Chapter 66: Self-perception: So cool!
Inside Li Yuanjie's mouth, there is another mouth, located at the throat, with fine and sharp teeth growing in several layers.
The stench comes from this mouth.
Qi You stood on tiptoe to take a look and was so disgusted that he almost vomited. There were shreds of meat on the fine teeth. It was all raw meat that had already rotted. The man already had the aura of death about him. If he didn't take care of it, he would really die.
Tian Xiuzhen's eyes were red as she looked at her son's mouth worriedly. She asked, puzzled, "Why did you get such a big mouth ulcer?"
Qi You looked at her in shock. Mouth ulcer?!
Duan Anluo taught him: "Ordinary people can't see it. If Jiang Yuan comes and doesn't have a third eye, he can only treat it as a mouth ulcer."
Qi You blinked his eyes and tried to control the meridians on his eyes and withdraw the spiritual energy. Sure enough, he saw a white wound, similar to a mouth ulcer.
It turns out that what ordinary people see is different from what he sees, so he will have to look at things in two ways in the future.
Duan Anluo let go of Li Yuanjie, and the spiritual energy in his palm suppressed the evil spirit in Li Yuanjie, so that he would not be so agitated.
Li Yuanjie squeezed out a word from his throat in a hoarse voice: "Get out of here! If you dare to meddle in other people's business, I'll eat you!"
Duan Anluo didn't bother to pay attention to him. He used this sentence to scare every evildoer before dealing with him. He would just beat them up.
Duan Anluo instructed Tian Xiuzhen, "Go buy nine dragons and one phoenix, which means nine fish and a chicken. The chickens must be raw, and the fish must be alive. Also buy a bottle of sesame oil and a round cake. Go quickly and come back soon!"
Tian Xiuzhen glanced at her son worriedly and quickly ran out. Fortunately, there was a large supermarket on the street that had chicken, fish, daily necessities, and vegetables. Duan Anluo could buy everything he wanted.
After Tian Xiuzhen bought the things, Duan Anluo asked her to place the offerings on a plate and asked Qi You to burn incense. He opened the bottle of fragrant oil and poured it into a bowl.
The rich smell of fragrant oil stimulated Li Yuanjie's taste buds. He opened his mouth, and his nose seemed to grow inside his mouth. He took a small breath at first, and then his mouth opened wider and wider. His breathing became more and more rapid, his eyes were red, and he stared at the tributes greedily.
Duan Anluo slowly provoked him: "If he dies, you'll have to find another unlucky person to possess. You just came out two days early. I even treated you to a meal. No matter how you look at it, you're taking advantage. Are you coming out or not?"
The aroma was so tempting, especially with the help of the incense, Li Yuanjie's saliva couldn't stop flowing out, and soon it soaked a large area on the pillow.
Tian Xiuzhen clasped her hands together and kept bowing to her son, begging, "Please leave my son's body! I'll give you whatever you want to eat, and I'll buy more. You can buy as much as you want!"
The aura on Li Yuanjie's body was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. It was obvious that he was already moved and could hardly hold back.
Duan Anluo raised the stakes again: "If you come out now, I'll treat you to a meal. If you don't come out, I'll kill you. I see you're a pitiful person, so I'm giving you one chance. If you don't know what's good for you, then you'll be shattered to pieces."
His voice was not loud and he spoke slowly. He did not seem to have any murderous intent, but a powerful spiritual energy had already enveloped Li Yuanjie. As long as he thought about it, he could directly make the things hidden inside fly away.
"I'll just give you a favor." A hoarse voice squeezed out from Li Yuanjie's throat. A gust of cold wind blew past, and a ghost slowly crawled out of Li Yuanjie's body.
The ghost was short and thin, with a hunched upper body, sunken eye sockets, high cheekbones, and cheeks that were sunken into a deep pit. His grayish-white skin was tightly attached to his bones, making him look like a skeleton.
Ghostly aura and resentment were so thick they seemed to be substance, a sticky black mass clinging to him. The surrounding auras seemed to be infected by his magnetic field.
Although Tian Xiuzhen, who was standing closest, could not see him, she felt a strong sense of hunger coming over her. She actually thought the raw meat was very fragrant.
She looked towards her son in confusion, pressing her hands on her stomach, not understanding what was happening to her.
Seeing this, Qi You attached his spiritual power to the sword and swung it towards Tian Xiuzhen.
This spiritual power blocked the ghost energy from invading Tian Xiuzhen, and Tian Xiuzhen suddenly felt less hungry.
