Desperate to borrow the soul of Begonia Town
The previous document said that Li Jingliu's yellow-mouthed child was driven out by Uncle Yuan and sent to call Huazi to practice, of course, his father Lao Li Tou was naturally the golden shopkeeper of the tongue and lotus to communicate, saying that it was communication, and it was closer to deception, and he casually installed a market research name to flicker the old Li Tou, who had been to the farthest place in his life eight miles away from Jinlu Town, in the final analysis, Lao Li Tou was still very suspicious of the smiling shopkeeper at first, but he was poor and white, and then held his son and carefully looked around and did not find anything worth cheating。
What Xiaosheng wants to tell the officials today is what Li Jingliu has experienced in this experience.
Li Jingliu is a person, with his eyes that can see the origin and a shell that is slightly more durable than ordinary people, and he went out with a hand bone that he didn't know the purpose of so far. This incident once made Li Jingliu very puzzling, is this trying to play my rhythm?
No, it's been about half a month since he came out, one day in the middle of the night, Li Jingliu was like a wild ghost wandering around the woods, you asked me why he didn't live in a store, he didn't have any money. If you want to say that the hero is naturally happy and revenge, why don't you need to think about money, let alone the hero, Li Jingliu is not even a normal person, before he went out, the little lady Yuan and the golden shopkeeper pulled two pieces of broken silver in the money cabinet, and the reward seemed to be thrown to Li Jingliu as a coil, this has been more than half a month, Li Jingliu has not received half of the money, and then try to go to the guest house, unless he doesn't even want to eat steamed buns.
As the old saying goes, if you walk at night for a long time, you will hit a ghost, although Li Jingliu doesn't often walk at night, but the fire of the living people who sway back and forth in the field at night looks as dazzling as a merman's oil candle in the eyes of the wandering soul.
No, a small town suddenly appeared in front of Li Jingliu's eyes, the town was hidden in the fog, its buildings were erratic, and the ghosts were full of fire, and the green eyes seemed to be evil beasts.
To say that ordinary people would rather go to the roots of the tree for a night than go in, but Li Jingliu didn't think so, this kid's first reaction was to go in and see, to say why he was so bold, first, the ghosts who can really come up directly and tear people apart are a few after all, ordinary ghosts are scary at best, and they seem to be a ball of dead air to themselves, so let him drill around in his body without the slightest substantial harm. Besides, if you can really fight, you can just come up and get a bite, and you can't do the illusion of covering the clouds and fog. Second, since there are ghosts here, there must be graves, and since there are graves, the probability of burials is very large. As the old saying goes, people die for money, and this is most obvious when people are dying of starvation.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the town, there was no popularity at all, and when I looked ahead, there were ruins and bones around me. Li Jingliu took a breath of cold air, from his nose to his lungs. A hand seemed to appear behind his back, caressing Li Jingliu's neck coldly.
"Hee-hee-hee~, Childe~, knowing that this place is dangerous, why did you come?"
Li Jingliu didn't move, turned around silently, separated himself from the female ghost who was bubbling with cold air in his bones two steps away, and looked at the female ghost carefully, the corpse was covered with body, and the dirty long hair was draped down, covering most of his face, and his slightly exposed chin and eyebrows were too pale, but they looked delicate. To say that women, whether they are human or ghost, must pay attention to their own appearance, just this appearance, either a wandering spirit who deliberately pretends to be a monster, or a subordinate who looks like Xiaoqian and doesn't know which way of the monster.
The ghosts have been so uncreative these years, Li Jingliu thought to himself, and then turned around and left, ignoring the female ghost behind him.
"Hey, don't go, Childe, I still have something to say. When the female ghost saw this, she seemed to be trying to keep customers at a low price.
'Hey, I was born great, how can I be restrained by your little female ghost?' Li Jingliu shook his head, raised his eyes forward, the ethereal town was still desolate, the original ghost fire had disappeared, but at this time it was replaced by a miserable ghost crying:
"There is no time in life to force yo~~Alas~~Alas~~"
"Eighteen years of dreams~~Alas~~"
"Oh my son!!!When will you return!!
