Chapter 75 Fighting
On the bullock cart, the shaman sat holding a talisman and edict in his hand.
"Since you have said that you will never come back from the other party, you must keep your word."
Mechanical sounds came from the talisman. This "Questioning Earth God Spell" not only clearly explained the route of the two people who escaped, but also the situation in the inn. It even recited the words of those people.
From late at night until dawn.
Asked about the Earth God Curse, there was a steady stream of specific news, including the number of people in the post station of the Five Ghost Paths, the believers in and outside Jingu County, what kind of arrangements they had made, and what kind of big net they had prepared to wait for their arrival.
The witches and witches on the side did not make any move, but Taoist He was already stunned.
Only then did he realize that almost everyone in Jingu County had been controlled by the Five Ghosts, and everyone from the county magistrate on down had to obey the orders of the Five Ghosts.
It's no wonder that he rushed over from Xihe County to cure this plague, but he almost ended up dead.
Taoist He clapped his hands and suddenly realized.
"How did these demons from the Five Ghost Realm know that we were coming? The news was so accurate and they happened to be waiting for us halfway."
"It turns out that everyone in Jingu County has become their people."
"The county magistrate sent an official letter to Jingu County to inform me in advance, but it actually leaked my information."
The wizard said: "These people have a plan for a long time. They have arranged this plague not only to harm people, but also for other ulterior purposes. Now is the harvest time. If you come here now, you will ruin their good deeds."
Taoist He: "I thought I was here to save people, but I fell into their trap. Fortunately, the magic witch came and saved our lives."
Wizard: "I'm not only here to save you, but also to save the people of Jingu County, and also to collect these evil spirits who have summoned plague ghosts to harm people."
Taoist He: "Whatever the wizard wants to do, just tell me to wait."
The magician: "I have brought over another batch of the medicinal materials and supplies you are lacking. You will lead everyone into Jingu County early tomorrow morning to cure the epidemic ghosts and rescue the sick people in the county. You must make a big splash and give it in a grand manner.
Everyone knows."
Taoist He: "Isn't this just throwing myself into a trap? What's scary in Jingu County right now is not only the plague ghosts, but also the officials above and the people below. If the demons from the Five Ghost Dao give a shout, the entire Jingu County will be full of me."
How can we defeat the enemy who is waiting for us?"
But soon, Taoist He also figured it out.
"The magic witch wants to let all the people in Jingu County see that they are not the only ones who can cure epidemic ghosts, so that the officials and elders of Jingu County and the demons of the Five Ghost Paths can be separated."
Then, Taoist He changed his words.
"but."
"In this case, the demons from the Five Ghost Path must be very angry and want to fight us to the death."
The wizard nodded and continued.
"That's exactly what it's meant to be."
"You go to cure the plague ghosts. If the demons of the Five Ghost Paths become angry and angry, then invite them to a fight in an open field on the spot."
Taoist He suddenly realized: "Is this what the witch wants?"
Wizard: "Let these monsters and demons gather together, and then we can catch them all in one fell swoop."
Taoist He was still a little uneasy: "The wizard is well prepared. After all, we are weak here, but the opponent has more people and strength."
The wizard was worried that Taoist He would be too timid to go, after all, the plan required him to be the bait.
This kind of task is never easy to complete. It is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, the bait will be eaten by the fish.
Therefore, the witch also revealed some information.
"Here, I just borrowed a spring thunder from the sky."
After hearing this, Taoist He immediately felt confident.
"Then I'll feel relieved."
"How can those demons and monsters from the Five Ghost Path withstand the thunder in the sky?"
——
It's still dark.
The gate of Jingu County was crowded with people. Everyone was kneeling along the street, and many of them were dragging sick bodies.
"Ah, it hurts!"
"My stomach hurts so much, and my head hurts so much."
"What should I do?"
"This is because I did not worship the great immortal properly, so I suffered retribution."
Everyone knelt on the ground, looking eagerly at the closed city gate and waiting eagerly.
The time has finally come.
The city gate rumbled open, and a group of shadows appeared in the darkness outside. Those people were wearing black robes and carrying lanterns.
Even if I just see a shadow, I feel like the eerie ghostly energy is coming from a distance.
However, what the people in the city shouted was.
"The great immortal is here."
"The great immortal is here."
"Kowtow, kowtow quickly."
A large number of people began to kowtow continuously on the roadside, praying and crying while kowtowing.
Some of these people were burning paper money, some were holding high boxes containing gold, silver and jade articles, and some were holding high-quality brocade cloths.
These are used to worship the great immortals and are also their life-saving money.
"Great Immortal, please save us, please save us!"
