Chapter 6 Gathering Souls and Beads (6) Scary Ghost Face

The world seemed to stand still.

I blocked my head hard, and my hands trembled slightly.

However, Mrs. Wu did not attack.

I glanced through the gap between my hands, and Mrs. Wu was standing straight in front of me, motionless.Looking up, I actually saw Uncle Geng and Hou San standing on the side.

"It's all right." Hou San shouted.

I raised my hand and saw that Mrs. Wu's two hands had been put down, and she was standing there quietly like a sculpture.Uncle Geng took the spiritual bone fan and lit it on different places on her body, just when I wanted to see clearly.Uncle Geng suddenly shouted.

"Hou San, take it."

Hou San stepped back, and the old lady Wu lay straight back, just falling on the two hands of Hou San, and then Uncle Geng and Hou San carried the old lady Wu to the birthday girl next to her. bed.

"Is it alright?" I felt my whole body warm up, and my strength slowly recovered.

"Okay. Xiao Leng, this is a good thing, let me see it." Hou San smiled and stretched out his hand to grab my left hand, wanting to see the jade turtle bracelet on my hand.

Crack, Uncle Geng hit him with a fan.

"Hey." Hou San smiled and let go of my hand.

After everything was done, Hou San and Mrs. Wu's son discussed the next matters.Uncle Geng took me and left first.It was already late at night, Uncle Geng was driving the car, and he put the spiritual bone fan in the suitcase again, but I saw Uncle Geng put a box when he released the spiritual bone fan, and that box looked heavy , there is still a faint green light inside.

"I'm scared today." Uncle Geng said to me suddenly.

"Surprised." I nodded.

"Hehe, but it's okay. Compared with the first time I saw these things, my reaction was much better." Uncle Geng smiled and took a cigarette from the car drawer.

"Uncle Geng, did you see a ghost today?" I hesitated and asked.

"Ghosts? Where do ghosts come from in this world?" Uncle Geng blew out a smoke ring, "You will know after a long time of making ancient objects. Things that have been around for a long time will inevitably have spirituality. Naturally, spirituality can be divided into good and bad. Today's matter Don't tell anyone about it."

"I heard Uncle Hou said that Mrs. Wu has a foreign object on her body. Is it this? Is this a night pearl?" My eyes fell on the suitcase.

"Grandma has a leg, this Hou San." Uncle Geng cursed, but he still answered my question, "No, this is the Soul Gathering Pearl. Ye Mingzhu is much more valuable than this."

"Ah, there is really a Soul Gathering Orb, and the legend of the witch bone comb is also true?" I exclaimed in surprise.

"It's also the first time Hou San and I have seen the Soul Gathering Orb. It's very sinister, but it doesn't work for men. But the witch bone comb is different. I hope we can find that witch bone comb sooner. It's not a good thing." Uncle Geng sighed, and threw the cigarette butt out of the window.

Regarding the Soul Gathering Orb and the Witching Bone Comb, I heard Uncle Geng talk about it when I came to Qing Ya Zhai.At that time, a man came to the store to sell a jade bead, saying that it was a soul-gathering bead passed down from his ancestors. Uncle Geng felt that it was a bit old, but he was not sure, so he invited a few friends to come over for reference.Later, it was determined that the bead was indeed an ancient relic, but it was not a soul-gathering bead.After the man left, Uncle Geng talked about the Soul Gathering Orb with his friends.

Soul-gathering beads were first passed down from some remote tribes in the southwest, and they are actually of the same nature as Buddhist relics.A long time ago, there were witch doctors in many places in the Southwest, and witch doctors were the soul of the entire tribe.Every time someone in the clan encounters difficulties or gets sick, they will ask the witch doctor for help.This custom is still preserved in some places.Every witch doctor is single, no wife, no husband and no children.After death, they will be cremated and buried by the clan.Before cremation, the left hand of the witch doctor will be cut off in the tribe. If the soul-gathering beads are found in the cremation, a witch bone comb will be made from the bone of the witch doctor's left hand.

Soul-gathering beads belong to yang, witch bone combs belong to yin, one yin and one yang, mutually restrain and complement each other.If the Soul Gathering Orb is not suppressed by the Witch Bone Comb, evil spirits will attach to the Soul Gathering Orb and cause trouble.However, some people said that the Soul Gathering Orb was just a crystal, and there was nothing ghostly about it.But witch bone combs are true. In ancient times, many people, especially those who served gods and evil spirits, would make such things after death.Soul-gathering beads and witch bone combs have always been said in ancient relics, and no one has ever seen the real thing.I didn't expect to see the real Soul Gathering Orb with Uncle Geng today.