The ghost cry was extremely miserable, like the old man's sigh and the old woman's sorrow, and the grief of the old man who lost his son was all hidden in these few lamentations.
Li Jingliu only felt a burst of heat in his chest, and he felt the temperature of the crystal hand bones in his arms for a while, and a voice suddenly appeared in his mind, but it was the golden shopkeeper: "Li Gongzi, you have five chances to hear my voice in a year, this is the first time, when the ghost cries." The first hint is that the bone in your hand, called the Linglong Bone, has one of its functions as a soul gatherer. Of course. I advise you not to try it now, you won't know what it is. ”
There was silence for a while, and the voice sounded again: "For the sake of having a good father, I will give you an extra secret, and hungry ghosts can also eat it." ”
Li Jingliu held the hand bone tightly, found a few pieces of silver on the rotten clothes of the corpses around him, pulled a branch again, cut his middle finger and dripped a few drops of blood.
In folklore, the blood of the middle finger belongs to the extreme yang, which has the effect of avoiding ghosts. Although Li Jingliu doesn't know whether the legend is true or not, it doesn't hurt to make more preparations.
Walking forward, the ghost's cry became even sharper, piercing the ear. At the end, there was a deserted grave, or a grave bag without even a tombstone, which was covered with uneven thatch, and what was even stranger was that there was a tree growing in front of the grave, and I didn't know what was on it, and when the wind blew, the fruit of the tree fluttered and flickered.
An old couple sat on the grave, whimpering from time to time, and the old woman screamed every now and then, as if she were crying out for her son's return. The old man squatted on the grave with his head in his arms, with a knotted grass branch in his mouth, and sighed from time to time.
When Li Jingliu was about to step forward to check, the old woman turned her head suddenly, and a face with no facial features was straight towards Li Jingliu, Li Jingliu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, and when he looked again, the grave bag disappeared, only the tree was still standing there, and if he looked carefully, it was not any fruit on it, but a pair of small feet of the baby.
When I look back, the dilapidated and barren town has also disappeared, replaced by a peaceful and prosperous place, and even the sky has become blue and cloudy. The decayed town gate was replaced by a tall archway, on which were written three blood-red and full characters, Haitang Town.
Li Jingliu settled down and firmly grasped the delicate bone in his hand, and there was a slight heat on the hand bone, as if to appease Li Jingliu's frightened mind. It's not the first time Li Jingliu has met a ghost, and the eight achievements that may have come up with such a big battle are the kind of evil ghosts that can freeze ten miles with a mouthful of yin wind.
"If I run away at this time, I will definitely die, don't the things in the town just want me to go in, then I will meet him when I go in, can he still kill me in the blue sky and daylight?" Li Jingliu secretly muttered in his heart, cheering himself up.
He walked into the town, and the town was full of joy, with red dyed cloth hanging along the street, and smiling clay dolls everywhere on the stalls. The sound of firecrackers can still be faintly heard in the distance, and the crowd on the street is bustling, but they are all wrapped in a layer of fog and blurred, and most of them are walking in one direction, that is, the direction of the firecrackers.
Li Jingliu squatted down at the stall next to him, picked up a clay doll and looked at it carefully, the doll had essential facial features, vivid and vivid. was about to look again, but was grabbed by the vendor's hand: "Don't touch it if you don't buy it, if you touch it, you will have no spirituality!" The vendor grabbed a piece of red silk cloth and quickly but carefully held the doll from Li Jingliu's hand.
"What if I buy it?" Li Jingliu was a little curious, seeing the gentle movements of the hawker did not seem to be treating the goods at all, but treating his own children.
"If you buy it, you will give money, how can you touch it if you don't give money?" the peddler raised his head and said in a serious tone.
Li Jingliu looked at the vendor and was stunned, the vendor had no facial features, and under his sparse bun was an oval egg face.
"Hee-hee~~" A chuckle that seemed to come from afar.
