Mountain Village Horror_Chapter 41: The Art of Soul Sleeping
But I never thought that the so-called powerful ghost keeper would be this little girl!
Then when she came over during the day, did she come to step on a special step and see the situation here!
"Thank you for your hard work." Cheng Ke still looked very relaxed: "It's so troublesome and troublesome, why don't you come to me?" ”
The little girl smiled slightly, regained her original crisp and sweet voice, and said, "I ask you for it, will you give it?" ”
"You're so smart." Cheng Ke's peach blossom eyes are crooked, but this smiling eye is evil and dangerous: "But since you are so smart, why are you still here." ”
"Because I think that since I want your most precious thing, it is better to exchange it for another most precious thing." The little girl's smile was innocent: "In this way, I can help you choose whether you want a fish or a bear's paw." ”
"But, I want both." Cheng Ke's smile was evil, his eyes were also cold, and he said with the usual terrifying momentum: "It just so happens that I also have the ability to have the best of both worlds." ”
"It's okay." The little girl's bright eyes were also like stars: "I'm not in a hurry, it's better for you to give it to me than if you ask for it." ”
"Okay." Cheng Ke turned his head sideways, his peach blossom eyes shining: "I wish you success." ”
The little girl turned to look at me again and said with a smile, "Sister, we'll have a meeting later." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked away.
Looking at the little girl's back, I knew in my heart that according to Cheng Ke's character, it would definitely be impossible to let people go without doing anything, the little girl walked easily, which can only show that the two people are evenly matched, and Cheng Ke and the little girl both understand this, fighting each other can only be a lose-lose situation, so it is better to "cherish each other, there will be a period later".
In order to avoid a head-to-head confrontation, the little girl's target was me, and then she used me to exchange for something she wanted on Cheng Ke.
In other words, the mourning stick that helped the ghost groom find me is hers.
I am the only weakness of the omnipotent Cheng Ke.
I feel a little sad when I think about it.
I just wanted to ask how my second aunt was doing, but Cheng Ke seemed to see through his thoughts, smiled, put a slender index finger to his lips, and pointed back.
I looked sideways and saw that my second aunt was lying on the sofa, her eyes closed, and a lot of dead grass and dirt on her body.
"Did the second aunt fall under the grassy slope?" I hurried over, only to see that my second aunt's face was pale, and she had touched a swollen bag on her forehead, and her arms exposed under her short-sleeved shirt were full of thin scratches.
I remember this kind of scratch, it is a kind of trace drawn by a thorn plant called purple star grass, purple star grass hurts people, so when I was a child, adults told us not to go to play near purple star grass, and we must burn it when we see purple star grass, but today I followed Cheng Ke to take a look at the cemetery, and the cemetery was purple, like it was overgrown with purple star grass!
"Second aunt is fine, but she may have been disturbed just now and needs to rest." Cheng Ke said: "There seem to be some unknown secrets on the second aunt. ”
As soon as he said this, I remembered the first day I was here, and the eyes that were hidden behind the door of the wing.
Not only the second aunt, the second uncle, Lulu, and even the fat man in the grocery store, in my eyes, almost everyone has a secret!
"The groom took his second aunt to the graveyard!" I turned around and looked at Cheng Ke: "Is he going to take his second aunt to blackmail me, so that I don't interfere with their secret marriage?" Isn't this kidnapping! ”
"What do you say?" Cheng Ke said leisurely: "It is natural for a bachelor to want a wife."
"But a ghost marriage is two dead people buried together, which is harmful to the living!" I then asked, "What about the bridegroom?"
"Today's time is up, and he can't get out." Cheng Ke calmly looked at the coffin outside, and said very casually: "If you find him again, forget about killing him."
I was worried for a while: "Cheng Ke, that groom, is it the same group as the ghost cultivator?"
"Oh?" Cheng Ke Taohua's eyes narrowed: "What do you see?"
