Chapter 307 Arrogant Zhang
"A long man is thousands of feet, but the soul is a little bit."

"Ten days will come out, and it will flow gold and turn stone."

"Everyone is accustomed to it, and the soul must be released."

"I'm back! Don't trust me."

——"Songs of Chu·Calling the Soul"

……

Xiangjiang, Kowloon, Huangshan Village.

The lonely mountain wind blows.

A man and a woman stood quietly in front of a tomb.

The tomb was dilapidated, surrounded by land leveled by excavators and road rollers, and the grass and bushes were lifted up, leaving only a cracked old tombstone, covered with wind and frost.

On the black tombstone, engraved a line of words:

The tomb of Bu Menchu ​​Renmei.

"I know Chu Renmei, what does Bumen mean?"

The tall man turned his head and asked.

"Bu Wantian, a teacher in Huangshan Village, a beast that is not as good as a pig or a dog, and the husband of the famous Cantonese opera actress Chu Renmei."

The woman put her hands in her pockets and said lightly.

It means that after Chu Renmei married into the Bu family, the tombstone after her death would also have to read "Bumen so-and-so".

The man understood, and immediately asked:
"Then what should we do now, dig the grave?"

The woman shook her head:

"The tomb has already been planed by the construction team, and the bones were thrown into the pool below."

After finishing speaking, she pouted her mouth towards the mountain.

The man turned his head and narrowed his eyes:
"Shall I go into the water and fish her out?"

The woman said with a "puchi" laugh:
"Why are your thoughts so straightforward? If you don't bring the tile steel sword, golden knuckle tiger and screeching beetle into the water to fish for corpses, I'm afraid you will be killed by Chu Renmei. If you bring those three things into the water Corpse, I'm afraid you'll scare Chu Renmei away."

The man frowned:

"What should I do?"

The woman turned around and walked down the mountain, saying:
"Back to the village, I'm ready for the ceremony."

……

At night, in an old house in Huangshan Village.

Poor, backward, and in disrepair.

Eight or nine men and women were tightly bound, their mouths were stuffed with cloth, and their eyes were covered with black cloth. They sat in a row in a corner.

This is the group of four protagonists in the movie, plus the reincarnated people who came to this universe. They have all been subdued by Fu Qinghai, bundled up and placed in the back room to prevent them from interfering with Zhang Yuning and Fu Qinghai's carefully prepared soul-calling plan.

This is the mode of action of the two: Fu Qinghai is responsible for dealing with players, Zhang Yuning is responsible for dealing with ghosts, with a clear division of labor.

Like the reincarnation in the movie "The Nun", the reincarnation world also did not distinguish between camps this time, but issued a unified task. The task was also very similar to the last "seal the demon Valak" - "purify the ghosts and the beauty of Churen".

The players all belong to the same faction, and Fu Qinghai is not good at indiscriminately killing killers, but he must make sure that they don't add to the chaos.

Because the task of "purifying the ghost Chu Renmei" is very simple - at least for Chinese players, if you are familiar with the plot of the movie "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", you will naturally know why Chu Renmei's resentment arises, as long as you find a way to resolve her Resentment and hatred can naturally free this wraith.

This is the consistent problem-solving idea of ​​Chinese supernatural horror movies: the wrong has its head, the debt has its owner, the revenge will be avenged, and the resentment will disappear.It reflects the traditional values ​​of the Chinese people.

The "pure evil thoughts" of Japanese ghost horror movies, the "reincarnation of cause and effect" of Thai ghost horror movies, and the "devotion" of European and American ghost horror movies each reflect the values ​​of different countries and nations.

However, Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning's plan was so big that they were not satisfied with just completing the task.

There was only one dying old man left in the room who was not tied up, but sat peacefully in the living room, with a sad face on his face, he bowed his hands, and said to Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning:

"Two... two strong ghost hunters. My aunt died innocently. Even if she killed someone, it was for revenge. I beg you two, I beg you two..."

The old man couldn't go on talking.

Fu Qinghai waved his hand and said:
"I know, old man, don't worry, your aunt will be relieved and peaceful soon."

This old man was the orphan adopted by Chu Renmei before his death. Li Qiang was also the only one who was not killed in the case of exterminating the door in Huangshan Village. The other 66 villagers were all killed by Chu Renmei.

Zhang Yuning is making arrangements at the table.

Insert a cotton thread into a cup of corpse oil found in the hands of supporting actors, and light a candle.

A bowl of water scooped from the sinking corpse pool, mixed with a drop of blood from Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning.

"Corpse oil, pond water, blood... BUFF is already full, I'm not afraid that Chu people will not be beautiful."

Zhang Yuning said with confidence.

