The years of reselling the haunted house

The old stall head came to the door again and took out two white flags, and inserted the flagpoles on his belt from behind.I saw a lot of runes printed on the flag, densely packed.Among these runes, there are also printed words, on one side is written "there is a way to the dark", and on the other side is written "bongtian picks bones".

Now the old stall is wearing a red robe, with two white flags on his back. At first glance, he looks like an opera singer on the stage. It looks funny, but I don’t feel happy at all. Instead, I look at him at night. This eye-catching outfit is particularly creepy.

Before the calculation was over, the old stall took two more lanterns from the door frame.The lantern skin is light yellow, it looks very thin, but it is not completely transparent.

The old stall struck a match and lit the candle in the lantern.The candlelight reflected the thin lantern skin, and one could see faint shadows appearing on the lantern skin, like a revolving lantern, shuttling left and right.

Seeing my curiosity, the old stall owner explained: "These are the outfits I picked out the bones. The flag on the back is the Tongming Flag, and the lantern is called the bone-seeking lantern."

I nodded: "This lantern looks good, very pretty."

The old stall head snorted: "Of course it looks good, it's made of human skin."

"Human skin?" I was so scared that I almost threw the lantern away.

There is nothing around this old stall that is not scary.

Chapter 115

Seeing my hopeless appearance, the old stall owner squinted at me and said, "What's so scary about human skin? Your skin follows you day and night, and I haven't seen you be afraid."

I cried and said, "Master Tan, can this be the same?"

The old stall head waved his hand: "Okay, light up the lantern, and set off with me. Whether you can save your companion is also up to fate."

The old stall owner and I walked out of the yard one after the other with the bone-hunting lamp on.

It seems that the fog in the village appeared with the appearance of those cliff-buried souls.Because after we came out, I found that the fog that once filled the entire village had dissipated.

However, due to the gloomy sky, the line of sight is still not very good.

However, I noticed that the room in the old stall was a bit lonely.It is far away from most of the houses in the village, as if it is outside Nanliu Village.

I asked the old stallhead who was walking in front of me, "Master Tan, why isn't your house with theirs?"

The old stall owner sneered: "If it were you, would you be willing to be a neighbor with an old man who picks bones all day long?"

I shook my head, thinking that this is really the case.

The old stall's house was at the end of Nanliu Village. He took me out of Nanliu Village quickly and walked down a mountain road.

I thought of the stone tablet I saw in the mist, and asked the old stall owner, "Master Tan, is your village called Nanliu Village?"

"correct."

"Then... do you know a place called Nanliu Village?"

The old stall was walking in front, and when he heard the name of Nanliu Village, he stopped suddenly.I followed and almost ran into him.

I also stopped in my tracks and asked, "Master Tan, what's the matter?"

The old stall shook his head: "It's nothing. I haven't heard of Nanliu Village. There is only Nanliu Village. Did you hear it wrong?"

As he said that, the old stall owner didn't speak any more, and continued walking with the lantern in his hand.

I stared at the back of the old stall, but I had more questions in my heart.When the name Nanliu Village was mentioned, the old stall's body obviously reacted, which showed that he knew this place.But he then said that he had never heard of Nanliu Village, which was obviously a lie.

The old stall is deliberately avoiding Nanliu Village, what is the reason for this?

Seeing that the old stall was about to go away, I quickly followed.I thought I should settle the matter in front of me. There are already more and more questions about Nanliu Village. With my current situation and my ability, it seems that I can't solve them at all.

We have been walking on a mountain road, and after several turns, we gradually entered the mountain.

I already know that to practice cliff burial, one must first go to the top of the mountain, so I am not surprised to go up the mountain, but I don't know if this mountain is the legendary Mount Fuyang.

After entering the mountain, there are lush vegetation everywhere, and the moonlight is partially covered by the branches and leaves, making the road under our feet even darker.

The bone-hunting lamp we carried was simply better than nothing for lighting. Several times I was tripped because I couldn't see the road under my feet.

