Chapter 24: Giant Mother Gu
"What do you mean? Don't you want to dig up those evil coins? The's eyes widened.
"It's not all dug up, so we'll take two of them."
"No! No way! It's too wicked to go. What if I hit the evil again? "Cheap refused.
"The last time you hit the evil was because of that soul stone, and now the soul stone has been taken by Huang Yixian to the White Dragon Temple, where will you hit the evil again!" I persuaded.
"What if you run into that female Gu?" Cheap is still a little worried.
"The fence has been destroyed, someone must have gone in, which means that there is no problem, and besides, even if we take away two evil money, there are still five underground, don't you worry, it's okay!"
Hearing me say this, the cheap guy was a little shaken: "Then when are you going to dig it?" ”
I pondered for a while and said, "It's not good during the day, it's easy to be seen, so I can only dig at night." ”
"What! Going at night? The cheap was taken aback.
"What are you afraid of, wasn't it night when we cut down that peach tree last time!"
"But I didn't just hit the evil last time!"
"I didn't say it just now, it was because of that soul stone last time, and this time it will definitely not happen again."
"Yes...... But my eight characters are pure yin! ”
"What's wrong with the eight-character pure yin, is it possible that you won't go out at night in the future?"
……
After some persuasion from me, I finally agreed to go with me at night to dig up the evil money buried in the ground next to the land temple by Huang Yixian, and for the sake of safety, I secretly brought the watermelon knife at home with me. Because Uncle Zhai said that the five elements of the mother Gu are wood, which can be dealt with gold objects, the watermelon knife is a steel product, and the five elements belong to gold, although it is not as good as the Longyun Sword of Bailongguan, but if that thing really comes out of the soil, how can it be dealt with. The lowly also brought all the paper charms we drew before, and according to my proposal, dripped the blood of the cockscomb on the paper charms, but the big rooster at home who crowed was sinned.
After dinner, I and I went to school to make up for our homework under the pretext of going to school, and after talking to Uncle Zhai, we slipped out of the house.
When we arrived at the land temple in the south of the city, the sky had completely darkened, and since there was no moonlight tonight, it was almost dark around.
We walked to the fence and looked around, but no one passed by, and hurried through the torn opening.
However, as soon as he walked into the fence, he hesitated again, he stopped, lowered his voice and said, "Brother, do we really want to dig?" What if it's not the gossip money we're looking for at all! ”
"It's all here, what else do you want, hurry up, help me turn on the flashlight, finish the work and leave!" After I finished speaking, I took out a folding military shovel and walked quickly towards the Land Temple, and the cheap had to follow me closely with a flashlight.
I quickly determined the location where Huang Yixian had the villagers break the ground that day, and took a shovel and dug down.
The cheap guy stood aside, holding a flashlight in one hand to help me shine it, and the other hand was clutching the watermelon knife, his hand was shaking all the time due to nervousness, so that the flashlight light kept shaking. From time to time, he turned his head to look around, even though it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
In fact, at this time, my heart is also a little hairy, and my mind keeps coming up with the hideous and terrifying face of Li Fangtian when he was just dug up, although I know that his body has been cremated, but I always feel that he is staring at the two of us, and it is also a little strange tonight, it is obviously a hot day, but there is silence around, and there is not even the sound of insects, and I don't know if it is because I am digging the ground too much, which scares them.
The unusual silence made the atmosphere even more eerie, and my mind became more and more nervous with all the more cranky thoughts I had, and every time I dug a shovel, my heart would beat with it, for fear that something evil would suddenly emerge from the dirt.
At this time, I suddenly remembered that Master had told me that the so-called ghosts are just the souls that leave the body after death and continue to exist in a state of aura, and this state of aura is actually very fragile and cannot cause substantial harm to people, at most it can only disturb people's thinking, and the reason why people are invaded by ghosts is mostly because of inner fear, so as long as you keep your will strong, you will not be harmed by ghosts.
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and tried to keep my mind from thinking about the mess, and my heart calmed down a little. However, this did not completely eliminate the fear in my heart, and I could only pray that the copper coins would be dug up as soon as possible so that I could get out of this hellish place as soon as possible.
After digging for a while, I suddenly heard a crisp sound of "ding", and the shovel seemed to have touched something hard, so I hurriedly stopped, carefully scraped the soil with my hands, and sure enough, it was a copper coin.
