Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Ghost Ancestral Hall

The ghost lights out is a very strange thing, it looks like a snake, but it has limbs, a triangular head with a cockscomb, and a highly poisonous body.It is very rare to see ghosts with lights off, they only hibernate in barren cemeteries, and they are active day and night. According to folklore, ghosts with lights out will imitate human voices and call out to passers-by. At this time, you must not look back, once you look back, you will be hit immediately. Trick, inexplicably poisoned.Some rumors say that you must not let it jump up when encountering a ghost with lights out. As long as it jumps higher than the person's head, that person will die immediately. Run to hell!"

Judging from Ghost Wu's description, Wu Qi wonders if this is a strange kind of Gu insect. The place is located in a remote place, which could be regarded as a barren place in ancient times. People with ulterior motives use this evil method to harm people. After some discussion, it was already night in the blink of an eye. Zhao Erliu treated Wu Qi and Wu Qi as if they were distinguished guests, and greeted them with a table of sumptuous farm meals and warm hospitality.Wu Qi was thinking about Tianci's illness, so he had no mood or appetite at all at this time, he just kept asking about Tianci's strange disease for information about the dinner.Soon, something that Zhao Erliu inadvertently mentioned caught their attention.

That was already two years ago, and such chatter at the dinner table was brought out.The thing is like this: there is an old ancestral hall in the east of Zhaojiatun Village that has been in disrepair for a long time, and there is a second-rate man named Wang Liuzi living in it. Second-rate, he usually eats and is lazy, and there are a lot of unreliable things about serious things. Just two years ago, this guy went to the back mountain of the village, and suddenly disappeared shortly after he came back. Wang Liuzi is a bum, who steals, picks up, moleses the big girls, daughters-in-law and widows in the local area. He has done everything and is notorious. Although his disappearance is strange, it has not attracted much attention. What the villagers dream of.

Several months passed in this way, and the local people almost forgot about Wang Liuzi. Later, when the road was to be built at the east end of the village, the ancestral hall where Wang Liuzi lived and the big locust tree behind the ancestral hall were all because of this. To be dismantled.The old people in the village said that this big pagoda tree is old and has become a spirit, and those who saw it off will be in bad luck.As soon as the words came out, some people really didn't dare to go up, but there were naturally those who were bold and unbelieving, and the team rewarded a pack of big front doors drawn by city people, so they did it without hesitation.But when sawing down the big locust tree, something frightening happened.

Just as the big tree was sawed off and fell over, everyone hid far away to the other side to prevent being drawn by the fallen giant tree.But then a strange thing happened. When this towering tree that had grown for hundreds of years was sawed off and was about to topple over, it suddenly turned around in the direction of its fall as if by some magic power, and stood there in a daze. Slammed towards the place where the crowd gathered.Fortunately, the people present reacted quickly and avoided the catastrophe. In the end, the big tree fell heavily on the ancestral hall, directly crushing the century-old ancestral hall.

Everyone felt like they were alive after a catastrophe, and they were cleaning up the smashed ancestral hall with lingering fear. At this moment, someone suddenly found a yellow paper figure in the wall of the smashed ancestral hall.The paper figurine is about the size of a normal child, with lifelike hair, mouth, nose, ears and eyes. It stands in the ruins of bricks and stones of the ancestral hall, and there is no sign of damage. At this time, it seems to be alive, and it is expressionless Stare at the crowd. All the people present were terrified, and all kinds of theories came out. Some people said that Wang Liuzi disappeared because of the evil spirit who fell into this thing. Some even said that this thing was Wang Liuzi, and his ghost possessed him. .At that time, things were quite noisy, and the village chief was afraid that something would happen, so he calmed down and said: burn, so the paper man was burned along with the old locust tree, and everything was fine afterwards. , I didn't see anything happened to the villagers.

So far, the ancestral hall has been abandoned, and no one has dismantled it or paid attention to it in the past two years. On weekdays, people in the village will walk around when they see it.On the other hand, these boys in the village like to go crazy in groups. God sent this kid to the ruined ancestral hall to play hide-and-seek with a group of children. Well, adults can't watch it all day long. When something happened a few days ago, this kid seemed to be playing with a bunch of kids again. Ghost Wu was stunned when he heard this, and Zhao Erliu asked: "Doctor Wu, you said my Tianci really recruited that..."

"Go and have a look!" Before he finished speaking, Ghost Wu suddenly got up and said, and then rushed out the door.So several people put down their bowls and chopsticks, Zhao Erliu led the way, and the three of them rushed to the ancestral hall at the head of the village. Zhao Erliu was worried, and wanted to call more people, but Ghost Wu held him down and said that there was no need, there were too many people On the contrary, it will be troublesome. The ancestral hall at the head of the village has been around for a long time. Even if it is not accidentally collapsed by a big tree, it probably won't survive the wind and rain for a few years. Only people like Wang Liuzi who have no real business will live here.At this time, half of the ancestral hall had collapsed, and there were only a few dilapidated gray-black walls standing upright with waist-deep weeds. There were traces of fire all around the ruined walls, and the night was haunted by ghosts.The location of the ancestral hall is at the end of the village, and not far away is the deserted cemetery in the back mountain. Because there is no field and no mountain road here, the villagers generally seldom come here.Now it seems that this place is really more suitable for messy things to exist.