"The man of faith, Gu Dezhao, offered me some gold, silver and jewels. I hope the immortal will use his magical power to save my family's lives."
"Great Immortal, I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life, please save me!"
"I don't want to die!"
Eight masked evil spirits were carrying the sedan, and groups of little ghosts were wandering around the sedan.
And sitting in a sedan chair.
It is exactly the plague ghost and ghost difference of the Five Ghost Path.
This isn't a trip of gods, it's clearly a group of ghosts parading around the streets.
The living people on both sides of the road were in a panic, kowtowing, throwing money, and holding high gold and silver.
In the middle of the road, there was a group of people wearing ghost masks and carrying sedans, swaying and chanting incantations, creating a scene of demons dancing wildly.
When the sedan passed by, countless people bowed to the ghost on the sedan.
The bell-ringing ghosts and whistle-whistle ghosts also came, but the status of the two people who lost their mandrills during this trip dropped sharply, and they could only follow the sedan on both sides, like the guardians on the left and right.
However, the faces of the two ghosts looked unconvinced. As they walked, they would pout their lips from time to time.
Sudden.
The sedan stopped.
At this moment, everyone around them also stopped moving and looked at the ghost sedan.
A light lit up inside the sedan, and the shadow became more obvious. The other party raised his hand, and a harsh and sharp sound came from inside.
"Cold food is coming!"
"The human world is transformed into fire, and sacrifices are made to gods and ghosts."
In ancient times, it was a custom to extinguish all the fires passed down from the previous year during the Cold Food Festival, that is, to ban fires, and then drill the flint again to take out new fires as the starting point for production and life in the new year. This is called changing fires or inviting new fires.
When changing fire, a grand ceremony to worship ghosts and gods must be held.
Many people believe that when the old fire is extinguished, ghosts and gods will enter the world one after another.
"At that time, the ghosts and gods will enter the world of the sun, and the gate of ghosts will also open wide!"
"I will do this when the ghost gate opens and closes, and send the troubled ghosts back to Youdu."
"Those who worship the ghost uncle will have their sins forgiven."
"Those who enter my ghost realm will avoid evil obstacles."
The Five Ghost Path has been laid out for many days, and the plague ghosts and ghosts feel that the heat is almost there.
In addition, the Taoist from Xihe County and some kind of shaman appeared on the side, which also made the plague ghost ghost feel a hint of crisis. He was ready to speed up the closing of the net and pick off this fruit that had grown rich and plump.
After hearing these words, everyone immediately cheered. This endless terror was finally coming to an end. Many people burst into tears and cried bitterly.
At this time, the kid on the side even chose to give medicine to believers on the side of the road.
Choose someone who is "sincere" and "round", and put down the ghost-exorcizing medicine wrapped in a charm while taking away the gold and silver treasures they enshrined.
These people sacrificed most or even all of their wealth and lives in exchange for a small packet of medicine.
But I bowed and thanked him with tears of gratitude.
"Thank you, Great Immortal."
"Thank you to the immortal for giving me the medicine. I don't have to die anymore. I don't have to die anymore."
"Great Immortal, please save me too. I am also sincere. I am willing to worship the Great Immortal for the rest of my life. I will have no complaints or regrets!"
"I have medicine, I have medicine, hahaha, I have medicine."
At this time, the voices inside the ghost sedan began to move again.
The light inside the sedan lit up again, and the ghostly figure was projected on the door curtain, making everyone terrified.
"A sincere heart leads to spiritual success. After receiving the elixir from my Five Ghost Paths, you must dedicate your body and mind to Uncle Ghost. Those who are not sincere will not be protected."
"Those who survive will have to worship Uncle Ghost every day from now on and accept my orders from the ghost realm. Those who violate this will be punished by being devoured by thousands of ghosts."
The voice of the plague ghost ghost was already sharp, but now it was raised and it became even more shrill and shrill. Coupled with this situation, it made everyone even more terrified.
Everyone clasped their hands together and chanted in unison.
"Those who worship the ghost uncle will have their sins forgiven."
"Those who enter my ghost realm will avoid evil obstacles."
The voices of countless people reciting mantras in unison echoed through the streets of Jingu County and soared into the sky with great force.
And if you look closely at the road, you will see that not only ordinary people in the city, but even officials from the county are kneeling by the roadside.
The magistrate, who was the esteemed official of Jingu County, knelt in the direction closest to the outside and bowed to the ghost sedan again and again.
The ghost sedan passed by and was given not many ghost-killing medicines, not even one out of ten.
