Chapter 78 The Beauty Snake's Hideout
The old woman was hunchbacked, wearing a gray-black coarse cloth coat and brown trousers, with a beige towel wrapped around her head, and a walking stick in her hand.Unlike appearing in my dream, at this moment she is transparent below the knees, and her face is blurred as if covered by a layer of plastic wrap.The old lady stopped about 20 meters away from us, and there were three candle lanterns that were about to go out between us.

When I first saw the old woman appearing, I was puzzled. When I remembered that she was the old woman who reminded me to be careful on the single-plank bridge in my dream, I was excited and rushed to meet her.But the strange thing is that I can't get close to the old woman. She is always about 20 meters away from me. I walked to the place where the old woman was standing just now, but now she is still so far away in another place.

I simply stopped in my tracks, Gao Qingli and Wang Dachui also walked behind me, looking at the old woman together.Gao Qingli said that ghosts can't catch up with people who don't want to be close, unless there are magical weapons acting on them.Wang Hammer said that this sister-in-law is coming or not, maybe she wants to tell us something, but it is a pity that ordinary ghosts are unable to speak directly to people.

After thinking about it, I thought it made sense. After all, ghosts are not entities, so without vocal cords, they cannot make sounds.If they want to talk to people, they can only enter their dreams, or they can use human vocal cords to complete it, that is, they can be possessed by ghosts or spirit mediums.If people and ghosts must be able to talk directly, then only ghosts that are strong enough can do so, that is to interfere with people's auditory nerves and make people have hallucinations to hear ghosts' voices.The reason why Tongtong let me hear her is because she ate more than a dozen virgins. When she was a fish, she was half demon and half ghost. Now she can be said to be half immortal and half ghost.

Ghosts and ghosts can communicate. At this time, I was going to call Tongtong out to help, but Wang Dachui was one step ahead of me. He took out a round red cloth bag the size of a Coke bottle cap from his body.After he muttered something to the little cloth bag, a light golden ball of light like a firefly fell out of the cloth bag, and after falling to the ground, it turned into a small figure as high as a person's thigh, swaying Shaking, he walked up to the old woman.

I have long heard Grandma Ye Feiji say that Wang Hammer has four ghosts and a snake vulture spirit Gu, and the snake vulture spirit Gu was picked up, but how he got the four ghosts and what skills he has is a matter of fact. Unknown.Gao Qingli said in an envious tone, Wang Hammer, your golden boy color is much stronger than the last time we caught the old landlord at Qiaoxikou.

Wang Hammer didn't make a sound. After the golden figure walked up to the old woman, they both disappeared suddenly. I hurriedly asked Wang Hammer what happened.He didn't answer me, but Gao Qingli said that not every ghost can manifest for a long time, Wang Hammer's golden boy can, but this old woman may not be able to.

When I think about it, I think what Gao Qingli said makes sense. Not every ghost is so capable. Many ghosts appear for a short moment, so someone sees a ghost passing by, but it is the same as turning around and disappearing. .

About 2 minutes later, the golden figure released by Wang Hammer reappeared, and it staggered back as if drunk, and finally turned into a firefly, and got into Wang Hammer's round cloth bag.After putting away the small cloth bag, Wang Hammer smiled awkwardly at us, saying that he was too focused just now, so he didn't respond to what we said.Gao Qingli and I waved hands, saying that there is no need for such an apology, and we don't care about it, but you have to tell us what the golden boy asked.

Only then did Wang Hammer put away his smiling face, and told us with a serious face that, except for going to the top of the mountain to absorb the essence of moonlight on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, the beautiful snake usually hides in a tablet in a small ancestral hall in a nearby village.

The three of us couldn't help sighing, this beautiful snake is too cunning, but it's no wonder that the beautiful snake has lost its snake body and exists in a spirit state, and no one will find it if it hides in the village.But here comes the problem, since the beauty snake no longer has a body, that is to say, where does the bone come from without a body, it seems that Gao Qingli's plan has failed.I asked him that the beautiful snake is hiding in the spirit tablet, which means that it is really in a spirit state. Even if it is caught, where can I get the snake bones to make medicinal wine for him!
Qingqing Lai Yangtian smiled and said to me that you don't understand, as long as the demon snake soul is still there, you can take the body of other snakes for your own use, just kill them and take the bones after half a month of grinding.I secretly admired it when I heard it, isn't this the same reason as Grandma Ye Feiji's human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum?An ordinary body with a super soul will eventually be reborn, and the achievements of those who practice are basically added to the soul. The body is always flesh and blood, and the decisive role is still the soul.

Knowing that the beautiful snake was hiding in the village, we immediately packed up and went down the mountain, and followed Wang Hammer to a village outside. Unexpectedly, this was the village of Ye Feiji's cousin.It was close to three o'clock at night, and there was no light on in the village, and the village under the moonlight looked so desolate.

The beautiful snake is hiding in this village. Although I am standing outside the village at this moment, the snake curse on my forehead has been temporarily suppressed by the bronze knife, so it cannot track my whereabouts like before.

In order not to startle the snake, Gao Qingli proposed to come back at noon tomorrow, and then there would be no problem with the cooperation of those who can make decisions in the village.Wang Hammer and I also agree, it is now midnight, making a big noise will not only disturb the whole village, but also make the beautiful snake run away, and it will be difficult to find it then.

We made an appointment to meet at the entrance of this village at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and then we each left, and I rushed back to Grandma Ye Feiji's house.Grandma Ye Feiji had already told me that the key to the door is usually hidden in a hole in the kitchen wall, so that I don’t have to wake her up to open the door when I come back in the middle of the night.

I found the key and opened the door and went to bed without taking a shower, because it was already five o'clock in the morning, and I had to leave again at eight o'clock, taking advantage of these three hours to catch up on sleep.I got up at 1:[-] a.m. and went out at [-]:[-] a.m. yesterday. I have been tossing around for a day and a night since I came back. My whole body was sore, and I walked for a day and a night and climbed a mountain. So I fell asleep in less than a minute when I came back. .

I continued to sleep until eight o'clock, and I reluctantly got up at nine o'clock, and hurried out on my bicycle without breakfast. If I didn't have a bicycle, I would get up at eight o'clock and walk.

Walking on the road, I couldn't help being depressed for a while. Ye Feiji slept until ten o'clock every day and still received such a high salary.But seeing that she is a girl and I have to take care of Misaki, I have a lot of balance in my heart.

Before ten o'clock, I arrived at the entrance of the village mentioned last night. Wang Hammer was already waiting there. He was still wearing the clothes he wore yesterday, and he had an extra bottle of rice wine in his hand.After asking, I found out that he didn't go home in the early morning, but went to sleep in a small house by a fish pond not far away.Gao Qingli lived far away and hadn't come yet. Considering that it took him two hours to walk home and two hours to come, it only took two hours to sleep.

Wang Hammer and I were waiting at the entrance of the village, and it was only at 10:30 that we saw HD Lai rushing in, carrying the wooden box from yesterday in his hand. Seeing how he was struggling, he knew that the box was much heavier, and the things inside were sure. More than yesterday.

After Gao Qingli arrived, we went straight into the village, and I led the way to Ye Feiji's cousin's house. His daughter-in-law was washing clothes at the door, and she was displeased when she saw that I was empty-handed and brought Wang Hammer, a "beggar". .Of course I knew she couldn't be the master at home, so I ignored her and went straight into the house. Uncle Ye Feiji was peeling corn in the house, and was very happy to see me.

My uncle smiled and said that the first corn he picked this year was delicious!We've come just in time.After a while, the cousin's son, Ye Feiji's cousin, came back. When he saw the sloppy Wang Hammer, his face flashed a bit of displeasure, but he still pretended to be polite, greeted him and smoked.

I can see all this, I am not in vain to trouble people this time, after saying a few words, I took out 200 yuan from my pocket and said that I would ask my cousin and his son to help.Ye Feiji's uncle's daughter-in-law was also there, and she didn't give us a good look at the door just now. Now that I offered 200 yuan, she immediately became polite, and went back to the room and took out some persimmons to entertain us.

Ye Feiji's cousin didn't accept the 200 yuan, and said he could just ask for anything he could help, and it was all his own people who talked about the money.But I told him that the money was paid by a big boss, and I was just doing things for the big boss. If I don’t accept the money, I will lose a lot, so he smiled and asked his son to accept it.

Then I told Uncle Ye Feiji and his father and son the purpose of our trip to the village. They were all very surprised when they heard that the demon snake was hiding in the spirit tablet of the ancestors in the ancestral hall of their village.Although the father and son had doubts about what we said, they dared not believe it, because the snake curse on my forehead was caused by killing thousands of snakes with my cousin.

After listening to Uncle Ye Feiji, he went to the village and called three people. One of them was the village head named Wu, and the other two were also people who spoke well in the village. One was Wu Yingxing and the other was Wu Yingde.After we talked for a while, they all expressed their willingness to provide us with assistance, and I was very kind, and promised to buy a pig for the village to kill after catching the beautiful snake, and each household would share a few catties of pork.But in order not to cause panic, this matter needs to be kept secret, as if something in the ancestral hall is broken, please ask someone to repair it.

After everything was discussed, Village Chief Wu took us to the entrance of the ancestral hall. This ancestral hall was built with blue bricks.

We stood at the gate of the ancestral hall for more than 20 minutes without going in. This kind of thing is best done at night, but preparations must be made during the day.I saw Gao Qingli opened the box, took out a few long black nails from inside, and nailed one on the ground along the corners of the house in four directions outside the ancestral hall.
