Hundred Ghosts

Chapter 15

His eyes glowed like a cat's in the dark, and his little finger was missing from his left hand.

It turned out to be a ghost...

Lin Zi smiled wryly in his heart, the so-called being a minion for the tiger, the ghosts have come, will the tiger be far behind?

Different from the ghosts who are killed and come back to avenge themselves, the soul of the person eaten by the tiger becomes a ghost and becomes the accomplice of the tiger to eat people. It often appears in the middle of the night. Men have no little fingers on their left hands, and women have no little fingers on their right hands. There will be light in the dark.

"Ah, why did you rest here, Young Master?" the ghost walked up to him and asked with a surprised expression on his face.

During this cold winter, he was dressed alone and appeared here alone, which was much weirder than Lin Zi.

"I'm a hunter in this mountain, why don't you come to my house for a while?" The ghost tried to persuade him again.

Lin Zi naturally didn't want to, if he left with him, he would die!

Not only is he dead, even the corpse is gone, and the soul will still be like him.

He Huai, who came back with a large bundle of firewood, saw that the ghost was pulling Lin Zi's sleeve as if he wanted to drag him away, but Lin Zi was holding Xiaocai with one hand and tugging at him with the other. Throwing it on the ground, he shouted coldly, "What are you doing?"

After seeing He Huai, the ghost suddenly became terrified, let go and left in a hurry.

Lin Zi stood up holding Xiaocai, and said worriedly, "The ghost is here, and the tiger is not far away. It must be trying to lure the tiger. We unarmed, how can we beat the tiger? Let's get in the car and run for our lives first." Bar."

He Huai asked him to sit down, picked up branches to add to the fire, "It's okay, it's just a tiger, it can really hurt us, but I brought the sword, it came just right, I think the tiger skin mat is pretty good .”

It was only then that Lin Zi remembered that He Huai was known as the God of War, he could take the head of a thousand horses, a tiger...maybe he could really beat it.

"Hey, why is this kid sleeping like a pig?" He Huai sat down next to him, reached out and pinched Xiaocai's face, even though he still didn't wake up.

"Children are prone to sleepiness. What's the use of him waking up? Could it be that he can help you fight tigers?"

"It's not enough to beat a tiger, but it's still possible to piss a boy to help you drive away ghosts."

"..."

The two of them had fun teasing each other, and soon the roar of the tiger was getting closer and closer, which seemed to shake the mountains and forests.

The ghosts came first, pointed at them and said, "Your Majesty, it's them!"

The roar of the tiger echoed, and a giant tiger slowly came out from the forest. If he hadn't met it in this situation, Lin Zi would definitely praise this tiger for its majesty. The tiger is full of viciousness, and it gives goosebumps just looking at it.

He Huai took out a small firewood with sparks from the fire and threw it at the tiger, then ran straight into the depths of the forest.

Lin Zi anxiously shouted, "General!"

If you were afraid, you could just run away, now you can run away... No matter how fast a person can run, he can't run away from a tiger!

Huo Huo burned the tiger's flesh, it howled and chased He Huai angrily.

Lin Zi became even more anxious, "The general is back!"

Beasts are generally afraid of fire, at least they can live longer if they have a fire, he... he hasn't brought his sword yet!

Lin Zi stared at the sword he let him hold in his hand, his eyes darkened.

Is it too late to send it over now?

The ghost seemed more anxious than himself, and ran behind the tiger, pointing his hand towards Lin Zi, "Tiger! Don't chase that one, eat this one first!"

Lin Zi: "..."

The tiger would not listen to him, he ran away early and disappeared.

He had no choice but to run back angrily, walking towards Lin Zi with a gloomy expression.

Lin Zi snorted coldly, if he couldn't beat a tiger, as a Taoist priest, he couldn't beat a ghost?

After a while, the ghost who was knocked down by the talisman glared at Lin Zi angrily, and then chased after the tiger.

Lin Zi hurriedly shook Xiao Cai awake, dragged Xiao Cai who was still dizzy and chased after him.

The tiger howled behind him, He Huai estimated that he was already far away from Lin Zi and stopped.

Tap your toes slightly to the ground.

A locust tree sapling broke through the ground where the toes pointed. The sapling quickly grew into a tree, reaching a height of more than ten meters, and several people could not circle it around.

The tiger was like a kitten in front of the locust tree, so that it had to stop under the tree and impatiently swept the trunk with its tail. He Huai on the tree raised the corners of his lips and smiled coldly.

The thick locust tree roots broke through the ground, strangled the tiger's neck and pressed it to the ground. The tiger couldn't scream, and its claws rested on the tree roots trying to tear the roots apart, but the tree roots tightened and tightened until the tips of its claws were dripping with blood. Pull away the roots.

Soon, it struggled less and less, and finally fell to the ground with a "boom".

The roots of the tree were slowly retracted, and He Huai jumped down from the tree. The locust tree fell to the ground with a bang, overwhelming a piece of other tree trunks. The moment the trunk fell to the ground, it decayed and degraded and disappeared.

"Tiger!" The ghost who finally caught up threw himself on the tiger's body and cried bitterly, staring at He Huai resentfully.

"As long as it eats one more person, I can leave, you..."