"I can see that there are so many of them," I hurriedly said, "just a ghost, where can he have such great ability, not to mention marrying a living person who is bold, and it is a virgin boy and a girl who helps in the ceremony, and he is a 'busy man', it must be with the help of the power of the ghost keeper."
Cheng Ke hooked his thin lips, noncommittal, but asked with interest: "What else?" ”
As soon as I saw that Cheng Ke didn't say that I was stupid, I couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, so I continued: "There is a way that is not profitable and cannot be early, and that little girl ghost raiser will not help a dead ghost for no reason, doing such a hurtful thing, I also saw it just now, her ultimate goal is still in you, so let's come to Tanshen Town, maybe, it is a big trap, just like those ghost raisers who died tragically in Yuning, they are eyeing us." ”
Our Yin Yang ghost control technique is also a kind of ghost raising, doesn't Li Minglang mistakenly think that I am a ghost raiser!
"Don't forget, this is Tanshen Town." Cheng Ke touched my head and said thoughtfully: "Everyone here is not ordinary. ”
"Isn't it ......," I frowned, "isn't that groom with the little girl?" Can he have that kind of ability? Ah, by the way, unless he was also a ghost keeper before he died! ”
"A lot of things are coincidences, and there are a lot of things that someone is planning." Cheng Ke muttered: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are ghosts, the same is true." ”
"You are selling Guanzi like this!" I protested: "There are too many strange things in the second uncle's family, and from today's events, it can be seen that what she wants in the end is ......"
Speaking of this, I thought of the word "immortality" in the little girl's mouth, and I couldn't help but feel a chill on my body, as if these strange things that happened to me could be connected with that thing!
Cheng Ke could already see what I was thinking, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Changsheng? ”
I hurriedly nodded: "Changsheng, isn't it what you told me before, that you can get everything and destroy everything?" What is it used for? ”
"All I can say is that you can't just go into anyone's hands." Cheng Ke smiled slightly: "This thing, how much power it has, how much evil it will bring." ”
This one...... It can well be imagined!
"Don't be cranky." Cheng Ke took my hand: "Those things, you don't have to worry about them, if there are things, you just hide behind me." ”
"But that little girl, I don't think it's good." I looked at Cheng Ke and said, "By the way, that sachet was sold to me by her, so she can't be afraid of the mugwort leaves in that sachet, but she has never been able to get close to me, why is this?" ”
"Ghost cultivator, with ghost energy on his body, even if he is a living person, it is not easy to enter the Yang Mansion with a threshold casually, otherwise, he will be injured by the righteousness of the Lord of the Stove in the town house." Cheng Ke seemed to recall some of the past, with a little nostalgia: "He needs the people in the house to invite him in before he can come in." At that time, she had already controlled the lights in the house, and she couldn't turn them on if you wanted to, so she would make excuses and want you to pull her in. ”
No wonder!
"Okay," Cheng Ke rubbed my hair and said, "Go and rest, tomorrow, let's go and see what the groom official is." ”
"Look at the groom's ......" I hesitated and asked, "That little girl, do you know her?" ”
"I don't remember." Cheng Ke's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly: "I can only say that it is a little familiar." ”
Familiar...... If Cheng Ke had seen her before she was sealed, how could she be so young?
There are not only many secrets on Cheng Ke's body, but also so many that they seem to be difficult to touch.
"Cheng Ke......" I looked at him: "Will I bring you a lot of trouble?" ”
Cheng Ke smiled suddenly: "It's clear, I'm the one who caused you trouble." ”
"That's ......," I sighed, "I always feel that things are going too differently than expected." ”
"You are not a god operator, you can predict the prophet." Cheng Ke said with a smile: "Everything that happens in the future is familiar with it in advance, and how boring it is to live that day." ”
"But now it's thrilling......," I sighed, "and I feel like I'm somersaulting on the edge of a cliff every day." ”
"I told you," Cheng Ke's long eyelashes flickered: "There is me." ”
My heart shuddered, was this a promise, or was it ......
