Chapter 54. Rakshasa Ghost King

The smell is strange and familiar, strange because it is not often smelled, and it is even different from the rotten egg smell of ghosts that I have smelled before. And the familiarity is because the smell is the same smell of water that we smelled when we pried open the stone box before. And after the balloon exploded loudly, the other ghosts who had planned to continue running towards us were stunned.

When I saw this, I immediately understood that these ghosts seemed to be numerous, but in fact, since we first saw them, they have not attacked us, but slowly searched for our weaknesses along the way, and when they finally started attacking us, they did not expect that I would be the killer. Even ghosts are afraid of disappearing, and my palm just now almost made the ghost who looked like a child go directly to the sky, and this scene was seen by other ghosts, and they would feel scared.

When I thought of this, I was inexplicably excited, it was those ghosts who ran towards us, but now I couldn't care so much, but chased after them, and everyone who approached me was a slap in the face and beckoned to the past. After taking the initiative, I started a little more ruthlessly, and the remaining ten meters of the road were quickly grinded into by us.

I wanted to kick open the door of the house, anyway, I hadn't done it before, but this reckless behavior was stopped by Qin Bukong. He and I are both the kind of people who have no hands and feet, so he quickly took out the key and threw it to Songzi, telling Songzi to open the door quickly. In front of me, let alone pine nuts, even I have never seen them grow so big. So although Matsuko was anxious to open the door, his trembling hands couldn't accurately insert the key into the lock. While I was dealing with the ghosts around me with Qin Bukong, I heard that clicking sound in my ears. It was the sound of a key hitting a lock. Finally, there was a click, it was the sound of the bolt popping up, I turned on one side, and slammed the door open with my shoulder, Songzi was the first to get in, and I was the second, Qin Bukong made a funny move after a while, as if he was splashing some dirty water out, and then those ghosts took two steps back, and after finding this gap, Qin Bukong quickly retreated and got into the house, and then closed the door with a bang.

Songzi and I were paralyzed on the ground and panting, Qin Bukong also used his shoulder against the door after closing the door, and then spit in the palm of his hand, using saliva as ink, writing and drawing on the door, and the book wrote a sixteen-character incantation, at this time, the feeling of constantly banging on the door from the outside disappeared, as if those ghosts suddenly lost interest in the people in this room, but they did not leave, but I could see the crowds outside through the water ripple translucent window glass, It was as if the ghosts were filling the alley, standing outside the door and waiting quietly.

I tried to ease my emotions, because what happened today was quite thrilling on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was the weirdest thing I had ever encountered, and even after I was safe, I would feel very scared when I thought about it, and if those ghosts had attacked us from the beginning, we would definitely not choose to go home, but find a safer and more proper way to deal with it, but because they were all standing motionless, this inexplicable feeling, revealing an indescribable weirdness, made people feel furious.

Just when we all thought we were safe, suddenly there was a rustling sound from behind me, the sound we were all too familiar with, it was the sound of Ganmu spitting snake letters, so we quickly looked back, through the curtain hanging on the door of the inner room, I could only look at the house from a height of about one and a half feet under the curtain, originally there was only the side at the end of Qin Bukong's bed, and a shrine in the distance, but at this moment, reflecting the faint red light in the room, I actually saw four pairs of feet standing side by side, with their backs to us, In the direction of the wooden shelves that Kazuki likes to coil.

So I was startled, and immediately got up from the ground, and at this moment, Qin Bukong also sensed that something was wrong, so he immediately walked to the door of the inner room, stretched out his hands and gently grabbed the cloth curtain, and then made a loud noise, and pulled it down with all his might.

Without the curtain of the cloth, everything in the back room suddenly became clear at a glance. Originally, when I saw the four pairs of identical feet, I thought it was four ghosts from outside the house, which was simply out of consideration, but when the curtain was pulled down, I saw these four figures clearly, but I was so frightened that I almost screamed.

It must be emphasized that although I wanted to scream, I didn't really scream, and Matsuko screamed in horror at this time, and the voice was the kind of false voice that it felt like when a woman met a hooligan, and it was hard for me to imagine why a man would make such a scream. However, Songzi's sharp and piercing scream woke me up at once, and I said to Qin Bukong while retreating, you stand far away, there is a ghost inside!

