The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 94: The Descendant of the Ghost

For this kind of grudge, you naturally cannot kill the other party right away. Instead, you have to hold back and give the other party a warning first, letting them know that they have offended someone they shouldn't have offended.

Li Zhen used a kind of black magic called "Long Hair Magic" on this person.

This is a kind of black magic from the Magusu school.

If you are hit by this kind of black magic, your whole body will feel itchy, starting with the itching on the surface and then the itching will spread from the flesh.

At this stage, hair will grow all over the body of the person who has reached the middle stage.

Gradually, the person who has been cursed will feel that the hair is growing from deep in the bone marrow and from the soul.

The itching sensation will also spread to the bone marrow and even the soul.

Even scratching the skin can't stop the itch.

However, this kind of black magic will only be fatal at the last step, which gives the opponent time to react.

It is not difficult to perform this kind of black magic. Just write the person's birth date on the back of the photo as a prop. After reciting the spell, place the photo in front of the six-armed bat-faced evil demon statue, and the initial process of the magic is completed.

Suddenly, something came into his mind, and Li Zhen looked at the runes on his right arm.

A new mission has arrived, and there are probably three or four hours left...

Li Zhen came to the small bamboo basket containing the little ghost's heart and dripped a few drops of blood into it again.

With the help of his blood, the Yin energy in the little ghost recovered quickly and should be fully recovered in another half a day.

Afterwards, Li Zhen fed the vampire zombie with blood and returned to the place where he had just conducted the experiment, continuing to explore how to absorb the yang energy in human blood.

Compared with talismans and chicken blood, the yang energy in human blood is indeed much milder. Li Zhen has gradually figured out the dosage that suits him best.

As long as those talismans are not used up, he can continue to absorb yang energy, gradually strengthening the yang energy in his body and temporarily solving the problem of his soul leaving the body.

As the mission time was approaching, Li Zhen sealed the rag doll and placed it in front of the bat-faced evil demon statue.

I don't know what world this time...

A few minutes later, Li Zhen, who had prepared everything he needed to take away, disappeared into the basement out of thin air.

……

Just ten minutes before Li Zhen disappeared.

A young man wearing black-framed glasses and as thin as a monkey was crying in a hall where statues of gods were enshrined.

"...I don't know what's going on. I started itching a few hours ago. It itches everywhere... I took medicine and applied some kind of ointment, but it didn't work. Someone must have cast some kind of spell on me."

"I really have no other choice, so I came to you, Brother! Brother, you have to help me! If you don't help me, I will just wait to die!"

The man had puffy eyes, dark circles under his eyes, a pale face, sunken cheeks, and prominent cheekbones. He looked very old.

At this time, his whole body was covered with red marks, and some places had blood marks, making him look a little scary.

There are three male gods enshrined in this hall.

One holds a magic sword, one holds a magic bell, and the last one holds a Buddha whisk. The three gods have different postures and look extremely majestic.

Sitting cross-legged on a cushion in front of the statue was a tall, middle-aged Taoist priest.

The Taoist had a short beard and wore a Taoist robe, looking a bit like an immortal.

After listening to the man's narration, the Taoist sighed and said, "Junior brother, have you done something to offend others again?"

"Think about it carefully. If you can solve this problem, maybe your problem will be solved."

The man was anxious: "In the eyes of Senior Brother, who am I? Am I the kind of villain who stirs up trouble all day long?"

"I have been chanting sutras every day recently and haven't done anything else. You know that, brother."

The Taoist remained silent.

The man lowered his head and wailed, "It's a pity that my old father died young. He didn't take care of me since I was a child. Before he died, he asked you brothers to take care of me. You brothers have done a great job over the years and have done my father a great service."

"I'm leaving here now and never coming back, so as not to bore you brothers."

The Taoist sighed again: "That's not what I meant. If Junior Brother can solve this problem on his own and avoid grudges with others, it will also be beneficial to him."

Seeing that things were turning around, the man quickly said, "I don't know what the problem is. I haven't had any grudges with anyone recently. If my senior brother doesn't help me, I'll be itching to death. How can I solve the problem?"

The Taoist hesitated.

The man suggested, "Brother, why don't you ask the True Lord for his opinion?"

The Taoist nodded.

He stood up and bowed respectfully to the three gods on the altar.

"I am hesitant about something. Please, Master, make the decision for me."

