Volume 1: The Rise of the Witch Clouds_Chapter 14: Resentful Ghosts Eat Incense
The fourth uncle is in the mountains, even if I want to find him now, I can't find him, I have to deduce that the fourth uncle can't interrupt the grandmother's excess, so they went to describe it to my father with a frightened expression, and the answer I got was that the fourth uncle couldn't come out.
They gathered together and discussed for a while, and when they saw that they really couldn't invite the fourth uncle, they dared to leave each other.
The dogs outside were barking louder and louder, and it looked like the dirty stuff was running rampant.
It didn't take long for four or five groups of people to come to find the fourth uncle, if we continue to push it like this, it will be a death and not a rescue, and our family's reputation will definitely be very bad.
I knelt under the shed, my head spinning around and trying to figure out what to do, and my heart was very restless.
After thinking about it for a while, he thought of a way, that is, to sense the creek to come out.
It's been three days since I dripped blood with Xi'er, she wasn't as repulsive as before, and I wasn't so afraid of her anymore, but it was the first time I felt her, I shouted her name in my heart, thinking about her appearance, and when I shouted it for the seventh time, Xi'er finally came out.
"What are you looking for me to do?" She stood at the foot of the mourning hall and asked me.
In order to sense her out, I sweated profusely, wiped it with my hand, and told her about the situation in the village.
She also seemed to sense that something was wrong in the village, and turned to me and asked, "Is it the 14th day of the seventh lunar month today?" ”
I thought about it for a while, but I don't know what month it is, and I don't know if it's the 14th. But I remember that the fourth uncle said that it will be the first day of the lunar calendar in a few days, so today will definitely not be the 14th day of July, so he said no.
"It's not the Midyear Festival, how can there be so many ghosts to disturb people?"
I didn't know what the Midyear Festival was, so I asked Xi'er what to do.
"Those ghosts didn't hurt you, what do they do?"
I hurriedly explained that the villagers had come to ask for help, and if someone died, they would hate my family.
"Let's go out and have a look."
The fourth uncle said that my body attracts ghosts, and now those ghosts are not looking for me, if I go out, won't I become the target of the ghosts, so I will be worried.
Xi'er turned her head to look at me, with a strange expression on her face, "It's okay, I can get on your body, so that the aura on your body is covered, and they won't haunt you." ”
The dogs outside barked like crazy, and I was afraid that these ghosts were really going to hurt people, so I agreed.
Xi'er didn't even say hello, she rushed towards me, I felt a cold breath rushing into my body, and when I turned my head to look around, I found that the surroundings were white, and it was different from when the fourth uncle took my soul out of my body.
It turns out that this is the world of ghosts, and everything you see is white.
"Let's go, let's get out." Xi'er's voice came from my body.
"Is this what I do?" I couldn't understand where Xi'er's voice came from, so I had to bow my head and say to my chest and abdomen.
"Well, I only get on your body, and I don't control your body."
My father and aunt were still in the back room to keep a watch for my grandmother, I got up and quietly walked out of the door, and soon I saw two ghosts in the white mist, their feet three feet off the ground, drifting, looking left and right, I quickly followed.
But not long after the two ghosts drifted around, they got into a house through the chimney, and in a short time I heard the screams of the house.
"It is said that people are afraid of ghosts, but in fact, ghosts are also afraid of people, and there is fire on people's shoulders, and only when people are sick or their yang energy is weak, ghosts dare to approach people. It's strange that today isn't the 14th of July. Xi'er in the body said suddenly.
Grandma's soul was all taken away by the ghosts, and I was afraid that these ghosts would harm people, so I said that I would go up and drive these two ghosts out.
Xi'er called out to me, "Don't go, it's useless if you go, I'm on you, it's true that you can contact the ghosts, but you are not their opponent, besides, the whole village is now wandering ghosts, we still have to think of other ways." ”
After barking for a while, the dogs in the village stopped barking, and there was a deathly silence around them.
Although the dog is spiritual, when it is too frightened, it will lie on the ground with its tail between its legs, and its mouth will make a whining sound, and it will no longer dare to bark.
I felt that I couldn't wait any longer, and was about to rush into the house of a frightened screaming house, when Xi'er suddenly said, "Do you have any incense in your house?" ”
Because the fourth uncle is a Taoist priest, grandma often incense Sanqing statues, and now there are many more in the side room.
"What do you want incense for?" I don't know why Xi'er suddenly asked what the incense was doing at this time.
"These ghosts should be driven by people, although I don't know what the purpose is, but the ghosts eat incense, and even the thirst for blood food, this will not change, you find the upwind direction of the village entrance, find a large bundle of incense and insert it there, see if it is useful."
I didn't expect that ghosts also like incense, so I quickly ran back to my grandmother's side room to find a large bundle, paid attention to the wind direction, it seemed to be a southeast wind, ran to the entrance of the village in the dark, and began to light incense.
