Nightmare: Pluto's Husband Be Lighter

Chapter 119 The Family Together

After a while, Xing Boxiao stood at the door of my house.

I introduced Xing Boxiao's identity to Yunzhi, and when he saw him, he showed a clear expression.

After fooling around that this is a disciple of Qingxu Temple, my parents relievedly handed over Jiao Yazhu's matter to him.

Ignoring the look on Xing Boxiao's face because he was regarded as a disciple of Qingxu Temple, Yunzhi and I told him what happened.

Xing Boxiao expressed embarrassment: "Madam...I'm not a Taoist priest...I've never done such a thing..."

Yunzhi smiled: "It's okay, I did it before! Just follow my orders and do it!"

I know all the theoretical knowledge, but in fact we are really short of a suitable coolie.

In desperation, Xing Boxiao followed us downstairs to catch ghosts.

Yunzhi put an invisibility talisman on the two of us and one ghost, and put protective yellow talismans on the inside of the clothes for Jiao Yazhu and her child, and entered the house together.

The room has a heavy humidity, and even has a strong fishy smell.

It seems that Jiao Yazhu's husband has been a ghost for a long time, and he still regards this place as his private residence.

"Sister, can you hold on?" Yunzhi asked me worriedly, and glanced at my lower abdomen.

I nodded: "It's okay." Although there was some nausea in my stomach, it was far from enough to vomit.

Xing Boxiao quietly followed us. After we found a place to sit down, we repeatedly encouraged Jiao Yazhu not to be afraid, and to act according to our winks.

She suppressed her fear and nodded.

According to Jiao Yazhu, the knock on the door for the past two days started at midnight and lasted until two or three in the morning.

Now it was only a few minutes before twelve o'clock, the three of us who had posted the invisibility charms found a corner to stay, and signaled Jiao Yazhu to pretend to go back to bed and go to sleep.

Soon, it was twelve o'clock.

Sure enough, there was a strong Yin Qi outside the door, and then there were three regular knocks on the door.

Jiao Yazhu poked her head out of the quilt to look at us in fear, and I signaled her to keep silent.

After three rounds of knocking on the door, a man's voice said: "Yazhu, open the door, I'm back to see you and the child."

When Jiao Yazhu got married, I was studying in Zeyun City, so I didn't participate.Yunzhi went and met her husband.

Hearing the voice, he nodded, confirming that the ghost was indeed Jiao Yazhu's husband Gao Jinghui.

Probably after shouting like this three times, the ghost outside the door didn't speak anymore, but knocked on the door again.

Three more knocks, then three more shouts, and three more knocks.

I found it strange, so I asked Yunzhi what was going on with my mouth.

Yunzhi replied with two words: broken talisman.

Seeing that I was still puzzled, he pointed to the peace talisman on the door.It was a jade tablet that had been consecrated, and at this moment, most of it had been blacked out.

It seems that knocking on the door and shouting three times like this is a kind of ritual, which can gradually corrode the jade tablet.

Only the top part of the jade tablet remained black, and we were about to get that ghost in, so I gave Xing Boxiao a wink.

Xing Boxiao understood, and threw a ghostly aura towards the jade plaque, which accelerated the erosion of the jade plaque. Soon, we saw a male ghost enter through the door.

He was wet all over, and water dripped from his body continuously.

How could such a water ghost come ashore?

Yunzhi and I looked at each other puzzledly, and then looked at Xing Boxiao, who is also a ghost.Xing Boxiao looked bewildered, and shook his head with his hands outstretched.

The invisibility talisman concealed our aura and figure from the eyes of the Yin Ling. Gao Jinghui didn't notice us, but went directly to the bedroom.

Just before entering the bedroom, I saw him use an illusion to tidy up his wet self again.The appearance of the water ghost disappeared, leaving only a neat appearance of a living person.

He walked into the bedroom, and because we had taken care of him, Jiao Yazhu pretended to be asleep on the bed.

From where I stand, I can see the bedroom.

