Chapter 10: The Old Ghost

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

According to rumors, when the old ghost was young, he had a slightly more elegant name called Mr. Ghost. And the reason why the old ghost was called a traitor by Bao Ye and others was because this old ghost used to be a pivotal figure in the Nanwu Group. Of course, in terms of seniority and seniority, he far surpassed Zhang Hefang and the others, and even Ajuna and the old village chief of the Gu system were only barely a little bit higher than the old ghost, and as for the comparison between the old witchcraft methods, the old ghost may not lose to these two people.

We were a group of ten people, walking through the dark and wide fields, while listening to Zhang Hefang tell about the deeds of the old ghost when he was young. However, before telling it, Zhang Hefang also told me that the old ghost, his life experience has always been very mysterious, even in today's era of developed information, still not able to accurately understand the true identity of the old ghost, some of the information we have learned, most of them are information passed on by the mouth of the same way, whether it is really true, no one knows.

It is rumored that the old ghost entered the industry at the age of nine and began to follow the old witchcraft and black witchcraft. Under whom? Unknown. But there is one thing that everyone agrees with, that is, the old ghost, whose talent is definitely a shocking genius that only comes out in a hundred years. The reason why he is called Mr. Ghost is mainly due to the type of black witchcraft he practices - ghost cultivation.

According to the introduction of fellow practitioners, the art of raising ghosts is not difficult, but most of the achievements of most people in this area are superficial, and the real advanced art of raising ghosts, in this world, I am afraid that only old ghosts can say one, two, three.

Of course, a large part of the reason why the truly advanced art of raising ghosts has been lost in the rivers and lakes is because many wizards are unwilling to rest on such techniques. First of all, there is no doubt that the art of raising ghosts is black witchcraft, it is not like Xiangxi chasing corpses, the art of chasing corpses is to help the deceased return to their hometowns and return to their roots, which is a good thing. However, the art of raising ghosts is often for their own selfish interests and imprisons the soul of the deceased without authorization, and uses it for their own use. Nowadays, except for some ghost keepers in places like Malaysia in Nanyang, there are very few people in the mainland who are engaged in this kind of thing. Secondly, the art of raising ghosts is contrary to morality and morality, and it is rumored that the caster will die of his yang life.

The spells are dangerous and easy to die, and these two reasons alone are enough to make many wizards shy away. However, the old ghost has been fond of this since he was a child. This has something to do with the old ghost's personality. It is said that the old ghost was a man of great care and cruelty, and that even those who were kind to him would be killed mercilessly if it interfered with his vital interests in the slightest. Moreover, the old ghost, although nominally a member of the Southern Witch, in fact, he is completely an independent member of any Southern Witch gang. The old ghost is a maverick and has great courage, and often walks alone in many evil and dangerous places. He also did many very immoral things, such as stealing dead babies, digging graves and stealing corpses, etc.

However, Zhang Hefang's other description surprised me a little, that is, although this old ghost is a Southern Witch, he does not believe in the existence of a Wu Sect in this world. As for a genius like the old ghost, many people in Nanwu naturally want to take him under his command and contribute to the resurrection of the Wu Sect, and there are even many people who are optimistic that he will become one of the new Six Imperial Attendants. However, the old ghost was never willing to do this, and he only cared about his own research. There is also a reason why he finally defected to the organization.

For a long time, the old ghost has always been very interested in such strange things as Yin soldiers borrowing the way, but because of his special identity, after several cases of stealing corpses, he has become a wanted criminal and has received the attention of the organization. At this time, the military region often strictly blocks the news, and it is difficult for outsiders to really see what is going on with the Yin soldiers.

It is also a little strange to say that although this old ghost does not believe in the existence of the Wu Sect, he is convinced of the existence of the underworld. According to rumors, since he was thirty years old, he began to study a technique called the "Yin Soldier Ghost Array", which lasted for twenty-three years, but no one really knew how it was progressing. The old ghost always believed that the breakthrough of the technique of the "Yin Soldier Ghost Array" was to penetrate the Yin Soldier and borrow the Tao. For this reason, he resolutely betrayed Nanwu (it is not appropriate to say this, because this old ghost himself never considered himself to belong to Nanwu) and joined the government organization instead. The organization naturally attaches great importance to such a talent, according to rumors, after the Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan also had a large-scale Yin soldier borrowing the way, the old ghost got his wish to witness the Yin soldier borrowing the Tao, and made some progress for his own "Yin Soldier Ghost Array" technique research.

