I found it strange and said with a smile, "You are going backwards as you get older, aren't you? You are so busy picking up girls that you have neglected your Taoist skills and can't even handle a wild ghost."
I regretted saying this to Ma Yunxi. Her face turned red and she said shyly, "Xiao Lu is not only concerned about... This ghost is too powerful, and my witchcraft can't help it."
Shen Bing burst out laughing: "Then let's use the pointy-headed ghost. He's very powerful and he even calls the bumpkin his dad..."
I almost fell down when I covered my face. You little girl, why are you so loose-mouthed? You tell everything. When Lu Fei and Ma Yunxi heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they all burst into laughter.
"Yes, he calls me dad and Shen Bing mom." I said after taking a sip of wine.
Shen Bing's face suddenly turned red: "You dead bumpkin, you promised not to tell them about this."
"You were the first to break the rules, you can't blame me."
Shen Bing gritted her teeth and said viciously: "Okay, if you like a son like this, at worst I can give birth to another one that looks exactly like him!"
I almost fell to the ground after hearing this, and dared not say a word. But Lu Fei laughed so hard that I wanted to kick him out of the tavern.
"Do you still want to borrow the pointy-headed ghost?"
"I do." Lu Fei quickly stopped smiling and looked very serious.
"Then if you drink all of this bottle of Erguotou, I will lend it to you. Otherwise, forget it."
Lu Fei immediately said to me with a bitter face: "Brother, I was wrong just now, isn't that okay? I shouldn't have laughed at you. Forget the wine. I'm afraid I'll have to lie under the table after I finish this bottle."
"Revenge is not manly. If you have the ability, go and get rid of the ghost for Xiao Lu." Shen Bing pouted and spoke up for Lu Fei.
I will take it. What I am least afraid of is taking ghosts. Besides, I have the Qingming Arrow and the Yin Wood Fire of the Pointed Ghost. Who should I be afraid of? Even if I go to the underworld, I am invincible. I was so excited that I forgot that the Qingming Arrow would be gone when I went to the underworld.
"Tell me what's going on with that ghost. I'll help you catch the ghost tonight. But after you catch the ghost, you have to treat me to a meal." I said to Lu Fei.
"Actually, there's no need to trouble you, Brother Xi..." This kid Lu Fei didn't want me to get involved. It seemed that he was afraid that it would be embarrassing for him to rely on me for everything when he was dealing with his sweetheart.
But Ma Yunxi interrupted him and said, "Xi Feng should go. The ghost has no head. He breaks into the house in the middle of the night and takes the owner's head away, and returns it at dawn. We fought with him several times, but failed to subdue him."
Shen Bing glared at him and said, "You can take someone's head off and give it back? That's unbelievable, isn't it?"
I touched my nose and nodded, saying, "This is a headless ghost. It is recorded in the ancient books of Maoshan. Because it was beheaded when alive, it has no brain after death, so it has to borrow the head of a living person to do anything. It sounds strange to cut off a person's head and return it before dawn, but it is not strange. Because this method of beheading is a unique ghost technique, it can keep a person alive after the head is removed, and seal the neck with white paper to prevent blood from flowing out. The same is true for the head. After it is returned before dawn and connected to the neck, it is the same as if it had not been cut off."
Lu Fei and Ma Yunxi kept nodding and said, "You are right, that's how it is."
I said worriedly, "This kind of ghost is a rare kind, very cunning. Although its magic is not very powerful, it is not easy to catch, and it will not give in. It will come back after being driven away once. Even if I lend it to you, the pointy-headed ghost may not be able to deal with it. I'd better go and take a look tonight."
