Chapter 17: The Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts (Part II)
I'm upset by the events of the past two days, and I really want to find someone who understands and ask me what to do. This woman suddenly appeared, and I felt like I was grasping at a straw in confusion. I don't care if she's a fortune teller or not, or if she's here for money. Even if she got these ghosts, I'm willing to give her some money to take them away.
I don't know what to call her, since she used to call me "young man", then I simply called her senior, I said: "Senior, junior just offended, please bear with me." ”
She gave me a few yellow talismans and said to me, "The place where you live now is a forbidden place for me, and I can't go in." There is a 'Ten Thousand Ghost Cave' under that house. Ghosts replenish their energy by devouring the souls of the living, and more than ten years ago, there were too many ghosts in the world, and a large number of souls were devoured. The underworld can no longer sit idly by, and has sent ghosts to govern. I don't want them to gather together to fight against the ghosts. But where are they the opponents of the ghosts? The ghosts suffered heavy casualties, until one day they found the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave, for some reason, the ghosts could not enter there, so it became their safe haven, hiding in it during the day, coming out to hunt humans at night, and running back when they encountered the ghosts. Humanity could no longer ignore it, and an archmage sealed the exit of the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves with a magic circle and sacrificed his own life to strengthen the magic circle. Before he died, he instructed his disciples to cover a toilet on top of this magic circle, and the filthy things had the effect of warding off evil spirits and suppressing them, and to subdue some of the remaining resentful ghosts. ”
No wonder there will be a toilet on the green dragon seat in this house, which is a big taboo in feng shui. Listening to her explanation, I suddenly became enlightened. I said, "Since it's sealed, it shouldn't be a problem to live in it?" ”
She said: "Ghosts can only replenish their energy by eating human souls, not ghosts. There is a certain gap between ghosts and souls, and those who are within seven days after death are called souls, and those who are seven days later can be called ghosts. There is no soul for them to eat, the magic circle left by the mage is enough to make those ghosts run out of energy and die, there is a certain connection between the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave and the Netherworld, recently someone released the Devil's Ruthlessness, and the Circle was affected when the Devil's Soul rushed out of the Netherworld. The ghosts took advantage of this opportunity and began to rush outward, and there were already several ghosts that had slipped through the net. ”
I was shocked when I heard that she was ruthless, but it seemed that she didn't know that I had released it, so of course I couldn't tell her this: "So what should I do now?" ”
She said: "Now things are not as bad as imagined, the talismans I gave you are pasted on the toilet and windows in order from top to bottom, and every window must be pasted, as long as these talismans are not removed, the magic circle can support until the demons dissipate." The last one you put in the room where they lived when all five ghosts returned. This charm will destroy them. ”
My head immediately shook like a rattle: "Seniors, they are already very pitiful, why kill them?" ”
She said, "The one next to you is a good ghost, and you can take him with you, but the ghosts who live in the room to your left have escaped from the cave of ten thousand ghosts." They are now obedient to you because the circle has certain limits on their movements and powers, and when the circle fails, they will definitely swallow your soul. Even if he doesn't hurt you, he will come out and hurt others! ”
I still felt that it was wrong, I felt that those ghosts were so pitiful, and I told this woman about the experience of those ghosts. Hopefully, she will be able to arouse her sympathy and let them go. Unexpectedly, she just smiled and said to me: "What a melon baby, I believe the words of the ghost, you yourself ponder and ponder that there are loopholes in his words, and there is more than one loophole." ”
I thought about it for a while, and the ghost told me that they had come from the countryside to work. They came together with five people, and if they were to share a room, each person couldn't pay a few dollars. Suppose the rent of a house is 1,000 yuan, and they can contribute 200 yuan each, and they can maintain it when they have a job and income. If they don't even have this money in their hands, then where would they dare to come out? Even if they were forced out of poverty and madness, they said that the ghost killed them and trapped them here, and the ghost came out of the cave of ten thousand ghosts, and the most important thing for the ghost to come out of the cave of ten thousand ghosts should be to replenish energy, so why not eat them, but trap them here?
There must have been a lie between them and the woman, and I tentatively asked, "Then why do you know so much about me?" ”
She said, "I told you, I've been paying attention to you for a long time. You remember, if the ghosts of the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves come out, then you are not the only one who will die, and time is running out. With that, she left, and the talisman she gave me never mentioned the money.
I turned back to my lodgings, hesitated for a moment, and finally pasted the talisman on the door and window as she had said. It's just that I still can't kill those ghosts. I glued yesterday's chicken blood net to the door of the room where they lived, and shouted inside: "You evil ghosts who ran out of the cave of ten thousand ghosts, Lao Tzu is kind enough to take you in, but you want to lie to me!" ”
An innocent voice came from inside the door, the voice of the ghost who communicated with me last night: "Benefactor, why are you doing this? Then I heard him scream, and I guess he wanted to come out, but he was blocked by the bloody net.
I said, "You said that the demon killed you and trapped you here, but what is his purpose?" He only needs human souls to replenish energy, and kills you but does not eat your souls, how do you explain this? ”
He said, "Then how can I know why he can't eat me?" Did a woman say to you the 'Ten Thousand Ghost Cave' in your mouth? ”
My jaw almost dropped when I heard this, and I asked, "How do you know?" ”
He said anxiously: "Benefactor, don't believe her, that woman wants to harm you!" When I first moved in, I met her, and she told me a lot about the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves, and finally gave me a few talismans to stick on the toilet and the doors and windows, and I completely believed her words, and as soon as I put them on, I released the ghost from yesterday, and then he killed us. ”
As soon as I heard it, I was completely blindsided, who the should I believe?
At this time, my phone rang, I took out my phone, and it was Lei Xin calling. I answered the phone, and Lei Xin's voice came from the other side of the phone, and she asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Why haven't you come yet? It's going to be late. ”
I said, "I'll go right away, there's been a bit of a delay." ”
After I hung up the phone, my heart became a mess, what should I do? Should this talisman be put on the door and kill them?
