"Oh! This isn't real either!" Ma Hehua was speechless. It's just one person, why bother bringing so many ghosts and monsters?
An old man, skinny as a ghost, I wonder what good food he has to eat.
Little did she know that these water monkeys (short for water ghosts) had come to wipe out the entire family, intending to eat everyone in Old Man Li's household.
However, he was very unlucky and ran into the three members of the Ma family.
Ma Hehua frowned and muttered, "Tsk! What a hassle."
Then, carrying Old Man Li on the ground and in his hand, he walked out of the door like a ghost.
The neighbors nearby remained completely silent, as if they hadn't heard the knocking at the door.
Ma Hehua, carrying two water monkeys, arrived at the only road passing the dock. The road was bustling during the day, but at night, not a soul could be seen.
People in this era go to bed early and don't stay up late at all. They seize every opportunity to lie down on the ground and get a good rest and sleep.
Along this road, there is an old locust tree, and across the road at the intersection, there is a crooked tree. During the day, it doesn't seem like much, but at night, it looks very desolate and eerie.
When we arrived at the old locust tree, we saw Old Man Li seemingly sleepwalking, circling the old locust tree three times to the left and three times to the right.
After watching for a while, Ma Hehua asked, "What is he doing?"
The two fake Old Man Lis: "……………………"
"Um?"
No one replied to her, and oh dear! Her temper flared up rapidly.
With a sudden tightening of his grip, the fake Li Laotou in his right hand let out a scream, "Ah!" His neck was twisted into a noodle shape.
The old man on the left trembled and hurriedly said, "Oh dear! Master, he has accepted a contract to become a substitute. As long as he dies, a water ghost will be reincarnated."
"You've done so many bad things and you still want to be reincarnated? You wish! How do you get rid of this?" Ma Hehua hadn't forgotten her mother's words of advice.
"Just call a halt."
Standing there for half a day, Ma Hehua: "……………………"
"I've been standing here for ages, and you didn't even warn me? He's already finished walking around, what's with all the yelling? Will yelling now even do any good?"
"It's no use."
Ma Hehua's expression changed, and she furiously unleashed a flurry of Pegasus Meteor Fists at the two ghosts.
Old Li on the right: "???"
Huh? Why are we attacking him too?
"Sigh! It seems he's beyond saving." Ma Hehua sighed, glanced at Ergui, and asked, still unwilling to give up, "Is there any other way?"
As he spoke, he put down the two ghosts, drew a three-meter-long broadsword from his back. The sword not only exuded a sinister chill but also trembled slightly, making people... no... ghosts afraid just by looking at it.
Ergui: "…………………………"
Where did you take this out from?
Do we have a choice? If we don't talk about death, we'll still die. We might as well drag a few brothers down with us!
The water ghosts: "…………………………"
Okay! Thank you!
"It's not that there's no way, it's just that we have to kill the ghost that's looking for his substitute." As soon as the old man on the left said this, the old man on the right looked at him with a look of horror.
Are you out of your mind? The water ghosts who are qualified to find a substitute are not only highly skilled, but also ruthless. They can only eat human flesh, they are not qualified to have a substitute.
“Okay, let’s do it that way!” Ma Hehua nodded readily.
The water ghost on the right looked shocked. "You woman are too reckless! Are you out of your mind?"
Ma Hehua quietly went around to the back of the old locust tree to see if the water ghost was male or female.
As darkness fell and a gentle breeze blew by, Ma Hehua, feeling a bit chilly, rubbed her hands together.
The moon rose above the branches, its cool light, like a thin veil, gently spilling across the desolate road.
The old locust tree's thick branches, illuminated by the moonlight, resembled twisted demonic claws reaching towards the dark sky.
Just then, a thick plume of smoke rose from under the old locust tree. The smoke was not ordinary smoke, but rather had an eerie dark green hue, as if it were miasma rising from the depths of the underworld.
A putrid stench instantly filled the air, making people nauseous.
The smell was like a mountain of rotting flesh, or like the stench of excrement in a toilet.
In the quiet night, the sound of dripping water seemed to echo one after another.
The sound was exceptionally clear and eerie in the deathly silence.
Every drop of water that falls is like a countdown to death, pounding on people's hearts.
Under the moonlight, the shadow of the old locust tree grew even darker, as if it were about to swallow everything up.
Amidst the swirling smoke, one could vaguely see some blurry figures swaying about, like wandering ghosts or ferocious demons.
A gentle breeze blew by, rustling the leaves, a sound like the lament of a wronged soul.
The chilling dripping sound evoked endless fear and resistance in people's hearts.
From time to time, rustling sounds came from the surrounding grass, as if something was lurking there.
The rising smoke and putrid smell seemed to be a warning to the unknown creatures.
Ma Hehua felt she couldn't take it anymore!
"Ugh~" This stinks even worse than her poop.
"Who?" A gloomy, hoarse voice sounded unsettling.
"It is the Fairy Horse." I'm not going to hide anymore. This thing is covered in green fur and it's disgusting. I might as well just kill it.
As he spoke, he drew his broadsword, jumped up, and slashed.