"Hmm......" The second aunt suddenly groaned, I quickly turned my head sideways, only to see the second aunt sitting up with her forehead on her shoulder, squinting her eyes, and her face was full of confusion: "Lu Qiao? I'm ...... What's wrong? ”
"Second aunt, don't move yet." I went to get a glass of water for my second aunt: "How are you feeling now?" ”
"My head hurts...... the second aunt frowned: "It's intermittent, I don't remember what happened before." ”
As soon as I heard this, I suddenly felt that my second aunt was much more normal than when I first came, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed: "Second aunt, what do you remember?" ”
"Remember......" The second aunt was just about to say something, when suddenly her whole body shivered, and her pupils shrank suddenly, as if she remembered something that shocked her!
"Second aunt?" I asked tentatively, "Are you alright?" ”
The second aunt's hands were clasped on my wrists, as if they were afraid that I would leave, they couldn't stop trembling, and they denied it: "No...... I didn't think of anything......"
It's clearly lying! But looking at the second aunt's appearance, even if she was very flustered, she was indeed the same as the previous delirious appearance, so I hurriedly comforted me: "Don't worry, you can't remember, don't think about it, rest first, rest well, and talk about it tomorrow." ”
"Where's your second uncle?" The second aunt's thin chest rose and fell violently, and she couldn't hide her fear: "Where did he go?" ”
I hurriedly replied, "The second uncle took Lulu to the hospital for a follow-up, maybe come back tomorrow, don't worry." ”
"Lulu ......" Speaking of Lulu, the second aunt's eyes showed a kind of despair like being mired in the mire: "She's back...... She's still back......"
Coming back?
"Second aunt, calm down." I touched my second aunt's forehead, but I felt that it was hot: "You have to test your body temperature and take some fever medicine." ”
The second aunt took a deep breath, grabbed my hand, and didn't let go: "Lu Qiao, you, can you accompany me today?" ”
She obviously needs someone to take care of her now, so I said to Cheng Ke: "I'll sleep with my second aunt today, she needs someone to accompany her now." ”
Cheng Ke nodded and said, "Take the second aunt to rest, you can go to bed early." Remember, I am in all things. ”
I nodded, followed the guidance of the second aunt, and went to the second aunt's room.
That room is the master bedroom, big and spacious, but maybe there are too many things at home these days to bother cleaning, and there is a little dust hanging on the table.
I helped my second aunt try the thermometer, and sure enough, she had a fever, and she took antipyretic medicine to help her lie on the bed, and she looked at me gratefully: "I'm really sorry, you finally came to visit, but you have to take care of me." ”
I replied, "It's okay, I can do something for you, it's too late to be happy!" ”
Helped the second aunt cover the quilt, I was afraid that the second aunt couldn't blow the wind, so I lay on the side of the window, in the middle of summer, there was no air conditioning, the window could only be opened, there was a slight breeze outside, and I could barely see a few stars, which was quite pleasant.
The second aunt seemed to be unable to sleep, always tossing and turning, I chatted with the second aunt for a few gossips, and comforted: "The body is important, don't think too much now." ”
The second aunt hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "Lu Qiao, you ...... Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world? ”
I was stunned: "This ......"
Looking at the eager eyes of my second aunt, I nodded: "I believe it." ”
"That's great...... second aunt seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, lowered her voice, and said, "I...... I'm just telling you this, Lulu doesn't seem to be human anymore! ”
"What?" Of course I believe that there are ghosts in the world, because of this fate with Cheng Ke, I can't remember how many I have seen!
However, Lulu still eats with me during the day today, goes to the grocery store to talk to the fat man, and most importantly, I have held Lulu's hand, which is indeed warm, and there is indeed a shadow under her feet.
But if Lulu is wrong, I would have noticed it a long time ago, but I was also wondering if she was in trouble, and I never thought that she would be human!
"It's true!" The second aunt took my hand, her eyes were full of urgency: "Lulu, she's really dead!" ”
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at my second aunt fixedly, the second aunt's demeanor was very serious, and when I saw that look, I really hoped that I could believe her.
