Chapter 20: Ancestral ghost dictionary

Views:

My heart was filled with surprise for a while, the shadow-eating ghost? Never heard of it!

Or is that not a dead kid at all

Just as I was in the midst of doubts, the old lady suddenly turned over and seemed to be waking up.

I grabbed Ling'er's hand, leaped forward, and jumped out of the window.

Outside the window, Ling'er and I pulled the ropes separately, hung quietly outside the house, and quietly pushed the old lady's window back.

I only heard the old lady in the room muttering, "Strange, why is this light on?"

After a while, the light went out.

Linger and I looked at each other, slowly descended to the downstairs, and then went upstairs back to our office.

After entering the house, Linger asked me,

"Brother, the old lady has no shadow? Why is it still normal?"

"Normal?" There was a cold sweat in my heart. When you didn't see her becoming a zombie, if you saw it, you wouldn't say it was normal.

"Indeed, losing the shadow in a short period of time does not seem to change, but..." My face sank.

"but what?"

"But people without shadows are equivalent to losing their ability to control themselves. If someone with a heart wants to control someone who has lost their shadows, even if they are thousands of miles away, they only need some simple tricks to do it." My face is full of dignity. Such tricks have been circulating in the world since ancient times. They are of all kinds, and it is impossible to tell which school they are.

Thinking of the old lady who had just been zombified, my back felt cold.

Who on earth is going to shoot an old lady who is nearly sixty-year-old

Moreover, looking at this method, it turns people directly from normal people into zombies, which should be regarded as a more evil and cruel move.

"It turned out to be like this." Linger murmured. Then when he raised his head, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Brother, in other words, is the old woman controlled by others? If this is the case, we have to help the old woman!"

"En." I nodded. Although this old lady is not right with me, she is at least my neighbor, and it is naturally impossible for me to die.

It’s just that what happened tonight is so weird that I don’t have a clue at all now.

"Brother, how much time do we have?" Linger stared at me and asked.

I opened the mouth and said, "For humans, shadows are used to balance the yin and yang of a person. Most of the yin and qi in the human body are stored in the shadow. Once there is no shadow, the balance of yin and yang in the human body will be broken, and it will not survive for three days. ."

Linger thought about it after hearing it, and muttered, "Three days?" Then he raised his head and asked, "Brother, what was that thing just now? Why have I never seen it before?"

When Ling'er said this, my expression also became serious, "I may have made a mistake in my previous judgment, and that is probably not a dead kid."

"What could it be?" Linger asked.

I thought for a while, there is it! Then waved at Ling'er: "Come with me."

"What's the matter?" Ling'er looked at me, a trace of doubt flashed across her face. But I didn't explain much, but took Ling'er into the study directly.

I didn't notice that behind me, a round, dark little guy followed me and Ling'er into the study.

After entering the study, I pulled out a book that looked very broken from the bottom of the shelf.

Put it on the desk, in fact, it is really broken.

The dark red sheepskin cover, several corners have been damaged to varying degrees. Book a pick

After coming out, the air instantly filled with a breath of ancient dust. The surface of the book is painted with three weird runes, which are different from any text that has been discovered, adding a lot of mystery to the book.

"Brother, what is this? Why haven't you seen it before?" Linger asked curiously, staring at the book on the desk.

"This is a ghost dictionary. I didn't take it out before because I remembered everything in it. There was no need to use it." I replied softly, staring at the ancient book for a long time.

This is the only treasure left to me by my family. The three strange runes above are the secret words of our family. The translation is the'Ghost Dictionary'.

"Then it's because of it now?"

"Because I was a bit lazy when I was studying before, and there is one chapter left with 32 ghosts in it. If I remember correctly, it should start on page 104..." I muttered, turning the book carefully. At page 104, this is the last chapter of the book.

"That's right, it's here." A light flashed in my eyes, and I saw a few bold characters written on a piece of paper-"Alien ghosts".

"The so-called strange ghosts are the existence of different kinds of ghosts. The number is very small. I have caught a ghost for more than a thousand years and haven't seen one, so I haven't learned it. But I may encounter one today." I continued, a dignified look appeared in my eyes, and then I turned page after page.

After turning four or five pages, I finally saw what I was looking for. A baby-sized kid was reflected on it, and there were two small characters underneath-Shadow Demon.

There is it! right here!

I pointed to the words above, and read it out softly, "The so-called shadow demon, who eats shadows and turns into a demon, arises from the evil thoughts of man, arises from the greed of man, and flourishes with the evil thoughts of man. One of the resentful spirits of life. "

After I finished reading, I nodded slowly, and muttered: "No wonder..."

Ling'er was a little puzzled, "What is the resentful spirit of life?"

