Chapter 188: The Ghost Bride
Liu Pingzhong shouted in surprise, "What? Have you guessed where that guy hid his body? ”
"Yes! Follow me! ”
Liu Pingzhong followed Li Huaiyun to the land temple at the end of the street, which was only about half a person high, and inside stood a statue of the earth made of clay, as well as incense and candles, and some fruit offerings.
In the gloomy environment, this statue of the land is a little eerie.
In addition to incense and candles, there is also a Ding furnace in front of the temple. It was covered with incense for offerings.
Because today is relatively special, it is the birthday of the Emperor of Heaven in Taoism, and the people who believe in the gods have burned incense at the door of their homes to worship the Emperor.
Therefore, apart from this temple, there are many temples where worshippers burn incense and worship.
Li Huaiyun pointed to the temple and said, "Have you smelled this special smell?" ”
Liu Pingzhong sniffed his nose, then shook his head, "It's a very ordinary fragrance!" What's so special about it? ”
"Didn't smell it? Then you're sniffing this! Li Huaiyun walked up and moved the incense-filled Ding furnace away for some distance, "Smell inside." ”
Yes! Liu Pingzhong glanced at the gloomy clay statue in the temple, and leaned down a little reluctantly, when he put his head close to the temple, he did smell a different fragrance, which seemed to have been smelled before.
"Isn't it very similar to the fragrance between Cai Dashi's study and bedroom? It is a little different from other incense. ”
Liu Pingzhong straightened up and frowned, "When you say that, it's true,"
He pointed around, "But if you look around, the area around this temple is so small, how can the bodies of those brides be buried here?" ”
"As long as this incense can be dispersed, I am afraid that all the brides who have been tortured to death are buried in this area."
Liu Pingzhong looked down at his feet, the breeze blew, blowing through the street, and the sparse sound that came out seemed to carry the resentment of the dead bride.
He felt a hint of coldness, "You mean this road is full of bones?" ”
"Yes, as I said, this street is controlled by a wealthy businessman like Cai Dashi, and he is in charge of the construction of the street, so it is naturally quite simple to bury the body here."
"This bastard is really guilty of death!"
Li Huaiyun walked to the back of the temple, "This incense is the smell of those kidnapped brides before they died, and they were also tortured to death under this smell." ”
"So on the streets where they appear, they must also carry this fragrance."
Liu Pingzhong frowned, "They are all innocent and unjustly killed, how can they know this taste?" ”
"This may be a special obsession, the smell of this temple makes these brides buried in the ground even more dead, and a large number of grievances continue to gather, which makes them gradually turn into ghosts and appear on the street to take people's lives."
Li Huaiyun looked at the other side of the river, "Plus the place where the bones are buried here, and this place is close to the river, and there are a large number of willow trees that gather yin, which makes these ghost brides even more unscrupulous." ”
"Then why these ghosts have been able to evade the tracking of the Demon Slayer Division is because the yin qi here is blocked by something!"
"That's true, probably among the bones buried underground, there are jade carvings with that kind of shielding atmosphere."
According to the clues provided by Li Huaiyun, Liu Pingzhong began to carefully recall the case that he had investigated for so long in his heart, and combined with the clues he had found before, he reorganized the entire case.
"Your speculation is very correct, the doubts of the basic case have been perfectly speculated."
He knew that those bones were buried under this street, and every time he stepped on the ground, he felt a chill coming from the soles of his feet, "We must quickly solve all these ghosts, and then find someone to come here to clear these long-accumulated grievances." ”
"That's right! Now it's time to deal with the ghosts in front of you first! They should be coming soon! ”
When Liu Pingzhong heard this, his brain suddenly stirred, he looked around, the dark street looked even more gloomy, and the sound of subtle footsteps sounded in his ears.
He blinked vigorously, wondering why he was suddenly sleepy, but no matter how hard he held his eyelids, he couldn't help but close his eyes.
"Why am I so sleepy?"
Liu Pingzhong slapped himself hard, and the pain made him sober up slightly, "What's going on?" I would love to sleep! ”
"Holding on, inhaling this smell is a big side effect on the body."
"Don't you want to sleep?"
"Yes! So, I've bitten my tongue out! ”
Liu Pingzhong slowly looked up and saw a trace of blood left on the corner of Li Huaiyun's mouth, so he followed suit and bit his tongue.
Li Huaiyun grabbed Liu Pingzhong's shoulder, and then shook his shoulder vigorously, "Those watchmen were probably scared to death in a dream, so they looked quite hideous." ”
"Ahh In a dream! What about us...! Liu Pingzhong clenched his fists, the sharp pain in his mouth temporarily made him unable to sleep, he took out an iron pen and held it in his hand, this situation has indeed not been encountered before, there is a possibility of being invaded by ghosts, if he accidentally touches the road, he may die in a dream.
Ay! I, the helmsman, don't have a low-level demon catcher to be vigilant.
"Since we can't sleep, those ghost brides shouldn't do us any harm!"
