That night, the shaman was invited. After taking the medicine, the fever and inflammation were reduced, but after that, he felt that his body was not as good as before, and he always felt his throat was itchy, and unconsciously he had to cough twice.
They went to the hospital to check and nothing happened. The doctor said that it might be that they had a severe cold before, and now, he still has a cold.
Bai Ci nodded and said: “The root cause of this disease is not pathological. You must have choked on a lot of water after falling into the river. Those things entered your body at that time.”
“The shaman you invited has real skills. She burned most of the corpse’s breath with a healing spell, but there are still some inside your body that hasn’t been cleaned. If it remains, it will be a big hidden danger after all.”
The expressions of the siblings changed: “Corpse breath?”
“Yes, people have been drowned in the river you drowned in, right?”
“Yes……”
Host Liu asked: “Then, does Bai Ci have a solution to this matter?”
Under the expectant eyes of the siblings, Bai Ci said slowly, “I can get rid of the corpse breath in your body, but I can’t do anything else.”
He called Xiao Cheng to his side, put his palm in the air a few millimeters away from Xiao Cheng’s chest, slowly moved to the abdomen, and then upward.
Xiao Cheng didn’t feel much at first, but soon he felt his stomach twitching slightly.
His muscles and organs under Bai Ci’s palm gave the illusion of being scratched.
As his stomach churned, Xiao Cheng’s vomiting became more and more intense, he suddenly pushed away Bai Ci’s hand, covered his mouth and walked quickly to the side of the trash can, and began to vomit profusely.
He didn’t eat much or drink too much water to avoid going to the bathroom during the show, but he kept vomiting some filth that he thought was stinky.
The staff hurriedly brought up water and paper towels, asked him to rinse his mouth, and took the bucket away.
While taking it away, Xiao Xi saw that most of what her younger brother spit out was clear water, but some black threads were floating in it.
She asked anxiously: “How do you feel?”
Xiao Cheng vomited in front of the camera. He felt that it was very sad to be seen by the people of the whole country, but when he spoke, his eyes lit up, and he touched his throat and said:
“Sister, my throat doesn’t itch anymore!”
Thinking of the things he just vomited out, he felt a chill and was afraid, so he hurriedly thanked Bai Ci: “Thank you, Master Bai!”
Bai Ci shook his head silently, and looked at Xiao Cheng again, “Your aura is a bit strange, very weak.”
As a hedgehog immortal, he was born with the ability to heal diseases and make money and was more sensitive to people’s blessings and fortune.
Xiao Cheng’s fortune has not been very good during this period, and it must have been affected by certain ‘things’.
But what makes Bai Ci feel strange was that this kind of bad luck was often not intended to kill people, but the corpse’s breath poured into Xiao Cheng’s body which can indeed kill him, and the two had a conflict.
After saying this, Bai Ci nodded and left the shooting location.
The person who played after him was Xun Yiqing.
Wearing a gray Taoist robe and sword, Xun Yiqing looked in Xiao Cheng’s direction as soon as he stood still.
After looking at him from head to toe, Xun Yiqing frowned:
“You were hooked to life by the ‘Water Ghost’, and it wants you to be a substitute. Did you have an accident by the river not long ago?”
This time, the siblings were completely convinced, nodded, and said: “Yes, the female shaman in our village also said that he was haunted by a water ghost!”
From their mouths, the audience finally knew the general reason.
Two weeks ago, Xiao Xi and Xiao Cheng went back to their hometown.
It was an old village behind the mountain nest. Although it was not easy to get in and out and was a relatively backward place, the scenery was beautiful, and the air was fresh. The most important thing was that there is a particularly clear river in the village.
The siblings lived in the village for a while when they were young, often treading water by the river and digging for loaches, which left many beautiful childhood memories.
After returning to their hometown, they wanted to relax and play in the river to pick up stones.
During this process, Xiao Xi lost her wallet accidentally. She searched all the way and found nothing, even at the shore, there was nothing.
When it was dark, they give up searching and prepare to go home.
Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Xi suddenly saw a familiar wallet floating on the water in the distance.
That was the wallet she lost!
Because it contained her own very important documents and bank cards, it would be very troublesome to replace them after they were lost. Xiao Xi has been very depressed because of this.
When she saw the wallet, she was overjoyed and walked there with water dripping, but when she got closer, she vaguely saw some small bubbles under the wallet, as if there was a puff of air underneath that was dragging the wallet up.
At that time, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Shouldn’t a leather wallet sink to the bottom of the water after it falls into the water? How could it be floating?
She regained her composure and realized that the wallet she looked at near the bank floated a little farther away. To get the wallet, she unknowingly walked to the depths of the river. At this time, the water had already covered her waist.
Xiao Xi then felt a little scared and wanted to go back to the shore, but when she lifted her foot, she found that her leg seemed to be entangled by something, and she couldn’t move it no matter what.
She yelled in shock, and her younger brother, who had been calling her to come back into the shallow water area, rushed over when he saw this.
After swimming down to the creek, Xiao Cheng held his breath and went to the bottom of the water to untie the garbage and aquatic plants wrapped around his sister’s ankles. It didn’t take much effort.
Unexpectedly, just when the two of them were about to go to the shore, Xiao Cheng’s body fell directly into the water. He was caught off guard. The cold river water poured into his lungs and stomach.
Xiao Cheng said: “At that time, I felt that my legs were being pulled back by something. It was so strong that I couldn’t break free at all. I even felt that my body was being pulled dragged into deep water…”
At that time, he was a little suffocated, his nose and lungs were full of water, and he kept splashing water and struggling.
Xiao Xi desperately grabbed his hands and collar and did not dare to let go, while screaming for help which attracted nearby villagers.
In the end, several strong men worked together and went into the water together to pull Xiao Cheng up.
Xiao Cheng said with a pale face: “After I went ashore, I felt very cold. When I pulled up my trouser, I found a pair of blue and purple marks on both ankles, which were scratches from human handprints! Then I had a high fever that night which almost cause pneumonia.”
As he spoke, he lifted the hem of his trousers, and everyone present and the staff saw that there was indeed a light blue mark on his ankle!
It has been two weeks, but it hasn’t disappeared.
At this time, the program group inserted some photos into the live broadcast room, as Host Liu said a reminder: “The photos you can see now are the photos taken by the help-seekers. When the program group saw these photos, they are shocked.”
Everyone saw that the handprints on those photos were extremely clear and much more severe than they looked right now. With those purple bruises under Xiao Cheng’s skin, one can imagine how much strength was used at that time!
Xun Yiqing glanced at the photo and said:
“A water ghost is usually a drowning person who accidentally died in the water, and cannot enter reincarnation. Only by finding a substitute and drowning him can he enter reincarnation. The wallet you saw floating on the water is not normal, it is called the “Water Ghost Scale” in our sect.”
In folk stories, some people will see something floating on the water when walking on the shore, but in fact, this “something” refers to all the objects used by water ghosts to seduce people on the shore.
Xun Yiqing said: “Your wallet appeared on the surface of the water. Because the water ghost chose you as a substitute, and you were led to it. At that time, your brother rushed to save you, but in fact, he destroyed the water ghost’s plan. You took away the substitute, you will naturally be hated.”
“Now, not only the water ghost chose your younger brother as its substitute, but its resentment has also multiplied several times.”
