Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 33
Wan Shugao and others walked to Ding Ermiao and discovered that the copper coins Ding Ermiao had just scattered formed three circles around the footing.However, these circles appear to be round but not round, and are irregular.

Ding Ermiao squatted down, took out a paper charm from his backpack, and stuffed it into a mineral water bottle.Then he shook it a few times, handed the mineral water to Wan Shugao, and asked the four of them to take three sips each.

"Is it okay if you don't drink?" Pang Dun asked in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, but you will die." Ding Ermiao said expressionlessly.There is no turning back when the bow is drawn. Now it is not up to you to choose.

Wan Shugao gritted his teeth, raised his head and took three big sips, then smacked his lips and said, "It tastes good."

Seeing Wan Shugao drinking Fu Shui, Pai Gu and the others had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink three sips of water each.When everyone had finished drinking, Ding Ermiao took the mineral water and drank it all without leaving a drop.

"Sit down and I'll draw a talisman for you."

Ding Ermiao ordered Wan Shugao and others to sit cross-legged according to the directions of east, west, south and north. He also ordered everyone to close their eyes. They were not allowed to open their eyes without instructions.Then he took out another paper talisman and placed it on Wan Shugao's forehead. Then he took out a brush, dipped it in some unknown liquid, and started drawing across the talisman paper.

"Brother Ermiao, what kind of ink is this? Why does it have a strange smell?" Wan Shugao asked.

Ding Ermiao kept drawing talismans on the four people one by one, and said softly: "I don't have time now. I will tell you when the mission is over." But in his heart, he thought, can I tell you that this is corpse oil?
After a few minutes, all four of them had talismans drawn on their foreheads.Ding Ermiao took out the red thread she bought at Lao Han's shop today and tied it to the four people's wrists.

After everything was arranged, Ding Ermiao solemnly said: "When you open your eyes later, no matter what you see, you are not allowed to be surprised and act according to my instructions."

"Brother Ermiao..." Glasses finally showed his timidity: "I want to go back now, is that okay...?"

"We will definitely go back before four o'clock." Ding Ermiao shouted in a low voice: "Now listen to my command, one, two, three, open your eyes!"

Despite the instructions, Wan Shugao and others opened their eyes and exclaimed in a low voice: "Fuck...!"

The riverside, which was desolate and silent just now, was now bustling with activity.On the other side of the Wuyu River, people were coming and going, including men, women, young and old, rubbing shoulders.Although the sky is still gray, the dim light does not affect everyone's vision. It seems that the eyesight has suddenly become super good, and you can see far away at a glance.

But the strange thing is that the faces of those people can't be seen clearly, and they always appear hazy.

Pang Dun drank the most wine tonight, and he was still a little unconscious at this time. He asked with a big tongue: "Brother Er, Er Miao... When did these people come? Are they gathering here, or at the night market?"

"Three-day trip to summer camp. Now, the time is up, I will send them back." Ding Ermiao said lightly, but the expression on his face was very solemn.

He motioned Wan Shugao and others to stand up and said: "Wan Shugao and Glasses are in a line, and Brother Paigu and Pangdun are in a line. From the river to the woods, line up in a straight line and tighten the red rope. The two lines are parallel, about one foot apart in the middle. Far away. Then, with hands on hips and threads beginning and ending, the two of them stand facing each other and do nothing."

Wan Shugao finally saw that something was wrong, and his legs were shaking as if they were shaking: "Brother Ermiao, the people on the other side of the river...are not human?"

Ding Ermiao glanced at the other side of the river, and then nodded: "They are all wandering ghosts. Tonight at three o'clock, it will be the last moment for the gate of hell to be closed. If these ghosts miss the time, they will stay in the world to do evil. So, I'm going to do something to lure them into hell."

All the wine in Fatty's stomach turned into cold sweat, and he stammered: "Could it be...could this be the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk?"

"More than a hundred, right? I think it's at least thousands." Ding Ermiao said firmly.

"Brother Ermiao, this is a matter of the underworld, why should we interfere?" Paigu's breathing was rapid and his face was pale.

Ding Ermiao looked at the ghosts on the other side of the river: "There are a lot of wandering ghosts this year. It seems that there are not enough ghosts to escort them, and the Yin and Yang Road is also very crowded. So, I helped them to open another Yin and Yang Road. This is a great merit, everyone. As long as you complete the task, there will be benefits in the future.”

Wan Shugao wanted to ask something more, but Ding Ermiao pointed at their feet, and the four of them immediately started to move involuntarily.Wan Shugao and Pai Gu walked side by side towards the river; Pang Dun and Yan Yan went in the opposite direction, towards the woods.

The two red lines were both only 24 feet long, extending from the river to the woods.Ding Ermiao started from the river, followed the red line, and tied a chopstick to the red line every few steps.He moved very quickly, and it only took about ten minutes to tie the chopsticks on the two red lines.

After all the chopsticks were tied, Ding Ermiao stood at the end of the woods.He inserted three incense sticks as thick as chopsticks on the ground between Pang Dun and his glasses, and lit them smoothly.Immediately, the rich aroma spread out.

Then, Ding Ermiao walked back to the river, took out a small box from his backpack and opened it.In the small box is the soul-inducing lamp purchased in the afternoon.It is said to be a lamp, but it is actually more like a small balloon that has not been inflated.

Ding Ermiao suddenly inflated and the balloon inflated. Then, a dim green light lit up inside, like the light of an opal.

Ding Ermiao hung the soul-inducing lantern on Wan Shugao and Paigu's wrists, and then the entire arrangement was completed.He breathed a sigh of relief and retreated to the outside of the line, waiting closely and quietly for the fragrance of the soul-inducing incense to spread to the other side.

The aroma spread, and the wandering souls on the other side began to react.At first, there were only a few wandering souls who stopped to watch. Then, some wandering souls floated over from the water, crossed the river, and slowly walked into the parallel line...Then, more and more wandering souls joined the team in an endless stream.

The distance just now was far, so Wan Shugao and others couldn't see clearly the face of the wandering soul on the other side. Now that the wandering soul is walking in front of them, Wan Shugao and Pai Gu can see clearly and know what a ghost is!
Although the faces of those wandering souls are all kinds of strange, they have one thing in common, that is terror!
The first one is a female ghost, in modern clothes, with a dark face, with red gashes and oozing blood, she must have been burned to death at the scene of the fire; the second male ghost, with a pale face, a pair of dead It has fish eyes and a very big belly. I don’t know whether it fell into the water and drowned, or whether it was caused by eating too much;

The third one should be the famous Hanged Ghost.This was a young woman. She walked into the parallel red line, turned her head and glanced at Wan Shugao at the gate. The three-inch long red tongue suddenly stood up and moved towards Wan Shugao's face. !
Wanshu Gaohun flew out of the sky, and he was so frightened that he wanted to drop the red thread and run away, but his legs didn't obey his orders and he couldn't step out.

"Stare at her, she is more scared than you!" Ding Ermiao shouted in a deep voice: "You are possessed by a ghost now, and no wandering spirit can hurt you."
