When I returned to Shangshikeng Village, it was obvious that Master had heard the terrible ghost howl and walked quickly in the courtyard, so I hurriedly asked Master, "Master, what the hell is this?!" "As soon as my words came out, the master barely replied, took the demon sword from me, and rushed towards the depths of the village. I just wanted to catch up with Master, but when I looked back, I saw that there was still a large family on Grandpa Lin's side, no, I had to stay and take care of it.

Lin Aiwen didn't seem to care about anything else, first ran back to the yard with water, and then scooped a bowl of water out of the house with a large porcelain bowl. I opened my mouth and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Lin, what are you doing here?" ”

Huzi whispered to me: "Brother Ergou, this is the sacrifice...... After speaking, Huzi hurriedly followed Lin Aiwen over, and in a blink of an eye, Grandpa Lin also staggered out, wearing a coat, looking at the direction where Lin Aiwen and Huzi were going. I didn't have time to say hello to Grandpa Lin, so I hurriedly followed, I really haven't seen what Huzi and Lin Aiwen did.

What's the matter with giving a sacrifice to a ghost, and it's still a bowl of water? Do you give the howling ghost a bowl of water, and it won't howl? This is so strange, plus the master also chased after the source of the sound, it seems that the situation in Shangshikeng Village is also extremely complicated!

But seeing Lin Aiwen and Huzi turn left and right, they came to a small dilapidated courtyard, and they went all the way to an ancient well on the west side of the courtyard. I was stunned, and hurriedly ran to Lin Aiwen's side, looking at Lin Aiwen's pious and respectful appearance all the way, I had to retreat and ask Huzi: "Huzi, what is your third uncle doing?" How do you worship that ghost? Could it be that the ghost lives in the well?! ”

Huzi nodded hurriedly, and whispered to me: "Brother Ergou, you can't say it too loudly, otherwise it will be terrible for the female ghost to hear it." You look at it first, as long as you send sacrifices, the female ghost will not make a fuss for a while! Hearing Huzi's words, I didn't seem to understand, and then saw Lin Aiwen first put the bowl of water on the edge of the ancient well, and then I was stunned, and took out a dagger from my arms.

Lin Aiwen was stunned and asked, "Brother Ergou, you, what are you doing?" ”

"Uncle Lin, I still want to ask what you are doing? What do you compare with a dagger in your hand? Do you know how sharp this dagger is, it can kill people! I shouted angrily, then looked down at the bowl of water on the edge of the ancient well, and then raised my head to look at Lin Aiwen's actions, my brain was hot, I slapped the back of the head sharply, and asked in horror: "Uncle Lin, do you want to melt water with blood as a sacrifice to that female ghost?!" ”

Lin Aiwen turned his head to look at me and asked in a cold voice, "How do you know?" ”

I was inexplicably taken aback by Lin Aiwen, looking at his extremely solemn expression, I thought about it, and I couldn't help but say: "Don't forget that I am a Taoist priest, my master said that it is recorded in the book that the essence and blood of people can raise ghosts, but ghosts are bloodthirsty, and they can enter demons." Therefore, even if you worship ghosts, you must not feed them with your own essence and blood, which can only backfire and even cause a catastrophe! ”

"But...... Alas, I won't tell you now, it's been like this before, and it's not bad this time. Lin Aiwen sighed lightly, picked up the dagger and gently cut his fingers despite my objections, then frowned, squeezed out three drops of blood into the bowl, but seeing that the water in the bowl was dyed with blood a little bit, Lin Aiwen hurriedly lowered his head and said something silently, before picking up the bowl and throwing it into the ancient well.

At this moment, Huzi and Lin Aiwen were both looking at Gujing in a daze, not knowing what they were looking at. After a while, it seemed that there was no movement, Lin Aiwen turned around and breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It must be okay tonight, let's go home." ”

However, I stared at Lin Aiwen in confusion, staring at Lin Aiwen uncomfortably, and hurriedly asked me, "Brother Ergou, what do you want to say?" Do you think we're doing something wrong? But we are ordinary mountain people, and we don't know the Tao, so we can't be like your masters and apprentices who are not afraid of the entanglement of ghosts and evils, we are just ordinary people, so we can only use ordinary people's methods to keep a distance from ghosts. We don't want to worship the ghosts here, but we can't help it, once there are no sacrifices, it will haunt our family and keep us awake at night, alas! ”

Hearing Lin Aiwen's emotion and complaints, I didn't know what to say for a while. Yes, they're just ordinary people, what can Master and I do if we don't happen to be passing by here? can only keep a distance from ghosts, just like those ghosts in Xiashikeng Village, but there is no way to avoid it, just like the ghosts in this ancient well, they can only think of worship, so that the ghosts in the ancient well will not run out and entangle their lives.

