Chapter 18: Go to the Lion's Tooth Dam Again
The last time Boss Hong's house did something really evil, and the big red coffin came to my mind again. That's right, vaguely I seem to remember that there are a few big red square-headed nails nailed to the coffin, which may be the soul suppression nails that the Xuanqing Daoist said.
"Dao Chief, without further ado, I'll go to Boss Hong's house in Shiyaba to find the soul suppression nail, Erniang, Xiaomei, you two take care of the second uncle at home, I'll be back soon" After speaking, I turned around and was about to leave.
"Doll, last time you told me what happened to your second uncle, I have long suspected that they led the evil ghost to possess your second uncle's body, you must be more careful, I will give you a few more spirit runes to defend yourself, you must remember not to look back on the road!" Saying that, the Taoist of Xuanqing lit the incense, and the mantra silently drew two for me.
After taking the spirit talisman, I looked at the second uncle again, but the second uncle still didn't move in the paper coffin.
"Erniang, you watch the second uncle at home and help the Taoist chief with anything, I'll go!" I took the cloth bag that I usually go with my second uncle to exorcise evil spirits in case of accidents.
"Xiao Yu, be careful on the road!" Erniang touched my face as she spoke, as if she would never see me again, tears kept rolling in her eyes, and I felt sad when I saw Erniang. Erniang and Ershu treated me like my own father and mother, and now I really feel useless in this situation.
The head of Xuanqing Dao sat cross-legged, silently reciting the spell and not speaking.
"Brother, wait for me, I'll go with you to the Lion's Tooth Dam." As soon as I walked to the gate, my little sister stopped me.
"You're going with me? You still stay at home with Erniang, I can do it myself, not to mention that it's not very inconvenient for you to be with me as a girl so late, now that the second uncle is like this, what will happen to Erniang if something happens to you again? "Seeing my little sister's reluctance, I still don't want her to go on an adventure with me.
"It's okay brother, I just don't want you to go by yourself, not to mention that the Taoist also gave us a spirit rune, we are not afraid of ghosts if we have a spirit rune on our body, what are you afraid of? Now that my mother and the Taoist chief are together, it's okay for you to take me with you, okay? "My little sister looked at me with big eyes.
"It's okay Xiao Yu, it's good that my little sister will take care of you when she goes with you, and I'm not very relieved that you go alone, not to mention that my little sister is not a child when she is so old." Erniang took two pieces of clothing and handed them to me as she spoke.
"It may not be what time it is when you get there, remember to get dressed when it's cold, the Taoist will be fine here, go and go back quickly!" Erniang pretended to be calm in order not to worry me.
It was pitch black outside, and I closed the door.
"Brother, hold my hand, I'm afraid of the dark!" As she spoke, the little sister reached over and grabbed my hand tightly. My little sister's hands were very cold and cold, and I quickly squeezed her hands with both hands.
"Little sister, your hands are so cold, brother will cover you." My little sister suddenly hugged me.
"Brother, I'm scared! Dad almost died today, he became like that and scared me to death, I don't want to go home, you take me away! The little sister cried.
"No, little sister, isn't the second uncle controlled by the Taoist now? As long as we find the soul suppression nail and nail that evil ghost out, the second uncle will return to normal, and what if we leave, Erniang? Do you let Erniang face such a scene alone? Looking at my determined gaze, my little sister stopped crying. My little sister hugged me tightly, as if I was all she relied on.
Shiya Dam is far away from the second uncle's house, and there are about forty miles of mountain roads. I was really anxious and really wanted to fly there as fast as possible to get the soul snail but this is a remote mountain village, there is no car, and I can only walk on two legs. My little sister grabbed my hand tightly and gradually warmed up. Suddenly, a cool breeze hit, and it seemed as if something was flying in the sky in the distance. The black shadow turned out to be in the direction of the second uncle's house, and I fixed my eyes to see that the black shadow seemed to be the shadow of a person, but it didn't seem to be.
"Get down!" I hurriedly hugged my little sister and pressed him under me.
The dark shadow suddenly rushed over and circled around our heads, as if it hadn't noticed anything and flew away. I was terrified, but thanks to the spirit rune given to us by the Taoist, in my experience, it seemed not to be a simple shadow to a ghost.
"Brother, what's that?" My little sister asked me in a frightened whisper.
"It's not a little sister, it seems to be a gust of wind, let's go quickly, don't let Xuanqing Daoist wait in a hurry." I'm afraid that my little sister will be worried and can only tell her like this. In fact, I know in my heart that since I went to the Lion's Tooth Dam with my second uncle, so many incredible things have happened, those chickens and dogs that have been sucked dry, and the children from the city have made me feel hairy.
The road from the second uncle's house to the Shiyaba is a mountain road, and the mountains here are hundreds of meters high. The mountains are full of dense bushes and crops, every time I and my second uncle go to the Lion's Tooth Dam it takes more than four hours, today in order to be able to get to the Lion's Tooth Dam as soon as possible, my little sister and I ran for three hours and really couldn't run, unconsciously the sweat all over the body was soaked, the little sister also sweated, and the clothes were wet and sticking to her.
"Brother! Do you see if it's a lion's tooth dam in front of you? The little sister breathlessly pointed to the dark village in front of her. I looked in the direction of my little sister's finger, and the village in front of me was the Lion's Tooth Dam, and there were a few houses dotted with lights that had not yet been turned off. My little sister and I got up and went into the Lion's Tooth Dam, causing a dog to bark.
I have a good memory, and I remember the last time I went there was a young man in a striped shirt at the intersection of the village. Continuing along this road is Boss Hong's house, and after a while I found his home. My little sister seemed a little scared and snuggled up to me.
Boss Hong's house is a large courtyard with a single door, in the middle is the hall with wings on both sides, after all, it is the boss of business, the vermilion lacquer gate is very magnificent, and the two brass door knockers on the top are painted with hideous lion heads.
"Anyone? Is Boss Hong not at home? Anyone....... "I slapped the knocker as I barked, and almost all the dogs in the lion's tooth dam were yelling at me. I called them several times, but there was no response. I peeked through the crack in the door, and I couldn't see anything in the dark.
"Brother, will you recognize the wrong door, there should still be someone at his house just after the funeral, right?" The little sister also kept standing on tiptoe and looking inside.
"You can't be wrong, my second uncle and I did come here last time." My second uncle and I have never encountered that situation when we go out to exorcise evil spirits, and the location of their house is deeply engraved in my memory like a knife.
"Maybe it's sleeping, I'm knocking loudly!" I was really anxious that there would be an accident on the side of Erniang and the Taoist, so I knocked on the door harder, and the heavy gate shook again, and there was a crazy dog barking, and I felt that something was wrong.
"Little sister, such a loud voice should be heard even when you sleep, don't move here, I'll go over the wall and go in to see what's going on." With that, I handed my clothes to my little sister and jumped up the wall.
I jumped into the yard of Boss Hong's house, and it was still dark in front of me, so I took out a lighter and followed the light. The yard of Boss Hong's house is very large, but it seems to be empty as if there is nothing left, I remember the last time I came with my second uncle, the big tables were gone, the door was tightly closed, none of the rooms were lit up, the doors were locked, and I couldn't push them open, and there was really no way I jumped out again.
"Brother! What do you think? Is it Boss Hong's house? Why is there no one in their house? "My little sister hurriedly handed me the clothes. I guess it's about twelve o'clock at night, and I'm sweating a lot, and now I'm shivering a little when the wind blows.
"Little sister, I went in and saw that there was really no one inside, maybe they were relatives. There's really no way, so let's wait here. I shook my head helplessly.
"Brother, why don't we go back, we can't get it if we wait here, what if my father and mother have any accidents?" My little sister grabbed my arm and was about to leave.
"No, why can't you help the two of you when you go back, my little ability mud bodhisattva to cross the river is difficult to protect itself, if you encounter a ghost, it is not certain whether you can run out, in order to save the second uncle, you must get the soul nail." Only when we get the soul suppression nail can we drive away the evil ghosts, and besides, the head of Xuanqing Dao is watching there, and Erniang should be fine" I discussed with my little sister, just wait here.
"Okay brother, let's wait here until dawn, and ask them when the people come out." Saying that, the little sister put on her clothes, and she was also a little shivering with cold.
I looked around, there was a big haystack opposite the door of Boss Hong's house, my little sister and I sat down against the haystack, maybe because I was tired from walking dozens of miles of mountain roads, I was so dazed that I took my little sister's hand and fell asleep.
Falling asleep, a dark shadow hovered and flew over the heads of me and my little sister. The dark figure gradually stopped, and a man stepped out of the shrouded smoke. The man was dressed in white, white as paper, and rattled hard with his steps. I watched him walk towards me, but he couldn't move because he was crushed by a boulder. I raised my arm to call my little sister up, but I couldn't make a sound. Slowly, the man approached me, bent over, and grabbed my shoulders with both hands. Red eyes peeked out from his long, black hair! And there are no eyeballs in their eyes! I was so scared that my heart jumped out of my .......
"Ah......h
It turned out to be a dream.
"Hey! Doll, wake up! Wake up! I opened my eyes and was startled, and a pair of hands were shaking my shoulders vigorously. I quickly pushed his hand away and stood up from the haystack, and looked around to see that it was already dawn.
"Doll, which village are you from? Why do you sleep with this girl in a haystack? ...... you guys? "It turned out to be an old man who looked at me suspiciously.
I am secretly happy in my heart, this old man is so familiar, isn't he the old man Hu who sat at the door of Boss Hong's house last time when he exorcised evil with his second uncle? How could he be here?
"Uncle, we're here to find Boss Hong for something, don't think crookedly." I hurriedly got dressed and pulled up my little sister. The little sister's face turned red, and she probably thought that the old man's words were a little disgusting.
"Oh? What are you looking for Boss Red? You don't know that their family has moved away, and now there is no one, everything has been emptied, and there is nothing left! "When I heard Hu Laohan's words, I was stunned.
"When did you move out? Where did you move? "I'm in a hurry, if people can't find it, where can they find the soul nail?
"After your second uncle came with you, the next day their whole family moved out, what are you looking for him?" Hu Laohan looked at my eyes carefully.
"It's the Soul Suppression Nail, I'm going to find the Soul Suppression Nail to drive away the evil ghost ...... on my second uncle." I repeated what Daoist Xuanqing had ordered. Hu Laohan was stunned after hearing what I said, stroked his beard and stared at me incredulously.
"Is there such a thing? But here's why, I know a little bit about it......" Hu Laohan fell into the memory.
