The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 51

When Qi Hao said this, Xia Xiangxi immediately believed him.

Before, Grandpa and He Xuan suffered from flying corpses and sucked their souls. Even Ma Po couldn't find Grandpa, but Qi Hao knew that Grandpa and the others were hiding at the bottom of the water. For this matter alone, Xia Xiangxi didn't take him When an ordinary ghost saw it.

Xia Xiangxi asked: "What's the matter? Is their house really haunted, or is it a very vicious ghost?"

Qi Hao didn't answer, just sat down on Xia Xiangxi's bed, the last time he came out of the jade cup, his human figure was much smaller, but now he has returned to his normal height before.Although there was no ghost image, Xia Xiangxi began to feel a little awkward when he looked like a big man.Just excuse him for refusing to tell the truth, and drive him back to Jade Cup, and she will go to bed too.

Qi Hao said: "Just sleep with you, I won't provoke you! Don't worry too much about it!"

Xia Xiangxi stared at Qi Hao and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are a ghost, I am afraid of you!"

Qi Hao refused to go back into the jade cup, saying that he had stayed in it for a long time and felt sleepy.Xia Xiangxi warned him again, and he turned around and disappeared.Xia Xiangxi then sighed that although Ma Po gave her this jade cup that could raise little ghosts, she never told her how to drive the ghosts raised in the jade cup.

She was so angry that she ran to the third floor regardless of the night, and found the parchment in grandpa's locust wood box.She just felt that since the jade cup came from that locust wood box, the parchment inside must also be related to the head-bending technique.

She took the parchment, and quietly went back to the room, opened the parchment, it was written in small script, traditional characters, some complicated traditional characters she didn't know, so she could only guess randomly, she just read it After one or two articles, I can't read any more. The methods used by the head-subduing master to make ghosts and practice little ghosts are too horrible, and the materials they draw are somewhat inhumane.At this moment, Xia Xiangxi also understood why the head lowering technique was so notorious.

However, she persisted until she found out how to control the kid in the book.According to the mantra, it really worked. Qi Hao, who had disappeared without a trace, appeared in front of her immediately, as if he was under the magic spell of Monkey King. A big ghost curled up in a corner with a wounded child. like.

Xia Xiangxi was a little proud, calling his name to let him go back to the jade cup obediently.Later, she felt that calling Qi Hao's name, if other people heard it, would definitely cause trouble, so she thought about changing Qi Hao's name, and it didn't take much effort, so she also thought of changing Qi Hao to "" Minghao".

When Qi Hao heard that Xia Xiangxi had changed his surname, he was very unhappy.Xia Xiangxi smiled and said: "You are the same generation as Lord Yan, and you are not happy! Besides, you are indeed a ghost! How can this Ming be inappropriate? Besides, that's what I call you, so you just treat it like a ghost." Little name, why not?"

Only then did Qi Hao calm down.Xia Xiangxi was able to control Qi Hao, so she began to use her power to ask Minghao (Qi Hao) to tell her why she was not allowed to go to Mabo's house before.

Minghao said: "There is a lot of yin there, there must be evil spirits, but I can't get close, there is a barrier there. Just don't get close, just rely on your three-legged cat's ability, meddling in your own business will hurt yourself! "

When Xia Xiangxi heard what Ming Hao said, she was a little incredulous.Is there anyone in Mabo's family who knows witchcraft?Anyway, the person who will meet should not belong to Aunt Ma, otherwise she would not come to beg Ma Po.Uncle Ma who prevented her from entering Ma's house was the most suspicious.

With a sigh, Xia Xiangxi also knew that she couldn't mind her own business. Now that her grandfather is not in good health, she can't bother him.Let Minghao return to the jade cup, and she fell asleep with her thoughts on her mind.

In the early morning of the next day, something happened at Uncle Ma's house.In such a big stockade and a mountain village, if any family yelled loudly, the echo would spread to every corner of the stockade, and it would be difficult not to hear it.

There is an echo in the mountains, which is why people living in the mountains like to sing folk songs. The echo in the valley is like a natural microphone, and the voice that can be modified is extremely beautiful.It's just that the echo this morning is a little scary.

Everyone really heard it, but there was a woman's screams coming through.But when people gathered at Uncle Ma's house, Aunt Ma came out with a smile on her face and said that she deliberately made noise to scare people.

Some villagers gave Aunt Ma a "bah" and said, "How old are you, and you are still playing around? Besides, it's scary to be so loud in the early morning!"

Aunt Ma was scolded, and she didn't change her expression, but she laughed instead. Although she looks like a young woman in her 50s, she smiles like a young woman now, with a charming smile, but the wrinkles on her face are very similar to that smile. It doesn't match, it looks very weird.