"You can just reincarnate, it will still control you." He Huai walked over and walked back holding the tiger by the back of the neck.

Then seeing Lin Zi, who was dragging Xiao Cai out of breath, his expression froze.

"Well... I was on the wrong track just now, and I only found it when I heard the sound of falling to the ground... The general is so powerful that he can kill a tiger with his bare hands." He clenched his hands tightly.

Xiaocai looked at He Huai with adoring eyes, "The general is great!"

"It's all trivial. I'm a general. It's nothing to kill a tiger with bare hands, right?" He Huai boasted.

Lin Zi nodded in agreement.

The tiger's head drooped unbelievably, the tiger's claws were dripping with blood, and there were no wounds on the face or body. It was not beaten to death, it was clearly strangled to death.

What happened to that huge locust tree...?

"In this winter, it will take several hours to get light. A fire is not enough. Tigers usually live in caves. Let's take our horses and go to their caves to rest...wait a while."

He Huai looked at the sky, the sky was gray, without stars and moon.

After walking to the place where the tiger had been strangled, he groped for a while, and asked Lin Zi to take out his sword, and digging on the ground, unexpectedly found a piece of topaz shaped like amber.

"It's Tiger's Might!" Lin Zi exclaimed after taking the jade.

When a tiger dies, its head is on the ground and its eyes are drawn down. When there is no moon in the night, digging at a depth of two feet can dig out the "tiger power" formed by the tiger's gaze.Obtaining "Tiger Might" will terrify all animals and ward off evil spirits.

"Give it to you, let's go."

Lin Zi thought for a while, but put away his power, "Thank you, General."

"You're welcome."

The two of them walked in front, and the ghost followed far behind.

It was too strenuous to walk with such a tiger. He Huai directly peeled off the tiger's skin and threw it on the carriage. The horse, which was frightened by the smell of the tiger, trembled and refused to leave no matter how hard he pulled it.He Huai had no choice but to throw the tiger skin away regrettably, the ghost walked over and hugged the tiger skin tightly, his eyes suddenly fixed on Lin Zi.

"I advise you not to get distracted." He Huai said coldly.

A ghost needs a tiger to eat a person before reincarnation. If the tiger dies halfway, it will take the skin of the tiger that ate it and put it on the person by surprise.

The person who puts on the tiger skin will turn into a tiger, and will be instructed by ghosts instead.

This guy was uneasy and kind, and it would be better to burn the tiger skin before he left... He Huai rubbed his chin and thought.

"Where is the tiger's hole? Lead the way."

The ghost held the tiger skin and stared at them for a long time, then walked towards the direction the tiger came from.

On the way, "Actually, I still don't quite understand a ghost like you. You died at its mouth, why do you want to help it eat people?"

The ghost walked far ahead, and after a long time, he shook his head, "I don't know either."

They walked all the way to collect firewood, took two sticks of incense time, and finally came to the tiger's cave, piled up the firewood and lit it, and everything in the cave could be seen clearly.

There is a bookcase in the corner for scholars to carry on their backs. It has been somewhat damaged. A few books have been torn to pieces. It looks like it was made by tiger claws. There is a pile of scattered bones next to the bookcase. The ghost walked to the bones. Squatting on the ground, it is obvious that the bone is him.

After Lin Zi and Xiaocai were settled, He Huai couldn't help asking the ghost, "It seems that you were a scholar in your lifetime, when did you die?"

"At the beginning of spring," he smiled wryly, "I heard from the people around that there were tigers here, and because I was in a hurry, I decided to take a risky walk. I passed by here in the middle of the night. I saw a cave in front of me and went in to rest. It's..."

"That tiger is quite happy..." He Huai pursed his lips, "It's different for us, we broke in with iron heads, and were half frozen to death."

"Early spring? Are you in a hurry to take the spring test?"

"At the invitation of a friend, I went there specially. I don't know how he is now."

"You are dead, so what if you go?" He Huai hit him, "Even if you can take the exam, you may not pass it."

"You are right, but after studying hard for so many years, I have to give it a try..." He looked out of the cave lonely, "At this time last year, my friend wrote to me, asking me to take the imperial examination with him. If he doesn't come, he won't go, now that I'm in this state, how can I see him."

He Huai thought for a while, "Well, I'm going back to the capital too, so tell me your friend's name, how about I go see him and give you a message?"

Surprised and delighted, the ghost came forward with the tiger skin in his arms, "Come here, I'll tell you what his name is..."

He suddenly put the tiger skin on He Huai's head, Lin Zi screamed, and slapped the talisman in his hand on the ghost, He Huai dodged, grabbed the tiger skin with both hands and threw it into the fire.

An unpleasant smell of burnt flesh came oncoming, and the ghost screamed and disappeared.

I wanted to burn the tiger skin before I left, but I didn't expect to promise him so long ago, and form a ghost relationship. If I don't finish it, I'm afraid I will have a hard time, but...he hasn't said the name yet!

Really hurt myself!

"Although he is already a ghost, it is really sad that a scholar has such a vicious heart." He Huai said coldly.

"It's good that the general is fine." Lin Zi sighed, ghosts and monsters are not good, so it's better not to be human in the future.
