The cannon fodder of fast time travel has to struggle

Chapter 585
"White moonlight, shining on the pond, Xiaobao falls asleep obediently. The night wind blows, the bamboo basket shakes, Xiaobao grows taller after eating. White moonlight, shining on the pond, Xiaobao..."

The creaking shaking sound, accompanied by a soft lullaby, echoed around this quiet and desolate village.

The moon hid in the clouds at some point, and the night wind blew occasionally, rolling up the scattered leaves from nowhere, and passing by the weedy flagstone road in curls.

This is a small village along the Xishui River, located halfway up the south side of Shiju Mountain.When Xiangwan was tracking down the evil spirit that occupied San'er's body, he found this place, so he came over to find a place to rest.

Entering the village at dusk, I walked a long circle without seeing a single person.In the village, the roads are paved with stone slabs, the walls are built with stone blocks, and the roof is also built with stone slabs, which looks very distinctive.

The distance between each house does not exceed one foot, and there are lanes for people to walk in front and back.The village was not very big, and Xiang Wan walked around a lot, and found that none of the windows was complete, either the paper on the windows had been blown off by the wind, or the edges of the windows had been damaged.Walking to the window of a family and looking in, the tables, chairs and other things inside were all scattered on the ground in a disorderly manner, but the door was closed tightly.Door cracks and other ventilated places were all tightly sealed with red and white wax paper, and yellow talismans for exorcising ghosts were pasted in many places.

Xiang Wan lightly jumped onto the roof and used her spiritual sense to check her surroundings. This was the case in almost every household.

There was no one alive, so Xiang Wan found a house on the highest ground, entered through the window, found a relatively sturdy chair and stool, sat cross-legged on it, and closed his eyes to rest.

It's the twelfth lunar month, and it's bleak everywhere.After the sun had completely set, the village was left with nothing but desolation.

The unpeeled window paper on the window edge slaps the wall from time to time, making a "pop" sound, accompanied by the long and sad lullaby, as if to beat it.

"Xiaobao, come back...Xiaobao, mother has made some delicious food for you, so we don't have to go hungry..."

A vague figure floated past the window, and the voice came from her mouth.

Xiang Wan got up, walked lightly, and followed the figure.

"Xiaobao, mother has cooked you a lot of delicious food, please eat slowly, ah."

The voice came from a dilapidated room, Xiang Wan reached out and knocked on the door.

"Who?" The voice inside was a little panicked.

"I've brought something to your house, open the door quickly."

"No, I don't! Go away! Go away!"

The voice suddenly became sharp and piercing, and Xiang Wan simply kicked the door open, and a red figure quickly rushed towards Wan.

The ghost-catching bag has already been prepared, and there is one pocket, and the female ghost is taken into it.

"Wicked man, let me go! My child, my child is still outside. Xiaobao can't live without a mother. Please, let me go."

"Child? Do you mean this mummy lying in the cradle?"

"No - Xiaobao is not a mummy, he is still alive! He..."

Xiang Wan pasted a ghost-suppressing talisman on it, and the female voice stopped abruptly.Opening the pocket again, he put the female ghost on the ground. Xiang Wan found a chair and sat down, carefully looking at the female ghost.

This female ghost was wearing a red dress, her hair was loose, and her face was very delicately made up. Even if she used the Suppressing Ghost Talisman to remove her illusion, there was no change in the slightest.

"Tell me, how did the people in the village die?"

Xiang Wan changed the Taoist ghost talisman so that she could speak.

"I did no harm, never did."

Having said it so decisively, Xiang Wan sneered, and pinched a corpse transformation talisman on his fingertips, and was about to stick it on the mummy.

"Don't hurt Xiaobao! The child is so small, don't hurt him!"

Xiang Wan's hands froze, and he looked sideways at her, waiting for her explanation.

"Ten years ago, I married into Xiaoye Village and gave birth to Xiaobao. I was full of joy. But when Xiaobao was one year old, he became seriously ill, and there was no cure. A fortune teller came here, and I was desperate. Asked him for help. He was willing to help Xiaobao, gave me a pill, and said that as long as I took it, Xiaobao would live. Which mother can bear to see her child suffer so much at such a young age?"

"continue."

"When I woke up, everyone was gone... My little treasure is still alive, he didn't lie to me. Xiaobao is very good, he likes to sleep very much, he doesn't make trouble at all..."

Xiang Wan's eyes flashed, he held the soul-taking comb in his palm and handed it to the female ghost.

"Comb your hair with it, and the child will wake up."

The female ghost stared straight at the comb, and hesitated: "This... is this true?"

"Try it, won't it make it clear?"

As he said that, without waiting for the ghost to respond, Xiang Wan directly picked up the comb and thrust it into the ghost's head.

"Smelly man, he didn't even take the bait!"

The female ghost's strength suddenly surged, and she turned the ghost talisman into powder, her body elongated in a straight line, and her hands were like soft noodles, circling towards Wan.

Xiang Wan didn't bother her too much, and the exorcism sword swept across, and the tip of the sword pierced into the chest of the mummy with a cold light.

