The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 122 Beauty Face
This beautiful face is not really a beautiful face, but people are afraid of it and gave it a nice name.

In fact, this is a kind of ghost.The so-called ghosts are ghosts that can live in the human world.

Ghosts are creatures of the underworld. Even if they enter and exit the underworld, it is like an American who travels to China on a business trip and still has to go back after wandering around.Ghosts cannot survive long in the world of the sun.But Ming Gui is different.Ming ghost is the transformation of the heavenly soul among the three human souls that remains in the human world.This is not caused by random ghosts being able to leave a soul behind.

Ming ghosts are people who know Maoshan Taoism, and they are cultivated by extremely high-level people, and they are cultivated by a ghost-raising technique.

In fact, it is also said that witchcraft originated from Maoshan Taoism.Just like the head-bending technique also originated from witchcraft.The apprentices brought out by a master, because of the differences in their talents and conducts, gave birth to different veins by mistake and became a new branch.

It is not an easy process to develop such a wise ghost.There are three life lamps on a person's body, representing the three souls of a person.There are two on the shoulders, and the third is on the top of the person's head.If the life lamp goes out, that person is dead.Children like Xia Xiangxi, who grew up in the countryside since childhood, can hear adults telling children that when walking at night, if you feel someone patting your shoulder, you must not turn your head. Will extinguish the life lamp on the body several times.Of course, when you turn back three times, the light will go off. At that time, you can’t turn back even if you want to, because you are already a dead person.

When the person is about to run out of oil and the lamp is dry, the life lamp will also become weak. On the contrary, if the person is strong and strong, the three life lamps will be extraordinarily bright.

If you want to raise a bright ghost, you have to remove the wick of the life lamp above your head when you are at your healthiest. This is not something ordinary people can do.The lamp of life is the soul of a person. It is easy to extinguish it with magic, sorcery, and ghosts, but it is definitely not an easy task to take it away from that person and prevent it from being extinguished.

After taking the life lamp representing the soul of the sky from the top of the person's head, put it on the head of a puppet with the owner's name written on it.Then use Taoism to take care of Qiqi for 49 days.At this time, if the life lamp on the shoulder of the owner is extinguished, the owner will die in Huangquan, but the life lamp representing the soul of heaven will remain in the world forever, and even the Lord of the Underworld will not know it, and the Jade Emperor will also interfere. A living ghost who can't touch is also a bright ghost.Such ghosts are tangible.Most people use Ming ghosts to guard the tomb to prevent those grave robbers from robbing the tomb.A powerful Ming ghost can kill tomb robbers in the tomb.Such a beautiful face was harmless to people at the time, but its harmful consequences were the cruelest of all ghosts.

It is the same to raise ghosts in Minggui and head-down techniques.However, the nature of the difference.In the head-down technique, people raise real ghosts and drive that little ghost to help them do things that humans cannot do, or to harm others.And Ming ghosts are raised by the dead, that is, ghosts can be raised in the world of living things that can move.It is different from the purpose of raising little ghosts in the head-down technique.The technique of lowering the head is that raising a kid is purposeful, targeted, and most of the initiative is harmful.Most of the ghost breeders protect the owner of the tomb from those greedy people. If you don’t provoke it, it won’t harm you at all. If it is a bright weapon, then it will harm you passively.

Grandpa once met a man who robbed tombs for a living. That man was called Wang Bao. Wang Bao's grandfather was a subordinate of Sun Dianying, who was famous for leading an army to steal Dongling.It is said that that person's grandfather was responsible for stealing the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty.Because he tasted the sweetness of tomb robbery, he abandoned his army and returned to the fields, and started tomb robbery from generation to generation.

As the saying goes, "A horse stumbles, and a man stumbles." In Wang Bao's generation, the skills of tomb robbers have also developed extremely superbly. He only needs to smell the tomb soil to know whether there is any treasure worth stealing in that tomb.However, after he stole an ancient tomb of the Zhou Dynasty, he found a sarcoma on his body, which could grow to the size of a baby's face in an instant, because it was in a very standard oval shape, which is an ancient Chinese sentence The best beauty face that has been handed down, or because of this reason, it is called a beauty face. There is no way to investigate these, because grandpa has seen such names in some ancient books, and it is just a continuation of the ancients' name for ghosts.

