit the stone granny behind her, and the mother-in-law's shoulders shrunk, which could be dodged, but the ghost creature bit in the air with a mouth full of broken teeth, although it didn't bite, it splashed out a mouthful of fishy gas and saliva! Squirting the stone granny all over her body!

Seeing that the ghost thing missed the blow, he turned his head and bit it again! But where will Granny Shi suffer the same loss!

I saw that she suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed the back of the ghost's neck, and pulled it harder, and heard her shout: "Stop me!" ”

This ghost thing was pulled by the mother-in-law and immediately fell to the ground, it hugged the child and wanted to run again, but only got up halfway, and was kicked down by the stone mother-in-law, when the plague ghost fell to the ground on his back, he accidentally dropped the child not far behind him!

Granny Shi was worried about the child and wanted to go up to check, but was stopped by the ghost that got up, and Granny Shi's eyes were about to erupt with fire.

"Get out of here!"

Granny Shi shouted violently, and the plague ghost was not moved, but fell to the ground on all fours, pulled out like a wild boar, and roared incessantly.

Granny Shi's eyes widened angrily, and her hands pinched her hand prints.

"You're looking for death!"

Granny Shi's eyes widened angrily, and she pinched out the lotus seal with both hands, only to hear her read: "The six ghosts are vicious, uprooting the mountains, immeasurable true fire, a vein of Zhurong, ghosts and gods, smell the wind and fall down!" I am under the edict of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi Wind and Fire Law. ”

She stared at the plague ghost in front of her tightly, chanting this incantation over and over again, her voice getting faster and faster!

At this moment, I saw a blue flame suddenly rise from her lotus handprint, and with the modulated tone of the mantra in her mouth, this strange flame slowly danced, and gradually seemed to appear on the handprint A dancing figure.

This figure is like a long-haired woman in a blue gauze skirt, dancing gracefully, but this dance is not half feminine, but full of solemn atmosphere! Why is this so?

It's just that once the fallen leaves in the forest touch this flame, they will turn into ashes in an instant! When the rain fell on it, it instantly rose up with white air waves!

This flame is not trivial, and it is obviously extremely high in heat!

The plague ghost obviously also felt the extremely powerful heat of the fire in front of him, and he lowered his body and crawled quickly around Granny Shi, and his rotten mouth continued to let out a terrible roar.

At this time, I heard Granny Shi shouting angrily: "Wangshu help me, it's really fire to ward off evil spirits!" ”

She slammed her palm at the plague ghost!

Say it's too late, then it's too soon!

I saw this flame burst out of her hand, like lightning, towards the plague ghost's face cover!

In the blink of an eye, the flame has already rushed to the eyes of the plague ghost!

Seeing that the plague ghost was about to be hit by a blow, I saw the plague ghost raise his head and jump suddenly, and suddenly jumped on a thigh-thick green bamboo next to him, this bamboo is four zhang high, I saw the plague ghost use both hands and feet, and jumped up to the top of the bamboo "whirring"!

When the flames that flew straight out were about to fail, Granny Shi quickly pinched out her sword finger and pointed at the plague ghost on the tree from afar, and then shouted angrily: "Change shape!" Kill! ”

Listening to the sound of breaking the sky, the flames condensed into a sphere, spun around in the air, and rushed up to the plague ghost on the tree!

The plague ghost was caught off guard, and with a scream, he was hit by this fireball at once, only to see sparks shooting between the branches and leaves, and in the scattered water vapor, countless ashes of bamboo leaves fell!

But the moment the fog cleared, Granny Shi's face was not half happy, but turned pale with a "swish".

I saw that the plague ghost's legs were hanging down on the big bamboo, and saliva was dripping from his rotten mouth, and he was smiling at Granny Shi, who was holding a dagger in front of his forehead!

Plague ghosts, most of them are possessed by monsters in the mountains and come back to the soul after borrowing corpses, so there are many demonic natures, but human nature can make weapons is obviously not trivial!

This is no ordinary ghost!

But then again, even if it is an unusual ghost, with Granny Shi's ability to eliminate evil spirits, it will never be taken seriously.

It made her face pale in an instant, and there was something else!

She stared closely at the dagger in the blight ghost's hand, this dagger looked rough and unusual, but the slimy dripping thing flowing down the dagger made Granny Shi's heart hesitate for a while!

Although it was a few feet away, this thing was fishy and smelly, it was really a filthy thing, and it was what every wizard feared the most.

This is black dog blood!

Wizards practice witchcraft, and they are most afraid of encountering black dog blood.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Army Zhang Jiao practiced, raising a sandstorm in the valley that covered the sky and the sun, and was about to encircle the Han army in one fell swoop, but met the fledgling Liu Guan Zhang three brothers, these three brothers were the black dog blood to break Zhang Jiao's witchcraft, so as to become famous.

It's no wonder that the mana condensed by the "True Fire Evil Spell" just now can't hurt this plague ghost in the slightest! When you touch this thing, it dissipates in an instant!

