Chapter 6: The Ghost Cave Mourns

The moon and stars are scarce, and I saw that under the bright moonlight, Fan Tianjiu, Si Bi'an, and Chen Juntao took advantage of the moonlight to walk along the winding mountain path to the back mountain of the villa.

"Phew, huh, buddy, where the hell did my damn go? Why haven't you arrived yet? You're not fooling me. ”

Fan Tianjiu was running with a wheelchair and wheezing, and asked Chen Juntao in the wheelchair impatiently.

"Don't worry, it's almost there...... There is an abandoned temple of Guandi behind this mountain, and my mother has become very afraid of the sun since she came back from becoming a ghost, so she turned that ruined temple into a nest and hid in it during the day to avoid the sun, so now it is the only place she can go......"

Chen Juntao said as he tilted his head sideways, staring intently at Fan Tianjiu, who was wearing a black veil and a black flying fish suit behind him.

Fan Tianjiu was stared at by him, so he grinned, lowered his head and said unhappily:

"Tell you, Lao Tzu is not interested in men!"

"That's not what it means......"

Hearing this, Chen Juntao still looked at Fan Tianjiu directly, and replied in surprise:

"I was just surprised...... It turns out that there is really a black and white impermanence in the world that hooks ghosts and catches ghosts. ”

"yes, yes, you're in a long position now......"

Fan Tianjiu pouted and smiled strangely when he heard this.

"Well, a little, little brother impermanence, I want to ask, do you have a king of Yama in the underworld?"

Chen Juntao then asked Fan Tianjiu curiously.

"Yes, and ten ......"

Fan Tianjiu said coldly.

"What about the day and night?"

Chen Juntao continued.

"Yes, it's a bunch of guys who specialize in beating our little reports......"

Fan Tianjiu replied expressionlessly.

"Is there a copper snake and an iron dog?"

"There is ......"

"Where's the bull head and horse noodles?"

"There are also ......"

"What about the rush, the ......?"

"That's enough! These two are from the river! Not from the underworld!"

Speaking of this, Fan Tianjiu finally couldn't stand it anymore, only to see him pull the wheelchair over and shout at Chen Juntao:

"Dude, do you know that it's hard to push you up the mountain while talking to you!

If you ask this and that again, Lao Tzu will throw you in this wilderness as a patrol mountain!

"Ming, I understand......"

Chen Juntao was frightened by Fan Tianjiu's momentum and nodded slightly, was silent for a moment, and then raised his head and said:

"By the way, do you have black and white impermanence?"

"Ahβ€”β€”! I'm going to push this kid into the ditchβ€”β€”!"

"Brother Jiu, calm down!

Seeing that Fan Tianjiu was about to go crazy, Si Bi'an, who was standing next to him, hurriedly grabbed him, and then looked at Chen Juntao, who had an innocent face, and said with a wry smile:

"Alas~ It's really a cartoonist, and this curiosity is too strong......"

In the midst of the noise, the three of them had already followed the mountain road to the back of the ridge, and beyond a dark mountain beam, a dilapidated Guandi Temple appeared in front of everyone-

I saw that the courtyard wall of this single-door temple was dilapidated, and the collapsed gravel was sprinkled all over the courtyard, and the temple gate in the center of the courtyard was half lost, leaning against the door frame.

By the moonlight, through half of the temple door, I saw that the main hall of the temple was broken into a dark stone cave, and the front of the stone cave was covered with black cobwebs, and the cold wind blew through the cobwebs, making people shudder at a glance.

"That's it, my mother usually hides in that hole during the day......"

Outside the courtyard gate, Chen Juntao pointed to the hole in the temple and said to Fan Tianjiu.

"Wow, this ruined temple is full of ghosts, and at first glance it is a dangerous and abnormal place......"

Si Bi'an took out the Qi Observation Star Luo and measured it against the broken temple, turned his head to Fan Tianjiu with a solemn expression and asked:

"Brother Jiu, what are you going to do?"

"Well, this old ghost is not difficult to deal with, but the problem is that she still has an 'artifact' in her hand, which is a bit difficult to deal with......"

Fan Tianjiu looked at the dark ruined temple and said with a frown.

"Yes, Brother Jiu, we still don't know the true power of this 'Floating Horse Liang Pen', in case this artifact is as powerful as the 'Nine-Leaf Banana Fan'......"

Hearing Si Bi'an say this, Fan Tianjiu's mind suddenly came up with the terrifying scene of the nine-leaf banana fan that swept the wind and turned the world upside down when he was fighting the maggot body ghost a few days ago, thinking of this, the two couldn't help but tremble with fright.

"Hey, buddy, I ask you, where did your mom get that artifact?"

Fan Tianjiu turned his head and asked Chen Juntao in a wheelchair.

"Oh, that's right, since my mother came back from becoming a ghost, she has always wanted to return to Yang and become a human again, but she has never been able to do so......

