Chapter 18

Ghosts travel at night, they like to hit walls to trap people, and they can detect ghosts at night, so they can cover their eyes and play games.

At midnight, if you get lost at an intersection, it is because of ghosts and ghosts, and there are ghosts hitting the wall; to break this method, sit cross-legged on the ground, and set up a formation to drive away ghosts; set a piece of yellow paper, put three sticks of incense sticks, recite and practice the mantra, and clear away the ghosts. The pen-drawing talisman invites the ghosts to help; when the incense candles are extinguished, the ghosts will come, and the ghosts will cover their eyes and walk in circles around the spot. Break its ghosts and get lost. ——Excerpted from Tongyin Eight Volumes of "Wordless Book of Heaven".

……

Bai Shibao covered the wound on his arm, sweating profusely from the pain, thick black blood seeped from the ulcerated part of his arm, and there were tiny larvae wriggling in the blood, like ant maggots, which was extremely terrifying.

"I threw an ant mother Gu in your shoe. After stepping on this kind of Gu, the ants will burrow into the soles of your feet, climb on the flesh and crawl around in your body, gnaw on the bones and eat the meat. If you don't take it out in time, you will die." It will give birth to a baby in the body!" Lan Xin'er's voice buzzed in the water tank.

Bai Shibao took out willow leaves from his bosom, chewed them up and applied them on his eyes, seeing Lan Xin'er's ghost jumping out of the water tank, walking around, with a strange smile on his face.

"I gave up my life to save you, why do you want to hurt me?" Bai Shibao said with an angry face, one hand reached into his bosom to take out the 'Zhong Kui Suppressing Ghost Talisman'.

"I'm not afraid of [-], just in case, if you don't want to take me to Miaojiang to find my body, wouldn't I become a lonely ghost?"

Seeing Bai Shibao's gloomy face, Lan Xin'er was obviously angry, smiled again, turned around and said, "You know, snake Gu is a kind of insect Gu, since I am a master at refining snake Gu, how can I refine other Insect Gu is also a piece of cake for me, if you refuse to help me, I will ask this ant mother to lay tens of thousands of little ants in your body and gnaw you into bones..."

Bai Shibao thought to himself that Lan Xin'er looks pretty and beautiful, but inside he is like a snake gu, sinister and vicious. "Okay! Since you cast a Gu on me, I'll use the spell to disperse your ghosts and make a bet to see who is the best!" Bai Shibao took out the 'Zhong Kui Ghost Suppressing Talisman' slowly towards Lan Xin'er's back while thinking. Stick it on your back.

sizzling...

The black snake came out of Lan Xin'er's cuff, coiled around Lan Xin'er's shoulder, opened its mouth wide, spat out the message, stared at Bai Shibao viciously, and protected its master with fangs like poisonous needles. Let Bai Shibao approach half an inch.

Bai Shibao panicked, and hastily withdrew his hand. If he had been too slow just now, he might have died in the mouth of the black snake like a ghost.Bai Shibao complained again and again, and thought to himself: "With this black snake protecting me, how should I attack?"

"Have you figured it out? This mother ant gu needs to be fed every hour. If you slow down, you won't even have to think about it when the insect gu enters your brain and eats your brain!" Lan Xin'er turned around. came, stared at Bai Shibao and said.

Bai Shibao hastily put his hands behind his back, put the charm in his cuffs, pretended to be thinking, and said, "However, Miaojiang is too far away, and it will cost a lot to travel all the way."

"You don't have to worry about it, I'll just pay you back with interest when we get to Miaojiang," Lan Xin'er said.

Bai Shibao thought to himself that now that she has the black snake to protect her, he can't take her. The master has already been buried, so he might as well go to Miaojiang with her. Going out to experience is worse than spending a lifetime in the capital.

Second, Blind Zhang once warned Commander Xu not to spread the news about the walking corpse, but now it is spreading all over the city for some unknown reason. Just like Lan Xin'er went to Miaojiang to hide for a while, and he could also make some money.

But there is another point, Lan Xin'er is a villain at heart, with insidious Gu skills, and she is like a tiger accompanying her, if I don't help her return to the sun by then, if she fails to protect her body and then give me some Gu, wouldn't I die a miserable death?Bai Shibao thought wildly, and after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to take a risky move, to help Lan Xin'er go to Miao Jiang to find the body, but he had to get rid of the insect Gu on this body first.

"If you remove the voodoo from my body, I promise you!"

When Lan Xin'er heard Bai Shibao's words, she was overjoyed and said, "The refining method of this Ant Gu is extremely complicated. First, kill a hen, open its belly, and bury it near the ant cave. After seven days, dig the soil. Dig out the hen, there will be countless ants hidden under the hen's wings, choose the largest ant mother with a flat body and a black and yellow head as body training, put it in a jar, add some blood black and human earwax, and use it regularly Fragrant and roasted, after opening the jar, there will be the last and most vicious ant mother left, this Gu is refined!"

"I don't ask you to refine the method of dispelling Gu..." Bai Shibao sighed.

Lan Xin'er said: "Think about it, the method of refining Gu is so complicated, how can the solution be so easy!"

The wound on Bai Shibao's arm was itchy again. It felt like countless ants were crawling and biting on his arm, and he shouted anxiously: "Tell me how to detoxify, or you won't be able to recover if I die. Positive!"

"Grind the egg shells into powder, and just put it on!" Lan Xin'er laughed.

"It's... so simple?"