Qi You whispered to Duan Anluo, "Master, is this a starving ghost?"
Duan Anluo said, "How could a starving ghost live this long? Judging from the clothes he's wearing, he must be over a hundred years old. He's not a pure starving ghost, but a ghost that has been infected by the resentment of starving ghosts and revived by attaching himself to other objects."
"Just a revived ghost already has such a strong resentment. How much more resentful is the ghost that died of starvation?"
"It should be very heavy, because the feeling of starving to death is too uncomfortable."
As he spoke, the evil ghost could no longer resist and pounced on the offerings. He grabbed the raw chicken and live fish and stuffed them into his mouth.
Even with the skin and bones, it was impossible to chew it up. I swallowed it down in a bloody mess, not even spitting out the bones. The fish were bitten into my mouth, and their tails were still struggling.
The ghost acted as if he didn't see it and chewed it with big mouthfuls, eating all the scales and internal organs.
Qi You was so disgusted that he turned his head to look to the side, but Duan Anluo grabbed his head and turned his face back, "At any time, you must look your enemy in the face. The moment you turn your head, that's when you die."
Qi You gritted his teeth tightly to prevent himself from spitting it out, staring at the starving ghost eating it alive with wide eyes.
So hungry!
I’m so hungry!
Not enough, not enough at all!
I still want to eat!
The starving ghost continued to devour the offering voraciously until he had consumed more than half, then he gradually slowed down. He looked puzzled: "Strange? I could never get full before, but now I feel full."
He continued to stuff food into his mouth. The feeling of starving to death was too uncomfortable. He needed to stuff food into his mouth as hard as he could when there was food so that he could hold on longer.
He picked up the sesame oil and gulped it into his mouth. After that, he continued to stuff the fish into his mouth. It was so delicious!
Duan Anluo absorbed a bit of ghost energy, checked the cause and effect, and then his face became strange.
Qi You also imitated Duan Anluo's movements, felt a little ghost energy, and carefully sensed it, but unfortunately, he didn't sense anything. He asked curiously: "Master, what's wrong?"
Duan Anluo said seriously, "Master, let me teach you one more lesson. Never deceive a woman's feelings. Once a woman wants revenge, she will be more ruthless than a man."
Qi You didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
"It means don't deceive a woman's feelings."
"What if a woman cheats on me?"
"You're so stupid! Can't you tell if she really loves you? Didn't I give you a book on face reading? By the time you find a wife, you'll have learned everything from that book. If you've learned everything and still get deceived, then you're just a loser who wants to suffer in love."
Qi You: "...Anyway, don't deceive a woman's feelings. I remember that."
Duan Anluo added, "Men can't do that either. If others don't cheat you, you can't cheat others. If others cheat you, you have to pay them back double."
"Yeah." Qi You couldn't use it now, so he memorized it in his mind and wrote it down in his notebook when he got back.
The starving ghost finished eating all the offerings and lay on the ground with his hands on his stomach. He was finally full and couldn't eat anymore.
Duan Anluo urged him: "Just leave after you finish eating. I won't make things difficult for you."
The starving ghost bared his fangs at Duan Anluo, gazing at the master and disciple with greedy eyes. One of them was delicate and tender, while the other was small and weak...
Duan Anluo's lips curled up, "Don't be greedy, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
The starving ghost stood up unsteadily, like a skeleton that could fall apart at any moment. "It feels so good to be full. I don't want to leave."
Duan Anluo's hand fell on Qi You's shoulder and pushed Qi You forward, "Go and kill him."
Qi You nervously gripped the dagger in his hand and poured his spiritual power into it. Under Duan Anluo's encouraging gaze, he took a deep breath and rushed forward!
The master is right next to him and will never let him get hurt. Today is a good day to practice!
He had not yet learned swordsmanship systematically, and had only searched for a few scattered tutorials on the Internet. When he put it into practice at this moment, all he did was chop and slash in a wild way. The dagger was wielded in his hand without any rules, more like the use of a broadsword.
The starving ghost looked at Qi You rushing towards him with eyes that were like looking at a lamb that had volunteered to walk into the tiger's mouth. He was about to stir up his resentment, but was instantly shattered by an invisible and powerful spiritual force. Then, Qi You's dagger was already in front of him!
The sword hit the starving ghost's shoulder hard.
"Ah!" The starving ghost screamed, and sticky black ghost energy suddenly escaped from the wound.
When Qi You saw that it actually worked, his confidence soared instantly!
