That night, around 11 o'clock, I was woken up by a shove. I rubbed my blurry eyes and saw that Zhou Jing and Zhang Jinya were ready. Heizi was squatting at the door. It seemed that they were all waiting for me.
"Hurry up and get up!"
Zhang Jinya urged me, and without saying anything, he stuffed a sanitary napkin into my trouser pocket, and by the way, he put down two yellow paper talismans with strange patterns on them beside me, and said: "Red Dragon keeps it for protection, these two paper talismans are palm thunder, if there is any accident, use these paper talismans to hit the chest of the second girl! But I think this talisman paper should not be used, the second girl has just taken shape tonight, and it is not yet mature, whether it will hurt people is still unclear, holding this thing is just for you to protect yourself, okay, let's go quickly, midnight is the time when the yin energy between heaven and earth is the strongest, and it is also the time when the ghost takes shape, we don't have much time."
When I heard this, I was suddenly much more awake, and I got up from the bed and put on my shoes and went out. Fortunately, I slept with my clothes on, which saved me the trouble of putting on clothes. I directly put the Baipi Knife on my back and followed Zhang Jinya and others out the door.
When we arrived, the old village chief and four or five young men in the village were already waiting at the door of Erniu's house. When they saw us coming, they hurried over to greet us and said to Zhang Jinya, "Master Zhang, I have prepared everything you want. The nine big roosters are all the strongest in the village."
As he spoke, the old village chief pointed to the nine corners around him. Only then did I see clearly that there were nine big roosters with their mouths and legs tied with red ropes in the nine corners. They all looked very strong and seemed to have been raised for some years.
"That's right."
Zhang Jinya nodded and said, "Okay, you guys go back now. Remember, tell the villagers that no matter what noise they hear tonight, don't go out, and don't come to this place to see, otherwise if anything happens, we will not be responsible at all!"
"Don't worry, I've notified everyone, even Erniu's family."
After the old village chief finished speaking, he took the four or five young men away. He left in a hurry. It seemed that he was also scared of the midnight ghost thing.
After waiting for almost everyone to leave, Zhang Jinya took me to hide in a small forest about 30 meters away from where Erniu's coffin was parked. He chose a big tree that looked a bit old and sat behind it. He leaned against the tree and told Zhou Jing and me: "You will all obey my orders in a while. As soon as I give the order, you will immediately untie the red ropes on the big roosters' mouths, let the big roosters crow with all their strength, activate the Nine Yang Soul Trapping Formation I set up, and trap Erniu inside, so that the three of us can interrogate them. Do you understand?"
Zhou Jing and I nodded. We both remembered clearly when the old village chief pointed out the location of the big roosters just now. This is not a difficult task. The two of us can do it.
After making these arrangements, Zhang Jinya ignored us and closed his eyes and leaned against a tree to rest. I didn't say anything when I saw this. I found a tree and leaned against it and closed my eyes and waited patiently. Heizi lay beside me obediently. I don't know why, but this mastiff was particularly sticky to me. So I simply changed to a more comfortable position and leaned on Heizi. Probably because I was very tired after running around all day, I fell asleep after a while.
I don't know how long I slept. Anyway, I felt something constantly nudging my legs in a daze. I opened my eyes and saw that it was Heizi.
This dog is very human. Seeing that I woke up, it barked twice and pointed to a place with its mouth raised. I looked in that direction and found that Zhang Jinya and Zhou Jing had come out from behind the tree at some point and were lying in a low bush to peek at the place where Erniu's coffin was placed.
As soon as I saw the situation, I knew that it was probably time, so I quickly tiptoed over with Heizi.
"You are awesome!"
Zhang Jinya grinned when he saw me coming, and the big gold tooth in his mouth looked particularly eye-catching. He gave me a thumbs up and said in a low voice: "You can still sleep even though you know that a ghost will appear here in the middle of the night. Your nerves are almost as thick as your father who can eat and sleep well even though he is trapped in a thousand-year-old tomb."
I smiled bitterly and was embarrassed to say that it was actually because of my weak body. My physical strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people. I was exhausted after running around all day. If it were any other day, I would have collapsed. It is a miracle that I can hold on until now. Sleeping has nothing to do with my nerves. It is mainly because I am tired! !
I ignored him and lay in the bushes looking at the coffin of the second girl. I found that the edge of the coffin had begun to emit wisps of white smoke, and the white smoke was increasing.
