unscrupulous spirit catcher

Chapter 36 Ghost Grass
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the heavy rain falling like thousands of troops, they did not dare to delay any more and hurriedly found a cave to take shelter from the rain.

Song Yu picked up a handful of banana leaves from behind and looked at them. There was nothing special about them. It was just a handful of grass picked up in the mountains.

The Miao people are indeed very mysterious.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and seeing that they couldn't get out, they simply lit a fire in the cave and sat down to rest.

"It seems we won't be able to make it to Jian's home tonight." Gu Beiqi said.

Peng Ying said: "If you can't make it, you have to leave. You can't spend the night in the mountains. As you just saw, there are many things in the mountains."

He chewed the mugwort leaves, touched the bank notes on his body, and felt a little more at ease when he had money.

Song Yu looked at the three Feitian people quietly in the firelight.

There are nine Jiudings, not only this one, the news of Jiuding here is not certain, and it is not enough for them to risk their lives.

She suspected they had ulterior motives.

"Feitian and the others thought I was naive and didn't have any brains in this area. They tied me to come to Jiuding. I want to see what they are going to do. Anyway, if things go wrong, I will run away."

And Gu Beiqi was also sizing up Song Yu.

He has a good temper and reads a lot, but he is not pedantic. The more critical he is, the calmer and calmer he appears. He is a very well-mannered person.

Looking at Song Yu's uncertain face under the firelight, he thought to himself: "Who is the person who released the spirit? Could it be her? The mastermind behind the scenes can't be illiterate."

Everyone had different thoughts. Two hours later, the rain stopped.

As soon as the rain stopped, the sky turned into a blue-black color when day and night meet. In half an hour, the sky would get dark.

"Come on, we've been delayed for too long." Peng Ying got up and left, holding a hatchet to clear the way ahead.

He walked in the mountains all year round, wearing only a pair of straw sandals, but his feet were like nails, gripping the ground firmly, and he walked very steadily.

Others had a very difficult time walking.

After finally reaching the top of the mountain, when I was about to go down, I suddenly saw a little light.

Too far away, the light became a sparse star in the darkness, swaying up the mountain.

There was also a clear ringtone.

"It's a sacrificial team, stay away." Peng Ying led everyone to hide in the darkness.

Although he was only half a Miao, he respected the sacrifices very much. He didn't care what happened to others. He knelt on the pine needles on the ground and waited for the arrival of the group of sacrifices.

The people who came walked very quickly, and not long after, this light came in front of everyone.

The person holding the lantern is a woman. She is dressed very grandly. She has a wide coat with big sleeves that are connected to the floor. The collar and sleeve edges are thickly decorated, with brilliant colorful wings. Her head and body are covered with silver ornaments.

The bell-like sound was coming from the silver jewelry on her body.

And she didn't know what she was chewing in her mouth. She took a full mouthful, and her expression and actions were not like ordinary people.

Behind her were about twenty Miao people, all dressed in black, colorfully embroidered, and wearing silver jewelry. Even the men were the same.

The four men at the front were carrying a stretcher, with a gray-faced man lying on it. His abdomen was still rising and falling slightly. He should be a dying person.

This group of people did not continue walking up, but stopped at a strong wind outlet.

After the woman stopped, she spat out what she was chewing, and it turned out to be a mouth full of uncooked rice.

When the raw rice was sprayed out, the woman lowered her head, carefully identified the pattern, and then began to chant the mantra.

"If the divination is right, you will be cured of each disease; if the divination is true, you will be cured of each disease. Take away the copper rope that binds the head, remove the iron rope that binds the feet, take away the copper knife stuck in the waist, and remove the iron dagger that twists the abdomen. ."

Her voice had no fluctuations, was hoarse and weird, and she had a slightly sick look, which made her look very charming under the weak light.

Those people behind him also knelt down like puppets, and the sound of breathing could not be heard from their silent faces.

Song Yu silently touched the goosebumps on his arms.

This scene is really unbearable.

After finally waiting for the woman to finish speaking, everyone stood up and left, but they left the person they carried behind.

When the lights disappeared, Peng Ying stood up and explained to them: "These are witch aunts. They are women who have been sick for a long time in the village. They received guidance from the gods and started to perform divination for witches."

Song Yu pointed at the person who died completely: "What kind of burial method is this?"

People just leave them here?

Peng Ying said: "They are black seedlings from the Panhu Shangsu branch. I don't know much about some of the customs. But I just heard her divination and it turns out that this person was haunted by wind and ghosts. Maybe he wanted to put them here to drive away the disease and then go back to bury them." .”

As he said this, he also felt something was wrong.

Even if you want to get rid of the disease, you should take it to Panhu Temple. Why do you stay here?

eccentric.

Daozang wanted to step forward and read a scripture, but Gu Beiqi stopped him.

"No matter why it is put here, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster, let's leave quickly."

Whether it was the Miao people's sacrifices or the turmoil of spiritual creatures, he became very vigilant.

At this moment, there was a sudden "rustling" sound in the forest.

snake?
No, such a big movement would be much bigger if it were a snake.

Most likely a spirit.

Song Yu immediately tensed up his nerves.

The three Feitians also had solemn expressions on their faces.

A weird sacrifice has just been done here, and there is still a person who has just passed away. Any movement now seems weird.

Soon, in the dim light, the thing making the sound appeared.

Grass?
There are many grasses climbing up from the cliff at the wind outlet, with distinct stems and leaves. The leaves are round like pearls and dark and dull.

And rootless.

These grasses swam like snakes, some emerged from under fallen leaves, and they all looked the same.

They gathered around the corpse, and then burrowed through every hole in his body.

After all the grass had gone in, the man stood up unsteadily and walked down the mountain swaying left and right.

He recovered and was going home.

Song Yu looked aching all over, as if he himself was in trouble.

"Is this also Miao witchcraft?"

Peng Ying trembled as if he had seen a ghost: "No, no, I don't know what the hell this is."

Song Yu said: "Shouldn't you Miao people take it for granted?"

"That, that's not the case." Peng Ying trembled and waved her hands, feeling that the scene just now seemed like a dream.

The banknotes in my arms started to feel hot to the touch.

Gu Beiqi said: "This is called ghost grass. It only lives in dark caves. If it is exposed to light for a long time, it will wither. If it leaves the nest, it will look for a host to avoid being exposed to the light of the sky."

The sun, moon and stars are all heavenly lights, and they can only be completely avoided if they penetrate into a person's body.

Song Yu said: "What will happen if that person is parasitized?"

Gu Beiqi said: "Just like this, the walking dead will leave when the corpse rots."

Although this spiritual creature would not do anything to living people, the group was still frightened and wanted to get down the mountain as soon as possible.

The body in front had disappeared, and only the five of them walked forward in the dark, and finally reached Jianjiaao.

There was deathly silence in Jian's house, not even the sound of insects could be heard.