Until one day, a fat Taoist priest came to the door and said that he had a way to bring my mother back from the dead, but on the condition that my mother must collect the souls of the girls who had wandered in the yang world for him, and in order to make it easier for my mother, he gave my mother that strange brush......"

Chen Juntao replied when he heard this.

"Fat Taoist...... Artifact ......"

Si Bi'an pondered for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said to Fan Tianjiu:

"Brother Jiu, could the fat Taoist he said be the big-bellied fairy?"

"Well, according to Ji Da Beauty, he is the only one among the ten murderers who can imitate artifacts, so he should be right...... But what is he collecting the souls of girls?"

Fan Tianjiu turned his head to Chen Juntao and asked.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know that...... Alas, since she became a demon, my mother has become more and more violent, and every night she takes that pen out to harm people, and then engulfs her soul, and as his son, my conscience is really unbearable. ”

Speaking of this, I saw Chen Juntao suddenly raise his head, look at Fan Tianjiu and mourn:

"Brother Impermanence, can you give her a chance later, don't fight my mother's soul is gone. ”

"Hehe, what's the matter? She treats you like this, do you still want to intercede for her?"

Fan Tianjiu smiled at Chen Juntao when he heard this.

"Alas~ Even though she is not in a thousand ways, but after all, it is my mother, my father died early, and she raised me with hard work, I can't be too ruthless. ”

Fan Tianjiu glanced at Chen Juntao lightly, nodded and said:

"Okay, look buddy, you're still a filial child, I can show mercy to my subordinates, but only if she can't kill me first......"

Speaking of this, I saw Fan Tianjiu turn his head, staring at the dark and dilapidated small temple in front of him, frowning and pondering, and suddenly said to Si Bi'an beside him:

"Anzi, do something for me......"

"No problem, Brother Jiu, you say, what should I do?"

Hearing this, Si Bi'an approached Fan Tianjiu and said.

"Anzi, I'll go in first to investigate later, and you're ...... in the yard."

Speaking of this, I saw Fan Tianjiu come to Si Bi'an's shore and whisper to him, and after finishing speaking, I saw Fan Tianjiu pat Si Bi'an's shoulder and asked:

"How's that? Anzi, can you do it?"

Hearing this, Si Bi'an nodded and responded:

"Yes, but it will take some time ......"

"How long will it take you?"

"Probably, about ten minutes......

"Okay, Anzi, then you go and prepare! Chen Juntao, you hide in the grove next to you, I won't call you, don't show your head. ”

After instructing the two of them, they saw Fan Tianjiu shake the mourning stick in his hand and jumped into the dilapidated Guandi Temple......

..................

"Huhβ€”β€”! Huhβ€”β€”!"

As bursts of cold and biting yin wind miasma blew out of the hole in the temple, I saw Fan Tianjiu holding a mourning stick in his hand to remove the black cobwebs left by the heartbound ghosts in the cave, while carefully moving towards the depths of the ghost cave.

This is a black hole about two meters in diameter, covered with cobwebs, and there are many circular grooves on the walls on both sides of the hole, and in the grooves are some black jars pierced with red cloth and covered with dust, like burial goods, densely packed all over the wall, extending into the hole.

"Woo woo woo ~ let me go ~ save me ~ "

Just as Fan Tianjiu moved into the cave, he suddenly heard a faint cry for help in his ears.

Fan Tianjiu was stunned when he heard this, stopped and listened carefully, and found that these cries for help came from the jar in the surrounding walls.

So Fan Tianjiu frowned, reached out and carefully moved a jar from the wall, untied the red cloth and looked inside, and was suddenly stunned-

I saw that what was in this jar turned out to be a thumb-sized girl with black hair tied up!

However, Fan Tianjiu could see from the glowing body of this girl that this thumb girl was not a real person, but a soul.

"Woo woo, big brother, please save me! I want to go home!"

As soon as she saw Fan Tianjiu at the mouth of the altar, the thumb girl in the altar immediately knelt down in the altar with a thud, and pleaded with Fan Tianjiu pear blossoms at the mouth of the altar.

"You, who are you, how did you get locked up here?"

Looking at the girl's soul in the jar, Fan Tianjiu said in surprise.

"Woooooooooo......oo I don't know what's going on? I used to sleep well at home, but when I was dreaming, a female monster with black hair suddenly appeared, and tied me here with a bundle of hair, woowoo...... I've been locked up here for more than half a month, please, big brother, please let me go!

The soul of the girl in the jar became more and more sad the more she cried, and her whole body trembled, obviously frightened.

"Damn, this old ghost woman really uses witchcraft to detain the souls of the living, it's really mad......"

"Buzz ......"

Just as Fan Tianjiu was looking at the soul of the girl in the altar and scolding the soul-bound ghost for being inhumane, the mourning rod hanging on his chest suddenly flashed with blue light, fluttering and pointing to the depths of the ghost cave.

