Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 167 The Disappearing Hanged Ghost
night.

The winter night is a bit cold, and there is a faint breeze in the air, which makes the candle flame flicker slightly.

Li Xiaoxiu's father, Yingcao and Zashiki Doji surrounded the candles, waiting for the return of Li Xiaoxiu's soul.

The candle has been burning shorter and shorter, and it will be extinguished in a short time.

Everyone had worried expressions on their faces, no one continued to speak, and the whole Qinghe town became extremely quiet.

Suddenly, the air seemed to get a little colder.

It's not very obvious, but there is indeed a hint of cold air passing by, and Yingcao couldn't help shivering: "It's so cold..."

"coming……"

Chen Beibei said in a low voice.

Chen Beibei who opened his spiritual eyes saw Li Xiaoxiu walking in from the door.

It was a translucent spirit body, exactly the same as Li Xiaoxiu who was lying on the bed.

"Xiaoxiu, are you back?"

When Li Xiaoxiu's father heard Chen Beibei's words, he couldn't help but regain his spirits and almost stood up from the ground.

"Don't let the candle go out."

Chen Beibei said indifferently, after hearing what Chen Beibei said, Li Xiaoxiu's father quickly squatted down again, and tightly cared for the flickering candle with both hands.

Seeing Li Xiaoxiu's ghost come back, Chen Beibei couldn't help but feel relieved.

Since the soul-calling talisman has summoned Li Xiaoxiu's soul, now it is only necessary to let Li Xiaoxiu's soul enter her body.

This is a very simple matter.

Chen Beibei walked to Li Xiaoxiu's side, and said softly, "Go back."

Li Xiaoxiu walked slowly into her body, lay down flat, and completely merged with her body.

Then, Li Xiaoxiu woke up.

"All right."

Chen Beibei said.

Li Xiaoxiu's father seemed to be still afraid that the candle would go out, and he didn't even dare to speak.

"It's all right, Uncle Li, you can get up now."

Chen Beibei looked at Li Xiaoxiu's father and said to him.

At this time, Li Xiaoxiu had already opened her eyes, and sat up from the bed by herself: "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"

"Xiaoxiu, you're finally awake."

Li Xiaoxiu's parents rushed to Li Xiaoxiu's bed and carefully examined Li Xiaoxiu's body.

"Dad, mom, why are you crying? Also, why are Brother Chen Beibei and the others in my room?"

Li Xiaoxiu continued to ask, with a look of doubt on her face.

But Li Xiaoxiu's parents were just crying and didn't answer Li Xiaoxiu's question.

"Uncle Li, let's go back first."

When Chen Beibei spoke, he had already walked out of Li Xiaoxiu's house.

When Li Xiaoxiu's father raised his head, he could no longer see Chen Beibei. When he chased to the door, he could only vaguely see Chen Beibei's back, which slowly disappeared into the darkness: "Thank you, Chen Beibei. North!"

……

courtyard.

The hanged man hanging from the tree is still telling the story.

His story is almost over.

Xiaolu's bride no longer rejects listening to stories, and even asks the hanged ghost to tell her stories on some sleepless nights.

"Master, you are back."

"Well, Xiao Luo, why haven't you slept yet?"

"The master didn't come back, Xiaoluo couldn't sleep."

Xiaoluo Bride lowered her head and said.

"Now the master is back, go to bed quickly, it's already late at night."

"Well, master."

After Xiaoluo's bride finished speaking, she went straight into her den.

Nightmare-eating tapirs go out every night.

This is her habit, and Chen Beibei will naturally not interfere.

Just as Chen Beibei walked into his room, the voice of the hanged ghost sounded outside the door again.

It was late at night, which was unusual since stories were still being told.

Although the hanged ghost likes to tell stories, he seldom tells them late at night, after all, the bride still needs to sleep.

And he just needs a rest.

"Uncle, the master has told me to sleep, so don't tell me any more stories today?"

The bride Xiaoluo looked at the hanged ghost and said slowly.

"Xiaoluo, this is the last story, do you want to finish listening?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Xiaoluo Bride replied.

"Okay, if that's the case, Xiaoluo's bride should go to sleep, uncle will stop talking."

After the hanged ghost finished speaking, he glanced at the pitch-black sky, and said softly, "It's so dark."

"Uncle, what did you say?"

