Chapter Seventy-Three: The Arrogant Zhang
"There are thousands of elders, but the soul is a few."
"Ten days out, flow gold and stones."
"They are all used to it, and the soul will be released."
"Return! Cannot? Hold some. ”
- "Chu Ci: The Conjuring of Spirits"
……
Xiangjiang, Kowloon, Huangshan Village.
The lonely mountain breeze blew.
A man and a woman stood silently in front of a tomb.
The tomb was in ruins, surrounded by land leveled by excavators and road rollers, and the grass and shrubs had been lifted up, leaving only a cracked old tombstone, covered in wind and frost.
On the black tombstone, a line of words is engraved:
The tomb of the beauty of the Bumen Chu people.
"Chu Renmei, I know, what does Bumen mean?"
The tall man asked, turning his head.
"Bu Wantian, a teacher in Huangshan Village, a beast inferior to a pig and a dog, and a beautiful husband of a famous Cantonese opera singer."
The woman put her hands in her pockets and said lightly.
It means that after Chu Renmei married into the Bu family, the tombstone after her death had to be written as "Bu Men XX".
The man understood, and then asked:
"So what do we do now, digging graves?"
The woman shook her head:
"The grave had already been leveled by the construction team, and the bones had been thrown into the pool below."
After speaking, she snorted at the bottom of the mountain.
The man turned his head to look and narrowed his eyes:
"I'm going to get her out of the water?"
The woman laughed and said:
"Why are you so straightforward? If you don't bring a tile steel sword, a golden fingered tiger, and a screaming beetle to the water to fish for corpses, I'm afraid you will be killed by Chu Renmei. If you bring those three things into the water to fish for corpses, I'm afraid that you will scare Chu Renmei away. ”
The man's brow furrowed:
"So what to do?"
The woman turned and walked down the hill, and said:
"Back to the village, I'm ready for the ceremony."
……
At night, inside an old house in Huangshan Village.
Poor, backward, in disrepair.
Eight or nine men and women were tightly bound, with cloth stuffed in their mouths and black cloth over their eyes, and sat in rows in the corners.
This is the protagonist quartet in the movie, plus the reincarnators who came to this universe, have all been subdued by Fu Qinghai, tied up and placed in the back room to prevent them from interfering with Zhang Yuning and Fu Qinghai's carefully prepared spiritualism plan.
This is the mode of action of the two: Fu Qinghai is responsible for solving the player, and Zhang Yuning is responsible for solving the ghosts, with a clear division of labor.
Like the reincarnation of the movie "Nun", the reincarnation world also did not distinguish between camps this time, but released a unified mission, and the task was also very similar to the last "Sealing Demon Warak" - "Purifying the Powerful Ghost Chu Renmei".
The players are all in the same camp, and Fu Qinghai is not good at indiscriminate killers, but make sure they don't come to cause trouble.
Because the task of "purifying the powerful ghost Chu Renmei" is very simple - at least for Chinese players, if they are familiar with the plot of the movie "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village", they will naturally know the cause of Chu Renmei's resentment, as long as they find a way to resolve her resentment and hatred, they can naturally free this resentful spirit.
This is the consistent solution of Chinese supernatural horror movies: there is a wrong, there is a debtor, the revenge is avenged, and the resentment disappears. It reflects the traditional values of the Chinese.
The "pure evil thoughts" of Japanese supernatural horror movies, the "reincarnation of cause and effect" of Thai supernatural horror movies, and the "pious faith" of European and American supernatural horror movies all reflect the values of different countries and nations.
However, Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning had a great plan, and they were not satisfied with just completing the task.
There was only one old man left in the room who was about to die, who was not bound, but sat peacefully in the living room, with sorrow on his face, and said to Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning:
"Two ...... Two strong ghost hunters, my aunt died unjustly, even if she killed someone, it was for revenge, I plead with you, I beg you, I beg you two, I beg you two to ......"
The old man couldn't go on anymore.