And with the flash of the mourning stick, Fan Tianjiu vaguely heard a trembling sucking sound coming from the cave.

"Little girl, you should be wronged first, stay in this jar for a while, and when I clean up the old ghost woman first, I will come back to save you......"

"Don't! don't lock me up here anymore! Big brother, please let me goβ€”β€”!"

In the girl's weeping and pleading, Fan Tianjiu gritted his teeth, re-covered the mouth of the altar with a red cloth, and carefully put the soul altar back into the groove of the wall, and then Fan Tianjiu carried the mourning stick, and walked to the depths of the cave under the guidance of the blue light of the mourning stick on his chest.

Along the way, the girl cried like a complaint, and the miserable cry for help seeped out from the dense jars on the surrounding walls in pieces, echoing in the empty and dark ghost cave, making Fan Tianjiu, who was already accustomed to seeing powerful ghosts, couldn't help but tingle his scalp.

So in the midst of this mournful ghostly scream, Fan Tianjiu finally came to the end of the cave, and with an increasingly clear sucking sound, he saw a ray of white light appear at the end of the ghost cave.

Fan Tianjiu tiptoed, cautiously approached the entrance of the cave and looked inside, and suddenly gasped-

I saw that in the dark cave, the spider-haired heartbound ghost with black hair was floating on a dilapidated statue of Guan Yu, holding a black altar in his hand, and was sucking out a wisp of white light from the altar.

As the girl's soul was sucked into her body by the Heartbound Ghost, she saw that the wisp of qi on its chest that had just been taken away by Fan Tianjiu gradually brightened up again.

Seeing this situation, Fan Tianjiu knew that something was wrong, and immediately shouted-

"Catch β€”β€”! you crazy old ghost womanβ€”β€”! don't let go of that lonely soul for Lao Tzu!"

As he spoke, he saw Fan Tianjiu leap forward, pick up the mourning stick and hit the spider-haired ghost head-on!

"Whoopβ€”β€”!

said that it was too late, and when he saw that the mourning stick was about to hit the heart-bound ghost, the heart-bound ghost suddenly turned into a strand of black hair and scattered in all directions, and then regrouped into a human form not far from Fan Tianjiu.

Then, I saw the heart-bound ghost looking at Fan Tianjiu and said fiercely:

"Boy, even if you are an impermanent ghost, you can't deceive people too much, if you press step by step, I will let you have no return today, and your soul will be scattered!"

"Bahβ€”β€”! do you think that the Ninth Master is scared?!Tell you the old ghost woman! You detain people's souls and cause chaos to yin and yang, today Ninth Master I will beat you into the Yellow Spring, so that you can taste the taste of eighteen layers of hell torture!"

After speaking, I saw Fan Tianjiu shake the mourning stick in his hand, and he was about to hit the heart-bound ghost again.

"Hmph, I don't know if I'm alive or dead......"

In the face of Fan Tianjiu's pressing step by step, the Heartbound Ghost snorted coldly, unfolded his black hair, and saw the carved brush glowing red rising from his body and floating into the hands of the Heartbound Ghost.

"One point of eye ~ two points of spirit ~ all things have a soul ~ the magic pen gives life! Go to β€”β€”!"

The Heartbound Ghost held the brush and recited a mantra, and then flicked it at Fan Tianjiu, only to see two drops of red ink flying out of the tip of the pen and stabbing directly at Fan Tianjiu.

"I wipe β€”β€”!"

Fan Tianjiu screamed when he saw this, instinctively rolled on the spot, and narrowly dodged. I saw two drops of red ink across Fan Tianjiu's shoulders and landed behind him.

"What the fuck are you doing?!"

Fan Tianjiu jumped up from the ground, holding a mourning stick and yelling at the heart-bound ghost.

"Hehe, you'll know right away......"

Looking at Fan Tianjiu, who was furious in front of him, a strange sneer rose at the corner of the heart hook's mouth.

"You ghost woman still dare to be hard-mouthed, Ninth Master, I will ...... you"

"Crackling ......"

Just as Fan Tianjiu picked up the mourning stick and was about to fight the heart-binding ghost again, he suddenly heard the sound of broken stones peeling off behind him.

Fan Tianjiu looked back when he heard the sound, and was immediately shocked-

With the sound of broken stones, the statue of Emperor Guan, which had originally fallen to the ground, was cracked and shattered, and in the bursts of flying dust, a long-bearded man with a height of seven feet, a red face and red ears, and a green dragon glaive knife in his hand was slowly standing up from the gravel dust.

"Bluff...... How can he be so small that he dares to disturb the eternal sleep of this gentleman......"

With this deep drink, I saw a little fierce red light flashing in the eyes of this beautiful bearded man, which was the two points of red ink thrown out of Ma Liang's pen just now.

Seeing the murderous, mighty and domineering man in front of him,

Fan Tianjiu was suddenly startled, opened his mouth and shouted:

"I'll it! Guan Erye is alive β€”β€”!"
