The years of reselling the haunted house

All I saw was that I was lying on a bed, and the sunlight from outside the window came in, which was a bit dazzling.It seemed that it was already dawn, and I should have been in a coma all night... To be precise, it should have been a few hours.

I tried to move, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with my body, but my limbs felt sore and weak, as if I had suffered a serious illness.

I turned my head and looked, and found that I was lying in a room, which should be one of those thatched huts. There was a strong smell of medicine in the room.

"Are you awake? Don't lie down when you wake up. Get up, you're fine..."

A voice came from the outer room. The voice was very clear and soft, like spring water.

Who is this man?I only remember that after being sprayed by the old lady, I fell into a coma.It looks like I was saved by this person?

In this valley, besides that mysterious old lady, is there anyone else?

I tried my best to get up from the bed. Indeed, apart from the weakness of my limbs, there was nothing serious about the rest of my body.

I walked from the house to the outer room, and found that the outer room was the one with the stove.

It seems that there are three rooms in total, one is the outhouse, on both sides of the outhouse, and the other is the room with a bed, the room where I just lay down.The other room is the old lady who smokes and sprays grass, which is the room where my accident happened.

The fire was still burning on the stove, and there was an iron pot on it, and the cooking in the iron pot was still going on.

But I didn't expect that the person squatting in front of the iron pot and lighting the fire was the old woman I saw last night.

I looked around, and besides her and me, there was no third person in the room.

"What are you looking for?"

Seeing my actions, the old lady asked curiously.

"Ah..." This time I clearly saw that clear voice came out again when the old lady opened her mouth to speak.

That young and pleasant voice actually came from the mouth of this old lady.

It's like two very different things that you've forced together.To use a more fashionable word at the moment, it is full of a sense of disobedience.

The combination of the old lady and her voice, together with her court lady's attire, is very inconsistent.

The old lady glanced at me: "What? Curious?"

I nodded blankly, feeling a lot more relaxed. If this old lady saved me, then she probably didn't intend to harm me.

The old lady stared at me, and took out a half incense stick from her body, and I saw that it was the reed incense.Relying on this incense, I entered this valley and successfully hid in the old lady's room.

The old lady pinched an incense stick and said, "You broke into my Happy Valley, and it is said that you can't get out alive. Have you seen those straw men in this valley?"

Only then did I know that the valley where the old lady is located is called Xiaoyao Valley, which is a very elegant name, but the tone of the old lady's tone reveals a hint of evil charm from inside to outside.

Originally, when an old woman talks to you, even if she says something cruel, it won't make you feel scared.But this old lady is different. Although her tone of voice is not high-pitched, it makes you feel chills when you hear it.This is completely an instinctive reaction of his own, which means that the old lady's words made him feel scared.

When the old lady asked about those straw people, I didn't know how to answer, so I just nodded.

The old lady talked to herself, asked and answered: "Every time a living person enters this valley, he will die. So every time a person dies, I will make a straw man..."

Saying that, the old lady squinted at me.

It was this look that gave me a chill in my heart, and I dared not look her directly in the eyes.

Because I realized a problem, last night I saw the old lady tie a straw man, if according to what she said, as long as a living person enters Xiaoyao Valley, they will all die.And every time a person dies, she will tie a straw man.Does this mean that before she tied up the straw man, someone died in this valley just now.

And as far as I know, the only one who enters the Happy Valley is the third uncle.

Could it be that the third uncle has...

I didn't dare to continue thinking about it anymore, my mind went blank.

Chapter 1269

But the old lady didn't realize my reaction, she still stared at me and said, "Now there are 88 straw people in my Happy Valley. I should have counted you as one, it should be 89..."

I didn't care about thinking about what the old lady said, and I didn't even think about myself. I was just worried about my third uncle. Before the old lady finished speaking, I hurriedly asked: "Grandma, can you tell me who the eight people in No.80 are?" ?”

The old lady narrowed her eyes and said, "You want to know? Unfortunately, I don't know who he is. Here at Laoshen's place, I don't ask where he came from, only the way back. But that man is wearing a shroud just like you."

"You..." I was anxious when I heard it, and I was wearing a shroud like me, so it wasn't who the third uncle was, so the third uncle had already died.

My eyes were suddenly filled with a layer of tears, and I tried not to shed them. I couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation, pointing at the old lady and shouting: "You old witch, do you know that you killed someone on purpose? This is a mountainous area." , it's not your own place, so why not let outsiders in. You...you pay for my third uncle's life..."

I was so angry that I rushed over to the old lady.I know that in Taoism, many things are unpredictable, and there are many things that may have a chance.The third uncle entered Xiaoyao Valley and died. If the old lady really did it, she must have some means to deal with the third uncle.If it is a method in the Taoist sect, then I will subdue her as soon as possible and force her to save the third uncle, maybe the third uncle still has a chance.