I could clearly feel that the temperature around me had begun to drop sharply. The leaves of the bushes in front of me were covered with a layer of white frost! !
It was July now. This situation had occurred without any signs. It was definitely that something dirty was about to appear. This was not the first time for me to get married. I knew very well that this sharp drop in temperature was caused by the gathering of yin energy.
Bang!
Without any signs, the lid of the coffin made a loud noise, which really scared me. Then there was a continuous clanging sound. I could even clearly see that the lid of the coffin was shaking up and down, as if something was about to come out!
The white smoke coming out of the coffin became thicker at this time, and gradually formed a human shape in front of the coffin.
"Something is wrong."
Zhang Jinya whispered beside me: "This Erniu is just a newly formed ghost, where does such a heavy yin energy come from? It seems that things tonight are going to change."
I was shocked by what Zhang Jinya said, but before I could ask, the group of white smoke in the shape of a person in front of the coffin changed again. The white smoke began to dissipate gradually, revealing the back of a woman.
The woman was wearing a big red dress, with her back to us, her hair loose, and her back was slender. Although I couldn't see her face, I could tell from her figure at a glance that this was Erniu in the coffin. Although Erniu's body had been destroyed beyond recognition, it would be an exaggeration to describe it as horrible, but her figure was still maintained, and it was exactly the same as the back of the woman in red in front of me!
I couldn't help but widen my eyes, and even my breathing slowed down involuntarily. I stared at Erniu's back almost without blinking. After a closer look, I found that Erniu was not wearing red clothes at all. It was the red light coming out of her body. Because it was too hot, I mistakenly thought she was wearing red clothes. If I looked closely, I would find that under the red light was a white female body!!
I suddenly remembered the content about the life of the underworld that I had read in a book at home. It said that there is actually no clothing for sale in the underworld. After the ghosts are formed, they wear the shrouds they wore when they died. If they want to wear other clothes, they have to rely on their relatives in the world to burn them. So sometimes if you often dream of a dead relative of yours walking around in front of you without clothes or shoes, it means that this dead relative has no clothes or shoes to wear underground, so he sent you a dream. Go to his grave and burn some and the dream will disappear naturally.
And this Erniu died a pitiful death. After she died, the old village chief paid for a thin coffin. Her family bought almost nothing for her, not to mention hiring a funeral professional to prepare her remains. She didn't even have burial clothes. The animal that examined the body stripped her clothes and cut her body into pieces and threw it into the coffin. It was normal for her to have no clothes on her body after she became a ghost.
Thinking of this, I felt more pity and sympathy for this Erniu.
Zhang Jinya, who was beside me, obviously saw the secret of Erniu at this time. He took a breath and muttered in a low voice: "Damn it, this is clearly a fierce ghost. The ghost just formed and became a fierce ghost. It's clearly going to harm people. If the three of us hadn't encountered it when it just formed, we would be in trouble when it killed a few people."
It would have been better if this guy didn't speak. As soon as he spoke, the ghost of Erniu turned his head and looked towards us. Zhang Jinya quickly shut up.
After Erniu turned into a fierce ghost, her appearance was not ferocious, unlike the fierce ghost in the mass grave, whose appearance was similar to that of a normal person, and better looking than her corpse. The skin of her corpse was cut off, and her face was bloody and you couldn't see what she looked like. Now that she has become a fierce ghost, you can see her appearance. Her face shape and facial features are quite delicate, except for her pair of eyes, which are a little creepy, blood red!
However, she only glanced at us, and then turned her head and floated towards the door of her house without touching the ground, and knocked on her door four times. As the saying goes, people knock three times, while ghosts knock four times. So if you hear someone knocking on the door four times in the middle of the night, don't open the door!
"Oh no, a ghost is knocking on the door in the middle of the night, it wants to hurt people!"
Zhang Jinya's face suddenly changed: "After Erniu turned into a fierce ghost, her eyes were bloodshot, and she only had resentment for all the unfair experiences in her life. Now she is knocking on her own door, obviously to seek revenge on the parents who abused her in her life!!"
After saying that, Zhang Jinya stood up from the bushes and roared: "Evil beast, I am here, how can I let you hurt people?"
After saying that, this guy took out a "red dragon" from his trouser pocket and slapped it on his chest, holding the ink line dyed red with black dog blood in his hand and rushed towards Erniu.
