Chapter 10: The Devil
Besides, the man on the horse, who had an expressionless face, suddenly laughed darkly, and the voice made people shudder. Then, I saw him fall to the ground with a slight leap from his horse, and slowly walked towards Hou Bin. At this time, although Hou Bin said that he had the Tiger Yang Whip in his hand, he was pressed by the momentum of the other party, and he involuntarily took two steps back.
The guy took two steps and stopped, closed his eyes, and crossed his fingers on his chest. When Hou Bin saw it, he had a pair of miserable white hands, sharp and long black nails, and he didn't know what incantation he was chanting. And what will happen next, Hou Bin can only wait and see.
Hou Bin stared at this guy intently at this time, tense his nerves, and didn't dare to take it lightly for a moment. Suddenly, this guy opened his eyes and walked over to Hou Bin, Hou Bin had already retreated to the entrance of the cave, if he kept avoiding the battle like this, it was not a solution, thinking of this, Hou Bin also took a few steps forward, picked up the tiger yang whip and shone at the guy and pulled it over. After being whipped, this guy took a few steps back, covered the wound with his hand, and suddenly changed his appearance, opened his big mouth and roared.
This guy was completely annoyed by the beating, flicked his sleeves, and saw a long arm stretched out, Hou Bin was frightened by this sudden move and was at a loss, just when Hou Bin was stunned, this arm had already stretched out, and choked Hou Bin's neck. Hou Bin's breathing was a little difficult to breathe, and he felt that the five nails were about to be inserted into his neck, and the pain was unbearable. Hou Bin didn't know what to do at all at this time, so he threw down the Tiger Yang Whip and grabbed the hand with both hands, hoping to take it away from his neck.
At this time of crisis, the monkey couldn't care about being scared anymore, and he didn't know where the courage came from, so he hurriedly ran to Hou Bin and picked up the Huyang whip, and whipped it hard at the arm, maybe it was too strong, the whip actually broke the arm, and the broken arm fell to the ground, and the monkey jumped again, and hurriedly dodged. Besides, the guy had his arm broken, and he took the broken arm back in pain, screaming heartbreakingly. Before the monkey could recover from his composure, he stretched out his other arm to catch the monkey.
When the monkey saw that another arm had come, he hurriedly flashed to the side, and returned with a whip. The whip was wrapped around the arm, and the guy quickly retracted the arm, and the whip quickly fell off the monkey's hand, allowing the guy to take it back. Originally, the monkey thought that this was broken, and the only magic weapon was gone, so was there only one left to wait for death?
But after the whip was brought back, the guy tried desperately to shake it off, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake it off, and finally fell to the ground, struggling there. At this time, Hou Bin also eased up, covered his neck with his hand and looked at the guy who fell to the ground, only to see that he struggled for a while, and finally slowly turned into a black liquid, and disappeared, leaving only the tiger yang whip there.
As soon as the two saw this scene, they came to their senses for a long time, hugged each other excitedly, and after a burst of cheers, the monkey went over and picked up the tiger whip, and the two were ready to find an exit to get out.
At this time, Hou Bin changed his expression and said, "We may not leave so easily." ”
"Why?" The monkey asked, puzzled.
Hou Bin pointed to the sedan chair over there and said, "I suspect there should be another guy there." ”
"So what do we do?" The monkey asked.
Hou Bin thought for a while and said: "With our current strength, we don't need to be passive anymore, it's better to take the initiative." With that, he took the tiger whip from the monkey's hand, and the two of them walked towards the sedan chair. Besides, the four sedan chair drivers who carried the sedan chair saw Hou Bin and the two running towards them, and actually put down the sedan chair and ran away, and disappeared out of thin air without running two steps.
If this was before, the two would definitely be stunned when they saw this meeting, but at this time, they were just stunned for a moment and continued to walk forward. After going through so many things, it's not surprising to see this situation.
It is said that the two of them immediately approached the sedan chair, and when they were still thinking about who was sitting in the sedan chair, they vaguely heard a woman crying inside. The four disappeared sedan chair drivers just now didn't make the two of them feel much of a reaction, but the sound of a woman crying came from the sedan chair, which made them confused.
The two looked at each other, both with inexplicable expressions on their faces, not knowing what was going on. When the two came to the palanquin, they heard the woman's crying voice clearer.
Hou Bin cleared his throat and shouted, "Who is inside?" After Hou Bin said this, the sound of crying in the sedan chair stopped. I saw that the sedan curtain was opened, and a girl walked out of it. The girl looked to be in her twenties and was dressed in a red bridal outfit. But this girl was completely different from those people just now, with delicate skin, white and red, long black and bright hair, and looked at them with a pair of pitiful eyes.
Hou Bin really regretted his recklessness just now, and immediately changed his attitude and asked, "You, who are you?" "Anyway, it's not a little embarrassing.