I hurriedly asked, "Second aunt, tell me why do you think Lulu is dead......
"After she drank the pesticide, she was already dead!" The second aunt said with great certainty: "It's really dead, how can a dead person come back to life!" ”
Of course, I knew that Lulu had eaten pesticides and had been in danger of her life, but I still cautiously asked, "Are you sure?" You're not a doctor after all, so if anything goes wrong, it's ......."
"Impossible!" The second aunt said: "I touched her neck and her chest, and she was lifeless, all of them didn't move, I opened my eyelids, and even my eyes were scattered!" ”
I am a passionate person who loves detective novels, and of course I know that "dilated pupils" is one of the manifestations of brain death, and an important feature of medical judgment of death!
"You think, she's dead, she's dead, how can she come back to life!" The second aunt kept chattering: "She's not human...... However, your second uncle didn't believe me, he said I was crazy...... He said I was crazy......"
I was busy reassuring my second aunt so that I could say something bad and believe her, and her emotions slowly calmed down, because she was too tired, and fell asleep again.
I lay back on my pillow, and I couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts, what my second aunt said, how much is true and how much is false?
After a while, the second aunt murmured again: "I'm sorry for you...... I'm sorry for you......"
As soon as I heard it, I immediately remembered what Brother Hu said, Brother Hu seemed to have said "It has something to do with your second aunt......
Alas, why is there such a confusing thing happening around us?
I was just about to close my eyes when I suddenly heard the sound of banging and banging!
It was that time, when I was taking a shower, that the man who told me not to go out was beaten!
Who is this person?
I secretly opened my eyes, only to see a vague figure, lying on the windowsill, banging on the burglar window!
The shock was so great that I almost screamed, and the hoarse voice was saying, "Shut up, close close, close ......."
I was stunned, shut it up?
Do you mean curtains? I raised my hand, "brushed", and closed the curtains, and there was no sound outside.
I listened with trepidation, only to feel that after a while, faintly, there was a "hissing ......" sound outside, like, someone was sniffing something with their nose!
Knowing that Cheng Ke is also in this house, nothing will happen to me, but this sleep is still spent in fear.
When I woke up again, there was no one around, so I quickly sat up, went out with my head open, and as soon as I opened the door, I bumped into Cheng Ke who was about to come in.
Cheng Ke looked at my unkempt hair and smiled slightly: "You slept well." ”
I brushed my hair and asked, "What about my second aunt?" ”
Cheng Ke replied: "I said that there was something, and I went out in a hurry, and I didn't walk for a long time." ”
"I see...... I pursed my lips and said, "Second aunt, she has also suffered a lot these days. ”
"I helped get her lost soul back." Cheng Ke smiled slightly and said, "So don't worry, I had a fever yesterday, and it was also because of the invasion of yin energy, and if you rest well, you will be fine when yang energy comes back." ”
I nodded and said, "Thank you." ”
Cheng Ke's thin lips hooked: "You are polite." Let's go. ”
"Huh?" I hurriedly asked, "Why are you going?" ”
"Take you to see the brother-in-law from the underworld, what is the way to go." As soon as Cheng Ke raised his hand, I saw him holding a thin red rope in his hand.
"This is ......"
"It's a maze rope." Cheng Ke said: "Follow the vine and touch the melon, look at where that brother-in-law lives." ”
"But at home, it seems that no one is watching the house." I hesitated: "What if someone really comes?" ”
"You don't have to worry." Cheng Ke's eyes fell on the wing: "Here, there are gatekeepers." ”
I remembered those eyes, and I wanted to ask, Cheng Ke had already taken my hand and went out.
"Hey, I haven't combed my hair yet!"
"I like it too." Cheng Ke's peach blossom eyes bent: "Besides me, who else can you show it?" ”
Those eyes are always full of me.
My heart jumped violently, and I kept telling myself that it was a sugar-coated cannonball, and I turned my head away.
