Chapter Twenty-Nine: Spiritual Wood
Just when I was helpless, the box in my hand suddenly shook violently. www.biquge.info But I didn't have much time to think about it at this time, seeing that those two little ghosts were about to pounce on the souls of Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng, at this critical moment, I opened my arms and blocked in front of them.
Suddenly, I only felt a tightness in my chest, and then, I was hit by two little ghosts that flew at a very fast speed and flew out for several meters, and my eyes turned black in pain. The box he was holding in his hand immediately rolled aside. Seeing that the box had fallen, I hurriedly wanted to reach out and pick it up, but the moment my hand touched the box, the box opened by itself.
Out of it fell a black cylindrical wood carving, carved with many patterns I couldn't understand, and though I didn't know what it did, I grabbed it in my hand and struggled to get up from the ground.
And the two little ghosts pounced in the air, turned upside down in the air, and rushed towards Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng again. This time, even if I tried to use my body to help them out, it was too late.
In desperation, I stretched out my arms as hard as I could, and threw myself forward to knock them down. Just as my feet were off the ground, I suddenly remembered, "I couldn't even touch them if I wanted to, so what's the use of me jumping on them now." ”
But it was impossible to stop, the two little imps in front of me were already close at hand, and their hideous faces were only a foot away from me. But I was still one step ahead of them and touched the souls of Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng. But as I grasped the hand of the wood carving and passed it through their souls, their bodies were restored to their bodies.
It was too late, and they were thrown to the ground by me. At the same time, I felt the hand holding the wood carving tighten, and even though I tried to grasp it as best I could, the wood carving broke free from my hand and floated in mid-air, emitting a black-purple glow.
Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng were thrown to the ground by me, and they were both dumbfounded. Li Zhisheng opened his mouth to ask what was going on, but saw that the black-purple light was rapidly spreading outward, forming a huge ball of light in an instant, followed by a loud "boom". Before the three of us could react, a powerful suction force sucked the three of us into the black ball of light.
"Where is this?" In the darkness, I heard Hu Fang's anxious voice, and then a blinding light shone through. I hurriedly raised my hand to cover my eyes and said, "Hu Fang? At this time, Li Zhisheng also seemed to wake up, "Whose ass is in my hand, lift it up and thank you, my hand is about to break." Hearing Li Zhisheng say this, I did feel that something was under my buttocks, and hurriedly got up and got out of the way.
The three of them stood up and confirmed to each other that it was indeed me. I looked around again and saw that we were back at the door of the hospital morgue. Seeing that she was still in the hospital, Hu Fang said anxiously: "I... Let's get out of here quickly, otherwise what if something happens later......" Li Zhisheng also agreed: "That's true, let's talk about what to do when we leave." ”
With that, the three of them hurriedly ran towards the exit. This time, there were no more accidents, and I escaped from the hospital without incident. When I got out of the hospital, I looked at my watch, it was already past four o'clock in the morning, there was silence around, there was not a single car on the street, let alone a rental, so we had to walk home.
On the way, Li Zhisheng saw that I was empty-handed, and asked strangely, "Where is your box?" I sighed, shook my head in frustration and said, "We're busy this time." Then he told them about his entry into hell. After listening, Li Zhisheng said with a sad face: "No, first of all, this box is too easy to open." And the contents of this box turned out to be just a spirit wood, which is too strange. Hearing him say the word "spirit wood", I asked curiously, "What is that, why have I never heard you mention it?" ”
"Didn't I say before that I read a book that recorded the refining method of the onizuka? And this spirit wood is also among them. This thing needs to be carved out of ebony, which is what we call gloomy wood, to the desired size and shape. Then tie it with extremely tough silk threads, along with some sharp tools such as blades and small spikes. Finally, a child under the age of five is taken and fed one end of the gloomy wood and a sharp object into the child's mouth, and the other end tied to the child's neck, in order to suspend the gloomy wood inside the child's body. ”
Hearing this, I touched my stomach, swallowed again, and said, "And then?" Li Zhisheng snorted and said, "Then? Then the children were tied hand and foot and hung in the air for three days and three nights. During this period, he was not given food or drink, and he was tortured to death. After that, you can disembowel and take out the gloomy wood, at this time, because the sharp weapon is cut back and forth in the child's body, resulting in massive bleeding in the internal organs, and the gloomy wood just absorbs the blood of these children, and at the same time, after the child's death, the soul will also attach to the gloomy wood, which becomes the spiritual wood you just saw. ”
Hearing this, goosebumps broke out all over my body, but I thought it was a little strange when I remembered what he had just said, "It's just a spirit wood" and asked, "If this thing is made in such a cruel way, why do you say it's just?" As if he had guessed that I would ask, he continued: "I say only for two reasons. First, if you think about it, most of the things that came out of your previous box were used to restrain unjust spirits and ghosts, and this box only allowed us to escape from the underworld. The second thing is that the spirit wood can actually be made by anyone, and it is still a disposable......"
