Chapter Ninety-Three: The Manifestation of Ghosts
We are all ordinary people, and like all ordinary people, our understanding of ghosts is only in the supernatural stories we have heard and the ghost movies we have seen, if someone asks me if there are ghosts in this world before I get on the ghost ship, I will definitely answer him with ambiguous words, because I want to say yes, I haven't seen it, I want to say no, it seems that I can't say it, after all, since I was a child, there have been some weird things around me that can't be explained by science, but after seeing those things on the ghost ship, I just believe that there are ghosts in this world, and the rest are still at the level of ordinary people, that is to say, they don't hurt us, we won't be stupid enough to find trouble with them, if they are looking for trouble with us, we can only use hearsay to protect ourselves, as for whether it works or not, it depends entirely on luck, not even to escape or ask someone for help,
So, when I watched the vague ghost that I could force back with a soak of urine gradually became clear, I didn't know why this was happening, and I didn't know what would happen in the next moment, all I could do was to look in my mind in fear for what else we could use against them if these things turned against us.
In this regard, Lu Dachuan and they seem to be more "mentally retarded" than me, because whether it is scared or helpless, I am at least trying to find a way, but they seem to really regard my urine as a universal water for killing ghosts and demons, and they asked me several times after a while, "Zheng Shuang, do you have urine now." ”
I was so annoyed that I couldn't ask it, and I didn't care that Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er were in front of me, and said loudly: "I, don't you have any long guys yourself, take them out and eat them." ”
Lu Dachuan slapped me on the head: "You kid has a bad head, what did you say." ”
I said angrily: "You also know that this is not good, in front of Sister Keqin and Sister Xian'er, I asked me one by one if I had pee, and my face looked good." ”
Liu Changleg said: "When is it now, you still care about these things, if I were a child, I don't need you to say that I would have eaten them earlier." ”
I yelled at Liu Changshan: "Why didn't I find you so annoying before, your urine doesn't work, I heard that the blood on the tip of the tongue can also deal with ghosts, if a ghost troubles you, don't count on me, bite your tongue and spit it." ”
"Kao, how painful it is, how easy it is for you to pee, just drink more water." Liu Changleg took out the kettle as he spoke, "Do you have it now, don't have it, hurry up and drink water again." ”
"Get out, you Shuang Ye is too lazy to talk to you."
In fact, I also know in my heart that our current psychological state is worse than under the lonely mountain of the ancestral ruins of the big-headed villain, if you don't vent the depression in your heart, you don't have to get along with ghosts and us, and you will be crazy even if you are scared and suffocated, but no matter how good we are now, we always have to take care of my face in front of the beauties, and if my life is really in danger, I can kill them with a soak of urine, needless to say, I will also ...... That's what, after thinking about it, I really don't need to care about this, my wet pants are hanging on the tip of the spear, where is there still face,
Lin Xian'er said in a voice that was about to cry: "Don't make any noise, look at ......"
We are noisy, where do we dare not pay attention to the movements around us, without Lin Xian'er's reminder, we can also see that those faint shadows have condensed into a body, and the three of us men instinctively stood back to back in a triangle to protect Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er in the middle, each wielding a spear in case of emergencies,
To tell the truth, I wanted to close my eyes and not look at those things when I saw them rotting out of shape when I was on the bridge, and I didn't have to think about it to know how disgusting and horrible the arms, bodies, and heads behind those hands were, but there was no one to protect us except ourselves, and we had to look at them with wide eyes.
The woods are foggy, looking around, there are "people" everywhere Figures are crowded, they are all walking in the opposite direction of the riverbank, the fog in the distance is not real, I am just surprised how there are so many, and the close ones are a little scary, especially from two or three meters in front of me, some of their clothes, skin and flesh are all rotten, only a skeleton remains; Some of them had rotten clothes on their bodies, their exposed bodies were white and swollen, there were abscesses in some places, and there were countless maggots rubbing in the rotten wounds; Some of the bodies were intact, but their heads were like they had been run over by a big truck, and they were like bloody patties hanging down on their chests, swaying as they walked; Some of the whole half of the body is gone, from top to bottom, the brain, heart, liver, lungs, intestines, and bladder are all hanging outside, and it itself still jumps forward on one leg as if it has no feeling; Some eyes and mouths have become black holes; Some...... I really can't stand it, the fear, the constant churning of my stomach and the feeling of wanting to pee make me want to go crazy, but I still have to grit my teeth and persevere, and occasionally walk over one or two who are as intact as normal people, both men and women have skirts on their bodies, and there are all kinds of gold and silver ornaments on their heads, the difference is that the women's long skirts are particularly elegant, and the men are only up to the knees, and there is a gold belt about five centimeters wide inlaid with precious stones tied around the waist, and it can be seen at a glance from the curly hair and face that it is a Western race,
Whether we want to watch it or not, they keep coming from the river bank, seemingly endless, but the only thing that makes us feel that the situation is not the worst is that when they go to a place two or three meters away from us, they will automatically divert without exception, I don't know if we are afraid of the "magic weapon" we hold, or as some people with Taoism say, ghosts are very afraid of people, and if they are accidentally hit by yang energy, they will also be injured (weak), and even their souls will be scattered.
