The speed of the little ghost was not slow. In a flash, a dark figure appeared in front of me. I panicked and the spell I chanted became intermittent and stuttering. This greatly reduced the effect of the soul-catching bell.
"Damn Taoist priest, I wanted to let you go, but now it seems you are courting death!"
The little ghost's eyes flashed with ferocity, and its black claws stabbed directly at my head. I knew something was wrong, so I dodged it quickly. Who knew that although I dodged the little ghost's claws, the soul-catching bell in my hand fell to the ground.
With a "crash", the soul-catching bell rolled far away.
Without the time to retrieve the soul-catching bell, I quickly lay on the ground and rolled more than a meter to the side, only then I avoided the little ghost's bite. After rolling out, I quickly threw out the stack of talismans in my hand, which were several ghost-exorcising talismans. With the spell, the runes on the ghost-exorcising talismans glowed with golden light, and instantly flew towards the little ghost.
The light and fluttering talisman hit the little ghost. I thought the talisman would not be very effective. But unexpectedly, the talisman burned immediately when it hit the little ghost, making a "sizzling" sound. The sound was like something falling into a boiling oil pan and being fried instantly.
Thick white smoke began to come out of the little ghost's body. "Ah..." the little ghost screamed in pain.
Seeing that the exorcism talisman was quite effective, I quickly took out another one from my backpack and prepared to throw it in the direction of the little ghost. The little ghost was not prepared when I threw the talisman just now, but when he saw me take out another one, he ignored the pain in his body and rushed towards me again with his ghost energy.
Ghosts are something that should not be underestimated. He came close to me quickly and bumped into me.
My body trembled, my abdomen ached, my legs retreated a few steps, my mouth tasted sweet and I spat out a mouthful of red blood. The talisman I had taken out also fell to the ground.
"Little devil!" I shouted with my teeth bared.
But the little ghost was not afraid of me. It slowly approached me with a twisted face. I found that the red and prickly skin on its lower body had turned dark as ink, and a sinister aura was spreading in the room. It seemed that my actions just now had completely angered the little ghost in front of me, and his resentment was obviously increasing.
"Damn it, old man
I have failed here today!"
I cursed in my heart, thinking that if I had known that the little ghost in front of me was so powerful, I should not have agreed to help him find his relatives. Now, I didn't make any money from the ghost pill, but I had to lose my life. I regretted it very much and felt that it was not worth it.
The little ghost saw my bitter expression and said with a strange smile: "Damn Taoist priest, are you scared now?! Haha... But it's too late. You dare to ruin my business. Today you will die like them. I will cut you all open!"
With a strange smile, the little ghost rushed towards me again. What I didn't notice was that at some point, the little girl's father, the middle-aged man, actually ran into the inner room and brought out an incense burner. There was no incense in the incense burner, but it was filled with a full furnace of incense ash.
"Master, get out of the way!" the middle-aged man shouted, reminding me.
Seeing this, I quickly covered my mouth and nose with my sleeves. The middle-aged man picked up the incense burner and threw the incense ash in the burner towards the little ghost. Suddenly, the whole room was filled with incense ash, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
The little ghost thought it would be easy to kill me, but unexpectedly, the incense ash suddenly fell on him. To be honest, incense ash is not very spiritual, but it is a good way to deal with ghosts. Incense ash can kill ghosts.
The incense ash fell on the little ghost, and I could see that the black air covering the little ghost was rapidly disappearing, as if the incense ash was a sponge that absorbed most of the resentment from him. The little ghost's lower body was originally pitch black, but now it was getting darker little by little, and many parts turned back to that prickly red color.
"Ahh..."
The ghost's shadow twisted and deformed in the air, and turned into a ball of black gas that rushed around the house. He knocked over the flower pots, knocked off the embroidery hanging on the wall, and smashed the fish tank... His screams of fear sounded particularly creepy in the night.
I swallowed, my chest heaving violently. My arms were covered with goose bumps. If goose bumps could be used to cook, I would probably be able to scrape off a plate of them.
"It worked, it worked... Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you!" The middle-aged man was secretly delighted. He didn't expect that the incense ash in his hand would actually cause harm to the little ghost opposite.
.
Although incense ash has its own unique features, the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes also mentioned that incense ash can only cause certain damage to some weaker ghosts, and it is impossible to use incense ash to truly eliminate ghosts. And it seems that although I just angered the little ghost, the ghost-exorcising talismans I threw out have already caused damage to the little ghost. Otherwise, the little ghost would not be so weak. As for the ghost energy that surged in his body before, it was just a bluff.
Seeing the little ghost running around in the house, I thought this was an opportunity, so I quickly took out the willow branch from my backpack. Now it was time to use the willow branch. I gritted my teeth, aimed at the black gas flying close to me, and swung the willow branch and suddenly hit it.
"Ahh... It hurts so much, it hurts so much! Don't hit me, don't hit me..."
The little ghost made human voices again, but I didn't feel sorry for him. He had already deceived me once and almost took my life. I could never forgive him. And I had helped him find his family, so the agreement between us was terminated.
I kept waving the willow branches at the black air.