But the old lady didn't panic when she saw that I was aggressive.And I didn't live up to it, and just rushed forward two steps, my knees gave way, and I fell to the ground with a thud.

I barely got up from the ground, my body was crumbling, not to mention how embarrassing it was.

The old lady glanced at me, sighed and said: "You were sprayed with soul-washing smoke by me. It is not easy to survive. I advise you not to use too much strength recently, otherwise I will not be responsible for anything else. .”

Soul cleansing smoke?It turned out that the cigarette that the old lady smoked last night was called Soul Cleansing Smoke.I was indeed sprayed by her and lost consciousness.It seems that this old lady does have some knowledge.

But I couldn't ignore my third uncle, which made me stand on the spot, in a dilemma.

"What did you do to my third uncle? Where is my third uncle now?" I could only ask sternly.

The old lady looked at me and said: "Okay, looking at you like this, I really don't understand how the patriarch chose the person. You said that person was your third uncle last night? If that's the case, let's go, you want to see him in old age. I'll take you there."

With that said, the old lady walked out the door directly.

I hurriedly followed her and took two steps, but my weak legs were not strong enough to support my body to move.

The old lady went out, turned around again, and threw me a stick directly.

I took the stick, I don't know why.

The old lady said angrily: "Let's go, do you still let the old man carry you? What a crime...

Only then did I understand that the stick should be used as a crutch for me.

At this time, I didn't dare to provoke the old lady, so I could only lean on a stick and follow her to the door.

The sunlight outside the door is just right, the terrain of this valley is just right, the sun is pouring down evenly, and the crops that are growing well in the valley are lush and full of vitality.

The old lady led me directly past the thatched huts and came to the back of the house.

When we were on the hillside last night, due to the light, we couldn't see the situation behind the house clearly.Now that I turned around, I realized that behind this house there is actually a sparkling blue lake.

The lake is green and small in size. I think if you can have a bird's-eye view, the lake should be like a gem embedded in this valley.I looked at the pool of water, and suddenly found that near the center of the lake, ripples kept appearing circle after circle, and there were many bubbles emerging from the water.

The old lady didn't say anything, and I didn't dare to ask more questions, so I just followed her and walked on.

It has to be said that this piece of land has mountains and water, and it is sunny and fertile, so it is definitely a treasure land of geomantic omen.This old lady occupies this place, she really deserves the name of this valley, she is at ease, like a fairy life.

But I think, she occupied such a precious land, but she committed vicious murderous things, there must be retribution.She is here, and she really missed this good place for nothing.

But the cycle of cause and effect, even if this old woman has retribution, I probably won't see it.

I was thinking wildly in my heart, thinking that I would see my third uncle soon, and I was also panicked.I want to see my third uncle, but I dare not see him.

I was afraid that what I saw was a cold corpse.

If that's the case, even if I risk my life, I will seek justice from this old lady.

However, after such a short period of time, I calmed down, and these impulsive thoughts disappeared from my mind. I also felt that with my third uncle's morality and experience, I should not make such a low-level mistake.It is unlikely that he will encounter accidents as soon as he enters the valley.

The old lady led me to a forest by the lake, pointed into it and said, "The man is inside, you can go in and have a look."

As soon as I heard it, I threw away the crutches in my hand, and staggered into the woods while holding on to the tree.

First, I saw at a glance that in the woods, there was a grave bag at a certain distance.The tombs are stacked on top of each other and are located in the woods.

Closer to me, there is a well-dug hole, which has not yet been filled with soil.

I rushed to the edge of the pit, crouched down and looked down.Sure enough, there was a person lying in the pit, wearing a shroud. My heart was so frightened that I didn't dare to look at that person's face for a while.

But what should come will always come, I took a deep breath and looked at the man's face bravely.

In the end, I found out that the man was not Third Uncle, but a strange face.

Moreover, this person's face was livid, without any luster, and the skin on his face was even festered.Experience tells me that this person must have been dead for some time, definitely not just last night.

Anyway, I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I found out that this person was not the third uncle. I just relied on a willpower to get here.As soon as my mind is relaxed now, I immediately feel that the strength in my body has been removed, and I sat on the ground as soon as my body softened.

The old lady, who was wearing a strange costume of a court lady of the Qing Dynasty, walked in gracefully and asked, "Is he your third uncle?"

I shook my head and said, "He...he doesn't look like he died last night."

The old lady said: "Why didn't he die last night, or he died last night."

Chapter 1270 Baisheli

I smiled wryly and said, "Mother-in-law, this man seems to have been dead for a long time. You can't fool me."

The old lady suddenly came to her senses and said, "Oh, no wonder. The death you talk about and the death I talk about are two different concepts. The death you talk about is the death of the body, but what I talk about is the death of the soul."