The reason why I said there were ghosts in it was because I didn't have to look closely to tell that the guys inside were ghosts and not people. If the ghosts outside just gave me the feeling that the other party was a ghost by their behavior and behavior, these four identical guys in front of me were extremely intuitive, and they told me the fact that they were ghosts with their appearance.

The four of them look exactly the same, very tall, so much so that if you don't bend your head, you will break through the ceiling, but they don't look like the kind of people who are very tall, but like a normal person elongated, and the whole body is elongated, so when Qin Bukong ripped off the cloth curtain, these four guys turned their heads slowly but in unison, and the four faces that were exactly the same elongated looked like a man, but because of the stretching, the corners of its mouth drooped down very strangely, The same is true for the corners of the eyes, and the lower eyelids even show a reddish-black inner eyelid due to pulling. And the eyes of these four ghosts are a little different. Even if it is a ghost, it can change the color of the eye, but after all, it appears in the image of a person, so the size of the eyekernel generally does not change, but the four in front of him, the eyekernel is surprisingly small, and the general black eyekernel part is about the size of the dragon's eye core, but theirs is only the size of a mung bean.

As a result, they have tiny black dots on their white eyes, and then the eight eyes look at us together, and it's very pervasive. Probably because I was used to the ghosts out there staring at people and not attacking, I naively thought the same was true for these four guys. Qin Bukong stood on the side of the door, across the wall, so the first person these four guys saw after turning their heads was me, and just as they locked their eyes on me, they suddenly opened their four big mouths and roared at me.

The way they grow their mouths is like the mud figure they pinched under a tree when they were children, making a mouth for the little man, but when the mouth is open, they will pull each other because of the stickiness of the soil, causing a tearing sensation similar to flour. Those four mouths were so big that they almost swallowed my head in one gulp. And that roaring sound, like a person who has had his tongue pulled out, accidentally pulled out his trachea when pulling it out, so although the sound was loud, it didn't seem to be the kind that happened from the vocal cords, and with that violent roar, I actually felt that the tables, chairs, doors and windows in the room were trembling, and I smelled a strong smell of rotten eggs in my nose, yes, this is the smell of a ghost, from the smell of smoke, and the shock caused by its roar, I knew immediately that this guy was a fierce thing, I wonder if it's still the ghost at the root of all this.

After hearing the roar, Qin Bukong dodged to the side for a moment, then quickly turned sideways and looked inside the door, and then ran towards us without thinking, standing with me, and even reached out and grabbed my arm. This dead old man's strength is really not small, and it makes my arm hurt faintly, but at that time, I had been watching the four guys intently, and I didn't realize that Qin Bukong's movements were also the result of his fear.

After a few seconds, the roaring stopped, and my ears were still buzzing from the previous shock, and Matsuko trembled beside me and asked in horror, Si... Situ, what the hell is this? I stammered and said, I don't know, I've never seen one. Qin Bukong looked very nervous, even an old god like him, who had been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, even seemed to be unsteady when he spoke at this moment, he said, this seems to be a brake... If that's the case, is this big ghost guarding the gate under the word "魑" actually a brake?

Fortunately, when I was studying art in the early days, because I didn't have the opportunity to fight, I had more time to study those strange books, so I had a certain understanding of "brake". In Buddhism, it is regarded as a kind of ghost king who specializes in devouring other souls, and gains the power of the other party by eating other souls, so that he becomes stronger and stronger, and the moment does not appear easily, and every time it appears, a large number of people often die. Legend has it that the plague and the Black Death were the result of being stopped. In this way, it can explain why when we trigger the "魑" character level, there are so many kinds of ghosts, these ghosts are not necessarily like the people we see, but all kinds of ghosts that have been swallowed up by the brake for thousands of years, and now they have become its pawns, turning into people we know or don't know, confusing the prey on the one hand, and helping the brakes to deal with us on the other.

When Qin Bukong said this, I immediately recalled everything in the book, but before that, I had always regarded it as a legendary thing, and it had never really existed, after all, there were too many obscure and anthropomorphic things in Buddhist books. So I took a closer look at these four guys again, this time my eyes stayed on their stomachs, under the white loose clothes, it turned out to be like a bubbling bulge of a circle, it seemed to be breathing, but every time I "breathed" the belly bulge, there were countless tiny human faces, densely packed together, and then the feeling of revealing the silhouette through the clothes!