"That's right, but they have become powerful ghosts and vow to ask for their lives, so if we are not in a dream, we are also in danger, the only thing to be thankful for is that in reality, we have a chance, and if we are in a dream, I am afraid we will have to wait for death!"
"You're right!" Liu Pingzhong immediately drew a golden bell around him with an iron pen, "This may be a little resistant to those ghost brides." ”
"Luck, get the drug out of the body, otherwise, we are still easy to be put together."
The two of them sank their hearts, drove the true qi in their bodies, and dispersed the drugs in their bodies.
After a while, there was a slight sound in the dark and dim street, and if you listened carefully, it was the footsteps, accompanied by the bursts of cold laughter, that made the two of them suddenly feel a special chill in their hearts.
The smell of the earth, accompanied by bursts of rancid stench, was wafting towards them, and as the footsteps drew nearer, they saw in the dim moonlight that in the distance of the street, the bright red clothes, slowly walking in the night.
Li Huaiyun and Liu Pingzhong stood still, and looked at the ghost bride who was walking.
At this time, a gust of wind blew in the gloomy street, driving the bright red hijab, making the whole scene look particularly weird and terrifying.
Although they had long known about this scene, the gust of wind, when it blew gently, still made their backs cold and their cold hairs stood up.
At this time, a neat row of ghost brides appeared at the entrance of the alley not far away, with a slight smile.
For a while, Li Huaiyun himself began to get nervous, although he is now in the golden bell jar, he can't guarantee safety, besides, these ghost brides have already turned into powerful ghosts, and their grievances are even worse, so it is not up to them to deal with it.
His first thought was to find someone to help, to deal with this kind of ghost, his supreme fist was of little effect.
Liu Pingzhong grabbed Li Huaiyun's arm, "Sure enough, it appeared!" What do we do now? ”
Li Huaiyun said, "The best way is to ask the secretary, but it takes some energy to get out of here." ”
"We're surrounded?"
"Yes, the reason why these ghost brides appeared must be because we went to the land temple on the other side of the river and inhaled that fragrance, which made them surround us and lock us on."
Liu Pingzhong looked around, "Then how do you escape?" Going to call for help? ”
"Fight! You can only fight first, and after you finish fighting, maybe it can give you another chance,"
Those brides showed their slender, sharp black nails, and directly broke the golden bell jar they painted, but fortunately, Li Huaiyun punched with all his strength, driving the surrounding nature and weather, which bought Liu Pingzhong some time.
Liu Pingzhong controlled the iron pen, and then began to paint quickly in the air, the ink seemed to have magic power, staying in the air, as the strokes increased, the drawing became clearer and clearer.
A Buddha statue with angry eyes and a shape similar to the Demon King Kong appeared in front of him, holding a staff in his hand, full of majesty.
A gentle smack of that staff on the ground caused the surrounding ground to vibrate violently.
With such a powerful aspect of the law, it seems that dealing with those brides should not be a big problem! Li Huaiyun felt a little relieved in his heart, he had fought too many tough battles before, and he almost lost his life, this time he could finally lie down, and finally he didn't have to work so hard, he hit soy sauce and shouted 666, which was quite good.
However, the golden bell jar of this painting was easily broken, which still made him stunned, "Is it okay?" ”。
Liu Pingzhong held the iron pen tightly, his expression was not so relaxed, and his spirit was relatively tense, how did Li Huaiyun know that as the helmsman, he could not have any regressive movements, otherwise how to convince the public.
"It's not a big problem, you just have to watch slowly."
Li Huaiyun took two steps back for this, quietly admiring this battle of Buddha and ghosts, and he felt in his heart that the only suspense was how much time this Buddha statue could subdue all these ghost brides.
At this time, he sighed a little, there should be a table, a stool, and a circle of delicious food on it, so that he can enjoy and eat at the same time, isn't it beautiful!
However, before he was happy, Liu Pingzhong's whole person was a little wrong, and the painted Buddha statue became slender and blurred, as if the painting on paper had been blown away by the wind.
"Ahh Liu Pingzhong half-squatted down, the iron pen in his hand was inserted on the ground, as a support point, a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth, and his whole body kept trembling.
Not far away, there were rows of ghost brides standing there, wearing red hijabs on their heads and wearing big red phoenix robes, and they let out a sharp and vicious laugh, which made people tremble involuntarily when they heard it.
Seeing this, Li Huaiyun immediately stepped forward and helped Liu Pingzhong up, "Master Liu, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it said that it's easy to deal with these ghost brides? ”
Liu Pingzhong covered his head, "I don't know what's wrong, I can't concentrate, and there seems to be something wrong with my body." ”
He said in a weak voice, "Although I don't know, I know that it should be, these ghost brides invaded my divine consciousness through their voices, and severely damaged your consciousness in the spiritual world, once the spiritual world collapses, in reality, your body will receive a great backlash!" It can also cause the body to overreact. ”
"Ahh These ghosts have such powerful means, so how can I deal with them? As a martial arts practitioner, what I'm most worried about is encountering this situation! ”
