Chapter 8 Chapter Seven: Ghost Essence Demon Flower

Bypassing the ancestral hall of the Wang family, there is indeed a small forest behind, but now under the thick fog, it looks like a swarthy piece - from a distance, there are blue will-o'-the-wisps appearing and disappearing in the forest.I know that behind the woods, including in the woods, there are countless earthen graves. "Doctor Xu, where do you guess those monster flowers are?" Wang Jiwei asked, "If it's not necessary, we don't have to go into the woods." The second fat man shrunk his head and said, "When I look at this forest, it's very dark, it's really scary!"

"Although I don't want to go, I guess, this demon flower should be in the woods!" I whispered, "Everyone, be careful." "En." Wang Jiwei agreed, holding a shotgun and walking ahead. Just as I walked into the woods, I stumbled and almost tripped over something.I was busy holding up the flashlight to take a picture, and suddenly my hair stood on end, and a skull stared at me with bared teeth. "Oops!" The second fat man naturally saw it, and immediately screamed in fright. "What's wrong?" Wang Jihong asked in a low voice. "It's okay!" I hurriedly said, but I was wondering in my heart. It's true that this place is a mass grave, but there is an earthen grave after all. How could there be a skeleton exposed in the woods?The four of us walked a few steps forward. Suddenly, the second fat man yelled "ah", which startled the three of us. Wang Jiwei asked, "What's wrong?"

"I...I want to take a shit... My stomach hurts!" The second fat man bent over and shouted. "This..." I was immediately dumbfounded. As the saying goes, people have three urgencies. This stomachache makes you want to shit, but what should I do? "Why don't you hurry up?" Wang Jiwei stomped his feet and shouted, "I told you not to come, you want to recharge!" I was really puzzled at first, Village Chief Wang doesn't seem like an unreliable person. The two brothers of the Wang family he recommended to me are bold and steady, and they are really good people in handling things, but this fat man is really unreliable. .Now that I heard what the Wang family brothers said, I finally understand that this kid is going to come here on his own life or death.

This kind of thing, if you do it, you will be in danger of your life, and it is not fun, but he wants to follow? "But, you guys are shining on me with flashlights, how can I pull them out?" the second fat man said with a mournful face. "Well, you squat under that big tree alone, and we will wait for you here!" Wang Jiwei said through gritted teeth, "If you have something to do in the future, don't follow!" "You know how to bully people!" The second fat man muttered, raised his pants, and ran under the tree over there, shouting, "You three are talking, otherwise, I'm afraid!"

This time, even I wanted to swear. Since I was afraid, why did I follow?Of course, it's useless to complain about the second fat man at this time. We just stood and waited less than four or five steps away from the second fat man, but due to the hazy fog and the darkness in the woods, we could only vaguely see the shadow of the second fat man.After waiting for about ten minutes, Er Fatty was still not healed. Wang Jiwei called impatiently, "Are you ready?" Only four or five steps away, Er Fatty didn't answer. Wang Jihong glanced at me, and I Just looking at him.Wang Jiwei turned around and looked at the two of us. The three of us had the same thought in our hearts. Nothing will happen, right?But at such a short distance, even if something happens, as long as the second fat man calls out, we can still hear him.

In the distance, still faintly discernible in the dense fog, a vague shadow squatted on the ground——I gritted my teeth and walked forward first, followed closely by the two brothers of the Wang family. In the middle, it seems that it really can't play a big role. One step, two steps, three steps... Suddenly, my eyes blurred, and the shadow of Er Fatty disappeared. This is really too weird, I just saw it just now, so in the blink of an eye, the shadow of Er Fatty disappeared out of thin air in front of us?The two brothers of the Wang family were anxious first. Wang Jiwei gritted his teeth and shouted, "Second Fatty..."

