Chapter 32: The Gloom Returns

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate of my grandmother's house, the beans and bud rice straw have been put down and bundled, the bud rice is knotted, and the bundles are neatly dried on the wall, and the dustpan on the windowsill is full of peeled beans, everything is in order, and the buns habitually come to the well, shaking the wooden crank, filling two buckets of well water, and are about to carry them into the house, but I hear the voice of the grandmother behind me, "Your uncle has filled the water tank, don't fight, go into the house." Grandma's voice was desolate and weak, "If you're busy with studying lately, you don't have to come to see grandma all the time."

On the futon, grandma sat cross-legged. The long-tube cigarette pouch pot was held in his hand and smoked it with a snap. The smell of burnt tobacco filled the room. Baozi wanted to speak, but grandma said like an unpredictable prophet, "Come in a panic, is there something?" Baozi said, "I heard, I have already given you the chain." Have you overtaken Miko? ”

Grandma got up, took out a velvet jewelry box from the kang cabinet, and took out the chain, "This?" ”。

"To "buns, I am familiar with the strange carved flowers" is it! ”

Grandma still said in a faint tone, "That little ghost is not in there at all." ”

"How is that possible! She's in her own mouth..."Baozi almost screamed. Grandma prompted, "Can you still remember the first time I went to your house to exorcise ghosts when you were six or seven years old?" ”

"Remember, Grandma."

"What did you think the female ghost did when she first saw me?"

"I remember that she pounced on you with all her might, and I was shouting at the time, you, oh no, as soon as Huang Xian raised her hand, she flew." Buns remember clearly.

"That's right, where did I ask your dad to bury her?" Grandma reminded again.

"It's on the edge of this pond, along with Ishihara's bones."

"Well, that's not Ishihara's bones." Grandma was very sure, "I asked him to bury the bones at the entrance of the Five Ghost Hanging Gate, so that in the future, when the hanging door is broken, the spell poisonous insects in this chain will end with the catastrophe." ”

"Spell poison bugs? And that bone is not Ishihara? "The bun is confused again.

"You recall the state of the bones when they were unearthed."

"I was a little weird at the time, but it was too young to think of the two of us hugging each other, but it was more like a fight, and the woman's hand was deep into the eye socket of the man's skull. Now that I think about it, it's really weird. Baozi is recalling with his amazing memory, "You mean Miko is lying?" ”

"If she didn't lie, no one in the world would lie. That man is your uncle Nigami's father, my husband, he turned out to be my Nigami, and after we were caught together in the water supply unit, we were forced to assist the Japanese wizards in their efforts to suppress ghosts. The Great Wizard of Toei has an assistant, who is Mitsukawaya Miko. This woman is not an ordinary vicious, she selects people of different blood types and different races from healthy people, and sends them to the research laboratory for bacterial experiments and organ experiments, and most of the ghosts of the people she kills are sent to the Sea of Vain Death. Miko and her husband Shigeru Ishihara are both powerful disciples of the Great Wizard of Toei, and they are both proficient in spells, although the level is a little worse, but the kung fu of calling ghosts and calling demons is still there, not to mention that this woman is a devil herself. When the Soviets called, the water supply troops were in a mess, and Shigeru Ishihara was ordered to lead nine officers to kill themselves as ghosts, and Yumiko and others locked their souls in the aftermath and buried them all in the Dead Sea. Then he packed up the confidential documents and led the troops to prepare to dispose of all the shamans he had captured. We also have the power to estimate it first, and everyone fought hard, and the fire broke out in that research institute building. My man, he had already escaped from the compound of the institute, and when he saw that I was running slowly, he rushed back to beat this Miko, and protected me to escape, and was pierced through the intestines by Miko, and the two of them hugged each other and rolled into the burial pit, which is where your house is, and pulled the gasoline bomb used by Miko to set herself on fire, and the two of them burned together. ”

After that, Grandma looked into the distance, her cloudy old eyes full of tears. This strong old shaman has never shed a single tear in the sweep of many waves, under the oppression of many grievances and sufferings.

