We have no choice but to keep digging. But even if you know what you will encounter, you still need to take precautions. So I laid out a rice array with rice as usual, surrounding Qin Bukong and me. Candles were also lit in five directions. The five candles represent east, west, south, north and center. The sewer is basically airtight and there is not much air flow. Once the candles in any direction are extinguished, we can take immediate precautions. At least we can know which direction it is coming from.
Since the hole was not big enough to accommodate only one person, Qin Bukong and I couldn't dig at the same time. This gave us the opportunity to stand guard alone. So Qin Bukong and I started digging holes in turns. The feeling of the shovel digging into the soil was like digging out a new layer of soil. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the soil here would be covered so tightly again. We didn't encounter anything strange during this period, until I dropped the shovel and hit a hard object.
At this time, the area I dug was already more than two meters away from the hole entrance, about a foot further than what I saw last time. And just when I dug the stone box with my shovel, Qin Bukong said to me outside the entrance of the cave, be careful, something seems to be coming. So I quickly stopped what I was doing and climbed out of the hole quickly. I saw the flames of the five candles in the array on the ground began to drift towards the hole and flickered, looking like they would be blown out soon, but The flame never went out, but after flickering a few times, it became brighter again.
Qin Bukong and I stood alertly at the entrance of the cave for a long time. The flames only flickered, but nothing came close. However, it was obvious that this was sending us a signal, asking us to stop here and not move forward. So I asked Qin Bukong what to do now. Qin Bukong said, continue digging and pull out the stone box. I said you are outside alone, aren't you afraid? What to do if something goes wrong? Qin Bukong snorted disdainfully, as if his stubborn temper was rising again. He said, aren't we here just to cause trouble?
What he said made sense, and I couldn't refute it, so I told him to be careful and dived into the hole again. But when I got in this time, I found a woman with disheveled hair, just like the one I saw in the cave for the first time. She shrunk her body and turned her head towards the entrance of the cave. She raised her head and her hair covered half of her face. , baring his teeth at me with a fierce look.
I expected to encounter it again, but I didn't expect to encounter it again in a place like this. But this time I saw its appearance clearly. Different from the beautiful nurse before, it looked even more terrifying. I could only tell from the facial features and shape that it was a woman. The twisted body was stuck in the hole, as if A hibernating snake spits out a long tongue. It is the part of the tongue that I cut off. Now that part of the tongue has grown back intact. This shows that the fight in the hospital last night was really like Qin's. As Fu Kong said, we just fought off a phantom or clone, but the real body is the one in front of us.
Maybe it was because Qin Bukong's words encouraged me. When I faced this female ghost again, I didn't flinch like last time, because I understood a truth. When a ghost comes into direct contact with a person, the power of the ghost actually changes. There is no particular difference between them. It's just that if you are weak, it will be strong, otherwise it will be weak, just like a seesaw. Only when you are stronger than others or the same as it, can you have a chance to resist and win.
So I picked up the shovel in my hand and poked the female ghost's head along the entrance of the hole. This is an extremely ordinary shovel. It is not a magic weapon and has not been treated in any way, so I know that we cannot cause any harm to it, but every time we stab it with a sonorous and powerful force, it makes the same sound as if it were stabbed on the stone. A hard voice. Qin Bukong also noticed something in the cave at this moment, so he also came to my side. We just didn't understand how this ghost got into our rice array without us noticing.
I poked it again and again, and the ghost began to get angry and roar. Although such a poke is useless to it, I just want to use this method to draw it out of the hole, otherwise it will be unable to move and we will have no possibility of subduing the opponent. After Qin Bukong arrived at my side, he began to summon his own Gu. As for what it was, I didn't know. In short, the way and rhythm of Qin Bukong's shaking of the Gu bell was a little different from what I had heard before. I only heard a rustling sound in my ears, like many tiny feet crawling quickly on the ground. At the same time, Qin Bukong was singing some dialect in a strange accent. Soon, a counter force came from the shovel I kept poking in. I was pushed back two steps by this force, and I kicked over the candles placed on the rice array.
This is not a good thing. When I was thinking about how to remedy it, suddenly a burst of hot air came out of the hole with the smell of rotten eggs. It felt like I had seen someone beating someone on the street. Like popcorn. I was a little blinded by the smell. In the hazy state, I seemed to see something coming out of the hole, like a huge spider. It was at the entrance of the hole, with its hands and feet on the edge, and then quickly crawled to the ground.
