Chapter 4
"Good." Prepare well today, the forbidden area is not as simple as you think.
Uncle Gui Qing took me to a house and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
I raised my hand and looked at what was in front of me, somewhat afraid to touch it.
Finally, with trembling right hand, he gently pushed open the door.
The door opened gently and I walked into the room.
The room was spotless, evidently cleaned regularly. The tables and chairs had a sense of age. Excitedly, I walked over to the table and picked up the pipe.
This is the one that my grandfather had back then.
Seeing the things reminded me of my family, and tears started to flow down my cheeks. For so many years, I have kept my family's affairs in my heart. Over time, family matters have become a huge mountain in my heart.
I have basically never confided my true feelings to outsiders, I was just pretending to be strong.
Now, whenever I see this pipe, I think of the scenes from my childhood and I can no longer suppress the emotions in my heart, and they all burst out at once.
"Don't cry. I believe that with your current ability, you will definitely be able to break through the forbidden area and meet Brother Ming and the others." Uncle Gui Qing comforted me from behind.
I nodded while crying, unable to control my tears at all.
"You can sleep here tonight. This is your home. No one has lived here in the past few years, but your aunt still comes here often to clean it," he said.
"Thank you, Uncle Qing," I said.
He walked out and I lay on the bed and cried bitterly, my tears soaking the quilt.
I don’t know how long it took until all my tears dried up.
"Little sister, is your aunt coming in?" A gentle voice sounded from outside.
"Come in," I said.
She opened the curtain and walked in.
This is a woman in her forties, with a kind face, wearing the unique clothing of our ghost tribe.
"I'm your Uncle Gui Qing's wife," she introduced herself.
"Aunt." I stood up, walked to her and hugged her.
"She really looks like A-Ling!" She hugged me and said while looking at my face.
A Ling is my mother's name, her name is Gui Ling.
"Let's go, the meal is ready. You haven't eaten since you came back. This won't do. How can you go to the forbidden area without filling your stomach?" she said.
She led me to Uncle Guiqing's house. There was a bonfire in the yard, and people were surrounding it.
I only know Uncle Guiqing and three of them, I don’t know the rest.
"Today is your first day back in the ghost clan. According to the rules, we have to hold a party." said my aunt.
I looked at them. Although we had never met before, each of them looked at me kindly.
Is this what home feels like?
"My little sister is here, let's get started." As an old man finished speaking, two men brought in a cow and a sheep.
They put the whole sheep next to the campfire and then lit the fire. The cow was cut into pieces and you could pick the piece you wanted to eat with a wooden stick and roast it next to the campfire.
Cattle and sheep were considered precious meat in ancient times, and the custom of roasting them has continued to this day.
As I watched them jumping around the bonfire, a loud noise came from behind me.
Brilliant fireworks exploded in the night sky, lighting up the entire village.
This is my clansmen welcoming me back to my roots.
I couldn't help but be moved.
They pulled me to join the dance. I was unfamiliar at first, but gradually I caught up with their rhythm and everyone was very happy.
When you get tired of dancing, you can sit on the side to rest. When you are hungry, you can eat roasted beef and mutton. Finally, everyone starts singing in a language I have never heard before, which contains a deep and desolate feeling.
We played until 11 o'clock in the evening before everyone dispersed. This dance party had not been held for a long time, and everyone felt a little reluctant to leave.
"My little sister is going to the forbidden area tomorrow. We wish her a safe journey!" said the old man.
"Bon voyage!" They all raised their glasses.
I also picked up a glass of wine from the table and drank it with them.
Finally I returned to my home and spent the whole night in silence.
I got up early because I couldn't sleep.
Uncle Gui Qing took me to the back of the cliff. When I saw the murals on the cliff, I felt something in my heart. It was exactly the same as what I saw in my dream.
But now is not the time to study this, I followed Uncle Gui Qing all the way to the top of the mountain.
Until a forest appeared in front of us, he said: "The front is a forbidden area. We can't go in without the permission of the high priest. You just need to follow the road and walk all the way to the top of the mountain, and you will see Ming Ge and the others. Remember, be careful, there are many evil things imprisoned in there."
"I'll be careful." After saying that, I walked into the forest without hesitation. No matter how powerful the things in there were, they could not stop me from seeing my family.
As soon as you step into the forest, you are hit by a strong and dark energy, and everywhere you look, you see ghosts.
This is not a forbidden area at all. The number of them is almost the same as the ghosts on the road to the underworld.
When they saw me come in, they rushed towards me.
There's no end to the killing, so I quickly chanted, "The Moon Emperor shines brightly, the Sun Emperor illuminates. The Four Truths and Three Qis protect my soul and spirit."
As soon as the soul-protecting spell came out, I quickly ran to the top of the mountain.
These ghosts are more ferocious than those in the underworld. When they see me, they bite me tightly like a starving person seeing a piece of meat.
If I continue like this, I will end up in the underworld sooner or later. At that time, there will be ghosts that I have saved to help me, but there are none here.
I ran for more than twenty minutes, and a barrier seemed to appear in front of me, and there were no ghosts inside.
I rushed into the barrier and the ghosts were so frightened that they didn't dare to come near.
As soon as I rushed in, I felt a huge evil aura. I quickly raised my head and saw a ghost with its head chopped in half looking at me.
All these auras come from it.
I stood up from the ground, and a fire bell immediately appeared in the palm of my hand. I didn't believe that this person was someone I could easily deal with.
It flashed and disappeared, and then I felt clammy and cold.
It can actually possess me!
You should know that the ghost spirits in our ghost clan are specifically designed to defeat ghosts. When my body was replaced by the pen demon, it was burned to death as soon as it possessed me.
And now, I actually feel that my body is gradually out of my control.
I quickly drew an exorcism talisman on my forehead, and the talisman flashed with golden light, forcing it out of my body.
I used the Fire Bell Technique to burn it, and it was fine.
It seems that this is a ghost specially raised by the ghost clan, with the purpose of punishing the people of the ghost clan. Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense.
If these ghosts are afraid of ghosts, then how can they stop us, the people of the ghost clan?
Fortunately, I learned the Taoist art of talismans, and the exorcism talisman I just used was very effective.
I immediately drew a Five Thunder Talisman and blasted it towards it.
The lightning struck it, causing its body to become pale.
It really works!
I was secretly delighted, wondering if this was cheating?
I shouted loudly and threw three Five Thunder Talismans at it. Unfortunately, I am not a Taoist descendant and cannot recite the Five Thunder Curse using Taoist magic, otherwise I could chop this ghost into pieces.
I am already satisfied with being able to do these. The high priest and others would never have thought that I could be so clever.
I don't want to deal with it anymore. My goal is not to destroy it, but to reach the top of the mountain as soon as possible.
