Taboo Master

Chapter 248 Two Ghosts

I quickly followed Lan Ning's finger to look, but there was a large rice grain stone standing there. From a distance, it seemed to be no different from other stones. The color was slightly yellowish, and it was covered with bite marks There are traces of it, and some peeled pieces are scattered beside it.

"Is there any mystery here?" I asked Lan Ning.

"My lord, you don't need to ask too many questions. Let's go and see." Lan Ning suddenly winked at me and whispered.

I wondered in my heart, followed Lan Ning unconsciously and walked over.

Carefully stepping on the stone under our feet, we walked to the stone that Lan Ning said, but I didn't find anything. This stone, or the rice grain, seemed to be the same as the one next to it.

I was about to ask, but Lan Ning raised his finger at me and made a gesture of silence, then quietly went around to the stone, looked with his head, suddenly covered his mouth with a smile, beckoned to me, and beckoned me to go over .

I became more and more puzzled, what kind of mystery is Lan Ning doing?Is there anything interesting under the rock?

I also walked over, looked down along the stone, and couldn't help but smile too.Because just under this stone, there is actually a ghost lying on its stomach.

The pose of this ghost is quite funny, its whole head is buried under the stone, it seems that it is trying to hide itself, but its buttocks and body are exposed, just like an ostrich, and it is trembling tremblingly, looking very scared look.On closer inspection, the ghost turned out to have a big belly, as if she was pregnant. No wonder it couldn't get in.

There are actually ghosts living in this place. I thought those ghosts were all inside the wall of the old lady's room, and they had been eaten by the yellow skins summoned by Shao Peiyi. I didn't expect...

"Come out, you've been spotted, and you can't hide." Lan Ning said with her hips crossed, making a fierce look, but she is still a kind woman by nature, and she can't be fierce, just like Jieyu. It's much worse than that.

As expected, the ghost didn't listen to her, but twisted its body and burrowed a little deeper. I saw it funny, so I stretched out my hand and pulled it out, lightly, and threw it to the side. Looking at us in fear, he plopped down and sat on the ground, trembling all over.

This ghost has a simple head and a simple head, not tall, with frowning eyebrows, and looks a little careless. I laughed to myself, kept my face straight, and asked: "Where are you from, you little brat? You came here?" , Ghosts like you, how many more are here, what is your purpose, answer honestly, otherwise you will suffer."

I put on a cold brow and looked at the experts in the world, and shouted with a serious face. For ghosts, they are generally bullying and fearing hard. I have to be tougher to make this ghost answer honestly, otherwise I can’t scare it. It's about to scare me.

But this ghost didn't react much, it seemed frightened, it looked at me blankly, then at Lan Ning, as if it didn't know what to say, its eyes kept looking sideways, its mouth opened several times, but He didn't say a complete sentence, and his face was full of tension.

Seeing that it didn't speak, I asked it several times, but the result was the same. Not only did this ghost not speak, it didn't even cooperate with me at all. of.

Its performance made me a little curious. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t speak. What is it always looking to the side, trying to escape?

Lan Ning and I looked at each other, curiously followed its gaze and looked aside, but suddenly found that there seemed to be something moving quietly under the place where it was lying on its stomach just now.

Lan Ning was quick-eyed, and immediately shouted, "There's another one down there!"

My hand was fast enough, so I rushed over and put my hand in, grabbed it, and immediately caught another thin and dry ghost, but this guy was obviously much smarter. Shout out and beg for mercy.

"Sister Immortal, please forgive me..."

Angry and funny, I threw it on the ground and scolded: "You are blind, who is the fairy sister?"

The ghost turned over and fell to the ground, but with a plop, he knelt on the ground, his eyes rolled around, and he probably saw that there were two people standing in front of him, a man and a woman, and immediately kowtowed and shouted: "Two great immortals!" Forgive me, I'm just a poor little ghost, I'm here to eat and drink, please be merciful, don't kill me..."

It shouted for mercy here, and the foolish ghost next to it also knelt down after imitating its appearance, bowing and babbling, but it couldn't be heard at all.

