Chapter 107: Cultivate ghosts

Views:

Hu Xiaojun and Shisan went out for a long time and didn't come back. Seeing that it was getting dark, everyone felt a bad premonition. It was very quiet around, no one, not even birds and insects. Past experience tells me that this kind of situation generally indicates that the risk factor we will face is also very high.

My breathing is getting slower and slower, and every time I take a deep breath, I have to concentrate and observe the changes around me. Now, the only change I can feel is, the sun!

It has been several hours since we arrived here, and the sun here is always gloomy, the sun has no temperature, and it is not dazzling. Usually the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, but this sun goes from west to east.

I stared at the sun for a long time, and Mr. Xiao also looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

"Sir, but what's wrong?"

Mr. Xiao shifted his eyes to me, and sweat dripped from his forehead, "Yin and Yang are reversed!"

Sun Siyan also stood up and looked at the sun, "What do you mean?"

"Have you ever heard of a forbidden technique in Taoism? It can turn the world around, reverse the sun and the moon, and change the order of things in the world. Generally, this forbidden technique is for cultivating ghost fetuses, because the world is dominated by yang energy, while ghosts are dominated by yin energy The ghost fetus uses human beings as the medium, and uses the belly of a woman in the world to make offerings.

From pregnancy to birth, the mother's nutrition will be absorbed by the ghost fetus during this period, until the ghost fetus completely absorbs the mother's nutrition, the mother will die. At this time, the ghost fetus in the mother's womb will rely on the mother's body to hatch.

To put it simply, the mother's body is like an egg shell in the end, and the ghost fetus will break out of the shell! "

"Mr. Xiao, what you said is too mysterious! This kind of practice is unreasonable, who is so boring, why do you want to raise a ghost? What is this ghost?" Sun Siyan didn't understand but was surprised.

"Ghost fetuses are a kind of existence that the underworld can't control. They are bred by special means. They are born in the state of babies. They can't speak, they can't walk, and they don't have any thinking ability. They don't know good and evil, and they don't judge. Right and wrong, but can contain infinite power. And only the dead mother can control the ghost fetus, the two are an inseparable whole.

Just like before, Nanyang people raised little ghosts, the only difference is that ghost fetuses are more terrifying than little ghosts.

If it is about raising a little ghost, you may still have a chance to escape, but once you are entangled by the ghost, let alone escape, you can get a whole corpse, and the soul is not swallowed by it, which is already the best result.

This kind of forbidden technique is untouchable in the entire Taoist school. Once the order of the world is reversed, it will cause people to panic. Even the scum of Taoism did not dare to try it lightly. Secondly, the cultivation requirements of ghost fetuses are strict, and if there is a little bias, the people trained will become sacrifices to ghost fetuses.

So until now, almost no one dared to touch this forbidden technique. "

"Sir, how do you know?" I asked.

Mr. Xiao looked serious, clenched his fist in one hand, and his whole body seemed to be afraid of this technique of cultivating ghost fetuses. "Because of this Taoism, my master studied it at the beginning, and I was fortunate to understand it. In order to try to find a way to restrain this forbidden technique, my master took the risk of experimenting with white mice, but all failed.

My master hurt himself because of this technique, and passed away not long after.

I know very well that the reason why Master failed was because Master had no intention of harming others, but this place is different. Someone spent a lot of time building such a private house here, and his intention was not simple. "

Mr. Xiao paused, "I understand the process of cultivating ghost fetuses, which is a long and extremely dangerous process. I even suspect that this has something to do with the death of Xiao Mi's parents many years ago! It is very likely that Xiao Mi's death The parents discovered the anomaly here, and now Sun Sixue is being imprisoned only after discovering the anomaly."

What he said instantly made me feel the seriousness of the matter, and the source of this conspiracy may have to be traced back many years before I can find the answer.

If this place is so secretive, the surrounding area will not be so simple. Letting Hu Xiaojun and Shisan go there may have exposed all of us.

Now the two of them have not returned for a long time. Thinking about the best, they have found some clues and are rushing back. On the downside, I'm afraid they're already in big trouble.

