The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 202 Five Ghosts

The old woman said, "Didn't you notice that the more you warm yourself, the colder you feel?"

Xia Xiangxi had indeed discovered it a long time ago, but he didn't know the root cause.

The old woman said: "It's not actually firewood. The fires you see are ghost fires. The firewood in the fire is not real firewood, but the bones of frozen ghosts!"

Xia Xiangxi suddenly remembered that she had discovered that there was a difference between those firewood and the firewood picked up casually on the mountain!
The old woman went on to say, "The ghosts are frozen to death, so you can't feel warm even though you are warming up to the fire. On the contrary, the more you warm up, the colder you will be. The colder you are, the more you can't leave the fire. The five ghosts wanted to The bones of the ghosts that were frozen to death sucked the yang energy and heat from your body until they froze you to death! If you died like this, you don’t even know how you died, and you have no reason to go to hell Theoretically, those five ghosts are not counted as killing and killing, and since they have arrested you and returned to the underworld to pay an errand, they still won't be punished by Lord Hades at all!"

Xia Xiangxi secretly cursed viciously, these five ghosts are despicable enough!
Xia Xiangxi asked the old woman again if there was any way for her to see through those blindfolds?
The old woman said yes, on the fifth watch, you can find a tomb at random. If there is a thatch in the center of the tomb, remove the dew from the thatch, it will be the tears of the dead, and put the tears of the dead on the eyelids. It can temporarily become the eyes of the dead, and can see things that the living cannot see.In addition, the old woman also asked Xia Xiangxi to tell Shi Wei what she said to her from time to time. People who have been roasted by frozen ghost bones have been confused by will-o'-the-wisps. The result she expected was not achieved, but instead developed in the opposite direction.

Xia Xiangxi understood what the old woman meant, just like Shi Wei was going to go east, you remind her that she may be going in the wrong direction, even if she is going in the right direction, she still has to be suspicious, this is human instinct Conscious reaction!

The old woman nodded, and then said: "This is also useful, let the five ghosts notice that you seem to have seen through the will-o'-the-wisp, and those who show your feet will definitely have pressure in their hearts, and they will make you relax your vigilance in order to make up for the loopholes. Slow down and roast you to death!"

The old woman also said that she hoped that Xia Xiangxi's friend hadn't been roasted to death, and urged Xia Xiangxi to go back quickly after she finished speaking.When Xia Xiangxi rescues Shi Wei, she will appear at that time to help Xia Xiangxi find a way to rescue Shi Wei back!

Xia Xiangxi nodded and said thank you.When she was about to reach the cave, she purposely yelled and ran into the cave.

The faces of the five ghosts were all like pig iron, but when they saw that Xia Xiangxi had returned, their expressions eased a little.

Xia Xiangxi deliberately said as if she was frightened, she was frightened by that old woman just now, and the old woman was not a human, but a ghost, and she was trying to trick her away and eat her, thanks to her extra-mindedness, deliberately He said he had a stomachache and ran to the grass to relieve himself, and sneaked back when the old ghost didn't notice!
After hearing what Xia Xiangxi said, the five ghosts didn't react at all.Xia Xiangxi also deliberately said loudly to Shi Wei: "Shangen is really not safe here, Shangen is not safe, this Shangen, Shangen..." She was thinking of mentioning Shangen, and Shi Wei would remember that it was her favorite place recently. The man above can be a little more sober.

Sure enough, this trick still had some effect, Shi Wei's eyes were like a dry well, the black eyes were like two black holes inlaid on the face, a little light flashed.

Xia Xiangxi saw the hope, and wanted to say something else to remind Shi Wei, a ghost said: "Keep the fire, warm the fire, it's great to have such a fire, otherwise we will be frozen alive this night." Die? It’s so cold outside, I feel like it’s snowing heavily outside!”

When Shi Wei heard this, her body trembled again, as if because of the ghost's words, she remembered that it was freezing cold outside, and it was terribly cold, so she moved closer to the fire again.

The man with glasses who was the most enthusiastic among the five ghosts waved to Xia Xiangxi for her to sit by the fire, and at the same time said to Xia Xiangxi, "Who told you to go out? It's better if we are more together to be safe."

Xia Xiangxi let out a "huh" and patted his chest exaggeratedly, as if he was still scared out of breath by what he saw just now.