I picked up the copper coin, got rid of the dirt that had stuck to it, and immediately saw the words "slay demons and drive away evil spirits".
I was thrilled and shouted, "Found it!" Got it! ”
"I'll see!" I handed him the copper coin, he looked at it in the palm of his hand, and said happily: "It's really the gossip and evil money that his father said!" ”
"I'll just say that Huang Yixian buried under this must be gossip money! Alright, dig one more and we're gone! "I came to my senses all at once, bent over and continued to dig.
Soon, the second evil money was also dug up, and the cheap man happily put the two gossip money into his pocket, and we turned around and were about to leave, when suddenly there was a sound of "squirming" from the side, it seemed that something was turning the dirt, although the sound was very small, but because the surroundings were very quiet, we could still hear it really.
"What...... What's the sound...... The voice ...... "The tone of the cheap has changed.
"Should...... I guess it's just a mouse. Even though I said this, I was nervous.
We didn't dare to stay longer, so we hurriedly ran out of the fence, but at this moment, there were vague footsteps and talking outside, and we were worried about being discovered, so we hurriedly turned off the flashlight and squatted down on the spot.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and it sounds like there are several people, and the voice of one of them is very familiar to the two of us, it is actually Huang Yixian, I suddenly felt a cold air rushing to my head from the soles of my feet, and my head was blank for a moment.
I didn't expect Huang Yixian to rush back from Bailongguan overnight, and as soon as he came back, he rushed to this ghost place, what should I do!
The area was fenced off, and there was only one forcible opening to enter and exit, and besides, the position where I and I were now only six or seven meters away from the exit was an open space, without any shelter, and as soon as they walked in, they would immediately find the two of us.
I can't run, I can't hide, and there is nowhere to hide, seeing that they are getting closer and closer, I am so anxious that I can't do it, if Huang Yixian finds out that we are here, I am afraid that I will have to be skinned alive by him!
I hesitated to run to the side of the fence, because they should have gone straight to the Land Temple, and the side of the fence was a visual blind spot, and as long as they didn't shine their flashlights on either side, maybe we might have a chance to sneak out.
Who knew that before I could make up my mind, the cheap suddenly let out a loud shout, this time it was completely over, when he screamed like this, I am afraid that he can hear it for half a mile, let alone Huang Yixian.
Sure enough, as soon as the cheap voice fell, a beam of flashlight immediately shone over, and at the same time, Huang Yixian's eager voice came: "Is it you, cheap!" ”
However, the cheap didn't answer, I turned my head to look, and suddenly I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, by the light of the flashlight, I saw that less than half a meter away in front of us, a white giant insect about two feet long, the thickness of a ** leg, facing the two of us slowly raised the front half of the body, the head of the giant insect is very terrifying, it seems to have no eyes, but it has a very large mouth, almost occupying two-thirds of the entire head area, it slowly opened its mouth, and it was covered with dense pointed protrusions, It looks like a mouth full of sharp teeth.
Needless to say, this must be the female Gu that Zhai Bo said, I was in a hurry, and I slashed sideways with a shovel in my hand, but I didn't expect the giant insect's body to shrink suddenly, and it actually dodged.
I couldn't help but be surprised, this thing obviously has no eyes, how did I notice it, I saw that the cheap was still stunned, and I didn't care if Huang Yixian would hear it, so I shouted at him: "What are you doing in a daze!" Grab a watermelon knife and slash it! ”
Only then did the cheap react, waved the watermelon knife in his hand, and slashed at the giant worm, but the giant worm seemed to know the power of the watermelon knife, and its body quickly retreated back a distance of nearly a meter, and the cheap didn't hit it.
Maybe it's because I'm too nervous, I'm careless, I threw the watermelon knife out, the giant insect saw the opportunity, and the body was like a spring that was compressed and then released, and it bounced up, and quickly pounced towards the cheap, the speed was staggering, and the cheap didn't have time to react, I didn't think much about it for a while, and raised my hand to push the cheap slammed.
At the moment when I pushed the cheap away, the giant insect pounced on me, opened its mouth and bit my right arm, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in my right arm that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, as if the whole arm had been penetrated through the flesh and bones.
The first thought that came to my mind was to use the shovel to chop the giant insect, but I couldn't use any strength, my left hand holding the shovel couldn't lift it at all, and my head was also dizzy, and in a trance, my body slowly went limp. The moment I lost consciousness, I felt as if I saw a white light streak across my eyes, and then I had no idea what was going on.
