The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 10

Xia Xiangxi told his grandfather what he thought, and his grandfather looked surprised at first, and looked at Xia Xiangxi in surprise, as if he didn't believe that these words came from Xia Xiangxi's mouth.Xia Xiangxi immediately lost her confidence. She felt that her grandfather definitely disapproved of her idea. Just now she was talking like firecrackers, but now she seemed to be speaking in a quieter voice, like a suffocating flame. It was like kicking twice, and the ignition couldn't even make a sound.

"Go on, why not?" Grandpa actually smiled, looking at Xia Xiangxi with a smile.It seems that the wrinkles in the ditch are filled with sunlight.

Xia Xiangxi seldom saw grandpa smile, as if her grandpa's smile in her memory was erased by an eraser, she only remembered the mottled marks.

When grandpa smiled like this, Xia Xiangxi was confident enough to explain his thoughts in detail. Grandpa sat there listening so absorbedly that he forgot to smoke, and the fire in the smoking pot was slowly extinguished.

Grandpa didn't know that the smoke pot had been extinguished, and only found out when he smoked it. Xia Xiangxi hurriedly helped grandpa light the smoke pot. The cigarette butt flickered in the smoke pot, and a strong acrid smell filled the room. , drifting away curlingly, grandpa coughed violently a few times.

Xia Xiangxi said, "Grandpa, quit smoking."

Grandpa said after a long while, "I've been smoking all my life, what are you doing quitting it!"

Grandpa finished smoking, propped up his bony body, and said to Xia Xiangxi, "Ni'er, go back to sleep!"

Xia Xiangxi asked: "Grandpa, how do we deal with Huanhuan?"

Grandpa seemed to be very sleepy, he waved his hand at Xia Xiangxi, Xia Xiangxi didn't dare to ask any more questions, and came out obediently.

That night, Xia Xiangxi didn't sleep well.She had a dream, dreaming of He Xuan.It seems that she chatted with He Xuan for a long time, what she was talking about, she completely forgot when she woke up.When I saw He Xuan, He Xuan had just come back from the outside, her hair and shoulders were covered with grass ash, and her body still smelled of smoke.The girl's house always liked to be clean, but Xia Xiangxi's nose was choked by the smell of He Xuan's body, so he didn't have the nerve to persuade him to wash and change, so he stepped aside after saying hello.

He Xuan said: "Everything is done, you can tell grandpa!"

Xia Xiangxi looked at He Xuan's back, not understanding what he meant?She didn't know, Grandpa knew.Grandpa said that Ma Po borrowed Xia Xiangxi's body last night just to talk to He Xuan.

Ghosts can possess people's bodies, and people with Taoism can separate their souls and attach themselves to those who want to possess them.It's just that a ghost possessing a person's body will take away one's lifespan. For a person like Ma Po who is separated from the possessed soul, it will hurt her own vitality very much.

This is the second time that Ma Po has possessed Xia Xiangxi, this time it took a long time, and grandpa said that Ma Po has lost a lot of vitality.Usually Ma Po wakes up early, but today I saw her sleep until noon, and when she woke up, she was still not very energetic.

The mother-in-law got up there, but Grandpa told Xia Xiangxi to go to bed so that she could refresh herself.Xia Xiangxi thought Ma Po would borrow her body at night.It wasn't until evening that I realized that was not the case.

Xia Xiangxi came up with the idea, but when it works, grandpa is in charge.He Xuan and his comrades in the army were all atheists at first, after experiencing the incident of He Xuan being murdered by Huan Huan, they would believe it in their hearts, it was all a matter of separation, Xia Xiangxi was also wrong.Anyway, they cooperated quite well, which made Grandpa feel satisfied.

Xia Xiangxi only found out after hearing what her grandfather said. Ma Po used her body to explain some things to He Xuan last night, and did some things, but when she was doing those things, Xia Xiangxi was completely controlled and didn't know it at all. .

At this moment, Xia Xiangxi knew the name of Huanhuan's sweetheart, he said it was Qi Hao, he was only 20 years old, he was a well-known good soldier and guy in He Xuan's army.After Xia Xiangxi heard this, he subconsciously glanced at He Xuan, as if he was evaluating whether He Xuan was a good guy in the army.

He Xuan felt that Xia Xiangxi was looking at him, and he also glanced at Xia Xiangxi, and even smiled. Xia Xiangxi's heart immediately fluttered. She couldn't stand He Xuan's smile, which made it easy for her to have a Miao nationality in her mind. The young man looked as if he could seduce someone's soul, Xia Xiangxi felt quite terrified.

A soldier named Xiao Wu was holding a black earthen jar, which was said to contain Qi Hao's ashes.Last night, Ma Po used Xia Xiangxi's body to tell He Xuan that they cremated Qi Hao's body.Xia Xiangxi was quite strange, thinking that grandpa or mother-in-law could directly explain such things to He Xuan, why did it happen so much?

Grandpa said that it was because Ma Po is a person who can pass through the yin, (passing the yin means passing from the yang to the underworld.) She can see ghosts, and ghosts can see her, so she did this to avoid being noticed by Huanhuan.

In addition, Grandpa was not idle last night and went to find Huanhuan's home.Huanhuan's family didn't know that Huanhuan was dead, and his grandfather didn't tell them, he just said that he figured out where Huanhuan was and could help them find her back.Huanhuan's family believed in their grandfather very much, so they found a piece of clothes, shoes and socks for Huanhuan according to what grandpa said, and asked Huanhuan's family to dispose of them according to what grandpa said, and then grandpa told them to wait for Huanhuan. ring back.

