Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

Before everyone had time to ask what was locked, Ghost Wu covered the cloth bag with a red cloth and said, "Follow me!" After saying that, he rushed out of the door and ran towards the east of the village along the rough dirt road. just go.He walked like flying, and several young boys chased after him all the way. When they arrived at the ghost ancestral hall at their destination, all of them could only breathe. A few people followed Ghost Wu into the backyard of the ancestral hall, and suddenly a strong smell of sulfur wafted into their nostrils, and the surroundings were pitch black. Just in front of a small open space surrounded by ruined walls, there was a faint golden light, shining in the darkness. It is extremely eye-catching, and the strange thing is that this light is not stationary, but is constantly moving, as if some living thing is constantly circling there.

Everyone was startled, and Ghost Wu asked someone to quickly light the torch, and the surrounding area was immediately illuminated.With the light of the fire, everyone took a closer look, and saw that in the middle of the courtyard, there were four strange circles surrounded by sulfur powder, which were arranged in a ring shape, one layer inside another. Each circle was not airtight, but There is an opening as long as the index finger, arranged in several circles, like a maze.A golden four-legged snake was trapped in the innermost layer, sprinting from left to right as if trying to escape, but fearing the power of sulfur, it failed again and again.

The four-legged snake was golden in color, with a hideous and terrifying appearance. It was more than a foot long, covered in golden thorn-like scales, and had red cockscomb-like tumors on its head. At this moment, it was baring its teeth and staring at everyone present , that looks like an ugly chameleon. Wu Qi looked at Ghost Wu and asked, "What? When you said it was locked, you meant this thing?" Ghost Wu nodded and replied: "I'm setting up a cage formation, just to lock this ghost and turn off the lights. This thing can't get out of this circle now, you don't have to worry!"

Hearing this, the people present breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Qi looked at the so-called ghost lights out with lingering fear, and continued to ask: "You said that Tianci was bitten by this thing? Are you going to use this thing as medicine?" ?" Ghost Wu hummed, pointed to the ghost to turn off the light, and explained: "There is a kind of karmic fire in the human body, which supports people's lives. It is said that this thing is the evildoer who steals the human body's karmic fire. It will age accordingly, and when it reaches a certain level, the fire of karma will be extinguished, that is, the lamp will dry up, and people will naturally die.”

Seeing that Wu Qi was skeptical, Ghost Wu continued to explain that it was actually just a folklore. There are many needle-like barbs on the tongue of Ghost Died Out, which are densely covered with poisonous glands. Died.There is no one alive under the ghost's mouth, and it is lucky that the boy of Zhao Erliu's family did not die of poison on the spot. "I want to catch it and use it as medicine, and I need your help!" Ghost Wu said, sweeping his eyes across everyone's faces.When the few people heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, and they couldn't help but backed off a lot, hesitating that no one dared to stand out.Indeed, with Zhao Tianci's precedent, coupled with Ghost Wu's exaggeration before, who would dare to be a hero and make fun of his own life now.

Seeing this, Zhao Erliu was in a hurry, and waved his hand and said, "Fucking men, Dr. Wu has taken care of all the dangerous things, so you are still afraid of asking, where are all the high-minded people on weekdays?" After speaking, I obviously felt that the persuasiveness was not enough, so I hurriedly increased the weight, and said in a loud voice: "Don't talk too much, if you are a man, just fart loudly. Whoever helps catch this bird, I will reward you with a thousand dollars." piece!" At that time, in this poor and remote place, one thousand yuan was not a small amount, and it was enough for ordinary people to marry a house and a wife. It seems that Zhao Erliu has put all his money into it for the life of his son, even if he is not mad. , and also showed full ruthlessness.

These words were powerful, and they were stunned when they heard it. The truth of "a man who is rewarded with great rewards" once again clarified its practicality. Although they were still afraid, they no longer flinched, and trembled. Step forward and try. Seeing this, Ghost Wu said again: "Just stand around the circle, don't leave any gaps for it to escape!" After speaking, he asked several people to stand around the circle on the ground, and then sent them a Take an anti-drug pill, just in case.Wu Qi laughed secretly when he saw it. This pill was exactly the pill that Niu Laodao gave to everyone when he went up to the mountain to catch the red ghost fire. Play this trick.

Ghost Wu used the cage array to trap the ghost, just to trap it and prevent it from escaping. The ghost is extremely cunning by nature, and his usual vigilance is very high. Using this cage to trap it, he couldn't capture it at all. Only when it is fleeing, its vigilance is the lowest, and it is the easiest to attack at this time.But even so, ease is only relative. If there is a slight mistake at this time, the consequences will be disastrous, and success or failure depends on it. Ghost Wu naturally understood this, so he didn't relax a bit, and was extremely careful with every step he took.I saw him take out a mothball-like ball from his body, draw a line in that circle, and go around from the innermost circle, as if drawing a track for the thing to let it walk out. generally.Wu Qi recognized the thing that Ghost Wu used to draw the line. It was the agarwood pill that he found from the box of the coffin in the Ming Dynasty when he captured Chi Guihuolian.

