Chapter 161 Glutinous Rice
I was not sure what was going on, so I blew out the candle in one gulp and said, "Then this process will be omitted, and we will invite incense directly." Dang even lit a stick of incense.The smell of the incense is very good, inhaled into the lungs, refreshing, and refreshing.Everyone's eyes were fixed on the white smoke rising from the incense, and after watching for a while, they didn't feel anything unusual.

Could it be that the ghost panting failed, and even asking for incense is useless?
Ah Ying shrunk her body and said, "I think of that person before, he seems to be a foreigner. Could it be that foreign ghosts don't like to be popular?"

Tofu said: "What do you eat if you don't like it? Eat poop? I can't pull it out right now."

Carp said: "Don't be disrespectful to ghosts and gods, in case you get angry..."

Tofu said: "What are you afraid of? Now that it doesn't let us go down, it's obviously going to be bad for us. Do we still want to flatter it slavishly? Am I the kind of person who bends his waist for five buckets of rice?" At a time like this, I didn't bother to expose the fact that he used to bend over for a box of instant noodles, but thought about the reason.

At the moment of our discussion, Ah Ying suddenly pointed to the incense in my hand and said, "Look...the smoke has become straight." I raised my head, turned my gaze, and my heart skipped a beat. The smoke seemed to have condensed into a thread at this moment, drifting towards my left.I was stunned for a moment, because the side of the boat was just to my left, and the carp was sitting on the side of the boat. For a while, everyone's eyes focused on the carp.

He was anxious, moved uncomfortably, swallowed, and quickly moved his position. However, an even weirder scene happened. As the carp moved, the condensed smoke also turned around. Almost wherever the carp goes, the smoke follows.Tofu gasped, lowered his voice and said, "That thing must have carp attached."

I nodded slightly, without saying a word, fixed my eyes on the carp, and calmly took out a handful of glutinous rice from the equipment bag.The so-called post is a folk saying that ghosts like to hide behind people, because the front of people is yang, and the back is yin, and things like ghosts will feel safe hiding behind people.

Carp was also frightened and didn't even dare to turn his head. Although we couldn't see what was behind him, it definitely existed.In this instant, I threw out a handful of glutinous rice in my hand. This is the first time I have done this. It is not known whether the sayings of glutinous rice pulling out poisonous corpses and spreading ghosts are effective or not. Now that things have come to an end, he can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

After throwing out a handful of glutinous rice, Carp closed his eyes subconsciously. At the moment he closed his eyes, a white foreigner's face suddenly appeared behind him. The glutinous rice passed through that face, just like Like a knife, that pale face instantly seemed disfigured and became extremely distorted.

Before everyone was terrified, the face disappeared again, and it took only a second to show up. At this moment, the incense in my hand, the original red light spot, went out all of a sudden, as if it was cut off instantly. Like air.

My heart skipped a beat, the secret feeling was not good, and the next moment I felt a sudden cool wind blowing from the back of my neck, as if someone was blowing air on my neck with his mouth, the cold feeling made my skin crawl.I didn't know it well, so I immediately rolled forward, and when I turned around again, I heard Ah Ying yelled, pointed at me and said, "Still behind you..." The expressions of the rest of the people also seemed to see Ghostly.

Damn it, that foreign devil still clings to me?
Tofu reacted quickly. He took out the black cloth bag containing glutinous rice and threw it at me one by one.

After sprinkling it twice, Tofu suddenly shouted: "Fuck! No more rice! Perverted Chen, you were so active when you put the condom in your fucking pocket. Why are you so short on serious things?"

I said: "Who knew that this would happen, I would have carried a bag on my back if I knew it." As soon as the words fell, I felt a chill in my vest, as if a cold hand was stuck to my skin. The chill passed through the skin and reached the internal organs, instantly making me feel breathless.In desperation, Tofu suddenly didn't know which tendon was wrong, and cursed: "The only fucking ghost can breathe, right! I can too!" After speaking, I greeted a group of old men to breathe out behind me.

What a living person spits out is yang energy. There is a saying that people are [-]% afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are [-]% afraid of people. What they are afraid of is human yang energy.For some reason, Tofu came up with such a trick, and everyone was in a hurry to go to the doctor. Six or seven old men exhaled at me at the same time, and the smell almost killed people.

I was so stunned, my eyes were turned white by the smoke, and when I subconsciously held my breath, the faintly visible palm on my back was pulled away at once, and the hot blood in my body was like a flood that opened the gate, washing away the cold air in an instant The overflowing internal organs warmed up the whole person from the inside out.

Tofu breathed a sigh of relief, and then he couldn't hide his complacency, but deliberately put on a serious face, and said, "Don't thank me, it's all thanks to the big guy."

