The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 26
It was a white snake.

The snake's head sprang up and bit Xia Xiangxi's forehead. Xia Xiangxi only felt a little pain. She didn't faint, but suddenly felt that everything around her was so unreal, as if it was a dream she had.

It was like dreaming about something horrible in a dream, and when I suddenly opened my eyes, I saw the sun lazily entering the room from the window, and then I wiped the sweat from my forehead, thanking myself for being a false alarm.

Ma Po's voice came loudly from the second floor.Xia Xiangxi jerked back to her senses, she felt that she must be sleepy, so she took a nap, had a dream, put the jade plug back into the jade jar, and hurriedly left the third floor with her hands in her hands .

When Ma Po saw that Xia Xiangxi had returned in good order, she felt a little relieved.Ask Xia Xiangxi to put the jade pot aside, and give her a hand to paste the paper figurine quickly, before the rooster crows, and then return to the pond, otherwise, grandpa and He Xuan's spirits will be destroyed. If you leave your body for more than three days, you will never return to your body.

Xia Xiangxi hurried to help.Occasionally, she felt a little pain between her eyebrows, so she frowned slightly, ignoring the past, saving grandpa is the most important thing now.

After Ma Po tied up the paper figurine, she sprinkled some of the fishy water from the jade pot that Xia Xiangxi had brought over the paper figurine.Xia Xiangxi watched Ma Po pouring water on the paper figurine, and murmured in his heart, isn't this superfluous?That paper figurine is made of paper, won't it break if it gets wet?Isn't it a waste of time to make this thing?
In addition, Ma Po also stuffed a black thing into the chest of the paper figurine.This is not an ordinary thing, but the most famous "black donkey's hoof" in supernatural novels. Xia Xiangxi knows that this thing is the most effective against zombies.At first she thought that the black donkey's hoof was the hoof of a black donkey, but this time she knew that the black donkey's hoof was not a black donkey's hoof, but a product of glutinous rice.In ancient times, it was said that glutinous rice has a restraining effect on zombies. The black donkey's hoof is made of glutinous rice using the secret technique of Maoshan. It is shaped like a donkey's hoof and black in color, so it is called black donkey's hoof.It is a magic weapon to restrain zombies, and it is only useful for zombies.

The night basically went well.Mapo agreed to the water ghost and tried to make it reincarnated, and it rescued the three of them from the bottom of the water.

Xia Xiangxi saw that the originally calm water surface was tumbling again as if the water was boiling, but there were three pieces of water surface protruding out of the water like lotus leaves. Looking carefully, the bodies of the three of them, Grandpa, seemed to be covered with transparent water. The plate lifted out of the water.

Xia Xiangxi immediately wanted to go into the water to save her grandpa, but Ma Po held her back, saying that grandpa couldn't go ashore yet, and Hun'er really couldn't come back when he did.Said that for the time being, let the water ghost watch grandpa and the others here, and asked Xia Xiangxi to go with her to catch the flying corpse.

Ma Po said that zombies have no brains, so the zombies trapped in the tomb cannot get out of the tomb without indirect help from external forces.

This is considered a blessing, if the flying corpse escapes from the underground tomb, it is unknown how many people will be poisoned by it.

It was also this time that Xia Xiangxi finally saw how powerful Ma Po was.Ma Po draws a spell on a stone or a leaf at will, and can order the mouse to help her lead the way to find the zombies.

Grandpa couldn't do this at all.Grandpa is a feng shui master who looks at yin and yang houses. He can use some artificial means to change the feng shui of the yang house and the yin house, so as to change the life of some people and exorcise evil spirits. However, using witchcraft to control some creatures is absolutely impossible. unable.

Just like what my grandfather said to Xia Xiangxi before, "Book of Changes in the north, witchcraft in the south." This witchcraft has been defined as a sorcery since ancient times. It is not only ruthless, but also infinitely powerful.

With the help of mice, finding zombies is easy.

Xia Xiangxi followed Ma Po and really saw a collapsed sinkhole-like hole.This time, Ma Po did not burn the pasted paper figurine like last time, but pasted a spell on it, and the paper figurine came alive.

Said he was alive, but Xia Xiangxi could still see the white paper on the paper man's body being blown up or deflated by the wind.The sound of the white paper being blown by the wind came to her ears even more clearly. Xia Xiangxi was always worried that if the wind blows it down like this, the paper on the paper figurine would be torn by the wind.

The paper man walked like a robot, but when Xia Xiangxi looked at its face, the two blobs of red on the paper face, which had been painted randomly, turned out to be charming like a real person. They all thought they were dazzled, so they rubbed their eyes vigorously, but when they looked carefully, the paper figurine was still the same as when it was muddy.

Ma Po chanted some incantations that Xia Xiangxi couldn't understand, and said to the paper figurine, "Go!"

The paper man obediently jumped down the sinkhole.

Xia Xiangxi and Ma Po squatted by the edge of the tiankeng watching the movement inside.

After just one meal, Xia Xiangxi heard the sound of "Wuwu Yaya" coming from inside the tiankeng. It was very strange, not like a human cry, nor was it an animal cry that she was familiar with.

