After a late night snack.
Hu Xiaoyue dragged me and set off.
Niu Bi, Niu Deheng, and Xiao Yuan also clamored to go with them, but it was okay anyway...
Just think of it as going to watch the fun.
So in the end Niu Bi drove, and everyone went from Ciqikou to the western suburbs of Jiulongpo.
The western suburbs, as the name suggests, used to be the suburban dividing line to the west of the city during the Republic of China...
Of course, these days, the so-called "western suburbs" are actually a proper inner-ring urban area.
It's just a customary name.
Following Hu Xiaoyue's directions, Niu Bi drove the car to the place where two frozen corpses were found.
We get off.
Niu Deheng sniffed.
"Well, it does smell like a ghost..."
Madoka tapped his shoulder with her wings.
"Er Niuzi is very sensitive to the same kind of things!"
I glared at the fat bird.
"There are girls here! Be careful what you say."
Hu Xiaoyue said doubtfully.
"What does Niuzi mean?"
"Oh, don't ask. Just try to control your aura and go over to see where the corpse is."
I quickly interrupted Hu Xiaoyue's curiosity and asked Niu Bi and the others to stay far away.
She and I walked towards the greenery over there...
Because we had drank while having late-night snacks, our faces were indeed red and we smelled of alcohol. Pretending to be a "drunk" is not difficult.
So Hu Xiaoyue and I started "acting".
He stumbled, his steps were shaky, and then he collapsed in the grass and sat down with his back against a green tree. He was still breathing heavily...
"Drink! I still want to drink."
Hu Xiaoyue's face was red and she deliberately talked drunkenly.
I tightened my clothes.
"It seems a bit cold, it would be nice if it was warmer..."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard an eerie voice coming from next to me.
"I have two pieces of clothing here. The two friends can put them on first. They will be much warmer this way."
I turned around and saw a man wearing short sleeves holding two thick coats and passing them to me and Hu Xiaoyue.
Obviously, this is a sneaky trick!
Seeing that his complexion was gray and his skin had an abnormal paleness, I knew - this guy was a [Frozen Ghost]!
As the name suggests, a frozen ghost is a person who has been frozen to death and turned into a ghost.
Because it was frozen to death, it went around harming people and made itself feel comfortable by absorbing the heat of yang energy from living people! At the same time, you can also practice and enhance your strength...
After seeing this frozen ghost, it was clear how those two poor people died.
"Those two people are quite unlucky. In a southern city like Chongqing, the probability of [frozen ghosts] appearing is extremely low! Only during times of social and economic difficulties in the past and the severe cold in winter would there be people Freeze to death and turn into this damn thing.”
I thought to myself, looking at this [frozen ghost] with great interest - to be honest, this was the first time I saw it myself, and I had only heard about it from others before.
It looks like it should have been cultivated for about thirty years, and it can be considered a minor success.
He used a blinding magic to change his appearance. If an ordinary person looked like him, he would be a simple and honest middle-aged man with a rosy complexion. He never expected that he was a blue-grey-skinned ghost who had died from the cold!
Seeing that Hu Xiaoyue and I didn't take the thick clothes in our hands right away, it tried its best to show a gentle smile.
"Don't be afraid, you two. I'm the owner of a nearby food stall. I just saw off the last batch of customers and closed down the stall, and I happened to see you two passing by. You'll be much warmer if you put these clothes on."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and handed it to the front.
I took a closer look.
These are clearly two black shrouds! ! !
I guess he was buried in the coffin with him when he was buried, right?
Now it has become a frozen ghost - and it is also the kind of evil ghost that harms people. The two shrouds are also contaminated with evil spirits, and they have become evil things that can harm people's lives.
I can vaguely feel that once ordinary people put on this shroud, big problems may occur!
Hu Xiaoyue had a grateful smile on her face.
"Then we can thank you big brother."
As he said that, he took the two shrouds handed over by the frozen ghost... and gave one to me.
This kind of ghost thing must be very unlucky for ordinary people to wear!
It's not just psychological discomfort, it's real bad luck.
If a living person wears the shroud buried with the dead in the coffin, he will be contaminated with Yin Qi and death Qi. In the future, both luck and health will be affected...
Maybe good luck will turn into bad luck, and the body will become weak and sick!
But as practitioners like us, we don’t have this scruple.
Especially Hu Xiaoyue and I - I am not afraid of such a weak evil thing at all. Hu Xiaoyue herself is considered to be half an "evil cultivator" - this thing is probably not as evil as her own cultivation method, right?
Afraid of a ball!
The frozen ghost watched Hu Xiaoyue and I take the shroud it handed over, and a happy smile immediately appeared on its face.
You must be thinking that you are lucky tonight and can get the vitality and yang heat of two living people at once, right?
Hu Xiaoyue and I pretended to put on the shrouds.
Suddenly, a false "warmth" flowed on the surface of the body, but in fact, one could feel that the shroud was absorbing people's heat crazily!
I understand even more in my heart.
"It seems that after a living person is tricked into wearing this frozen ghost's shroud, he will have the illusion that his body has become very warm! The person will feel very comfortable, as if he were soaking in a hot spring. But in fact, this shroud is They are frantically absorbing the heat from their bodies, and may even freeze on the surface of their skin! When the temperature reaches below zero, people will naturally freeze to death..."
I thought to myself.
Hu Xiaoyue winked at me, and we pretended to turn around and walk forward.
This frozen ghost was stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed us.
I asked, pretending to be drunkenly curious.
"Brother, why are you following us?"
The frozen ghost rubbed his hands and pretended to be honest.
"These two thick clothes also cost money... Although I have good intentions, I can't give them away for free. I am not rich. But I can't bear the cold. So I will follow you. Let's go for a walk together. When you get home, give me your clothes."
Good guy!
I thought to myself, this [frozen ghost] is quite good at deceiving, right?
It probably followed us, wanting to see us getting colder and colder along the way, and finally froze to death on the ground. It took away the shroud.
As for the two people who were killed by it before?
He must have been really drunk... He was fooled into wearing evil shrouds by this freezing ghost, and the illusion of warmth didn't go away. Instead, continue to sit in the green belt and rest...
After all, when people are drunk, they are confused.
As a result, he continued to lose temperature and froze to death on the spot!
Let this sneaky thing succeed.
