I am a fairy

Chapter 71 Five Ghosts

There is an exquisite bamboo house in the forest connected to a long corridor and a trestle bridge.

The witch held the basin and put it aside, and someone else stood beside it holding clothes.

"Wash your face!"

The shaman lifted the gauze curtain and walked to the basin wearing a thin white middle garment.

After splashing water on the face, he smeared something else on it.

At that time, officials and men and women from wealthy families would also apply ointment on their faces when washing. The ointment used by shamans was made from medicinal herbs such as soap beans, white silkworm, white aconite, patchouli, and realgar, and had a medicinal aroma.

After washing her face, she trimmed her hair in front of the bronze mirror. Her hair was cut neatly, making her look more like Yun Zhongjun.

Then she drew her eyebrows in front of the mirror, modifying her eyebrows and eyes. She made her slightly curved eyebrows sharper and the soft corners of her eyes more masculine.

Finally, he turned around and the witch behind him spread out the clothes he was holding, and only then did he realize that it was a round-necked military uniform.

After seeing Yun Zhongjun in military uniform, the wizard imitated him the next day.

But today the wizard only wore military uniform but no mask.

The witch is only a god when she wears the robe and mask, and she is just a witch when she takes off the mask. Because there is no sacrificial ceremony today, she went out as a witch.

Just look at yourself in the mirror when you set out.

The witch suddenly asked, "Does it look like it?"

The old witch: "Like what?"

The shaman said, "Does it look like a god?"

The witches, old and young, did not dare to answer, as they had never seen what Yun Zhongjun looked like.

Finally, it was the old witch who said, "Lingzi is the incarnation of Yunzhongjun in the human world. He must look like him."

The wizard smiled, but the figure in the mirror was much more heroic than Yun Zhongjun.

Because the posture of the divine shaman is more upright and neat after training, while the real "Lord of the Clouds" cannot get rid of his lazy appearance even in military uniform.

However, the witch thought it was very similar, and she even imitated Yun Zhongjun's tone.

"Get off the mountain!"

While walking through the long corridor, the wizard touched the jade beads hanging around his neck and held the so-called "talisman" in his hand. Only then did he feel at ease.

It was like there really was a figure standing behind her.

Outside in the Cloud Temple there was a young priestess and two wizards who looked a little clumsy but strong and mighty.

The sacrificial shaman led the group of shamans to perform the ceremony in the temple and then sent the divine shaman out. The divine shaman then took the three of them down the mountain.

Walk to the bottom of the mountain.

I saw a group of people gathered below, preparing to go up the mountain in a hurry.

But after taking two steps, they saw a wizard in a round-necked military uniform walking down with his attendants, and everyone immediately gathered around him.

Before anyone could say anything, the wizard spoke to them.

"I already know."

Everyone looked at each other, with thousands of words stuck in their throats, but they didn't know whether they should say anything.

They looked at each other in bewilderment. How did they know this before they even said anything? And what did they know?

But the wizard did not explain, but continued speaking.

"Let's go!"

Without the mask, the wizard looked a little strange to everyone. He walked down the stairs from the sacred peak, looking graceful and majestic in his military uniform.

Everyone hurriedly chased after him and then asked.

"Where to go?"

The witch said.

"Go to the city and find out who released this plague ghost."

"Then, take down the evil spirits and demons that are causing trouble."

He said this with great certainty, as if he already knew everything and had a handle on what was to come.

Everyone was greatly encouraged to hear these words, and their original panic and helplessness, as well as all the speculations in their hearts, all calmed down.

And looking at the military uniform worn by the wizard, I finally understood.

"So the witch is going to capture the evil ghosts and the chaotic gods. No wonder he is dressed like this."

Military uniforms are usually hunting attire.

The shaman dressed like this, of course, not to shoot hunters or beasts.

In their view, the shamans were going to hunt down the evil ghosts and rebellious gods.

So everyone followed together, full of enthusiasm and vigor.

just like.

At this moment, they seemed to have gained the ability to scare away ghosts and gods.

The confidence of the shaman comes from the talisman hanging around his neck, and their confidence comes from the shaman.
-
In Xihe County.

In an inn, two people dressed like foreign merchants gathered together, occasionally opening the window to look outside.

"What's the matter? Why haven't you come back yet?"

"Is nothing going to happen?"

"We are all back, why hasn't he come back yet?"

"This guy is always like this, always procrastinating, just like a lazy donkey pulling a millstone and pooping a lot."

After a while, a man finally ran back from the street below the window.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and immediately closed the window at the same time.

"Finally home."

"Ask him how things are going."

"Why are we in such trouble here? If we don't figure it out, the ghost will be angry."

“We have to figure it out.”

As soon as the man came back, he closed the door, sat down and spoke to the two of them.