"Egg shells contain calcium acid, which can restrain formic acid and slow down blood poisoning. You need to apply it once a day, and it will get better in eleven days."

"..." Bai Shibao was in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Gu art is quite prevalent in the area of ​​Miaojiang. Those who suffer from Gu are usually killed or tortured to death for no reason.In addition, most of the Gu practitioners are women, and the locals call them Gu Po, and keep them at a respectful distance. This kind of spell of training insects and refining Gu is passed down as a taboo witchcraft.

According to legend, an expert who practiced Taoism and wandered around, got a Gu technique in Miaojiang, and almost died. He escaped by luck. There is only one family of witchcraft in Xinjiang, and all Taoism and Shenzong are under it, which shows the power of voodoo.

……

After packing his bags, Bai Shibao enshrined the Taoist Patriarch and the Yinzun King Tablet at home, closed the door and locked it, and bought a poor horse for ten silver dollars in the city, put his bags on the horse's back, and prepared to ride to the Miao border in southern Sichuan.

"Where did you tell me to hide? You shouldn't take this water tank with you on the road, right?" Lan Xin'er's ghost poked her head out of the water tank and asked Bai Shibao.

"You can't be attached to me, can you? Besides the water tank, what else can you be attached to?" Bai Shibao asked.

"Bottles and cans, any place with a bottom and an opening!" Lan Xin'er said.

Bai Shibao rummaged through the room, saw an empty wine jug lying upside down on the edge of the kang, thought it was the jug used to pour spirits when drinking with Master last time, copied it in his hand and turned it over to look, happily said: " Keep your mouth shut..."

Lan Xin'er's ghost jumped into the jug with a bang, and then came out of the jug with a bang in an instant, blushing and shouting: "This wine is too strong, it's hard to breathe!" Spicy throat!"

"There is only such a wine jug in the house to hide in. Although the smell of wine is heavy, it is much less poisonous than the sun!" Bai Shibao thought that it was her turn to suffer this time.

Lan Xin'er pinched her nose helplessly, and got into the jug.

Bai Shibao retaliated by shaking the jug vigorously with his hands, and then put it in his arms.

Bai Shibao looked at the locked courtyard door, and remembered that he had spent so many years wasted here, and now it was time to say goodbye.

Turning over and straddling the horse, patting the horse's back, copying the dirt road, and galloping all night.

Bai Shibao usually trembles while riding a donkey, how could he know how to ride a horse, now he is running wildly, it is because Lan Xin'er fed the horse and ate the worm, the horse was trained by the worm, became very docile, obediently carried Bai Shibao, The footsteps are stable, not daring to have the slightest bump.

One day later, Bai Shibao arrived in Hebei.

After traveling all the way, Ma Ma's legs were weak and tired, and Bai Shibao was also so tired that his back ached. After leaning over and dismounting, he sat on the ground and looked up at the full moon. Feeling hungry, he took out dry food from his bosom to eat.

"Strange? She's so talkative, why didn't she make any sound along the way?"

Bai Shibao took out the wine jug, and peered inside with his glasses at the mouth of the jug.

Bang!
With a sound, Lan Xin'er got out of the jug, stood still in a daze, looked at the sky, then at Bai Shibao, smiled happily on her red face, and then fell to the ground, Pouting his lips, he said, "After being smoked by the smell of wine in this pot for a whole day, it made me dizzy..."

Bai Shibao knew that it was Lan Xin'er who came out of the jug, but he couldn't see her ghost, so he hurriedly chewed the willow leaves, wiped his eyes with the meat juice, and saw Lan Xin'er lying on the ground, her face flushed, rubbing her hands dizzily. Head, suddenly laughed and said: "I really don't know what it looks like when a ghost is drunk!"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Shibao suddenly heard a voice coming from a distance. Bai Shibao was afraid that he would encounter officers and soldiers patrolling, and if he saw the braid on his head, why not cut it off?Hastily pulled the poor horse to hide in a dark place, held his breath, and tilted his head to peep.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, the conversation between the two came over.

"Our two brothers are lucky, we were released to find someone to vote for us."

"Qian can use magic to conquer ghosts. If my family hadn't burned money to buy ghost messengers, we would have been killed on the Yin Cao Beiyin Mountain!" Another person said.

"By the way, where are we going?"

"I heard that the former village king was widowed and his wife stole someone. She was pregnant with a seed. If people found out, she wanted to seek a short life. The ghost messenger said that the fetus in the womb was a yin year. There are two springs in the lunar calendar this year, and the yang life can be relied on. Two years old, I remember my two-year-old birthday before I was born, you and my brothers choose this mother and son, how about one of them go to another?"

"Isn't there a man who wants to be a son?"

"How can you take care of so much when you can borrow a corpse to reincarnate?"

"Success, I listen to you!"

"Listen!"

"..."

Bai Shibao listened to the two talking to each other, and what they talked about was all about reincarnation.Thinking that these two ghosts were going to find someone to kill someone, if this matter was placed on the master, the road would be unfair, so he stepped forward and accepted these two ghosts.But, can I subdue these two ghosts at the same time?

Bai Shibao thought of this and saw Lan Xin'er staggering and struggling to stand up, shouting indistinctly, "Where did you go?"

"Come here quickly, there are two ghosts who are going to be reincarnated, don't stand there and bump into ghosts!" Bai Shibao shouted anxiously to Lan Xin'er when he saw the two ghosts walking towards this side.