Huanhuan's family members didn't know that grandpa used some ancient methods to call on Huanhuan's soul with the help of them, so that Huanhuan's soul would temporarily return to his relatives, and it would not hinder He Xuan and the others from completing what they wanted to do.

Gossip less, just talk about the moment.Grandpa said that if the yang energy was too strong, Huanhuan would not dare to come over, so he sent away several of He Xuan's comrades-in-arms, leaving He Xuan behind.Grandpa didn't beat around the bush with He Xuan, and told him directly that Huanhuan hated him and that Huanhuan would be attracted here only by keeping him here.He Xuan didn't say anything, but nodded to show that he understood.

Grandpa and Ma Po started to set up a formation, and Ma Po spread a pile of ashes around the stilted building.He said it was grass ash, only because Xia Xiangxi felt like it. Later Xia Xiangxi realized that it was some of Huanhuan's favorite clothes during his lifetime, especially the bridal dress she wore when she and Qi Hao got married.Grandpa said that just like the paper money burned for the dead relatives on Qingming Festival, the things used by living people are burned to ashes, and they become clothes that ghosts can use when they arrive in the underworld.These clothes are all Huanhuan's favorites during her lifetime, and she will definitely be able to attract her to pick them up.

Grandpa also used the ink fountain to pop up seemingly messy but organized grids on the ground.It was only later that Xia Xiangxi realized that his grandfather was setting up a net formation, as long as those lonely ghosts who refused to live in peace after death entered into this formation, they would not be able to escape.It's a pity, if grandpa was a few years younger and his body was stronger, it would be fine. To deal with Huanhuan this night, grandpa still overestimated his current ability.

Grandpa called He Xuan again to catch a white rooster from the coop downstairs.The white rooster had red strings tied to its feet and a bow tied with red silk around its neck. I don’t know who was so dexterous to make a black hat for the rooster. Xia Xiangxi saw the big white rooster dressed up like this, Laughing out loud, she hurriedly held back her laughter when she saw her grandfather staring at her seriously.

The incense table was prepared long ago, and the earthen jar containing Qi Hao's ashes was covered with a bright red cloth, and it was placed behind the incense table.Next is Xia Xiangxi and the big rooster that represents Qi Hao paying homage.These are all Xia Xiangxi's ideas. She has calculated that Huanhuan loves Qi Hao deeply. If she knows that she and Qi Hao are married, she will be jealous to the point of madness. Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for her to be as cunning as usual , it is easy to fall into the trap designed by Grandpa and Ma Po.

When Ma Po burns the yellow paper, the wind blows vigorously.Like a power outage, all the lights on and off the Diaojiao building went out.There was no need to look elsewhere, Xia Xiangxi also knew that the lights were still brightly lit elsewhere.Ring is almost here.

The silver bell on the veranda of the stilted building was already tinkling slightly, and Xia Xiangxi could feel the air suddenly turning ice-like.The big rooster next to it suddenly screamed "Ge Ge", and it always seemed to run away before. Xia Xiangxi held it with red silk, but it was still running around in circles. The similar one settled down, and stood there majesticly, very imposing.

Grandpa was sitting on a chair at one side, but he seemed to notice something and stood up all of a sudden, staring at the big rooster with sharp eyes like sharp arrows, Xia Xiangxi also felt that something was wrong, look at Grandpa, Looking at the big cock again, I panicked.

Ma Po asked Grandpa a word in Miao language, Grandpa nodded, and then began to recite Qi Hao's birthday horoscope, and began to set the stage according to the rules of making yin relatives.

Under the command of his grandfather, Xia Xiangxi had just bowed to the incense table when the silver bell on the porch rang crazily.This time, Grandpa and Ma Po seemed to be on the verge of a big scene, and they were all ready for battle.This time Huanhuan really came.

Grandpa and Ma Po were waiting to deal with Huanhuan, and Huanhuan didn't care about being on guard. When she appeared, she wanted to take away the big rooster that Xia Xiangxi paid homage to.However, there is a difference between yin and yang, and the white rooster is a folk treasure that wards off evil spirits with the same name as black dog blood and black donkey hooves.As soon as Huanhuan's hand touched the white rooster's feathers, it made a "stinging" sound as if it was roasted by fire, accompanied by a puff of green smoke and a pungent stench.

Grandpa stabbed towards Huanhuan with a mahogany sword, Huanhuan obviously didn't see it, but when grandpa's sword arrived, Huanhuan dodged it lightly, as if she had eyes on her back and eyes on the back of her head.Huanhuan didn't fight against grandpa, except for hiding, all her attention was on the big cock.

Xia Xiangxi didn't know how to cooperate with his grandfather, so he just stood there stupidly.Undoubtedly, He Xuan was more bewildered than her. Xia Xiangxi and the others could see Huanhuan, but he couldn't. Just like what grandpa said, hell is all about chance. At this time, Huanhuan didn't want He Xuan to see her. He can't see it.

Huanhuan still couldn't catch the white rooster, and in order to guard against the attacks of Grandpa and Ma Po, she kept dodging. Her red dress was fluttering in the wind, swaying like A messy kite fluttering in the wind.

Ma Po used a bowl of chicken blood and the white rooster head that she had prepared, and sprinkled them all over Huanhuan. The chicken blood fell on Huanhuan's dress and immediately burned spots of holes. Huanhuan was like a pig. Aoao screamed, his face became as hideous as he wanted!

In a frenzy, Huanhuan set the target of venting her anger on Xia Xiangxi, and her silver hook-like nails grabbed Xia Xiangxi's pretty face.