"The talisman has been placed in the water tank of the county office. Just wait and see. This time, the plague ghost will definitely possess these guys, making them suffer from excruciating pain, unable to live or die. They also know that this plague ghost cannot be driven away just because mortals like us want to."

When the other two heard this, they immediately nodded.

"This Xihe County is really weird. Our methods have always been successful, but here a Taoist priest who can also cure plague ghosts suddenly appeared and started competing with us."

"Those Taoists can only cure plague ghosts, but they are not familiar with how to drive them away. As long as we keep using the plague spell to summon ghosts, they will never stop."

"When the plague ghosts start to trouble the county office, they will be helpless. We just need to step in and quell it and drive those Taoists out. Then I can spread the Five Ghosts Dao in Xihe County."

"When that time comes, we will have the final say in Xihe County. If anyone dares to go against us, we will curse him and let the ghosts take the lives of his entire family."

The three of them were thinking happily and talking about it in a long and tidy way, as if they were already very familiar with this process and had repeated it many times.

Looking more closely at these three people, their faces look somewhat different from the locals, and their accents clearly show that they are from other places.

But when the three were plotting something big, the door was suddenly kicked open.

A group of strong men in police uniforms rushed in, and without saying a word, they started punching and kicking these people, and then tied them up with ropes.

The three men originally wanted to resist and escape, but when they saw that they couldn't escape, they started shouting.

"Why did you catch me?"

"Why are you arresting us?"

"We are serious businessmen who came to Xihe County to do some small business. What are you doing?"

"Let me go quickly!"

These guys looked fierce on the outside but were actually weak on the inside. Although they were still shouting, the leading officer could tell at a glance that they were clearly hiding something from him.

Seeing this, Liu Hu felt that he had not made a mistake and said with a cold snort.

"Since we have caught you, you know why."

After a while, the officers who were searching the room immediately found the strange thing and brought it to Liu Hu.

"Head, look."

The box opened, revealing its contents.

Liu Hu took a look at the thing, which was a few neatly folded talisman papers. He lifted a corner of the folded talisman paper and looked inside. He saw something like a pill wrapped in sausage casing.

Liu Hu was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what this thing was. He looked a little panicked and hurriedly gave instructions.

"This is an evil spell cast by these bad guys. Be careful not to break the spell."

Liu Hu put the talismans back into the box, and immediately stepped forward with anger and kicked one of the three people kneeling in the middle. His force was so strong that he kicked the man so hard that he vomited blood. Liu Hu still felt unsatisfied, so he stretched out his hand and gave the other two people a big slap in the face. In an instant, half of their faces were swollen.

"As expected, you filthy bastards actually came to our Xihe County to harm people."

"Have you ever thought about how many people have died at your hands and how many fellow villagers have suffered because of what you have done?"

Of course the three of them had thought about it and knew about it, but they were not from Xihe County, so they couldn't care less about these things.

The three of them didn't say anything, nor did they try to argue or shout anymore. It was useless to say anything at this point.

They didn't even look ashamed. Instead, they stared at Liu Hu with anger and malice in their eyes.

After a while.

The officers found another package from under the bed. Inside the package were three sets of clothes and three ghost masks.

The ghost mask was extremely large, covering the entire head.

The fangs and sharp teeth are bright red, as if they were dyed with blood. If someone were to wear this ghost mask and walk around at night, he would probably scare passers-by to the point of shitting and pissing themselves.

After Liu Hu got the mask, he felt that it must be useful for some purpose.

"What is this?"

"what for?"

The three men remained silent, as if they looked down upon Liu Hu, a small servant.

Liu Hu is not a good person and he will not indulge them.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

He took a big step forward and slapped them a few times, making them look like pigs.

"Take it out and show everyone what this stuff is."

When these three people were dragged out of the inn, the people downstairs and at the door of the inn had already received the news. Although they did not know the whole situation, they knew that the plague ghosts that had been causing panic among the people recently were brought about by these evil people.

The crowd was outraged and rushed forward roaring, wishing they could beat the three men to death.

Finally, Liu Hu said, "There must be someone behind these three people. The county magistrate asked me to bring him back for interrogation. When the time comes, we will catch the culprit and bring him to justice."

After everyone heard this, they stopped.

After bringing the three men to the government office, the county magistrate sat in the hall and started to torture the three men.

The three men could not bear the punishment and finally spoke.

Ghost Disciple: "We are the ghost disciples of the Five Ghosts, and we came to Xihe County under the orders of the ghost messenger."

Jia Gui: “What’s the purpose?”

Ghost Disciple: "Use the plague spell to summon the plague ghosts and spread the plague in Xihe County. Then we will use the method of curing ghosts and removing the curse to eliminate the plague, and use this to gain a foothold in Xihe County and recruit believers."

Jia Gui was shocked: "Why are you recruiting followers? Do you have any plans?"

