Chapter Twenty-Three: A Bite of the Ghost


The next day, Qi Lu decided to go to Hailong Village to find Village Chief Yan again, considering the village's custom of not talking to strangers before the ceremony, Qi Lu was worried about going to his house during the day to provoke the gossip of his neighbors, so he waited until after eight o'clock in the evening to take Lao Wu and Ding Xiaolan to the village chief's house.

At this time, there were not many entertainment activities in the countryside, at most they got together to play mahjong, and they didn't meet anyone along the way.

But when he knocked on Uncle Yan's door, he couldn't help but be taken aback, because he saw Xu Chunlin sitting on the sofa and smiling at him with Erlang's legs crossed.

I saw Xu Chunlin say to Yan Jun with a smug expression: "How is it, old village chief, I'm not wrong, this young man is here after all." ” Xu Chunlin is a feng shui gentleman, and his physiognomy will naturally not be bad, not to mention that yesterday he predicted that he would be plagued by disasters, and it would not be difficult for him to come to the village chief's house today.

Thinking of this, Qi Lu was not surprised.

So he responded with a smile: "It seems that Master Xu expected me to visit today" "Of course."

"Then can you guess the purpose of my coming to Uncle Yan's house today?"

"Hehe" Xu Chunlin said even more proudly: "You haven't entered the door yet, so I told the village chief the reason why you came today." ” "Oh, is it" Qi Lu had a smile on his face, but he didn't believe that he could guess his thoughts, because he only told Lao Wu what he really thought in his heart.

"You want to replace Yan Yuping as a human sacrifice and take the opportunity to go to sea to solve that demon, right?"

Qi Lu was suddenly taken aback, and realized that he had underestimated Xu Chunlin, this guy could actually spy on other people's minds, which was really terrifying.

"Alas" Yan Jun was surprised when he saw Qi Lu on the road, and knew that Xu Chunlin was right, and he let out a long sigh from his chest.

And his son Yan Yu stood up calmly and said to Qi Lu with gratitude: "Thank you, Xiao Qi, I have received your love, but I am against you doing this." ” "Lao Yan, you don't know spells, and if you go, you will die in vain.

And I am a person who walks yin and yang, at least I have a chance to destroy that evil spirit. ” "This is our Yan family's business, how can I let you, an outsider, risk your life to send you to death" "Lao Yan, you are wrong, this evil spirit has killed many villagers, it can't be your family's private matter."

Qi Lu then said: "Since Uncle Chen left me with your father a photo with him, it is because he believes that I can solve this problem."

Yan Jun said: "Xiao Chen did say when he gave me the photo that you would come to our village in the near future to get rid of this demon.

But" "There is nothing but" Qi Lu interrupted the old man's words, and then clarified his thoughts: "We can't show weakness anymore.

Human sacrifice may satisfy the demon's momentary needs, but it will fuel his arrogance.

By the time he ravages the villagers, more innocent people will die. ” The room fell silent, and Yan Jun and the others understood that what Qi Lu said was the truth, so they had to lower their heads and remain silent.

After a while, Xu Chunlin spoke slowly, "It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, I admire your courage." ” "So, you agree to my request" Qi Lu's eyes were like torches.

"On the contrary, I am against your proposal."

"Why" "Because Lao Yan and I went to sea, we may have a chance to live; If it were you, it wouldn't be easy to say. ” "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Chunlin got up and walked to Qi Lu, attached to his ear and whispered: "Everyone likes to pinch soft persimmons, and demons and monsters are no exception.

Yan Yuping went to sea with me, and if she encountered that demon, the first person she dealt with would be Yan Yuping, who didn't know how to spell.

If it were you and me, guess who the demon would deal with first?"

"I don't know."

Qi Lu replied honestly.

"I don't know."

Xu Chunlin smiled gloomily, and then said: "In other words, while the demon devours Yan Yuping, I still have time and opportunity to escape; And the two of us who know magic are together, if she deals with me first, you say, do I still have a chance to live?"

"You" Hearing Xu Chunlin's face not blushing and his heart beating to say such selfish words, Qi Lu's lungs were about to explode.

If he still had a little bit of a good impression of Xu Chunlin last night, he is now completely disappointed in him.

Ding Xiaolan didn't have a good impression of Xu Chunlin, although she didn't hear what was whispered between the two, but she guessed that it wouldn't be a good thing, so she said in a sarcastic tone: "Master Xu, I think you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head."

"Hmph."

Xu Chunlin left Qi Lu with a cold smile and sat back on the sofa.

Ding Xiaolan said reluctantly: "Are you afraid of death, or are you worried that Qi Lu will steal your limelight?"

"The chances of stealing the limelight and coming back alive are almost zero."

Xu Chunlin replied angrily.

"Then you doubt Qi Lu's ability."

Ding Xiaolan smiled and said, "As the old saying goes, there is strength in numbers.

Why do you have to go to sea with two people, Lao Wu and I can also go together, and we can also help you. ” "No, you can't go" Qi Lu shook his head again and again.

"It's okay if I don't go, but I have to take Lao Wu with me."

Ding Xiaolan also knew that her mana was low, even if she was willing to give up her life to accompany Qi Lu to the sea, he would categorically veto, so she retreated.