Most of the "Wu Yuan" people did not get the anti-ghost medicine today. Although they sighed, they also felt a glimmer of hope when they remembered what the "Great Immortal" said before.
Since the Great Immortal said that on the day when the ghost gate opens during the Cold Food Festival, he will do something to send the plague ghosts back to the netherworld.
Then it means.
As long as he survives for a while, he can be saved.
From this point of view, the great immortal is still kind.
It's just that my sins are too heavy, or I have no chance to be a great immortal.
No wonder the great immortal.
The ghost sedan drove straight in, and finally, surrounded by the county magistrate and a group of bureaucrats and village nobles, it entered the county office in a grand manner.
With this show after another, in just a few days, the influence of the Five Ghost Path in Jingu County is increasing day by day.
And as long as we wait until the cold food season and hold a grand and hearty ceremony to send away the ghosts who have caused trouble in the world, everything will fall into place.
The Five Ghost Path will completely establish its foothold here, and even become an existence that can be said to be true.
After entering the county office, Bing Gui Gui Cha finally got off the sedan chair, and a group of bureaucrats and nobles welcomed him in with their waists bent, and made him sit on the chief seat.
At this moment, he is more like the master here.
After everyone saw him sitting down, they did not dare to sit down themselves, but knelt directly on the ground.
At this time, the magistrate of Jingu County said something.
"Great Immortal!"
"There are many people infected with the disease in the county, and the fellow villagers are suffering terribly. Can we give more medicine?"
However, how could the ghosts and ghosts of the epidemic agree to it? If the medicine is now released for "charity", then how can the people of Jingu County know how to be afraid and how to be reverent?
The effect is much worse.
Moreover, they haven't plundered enough during this trip. Every day that passes, the more wealth they plunder.
Everyone is counting on this to make a fortune!
How can this anti-ghost medicine be sold at such a low price?
Epidemic Ghost Ghost Cha: "Elixirs are rare, I only get a little every day, and I have given them all."
The magistrate of Jingu County begged hard, but the epidemic ghost ghosts refused to give.
At the end of the sentence, Bing Gui Gui Cha was a little angry.
He even spoke.
"If your mother hadn't been protected by my Five Ghosts, would she be alive now?"
"You don't want to repay, and you are greedy."
"If you offend Uncle Ghost, they will definitely send ghosts and gods to seize the souls of your whole family, and they will be relegated to the Nine Netherworld and never be able to stand up again."
As soon as these words came out, the magistrate of Jingu County did not dare to speak anymore.
The people of the Five Ghost Path placed the ghost sedan in the lobby of the official office, and the group of people walked through the lobby and walked inside.
A few days ago, a group of ghost disciples from the Five Ghost Path said that there was earth energy in the official office, and the refining of the ghost-expelling medicine needed to be made here, so the place was occupied in a grand manner.
Every day here, I am greeted by the chief clerk and the guards. He is obviously just an outsider with no identity, but his authority in Jingu County is growing day by day.
He is not a county official, but he is better than a county official.
I have to say that although this trick has ulterior motives, it is very effective.
The epidemic ghost ghost chai led all the "ghosts" inside and stopped for a moment.
"Crack!"
The "ghosts" following behind were caught off guard, but they immediately stopped. Many people crowded together and barely escaped falling to the ground.
At this time, Bie Gui Guicha suddenly smiled proudly.
"In a few days, Jingu County belongs to the imperial court on the surface, but secretly it belongs to us."
All the "ghosts" also laughed together, each one feeling very proud.
Afterwards, the plague ghost and ghost chap spoke to the "left and right guardians" beside him.
"If you and I hadn't made such a mistake, after I captured Jingu County, I would have used the same trick to capture Xihe and Lucheng counties together. This mission would have been completed."
"The fault lies with you two."
Tongling Gui Cha and Whistle Gui Cha didn't dare to say otherwise. Without Mandrill, they would have no confidence to speak.
Whistle Ghost Chai expressed his dissatisfaction in a warning tone: "Aren't you worried about the Taoists and witches in Xihe County?"
Tong Ling Gui Cha also looked concerned: "That witch is very powerful, you still have to be careful."
He had just been worshiped by countless people, and all the officials were respectfully standing under him. It was the time when the epidemic ghost and ghost officials were satisfied with their ambitions.
Without looking back, he waved his sleeves.
"What are you worried about?"
"That group of Taoists from Yunzhen Taoism, you two can easily take them down. They are just ordinary people without any skills."
After talking about Yun Zhen Dao, he started talking about magic witches.
At this time, Bie Gui Gui Cha only frowned slightly.
