The Exorcist

Chapter 2 Children’s Grave

The mass graves on the south side of Tietou Mountain are inaccessible, so there is not even a path. Walking in the weeds as tall as a person, even the top of the head is gone, and not a single person can be seen, only the miserable long grass, as if there is no wind. The 'squeaking' sound.

He Fugui carried a big bamboo basket and walked gingerly through the grass.

Brush——Brush——

There were strange noises all around him, but he didn't dare to look back. He only felt that there were countless eyes staring at him in the grass, and the bamboo basket in his hand was extremely heavy, as if someone was pulling him.

When he woke up in the morning, he thought carefully about what happened in the middle of the night. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He might not be able to think about it, or simply escape to another country. Anyway, he was a man who had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry. No worries. But he had no travel expenses and was instead in debt, and he didn't know how far he could go to avoid the two women in cheongsam.

They said that since they chose him, they would assume that he agreed to cooperate with them! How dare he escape in this situation? ! Thinking about their exquisite embroidered shoes, brocade red cheongsam, the facial makeup of the Peking Opera actors, and the weird tone and voice of their speech, He Fugui shuddered and quickly gave up the idea of ​​​​escape!

Besides, didn't he dream of peonies the night before? The bodies of these two women are embroidered with peonies. Maybe this is a sign from their ancestors, indicating that they will be rich and prosperous soon. No matter if she is a fairy or a ghost, as long as she can make him really rich, he has nothing to fear!

He is a gambling person. If he is not allowed to gamble, his heart will feel like there are ten thousand little hands scratching it, and it will be extremely itchy. He couldn't tell where this obsession came from. Anyway, gambling was everything to him. For this 'hobby', he did not hesitate to lose all his family property and sold his beautiful wife who had no family to support him. Now he has someone who can help him. The opportunity to gamble as much as you want without fear of losing, let alone the mass graves, let him go to hell, as long as there is a gambling table in hell!

God of Gamblers! God of Gamblers! What a scenery that is. Compared with that wonderful future, what is this little scare? !

But having said that, when I actually arrived at this place, looking at the desolate back mountain with the pale moonlight, walking through the long grass and wild trees, I couldn't hear anything except my own heavy breathing, but I still felt... So scared!

His feet slipped, and He Fugui fell down and gnawed on the mud. When he looked up, he saw a small dirt bag in front of him, but it turned out to be a barren grave. The soil on the grave was so dry that it cracked. At first glance, it looked like he was grinning at him.

He Fugui was startled. He quickly got up and held the bamboo basket in his hand tighter. "You always forgive me! You always forgive me! I didn't mean it. I'm going to get out!" He trembled and whispered. He prayed loudly and hurriedly turned around to leave. But as soon as he turned around, a dark and thin thing appeared in front of him. He was so frightened that he almost lost his breath and fell to his knees. His body was shaking like chaff, and he couldn't even say a whole sentence. Not coming out!

He had only visited this back mountain out of curiosity once when he was a child, and the path was not familiar at all. Although the moonlight was bright now, he still couldn't tell the direction. The two women in cheongsam didn't say the specific location. He just walked one step at a time. He didn't know where he was going, but he didn't dare to stay in one place. Cold sweat had already broken out layer after layer, and his heart was filled with tears. I felt a little regretful again.

After kowtowing for a long time, I didn't see any reaction from the black shadow in front of me. I took a brave look and saw that it was just a dead locust tree! But this discovery didn't make him feel better. He didn't remember that there was a tree here when he came over. Besides, why was the ground wet?

The sky was sunny and the barren graves behind were dry and cracked. Why did he step on the wet mud and fall? Why does this tree appear for no reason? Was he really possessed by a ghost? !

In panic, he ran away, thinking that even if some great immortal wanted what he had in his hands, he would not dare to give it to him now. Those two female immortals were still waiting to use him. How could he be such a hapless person? No one can afford to offend!

In the bamboo basket were incense candles, paper money, and a bowl of chicken blood rice.

Originally, the two immortals in the middle of the night only asked for money for incense paper, but after returning home, he had another dream, in which a bowl of chicken blood rice and yellow paper appeared vaguely, so he brought them too. .

He thought, there is no such thing as free help these days. Since people want to help him become the God of Gamblers, then he should help others in the future, and it is reasonable to pay a little fee in advance now.

He was penniless, his house and furniture were not included, and the only thing he was selling was the small dark room that no one wanted. He had no money left at all, so he almost knelt down to the incense and candle seller before he was willing to sell it. If you give him some credit, the boss probably thinks he still has some filial piety!

"stop!"

A female voice suddenly appeared, shocking him so much that he quickly put his feet back and sat down on the ground. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw two pale faces shaking in front of his eyes. His eyes turned white, but he was not frightened to death. He recognized that the owners of these faces were the two cheongsam masters!

Perhaps he looked so embarrassed that he made the two women in cheongsam laugh, but the laughter of the two women echoed in each of these barren graves, making this mass grave even more eerie and terrifying. .

"It's good that you're here!" said the Three-Inch Golden Lotus.

"Don't dare - don't dare not come!" He Fugui got up from the ground and knelt down. He was very afraid of these two 'women', but they were familiar to each other after all. Compared with this place, which seemed to be full of dangers, his fear was slightly less.

