When Song Laosan heard my analysis that the two people had most likely stumbled into the Night Banquet of a Hundred Ghosts, his face turned extremely grim: "Xiao Duan, you can't jump to conclusions about being possessed by evil spirits. As far as I know, being trapped in the Night Banquet of a Hundred Ghosts is a matter of life and death!"
"The Night Feast of a Hundred Ghosts ranks fourth among the Seven Evil Sects, and only men can be affected by it! Once the vital energy of a person possessed by evil spirits is exhausted, they will surely die."
I squatted down and said, "In short, the Night Banquet of a Hundred Ghosts pulls people into an environment. No one can explain the principle behind it. Moreover, the biggest feature of the Night Banquet of a Hundred Ghosts is that it shortens the time. If someone in the tomb raiding gang gets lost, only a few tens of minutes later, when they find their companion, the person is already dead! According to the accounts of a few people who were rescued, the oldest among them has lived in the environment for decades."
Last night, when we went to sleep, I specifically checked the time. Only five minutes have passed since we fell asleep—that's impossible! It's based on this evidence that I suspect we encountered a banquet of a hundred ghosts.
Song Laosan took a deep breath: "Is there any way to break this?"
"Eat the five grains to ward off evil and lust!"
I recalled the contents of the Judge's Record and said, "Grains absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and replenish the essence of the human body. What we call yang energy is replenished through grains! Although there are many ways for ghosts and monsters to absorb spiritual energy, the most thorough and fastest way is through lust and evil. Therefore, experienced tomb raiders, after being trapped by the Night Banquet of a Hundred Ghosts, will eat grains and urinate on their bodies. It is said that ghosts are spiritual beings and are most afraid of human filth. As long as the yang energy is sufficient, they can cut a path by using a peach wood sword."
Of course, some have offered another explanation, suggesting that the "Hundred Ghosts Night Banquet" is some kind of magnetic field or hallucination, and that certain components in urine and peach wood can alleviate poisoning symptoms. The existence of ghosts and monsters has been a subject of much debate since ancient times, and no one can definitively conclude anything about this supernatural phenomenon.
Song Laosan was in a dilemma: "But all our belongings are gone! Without equipment, we can't break this deadlock!"
"We have no choice but to force our way through!"
I took a deep breath: "Uncle has agreed to let us leave. We can use this as an excuse to run away, but I don't know if we can really run away or if we are already trapped in the illusion."
After hearing what I said, Song Laosan stood up from the table and started loosening his belt: "We can't worry about that now. The longer we delay, the greater the risk. Let's do it!"
Many villagers were stunned when they saw Song Laosan take off his pants. The eldest uncle even said, "Young man, it's a good thing that you agreed to borrow sperm, but you can't undress in front of everyone. It's indecent!"
"I'll hurt your grandpa!"
Song Laosan cursed angrily, and then began to urinate on the dinner table, catching the urine with his hands and wiping it all over his body.
Upon seeing Song Laosan's actions, Liu Guang's face immediately contorted with rage: "You filthy wretch! We kindly took you in, and you're causing trouble during the festival! What are you up to? Seize him!"
Upon hearing the shout, the villagers nearby all rushed over.
Seeing the villagers gathering around me, I didn't care about getting dirty anymore. I saw some of Song Laosan's urine in a stone bowl next to me, grabbed it, and splashed it at them.
"Whoosh!"
When those people saw my movements, they scattered immediately, but then surrounded me again.
Seeing their dodging movements, I became even more certain that these people were definitely suspicious. When normal people get into a fight, they'd charge at a knife if they got carried away, so how could they be afraid of urine?
Thinking of this, I took off my pants, ripped off my coat, and started urinating.
At this moment, the villagers rushed towards us. When I saw the other person getting closer, I wrapped my urine-soaked clothes around my arm and threw them at his face.
Faced with my attack, the villagers who rushed up screamed and fell backward to the ground.
Seeing me make a move, Song Laosan also grabbed the stone bowl next to him and smashed it down on Liu Guang's head as he rushed forward.
"Thump!"
With a muffled thud, the stone bowl shattered, but Liu Guang didn't even show any expression. He rushed forward and tackled Song Laosan to the ground.
When I saw this, I took off the clothes I was holding, grabbed Liu Guang by the neck from behind, and roughly pulled him off Song Laosan.
Seeing more and more villagers gathering around, I pulled Song Laosan up from the ground and dragged him towards the other side of the village: "Let's go!"
Old Song ran after me, panting and shouting, "We haven't gotten the flashlight and supplies yet!"
Hearing the rapid footsteps behind me, I yelled at the top of my lungs, "It's too late! If this really is a banquet of a hundred ghosts, who knows what kind of monsters we ate earlier were! Let's shake them off first!"
Old Song San, standing beside me with a worried expression, replied, "Even if we can escape the village now, we can't get back to where we were rescued. Without a rope, we can't get down that cliff at all!"
"Let's get out of the village first. Haunted places are usually in certain areas; the evil spirits can't leave the grave or the physical body too far away. We'll figure out the rest later!"
My goal is clear: to escape this village, or at least get back to the cliff where we were rescued.
The village wasn't very big, and since I had been keeping an eye on the terrain after I was rescued, I quickly made my way into the village.
But upon seeing the scene ahead, he froze on the spot.
When we were rescued yesterday, this side of the village was clearly a main road, but when we came here again today, the road was gone, replaced by a cliff with no top in sight.
"Damn it! There's definitely something wrong with this village!"
Looking at the cliff in front of him, Song Laosan asked breathlessly, "Xiao Duan, do you think this cliff might be an illusion?"
"I've raided so many tombs, and this is the first time I've encountered something like this. Evil spirits are generally divided into two types: spirits that are ghosts and flesh-based monsters. The Hundred Ghosts Night Banquet is what is commonly known as haunting. These things probably use illusions to deceive us, so this cliff might be an illusion!"
While answering Song Laosan's question, I had already run to the front of the cliff and reached out to touch it.
It's so cold!
hard!
"Bang!"
Song Laosan kicked the cliff, but was bounced back a step: "Damn it, we're trapped!"
As Song Laosan spoke, he glanced at his watch again, his expression becoming even more terrified: "Xiao Duan, something's wrong! Look at the time, it's still 3:35. That means we've been messing around for so long, but the time hasn't moved at all!"
"We must have been misled by evil spirits! Close your eyes and calm your mind!"
I turned my head and saw the villagers chasing after us from afar. They grabbed Song Laosan's wrist, sat cross-legged at the foot of the cliff, closed their eyes, and began to loudly recite the Golden Light Mantra: "Heaven and Earth, the profound origin, the root of all Qi. Through countless eons of cultivation, I have attained divine power. Within and beyond the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme. My body is enveloped in golden light. Unseen by sight, unheard by sound..."
"Now that things have come to this, we can only pray to our ancestors for protection!"
When Song Laosan heard me reciting the Golden Light Mantra, he started reciting it too.