Along the red rope, Cheng Ke put away the red rope like a ball of wool, but after collecting a lot, the thread in his hand was not big, so I asked curiously: "What material is this thing made of?" ”
"You want to know?" Cheng Ke showed a mischievous smile: "Then I'll tell you, it's made with the umbilical cord of a newborn, soaked in virgin geranium blood, and refined with the yellow Dashou Palace." ”
Umbilical cord, menstruation and big geckos? My throat felt a little uncomfortable: "It's really hard......"
Cheng Ke said disapprerovingly: "It's easy to use, use the qi of the yin, find the things of the yin, and try it a hundred times." ”
With that, we have arrived at the graveyard full of purple star grass.
The vegetation of the cemetery is lush and leafy, and I wonder what it is nourishing.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Ke didn't go in, but squatted down: "Come up." ”
"Huh?" I was slightly stunned: "What's the matter......"
Cheng Ke didn't wait for me to answer, he stretched out his arm and put me on his back: "I don't like this kind of grass." ”
Because of this kind of grass, it people very well.
Cheng Ke's back was very stable, I remembered the days when I was lame, and I couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
Cheng Ke held my thigh with one hand, continued to hold the rope with the other, and after a while, he walked out of the large cemetery, circled an angle, and continued to walk in the distance.
I immediately remembered that the man was also buried single, which is the kind of "child who died young", so he must have been in a desolate lonely grave.
Finally, under a large willow tree, I saw a small grave.
The little grave bag was bare, and there was nothing.
And the red line is gone here.
I jumped down from Cheng Ke's back and looked at the grave, only to see that the grave was neither new nor old, and it was covered with grass, not like someone would often come to worship.
Besides, this kind of lonely grave is indeed not given a monument, so we don't even know what the name of the groom is. Cheng Ke squatted down, pinched the soil on the grave, twisted it between his slender fingers, and walked around the grave bag a few times, watching his movements, as if he was measuring something with his steps.
Then he broke off a few branches from the tree beside him, and each branch was arranged in the shape of a five-petaled plum blossom around the grave through a certain gap, and took out a ball of thin thread from his bosom, and tried to wrap it around the branch to make it look like a hedge.
I looked at Cheng Ke in wonder: "Are you maintaining and beautifying the grave?" ”
Before Cheng Ke could answer, suddenly an old voice sounded behind us: "This is the technique of sleepy souls, I want the child in this grave to be sealed underneath, and I can't come out!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw a white-haired old lady standing behind us silently, staring at the red line in Cheng Ke's hand with a pair of eyes: "Are you guys damaged?" ”
The old lady was in her seventies, very energetic, dressed in linen Chinese-style stand-up collar short-sleeved trousers, wearing a pair of black cloth shoes, her back was not hunched and her legs were not bent, and she looked old and strong.
I was a little embarrassed, but Cheng Ke raised his face and smiled slightly: "Old man, did you grow up drinking seawater?" The tube is really wide. ”
"This matter, for you, is also nosy?" The old lady sneered: "You eat too much salt, salty?" ”
I also saw that this old lady was not an ordinary person, and quickly said: "Grandma, don't be angry, he is not ......"
"Little girl, I can't see that you are young enough to raise such a ghost." The old lady stared at me with a pair of eyes, and said coldly, "You are from Biluomen, right?" ”
"Biluomen?" When I boarded, the second monk was confused: "What is Biluomen?" ”
"Don't pretend, this body isn't yours, is it?" The old lady poked me with her thin finger honestly and unceremoniously: "No wonder I can do such a shady thing, but I am not afraid of retribution." ”
"I really don't know what you mean by Biluomen." I could hear that the old lady was not an ordinary person, so I hurriedly said: "I am a relative, Yang Yunchang is my grandfather, and it is definitely not from an unknown source." ”
"Yang Yunchang?" The old lady was stunned for a moment: "You, is it Lu Qiao?" ”
I was also stunned: "How do you know me?" ”
