"Is this the ghost mother?" I swallowed a big mouthful of saliva and stared at the thing in Grandma Ling Qing's hand in disbelief.
Ling Ruyue is very interested. Seeing that, she can't help but touch this ghost mother. Based on my understanding of this little girl, her hobbies are very special. She doesn't like it, but other little girls do. Instead of loving things like insects, strange flowers and plants, snakes and the like.
Sure enough, hobbies and interests need to be cultivated from an early age. This girl Ling Ruyue really doesn't follow the ordinary path.
Yang Sheng had the most intense reaction. He held up his glasses and walked past Grandma Ling Qing repeatedly, shouting: "It's amazing, it's really amazing. This kind of thing reminds me of ants." The biology of a clan of queen ants is indeed magical. After opening the door, there are endless treasures waiting for me to explore."
I got goosebumps all over. Relatively speaking, Ghost Mother looks better than Hua Feifei in my mind, because Hua Feifei is a spider. I have an instinctive fear of spiders, but it is limited to Hua Feifei. Feifei is feeling better.
Just because what the hell is a ghost mother? The ghost mother is a moth!
A black moth as big as half a human head! But don’t think so. The ghost mother is not scary. What’s scary about it is its pattern. When combined, it looks like a face that looks like a smile but not a smile. It has a great visual impact and is very weird. It is similar to the gate of the Tomb of the Hungry Ghost. The reliefs on it are exactly the same, this is the legendary Ghost Mother!
I have thought about its image thousands of times, and even looked through some limited Buddhist scriptures collected by Master for this purpose, but I just couldn't imagine that it was the image of a moth.
"Master, why is it just a moth? Is it powerful? Does it bite?" But no matter how scary the moth looks, it is still just a moth, and I can't figure out what's so powerful about it.
"Sanwa'er, what's the use of its bite? It's not afraid of being slapped to death. What's great about it is that as long as it wants, it can summon a bunch of its children, including the Hungry Ghost King, who controls the Ghost Mother. It's equivalent to controlling a bunch of hungry ghosts, what do you think? Therefore, before we go to the ghost mother, we must first clear out those hungry ghost eggs and the hungry ghost bugs that have hatched. In extremely dangerous situations, this ghost mother can make Those dormant hungry ghost eggs all hatched in a very short period of time, which is why it is more powerful than the queen ant." Hu Xueman said angrily.
I stared at Yang Sheng. No wonder this kid was shouting about the ghost mother ant queen. It turned out that he had known about it for a long time. He just wanted to know how the ghost mother existed. It was like a hungry ghost. Many people could not imagine that it was similar. Something about roundworms.
When some truths are exposed, people are often stunned and refuse to believe it. But this is the truth, just like it is difficult for ancient people to think about modern airplanes and for modern people to imagine the spirit of loyalty in ancient times.
"This is the human world, the territory of humans. It can't take form, otherwise the ghost mother is a magical guy. Even if there are no ghosts, it will be difficult to deal with it." Old Man Jiang said lightly.
"Master, why did you go in for three days? Where did you find the ghost mother? Is it really in that ancient tomb?" Anyway, with Yang Sheng as a shield to ask questions, I didn't have any scruples, so I just started asking too. , I am really curious about what Master and the others have experienced these past few days.
The master's face became heavy, and Hui Jue recited a Buddha's name. Grandma Ling Qing did not speak, but directly hugged Ling Ruyue into her arms.
Only Hu Xueman, whose eyes suddenly turned red, took off his hat, put it on the table, and said in a very low voice: "We have sacrificed two comrades, and there is another one who is rescuing..."
Dead? I stood there blankly. I had been in the Tomb of Hungry Ghosts. I could not imagine that the soldiers who rested with me in the hall that day and handed eggs to Hui Jue to eat would die in the Tomb of Hungry Ghosts.
Haven't the Hungry Ghost Kings been dealt with? Are zombies scary? Or are ghost mothers...
The master looked serious and took out a small cloth bag from his arms. After opening it, there were two things. One was the ancient jade I pried off the wall, and the other was a small bronze plate with symbols and jade on it. The symbols on them are exactly the same.
After a while of silence, the master ordered: "Sir, bring me paper and pen."
I didn’t know what Master was going to do, but I still went to the room to help Master take out the paper and pen, helped Master lay out the paper, and then concentrated on helping Master sharpen his ink. Master picked up the pen and pondered for a while, and then started writing. Rufei started writing on the paper.