The ghost turned off the lights very sharply, and immediately became restless. After turning around a few times, he suddenly yelled "chirp" twice, as if he had received an amnesty, and began to flee along the track drawn by the ghost.Its movements were extremely fast, and amidst the thunder and lightning, a golden light flew out.It didn't shy away from the crowd surrounding it at all, dodged left and right twice, and pounced directly towards the face of one of them. It was too late to say it, and then it was fast, Ghost Wu jumped forward suddenly, like an arrow off the string, and rushed forward. Before the few people could see what was going on, they heard a few screams of "chirp", the ghost had turned off the lights and It was held tightly in Ghost Wu's hands, only the head, tail and hind limbs were exposed, the tongue stretched out long, and it kept struggling.And the tongue of Ghost Died out was only a few centimeters away from the face of one of them, and if Ghost Wu made a move later, it would be inevitable that this person would be poisoned and died on the spot.

Only then did Ghost Wu let out a long breath, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down his flushed cheeks, while the whole body of the man opposite him was already stiff, and he stood there with his mouth half open, as if he had been frightened silly, Ghost Wu As soon as he stopped, he fell straight down, foaming at the mouth and twitching, Wu Qi quickly gave him two injections, and finally nothing major happened. They took the captured ghost and turned off the lights, and rushed back to Zhao Erliu's house as fast as they could. Ghost Wu grabbed its stomach and squeezed it fiercely, and a black pill the size of a glass ball was squeezed out of its mouth. , Ghost Wu took it quickly, handed it to Wu Qi and said, "Quick! Feed it to the patient!"

Wu Qi didn't dare to be negligent, so he opened Zhao Tianci's mouth immediately, stuffed the pill in it, and took two sips of water to make sure the pill was swallowed, and then he was relieved.Ghost Wu said: "It's okay, it will be fine in two days!" After speaking, he let go of his hand, and the ghost turned off the lights and ran into the night desperately and disappeared. According to Zhao Erliu's opinion, this thing shouldn't be let go, it's better to just kill it and burn it, lest it will harm others in the future.Ghost Wu told them that this is not acceptable, because ghosts with lights out have a strong sense of revenge, and there are usually a pair of these things in the same place. Once they know that one of them has been killed, it will definitely come out to harm people, and the whole village may suffer.The best way is to stay away from those desolate and gloomy places, and nothing will happen if you don't provoke them.After finishing speaking, Ghost Wu shook his head and passed out. Wu Qi hurried forward to take a look, and soon found that he had an injury on the back of his hand, obviously poisoned by this thing. Although Ghost Wu has a special physique and has the ability to resist poison, but the toxicity of ghost lights out is too strong. Wu still inevitably suffered a little bit of violation.Wu Qi didn't dare to neglect, quickly and carefully sucked out the venom with a cupping cup, and gave him a few more injections.Ghost Wu was in good health, and he woke up after a while, and there was no serious problem. If it was an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would never be able to wake up again. As soon as Ghost Wu woke up, he opened the cloth bag tied with chopsticks, poured out all the white rice inside, and told Zhao Erliu to wait for the child to wake up two days later, and use the rice to cook him a hundred meals for the first meal. Disease can only break the root.Zhao Erliu nodded vigorously, reached out to take it, and then seemed to remember something, looked in the rice in confusion, and suddenly found that the black pill hidden in the bag of rice was gone! "Hey, where is that pill? Where did it go?" Zhao Erliu thought he was cooking porridge with the pill and rice, but when he saw that the pill was not there, he became anxious.Ghost Wu chuckled, and said indifferently: "Dr. Wu has already fed your son's stomach!" Everyone was stunned, now even Wu Qi couldn't figure it out, the pill I ate just now was actually the pill hidden in the rice bag before, but the pill was obviously tightly sealed in the rice bag, why did it go to hell? Lights out belly?Could it be that Ghost Wu was born in juggling? Strange is strange, the effect of this medicine is really not random. After Tianci took the pill, he began to vomit that night. , his body began to slowly return to its original state, and his consciousness gradually became clear. After two days, he fully recovered. Not long after he got out of bed, he returned to his usual mischievousness, chasing and playing inside and outside the house. Zhao Erliu kept his word, and rewarded everything that should be rewarded, and gave a thousand yuan directly to the previous man who was almost scared out of his wits, and then arranged several tables of banquets at home, like a celebration banquet When he got up, the child's illness just happened, and it happened to be in time for his tenth birthday. Zhao Erliu was naturally refreshed, and with his temperament, he had to be extravagant. The wine lasted until the evening, and Zhao Erliu hummed a tune comfortably in the courtyard to cool off.Now that Zhao Tianci's illness has been cured, Wu Qi and Ghost Wu packed up their things in the guest room, ready to go home.Inadvertently, something under the bed suddenly caught the attention of the two of them.
