Chapter 177: Inquiry
To be fair, this battle was not intense. But Wushuang and I still watched in horror. They used the most primitive wooden sticks, kitchen knives. Chop another group of people who don't seem to be different, or ghosts, to the point where blood splatters, and people turn on their backs.
I tried to stand up, but my legs were numb. Wushuang wanted to help me, but she herself was no better.
The two of us, who were supporting each other, finally sat up from the ground. This night was tossed, and the whole body was covered with dirt. We don't care about taking pictures anymore. Walk back slowly.
At this time, it was not too bright, and as soon as we saw the grass shed, we saw a group of people walking towards us.
I waved my hand and shouted at them, "We're back." "
Those people were also excited, and ran quickly towards me and Wushuang.
I saw that except for the sloppy Taoist priest, everyone in the grass hut came, even Wen Yu, who was injured, was pestered by the abbot, limping step by step, trying to follow everyone.
The fat man said, "How? Did you catch the ghost? "
I shook my head: "It's a bit difficult. "
The thin man said on the side: "Whether you catch ghosts or not, it's good that you two have nothing to do." You've been gone for so long, we wanted to go to you, but"
Speaking of which, the thin man flickered a little with words.
I asked curiously, "But what?" "
The fat man laughed lewdly: "But I saw you and Wushuang hugging under a tree, so I didn't bother you." "
Wushuang was furious: "Fart, am I so bad at vision?" "
I waved my hand: "What you said, my conditions are not bad." "
Wushuang glared at me: "What conditions do you have?" Wealthy or suave? "
I was a little unhappy: "Wushuang, this is your fault, how can you have such a vision like those worldly people?" Aren't we the Taiyuan Five Musketeers? "
Wushuang was stunned by what I said, and he was confused: "yes." "
I was joking with Wushuang when Wen Yu said, "Have you seen those ghosts?" "
I nodded, "See." It's scary. "
Everyone was surprised and said, "Terrible? "
I nodded, and went over the previous night.
The thin man pondered for a while and said, "According to my experience, these ghosts are very obsessed, they must have some great hatred before they were alive, they fought all day long, and then slowly died. As a result, I can't put my mind at ease when I become a ghost, so I continue to fight."
Then the thin man looked at me: "Based on what you saw last night, do you think we have the ability to take those little ghosts?" "
I shook my head: "It looks easy, but it's not necessarily the same." On the surface, they're just ordinary ghosts. But the murderous spirit and resentment are heavy. I've heard Master say that the heavier a ghost's grievances are, the easier it is to become a powerful ghost. A few of us are competing with hundreds of powerful ghosts, and even if we win, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort. "
The thin man nodded: "The best way to deal with ghosts is naturally to influence them." The resentment dissipates, the reincarnation of the reincarnation, the wandering of the wandering. It's best not to let them go away without having to. "
Wushuang looked at the two of us: "What are you two going to do?" As a lobbyist, convince these ghosts to value peace? "
I thought for a moment and said, "I think it's better to start at the source and figure out why they are fighting." "
The thin man obviously agreed with my proposal. We asked the sheep herder, "Do you know why these ghosts are fighting with each other?" "
The sheep herder listened to us talk about some gods and ghosts, and he was already fascinated, and when he saw us asking, he shook his head again and again: "I don't know the way, I don't know the way, I don't know the ghosts here, how do I know about the fight between them?" "
I asked the sheep herder, "How many villages are there around here?" "
The sheep herder pointed to the east: "Five miles up, there are several villages. It's all pretty close, and our village is over there. "
I said, "Those ghosts may have been alive in these villages since they were alive, so let's go and ask." "
The thin man nodded: "Okay." "
We discussed it, and after breakfast, we went to ask someone.
When Wushuang and I returned to the grass hut, we saw that the sloppy Taoist priest was still asleep, and his body was scarred as before, but those wounds were the color of flesh and blood, and it was clear that he had seen well.
We packed up for a while, and then we set off for the villages that the sheep herders had mentioned.
Before leaving, Wushuang pointed to the sloppy Taoist priest and said, "What should he do?" Shall we leave him here? "
The abbot said with a nonchalant face: "It's okay to stay here, this kid doesn't know how long he will sleep." If you must take him away, let's talk ugly in front, I don't carry him, who likes to carry him. "
The thin man pointed at the fat man, "You stay and watch him." "
The fat man waved his hand again and again: "I won't stay, there are ghosts here." "
Wushuang looked at Wen Yu: "Wen Yu, your legs and feet are not very neat, otherwise, you will stay and watch the sloppy Taoist?" "
Wen Yu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I can go, I won't drag you back." "
I waved my hand: "Forget it, it's only a few miles anyway, let's inquire around, ask about the matter and come back, it is estimated that it will not take a few hours, let the sloppy Taoist priest sleep here first." "
The thin man carefully picked up a piece of black charcoal from the ground, and then wrote a line on the wall, which was nothing more than telling the sloppy Taoist priest that if he woke up, he would not be in a hurry if he couldn't see us, we would go to a nearby village and come back immediately.
