Chapter 150: Collecting Souls

Chapter 150

"Got it, auntie, it's getting late, go get busy, we should go too!" Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, I got up and said goodbye to my auntie.

Daniu then stood up: "We're leaving, I'll come see you when I have time!"

When we were about to leave the house, my aunt told us repeatedly: "Yangjia Pond is haunted by ghosts, you two must not contract it, if something happens, it will be troublesome!"

Daniel said: "Don't worry, after hearing what you said, who would dare to contract? Right?"

I nodded: "Yes! Let's go to another village to see, this pond is so evil, we will never contract it!"

"That's good! Then I can rest assured! Go back and say hello to your mother for me, goodbye!" Auntie said goodbye to us.

After the aunt left, Daniel's face became very ugly: "Xiao Gu, what do you think of this matter?"

I said: "Do you remember what my aunt said just now? When Yang Shuling died, she was wearing flowered clothes and braids. Do you remember what my sister-in-law said? She said that she met a little girl by the pond that day. , wearing flowered clothes and braids!"

Daniu was startled, with a surprised expression on his face: "You mean, the strange things that happened to Tingting were all caused by this Yang Shuling?"

I nodded: "Yes! Very likely!"

"Then what should we do? How can we cure Tingting?" Daniel knew that his daughter-in-law had been hit by a ghost, and seemed a little at a loss.

"I have something to do tonight, come with me, go to the small shop at the entrance of the village to buy some incense paper money!" I pulled Daniel out of the courtyard.

We bought some incense paper money at the small shop, and also bought two little girls made of paper, colorful, with rosy faces, and looked a little scary.

Daniel looked at me puzzled: "Xiao Gu, what are you buying these things for?"

I slightly raised the corners of my mouth: "I pay homage to Yang Shuling, and ask her to come out and talk!"

"What?! You want to invite ghosts out to talk?!" Daniu was so frightened that his hair stood on end, he tugged at my clothes: "Xiaogu, you...are you kidding me?"

"Do you think I look like I'm joking? Don't be nervous. This little female ghost has no morals. At best, she is just a low-level wraith. When the time comes, you can just follow me, it's okay!" I patted Da Niu Daniu's shoulder trembled like an electric shock.

It was getting dark, and Daniel and I had a light meal and two glasses of wine at a small restaurant at the entrance of the village.

Before dinner, I asked Daniel to call my family, make up an excuse, and tell my family that I would not go back tonight, so as not to worry my sister-in-law.

Daniel said: "Before I left, I told my wife that I will go to work in the city for the next two days!"

The two of us drank wine slowly at the entrance of the village, watching the afterglow of the setting sun cover the fields little by little.

This scene reminds me of my grandfather. Sometimes when I come back from school, I will see my grandfather sitting at the gate of the courtyard, with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette, sipping a small wine, squinting his eyes to watch the sunset.

Daniel peeled a peanut and threw it into his mouth: "Xiaogu, are you really sure tonight?"

I smiled slightly and put down my wine glass: "Brother Big Niu, you don't believe me?"

Daniel grinned awkwardly: "No! I didn't mean that! I was just a little nervous, you know, I... I have never seen a ghost since I was a child..."

When the word "ghost" was mentioned, Daniel's voice was very low.

"To tell you the truth, I have met even more powerful evil spirits. I really don't pay attention to this kind of little female ghost!" I said with some pride.But I'm telling the truth. With my current cultivation, I can easily deal with this little female ghost. Even a ghost like Cao Yue can be easily subdued by me. I really don't care about mere grievances.

"Have you ever met a ghost?" Daniel stared at me in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

"Come on, have a drink, let me show you my methods tonight!" I raised my glass and smiled.

The sky darkened, and the village was silent, like a black cloth, with sporadic lights shining through.

The night in the countryside is always so peaceful.

The night breeze was blowing, we checked out and walked out of the restaurant, all the way to Yangjia Reservoir.

Occasionally, you can hear dogs barking, floating in the endless night sky, and you can also hear some insects and frogs, adding to the sense of silence.

Da Niu shivered and followed me. I asked him if he was afraid. Da Niu rolled up his collar: "How can it be? I just drank some wine and felt a little cold!"

I knew he was nervous, so I smiled and didn't poke him.

Soon we came to the Yangjia Pond. Originally, there were few people going out in the village at night. In addition, after the Yangjia Pond was haunted by ghosts, at night, there were basically no ghosts here. It was desolate and quiet, only Thick darkness.

"Go, go down!" I jumped into the pond first.

Daniu gritted his teeth and jumped down.

We came to the center of the pond with one deep foot and one shallow foot. The mud was not too deep and submerged our ankles.

"Wow!" Daniel suddenly howled.

"What's wrong?" I stopped.