However, such an approach obviously could not be praised by other peers, and the quid pro quo between the old ghost and the organization was to leak a large number of top-secret events of the Nanwu group to the government, and for this reason, the old ghost began to encounter assassination and pursuit by the people of the Nanwu group a few years ago. Although the old ghost is very capable, the tiger is no match for the ground snake, and on a few occasions, the old ghost really almost died in Huangquan. The old ghost is afraid of death, because he has been a ghost keeper all his life, and if he dies, those unjust souls will naturally not let him go. For this reason, the old ghost had fled to Hong Kong for refuge a few years ago, and since then, he has not been heard from for several years. The return this time was really unexpected by Zhang Hefang and others.

Our group continued to run through the fields, looking out at the sky, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was almost no stardust. In the process of walking, there are many strange movements around us from time to time, if I walk here alone, I am afraid I will feel very scared, but now, these people around me are all wizards, not to mention demons and monsters, even if the Lord of Hades is coming, I am afraid I may not feel afraid. Rao is like this, there will still be a dark shadow in the field from time to time, and I don't know if it is a vole or a weasel.

We had been walking almost all night, and it was about three o'clock in the morning that we faintly saw a few faint lights in the distance.

However, to me, in the middle of a vast and open field, I suddenly saw a few lights at the foot of a distant mountain, and this incident, no matter how I looked at it, seemed very strange. Not because the light was erratic, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, but because the time when the light appeared was wrong.

I glanced at my phone, it was 3:12 a.m., who would be lighting the lights in the field at this time?

I expressed my doubts to Zhang Hefang, but Zhang Hefang smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is a secret agreement between our Nanwu, and I have already greeted the informant here before I came, so you don't have to worry about this problem." ”

I nodded, and walked up with the others, and when I entered the small village, I could often hear the crows of chickens all around, which also calmed my heart a little.

There are about a dozen families living in the village, and only one of them is lit up. I naturally subconsciously walked towards the house, but, to my surprise, I was just about to walk in that direction, but Zhang Hefang suddenly grabbed my shoulder and said, "Mr. Fan, you are going in the wrong direction." ”

I was stunned for a moment and said, "This is the only one here with the lights on?" ”

Zhang Hefang smiled but did not say a word, but took me to continue walking, and after passing the house with the lights on, he stopped at the door of the fourth simple bungalow after three bungalows. It dawned on me that although this trick seems to be very common, it can often play a very important role. For example, if Zhang Hefang's informant installs some sensors or something in a room with lights on, and the informant himself stays in another house, if an outsider breaks into the lighted room, then the informant will get the message and escape as quickly as possible. The principle is simple, but practical.

A few of us came to the door, which was painted blue.

Zhang Hefang slammed the door with his fingers, I found that it was a very rhythmic knocking sound, I listened carefully, and found that it was knocked three times first, one empty, and then five knocks, I snickered in my heart, is this necessary?

At this time, an old voice suddenly came from inside the house, saying, "Who is outside the door in the middle of the night?" ”

Zhang Hefang replied as he sold: "Returning from the distant mountains at dawn." ”

The room snorted coldly and said, "I don't understand what you're saying." ”

Zhang Hefang replied again: "I can't answer what you asked." ”

The house scolded in a low voice, "It's really a sin, it's a big night, get out." ”

Zhang Hefang said: "I'll come back tomorrow." ”

After that, for a long time, there was no sound in the room. I thought that Zhang Hefang had a problem with the code, but I didn't expect that at this time, Zhang Hefang buckled the door again, still in the same way as before.

And this time, the person inside the door did not ask, but directly opened the door, through the blue door panel, I saw a terrifying face, a one-eyed old man holding a faint oil lamp on his face, looked at Zhang Hefang nervously, and whispered: "You are here." ”