Ghost disciple: "I don't know about that. The three of us also follow the orders of the ghost messenger. We do whatever the ghost messenger tells us to do."

After some interrogation, everyone finally understood the origins of these people.

These people were disciples of the Five Ghosts Sect who came by boat from the land of Bashu. The Five Ghosts Sect was a half-witch and half-Taoist entity. Its predecessor was the Wugui Clan of the Bashu land, who believed in Ghost Bo.

After Taoism was introduced into the land of Bashu, these people integrated the Taoist tradition and gradually formed the present-day Five Ghosts Dao, or it can also be called the Witch and Ghost Dao.

These people have passed down many strange and unusual skills from the ancient tribal era to witchcraft and Taoism, including many horrifying and cruel evil techniques and methods.

After being caught, these people were not afraid of death, but they just couldn't endure the punishment.

Even though they were beaten black and blue, these people still spoke viciously.

"We are the descendants of Ghost Master, and we have the protection of many ghosts."

"After death, our souls will return to the underworld, and we can still rule the underworld."

One of them even spoke wildly, threatening everyone in the hall and threatening to take revenge.

"You are torturing the three of us now, and you will definitely be punished in the future."

"When the ghost messenger arrives, the ghosts will capture your souls. If we are dead by then, you may fall into the hands of the three of us."

"The three of us will surely make your life worse than death, a fate you cannot live without, and a fate you cannot die without."

The three men were in shackles and covered with scars.

But he held his head high and swept everyone with vicious eyes, especially staring at the officer who had just tortured them.

The torturer was also frightened to death. He quietly stepped back a few steps, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the Five Ghosts disciple.

Everyone was terrified, and some even covered their faces with their hands, fearing that the evil spirit would remember their looks and take revenge on them in the future.

But at this time, a voice came from behind the screen on one side.

"Then let your ghosts and gods come!"

The three ghost disciples of the Five Ghosts looked over together and vaguely saw a tall and handsome shadow behind the screen.

"Who are you?"

"Are you not afraid of being killed by ghosts and gods after you die?"

"No matter how noble your position is in this world, no matter how strong your body is, you will eventually die. Don't you fear the underworld?"

The three of them threatened with harsh words one by one.

The person behind the screen looked at it indifferently and responded.

"Let alone you little ghosts, even if the ghosts and gods in Jingu County or even your ghost uncle come, I will not be afraid of him."

"I came here to take away these evil witches and ghosts that are causing trouble."

After hearing this, the three of them finally put away their expressions and asked seriously.

"Who the hell are you?"

The person behind the screen continued.

"You three released the plague ghost. God is watching you. You may think you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from God!"

"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have mastered some evil arts?"

"Do you think that people in this world can't discover your methods?"

"As soon as I arrived in this city, I knew that all this was caused by you three. They had people capture you. They captured you little ghosts first, and then they captured the big ghosts from your Five Ghosts."

The ghost disciples of the Five Ghosts finally understood how the three of them were discovered and captured.

The ghost disciples finally showed expressions of fear, and one of them knelt forward, pulling the chain.

"How do you know that the three of us summoned the plague ghost? Could it be that you can see through yin and yang and follow the trail of the plague ghost to see the three of us?"

The person behind the screen did not give a clear answer, but just said one sentence.

"God told me."

Then, he told the three of them.

"After you three die, don't even think about being a tyrant in the underworld. Various punishments in the underworld are waiting for you."

After hearing this, the three of them were very excited.

"Who are you?"

"You said that we should be punished in Youdu, so we must be punished in Youdu?"

"What qualifications do you have to say that?"

But unlike the three people, everyone in the lobby of the government office cheered and applauded, and the fear on their faces faded away one by one, as if they really believed what the figure behind the screen said.

Even the officers mustered up their courage again and dragged the three men away without mercy. On the way, the three men struggled and shouted, and wanted to speak wildly again.

The officer showed no mercy and beat them with his fists until they cried out in pain.

After capturing a few little ghosts, the figure behind the screen stood up again, walked out of the lobby and got on a ox cart at the door.

The witch then entered the carriage. A strong man was responsible for driving the carriage, and another strong man followed closely on the road in the city.

Went to Jingu County.
-
The ox cart moved along the street and slowly left the city.

Inside the carriage, the shaman took out the talisman hanging around his neck and found that it emitted a faint light.

She lifted the curtain and looked outside, and she always felt as if a pair of eyes were watching her.

But she didn't feel afraid, instead she felt confident.

Miko: "What's wrong?"

The witch lowered the curtain: "Nothing."

There is a "bird" flying in the sky, and everything below is reflected in the "eyes" of the "bird".

The image in those eyes was then transmitted to a mandrill carrying a base station in the distance, and finally to a distant cave by the river.