According to her, if any one of the three conditions is met, it is possible to attract Chu Renmei, and Zhang Yuning's direct superposition of the three conditions greatly increases the probability of spawning a female ghost.

Zhang Yuning is very familiar with the rituals and rituals in all kinds of supernatural horror movies, and Fu Qinghai admires them very much. The two of them first took a sip of the dead body pool water mixed with each other's blood, and sat at the table , closed his eyes, and held hands, Zhang Yuning whispered in his mouth:
"Someone is here, I want to help."

"The soul is separated, and you will give it to me."

"Soul... is back!"

As her voice fell.

"Hu~~"

A gust of wind blew, and the corpse oil candle was extinguished.

The house was plunged into darkness.

Zhang Yuning slowly opened her eyes and looked behind Fu Qinghai. At the entrance of the old house, a bright moonlight slanted in from outside. A strange figure in a red Cantonese opera costume stood quietly. There.

"She is coming."

Zhang Yuning said calmly.

Fu Qinghai turned his head to look, but saw nothing. The front of the old house was empty, only a bright moonlight.

He does not have yin and yang eyes, unless the ghost wants him to see, he cannot see the existence of ghosts.

Zhang Yuning frowned and stared at Chu Renmei, seeing the woman with distorted face suddenly grinned, her body disappeared into the wall next to her, and she hurriedly shouted:

"She wants to kill the people in the back room first!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuning made a casual move, and Valak, Gayako, and the "Pen Fairy" Jin Renshu, who had recently joined the ghost troupe, all appeared together and double-teamed towards Chu Renmei.

The four ghosts opened their teeth and danced their claws and howled fiercely. They fought in a ball above the living room, black air splashed everywhere, and their spirit bodies flew, but Fu Qinghai couldn't see anything. The incandescent light bulb flickered.

Confused.

In Zhang Yuning's eyes, Chu Renmei was gradually outnumbered. Suddenly, her face twisted and twisted, she screamed, turned around and rushed towards Fu Qinghai who was closest to her.

"Qingshan, behind you, she wants to possess her body!"

Zhang Yuning shouted hastily.

Fu Qinghai clenched the golden knuckles around his knuckles, turned around and punched the air behind him.

"Bah!"

There was clearly nothing there, but as if hitting something, there was a bit of force feedback from the fingers.

A dent made by a woman's body suddenly appeared on the wall.

In Zhang Yuning's eyes, the poor Chu Renmei was torn apart by three ghosts in turn, and her spiritual power was greatly damaged, and then she was hit by Fu Qinghai's ruthless iron fist, and she was directly punched and welded to the wall.

"Get her here!"

Zhang Yuning pointed with a slender hand and ordered.

The three ghosts rushed forward.

…………

"Hold the Holy Light in your hand, but you can't see the light."

—John Constantine.

……

Los Angeles, Maryland, USA.

"The status of "Country Corpse" in film history is mainly because it twisted Xiangjiang's supernatural films from the ghostly and funny style, and returned to horror itself, but it still somewhat imitated "Midnight Bell"."

On the street, Fu Qinghai said as he walked.

"I know "The Exorcist", ten Oscar nominations, two awards, this is unprecedented in the history of horror movies, in terms of artistic value and achievement status, I think "The Exorcist" is better than "Country Old Corpse" .”

Zhang Yuning smiled and said:
"Although you don't pay attention to the plot and background, but when it comes to the history of film development, you are very clear."

Fu Qinghai nodded:
"I didn't really dare to watch horror movies before."

Before: Refers to before becoming a Space Marine.

Fu Qinghai's high evaluation of "The Exorcist" is naturally related to his own values.

He is a staunch atheist and materialist.

The film "The Exorcist" reveals a pessimistic attitude towards God's omnipotence and doubts about the Christian belief: the devil is almost omnipotent, whether it is the Bible, holy water or the cross...everything Christians believe in and rely on, It was useless in front of the devil, and the priest who represented the authority of God died tragically at the hands of the devil.

Chinese audiences may be hard to imagine.

But you must know that most developed countries in Europe and the United States are actually religious countries. The shock brought to them by "The Exorcist" and the trampling of their religious beliefs can be called a spiritual earthquake...It even caused the film to be strongly criticized by churches in various countries resist.

Of course, what director William Friedkin wants to promote is not materialism, otherwise the ending of the movie should be some kind of "scientific hoax", what he wants to promote is actually nihilism.

Although Wen Ziren is a Chinese director and has built a huge universe of The Conjuring with a lot of movies such as "The Conjuring" trilogy, "The Nun" and "Anna Bell", Fu Qinghai doesn't really like the Conjuring universe. Because The Conjuring Universe represents the typical horror and supernatural movies that cater to the traditional religious values ​​of Europe and the United States——

You have to believe in God to defeat the devil.

