Chapter 55 Blood Sacrifice to the Heroic Soul

Helping Ghost Detective Xu find the whereabouts of his sister, but accidentally found a clue related to the copper coin sword, which was an unexpected harvest.

The Ma family in Xiangxi, this old corpse exorcism family, appeared in the sight of my second uncle and me.

"The ancient city of Fenghuang in western Hunan, the corpse-killing Ma's house, and the Feathered Snake, this thread seems to be jumping up." I looked at my second uncle and said these clues slowly.

"Xiangxi is not a good place. There are all kinds of ghosts and monsters. Unfortunately, I can't get away recently." The second uncle looked worried, and the smoke ring covered his face.

The second uncle is going to host the death ceremony for Aunt Tan recently. Aunt Tan's remnant soul has just merged and is very weak. If she is not reincarnated as soon as possible, there will be a risk of her soul flying away.

"I've been to Xiangxi, and I have a comrade-in-arms over there." Ghost Detective Xu was worried about his sister's whereabouts, and suddenly interjected.

"Well, let's go over to check the situation first, and the second uncle will rush over to join us when he's done working." I said my thoughts.

"It's fine, but if you find something, don't act rashly, you must wait for me to come over and talk about it." The second uncle confessed with a serious face.

"I...can I not go?" Fatty Wang was terrified by the scene just now, and said in a nonchalant tone.

"Fatty, do you want to make up the money for the big meal?" Zhen Qingyi was very aware of Fatty's weakness.

"Really, don't shake me?" Fatty Wang swallowed, touched his shriveled wallet, feeling a little moved.

"Do you think the sisters are short on money?" Zhen Qingyi patted the fat man on the shoulder boldly.

"People die for money, birds die for food, Fatty is going all out." Fatty Wang swung his arms vigorously, holding his chubby face up with a heroic expression.

"Qingyi, the situation over there is unknown, so don't go." I looked at Zhen Qingyi with some hesitation.

"Fatty, are you still going without the benefactors, sisters?" Zhen Qingyi ignored me and asked the fatty.

"Of course I won't go, only my grandson will go." Fatty Wang muttered, as if he was following Sister Fu to eat meat.

I frowned and looked at Zhen Qingyi, wondering why she was so active. Xiangxi has been full of bandits since ancient times, so it is not a good place to go.

"Phoenix Ancient City, there is a sister in the WeChat group. After going for a trip, she came back and boasted in the group for half a month. I wanted to go a long time ago." Zhen Qingyi was a little embarrassed by my stare, and said Purpose.

"We're not going on a trip, and we don't know what dangers we may encounter." I can't understand a woman's thinking.

"Then you two go, Fatty and I won't go." Zhen Qingyi smiled slyly.

I was speechless, this time I mainly searched for information in the past, and it was just me and the boring gourd ghost who went there, who knows when and what month we will be able to find out the clues.

"Then let's talk about it first, go to all operations and follow the command." I explained with a little worry.

Zhen Qingyi smiled pretty, and made a victory gesture to me, like a little girl, bouncing and running to get ready.

I was dumbfounded, this style has changed too fast, I can only sigh in my heart again, the heart of a woman, the needle of the sea.

"You traitor, you are so disrespectful." I gave the fat man a hard look.

"Loyalty? How much is a catty? Fatty buys three catties." Fatty Wang looked like a hob.

"Thank you!" Ghost Detective Xu's voice was full of gratitude. He didn't know about the copper coin sword, and thought that we were all here to help him.

"You're welcome. Actually, I have my own business to go there." I explained a little embarrassedly.

"If there is anything you can ask me to help, please don't be polite." Ghost Detective Xu looked enthusiastic.

A few of us packed up our big bags and small bags, because there was a rich lady named Zhen Qingyi, and even the transportation was saved, and we set off in a Hummer, which was like a self-driving tour.

Xiangxi is located in a neighboring province. We set off early in the morning and arrived in the field after dark. However, we encountered difficulties when crossing the river.

Unfortunately, the only big ferry is broken down and is being repaired. It is impossible for cars to pass, but people can take a small ferry.

Thinking of the time it would take to make a detour, Zhen Qingyi suggested to leave the car here and let people go there first.After all, after crossing the river, it took only a few steps to reach the end of the land.

"Guys, this boat of mine happens to be empty, so it's just right to take you guys across the river." A little old man dressed as a villager, speaking broken Mandarin, came over to solicit business.

I looked in the direction the little old man pointed, and saw a dilapidated wooden boat docked by the river. I frowned and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"You guys are not ordinary people. You don't look like tourists. The little old man doesn't brag. I'm clear about matters big and small within a radius of ten miles." The little old man lowered his voice without waiting for my refusal to come out, with a mysterious expression on his face.

"Who says it's not a tourist, we are traveling by car." Zhen Qingyi pointed to the car beside him.

The little old man smiled mysteriously and did not argue with us, but just stared at me confidently.

"Come on, you can take any boat, as long as you can cross the river." I gritted my teeth and walked towards the little old man's broken boat.

