The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 167 Getting Started With Ghosts
Grandpa and the fifth master talked for a long time outside the thatched cottage, and then went into the thatched cottage together.I stayed for a long time and didn't see him.

Xia Xiangxi and the others were already hungry by now.When I came out, I also brought some food, at least to cushion my stomach.Xia Xiangxi also brought some food to Grandpa, but was stopped by Ma Po, saying that if they were hungry, they would naturally come over to ask for something to eat, so don't disturb them for now.

Xia Xiangxi just gave up.Seeing Shi Wei's face always full of gloom, Xia Xiangxi made a simple harpoon out of a tree branch with local methods, and called Shi Wei to catch fish in the stream not far away.Wanting to divert Shi Wei's attention.

The stream was already wider than Xia Xiangxi felt when he looked at it from a distance, and it was considered a small ditch.Xia Xiangxi was a little worried, because he couldn't see how to catch fish.

Shi Wei glanced at Xia Xiangxi, gave her a useless laugh, grabbed the harpoon from Xia Xiangxi's hand, tied her trouser legs with grass leaves, and went down into the river.

When Xia Xiangxi saw Shi Wei's appearance, she felt that she had a unique experience.In the mountains, in addition to the crystal clear streams and springs, ordinary rivers should be paid attention to. Because of the special climate conditions in the mountains, there will be a lot of leeches. The soft-bodied insects are not big, but they can kill people. You must be careful.

Xia Xiangxi saw Shi Wei constantly turning around in the water and watching, when she saw a level rise on the water surface and slight ripples, she stabbed down the harpoon fiercely, fiercely!A silver carp weighing more than half a catty was inserted by Shi Wei.

Xia Xiangxi clapped her hands happily, and praised Shi Wei with a smile. Shi Wei's mood suddenly became high, and she asked Xia Xiangxi to collect firewood, and they grilled fish later.

Things like emotions are most afraid of being bored. The more bored, the greater the accumulation of resentment, and the faster the emotions will naturally be.Now Shi Wei has diverted her attention, and Xia Xiangxi is the same age again, as soon as the conversation started, the two of them began to have endless conversations.

Shi Wei also said that in addition to learning witchcraft, she also learned martial arts and archery.

Xia Xiangxi naturally understood that martial arts and archery were more practical in the mountains.Both self-defense and survival.Using witchcraft can also deal with a zombie wild ghost, but thinking about using witchcraft to deal with living beasts, or using witchcraft to conjure some edible food, that is all futile.

Wild ghosts can conjure up food, but it's all a cover-up. It looks delicious and okay, but after eating it in the stomach, it will kill people, because it's either a stone or a toad, and it can be as disgusting as it is poisonous. !

As for Shi Wei's archery skills, Xia Xiangxi has already learned it. If Shi Wei's arrow hadn't saved her that night, what would have happened to her?
Speaking of the corpse monkey, Xia Xiangxi had another topic.

Shi Wei said that there lived a very powerful old witch in this mountain, who specially raised a lot of evil living Gu to harm people, and the corpse monkey was one of them.Shi Wei and her father were almost killed by the old witch because they lost their way in the mountains and strayed into the territory of the old witch.Later, for some unknown reason, the old witch saw a family jade pendant on Shi Wei's father, snatched the jade, released them, and gave them antidote.

Shi Wei thought it was quite strange at the time. Although her father's jade pendant was a family heirloom, but because their ancestors were all poor, that piece of jade was at best considered a piece of jade. Not worth a few bucks.The only thing is that because of getting along with each other from generation to generation, wearing it for a long time, in accordance with the old saying "people raise jade, and jade nourishes people.", the surface of that piece of jade has become smooth and round, and there are no other advantages Well, Shi Wei really didn't expect that such a piece of worthless jade would save their father and son.

Xia Xiangxi just said something casually at this moment, maybe that old witch has some relationship with Shi Wei's family!Who knew that the prophecy would come true in a short time, but that will happen later, so there is no need to mention it now.

By the time grandpa finished talking with that fifth master, the sun was about to set.Fifth Master was still sitting in the thatched cottage, while Grandpa walked to Xia Xiangxi's side.Xia Xiangxi hurriedly brought a fish that had been roasted a long time ago and gave it to grandpa.Grandpa seemed to be in a particularly good mood. The glow of the setting sun shone on his face, as if the sun had been planted on it. Grandpa's complexion was incredible.

Xia Xiangxi also became happy with her grandfather.Thinking of my grandfather meeting his old friend in this foreign land after more than half a century, the joy is beyond words.

Grandpa ate while boasting about the smell of fish.