He shouted excitedly, raised his sword and rushed forward again, repeatedly injuring the starving ghosts.
Duan Anluo clapped his hands from the side, "Xiao Qi is awesome! Awesome! Chop his neck! Yes! Stab him in the mouth! Don't just focus on the upper three areas, you're shorter than him, take care of the lower three areas too! Yes! Castrate him!"
After being encouraged, Qi You became more and more excited as he fought. Although he had no rules, he was brave enough, had quick reactions on the spot, and was meticulous in his rough moves.
The starving ghost tried to pounce and fight back several times, but was always cleverly deflected by a force just before it hit Qi You. After a few times, it finally understood: this person actually used him as a sparring partner for his apprentice!
This kid's attacks can only cause superficial injuries, but he is tireless. The damage he does not cause is minor, but the insult is extremely strong!
The starving ghost was so frustrated that he was about to explode. He roared at Duan Anluo: "You invited me to dinner just to let your apprentice beat me?!"
"No," Duan Anluo spread his hands innocently, "I asked you to leave, but you refused to go. Since you refused to leave, I had no choice but to break you up."
The starving ghost was now filled with regret. He hurriedly shouted, "I'm leaving now! I'm leaving right now! I'll never hurt anyone again! I died miserably because I was just afraid of being hungry again. Do you know what it feels like to be hungry?"
"It's too late." Duan Anluo said calmly, "Xiao Qi, let me teach you another lesson: Never trust your opponent. Every word he says could be a lie to save his life. To cut the grass, you must root it out. You must destroy its soul and scatter its bones. Don't leave any trouble for yourself, let alone your descendants."
"I remember, Master!" Qi You's voice was filled with excitement and seriousness, and he swung the sword in his hand faster and harder.
Duan Anluo continued to applaud, "Xiao Qi is awesome! Master will take you to a restaurant tonight! Buy whatever you want! My Qi is incredibly powerful! Like a great general!"
Qi You's face turned red after being praised, and he fought even harder.
Duan Anluo watched him grow braver and braver, and he went to look at Li Yuanjie with peace of mind. When he patted Qi You's shoulder, he asked Xiaobai to hide on Qi You's body. Whenever there was an attack, Xiaobai would block it for Qi You. It was only a matter of time to deal with this starving ghost.
Li Yuanjie's soul had been eaten away, leaving him extremely weak. Duan Anluo helped stabilize his soul, then turned to Tian Xiuzhen and said, "Call an ambulance and rush him to the hospital. The food he ate while possessed was disgusting, and his body needs serious treatment."
Tian Xiuzhen frantically dialed the emergency number. In the few minutes before the ambulance arrived, Duan Anluo leaned over and asked the half-conscious Li Yuanjie, "Have you come into contact with a copper coin recently? It's about this size..." He gestured with his hand, "Not much bigger than a coin."
"Yes..." Li Yuanjie weakly pointed to the drawer beside the bed with his eyes.
Tian Xiuzhen immediately understood and dug out a copper coin and handed it to Duan Anluo.
Duan Anluo held the copper coin in his palm, and a cool ghostly aura instantly spread out.
At the same time, the starving ghost, who was being entangled by Qi You and had nowhere to hide, was suddenly attracted to the scene. He was previously possessed by this copper coin, and if the copper coin was destroyed, he would also disappear.
The starving ghost wanted to rush over to snatch the copper coins, but Qi You followed behind and stabbed him with a sword, piercing his anus.
With a scream, Qi You kicked him out, a wicked smile on his lips, "Your opponent is me." No matter what, you must have enough momentum and the demeanor of a hero.
Duan Anluo didn't look at the ghost. He carefully examined the copper coin in his hand. He stroked the surface of the coin, frowning slightly: "A modern imitation, it actually has such a strong ghost aura..."
Tian Xiuzhen asked nervously, "Master Duan, what on earth is this? Who wants to harm my son?"
Duan Anluo said in a deep voice, "Strictly speaking, this is a mouth-pressing coin. In ancient times, people were buried with something in their mouths. Kings and generals often used jade, while ordinary people put copper coins in their mouths, and some even put rice in their mouths.
There are many explanations: to prevent the soul from leaking out of the mouth and nose, or as a bribe to bribe the ghost messenger on the road to the underworld, or so that one does not have to suffer from hunger and pain in the next life... The explanations are different in every place, but the same thing is that every place attaches great importance to funerals.
The stories on TV about people selling themselves to bury their fathers are not entirely fabricated, because poor people simply cannot afford funerals."
