The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 203 Ghost Old Woman

In addition to the fact that Xia Xiangxi has a horoscope of all yin, and the yin energy on her body is relatively heavy, another reason is that when she first came to Miao Village, she was mistaken for a ghost by the silver bell on the veranda when she approached the stilted building for the first time The reason is the same!
In fact, freezing to death with ghost bones cannot take away the yang energy in Xia Xiangxi's body!

Xia Xiangxi didn't feel that the will-o'-the-wisp would hurt her further, so she was no longer afraid of the will-o'-the-wisp.She pretended that it was getting colder and colder, and moved closer to the will-o'-the-wisp again, and deliberately squeezed Shi Wei, trying to squeeze her away from the fire.

Seeing Xia Xiangxi, the five ghosts also started to warm themselves by the fire. Although there was no emotion in their empty eyes, their faces were already much more relaxed.

While talking to Shi Wei, Xia Xiangxi squeezed Shi Wei again, deliberately poked Shi Wei with her elbow, and pushed Shi Wei's body back.Shi Wei stayed away from the fire, like an addict/gentleman without enough drugs to make her ecstasy, struggling to get closer to the fire.Xia Xiangxi took her place on purpose, pinning Shi Wei either with her arms or legs, so as not to let her get too close.

Xia Xiangxi did this to save Shi Wei, but the way they snatched the fire made the five ghosts think that Xia Xiangxi couldn't do without the fire, and their vigilance relaxed a lot.

After suffering until the fifth watch, Xia Xiangxi estimated that it was almost time, so he pretended to relieve himself, looked carefully, and found that the ghosts did not become suspicious, so Xia Xiangxi walked out of the cave in peace.She was still anxious to find out where to find the grave, but she suddenly saw a will-o’-the-wisp flickering not far ahead, knowing that there must be a cemetery there, so she didn’t dare to run, so she trotted to minimize the noise made by running, and when she arrived there The one on the side found the grave, and also found the most prominent thatch on the grave, and collected all the dew on the paper handkerchief, so that she could take the dew back.

Back in the cave, she pretended to wipe her face with a paper handkerchief, and wiped the wet paper handkerchief over her eyes. Sure enough, she saw the real face of the five ghosts, and the pile of firewood made of bones. Clusters of will-o'-the-wisps flashed with blue light and psychedelic.The effect of the dead man's tears can't last long, and it will lose its effect when it dries up.Seeing that the old woman was telling the truth, Xia Xiangxi became even more worried about Shi Wei.Wiping Shi Wei's eyelids with a wet handkerchief, Xia Xiangxi wanted to let Shi Wei see everything in front of her clearly, but she was extremely disappointed, the tears of the dead were effective for her, but not for Shi Wei.

Xia Xiangxi was terribly frightened, worried that Shi Wei had really been roasted to death by the ghost bones that had frozen all her yang energy away.She didn't dare to let the five ghosts fully understand that she was fine now, and they discovered their secrets. If they were really forced to move their hands, they would control her and tie her to the fire to be roasted for a long time. , I don't know if she can still hold on!

Minghao might have discovered the five ghosts a long time ago. If he had a temper, it would be impossible for him not to show his head this night!Xia Xiangxi understood that even if Minghao flinched at this moment, there was a reason for him, he was afraid of being caught by the five ghosts, and then he would become a dwarf, which meant that he would truly be doomed.

Xia Xiangxi actually didn't know what this "聻" was.

"魙" is the name of a ghost, and ghosts die as 聻.

"Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio: Zhang Aduan" once mentioned, "When a person dies, he becomes a ghost, and when a ghost dies, he becomes a dummy. Ghosts are as afraid of dummy as humans are of ghosts."

A person becomes a ghost after death, and a ghost becomes a dwarf after death.Ghosts are afraid of 聻, just like people are afraid of ghosts.

Thanks to Minghao's tablet, even if the five ghosts sensed Minghao's presence, they would not pay attention.This is the same as the urban management would not go to the shops with business licenses and storefronts. If Minghao is like a itinerant vendor, Minghao should be wiped out by the five ghosts at this moment.

At this time, Xia Xiangxi still needs Minghao's help, she drives Minghao with the magic of enslaving ghosts, and asks him to go outside and learn how to crow a few times.The crowing of the rooster is what ghosts fear the most, because when the rooster crows, the sky is bright and the yang energy rises. No matter how powerful the ghosts are, they dare not appear in the daytime unless they can live in the human body.