"Xiao Leng, in fact, you have also discovered that I am not a real antique dealer. All I do are antiques." Uncle Geng said again, "There is a difference between antiques and antiques. Antiques represent ancient culture, and ancient objects are Deeper things. Antiques and antiquities are like day and night. If you want to understand something more truly, you can only be clearer in the dark. Because there are some things in this world that lurk in the dark.”

"Although I don't really understand it, I feel that you and Hou Sanshu are very powerful." I said my thoughts.

"Haha, you kid. By the way, why haven't you seen Chen Mu, a monkey recently!" Uncle Geng smiled.

"I came to the store yesterday, and sister Zhao Shan invited me for dinner tonight..." I swallowed half of my words.

"Oh, Zhao Shan is here?" Uncle Geng's expression turned dark.

"Yeah, she came to look for you, but you were not here. Then she took me and Chen Mu out." I said.

"Don't lie to me, she will come to me?" Uncle Geng sighed, his voice trembling.

"It's true, she came to look for you that day, and you were not here, so Chen Mu and I were asked to help her catch ghosts." I blurted out.

Squeak, Uncle Geng suddenly stopped the car.

"What did you do?" Uncle Geng asked.

"It's not about catching ghosts. It's just that Sister Shan is investigating the case of building No. 4 in Chenzhai recently. Don't everyone say it's ghosts pushing people." I explained.

"Oh, this girl is messing around. How can I drag you two away? What if something happens." Uncle Geng restarted the car.

"Uncle Geng, do you think there are ghosts in this world?" I asked again with an excuse.

"Xiao Leng, this is the second time I've asked this question today. Uncle Geng is so old that he doesn't believe in ghosts. However, he has come into contact with old objects a lot. I haven't seen ghosts, but spirits have seen a lot."

"spirit?"

"Spirits do exist. You have seen Mrs. Wu like that today. That is the possession of evil spirits. You can say that it is a ghost. But in all things in the world, if there is evil, there will be good, and if there is yin, there will be evil." There is Yang." Uncle Geng said briefly.

"Sister Shan took us to Building No. 4 of Chenzhai that day, and then another girl came..." I thought for a while and told what happened last night.

"It's really strange. By the way, was there anything unusual about the jade turtle in your hand?" Uncle Geng frowned and asked.

"Yes, but I can't tell. Anyway, it's very tight. It feels like my hand is going to be strangled." I recalled what happened yesterday.

At this time, we have come to Jingsan Road in the city.When the green light was about to change, Uncle Geng suddenly turned the car to the side street.Then he walked through an alley and stopped in front of a residential building.

I followed Uncle Geng out of the car, then walked through two buildings, came to a unit behind, and went up to the second floor. In front of the door on the left, Uncle Geng knocked on the door.

The door opened, and I saw Zhao Shan standing inside in her pajamas.Seeing Uncle Geng, her face was instantly as cold as ice.

"Sister Shan." I called out.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Shan looked at us coldly.

Uncle Geng didn't say anything, just walked in.

Zhao Shan closed the door and sat across from us.

"I heard from Xiao Leng that you guys yesterday..."

"What's none of your business?" Before Uncle Geng could finish speaking, Zhao Shan interrupted him.

"You really don't want to die? Even if you don't want to die, don't you care about the safety of Chen Mu and Xiao Leng? You are still a policeman, I think you should stop doing it as soon as possible." Uncle Geng was annoyed by Zhao Shan's attitude.

"What does my being a policeman have to do with you? Aren't Xiao Leng and Chen Mu on good terms? Just take care of your run-down store. If there's nothing else to do, I'm going to bed." Zhao Shan stood up and opened the door.

"Close it for me." Uncle Geng walked over angrily and closed the door.

"Sister Shan, Uncle Geng is also doing it for your own good, everyone has something to say." I hurried over and grabbed Uncle Geng.

"Okay, let's talk, I'll listen." Zhao Shan sat down again, "Are you saying it's an evil spirit? Let me tell you, what is it this time?"

"Zhao Shan, what's your attitude? I'm your father." Uncle Geng's eyes were about to burst into flames.

"You also know that you are my father? But why do I always feel that you are a godly man? Since I was a child, I have known that gods and gods talk to each other every day. I help people catch ghosts in the east and demons in the west. If it weren't for this, my mother would not have left. I don't want to be said to be the daughter of a godly man since I was a child, you said that you have caught ghosts and monsters for so many years, so let me take a look." Zhao Shan also widened her eyes, as if she wanted to say all the grievances. come out.

"Okay, you want to see it, right?" Uncle Geng walked up to me quickly, picked up the suitcase next to him, and took out the box containing the Soul Gathering Orb.

"Uncle Geng, what are you going to do?" I was startled and wanted to grab it, but it was still a step too late.