"It's nothing, just sleep."

said the hanged ghost.

The night was quiet again, and everyone slowly fell asleep.

The entire town of Qinghe was shrouded in darkness.

There was no one on the street.

Since the moon has not been seen for a few days, not a single person walks on the street at night.

Everyone vaguely knew something, even children.

Nightmare eaters sit beside the beds of sleeping people, quietly sucking the energy from their dreams.

quietly.

The hanged ghost jumped down from the old locust tree after Xiao Luo's bride fell asleep, leaving only a rope for hanging himself.

After the hanged ghost left, a black shadow on the roof moved slightly, causing it to separate from the pitch-black night.

The hanged ghost went all the way to the door of Chen Beibei's house, and the black shadow also followed outside the door of Chen Beibei's house.

The hanged ghost walked forward without stopping.

The shadow quickly overtook the hanged ghost.

"Want to run?"

The black figure appeared from the darkness, it was a woman in black clothes, the collar was turned up, directly covering half of her face.

The collar was dark red, redder than blood, almost blending into the black, making it difficult to distinguish.

"You do it."

The hanged ghost said lightly, his tone very calm.

"Aren't you afraid of disappearing?"

"afraid."

"Then why don't you want to follow Shuten-douji?"

"It's just that I don't want to. I like being in that yard, under that locust tree, and I like the people and monsters inside."

The Hanged Ghost replied.

"Heh, the person inside is an onmyoji, right?"

"Ah."

"It's ridiculous that a little devil like you wants to rely on the big tree of Onmyoji."

"You do it."

The hanged ghost said lightly.

"If that's the case, then I won't be polite."

The woman in black clothes showed her own face. It was a pale face without a trace of blood, but it also had a bit of beauty, giving people a sense of stern beauty.

The woman's mouth was wide open, and kept wide open. Finally, two fangs protruded from the mouth, and the eyes became hollow, and the eyeballs inside had disappeared.

The fangs pierced the hanged ghost's throat, and black gas leaked from the wound.

The face of the hanged ghost became distorted, and then the whole person disappeared into the air.

……

day.

"Master, wake up, uncle is gone."

Xiaoluo's bride lay beside Chen Beibei's ear and shouted loudly.

Chen Beibei was directly awakened from sleep: "Xiaoluo, what did you say?"

"Uncle is gone."

"What uncle?"

Chen Beibei, who just woke up in the morning, was still a little fuzzy and didn't understand what Xiaoluo's bride meant.

"It's the uncle who has been hanging under the locust tree. When I woke up today, he was gone."

Xiaoluo's bride looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.

This is the first time that the hanged ghost has never left the old locust tree.

Chen Beibei got up directly from the bed, then ran to the yard, and looked with his spiritual eyes, the hanged ghost was indeed gone.

"Xiao Luo, don't you know when he disappeared?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"I don't know. Last night, after the master came back, I went to sleep too. As a result, when I woke up this morning, the uncle disappeared."

"Did he say anything to you yesterday?"

Xiaoluo's bride is the only friend of the hanged ghost, so Chen Beibeijue's Xiaoluo's bride will know something.

"Last night, uncle wanted to tell me the last story. But because the master has put me to sleep, I asked uncle to tell it today. He seems to be in a low mood."

In Chen Beibei's mind, he had already thought of some bad endings.

However, at this moment, he still didn't tell Xiaoluo's bride: "Xiaoluo, we're still waiting, maybe he just left for a while, maybe he'll be back in a few days."

"Okay, master."

Although Xiaoluo's bride agreed, her voice was still very low, and she climbed up the old locust tree absent-mindedly.

There is only one rope left on it, and that rope is also translucent and does not actually exist.

Time passed day by day, and the hanged ghost never appeared again.

One night three days later.

The bride Xiaoluo embarked on a journey to find the hanged ghost alone.

But Xiaoluo Bride didn't go too far, she just searched in the small town of Qinghe.

The Bride of the Net can see the ghosts that roam the town of Qinghe, but the Bride of the Net is not afraid of them.

When those ghosts saw Xiaoluo's bride, they didn't dare to mess with her.

After all, Xiaolu's bride is a monster.

The half-human, half-spider appearance still makes those little devils a little afraid.

Until Xiaoluo's bride met a woman in black.

Suddenly there was a dangerous atmosphere in the air.

