Did I get possessed by a ghost? I looked at my face in the mirror and was stunned. Almost subconsciously, I asked him, "Who possessed me?"
That person laughed coldly, "A toad in a broken temple, a stonemason in a waste grave, his own foster-grandpa, and a ghost in a cemetery. "There are too many people who want to get their hands on you. What does it matter who it is?"
I was stunned for a moment. I turned around to look at my uncle and saw him lying on the ground. My heart is pounding. Did I really get affected by the ghost just now?
Suddenly, a gust of wind rose from the courtyard and stirred his cloak. I was shocked to discover that under the cloak, it was empty. He didn't have any legs. In other words, he was floating in the air.
That person became a little impatient and urged, "Why aren't you making your move?"
I cautiously asked, "If I used this blade to kill a ghost, what would happen?"
That person said somewhat proudly, "Whenever a ghost is stabbed by a blade, it would let out a miserable cry and scatter into a wisp of smoke."
I nodded. "Alright."
Then I took a sudden step forward and stabbed the man.
As a person, I don't have much guts, so I'm more afraid of ghosts. However, since I had already done it, I would continue onward. I poked the blade forward as I lifted his cloak. "Let me see how you changed."
The other party was actually a woman. She glared at me furiously. "You're courting death."
She called out to me, and this time her voice was no longer muffled, no longer the hoarse voice of a man.
Before I could react, she reached out and pressed something to my forehead. I only felt as if I had been scalded by fire. I screamed in pain, then my body went limp and I fell to the ground.
"It's over. I met a female ghost. She was not bad looking, but it's a pity that she's a beauty of a snake and a scorpion. This time, I'm dead for sure. " As soon as I thought of this, I lost consciousness.
I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, it was still night. That doesn't mean anything. Maybe I've been in a coma all day?
I looked around. Hu Dali was still tied to the pillar while my uncle was still lying on the ground. As for me, I was tied to a chair.
As for that ghost girl … I looked around for a while and found her sitting in a chair, holding a large bowl of noodles in her hand. The way he ate … Hu Dali was even more refined than her. Sigh, what a pity. Perhaps this good piece of skin could be borrowed from the corpse of this thickset man to return to the body of this beautiful young lady.
As I was thinking about this, I suddenly felt a bit surprised: That's not right, only people who are alive can eat. Could it be that the other party is some kind of expert who came to save me while passing by, and I ended up poking him?
Just as I was lost in my thoughts, Hu Dali said, "Uncle, can we switch? I've been tied up here for a long time. You want me to lie down for a while, then stand for a while. "
The clan uncle laid on the ground and said lifelessly, "I actually want to stand. You don't know how cold the ground is, but do we have the final say here?"
So we all looked at that woman. The woman ate three bowls of rice in a row before placing the bowl down with a "pa" sound.
She stood up and wailed again, covering her stomach. It looks like I really hurt her before.
The woman stared at us and asked: "Where's Hu Mancang? Call him out. "
I didn't say anything.
The woman took out the knife again and placed it against my waist. "If you don't want to say it, then I won't stand on ceremony."
I asked her, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
The woman pointed behind her. "Can't you see for yourself?"
I saw a distinct shadow behind her.
The woman said, "Dead people have no temperature. Do you want to touch me and see if I'm hot?"
I blurted out, "Sure."
The woman kicked me hard, causing me to fall with my chair. "Beautiful, you rascal."
I lay on the ground, feeling extremely wronged. "I only wanted to verify your identity."
But at this point, I also believed that she was a living person. So I told her, "Do you know my foster-grandpa? He's dead. "
The woman was shocked. "Dead? How is that possible? " Her expression became very abnormal and she kept shaking her head. "Impossible, impossible. He died too early. "
I whispered, "When you get older, sometimes there are a lot of accidents. Actually, when I heard that he was sick, I also felt that it was quite sudden. "
The woman then asked me what illness the foster-grandpa was suffering from, which stopped me in my tracks. When I came back from the city, I was preparing for the funeral and the burial sickness non-stop. I really didn't ask foster-grandpa about his illness.
I looked at Hu Dali, who was stuttering, and knew that asking him was useless.
I looked at the clan uncle and the clan uncle sighed. "You're already old, what's wrong with you?" It's so hot, just send it to burn people and it'll be over. "
The woman nodded and sat on the chair, a little distracted.