Speaking of this, Li Zhisheng seemed to sense something. After a pause, he continued: "Although this spirit wood is a disposable product, it needs people with certain characteristics to be able to use it, and I think you are such a person. Its effect is that if it is used in the mortal world, it will strip the soul of the living person and bring it into the underworld to unite with the ghost. But if you are in the underworld, you can bring back the soul. So your box is almost certain to be fake. ”
Hearing this, I seemed to understand something, rubbed my chin and said, "In other words, that person actually wanted to harm me, made a fake box to extract the void in my body, and then combined with the little ghost in the underworld to become an extremely powerful demon." It just so happened that because another evil ghost in the hospital also wanted to do the same, so it happened that we were rescued by the Spirit Wood? ”
Li Zhisheng nodded, "It should be so, yes, but there is another thing I'm more worried about, that is, ......" "You don't have to finish it, just say something I don't understand, you just say it on the road, and you have to say it when you get to the door." Hu Fang looked a little impatient when she saw that we were talking endlessly.
Since she had been busy analyzing the situation with Li Zhisheng since she came out just now, she didn't care about Hu Fang, and now by the light in the elevator, I found that the corners of her eyes were full of tears left by excessive fear just now. When I heard her say that, I had to shut up.
"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." Hu Fang glanced at me and opened the door. As soon as I entered, I took out the parchment booklet, intending to record everything I had seen in the hospital and in Hades. At the same time, he thought, "If this works, won't it be equivalent to killing the entire ghost of the underworld?" Once and for all! "I was secretly complacent, but when I finished writing, I realized that the imprint hadn't faded much, not even as much as the last time I used it.
"Isn't this booklet powerful enough to destroy the ghosts of the underworld? Or is it only effective against ghosts that wander into the mortal world? "It's a little disappointing to think about it, but it's better than nothing, and it's better to reduce a little bit.
After the record, I put away the booklet, Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng were roughly sorted out, and they were ready to go to bed. I was a little tired, and I fell headlong on the couch and touched my chest that had been hit by the ghost, and there was still some pain, but I was lucky that the bone was not broken.
Looking at the ceiling, I once again fell into deep thought, "Since that box is fake, where is the real box?" And why did that man go to such great lengths to make a false box to take away my vanity? Is it just to refine a more powerful demon? In addition, what exactly is the last worry that Li Zhisheng wants to say? "It's almost dawn, don't think about it, wash and sleep early." As she spoke, Hu Fang threw a towel in my face. "Well, got it. I'll sleep in a moment, so you can sleep first. With that, I tore off the towel that covered my face, got up and washed up casually, and then went back to bed. But he didn't fall asleep until daylight.
When I woke up, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, I yawned and pushed open the bedroom door, and saw that they hadn't gotten up yet, and I was already hungry with my chest against my back, so I simply went to the kitchen to prepare food.
In a short time, I made four dishes and one soup. I was about to wake them up, but before I could say anything, they walked out of the bedroom together as if they had made an appointment. "Hey, it's so fragrant, I just got up and I had something to eat." Hu Fang said while wiping his saliva. Li Zhisheng followed behind, yawning and stretching his waist and said, "This is much better than what I did." ”
"That's, and don't look at who did it." I wiped the grease dripping from the table, and just wanted to look up and beckon them to sit down and eat. But when I looked up, I was surprised to find that overnight, Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng had aged a lot. Hu Fang's sideburns grew a lot of silver hair, and the corners of his eyes and forehead also grew a little wrinkles.
And Li Zhisheng is the same, and even looks more serious than Hu Fang. The two of them looked at me with a frightened expression on their faces, a little at a loss, and Li Zhisheng opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? I asked, "Don't you think there's anything wrong with you?" ”
Hearing me say this, the two of them turned their heads to each other and looked at each other. Seeing this, Li Zhisheng also showed an extremely surprised look. Hu Fang simply exclaimed, turned around and ran into the bathroom. This was followed by another terrible scream, followed by Hu Fang's shout: "How can this be, how can this be?!" What the hell is going on?! ”
