Chapter XXVI. The ghost of the broken door

Ganmu, whose tail had been cut off, tightened in pain, causing a tightening sensation on my arm, and it opened its mouth and rustled from the snake's neck, which looked strangely pitiful, but it never bit me.

And when he turned his head to look at Qin Bukong, he was holding the vajra that Ganmu had released just now because of the broken tail, even if there was a beard to cover it, I could detect his smile, the short knife in his hand was still dripping blood, and there was a rumbling sound in the doorway, and some black smoke was rolling out at the entrance of the cave.

Qin Bukong grabbed the vajra and ran into the distance, passing by my side and shouting to me, what are you doing in a daze, run quickly, wait for death! With that, he ran away on his own, towards the door of the doors we had broken earlier. Seeing that there was more and more smoke in the doorway, I knew that maybe the ghost who hurt the door would break out in the next second, and although the Vajra was snatched out by Ganmu at this moment, my position was still within the range of the Eight Gate Formation after all.

So I got up, hugged Ganmu, and ran out, and as I ran, I heard the ticking of blood dripping on the ground from Ganmu's broken tail.

Ganmu is a big snake, his body weighs dozens of catties, and the tail that was cut off by Qin Bukong with a knife is about half a foot long. Unlike geckos, snakes will not grow back after their tails are broken. I don't know if it was because of the excessive bleeding or the pain, but after a rustling sound, Ganmu gradually lowered his head, and as I ran, it dangled like a loose rope on the side of my arm.

Soon I rushed to Qin Bukong's side, he was running in the direction I was running from, kneeling on one knee, holding the vajra in his hand. I jumped up behind him at once, and then began to put Gangi on the ground. I thought it was dead, but it was just hanging its head, spitting listlessly on the snake hyacinth, and the blood from its broken tail was still flowing uncontrollably.

Frankly, Ganmu and I don't have any feelings, but seeing the way it looks at the moment makes me feel very uncomfortable. So I immediately unbuttoned my garment, tore off a large piece of my garment from the collar, and tried to wrap up Ganmu's wound, but I also knew that it would feel pain when bandaging, and snakes were animals after all, and they would probably give me a bite because of the pain. But to my surprise, I turned my head to look at Ganmu vigilantly as I tried to cover the wound with my clothes, and when I came into contact with its wound, Ganmu suddenly erected his neck, turned the snake's head to me, and opened his mouth slightly.

I plucked up the courage to go around again, but Ganmu remained unmoved, but it seemed to me that his standing neck was trembling slightly, as if it was deliberately enduring the pain. To make it less painful, I sped up and bandaged the wound in a few moments, but my clothes were soon stained red with blood. When I put the knot on, Ganmu's head softened and lay motionless on the ground.

I was a little angry in my heart, Qin Bukong himself had raised a snake for thirty years to be able to be so ruthless, this beast still had nothing to do, so I walked over angrily and planned to question him, but when I walked behind him and was about to speak, there was a rumbling sound in front of me, and it was getting closer and closer, so I also squatted down and guarded with both hands.

The kerosene lamp we had with us wasn't very bright, so in the dim light, I saw a huge guy crawling towards us like an animal. All over the body emitted black smoke. The reason why it is said to crawl over is because it uses all four limbs, but all four limbs are arms, and the whole appearance looks like a wild beast, but the head is in the shape of a human. Unlike the beings he had encountered earlier, this face was fixed, but his eyes and mouth were always closed, and the corners of his mouth were also facing downward, looking unhappy. The whole body is somewhat translucent, and its crawling posture is also very weird, it stands to reason that something of this size crawls, it should be like a bear, bulky and moving, but it feels very light, but the rumbling sound, and the movement in front of it, does not match at all.

Qin Bukong lowered his voice and said, you remember, wait a minute, if this thing pounces on anyone, the person who is pounced on will immediately turn around and flee, and the other person will stab its head with a vajra. I said that the vajra is in your hand, if I pounce on you, what will I stab? Qin Bukong said, don't worry, when I run, I will throw it to you first.