I don't know how long I persevered, and I don't know how many cold sweats I had, I felt that I had reached the limit, and I couldn't bear it anymore, and I remembered that Lu Dachuan said that he had a way for us to rest in peace, so I asked him what the way was,
"If you don't mention it, I'm so scared that I forget about them." Lu Dachuan said: "Ghosts are afraid of willow trees, peach trees, and pomegranate trees, and if we can find one of these trees in the forest, we can wait under the trees until 'dawn' with peace of mind." ”
"The sword used by the Taoist priest to catch ghosts and the small wooden objects that usually ward off evil spirits are made of peach wood, which means that ghosts are afraid of peach wood, I know this, but why are ghosts also afraid of willow trees and pomegranate trees."
Lu Dachuan said: "The willow tree is where the protector of Guanyin Bodhisattva is located, so the ghosts dare not approach, the female ghost king lives on the pomegranate tree, and the male ghost king lives on the peach tree, and the ghosts dare not approach." ”
I sighed and said, "I thought you really didn't understand anything. ”
Lu Dachuan said: "If you don't understand it, you will eat for a few more years than you, do you know what the origin of using peach wood to drive away ghosts and evil spirits is." ”
I was really uncomfortable in my stomach, I didn't bother to speak, so I pricked up my ears to listen to the following, but I didn't expect Lu Dachuan to say nothing, waiting for me to answer, I bumped him on the shoulder: "Fuck, what's going on you just say it's over, but it's still showing." ”
Lu Dachuan said: "Legend has it that our ancestor Yellow Emperor handed down, said that there is a mountain in the East China Sea in ancient times, called Dushuo Mountain, there is a huge peach tree on the mountain, the branches stretch around, there is a circle of three thousand miles, there is a golden rooster at the top of the tree, the sunrise is announced, there is an arched branch at the northeast end of the tree, the treetops have been crooked, to the ground, just like a natural gate, there are all kinds of demons and ghosts living on Dushuo Mountain, they have to pass through this door to enter and exit, so it is called the ghost gate, the emperor is afraid that the ghosts will go down the mountain to the world to make trouble, sent two gods to guard the ghost gate, one is called Shen Tu, one is called Yu Lei, these two gods one holds a reed rope, one is leading a tiger, the image is ugly and fierce, both can catch ghosts, and can eat ghosts, if there is an evil ghost sneaking out of the ghost door, catch it, or eat it, or tie it up with a reed rope to feed the tiger, because, the Yellow Emperor carved the image of Shen Tu and Yu Lei into a peach man, and hung it on the gate to ward off the evil charm. ”
I listened to Lu Dachuan talk about the truth, and I felt that the burden on my heart was much lighter, after all, he has always been our backbone, and he also understands a little, in case of trouble, it is much better for everyone to find a way together than me alone,
Phew, thinking of this, I'm scolding myself for being a crow's mouth, but I can't help but plan for the worst, of course, it's not that I don't want to take responsibility and push everything to Lu Dachuan, but this burden related to our lives is too heavy, I think there were more than a dozen people when we first set off, and there was a mastiff with strong combat effectiveness, and then look at the only five people left now, we can't afford to be injured or injured,
Thinking of the dead Daddy Boba, Hu Fatzi, and Liu Fashan, I felt uncomfortable again, but I also knew in my heart that now was not the time to be sad, so I forcibly endured the tears rolling in my eyes and urged Lu Dachuan: "Then look for it quickly, I really can't hold on for a second." At this time, two more ghosts walked in front of me, I looked at it with big eyes, the facial features on one face were blurred, only one eyeball hung outside the eye socket, and the other stomach opened a big opening, it kept stuffing the intestines flowing out of it with both hands as it walked, "vomiting" I retched for a while, a stream of acid water came out of my nose, and the tears that I couldn't hold back flowed out of my mouth.
"You're fine." Lu Dachuan patted me on the back,
I waved my hand and straightened up: "Go, go." ”
Liu Changleg said: "Peach trees and willow trees are native tree species in China, and pomegranate trees are native to Iran, Afghanistan and other countries, and Daxizhou sank more than 10,000 years ago. ”
Lu Dachuan looked around: "Let's look around, these things are endless, and it's not a way to spend them like this all the time." ”
"Which way to go." I turned my head around and looked around, and if it weren't for the fact that the things were always walking in one direction, the fog was so thick that I couldn't tell which way the river bank was.
Lu Dachuan said: "It's too scary to pass through them, follow them." ”
"It's really better to look at their backs, but where are they going, in case they suddenly stop somewhere in front of us and don't leave, isn't it even more sad that we are caught in the middle." I voiced my concerns,
"Let's follow along for a while, it's really not okay to just find a big tree to climb up."
Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er, who were surrounded by us, didn't say a word for a long time, and now we decided to move forward, they all said they were afraid, because after the fog came up, the surrounding area became more and more cold, and the five of us were close together, I could always feel their trembling, so I didn't look back for a long time, and now when I turned around, I saw that the eyes of both of them were tightly closed,
Not daring to open their eyes is indeed a big trouble, you must know that people's adaptability is very strong, and the courage will also grow as they adapt to the terrifying environment, that is to say, if they open their eyes, they will slowly adapt to the horror around them, and they will not be so afraid, and this is the truth that they are not strange, on the contrary, fear comes from their own hearts, and they will be more and more afraid if they keep their eyes closed, just like when I first saw a rotten hand, I felt it crawling up my legs, and I was so scared that I peed my pants, And now when I see them a thousand times more terrifying than a hand, I feel more disgusting, followed by fear.
So, Lu Dachuan, and Liu Changleg tried their best to persuade them to open their eyes, and gradually got used to it, they were not so scared, and after persuading them for a long time, their eyes were opened, but in less than a second, one screamed louder than the other, and in an instant, the ghosts who were walking forward in all directions turned their faces to us,
