From Jiu Shu's world

"Oh, what did you say?"

The old man settled down, looking straight at Henry Zhang.

Henry Zhang’s expression remained unchanged, and he said: “Before I came to see Taohua, I heard people say that Xiaotaoshan is not clean, I don’t know if this is true?”

After listening to Henry Zhang’s words, the old man pointedly said: “Not clean? Maybe, otherwise why have so many people been fascinated?”

He sighed as he spoke, and said, "Little offspring, don't be curious, as long as you don't rush around at night, you'll be fine."

As he spoke, his tone gradually became a little stiff, as if he was giving a warning.

But after saying this, his tone softened a lot, and said: "Okay, it's getting dark soon, I should go too, you two, take a good rest, tomorrow's business will be booming and prosperous."

The old man was about to walk out of the room, but at this time Henry Zhang said: "Old man, wait!"

A sudden wait made the old man's body stiff, he turned his head, his face was slightly displeased, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

Henry Zhang suddenly smiled and said: "After chatting for so long, I still don't know what the old man is called?"

Hearing this, the old man's expression softened, he thought for a while and sighed, and replied, "My name? I can't remember it, my surname is Jia, so you can call me the old man."

After he said that, he walked out of the door, and when he passed the threshold, he raised his heels slightly, and Henry Zhang saw a red and white color in his eyes, which looked like a red rope, and his eyes could not help but shiver slightly.

Old man Jia went out and closed the door, leaving only Henry Zhang and Huang Fu in the room.

Henry Zhang took out a few exorcism talismans and handed them to Huang Fu, and then said, "Brother Huang, you keep one, and the other ones are pasted on the windows and door panels."

Huang Fu took the exorcism talisman, his face changed slightly, and then he remembered Henry Zhang's original intention of bringing him here.I couldn't help being a little nervous, and asked: "Zhang... Mr. Zhang, I see that this village is quite normal. It doesn't look like there are dirty things. If there are, how can they not be afraid at all?"

Henry Zhang smiled coldly and said, "Normal? Have you ever seen tens of hundreds of people in the village with normal expressions, children who don't cry, laugh or make trouble, just like puppets?"

Henry Zhang’s words aroused Huang Fu’s memories, and the eyes of those villagers just now seemed to have some problems, which made his back slightly hairy.

"More than that, did you see the red rope on the old man's feet just now?"

"Red string?"

Huang Fu was a little puzzled, and asked, "It's not common for men to wear red strings, but we also have them."

Henry Zhang said: "What about the red rope as big as a finger?"

"This......"

Henry Zhangdao: "That's not called a red rope, it's called a soul-binding rope, and it's also called a soul-locking rope. The red rope is dyed with the blood of animals, and when weaving it, a strand of dead hair is mixed in, and a strand of it is hanged Extraordinary rope lines. Although this thing is not common, but the effect is very tight, it is a magic weapon that can hold the soul in the body."

"Soul....soul"

Huang Fu's face suddenly turned pale, and he said, "You say that old man is... a ghost?"

Henry Zhang shook his head at this meeting, and said: "I don't know, but there must be something attached to this old man, but I don't know what it is, and what it's selling."

Henry Zhang looked at the old man, and he saw something was wrong at a glance, the breath was weird, and there was something else mixed in the breath of a stranger, which was obviously a problem.

But Henry Zhang didn't know his details, nor what happened in this village, so it was really difficult to do it.Moreover, the old man's attitude is very weird, and he seems to have seen that Henry Zhang is not simple, but it has something to do with Henry Zhang's words, and it is mysterious to play a riddle.

Henry Zhang is not in a hurry, since the old man delivered it to his door, let’s see what good things will happen tonight.

Chapter 2 Night Singing Opera

After the old man surnamed Jia left, he never came back, and he couldn’t even hear the slightest sound from the kitchen. Henry Zhang and Huang Fu didn’t go out, and put some spells on the doors and windows just in case. Is sitting silently in the room.

