The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 7 Head Down

However, Grandpa's addiction to cigarettes fell again, and he said he wanted to smoke a bag of cigarettes before telling Xia Xiangxi.

Xia Xiangxi was always thinking about how his grandpa had left off talking about how to deal with Misty Fairy, but after his grandfather finished smoking, he forgot what he had just said, and talked about Huanhuan.

Grandpa said that Huanhuan got lost and stayed in the mountains until dawn.All demons and ghosts are afraid of the dawn, and when the rooster crows, the Misty Immortal's confusion formation will be broken.But things changed when Huanhuan came home.The family members only knew that she was confused by the Misty Fairy because she didn't come back all night, and they didn't know that other things happened to her.

Huanhuan's family didn't know anything, and of course grandpa didn't know either.Until Xia Xiangxi came back from Phoenix City yesterday and met the injured man.Grandpa said that the young man Xia Xiangxi wanted to save was not a human being, but a ghost!

Xia Xiangxi yelled "Ah" in shock, because he was panting heavily, and shrugged his shoulders.

Grandpa waved to Xia Xiangxi to show her not to be afraid.Said: "People are afraid of ghosts. In fact, ghosts do not harm people at will. Most of the time, the most harmful thing is the ghost hidden in people's heart. Even if it is a ghost, people have chances to meet."

Xia Xiangxi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while thinking to himself, forget about such a chance, she doesn't want it!
Grandpa continued to talk, the shadow under the old locust tree is the place with the heaviest yin energy in the world, and Xia Xiangxi happened to be passing by at the time when night ghosts are most likely to show up, so that there will be Xia Xiangxi the day before yesterday. scene.

As the saying goes, prescribe the right medicine!Huanhuan's sweetheart was originally suffering from a cold, and it would be better if he took some medicine to cure the cold.This illness has nothing to do with ghosts and gods at all, but Huanhuan insisted on asking a shaman to treat her illness, so naturally she only harmed her sweetheart.What people fear most is obsession.That young man was obviously dead, but Huanhuan was still trying to revive him by evil means.This evil way is the head lowering technique that is forbidden by the Miao people.

The night Huanhuan met Mi Muxian lost his way, he entered the mass grave by mistake.

A person who knew how to lower the head was buried on the mass grave. This head lowering technique originally originated from the Miao nationality, and it is of the same family as the Miao Gu. Later, it spread to Southeast Asia, and combined with the local witchcraft, it became another school of evil. surgery.Unlike Miao Gu, it is more ruthless and domineering.Therefore, it is forbidden for Miao people to practice this technique.During the period of the Republic of China, there was a Han family who forged a grievance with a family in Xiaomiao Village. The son of the Han went to Southeast Asia to learn the technique of lowering the head and came back to take revenge on the Miao family. The surgery backfired and died tragically.After that, the person's grievances persisted, and he died as a guest in another country, turning into a wandering earth ghost.

That night the earth ghost met Huanhuan, and when he heard Huanhuan's sad cry, he wanted to take advantage of Huanhuan.The bewitching Huanhuan dug out the body of her sweetheart.Huanhuan thinks that the earth ghost is helping her to revive her sweetheart, but in fact the earth ghost is using Huanhuan to practice ghost surrender.

Huanhuan's sweetheart died and couldn't rest in peace. His soul and body were tortured by Huanhuan, and he couldn't be reincarnated, so he appeared under the old locust tree and wanted to use Xia Xiangxi to save him and ascend to heaven.

The night before, Grandpa and Ma Po went to find Huanhuan, and then followed Huanhuan to find the earth ghost.Xia Xiangxi's dreams that night were all true.It was only because Ma Po was quite capable and the earth ghost had a keen sense of smell that he was afraid that he would spot it, so Ma Po borrowed Xia Xiangxi's body.It was only because Xia Xiangxi was born in a cloudy year, a lunar month and a cloudy day, that his horoscope was full of yin, and his body had the most yin energy, Ma Po borrowed Xia Xiangxi's body so that the earth ghost would not be noticed.

As for how grandpa and mother-in-law got rid of Huanhuan, who was already half human and half ghost, grandpa mentioned it in one word, and only said that Huanhuan splashed corpse oil on Xia Xiangxi's left arm that night.As for what the corpse oil is, grandpa said that it is inconvenient to elaborate on this, lest Xia Xiangxi would be afraid.Grandpa said that Xia Xiangxi was stained with corpse oil, but he would be fine after washing it with rooster blood before dawn.However, Aunt Ma felt sorry for her chickens and stole other people's hens to make up for it, which delayed the delay.However, he has already tried to make up for it, and told Xia Xiangxi not to worry, this matter is over.

When talking about this, Grandpa's eyes were full of thoughts. Xia Xiangxi felt that the matter might not be as simple as what Grandpa said, but since Grandpa said so, she didn't want to expose Grandpa's thoughts in vain.Grandpa often said that fate is determined by the sky, and Xia Xiangxi used this sentence to comfort himself.The so-called blessing is not a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, if her life is poor, then there is nothing she can do, she can't blame others!
In fact, because Aunt Ma was stingy and used a hen instead of a rooster's blood, it caused Xia Xiangxi's future misfortune, and also caused his grandfather's death, but this is a matter of the future, let's not talk about it for the time being.

