Chapter 190: The Paper Burner
At this time, the green-headed ghost was already about to catch up, and we were all in a hurry, and suddenly heard Chen Xingyong say that there was a way, so we asked him what the way was?
Chen Xingyong said: "Didn't the evil ghost burn a lot of paper people for him in the yang world, and we can also burn paper people for the old man as helpers." ”
When I heard it, this method was indeed very good, but where to find so many paper figures now?
I said, "It's a pity that there are no paper figurines to burn here, and this method is useless." ”
By this time, the green-headed ghost had already pounced on us a few dozen meters away, exuding resentment, and his eyes were full of anger at me.
"Dao Chief, run away!" The old man said with a look of despair.
"So what are you going to do?" I say. I'm sure that if we leave, the father and daughter will definitely be offended, and the woman will have to be robbed by the blue-headed ghost again.
The woman wept and said, "Don't worry about us, go quickly, or it will be too late." ”
I've never seen a ghost so affectionate, and when the crisis comes, it doesn't pull the last straw, but lets us go. To be honest, I was moved in my heart, but at the same time, I also knew in my heart that even if I stayed, it would be useless, and I would only lose my own life.
"Sir, let's go!" Chen Xingyong was also anxious. He said: "Let's hurry to Liujia Village, where there is a paper shop, and maybe we can send rescue soldiers to snatch people back before they get married." ”
The old man also said: "Dao Chief, let's go, if the Dao Chief has the heart to save me, just do what this little brother says, and send rescue soldiers to rescue our father and daughter!" After saying that, the old man's crutch struck the lid of the coffin in the middle of the road three times, and the coffin was erected, and when the lid was opened, he urged us in.
Besides, the green-headed ghost, who had already rushed a few steps away from us at this time, was about to pounce on us, pointed at me and shouted, "Don't try to run! ”
"Wait for us, I'll definitely send rescuers down!" Seeing that things were no longer violable, I had no choice but to hug my fist at the old man, ask the old man's name, and then get into the coffin with Chen Xingyong......
As soon as he entered the coffin, the sound of the ghosts on the street suddenly disappeared, and it was dark in front of him, and after taking a few steps forward, his eyes lit up, and there was a bright moon hanging in the air above his head, and under the moonlight was a desolate weedy field, and a path under his feet stretched into the distance, and the black houses on that side were obviously a small village.
Chen Xingyong pointed to the black and oppressive houses in the distance and exclaimed excitedly: "Sir, that's Liujia Village!" We're finally out there! ”
"yes, it's finally out!" I also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the thick night, and the mountains in the distance, and listening to the sound of insects and birds chirping from time to time, let me know that this is indeed the yang world.
Looking back at his back, there was no coffin behind him, but a ruin, proving that he was once a small village, some adobe houses still left low broken walls, and the weeds were full of collapsed beams and door frames, endless desolation.
Looking at the ruins behind us, it was as if the quaint streets we had seen before were a dream, and now it was as if we woke up from a dream, and everything had turned into nothingness.
Chen Xingyong, who was on the side, pointed to the village in the ruins behind him and said, "Sir, this is an uninhabited village, and what we saw before was not an uninhabited village. ”
I don't need Chen Xingyong to remind me that I knew that I was just blinded by a ghost just now, so I broke into the uninhabited village of the underworld.
Thinking of the poor father and daughter in the underworld, my heart plucked, not to say how pitiful the father and daughter were, but only to remember that the two of them were so affectionate and righteous, and let us lie first at the critical moment, I couldn't let them have an accident.
When I left, I promised them that they would wait for me, and that I would send them helpers. So, at that moment, I turned around and pulled Chen Xingyong and said, "Quick, take me to Liujia Village to find a paper shop!" ”
Chen Xingyong naturally understood what I meant, and immediately ran towards Liujia Village in the night ahead of me......
The two of them carried Liu Shun's body in the night and ran desperately towards the village, but they couldn't run to the destination.
However, we dare not stop, because if we stop for a while, the father and daughter in Hades will suffer a little more, and even if the green-headed ghost finishes worshipping the bride, it will be too late.
So, although we were so tired that we couldn't breathe well, we still didn't dare to rest, and we kept running.
I don't know how long we have been running, when we finally ran into Liujia Village, we were already tired and sweating, our clothes were already soaked with sweat, Chen Xingyong's face turned pale, I guess he was also tired to the limit. Of course, I'm not much worse, I don't even have the strength to speak.
As soon as they entered the village, a large number of dogs barked in the village. It was still the middle of the night, and the whole village was dark, and no one was lit up, and only a dog barking could be heard in the silent village.