I saw Gao Jinghui first walked to the bedside to look at Jiao Yazhu for a while, and then walked to the other side where the child was asleep.

Jiao Yazhu can be obedient and pretend to be asleep. A two-year-old child can't understand what we say.He woke up in a daze, Gao Jinghui smiled at him, and the child babbled and called Dad.

Gao Jinghui smiled happily.

He stretched out his hand to hug the child, but Jiao Yazhu was afraid that he would hurt the child and could no longer pretend, so he picked up the child first, and stepped back in horror.

Seeing this, Gao Jinghui frowned unhappily: "Yazhu, let me hug the child."

Jiao Yazhu shook her head: "No...he's just a child...our child...Jing Hui, please don't take him away! Please!"

Gao Jinghui was dissatisfied: "I just want to hug him! Besides, why don't you come with me?"

"I don't want to die, and neither does the child... The child is still young, you let him live! He is also your child, how can you bear it..."

Gao Jinghui's normal face gradually turned pale, revealing a ghost image: "I wanted you to follow me without any fear, but... since you found out that I'm dead... I can't help it It's..."

"Ya Zhu, believe me, I'm also doing it for your own good!" He was about to stretch out his hand to attack Jiao Yazhu when he touched it, his fingertips ignited with fire, and he dodged immediately.

"What!" he yelled, startled.

I gave Xing Boxiao a look, and Xingbo Xiao rushed out, grabbed Gao Jinghui's neck, and locked him with my ghostly aura.

As soon as he moved, the invisibility talisman on his body became invalid.Yunzhi and I also took off the invisibility charms on our bodies respectively, and walked into the bedroom.

Seeing the two people and one ghost that suddenly appeared from us, Gao Jinghui was very surprised: "Who are you..."

Jiao Yazhu hurriedly hid behind Yunzhi and me. Seeing this, Gao Jinghui gritted his teeth with hatred: "Jiao Yazhu! You actually joined forces with outsiders to harm me!"

"Didn't you want to kill their mother and child?" I interrupted her angrily.

"What do you know! I..." Gao Jinghui was about to yell at me, but Xing Boxiao's hand movements became more intense, making him unable to utter a word.

"When talking to Madam, use honorific language." Xing Boxiao educated Gao Jinghui word by word.

He is indeed more handsome than a ghost like Red Ghost who only fights against me!
Gao Jinghui is not inferior to Xing Boxiao, under his lustful power, he can only agree: "Yes... yes..."

"Tell me the truth, why did you kill their mother and child?" I asked.

Looking at his appearance, he is very rational, not like the kind of ghost who only has a little obsession left after becoming a ghost, and is finally controlled by the obsession and wants to drag people to be buried with him.

Moreover, what does it mean to take a bite and I am also for your own good?
Gao Jinghui glanced at Xing Boxiao fearfully, and said, "I think... that I'm dead now and turned into a ghost... that's pretty good..."

"What?" I don't understand.

He looked longingly: "No one chases after me to pay back the money like before. There is no pressure to earn money from work. Except that I can't bask in the sun, I feel that it is no different from the life of a living person. No! It is better than the life of a living person." Life is even more chic!"

You are a fruit that drips into the water as you walk, what qualifications do you have to say the word chic...

Yunzhi looked at Gao Jinghui, and gradually frowned: "You have only been a ghost for a long time, right?"

"The ghost's age is one year, three months and seven days." Xing Boxiao said.

"How did a ghost who has only been a ghost for so long become a fierce ghost?" Yun Zhi kept looking at Gao Jinghui with his eyes.

I gradually understood what he said.

As an ordinary person, Gao Jinghui became a ghost after death, even if he escaped from the underworld and came to the world, he would not be as sane as he is now.

Especially since he was still a water ghost. Logically speaking, the water ghost couldn't leave the area where he drowned.

But Gao Jinghui can go home to see his wife and children!

I can also do illusions!

Xing Boxiao stared at Gao Jinghui for a long time, and said, "Say! What adventure!"