"No, it's useless for me to go" Lao Wu shook his head like a rattle when he heard Ding Xiaolan tell him to destroy the evil spirit.

"Why, you're also afraid of death" Ding Xiaolan knew that Lao Wu's cowardice had been committed again.

But now and the past are different from the past, Qi Lu's true anger is gone, his mana is not as good as before, even Xu Chunlin looks down on him a little, if Lao Wu does not accompany him, Qi Lu will not be able to come back on this trip.

The more Ding Xiaolan thought about it, the more anxious she became, she stared at Lao Wu angrily, and her face was already showing an angry rakshasa look.

"That cannot be said, reckless actions can only lead to unnecessary sacrifices."

Lao Wu said leisurely: "Do you know what we are dealing with, how much do you know about him?"

"Hmph, when you figure everything out, it's dawn" "As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent is the only way to win all battles.

If we act like a headless fly, what difference is that from being sent to death. ” Ding Xiaolan was so angry that she couldn't speak, what she hated most was Lao Wu's virtue, obviously she was as timid as a mouse, but she could always find a high-sounding reason.

Qi Lu didn't think so, he nodded and agreed with Lao Wu's point of view.

"Lao Wu is right, being cautious is not a bad thing." ot how can you be like this ot ding xiaolan s face was a little unbearable she said loudly ot if you are all timid, how much progress can things make if this matter gets out, it will only make your peers see jokes ot OT is a bit tricky, we don't have much of a clue yet, and the situation is very unfavorable for us.

Qi Lu's face was a little depressed.

Xu Chunlin watched them quarrel a little gloatingly, his eyes were rolling in his bones, and no one knew what wishful thinking he was making.

Suddenly, he spoke, "Miss Ding, what do you think is the scourge of the villagers?"

"Needless to say, of course, it was the madwoman who came to take revenge on the villagers."

"Why, do you think she's a ghost?"

"This still needs to be asked, the facts are clear."

"Hehe," Xu Chunlin sneered, "If you hold this kind of thought, you won't be wronged to die a hundred times." ” "What do you mean by that?"

"Ever since that trip to sea with Lao Chen, we seem to have angered that crazy woman, who not only appeared on the sea, but even came to harass the villagers on land.

But the time she appears is night."

Ding Xiaolan sneered: "This doesn't mean that she is a ghost, because she is afraid of the sun during the day, so she appears at night." ” "Hmph, you must have heard about her before."

Xu Chunlin said coldly: "This crazy woman used to appear in the daytime."

"This" Ding Xiaolan was dumbfounded, choked by Xu Chunlin and couldn't speak.

The ghost is a yin thing, and it is impossible for him to appear in the daytime, even those who do not know magic know this simple truth.

"Master Xu means that this crazy woman is not a ghost, or that he is just harming people in the name of a crazy woman" Qi Lu heard the mystery from Xu Chunlin's words.

"It's just a matter of hiding your true identity to carry out your own evil deeds."

"If he's not a ghost, then what" "Have you ever heard of a ghost" Xu Chunlin did not answer his question, but asked Qi Lu instead.

"Ghost bite" Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, and then relieved.

Oni Ichichi is not a ghost, but a yokai in Japanese legends, a very cruel youkai.

Sailing in the ocean, sometimes you will find a drowning young woman floating on the surface of the sea.

According to the logic of ordinary people, they will approach the ship and prepare to rescue her on board, but the experienced old crew will do everything in their power to prevent you from doing so.

It's not that the old crew is cold-blooded and ruthless, but because this woman is not human, it is actually a murderous monster ghost.

The image of a beautiful woman is nothing more than a bait for a ghost's mouth, its tongue to be exact.

Whenever this youkai wants to eat people, it lurks its body under the sea level and then opens its mouth wide and sticks its tongue out.

The fishermen, who did not know the truth, saw its tongue from afar and thought it was a weak woman who was about to be swallowed by the ocean.

The ghost uses this trick to lure people to save her, and then eat them.

Of course, Qi Lu had heard of the legend of a ghost, and he couldn't help but shrug his eyebrows and said, "Do you say that this monster is a ghost?"

"Yes.

The old village chief's sister-in-law has long since died, and the ghost deliberately transforms her tongue into her image, which can not only hide her identity, but also create greater panic in the village. ” Qi Lu remembered Xu Chunlin's magic of gods, and it seemed that he had a deep relationship with Japan, so he said that this monster was a ghost.

So he smiled and said, "That sounds a little reasonable."

However, the monsters have their own sphere of influence, and it is difficult for foreign monsters to invade China. ” "The last time I fought with Lao Chen when I went to sea to fight this monster, I had already found that although the madwoman was terrifying, she couldn't cause us substantial harm.

This shows that she's just a phantom and not real, so my spells don't work against it. ” This is an important clue, Qi Lu held back the joy in his heart and continued to listen to Xu Chunlin's words.

"But when the so-called divine dragon dived out of the bottom of the sea, the madwoman disappeared, and Lao Chen almost fell into the sea to feed the fish."

After saying this, Xu Chunlin glanced at Qi Lu meaningfully.

Qi Lu didn't know the meaning in his eyes, so he said: "Are you saying that the dragon is the real body of the ghost, and when it appeared in front of you, it naturally withdrew its tongue, so the crazy woman disappeared."

Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing. i0 t1706231537:
