The next morning, Qi Lu and Lao Wu drove to the pond again.
The sky was gloomy and melancholy, Qi Lu carefully observed the panorama of the pond and found that it had long been filled in by abandoned bricks and tiles, and occasionally some weeds poked out of the cracks in the stones and the young leaves grew stubbornly.
The faint sunlight stretched the figure of the locust tree long, dancing wildly on the ground like a ghost shadow as the cold wind raged.
"I'm a little scared."
Lao Wu took a sip of wine to suppress his shock.
Qi Lu replied disdainfully: "What are you afraid of, the ghosts don't dare to come out to trouble us during the day." ” "Can you be sure that the stuff is down there" "You can't be wrong."
Qi Lu raised his hoe and followed yesterday's mark, digging in the direction of the roots of the ground under the tree.
"Also, how could a ghost remember the wrong place for his own things."
Lao Wu also followed to dig the soil.
Soon, in the ground nearly a meter deep under the old locust tree, a white-flowered skull appeared.
"Digged" Qi Lu excitedly stretched out his hands, took out the skull from the ground, and carefully brushed off the dirt on it.
In the sunlight, the black and hollow eyes on the skulls stared directly at them, and there was a feeling of ghostly shadows.
Qi Lu held up the skull with both hands, and then slowly held it in front of his eyes.
In a trance, Qi Lu seemed to hear it talking to himself, the voice was very, very soft, it was not a sound that could be heard with his ears, but some kind of chanting coming from the depths of the netherworld.
Qi Lu instantly felt a wave of sadness and pain contagious to the depths of his soul, he gently stroked it, feeling its thoughts, its resentment, its pain, its hatred, hoping that this female ghost could tell him everything he wanted to know.
Just when Qi Lu was thinking wildly, he heard Lao Wu laugh and say, "It's still your kid who is smart, and you actually thought of finding the lost skull by using a female ghost to guide the way." ” Qi Lu didn't speak, his fingers had unconsciously touched the eyebrow bones of those eyes.
The eye socket was sunken deeply, and his fingers instinctively reached into the socket and into its interior.
Although it was empty inside, Qi Lu felt something cold running through his fingers.
Just when Qi Lu was surprised, he suddenly saw a blood-red snake coming out of the eye socket of the skull, it opened its mouth wide, as if it was about to bite at any time, and Qi Lu had already smelled the rancid smell coming from the snake's mouth.
Qi Lu was secretly frightened, and quickly reached out and grabbed the body of the snake covered with mud, and the temperature like ice quickly spread along its body to Qi Lu's palm, almost letting this strange snake slip out of his hand.
The Blood Snake did not give in, it struggled desperately in Qi Lu's hands, and from time to time it stuck out its tongue and made a piercing cry.
Qi Lu felt that the snake was slippery like a loach, and he really couldn't pinch its body, so he let it break free and wanted to bite himself in a blink of an eye.
Qi Lu dared to slacken, and quickly pinched the mantra with his left hand, and the soft body of the blood snake instantly became as stiff as wood.
Qi Lu grabbed it carefully, carefully observing the ever-expanding snake letter in its mouth.
Lao Wu said casually: "Throw it on the ground and let me send it back to the west with a hoe." ” "Don't do this" Qi Lu hurriedly stopped Lao Wu's actions, and then asked him: "There is actually a snake in the skull, don't you think it's strange?"
"What's so strange about this, tomb robbers often find foxes popping out of coffins in ancient tombs, it's just a snake that hasn't woken up from hibernation."
"Then have you ever seen a snake letter like this?"
Lao Wu looked at it and couldn't help but be surprised, this was a snake letter, slender and crimson, clearly a woman's tongue.
"Nightmare Spirit" Lao Wu finally understood what was going on.
"Yes, this is the nightmare spirit of the female ghost in red."
Qi Lu stared at the snake's head for a long time before saying, "I said how this ghost doesn't hurt people, it turns out that she sealed all her resentment in her skull in the form of a snake." ” The vicious female ghost actually sealed all her grievances, so what is the point of her nostalgia for the world, is there anything more important to her than revenge Qi Lu really can't figure it out.
"You seem to have forgotten something."
Lao Wu replied unhurriedly.
"What's the matter?"
"No matter how powerful a ghost is, even if he cultivates to the legendary realm of ghosts and immortals, there is still something taboo for him."
"That's right" Qi Lu suddenly realized, he patted Lao Wu's shoulder excitedly, "I actually forgot such an important fact." ” As the old saying goes, in the sun, people can't see ghosts; In the underworld, the devil cannot touch anyone.
A ghost wandering in the human world, any object is nothing but a void to him, so he can pass through as he pleases and ignore its existence.
But in fact, many people who encounter ghosts feel that they have a different experience from the above statement, and in their eyes, the ghosts they encounter are no different from ordinary people, not only can they be aware of the existence of each other, but they can also chat, hug, and even complete many things with people that are not usually possible.
Actually, that's an illusion, it's just a false impression that the ghost has created in your mind, in fact, he has no physical contact with your body, on the contrary, when you do these things, the ghost is probably hiding from the sidelines to see you look at you.
The only way for a ghost to regain the touch of his life is through hard cultivation and continuous study and practice that he can possess this instinct that is so ordinary to a living person.
Even so, even if the ghost cultivates to the highest level and turns into a ghost immortal, there is still one thing that he will never touch, and it is the body of the ghost before his death, and of course, the remains of the bones after the decomposition of the body.
Therefore, after Lao Wu's reminder, Qi Lu was sure that the blood snake spirit sealed in the skull in his hand would never be something that the female ghost in red could do by herself.
Qi Lu said to himself: "This female ghost is really pitiful, she died unexpectedly before she died, and she will not be at peace after death, and even her soul will be at the mercy of others."
But who exactly gave her this spell, and what was he doing it for?"
Old Wu was silent, because he also didn't know the answer.

"Now that we know it's a Nightmare Spirit, maybe we can find some clues from it."
After speaking, Qi Lu recited another incantation, and only halfway through the reciting of this incantation, the blood snake's body regained its freedom, and Qi Lu quickly pinched its seven inches to prevent it from breaking free from his hands again.
After Qi Lu's incantation was finished, in the snake's abdomen, something suddenly moved like a living thing, it swam in the direction of the snake's head, and finally stopped close to seven inches and slowly protruded.
Qi Lu took the slender object out of the snake's body and almost scratched his fingers.
This is a silver needle about an inch long, and it is shining with a cold white light in Qi Lu's hand at this moment.
"Soul Fixing Needle, it seems that someone is really making trouble."
Lao Wu said.
"It's been decades, and this needle is actually not rusty" Qi Lu noticed this unexplainable phenomenon, he knew in his heart that there must be too many ulterior secrets behind the female ghost in red, so he handed over the soul fixing needle to Lao Wu and asked him to find a professional institution to identify the time when this needle was made.
After Lao Wu took the needle, he said, "It's better to destroy the spirit as soon as possible, if you let it return to the body of the female ghost in red, it will be a big trouble." ” "Hmm."
Qi Lu agreed very much with Lao Wu's proposal, he took out a talisman and pasted it on the snake's head, and then wrapped the talisman paper around the snake's body like twisting a twist.
The blood snake's eyes immediately bulged, staring at Qi Lu viciously like human eyes, with a resentful expression.
Qi Lu pretended not to see it, pressed his left index finger on the snake's head, and whispered a mantra in his mouth, and Lao Wu was also reciting the same incantation with him beside him.
The blood snake seemed to be in pain stimulated by the spell, it struggled to break free from Qi Lu's right palm, and then climbed straight up along his left arm, trying to wrap around Qi Lu's neck.
Qi Lu ignored it, still chanting incantations.
With a "snort", the blood snake was finally defeated, it fell to the ground weakly, and its body began to turn into a cloud of black gas.
The black qi accumulated more and more, hovering in front of Qi Lu's eyes for a long time.
Then it suddenly condensed, turning into a distorted figure in the air, like a woman hiding her face and weeping.
The woman's face gradually became clear, and it was a beautiful girl's face, Qi Lu quickly took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the ghost.
Lao Wu asked: "This is the true face of the female ghost in red" "You can't be wrong."
Qi Lu praised Lao Wu while looking at the photos in the camera: "Thanks to this ghost photography software you installed for me, I relied on it to find the bloody handprints of monsters in the funeral home last time." ” "It's not my credit, the software was invented by those trendy little Taoists of the Zhengyi faction when they were bored, and I just smuggled it from their computers."
The two chatted, but before they could fully see the true image of the female ghost in red, the black smoke slowly dispersed, and finally dispersed in the air.
"Hehe" Qi Lu smiled: "The spirit has dissipated, this female ghost just wants to harm people, I'm afraid that I will also be blamed by my conscience."
Lao Wu said: "Don't be wronged, let's find out her identity as soon as possible." ” Qi Lu looked at the photo and frowned and said, "With only half a face, can you recognize who this female ghost is?"
Lao Wu asked: "It's very simple, the skull of the female ghost is in our hands, let's do it now to recruit the female ghost again, can we find out the identity of the female ghost and ask the name of the murderer incidentally."
"Don't do this" Qi Lu said resolutely: "We don't know who sealed the female ghost here, and if we rashly summon the spirit, we may be plotted by the master behind the scenes." ” Lao Wu cross-examined: "Didn't you just trick me just now, and I don't think there is any danger in recruiting the female ghost."
"It's different, we're in the open, the enemy is in the dark, and if he wants to sneak attack, we'll definitely suffer a big loss.
Anyway, the female ghost's skull also fell into our hands, so let's go back to the company and recruit her soul again. ” "Hehe, you also say that I am cowardly, in fact, you are also afraid of death."
"This is cautious, do you understand" Qi Lu covered his mouth and yawned, put the skull into a cloth bag full of charms, and then beckoned Lao Wu to return to the company with him. i0 t1706231537:
