Chapter 57: Harvesting the Hungry Ghost
Sure enough, as soon as those green points of light flew out of the range of the swill bucket, the four copper coins around them flashed golden. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Two gold wires were divided on the copper coin to extend to both sides, and then the two were connected to form a quadrilateral, and all the green light spots flying above the quadrilateral were like hitting a wall of air, and the golden light flashed, "Poof! It was bounced back.
The dozen or so hungry ghosts crashed into the golden light again and again, looking at the few people who were close but never able to get close, they suddenly seemed to be in a hurry, and the green light points began to disperse, constantly changing directions and impacting the surroundings, trying to escape from this strange area, but they were all bounced back one by one.
Dongdong saw that those hungry ghosts were trapped by Edamame's spell and couldn't get out, and the heart he was carrying gradually let go, and slowly came back together.
The green dots of light scurried around the bucket like a swarm of flies, and some tried to escape from it, but after a few attempts, they were all blocked back, and the dozen or so green dots of light seemed to be tired of flying, and flew back to the edge of the bucket, turning into a dozen hungry ghosts, calling on the edge of the bucket.
One of the larger hungry ghosts, after screaming a few times, suddenly puffed out his eyes, reached out and hugged a smaller one next to him, opened his mouth and gnawed on its head, the smaller hungry ghost only had time to let out a scream, and was bitten off half of its head by its companions, and one rolled over and fell into the bucket.
The rest of the hungry ghosts suddenly jumped in like flies that smelled blood, and began to bite frantically around the hungry ghost who only had half a head left, and in the blink of an eye, the hungry ghost was torn into pieces of minced meat, and the blue-gray internal organs also flowed out along the gap in the stomach.
A few of the larger ones grabbed their hands and feet, and hurriedly hugged them and ran to the side, turned their backs to munch, and the remaining small ones were still fighting for the mucus-dripping internal organs at the bottom of the bucket, pushing the hungry ghosts around them, while scrambling to stuff the blue-gray intestines into their mouths.
"Holy! How can these things be eaten even by the same kind! Dongdong covered his mouth, feeling a little sick to his stomach, Jiang Xiaoyan had already turned his back and retched.
Edamame said with an unchanged face: "These hungry ghosts are low-level spirits, they have no intelligence, they only retain their strong appetite before they were born, and when there is nothing to eat, they will uncontrollably start killing each other." ”
Dongdong said with a somewhat ugly face: "Monsters are monsters......"
Jiang Xiaoyan turned her back and retched a few times, as if she was more comfortable, but she no longer looked at the swill bucket, and when she heard Dongdong's words, she suddenly said: "Actually, you can't say that, when there was a famine in the past, it was not uncommon for people to eat people, all to survive, and sometimes it was a last resort......
Dongdong turned his head to look at her, his expression a little surprised.
Jiang Xiaoyan felt Dongdong's gaze and hurriedly explained: "I was just reading a book about the difficult times in the past recently, and I suddenly thought of these and said it casually. ”
"Oh......" Dongdong scratched his head, looked at Edamame and asked, "Douzi, are these things ghosts or demons?" Aren't ghosts all disembodied? How can you still be eaten by your companions? ”
Edamame explained: "Hungry ghosts, hungry ghosts, of course they are ghosts, but they are different from ordinary ghosts, they are just wisps of remnants left by people who starved to death before, and the three souls and seven spirits have long been incomplete, and they have lost their minds, and they can only remember the unbearable hunger before they died." And who told you that ghosts have no physical body? As long as you cultivate enough, you can condense the entity, how can there be any starvation in this era, these hungry ghosts are estimated to be people who died during the famine decades ago, after so many years, although the soul is not complete and cannot be cultivated, but there is no problem in condensing the entity. ”
As the three of them spoke, the hungry ghost in the bucket had already eaten all the minced meat and internal organs at the bottom of the bucket, puffed out two gray-white eyes, and began to stare at the same kind beside them again.
It was the largest hungry ghost just now who took the lead and pounced on a fellow of the same kind next to him, and with it taking the lead, the remaining dozen or so also let out a scream and scuffled with the hungry ghost beside him.
For a while, a dozen or so white figures the size of thumbs at the bottom of the barrel were entangled with each other and began to devour each other, you gnawed on my hands, I chewed your feet, screaming in my mouth, and at the same time I kept stuffing things that I could grab into my mouth, and for a while the bottom of the barrel was full of bloody severed limbs and blue-white internal organs, and the scene was very bloody.
Dongdong couldn't stand it anymore, turned around, bent over and vomited, and the edamame was also slightly off, not wanting to look at it again.
After waiting for a few more minutes, the sound at the bottom of the bucket gradually became quieter, and then Edamame turned around, stretched his neck and looked inside, and found that the only hungry ghost at the bottom of the bucket was the larger one, still lying at the bottom of the barrel licking the remaining internal organs.
Only then did Edamame take out the "Bai Ze Spirit Record", read a sentence lightly in his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, the hungry ghost suddenly turned into a green point of light and was taken in.
Dongdong's face turned a little pale at this time, looked at the edamame and said, "Beans, what kind of hobby are you, if you don't accept it earlier, you have to watch it for so long, your taste is too heavy......"
Edamame shook his head and explained: "It's not that I want to see them kill each other, although these hungry ghosts are only low-level spirits, but there are many of them, if you let one go carelessly, let it attach it to other people, it won't be long before it will multiply again, and these things are not easy to deal with when they are in the human body, in case I force my move, they may jump over the wall and hurt the host, so for the sake of safety, I can only do this." ”
Dongdong glanced at the empty swill bucket, and said with a bitter face: "It's good now, I vomited all the food at noon, but we saved the old man's son, although we didn't charge him money, but we had to let him set a table at night." ”
"Holy! Just vomit and you want to eat again? Although Edamame's face has remained the same, in fact, his stomach has already begun to turn over, but he just endured it and didn't vomit it.
Those terrifying-looking ghosts and ghosts deliberately turned into that appearance to be scary, and they were nothing to him, but the pictures of these hungry ghosts killing each other can no longer be described as terrifying, but disgusting......
The three of them returned to the tiled house next to it, and when they entered the door, they saw the old man sitting on the edge of the bed, guarding his son.
The old man heard the noise, turned around, saw edamame and them coming in, and quickly stood up.
"Master, how's it going?"
Edamame looked at him, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, it's all taken care of." ”
"That's good! That's good! The old man looked at Edamame's expression and knew what he meant, pointed outside, and said, "Let's go outside and talk." ”
Several people returned to the courtyard, and the old man packed up the things on the ground, moved a few more stools, and several people sat around the middle of the courtyard.
Edamame looked at the old man and said, "Uncle, you just promised me, since I have cured your son now, then you can also talk about the things in your village." ”
The old man picked up the dry tobacco pouch, took a few sips, sighed, and said: "We countrymen have always spoken with a spit and a nail, since we promised you, I will definitely tell you, and you are also a person with real skills, maybe...... Maybe we can save our village......"