Fu Qinghai waved his hand and said:
"I know, old man, don't worry, your aunt will soon be relieved and at peace."
This old man is the orphan adopted by Chu Renmei before his death, Li Qiang, and the only person who was not killed in the Huangshan Village extermination case, and the other sixty-six villagers were all killed by Chu Renmei.
Zhang Yuning is setting up at the table.
A cup of corpse oil from the supporting character's hand, inserted into a cotton thread, and lit a candle.
A bowl of pool water scooped from the pool of sunken corpses, mixed with a drop of blood from Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning.
"Corpse oil, pool water, blood...... The buff is already stacked, and I am not afraid that the Chu people will not be beautiful. ”
Zhang Yuning said in her chest.
According to her, if any of the three conditions are met, it is possible to attract Chu Renmei, and Zhang Yuning directly superimposed the three, which greatly increased the probability of brushing out the female ghost.
Zhang Yuning is very familiar with the rituals and rituals in various supernatural horror movies, which makes Fu Qinghai very impressed, I saw that the two first drank a sip of the corpse pool water mixed with each other's blood, sat at the table, closed their eyes, held hands, and read in a low voice in Zhang Yuning's mouth:
"Someone is down, and I want to help."
"The soul is scattered, and you give it to you."
"Soul...... Return! ”
As her words fell.
"Whew~~~"
A gust of wind blew, and the corpse oil candle was extinguished.
The room was plunged into darkness.
Zhang Yuning slowly opened her eyes and looked behind Fu Qinghai, at the entrance of the old house, a bright moonlight shone obliquely from the outside, and a strange figure wearing a red Cantonese opera costume stood there quietly.
"She's coming."
Zhang Yuning said calmly.
Fu Qinghai turned his head to look, but he didn't see anything, the front of the old house was empty, only a touch of bright moonlight.
He is not yin and yang eyes, and it is impossible for him to see the existence of ghosts unless the ghosts want him to see them.
Zhang Yuning frowned and stared at Chu Renmei, and when she saw the woman with a distorted face, she suddenly grinned, her body disappeared into the wall next to her, and she hurriedly shouted:
"She wants to kill the people in the back room first!"
After speaking, Zhang Yuning made a move casually, Warak, Jia Coconut, and Jin Renshu, the "pen fairy" who had recently joined the ghost group, all appeared together, and walked towards Chu Renmei's left, center, and right bag.
The four ghosts opened their teeth and claws and howled fiercely, fighting in the air above the living room, black gas splashed everywhere, and the spirit body flew over, but Fu Qinghai couldn't see anything, he could only see that the tablet enshrined in the living room was knocked down, and the incandescent light bulb hanging on the top kept swaying.
A bewildered face.
In Zhang Yuning's eyes, Chu Renmei was gradually outnumbered, and suddenly her face was pulled and distorted, she screamed, and turned around and rushed towards Fu Qinghai, who was closest to her.
"Aoyama, behind you, she wants to possess her!"
Zhang Yuning hurriedly shouted.
Fu Qinghai clenched the golden knuckle on his knuckles, turned around and threw a punch at the air behind him.
"Phew!"
It was empty, but it was as if it had hit something, and there was a hint of force feedback from the fingers.
Suddenly a dent in the woman's body appeared on the wall.
In Zhang Yuning's eyes, poor Chu Renmei was torn apart by the three ghosts in turn, and her spiritual power was greatly damaged, and she was ruthlessly fisted by Fu Qinghai, and she was directly smashed and welded to the wall with a punch.
"Get her!"
Zhang Yuning pointed with her hand and commanded.
Three goblins swarmed up.

"He holds the light in his hand, but he does not see the light."
– John Constantine.
……
Los Angeles, Maryland, USA.
"The status of "Old Corpse in the Country" in film history is mainly because it twists the Xiangjiang supernatural movie from the funny style of ghosts and horses and returns to horror itself, but it is still more or less a bit of an imitation of "Midnight Bell"."
