Chapter 7: The Ghost Feast

When Zhao Haipeng said that he was going to make me a ghost banquet, I looked at the things he purchased with curiosity.

Suddenly, I found a bundle of leeks, some beef, a bottle of vinegar, a bundle of chopsticks, some willow leaves, and a bottle of wine.

"Ghost Feast...... Are you making of these things?" I asked, looking up, puzzled.

Zhao Haipeng nodded, and then told me the doorway in the so-called ghost banquet.

He said that this kind of feast was used as a medium to communicate the affairs of the gods and demons.

To make this kind of feast, you need to receive grass, a yin food and a yang food, the so-called grass is the willow leaves, because the willow tree is a thing that loves to be born in the yin soil and likes to be in the sun, so it is said that this thing is able to communicate the yin and yang of the "leading grass".

In addition to these, the leeks that Lao Zhao bought back are the first of the five xins, which is a yang food, and the beef is the spirit of the earth, which is a yin food.

According to the legend in the temple of the five internal organs, after this kind of banquet is made, it can communicate yin and yang, so that obscure things can enter the yang world to enjoy food, so as to control or induce it.

Speaking of this, Zhao Haipeng patted those things and said: "Now that the sword spirit is running around in your body, we can't control it at all, so I want to use this method to get her drunk, and then seal her in your left hand." ”

"Sealed in my left hand?" I added, "That's still dangerous! Is there a way to get her out completely?"

"This ......" Lao Zhao shook his head and said: "She has been in that knife for hundreds of years, and she finally got into the flesh, and now she wants her to give up your body, so she rushes back into the cold knife...... I'm afraid not!"

"Oh!" I nodded in frustration.

Seeing my lost appearance, Zhao Haipeng didn't forget to cheer me up and said: "Don't be discouraged, let's come step by step, in stages, and draw levels, let her come to your hands first." ”

Listening to Zhao Haipeng's inducement, I nodded helplessly and said, "Listen to Brother Zhao's orders." ”

After I finished saying these words, Zhao Haipeng smiled, and then put away those things and prepared to leave my special ward for a ghost banquet.

Before leaving, Zhao Haipeng told me: "At about twelve o'clock tonight, let's have a ghost banquet, and you should try not to be lustful during this time, and have a good rest." ”

After speaking, Zhao Haipeng walked out of my room, leaving me alone, lying on the bed in boredom, anxiously waiting.

In that boredom, time passed quickly and slowly, during which I was subjected to another surprise interrogation, and it was only in my anxiety that I was caught at the appointed time in the evening.

At about eleven o'clock, Zhao Haipeng walked into my room as promised, and when he saw me, he didn't say anything, but immediately beckoned the helpers of Rui Mujun's family and asked them to help prepare things for the ghost banquet.

Then I saw five or six people walking up and down my small room, bringing in all sorts of jaw-dropping things over and over again.

Among the things they brought in, there were more than a dozen bowls, a large round table, more than 20 red lacquered chopsticks, the bottle of wine that Lao Zhao bought, and a huge mirror that could reflect half of me.

These things are really strange to me, because they don't look like a feast that I can eat alone or a ghost.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the dozen or so white porcelain bowls and more than a dozen pairs of red chopsticks are very incomprehensible ornaments.

Staring at these things, I raised my head and looked at Zhao Haipeng, who was busy ordering everything, and said, "I said brother, you got these things...... It's a bit like the meaning of eating a full banquet of the Han Dynasty? How many people and how many ghosts eat at this ghost banquet?"

Listening to my question, Zhao Haipeng smiled mysteriously and said, "You are the only one, and a ghost eats." ”

"Myself?" I hesitated slightly, then looked at the dozen or so dishes and chopsticks and said, "I'll just use a set of cutlery myself, right? Why do you use so much?"

Listening to my question, Zhao Haipeng pretended to smile mysteriously, and then he said that all this is related to the "main dish" to be eaten today, and when I turn around and have a ghost banquet, I will understand everything after eating.

Lao Zhao didn't want to explain it thoroughly, so I didn't ask more, and then I sat on the side, quietly watching the people set up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and straightened the large mirror that could reflect my half-body image.

At this time, a very strange formation appeared in front of me.

At that time, the round table that Zhao Haipeng and the others brought in was divided into two parts by the huge mirror.

The part facing me was occupied by a dozen or so chopsticks in a semi-arc, and the side behind me was empty and looked useless.

In addition to these, Zhao Haipeng held a bottle of wine and a bottle of vinegar in his arms, constantly blended them, and finally introduced the blended liquid into peanut oil or sesame oil and other things to seal them.

When everything was ready, Zhao Haipeng sealed the rest of the seasoning, and then prepared to leave my room.

Before Zhao Haipeng and the people who helped left, he told me not to move, and waited for him to take the main dish of the ghost banquet.

Listening to Zhao Haipeng's words, I nodded, and then sat in the ward very bored, looking at those miscellaneous things.

My room was so big that I couldn't help but look left and right, and I couldn't help but keep my eyes on the huge table and the mirror on it.

At this time, my image was reflected in the mirror, probably because the mirror was abnormally large, and its reflection of my face was somewhat distorted, especially my face, which was always unnaturally raised upward, with a strange smile.

Sitting alone in a room and looking at that smile always makes me feel weird and unnatural, as if the person in this mirror is not me.

Maybe that's why after staring at the mirror for a while, I felt that the image in the mirror was slightly distorted, and my face gradually became a mouth full of fangs, horns on my head, black skin, and blood on my hands and feet...... Monster!

Staring at the monster in the mirror, I was surprised at first, and then suddenly I realized!

Although this is the first time I've seen this thing, it seems that I know what it is, and its name seems to be ...... Gourmand!

My impression...... Why did it become gluttonous?

In the midst of the consternation, I suddenly felt a huge hunger feeling again, although this time it was not as intense as when I treated Chen Bamiao, but it still made my heart itch, and I wanted to eat.

At this moment, I remembered Zhao Haipeng's words at the right time, and then hurriedly collected my heart and closed my eyes so that I could calm down......