The prestige of the black dog's blood and witchcraft is really extraordinary!

But it's so strange that a ghost can use a magic weapon that can break witch spells!

Because all ghosts, it is also afraid of black dog blood, and all ghost things are quite afraid of black dog blood, feces and other extremely filthy things.

Unless the plague ghost in front of him is not an ordinary ghost, but a different thing, a puppet that has been manipulated......

But if the thing in front of you is a puppet, then there must be a manipulator, and where is the manipulator......

This made Granny Shi suspicious, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong......

She frowned, and worried about the baby in the forest not far away, and didn't have time to think about it for a while, and then recited a spell and struck out four more evil spirit-warding true fires, these real fires chased the plague ghost around the forest several times, and were still broken by the dagger stained with black dog blood!

After all, Granny Shi is over fifty years old, and this "True Fire Evil Spell" seems to be quite exhausting, and less than a stick of incense has already made her gasp, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead!

The knife technique used by the plague ghost is quite exquisite, and when the fight is made, it not only breaks her palm true fire, but also recruits her to attack her vital point!

There were several cuts on her arms and cheeks, and it hurt for a while! Coupled with the loss of energy, it gradually fell behind.

But the plague ghost was still in front of her, but there was a momentum to catch up, which made her feel very anxious.

Granny Shi stared for a moment, and suddenly a new handprint changed in her hand, which was completely different from the previous Divine Seal and Lotus Seal, this is the Lion Seal!

Her gaze was still a little hesitant before, but the moment she pinched out the lion mark was already extremely firm, I saw her trembling all over, and then she shouted: "The heavenly fire burns the sun, the earth burns the five directions, Xi and the law of the law, burn and kill all ominous." I am under the edict of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi Wind and Fire Law. ”

Granny Shi raised the lion seal violently, pointed to the sky, and saw that the handprint instantly rose a trace of flames, although this flame was only a slender and long wisp, but it made the plague ghost withdraw six zhang away in an instant!

The plague ghost was lying low on the ground, almost stuck in the mud, and it trembled as if it sensed an extremely deadly threat!

This wisp of fire in Granny Shi's hand is indeed strange!

It was neither red nor blue, but white, a white of great purity, in which no impurities could be found, as if everything had been burned here......

As the incantation in Granny Shi's mouth became faster and faster, and her voice became higher and higher, the white flame became brighter and brighter, and gradually turned to incandescent, as if a dazzling white sun had risen in this dark and rainy night!

This white light is so hot and dazzling that it is impossible to look at it directly!

Granny Shi didn't throw out the flames, but suddenly retracted the lion mark back to her chest, and at this moment, a change occurred!

I saw a white fire flickering slowly, and suddenly drilled into her heart, and then with a "poof"! A wave of heat surged from her body!

It's just that in the blink of an eye, her whole body is shrouded in blazing white light, and it's too late! I saw Granny Shi's eyes widen angrily, and her body moved, and she rushed towards the plague ghost!

"Xihe help me, Tianhuo Sun!"

The plague ghost couldn't avoid it, and was knocked to the ground by Granny Shi, and suddenly let out a terrible wail!

It fell to the ground, and a blazing wave of fire instantly rose from its flesh, and in just a moment of struggle, all the flesh and skin of this ghost creature were twisted, and in the heart-rending howl, in the scattered white fire, all turned into ashes!

Granny Shi watched this ghost thing disappear in front of her, but her face was not half happy, just because of this move, almost exhausted all the strength in her body, she felt weak, one hand supported on the green bamboo next to her, in the pouring freezing rain, let out a deep breath.

But she only paused for a moment, and immediately turned and ran towards the baby not far away.

The swaddling pile of the child fell on a high pile of fallen leaves in the bamboo forest, which looked soft and carried the swaddling clothes on it, and the falling rain flowed through the gap between the fallen leaves, which seemed to have not hurt the child, which was already a blessing in misfortune!

But Granny Shi was still very nervous, so at this moment, the child didn't cry......

There is no crying, I am afraid that the child is really broken!

She hurriedly leaned down to pick up the swaddling clothes, flipped them over to take a closer look, but when she looked at them, her face suddenly turned pale!

She trembled and reached out to probe her nose, and touched the baby's limbs, and sweat droplets the size of soybeans instantly came out of her forehead!

It's a dead kid!

The plague ghost just now is extremely fierce, and his hands and feet are even more severe, wasn't this child strangled to death?

If so, she wouldn't be so frightened.

It's definitely not that simple!

It is true that this child is a dead child, but there is no warmth on his body, and his limbs are already stiff, this is definitely not the situation of just death!

He's been dead for at least three days!

However, if the child has been dead for three days, then who is the woman who is holding the child and coaxing the child and breastfeeding the child!

And the villagers of Songkou Town who followed this woman to ask for help late at night, there are twenty-three people, who are they?