The huge monster in front of him is the true body of the ghost who hurt the door. If its limbs were to be seen as the corners of a table, its body would be about the size of the entire table at which it was eating. The head grew between the two forelimbs, not so much as a long one, but more like a deliberate place, and its appearance was different from any ghost I had come into contact with before, because it was more like the appearance of a legendary ghost than a single ghost.

For example, most of the ghosts I came into contact with in the past were similar to those before I was born, but the ghosts I encountered in these eight arrays were almost all gathered by many ghosts, just like the old man said about the "Rakshasa Woman", "Yaksha", and "Bull Head and Horse Face".

It got closer and closer, but when it was four or five meters away from us, it stopped, and the face with its eyes closed began to turn around, as if it was choosing who was the target of its attack, me and Qin Bukong. And this Qin Bukong actually let out a sneer at this moment, extremely perverted and excited, he actually grabbed the vajra in his hand, landed on the ground sharply, and knocked on the ground a few times, and the face of the ghost who hurt the door was aimed at him at once, and began to crawl towards him.

I instinctively flashed to the side, just waiting for Qin Bukong to throw the vajra in his hand to me. But when the distance between the Wounded Door Ghost and Qin Bukong was only about two or three steps, he suddenly raised his hand towards me and threw the Vajra in front of me. So I immediately stepped forward to pick it up, thinking that in this way I was not the one who was attacked, and that I had a weapon to control the enemy, but who knew that the moment he threw it at me, the ghost of the wounded door turned his head sharply and rushed towards me.

When I just picked up the vajra, I felt as if the whole person was being caught in a whirlpool, and after a few turns in the air, I fell to the ground, the whole person was in the shape of a cross, and both hands were crushed to the ground by the two smoky forelimbs of the ghost who hurt the door, and even if I wanted to stab, I couldn't move. While struggling hard, I shouted for help to Qin Bukong, and at this moment, the face that had been closed suddenly came to me, as if a presbyopia person was reading a newspaper with small handwriting, but its eyes were always closed.

I didn't want to look at this strange face, so I turned my head to look at Qin Bukong, he was holding a bell on each thumb of both hands, with the trembling of the two wrists, the bell collided with his palm, making a jingling sound, and at this time, the body of the ghost who hurt the door originally emitted black smoke actually seemed to be quickly whipped by something, and the pressure on my body was reduced a lot, but I still couldn't break free. Qin Bukong's sound of rattling the bell on the side became faster and louder, and on the neck of the ghost who hurt the door, there was also a feeling that the smoke suddenly dispersed quickly, as if some thick rope was covering the neck, and it was still pulling it up hard.

At this time, Qin Bukong actually began to walk around with his feet in all directions, it was very much like walking in an S shape, every time he landed on his toes, he landed on his toes, and he wanted to draw an S on the ground with the toe of which foot he landed and then dot a little, the second one in his beard spontaneously emitted that strange murmuring sound, but I couldn't understand a word, I don't know if what I was saying at the moment was a spell in the Miao language, or the "ghost words" that came out of the second mouth, and the tone was very similar to the kind of religious song that was sung when I was doing transcendent rituals.

It is not difficult to imagine that at this moment, the two forelimbs and neck of the ghost who injured the door were entangled by the "snake" controlled by Qin Bukong. Maybe it was because its neck was tightly clamped, so the face that had closed its eyes and was expressionless turned out to be at this time, in front of me more than a foot high, slowly opening its eyes and mouth.

I asked myself, although I haven't traveled all these years, but the ghosts I have seen are enough for me to brag about for a few days and nights. I have been thrilling so many times before, and although I have suffered a lot of losses because of this, I have also been lucky to resolve it without danger. But since I got to know Qin Bukong, many things that were originally built into my worldview have begun to collapse desperately. First of all, those strange ghosts that I have never seen or heard of, are completely beyond my understanding, if my level of exorcism and catching ghosts is that of a primary school student doing homework, then most of these ghosts encountered in the Eight Gate Formation these days are the difficulty of junior high school or even high school, and I have never even seen them, let alone how to deal with them. I had been amazed at the appearance of the wounded ghost in the distance, but now it was opening its mouth and eyes in front of me, and I saw a scene that I will never forget.

In its two eyes, there were no eyes, but a row of tiny teeth and a long, pointed tongue. And in its mouth, it does not have a tongue and teeth, but a huge eye!