Xia Xiangxi felt that her bones were a little cold, and she could feel the ghostly aura on Aunt Ma's body, but she couldn't tell whether it was a ghost haunting Aunt Ma's body, or was Aunt Ma stuck to something unclean?
Grandpa didn't come out, and even Ma Po didn't come out to have a look. When she heard the scream, Ma Po thought her legs and feet were not fast enough, so she urged Xia Xiangxi, who had long legs and neat feet, to run over to have a look. Auntie had already closed the door and went back, so Ma Po walked over slowly, without seeing Aunt Ma's appearance.

Xia Xiangxi didn't tell Ma Po about this right away, she talked with her grandpa in front of her after returning home.

Because of illness, Grandpa's calculation ability has declined a lot. Even if Ma Po told Aunt Ma's birth date, he couldn't figure it out.

Ma Po said, "I'm going to observe incense."

Ma Po lit a stick of incense in front of the divine case, but when she inserted the incense candle into the incense burner, a ball of fire burst out from the incense burner, burning Ma Po's hand, and the incense fell to the ground.This was something that had never happened before, and Ma Po's face turned ashen.

Grandpa also turned pale. Although the alchemy that grandpa knows is different from witchcraft, there are similarities in essence. Seeing this scene, grandpa seemed to understand something, and said to Xia Xiangxi: "We all know about this matter." Don't care, you will stay away from there in the future."

Xia Xiangxi was also scared, even her grandfather was scared, and she didn't have the guts to meddle in Aunt Ma's affairs anymore.

Occasionally, she saw Aunt Ma on the stilted building, and saw her walking on the street with a basket on her shoulders, twisting her waist, her pace was not like her usual, if she didn't know that Aunt Ma was weird , she was afraid that Aunt Ma would suddenly become dishonest.

In fact, not only Xia Xiangxi, but even the people in the village soon felt that Aunt Ma was abnormal.Everyone was whispering, saying that Aunt Ma seemed to be a different person. She was usually stingy and stingy, but now she has changed her temper. Not only has she become more generous, she even looks younger and better looking.

Aunt Ma has changed, and the people in the village are obviously very welcoming.This is how it is in the human world, if you give someone a head of garlic or an onion, they will also think about your kindness. As the saying goes, "Esteem is less important than affection!"

In the entire village, the only ones who are not optimistic about Aunt Ma's changes are Xia Xiangxi and Ma Po.

Grandpa and mother-in-law would sometimes mutter something behind Xia Xiangxi's back, and when they saw Xia Xiangxi coming, they would change the subject and say something else.Xia Xiangxi could only pretend that he didn't see through anything, but his mind became more and more serious.Because of this, she suffers from insomnia at night, and she wakes up quietly when she can't fall asleep at night.Just seeing the corridor, Ma Po didn't know what she was messing with.She saw a bench in front of her face, and a washbasin on the bench, which should be filled with water. There is moonlight in the sky, and you can see the reflection of the moonlight into the washbasin.

Ma Po didn't know what she spilled into the basin, she looked at the powder.As Ma Po sprinkled, her mouth was moving, muttering something in a low voice?
After a while, Ma Po stopped and looked into the water basin. Seeing it, she seemed to see something terrible in the water. She was frightened and screamed, and her body jerked He leaned back, fell down, and even the water basin was spilled with a bang, and fell from the bench to the ground with a "bang".

Xia Xiangxi hurried over and helped Ma Po up.Ma Po patted her chest and said, "I'm terrified, I'm terrified, I really don't dare to control it..."

Xia Xiangxi could hear the meaning from the words, it must be Ma Po trying to find out what happened to Aunt Ma, but in the end not only failed, but something similar to her last incense viewing happened again.

People are always curious, and sometimes the more afraid they are, the more they want to know, and they have to figure it out before they feel that there is no knot in their hearts.

Xia Xiangxi made a special trip to Sanwanggou and asked He Xuan to borrow the night vision binoculars used by the deputy army.Real military supplies, the effect of hyperopia is also very strong when used at night.She watched Aunt Ma's house like a spy, and she didn't notice anything unusual for two nights.Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma closed the door and entered the house as soon as it was dark, and the lights were only turned off in the middle of the night, but no one came out.

Xia Xiangxi felt that this method would not work, so he changed to monitoring during the day.She hid herself early in the morning, and then used a telescope to observe Aunt Ma's house.Aunt Ma's habits are basically the same as when Xia Xiangxi lived in their house. When she got up early in the morning, the kitchen smoke rose first, and then she filled a bucket of miscellaneous grains and went to feed them with a "cuckoo" in her mouth. chicken.

Aunt Ma had always turned her back to Xia Xiangxi, but for some reason, she turned around suddenly as if she had eyes behind her back, and stared horribly at Xia Xiangxi.Under the effect of the telescope, Xia Xiangxi felt as if Aunt Ma was staring right in front of her face, her hands trembled in fright, and the telescope was crooked.

When she straightened the binoculars again, Aunt Ma's shadow was no longer visible, but Aunt Ma's voice came from downstairs on the stilts, shouting with laughter to Po Ma to go and open the door.

Xia Xiangxi's face was as white as a snowflake, his body trembled in fear, his hand was boneless again, and this time he almost dropped the telescope to the floor.
