Chapter 8: Recuperating from Half a Moon, Izumo's Covenant!
After half a month of care from the old man, my body was miraculously healed. Removing the bandages from my body, I tried to bounce around without the slightest discomfort, which made me admire the old man even more.
It's a pity that in the past half a month, the old man has ignored me, as if he didn't have any good feelings for me. My body has recovered, and I naturally have no reason to stay here anymore. On this day, the old man and I sat down around a square table to eat.
I just ate with my head bored, and I didn't dare to speak, for fear that the old man would drive me away. Finally, the old man spoke.
"Boy, your body has completely healed, after eating this meal, you can leave here!"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel disappointed, put down the dishes and chopsticks in my hand and stood up. I said gratefully to the old man: "Thank you, old man, for your life-saving grace, if you hadn't rescued me that day, I'm afraid I would have become a rotting corpse now! In the past few days, you have treated my injuries and cooked for me, I really don't know how to repay your great kindness." Please accept my three bows!" I bowed respectfully three times.
The old man looked up at me, then nodded slightly. I sat down and ate the bowl of food, and then went into the house to pack my things. After all the equipment was packed, I walked up to the old man again.
"Grandpa, I want to worship under your door, but ...... I know you don't have a crush on me at all. But I'm not going to give up. I am a soldier of the people's army, and I must go back to my life. After dealing with a qiē, I will definitely come to see you again. I won't give up!" After saying that, I turned around and left without looking back.
The old man looked at my back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then shouted loudly, "I will rush to Izumo Town in half a month." You won't find me!"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. I know that the old man deliberately revealed his whereabouts, and I must arrive in Izumo Town on time in half a month. Walking to the foot of the mountain, it was easy to meet the troops looking for me. You must know that I am carrying real guns and ammunition on my back, and if I have bad intentions, it will be a great danger to society.
Three days later, I returned to the unit in a hitch. It's a pity that I was locked up before I even saw my comrades. At the same time, the military vetting officer also questioned me, asking me where I was during this time and what had happened during the day's operations. Naturally, I can't tell them that I've met a ghost, and they won't believe it.
All I said was that after my class entered the cave, they encountered incense-like demagogic drugs, so we escaped. Since I was the squad leader, the job of covering the retreat of my comrades fell on me.
By the time I escaped from the cave, my comrades didn't know where to go, and I accidentally fell into the cliff myself. Fortunately, I was saved by an old doctor, and when I recovered from my injuries, I went back to the army to report. Unexpectedly, my words coincided with a few comrades-in-arms, and a few vetting officers couldn't find any loopholes, so they let me go.
After reuniting with everyone, the captain naturally knew what had happened that day. Considering that I was just recovering from my injuries, I was given three months of family leave.
The three-month vacation made me happy, but unfortunately I couldn't go home to see my godfather, because I knew that if I missed the opportunity to go to Izumo this time, I might never meet the mysterious old man again.
Stepping onto my backpack, I changed into civilian clothes and left the camp. I've found out online that Izumo is located in a poor mountainous area in Jilin Province. So after reversing the train several times and changing from a taxi to a horse-drawn carriage, I finally arrived in Izumo Town half a month later.
The town of Izumo is an ancient town that has existed since the Tang Dynasty. There are no tall buildings in the town, at most there are a few small two-story buildings. The backward economy did not make the people here feel sad, on the contrary, I saw the smiles on the faces of passers-by.
Tonight, I stayed at the only hotel in town. The hotel has only four or five rooms, and there aren't many guests on weekdays. I chose one of the clean rooms and fell asleep on the bed. When I woke up, it was exactly one o'clock in the morning. After soaking a bucket of noodles, I drank the soup cleanly.
Putting on my coat, I decided to go out for a walk. Walking out of the hotel, there was no one on the brick-paved street, so I tightened my coat and scattered. The reason why I chose to come out at night was only because the old man was a heavenly master.
The people of the Heavenly Master come out at night, otherwise what kind of ghosts will they remove?
Walking down the street, I could clearly see my own shadow and the moon behind me, which was a little nerve-wracking. As I walked, I suddenly felt cold and shivered. If there are ghosts, I can't see them at all, unless they want to come out on their own. I reached into my pocket, gripping the ghost-headed dagger tightly.
In the other hand, he had already grabbed a fire talisman in case he needed it. As I walked, suddenly I heard a sob. Hearing this, I hurried to find the source of the sound. Finally I saw a little girl, who was wearing a school uniform, apparently a schoolboy.
She crouched under a willow tree and wept, probably unable to find her way home. I thought to myself, I was close to her.
"Little sister, why don't you come home so late, can my brother send you home?" I said, bending down and patting the girl's head gently.