But, on the bright side, the odds are slim!

I listened carefully, and there was no movement around. If they were in danger, they would make noise. Now it seems that they have lost contact with us.

Sun Siyan stood up, rolled up her sleeves and said, "Then what are you waiting for, we are going to die anyway, we can't just do nothing and wait here to die! If this ghost fetus is controlled by the wicked, it will not only endanger us Personal danger may endanger the whole society. Revolutionary comrades are not greedy and afraid of death!"

"You are so reckless, what if you fall into someone else's trick?" Mr. Xiao worried.

"I agree with Sister Sun's opinion. If my parents are involved in this matter, no matter how dangerous it is, I will give it a try! If Mr. Xiao doesn't want to follow, then wait outside!"

Xiao Mi bit her lip and looked at me, I knew she was waiting for me to make a decision.

But on this matter, I do agree with what Sun Siyan said. Instead of doing nothing and waiting to die here, it is better to go and have a look, maybe there is still life.

Before I could express my opinion, Gu Zhen stood up and said, "Sir, I also agree with Ms. Sun. There was no way to crack the ghost fetus before, and it may not be possible today. Besides, you have always wanted to prove yourself to the department. I I think today is a good opportunity. I believe in sir!"

"Gu Zhen, why are you so confused?" Mr. Xiao felt helpless.

There was a long silence, neither of us spoke. Time has not stopped, and danger still lurks around us.

Suddenly Mr. Xiao patted his thigh, "Well, anyway, life and death are beyond our control. If this is the conspiracy of that mysterious organization, then I have already been involved in it. Even if I want to avoid it, It cannot be avoided either. Now that you have all made up your mind, let that brown and black snake lead the way!"

I nodded hastily, "Alright! I have observed that there is no sign of people around the house, and even if there is, I'm afraid it's not a person. The most important thing is who lives in that house now. Miss Sun and Gu The girl doesn't know Taoism, so it's better to stay. If Shisan and Hu Xiaojun come back, there will be an explanation."

Mr. Xiao also agreed, "That's it, let's go in!"

Sun Siyan was a little upset and wanted to follow, but I was afraid that she would lose her life if she went in. After analyzing the stakes, she finally sat down reluctantly.

Mr. Xiao was worried about Gu Zhen, and left all the magical artifacts he had nurtured for many years to Gu Zhen, so he reluctantly told her to be careful.

Xiao Mi and I approached the house first, and Su Muyan also stood beside me. Originally, I didn't want to bring Xiaobai in, but this guy insisted on following him, so I had no choice but to compromise.

When I stood in front of this house, there was a strong sense of yin, which immediately made me feel cold and very uncomfortable. Xiao Mi also trembled, and instinctively touched her arm.

I handed Xiaobai to Xiao Mi, and let her hold her. The warmth of Xiaobai's body could relieve her tension and anxiety.

Mr. Xiao came from behind and stretched out his hand to push the door open. As a result, the door creaked and opened slowly when he touched it lightly. Mr. Xiao took out the brown and black snake from the cloth bag and put it at the door, and the snake swam in immediately. It seems that there is something attracting it.

Xiao Mi felt a little uncomfortable and gave me a hand.

"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly.

She shook her head, "It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy, maybe it's because I didn't rest well after traveling all night after using the soul-invoking technique. I'm fine, let's go in first!"

I was still worried, so I took her hand and walked in together. Xiao Mi wanted to refuse, but I held on tightly and dared not let go. This is not a joke. In Sun Siyan's words, this is a matter of life and death.

Su Muyan would not object to me doing this, she silently followed me, carefully watching the surroundings.

In any dangerous situation, it may not be a wise decision to separate from one's partners, but the current situation does not allow me to have any hesitation.

A group of people, divided into three places, life and death are all in the hands of God!

Memory is really a good thing sometimes, at least I now have many years of experience. No longer as reckless and ignorant as usual, I kept one hand in my pocket, pressing on the piece of gossip on the copper surface.

I am very familiar with this thing, not because it was given to me by the master, but because it originally belonged to my brother, and then my brother gave it to me. It's a pity that when we broke up, I returned it to him. I didn't expect that after going around, this thing came back to me.