The Vatican's non-staff exorcists, the Warrens, relied on their devout beliefs to save them from disasters.

All great literary and artistic works will either openly or implicitly contain values, which is what Chinese people like to say "contains private goods". H.P. Lovecraft even expressed his racial discrimination very directly. .

On the contrary, those literary and artistic works that do not contain "private goods" are unknown and drift with the wind. Many people are not disgusted with the export of ideas, they just call the unity that does not conform to their values ​​"private goods".

……

Fu Qinghai, who is 1.9 meters and zero, is dressed in simple casual clothes, with a golf club bag on his back, which contains a broken heart of a tile steel sword, and a golden knuckle and a small old cigarette box fastened to the belt buckle around his waist. .

Zhang Yuning, who is 1.7 meters [-], wears black slim-fit jeans, a black racerback vest and a short black motorcycle leather jacket, which is still her favorite All Black style.

The man is handsome and the woman is cool, walking side by side on the street, they look like a perfect match.

The two came to a motel.

Fu Qinghai frowned slightly, and asked:

"Why don't you stay in a five-star hotel?"

Zhang Yuning turned around and looked up at her man, with her delicate body pressed against his body, one hand stroking his neck, and the two fingers of the other hand gently stepping on his chest, Eyes blurred and charming, voice slightly hoarse:

"I don't want to live in Hilton and Sheraton anymore, I just want to squeeze in a cramped motel with you, smell your sweat, listen to your heavy breathing, and then...um."

Zhang Yuning's eyebrows were like silk.

While talking, she moaned softly, bit her lower lip with her white teeth, and refused to continue talking.

Fu Qinghai laughed evilly and said:

"Okay."

……

The next morning, the two arrived at the target location.

According to the previous practice, Fu Qinghai dealt with the players, and Zhang Yuning dealt with the ghosts.

According to Zhang Yuning, the demon in "The Exorcist" is named "Pazuzu", and he is one of the most evil demon gods in ancient Sumerian folklore.

Legend has it that he has the wings of a vulture, the claws of a lion, the sting of a scorpion, and a particularly ugly huge head, exuding a profane aura all over his body.

According to the history of the Assyrians and Sumerians, and comparing the time when the "Bible and Old Testament" appeared, Pazuzu may have existed longer than the famous demon god Lucifer.

Bibles, holy water and crosses are of no use to Pazuzu.

But it doesn't mean that other wraith demons are also useless to him.

"Valak, this wave is up to you."

Zhang Yuning said lightly:
"See who is stronger between you and the other demons."

The figure of the ghost nun emerged in the dark alleyway.

A deep and rough voice sounded like a roar:
"Zhang, the 'Pazuzu' you mentioned is not a demon in Solomon's 72 Pillars Demon God System. I don't know about his existence. But before facing Pazuzu, I'm afraid you have to settle other things first."

After speaking, Valak looked to the right.

something else?What's the meaning?
Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning turned their heads together and followed the ghost nun's gaze.

At the end of the dark alleyway, there were three short, black and thin men standing side by side. The three of them walked over and stood still. The leader clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and said:
"Sawadika."

Ok?Thai?
Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This gentleman and this lady are assigned to this reincarnation world at the same time. It is our fate. It is our common task to seal the demon Pazuzu and drive him back to hell. I sincerely hope that we can cooperate sincerely."

The other party spoke very politely, but there was a sense of intolerance in his tone.

However, Fu Qinghai shook his head slowly:
"No, Pazuzu and her can solve it, don't interfere."

Fu Qinghai just finished speaking.

"boom--"

There was a bang behind him, and a black-and-gold power armor, wrapped in strong wind and flames, crashed to the ground, smashing a deep hole in the roadway.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the huge turbofan on the back of the armor slowly stopped rotating, the flames at the nozzles went out, and a pair of scarlet eyepieces gradually lit up. people.

Fu Qinghai looked at the three of them calmly and did not speak again.

But the meaning is already very obvious.

Faced with such a domineering aura, the leading Thai player just twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and said:

"Science and technology side reincarnation, hehe, okay...we won't bother you two anymore, there will be a period later."

When it came to the words "there will be a period later", the leader pronounced the word quite heavily, with a meaningful expression on his face.

After speaking, he turned around and left with his two companions.

What's the meaning?threaten me?
Fu Qinghai frowned.

Fu Qinghai was not sure where the other party came from, but Zhang Yuning recognized it at a glance. She chuckled lightly and said:
"Three supernatural reincarnations are rare, but the level is just like that. There are only two tricks to play around in Thai supernatural horror movies-Gumanthong and head-bending technique."

The three people who were about to leave suddenly stopped in their tracks.