He picked up a pair of hexagram cups on the altar with both hands, circled them three times over the green smoke rising from the incense burner, then opened his palms and let the hexagram cups fall naturally to the ground.

The shape of this hexagram cup is a small sheep's horn, one side is flat, which is the yang side, and the other side is convex, which is the yin side.

After each roll, there are several different outcomes.

This time, both cups landed with their flat sides facing up.

This is called a Yang Cup, which means that the gods have not given a clear response and are neutral about the matter.

The man's brows relaxed. "Brother, look, even the True Lord doesn't object!"

"Junior Brother Wu Zhiling has been struck by an evil spell. I don't know the reason and I don't know whether I should hold an altar for him. Please, Master, make the decision for me."

The Taoist explained the problem in more detail and tossed the divination cup twice in a row, with the same result.

"The True Lord really has no objection!" The man scratched his body several times, leaving several blood marks.

The True Lord did not object, but he did not support it either, and the Taoist was still hesitant.

A younger Taoist strode into the hall from outside and said loudly, "Brother, why are you still hesitating?"

"Junior brother, it's obvious that you've been victimized by some unorthodox method. The most important thing is to help you solve your problem first. We can deal with the rest later. Otherwise, people will think that we in Changshan Sect have no capable people left."

……

When his vision returned to normal, Li Zhen and the vampire zombie carrying luggage appeared on a quiet street.

It was night time, and there were very few pedestrians around.
After observing the architectural styles of the houses on both sides and the words on the plaques, Li Zhen concluded that this should still be Hong Kong Island.

Wei Jialiang has encountered a strange incident and lives in fear day and night, longing for someone to save him from his fear. Please help Wei Jialiang, so that he can no longer be afraid, and solve the cause behind the strange incident.

The mission description this time is a bit abstract, so I can only rely on my own research...

After sensing the information from the rune, Li Zhen walked forward.

When passing a bar, he stopped and turned to look at a young man walking out of the bar.

The young man had typical Hong Kong style long hair covering his ears from the 1970s and 1980s, reeked of alcohol, and walked drunkenly towards a red sports car parked on the side of the road while hugging a woman dressed coolly.

After encountering strange events, you still have the mind to pick up women in the bar?
Why doesn't this guy look like a good person?

Li Zhen frowned and looked at the man for a few seconds.

As they passed by this person, Li Zhen suddenly said, "Your brow is dark and your face is bloodshot. Have you encountered a lot of strange things recently?"

The young man's body shook, and his eyes became much clearer.

The woman he was hugging laughed and said, "Where did this fortune teller come from? Why is he saying such unlucky things here? Let's go and ignore him."

"There are so many beauties, and he can only look at them... Ouch..."

The young man roughly pushed the woman away and asked Li Zhen, "You...you are a mage?"

Li Zhen is full of yin energy and has a unique evil look on his face, which naturally makes people afraid.

From this fear arises a sense of mystery.

Under the influence of an inexplicable sense of mystery and fear, the man immediately determined in his mind that Li Zhen was a "mage".

Apart from a character like the "Master", who else could be so sinister and eerie?

Li Zhen nodded: "If you don't have a master to save you, you will be dead soon."

The man shuddered as he remembered something, and quickly led Li Zhen towards his sports car: "Master, let's find a quiet place to talk!"

"Wei Jialiang, just sleep with a man for one night!" The woman cursed angrily when she saw that the man had left her and gone with another man.

Li Zhen took the vampire zombie into the red sports car.

In fact, he didn't see any bloodiness in the man, he just wanted to scare him.

It seems that this man was really frightened by the strange incident, otherwise he would not be frightened after hearing just two words from him.

A red sports car stopped in front of a luxurious residence.

Li Zhen got out of the car and followed the man named Wei Jialiang into the house.

After sending the babysitters away, Wei Jialiang poured Li Zhen a glass of wine and said to him, "Master, you can see my problem at a glance. This shows that you have great magical powers. If you can save me, I will definitely give you a reward that will satisfy you."

This is his home. In addition to the nanny, there are several security guards who are available at any time. He feels very safe here and it is a very suitable place to talk about things.

Of course, ever since the strange incident, this sense of security is not as strong as before.

Li Zhen sat down on the sofa: "If you don't tell me your problem first, how can I know if I can save you?"

