Lao Hu said: "The woman in this photo is not a human being."
The mistress and I were both stunned.
"Grandpa Hu, this is not a human being, what is it? She is obviously a beauty!" the mistress asked suspiciously.
Lao Hu glared at him and said, "Don't call me grandpa. Am I that old? Call me Master Hu."
The mistress curled her lips.
"When it comes to being a master, I only think Brother Xiaoyang is a master. As for you? Apart from fortune telling, I haven't seen you know anything else?"
"Hey, you kid..."
I quickly interrupted their chat.
"Lao Hu, don't be so pretentious, why is the woman in this photo not a human being?"
"She is a ghost." Lao Hu said three words simply.
The mistress and I were stunned again.
ghost?
The thing in the photo is just an image, how could it be a ghost?
Lao Hu took out a cigarette, then waved his hand to the mistress, who quickly took out a lighter and lit it for him.
Lao Hu took a big sip and blew out a smoke ring coolly.
I used to think this move of his was very cool, but now, it looks a bit disgusting.
"If I guess correctly, the mistress has been unlucky for eight lifetimes and met the legendary photo ghost."
Photo ghost? I have heard of evil ghosts and wrongful ghosts, but I have never heard of photo ghosts.
Although I already hate Lao Hu in my heart, I have to admit that he is indeed very experienced in all aspects of experience.
"The ghost who stores his soul in the photo is called a photo ghost."
"Mistress, you didn't tell the truth. When your parents asked you to go on a blind date, you flatly refused and didn't even think about it. Your parents didn't give up and asked a matchmaker to bring a girl's photo. You just glanced at it accidentally and were immediately attracted by the person in the photo. Then you had a dream at night about this girl. You were completely fascinated, so you took the initiative to meet this girl. Right?"
The mistress was completely dumbfounded.
"Lao Hu, you are really a master."
Lao Hu smiled and said: "Fortunately, you have a strong yang energy. Fortunately, the time is short. Fortunately, you met us today. Otherwise, if you really met the ghost in this photo tonight, we would have to deal with it the next day." You collect the body."
"Ah?" The mistress almost jumped up and said with a sad face: "What, what is going on? Don't scare me."
Lao Hu looked at me.
"Baby, with your current strength, you should have been able to tell at a glance that something was wrong with the person in this photo, right?"
I nodded: "I saw something was wrong, but I didn't realize she was a ghost. Lao Hu, what's going on?"
"What the hell, this photo has appeared several times a few years ago, always in the form of a photo. Some people walking on the road picked up this photo inexplicably, took it home, and were attracted by the beautiful woman in the photo. Attracted, he dreams about the beautiful woman in the photo at night, and then the beautiful woman will tell him in his dream how to meet her? So the man will follow the address the beautiful woman told him and come to a lake the next night. side."
"The final result was, of course, that the beautiful woman died inexplicably in the lake without seeing her, and after her death, the body was not found at the time. It was not until a week later that the unrecognizable body that was soaked in the lake surfaced on its own. "
"Others get this photo from a matchmaker in the form of a blind date, such as the mistress. Others accidentally see this photo from the Internet when browsing their mobile phones, download and print it. In short, there are many ways for this photo to appear."
"But no matter which way it is, anyone who sees this photo will be unlucky. Not just men, but women and even the elderly will be unlucky if they see this photo."
The mistress gasped.
"So my parents, the matchmaker, and several of my friends have all seen this photo, are they going to be in trouble too?"
Lao Hu said: "Fortunately, the time is still short, and now the photo ghost regards you as her target and has not yet attacked anyone else. There is still hope."
The mistress breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lao Hu, what do you think we should do now? I was really fascinated by this photo. For two or three nights in a row, I dreamed about the person in the photo and talked to her. She even asked me to come tonight. I’m going to meet her by the lake. I’ve even prepared a suit, and I’m ready to go on a date with her at night.”
"Which lake did she invite you to?"
"Longhu is the former Longhu Park, but it has been abandoned in recent years. At that time, I was still wondering where to meet. I had to meet at a lake in the abandoned park, because that place was quite far away from the city. It’s quite remote.”
Lao Hu said: "Do you know why Longhu Park was abandoned? It was because of this photo. Think about it, everyone who was targeted ended up dead in Longhu. After a long time, who would dare to go there? Is it for fun? In addition, the death of people also broke the feng shui of the park, so it was naturally abandoned."
I asked: "Why does she want to invite people to Longhu Park?"
Lao Hu said: "Now we have to find out the origin and cause of death of this photo ghost. I suspect that this female ghost had something to do with Longhu Park during her lifetime. It is possible that she died in Longhu Park, which was her lair."
"Of course, it's also possible that the location of Long Lake, coupled with other reasons, caused the heavy yin energy there, making it a natural yin pool ghost cave, so the female ghost chose it there."
"You said this photo ghost appeared a few years ago?"
"Yes, more than ten people died in a row at that time, causing the entire park to be abandoned. This is not a small matter. The patrol team also set up a special task force. They thought that someone had killed someone in the lake. How is that possible?"
"So in the end, naturally nothing was found, and it was settled."
"This is obviously caused by evil things. It should be solved by people in the underworld. How can we rely on patrols?" I said.
