The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 125 [125] Midnight Horror

Although in folklore, ghosts have no shadows.

But that's just a legend, not true.

In this dream, Jia Qiang is a time traveler.

He traveled to the Dragon Kingdom in this parallel world 17 years ago.

This world is similar to the previous life, but there is a difference.

That is ghosts.

Only a ghost master can deal with ghosts.

The so-called ghost masters are a group of people who can control ghosts.

It can also be understood as a person who has parasitic ghosts in his body.

It's a pity that Jia Qiang is not a ghost master, but a celestial burial master.Like ordinary people, when facing ghosts, there is basically only one dead end.

When Jia Qiang was young, his parents disappeared, and he was brought up by his grandfather.

Grandpa is a monk who has returned to the secular world. In order to support his family, he became a celestial burial master.

After his grandfather died, Jia Qiang inherited his career.

Since my grandfather has no other real estate, Jia Qiang lives in this funeral shop.

When he was a child, he heard his grandfather talk about some taboos about celestial burial masters.

Grandpa once told him a story about a ghost claiming his life at midnight.

And this morning, he really encountered a ghost!
Therefore, he didn't dare to sleep tonight, holding the Tibetan knife and stone ax tightly in his hand, hoping to survive past midnight.

Although this Tibetan knife and stone ax were used to dismember the corpse during the sky burial, there should be a sinister aura on it.

But Jia Qiang estimated that these two sharp weapons would most likely not be able to deal with Li Gui.

Because if Li Gui was afraid of these two sharp weapons, he wouldn't have followed him this morning.

"I'm only 20 years old, I haven't lived enough"

Jia Qiang sighed, feeling both scared and unwilling.

Suddenly, an indifferent and ethereal voice sounded in his mind:
"It is detected that the host is facing a life-and-death disaster, and the sky burial system is urgently bound."

Jia Qiang was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, after traveling to this world for 17 years, she was finally bound to the system.

Just listen to the sound of the system continuing to ring:
"This system can help the host exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, rebuild the underworld, and control yin and yang."

"A special gift package for newcomers to the host: Soul Ecstasy Pen.

When the host obtains the Book of Life and Death, the Ecstasy Pen can evolve into a Judge Pen.

At present, the host can use the ecstasy pen to smear the eyes of animals and turn them into soldiers of the underworld.

The current maximum number of animals that can be enchanted: 2.

You can also draw a Thangka image of the Yin God of the underworld on the shroud with a ecstasy pen, so that the Yin God can appear and be used by yourself.

The current upper limit of the number of yin gods that can be drawn: 2
Is it enabled? "

Jia Qiang's eyes lit up, and she quickly said silently: "Open!"

In the blink of an eye, a seemingly ordinary brush appeared in the heart of his right hand.

At the same time, a white tray appeared on the palm of his left hand.

There are dozens of grids on the tray, and each grid is filled with ink of different colors.

Jia Qiang frowned, using only this writing brush, can it stop the ghost?
He turned his head and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, and immediately gasped.

Now it's less than 2 minutes until midnight!

If Li Gui came to claim his life at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the time left for him was very tight!
How to do?
"Moo-"

Suddenly, a cow blew outside the house.

Jia Qiang suddenly remembered that the system said just now that animals can be enchanted to become soldiers of the underworld with a ecstasy pen.

In the yard outside, he kept a yak and a Tibetan horse.

"Click, click, click."

There was a dead silence in the room, and when the hands on the clock were turning, they made a series of clicking sounds, hitting Jia Qiang's heart like a note of death.

Seeing that the pointer is getting closer and closer to midnight!
Jia Qiang took a deep breath, boldly opened the door, and rushed towards the yak against the biting cold wind.

The bitter cold wind blew like a knife, and Jia Qiang rushed to the cow pen like crazy.

Under the pale moonlight, he found that the yaks were a little restless tonight, and their eyes were fixed on the snow outside the courtyard.

It seems that something terrible is approaching.

I don't know what it is looking at?
But tonight's moonlight is very dim, and I can't see anything more than ten meters away in the thick darkness like ink.

Jia Qiang shuddered, hurriedly dipped some black ink with a brush, and quickly poked it on the two bull's eyes.

Yak was caught off guard, but closed his eyes reflexively.

The ink was all on its eyelids.

Seeing that the yak didn't respond, Jia Qiang's heart sank, so she turned around and rushed to the opposite stable.

The strange thing is that the Tibetan horse didn't sleep tonight, but snorted, moved its hoofs non-stop, and stared at the courtyard door, as if it was facing an enemy.

Jia Qiang didn't have time to think about it, so she rushed to it and wiped the two horse's eyes with a brush.

Kurama also subconsciously closed his eyes.

Black ink was all over its eyelids.

However, this Tibetan horse did not show any changes.

Didn't the system say that animals can be turned into generals of the underworld?

Could it be that my method of operation is wrong?
"Cha, cha, cha"

In the darkness outside the courtyard, there was a faint sound of footsteps on the snow.

Jia Qiang's heart was beating wildly, she simply dipped some green ink and smeared it on Zang Ma's eyelids.

But Zangma remained unchanged.

"Cha, cha, cha"

The footsteps outside the courtyard door are getting louder and louder, which means that the other party is getting closer and closer to him!

Jia Qiang turned her head to look, her heart skipped a beat.

I saw a pair of blood-red eyes shaking slightly in the darkness more than ten meters away!

Is that a ghost? !

Jia Qiang's scalp exploded, and her hair stood on end. With trembling hands, she dipped some red ink and wiped it on Zang Ma's eyelids.

However, there is still no response from Kurama!

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the darkness outside the courtyard door was slowly approaching like a tide, and the blood-red eyes became more and more clear, and a mouth full of fangs appeared under the eyes.

Dark red blood oozes from between its teeth, exhaling a sinister aura of tyranny and malice.

Jia Qiang's teeth chattered, her whole body trembled, and the brush in her hand almost fell to the ground in fright.

Seeing that his life was hanging by a thread, he gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and rushed to the opposite yak,

Use a brush dipped in various colors of ink, and daub it on the bull's eye.

At the same time, the darkness outside the courtyard door flooded in like a tide, and within a few breaths it had already invaded the courtyard.

"Jie Jie Jie-"

A hoarse grin came from the darkness.

The laughter was like the sharp friction of a knife on the glass, which made Jia Qiang instantly get goosebumps all over her body.

He wanted to flee back to the house, but his legs were already limp like noodles, his calves were shaking, and he couldn't even take a step.

"Cha, cha, cha!"

The footsteps stopped abruptly, and they stopped at Jia Qiang's left side.

"Crackling, knocking, knocking."

Jia Qiang held her breath, twisted her stiff neck with difficulty, and turned her head to look to the left amidst the crisp sound of cervical joint friction.

"Ah? Ah-"

A shrill and desperate scream pierced the night sky.