The voice echoed in the woods, and the echo spread far and wide, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.I held up the flashlight, walked around the tree, and shone at the foot of the tree. I just wanted to see if Er Fatty was here.However, when I saw clearly what was under the tree, I immediately took a step back. At the foot of the tree, a dead man's skull was placed upright on the fallen leaves, staring at us coldly. problem occurs!I thought to myself, those two fat guys disappeared innocently out of thin air... The three of us, when you look at me and I look at you, we are all dumbfounded.I took a deep breath, calmed down my flustered emotions, and whispered: "It's okay, let's look around, this forest is not big!"

"Be careful!" Wang Jiwei said, "The three of us can't be separated anymore. There really is a kind of evil in this woods." It's just that we searched around in the woods, but we didn't find Er Fatty's shadow, nor did we find the Ghost Essence Demon Flower.The brothers of the Wang family are obviously much more anxious than I am. I know that Er Fatty and the brothers of the Wang family are definitely close.Otherwise, the brothers of the Wang family wouldn't let the second fat man behave like a fool and agreed to take him to do such a dangerous thing.

"Brother, what should we do?" Wang Jihong, who had been taciturn, asked. "Look for it again!" Wang Jiwei said in a deep voice, "If we can't find it, we'll go back and come back tomorrow during the day." It's completely impossible to find the Ghost Essence Demon Flower during the day, it will shrink into the ground during the day Only in the night will it grow quickly and absorb the yin energy at night.But if I can't find it, I can't help it.I was about to speak, but at this moment, Wang Jihong suddenly whispered: "Brother, look——"

Wang Jiwei and I looked in the direction of Wang Jihong's finger, only to see countless figures faintly visible in the thick fog, seeming to be prostrate and kneeling on the ground... That absolutely can't be Er Fatty, there is only one Er Fatty. "Go and have a look!" Wang Jiwei whispered, and as he spoke, Wang Jihong was already holding a flashlight and walking forward according to Wang Jiwei.I was busy and wanted to follow, but suddenly my back tightened, and someone put a hand on my shoulder.I was taken aback, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Second Fatty, don't be joking, people will scare people to death..." At this time, there was no one else in the woods, only me, the Wang family brothers, and Er Fatty.