I sneaked out a flashlight and lit it for illumination.Unexpectedly, the old stall owner noticed the light of the flashlight, turned around and yelled, "Who told you to use the flashlight? Turn it off for me."

The old stall was frightened, looking like he was going to eat people.

I was so frightened that I quickly put out the flashlight, not understanding why the old stall was so sensitive.

The old stall was not forgiving: "If you don't obey the command and act recklessly, you will kill us both, you know?"

I quickly said: "I'm sorry, I won't do it next time, I'll listen to you."

The old stall head still looked nervous, turned around and pulled me, and first hid in the grass next to him.He motioned for me to cover my head with the red robe I was wearing.

As I said, I covered my head with my robe, squatted in the grass, and only peeked out from the gap I left.

After a while, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the mountain road just now.

The footsteps were heavy, and they stood out in the silent mountain.

The old stall was expressionless, his eyes fixed on the end of the road.

Who is it?Why is the old stall so nervous?

The nervousness of the old stall also infected me. I squatted in the grass and covered my head with a robe, not daring to breathe.

Not long after, as the footsteps approached, a white figure appeared from the end of the mountain road.

The figure moved extremely fast, and after a few steps, it came to the position where I had just turned on the flashlight, and then stopped.

My angle is not very good, I can only see the back of the figure.

The man was not tall, less than 1.5 meters tall, and was wearing a set of snow-white robes, which were dazzlingly bright under the night.

Suddenly, the man raised his head and roared into the sky.The roar was not loud, but it was harsh, and it gave me goosebumps.

At this moment, the old stall head next to me stretched out his hand and pressed me, but he got out of the grass by himself.

I knew what he meant to tell me not to act rashly, so I continued to lurk in the grass.

The old stall head rushed up the mountain road, the man in the white robe suddenly turned around and stared at the old stall head.

The old stall head reached out and grabbed a flag behind his back, shook it vigorously in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Mountains, rocks, water and soil, search for corpses and pick bones. Yin people use the way, and the living have no way out. Follow the gods and practice the law." , others don't hinder..."

The old stallman muttered a long list of words, and the transparent flag in his hand swung back and forth, not daring to stop for a moment.

The man stared at the flag of the old stall for five or six minutes, and finally let out another howl, moved his body, and flew down in the direction he came from.

The old stall's body was piled up like noodles, and he said weakly: "Okay, come out."

I quickly got out of the grass, helped the old stall head up, and asked, "Master Tan, what was that thing just now? Is it a person?"

The old stall's face was covered with sweat at this time, he shook his head: "It's not a human, it's a mountain ghost."

"Mountain ghost? What is a mountain ghost?"

Although I firmly believe in the theory of ghosts and gods now, I am still surprised to hear the word mountain ghost.

The old stall head nodded: "It's a mountain ghost, also called a mandrill. There should be many different legends about mountain ghosts in various places, and they are generally in the deep mountains and ancient forests, especially when walking at night, some mandrill ghosts will be encountered. Some people say that it is a monster transformed from wood, stone, poultry, or beast. Some say it is a gatekeeper animal raised by the mountain god's grandfather. Sneak away the cattle that people put on the mountain, or exchange the food of those who bring food to work in the fields for stones, and eat the food themselves... But from our experience, when you meet mountain ghosts at night, It's about death."

"Is there such a thing? Is this mountain ghost an animal or a spirit?" I continued to ask.

Chapter 116 Corpse Soul Fusion

The old stall head shook his head: "No one knows what it is. Some say it is a kind of animal with high intelligence, and some say it is an animal that has cultivated into a human form. It is better at night on normal days, maybe the mountain ghost did not check it very well. Strict, but seven days before and eight nights before the cliff burial, you must not bring open flames and light into the mountain. You can only light this human skin lantern, because human skin can filter out the candle light inside, so that it will not Attract mountain ghosts."

The old stall head said, holding a lantern and leading me to go on.

I continued to ask him about the mountain ghost: "Master Tan, what would happen if someone sneaked into the mountain and lit a fire, attracting the mountain ghost?"