When the two came out this time, the dry food was ready, so there was no need to worry about the dinner. After eating, the sun had already set, and night began to fall in this small village. Henry Zhang opened a gap in the window slightly, facing the outside At first glance, the village that has just entered the night is silent, immersed in the night.

Looking at these houses in the night, Henry Zhang suddenly felt familiar. Isn’t this the place he saw in the vision of the crazy old man?

Henry Zhang frowned slightly, and the weirdness of the village really made him a little puzzled. It is strange to say that it is strange. All the villagers in the huge village are not normal, and their expressions are indifferent, and there is a strange look in their eyes.

But it's normal, it's really normal, the ghost stag beetle reported that these villagers didn't have any other weird behaviors, every household cooked their own meals, did some housework, and didn't see any other weird behaviors.

"Master Zhang, what's the matter?"

Seeing Henry Zhang looking outside the window, Huang Fu couldn't help asking nervously.

Henry Zhang shook his head and said: "It's nothing, Brother Huang, you can take the talisman I gave you tonight, just stay in this room and don't run around, don't panic no matter what you hear, understand?"

Henry Zhang has already checked the room, and there is no problem, and he left Huang Fu with spells such as exorcism talisman and golden bell talisman to protect himself, and secretly put a ghost stag beetle, which is enough to ensure the safety of Huang Fu.

Huang Fu also nodded quickly, Henry Zhang had already told him how to use it when he gave him the talisman, and he himself knew that Henry Zhang came here for a reason, so he didn’t think much about it.

Unknowingly, it was late at night, and the wick of the oil lamp in the room was shaking, one light and one dark, Henry Zhang didn’t sleep, but sat at the table with his eyes closed and rested, Huang Fu beside him couldn’t help falling asleep past.

Suddenly, there was a sound outside the window, and the sound seemed to come from a distance.Hearing this voice, Henry Zhang opened his eyes, and his heart finally came.

He listened carefully, and found that the voice was up and down, with a clear rhythm between babbling and babbling, as if it was singing an opera, but the faint voice sounded really scary at night.

Huang Fu on the side was also awakened by fright at this time. The voice seemed to be even more frightening in the dream. Huang Fu woke up with a pale face, and saw Henry Zhang sitting still, thinking about talking to him.

Suddenly, he noticed that there was still the sound of opera singing in his ears, he panicked, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, is this sound?"

Henry Zhangdao: "Don't worry about it, I'll go out and have a look, as long as you are in this room, you don't have to worry about taking the talisman."

Huang Fu nodded, and couldn't help but tighten the yellow talisman in his hand.

Henry Zhang ordered Huang Fu, but he opened the door and went out. Huang Fu followed closely, closed the door, and pasted another yellow talisman on the door.

As soon as Henry Zhang went out, he saw that the door of the old man Jia’s room was closed, but the door of the soil embryo room was open.

Henry Zhang walked outside, looking for the sound of singing, and walked over, in fact, even if Henry Zhang didn’t follow the sound.I also guessed in my heart that it was probably coming from the stage in the center of the village.

He turned left and right among these houses without turning on the lights. He walked for about 200 meters and turned a corner.

This stage is now brightly lit, and the open space below the stage is now filled with Eight Immortals tables and horizontal chairs. There are many seats, but they are empty. Except for a black shadow sitting in the front row, there is no other audience. .

Henry Zhang looked dignified, his eyes fixed on this black shadow.

Different from the old man Jia in the daytime, this black shadow's aura is very pure, lingering in black air, it is by no means a stranger.

But Henry Zhang just appeared, and the black shadow did make a sound, and he said: "Hey, didn't the young man tell you not to come out at night? Why are you so disobedient."

Henry Zhang looked at his back, and said coldly: "There are evildoers making troubles, so I have to come."

Hei Ying sneered coldly, and said, "Monsters? They are indeed monsters, but they deserve it."

"Whether you deserve it or not, I don't know, but if you want to harm someone, you must be prepared to be arrested."

"Hahaha, ready? It's been done a long time ago. This big show has been prepared for you for a long time."

As soon as the black shadow's voice fell, the looming opera singing stopped suddenly.