I originally wanted to light them all, but Xi'er asked me to order a dozen or so first, and see the effect first.
After lighting the incense, Xi'er let me watch from a distance, and sure enough, after a while, a few ghosts came out of several nearby houses, lying on the incense and greedily inhaling the incense.
"It seems to work." I couldn't help but cry, but at the same time, I was curious, Xi'er is also a ghost, does she also like incense?
Probably because of my body, she was able to know my thoughts, "Although I also like incense, but I can control myself, I will not blindly draw yang energy and blood food from living people, I only hate those who harm me." ”
Just as Xi'er was talking, more than a dozen ghosts floated over, it seems that the ghosts in the village have almost been lured, and they are about to leave happily, but Xi'er said, "This doesn't work, ghosts eat incense, the incense burns much faster than usual, and it will burn out in a while, so many ghosts, these incense must not be enough to suck, and when they finish sucking this incense, they will also harm people." ”
"What then?"
"The rest of these incense, find a locust forest, put the incense in front of the locust forest, they are full of incense, and meet the locust wood they like, they will definitely rest in the locust forest tonight, and they will not harm people anymore."
"Do ghosts like locust trees?"
Xi'er hummed and said, "Of course, Huai, it's a ghost wood, all ghosts like it, and I'm no exception." ”
Hearing her say this, I was not afraid of her at all, and it seemed that she was really grateful that I had released her from the curse, so I slowly got up and left the fragrant ghosts, and found a dense forest of black locust trees.
When the ghosts had finished eating the incense I had just planted, I lit the rest of the incense and planted it in the black locust forest.
The ghosts were once again attracted by the incense, and the flies crowded around them, and there was a strange cry in their ears, which was quite joyful to think of.
As Xi'er said, these ghosts of shadow pupils did not come out again after burrowing into the black locust forest.
Soon after we left, I heard the sound of chickens crowing all over the place, and Xi'er said to me, "Don't worry, they won't be coming back tonight, how can you thank me?" ”
I was stunned, "I'll make you a locust wood plaque and invite you to eat incense." ”
She chuckled, "Forget it, I don't want to be offered yet." With that, she returned to the ring.
I was scared to death by a ghost, but I actually took in a female ghost and saved the whole village, I couldn't believe it.
Until dawn, sure enough, no ghosts came out to make trouble again.
But there was a shouting outside, and I went out to know that He Da was dead and dead.
I ran to He Dasheng's house to take a look, his skin was covered with black spots, a bit like leprosy, his mouth was open, his skin was yellow, and his toes were very straight.
There was a new cry in the village, and four people had died in the village during this period of time, Cai Lanlan, Qian Mazi, my grandmother, plus He Dasheng, and the villagers came to the door again and asked to see my fourth uncle.
But if you find the fourth uncle now, all his efforts will be in vain, and if the little devil can't be subdued, it will be difficult to find the guy who is hurting people behind him.
My father knew the pros and cons of this, or persuaded the villagers who would find the fourth uncle in the future, I saw the disappointed expressions on the faces of many villagers, and the village chief sighed, "Cultivation must first have a bodhisattva heart, between the transcendent soul and the lifesaver, he actually chooses to transcend the soul, alas! ”
Obviously, they already have an opinion on the fourth uncle.
I tried to persuade them, but I didn't know how to persuade them, so I had to let them go.
After the villagers left, Maotou also came to find the fourth uncle, this goods looked bitter, and when he came up, he kowtowed to the grandmother's spiritual shed, saying that he begged the fourth uncle to save him.
I asked him why he was in such a hurry to find my fourth uncle, did he go into the pigsty and grab food from the pigs again?
He had an embarrassed look on his face and refused to tell me anything.
Seeing that he refused to speak, I wanted to know more and more what was going on, and threatened him that if he didn't tell me the truth, I wouldn't let the fourth uncle help him.
After coughing awkwardly for a long time, he finally lowered his head and whispered, "After I woke up this morning, I found me lying in Widow Zhao's pigsty, and in her pigsty was a black sow. If you are pregnant, will you give birth to a human or a pig? ”
If it weren't for the extreme sadness I was in, I would have burst out laughing, but when I turned my head to look at Maotou again, he looked sincerely frightened, and that expression was scared and helpless, I suddenly took pity on him and told him that when my fourth uncle had overtaken my grandmother's soul, I would immediately let the fourth uncle help him.
Maotou grabbed my hand and shook it, "Good brother, please, don't tell others, if this thing gets out, damn it, I don't want to live." ”
I just wanted to laugh at Maotou, and after Maotou left, I was suddenly frightened in my heart, what the hell is going on, such a powerful witchcraft, can make people completely unconscious, like a pig, when Maotou grabbed the hand just now, I felt that its nails were long and hard, could it be that in the end, in the body, Maotou would also become a pig?
Is there really such evil witchcraft in the world?
