Chapter 280: Ghosts and demons at the bottom of the well
The monster was too busy dealing with Black and White to take care of me for a while, and that gave me the opportunity.
I raised the Warrior King's Whip and crept closer to the monster, looking for a fighter.
Finally, the monster did not take advantage of the fight with Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei, and after biting for a while, it broke free and jumped to the other side of the well wall.
I took the opportunity to rush forward and whipped it with a hard whip.
Syllable!
A streamer flashed, and the monster suddenly let out a terrible wail, and fell to the bottom of the well, and black smoke came out of its body.
I quickly took out the exorcism charm and prepared to deal with the monster, but I didn't expect that the monster knelt down directly and spat out.
"Master, please don't kill me!"
I didn't expect this monster to be able to speak, I couldn't help but be stunned, and then said coldly: "What kind of monster are you, why do you appear at the bottom of the well, quickly and truthfully!" β
"IβI'm a ghost, and I've been in this old well for eighty years!"
The monster fell to its knees and trembled, and said in a trembling voice.
Ghosts? I couldn't help but be a little surprised, no wonder I looked at this monster like a human and not a human, like a ghost but not a ghost, but I didn't expect it to be a ghost!
Ghosts and demons are a special kind of spirits, which are generally formed by the combination of ghosts and demons, which can condense into entities, and their strength is more powerful than ordinary ghosts.
It's just that why are there ghosts and demons in this old well? Under my questioning, the demon told his origin.
It turned out that the demon itself was just a young girl in the village, and she was only eighteen years old when the robbers ransacked the soil valley decades ago, so she committed suicide by jumping into a well to avoid being humiliated by the bandits.
Compared to those unjust souls who only had their heads left, she was the only one who retained her complete body, so the ghosts she turned into were also the most powerful, so she absorbed the rest of the unjust souls into her body.
When she turned into a ghost, she found that there was a gecko deep at the bottom of the well, so she attached herself to the gecko and gradually formed a ghost.
After condensing the entity, she wanted to climb out of the well to find those bandits to take revenge, but she was inadvertently seen by the villagers, who thought that the well was haunted, so they found an old Taoist and asked him to help suppress the ghosts.
Lao Dao went deep into the bottom of the well, and after investigating the truth, he read that the ghost demon was a poor person, and did not destroy it, but grabbed a turtle from the river, carved a rune on the turtle shell, and formed a formation with the runes at the bottom of the well to suppress the ghost and demon at the bottom of the well, and after a hundred years, it can be measured.
"In fact, the turtle itself is very ordinary, and it has no mana, but with the runes and formations on the turtle shell, it has mana and has become the turtle in the mouth of the villagers."
"Originally, it would only take more than ten years for me to re-enter reincarnation, but I didn't expect that a few days ago, the old turtle was taken away, and decades of suffering and waiting have come to naught, I am really unwilling!"
The demon said with a sad and angry face.
In this way, the old turtle did not leave on its own, but was indeed taken by someone.
"Do you know who captured the old tortoise?"
I asked the goblin.
"It's a peasant woman in the village!"
The demon said truthfully: "At that time, the peasant woman sneaked into the bottom of the well and took the old turtle away, and when she took the old turtle away, she kept muttering to herself, and I learned the truth about her stealing the old turtle. β
"The peasant woman's daughter seems to be working as a nanny in a rich man's family, and she has a leg with the rich man, so she wants to kill the rich man's wife, the junior is in the upper position, and the peasant woman stole the turtle just to help her daughter!"
After listening to the ghost's story, I realized that this is not Gao Huihuang and his nanny Xiao Zhao!
And the peasant woman that the ghost demon said is obviously Aunt Zhao, no wonder Lonnie and I feel that she and Xiao Zhao look similar, because they are mother and daughter themselves!
"Why didn't you stop them then?"
After a pause, I asked the goblin again.
"I want to too, but the peasant woman is holding a strange talisman in her hand, and after I appeared, although I scared them enough, I couldn't get close, so I could only watch them capture the old turtle."
Then Aunt Zhao is just an ordinary peasant woman, how can there be a talisman in her hand that even the ghosts and demons are afraid of, could it be that they still have a push behind them?
But I didn't have time to guess about it yet, so I continued, "Is there anything else you'd like to add?" β
"No, no!"
The ghost demon trembled and said, "Master, that's all I know. β
"I have been tormenting in the bottom of the dark well all these years, and I have never harmed anyone, please, let me live!"
Speaking of which, this ghost is also quite pitiful, he was forced to jump into the well before his death, and was trapped at the bottom of the well for decades after his death, and he was about to survive until the day of re-entering reincarnation, but he was destroyed by someone and lost his qualification to enter reincarnation, I can't help but feel a trace of sympathy for it.
"Don't worry, I can transform you and let you re-enter reincarnation."
I said lightly.
"Really, really?"
The demon suddenly raised his head, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
I said lightly: "I, Cheng Yi, never speak, but I have a request, and you will help me identify the peasant woman later." β
"Okay, okay, that's fine!"
The ghost nodded again and again, and said excitedly!
"Do you have any evidence to identify her?"
I asked again.
"Yes!"
The demon hurriedly said, "At that time, the woman was in a hurry and dropped a hairpin!" β
As he spoke, the demon handed over a hairpin.
I took the hairpin, didn't say anything more, opened the Qiankun bag, let the ghost get in first, and then let the little white and little black. Help and reattach the broken rope.
After doing all this, I pulled the rope around my waist and started climbing up.
In a short time, I was getting closer and closer to the wellhead, and I was about to call out to Lonnie, but suddenly, a human face flashed at the wellhead, staring at me with a vicious gaze!
Second Aunt Zhao!
I was shocked, and before I could speak, I saw Aunt Zhao raise a big stone with both hands, aiming at my head and about to smash it down.
Bang!
At this moment, a violent crashing sound suddenly came from above the wellhead, and then the screams of the second aunt Zhao came, and after a while, Langnie's head poked over.
"Xiao Chengzi, are you okay?"
"It's okay, Ni, pull me up!"
"Good!"
After Lonnie finished speaking, I climbed quickly with both hands, and after a while, I climbed out of the well.
Whewβ
Finally, sitting on the dry ground, I couldn't help but let out a long breath, and the dull feeling of suffocation at the bottom of the well was swept away.
Glancing around, I saw that Aunt Zhao was tied up under the plane tree, with a ball of cotton stuffed in her mouth, and she was struggling desperately.
"Ni, what's going on?"
I asked Lonnie.
