The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 9 Killing Ghosts

At noon, the sun was scorching.

On the only official road leading to Xinkang Town, the crowd in twos and threes was no longer as dense as it was in the morning.

At this moment, most of the people who went to the market from Shili Baxiang to Xinkang Town have already sold a lot of things.

The few villagers who came late and failed to grab a seat also set up a small stall outside the market, planning to sell as much as they could.

"So, at this point, you are the only ones hanging around outside, don't you think it's conspicuous?"

Stopping in front of a family of three, I saw Pei Wende wiping the dog's leg knife with a cloth stained with black dog blood, while looking at their bewildered expressions.

Because the family of three being intercepted by Pei Wende at this moment is none other than the trio who were referred to as "ghosts" by the ghost Ma Zheng in the morning.

The elderly, women, and a half-sized child...

This is a standard "old, weak, sick and disabled" combination, and it is also the standard equipment for most villagers who come to Xinkang Town to go to the market.

During this season, the young and middle-aged laborers in the family usually work in the fields, and only those old and weak women and children who cannot go to the fields will bring surplus supplies to the market to exchange for daily necessities.

"Young man, who is this?"

First, he gave the women and children next to him a wink, signaling them not to act rashly for the time being, then the old man walked to a place a few meters away from Pei Wende, cupped his hands and asked.

"Look, here's another opening."

Not at all aware that he was looking for trouble with a group of ghosts, only to see Pei Wende gently shake the dog-leg knife in his hand, and suddenly shouted in a cold voice.

"When you saw a man blocking the way with a knife, your first reaction was not to beg for mercy, but to ask me why I was blocking the way?"

"What does this mean?"

"This only shows that you are not afraid of me, not a man who dares to block the road and rob."

Having said that, Pei Wende's tone paused for a moment, and his eyes subconsciously began to look at the old man.

"See if you have any flesh on your body. I really can't think of any other than monsters, how dare you not be afraid of a strong man with a knife."

Although Pei Wende is only 16 years old this year, the experience of living in the ancient temples in the mountains all the year round has given him a strong physique far beyond ordinary people, and he doesn't care about ordinary tigers, leopards and wolves at all.

Even the legendary ghosts, in Pei Wende's eyes, are just beasts and aliens with special abilities.

At the very least, these ghosts are just a bit more powerful than ordinary people, and they are hideous ghosts, and they can't scare Pei Wende away at all.

"It's been a long time since I saw such an arrogant guy..."

Just when the old man was about to continue talking, the ghost disguised as a child behind him couldn't help interrupting the conversation between this person and the ghost.

"Since you know that we are not human, and you dare to rob our way, it seems that you are either crazy or a fool."

"No, I just have confidence in myself."

What Pei Wende said was the truth. Before meeting Ma Zheng, he had never had a clear understanding of real ghosts.

But after killing a ghost with his own hands, Pei Wende found that these ghosts were not as difficult to deal with as he imagined.

As long as it's not those fierce ghosts with strong resentment and invisible come and go in previous life movies, these ghosts with entities can be killed by normal means.

If I really want to make an inappropriate metaphor, these ghosts who specialize in abducting human beings are actually more like existences such as zombies and walking corpses, which are their own vital points and weaknesses.

The only thing that puzzled Pei Wende was why these ghosts could walk freely under the sun, and they were not afraid of the sun like other ghosts.

"I remember you, are you the young man who was taken away by Ma Zheng in the morning?"

"It seems that that idiot Ma Zheng missed, and it seems to have given you the illusion that you can fight us?"

With suppressed indescribable anger in his tone, the old man who seemed to have some conflicts with Ma Zheng finally stopped covering up and asked straight to the point.

"Yes, I do think so."

Nodding clearly, Pei Wende at this moment finally confirmed his previous guess.

The reason why Ma Zheng deceived himself away from the Dao was probably not only because he wanted to eat "single food", but also because he was originally with the family of three.

If Pei Wende guessed correctly, the family of three must have adopted the same argument as Ma Zheng when they met someone who could be deceived, and identified the other party as a ghost.

In other words, Ma Zheng and the family of three actually belong to the same evil ghost, and there is a certain sense of "healthy competition" among them.

To put it simply, if Wen Wende wants to find the tiger behind the scenes of these ghosts, he has found the right "ghost" by finding this family of three.

"But it's a little different from what I imagined. You don't seem to be afraid of black blood?"

Shaking the blood stains on his dog's leg knife, Pei Wende didn't think that the three ghosts opposite him couldn't recognize the black dog's blood.

So this can only explain one point, just like this group of ghosts are not afraid of the sun, the black dog blood, which is said to be extremely lethal to evil spirits, seems to have no effect on them.

"Black dog blood? We are different from ordinary evil spirits..."

Seeing that his two companions gave up their disguise, the last female ghost who did not speak also spoke.

With a blue face, fangs, and a ferocious face, she slowly raised her head, the bloodthirsty and bloody aura in her eyes made Pei Wende frown even if she was a few feet away.

Su!
In the next second, the old man, woman, and child showed ferocious faces at the same time, and then rushed towards Pei Wende in front.

With the explosive power and speed shown by this group of ghosts, within two seconds, they can pounce on Pei Wende's body, and then tear him into countless pieces.

"A group of ignorant silly old hats, do you think I will play close combat with you?!"

Seeing this situation, Pei Wende, who had been playing with the dog's leg knife and giving the ghosts the illusion of "I want to fight with you in close combat", decisively pulled away, and picked up the compound bow hidden under his clothes.

collapse!
Winding, drawing the bow, and shooting arrows are done in one go, and the powerful potential energy is completely transformed into extremely destructive kinetic energy in an instant.

The old man who rushed to the front had no time to react, and was pierced through the head by Pei Wende's arrow, and fell out at a faster speed than before.

collapse!
Another arrow followed closely behind, and the child, who was only one step away from Pei Wende, also failed to react, and flew a little farther than the old man even with the arrow.

However, the super-speed shooting of two consecutive arrows was already Pei Wende's limit.

Moreover, the parts of the compound bow itself seemed to have suffered some kind of damage during the two shots, and it was unable to shoot the third arrow at the female ghost who was close at hand in a short period of time.

The balance of victory has tilted towards the only remaining female ghosts.