I asked tentatively, "I say, do you know anything about exorcism?"
The woman nodded absent-mindedly.
I said joyfully, "We met a ghost in the Golden Toad Temple. That night, the three of us were tormented until we couldn't stand it anymore. Can you help us to drive it away? Right, where did that ghost go? "
The woman glanced at us and said, "I scared that thing away, but it won't be long before he comes back."
Hu Dali and the clan uncle immediately said, "Can you help us?"
The woman suddenly smiled. She sat down on a chair and said to me, "You can ask for my help, but I have a condition."
Hu Dali said: "I understand, I understand. I'm just looking for an honest man to repay me with my body? Seeing that you're so beautiful, you must like the most honest one. To be honest, I'm most suitable. "
The woman glared at him. "Shut up."
Hu Dali didn't dare to speak anymore.
The woman pointed at me. "I can help you exorcise ghosts, but you have to come with me."
I was stunned. "Why?"
The clan uncle and Hu Dali also asked, "Why?"
The woman said, "Have you seen the Master Xue before?"
I nodded.
The woman said, "I am very interested in the Master Xue. Through you you can find him. "So you have to come with me."
I thought to myself, "Not only does it solve the Golden Toad Temple's problem, it can also settle the Master Xue's problem. Is this a good thing?" So I agreed.
However, the clan uncle was a little reluctant, "When will you leave? How about a few more days? I don't know when I'll be back from the ninth day, but I want to have a good drink with him. "
The woman was rather easy to talk to. She nodded. "Sure."
Seeing that we had reached an agreement, Hu Dali shouted at the side, "Hurry and let us go."
The woman did not hesitate to cut our ropes with the knife in her hand.
But we did not dare to act rashly. Firstly, this woman's background is mysterious. Who knows if she knows kung fu or not? Secondly, we are still counting on her to drive away the ghosts. We are not finished yet, so we are not talking about killing the donkeys.
The clan uncle was very concerned about getting rid of the Golden Toad Temple, he kept asking the woman when she would be able to drive the ghost away.
The woman told him to get some rooster feathers, some black dog blood, and so on.
We have all of these things in our house, so the clan uncle just busied himself with them in the yard. The woman walked around me with interest. After a while, she asked, "Do you have a phone?"
I said, "Yes."
When I got back to the village, I didn't look at my phone. When he took it out to have a look, it was almost out of battery.
I plugged in the phone, and the woman and I exchanged calls, then we chatted for a while.
She called herself Xia Xin, and when she was born that year, it was at the Ghost Festival. As a result, he had grown up weak and sickly, and he had been entangled by many filth. The person who had seen the most in his life was the monk, Daoist Priest. As the saying goes, a long illness can lead to a good doctor. Even now, he still understood some petty tricks.
She was only here because of the Master Xue. It is said that my foster-grandpa had met the Master Xue before. Of course, the Master Xue was still alive at that time. That's why she came to my foster-grandpa to inquire about some things. Unfortunately, she still arrived a step too late.
After we chatted for a while, my uncle said that everything was ready in the yard.
Xia Xin stood up and said to us, "It's most likely something from the Golden Toad Temple that's hiding in the mountains. Let's go to the mountains and think of a way to lure it out."
All three of us are a little afraid of the Cemetery. But if we don't get rid of the things in the Golden Toad Temple, then we won't be able to live a peaceful life, so we nodded and agreed. Luckily, Xia Xin was there to guard it, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Before he left, his clan uncle had a lot of paper money in his pocket. Xia Xin curiously asked him what he was doing.
Xia Xin's expression was one of disdain, but she didn't say anything.
The three of us went out and headed for the cemetery.
On the way, Xia Xin always appeared to be absent-minded, and even had the time to take out her phone to play with it. After a while, she put the phone in her pocket, pointed to a corner and said, "Look over there."
We all looked over nervously. The corner was dark, with nothing to show for it. At that moment, the phone in my pocket vibrated.
Puzzled, I took out my phone and found that Xia Xin had sent me a text.
I don't understand. I'm right in front of her. Why would she send a text message?
The next second, I reacted. She might want to say something to me, something she didn't want anyone else to hear.
So I turned my back so that no one would see the light of my cell phone. I clicked on the text message. It read: I'm here to save you. You're in danger right now. You could die at any moment. Don't say a word later. Don't trust anyone. Wait for me at the gate at four in the morning. Remember, remember.