"If you know each other, why should she appear before you? Aren't you afraid of you breaking it? ”

"She's a clever person. At that time, she lived in a secluded house, usually only going in and out of the underground Dead Sea project, and never appeared in the water supply unit building, so she thought that I did not know her. Actually, I have seen both sides of this female demon, and I remember her deeply, this is a beautiful snake. ”

Baozi sighed, "Since you all know, when my father dug up the bones, you went to my house to do something, why didn't you poke it on the spot and kill this demon?" ”

The shaman shook her head, "Kill her?" Back then, I was going to show a little flaw, and your whole family wouldn't be able to survive now. Meizi this thing is a ghost turned into a witch by Dongying.,Wandering in Dafang Town for decades.,A large number of wandering ghosts.,Sometimes it also harms people.,Mana is almost improving every year.,Grandma I can't deal with her even if I fight for my life.。 She didn't kill you in advance because the Great Wizard of Dongying gave a prophecy under the sea in vain. A long time ago, the great wizard of Dongying made a prophecy that the Dead Sea was sealed with a fish intestine sword, and only the soul could be added before it was activated, but it could not be opened, and the opening date was set on the 26th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar forty years later, and it was predicted that when two demon children went to the sea to make trouble, the Dead Sea was opened by these two demon children. This logic is that it cannot be opened without a demon child, and there is a risk if there is a demon child. This prophecy made Miko's fierce ghost very entangled, and of course she knew that the demon child was you. Therefore she approached you, made a fuss in your house, attracted me to come, and was anxious to come to me, and to take you as a disciple by my body, and then indoctrinate you with evil methods, so that you could take the lead for her, and when the time was ripe, she would kill me unknowingly, and when you opened the gate of the Dead Sea, it would be a plan to kill two birds with one stone. There is a spell to exorcise ghosts in the Sea of Vain Death, she hangs alone, no matter how big her ability is, she can't get in, and she is eager to go down to the Sea of Vain Death and meet the man Ishihara. Women are like this, it seems that there are always a few more circles of heart and eyes than men, but once the desire is blind, it is easy to be smart. Miko is just too clever for herself." Grandma changed another bag of cigarettes, looked at the stunned bun and smiled.

It's a pity that she is always willing to let others drill the trap according to her own design, but she forgets that there is her own way of heaven in the dark, when Huang Xian arrived in time, this demon failed to succeed in a temptation. She waited patiently for a few years, and waited until the day of the opening of the Dead Sea, and then instigated you to get the map, and on the night you went down the sinkhole, this female ghost had already followed you into the Sea of Dead Death, but unfortunately you got rid of eight of the nine dragons, and only the red dragon escaped, and she also rushed out with the red dragon. I know the way of heaven and the future, you have divine eyes, insight into the Three Realms, and our ancestors and grandchildren are the obstacles to her and the red dragon's future scourge. As a result, we have been blacklisted. ”

The kind and dignified aunt in front of Baozi suddenly became fierce and vicious. In Baozi's memory, at that chaotic age, the aunt was a living person by his side, and he saw Miko more than once. In his memory, the aunt has existed for a long, long time, whenever the bun plays by himself, the aunt will appear, leading the bun to pinch the clay figure and catch the insects, after the bun was criticized by his parents, it was also this aunt who wiped the tears from his face for him, and when the aunt waved her hand, there would be a rain of flowers in the sky, and every time the aunt appeared, there would be a small toy in her hand. Baozi also asked himself many times, why did he die for this aunt and desperately went to rescue her, maybe it was in his childhood memories that this woman was already a symbol of love, as clear as the blue sky, as soft as grass, and as kind as a mother. And today, this symbol is shattered!