Wei Jialiang took a sip of wine and said thoughtfully, "Master, you are right. I have indeed encountered some strange things in the past few days."

"The day before yesterday, I was eating a coconut here, digging it out with a spoon, and I saw the coconut turn into... into... something inside a person's head. Yes, that kind of thing... Ugh, it still makes me sick when I think about it now."

This sounds a bit familiar...

Li Zhen put down the wine in his hand and continued to ask, "Did you encounter any strange things?"

Wei Jialiang took another sip of wine and pointed with his glass toward a nearby table. "Last night, I was sleeping and felt really uncomfortable. I was about to get a drink of water when I saw the water in the bottle and the glass bubbling up." "I was terrified... I also saw water bubbling out of the pot, the wine bottle, the wine glass... everything that could hold water."

"I ran to the bathroom, packed up the things and threw them into the toilet. To my disbelief, I saw the water in the toilet was also bubbling up, as if it was boiling."

"Finally, the toilet exploded with a bang, and the stinky water sprayed all over me..."

Li Zhen's expression became a little strange: "Have you done anything against the law of nature?"

Wei Jialiang's face changed.

Li Zhen's expression was sincere: "From what you said, I think something is targeting you. If you don't tell the truth, I can't help you."

Wei Jialiang drank the rest of the wine and sighed, "As for what I mean by immoral things, I haven't done anything, but something did happen a while ago."

"That day, a friend and I were out for a drive when we happened to meet a beautiful woman... We had both been drinking a bit and were a bit impulsive, so we took her to an abandoned villa... An accident happened, and the woman fell to her death."

"We went to find a witch and wanted to summon her to talk to her and see if we could resolve the grudge between the two sides."

"The witch invited her ghost over, but that bitch said she would never let us go. She also said her son would definitely avenge her and that we would never escape."

"Then we thought about it. That bitch had only been married for a few months, so there was no way she could have a son. Doesn't this mean... that she was deceiving us?"

"I thought it was over, so I went to the bar for a drink, and unexpectedly I ran into the Master."

"According to the master, it seems that the incident has not passed at all, and it scared me a lot."

"Master, you must help me. I swear, I didn't mean to hurt anyone!"

Li Zhen didn't know what to say for a moment.

He was absolutely certain that this was the world of the heavy-handed old horror film "Ghost Seed".

Li Zhen remembers the plot of "Ghost Planting" very clearly.

The protagonist accidentally hits a fleeing wizard while driving. The wizard warns the protagonist that uncovering his witchcraft will bring bad luck, which may lead to serious illness at the very least and the destruction of his family at the worst.

Later, this statement came true.

The protagonist's wife died suddenly and tragically, and his family was broken up not long after he got married.

As a last resort, he found the wizard and threatened him to help him with revenge, otherwise he would report the wizard who had tried to steal the corpse.

So the wizard assisted the protagonist and used the evil magic of "planting ghosts" to avenge him.

In this drama, the protagonist's wife is not a good person.

She hooks up with someone else right after marrying the protagonist and doesn't have much patience for him.

On the night of her death, she had a conflict with her lover and got off the bus in the middle of the night to go home alone.

Later, he met two hooligans, was taken to a deserted villa and beaten, and finally fell to his death.

What made Li Zhen speechless was that according to Wei Jialiang, Wei Jialiang should be one of the two gangsters.

It was he who pushed the man down the stairs and killed him.

After being discovered by the protagonist, this guy took his friends to kill people to silence them, but failed in the end and was beaten up by the protagonist.

What should we do now?

It was the first time that Li Zhen was summoned by a villain, and he had no experience in dealing with it, so he was a little hesitant for a moment.

He looked at the task description carefully, then looked at Wei Jialiang and fell into deep thought.

Wei Jialiang was a little bit strange being looked at. "Why is the mage looking at me? Well, as long as the mage can help me, I can give the mage anything."

Li Zhen stood up, walked to the zombie that followed him in, and took out the small bamboo basket containing the little ghost from behind the zombie.

This zombie doesn't walk by jumping, but by taking steps like a human. As long as the steps are not too high, they cannot stop it.

Li Zhen's behavior made Wei Jialiang feel even more puzzled.

"The mage is..."

"Don't be nervous, I need to prepare some magical tools."

Li Zhen wiped off the runes on the outside of the small bamboo basket.

