Chapter 43 Chapter 3 Ghost Mother-in-law

Going down the stone steps, the more you go down, the heavier the yin energy, the three of them only felt a chill penetrate into the bone marrow. The stone steps spiraled down, and after walking forward for a while, the three of them heard the sound of water flowing. There are about forty or fifty steps in the stone steps.Walking to the end, there is a black stone screen in front of it. The stone screen is about three feet high and more than ten feet long. The sound of gurgling water comes from behind the screen. The three of them came behind the screen, poked their heads out lightly, and saw a light in their eyes.

It turned out that behind the screen was a huge grotto. The grotto is obviously formed naturally. The top of the whole grotto is curved like a dome, and there are huge tallow candles hanging on the top, illuminating the whole grotto as if it were daytime. The grotto is two to three hundred feet wide, half of it is land, and the other half is a deep pool. The water in the pool is emerald green, and a stream of water flows from the top of the cave in the east, slowly pouring into the deep pool. There is a black boat-shaped thing in the deep pool, and the boat seems to be loaded with something.The spring water in the pool kept tumbling, and bubbles came out one after another, and a layer of dark purple smoke floated over the deep pool, rising densely.

The deep purple smoke and the emerald green water complement each other, creating a strange atmosphere. On the stone ground beside the pool, there is a square tripod with four legs, which is about three feet high, and on the top of the tripod sits a benevolent old woman. The old woman was dressed in sackcloth, her eyes were slightly closed, and she was sitting cross-legged, with her palms facing each other, as if she was performing exercises with her eyes closed. Standing next to the four-legged square tripod was a middle-aged woman in her thirties. The woman had small eyes, snub nose, bald brows and a huge mouth. She was extremely ugly. Holding a bowl of clear water in both hands, she stood quietly by the side.

There was a person kneeling in front of Fang Ding, wearing coarse clothes, it was Yu Lao Er, the country man who came to drive the corpse. The country man knelt on the ground, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably, as if he was extremely terrified.The three of them saw that the old woman seemed to be seventy or eighty years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. They didn't know why Yu Laoer, the country man who drove the corpse, was so frightened. Behind Yu Lao Er stood the thirty or so zombies, each with expressionless faces and hands down. The three of them hid behind the screen, held their breath, and peeked intently.

After a long time, the old woman suddenly opened her eyes. Lian Xing was startled, and saw that old woman opened her eyes, her eyes were like lightning, sharp and compelling, not like the eyes of an old woman in her 70s or 80s. The old woman turned her lightning-like eyes on Yu Lao Er, and said softly: "You child, you are becoming more and more misbehaving. I think it's because my mother-in-law has been treating you badly, isn't she?" The voice was kind and kind. , just like a loving grandmother talking to her most beloved grandson. But after the second son Yu heard this, his shoulders trembled even more.Suddenly he kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "Grandma, please forgive me, please forgive me, please."

The old lady heard it in her ears, and without realizing it, she slowly closed her eyes. The second child Yu kowtowed, for a moment, his head hit the stone floor, bleeding was already coming out.Yu Er Er didn't dare to stop, he still kowtowed like pounding garlic, and the ground slowly became bright red. The middle-aged ugly woman holding water next to the four-legged square tripod also couldn't bear to see it, she opened her mouth to persuade her several times, but she didn't dare. That Yu's second son knocked blood all over his face, but he still didn't stop. The girl in white frowned slightly, Lian Xing's pupils shrank, and Da Kui couldn't help jumping out.

Lian Xing hurriedly stopped him and waved his hands to tell him not to act recklessly. Suddenly, the old woman said slowly: "Forget it, I will spare you this time, if you can't handle what the mother-in-law told you next time, hehe, you can figure it out." The second child Yu kowtowed a few more times before standing up, with blood trickling down from his forehead drop by drop. The three people behind the stone screen were relieved. Suddenly there was a sound of "clang", and the celadon bowl in the hand of the ugly woman standing beside Fang Ding fell to the ground and shattered.

Lian Xing's sharp eyes saw a flash of white light just now, as if a sharp object hit the celadon bowl, smashing the celadon bowl to the ground. The clear water in the celadon bowl immediately spilled all over the floor. The faces of the ugly woman and the country man Yu Laoer changed color at the same time, and they exclaimed "Ah", as if this bowl of clear water was an extremely important thing. The old lady opened her eyes instantly, and shouted: "Who is it?" Before she finished speaking, a man in gray flew down from the top of the grotto like a big bird, and stabbed at him with a gleaming dagger in his hand. That old lady.Look at the clothes of the man in gray, which is exactly the same as those thirty or so zombies.

The old woman shouted: "Bold!" With a wave of her right hand, a dark object flew out of her sleeve, and struck the gray-clothed man's chest like lightning. Hearing a loud "boom", the chest of the man in gray immediately burst into flames.The man in gray screamed, fell to the ground with a plop, fell on his back, and rolled over on the ground, screaming again and again. At the same time, those zombies who had been motionless seemed to lose control, opened their arms one by one, and rushed towards Yu Lao Er, the old woman, and the ugly woman. At a loss for what to do, Mr. Yu rolled around like a lazy donkey, avoiding a zombie that jumped at him, and hurriedly retreated to the east of the grotto.

The rest of the zombies surrounded the ugly woman and the old woman. The old woman stretched out her hand and pulled the ugly woman to Fang Ding, temporarily avoiding the pursuit of the group of zombies.The two stood up on the Fang Ding.The square tripod is very tall, and the zombies can't reach them. Four or five zombies chased Yu Lao Er, and the remaining zombies surrounded Fang Ding tightly. The old woman kept cursing on the four-legged square tripod. The ugly woman couldn't help but panic when she saw the zombies with teeth and claws below her. Although she had been with the ghost mother-in-law for many years and had seen countless zombies, the ghost mother-in-law cast spells on those zombies, and they were obedient one by one. No one is disobedient, it's not like these zombies are crazy today.She suddenly became at a loss, and asked repeatedly: "What should I do? What should I do, mother-in-law?"

Lian Xing, Da Kui and the girl in white watched from behind the stone screen with trepidation. Lian Xing said in a low voice: "It seems that there must be something weird about that bowl of water. That bowl of clear water must be the mechanism to control this group of zombies. Once that bowl of water is spilled, the spell cast on the zombies will lose its effect." The girl in white also nodded, and said, "That's right, that bowl of water must be rune water, which was cast by a spell by the exorcist." The fire on the man in gray slowly extinguished, and the man in gray remained motionless, as if he was seriously injured. Da Kui suddenly said: "Lian Xing, look, is this gray-clothed man who assassinated the ghost mother-in-law the same zombie that I mentioned to you a few days ago that gave me a glance?" Lian Xing frowned: "Where can you see it clearly? You were burned without looking." But looking at it, the man in gray was indeed the leader zombie that day.Presumably, the gray-clothed man must have had a deep hatred with that ghost mother-in-law, so he disguised himself to hide among the group of zombies, sneaked into the underground ghost city, and did what Jing Ke did to assassinate the King of Qin.I don't want to, the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes, the ghost mother-in-law is superior, and the gray-clothed man's painstaking efforts fall short in the end. Things in the world are unpredictable. At this moment, a strange change happened over there.
