Chapter Eighty-Eight: Wild Ghost Village
As the crowd drifted away, the crowing of the rooster and the wailing of the ghost became quieter.
Hong passed through the two levels of Wild Dog Ridge and Jinji Mountain, and the ghost wailed in his heart waiting for the next level. But as you move forward, the sound of gongs and drums gradually comes to your ears.
Hong followed the sound and hurried forward, and what appeared in front of him was a village, and the Zhuangzi was crowded with people and bustling. A jubilant landscape.
Hong didn't expect that there would be such a lively place in the ghost world, which was a fight with the festival in the world.
The village was crowded with people, and thanks to the bull's head opening the way, everyone was able to squeeze a way on.
As soon as Hong squeezed into the crowd, he heard a ghost shouting in the distance, "The dragon dancer is coming, everyone come and see." ”
With the ghost's shout, the ghosts around Hong hula rushed towards the place where the sound had just come from.
Hong also followed the crowd to look over there, only to hear a burst of gongs and drums, and a dragon dance team came in the distance.
At the front of the line, a ghost walked towards the crowd with a dragon ball in his hand and a drum beat, followed by a dozen ghost dancers and a dragon several feet long.
As soon as the ghost holding the dragon ball waved his hand, the dragon head behind him followed, and the entire dragon body flew up and down. The onlookers burst into applause and cheers.
As the dragon dance team walked slowly, there was another blowing sound from behind, and Hong craned his neck to look into the distance, and there was another team of lion dancers.
I saw eight ghosts in front of the procession with gongs and drums hanging on their chests, beating and beating to lead the male lions behind them towards the crowd.
Behind the drumming ghosts are four male lions, one for every two ghosts. The end is majestic and majestic.
These four male lions will be brave and majestic, and will be frolicking and joyful, and the lion's joy, anger, drunkenness, music, fierceness, surprise, suspicion, movement, stillness, awakening and other demeanors are vividly and vividly performed.
As the lion dance procession passed, it was followed by a group of Yangge twisting procession.
In front of the Yangge team, ten ghosts are divided into two teams, each of which is stepping on stilts of about two meters. The ghosts of these two teams on stilts stepped on stilts, and one team stepped on stilts.
The group of ghosts who stepped on the stilts were wearing costumes, holding props and singing, babbling forward.
The group of ghosts who stepped on stilts, holding knives, guns and sticks in their hands, performed on the stilts and slowly marched forward.
The stilts are followed by a team of rowing boats, in which a beautiful female ghost is performing a boat ride. A handsome scholar next to him rowed the boat hard, singing to each other and following the stilt procession.
The procession of dry boats slowly walked by, followed closely by the procession of bamboo lanterns.
These bamboo horses are made of slices to form a skeleton, and the outside is pasted with colored paper and tied to the waist of the ghost. The ghost will hold the bamboo horse and start the performance, for a while it will be like riding a horse, and then it will gallop and jump, the action is relaxed and lively, enthusiastic and unrestrained, and the ghost next to it remembers the bursts of applause.
Followed by the bamboo horse lantern is a procession of twisting Yangge, there are men and women, old and young, and many ghosts are lined up, holding fans and handkerchiefs in their hands and twisting forward with the drum beat in front of them.
A team of ghost performances watched Hong with relish. Hong didn't expect that there would be such a lively place in the ghost world.
Ziwei and Yaohua had never seen this kind of performance in the world before, and they were also very happy to watch it for a while, so Hong and Ziwei and Yaohua began to judge each performer.
Niu Tou saw that Hong, Ziwei, and Yaohua stopped, and hurriedly said to Hong, "Shangxian, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's hurry forward."
Hong Zheng looked at the rise, but he didn't expect such a sentence from Niu Tou, and he turned to Niu Tou in confusion and asked, "Oh, I think it's rare to have such an interesting place in the ghost world, is there anything special here?"
Niu Tou hurriedly replied, "Back to Shangxian, there is a name here called Wild Ghost Village." Don't look at the prosperity here, there is another hidden secret. ”
The bull head said this, and pointed to the ghost in the front row and said, "Immortal, please look, the ghost at the front has forgotten to go forward, and now the whole mind is on this performance." ”
Hong followed the bull's guidance and looked forward, he didn't notice it just now, but now when he looked closely, it was true that most of the ghosts' eyes began to blur, and as the rhythm of the performance began to applaud, some ghosts with poor concentration actually began to twist behind the team.
The bull head pointed to the distance again and said to Hong, "Shangxian, look at the lion dance again."
Hong looked up at the lion dancer, and was startled by the fact that the ghosts writhing with the team were overturned by several lions in their euphoria.
The ghosts of the dancing lions threw the ghosts watching the excitement to the ground and began to bite them. Suddenly there was a cry of pain from beneath the lion.
In a matter of moments, the ghost pressed to the ground was already a blur of flesh and blood, and his hands, feet, and limbs had been torn off by the demons that pounced on him. The demons each took the limbs of the underground ghosts and ran forward happily.
Look at the ghost on the ground, lying on the ground and letting out a heart-rending howl, blood flowing all over the ground, and flesh foaming everywhere.
The ghost howled for a while and got up from the ground, and formed a team with several ghosts with broken limbs next to him, and even danced with lions.
Hong was shocked when he saw the whole process, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Niu Tou hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Shangxian, the ghosts performing here are all ghosts who suffered in Vicious Dog Ridge and Jinji Mountain. The ghosts were mutilated because they had been bitten by vicious dogs and golden roosters. Ghosts with incomplete limbs cannot be reincarnated, so they stay here to find a substitute. ”
Hong, Ziwei, and Yaohua were all taken aback after hearing this, "Are you looking for a stand-in here?"
The bull head smiled and replied: "Those who are looking for a stand-in in the yang world are all ghosts on Huangquan Road." When the ghosts arrived at the Wild Ghost Village, they couldn't move forward or retreat, and they wanted to be able-bodied, so they could only use the limbs of other ghosts to install themselves. ”
Niu Tou looked at the performance team in front of him and said, "The grander the performance in Wild Ghost Village, the more dangerous it is. It is estimated that none of the ghosts who are watching the show here today will be able to escape. ”
As the bull's words fell, another terrible howl sounded from the ghosts in front of him.
Hong listened and was shocked, "After driving for so long in the ghost world, every ghost is frightened and haggard. Suddenly, when you see such a lively place, there is a good chance that you will stop and watch. Not to mention ghosts, even the three of us true immortals didn't see the heels here, so we stayed and watched the excitement. ”
Hong looked at the cow head and said, "I didn't expect this wild ghost village to be a pit ghost, Niu Tou, Wild Dog Ridge and Jinji Mountain all have ways to deal with it, I don't know if there is also a way to avoid it here."
Niu Tou knew that Hong Xinshan was good, and hurriedly said, "Shangxian, there is also a way to deal with it here. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, after a person dies, let the family incinerate three catties and six taels of paper money in front of his spirit, and the sound ghost has reached this level, if you encounter the evil ghost of the performance, you can distribute the dead money to pass the test smoothly. ”
Niu Tou looked at Hong and continued: "Don't worry, Shangxian, in the future, I will also spread the method of dealing with this level, so that the world will suffer less from this stump and broken body." ”
Hong was happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that Niu Tou had already understood what he was thinking. Hong immediately gave the bull head an approving look.
Now that they understood the details of the Wild Ghost Village, everyone was not interested in staying, so they took Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu to the next level.