Xia Xiangxi smiled and said, "This grilled fish is almost salty, otherwise it would be more delicious!"

Grandpa, however, is the best fish he has ever eaten.

Xia Xiangxi knew that grandpa was really overjoyed. When he was in a good mood, food became a supporting role, and he could taste happiness with whatever he ate!

Grandpa finished eating, and wiped his hands on the grass leaves on one side. Xia Xiangxi wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief. Grandpa smiled at Xia Xiangxi. It has been a long time since the two of them felt so relaxed and happy.

It's just that happiness is the easiest to stimulate people who have just suffered misfortune. Shi Wei began to wipe tears from the side.

Only then did Grandpa tell Shi Wei that he had already asked clearly about the grievances between Shi Wei's ancestors and the fifth master, but he couldn't tell Shi Wei yet, until after the zombies were properly disposed of tonight.

As for the ghost gate that Xia Xiangxi needs to open, in fact Xia Xiangxi has known for a long time that it is the place she went to with He Xuan to save her grandfather. According to legend, it is the ruins of a house where a Han witch once lived.There is a peach tree that always bears green and astringent peaches, just on the line of ghosts.

It was only now that Xia Xiangxi knew that she was actually the one who could open the gate of hell. When she and He Xuan went there to save Grandpa, they thought it was because of the method Ma Po said that they opened the gate to the underworld. of.

Does a person with a full yin horoscope represent a step away from the underworld, so they have such abilities that others cannot have?Xia Xiangxi didn't know whether to be lucky or have other feelings?
Since it's the second time here, Xia Xiangxi got acquainted with it once and twice.Everything is done according to what grandpa said.Shi Wei and Ma Po stayed away from here, they couldn't let there be too much yang energy here, and the other two of them couldn't help much.

The fifth master was holding the soul-destroying bell in front to lead those zombies to this side, and the grandfather was driving him behind. They walked slowly. Lead the zombies here.

It was already dark, and it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, so the night was very dark and dense.Xia Xiangxi pasted the yellow talisman on the peach tree, then silently recited a few seven-character formulas, and then shouted "Open" to the peach tree, the yellow talisman pasted on the peach tree would spontaneously ignite without fire. After the yellow talisman was burned out, an extremely cold air flow came from the northeast.Xia Xiangxi knew that the ghost gate had been opened.

The fifth master kept shaking the dementor bell, singing and listening to the bone-chilling Divine Comedy, and after some practice, Xia Xiangxi saw that the bodies of the zombies began to jerk, and then "thumped", With a "plop", Qiqi lay down straight on the ground.In a short while, Xia Xiangxi saw male ghosts of different ages, sitting up from the zombies on the ground, walking to Xia Xiangxi one by one under Wu Ye's order.

The appearance of ghosts is mostly what their bodies looked like when they died, and what they look like now.Xia Xiangxi saw all kinds of scary ghost faces.There is a headless ghost, holding its head in its own hands, with broken arms, short legs, disemboweled and other horrible forms.

The only thing that is consistent is the eyes on those ghost faces, as if the long-awaited long-cherished wish has finally come to an end, their eyes are full of the desire and excitement of going home!
There was a young male ghost, walking in the procession, suddenly saw Xia Xiangxi, and stopped in front of Xia Xiangxi, looking at Xia Xiangxi greedily.

Xia Xiangxi didn't pay attention at first, but when he realized that the group of ghosts suddenly stopped leaving, he raised his eyes and saw the male ghost just in time.At the beginning, the male ghost still looked like half of its face was shattered, but when Xia Xiangxi looked at it, in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a man in a white mandarin jacket, the kind of greasy-haired and powder-faced boy in the [-]s.She even cast a wink at Xia Xiangxi, Xia Xiangxi frowned suddenly, and her heart was immediately painted gray.

Since he couldn't take the initiative to make grudges with these ghosts, Xia Xiangxi pretended not to see them, and shouted "Go quickly", and the male ghost took a few steps forward, and then backed away.The ghost behind was blocked by it, and impatiently squeezed him away and walked over.Until all the ghosts behind were gone, the greasy-headed and pink-faced ghost was still standing there looking at Xia Xiangxi.

It was the fifth master who cursed loudly, broke off a thin peach branch from the peach tree, and slapped the ghost on the back, so the greasy-haired and pink-faced ghost had no choice but to walk towards the ghost gate.

Xia Xiangxi was relieved to see it walk into the gate of hell.

Grandpa said, "Close the gate of hell!"

Xia Xiangxi nodded, and recited the formula again. Just as she was pasting the yellow talisman on the peach tree, she suddenly felt a white light flash from the ghost gate again...
