Damn, it really is a monkey, with a tail on its butt, but it has no hair on its body. I couldn’t see clearly what it was at first.
Wang Zijun, Qu Mo and Shen Bing ran over. Seeing this weird scene, Wang Zijun certainly couldn't stand it and shrank back, but he didn't dare to cover his eyes out of fear in front of Qu Mo.
Shen Bing's mouth trembled as he asked, "What is this?"
I looked at this ghost thing and sneered, "It's a ghost monkey. No wonder my talisman water can't cure it." They still didn't understand, so Shen Bing asked me what a ghost monkey was.
Ghost monkeys are actually ghosts of monkeys after they die. Humans have souls when they die, and animals will also become ghosts when they die. Just like a few years ago in our town, a family buried their dog under a jujube tree after it died. Dead bodies cannot be buried in a yang house, whether it is a human or an animal, especially under the roots of a tree. The roots of a tree gather water veins, and water is yin, which can best nourish the spirit of ghosts. The common folk practice of planting a tree on a grave is similar to this principle.
So since that family buried the dog under the jujube tree, accidents often happened in the family, either car accidents or people suddenly had seizures like epilepsy. But after searching for scammers like Mr. Luo and finding no problem, they finally found Master Mao. This evil woman was really good. She saw that there was something wrong under the jujube tree at a glance. She asked them if there was anything buried under it. They said there was a dead dog. Master Mao asked them to dig it out immediately, burned the dog's bones into ashes with a spell, and performed rituals for two days. The family has been safe since then.
Monkeys are usually more spiritual than humans. Moreover, they have been absorbing the spiritual energy of the mountains for so many years that they are almost becoming spirits. After their death, they are definitely more spiritual than human ghosts.
After listening to my explanation, they all felt quite curious, because they used to think that only humans would become ghosts, but they didn't expect that monkeys could also become ghosts after death.
"Master Xi, following you really broadens my horizons." Qu Mo said with a smile.
"Who knows if he is talking nonsense? Anyway, we don't know." Shen Bing said unconvinced.
I smiled and didn't bother with her. This girl always likes to make trouble for me, I'm used to it. If she complimented me, I would find it abnormal.
"Don't hold on to this thing, just kill it. It looks creepy." Wang Zijun was frightened by the ghost monkey's cry and said to me with fear on his face.
I nodded. In order to prevent it from harming other hikers, it must be killed. I asked Shen Bing to take out the half bottle of Erguotou from my bag, unscrew the lid and sprinkle the wine around me in a circle, just enough. Then I jumped out of the circle, tightened the red line with my left hand, put the peach wood sword into the bag, took out a wet yellow talisman, chanted the fire spell, and threw it into the wine circle.
With a "bang", a circle of flames ignited in the circle of wine and drinks. I recited two ghost-killing spells and threw the ghost monkey into the circle of fire.
The ghost monkey suddenly let out a terrible cry, and flames instantly ignited all over its body, but it was tied up by the red line, twisting and struggling on the ground, unable to escape. Even if it broke free from the red line, it could not escape the circle of fire. That was a formation to kill ghosts and demons. No matter how powerful you were, once you entered this circle, you would never get out again.
Shen Bing looked at the miserable state of the ghost monkey in horror, with more pity in her eyes. This girl was very soft-hearted and could not bear to see such a horrific scene. She must be feeling sorry for the ghost monkey.
Soon, green smoke began to rise from the burning ghost monkey, and its body gradually disappeared. As the smoke dissipated, the screams also stopped.