"Generally, the resentful spirits are formed after death, because the resentment is too heavy and troubles the soul. But the resentful spirits of life are not like this. It is caused by the living beings with great resentment, and then in certain specific It was caused by an improper practice under the chance of a man.” I paused and continued to explain.

"That is to say, the shadow demon was created by humans, specifically to harm people. Just now, the shadow demon should be a running shadow demon. The running shadow demon comes without a shadow and goes without a trace. It is extremely fast and specially absorbs human shadows for the nest shadow demon. , And finally send it back to continuously increase the power of the shadow demon in the nest. The greater the power of the shadow demon in the nest, the more errands will be produced in the end. This is a cycle of constant strengthening."

A solemn expression flashed in my eyes, "It seems that Anlin City, there are going to be a few more bizarre cases."

Just when I was worried about what kind of person created the harmful things like the Lair Shadow Demon, and how far this thing has developed, why not even let an old lady let it go, a stubborn guy Suddenly jumped in front of me.

"Huh? Xiao Jiu?" I was stunned. The desk is at least one meter and five meters high. This little guy is not 30 centimeters high. How did he jump up

But Xiao Jiu ignored me, poked up his butt and faced me, sniffing back and forth on the ghost dictionary with his nose.

"What are you doing?" I was puzzled, staring at Xiao Jiu with wide eyes.

Xiao Jiu has never been interested in a book. In fact, it has been almost half a month since he came to my house. Apart from eating and sleeping, he has never been interested in anything. This made me doubt his identity as a spirit dog. After all, I have never seen such an edible spirit dog!

But right now I didn’t stop the little

Because Jiu's movements are faint, I think this may be his first show of power as a spirit dog.

"Brother, if you don't take Xiao Jiu down, I'm worried..." Ling'er said suddenly.

"worry about what?"

As soon as the voice fell, just hearing the sound of'Zila', Xiao Jiu's little head raised, and a page of paper was directly torn off.

"Crunchy." Xiao Jiu chewed the page of paper into his mouth.

I:"… "

Ling'er's voice came faintly, "I am worried that it will eat the book..."

"Ah!" I went crazy, this is the only relic left to me by my family!

I suddenly turned Xiao Jiu's body around and broke his dog's mouth directly, trying to save my book.

"Xiao Jiu! I order you to spit out my book!" I wanted to cry without tears. I thought that this guy was going to show his power, but I didn't expect to give me a smashing dog.

"Woo... Hiccup!"

Xiao Jiu smashed his mouth and swallowed the last trace of confetti.

I am completely petrified.

Didn't I usually buy you dog food? You even want to eat my book!

I picked up Xiao Jiu frantically, trying to throw it out of the study.

Linger quickly snatched Xiao Jiu from my hand, hugged it in her arms, and pleaded, "Brother, don't do this, it's still a child."

I want to cry without tears, it is still a child, and my book is still a baby!

I helped my forehead helplessly, looked at my book distressedly, and said distressedly, "Hu Tian is ashamed, I'm sorry to the ancestors and ancestors!"

This ghost dictionary has been passed down from generation to generation. I did not expect that in my generation, it would not escape the fate of falling into the mouth of a dog.

I looked distressedly at the book on the table, wanting to see which page was swallowed by Xiao Jiu.

"112, 113... Hey, 114, 115?" I was stunned, because the page Xiao Jiu ripped off was the one after page 113. It should be pages 114 and 115, but it is strange. Yes, the serial number on the tree is still connected, 114 and 115 are not missing.

"What's going on?" My heart suddenly became puzzled. Could it be that something went wrong when making this ghost dictionary, and one of them was duplicated

No, no one has discovered it for so many years? Why have you never heard your father say it

Just as my stomach was full of confusion, Ling'er's exclaim suddenly came from behind, "Brother, look at it, Xiao Jiu doesn't know what's wrong!"

"Ah?" I turned my head quickly, and saw Xiao Jiu in Ling'er arms exuding a faint blue light. The little guy seemed uncomfortable, curled up, wondering what's wrong.

Where did you see this posture? correct! Last time at Nanshan Dakeng, Xiao Jiu looked like this when he was about to vomit animal poison when he was still Ke Ke.

"Could it be?" I was taken aback, Xiao Jiu was about to throw up something again

As soon as the voice fell, I saw the little guy straighten his body, his eyes widened, and at the same time, the dog's fur was erected and his four legs were kicked straight, staggering his height of 30 cm by 40 cm. the height of!

"Wow!" The little guy suddenly yelled, and a quail-egg-sized thing that was shining in blue light and round in winter fell out of its mouth and fell to the ground.

"Wow." After Xiao Jiu vomited this thing out, she seemed to feel more comfortable, and the blue barrier on her body gradually disappeared, and she comfortably rubbed Ling'er's arms twice, and the dog's hair softened again.

"This is?" I curiously picked up the shining blue bead, placed it in my palm, and observed it carefully.