I was stunned: "Dead body, dead soul? What does this mean?"

The old lady waved her hand: "Let's go, since this is not your relative, don't stay here. Your body is too old to be here, go back with the old man."

I nodded, found the crutch I had thrown away, leaned on the stick again, and stood up.

At this time, the old lady suddenly folded her hands into a trumpet shape, pointed towards the air, and made a series of strange tones.

As soon as the voice came out, an echoing sound came from a distance.

Soon, there was a sound of stray footsteps coming from a distance.

It was a group of civet cats that came running. The eyes of those civet cats were a little straight, and they rushed into the woods like a whirlwind.

The old lady pointed to the unfilled pit, and the group of civet cats swarmed up, turned around, and started digging the soil with their hind legs.

This scene is really spectacular, dozens of civet cats are filling the pit together.

For a while, the dust was flying, although the pit was not small, but with the joint efforts of these civet cats, the pit was not only filled up in a short period of time, but a grave was also raised.

I finally understood why I couldn't summon these civet cats with the fire raccoon tail last night.What the third uncle said is actually true, that is, the civet cats and the cats and raccoons in the Immortal Valley of Xiaozhou Mountain belong to the same family, that is to say, my fire raccoon tail can still summon these civet cats.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain that the two little civet cats were recruited.The reason why these big civet cats were not recruited was because they were artificially controlled by the old lady.

As for the two little civet cats, it may be because they are too small, or because they are useless to control, they survived.

After the civet cats finished building a grave, the old lady waved her hand, and the civet cats scattered as if they had been pardoned.

Afterwards, the old lady took me back to those thatched cottages.When I walked back, I was exhausted and out of breath. I didn't expect that the old lady's so-called cleansing smoke would be so powerful.

But after learning that the old lady didn't harm the third uncle or kill other people, I don't think she is so vicious.Judging from her gestures and mannerisms, it seems that she is not as evil as I thought.

It's just that she still has many unsolved mysteries for me.

So I sat on the bed and the old lady sat on the bamboo chair next to me and stared at me.

I was a little scared by her, so I quickly asked: "Grandma, what's your name?"

The old woman said lightly: "You can call me Granny Yan."

Smokey mother-in-law?I think this name should come from her special tobacco rod.

"Grandma Yan, you..." I wanted to ask her, since the person who died last night was not Third Uncle, did she see Third Uncle enter this valley?In addition, what did she say about the death of the body and the death of the soul?

But before I finished asking, Granny Yan waved her hand, pointed at me and asked, "Don't ask me first, tell me first, what's the matter with you?"

I was confused and asked: "Me? I... What's wrong with me? What do you mean, mother-in-law?"

"Still pretending to be confused with the old man, don't think I can't see it, I'm asking you, who are you? What happened to the relic? Who gave it to you?"

"Relic? Relic..." I suddenly understood what Granny Yan was referring to. It turned out to be the bone relic between my eyebrows.

When Taoist Shimen passed it on to me, he said that the relic would attract the attention of unclean things and ascetics.Generally, things and practitioners with Taoism will easily see the fact that I am carrying a relic.

This Granny Yan is not a ghost, but a cultivator. It seems that she should have seen the fact that there is a bone relic in my brow.

I also suddenly realized that the old woman said that as long as a stranger enters Xiaoyao Valley, he will surely die, and I was indeed fainted by her puff of cigarette yesterday.She said that she was sprayed with cleansing smoke, and it was impossible for a god to save her.Since she saved me, it must be because she saw that I have relics on my body.

Then what kind of attitude she has towards this relic is very important.

If she wants to take it, then I will still be very dangerous.Because this kind of relic has already grown in the center of my eyebrows, unless it is a descendant of Taoist Shimen, that guy named Lingxuzi can take it out.If other inhumans and cultivators want to snatch it, they have to break my eyebrows, then it's hard to say whether I can still live.

Although I haven't figured out the motives of this Granny Yan, but since people have seen the relic between my eyebrows, I don't need to hide it.

So I just hesitated for a moment, and replied truthfully: "Oh, this relic was given to me by an old senior."

Granny Yan was stunned: "Old senior? How did he send you off, and who are you? Can you tell me about it?"

It can be seen that Granny Yan is indeed very interested in this relic.

I nodded and continued: "Grandma Yan, this is a long story, so let me tell you briefly. My name is Li Yang, and this relic was given to me by a senior named Daoist Shimen, oh no ...To be precise, it was not given to me, but was put here temporarily. He asked me to find a senior named Lingxuzi, who was a disciple of the Taoist master Shimen. If I find Lingxuzi, This thing can be returned to its original owner.”

After I finished speaking, Grandma Yan was stunned, and suddenly stood up from her seat, and bowed to me respectfully.