Gao Jinghui looked blank: "What adventure can I have?"

I looked at him as if he was lying, and stared at him, suddenly, I felt a small bright spot on his left abdomen.

Xing Boxiao didn't look there, probably he hasn't noticed it yet.I think back to all the ghosts I know, and none of them have experienced Gao Jinghui's situation.

Perhaps, his adventure was related to that place, and he immediately told Xing Boxiao: "There is something glowing in his left abdomen!"

Gao Jinghui's expression changed drastically, and he was about to reach out to block it, but Xing Boxiao had already made the move first.He directly reached out to penetrate Gao Jinghui's lower abdomen, and when he pulled out his hand, he took out a small round bead from it.

Gao Jinghui is a ghost, he can't bleed, but the injured part has become transparent.Losing that bead, his illusion quickly disappeared, and he turned back into the dripping water ghost again.

His mana was greatly reduced, and Xing Boxiao didn't bother to care about him, he just looked at the beads in his hand, and suddenly his face changed drastically.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"This is the corpse pill!" Xing Boxiao said in a deep voice.

"What is a corpse pill?" I have never heard of such a thing.

"It's the inner alchemy of the zombie." Yunzhi explained.

I feel like I have opened the door to a new world: "Can ghosts use the inner alchemy of zombies?"

Yunzhi looked at Xing Boxiao who was also a ghost, his words were more convincing.

"Ghosts can indeed use the inner alchemy of zombies to cultivate, but zombies are bloodthirsty and ferocious, which will affect the ghosts who use their inner alchemy to cultivate."

Just as I was about to be disgusted, Xing Boxiao said again: "However, ghosts who need to use the zombie inner alchemy to cultivate have never cared about these things."

I silently looked at Gao Jinghui, and Yunzhi hung a mahogany sword around his neck, and asked forcefully, "Say! How many people have been killed!"

"I haven't hurt anyone!" Gao Jinghui shouted.

Yunzhi didn't believe it, so Gao Jinghui crackled and said, "I've been cultivating all this year! I finally got out of the moat, how can I hurt people!"

"What about Yazhu and the child? You don't want to harm them." I reminded.

"I'm doing it for their own good! Really! If they become ghosts, they can be as relaxed as I am! And our family can still be together!" Gao Jinghui argued loudly.

I sighed: "If Ya Zhu and the child die at your hands, there are only two possibilities. One, they are taken away by Yin Ling and extradited to the Judiciary to wait for trial and reincarnation. Second, they become unconscious low-level grudges. "

Gao Jinghui thought I was lying to him: "Impossible! I'm just fine! I..."

"It's because you have this corpse pill!" Yun Zhi roared back, "Without this corpse pill, you would still be lying on the bank of the moat, waiting to find a substitute!"

Gao Jinghui looked at the corpse pill in Xing Boxiao's hand again, and I asked, "Where did you get this corpse pill?"

He thought for a while, and said: "It seems that when I died, it floated into my mouth. I accidentally swallowed it..."

This shit luck...

Xing Boxiao closed his eyes and sensed this corpse pill carefully, and said to me: "Madam, this corpse pill has been refined. The evil spirit of the zombies on it has been purified."

Then this should be a good thing, how could Gao Jinghui pick it up casually in the river?
He looked innocent: "I'm telling the truth... I really picked it up..."

"How did you die? Was there anyone around when you died?" I asked again.

He said so, and indeed, as judged by the police, he accidentally fell into the river and drowned.It was dark and he couldn't see the road clearly, but he didn't feel anyone else nearby.

Yunzhi said speechlessly: "Sister, if the corpse pill was lost by the refiner, do you think it is possible for this ghost to stand in front of us intact? Anyone who can refine the corpse pill must be able to Open up the ghost that swallowed his corpse pill and take the corpse pill back!"

It's true...

"Is there anything under the moat? You have been a water ghost for more than a year, so you should know something about it." I asked Gao Jinghui.