Maybe in the dark, everything has its own will!

The brown and black snake swam so fast that our original idea of sneaking in like a cat was immediately disillusioned. We picked up speed to chase the snake, making various footsteps along the way.

The house doesn't look too big from the outside, but after entering, I realized that the space inside is still big enough.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a courtyard with two water tanks, a sign of wealth. A small courtyard in the middle connects the main hall. There is a plaque hanging on it, with the four gilt characters of "Honest Virtue and Carrying Things".

The appearance of these four words here seems a bit ironic.

There are two staircases on both sides. There are two wooden chairs and a wooden table under the stairs. From the stairs, you can go up to the second floor. In Huizhou architecture, it should be the bedroom above.

The brown and black snake did not go upstairs, but passed through the hall and went directly to the back room.

Behind the main hall, there are square buildings, surrounded by a circle, and a compound in the middle is circled. Peach trees are planted in the four corners of the yard. In Taoism, peach trees have the effect of warding off evil spirits. I really can't understand why so many peach trees are planted here to ward off evil spirits.

But soon I realized that Mr. Xiao was squatting beside the peach tree, pointing to a broken mark on it, "Plum blossoms should be planted under the ground, and the peach tree on top is just a cover. Because the mother who cultivated the ghost fetus is a normal woman." , very fragile during the pregnancy of ghost fetuses, these mahogany trees can ward off evil spirits and drive away some attracted ghosts. But this house must gather yin to have the trick of embedding flowers and trees."

I looked in Mr. Xiao's direction, and indeed there were such broken marks under every plum tree, and the peach blossoms were artificially connected. It seems that people who use this method of transplanting flowers and grafting trees are not very good at planting. The peach tree will not live for more than a month, so someone should come and replace it regularly during this period.

Now, this small courtyard is the brightest place in the whole house.

"It's gone in!" Xiao Mi shouted pointing at the brown and black snake.

We immediately chased after it, and there was a row of rooms behind, and the snake entered the middle one.

It seems to be familiar with the road, and it swam in quickly. The door was not closed tightly, it arched its body, and easily opened the door.

It was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.

The moment the door was pushed open, a strong and pungent smell came out. I couldn't help covering my mouth and nose and coughing twice, "What's this smell?"

"It's a rotten smell!" Su Muyan softly whispered in my ear.

Mr. Xiao stopped and dared not go any further, so I stopped too. Xiaobai, who was held in Xiao Mi's arms, suddenly became agitated, groaned twice, and then retracted his body into Xiao Mi's arms.

This is Xiaobai's performance when he is afraid every time he encounters danger.

I took a deep breath and asked, "Sir, do you want to go in?"

Before Mr. Xiao could answer, Su Muyan walked in.

"Wait!" I couldn't hold back Su Muyan, so I had no choice but to follow in.

In an instant, the room was illuminated by light, Xiao Mi turned on the flashlight, and Mr. Xiao lit a few candles on the candlesticks in the room. Only then did I realize what the unpleasant smell in front of us was.

Honestly, I was able to keep my brain going when I wasn't looking.

But now, apart from nausea, I really have no way to forget the scene in front of me all at once.

Xiao Mi hugged my arm tightly in shock and closed her eyes. Even Mr. Xiao was very embarrassed and wanted to get out of the room several times.

This scene was horrifying, and my heart was beating wildly in shock.

There were two corpses on the ground, men and women could not be distinguished clearly, their bodies were surrounded by all kinds of cold things. The brown and black snake was one of them. It was climbing up the mountain into the mouth of one of the corpses, and its whole body had penetrated more than half of it.

I think the internal organs of the corpse were probably swallowed up by it in this way, so there is nothing else in the room except for the irritating smell and the horror of the scene.

My scalp was numb, and I stared at the two corpses and asked, "Is the soul really being swallowed?"

Su Muyan nodded, "I can no longer feel any presence in this room."

"Next, what should we do?" Xiao Mi made a small voice in my arm.