The wooden boat looked very old. Fatty Wang was heavy and the boat swayed as soon as he got on board. Zhen Qingyi was frightened and supported me, for fear that the fatty would trample the boat over.

"Let's go." The little old man yelled, shaking the wooden paddle, and the wooden boat gradually left the shore.

"Old man, tell me about the strange things around here." The reason why I am willing to board this wrecked boat is to inquire about news.

"In our western Xiangxi, there have been many strange people and strange things since ancient times." The little old man boasted when he opened his mouth.

"There are many bandits in Xiangxi, this kid knows it all." I muttered in my heart, but I didn't say it out loud.

"If you want to talk about something new, there is such a thing recently." The little old man kept it secret.

I took out the cigarettes in my pocket, threw one to the little old man, and signaled him to continue.

"It is said that the Sea Dragon King came out of this river, and many people were swallowed alive." The little old man's tone suddenly became dark.

"Grandpa, Fatty won't be frightened by you to be your wreck." Fatty Wang quit, muttering and yelling.

My heart tightened, not knowing what the little old man meant, I subconsciously held a few talisman papers in my hand.

"Just kidding, there is no sea dragon king in this world, but this river is very magical, and it is true that there is a hero buried in the bottom of the river." The little old man grinned, showing his black and yellow teeth.

"Oh? What kind of magical method is this river, and who is buried at the bottom of the river?" I was aroused by the other party's curiosity.

"Back then, Little Japan burned, killed, and looted. A hero came out from our Phoenix side, and gathered more than a dozen nearby cottages, large and small, to defend against Little Japan by this river." The little old man lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. .

"Then what happened later, did you stop Little Japan?" The ghost explores Xu Dangbing's background, and he likes to hear these passionate stories the most.

"It was so miserable back then. Half of the river was dyed red. It is said that there have been many bandits in Xiangxi since ancient times, but these bandits insisted on not retreating a single step and drained the last drop of blood." The little old man's tone was a little excited.

"Where is the leading hero?" I asked with great concern.

"Little Japan suffered heavy losses. The officers of a small team were all cut off by the wounded hero with his last breath." The little old man continued, "The doggy little Japan, in order to vent his anger, cut off his head." That hero dismembered his body and threw it in this river."

"He's a hero!" My eyes were full of emotion, I admired that hero's bravery, and felt sorry for the other party's fate.

"Since then, there has been a legend on this river. If a person who crosses the river is willing to shed a few drops of blood in honor of those heroes who shed dry blood, he will be blessed by heroic souls." The little old man stood up and bit his finger. , dripping blood into the river.

I was still immersed in that heroic story, and when my head got hot, I bit my finger and dropped a few drops of blood in the river.

The heroic deeds of the ancestors are worth remembering. Zhen Qingyi bit his finger, stretched it above the river, and whispered to himself, "Seniors, rest in peace."

Ghost detective Xu looked excited, and took out a dagger to cut his palm, and the bright red blood flowed into the green river.

Fatty Wang looked hesitant, this coward was a little afraid of pain, closed his eyes for the last time, bit his finger hard, and stretched into the river.

"The atmosphere in the ancient city is not very good recently. Some people are secretly worshiping the demon snake, but you have the protection of the heroic souls of your ancestors, and the demon snake will not harm you." The little old man watched us dripping blood one by one, exhaled a smoke ring, and said slowly .

I turned around abruptly and looked at the little old man in amazement. I knew that this guy was not simple, so I really shook out a big piece of news.

"Is that monster snake covered with feathers? What's the origin?" I looked at the little old man in surprise.

The little old man was smoking a cigarette, his face was like dried orange peel, after a while, he said, "I don't know why, the evil wind that blew up a few years ago, as for the real feathered snake, there is no People have seen it."

"Old man, is there a Ma family here who chases away corpses?" Ghost detective Xu Xin worried about her sister's safety and asked.

"The Ma family in Majia Village? Some strange things happened in that village a few years ago. All the villagers died, and it became a famous ghost village. It has been abandoned for many years." The little old man looked at us with a puzzled expression.

My heart sank. There are still people alive in the Ma family. I asked: "You are always well-informed. Have you heard any news about the Ma family recently?"

"No, that ghost village is a bit weird, no one dares to go there." The little old man shook his head.

Ghost Detective Xu looked anxious, rubbing his hands a little restlessly, hesitating to speak.

"There's no rush for this matter, let's take it step by step." I patted the other person's shoulder and comforted him in a low voice.

"Finally we've landed. The wrecked boat is swaying a lot. Fatty is a little seasick." Fatty Wang muttered and stood up.

I turned around, I didn't pay attention to the chat just now, the wooden boat was already on the shore.

"Old man, thank you for sending us across the river. Is there anything else you want to tell us?" I felt that the old man was not an ordinary person, so I sincerely asked him for advice.

"Show eyes and pay attention. If you encounter any problems, go to No. 18 in Buyi Lane and talk to the old boatman." The little old man grinned and said with a smile.

Saying goodbye to the mysterious old boatman, the ancient city of Fenghuang in front of me is dimly lit and full of tourists, but it looks a little hazy in my eyes.