Ma Po let out a long sigh of relief, clapped her hands and stood up, saying, "It's done, let's go back and see your grandpa and the others!"

Xia Xiangxi couldn't believe it, it was over so easily.Ma Po then said, "The jade jar is not filled with ordinary things, it is the flying corpse's favorite food, so as to attract it to eat the paper figurine, as long as it catches the "black donkey's hoof", it will melt immediately. It was a puddle of blood. The spirits of the people it was greedy for before all returned to its owner. In fact, this is not the end of the job. If the zombie is not completely burned to ashes, the zombies on it will The air will dissipate and turn into plague and cholera, and then the people in the village will be unlucky. It’s just the two of us, we can’t do those things. When the sky is clear, bring some people over to kill that Damn it!"

Xia Xiangxi said, "What's in that jade jar?"

Ma Po only said, "You will know in the future!"

Xia Xiangxi can't stand this, some people just like to say half of things, let your curiosity hang there forever, guess, and then get confused again.

However, after she and Ma Po returned to the pond, Xia Xiangxi was so focused on saving his grandfather that he forgot about it.

When they rushed to the pond, they saw that He Xuan had just rescued his grandfather from the water, and the mariya was still flopping about in the water, unable to get up.

Ma Po cursed a few words loudly, threw a stone into the pond, and then Marie was no longer that landlubber, and swam towards the shore desperately. He Xuan waded into the water again, and took Marie Pulled to shore.Marie was panting like a cow.

Xia Xiangxi noticed that there were women's hair-like things wrapped around his legs and feet, and she knew it must be the water ghost who wanted to use him as a substitute just now.

Grandpa and He Xuan didn't know what happened. They said they fell into a hole, but how could they fall into a pond in the blink of an eye?Grandpa said that he was probably following the way of the Misty Immortal, and he sighed and said that he was really old and useless, and he could be fooled by the Misty Immortal.

Ma Po knew all the truth, not only didn't explain it, but she didn't let Xia Xiangxi tell it.Xia Xiangxi thinks this is fine, let them treat it as a dream-like hallucination, anyway, people are fine.

Now even though it is April, people with wet clothes will be frozen and have a toothache.Ma Po asked Xia Xiangxi to help his grandfather go back quickly.He Xuan only thought that he was young and strong, and wanted to carry his grandfather back, but when his grandfather lay on top of him, his legs became weak and his face turned red from embarrassment.How did he know that they were sucked by the flying corpses, and they stayed under the water like a living dead for almost three days, and now they are all right, the body hasn't eaten for three days, where does the strength come from?
Xia Xiangxi helped He Xuan, and comforted him in a soft voice, He Xuan gathered his strength again, and this time he carried his grandfather on his back and went back to the Diaojiaolou.

Marie, on the other hand, acted like a woman. After walking for a while, she yelled that she was exhausted, and she didn't know how much rest she had before she reluctantly walked back to the village.Ma Po thought he was walking slowly, so she almost whipped him with a branch or something.

Back in Diaojiaolou, Xia Xiangxi hurriedly boiled enough hot water for Grandpa and He Xuan to take a good hot bath.After finally breaking through the ghost gate, it would be bad if I caught a cold and got sick again.

She didn't sleep all night, and Xia Xiangxi didn't feel tired. Grandpa came back safely, which made her excited like chicken blood.

Ma Po wasn't idle either, she found a fishing net and kept tying strips of red cloth soaked in chicken blood to it.After dawn, let Xia Xiangxi go out with her.

Ma Po also summoned the young people in the village, and asked those young people to tie her into a red cloth fishing net and wait on the shore. Go into the water and fish the water ghost out of the water.

When Xia Xiangxi saw the water ghost for the first time, he really looked like a monkey, but his whole body was covered with one or two meters long hair, like a woman's long hair growing in the wrong place, covering her whole body. like.

Xia Xiangxi still naively remembered what Ma Po promised the water ghost, but Ma Po said that she would not show mercy to the water ghost. This is one of the most ruthless ghosts in the world. stand-in.Water ghosts have no memory, ghosts are ruthless, and ghosts with amnesia are even more ruthless.And no one can change the fate of the water ghost, unless a new person falls into the pond and drowns, otherwise the water ghost can only stay in the water forever, waiting for the one who will unfortunately drown in the water It can only be reincarnated if the people in it replace it.And the next water ghost can only do the same.

So once a water ghost is born in the pond, it will be endless.It's better to solve it completely, and all the people in the village will be safe in the future.

This water ghost is powerful when it is in the water, once it leaves the water, it is like a fish jumping on the shore, and it will not jump for a long time.You can't kill the water ghost, you can only let it bask in the sun, and it will die after a long time in the sun.

Xia Xiangxi remembered that his grandfather said, "People become ghosts after death, and ghosts can die too. After death, ghosts turn into scorpions. Dumps cannot return to reincarnation." Although he knew how horrible and hateful water ghosts are, he also Because the water ghost who saved Grandpa was about to be wiped out, I gave it some sympathy for Ma Po's dishonesty.