"It's too cold down there, so I didn't dare to go down there. However, I felt that there seemed to be something terrible there. That's why I was in a hurry to go ashore." Gao Jinghui shuddered involuntarily as he spoke.

The two of us looked at each other, Green City was an important military base in ancient times, so the moat was dug extra deep.

It is said that there was a severe drought one year, and the waterline of the moat of Greentown dropped by more than ten meters, and it was still not the end.

According to scientific research, in order to maintain the reproduction of life, no matter how thick the ice is on the river surface, the temperature at the bottom of the river is kept at about 4 degrees Celsius.

Gao Jinghui has become a ghost, there is no temperature on his body, it can make him feel cold, there must be something big under the river!
Yunzhi and I looked at each other, and finally looked at Xing Boxiao.

Xing Boxiao naturally understands our eyes, but he is also a ghost of the landlord level, how could he put himself in danger, and then looked at Gao Jinghui, a kid who is still wandering in the poor peasant class, with a serious face: "Here A chance to make meritorious deeds!"

Gao Jinghui looked at me puzzled, and I said, "If you can help us find out what's under the moat, we'll return the corpse pill to you."

Anyway, the corpse pill has been refined, there is no danger, and we don't need it here, so we can return it to him.

"That was originally mine!" Gao Jinghui objected.

Xing Boxiao flung a ghostly aura over him and slapped him across the face: "Ghost world, the strong are respected."

Overwhelmed by strength, Gao Jinghui had no choice but to agree because of the corpse pill: "However, the thing down there is powerful. Without this corpse pill, I won't be able to stay in the river for long."

"You are the only water ghost in the moat?" Yunzhi asked suddenly.

Gao Jinghui nodded: "Yes..."

Yunzhi suddenly realized, and muttered: "No wonder I walked around the moat before, but I didn't find a water ghost as eyeliner. It turns out that there is something down there..."

Xing Boxiao looked at me, and I said: "The corpse pill can be returned to you, but you have to swear by your heart, first, help us check things, and second, don't harm anyone anymore, whether it is Yazhu mother and son, or others innocent people."

Gao Jinghui naturally agreed to my conditions. Ever since he knew that Yazhu's mother and son died, he couldn't be a ghost as he wanted, so he gave up the idea of ​​letting them be ghosts together.

After comforting Yazhu's mother and son, we called Xiaobai, and the group went to the moat.

Gao Jinghui pointed to a river beach and said, "This is where I fell into the water and died."

Yun went forward and burned a yellow talisman, and the bright yellow flame of the talisman paper quickly turned into a miserable green.

He threw the talisman into the river, and walked back to us: "If there is no corpse pill, he will use his instinct to pull people into the water here to find a substitute for the dead ghost."

"I didn't want to hurt anyone..." Gao Jinghui defended weakly.

Xing Boxiao stood by the river for a long time, unable to sense any strange aura, and returned the corpse pill to Gao Jinghui.

I instructed: "After going down, tell us what you can see. Don't force yourself, but don't be lazy."

Gao Jinghui nodded, reluctantly walked to the river, and jumped in.

He is a water ghost, and he sank into the river without splashing even a single ripple when he entered the water.

I asked Xing Boxiao: "Is it difficult to refine the evil spirit on the corpse pill?"

Xing Boxiao nodded: "It's very difficult. First of all, only zombies with purple zombies and above can cultivate corpse pills, and zombies will try their best to protect their own corpse pills. Usually, killing zombies directly is easier than taking pills. "

"Isn't it easier to take it after killing it?" I didn't understand.

"When the zombie dies, it will self-destruct the inner alchemy." Xing Boxiao said.

"How do you get it out?" I asked.

"Take it alive, and the speed must be fast, because if the zombie realizes this, even if he is powerless to resist, he will destroy the inner alchemy first."

It sounds like a lot of difficulty...

I suddenly regretted coming out in a hurry, and I didn't find a pair of underwater cameras for Gao Jinghui to take down, otherwise, we could still watch the live broadcast on the shore.

