Chapter 11 Dealing with the Female Ghost
"hey-hey."
The stinky old man laughed, didn't answer, and walked up the mountain. I cursed in my heart, and then hurried to follow him.
I don't know if it's because of what I felt just now, but I always feel like there's something on both sides of the mountain road. The already eerie hillside is even more creepy. That shrill voice and the gloomy and bloody breath make me nauseous. Just thinking about it makes me feel dizzy and have difficulty breathing. But I can't stop myself from thinking about it. The more I try not to think about it, the more I think about it.
"When the mind is calm and the body is upright, no evil can invade."
The stinky old man suddenly said something, as if he was talking to me. I roughly understood what he meant, and hurriedly did as he said, trying to calm myself down as much as possible. After a while, I really stopped thinking about random things, my mind calmed down, and my body felt much more comfortable.
The old man looks sloppy, but he is really capable.
We walked for a while and finally reached the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was just like the hillside, with sparse vegetation, and most of them were dead and yellow, without any vitality. The whole top of the mountain was dead, and a heavy feeling of depression rose in my heart. I quickly calmed myself down, and then I felt much more comfortable.
"Master, the top of this mountain is bare, why is that female ghost here?"
I asked curiously.
"Her home is here, so of course she came back here."
Home? I was stunned, and then asked in surprise: "You mean her grave is on the top of this mountain?"
Without waiting for the old man to answer, I looked around. The area of the top of the mountain was not much bigger, and the trees were dead and overturned. There was nothing to block the view. I could see the edge of the top of the mountain at a glance. But I didn't see any graves.
I thought that the ghost had been dead for who knows how many years, and even if there was a grave, it was probably gone. I looked carefully again and saw a small mound of earth under a dead tree.
"that!"
I quickly pointed at the small mound. The old man smiled and said, "That's right."
As he said this, he walked over there. I followed closely. When we got closer, we could see clearly that the small mound was slightly raised, and the dwarf trees next to it had long since withered, leaving only some dry branches. There was no living creature on or around the mound. And there was no tombstone on the grave. The stone tombstone should be able to last for a long time, and it is impossible for it to be weathered or something.
That's really strange.
"for you."
I was just guessing and thinking secretly when the old man suddenly threw something to me and I quickly caught it. Then I was stunned to find that what I received was a short-handled shovel, a bit like a portable engineer shovel.
"What? Do you want me to dig a grave?"
"Yes, digging graves."
I was slightly startled, then threw the engineer's shovel aside and cursed, "You asked me to dig someone else's grave, are you immoral? If you want to dig it, do it yourself."
"It's your choice whether to dig the grave or be strangled to death by that female ghost."
I was stunned, and then I cursed inwardly, this stinky old man is threatening me. But as the saying goes, a man has to bow his head under the eaves. My father also said that a real man should be able to bend and stretch. Well, in order to save my life, I had to obey.
I picked up the shovel and glared at the old man fiercely. He curled his lips and looked away, pretending not to see my expression. You old man, just wait. When you die, I will dig your grave.
I don't know how many years this grave has been there. The soil on the grave is very hard, and the engineer shovel is not very effective. It took me half a day to dig it open, revealing a somewhat rotten wooden coffin inside.
"Master, Master, we found the coffin."
I shouted quickly.
"Pry open the coffin lid."
The slight joy I felt when I found the coffin disappeared instantly. I cursed under my breath and did what I was told. After a lot of effort, I finally pried open the coffin lid. There was nothing inside except a skeleton.
Maybe I had been scared enough times today and I had become much braver, so I didn't feel anything when I saw the skeleton.
"Master, pry it open and there's a skull inside."
"Hoohoo! Hoohoo!"
Before I finished speaking, a strange sound suddenly rang out from all around, and at the same time a strange gust of wind blew towards the grave. There seemed to be a figure in the gust of wind. I looked closely and saw that it was the beautiful long-haired female ghost.
"Master, Master, that female ghost is coming!"
"You're just talking nonsense. Can't I see it myself ?"
The stinky old man cursed me. Then he said to the female ghost, "Little ghost, no matter how wronged you were in your life, now that you are dead, you should go to the netherworld honestly. Why do you have to stay in the world of the living and wander alone?"
"You nosy old man, I'll kill you!"
The ghost's long hair suddenly flew up, and her whole body, oh no, the whole ghost, rushed over with the strange wind. The whistling wind was mixed with bursts of sharp and piercing strange sounds, like a cat's cry, a baby's cry, and the sound of nails rubbing against glass. In short, it was weird and piercing, very unpleasant to the ear.
"Master, be careful!"
I held the engineer shovel, huddled in the grave, and looked outside with my neck shrunk.
"You are so stubborn. If that's the case, I will take you in!"
The stinky old guy suddenly let out a low roar, his voice was as loud as a bell and very powerful. It didn't sound like the roar of a sloppy old man at all. Instead, it sounded like the roar of a big, strong and sturdy man.
Then the stinky old man danced his hands quickly, making the seal he had mentioned before, but this time his hands moved so fast that I couldn't see clearly, and it was much more complicated than the previous one.
"Exorcise evil spirits and bind demons, Supreme Yuanling. The stars on the stage never stop, and the wisdom is clear and pure!"
The stinky old man chanted a curse under his breath, spread his hands apart, and raised his left hand with the palm facing backwards, while at the same time he stretched out his right hand forward with the index and middle fingers together, pointing at the female ghost.
As the stinky old man moved his hands, a white light suddenly appeared outside his body. The light flew forward and twisted into the whistling wind.
“Gah!”
A shrill roar sounded in the strange wind, which made my scalp numb. The stinky old man stretched out his left hand and waved it. The strange wind around him suddenly dispersed, revealing the female ghost. The female ghost who was so imposing just now was now tied up by a ray of light, which flickered unsteadily, and the female ghost screamed continuously.
The stinky old man suddenly withdrew his hands , put them together in front of his chest, crossed his ten fingers, put his index and middle fingers together and raised them, and pointed at the female ghost.
"There is no need to be alarmed at the Xingtai. Taiyuan will capture the evil spirits. Capture!"
As the spell fell, the light that bound the female ghost suddenly shone brightly and spread in all directions, covering the female ghost. The female ghost's strange cry suddenly stopped, the stinky old man spread his hands, and with his left hand, the light spread out, and a faint blue light flew towards him, which he caught in his hand.
The strange winds around gradually dissipated, the strange sounds also disappeared, and the entire mountain was silent.
Is that it?
I swallowed hard, feeling suspicious. The stinky old man turned around and said, "Come up."
I came to my senses, climbed out of the grave, and asked with a big smile on my face, "Master, you are very capable. Did you kill the female ghost?"
The stinky old man did not answer. He took out a small bottle from his pocket and sprinkled some water-like liquid into the coffin. Then he took out a matchbox, lit a match and threw it in. The bones in the coffin and the coffin gradually turned into ashes in the flames. The stinky old man stood by the grave and whispered a spell.
Under the tyranny of the old man, I re-covered the grave. I don't know when the sky has brightened, but looking around, it is still dead silent and lifeless.
"this is for you."
The stinky old man suddenly handed me something. I was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it. It seemed to be the blue light, and it felt extremely cold, like a piece of ice.
"What the hell is this?"
I asked, frowning.
"When the pain in your temple becomes unbearable, swallow this thing while reciting the soul-sucking technique I taught you before."
The stinky old man said this and walked down the mountain.