When Grandpa said this, he sighed for a long time, and said to himself, "Everything is fate!" Then he sighed for a long time, and then said to Xia Xiangxi, "There are some things that Grandpa wanted to keep until the end. In a breath of breath, I told you that this accident happened now. Grandpa will tell you! Anyway, it’s something you need to know sooner or later!” Speaking of this, the sound of the rooster crowing came from outside, and the east wing room The lights in the house were also on, and Ma Po got up.Grandpa swallowed back what he was about to say, and told Xia Xiangxi that he still had something to talk to Ma Po, and asked Xia Xiangxi to hurry up and take a nap before it was bright, and talk about today's business later.

Xia Xiangxi could only agree and go back to her room.She closed the door but left the door open, and saw Grandpa walking from the corridor to the East Wing, and said something in a low voice, Ma Po came out soon, tucking her hands behind her head as she walked out. Hair without a hood.

Miao women don't have the habit of cutting their hair. They keep their hair long since they were young.This mother-in-law is in her early fifties, but her hair is long and black, which Xia Xiangxi has always envied.

Grandpa didn't know what he said to Ma Po. Ma Po let down her combed hair, nodded to Grandpa, and went back to the room. Meter long black hair.

Xia Xiangxi was startled, and only then did he understand what Grandpa meant, that he asked Ma Po for her hair.There is no woman who does not cherish her hair, especially the long hair that has been raised for so many years. Xia Xiangxi saw that Ma Po cut her heel-length hair, and felt unspeakably sorry for Ma Po.

Grandpa took the cut hair, and Ma Po combed the rest of the waist-length hair, said something to Grandpa, and then went back to the house.Grandpa held the lock of hair in his hand and didn't go back to the room. Instead, he went down the stilted building, and he didn't know where he went.Xia Xiangxi was both curious and worried about Grandpa, so he quietly followed.Unexpectedly, he was discovered by his grandfather within a few steps, and his grandfather was not very confident and shouted at Xia Xiangxi, "Ni'er, go back to sleep!"

Xia Xiangxi had no choice but to stop.To be honest, she didn't sleep all night, and fell asleep when she touched the bed when she returned to her room, and she slept until almost noon.

Xia Xiangxi remembers his grandfather who would go out before dawn, he got up, and when he went out, he saw his grandfather squatting on the corridor smoking a dry cigarette "ba da, da da".Seeing that Xia Xiangxi woke up, Grandpa said that there was no meal left for her and asked her to go to the kitchen to cook something for herself.

Xia Xiangxi saw that it was almost time for lunch, so he said he wasn't hungry, and ate the uneaten breakfast together at noon.After speaking, he moved the bench and sat next to grandpa to bask in the sun with grandpa.

"Look at that comrade who is a soldier!" Grandpa pointed to the left direction with his cigarette stick.Xia Xiangxi looked in the direction of his grandfather's cigarette pole, and saw a man in military uniform helping a Miao people pull a kicking cow in the distance.

It was too far away, and Xia Xiangxi couldn't see the soldier's appearance, but saw the cow flailing its hind hooves like crazy.

Grandpa said: "The cow is the most spiritual animal! It is disobedient there, not because it doesn't want to work in the field, but because it sees dirty things!"

Xia Xiangxi was taken aback, she knew what grandpa meant by dirty things.Folks call ghosts and ghosts dirty things.Did it go to hell in broad daylight?
Grandpa said, "It's not a ghost! It's a little ghost!" The contradictory words made Xia Xiangxi confused. He didn't understand the logic of his grandfather?

Grandpa also knew that Xia Xiangxi couldn't understand him, so he explained it and said, "That young man is not very good, he was cast down by ghosts. There are little ghosts around him trying to harm him. Cows are psychic, and they can see ghosts and gods." , it saw the little devil next to the young man, that's why it was so scared!"

Xia Xiangxi was startled, and hurriedly asked his grandfather, "What should I do?"

Grandpa smoked a cigarette with a calm expression, as if everything was under control, and said slowly: "The skill of the person who descends from the ghost is not good enough, and he will not be able to hurt anyone temporarily. Ma Po and I are good at dealing with ghosts, but the technique of decapitating the head is an amateur Well, now I can only watch helplessly, and wait until I find a way to catch the person who cast the ghost, and then I can break the spell!"

Xia Xiangxi was a hot-tempered person. Hearing that someone was going to suffer, she felt anxious for something, but her grandfather said that she couldn't help for the time being, so she couldn't help it.

Grandpa said that it was a girl named Huanhuan who did the crime.Now, when grandpa mentioned this, Xia Xiangxi knew that grandpa and Ma Po hadn't found Huanhuan yet.Grandpa and Ma Po found out that Huanhuan was practicing the head drop technique, which made her hope of resurrecting her sweetheart come to naught. She was no match for Grandpa and Ma Po, and all her resentment was vented on those comrades who came up to the army up.

Xia Xiangxi immediately became depressed when he heard what his grandfather said.The person who thinks Huanhuan should hate should be her.If she hadn't met that ghost asking for help on the way back, Grandpa would never have heard about that ghost.Those soldiers just happened to come to the Miao Village today, and happened to get involved in this matter, so Huanhuan misunderstood.

"Is there really no other way?" Xia Xiangxi suddenly became trivial, muttering in a low voice, aiming at grandpa again and again.

Grandpa finished smoking a pot of cigarettes, tapped the soot in it, and said, "Of course there are, but it's just not in a hurry for the time being!"