Yunzhi has been playing with his mobile phone since Gao Jinghui went into the water, as if he suddenly discovered something, he put away his mobile phone, took out a set of compass from his backpack, and put a paper crane made of a yellow talisman on the compass.

"Find something?" I asked him.

Yunzhi's complexion was not good: "It's not confirmed yet, I'm going to the middle of the river to confirm."

As he spoke, he took out another paper crane, blew on the spiritual energy to make the paper crane bigger, and just sat on it, the paper crane suddenly became smaller again, and fluttered down from the sky.

"Not enough spiritual power..." Yunzhi looked frustrated.

"You should tell me what you found first." I said.

Yunzhi handed me the mobile phone in his pocket: "Look for yourself."

This is a documentary about Greentown that he just checked online, and it mentioned the Greentown moat.

Because the moat is bottomless, many expedition teams came to investigate, but they found nothing special. The general result is that the moat was dug deep because it was an important military site in ancient times for city defense.

Next to it, there are a few pictures.Because of the age, it is very blurry. I can only tell from the label below that this is a photo of the river bank taken when the water line of the moat dropped during the severe drought that year.

The photo is blurry, but, gives me a very weird feeling.Because, if I hadn’t read the annotations of the photo below first, had a preconceived notion, and then looked at the photo, I would definitely think it was a group photo.

"Is it my eyesight? Why does it feel like a group of people are taking graduation photos?" I asked in surprise.

However, Yunzhi nodded: "I also saw this. However, I am afraid that it is not standing like in the graduation photo, but the face is facing outwards, and the body is lying on the river bank."

Xing Boxiao turned his head when he heard the words, I showed him the photo, and he saw the same thing as us, his face was slightly gloomy.

"In ancient times, when living people built embankments and bridges on river banks, they would use a special sacrificial ceremony to pray that the river bank would not burst and the bridge would not collapse." Xing Boxiao said.

"What ceremony?" I asked.

"Living sacrifice." Yun Zhi said.

I was surprised, and he motioned me to look at the photo on the phone: "Put a certain number of living people into the embankment or bridge piers together as materials, and sacrifice the lives and souls of these living people to keep one side peaceful."

He paused, "I've seen such a record in a book. A master of the Qingxu Temple once discovered such a living sacrifice, and it took him a lot of effort to barely save the dead souls there. .At the same time, he also left a note. In the note, there is a picture, which is similar to this."

I was speechless: "But the pain of death of those sacrificed will turn into resentful ghosts and disasters? How can we protect them?"

"If it is a bridge pier, the foundation stones on it will suppress the souls of these people, and if the souls cannot move, the bridge will naturally be stable. As for the river embankment, the same is true. People come and go on the river embankment, and every living person Stepping on it is equivalent to adding a layer of suppression."

Xing Boxiao said with a spit, "When a living person becomes ruthless, nothing can compare to it!"

"But I can't feel resentment and other yin qi." I hope we are all wrong, and not so many people died in vain.

"This living sacrifice seals all the breath of the sacrifice inside, so it's hard to sense it." Xing Boxiao said.

Yunzhi raised the compass and the yellow paper crane in his hands: "So I want to go to the middle of the river to have a look, who knows that the spirit power is not enough, even the paper crane can't move..."

It would be too cruel if so many people were really crushed under this embankment.

If I can help them, I still want to help them.

As for the embankment break, Greentown is located on a plain and the terrain is high, so there has been no news of floods.

Moreover, now that the technology is so developed, it is not difficult to build a better embankment, so there is no need to use such inhumane methods.

"Xiaobai, take Yunzhi to the middle of the river to have a look."

Ever since Yunzhi said that the child in my stomach could not stay, Xiaobai's attitude towards Yunzhi has always been indifferent, and he has even been on guard against Yunzhi.

Hearing me say this, it rubbed against me, expressing that it didn't want to go.

"Be good, be obedient." I stroked its dog's head, and then Xiaobai walked slowly to Yunzhi's side.
