"Kurotsuka is a kind of ghost, also known as a ghoul, whose sex is heartless and liverless, likes mischief, and mostly lives in graveyards. Such spirits take pleasure in removing a portion of the body of the deceased and returning it to their home. But this ghost is not harmless, so nothing other than anything strange has happened here. Lai Laodao explained in a calm tone.

"Ghouls, is there such a thing in this world?" Li Ge muttered to himself, his face full of confusion. When Li Gang on the side heard this, his face was also full of puzzlement.

"Although this kind of ghost thing is not harmless to people's hearts, but if you stay in the world to play a prank, it will inevitably frighten ordinary people, since we met it today, let's find a way to cross it. Lai Laodao looked at the sky outside the house that was about to darken, turned his head to Li Gang and asked, "Where is the cemetery in your village?"

"Graveyard, Master Lai, are you going to the graveyard now?" Li Gang asked in astonishment.

"Yes, I'm going to help you solve this strange matter in Tiangou Village. Lai Laodao nodded and said, "You can tell me, and we will go by ourselves." ”

"The cemetery in our village is on the back mountain, if you master and apprentice really want to go, then I will take you there. Li Gang looked at Lai Lao Dao and said a word, saw that he nodded, and then said, "That's good Master Lai, I'll go to the backyard and talk to my mother-in-law." ”

Li Gang ran to the backyard for a while, ran back to the hall with a few steamed buns in his hand, handed the steamed buns to the master and apprentice, and then led them to the back mountain.

Spring gives birth to all things, and plants and trees welcome the new. After walking on the mountain path for a while, when the night was completely dark, they came to a flat ground full of small graves halfway up the mountainside, and not far from the cemetery, there was a small waterfall that rushed down to the sky.

"Master Lai, this is the cemetery of our village. Li Gang's face was frightened, and his tone trembled slightly.

"Brother Li, don't be afraid, we won't let you have anything to do. Seeing this, Li Ge reached out and patted the shoulder of the sturdy man beside him.

"Ge'er, you two will hide first, and I'll go and set up a formation in the grave. Lai Laodao glanced at the graveyard in front of him, turned his head to look at the apprentice and Li Gang, and then walked into the grave.

"Got it, Master. The apprentice answered, and then said to the man beside him, "Brother Li, let's go to the side first." ”

"Okay~" Li Gang nodded, and stopped after walking with Li Ge to an old pine tree not far from the cemetery, he glanced at Lai Lao Dao standing in the grave, and whispered, "Little brother Li Ge, you are Taoist priests, you should have seen a lot of ghosts." ”

"Well, I've seen quite a few. Li Ge replied in a calm tone.

"Then do you have any way to make me ......" Li Gang paused at this point, and then said, "I haven't seen a ghost when I'm so old, I wonder if you can let me see it last time?"

"Yes, if Brother Li is not afraid, I will help you open your eyes once. Li Ge did not hesitate at all, and responded happily.

"Don't be afraid. Li Gang shook his head, and continued, "Although I have never seen a ghost, I believe that such a thing exists, and since you masters and apprentices are here, I am naturally not afraid." ”

"Alright, you wait here for me. Li Ge said a word, got up and walked to the side of the graveyard, picked up a tattered sacrificial bowl in front of one of the grave bags, and then walked to the waterfall, filled the sacrificial bowl with some water and returned to Li Gang. Then he took out a talisman, pondered, and began to read it silently.

"Please Yin God, open the eyes of the sky, and the ears and eyes will be clear. The disciple holds the order of the Bodhisattva of the Earth, and the heaven and earth are clear and the spirit of yin and yang appears. 敕~"

The spell stopped, the talisman in Li Ge's hand burned, he put the paper talisman into the water bowl, and after the talisman paper burned out, he picked up the water bowl and said, "Brother Li, you can see this bowl of water when you drink it." ”

"Okay~" Li Gang nodded, without the slightest hesitation, and directly took the sacrificial bowl and drank all the runic water inside.

At this time, Lai Laodao, who was in a position in the grave, walked up to the two of them, he glanced at the two of them, and whispered, "Ge'er, did you open his eyes?"

"Hmm~" The apprentice responded, picked up the sacrificial bowl that Li Gang had put on the ground and put it back in its original place.

"Master Lai, have your business been done?" Li Gang glanced at the cemetery and asked suspiciously.

"Alright, let's sit here and wait a while. Lai Laodao leaned against the pine tree and sat on the ground, took out the steamed buns that Li Gang had given him before, and gnawed them.

The lonely moon hung high, and the three of them sat next to the old pine for a long time, and there was a 'meow~' cry from the quiet grave, which was similar to a cat's meow, but there was no drag, very crisp.

Hearing this, Lai Laodao's brows furrowed slightly, and then he stretched out again, and moved his gaze to the grave, and the two people beside him also looked over at the same time.

After a strange sound came from the pile of desolate graves, a red light flashed out of one of the mass grave bags, condensing into a figure with a shrunken figure squatting underground. The figure was small, and at first glance it looked like the figure of a child. Dressed in a gray robe, it turned its head to look around the grave, and its body moved like a monkey towards the formation that Lai Lao Dao had laid before.

As soon as the shrunken figure stepped into the formation, it let out two frightened 'meows'. Lai Laodao, who was behind the old pine tree, heard the sound, and hurriedly got up and laughed, "Let's go, let's go see this black mound." ”

Following the master into the tomb, Li Ge saw Kurotsuka trapped in the formation. Its body is no different from that of an ordinary child about ten years old, but its head is not an ordinary person's facial features.

This Kurotsuka has only one eye, born in the middle of its forehead, and its nose is born on both sides of ordinary people's cheeks, which looks very strange, but the tongue in its mouth is a long tongue like a snake's tail.

"Lai~ Master Lai, this~ is what you said about Kurotsuka?" Li Gang saw this strange ghost, and his body trembled violently.

"Yes, this is Kurotsuka, I saw it once decades ago. Lai Laodao replied calmly, glanced at the two people beside him, saw the apprentice staring at Kurotsuka with a dull expression, and then said, "This kind of ghost thing is not very incarnated after death, but the two spirits left in the body after death are condensed together, and over time, these spirits accumulate more and more, and finally they will condense into this kind of ghoul." ”

Lai Laodao explained, pointed to the woods on the side of the cemetery, and said, "You see, the woods around this cemetery are deep and lush, and the sunlight can't penetrate it, and those spirits will naturally not dissipate when they are nourished by the yin qi of the cemetery. ”

When Li Ge heard Master's explanation, his mind suddenly dawned, and he immediately asked, "Master, what should we do with this black mound now?"

"This black mound is made of countless scattered spirits condensed together, and there is no resentment, so just send it back to the Yin Division and enter the reincarnation. Lai Changsheng smiled slightly, took out a talisman from his side, and silently performed a spell after taking a few steps forward.

"I hold the Great Dao Order, and the underworld official who protects the land will appear quickly, take his responsibility, solve no vain robbery, Fang Shenming, and widely repair and support. 敕~"

Lai Laodao finished the spell and threw the burning talisman in his hand towards the sky. After a moment, there was a laugh in the forest, and then an old man in a purple robe and a cloth hat of the same color walked towards the three of them.