On the street, Fu Qinghai said as he walked.
"The Exorcist" I know, ten Oscar nominations, two awards, which is unprecedented in the history of horror films, in terms of artistic value and achievement status, I think "The Exorcist" is better than "The Old Corpse in the Country".
Zhang Yuning smiled:
"Although you don't pay attention to the plot and background, when it comes to the history of the development of the film, you have the right head."
Fu Qinghai nodded:
"I didn't really dare to watch horror movies before."
Previous: Refers to before becoming a Space Marine.
Fu Qinghai's high evaluation of "The Exorcist" naturally has something to do with his own values.
He was a staunch atheist and materialist.
The film "The Exorcist" reveals a pessimistic attitude about God's omniscience and omnipotence, and a suspicion of the Christian faith: the devil is almost omnipotent, whether it is the Bible, holy water or the cross...... Everything that Christians believe in and rely on is useless in the face of the devil, and the priest, who represents God's authority, dies directly at the hands of the devil.
It may be hard for Chinese viewers to imagine.
But you must know that the vast majority of developed countries in Europe and the United States are actually religious countries, and the shock brought to them by "The Exorcist" and the trampling on their religious beliefs can be called a spiritual earthquake...... It even led to a strong boycott of the film by churches in various countries.
Of course, director William Friedkin is not trying to promote materialism, otherwise the ending of the film should be some kind of "scientific hoax", and what he wants to promote is actually nihilism.
Although Wen Ziren is a Chinese director, and has also built a huge conjuring universe with a large number of movies such as the "Conjuring" trilogy, "Nun", and "Anna Bell", Fu Qinghai actually doesn't like the conjuring universe very much, because the conjuring universe represents the kind of typical horror supernatural movies that cater to traditional religious values in Europe and the United States -
You have to believe in God to defeat demons.
The Warrens, the Vatican's supernumerary exorcists, rely on pious faith to turn evil into good fortune repeatedly.
All great literary and artistic works will be openly or implicitly mixed with values, that is, the people of the country like to say "entrainment of private goods", and H.P. Lovecraft has even expressed his racist ideas very directly and explicitly.
On the contrary, those literary and artistic works that do not have "entrainment of private goods" are obscure and scattered in the wind, and many people are actually not averse to the export of ideas, they just call the unity that does not conform to their values "private goods".
……
Fu Qinghai, who is 1.90 meters old, is dressed in simple casual clothes, carrying a golf club bag with a tile steel sword and broken heart on his back, and a golden finger tiger and a small old cigarette box tied to the belt buckle around his waist.
Zhang Yuning, who is 1.72 meters tall, with black slim jeans, a black waistless racer vest and a black short motorcycle leather jacket, is still her favorite style.
The man is handsome, the woman is spicy, walking side by side on the street, looking very compatible.
The two came to the door of a motel.
Fu Qinghai frowned slightly and asked:
"Why don't you stay in a five-star hotel?"
Zhang Yuning turned around, looked up at her man, her delicate body was close to his body, one hand caressed his neck, and the two fingers of the other hand gently stepped on his chest, her eyes were confused and charming, and her voice was slightly hoarse:
"I don't want to stay at Hilton and Sheraton anymore, I just want to huddle in a cramped motel with you, smell your sweat, listen to your heavy breathing, and ...... Well. ”
Zhang Yuning's eyebrows and eyes are like silk.
As he spoke, he suddenly clamped his legs and groaned softly, biting his lower lip and refusing to continue.
Fu Qinghai smiled evilly:
"Okay."
……
Early the next morning, the two arrived at the target location.
According to the previous convention, Fu Qinghai solved the player, and Zhang Yuning solved the ghost.
According to Zhang Yuning, the demon in "The Exorcist" is called "Pazuzu", and he is one of the most evil demon gods in ancient Sumerian folklore.