Then, we set off.
When I was halfway there, I suddenly slapped my head: "Oh, I forgot one thing, we caught a little ghost last night, so just ask him." "
The thin man looked at the sun in the sky: "Now ask?" At this time, it was almost noon, and when the yang energy was at its peak, I was worried that this little ghost would not be able to bear it. I'm afraid it's not good if you get your soul gone. "
I nodded: "Let's go ask the villagers first, and then ask this little ghost when the sun goes down." "
Everyone nodded. Then they walked into the village.
When a few of us walked into the village, a few young people greeted the sheep herder: "Third child, are you back?" "
The sheep herded enthusiastically: "It's back, it's back." Then he grabbed the young men and asked, "Do you know what happened to that wasteland?" "
The young men asked, "Is that the wasteland where you herded your sheep?" "
The sheep herder nodded: "Yes." There it is. "
The young men shook their heads, and they all said that they didn't know what to do.
The thin man came up with an idea: "You ask how old you are." "
The sheep herder thought for a while: "I'll take you to find Second Master Liu, he is not a young man, and he is not dazzled or deaf, and he has stayed in a big city, he is our most knowledgeable, and it is convenient to ask something." "
We followed the sheep herder to Liu Erye's house. As soon as I entered the door, I felt that the yard was very clean, and there was almost no clutter to be seen. The living utensils are all placed in an orderly manner, and it is not difficult to see that Liu Erye is a very well-behaved person.
The sheep herder shouted in the yard: "Second master, are you there?" Second master? "
Someone in the room agreed: "Who?" Although the voice was a little old, it was full of energy and loud. As soon as I heard it, I knew that the person who spoke must be in good health.
Sure enough, a burly old man came out of the house. The old man's eyes were sharp, staring at a few of us: "Who are you?" "
The sheep herder stepped forward and shouted affectionately: "Second master, these are my friends." "
The second master's eyes were like eagles, as if he wanted to see through the sheep, and then he shook his head: "Don't try to lie to your second master, you are herding sheep outside the wilderness, where are your friends." "
The sheep herder smiled: "I just met, I just met." "
Then he said: "Second master, let me ask you about something, do you know about that wasteland?" That's where I herd. "
The second master's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal, and he shook his head: "I don't know what to do." "
The sheep herder didn't seem to be satisfied, and asked, "I really don't know what to do?" These friends said they had seen a ghost in the wasteland. Two groups of ghosts, fighting each other. "
The second master's demeanor immediately changed, and he muttered to himself: "Two groups of ghosts? Fight? "
The sheep herder nodded: "Yes." You know the way, right? Looking at your demeanor, you must know the way. "
Second Master Liu waved his hand again and again: "Let's go, I really don't know what to do." "
In fact, all of us can see that Second Master Liu must have something in his heart. How can we go? The thin man stepped forward and said, "Uncle, I'm a little thirsty, like drinking saliva." "
Second Master Liu looked at him, sighed, and said, "Come in." It's come all the way, and I can't even let you drink my saliva. "
We followed Second Master Liu to the house. It's a cool house. Also cleaned up. The most amazing thing is that there is a great statue hanging on the wall. There's an incense case under the photo. There are three pillars of incense burning on it.
Each of us had a glass of water in front of us, taking a sip while trying to find a way to apply Liu Erye's words. But Second Master Liu deceived and didn't say anything.
A few of us worked from noon to evening, and we didn't hear anything useful.
Wushuang couldn't help her temper at first, she stood up and said, "Forget it, let's go." "
As soon as she stood like this, the ghost suppression talisman in her arms fell out, impartially, and fell right into the teacup. Soon, the rune paper was soaked.
It was at this moment that a chill suddenly erupted in the room. Immediately afterwards, a figure emerged from the spell, who was Lao Chen?
Old Chen stared at a few of us viciously. Suddenly, I saw a picture on the wall.
He immediately ran over, fell to his knees and shouted three times.
We looked at Lao Chen in surprise. Then he carried a peachwood sword and guarded the door.
When Lao Chen finished worshipping, we were about to ask. Suddenly, Lao Chen saw Second Master Liu again. He was suddenly furious, grinning his teeth, and was about to pounce on Liu Sanye.