In the end, it seems that they have not done anything wrong, but what is wrong is that humans and ghosts cannot live together, after all, this is not a long-term solution. But now that Master and I have come here, with Master's way of doing things, ghosts should stay in the underworld and keep to themselves, and once the order of the yang world is destroyed, they will inevitably be killed!

At this moment, a terrible and sharp scream suddenly came from the ancient well, hearing this sound, the three of us were all trembling with fright, Lin Aiwen staggered to the edge of the ancient well, but I dragged it back, I scolded loudly: "You don't want to live? That ghost has been fed with your essence blood for an unknown amount of time, and now there must be some Taoism, if it drags you in, you will never be able to come up again! ”

When Lin Aiwen heard this, he hurriedly retreated behind me, and said hurriedly: "How can this be? Isn't it already a sacrifice that has already been delivered? ”

"Ahh Third uncle, I forgot, Grandpa and I haven't sent sacrifices today! Huzi slapped his head, and then said in horror: "Usually there are three parts in the morning, noon and evening, the second uncle is responsible for the sacrifice in the morning, my grandfather and I are responsible for the noon share, and the third uncle you are the one at night, but today it seems that the second uncle and you sent the sacrifice, and my grandfather and I actually forgot, what can I do?!" ”

Lin Aiwen exclaimed angrily: "How could you forget? The old man is also old and confused, there is no water at home and I didn't find it in the morning, if I hadn't asked you at night, you wouldn't know that there was no water in the tank! Huzi, you too, why don't you have eyes for such a big person? Go back and fetch water! Hearing Lin Aiwen's angry reprimand, Huzi hurriedly turned his head and ran back, but as soon as he arrived outside the yard, Huzi stopped abruptly.

Lin Aiwen and I both turned our heads to look, but when we saw Huzi, there was the master standing in front of him, and the master was standing not far away with a serious face, blocking Huzi's road. Without waiting for Huzi to speak, the master said coldly: "Don't go, there will be two sacrifices today, and there will be no more!" After speaking, Master came to me and Lin Aiwen in an arrow step, but just as Master approached the edge of the ancient well, the ghost howl in the ancient well stopped screaming in an instant.

I hurriedly came to Master's side, looked inside, and in a trance, I saw a flash of fire disappear at the bottom of the well, although for a moment, I still saw a figure in the firelight, and hurriedly turned my head to Master and asked, "Master, this, what the hell is this?" How can it be full of fire? ”

The master frowned and stared at the ancient well for a long time before turning his head and saying in a cold and angry voice: "Count it fast, otherwise I will let it scatter!" The ghosts in this ancient well are fire ghosts, and they must have been burned to death by fire before their deaths, but it stands to reason that ordinary fire ghosts do not have such a fierce aura...... Is it because you feed your sperm and blood every day? ”

Finding that the master was looking at them, Lin Aiwen immediately shook his head and explained: "Mr. Yang, we, when we first discovered the fire ghost in this, it, it was so fierce!" As he spoke, Lin Aiwen hurriedly smashed the tiger with his elbow, and the tiger nodded again and again, indicating that what Lin Aiwen said was true.

The master sighed in surprise, "If it was so fierce from the beginning, then there would be something strange...... It's a pity that the fire ghost in this goes along the leyline, I have been looking for you in Shikeng Village for a long time, and almost everywhere I passed, the fire ghost deliberately avoided me, and I must have some wisdom. But the more this happens, the more difficult it is to catch it, there are too many ancient wells in Shikeng Village, it can appear in any ancient well at will, and it can only be attracted when you sacrifice. But this is still not conducive to my action against it, alas! ”

Seeing that after the master finished speaking, he turned around and left with the demon sword, I looked at Lin Aiwen and Huzi, and hurriedly followed the master.

Back at Grandpa Lin's house, the master sat on a chair and solemnly asked the Lin family father and son, "Don't talk about the matter of Shikeng Village, now you tell me, what is going on with the fire ghost in Shikeng Village?" When did you come to your Shangshikeng Village? Or maybe you know who the fire demon was! ”

When Grandpa Lin heard this, he panicked all of a sudden, and turned to look at Lin Aiwen, Lin Aiwen also rubbed his hands, and looked at Huzi with an embarrassed face, but after hesitating for a while, he still said helplessly: "If someone else asks, we will inevitably anger the fire ghost, and we can't tell the reason, but just now I saw that the fire ghost was afraid of Mr. Yang, which means that Mr. Yang can help us get rid of the fire ghost, Dad, let me tell Mr. Yang everything about us here, right?" ”

Lin Aiwen's words made Grandpa Lin silent for a long time, and finally had to nod and signal Lin Aiwen to speak. In this way, Lin Aiwen told our master and apprentice about the fire ghost in the ancient well.
