Chapter 52: Stargazing

My first instinct was to kick him out of the way.

It's the same soul, and I don't have to worry about not being able to kick him.

However, I soon became dumbfounded.

He threw himself at me again as if he had fallen on me, and the sound of 'my head' still echoed in my ears.

Fortunately, this time he didn't grab my neck again, just like a dog skin plaster, and just walked around me.

After trying it a few times in a row, I was immediately happy.

I originally thought that even if I found the souls of those nine people, it would be a trouble to bring them all together, but now it seems that there is no need for too much trouble.

I looked at the lame dog.

The lame dog understood what I meant, and ran again to the other side, and I followed as soon as I could, and the guy who was looking for the head followed, muttering incessantly.

Where's my head?

Where's my head......

And with the help of the lame dog, I soon found eight of the souls of the nine people, without exception, they were all looking for heads, and when I found them, they all repeated the words as if they had decided that the head was with me.

For a while, there was a strange scene behind me.

Eight headless ghosts chased me to the death.

The sound of 'my head' kept echoing around.

It's a good thing that the other ghosts weren't attracted to us, otherwise I can't believe what would have happened.

It was just that I soon wondered.

Because even with the help of the lame dog, I still couldn't find the soul of the ninth man, and I even turned to the entire City God Temple, and there was still no trace of him.

And if he can't be found, the guillotine sacrifice can't be opened.

In the end, what awaits Chenghuang and me is a dead end.

"Can you be reliable?"

I looked at the lame dog.

The lame dog whimpered, obviously aggrieved, and then it began to spin in place, obviously anxious that it could not find the ninth soul.

I looked at it with some helplessness, and I knew that it must be more anxious than me at this time, after all, its real owner was now dying.

"Forget it, it's up to me."

After I finished speaking, I walked directly to the offering table in the temple, took three sticks of incense, and then sat on the ground.

Because I'm a soul now, there's actually some limitations to what I can use.

Like my blood.

It may still be visible, but it's certainly not that good.

And incense is different.

Burning incense is a means of sacrifice.

Incense itself is something that can communicate yin and yang.

So even if I am a soul now, the incense in this temple will not affect my use.

And when I did this, the eight ghosts also gathered around me, and when the lame dog saw me like this, his eyes lit up at once, and he seemed to understand what I was going to do, and immediately followed the eight ghosts around me.

What I'm going to do is simple.

Stargazing.

In ancient times, the most common thing that the court priests did was stargazing.

That is, watching the sky at night.

Use celestial phenomena to determine the good fortune of a year, a month, or even a day, and to find people who can influence the fortunes of the country.

Therefore, in ancient times, there would often be an edict from the Son of Heaven to look for someone.

Or killed.

Or introduce the palace to add officials to the knighthood.

A large part of this has to do with the wine priest.

Although I am only half-baked about the ability to sacrifice wine, but the method of stargazing has not been used by godfathers before, and on the day of the accident in Fujun Village, I actually saw him stargazing, but I didn't pay too much attention to it at that time.

Now think about it.

At that time, he was probably preparing for all this.

It's just that after I inserted the three sticks of incense, I made another difficulty.

How do you set them on fire?

After all, it's the first time I've been a ghost, and I don't have any experience in this area.

However, this time the lame dog gave me a surprise, or it itself was arranged by the city god to help me, and after seeing that I did not move for a long time, the lame dog suddenly opened its mouth, and directly spit out a dark purple flame, and immediately lit the three incense sticks.

I was dumbfounded.

It's almost a miracle.

But think about it, the existence of gods and ghosts, which is still a legend in the impression of ordinary people, is already a strange thing for me, and it is normal for this lame dog to have this ability.

And if I'm not mistaken, the fire it spits out should be ghost fire.

A real ghost fire.

And not phosphorus fire.

This also made me interested at once, and after rubbing my hands, I also tried to exhale in a similar way, and sure enough, a fire came out of my mouth directly.

But soon I sensed something was wrong.

The lame dog's fire is dark purple.

Mine, however, is golden.

Not only that, but as soon as this fire appeared, the ghosts around me began to flee in all directions as if they had encountered some great horror in an instant, and even the eight who were haunted by my head wanted to flee at the first time.

I hurriedly extinguished the fire, but I didn't understand.

My fire, why is it different?

As I pondered, the lame dog let out another whimper.

I knew what it meant, and when I put my thoughts behind me for a while, and then I started to follow the method of stargazing according to the sacrificial wine method, I became the first stargazing after the sacrificial wine.

Although the night was dark and the wind was high, and I could barely see the sky at a glance, it was not difficult for me.

I raised my head and squinted my eyes slightly, and at the same time placed one hand on the three sticks of incense, allowing the incense to burn.

It wasn't until I counted nine times that I opened my eyes again, and then said aloud: "Sacrifice wine Cui forget, please the heavens and stars." ”

As my voice fell, the sky instantly cleared the clouds and the moon, and countless stars appeared in front of my eyes at the same time.

Then I withdrew my hand from the three incense sticks, and with the incense mist, after a while, those formations were like the moon in the water, unfolding in the incense mist in front of me, like an all-encompassing star map.

I set my eyes on the brightest star among them.

That star is the Big Dipper.

Then I started with the Big Dipper, and gradually began to look for another star that reflected with it, and before long, a dull star wrapped in a faint purple flame took the place of the Big Dipper.

I looked at the star, but I wondered a little.

"You're not here?"

I stood up and walked out of the temple in search of the star's bearing, until a temple appeared in front of me, a temple that was dark red and familiar to me.

If I'm not mistaken, this temple should be one of the five temples built by the five demons.

And at this time, in that temple, I saw the ninth headless figure.

It's just that he is kneeling on the ground at this time.

In front of him was a brazier, and from time to time some ash appeared in the brazier.

Not only that, but with each appearance of the ashes, I was able to hear a cry.

This is clearly ......

Someone is burning paper for him!