At this moment, the little girl stopped crying, and she slowly raised her head. When I looked up, I only felt my scalp tingle, and my outstretched hand quickly retracted it, taking a few steps back. "Ah...... You...... Are you a ghost?"
That's right, this little girl is definitely a ghost. The facial features on her face were already distorted together, and there was not a single tooth in the place of her mouth, only a black hole.
"Brother...... Am I cute?" When I heard this, I immediately felt a sour stomach and almost vomited.
"Damn, this is also called cute?
Although I was a little scared in my heart, I had nothing to worry about when I thought that it was just a little ghost.
I can't deal with old ghosts, but I still have a little confidence in this kind of little ghost. I unceremoniously took out the ghost-headed dagger, and then said coldly: "You no longer belong to this world, why do you want to stay so hard? Hurry to the underworld and reincarnate!"
The little female ghost stared at me with two popping eyes, and then repeated what she had just said, "Brother...... Am I cute?"
"Heaven, earth, which fairy sister will give me a thunderbolt to kill me, this is too torturous!"
I was a little angry in my heart, and then continued to say coldly: "If you go back to the underworld, there will naturally be people there who say you are cute. Hurry up and enter the underworld, or ...... I can only do it to you!"
The little ghost's eyes blinked, and then it slowly stood up. This one stood up, oh my God, it was even taller than me. Where the hell is this little female ghost.,It's obviously a big ghost pretend.。 The demon's clothes had turned into strips of rags, his face had stretched, and fangs had grown out of his toothless mouth.
"It seems that it deliberately brought me here, but I didn't expect the ghost to have such wisdom. "After thinking about it, I took out the fire talisman and clipped it to my fingertips, and raised the ghost-headed dagger with my other hand to wait for it.
"Evil obstacles, you are unlucky today, and I am here to deal with you. ”
I don't believe it myself, but if I don't say it, how can I look like I'm a bull? The demon stared at me, his eyes shining with greed. It seems that there will be a vicious fight today, but I didn't expect to meet a tricky guy as soon as I came here, and my luck seems to be really bad.
The demon finally got impatient, and with a roar of rage, it lunged at me. "Burn the things in all directions, destroy the gods in all directions, and be as urgent as a law, edict!"
The fire rune turned into a fireball and slammed it towards the demon. Immediately after that, I took out the thunderbolt talisman again, this guy today is obviously very strong, if I don't use all my housekeeping skills, I'm afraid I won't have a chance at all.
The fire talisman flew away and hit the demon instantly, but it only made the latter take a few steps back, and it didn't do much. I put the thunderbolt charm on my fingertips and activated it without saying anything. "Lei Zu Holy Emperor, in the distance, there is a burst of thunder, and all the calamities are gone. Haste as a law, edict!"
As I finished reciting the mantra, the lightning talisman in my hand turned into a small dark cloud, covering the demon, and at the same time, a flash of lightning flashed, and I heard a click, and a thunderbolt struck down from the dark cloud, and smashed right above the demon's head.
As soon as the thunder passed, the dark clouds dissipated. The power of this lightning charm was so powerful that the demon fell to the ground immediately after being struck by the lightning.
When I saw it, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and with a ghost-headed dagger in my hand, I rushed forward with one arrow step.
With a single sword, the demon's head was easily cut off by me. This pleasure, the indescribable comfort in my heart, the indescribable beauty. Looking at the demons on the ground, I laughed twice. But at that moment, my smile instantly stiffened. Because...... Because the demon whose head had been cut off actually got up, and at the same time, its severed head was magically reborn.
"I'll wipe it, it's still hairy! The rhythm of infinite rebirth!"
I knew I couldn't win, so I didn't have time to think about it, so I ran away. As soon as I ran, the demons behind me began to chase after me.
I didn't know that the person who didn't have long eyes threw the watermelon peel on the ground, and I, the person who didn't have long eyes, happened to step on it, and with a gorgeous turnover, I heard a pop, and I fell heavily on the ground.
The fall almost knocked out the instant noodles I had eaten that night, and I hurriedly swallowed the sour water while biting the tip of my tongue. The demon stretched out his limbs and came up directly. I squirted out a mouthful of true yang saliva directly, and I heard a scream of "whoosh", and the evil ghost finally felt pain. I got up and continued to run for my life, but no matter how fast I was, could I beat the evil spirits?
At the moment when the ghost claw grabbed my shoulder, the golden light that saved my life finally appeared.
A "whoosh" sound broke through the air, and the evil ghost turned into ashes before he could let out a scream before he died.
I am finally saved, and the person who saved me is none other than my idol, the Great Heavenly Master!
"Stinky boy, you can really provoke evil ghosts, even the yin and yang eyes have been sealed, and you still like them like it!"
I listened to the sarcastic words, but my heart was full of joy......
