From ancient times to the present, there have been many strange things on the mass graves, and there are all kinds of bizarre legends and ghost stories for thousands of years. As for the red-clothed ghost in front of me, she can move freely under the sun, from which I can conclude two points, first, she was hanged by this crooked tree, and second, she was extremely wronged during her lifetime.
The woman was wearing a red dress, but judging from the style of her clothes, it has never been seen in modern times, so I concluded that this female ghost should have died during the Republic of China.
Wei Meilan was so scared that she closed her eyes and dared not look forward. Wu Yu also nervously held my hand and did not let go. I rubbed the talisman ash on Wei Meilan's eyes to let her see the ghost, otherwise there are so many ghosts on the mass graves, and I don't know which one is her brother?
I said to them, "I'll go save your brother. You two stay here. Don't go anywhere. Don't be afraid with me here."
"Is there a ghost there? Why didn't I see it? What are you doing?" Wu Yu still pulled me and said nervously, "I'm a little scared. Otherwise, I'll go back first."
That definitely won't work. The five little ghosts must have remembered their appearance. It's okay for me to be here. If I'm not here, the five ghosts will have a hard time taking their lives, but they will inevitably get seriously ill. Let them stay where they are and don't move. I used six copper coins to make the simplest ghost-blocking array.
Then, I took Wu Yu's hand away and strode towards the female ghost in red. As the distance got closer, I heard a woman's leisurely ballad: "A good man should have high ambitions, and it doesn't matter if he is young. Brothers and sisters waved their hands and came to do military exercises. The officers held command knives, and the soldiers fired guns and cannons. The dragon flag fluttered, and the bronze drums beat. "
From the ballad, she should have lived in the war years, but dealing with evil spirits, it is absolutely not a friendly thing. The saying that "ghosts are afraid of evil people" often said by the common people is not groundless.
I took the Seven Star Sword in my hand, strode forward and said sternly: "Bold monster, this baby has no grudges against you, why do you kill people for no reason!"
The ballad was still humming softly, and the female ghost turned her back to me, and suddenly put her hand on her lips, making a silent gesture, as if she was afraid that I would wake up the baby in the cradle.
The red clothes were like blood, and even I could feel the strong obsession of the female ghost. Looking at the crooked tree, there were deep scars cut on the thick trunk with a knife. I counted carefully, a total of seven. In ancient times, the beams of houses and ancient trees in graveyards, where people had been hanged, would be carved with knives to disperse the resentment of ghosts. There were seven on this crooked tree, which meant that seven people had died here.
Six men and one woman are seven killers, and six women and one man are seven evil spirits. If I am not mistaken, six men and one woman should have died here, and the red-clothed female ghost in front of me should be the last woman to die.
Seeing that the female ghost did not answer me, I could not help but get angry. If she did not give it to me today, I was going to rob it. I continued, "Since you are stubborn, don't blame me for accepting you!" But when I just finished saying this, I suddenly felt my spirit platform heating up. Looking at the five ghosts missing one ghost, this little ghost actually wanted to possess me. Now that things have come to this, I can't blame me.
Generally, when a person is possessed by a ghost, you will feel that his face is covered with a layer of black gauze, so you cannot see his facial features clearly. This little ghost pounced on my spirit platform, probably because he wanted to pull out my "sky lantern" first, and then possess me!
"You really won't cry until you see the coffin!" After scolding the little ghost's behavior, I held the thunder finger in my left hand and the sword in my right hand. According to the stepping Tiangang step fighting method learned from the talisman spell, I stepped on the ground and chanted: "Tiangang Great Sage, help me break the army." I jumped with my legs apart, and stepped on the two star positions of "Break the Army" and "Tianpeng" with my left and right feet; I took a step forward and continued to chant: "If the enemy camp is robbed, break the resistance and flee." The sword pointed forward, and the sword flower danced with my hands and continued: "Hurry up and obey the order!"
With the help of Tiangang sword energy, a green light exploded from my body, and then the green-gray energy of the little ghost burst out of my body. When I saw the big tree began to shake, I continued to say to the female ghost: "The last sentence, will you let me go!"
I injured one of the five little ghosts, and there were still four left around me. It can be seen that these little ghosts have never suffered setbacks, or it can be said that they are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers. God is merciful and kind. When facing evil ghosts, we usually subdue or convert them, and rarely commit murder, so we often have a backup plan.
But one action of the female ghost angered me. A red light actually rushed directly towards Wu Yu and Wei Meilan. The green light emitted by the ghost-blocking formation blocked the evil spirit. If I hadn't arranged it in advance, they would have lost their lives!
"Looking for death!" I continued to step forward with my sword flower, fighting with the Tiangang Step, a total of eight steps, I just stepped half of it, and the remaining four steps were completed in one go: "War soldiers meet in chaos, the thieves are killed and the enemy camp hides me, the soldiers use five days of energy, even if they are seven stars, the law is broken!"