The brothers of the Wang family were in front of me, so I naturally thought of that fat man who was a bit unreliable in his actions, and I instinctively thought he was joking with me and wanted to scare me. The two brothers of the Wang family who were walking in front heard my words and hurriedly turned their heads. Then, as if crazy, Wang Jiwei pointed a shotgun at my head, without even breathing time, just shot me. come over.I was so frightened that my whole body went limp, my calves trembled, and immediately my body went limp and I fell down. "Doctor Xu!" Wang Jihong rushed over and helped me up from the ground. My whole body was drenched in sweat, and I shivered when the cold wind blew.I turned around and saw that there was no fat man behind me, it turned out to be a huge white-eyed wolf. "Doctor Xu, are you okay?" Wang Jiwei also ran over, supported me and said, "I was in a hurry just now, didn't I scare you?" I calmed down, the muscles all over my body were trembling due to too much tension, and they were so sore, but I forced myself to calm down and said: "It's better to be scared than to be eaten by wolves!" , that's scary. When I was a child, my grandma used to scare me, saying that there were wolves in the mountains, and people walking at night would not know about them, so it would secretly stretch out its front paws and put them on people's shoulders, people thought it was a joke, and when they looked back, the wolf took the opportunity to bite Break people's necks, then feast on... When I grew up, I often went to the mountains to collect herbs. Although I encountered wolves several times, I never encountered the situation like my grandma said. I thought it was nonsense. How could wolves be so smart? Thinking that today in this forest, I actually encountered it personally, and I almost died in the wolf's mouth. I turned around and took the flashlight to shine on the white-eyed wolf that was still twitching on the ground. This place is not far from the mountain village. It is said that there should not be wolves haunting it. Otherwise, I’m afraid it would have endangered the livestock in the village. There is a white-eyed wolf? "I didn't expect that there are wolves near us!" Wang Jiwei also looked terrified, and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, no one dares to come here, otherwise, wouldn't they have been yelled at by wolves?" "Find Er Fatty Quickly!" I said anxiously, there are wolves in this place, what should I do if I accidentally eat that unreliable Er Fatty?How can I explain to Village Chief Wang?And God knows there is only one wolf in the woods? I took a photo of the white-eyed wolf on the ground with a flashlight, its limbs were still twitching, its fangs were bared, and it was terrifying--Wang Jiwei's marksmanship is very good, and he hit it between the eyebrows with one shot. Under the severe pain, the white-eyed wolf had to bite me to death. However, the moment we turned around, there was nothing in the place where there seemed to be countless figures kneeling on the ground in the thick fog just now—could it be that this is actually the legendary ghost worship? According to the records in ancient books, all the places with ghost marrow and demon flowers are bound to be places of evil spirits, usually mass graves. Such places are filled with gloom, and when ghost marrow demon flowers appear, you will see ghosts. There are many shadows, kneeling down to worship the demon flower. I thought it was just an absurd statement, the Ghost Essence Demon Flower is indeed powerful, but, there will not be such weird signs that are contrary to natural science?It's just that seeing it with my own eyes now, my heart twitches and hurts because of being too nervous.The three of us stared at each other, unable to speak for a while, the two brothers of the Wang family sandwiched me and walked forward. "Oh!" Suddenly, Wang Jihong exclaimed in a low voice. In front of us, there stood a blue "person"... In the thick fog, it was strange and inexplicable. "What is this?" Wang Jiwei asked anxiously. "Who? Is it fat?" Wang Jihong asked in a deep voice. "Don't be afraid, this is the ghost flower! It's not a fat man." Holding the flashlight, I shone on the blue "person" standing not far in front of us, and whispered, "It's a plant, not a person! But, It is highly poisonous, but fortunately we have all taken anti-toxic medicine, so we don’t need to be afraid of it.” "Damn it!" Wang Jiwei cursed in a low voice, "I don't know where the second fat man who has done more than succeed in his affairs has gone? Such a place is not fun!" I knew he was worried about Er Fatty, so he was busy comforting him in a low voice: "Er Fatty also took the medicine I gave, and ordinary evil things can still be avoided." While talking, the three of us took a few steps forward, and we had already reached the ghost marrow flower—it’s just that this plant was born too weirdly, the whole body was blue, there were no branches and leaves, and it was all green. Finger-thin vines are entangled together, and finally it turns out to be a person. In the dark, there is thick fog. From a distance, it looks almost like a real person... According to the records, it is said that the ghost flower is attached to the corpse. It burrows into the ground during the day and grows out at night. It absorbs the yin energy and forms it. Over time, the condensed yin energy will condense into a poisonous barrier in rainy days. I can't... "Look, there's a man over there!" Wang Jihong pushed me and said, pointing at the back of Guisui Yaohua. I followed Wang Jihong's fingers and looked over, and sure enough—not far behind the Guisui Yaohua, there was a person lying upright... It was in the thick fog, so I couldn't see it clearly. The three of us peeped at each other, thinking of the ghost worship just now, we were all terrified. Wang Jiwei said in a low voice: "Go and have a look before we talk!" He