Qin Bukong shouted: "Hit!" There was nothing in my hand except an ordinary shovel. So I immediately picked up the shovel and hit the guy who was crawling towards me.
Dang Dang Dang! Every blow was like hitting a stone, extremely hard, and the shock made my hands and jaws ache. I heard Qin Bukong yelling: "Let's fight with something else!" So I jumped back a step. When I jumped back, I dropped the shovel in my hand, and reached out to touch the division order and six directions seal in my bag. , but when I was retreating, the ghost was also moving forward, and obviously my speed was not as fast as it. Before I could get the thing out, my hands seemed to be tightly locked by something. Same, being pinned to the ground and unable to move at all.
When my hands were spread apart and pressed to the ground, I could see the ghost clearly. Its posture was exactly the same as the one we saw in the hospital the first night, except that it was no longer wearing a nurse uniform and had no appearance. The nurse was so good-looking, even scarier than the grimace she saw the night before. Because although the previous ghost in a nurse costume had a weird posture, it was still humanoid, and the distribution of various body parts was the same as that of a human being. However, the neck in front of me seemed not to be on the shoulders, but on the back of the vest. So from my perspective, the lower half of its face was actually covered by its shoulders, and it was looking down at me in a weird posture. The long hair hung down and fluttered on my face, and I could see its facial features through the gaps in the hair. The left and right half of its face looked exactly the same, as if someone had put a big face in the middle of the nose. It was like a mirror, and as soon as it subdued me, it started to spit out its long tongue with a smile and dance in front of me.
If I could still move my hands, I would chop off its tongue without hesitation. However, his body was pressed tightly. It felt quite helpless to be unable to move in such a dangerous situation. At this moment, Qin Bukong was controlling his own Gu to attack the female ghost in front of me. Perhaps because the female ghost was the real person, Qin Bukong's poison had some harmful effects on her, but the feeling was not obvious enough and seemed not painful or itchy. But soon the female ghost became impatient. She still pressed her body against me, but turned her head and let out a loud roar towards Qin Bukong.
This is the most violent roar I have heard since I first saw this ghost. The previous ones were either a deep guttural sound, or an animal-like warning, but this time, it looked very much like When the fierce wind poured in from a small hole, it made a sharp and shrill sound, and this sound seemed to have a huge force, knocking Qin Bukong to the ground at once, Qin Bukong's hand The Gu bells that were originally attached fell to the ground, and one of them even broke into two pieces. Qin Bukong estimated that he had rarely encountered such a setback in his life. He covered his stomach with his hands, then supported his body on his hands and feet and took a few steps back. His whole face turned red, and he had a big beard. , looks similar to Guan Gong. The blood vessels on his forehead popped out, and his eyes were bulging, as if he couldn't take a breath and was still holding it in. Then he retched, but nothing came out. Then I saw two streams of nosebleeds starting to flow out of Qin Bukong's nostrils.
Compared to Qin Bukong, I am more worried about my own safety at the moment. Qin Bukong is good with his hands and feet, and his craftsmanship is much better than mine, but he was tortured to this point by the roar of this ghost. If my hands and feet are restrained, I don't know how miserable my death will be. After the ghost finished dealing with Qin Bukong, he slowly turned to face me again. When I turned my head, I clearly heard a clicking sound on its neck, as if its neck had been stiff for a long time and a piece of bone would fall off every time it twisted. It turned its head and stared at me. I was obviously scared. I didn't want to look at it, but I still couldn't help but stare at the ghost's two dark eye sockets.
I just remember a "pop" in my head, like a paper bag filled with air finally bursting. When this sound sounded, the dark sewer in front of me was no longer bright, but became brighter. There were birds singing, the fragrance of earth, blue sky and white clouds around me. I was lying in a cornfield, and through the ears of corn I could still see butterflies and birds flying in the sky. The female ghost lying on her body now looked like the beautiful female nurse again, but she was wearing the same clothes that Meng Dongxue wore in the cornfield that night a few years ago.
Everything became very dreamy. The female nurse smiled coquettishly at me, and her eyes almost took away my soul. She slowly came towards me, half-closed her eyes, and pouted slightly, as if she wanted to kiss me.