The five ghosts' attention was all on Xia Xiangxi, and they only paid attention to Shi Wei, and they didn't care much about Ming Hao.In this way, Minghao escaped outside smoothly, pretending to be crowing.

The five ghosts got scared when they heard the rooster crowing, and they didn't even think about whether someone was pretending to be a rooster.Xia Xiangxi lowered her head and warmed up the fire, which also made the five ghosts think that Xia Xiangxi had been roasted to death by ghost bones and lost her yang energy and heat. Those who couldn’t live without the fire exchanged glances with each other, and the man in glasses who led them added a lot of frozen ghost bones to the fire, so that they believed that this dark cave with no light could still be enough for the will-o’-the-wisps to burn At night, a few ghosts disappeared in an instant.

Xia Xiangxi waited for the five ghosts to disappear before hurriedly summoning Minghao back to the tablet. She carried her and Shi Wei's backpacks on one arm, and helped Shi Wei out of the cave with the other hand.

Shi Wei's body was as cold as if it had been frozen on ice, and she could hardly feel the temperature.The body was also as stiff as a zombie. Xia Xiangxi walked with her with great difficulty. Shi Wei's legs seemed to be turned into wood, and they scratched the ground making a rubbing sound.Xia Xiangxi gritted her teeth. In order to save Shi Wei, she didn't know where she had so much strength. She put her arms around Shi Wei's waist, and dragged Shi Wei, who had become like a robot, to walk forward with difficulty.

That ghostly old woman said that when Xia Xiangxi rescued Shi Wei, she would appear, but now that it was dawn, Xia Xiangxi had no hope, and only wanted to stay away from that cave and go somewhere else Hiding, setting up an enchantment with a spell, temporarily hiding her and Shi Wei.

While walking, Xia Xiangxi suddenly felt that Shi Wei's body was getting lighter, and when she was startled, she looked at Shi Wei's side, and it turned out that the ghost old woman had appeared at some point, she was only holding Shi Wei's clothes, Xia Xiangxi already felt that Shi Wei's weight was as light as a leaf.

"Go quickly, I won't be able to help you later!"

Xia Xiangxi nodded and quickened his pace.They came to a tomb, and the ghost old woman said that it was her home, so Xia Xiangxi felt wronged and went to her house to hide.Xia Xiangxi thought of the cinnabar token, and told the ghost old woman that she would take out the cinnabar token, otherwise it would damage the ghost old woman's private house.

The ghost old woman's face changed when she heard the "Cinnabar Token", but she asked Xia Xiangxi why she didn't feel that she had the cinnabar token.If the cinnabar order existed, no ghost would dare to approach Xia Xiangxi half a step!

When Xia Xiangxi heard what the ghost old woman said, she felt that it was wrong.At this time, the tomb was split in two out of thin air, revealing a huge pit.

The ghost old woman jumped in first, and Xia Xiangxi didn't do much more because she believed in the ghost old woman, and jumped into the grave pit with Shi Wei supported.Afterwards, the tomb that was split in two was immediately closed together and restored to its original appearance, as if it had never been split at all.

After Xia Xiangxi helped Shi Wei into the tomb, it became pitch black in front of her eyes, and she was no longer in the tomb, but in three spacious rooms.

Xia Xiangxi helped Shi Wei onto the big kang, although she knew it was a coffin pretending to be dead.

"Grandma, now you can tell me how to save my friend!" Xia Xiangxi was worried about Shi Wei. Shi Wei would be more dangerous in a place with such a heavy atmosphere.

But the ghost old woman said that Xia Xiangxi was wrong, and staying here would do no harm to Shi Wei.It's like a person who has been frostbitten. The way to heal it is not to warm up to a fire, let alone touch hot water, but to rub the frostbitten hands with ice and snow.

This kind of reasoning is common sense, and Xia Xiangxi naturally understands it.At this time, I understood what the ghost old woman said to make Shi Wei recover.

Xia Xiangxi helped Shi Wei lie down on the big kang.

The ghost old woman said: "You haven't slept all night, you are tired! You can also lie on the kang and rest for a while!"

Xia Xiangxi shook his head and said that he was neither sleepy nor tired.How could it be possible not to be tired?She knew how fickle ghosts are, so she never dared to relax her vigilance.

The ghost old woman also saw Xia Xiangxi's thoughts, she turned around silently and went to another room, when she came back, she was holding a sachet in her hand, the smell of spices...

Xia Xiangxi's eyes widened suddenly, staring at the sachet in the ghost old lady's hand!