Mr. Xiao seemed to have made up his mind, endured the intense discomfort, squatted down and pulled the brown and black snake out of the corpse's mouth, and then stuck a talisman on it.

"Let's take us to find the person in this house!"

The brown and black snake seemed to understand, it slid out of the house and returned to the previous yard. After wandering around a well for a while, the snake climbed up the well wall and slid down the well wall.

Among the few of us, only Mr. Xiao is short enough to successfully drill into this well. So in the end, Mr. Xiao sat in the bucket of fetching water, and Xiao Mi and I put him down bit by bit.

I don't know how deep the well is, and Xiao Mi and I let the rope hang for a few minutes before we heard Mr. Xiao shouting from below, "Stop, don't let it go, there's water!"

"Sir, what's the situation down here?" I fixed the rope for fetching water and asked while lying on the mouth of the well.

"It's too dark, I can't see anything. See if there is something like a longer bamboo stick down. I want to test how deep the water is below."

I looked around, and there were a few bamboo sticks in the yard that were probably used to dry clothes. I took the longest one, almost two meters long, and slid it down the side of the well.

"Sir, have you received it?"

"Received!" After Mr. Xiao gave me an answer, there was no movement for a long time. After a while, there was a sudden commotion below, and I heard Mr. Xiao shouting in a hurry, "Pull me up quickly!"

The voice was extremely anxious, and seemed to be a little scared. Xiao Mi and I didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly wrapped the rope around our hands and pulled it up. After pulling to a certain level, it becomes more and more difficult.

"Senior sister, the rope seems to be controlled by something, I can't use any strength at all, and the rope doesn't move!"

I feel the same way as Xiao Mi, but we can't let go. "Catch it, don't let go!" According to the speed at which the rope was released just now, Mr. Xiao should have been near the mouth of the well, but Mr. Xiao didn't give me any response at all.

I hurriedly shouted from the side, "Little Mister, can you hear me? Where are you now? Are you okay?"

The silence sent chills down my back. I pulled the rope back and fixed it on the bucket rack beside me. Xiao Mi shouted again, "Senior Sister, the rope is about to break!"

Only then did I see that the rope at the mouth of the well had been frayed and cracked a few times. I stepped forward and stood at the mouth of the well, and saw Mr. Xiao was indeed very close to me, but his consciousness was in a coma, but his hands were still instinctively dead. Dead pull the rope.

"Mr. Xiao, please wake up soon, sir?" I reached out to reach him, but there was still some distance left.

It was also enough that I realized that the cold air below made my bones tingle a little.

"Junior Sister, come and help me!"

Xiao Mi dropped the rope and ran to me, "Sister, the rope is about to break!"

"Come here, hold me!" I climbed to the mouth of the well, half of my body leaned in, Xiao Mi pulled my leg, and Xiao Bai squatted nervously on the mouth of the well, moaning softly.

I tried a few times, and finally grabbed Mr. Xiao's clothes, and my heart felt a little more at ease. Slap, at the moment I grabbed Mr. Xiao, the well rope was snapped by something and fell heavily into the well. I could hear the splash of water from the bucket. This dull sound was exactly like the feeling of a big ox falling into the water.

I took Mr. Xiao out of the well, put him on the ground, checked his breath, and checked his limbs. Fortunately, there was no trauma on his body, he just passed out in a coma. I took out what Uncle Gu gave me before, and there was Ningshen Pill inside. I took one and gave it to Mr. Xiao. After a while, Mr. Xiao woke up.

Mr. Xiao's face was pale and panic-stricken.

"Sir, are you alright?" I asked tentatively.

"This house, this house is too weird!" Mr. Xiao said excitedly, "There are corpses under this well, and their resentment is very strong, I was almost dragged down by them. Fortunately, the snake blocked me in front, If I stay longer, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me."

"Under the well are the souls of several children." Su Muyan reminded me from the side.

Mr. Xiao also nodded, "That's right, it's a child. You probably don't know that piling is required to build a house, and there is a saying in the world called piling. Lu Ban once proposed this method, usually in Before building a bridge or a house, in order to avoid damaging the local geomantic omen and provoking the local evil spirits, if an accident occurred during the construction of the house, some virgins and virgins were specially selected to be buried here to deter those evil spirits.

