Chapter 51. Hundred ghosts travel
Seeing that Matsuko was about to continue to speak, I quickly stopped him and stopped my steps by the way. Matsuko also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and I pointed to the other person's foot, and Matsuko immediately understood what I meant. However, this guy doesn't seem to have seen a ghost very much, and at this time, he is hiding behind me frequently.
I didn't bother to pay attention to his cowardice, but looked at the old man intently. Qin Bukong is the closest to the other party, since he hasn't moved, I don't think it's better for me to act rashly. So I began to move my steps slowly, moving my position beyond the old man's visual line, and sure enough, he did not focus his eyes on me, but continued to curse in that direction, and I didn't listen carefully to what was scolding, but it was not difficult to imagine that it must have been some complaints, and as I moved, Matsuko also dodged with me, and several times reached out and grabbed my waist. I really can't understand why this guy is so timid.
Soon I went around to the side of the old man, closer to him, I had already prepared Lei Jue and Ziwei in the palm of my hand, this old man seemed to be an ordinary ghost recreating the scene before his death, such a ghost I can clean up casually with my eyes closed, so although there will still be some confusion at the moment, but there is no feeling of fear at all. In the past, ghosts were mostly able to hide for people like me, and those who couldn't hide were either much more capable than me, or they wanted to fight with me. It's really rare to think that this kind of initiative can be found, not to mention that people like me and Qin Bukong can make this ghost disappear in a few inches.
After going around to the side, I could see Qin Bukong's expression more clearly. Obviously, he didn't pay any attention to this ghost, and he didn't do it for a long time, just because he wanted to find more clues on this ghost. We all know at this moment that the unreasonable appearance of this ghost in such a place must be caused by us moving the contents of the stone box, otherwise it would never be such a coincidence. I saw Qin Bukong staring at the chattering ghost for a long time, then bent down and picked up a small stone on the ground, muttered a few words in his mouth, and then spit on the stone with a soak of saliva.
This is one of Qin Bukong's crafts, it is said that it is a thing stained with this kind of saliva, no matter what it is, it can be used as a treasure to deal with ghosts, it sounds a little disgusting, at least when he taught me this trick a while ago, I was disgusted, and I have never used it. What Qin Bukong was talking about was actually a spell, and this spell was only sixteen words in total, the general principle was to read out the law in his heart, and then mix the saliva of the caster, and spit it on any solid medium, so that it could be used as a tool that could attack ghosts for a short time, just like the hidden weapons in ancient times, but the kind that was coated with poison, which could poison ghosts.
Qin Bukong threw the stone in his hand towards the old man's ghost, the speed of the throw was not fast, even at such a distance, as long as he was a little more agile, he would still be able to dodge it completely. But the ghost didn't dodge at all, and the stone fell to his chest, and then directly through the body and fell to the ground, and when it penetrated the ghost, there was a feeling of flickering a few times on his body, which was one of the most obvious manifestations of the ghost after appearing in a certain inherent image, after receiving external interference.
The ghost didn't seem to be able to throw a stone from this slow stone, but its reaction was extremely exaggerated, raising its eyebrows high, opening its mouth wide, and its tongue sticking out, and its whole face looked extremely distorted, and it raised its hands and hugged its head, and let out a low roar from its mouth, which was not loud but seemed to come from everyone's eardrums, and it was still a little uncomfortable. I couldn't help but take two steps back, and just as I did, the muffled roar stopped abruptly, and the ghost flickered a few times before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
I subconsciously looked around, because if I was beaten away like this, this ghost was too weak, and after about a second or two, I saw a person standing by the river in the distance, it was the ghost in the blue tunic just now. And he seemed to be facing us, and then slowly moved towards Jiang Xin in a backward way. The water soon overflowed his body, but there was no reflection of his body on the surface of the water, and as he slowly walked farther and farther, the part of his body above the surface of the water became less and less, until it was not above his head, and then he disappeared.
