Chapter 8: The Hungry Ghost
The sound of barking outside the door is familiar to me, it is Uncle He who sold me a black dog last night.
I went to open the door, but I saw Uncle He leading his mother-in-law to kneel on the steps of the bluestone slab, shouting for Master to spare his life.
The alley was already full of people, pointing and pointing from time to time.
I sneered: "My family has had a lot of things recently, last night Daddy Wang called for help, and today it is Uncle He who shouts for mercy." Do you really think of my house as a hospital? β
Although I am still young, there are few babies who grew up in this alley who have never heard people scold the street.
Uncle He is notoriously unkind in the alley of Yushuwan, and he usually sells meat and is short of catties, not to mention, and he has to buy other people's things in order.
Last night I bought his big black dog for a thousand yuan, although we don't care if we have money, but in that year, a thousand yuan could buy two or three pigs.
Seeing that I opened the door, Uncle He hurriedly took out a thousand yuan from his arms and handed it to me, saying that he was wrong last night, and asked my master to spare his son.
I looked at him puzzled and said, "It's true to buy a dog for this thousand yuan, but give it back to me, what's the matter with asking my master to spare his son?" Could it be that his son is the big black dog I bought? β
Uncle He just kept snorting, saying that he was a pig and a dog, and wanted to cheat my money, so he provoked Mr. Hei and asked Mr. Hei to spare his son.
Looking at his face, I knew that what he said was not a lie, this guy usually doesn't pull out a dime, and this time he was willing to return the 1,000 yuan he took from the pit to me, something must have happened.
And the surrounding neighbors also stood aside, looking at me and the master in the hall.
People are like this, many times there is always no way, saying that it is for my family to spare my life, if I don't even look at it, it will really be my family's hand.
When he arrived at He's house, there were already many people around his house.
The elder brother of the He family sat on the ground of the hall, holding most of the pork, biting and swallowing with his mouth open, without even chewing it.
I took the master and stepped forward slowly, looking at the three lamps of the He family's elder brother intently, only the one above my head still had a faint fire, and the two lamps on my shoulder had been completely extinguished.
In addition to his eating appearance, his body was even more terrifyingly tight, his stomach was bigger than the Aunt Wang sent last night, so swollen that his clothes could not cover it at all, but he was still trying to stuff something into his mouth, and if he continued to eat like this, his stomach would be broken sooner or later.
"Smack! Suck! Uncle Unscrupulous stood behind me, smacked his lips heavily, and said, "Uncle He, didn't your family kill pigs, how did you become a pig breeder?" β
The neighbors who watched the play around laughed, and few of them were eye-catching about the He family's style.
Uncle Shi said this because Brother He was caught by a hungry ghost, the so-called hungry ghost is the six paths of Buddhism, which is also recorded in Taoism, but in our industry, there are not so many doors.
To put it bluntly, this is also a spirit body, but a special spirit body.
The Hungry Ghost Dao is outside of humanity, and it is impossible to come to humanity without guidance, so the He family must have provoked someone.
Master looked at the appearance of the elder brother of the He family and nodded to me.
I pursed my mouth and winked at my uncle, the little brother of the He family is like that, it's really not good for me to be a little girl wearing pink clothes and pants and to wash it by myself.
But Uncle Shi touched his chest, smiled like a yellow mouse wolf eating a chicken, and stepped back to help me support Master.
I despised the unscrupulous uncle again, I moved my legs and was about to step forward, but the master pushed the uncle out violently and asked him to help me tie up the He family's elder brother.
I clapped my hands with a chuckle, although the master didn't say much, but he was still towards me, the apprentice.
Uncle Shi helplessly tied the little brother of the He family with a rope of immortal rope, and helped me light the soul-attracting incense.
I just took out the guy's, poured out the rune water and handed it to the uncle on the side.
Uncle Unscrupulous Master had a bitter gourd face, and with a pinch of his hands, he poured the talisman water into the mouth of the little brother of the He family.
Uncle He had been looking at us nervously, and when he saw that he had poured something for his son, he hurriedly came over and asked what else he wanted.
I looked at the master who didn't move, so I had to ask him to prepare a bunch of food and find an empty room, so that it would be good to do something.
He Bo didn't suspect him at this time, and went to prepare things.
Uncle Shi dragged the little brother of the He family with a rope to tie immortals, let him call indistinctly in his mouth, and pulled him to the back room of the He family, and then tied the rope tightly.
He Bo brought me the food I wanted, glanced at his son worriedly, and quickly withdrew.
I put the things in the form according to the master's explanation, and the effects of the soul-attracting incense and talisman water began to play, and the entire soul of the little brother of the He family began to be unstable.
With a psychic talisman in hand, I'm struggling with whether to use it. Master coughed heavily and shook his head at me.
"Smack! Sister Yang, what kind of psychic talisman do you use! Uncle Shi picked up a chicken leg and laughed as he nibbled on it.
Come to think of it, Master said that I was born with a spirit body, and I could not communicate with a spirit body without a psychic talisman at all. Then move it directly, I shook the soul bell, grabbed a handful of glutinous rice, recited the exorcism spell in my mouth, and stepped on Yu Bu under my feet.
As soon as the spell was over, I quickly spilled a handful of glutinous rice onto Brother He's body, and then quickly took out a peach wood nail and stabbed it Brother He's forehead and neck.