I was also afraid for a while, but this time I didn't attack Tofu, but praised him for his cleverness from the bottom of my heart. Although this trick is really disgusting, it's enough if it works.Everyone immediately gathered together tightly in one place, trying to defeat the opponent with the advantage of numbers.There is a common phenomenon in many places, that is, schools like to build on cemeteries.

Because of the population expansion, there are more schools and houses, which naturally grab the land of the dead.

It's just that households generally don't buy the land of the dead and the places that have been repaired. Firstly, it feels unlucky, and secondly, some weirdness is always prone to happen.Generally, such places are finally built into schools, because the children's yang energy is strong, and the school has a large number of people, so it becomes more and more prosperous. Only in this way can the yin energy of the cemetery be suppressed.There is also a saying that the students who study are all disciples of the sage Confucius, and they are protected by the sage, and lonely ghosts dare not disturb them.

Most of the older schools, if you do some background research, it is likely that the original site was once a cemetery.

Everyone got together back to back, and there really wasn't any weirdness anymore, but it didn't work to just stay like this, but I saw the ship, a ghost lamp, dangling on the dark sea, heading for the opposite position to our previous plan.Our ship was gone and we suffered heavy losses, so our plan was to go back to Bohai Bay and start over from scratch, but who knew that after boarding this ship, instead of going to Bohai Bay, it kept heading south, as if running in the opposite direction.

Ah Ying asked fearfully: "You said, will we be trapped on this boat forever?"

Tofu said: "No, trust me."

A Ying raised a glimmer of hope, and said, "Brother Dou, do you have any ideas? Tell everyone quickly, our staff can come up with an idea."

Tofu said: "I have no idea, but we won't be trapped for too long. First, there is no food and water on board, and we will starve to death in a short time. Second, I heard that the USO only appears at night. As soon as the sun rises, they will disappear, and everyone who went to the USO will also disappear together in the end... As for where those people who disappeared have gone, maybe we will know when the sun rises."

Ah Ying is an expert at sea, and she is quite courageous on weekdays, but the little girl is afraid of ghosts, how could she bear the stimulation of tofu, she almost cried, and could not utter a word.

Although I secretly scolded Tofu for scaring the little girl, it really shouldn't be, but what he said is the truth. Food and water are obvious problems. As for the USO disappearing with people and boats at dawn, I have also heard of it , so it is not tofu alarmist.

Professor Lin said: "We must think of a way to get out before dawn."

Gu Wenmin worried: "I can't jump out of the sea, what should I do?" Just when everyone was at a loss, we suddenly heard a familiar voice, the sound of a whale salamander.

Tofu couldn't help lying on the side of the boat and looking down, and said, "Xiao Hei is still following us." Regarding his practice of treating whales as private pets and naming them, I am too lazy to tell him. I looked down and saw the humpback whale Sure enough, he still followed us.

When we boarded the boat before, we saw it circle around the boat and thought it was happy for us, but now it seems that it is clearly a warning.A whale rarely makes a sound in its life. The first time we heard its call was when it was trapped by a cannibal, and now it started to call again and tried to hit the ship with its body.

When Tofu saw it, he was so moved that he almost shed tears, and said, "It must be trying to capsize the boat and save us."

Gu Wenmin also had red eyes, and said: "If you hit it like this again, it will get hurt."

Professor Lin said: "A solution, we must come up with a solution as soon as possible, how to do it..." He muttered to himself, everyone on the boat looked at each other, listening to the sound of the humpback whale and the thumping sound of hitting the ship, they felt as if they were blocked. It was as heavy as a piece of lead.

My brain was running at high speed, and I thought that everyone was trapped on this USO and couldn't get out. Could it be related to that foreign devil?But we are not Taoists who subdue demons and catch ghosts, how should we subdue it?
I suddenly remembered a kind of sorcery: human face sacrifice.

This is a kind of sorcery that I accidentally saw when I was looking for shaman information.The specific method requires a woman to draw a knife from the center of the face to the chin, and the blood that flows out is called 'face blood'.Women belong to the yin genus, and the blood on this person's face is very favored by lonely souls and wild ghosts. If there are stolen goods around, they will look for the smell and absorb it in the blood.Once the ghosts are absorbed, the blood stains will be red and black. At this time, you only need to prepare a bowl of boiling water and pour it on the wound, or use a burning stick to draw along the wound, and the adsorbed blood will be removed. Evil kills.

This method was spread in the western part of Henan in ancient times. Once something strange happened to the evil spirits, it would be thought to be ghosts, and an expert would be invited to do it.As for the woman who was used as a human face sacrifice, not to mention the disfigurement, the process was also very painful.

I don't know why I suddenly thought of this, maybe it's the dark side in my heart that is at work, the longer the curse of the ghost face drags on, the more bad roots in human nature will be induced.When I thought of this human face sacrifice, I just remembered what Tofu said when he comforted me, and it was like enlightenment in an instant, my whole body was cold, and I quickly shook my head to get rid of these messy thoughts.