Legend has it that he had the wings of a vulture, the claws of a lion, the venomous hook of a scorpion, and a huge, ugly head that exuded blasphemy.
If we compare the history of the Assyrians and Sumerians with the appearance of the Old Testament in the Bible, Pazuzu may have existed longer than the famous demon god Lucifer.
The Bible, holy water, and the cross are of no use to Pazuzu.
But that doesn't mean that other demons are useless to Him.
"Valak, it's up to you for this wave."
Zhang Yuning said lightly:
"Look at who is stronger between you and the other demons."
The figure of the ghost nun emerges in the dimly lit alleyway.
A low, rough voice like a roar came:
"Zhang, the 'Pa Zuzu' you are talking about is not a demon in Solomon's Seventy-Two Pillars Demon God System, and I don't know about his existence. But before you can face Pazuzu, I'm afraid you'll have to take care of something else. ”
With that, Valak looked to the right.
Something else? What do you mean?
Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning turned their heads together and looked at the ghost nun's gaze.
At the end of the dim alleyway, three short, black and thin men stood side by side, and the three of them walked forward, and then stood still, and the leader folded his hands, bowed slightly, and spoke:
"Savadika."
Well? Thai?
Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This gentleman, this lady, is assigned to this reincarnation world at the same time, and it is our fate. It is our common task to seal the demon Pazuzu and banish him back to Hell, and we sincerely hope that we can cooperate sincerely. ”
The other party spoke very politely, but there was a smell of unacceptable rafters in his tone.
However, Fu Qinghai shook his head slowly:
"No, Pa Zuzu and me can solve it with her, don't interfere."
Fu Qinghai's voice just fell.
"Boom-"
There was a bang behind him, and a black and gold power armor, wrapped in strong wind and blazing flames, slammed to the ground, smashing a deep pit into the ground of the alley.
In the smoke and dust, the huge turbofan behind the armor slowly stopped rotating, the flames of the vent were extinguished, a pair of scarlet eyepieces gradually lit up, and the huge armor stood up from one knee and looked coldly at the three people in front of him.
Fu Qinghai looked at the three of them calmly and did not speak again.
But the meaning is already very obvious.
In the face of such a domineering and domineering momentum, the Thai player at the head just pulled the corners of his mouth slightly and said:
"The reincarnation of the technology side, hehe, okay...... We won't bother the two of you, we'll see you later. ”
When it comes to the words "there will be a period later", the person at the head is quite heavy, and the expression on his face is meaningful.
After saying that, he turned around and left with his two companions.
What do you mean? Threaten me?
Fu Qinghai frowned.
Fu Qinghai couldn't tell where the other party was coming, but Zhang Yuning recognized it at a glance, she chuckled lightly and said:
"The three supernatural side reincarnators are rare, but the level, that's it, there are only two tricks to play with Thai supernatural horror movies - Kuman Tong and the head-lowering technique."
The three people who were about to leave suddenly stopped.
But he still turned his back to Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning, and did not turn around.
Zhang Yuning looked at their backs, and seemed to be introducing Fu Qinghai in her mouth, but in fact, she deliberately raised her voice:
"Gu Man Tong is" raising little ghosts ", can only use the soul of the child to sacrifice, Taoist Fu Gong School in the 'Three Mountains Fu Clan': Mao Mountain, Dragon Tiger Mountain, Hesoap Mountain, has long been driven by ghosts This set of rotten play, what big ghosts and small ghosts can be driven, compared to some Siamese wild witches who can only play with the soul of babies, they are stronger and don't know where to go."
Then, Zhang Yuning sneered:
"As for the head-lowering technique, it is a spell that collects relevant materials to curse remotely or aphrodisiac others. The nine major evil art systems of Chinese folk: conjuring spirits, supporting people, exorcising evil spirits, nightmare towns, lowering heads, witchcraft, illusions, qigong, and life extension, have long been included. I can't copy it completely, and I can't learn it well......"