Baozi endured a huge sense of frustration, and calmly analyzed the scenes that happened in the Tiankeng Underground Palace, and said, "When I was fighting that day, there was always something invisible attacking me from behind, and I knew who it was this time." It seems that she deliberately asked me to steal confidential documents in order to open various mechanisms, and asked me to retrieve the chain and hand it over to you, in order to..."

"In order to kill me," Grandma smiled, "This gold chain is not a soul cage, it hides the poisonous Gu cast by the Dongying wizard. She originally planned to ask you for the chain from Zheng Yaozu after you stole the documents, and after you left, she would urge the Gu worms to attack and kill me, an old woman who was in the way, when the Sea of Death opened. It's a pity that Zheng Yaozu was insatiable and didn't give up, ruining her plan. So she appeared and killed Zheng's wife, so scared that Zheng Yaozu handed over the chain to you. ”

"I gave it to you..."Bunzi was confused again, "You again...."

Grandma smiled, "Baozi, you have to walk by yourself in the future, you have to remember, ghosts are visible, people's hearts are hard to see, enemies can be broken, and demons are hard to break." ”

"Grandma, did you break the Gu curse?" Baozi is more concerned about grandma's present.

"That Gu is almost an absolute Gu, and no one can solve it." Grandma's face was relaxed, "When I took the demon flower gold chain that day, I was poisoned." ”

"But you have insight into the future! You know what Namiko is going to do, and you know every step of the way, why do you still follow her to a dead end! ”

"You think, if I don't swallow this Gu, it will harm you after all. I have my calling. Grandma's breath became weaker and weaker as she spoke, and she fell headlong on the kang, still holding a smoking cigarette pouch and pot in her hand.

The door slammed open, and a four-tailed giant fox burst into the house, grinning at the bun, followed by a cabbage flower. Baozi didn't care to ask where the cabbage flower went after coming out of the pit, and shouted, "Save grandma!" Cabbage Flower cried and pounced on her grandmother, shaking her grandmother's arm, "Grandma, grandma, you were okay when you went to school!" The giant fox opened his mouth to speak, "Boy, return me Naidan quickly!" ”

Baozi then remembered that he had borrowed everyone's things and hadn't returned them, so he urged the internal force and spit out Hu Meizhu's Neidan. Hu Meizhu swallowed Neidan and changed into a human form, "What are you doing in a daze?" Grandma Gray's Soul Rejuvenation Pill, you have a fucking stomach of pills, you don't hold it! Baozi then remembered that it was useless to have a resurrection pill, so he beat his chest, spit out the resurrection pill given by the gray grandmother, and quickly gave it to the shaman's grandmother. Grandma's complexion eased slightly.

Hu Meizhu picked up her grandmother, glanced at the bun and said, "The heart is soft, and the eyes of the sky are open, when I see a beautiful woman who can't walk, the words of the Japanese little wave hooves are a hundred sentences for us!" ”

"Bao Ziqiang!" Cabbage Flower yelled at the bun, "Tell you, you returned the chain to Grandma with your own hands, you begged Grandma to do more than the soul, I was there at the time, don't you want to rely on it!" ”

"What's the matter, it's important to save people. Your grandmother used her vitality to suppress the Gu worm attack for a month, and I fucking lost Neidan, and I didn't see it at your house every day. Hu Meizhu chattered and helped the shaman grandmother down on the bed.

"What is this Gu made of, how can it be broken," the cabbage flower muttered.

Hu Meizhu is easy to call the shots in everything, looking like a spicy woman, "The old shaman will have a life extension within ten days, and it is difficult to say after ten days." Your family is not safe now, the person who caused the harm, no, is a ghost, if you see that your grandmother is not angry, maybe she will come to do bad things again. After a while, I took her to my fox fairy cave to live for a few days. ”

Seeing that her grandmother still had a life, Cabbage relieved herself, sobbed and asked, "Baozi, why are you running so fast, you were still reading the manuscript at the school's flag-raising ceremony just now." ”

What the?!
