I nodded and asked him, "The Wild Wolf Cave is a well, unfathomable, and tourists dare not go in. But the Ghost Tears Cave is different. How come there is not even a warning sign to remind tourists to stop? Doesn't the town or the higher-level government care about this?"
Xiao Qi sighed and said, "I heard that the Ghost Tears Cave was off-limits ten years ago because the plank road inside led to the hanging coffin of Mei Laoguan, and no one was allowed to enter. But then the old mayor became less and less responsible, and many warning signs and fences on the mountain were removed. The higher-level government heard that the back mountain was often haunted, so they didn't dare to inspect it. Over time, it became what it is now."
I touched my nose and looked at Shen Bing and Qu Mo, thinking that the Ghost Tears Cave was just trying to seal Mei Sisi's ghost, and there were so many corpses floating in the Ghost Tears Pond, which was indeed a bit weird. These corpses were thrown into the pond later, and like the living girls, they were all wrapped in white cloth. There must be some secret in it.
Suddenly I thought of the face-changing ghost thing, and I was suddenly shocked. Damn, could this be the legendary "Twelve Transformations of the Monster"
I remember that the faces of those corpses seemed to have incomplete white papers stuck to them. This was the "Ghost Reporting Technique"! The Twelve Transformations of the Ghosts were created from the Ghost Reporting Technique. It was too evil and too inhumane. How many lives would it take to cultivate it
I stood up suddenly and said, "I'm going to the street to buy some things, and then we'll go back to Meiguan Town."
"I'll go with you." Shen Bing said.
Qu Mo frowned and asked, "Why don't you go at night? Wouldn't it be too obvious during the day?"
I laughed and said, "The old mayor is injured, Uncle Quan and the Mei brothers are dead, and that evil ghost with a changed face cannot appear during the day. Even if we expose our target, who can do anything to us?"
"Have you thought of any solution?" Qu Mo asked.
I smiled mysteriously, did not answer, and went out shopping with Shen Bing. Eradicating the clan is actually an empty talk. It is simply a foolish dream to overturn the clan customs that have existed for hundreds or even thousands of years, unless the entire town is exterminated. And the ones who harm people are just the evil magicians in the clan, such as the mayor Quan Shu and his men. Eradicating them can restore peace to the town.
But there is also a face-changing evil ghost and the evil root of Dingwu Maoliu that influences and controls the lives of the residents in the town. This is the real source of evil. Only by uprooting these two evil roots can the scourge be completely eradicated.
The things I wanted to buy made Shen Bing's braids stand up, because not only did I need to buy several herbs such as cinnabar, yellow paper, costus root, sandalwood, agarwood, linglingxiang and scrophularia, I also had to buy a sheep!
"Why buy a sheep? Are we going to have a barbecue in the wild?" Shen Bing asked, scratching his head.
"You only care about eating. Don't you want to lose weight?" I laughed.
Shen Bing wrinkled her nose and said, "I've been hungry and full these past two days. Eating some barbecue won't affect my weight loss plan."
"Okay, after tonight, we'll slaughter the sheep and barbecue it." I reached out and scratched her small nose.
"Why not today... Wait for me."
We finally bought a Boer goat at a sheep farm in the suburbs. It was an imported product. It looked like a dog with two drooping ears, which was quite cute. Back at the hotel, we drew a few Eight Kings Talismans on yellow paper with cinnabar, burned them into ashes, ground the incense and herbs into fine powder, mixed them with yin and yang water, and rolled them into a pellet. We then put it in a sachet and hung it around the goat's neck.
I clapped my hands and laughed, "Today's plan to get rid of the ghost depends entirely on him!"
"That means you are no longer needed, right?" Shen Bing said with a blink.
"Well, in theory I am still useful."