"How much?" Li Jingliu said in a suppressed voice, and if she listened carefully, she could hear the voice trembling slightly.
"How much did you say, haven't you bought it? Look at you young people, you don't know how to buy dolls if you don't learn well?"
The hawker's complaining tone carried the anger of the market, but it greatly alleviated Li Jingliu's fear.
"Then I won't buy it. Li Jingliu got up, at this time he was eager to see more people, to be precise, more people with faces.
The peddler didn't entangle, and thought to Li Jingliu in pieces: "Young people nowadays, they are not self-motivated at all, and the dolls they have touched say that they won't buy them if they don't buy them......
A little far away stood an old man, judging from the wide skeleton and satin clothes, it should be the old man of a rich family. Li Jingliu approached a little and silently thought in his heart that everything was safe. stepped forward and asked the old man: "When I first came to your place, I saw the crowd in front of me, I don't know what happy things are there in your place?"
The old man turned his face, it was Li Jingliu's already familiar egg face, he said: "Housheng, it's really time to come, today is the doll of our town mayor's family for a hundred days, and the flowing water is set up, that is, my family looks red, if you haven't eaten yet, just follow the person in front of you, delicious food is indispensable." ”
"Thank you, sir. Li Jingliu smiled bitterly, he had indeed eaten steamed buns for two days, but in this place, what was served was bear's paw and camel hooves, and he didn't dare to eat it.
Moving forward, there seemed to be more crowds, Li Jingliu was wrapped by them and walked forward, occasionally looking at the crowds on both sides, one by one still had no facial features, seeing too much, Li Jingliu also involuntarily touched his face, smooth and flat, like an egg. Yes, at some point, he himself has no face.
The kid had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but finally he laughed. This group of people has no ghostly spirit, and they have no popularity, but they can become the same as these things as a living person, presumably all this is still an illusion. Thinking of this, I breathed a sigh of relief, most people are scared to death by themselves in hallucinations, and the real hallucination kills people as rare as real ghosts.
As the crowd moved forward, it didn't take long to see a large family, judging from the eight Eight Immortal Tables that could be placed horizontally in the courtyard, the mayor's family was quite wealthy. Walking into the door, there are red paper firecrackers all over the ground, and there are some pieces of paper hanging on the beautifully shaped sick plum trees in the courtyard. As soon as Li Jingliu was surrounded by people, he sat down, and saw a crane-haired old man dressed in red, with a cane in one hand and a baby in his arms in the other.
Ladies and gentlemen, Xiaosheng would like to add here that in the past, the social environment was not good, and people who could live to be sixty years old were considered to be long-lived, and most of the people who were forty years old looked about the same as they are in their sixties now.
As soon as the old man came on stage, the originally boiling voice calmed down in an instant, and no sound could be heard, even the sound of confetti rubbing against the soles of his shoes seemed to be completely blocked, and it was as silent as death.
Then the egg-faced old man raised the baby in his hand, the baby had complete facial features, that is, a wrinkled black skin, which was not pleasing at first glance, and the eyes the size of mung beans kept wandering, neither crying nor making trouble.
"Today is a big day for my Wang Dafa boy to be 100 days old! Everyone who comes to eat and drink can afford me! I don't have to say much, everyone eats and drinks well and watches a good show, remember to read two more auspicious words in my heart to wish my boy a safe life. The old man's voice was full of energy, and there was no weakness in his twilight years at all.
"Okay!" I don't know who responded abruptly, followed by applause and applause like waves.
Li Jingliu was annihilated in a round of applause, and there was only one question in his heart, what else could this group of eggs and mouths eat? Soon, his doubts were resolved, and the plate brought up by the servant was not chickens and fish, but a stove of incense, and the smoke was in the courtyard, and the rich aroma was accompanied by some unknown smells, and it smelled a little disgusting. Those egg faces sniffed greedily at the incense with non-existent nostrils...... Soon, the smooth skin became black and wrinkled, like the baby's face.
By the way, baby, not to mention babies in such a lively town, even children are not seen.