Zhang Yuning raised her chin and said loudly:
"Why, don't you know how to be polite in the face of the people of your own suzerain?"
The three words "suzerain" deeply pierced the hearts of the Thai people, and the leaders couldn't help but clench their fists.
However, the woman only relied on a few words to point out her ability, and the three players from Thailand did not dare to hold it up, putting away the inherent arrogance of the reincarnator on the supernatural side facing the reincarnation on the technology side, the person at the head took a deep breath, turned around and folded his hands again at Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning:
"We won't interfere in this reincarnation mission."
"Pull the arch." (Goodbye)
……
My name is Zhang Yuning, arrogant Zhang.
Fu Qinghai silently dubbed Zhang Yuning in his heart.
Zhang Yuning's tone was very arrogant.
But what she said was true.
Even in the area of "feudal superstition, strange forces and chaos", China is still the suzerainty of all the surrounding vassal countries, not to mention Japan and South Korea, the two little brothers of the Confucian civilization circle, the witchcraft of Southeast Asian countries are deeply influenced by China.
The Siamese trio didn't know that Fu Qinghai had a three-piece set of exorcism and demon suppression in his hand, and thought that they could use the dark and hidden means of Gu Man Tong and the head lowering technique to secretly rub and disgust him, but they were immediately easily broken by Zhang Yuning.
The same logic as the "Sealing Demon Warak" time, in the reincarnation mission of "Sealing Demon Pazuzu", it is assumed that all players belong to the same camp, and if Fu Qinghai directly kills the Siamese trio, assimilation points will be deducted.
Zhang Yuning can "know it with affection and move it with reason", so that they can retreat in the face of difficulties, then it is the best.
……
Chrissy, a single mother, is going crazy.
Her daughter Ruigen, an originally cute, sensible and beautiful little Lori, after entering puberty, suddenly changed her temperament, her temper was short, and her mouth became dirty.
Chrissy initially thought that her daughter was suffering from some kind of mental illness, and used various suppressants and tranquilizers, but it became more serious, and her daughter even began to expose her nakedness, urinate in public, stab her own nakedness with a cross, smear the statue of the Virgin with stained blood, and put some kind of organ prosthesis on the statue that she should not have.
God, what a blasphemy!
Chrissy had no choice but to turn to the priest for help.
However, the tragic deaths of the young priest and the senior priest have left Chrissy helpless as a mother, and the demon Satan seems to laugh at her powerlessness, and the daughter begins to spit green filth from her mouth, and then the whole person turns her head 180 degrees, and crawls upside down like a spider on the stairs.
Chrissy was so anxious that she burst into tears.
Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a surprised and unfamiliar voice coming from outside the door:
"Wow, Ah Ning, look! A classic scene in film history, turning his head upside down and crawling, how many people cried back then. ”
What kind of heartless and heartless person is this!
Single mothers are going crazy:
"Who are you and why did you break into my house!"
Fu Qinghai hurriedly raised his hand and said in relief:
"Don't worry, don't worry, ma'am, forgive us for being uninvited, we are here to save your daughter."
Save my daughter?
Chrissy was stunned.
Fu Qinghai didn't explain to her again, but looked at Zhang Yuning.
Zhang Yuning nodded lightly.
Suddenly, in the whole room, ghosts and wolves howled, black smoke obscured the eyes, some objects, stairs, doors, pillars...... It even began to distort, the TV turned on automatically, and the screen began to play bloody and violent murder images on a loop.
What the hell, it's even worse, okay!
Chrissy is going to blow up.
The little girl who was performing a handstand walk was also stunned.
Zhang Yuning's wonderful eyes looked at her quietly.
In the midst of a post-apocalyptic scene where demons are dancing.
The woman stood alone, a smile on her lips.
"Come on, Pazuzu."
Tan opened his mouth slightly and said softly.

------Off topic------
Hey, I said that it would end in two chapters, but I accidentally wrote too much, and let's see if I can have another chapter today, but don't wait.