A dagger pierced Xiang Wan's ear into the wall behind him.

"Do you still have any sympathy? How can you kill her child when she wanders around the world for her child?"

A young figure involuntarily slashed at Wan with a sword.

With such a stunned head, Xiang Wan didn't bother to explain to him, so he shook him aside with a backhand palm, raised the exorcism sword, and pierced the mummy's head again.

The female ghost let out a shrill scream, unable to maintain her figure, turned into a cloud of green smoke and escaped.

Xiang Wan withdrew his sword and flew after him.

"Hey, wait for me!"

The tail behind him was thrown off in a few strokes.Xiang Wan followed the green smoke to a mass grave.

Green smoke penetrated into one of the grave mounds, where the surrounding area was covered with thatch, and the blue will-o'-the-wisps fluttered and flickered.

It turned into a will-o'-the-wisp, indicating that the souls of these people have long since lost consciousness, and will gradually dissipate between heaven and earth as time goes by.That being the case, based on the principle of not wasting, Xiang Wan put all of them into the ghost bag, waiting for the system to slowly purify and absorb them.

"Let me tell you, I've seen everything you did. You're doing evil things, and even ghosts without a master will be spared. I will never sit idly by."

Xiang Wan turned around, the stunned-headed Qing was obviously stunned for a moment, his hand holding the sword tightened, but he didn't run away.

I have the guts, but I'm a bit weak.

This was his first impression of Xiang Wan.

Ignoring him, Xiang Wan drew a talisman with her bare hands, pointed at the place where the green smoke was, and the talisman disappeared and a ghost appeared.

How glorious it was before, how miserable this female ghost is now.

There were signs of dryness all over his body, his hair was sparse and falling on his bald forehead, his eyes were sunken, and his mouth and nose were all hollow.

When Lengtouqing saw the ghost that appeared, the sword in his hand shifted unconsciously, and moved to Xiang Wan's side unwillingly, swaying.

Xiang Wan took out the soul-destroying comb, and said: "The body is full of evil, but you still have a little kindness, so I allow you to enter my comb. If not, the underworld will send you to the eighteenth level of hell, and you will never be reborn."

The empty eyes of the female ghost suddenly ignited the will-o'-the-wisp, and the shadows of the flames clustered together, as if burning the soul.

"Why didn't you fall for it?"

"It's very simple, because of your song. There is no pond here, and you have never given birth to a child. You don't belong here, you were tricked here. What kind of benefits did the ghost who lied to you promise you?"

"I don't know."

"In mountain villages, there is no economic condition to dress up, so you have greatly preserved the makeup and clothing at the moment when you were alive. Clothing materials and patterns must be found in towns, and rouge and gouache are not so complete here. This village, It has only been abandoned in the past three years, but you said that you have been here for ten years. That mummy is not a baby, but an artifact that was artificially taken to bind your soul. Now, the artifact has been destroyed, and the ghost who lied to you at the beginning It will come to you soon, and the underworld will come to catch you. No matter what, it is not the result you want. Burning your soul is useless, because before you disappear, they will definitely imprison you. So, wish Trust me once, maybe I can still help you."

The female ghost was silent for a moment, gradually extinguished the fire in her eyes, and said quietly: "He said, as long as I stay here and gather enough vitality, I can escape from the control of the underworld, travel freely between the human world and the underworld, and find my lover. "

"I didn't kill the people in Xiaoye Village. They were obsessed with ghosts and insisted on raising little ghosts to make money. I just...just..."

"You just didn't stop it. You just took advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and use that mummy to absorb life, right?" Xiang Wan interjected.

The female ghost nodded slowly, "The little ghost's appetite was raised by them, and he became less and less satisfied with the offerings, and began to eat people. In order to stop the little ghost, the villagers heard from somewhere that they only need to use all the gaps before going to bed at night. Paste the wax paper on it, and you can sleep peacefully. Unexpectedly, the little ghost was irritated, and at night, he would cry and howl like ghosts and wolves, causing panic in the village. Many people couldn't stand this stimulus and chose to move out of here, but they couldn't escape the little ghost The people who remained were harassed for a long time, in a trance, lured by little ghosts, smashed into windows and went to the mountains to commit suicide collectively. These graves were built by some kind people."

"The kid dare not touch you, is it because of that mummy?"

The female ghost nodded, "Every once in a while, he will come to collect anger."

"Your body is also here?"

"It's my shelter. I can't get out of Xiaoye Village without enough soul power."

"How long has it been since that ghost left?"

"I don't remember, it seemed like two years ago."

"Where did the kid go?"

"Follow him."

"Is your lover also working for him?"

"he……"

Xiang Wan understood the female ghost's numbness, so he couldn't help but put her in the ghost bag again.

Those ghosts are playing a big game of chess, and this female ghost is just the tip of the iceberg.The truth behind the scenes is still shrouded in fog.The road ahead is difficult and dangerous, and it is time to train a striker.

Xiang Wan turned around and looked at Lengtouqing.The latter swallowed, and unconsciously tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, his palms began to sweat.

"If you want to live, stay with me."