Thinking of this, Li Jingliu held the delicate bone in one hand, and tightly pinched the blood-stained wooden branch in the other, and quietly walked up to the stands, no one noticed Li Jingliu's movements, the egg-faced people were like vegetarians who had been eating for many years and suddenly saw a meat carnivore, they couldn't wait to hold themselves to death, how could they have time to pay attention to others.
On the stand was a group of actors, wearing heavy makeup and throwing sleeves, but they didn't sing, and their feet were going back and forth mechanically, and their movements were as stiff as puppets. Li Jingliu carefully walked through them and walked into the hall, which was not as dim as he imagined, but rather bright and dazzling. The red oil candles hanging on both sides illuminate the hall red, like a happy house.
Further inside, there is an old woman in a big red wedding dress, the reason why she is said to be an old woman, judging by her face, she is a woman. Yes, this is an old woman with a face. The goosebump-haired old woman clutched a small quilt with her chicken-like claws, and the shape of it did not look like a baby at all, but a pair of shoes. She heard Li Jingliu walk in, turned her head and smiled shyly, an old chrysanthemum that had been frosted for at least thirty years bloomed like this, she lowered her head and said in an old voice: "Old man, you see, I caught our son, and he will never leave." ”
Then, she made a classic seduction action from ancient times to the present, which was also an action that Li Jingliu couldn't figure out why she couldn't figure out if she wanted to break her head, kicked her shoes eight inches away, and stretched out her old skin and wrinkled calves and fell on the edge of the bed.
"Come and help me put my shoes on, old man. ”
Li Jingliu felt a chill in his heart, mainly because he was frightened by the old face that didn't look like a human face at all, he saw that the old woman couldn't leave the bed at all, starting from the lower half of the body, the old woman's spirit body was stuck with the bed. You can use this method to seduce people...... What do you think in your brain? You say that a female ghost is a female ghost, young and beautiful love to toss and toss, let's accompany you to toss, not to mention picking up shoes, even kneeling on the washboard, we recognize it, but you say that you have done it at this age and still hold back your energy, don't you look for a beating?
Thinking like this, his heart began to be unhappy, Li Jingliu picked up the shoe with a branch, and was just about to slap the old woman's face with the sole of the shoe, when the shoe turned into ashes the moment it touched the branch.
The old woman screamed at that moment, mixed with this earth-grabbing accusation: "Son! Son! Mother's shoes are broken, and Mother will never walk again!
Li Jingliu endured the sharp scream of the sharp pain and dizziness that pierced the eardrum, took the branch in his hand, a beautiful straight stab, but unexpectedly, he was caught by the old woman, the old woman stopped screaming at this time, she began to smile, a weird smile, from Li Jingliu's point of view, you can clearly see that her face has turned from adolescence to middle age, and then stopped in middle age, and then, her face began to sunken, just like ...... It's like being stepped on by two little feet of a baby. After a pause, it changed again, she was old, she was old with a sunken face, and the flesh on her face was concave, and it looked like a chrysanthemum......
The officials understand what kind of chrysanthemum it is~~ Xiaosheng won't describe it too much.
Li Jingliu trembled, his vest was cold, and then, without hesitation, he bit his middle finger, using the branch as a drain, and flowed a large drop of blood down the branch in the direction of the old lady. In the end, the ghost thing is still a ghost thing, that is, she is so awesome that she will still be burned like a skinned frog if she comes into direct contact with yang blood.
The old woman hurriedly shook off the branch, but instead of doing so, she splattered herself with a stream of blood. Immediately shivered with a hot body, and billowing black smoke rose from his body, the effect was the same as the consequences of taking a strong acid in later generations. I don't know where the old saying goes, take advantage of the enemy's illness to kill the enemy, it is obvious that the current Li Jingliu understands this truth very well, he saw the old woman holding the swaddling clothes tightly in her hand, and stabbed it straight over.