The sword light was like a dragon, and the four little ghosts "whooshed" into the crooked tree, and I also chopped the female ghost, but the female ghost did not dodge, and actually took my attack. To my surprise, she was not hurt at all, and the crooked tree dropped a branch out of thin air, and at the same time, the female ghost slowly turned around.
I was somewhat surprised, could it be that the grave of the female ghost in front of me was under the roots of this tree?
Her appearance did not have the ferocity of a hanged ghost, but was a little more peaceful. Then she raised her index finger to me and made a gesture to keep quiet. Then she pointed at the two women in the distance and the baby.
I understood what she meant. It turned out that she was threatening me. If I continued to pester her, she would attack the two people I brought with me!
Damn it, her behavior is now the biggest insult to me! If I can't even deal with a little ghost, what's the point of looking for the Nine Dragon Gate! It's even more embarrassing for my ancestors!
When I put down the talisman paper and prepared to perform the spell, I felt a breeze behind me, and then someone grabbed my shoulder: "Don't move."
Because there was no evil spirit, I didn't attack subconsciously, but turned around and saw a short middle-aged man standing behind me, only up to my chest. He had a bulbous nose, small eyes, a khaki hat, and a linen shirt. I stared at him without saying a word, because on him, I saw the same waist badge as the Night Wandering God!
"She can't be killed." The man said.
"Who are you?" I stared at him vigilantly.
"I am the local land god. I just saw the master catching ghosts, so I came here to remind you that this ghost is not an ordinary ghost. You can't kill her." He said.
I have seen the night wandering god. Zhong Kui once encountered it in North Korea. This time I met the land god again. Are they all on vacation now? How can they meet so easily?
After learning the other party's name, I hurriedly bowed. When I was detained by the ghost, I went to the land temple to check the household registration book. I saw the tall and imposing house of the land god. The land god is a god who blesses the land to peace.
"You're welcome, Master." The Earth God returned the greeting and continued, "I am the Earth God of Fengyang County. This woman died in the 10th year of the Republic of China. All five members of her family died in the war. Later, she was humiliated and gave birth to a child, but the child died of plague when he was 100 days old. The woman finally hanged herself."
I said that even so, she couldn't arrest people's souls for no reason. Since it was a sin, she should be punished. But the Earth God told me that when the female ghost in front of me just turned into a fierce ghost, she met the star god of heaven who came down to earth. The star god saw that the female ghost had a miserable life, but she couldn't reincarnate, so he gave the female ghost a chance. As long as she saved 900 people, she could wash away her resentment and reincarnate as a human.
"Look at that child. Because his soul was too weak, the female ghost was afraid that he would get hurt, so she took his soul here. But the cat demon was too powerful, and she was no match for him, so she let the demon take his two souls." The land god sighed and continued, "But ghosts are ghosts after all. The female ghost had a grudge against the child's death. Facing such a child, she couldn't help but love him and didn't want to let him go. That's why she couldn't help but attack the Heavenly Master. But now the baby is the 900th person she saved. If she is confused for a moment, all the merits of the past 100 years will be burned to ashes."
I sighed. Although a hundred years have passed, the evil ghost in front of me was sad because of the scene, so he treated the baby as his own child. I chatted with the land god for a few more words. He told me that in the past hundred years, the female ghost saved many passers-by and accepted some resentful ghosts to prevent ghosts from harming the people. Only a cat demon came ten years ago, and she was helpless.
When I heard the God of Land mention the cat demon, I frowned and said, "Since you know that the cat demon is a demon and harms the people, don't you care?"
The God of Land smiled awkwardly and said, "The Heavenly Master doesn't know that the cat demon became a spirit through hard practice. This is not within our jurisdiction, and I really can't beat it."
This made me a little confused. Aren't all gods supposed to be very powerful?
But when I expressed my doubts, the God of Land told me that not every god is particularly powerful. Although there are powerful ones, they are definitely not him. After learning about the life experience of the female ghost, I also had my own plans. Since the female ghost's grievances were caused by obsession, I could solve it for her.
After thanking the God of Land, I saw that the female ghost was still rocking the hammock to coax the baby to sleep. And just as I was about to leave, the God of Land suddenly called me: "Master Zhang!"
This sentence revealed a message, that is, he knew me! And the God of Land also said before that since the gods are not omnipotent, how could he know my name?
"What's the matter?" I stopped.
"Well, I want to remind you something." The Earth God stopped me and continued, "The cat demon used to live in Putuo Temple, five miles away from Damao Village. Later, after listening to the sutras, he was born with wisdom and became a demon."
"Thank you." I understood what he meant. A cat has nine lives, eight of which are illusions and only one is the real body, so this news is very important. But I immediately asked the Earth God, "May I ask how the immortal knows my last name?"
At this point, the Earth God actually laughed, turned around, and the yellow soil rolled up on the ground, and his voice came to my ears: "Leaping in front of the Nine Dragon Gate, becoming a mortal or an immortal, the time is coming soon, and you will understand it soon."