"Big sister, have you ever seen an uncle with a long tongue?"

Xiaoluo Bride asked.

"Oh, the uncle with the long tongue?"

"Ah."

"What do you want from him?"

"He is my friend, but he disappeared a few days ago. So I want to find him and let him go home."

"I saw him a few days ago, let me take you to him."

The woman in black looked at Xiaoluo's bride and said to her.

"Okay, thank you sister!"

Xiaoluo bride said happily.

After Xiaoluo's bride finished speaking, she walked towards the back hill of Qinghe town together with that woman.

"Sister, is uncle on the mountain?"

Xiaoluo Bride asked.

"Yes, I saw him on the mountain."

The woman said softly.

The woman's voice was a little weird, very cold, without a trace of warmth.

The bride Xiaoluo followed the woman all the time, and soon arrived at the back mountain of Qinghe Town.

The back mountain at night.

A lot of little ghosts could be seen wandering around, and Xiaoluo's bride couldn't help being frightened.

Although when meeting those little ghosts on the streets of Qinghe Town, Xiaoluo Bride was not afraid.

That's just because their numbers are relatively small.

Like on the mountain, there are little ghosts everywhere, and Xiaoluo's bride is different from them, so naturally she will be afraid.

Just like when a person meets a stray dog, he will not be afraid.

But if you feel that there are stray dogs everywhere around you, you will worry about being swarmed by dogs and being eaten.

The current Xiaonet bride is probably worried about this.

"Why don't you leave?"

The woman looked at Xiaoluo's bride who was standing still, and asked her.

"Sister, I'm a little scared..."

"Afraid of what?"

"The mountain is full of ghosts."

"Isn't the hanged ghost your friend? Why are you still afraid of ghosts?"

the woman asked.

Xiaoluo's bride indeed regards the hanged ghost as a friend, but that doesn't mean that Xiaoluo's bride won't be afraid of other ghosts.

Just like we will like our own dog, but we will still be afraid when we meet other dogs following us.

"Sister, I'm going back."

After Xiaoluo's bride finished speaking, she turned around and ran towards the street of Qinghe Town.

When Xiaolu Bride ran, she wasn't very fast.

Had to find a place to hide.

Xiaoluo Bride's body is very small, so it's hard to find when she's hiding.

But even so, Xiaoluo's bride only delayed for a while, and was finally found by the woman in black.

The woman was no longer what she was before. Two fangs protruded from the woman's mouth, and her eye sockets were empty.

It looked very scary.

It was the first time for Xiaoluo bride to encounter such a ghost.

The ghost slowly approached Xiaoluo's bride.

Xiaoluo's bride squatted on the ground and lowered her head: "Wooooow, don't eat me..."

"Little sister, don't move, I won't eat you."

The woman continued to approach Xiaoluo's bride.

Xiaoluo's bride was still crying.

Just when the woman was about to bite Xiaoluo's bride, an afterimage quickly passed through the night sky, and then a woman appeared in front of Xiaolu's bride.

It is a woman wearing a bamboo hat, holding a paper umbrella, and wearing a wide-sleeved kimono.

"Xiaoluo, don't cry."

Gu Huo Niao said.

Xiaoluo's bride stopped crying and raised her head: "Sister Guhuobiao, you are here!"

"Crack, creak, another one came..."

When the woman spoke, her teeth were in her mouth, making some colliding sounds, which made people feel a little creepy.

"Xiaoluo, let's go."

Gu Huo Niao grabbed the little bride in her hand, then rolled up her sleeves and flew into the sky.

The woman looked at the bird that had disappeared into the night sky, and couldn't help saying angrily: "Damn it, it can fly. If I knew it, I would have let Yatengu come with me."

In the night sky, the bird flies fast, and the wind blows the kimono and makes a sound.

"Sister Guhuobiao, why are you here?"

Xiaoluo asked suspiciously.

"I didn't fall asleep. When I came out and saw that you were gone, I came out to look for it. I saw that Prajna wanted to eat you."

"Prajna?"

"It's the ghost that wanted to eat you just now. Her name is Banruo, and she is one of the hundred ghosts. I have seen her before."

"Oh, thank you, sister Guhuobiao."

"You don't have to thank me, Xiaoluo. It's best not to come out at night next time. It's not peaceful recently, and many ghosts have come out."

"Well, I see."

　Good evening, friends~
