Folk customs begin with Wu Caishen

Chapter 40

So was Wu Shi the one who starved Wu Qing to death?
Then it makes sense that he hates snake ghosts.

Thinking about games and reality, Shi Xin agreed.

"Can you guarantee that the ferryman won't do anything halfway?"

"Yes!" Wu Shi said with certainty, "Just tell him that you two are the food I offer to the mountain ghost. Also, you have to pretend to be unconscious and let him confirm that you can't resist."

"No!" Zhang Su had a different opinion: "Sister Shi, is it too dangerous to pretend to be unconscious and close your eyes, losing vision or something?"

Shi Xin raised her hand, and the little beauty spider on the fingernail of her left hand began to spin silk. Circles of strong silk thread wrapped her hands and bound them.

"In this case, doesn't it count as resistance?"

"Wow wow wow!" Zhang Su shouted in surprise: "What is this, Sister Shi? I thought it was your manicure! You can actually control spiders?"

This is so ignorant...

Shi Xin asked him to be quiet and talk in detail when he had time.

Wu Shi said that this method could be tried, and then Zhang Su's hand was wrapped in spider silk.

Of course, this time the spider silk has no anesthetic effect.

A small boat soon arrived on the river. The ferryman was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat. He was thin and he was not the ferryman who set off at noon.

Wu Shi spoke to him in dialect from a distance, and the process went surprisingly smoothly. Perhaps this kind of food delivery behavior was no longer strange.

Shi Xin asked Zhang Su to pretend to curse, but if he was too calm, there would be ghosts.

Zhang Su opened his mouth after hearing this. From his ancestors of eight generations down to his relatives, friends and neighbors, everyone who came into contact with the ferryman was sprayed with blood. The key is that this guy did not use curse words when he cursed, and the more he cursed, the more energetic he got. The condensed essence of the nine years of compulsory education was all used to practice Yin and Yang dialects, and the ferryman who scolded him did not say anything and was indifferent.

Zhang Su gasped tiredly: "Sister Shi, why is he so thick-skinned? Why is he still not angry after being scolded like this?"

Shi Xin asked him to look carefully.

The ferryman's rowing force was much stronger than before, causing large splashes of water. The veins on the back of the hand holding the wooden oar burst out, and his neck became stiff.

Zhang Su was so happy that he wanted to scold him.

The ferryman suddenly raised his oar and pushed hard against the head of the oar, pushing Wu Shi who was following him into the river.

"Ah-ah-"

Wu Shi's crutch was still on the boat. He screamed helplessly, not even able to shout for help. Black mist rose from the river, and a tiny whirlpool formed under him, dragging him in in the blink of an eye.

The ferryman swung his wooden oar and came towards Zhang Su with a livid face, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to stab him through.

"White-haired Princess!"

When the core twitched slightly, the spider silk dissipated. The snow-white silk thread strangled the ferryman and threw him into the river. With a pop, it drew a sharp arc.

"Orochimaru, save me!"

The black mist rose again on the river, this time forming two whirlpools, one engulfing the ferryman and the other engulfing the boat.

The boat swayed and fell rapidly, and Shi Xin pulled up the fallen Zhang Su.

"You go first!"

This distance is enough for Shiroji to safely bring people away from her body.

When Zhang Su landed, Baifaji immediately returned and rolled up the time core. The moment her body soared, the whirlpool swallowed the boat and the river returned to calm.

"Just, what was that just now?"

Zhang Su's legs were weak and he was a little unsteady.

This was the first time he had seen a monster other than White-haired Princess, and he was still afraid of White-haired Princess, let alone another unknown creature.

"Orochi Immortal." Shi Xin wiped the water droplets on his face, "The monsters that control the entire village are just don't know what kind of monsters they belong to." Yin spirits, Yin gods, or Yin beasts?
In short, this extraordinary ability cannot be compared to ordinary monsters.

Zhang Su recalled what he had just encountered: "So, the six classmates who were killed were killed by this thing?"

Shi Xin replied: "Yes."

As for why they only eat offal, there are two possibilities, either it's a quirk, or it's to reduce their stress response to dead people.

The operation is very skillful.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost time to cook. In the past, there would be smoke in the back mountain, but now it is so quiet and there is no sound at all, which is really suspicious.

"White-haired Princess."

Shi Xin's mind moved, and the white-haired Ji stretched out her arms to spread her body into threads, and flew into the forest to explore, leaving only a pair of red pupils in place.

Zhang Su watched the four-meter-tall Yin spirit disappear to such a small size, and was very curious: "Sister Shi, what are you doing?"

"Pathfinder."

Shi Xin also had a sudden thought. It would be too dangerous to advance rashly. It would be nice if someone took the lead.

Zhang Su will definitely not work if he is too weak. Only White-haired Princess has good extensibility and may be able to achieve simultaneous video transmission. I tried it and it worked.

It can be used to develop eavesdropping services in the future.

The current radius of Baifaji's exploration distance is 55 meters. The two of them climbed along the stairs. Except for the occasional snake that appeared and was cleaned up, there was no other danger.

Taking advantage of his free time, Shi Xin popularized science knowledge with Zhang Su, told him the differences between Yin gods, Yin beasts, and Yin spirits, and told him the origin of Gou Wa.

Zhang Su heard that Shi Xin fought against Huang Zhi Lao Dao and released innocent dead souls last night, and praised her as the living king of hell.

...Damn, it seems like I was scolded.

Not sure, listen again.

"In the underworld, the ghosts are all controlled by the King of Hell, and in the upper world, it is Sister Shi's turn to take care of them. This is truly a sign of the King of Hell coming to the world with a kind heart and a kind heart!"

"You want to say Living Bodhisattva, right?" Shi Xin looked in disbelief, "How did you get into Luocheng University if your Chinese is so poor?"

After all, the lowest admission score back then was [-], so it wouldn’t be a bad student admitted, right?
Zhang Su scratched his head in embarrassment: "In order to earn face, my dad bought a new set of equipment for the school's biology laboratory. The equipment is top-notch, and the maintenance costs are covered."

"Oh," Shi Xin thought for a moment and said, "Then you really should go."

She took out her phone and looked at the time: 5:41.

It's strange, after walking for so long, why do I still feel like I'm still in the same place, with the surrounding scenery unchanged?
Even Zhang Su felt something was wrong. He panted and said, "Sister Shi, we won't encounter ghosts hitting the wall, right? I can't even walk."

Shi Xin looked up at the sky.

The so-called ghost hitting the wall means being trapped in a fixed space.

Nothing has changed here, the mountains are still mountains, the trees are still trees, and the setting sun hangs halfway. I occasionally pass by a few houses, but I don't see the same house, which proves that they are not staying still.

[Xuan Mao: Within the radius, between the five senses. 】

In fact, Xin Xin used the black cat to sense the evil spirit long before Shiroji transformed into silk thread, and there was no reaction at all at that time.

But now the surrounding area is filled with evil mist, and the entire mountain is wrapped in evil spirit.

"White-haired Ji, come back!"

This snake ghost did it on purpose. I am afraid that when it releases this evil spirit, it will only increase a little bit each time, just below the perceived threshold, so it can weave this trap and cage unknowingly.

Xu Shixin's act of recalling Baifa Ji aroused the snake ghost's vigilance, and the evil spirit that was originally calm became restless.