The monkey next to him had completely forgotten their situation at this time, staring at the girl with straight eyes, and almost drooling. The girl wiped her tears with her hands and said, "I'm not a human, I'm a ghost." ”
Hearing the girl's answer, it was also expected by the two of them, how could there be people in this cave in the wilderness. Hou Bin continued to ask: "Then aren't you in the same group as those people just now?" ”
When the girl heard Hou Bin ask, she cried again, "The two of you blame me, although we are both ghosts, but I am forced to ......" Next, the girl told her life experience.
It turned out that the girl's name was Zhang Qiao, and she died fifty years ago. As mentioned earlier, there was originally a village in Guifang Valley, and that village was called Shiling Village. This girl is a person from Shiling Village, just after a family in the village dug up the cave in the north of the village, there are often people missing in the village, and no one is alive, no one is dead, but at that time no one suspected that the disappearance of people in the village is related to this cave, until later I found someone who understood, and after discovering this cave, said that there was something wrong with this cave, and everyone suddenly realized.
It is said that one day Zhang Qiao went to Beishan to chop firewood on the way back, it was not too late at that time, the sun had just set, and on the way through here, he suddenly heard the cry of a toad. It is too normal to say that it is too normal to hear the toad call, but what caused Zhang Qiao's discomfort was that the toad's cry made people feel creepy when they heard it. Zhang Qiao didn't think too much about it, he just wanted to take two quick steps. But suddenly, out of nowhere, a big toad popped up.
This toad is as big as a cow, its whole body is covered with purple scales, and there are horns on its head, lying on the ground, its cheeks are bulging, and it makes a very terrible sound, which is the legendary purple scale toad king. This frightened Zhang Qiao, standing there and not daring to move, opening his mouth but not shouting.
Besides, the toad opened its mouth and sucked Zhang Qiao in, just like that, within two minutes before and after, Zhang Qiao died in the mouth of the Purple Scale Toad King. But the purpose of the Purple Scale Toad King is not just to eat a person. But whoever dies in its mouth is a vain death, and such a person will become a wronged soul after death, and there will be a lot of resentment. The Purple Scale Toad King used this resentment to cultivate his own Dao practice. But even if this unjust soul has a lot of grievances, there will always be a day when they will be used up, so it will trap these unjust souls in its cave, and then torture these unjust souls day and night, so that these unjust souls will have more resentment for its cultivation.
Speaking of this, Zhang Qiao was already crying out of breath, and Hou Bin just wanted to step forward to comfort her, but he didn't want Zhang Qiao to hide away from the side with an "ah". It turned out that Hou Bin was still holding a tiger whip in his hand, and he almost injured Zhang Qiao. Hou Bin apologized again and again, but Zhang Qiao didn't care too much. Hou Bin had no choice but to return to the monkey's side in embarrassment, and then asked, "But how did you escape, and what happened to those people just now?" ”
Zhang Qiao wiped his tears and said, "Before you came, he was about to marry me, which is what you call ghost marriage." It's just unfortunate that when we were holding a yin wedding, one of his wandering spirits came to see that there were people in the mountains, referring to the two of you. He wants to use the two of you as the color of today's yin marriage, and then he will find the mountain ghost on the mountain to set up a ghost coffin array and force you to come here......"
It turned out that the person who was killed by Hou Bin and the others just now was also a ghost. This man was a bandit leader on Hades Mountain before his death, and later he was killed because of a dispute with another group of bandits. This man was ruthless when he was alive, and he did all kinds of evil after death. Before the death of this bandit leader, his brothers called him the master, so after he died, he named himself the ghost master, and like the Purple Scale Toad King, he used the grievances of the unjust soul to cultivate, but he and the Purple Scale Toad King are far from comparable, after all, the Purple Scale Toad King is a casual body, and he is just a wronged soul who died in vain.
Later, this ghost colluded with the Purple Scale Toad King. It is said that this Purple Scale Toad King can also trap the ghost master and these people in its cave for him to cultivate, but in fact, this Purple Scale Toad King does not need so many unjust souls, plus if the Purple Scale Toad King really needs some unjust souls, this ghost master will take the initiative to send a few. Therefore, this purple-scaled toad king can be regarded as peaceful coexistence.
It is said that when this ghost lord escorted a few unjust souls to the Purple Scale Toad King two days ago, he accidentally discovered Zhang Qiao, so he had a lustful heart, and wanted to exchange a few more unjust souls for Zhang Qiao. The Purple Scale Toad King naturally didn't care about this, so he readily agreed. And for Zhang Qiao, it is far better to be a ghost bride for the ghost than to stay by the side of the Purple Scale Toad King, so this Zhang Qiao chose to marry the ghost master, which is really helpless.
After Zhang Qiao finished talking about these things, he said to Hou Bin: "It's early in the morning, you have to go out quickly, you can't stay here, this is just an illusion, if you don't go out before dawn, once this illusion disappears, you will be buried in this mountain." ”