The two women didn't answer her, they just inhaled hard against the wind. When he realized that they were smelling the things in the bamboo basket, he quickly raised the bamboo basket high above his head.

"It smells so good!" Someone sighed.

"If the two immortals like it, I will come to pay tribute every day!" He Fugui said piously. At first, he didn't understand why they liked it so much before the incense candle was lit. Later, they realized that what they were smelling was chicken blood rice. .

"Huh, do you have money? Plan to use the money you win to honor us! It's not our own merit, but you will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha." The Tianzu said. Her voice was thick and had a look down on others. After listening to it for a long time, He Fugui could distinguish it.

"Yes Yes."

"What's wrong with you, you loser!" she said again.

"Sister, forget it, he's already here." Sancun Jinlian said, although her tone was gentle, her voice was sharp and she liked to draw long sounds, which was particularly uncomfortable to hear.

"Those things of yours are not for filial piety to us, but for yourself." This sentence was addressed to He Fugui, "We will teach you a method. As long as you can survive it, all the gambling luck in the world will accumulate on you. You will win every time you bet."

"Yes, thank you - Immortal." He Fugui still didn't dare to raise his head. The arm holding the bamboo basket high was already sore, but he didn't dare to put it down.

"No need to thank you, just remember that we asked you to become the God of Gamblers and you can help us fulfill our wishes. I think you won't break your promise, right?"

"Never - never break your promise!"

"It doesn't matter if you break your promise. We will always follow you anyway. Are we still afraid that you will run away to the edge of the world?" Tianzu interjected.

He Fugui wanted to say something nice, but this sentence made his throat seem to be blocked. What, are these two immortals going to follow him all the time? ! Then doesn't he have to be scared to death every day? Then wouldn't he be like a prisoner in custody, unable to be free for a moment? !

"You regret it!" Sancun Jinlian suddenly lowered his face. Instead of bending down or squatting down, his whole body floated and stood upside down.

He Fugui was so shocked that his hands softened and the bamboo basket fell. However, the basket did not tip over and hung in the air as if it was being held by an invisible hand. The face in front of him was smiling, but it was also extremely terrifying, with bottomless holes for his eyes and mouth. It was as if he was attracted by a huge magnetic force. He couldn't avoid that face, and said tremblingly, "No, no! I don't regret it!"

"That's good." A hand patted his shoulder, and he didn't know where it came from. "In this case, we will tell you now how to get invincible gambling luck. This is a secret. We can only I tell you how, but you have to do it yourself.”

"Yes. Yes. Thank you."

"It's actually very simple, it's just that it's hard to find a place that meets the requirements." Tianzu didn't seem to like to talk much, and the three-inch golden lotus kept saying, "You first have to find a children's grave, and those who want to be buried in the grave are those who are born and born. A hundred-day-old baby, and there must be at least seven such graves. You have to say, you can just find seven such babies to kill. What's so difficult about this? But the difficulty is that they can't be seeking gambling luck. It must be a child's grave caused by a baby who died of natural causes. It seems that this condition is quite difficult to handle, but there was an accident in the neighboring county ten years ago - "

Before she finished speaking, He Fugui remembered what happened ten years ago, when he was still in high school in a neighboring county. A fire suddenly broke out in the county hospital there, which may have been caused by a short circuit in the wires. The fire started in the obstetrics and gynecology department. Unethical nurses and doctors were busy running for their lives. Ten newborn babies were burned alive. There was a big fuss at that time, and the angry and sad parents killed the nurse.

"Yes, that's the thing." Three-Inch Golden Lotus seemed to know what He Fugui was thinking, and said with a smile, "How rare it is to die so violently! So, you are so lucky to meet such a rare person in a thousand years. Good opportunity. The locals all know how unlucky this incident is. Even fire and lightning can't calm down such overwhelming and innate resentment. Therefore, they don't dare to bury them locally, and they can't just throw away the bodies of the babies. They can only secretly Bury here! Because Tietou Mountain is a bare mountain, it is not easy to gather spirits, and people from neighboring counties want to use this natural mountain to suppress the natural yin energy!"

Only then did He Fugui understand the cause of the matter, and heard San-Inch Golden Lotus continue to say, "Now that we have found a good place, you just need to choose a tomb with the strongest resentment under our leadership, offer chicken blood rice, and burn it." Put three incense sticks on the rice, then burn the paper money, use your blood to write your name on the yellow paper and burn it. When the three sticks of incense are burned out, add three more sticks, and carry these three sticks all the way back. Just go home."

"Is this enough?" He Fugui thought this was a bit simple.

"If you hadn't died, you would have been the God of Gamblers." Tianzu said coldly, "Because as soon as you take the incense and leave, there will be many ghosts following you and scaring you. You have to survive. Do you think it's so easy to become a god of gambling? Nothing in the world is so cheap. But it's too late for you to regret it. You can either try it or be eaten by us. It's your choice."

Knowing that He Fugui would not dare to resist, the three-inch golden lotus smiled and leaned close to his face. He Fugui felt a chill wrap around his whole body, making him shiver and become as stiff as wood.

"Don't look back!" Three-inch Golden Lotus said quietly, "When you are holding incense and going down the mountain, don't look back!"
