The widow told Shanhai about Shuanzi's situation.
I invited eminent monks, drank talisman water, and had acupuncture from witch doctors. I tried every possible method, but nothing improved. This child now even has to be forced to eat. It is said that at the beginning, it was just like the hungry ghost, banging against walls and doors, but he used all parts of his body - head, knees, side ankles. His whole body was twisted like a rag, which was very terrifying.
Shanhai followed the widow and a few men to the back room, and asked Aluan to wait outside.
Shuanzi's hands and feet were tied horizontally to the stakes, and his eyes were filled with blood. Under his neck were two pillows placed by the widow. As soon as she took them off, Shuan's head turned over hard, as if being torn off by invisible hands.
"If he hadn't been clamped like this, his neck bones would have been shaking..." the widow said worriedly.
Shanhai stepped forward, opened his eyes, and lifted the messy hair from his forehead that had not been taken care of for a long time, and stared at Yintang for a few seconds. Then, he took out the Bahuang Mirror and shined it right in front of Shuanzi's face, but there was no reaction.
"It's not that evil spirits have entered the body..."
He muttered softly. The widow wanted to say something else, but he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He took out another written talisman and asked others to burn the ashes and soak them in water.
Then, Shan Hai closed his eyes, picked up the fly whisk, closed his eyes, and recited a spell.
Die openly and secretly, die unjustly, creditor and enemy, beg for life...
After a long time, he opened his eyes, but the bolt was still the same, twitching through the tightly wrapped rope.
It's not a ghost.
"Taoist Master, the water is here!"
At this time, Butcher Chen handed over a bowl of gray water. Everyone saw that Taoist Master Lin looked ugly and did not dare to ask any more questions. Only the widow spoke cautiously:
"Then, will drinking this bowl of water make you feel better?"
"These are just tests. I see that there is no black line on his forehead, and it is not visible in the mirror, and the rebirth spell is useless to him. Therefore, the evil in this child may not be easy to deal with."
"You mean...?"
"When a ghost casts a curse, you can only kill the ghost who cast the curse. There is no other way. After drinking this bowl of talisman water, if he does not vomit it out, or vomits less, it proves that the ghost is easy to deal with; if I’m vomiting so much that I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do.”
The widow's face turned pale. The old man saw her standing there and said quickly: "What are you doing standing there? Give her a drink!"
Only then did she realize what she was doing, and she brought the gray water to Taoist Master Lin with both hands. Someone helped open the plug's mouth, and the widow tremblingly poured water into his mouth.
When the bowl came close to the bolt, he seemed extremely repelled and his whole body was trembling. When the widow gave him the water, what Shan Hai was worried about happened, and it was even more serious - as soon as the water was in his stomach, it went straight up.
When the mother rushed up and covered his mouth, water came out of his nose. So the widow panicked and didn't know what to do. Someone pulled her aside and watched Shuanzi's reaction. He vomited for a long time without stopping, and even vomited out more than he drank. And among the pile of liquid that kept pouring out, there were some semi-digested solids mixed in - the child vomited out all the food he had eaten, leaving it all over his body and on the ground.
The people on the side did not dare to say a word, until finally, the contents of their stomachs were vomited out. When Shuan Zi was retching, he actually vomited out yellow gall water.
Shuanzi's mother fainted immediately.
Lin Shanhai's face was extremely expressionless. He is an authentic exorcist, but his level is limited to "exorcism". If he wants to "kill", he has never done this in all these years.
What's more, he was in trouble for such a difficult monster to deal with.
As he walked out of the house, he felt his legs shaking. It's not that I'm afraid or regretful, it's just that I feel like I can't shoulder this responsibility. Now, the most dangerous situation has been clearly put on the table for him. Even if he really wants to leave, he is afraid it will be too late.
Besides, I really can't leave. If he just left like this, what should I do with this child in Huansha City?
"If you want to kill that white shadow... you have to see it first, right? Good guy, where can I find it..."
Everyone was talking behind him, putting pressure on him invisibly. It's not that Shan Hai didn't expect this dilemma, it's just that it happened out of nowhere, but he could only sigh secretly that his moral conduct was really not enough.
He sighed and took out the compass. When I first took it out, the compass happened to be facing the direction of Aluan on the roadside. So he stepped forward and patted Aluan on the shoulder.
"Get ready first, let's... Aluan? What are you doing?"
A Luan was as motionless as a stone, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in Shan Hai's heart. She stared blankly at the field, slowly raised her stiff hand, and said in a light voice:
"Look over there, what's that?"
Shanhai swallowed and suddenly pressed down her raised arm.
"Don't point!"
With that said, he covered her eyes with his other hand and lowered his head. Amid people's exclamations, he raised his head little by little.