Cuckoo!Cuckoo!
A toad croaked and hopped away.

"No...it's nothing..." Daniel wiped the cold sweat off his face: "Damn it! A toad suddenly jumped on my instep, which gave me a big jump!"

I smiled and said, "Brother Big Niu, you were famous for being courageous in the past, but now you have become so timid?"

Daniu blushed: "Brother, you know I'm terribly nervous, so stop making fun of me!"

"Think about sister-in-law and you won't be afraid. After tonight, sister-in-law will be cured!" I said.

Daniel nodded: "Yes! For Tingting's sake, I'm afraid of what kind of bird he is. When I see that little girl later, I must beat her ass hard!"

"Just here!" I stopped and started to prepare the waxed paper money.

I asked Daniel to insert the two paper figurines in the mud, and then light two incense candles.

The two clusters of flames swayed gently in the night wind, appearing very faint, and could only reflect two dim circles of light.

Daniu and I shared half of the paper money and started burning paper for Yang Shuling.

Green smoke curled up, and the flames burned brightly.

In the middle of the night when you can't see your fingers, two people stand in the abandoned pond to worship the souls of the dead. Anyone who sees this scene feels panicked.

I grabbed a handful of paper money and threw it in the air. When the night wind blew, the paper money flew all over the sky, like a group of circling butterflies.

"Yang Shuling, come out! Yang Shuling, come out!" My voice fluctuated up and down, as if crying out for a ghost.

"Will she really come out?" Daniel raised his head and looked around, his nervous face froze.

A moment later, a gust of wind blew by, and the flames of the two incense candles flickered suddenly, turning into a strange blue.Then the burning flame suddenly jumped up to Lao Gao, and I felt a chill in my heart, knowing that Yang Shuling had appeared!

A cold, lifeless girl's voice came from behind: "Who are you? Why did you come to worship me in the middle of the night?"

The girl's voice was unusually ethereal, as if it was far away in the sky, but also seemed to be close at hand. Anyway, it was not spoken by a living person.

Daniel and I hurriedly turned our heads and saw a little girl crawling out from under the mud, first her head, then her arms, then her body, like a radish growing out of the soil.The little girl wore two braids, her face was dirty and muddy, and she was wearing a flowered dress.

The picture of Yang Shuling emerging from the mud reminds me of a classic Japanese ghost film "Midnight Ring", except that the scary female ghost in the movie crawled out of the TV in a strange posture. It came out, and the effect was very shocking.

"Oh my god!" Daniu is an ordinary person after all, he has never seen a real ghost before, his legs became weak immediately, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, his face was as pale as paper, and his burly tiger body couldn't stop trembling crazily: " Don't...don't come...don't come..."

"You are Yang Shuling?" I stepped forward and stood in front of Daniel.

Yang Shuling looked at me dully: "Mom! I want to find my mother! Do you know where my mother is?"

"I know! Your mother asked me to pick you up, come with me, I will take you to find your mother!" I waved at Yang Shuling.

"Really?" Yang Shuling looked happy, and took two steps forward, but suddenly stopped: "No! Mom said you can't go out with strangers casually, I don't know you, you are a bad person! You are a bad person!"

Yang Shuling's ghost image began to shake, and her face gradually became fierce.

I flipped my wrist, and there was a soul-absorbing talisman upside down in my palm. I probably sensed the ghostly aura on Yang Shuling's body, and the cinnabar charm on the soul-absorbing talisman actually showed flickering blood.This kind of soul-absorbing talisman is specially used to collect those lonely and wild ghosts. Of course, it is useful for ghosts with low ghost power, but it may not be effective against ghosts with too strong ghost power.

"Yang Shuling, you didn't go to reincarnation at such a young age, but instead stayed in this wilderness to harm people. Today I will do justice for you. Even if you are young, I will not show mercy! Duh!" With a flick, the soul-absorbing talisman in the palm turned into a ray of light and shot at Yang Shuling.

I saw black shadows flickering, the soul-absorbing talisman was empty, and Yang Shuling disappeared.

I looked back at Daniel, only to see that Daniel was covered in cold sweat, and he was so frightened that he was stupid.

Standing proudly in the middle of the pond, I shouted towards the empty pond: "Yang Shuling, I advise you to come out obediently, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

I yelled three times in a row, and everything was quiet except for my own echo.

I snorted coldly, and a trace of anger welled up in my heart, this little female ghost really didn't shed tears when she saw the coffin, don't blame me for being merciless.

"One last time, will you come out?" I said loudly.

"Oh! Mom! Xiaogu, help! Xiaogu—" Daniu suddenly screamed in horror from behind.

I turned around, and saw that Daniel seemed to be being pulled by an invisible force, and he kept sinking under the mud. The mud had already submerged his chest, leaving half of his head outside.