"The magic witch you are talking about is a bit troublesome. He is a person with a heritage. However, my heritage of ghost witches is not a vegetarian. If they were outside, I would still respect them."
But immediately, he still became confident.
"But now, this is Jingu County."
"Have you seen this battle today?"
"I have made it clear that all the people in Jingu County belong to me. When they arrive, I will take them in."
"It's just in time to clear the way for the next deployment in Xihe County."
The Plague Ghost Gui Cha spoke loudly, with full confidence and sounded decent. The Tongbell Gui Cha and the Whistle Gui Cha had nothing to say, and their momentum was a bit weaker.
Seeing this, Bie Gui Guicha's eyes showed a bit of pride, and he looked even more arrogant.
This was the effect he wanted, to completely subdue these two people who now had no reputation as mandrills.
"In my opinion, that's Yun Zhen Dao, that's some kind of magical witch."
"Seeing the momentum of my Five Ghost Path in Jingu County, knowing my thunderous means to capture this place, seeing how I was worshiped by thousands of people just now."
"Even the high-ranking county magistrate is lying at my feet like a slave."
"Let me see."
"I definitely don't dare to come."
"Okay, let them live for a few more days, and then we can deal with them when they go to Xihe County later."
"No one who dares to go against my Five Ghosts will be spared."
Whistle Ghost: "What if they come?"
The plague ghost snorted coldly: "Then I have at least ten ways to kill them, and let them choose one when the time comes."
At this time, it was just dawning outside.
The crowd gathered on the street has not dispersed yet, and many people are still looking towards the county office, hoping that Kai En can administer the medicine again today.
And many people even knelt on the ground and never got up, preparing to kneel until dark to show their piety.
I hope that in this way, I can move the great immortal and the ghost uncle, and get the ghost exorcism medicine in the next application.
suddenly.
Suddenly, there was a violent sound of gongs outside. It was noisy and came from far away.
"Dong dong dong dong!"
Immediately afterwards, I vaguely heard the sound of someone shouting in the gong, and finally there was an overwhelming noise outside, as if something big had happened.
For a moment, there seemed to be an unpleasant smell coming from outside, giving people a vague sense of a change in the situation.
On the street, inside the county office.
When everyone heard the movement, they all looked in the direction where the gong sound came from.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
"What's the noise outside?"
"Hurry up and find out."
After a while, news of what happened outside came back.
A ghost disciple hurriedly came to the front of the epidemic ghost ghost messenger, immediately fell to the ground, and said quickly.
"It's not good."
"Taoist priests from Yunzhen Taoism came to my door and openly distributed ghost-expelling medicine on the street. They said that there was no limit on the supply of medicine and that everyone could take it."
"And we also need to build a museum in the county to collect and treat epidemic ghosts."
The ghost disciple wiped his sweat and kept talking.
"They also said."
When he said this, the ghost disciple hesitated for a while, not knowing whether he should say the next words.
Tong Ling Gui Cha raised the corners of his mouth and stepped forward to ask with great concern and a sense of justice.
"What did you say?"
"Don't be secretive in front of everyone."
"We are all our own people here, what are you afraid of?"
The ghost disciple glanced at Tongling Gui Cha, but in the end he still looked at Plague Ghost Gui Cha and said.
"And he was talking while beating the gong."
"They will save those who we, the Five Ghosts, cannot save."
"The ghosts that our five ghosts can't drive away will be driven away by them."
The whistler on the side was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
But he also knew that this was not the occasion to laugh, so he immediately raised his hands high and turned his unconcealed laughter into a sharp shout.
"Ultimately arrogant."
"The clown."
"Having seen our power and our thunderous methods, we have come to the door with our back foot."
"You don't take us, the Five Ghosts, seriously. We must give them something powerful to try!"
What he talks about is the Taoist of Yun Zhen Tao, but what he sees with his eyes is the ghosts and ghosts of epidemic disease.
Hearing what Whistle Gui Cha said, Tong Ling Gui Cha almost lost his voice.
But he just closed his eyes and nodded in agreement.
"Yes yes yes."
"We have to give them something powerful to try."
It's just that the two of them were only focused on their disgusting epidemic, but they suddenly forgot that it was the two of them who shouted to give each other something powerful to taste.
At this moment, everyone looked at the epidemic ghost ghosts in unison.
In fact, except for the bell-ringing ghost and the whistle-whistle ghost, the others looked at the epidemic ghost and hoped that the epidemic ghost would make an idea immediately.
But the arrogant and arrogant Bie Gui Guicha who had said harsh words just now felt that all the eyes were filled with ridicule, and his face under the mask instantly turned as red as a pig's liver.
Chapter completed!