A small, white human figure writhes in the field.
That action was very strange and scary, something ordinary people would never be able to do. It danced so strangely, as if the possessed child had been let go, twitching and twisting its limbs.
It looks like an uninserted scarecrow or a fish jumping on the chopping board.
More and more people are raising their hands and pointing there.
"... Put your hands down! Put them down quickly!"
He turned around and shouted at the crowd.
When you see something unclean, you should not point it directly with your hands. There is an old saying that the moon will have its ears cut off, but this is just a joke. According to the teachings Shanhai has received, pointing your finger at the sun, moon and stars is an act of great disrespect. However, for this kind of thing, such behavior is tantamount to a provocation. Just like you can't look into the eyes of a beast, it's a property. No matter where you see a ghost, even if it is the back, pointing at it will bring misfortune.
Suddenly, screams broke out one after another, and the crowd dispersed. Shan Hai turned around and found that the white figure had turned over, facing up to the sky, rushing towards here with a terrifying posture and a frightening speed.
It was obviously daytime, but he felt colder than at night.
Without enough time to react, he pulled out the peach wood sword from Aluan's waist. The moment he raised the sword's edge, the white shadow collided with it and disappeared with a strange ethereal cry. But Shanhai knew that it was just hiding temporarily and changed its location, but in fact there were still lurkers around it. Moreover, this karma ghost was several times larger than they imagined, but it was just too far away and seemed a bit small.
He dragged the dull Aluan and prepared to run indoors. He just made Taomu Sword touch it, and it shouldn't cause trouble to others anymore. With this thought in mind, he turned around and returned to Shuanzi's mother's house. Generally speaking, monsters cannot enter people's homes without their permission, unless they are extremely powerful monsters.
He closed the door and took out the charm to seal every gap in the door and window. Then, he shook Aluan's shoulders vigorously. She seemed to be more awake, and her expression was a little baffling. He pulled out the silver lock from Aluan's neck. It was very rusty. He didn't know when it started.
"What...what happened to Shanhai? Did I just..."
"As long as it's okay -" Shan Hai held her arms tightly, "Go find some beans quickly. I remember there are some bags stored in another empty house. Go find them! Hurry!"
Aluan nodded repeatedly in a daze and ran into the house stumblingly. Shanhai held his sword and cautiously stepped back toward the door, looking left and right. He felt a shadow passing over the house on the left, and turned his head suddenly, but the shadow was gone...or maybe it was the swaying leaves on the tree outside the window.
Grass and trees are all soldiers, probably nothing more than that.
Suddenly, the whole house began to shake, the dust on the beams continued to fall down, and the wall coverings slowly fell off. The gaps between doors and windows and between tables and chairs began to vibrate unconsciously, as if someone was deliberately shaking them.
The karma ghost really wants to come in.
He took a deep breath, still retreating, and slowly approached the room where Aluan went.
At this time, the shaking stopped and everything became quiet.
...It's too quiet.
"ah--!"
A girl screamed.
Damn it, that possessed child!
"Aluan!"
Shanhai rushed into the house and saw Aluan huddled in the corner, smashing beans at the door next door. Shuanzi's room was connected to the grain storage room. I don't know who opened the door and untied Shuanzi's rope. He ran over and stretched out his arms to protect her, like a white crane spreading its wings. Food was scarce here, and the few beans the widow had hoarded were quickly thrown away. The bolt could not pass, but they did not dare to pass.
Lin Shanhai carefully looked at the karma ghost in front of him. His fingers were joined together and twisted together like twists. His legs were somehow turned around his waist, his arms stretched out from the gap, and his elbows were on the ground. The knee of the other leg seemed to be weak, and the calf was concave in the opposite direction. Pass an arc. He rolled his bloodshot eyes and grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ears. It was unclear whether he was intimidating or smiling.
"Cluck...cluck..."
There was a strange sound coming from him. I don't know if it came from the mouth or if the bones all over my body were cracking.
"...ask for death...injustice, death...die, dark death..."
Weird bytes seemed to be emitting from Shuanzi's throat unconsciously.
The beans on the ground suddenly trembled, one after another, exploding to pieces.
Shuanzi... no, that karma-obstructed ghost is reciting the Rebirth Mantra.
A Luan suddenly had a headache. He covered his temples in pain, huddled up and nestled in the corner. It seems that she was really influenced by karma ghosts at first. The beans exploded one after another, and it moved its body bit by bit, twisting around, and slowly approached them.
Seeing Aluan's pain getting worse and worse, the karma ghost was getting closer and closer. Shan Hai's heart felt like a knife cutting through him, his eyes felt like burning, and the hand holding the sword was shaking unbelievably.
...Want to kill?
He meant the child.