Then I heard Brother He screaming, and the two lamps on his shoulders slowly showed signs of burning.
In fact, from beginning to end, I am summoning spirits, no matter what ghosts are on the body, the soul of the deity will be bound, and when the spirit is exorcized, the soul of the deity will be summoned back to the right position, and those unscrupulous tenants will have no way to stay inside.
There is a soul incense in front, and there is a master's talisman water in the back, and I will use glutinous rice to guide the way, and the peach wood will attract the sun, and this way down will be a matter of course.
After the elder brother of the He family screamed, countless huge mouths slowly stretched out from the top of his head, the big ones were like a millstone, and the small ones were only the size of a palm.
The Hungry Ghost Dao is one of the six paths of bitterness, no matter what, you can't be satisfied, nothing tastes in your mouth, and the ghost mother has more children, and finally she is devoured by her son.
Looking at the dense mouth on the head of the He family's elder brother, I felt a chill.
Hurriedly took out the rune bag used by the master to collect spirits, and wanted to put these hungry ghosts in. But I only heard a cheer, and the yin dragon that had been wrapped around my waist since the ghost spirit did not move, and slammed into the head of the He family's elder brother.
I saw it open its mouth wide and suck it, and those hungry ghosts were sucked into the stomach by the Yin Dragon like Coke.
I looked at the Yin Dragon in amazement, didn't I say that it likes to eat its own kind the most? What about these hungry ghosts?
After a while, Yin Dragon's originally somewhat flat body suddenly became rounded, and the thing pulled the snake body, and hissed a snake letter at me, and the two black and faint eyes looked at me in a daze, and they were about to pounce on me.
I hurriedly took two steps back, we were not familiar with the snake when it used to eat snakes, and we couldn't avoid it, and now that it is cooked, I am not afraid of it, thinking about what it just ate, I seeped into a panic.
Seeing me turning, the goods adjusted their heads on the head of Brother He's head and wanted to aim at me and pounce. I was so anxious that I pulled open my backpack and greeted it.
As soon as the cargo heard the sound, the scales on its back flipped and flew towards me, right in the backpack.
I pulled the zipper and said to Master proudly, but as soon as the words fell, there was a foul smell from the bag.
When I looked down, the entire backpack had been completely melted, and the tail of the Yin Dragon flicked around my waist with a flick of the dragon's tail.
"Hah! Ha! Uncle Shi pointed to the backpack in my hand and laughed.
I looked at the master aggrievedly, but when I saw that the master only smiled, I had to admit that I was unlucky, Yin Dragon is not usually used in fights, but it is useful to bully me.
Uncle He had been listening to the sound outside, only the laughter of his uncle came from inside, and he hurriedly knocked on the door and asked if it was okay.
I burned a food talisman mixed with water for Brother He to drink, and I handed him over to his father.
I was reluctant, if it weren't for Uncle He really saying that the master spared his life in front of so many neighbors, we wouldn't have made a move, since his son is fine now, I should have nothing to do.
But Master asked me to pat my hand and say that I would cut off the roots.
Seeing that Master was indiscriminately a good person, I had to reluctantly lead Master around his house, and finally found a cloud of black gas by the thatched house of his house.
I asked Uncle He to dig it up by himself, only to see a papier-mΓ’chΓ© villain below, who was no different from the elder brother of the He family from the face, and was vivid.
I burned this villain in front of Uncle He and asked Uncle He if he had offended anyone recently.
He Bo thought for a long time before patting his thigh and saying that three days ago, a strange old man in a tattered Miao suit asked him for a pig's head, but he didn't let the He family's elder brother drive people away, and asked the master if it would be this person.
I snorted heavily with my nose, this guy is a stingy person who doesn't even let go of dogs, how can he not want money to give a pig's head to someone else.
But Uncle Shi's face darkened violently, and he pulled Uncle He and said that he was really an old man in tattered Miao clothes?
He Bo nodded heavily, and scolded the man for not knowing what to do, and for not being able to ask for something and not giving it to him.
I was about to ask my uncle how he knew about the old man in the rotten Miao suit, when I heard a few car horns sounding outside.
After a while, a few people in straight suits came in, and the first Uncle Chao smiled and said, "Brother Liang, Mr. Ding asked you to go back?" β
I have been calling Uncle Shi, except for the last time Zhou Biao called Mr. Ding, until now I didn't know that Uncle Shi's name was Ding Liang, and it really coincided with what I called him an unscrupulous Uncle in my heart!
Uncle Shi's face darkened, and he snorted coldly at the man, "Does he want to see me die?" He didn't die anymore, how could I die! β
"Brother Liang!" The person who came was a little embarrassed, and arched his hand towards my master and said, "Mr. Hei can help persuade you." β
Master just pulled me and shook my head, telling Uncle He that this matter was over, and that his family could recruit hungry ghosts because he was usually too greedy, and he would pay attention to it himself in the future.
As soon as we left, Uncle Shi raised his legs and followed, ignoring the few people in suits.
The man also seemed to anticipate this situation, and said later: "Mr. Ding asked me to tell you that Madame has been in a coma for two days, so you must go back." β
I was about to ask who my wife was, but I saw my uncle looking at me and my master with a depressed face.
Finally, he snorted heavily, and took the lead and walked out.
"Wait! I'll go with you. The master took the initiative to speak again this time.