Wei Jialiang suddenly realized, "Does the mage need to prepare magical tools to deal with the evil ghost transformed by that woman? If the mage can send her to the eighteen levels of hell and make her never reincarnate, then..."

He suddenly stopped.

The sudden chill from behind made him shudder.

Turn your head slowly.

Wei Jialiang saw a strange little face and then he lost consciousness.

The ghost that possessed Wei Jialiang said, "Where is this place? I seem to have only slept for a while, and I ended up here. It's really strange..."

Li Zhen said, "Let's do our work first. I need him to answer my questions honestly."

"Wei Jialiang" said: "You ask, and I will make him answer honestly."

Detective Li asked several questions related to the woman's death, and Wei Jialiang, who was controlled by the little ghost, told the truth honestly.

It was similar to the process he had described before, but with a few more details.

It was Wei Jialiang who first assaulted the woman. Later, in order to drag another friend into the water, he wanted him to assault the woman as well. As a result, he accidentally pushed the woman down the stairs and she died.

There aren't many good people...

Li Zhen instructed the little ghost, "Let him become a vegetable."

"Wei Jialiang" asked: "What is a vegetative state?"

Li Zhen was surprised.

This kid lived in an era when there was no concept of a vegetative state, or was it that this kid was so uneducated that he had never even heard of a vegetative state?

He explained: "Don't kill him directly, let him remain in a coma forever and never wake up."

"Wei Jialiang" asked again: "Then what should I do?"

Li Zhen sighed weakly, "Devoure his three souls, but don't harm his seven spirits. He will be a vegetable for the rest of his life."

"Oh, that's easy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jialiang fell forward straight, his body twitched a few times, and then he stopped moving.

"Why didn't I bring my doll? And my pony too." A little kid who kept chewing something appeared next to Wei Jialiang.

Li Zhen, who was a little nervous, quickly looked at the rune on his arm.

Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see any notification that the mission had failed.

Although he didn't know what the consequences would be if the mission failed, Li Zhen had a hunch that the consequence was definitely not what he wanted.

The task description is to let him help Wei Jialiang so that Wei Jialiang will no longer be afraid.

It seems that simply turning Wei Jialiang into a vegetable would also meet this requirement.

That’s right, with his help, Wei Jialiang has now completely gotten rid of his fear.

The next step is to "solve the causes behind the strange events"...

Li Zhen was very interested in the wizard and the "ghost planting" technique he performed, and wanted to meet the wizard.

But before that, he needed to ensure that Wei Jialiang's vital signs could be maintained until the end of his mission.

Li Zhen frowned and looked at Wei Jialiang, his expression suddenly changed.

The clothes on Wei Jialiang's back suddenly bulged upward in a small arc, as if his spine was moving upward.

"Something's happening over there?!"

Li Zhen pulled open Wei Jialiang's clothes and saw a horrifying scene -

The vertebrae on Wei Jialiang's back were slowly bulging upwards.

If the spine was moved a little further upwards and fractured, Wei Jialiang would be dead.

"Can't let him die! Take him!"

Li Zhen pressed on the protruding vertebra and forced it back.

The little ghost who received Li Zhen's order did not dare to delay and drilled into Wei Jialiang's body again.

Wei Jialiang's body began to twitch again, and his spine returned to its original state.

In just a moment, Wei Jialiang's body exclaimed like a little ghost: "Too fierce! I'm no match for him! Help me!"

Seeing that Wei Jialiang's spine started to move again, Li Zhen ran to the zombie, took out a palm leaf whip, ran back to Wei Jialiang and whipped him directly.

The screaming little ghost immediately left Wei Jialiang's body.

Li Zhen whipped Wei Jialiang several times in succession, dispelling the evil spirit that was possessing him.

Seeing that there was no more abnormality with Wei Jialiang, Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

The little ghost rubbed his back and complained quietly, "Why are you hitting me too?"

Li Zhen ignored him.

He found a knife and cut Wei Jialiang's finger. Li Zhen used Wei Jialiang's blood as ink to draw rows of twisted runes on Wei Jialiang's face and body.

This is a method used to deal with little ghosts. It is just right to use it here to defend Wei Jialiang from the invasion of ghosts.

But before Li Zhen finished drawing the runes, he saw the runes previously drawn on Wei Jialiang's face disappear one by one...