I originally thought that Master was going to write a report, but I didn’t expect that Master was writing in a very old font. I could barely recognize a few words, but I couldn’t understand them. The paragraph was not long, so I wrote it very quickly. After it was finished, the master folded the paper after letting it dry, and then handed it to Yang Sheng.
"Before you go to Xinjiang, you have to go back to Beijing, right?" Master asked Yang Sheng.
"Yes, I have to go back and submit the report. Master Jiang, aren't you going back to Beijing?" Yang Sheng was a little surprised.
"I have to go back, but if I haven't met some people, I don't know whether I can report back to the department or not. But this letter is very important. Please give it to the director of our operations department for me, and tell me this. The biggest clue in the Hungry Ghost Tomb." Master ordered.
I was confused. What's the biggest clue? Why doesn't Master hand over this thing himself
"Minister Li? No problem!" Yang Sheng nodded.
Then the master rewrapped the ancient jade and bronze medals and handed them to Yang Sheng. He said, "Teach this to the secret investigation department and ask them to check if they have found any similar symbols, and what does it represent behind them?" This is very important as a person or an organization, because they have a lot of information in their hands and can check it more efficiently than me."
Yang Sheng nodded. This man had no curiosity about entangled things, except for his scientific research.
After giving all these instructions, the master stood up and said: "You juniors, please leave and go play by yourselves. Xueman, come into the room. We will explain something to you. You can write the report, and then you can go back. Look at that seriously injured child, save him at all costs."
There was a sense of sighing in Master's words, and I felt that Master had something very heavy on his mind after he came back from the tomb.
Ling Ruyue and I stayed outside absent-mindedly, while Yang Sheng started writing and drawing again. After about an hour, Hu Xueman came out of the room, but my master and the others were nowhere to be seen.
Hu Xueman walked up to me and suddenly touched my head vigorously and said, "Sanwa'er, will you forget Uncle Hu after you go to Beijing?"
When he said this, I suddenly felt a little sad. In fact, this bearded uncle was quite nice, but I didn't expect him to be so emotional.
I said loudly: "Of course I will not forget Uncle Hu, but my master is gone, will you still stay here?"
"Originally, after your master left, our branch had to evacuate to the city where it belongs. After all, it is impossible for such a branch to exist everywhere in the country due to various reasons, but because of the problem here, A hungry ghost's tomb, we basically have to stay here, fearing that there will be a sudden situation, Beijing will send people to take us, but we don't have the skills of your master." Hu Xueman said with some emotion.
As a member of the country, some things cannot be done according to one's own wishes. You must obey the arrangements of the country. According to Hu Xueman's wishes, I really want to follow my master.
"My master is very good? Aren't the people in that department very good?" I was a little confused. In fact, I knew that my master was very good, but I didn't have a concept of comparison. I had no idea what level the master was among the same type of people.
"It's amazing. They are ranked among the best in the country. The few disciples taught by your master are all figures." Hu Xueman sighed sincerely, but seemed to feel that he said too much. He patted me on the shoulder and said: "Sir, please grow up quickly."
After saying that, Hu Xueman turned around and left in a hurry.
I was baffled, but also sad. This time I went to Beijing, could I go back to my hometown again? Will we ever see the bearded Uncle Hu again
Master and the others never came out, but occasionally a few voices of argument came out, as if they were also very excited, but I didn't know what they were talking about.
Yang Sheng is a very mechanical person. Unless there is something special, he will always go to bed before 11 o'clock in the evening. He and I slept on the floor in the living room. By this time, he was already snoring. Ling Ruyue and I were silent in front of the oil lamp.
In a blink of an eye, the night is already deep... .
"Third brother, when Grandpa Jiang was writing, grandma told me that we would go back tomorrow." Ling Ruyue broke the silence.
"Yeah." I was a little depressed, and suddenly I felt that life was like a drama. I hated Ling Ruyue very much at first, but thinking about her leaving tomorrow, I started to feel sad again. Who could have expected that in just a few days, What about the deep friendship we developed
The bustling scene suddenly becomes deserted, and sometimes I feel uncomfortable.
"Third brother, brother Sheng also said that he will leave tomorrow."
"Um."
"What are you saying all the time? You won't be reluctant to let go?"
"Some things won't happen unless we say we can't let go. We have to believe that we will meet again in the future."
"Yeah," Ling Ruyue nodded heavily.
At this time, the door opened and Grandma Ling Qing came out.