protected us with his gun, bypassed the ghost flower, and walked there. Involuntarily pounced on the Guisui Yaohua, and suddenly turned pale with shock. My back suddenly tightened, but it was Wang Jihong who pulled me back heavily. I was only a little distance away from the Ghost Essence Demon Flower, and I was pulled back abruptly by him. I was still in shock, my heart was beating wildly, and I held up the flashlight to shine on the bottom of my feet. Seeing this, the three of us were startled again. What tripped me turned out to be a white bone... "There seems to be traces of someone digging on this ground." Wang Jiwei said suddenly. I looked at the white bone on the ground, only half was exposed on the ground, and the other half was buried in the soil.Yes, there really seemed to be traces that someone had dug it up on the ground—the Ghost Essence Demon Flower was indeed cultivated artificially.And it didn't take long to form, otherwise, the people in the village would have been attacked by the demon bees long ago. "Look, it's the second fat man!" Wang Jihong said in a low voice. "Oh?" I hurriedly looked over, sure enough, the person lying on the ground we saw just now was the missing Er Fatty. I was extremely worried and hurried over, followed by the two brothers Wang Jiwei.The second fat man was lying straight on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. I took a picture with a flashlight, and there were slight iron-blue marks on his face, which must have been poisoned by the demon flower. I knelt down, put my hand on the second fat man's pulse, checked for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, he just inhaled too much demon flower poison gas and passed out." "What should we do now?" Wang Jiwei asked me. "Didn't you bring kerosene? Pour it on the demon flower, then burn it, dig out the roots, and burn it together!" I ordered. "Okay, you all stand back, I'll come!" Wang Jiwei said. I nodded, and joined hands with Wang Jihong to pull the unconscious Fatty Two back a few steps. Just as Wang Jiwei was about to pour kerosene on the ghost flower, he stopped suddenly and remained motionless. I was taken aback, fearing that something might happen, I asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" "Doctor Xu, come quickly and take a look—what is this?" Wang Jiwei whispered. I was stunned, and hurriedly walked over, and illuminated it with a flashlight, I saw some tiny bee swarms densely entangled on the ghost marrow flower, and the whole body was also faint blue, making one's scalp numb. "This is the demon bee!" I explained in a low voice, "They were originally ordinary bees, but because they absorbed the poisonous gas of the ghost marrow flower, they became a mutated species. You poured kerosene on them and burned them together." "But, this bee can fly, what should I do if I let it run away?" Wang Jiwei asked in a low voice, "Aren't they going to hurt people again?" "Don't worry, as long as this Ghost Essence Demon Flower is destroyed, within three days, if there is no poisonous gas to nourish it, these bees will die naturally, and nothing will happen." I explained in a low voice. "That's good!" Wang Jiwei said, and as he spoke, he poured the kerosene he had prepared on the ghost marrow flower, lit a match and threw it over. The Ghost Essence Demon Flower was doused with kerosene, and as soon as it touched sparks, it immediately caught fire.In an instant, a puff of black smoke shot up into the sky, and at the same time, we smelled a disgusting stench from the tip of our noses, and what was even more unexpected was that the ghost marrow flower screamed pitifully in the fire, In the middle of the night, it sounded like a ghost screaming from hell, making people shudder... It took more than ten minutes for the flames to gradually go out. Waiting for the ghost marrow demon flower to be completely burned off the ground, the three of us worked together to dig down its roots, about half a meter deep. I saw its lumpy roots in the soil, but there were actually seven skulls around the lumpy roots, clustering the lumpy roots in the middle.What are the countless tentacles on that lumpy root, tightly entangled those skulls - it was born by absorbing the yin energy of these dead people! The scalps of the three of us were numb, and after a lot of effort, we finally dug out the massive root of the ghost flower. The rhizome of the ghost flower was as big as a football, and it turned into the shape of a human head. Even with the facial expression, They were all hideous and terrifying. The three of us worked together, poured kerosene on the skulls, and lit the fire—— When Wang Jiwei ignited the fire, the rhizomes of the ghost flower were still struggling to jump, with blue flames, making a shrill ghost cry, which was heard from far and far away in the woods, only the three of us could hear it Terrified. I didn't feel relieved until I saw that the rhizomes of the Ghost Essence Demon Flower were all burned to ashes.This thing is really too evil. Who the hell is it, and why do they plant such weird and inexplicable ghost flowers near the ancestral hall of the royal family?Isn't he afraid of being punished by God? Judging from the newly excavated soil traces on the ground and the arrangement of the skulls on the rhizome of the ghost marrow flower, it is definitely man-made. Moreover, this person should be a senior doctor with a deep understanding of medicine, otherwise, he is useless. There is no way to make such evil things, and even if ordinary people want to make them, they will not dare to touch these dirty things after knowing the formula of the Ghost Essence Demon Flower... I even wonder if the white-eyed wolf who attacked me was also recently driven here to protect the ghost flower?Otherwise, if there were wolves infested near the ancestral hall of the royal family, and the people and animals in our nearby village, wouldn't they have already suffered?
