Chapter 4946: Ghosts Fighting Lanterns
It was getting late. Yu'er and Xingyun led three secret guards. There were five people in total. They prepared a lot of tools and prepared to enter the mountain.
The mountains outside the north of the city stretch endlessly. At night, they look dark like a huge lying Buddha statue.
So the locals call this mountain Wofo Mountain.
But in fact, this mountain is not as Buddha-like as the name describes it. Instead, it is a bit scary, because there are tombs buried in many places on the mountain.
There are dignitaries and ordinary people. Of course, the ordinary people are only buried lightly. At any time, the wind and sun will blow, and the descendants will wither and migrate. Gradually, the graves where they were buried will gradually disappear.
What is left behind are either ancient ancestral tombs with long descendants, or large tombs carefully built by dignitaries, as well as mass graves of the newly deceased.
Precisely because this is a cemetery well-known to everyone, most people will never come here if nothing happens.
"In the past two days, I have been asking about Wo Foshan here. Many locals told a lot of strange stories, stories about ghosts and gods. This place may be very evil." Yu'er said.
"That's a lot. I heard something from an Orion about a headless female ghost in red." Xingyun smiled.
"Headless female ghost in red? I've heard about this too. It's said that there used to be a rich man who gave his stupid son a wife. After the woman came in, she got pregnant on her eighth month. , she had fetal motility and died in childbirth. Later, she mortued her body and prepared to bury it on the mountain..."
Yu'er said: " Three days after the woman's body was laid to rest, there was movement inside. Several people opened the coffin and found that the woman's head was missing. The frightened family quickly carried it up the mountain and buried the woman. After that, rumors began to spread nearby. The legend of the headless female ghost in red.”
Xingyun said: “The story I got is a bit like yours. It was different. It was about the woman who had a difficult childbirth and would not have died in the first place. It was her powerful mother-in-law who was very superstitious. She thought that the woman had violated the man and was unwilling to seek medical treatment in time. Instead, she called a monk to chant sutras, which resulted in delays. After a while, the woman died..."
"Then, the woman transformed into He killed the headless female ghost in red and took the lives of the rich man's family, but his resentment was still lingering. He wandered around the Wofo Mountain with a ghost baby in his belly, taking people's lives and souls. "
The sound of Xingyun became a little eerie, creating a somewhat terrifying atmosphere in the dark environment.
The secret guard next to him, Wang Sa, looked around with vigilance and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Xing, is there really a headless female ghost in red?"
"You have no future, you kid. Do you take the story seriously? How do you usually train?" Xing Yue slapped Wang Sa on the back of the head.
"We are not afraid of this person, but this ghost... we have nothing to do. If we are caught, it will be miserable." After saying that, Wang Sa still looked around nervously .
Their location is on the dividing line of the road into the mountain, with a large mass grave on the side.
The faint moonlight shines through the thick clouds on Luanzan Hill, and several wild dogs bark, which sounds a bit tragic.
"Wang Sa, your skin is itching now. You are not afraid of people, but you are afraid of ghosts? What is more terrifying than people in this world? What is there to be afraid of ghosts? If you can't beat them, you will die. Humans will make your life worse than death. ." Xingyun said angrily.
The other two secret guards hurriedly advised: "Brother Xing, don't be like that kid Wang Sa. This kid has been afraid of ghosts since he was a child, and he always carries an amulet with him. That's what he is like."
“Brother Xing, don’t blame him, this place Fang is a bit evil and is very cold.”
“I don’t want to blame this guy, but we know what we are going to do today, so I deliberately told a story to see how this guy is doing recently. It's not better, the result is still the same." Xingyun couldn't help but sigh.
Wang Sa is one of his men with great potential, but he has a fear of gods and ghosts. If he cannot overcome this psychological problem, he will suffer big losses in the future.
"Let's go, let's forget this matter. Let's go over and deal with it." Yu'er said. "What is that?" Wang Sa suddenly pointed in the direction of the mass grave and shouted.
Everyone followed the direction pointed by Wang Sa and saw many green flames suddenly floating in the mass grave.
Wang Shuo's lips trembled, and his teeth chattered up and down. He put his palm into his pocket, took out a small Buddha statue, held it in front of his body, and began to mutter something in his mouth.
"Will-o'-the-wisp! This mass grave is a bit interesting." A smile appeared on Yu'er's lips.
"Will-o'-the-wisp, I've heard of it, but I've never seen it with my own eyes." Xingyun's expression became serious.
“Don’t be afraid. I have seen this kind of will-o’-the-wisp on mass graves since I was a child... Later, during a chat with Sister Qing, she mentioned this kind of will-o’-the-wisp. There are blue will-o'-the-wisps on the side."
Yu'er pointed in another direction.
After Wang Sa saw it, the fear in his heart became even greater.
"Will-o'-the-wisps are ghosts lighting lanterns at night. It's haunted over there. Let's leave quickly." Wang Sa stamped his feet on the ground, trembling. He didn't want to stay here for a moment.
"Why are you walking? It's not easy to see a living will-o'-the-wisp once. Why don't you take a closer look and practice your courage." Yu'er curled her lips.
Xingyun, who originally had the intention of leaving, thought about it and felt that this was also a good idea. A strong dose of medicine might cure Wang Sa's problem.
"Let's go, you two, even if you have to carry him, you have to carry this kid to the mass grave." Xingyun waved his hand.
Next, for Wang Sa, life was particularly unhappy. He was dragged by two friends towards the mass grave. The panic from deep inside made him almost faint. .
But when I think about it, if I really faint, I might be thrown into a mass grave by them, and my acupuncture points will be tapped, making me unable to move. What kind of treatment will I receive by then?
Just thinking about it makes life boring.
With screams and pleas all the way, Xingyun and his group dragged Wang Sa to the vicinity of the mass grave.
At this time, Wang Sa had stopped screaming and held his breath.
"Look, you can see clearly at a close distance. Will-o'-the-wisps are just a kind of fire. Sister Qing told me that will-o'-the-wisps are caused by the spontaneous combustion of a substance called phosphorus." Yu'er smiled.
"I know about phosphorus. The top of the matches we use is coated with phosphorus. It's really easy to burn," Xing Yue said.
"It should be almost the same, but I don't know much about it. If you want to know more, go to the Science and Technology Garden and ask people like Shen Yicong. Maybe you will get a more accurate answer." Yu'er said.
“Did you hear that, Wang Sa, this is all inherent, it’s not a ghost playing a lantern.” Xing Yue patted Wang Sa’s face.
"Then, there..." Wang Sa did not answer, but stared and pointed to the side with his cheeks puffed out.