"Which wall was the one where the yellow paper figure was found?" Several people tiptoed over the broken wall, stepping on the broken bricks all over the floor and carefully looking inside, Ghost Wu asked Zhao Erliu softly. Zhao Erliu looked around, pointed to an area and said, "Oh, when this happened, people were so frightened at the time, how can I remember it so clearly, you can see the traces of the locust tree, it should be in the This one!" "Have you ever seen it with your own eyes? Do you remember what the paper figurine looked like?" Ghost Wu continued to ask.

Just as Zhao Erliu was thinking, trying to recall, scratching his head and scratching his cheeks, Ghost Wu suddenly asked: "Is it a square face, with green eyes, and a cat-like beard at the corner of the mouth, the whole face looks like a cat's face?" Same?" "Yes, yes, yes...!" Zhao Erliu suddenly realized, and said impatiently: "It's like this, it's very evil, and I'm not afraid of making jokes when I say it. When I saw it at the first sight, several people present immediately peed Pants. You said that the god-sent disease is caused by this thing?"

Wu Qi then asked: "Have you ever seen that thing? Could it be some kind of sorcery?" Ghost Wu said: "This is a method of harming people. The paper figurine has been given an evil technique of subjugation. If it finds a chance, it will find a superior person. Once a person is subdued, it will definitely be its victim. As time goes by, it will become more and more serious." The qi dissipates little by little until the oil is exhausted and the yang qi dries up, this is a veritable ghost extinguishing the lamp!" Zhao Erliu felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and said tremblingly: "Before I was afraid that you two were scruples, there was something I didn't dare to tell you, in fact... when that happened two years ago, Liuzi Wang We've been found!" Zhao Erliu saw Ghost Wu at a glance, and he didn't dare to hide anything anymore, and poured beans out of a bamboo tube. "Found it? What's the situation?" Zhao Erliu looked around, and said in a terrified voice, "It's a little scary to say, I found it by chance, but..., alas! It's a very evil thing!" It turned out that the incident happened when the old locust tree was sawed down. At that time, the old locust tree fell and knocked down the ancestral hall, almost hurting people. In addition, the weird yellow paper man scared the villagers who were watching the fun Half dead.Zhao Erliuzi was the security director of the village, so he was naturally afraid that something would go wrong. At that time, the village chief just said that he wanted to burn it, so he hurriedly dismissed all the people present, leaving only a few people with him. Deal with the scene. Just when they were about to break up the old pagoda tree into pieces and gather them together to burn them, they suddenly saw a dark object tightly stuck in a branch of the pagoda tree.That thing looks black and long at first glance, and it is definitely not a bird's nest or a bee's nest. It is hunched over, with four arms spread out and tightly wrapped around the branches of the locust tree, like a long-armed monkey.A few bold people carefully moved forward to have a look, and were shocked: This is actually a dead person! Zhao Erliu stepped forward and saw that it was indeed a dead person, but he had already become a dead person. It was so dark that it had lost its human shape, like a piece of burnt coke. Wang Liuzi.Everyone was very surprised for a moment, why did the sixth prince die on the top of this old locust tree?You don't have to climb so high to hang yourself!If it weren't for the clothes he wore for several years without changing, who would have known that the dead man was the Sixth Prince! Combining the series of strange things that happened before, the few people felt a little scared at the moment, and Zhao Erliu also felt that it was unlucky, so he immediately asked those people to do it together, and burned the old locust tree, the paper figurine, and the remains of Wang Liuzi , and then in a remote place near the foot of the mountain, a hole was dug and Liuzi Wang's ashes were hastily buried.Several people swore a poisonous oath afterwards, and they must not say anything about this matter, and they are not allowed to tell their daughter-in-law, otherwise they will suffer retribution.Wang Liuzi was originally a bum, no one cared and no one asked, if it wasn't for what happened today, the old things about Zhao Erliu might never see the light of day. After Zhao Erliu finished speaking, Ghost Wu's complexion became more and more solemn. Wu Qi could easily guess the seriousness of the matter from his face, but right now it is important to save people, there is no time to delay, and he is not good at specific matters. I continued to question, so I went straight to the topic and asked, "How do you find the introduction to the medicine you mentioned?" Ghost Wu replied: "The person who tied the bell needs to be untied. If Tianci was really harmed by evil magic, we would have a hard time dealing with it. Fortunately, I'm sure he has nothing to do with these things. Ghosts must have come here to turn off the lights. Tianci should It’s just that I accidentally fell into its tricks here, and if you want to find a medicine primer, you have to find that thing first!”
