Chapter 6: Ghost
Seeing its horrible appearance, I immediately remembered the record in the Ghost Talisman Sutra, called "hair ghost". Because it was jealous of others who were prettier than it when it was alive, and it died unjustly, its resentment was extraordinary. Therefore, the biggest wish of this dead ghost is to harm beautiful women. The more beautiful they are, the more it hates them. It kills one and hides in the next one, which can help it change its appearance. The more beauties it kills, the more beautiful it will become.
This kind of dead ghost is very difficult to deal with because it has countless ghost heads hidden under its body. The Ghost Talisman Sutra says that it must be subdued with talismans, and it will not work if you use silent spells.
I looked at its creepy heads, and my heart was chilled, and my legs were a little weak. There was no chance of escaping, so I might as well give it a try. Even if I was raped by it in the end, it wouldn't be so embarrassing. Thinking of this, I decided to try the silent spell, because it was driven away by the copper coin sword before, and then injured by my silent spell, so it must have lost some vitality. Maybe I can deal with it without the talisman.
Just as I was about to start, I noticed that Xiao Xi and I were blinking. Although she was dragged over again, the ghost hair didn't seem to be wrapped tightly around her as she lay on the ground . She could even raise her hand and point at her bag. I then understood what she was thinking. There was a magic weapon to exorcise ghosts in her bag.
So I didn't dare stare at Xiaoxi, for fear that Xiaoqing would see through her. I stared at the ghost woman and smiled, "Wife, I really love you like this. Today is the auspicious day for us to enter the bridal chamber, so we shouldn't kill anyone? Otherwise it will be unlucky." As I spoke, I caught a glimpse of Xiaoxi's expression as if she was about to vomit, but she reached out and quietly took the bag off her shoulder.
How could Xiaoqing be kept in the dark about her taking off the bag? After the ghost woman sneered a few times, her ghost hair tightened, making Xiaoxi's tongue stick out. But she just swung her arm and threw the bag into the air. Xiaoqing was furious, and she swung a strand of her long hair over and smashed the bag in the middle, and the things inside fell down. There were cosmetics, a mobile phone, a copper coin sword, and a few yellow talismans sealed in a plastic bag. But the plastic bag was torn, and the yellow talismans fluttered in the air like a few butterflies.
I thought to myself that this girl was really a liar. She said she had no copper coin sword in her bag, and she said she only had two yellow talismans. Do you have two of them? I can't be angry with her now. I should blame myself for not finding anything when I touched her bag just now. The copper coin sword was broken into pieces, and the copper coins fell to the ground one by one. I can't rely on this thing. I can only rely on the yellow talisman floating in the air. I immediately shone the flashlight in my left hand on these talismans to see what they were. I made a thunder gesture with my right hand and rushed forward.
In a flash, he held a "ghost-suppressing talisman" in the air with his fingers, chanting a spell at the same time: "The sky and the earth are dark. Thunder, lightning, wind and fire, officials and soldiers. If you hear the name of the pass, come quickly. Drive away the ghosts and capture the spirits. Hurry up and obey the order!"
In fact, just after reciting two sentences of the spell, Xiaoqing's ghost hair hit me out, and my back hit the stone wall heavily, and then rolled to the ground. No matter how painful it was, I kept my finger gestures unchanged and recited the spell in one breath. At this moment, I felt the energy surging throughout my body, as if I was in the clouds and mist in the sky, floating and ethereal, with an indescribable magical effect.
The ghost-suppressing talisman between the fingers burst into flames. In an instant, the wind in the tunnel whistled, and thunder could be heard faintly. Xiao Qing screamed "Ah" and turned into a puff of black smoke and floated away in the direction she came from. Just like when she was hit by Lei Xueting's copper coin sword, she fled very quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I was panting heavily, staring at the end of the empty corridor, thinking that my skills were still too shallow, otherwise I would have scared it to death.
"You can use talismans?" Xiao Xi got up from the ground in surprise, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
"It doesn't work. I'm just using it blindly." After saying this, I felt pain all over my body, especially my internal organs, as if my intestines and heart were reversed.
This girl is not stupid, how could she believe my nonsense. She came over, rubbing her neck covered with bright red marks, and stood in front of me and said, "Don't say you are like a dead dog now, even if you are alive and well, you can't beat me. If you dare to talk nonsense to me again, I will really cut off your tongue."
I smiled bitterly, turned over and lay down, panting and said, "Let's stop fighting. Don't you realize that we both fell into a trap?"
"What trap?" She didn't react for a moment, her beautiful eyes full of confusion.
"Your Aunt Ting asked you to bring me to the river, but she had no good intentions at all..."
"Don't talk nonsense. Aunt Ting won't harm me." I was interrupted by her before I could finish my sentence.
Although this girl is quite cunning, she is still young and refuses to believe even when being betrayed. I snorted coldly and said, "She said someone will meet you by the river. Where is that person? She also said there is an ancient tomb at the bottom of the river. Isn't that it? You trust your Aunt Ting too much. She actually sent a female ghost to wait and kill us. If I hadn't cut off the ghost's hair in the river, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to find the tomb door and would have gone to the West. Hey, do you think there is really a Tathagata Buddha in the West?"
"Why do you care whether there is a Buddha in the West? Even if there is, he will not accept a little hooligan like you. Tell me, why did Aunt Ting want to harm me? She raised me since I was a child." Xiao Xi still didn't believe it, and her face was very determined.
I was just guessing. If you want to know why, I have no idea. But in order to convince this girl, I rolled my eyes and came up with a reason: "She wants to get something from me, but I have tried my best and failed to find out anything from me. I will tell you everything if I am caught by you? So she used a self-torture trick and sent a female ghost to test my background in the river. If the female ghost entangles me directly, I might die before I can make a move. That's why she made up her mind to let the female ghost harm you and force me to make a move.
Do you know what it means to not sacrifice a child to catch a wolf? You are the child who is here to catch me, the wolf. If I don't know how to use the talisman to exorcise the ghost, the child and the wolf will die together. Even if I can save my life and you die, it is worth it. In her heart, you are just a chess piece, used by her, and she doesn't care whether you live or die. "
My words moved Xiao Xi. She lowered her head and frowned in thought for a moment, then asked me, "Auntie Ting and your uncle both want to know if you can cast talismans? Casting talismans is not a great skill. Auntie Ting is very proficient in using talismans to exorcise ghosts. Why do they want to get something from you?"
Suddenly I heard a small sound coming from the end of the corridor. I raised my index finger and hushed it, then said in a low voice, "This is a long story. You just need to believe that I have no ill will towards you. We must work together to escape from this ancient tomb."
"How do I know you mean no harm?" Xiao Xi turned around alertly and leaned against the wall.
I smiled bitterly and said, "Silly girl, if I had bad intentions, wouldn't it be easy to kill you underwater? And just now, the female ghost wanted to kill you, if I didn't do anything, how could you survive?"
"Okay, I'll reluctantly believe you this time." The girl said reluctantly, but her expression still showed that she believed it. "However, Aunt Ting wants to harm me, so I still can't believe her. Since she didn't come here, let's temporarily become friends and find a way to escape from this ancient tomb together."
At this moment, the rustling sounds coming from the corridor became more frequent. I waved to her and then got up from the ground.