As I whipped him, the little ghost fell to the ground and transformed into a human form. His shadow became much smaller, and it looked only about an inch tall. The ghost energy coming out of him also seemed very loose, as if it was about to dissipate.
"Please let me go, I beg you! Master, I beg you!" The little ghost cried, and his voice turned into a child's voice. I think this is a kind of confusion.
"You want me to let you go? Don't dream on. You almost killed me just now!"
“Pah, pah!”
I waved the willow branch in my hand wildly, hitting the child every time. When I was a child, my father used willow branches to hit my buttocks because I was naughty. At that time, I knew that being hit on the buttocks by willow branches was not pleasant. Looking at the curled up little devil in front of me, I was afraid that he would not feel much better.
"Ahh..."
The little ghost screamed in pain, and there was not much resentment left in his body. Every time I whipped him, the resentment in the little ghost would be reduced a little. His red and prickly skin was covered with blood marks from my whipping, and his whole body looked like a blood gourd. There was also a lot of incense ash left on the ground. The little ghost rolled on the ground, as if he was tumbling in a frying pan.
After fighting for more than ten minutes, the little ghost had shrunk to the size of a fist.
It will be reduced to ashes.
The little ghost showed an expression of reluctance and pain on his face. He originally wanted to take revenge. But when he saw that he could take revenge, he was defeated by me and the middle-aged man.
But even though he was unwilling, the little ghost knew that he might die today and would not even have the chance to be reborn as a human. For a moment, the little ghost really longed for the warmth of home. He curled up into a ball, staring blankly at the little girl curled up at the foot of the wall, and called out, "Mom!"
It was the word "mother" that made my heart tremble, and I subconsciously stopped my hand. But when I thought of the little devil's vicious appearance when he just hurt people, I felt that I couldn't be soft-hearted anymore, so as to avoid any accidents.
But just as I raised the willow branch and prepared to beat the little devil to pieces, a thin figure blocked his way. It was the little girl.
The little girl stopped me in tears, her shoulders shaking and she sobbed, begging me, "Big brother, please let him go, I beg you, I can feel the connection between him and me, he is the child I gave birth to."
The little girl stood in front of the little ghost and protected him. I couldn't bring myself to kill him.
The middle-aged man came over at this time, and he directly dragged the little girl aside. He angrily scolded, "Yiyi, get out of the way, don't stop the master. This thing is a ghost, we are human, you should let the master kill him. Otherwise, our family will suffer. You are still young, you don't know how cruel ghosts are."
But the little girl struggled to pull her arm out of her father's hand. She looked at her father with tears in her eyes and said in a trembling voice: "But... I am sorry for this child. If I hadn't listened to you, how could I have thrown him away? It's all your fault, it's all your fault. You adults only know how to consider your own face..."
The middle-aged man was stunned on the spot, his face gloomy, and he couldn't even speak. I noticed that his shoulders were shaking a few times.
The little girl turned her head and looked at the little ghost curled up on the ground. She begged me softly, "Big brother, I beg you, please let him go. It was me who killed him. I didn't protect him well... I learned in school that a mother should love her children, but I didn't do it."
The little girl's words were just like those of a little adult.
But I didn't know how to answer her.
The little ghost curled up on the ground, even though there was only a ball left, but I could clearly see regret and childlike desire in his eyes. Can ghosts have feelings? This is not mentioned in "Yin Yang Soul Notes".
Seeing this, I couldn't just stand there, so I coughed lightly and said to the little girl in a deep voice: "Well... well, since you have sympathy in your heart, I will let this little devil go for now. However, if he harms others, I will make his soul fly away and he will never be able to reincarnate."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you Master... You are a good person!"
The little girl's expression was very similar to the expression when the little ghost asked me for help when I saw him before. They are indeed mother and son. But this is the first time I have seen such a young mother. I think there must be a reason why the little girl is pregnant.
I nodded and said nothing more. Then, I took out the small bamboo tube from my backpack. The small bamboo tube is the soul collecting bucket. I opened the stopper on the soul collecting bucket and whispered a short spell. I saw that the little ghost curled up on the ground and looked at the little girl turned into a ball of black air, and soon I collected it into the soul collecting bucket.
Put the stopper on and stick the suppression talisman on the soul collecting barrel, and you are done.
Seeing that I had captured the little ghost, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, but a moment later he looked at me anxiously again. I understood what he meant, he might be afraid that the little ghost would come out and cause trouble again.
I chuckled and said, "Uncle, it's okay. I've already captured that little devil, and he's very weak now so he won't cause any more trouble. I was lucky to have the incense ash from your stove, otherwise I would have been in real trouble."
The middle-aged man looked like a kind person. He smiled innocently with his dry lips cracked. He bowed to me and said politely, "Master, I still have to thank you."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Don't thank me. To be honest, today's incident is all my fault. I shouldn't have trusted the little ghost and brought it to you." At this point, I thought of the middle-aged woman who fainted, so I told the middle-aged man, "Uncle, you should go and see Auntie quickly. She fainted."
The middle-aged man hurried to the middle-aged woman and pinched her philtrum several times before the middle-aged woman woke up.
At this time, I called the little girl Yiyi, who was crying continuously, aside. I wanted to know how that child came from... ...
