Chapter 220 Seven Demons The Seven Evils are also called the Seven People in the legends of Kyushu.
It is said that seven people will appear on the street late at night, wearing the same raincoat, wearing bamboo hats and carrying lanterns.
They will be like a blind man. The latter puts his left hand on the shoulder of the person in front, and the former leads the way. The person in the front holds a bamboo stick and feels his way forward.
These seven people represent pride, greed, lust, rage, gluttony, laziness, and jealousy respectively.
They prowl the midnight hours endlessly, looking for the person who has committed one of these crimes, dragging him into their ranks to become one of the Seven.
The previous members can be reincarnated after someone replaces them, while other souls continue to wander the world, looking for the next "replacement".
Maybe even Li Gui himself didn't know that he was a collection of seven evil spirits, not an independent soul.
Now that Li Gui has been eliminated, the Seven Evils have escaped from his body, and without the guidance of their leader, each of them has become the most dangerous existence.
And according to Lan Po, if the Seven Evils cannot be returned before dawn, that is, a quarter past four, then he and Ma Xiaoyu will never be able to return to their physical bodies and become wandering ghosts from then on.
Yin Xiu felt a chill in her back when she thought that she might become Uncle Ming's ghost soldiers and generals just like Chuan Bao.
Although becoming a ghost soldier from all directions is to conquer demons and protect the way, Yin Xiu wants to live first.
What's more, at this moment, behind him, there are all kinds of innocent souls chasing him as far as the eye can see. If he is not careful, he will be wiped out by these evil souls. Where is the chance to wait until Uncle Ming takes action?
"Kuanbao, although we are not very familiar with each other, I am here because of your business. Your spirit in heaven must protect me."
After reciting this sentence silently in his mind, Yin Xiu rubbed oil on his feet and threw the ghost behind him down for a while.
He and Ma Xiaoyu acted separately, and both of them should be followed by a large number of lonely ghosts at the moment, which was extremely dangerous.
"Too young and old, you are as urgent as the law, I give you an order!"
Yin Xiu made several imaginary drawings in the air with her fingers, and several transparent thunder and fire talismans flew out and hit the ghosts. Fireballs rose and screams were heard.
But that only delayed their steps slightly, and soon the ghosts came one after another and followed them.
In the underworld, strangers like Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu are like fireflies in the dark night no matter where they are. No matter how they hide, they cannot avoid those searching eyes.
After walking through a narrow alley and returning to the main street, Yin Xiu was surprised to find that the doorways of the houses that were still burning banknotes were already empty, with only the paint buckets still burning.
"Don't look at it. Those Mi Pos have run away a long time ago. Why don't you hide when such a big thing happens? Do you think your life will be long?"
Lan Po's voice came from above her head again, and Yin Xiu said speechlessly: "Then what should I do now?"
"As I said before, go and find all the Seven Evils. That will be enough. Everyone can go to the village safely."
[That's it... I said it, but I didn't say it. You are so powerful, why do you come here to find me? 】
Yin Xiu cursed for a while, but the situation had become such that no matter what complaints and bitterness he had, he could only swallow them all.
Although he was in a soul state, after running for a long distance, Yin Xiu couldn't help but feel out of breath and heavy on his feet.
"Why are ghosts so inconvenient?"
Yin Xiu sighed and leaned against the wall.
At this time, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a man who looked sallow and thin squatting in front of an altar.
In fact, it was said to be an altar, but it was just a small pile of earth. On the mound, there were a few rice balls.
Each one is about the size of a bowl, filled with pickles and sesame seeds, with candles and incense stuck on top, sort of serving as a base for those incense candles.
And the man was holding a rice ball in one hand and devouring it.
But such a thin person has a big appetite. After eating a few rice balls in front of him, he quickly walked to the side and picked up the orange banana next door. He didn't even peel it, put it in his mouth and bit it, and the juice was dripping. All over the body and the Xiu's mind suddenly suddenly guessed the identity of the other party.
He pretended to be very casual and walked slowly from the side, glancing at the food on the table from time to time.
Such a move indeed caught the man's attention immediately.
The man immediately held all the food in his arms, and hid what he couldn't hold behind his back, staring at Yin Xiu warily.
"It's all mine. Everything you see here that you can eat is mine!"
"I know!" Yin Xiu nodded and smiled, "These are indeed edible, but they are not delicious."
Yin Xiu made a disgusting gesture, shook her head, and said: "These things have no taste, they are just like boiled water. What's so delicious about them?"
Seeing him saying this, the man said very unhappy: "These things are not delicious, so you mean you have eaten delicious things?"
"Of course."
Yin Xiu shook her head, "I even brought out a piece. It's sweet, fragrant and soft."
The man shook his head, "I don't believe it."
When Yin Xiu saw this, she put her hands in her pockets and walked away, "I don't care if you believe it or not, I'm keeping it for myself anyway."
"Hey! Wait!"
The man rushed up and reached out to grab Yin Xiu, "Show me!"
"Okay! Let me show you then!"
Yin Xiu turned around, made a sword gesture with her fingers together, and moved her fingertips with purple energy toward the man's forehead.
The man paused immediately, his whole body began to expand rapidly, his face turned livid, and he turned into a fat man in the blink of an eye.
With a whimper in his mouth, a hole opened in his stomach, and a handful of sticky yellow sand flowed out from it. Mixed with water, it was sticky and slippery, hanging straight to the ground.
The man was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly grabbed the food from the side and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering: "I'm hungry, I'm so hungry..."
Yin Xiu made several empty drawings in the air with his hand, and a talisman was generated out of thin air and embedded in the man's forehead.
"Hungry, so hungry..."
With an indistinct groan, he quickly turned into a vague shadow and dissipated on the spot.
This is Taotie, one of the Seven Evils, also known as Gluttony.
Legend has it that if a person eats without restraint and often overeats, he will be punished by ghosts and gods on rainy nights.
A position among the Seven Evils is reserved for these "dead ghosts".
Watching the ghost dissipate, Yin Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least he has found the first one here. As for the other one, he doesn't know what happened to Ma Xiaoyu.
With her exquisite Ma family exorcism, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a few wandering ghosts.
In contrast, it was more reasonable for Yin Xiu to worry about herself first, after all, those hungry wandering ghosts were chasing after her again.