To say that this is the benefit of Li Jingliu's ability, he doesn't have to test his weaknesses before starting with the monster like an ordinary monk, Li Jingliu can directly see where the monster's death hole is, and see a precise strike, a fatal move, and never make up the knife. Of course~ This is only limited to a little weaker, and the old woman in front of him is a monster whose range of activity is fixed at all, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the golden-armored warrior who is too dreamy, Li Jingliu can see where his death hole is, but his body movements can't keep up with his eyes at all, not to mention the active attack, it is enough to escape safely.
Watching the old lady turn into ashes, Li Jingliu understood that no matter how noisy the ghost was in life, he was quiet when he died.
Looking at the old woman's arms falling, the swaddling clothes scattered on the ground at this time, Li Jingliu's heart was cold, he hurriedly rushed out of the hall and came to the courtyard, at this time, those plays moved, they pounced on those egg faces like locusts, poked out the slender mouthparts from the Tianling cover to those egg faces, and sucked deliciously, those egg faces became thin and brittle after absorbing the incense, and some even fell down before the drama pounced, the eggshells slammed on the stone table, on the bluestone slab, and the crisp voice with red and white brains flowed all over the ground。
Li Jingliu didn't dare to move, he honestly hid behind the high stage, and an inexplicable thought suddenly popped up in his mind, these egg faces are hungry ghosts, and hungry ghosts can eat them, so these scenes ......
Li Jingliu took out the delicate bone from his arms, and sure enough, the black lines of the bone joints were very obvious, how to gather the soul, only when it was broken up can it be gathered, isn't it a good time in front of you. Thinking of this, Li Jingliu has almost determined that the first product of this gathering of souls is a hungry ghost.
He didn't know how to use the delicate bones, so he had to press the delicate bones to the ground according to his own will, at first there was no reaction, as more and more egg faces were eaten, the six fingers of the delicate bones opened, and wisps of transparent smoke flowed down the different directions of the nails. There was more and more smoke, and the delicate bones seemed to be propped up by something, gradually rising, and after about half a column of incense, those actors were basically full, and the creatures under the delicate bones seemed to have vitality, faintly pulsating.
"My name is Chunyang, and I worship my lord. "The creature under the delicate bones suddenly took shape, a young man, with a soft and warm voice, as if bringing a spring breeze.
"So you're hungry?"
"I crawled out of the eighteenth floor of hell. The boy's voice was playful.
"Don't talk nonsense, is there a price to get you out?" Li Jingliu really still likes women, and such a beautiful boy is all kinds of unpleasant at first glance.
"Well, I'll have to eat half of your soul when I die, well......" said the boy with some hesitation.
"I'm not going to die. Li Jingliu responded firmly.
"Hehe, that's not necessarily ~ Who knows what will happen in the future?"
"Hehe, Chunyang, right?
"My lord, don't treat me like a dog, okay......" The young man was slightly displeased, still pounced on the well-fed group like a wild dog.
"Hmph, will I tell you that this is handed down by the predecessors?" Li Jingliu thought silently in his heart, and at the same time remembered that the little lady of Yuan had to rush up with the envoy Jiading, En...... I should have struggled, thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Chunyang with contempt, hum, a man is beautiful but he has no temperament, this kid habitually ignores that he looks quite handsome.
As it turns out, the delicate bone is indeed a good thing. This yard of summoned things is indeed very capable of fighting, Li Jingliu after the hungry ghost Chunyang rushed out, he took out the posture of a century-old serf turning over, his neck was not sore, his waist was straight, and he took the emperor's sense of showing off his might when he went out to visit the place, and jumped into the stands with the golden sword.
That Chunyang really didn't disappoint him, he said before that the actors were like locusts, but Chunyang is simply a harvester, click a few clicks, not to mention those plays, even the few remaining egg faces don't let go. Less than five moments had slipped out of him and the stage when the wind swept through all the spirits in sight. The most important thing is that whether it is gnawing on the brain melon seeds or eating the heart, liver and lungs alive, people can eat it more elegantly.
"Is this the end?" Li Jingliu asked, this combat power is too strong, and it has a fight with Yuan Xiaoniang!