This kind of practice has been banned a long time ago, I didn't expect such a cruel practice to exist now! This house uses raw piles! "

Mr. Xiao was so excited, he couldn't help but tighten my hand.

I don't know what Mr. Xiao saw below, but such things as piling up piles cannot be said to be nonsense, but if you can invite some Taoists, why would you want to ruin a child's life.

A thought suddenly flashed in my mind, "So Xiao Shuang didn't die in the Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain at all, she was buried alive in this house! Xiao Shuang is a life pile?"

"I'm getting more and more confused as you say!" Xiao Mi hugged Xiao Bai, with confusion in his eyes.

In fact, I also don't understand that the piling of piles is supposed to be for the smooth construction of houses, and the children who ply piles generally don't become evil things, because they themselves are for the purpose of deterring evil things.

"Xiao Mister, I didn't see any resentment in Xiao Shuang's body, but the resentment at the bottom of the well is so big that it's hard to approach. Is there anything special about it?"

"Xiao Shuang's lack of grievances does not mean she has no grievances. She was overtaken by someone before, and her grievances may have been eliminated at that time. The birth piles here are special. They are prepared for ghosts. These children are here Being beaten up without knowing it, and then locked in such a gloomy house, even if there is no resentment, it will become resentment.

It's just that their grievances have been backlogged at the bottom of this well and blocked artificially. Their existence for so many years can scare away some powerful resentful spirits, and secondly, they can also become the first big meal for the birth of ghost fetuses.

Now the souls of these children are still there, it seems that the ghost fetus has not yet formed. We need to find the ghost as soon as possible, maybe we still have a chance to leave! "

"But now the brown and black snake is dead, where can we find other things to guide us?"

Xiao Mi took out a small white object from her bosom, bowed her head and said, "Let the white lady go!"

I was frightened by it when I was a child. It was a little white snake raised by Xiao Mi. The White Snake has had a deep relationship with Xiao Mi for so many years. The meaning of the White Snake to Xiao Mi is not only the things her mother gave her, but also the company for many years.

Xiao Mi's painstaking efforts are also stored in the body of the white lady, and the two are interdependent. If the white lady died, Xiao Mi's vitality would be seriously injured. At this time, if something happens to Xiao Mi, it will be very dangerous.

I wanted to stop her, but looking at her appearance, I knew I couldn't persuade her. The whole thing is out of our control, and it's about the death of her parents. Now that she has clues, she must not be willing to give up easily. I watched her put the little white snake in front of me, and whispered softly, "White Lady, go!"

This white lady also understands human nature. She raised her head and glanced at Xiao Mi, then started to walk along a road in the yard.

Although Mr. Xiao is fine, this house is weird and evil, we dare not rush into it rashly, it is very necessary to have the white lady in front to lead the way.

The white lady led us upstairs, and looking down from the corridor above, we could see a huge cage. We were birds locked in this cage and lost our freedom.

The wooden partitions of the wooden stairs creaked when stepped on. I don't know how many years this house has been built, but the wooden planks are old, and I'm always worried that they will suddenly fall down when I walk on them.

Su Muyan has been following behind me, her brows have not been relaxed.

From one end of the stairs to the other, something weird happened.

The white lady stopped outside the house, hesitating and did not go in immediately. I thought the door was closed tightly and it couldn't get in. But I stepped forward and pushed lightly, and the door opened.

It's not dark inside, and all the furnishings are clear at a glance. There are a lot of tables and chairs, the bed is an ancient carved bed, and a woman is lying on the bed.

Why does this woman look so familiar to me? I was still recalling carefully, Su Muyan thought of it first and said, "Isn't this the woman under the celestial burial platform in Sera Temple? Isn't she dead?"

At this moment, I noticed that the woman's abdominal cavity was rising and falling normally, and she was still breathing. Could it be that she is still alive

The author has something to say: Wow, tomorrow is another day and night shift, and I can’t code for two days!

So, so! There may be easter eggs tonight, hehe!