"Is there no Yin person who can help solve this problem?"
"Yes, there is, and there are more than one. The final result... Haha, I don't need to say it. Of course you have thought of it. Those sinister people, either because of their lack of moral integrity, fell into the hands of the female ghost, or they just looked at the female ghost. The ghost is so powerful that if I can’t deal with it, I turn around and run away.”
"In the end, it was a female Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain who took action. At that time, a large altar was arranged in the entire Longhu Park. There were patrols cooperating with the perimeter to maintain security. The rituals were performed for three days and three nights. At dawn, At that time, bursts of shrill female screams came from the lake, it should be the female ghost."
"The scream lasted for more than two hours and then disappeared. The female Taoist priest also fainted. Since then, the photo ghost has not appeared again."
"So the female Taoist priest has dealt with the photo ghost, but why does it appear again now?"
Lao Hu spread his hands helplessly.
"Yes, everyone thought that the female Taoist priest had solved the photo ghost, but why did it appear again?"
"Could it be that the female Taoist priest just cast a spell to temporarily suppress the photo ghost in the lake, and a few years later, the photo ghost reappeared?"
"Or maybe this photo ghost is not the same photo ghost as before, but there is a new one."
Lao Hu stared at the photo and said seriously: "No, I saw the photo ghost a few years ago, and it was her."
This is a bit difficult to handle.
"Okay, this photo ghost thing is too complicated, let's not worry about it. As for the mistress, it's not a big deal, just get rid of this photo."
The mistress quickly asked: "How to deal with it? Can she let me go?"
"As for how to deal with it? Of course you can't burn her, because you can't burn her to death at all. Instead, you will anger her and you will die faster. You listen to me and prepare a bucket of black dog blood, a bucket of rooster blood, and ten pieces of sulfur powder. Jin, ten bottles of realgar wine, mix them together and put them in the sun for three hours. Then go to the butcher to borrow a butcher's knife that is often used to kill pigs, soak it in it for three hours, then take out the knife and cut it. The photo was taped to the blade, wrapped in red cloth, and put back into the bucket.”
"After three days, the photo ghost will leave on its own and will not haunt you again."
"Really? Great, I'll do it right away."
The mistress couldn't help but snatch the photo and run away.
Because the ghost who took the photo was going to see him tonight, he had to finish the matter today. He didn't have much time.
But I frowned and said nothing. Lao Hu glanced at me: "What? You don't want to get involved in this matter again, do you?"
"Although the photo ghost is not particularly powerful, she is very difficult to deal with. She hides in water, which is yin. Besides, after so many years, she should be stronger than before. It's better for us not to cause more trouble."
If Lao Hu persuaded me like this before, I would have listened. After all, I regarded him as a friend at that time, but now, I sneered, why should I listen to you? I won’t care if you don’t let me care?
Huh, if you don't let me take care of you and you insist on taking care of me, I won't let you get what you want.
I said: "I haven't used my soul-piercing skills for a long time, and I'm almost rusty. I happened to meet a photo ghost. This is an opportunity given to me by God. How could I miss it?"
Lao Hu looked at me in surprise.
"Do you really want to take care of it?"
"Of course, since I am a soul assassin, I have the responsibility to drive away all demons and evil spirits. Although you saved Xiao Sanzi with that method, the photo ghost was not driven away and would harm other people. Xiao Sanzi's Life is life, and other people’s lives are also life, how can I stand by and watch?”
"My dear, you have a lot of things to do, how can you have time to take care of this?"
I smiled.
"It doesn't matter. I have more time to do things one by one and don't be in a hurry."
Lao Hu squinted at me and seemed to smell something, but in the end he denied it in his heart.
"My child, you have such a temper. Alas, even nine cows can't bring you back what you have decided. Okay, you can take care of it if you want. But don't blame me for not reminding you. This photo ghost is really not that simple. .”
"Don't worry, I have the skill of soul stabbing. What should I be afraid of? Lao Hu, I have been a soul stabbing master for so long, but I have never tattooed a few people or taken on any big jobs. Isn't it a waste? ?”
I paid attention to Lao Hu's expression.
"If I continue like this, my skills will deteriorate. Who am I to be a soul-piercing master? So from today on, I have to devote a large part of my time to tattooing people's souls and helping them drive away evil spirits. At the same time, it also allowed me to quickly improve my own skills.”
"I think back then, the two major yin arts, soul stabbing and yin opera, were world-famous, especially the soul piercing master, who was very awesome. And since I have become his successor, naturally I can't disgrace this craft, let alone catch up. Beyond him, at least on par with him, right?"
Lao Hu's smile was obviously a little forced, but he still smiled.
"Yes, yes, you should really take the time to tattoo people properly. It will drive away evil spirits and it will be good for yourself."
I sneered in my heart again, Damn it, Zhang Sangui did something to me back then, which caused me to be unable to improve my soul-piercing skills. And last night, Lao Hu said to Zhang Sangui, I am weak at soul-piercing. Chicken, he will also try his best to prevent me from improving this skill, because once this Yin skill improves, just like the Yin God back then, then their plan will not be able to proceed.
In this case, I want to improve my soul-piercing skills to make your plan impossible.