Different from real little ghosts, this kind of bright ghost is like that kind of turtle, which grows on the body of the tomb owner. As long as it encounters a living thing, it will start to suck human blood continuously, and then grow up rapidly.Not only can the parasitic person be sucked to death by sucking blood, but also spread a kind of corpse fungus, as long as anyone who has been in contact with the parasitized beauty-faced person will be infected with that kind of corpse fungus, within a few days The whole body festers and dies. After the person dies, the corpse bacteria will mix into the water when it encounters water, and gestate into the soil when it encounters soil, spreading out like a raging plague.As long as people touch it, there will be no bones left.

Ancient books once recorded that tomb robbery was rampant in a certain place in Henan in the early Ming Dynasty, and then an inexplicable plague spread for hundreds of kilometers, and hundreds of thousands of people died tragically in that plague.Later, Liu Bowen, the national teacher at that time, found the real cause of the great plague, which was the terrible beauty face.

Grandpa found out that Wang Bao actually got that terrifying "beautiful face". Grandpa, who had seen many ghost formations at that time, was also terrified like never before.He knew the dire consequences.I just told Wang Bao that if you want to save your life, you must return all the stolen artifacts, and then grandpa will help you communicate with the tomb owner to plead guilty, so that the tomb owner can take back the beautiful face. Wang Bao is definitely not alone, it may be hundreds to thousands of local people, or tens of thousands of people.

Wang Bao, the tomb robber, is actually half an expert who knows alchemy.When robbing tombs, you often have to deal with tomb ghosts and zombies.He had also heard of beautiful faces, but he never thought he would meet them.It's finally come to an end. Compared with money and life, most people will still choose the latter.Wang Bao stole all the artifacts and recalled them all. He went to the stolen ancient tomb with his grandfather and returned the things. When his grandfather communicated with the tomb owner, the tomb owner refused to forgive Wang Bao. He was so stunned that he fell to his knees and couldn't get up, like several wild ghosts haunting him.If Grandpa hadn't obtained a treasure before, and that treasure saved Grandpa, Grandpa might not be able to get out of that grave, and was buried with Wang Bao in it.

When grandpa talked about that incident later, it was not as easy as talking about the general story of catching ghosts and descending demons. It was still like a nightmare that did not wake up, and the color changed when he talked about it.At that time, Xia Xiangxi could understand the dangers his grandfather had experienced.

Now seeing the beautiful faces on the two of Loach's companions, she was more frightened than seeing the bigger zombies.

I told everyone about this. Yami is from the Miao nationality, so I don't know what a beautiful face is, but when Niqiu heard Xia Xiangxi say this name, the burly man collapsed on the ground with a "plop". I was so scared that I peed my pants.

"What a god... I... miscellaneous... hit the treasure?" Niach was so frightened that his face was bloodless, like a ghost.

This "strike treasure" is a colloquial term of some grave robbers, which means to hit evil spirits.Because the Chinese believe that when you are unlucky, you can’t say more unlucky things. For example, if you lose money today, you will say that you have lost money when you meet someone, and you will always feel unhappy. Even worse things could happen.People don't often say that they meet unlucky ghosts. There is indeed a kind of ghost that likes to haunt people with low luck. The unhappy and depressed you are, the lower your luck. That layer of bad luck on you.

Today's Chinese no longer value tradition. When Xia Xiangxi was still a child, he was taboo to throw things when he entered the Twelfth Moon Gate, especially after the twelfth lunar month.If you accidentally break something, you should quickly say "Sailing every year", such auspicious words, to sweep away the bad luck.

Also, for example, if there was a fire in the ancient palace, it was taboo to say that there was a fire, but it was said to be "water".

If those tomb robbers encounter unlucky things while robbing tombs, they are already in the haunted den. If they talk about unlucky things and shout about low luck, then just wait!Worse things will happen one after another.So later the tomb robbers developed such a mantra of "hitting treasure".

In front of him, Xia Xiangxi saw Nixiu's frightened half-dead look, and knew that he must understand what his two brothers had provoked!