Qin Bukong patted the dust on his hands, and then said to me and Songzi, let's go, there's really nothing fun here. With that, he picked up his basket from the ground and began to walk back. I caught up and asked Qin Bukongdao, what was going on just now, you have been looking at it for so long, have you found anything? Qin Bukong said, this is the same as what you think now, a most ordinary ghost, judging from the way it disappeared in the last scene, it seems to be drowned in the river, and this will continue to repeat the appearance of death, so this guy is a ghost who committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, trapped by the water, and couldn't leave.
I say this I know, I'm asking why it's suddenly here, is it because we moved the contents of that stone box? Qin Bukong nodded and said, There must be something to do with it, but I thought there would be a difficult one to deal with, but I didn't expect it to be such a low-level ghost. Although his words were lightly spoken, I could still sense a hint of uneasiness in his heart, and I think he probably thought it wouldn't be so simple, but I couldn't guess why.
But our doubts, on the way home, slowly gave us answers. From the time we began to turn back to the side of the road, we met some pedestrians on the road, and even in some places where there were basically no people, there were all kinds of people dressed differently, standing on the side of the road scattered, these people were walking separately, or several people were talking together, and when we passed by them, those people began to turn their heads and look at us with very strange eyes, and those who were already together and whispering, when we passed by, He didn't even speak, but turned his head to stare at us unscrupulously.
At first, we didn't pay attention to the first few people, but as we got closer to the road, there were more and more people on the side of the road, and everyone was doing the same thing, which was abnormal. At first, Matsuko asked me if there was something strange about us and why everyone was staring at us, but gradually he stopped asking, because he also sensed that something was wrong.
Yes, all the people who appear here are not people, but all ghosts. Qin Bukong whispered to us, try not to look at these people's eyes, let's go faster! When we got to the side of the road, we moved faster and faster, but I began to be a little scared in my heart, not because of the ghosts watching us, because I believed that I was capable enough to deal with it, but I was afraid that all of a sudden there were so many pedestrians who were supposed to be on the busy street, but none of them were gone at this moment, and none of the people on the street were alive.
I imagined the worst-case scenario in my mind, if these ghosts swarmed up, I am afraid that I would have ten times the current ability, and I would not be able to withstand this crowd tactic. When I thought of this, I shouted in my heart that it was really not so simple, I opened the box just now, and from that moment on, except for Qin Bukong and Songzi, I didn't see a living person along the way. It seems that the old man in the tunic just now is just an introduction, and the real fierce one is still behind.
At this time, Qin Bukong was a little out of breath because he was walking too fast, but even so, he still said to me while adjusting his breathing, you answer me, which level are we breaking through today? I replied, "Tsuki." Qin Bukong asked again, what does the ghost refer to? I thought about it and said that it is infinitely changing and confusing.
Qin Bukong said, that's right, so these ghosts we see now are all part of this "Wei" level, and we have been trapped in this level since we opened the box. What we see now except for the three of us is a ghost, but that doesn't mean that the city is occupied by ghosts, it's just that we can't see people now.
Matsuko was so scared that he kept holding on to the strap of my satchel and asked with a crying voice, what should I do! How can we go back? When I thought about it, I was also a little desperate, because if we want to go back to Qin Bukong's house, we still need to cross a Yangtze River, according to the current situation, even if there is a boat to sit on, the captain who drives the boat, the sailors on the ship, and the passengers in the cabin must all be ghosts rather than people. This is the rolling Yangtze River, don't I have to be the son-in-law of the Dragon King?
So I asked Qin Bukong, what should I do, can we still take a boat? Qin Buuchi thought about it and said, of course we have to sit, but we have to pretend as much as possible that we don't notice the strangeness of these ghosts. If you look closely at the clothes of these people, haven't you noticed it?
When he said this, I pretended to be fine, and watched the ghosts who stopped talking and looked at us as we passed by, and each of them did not look like ghosts if it were not for this strange and uniform movement. And the costumes of these people, some of them are wearing light blue student uniforms from the old society, some are wearing cheongsam, some are wearing the clothes of their masters, and even soldiers, these soldiers are also very strange, not only the old military uniforms of the People's Liberation Army in the old society, but even the military uniforms of the national army.
Qin Bukong said, have you found it? These people are at least the people who have died in this city in all kinds in the past hundred years!