"Come and enjoy the fire!" The man with glasses beckoned Xia Xiangxi to go to the fire.

Xia Xiangxi said "Oh", and said that she needed to add more clothes, while touching the luggage. She wanted to find a lighter for lighting a fire, so she was on guard, but when she fumbled in the luggage, she found something like a token .Only then did Xia Xiangxi remember that it was a cinnabar order.When she went to Li Xuan's tomb because of Li Xuan's matter, she met a pair of ghost mothers and grandchildren on the way, and then got it.She didn't know how to use this cinnabar token, but it was worth affirming that this cinnabar token was the easiest thing to get rid of ghosts. Even the five evil ghosts, Xia Xiangxi didn't believe that they would have a reason not to be afraid of cinnabar!

This was what Xia Xiangxi was thinking at the time. She didn't know that the cinnabar order had been buried in the tomb all year round. Seeing such a treasure to ward off evil spirits, those ghosts have long been afraid and only dared to hover three feet away from her, and did not dare to approach her at all.To restore the cinnabar order to restore its original magic power to ward off evil, it is necessary to use a special method to help the cinnabar order to "purify" and eliminate those foul odors!
At this time, Xia Xiangxi secretly put the cinnabar order on her body, and then touched the lighter. She didn't have any firewood to light, but there were a lot of firewood in front of the five ghosts, but they were not something she could burn. One step closer to death.

Xia Xiangxi thought for a while, then simply took out the handkerchief and lit it on fire.When the five ghosts saw Xia Xiangxi lighting a real fire, their expressions were like the sky under the smog, which was more than a little bit ugly.

That female ghost (there are no female ghosts among the five ghosts, and the five ghosts intentionally created the appearance of two female ghosts in order to reduce Xia Xiangxi's vigilance. At that time, I was probably afraid.), the female ghost deliberately pretended that she couldn't stand the smell of burning fabric, and shouted at Xia Xiangxi not to be so uncivil.

Xia Xiangxi smiled apologetically, and made an excuse that she wanted to use a lighter to see if the handkerchief was dirty, but who knows why it ignited.He also said that it would not be a problem, and after throwing it into the fire, it would burn out in a while, and then quickly threw the handkerchief into the fire that kept smoldering like fire snakes. With a sound of "poof", the real fire met the will-o'-the-wisp, as if water was poured on the fire, and the burning fire was instantly extinguished.

Since Xia Xiangxi already knew that these were the five ghosts of the underworld, she was not afraid that they would harm her casually like ordinary evil spirits, so she deliberately said: "Ah, what's going on? The mountain wind is blowing so hard Is it? Scrape out the fire!"

Among the five ghosts, the man with glasses moved quickly, and the palm wind moved secretly, and the fire started to burn again. It seemed that the fire had been annihilated by the wind just now, and now it was rekindled!

Xia Xiangxi originally hoped that when the fire was extinguished, she would be able to pull Shi Wei over from the side of the fire. Seeing the five ghosts light the fire again, she felt anxious and anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

However, it seemed that Xia Xiangxi was afraid that Xia Xiangxi would notice that the five ghosts did not burn the fire too vigorously, and looked a little half-dead.One of the ghosts also said, "There is not enough firewood, let's save some! The night is still long!"

Xia Xiangxi still sat next to Shi Wei, telling a story like Shi Wei met the yellow leather thing before, and asked Shi Wei that they got lost because of that yellow leather child, otherwise they would not be sleepy. In this mountain, "Where should we go? I don't think we are going west, maybe we are going the wrong way!"

When Shi Wei heard Xia Xiangxi's words, she tilted her head and looked at Xia Xiangxi with her dark eyes. This time, even the fleeting light in her eyes was gone!
The man with glasses interjected: "It's okay, we'll tell you how to get there when it's dawn! We're already familiar with this place!"

Xia Xiangxi smiled and said hello. Seeing that the man with glasses was staring at her all the time, in order to reduce their suspicion, she moved her hand closer to the fire.Unlike Shi Wei's shivering body, Xia Xiangxi began to feel that her hands were covered with ice, and there was a bone-chilling chill. After a while, she felt nothing.

At this moment, she didn't understand why the frozen ghost bones couldn't take away the yang energy and heat from her body. In fact, there was a reason for this!