I waved my hand and said: "Be honest. Whether you can survive depends entirely on your own attitude. Since you are living here, I will ask you a few words. If you answer well, you will be able to live. If you dare to fool me , then I would be very angry."

The two of them kowtowed and begged for mercy constantly. It seemed that they both regarded Lan Ning and me as gods, and I didn't say anything, so I asked him three questions. First, why are we here.Second, where are the other ghosts?Third, what's up with the skull in the wall.

After I finished asking, the two ghosts stared at me with big eyes, but neither of them spoke. I looked around, pointed at the smarter ghost and said, "You come to answer the question, well said, first I let you go."

The ghost responded again and again, with a look of joy on his face, and hurriedly told his situation in detail.

It said that it was actually just a small hungry ghost, and it was a ghost with external obstacles. It wandered in the wild and open places. For hundreds of years, it had never seen water, and it had eaten very little. , due to the induction of karma, whenever it goes to the fruit tree, the tree will dry up into firewood in its eyes, and whenever it sees food, the food will rot, or there will be many guardians, Chase it away and keep it away.

In this way, after many years, it suffered a lot, but one day it accidentally heard the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva and the six-character mantra.So it got a certain relief immediately, and came here with a wandering soul. When it saw the clear water and white rice, it was so overjoyed that it plunged in and never went out again.

The other ghost is a ghost with internal barriers. This kind of ghost is different from ghosts with external barriers. It can eat food, but its throat is as thin as the eye of a needle, and its abdomen is as big as a basin. It is always empty stomach. The food is basically the same, and once you drink a little water and eat a little food, you will have to endure the pain of burning in the stomach at night, and the internal barrier ghost is often parasitized by many little hungry ghosts, which makes it even more painful.

The two of them came together by accident, so they both stayed, because there are not only food here, but also people chant scriptures day and night, often listening to the name and scriptures of Bodhisattvas, and the pain has been relieved a lot. The internal barrier ghost could not even make a sound because his throat was too thin, and now he can speak simple monosyllabic words.

But in this place, there are actually a lot of hungry ghosts coming and going, but they all leave after eating, and none stay, so this ghost with external obstacles is very happy, and stays here secretly, and its food is better than other ghosts. a little more.As for the inner barrier ghost, it was because of the sympathy of the outer barrier ghost, and the inner barrier ghost was a bit silly in temperament. In fact, the outer barrier ghost didn't want to see it go out to suffer, so it tried to keep it, so, Although the place inside is large, only the two of them live.

Later, the old lady who gave food to the hungry ghosts passed away somehow. The night before she left, she just prepared such a last glass of water and a cup of rice, so these hungry ghosts have survived till now. Yes, the last food is gone, I guess those hungry ghosts will feel resentful, the consequences are unimaginable.

The words of this external barrier ghost basically explained my first two questions, and it seemed that it couldn't explain the last question, about the skull, but finally frowned and thought hard for a long time, and said to me , those other hungry ghosts are not like it, staying here should be related to the skull in the wall, because that thing seems to have a very strange summoning power, which can make the soul body involuntarily want to blend in, it I have always known the existence of that skull, and I am very afraid, and it is for this reason that it chose to stay.

I couldn't help but slapped my hands. This guy is really smart. It turned out that he stayed here to eat and to avoid disaster.

At this moment, I decided that I would call it a ghost in the future. I smiled and asked it, since it knew the existence of the skull, who put the skull should also know, right?
But this time, this clever ghost shook his head and told me that the skull was there when it came, so it has no way of knowing, but it is certain that it is a harmful thing. Similar to Miao Jiang's voodoo technique, or spells such as ghost dao.

I nodded. It should be telling the truth and not lying, but unfortunately, it is not very clear.

But this is not important, the investigation is like peeling off the cocoon, and there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed.

Lan Ning smiled and said to me, it seems that this old lady is really a good person, but it is a pity that she seems to have been murdered.

I nodded, expressing my agreement with her point of view. The old lady gave food is a matter of great merit, but she died unexpectedly in just two years. This situation is actually a bit abnormal, but I didn't say anything. Ghost, I already have an idea in my heart...
