Chapter 12: The Knife Becomes a Human Head
If you want to talk about foot strength, I haven't lost anyone, and I quickly got rid of the boss when I got out of the vegetable market.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I looked at the butcher's knife in front of me that was still stained with blood.
"Take your amateur to challenge my major, and it's a little tender."
When I got back to the store, I tied the butcher knife with a red rope and hung it high in front of the store.
Another Luban ruler was dropped by me in the lobby.
It's getting dark, the seven-day limit has arrived, and the female ghost will definitely come back tonight
I'm very anxious in my heart, I've run so many times to deliver things, and I've sent them to people and ghosts, and this is the first time I've "boycotted it".
I thought the female ghost would come, but I didn't hear any movement outside the door until the clock.
My tense nerves also relaxed, my forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and the long-term mental tension made me collapse a little.
As soon as the time passed, it should be avoided tonight.
I don't know if the butcher's knife and Lu Ban ruler worked, or the female ghost didn't come, seeing that the east was white, I still didn't see the female ghost.
I breathed a sigh of relief and went back upstairs to sleep.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Who's this early in the morning?"
I walked to the door and no one outside responded to me.
I thought it was because I had stayed up all night and had auditory hallucinations, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
Bang.
There was another knock at the door, and if I had heard it wrong, I could have heard it so well that I couldn't be wrong.
"Who, early in the morning?"
It's bright outside, and it's broad daylight, and I'm still afraid of ghosts?
I slammed the door open. There was a human head in the air, staring at me, its neck covered in torn tissue and dripping with blood.
I was so startled by what I saw that I almost sat on the ground with my legs limp.
At this moment, a southeast wind blew, and the head was blown against the door frame, making a "bang" sound.
I now realized that the knock I had just heard was the sound of the human head hitting the door frame.
The butcher knife that was originally hanging here was replaced by a human head.
This man scared me for days, afraid of being discovered, I buried this head in the backyard, I couldn't sleep, and when I closed my eyes, the red-clothed man asked me for my life in a dream.
My spirit was getting weaker and my day was yawning.
After a few days like this, I finally met Fang Yueyue.
"Ziwu, why do you have dark circles under your eyes?"
"Don't mention it, what the hell." I shook my head helplessly.
"I've found a way to crack the Gu technique." Fang Yue said suddenly.
"Really?" I'm a little excited.
"yes, just one thing for you."
"In detail."
"The key to Gu Technique lies in Gu worms, as long as you find Gu worms and kill them, Gu Techniques will be self-defeating."
I was stunned: "Gu worm? What kind of worm is that? Where do I find it? ”
Faced with my three questions, Fang Yueyue explained: "Gu worms are poisonous insects raised by the caster, and they are of different sizes, and they are likely to be in your body. ”
I subconsciously touched myself and couldn't help asking, "How is it possible?" How can I have bugs in my body? ”
"You haven't seen anything unusual about your body lately?"
"I just can't sleep well, I always dream, and a few days ago there was a human head hanging in front of the store, which almost scared me to death."
"Head?" Fang Yue frowned.
If there is a head, it means that there is a dead person.
"Yes, the human head, it may have been brought by that red-clothed ghost, and I was buried in the backyard."
"Take me to see it!"
As soon as he heard that someone had died, Fang Yue also became nervous and followed him to the backyard.
I dug up the same place where I was last buried, and it didn't take long for me to find where I was buried.
However, there was no human head in the pit, and it was still the butcher's knife.
I subconsciously rubbed my eyes, I couldn't believe what was happening in front of me.
Fang Yue looked at me strangely, not understanding what I meant.
"It's really a human head, really." I didn't know how to explain it, so I started babbling nonsense.
"You should have been controlled by Gu worms and hallucinated."
"How is that possible, it's." I shook my head, not believing what Fang Yue said that Gu worms could control people's minds.
"And where do you think the head you said has gone?"
"This." I can't answer either, but the dead face is still fresh in my memory.
Something suddenly occurred to me: "It must be that red-clothed ghost, she must have done it." ”
"Let's burn the red silk first, you can't send it." Fang Chu suggested.
I was a little hesitant, burning the items sent by the customer to the Huangquan postman is a big taboo in this industry.
"Is there any other way?"
"Don't hesitate, the red-clothed ghost is entangled in this red silk, as soon as the red silk burns her, she will be wiped out, if you send it out, she will be entangled in people."
Fang Yue is a ghost hunter, and catching ghosts is naturally his instinct.
But I'm different, I inherited the paper shop, and as a Huangquan ghost, I have to consider my own reputation.
If you don't give it to me, you will burn it.
"No, you can't burn it, the red silk was sent to me, it's a kind of trust."
"Why are you so axial, it's someone else who wants to harm you."
I shook my head, my grandfather taught me since I was a child that all walks of life should follow their own principles, and people cannot stand without trust.
"I have my own principles, I can't violate the treaty of the ghost contract, but I can't burn the red silk either."
"Well, I'm thinking of something else."
"Let's talk about how to solve Gu first."
Fang Yue said with some emotion: "I found that you are a little similar to Lao He, you are worthy of being a grandfather and grandson, there are two ways to solve the Gu, find the Gu worm or find the Gu person, solve one of them, the Gu technique is cracked." ”
"Finding Gu worms seems to be the best thing to achieve, how to find them?"
"Find a special snake and put it on you, it can help us find the Gu worm, and then apply a needle to repel the Gu."
"Shhhh Put it on me? ”
Just thinking about that slippery creature on top of me makes me go for a breakdance.
"That's right, that's how I got it from someone else."
I gritted my teeth and said, "Okay, then give it a try." ”
Fang Yue has been running for me in the past few days, just to find a way to break the Gu, and I can't refute his kindness, so I can only agree to it.
"Okay, I'll go buy a snake in the afternoon, and you can prepare it in the store."
……
In the evening, Fang Yue walked in with a bamboo basket.
From time to time, the sound of a snake spitting out letters could be heard in the basket.
Listening to this voice, I resisted a little.
"I bought several snakes from the market." As he spoke, Fang Yue opened the basket, and several snakes with different patterns writhed inside.
"Poisonous snakes?" I asked worriedly.
"It's all poisonous snakes, but don't worry, only one at a time."
My face was covered in black lines, and even if it was one, a bite would have killed me.
"Don't be afraid, according to my old man's method, if you apply special herbs to your body, the snake will not bite you."
"Whew, come on!" I gritted my teeth and said.
Fang Yue couldn't cry or laugh: "You don't have to act like you're dying generously, you'll be fine soon." ”