After entering the village, Chen Xingyong took me straight to the paper shop in the village, and walked about two or three hundred meters to the village, when he stopped, pointed to an old house on the edge of the village road, and said, "When you arrive, you will ...... This is it! ”
After speaking, he left Liu Shun's body on the side of the road and went to knock on the door.
I took a look at this house, this house is lonely in the village, there are no neighbors one or two hundred meters away, the house is like the old house before the liberation, all made of wooden planks, in the countryside also called the door panel house.
was slapped so violently by Chen Xingyong, the door panel was banging, and soon through the crack in the door panel, I saw that the light was lit inside, and then an old man's voice came from the house, but the voice was a little angry, and asked: "Who, who is coming to shoot the door of this paper shop without sleeping so late!" ”
I shouted to the inside: "Uncle, please open the door, I have an urgent matter to buy your paper man!" ”
"This is really weird, where is there a paper buyer in the middle of the night, come back tomorrow!" There was a rejection in it.
I said: "Uncle, I am Mr. Yin and Yang who walks the rivers and lakes, this time I really need your paper man to save my life, and I hope my uncle can help!" ”
At this time, I had no choice but to show my profession and let him understand that I was really in a hurry.
As soon as the other party heard what I said, although he didn't speak again, I heard a sound of footsteps coming towards the door, and it was obvious that the other party got up and opened the door for us.
Soon, the footsteps came to the door, and then the door panel was removed from the inside piece by piece, and an old man in his fifties poked his head out to look at us, and then said, "You are Mr. Yin and Yang?" ”
I nodded, for fear of delaying time, so I directly told the other party: "It's here, to be honest, we just came from the uninhabited village and broke into the underworld, where there are two poor yin ghosts who were bullied by a group of evil ghosts, so I want to borrow your paper figure and send rescuers to rescue those two poor yin ghosts." ”
"Is this the case?" The old man was stunned, obviously shocked.
At this time, Chen Xingyong was in a hurry, he said: "I didn't lie to you, you quickly open the door and take the paper figure out!" ”
The old man nodded and hurriedly removed the door panels piece by piece, and then I saw that the room was very shabby, just an old table of eight immortals, and a few wooden chairs, and there were all kinds of paper objects in the whole living room, including paper people and paper horses, and paper bridges and paper houses, which can be described as varied, everything.
I said to the old man on paper: "Uncle, how many paper people are there in your store, please move them all out to me, I will naturally not give you less money." ”
The old man said, "There are probably only a dozen of them, but you really went to the underworld?" ”
"Yes, don't you believe it, uncle?" I nodded.
The old man nodded and said, "Faith, because in the early years, ghosts from uninhabited villages came to the door of my shop in the middle of the night and asked me to burn paper for them." Therefore, when you say that you have seen a ghost in an uninhabited village, I naturally believe it. ”
I was surprised to hear this, I didn't expect him to be quite evil in his line of paper. But he believed that I was naturally better, and he saved me too much explanation.
The old man pointed to the two paper figures in the living room and said to me, "You move these two out first, there are still in the back room, I'll help you move them." ”
I nodded, and then Chen Xingyong and I carried the two paper figures to the side of the road outside the house, while the old man who tied the paper moved the paper figures out of the house one by one.
After a few back and forth, the old man clapped his hands and said, "No, all the paper people are here." ”
I counted a total of sixteen paper figures, and I thought to myself, these sixteen paper figures are no match for the green-headed ghost. So he asked the old man who tied paper: "Uncle, do you have a paper horse here?" And paper swords, paper knives and the like? ”
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go get it for you!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and entered the house, and I hurriedly asked Chen Xingyong to help. I, on the other hand, took out yellow paper and pen and ink, and wrote down the name of the old man in the underworld, so that after these paper figures were burned, they could receive it smoothly. It's just that I also attached another sentence on the yellow paper: whether it is safe or not, please tell me in the water bowl!
Soon, Chen Xingyong and the old man carried out three paper horses and six paper swords, and I asked the old man if there was any more, and he said no, so I stopped.
Next, I put three of the paper figures on the paper horse and let it hold the paper sword in my hand, so that it was much more imposing.
In this way, all sixteen paper figures were made and placed in a pile, six of them with swords in their hands, and three on white horses.
The yellow paper cover with the old man's name on it was pasted on the paper man, and Chen Xingyong had already lit the torch at this time, and then burned the sixteen paper figures.
Looking at the raging fire burning in front of me, I didn't have any confidence in my heart, I didn't know if these sixteen paper figures could help the poor father and daughter......