However, his back was still facing Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning, and he did not turn around.

Looking at their backs, Zhang Yuning seemed to be introducing Fu Qinghai, but actually raised her voice on purpose:
"Gumantong is to 'raise little ghosts', and can only use the souls of dead children to sacrifice. The 'three mountain talismans' in the Taoist talisman school: Maoshan, Longhushan, and Hezaoshan, have long played the game of driving ghosts to death. I have played it thoroughly, and can drive all kinds of ghosts, big and small, fierce ghosts and ghosts, compared to some Siamese witches who can only play with the souls of babies, I don’t know where to go.”

Then, Zhang Yuning sneered:
"As for the head drop technique, it is a spell that collects relevant materials to remotely curse or aphrodisiac other people. There are nine folk magic systems in China: summoning souls, holding spirits, exorcising evil spirits, nightmare town, lowering the head, witchcraft, illusion, qigong, continued Life, it has already been included. I can't copy it all, and I can't learn it well..."

Zhang Yuning raised her chin and said loudly:

"Why, don't you know how to be polite when facing people in your suzerain country?"

The three words "sovereign country" deeply hurt the hearts of the Thai people, and the leader couldn't help but clenched his fists.

However, that woman made her abilities clear with just a few words. The three players from Thailand didn't dare to be too arrogant. Putting away the inherent arrogance of the reincarnated people on the supernatural side and facing the reincarnated people on the technological side, the leader took a deep breath. With a sigh of relief, he turned to Fu Qinghai and Zhang Yuning and put his palms together again:
"We will not interfere with this reincarnation mission."

"Pull the arch." (bye)

……

My name is Zhang Yuning, arrogant Zhang.

Fu Qinghai dubbed Zhang Yuning silently in his heart.

Although Zhang Yuning's tone was very arrogant.

But what she said was true.

Even in the area of ​​"feudal superstition, strange powers and gods", China is still the suzerain of all neighboring countries, not to mention Japan and South Korea, the younger brothers of the Confucian civilization circle, and the witchcraft and sorcery of Southeast Asian countries are all influenced by China quite deep.

The Siamese trio didn't know that Fu Qinghai had the three-piece set of exorcising demons and subduing demons in his hand, and thought they could use the dark and hidden methods of Gumantong and head-bending techniques to secretly disgust him, but they were immediately dismissed. Zhang Yuning easily pointed it out.

Same as the logic of "Sealing Demon Valak", in the reincarnation mission of "Sealing Demon Pazuzu", all players belong to the same camp by default. If Fu Qinghai directly kills the Siamese trio, assimilation points will be deducted .

It would be best for Zhang Yuning to "know it with emotion and move with reason" and let them retreat in spite of difficulties.

……

Single mom Chrissy is going crazy.

Her daughter Rui Gen, a cute, sensible and beautiful little loli, suddenly changed her temperament when she entered puberty, with a bad temper and dirty words.

At first, Chris thought that her daughter was suffering from some kind of mental illness, so she used all kinds of suppressive drugs and sedatives, but the result became worse. Her daughter even began to expose certain parts, urinate in public, and even self-desecration, using dirty blood Painted the statue of the Madonna and fitted it with some kind of prosthetic organ that she shouldn't have.

God, what blasphemy!
Chris had no choice but to turn to the priest for help.

However, the successive tragic deaths of young priests and senior priests have left the mother Chrissy helpless. The demon Satan seemed to be laughing at her powerlessness. Her daughter began to spit out green filth. Crawl upside down like a spider.

Chris cried out in anxiety.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a surprised and unfamiliar voice from outside the door:
"Wow, Ah Ning, look at it! The classic scene in film history, turning your head upside down and crawling, how many people were scared to cry back then."

What kind of heartless and heartless person is this!
Single moms are going crazy:
"Who are you and why did you break into my house!"

Fu Qinghai quickly raised his hand and said in relief:

"Don't worry, don't worry, ma'am, forgive us for coming uninvited, we are here to save your daughter."

save my daughter?

Chris froze.

Fu Qinghai didn't explain to her again, but looked at Zhang Yuning.

Zhang Yuning nodded slightly.

In an instant, the whole room was full of howling ghosts and wolves, black smoke blinding the eyes, some objects, stairs, doors, pillars... even began to distort and deform, the TV automatically turned on, and the screen began to play bloody and violent murder scenes in a loop.

What the hell, could it be worse!

Chrissy is going to explode.

The little girl who was performing handstand walking was also stunned.

Zhang Yuning's beautiful eyes looked at her quietly.

In the midst of a doomsday scene where demons dance wildly.

The woman stood alone with a smile on her lips.

"Come on, Pazuzu."

Tan opened his mouth slightly and said softly.