He paused, glancing at the starving ghost. "What's more, this ghost starved to death. His children sold themselves to pay for his burial, and placed a coin in his mouth to seal it. And then, someone stole the coin from his corpse's mouth and sold it. How could he not be filled with resentment?"
"You...you mean this was picked out of a dead person's mouth?" Tian Xiuzhen's face turned pale. "But it looks new! This is a souvenir my son bought when he was out and about."
"My agent gave it to me..." Li Yuanjie explained weakly as he lay there, "There are seven of us... and each of us... gets one."
Duan Anluo didn't know whether to call Li Yuanjie unlucky or lucky. He happened to have the most resentful coin among the batch of copper coins forged by that woman.
The original coin that was actually taken out from the dead man's mouth is probably still in the hands of his agent.
Li Yuanjie said in disbelief: "She actually hurt me, why did she want to hurt me? I treated her..."
Li Yuanjie's agent is Tian Lili, who is in her 30s. She is very beautiful, has a good temper and a good figure, but she has an unlucky life.
Her husband cheated on her and committed domestic violence, but he still refused to divorce her. He had witnessed the man beating her with his own eyes, and Li Yuanjie had even rushed forward to stop him.
Li Yuanjie has a good impression of Tian Lili and has thought about pursuing her. He expressed his intention implicitly, hoping that Tian Lili would give him a chance after her divorce.
Tian Lili also understood and told him implicitly: Wait a little longer, she will divorce as soon as possible.
Li Yuanjie was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, thinking that as long as Tian Lili got divorced, he could pursue her seriously.
He thought that the relationship between them was different. When she gave them the coins, Tian Lili specifically hinted with her eyes that he should take this one.
Now that I think about it, after they got the coins, they really became more able to eat, and their traffic got better and better.
Duan Anluo didn't want to run errands himself, so he contacted the guild: asking for a bonus, help from the logistics team, an air-conditioned car to pick them up, and to send someone to check the coins in the hands of the other six people to see if they were all contaminated with ghost energy.
The money that was pulled from the dead man's mouth should be in Tian Lili's hands. This thing has such strong resentment that it can infect modern imitations. It must not be placed directly on her, otherwise she would have been in trouble long ago.
Duan Anluo thought of the scene she had seen from the ghost energy and sighed. If she had only attacked her husband, he would have turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it. But she was too greedy and actually attacked an innocent person. She could only apologize.
The sound of an ambulance could be heard downstairs. Duan Anluo looked at Tian Xiuzhen and said, "He's fine now. You can pay the fee as you see fit."
According to his experience, people nowadays are very wealthy, so when he asks the other party to give him something, the amount he gives is usually much larger than what he asked for.
Tian Xiuzhen happily transferred 20,000 yuan to Duan Anluo. Given her current family situation, this amount of money was already her limit.
Duan Anluo thanked him and urged, "Xiao Qi, isn't it resolved yet?"
"Right away!" Qi You had already poked the starving ghost into a balloon that was leaking ghost energy everywhere.
After the intense exercise, Qi You was sweating profusely, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
He found that the starving ghost's movements were getting slower and slower, and he could even guess his next move.
The opponent had never learned kung fu and relied entirely on ghost energy to harm people. When the ghost energy was not available, he fought like an ordinary person. Qi You had already suppressed the opponent steadily. After chopping him back, he rushed forward, stabbed a sword into the neck of the starving ghost, jumped up, used his weight to fall down, and pried it hard!
The starving ghost's entire head was pried off and all its ghost energy dissipated.
Qi You quickly took out the purification talisman, threw it out, turned around expressionlessly, put the sword behind his back, and felt to himself: So cool!
Duan Anluo suppressed his laughter and watched him pretend for a minute. Seeing that his posture still didn't change, Duan Anluo raised his phone and started taking 360-degree photos. He then squatted down to take pictures, which showed off his Xiaoqi's tall and strong stature. "My Xiaoqi is so handsome! How can there be such a powerful person? He has only been learning for a few days and he can kill evil spirits by himself! Genius! Prodigy! He only appears once in a thousand years!"
Qi You couldn't pretend anymore, his face flushed red, even his neck and ears were red, "Master, stop filming."
Duan Anluo continued to tease him, "I haven't taken enough pictures yet! Let's take a close-up of my hands too. That move you made when you poked the evil ghost's butt was so cool. Let Jiang Yuan worship it when we get back."
Qi You covered his face, so embarrassed~