I have been with Lao Tantou for a long time, and I found that Lao Tantou is still a good person.I have also unknowingly changed the name of the old stall from Tanye to Tanye, but the old stall doesn't seem to care.

When the old stall owner heard my question, he told me a story, which was also experienced by someone himself.

This mountain is Mount Yuyang, and everyone in the vicinity knows how spooky it is at night.At that time, there was a family in the town. There were four people. The father was paralyzed in bed, the mother was doing housework, and there was an older sister and a younger brother. The younger brother was only five years old. That year, he had a strange disease. He went to many hospitals but failed to cure it. , the parents were very anxious, and finally asked an old Chinese doctor.

The old Chinese doctor gave a prescription, saying that this prescription has an 80.00% chance of saving lives.However, there is a medicine in the prescription, which needs the water from the lake of Mt. Fuyang.Many people advised them to avoid the first seven and the second eight of the cliff burial, but saving people is like putting out a fire. The mother decided to take her 16-year-old daughter to venture up the mountain to get water from the mountain pool. As a result, she lost her way in the mountain while walking. I couldn't get out until night.

They also knew that they couldn't bring light in the mountains, but they wanted to save their younger brother, so they took a chance and fired a flashlight. They wrapped several layers of cloth on the flashlight, so that only a faint light could be revealed.

In the end, even so, he couldn't hide the truth from the mountain ghost.Just when they found the mountain pool and were about to fetch water, three mountain ghosts heard the light and came...

What the mountain ghost did to the mother and daughter, no one knows.It was only the next day that they still couldn't turn around, and relatives and friends gathered together to search on the mountain, only to find their mother and daughter.

Half of the mother's body was soaked in the pool, and she was already dying.And the daughter disappeared.

Everyone rushed the woman to the hospital, but died on the way to the hospital.Before they died, they said they met a mountain ghost...

The rest of the people searched almost all over Fuyang Mountain, but they couldn't find the daughter.People say that the girl's fleshy fragrance was eaten by mountain ghosts.

There are many legends about mountain ghosts harming people, so people here always talk about mountain ghosts when they go to the mountains, and their expressions change.

I don't take seriously the legend of this mountain ghost, because it is probably the product of people's rumors.But when I heard that this mountain ghost is so sensitive to light, I suddenly had a bigger question in my mind.

I remember Ma Di told me that when they entered the mountain that time, they saw the spirit banner, which means that that day was probably the day of the cliff burial.It is also possible that Zhou Zheng was hooked by the soul-inducing banner and went to the pool.

And in those two days, they not only lit a bonfire, but also swaggered through the city with flashlights.If the mountain ghosts are sensitive to light, it is impossible not to attack them.But according to Lao Ma's description, it seems that this kind of mountain ghost is not mentioned.

How is this going?Could it be that the old horse deliberately concealed this paragraph?

Impossible, Lao Ma can't, and there's no need to hide it from me.That must be because the mountain ghost was not disturbed that day.What is the reason for this?

I racked my brains and couldn't come up with a reason, thinking that when I saw the old horse, I must ask him.

Our progress never stopped. Although the mountain road was rough and difficult, the old stall was familiar with the road. After leading me to climb a small hill, he suddenly squatted down and grabbed the soil on the ground to smell it.

Then he threw away the soil and said, "They passed by this way in no more than half an hour."

I know that what the old stallman said about them is the team I saw in the village, maybe the third uncle and the others are also in it now.

I hurriedly urged: "Then let's catch up quickly?"

The old stall head nodded and led me to continue chasing forward.

After walking not far, we climbed up a high hill, which is condescending. If the sight line is good during the day, we should be able to overlook the whole surrounding.

As soon as I arrived at Gaogang, I smelled a fishy smell.It was a watery smell, very offensive in the air.

The old stall owner brushed away the weeds in front of him and let me look down.

Under Gao Gang, there was indeed a pool of water.Since the water pool is relatively open, the moonlight can completely cover it.In addition, today is the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar, and there are still two days before the night of the full moon, so the moonlight is very strong, shining on the pool water, sparkling and beautiful.

But we didn't come to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and I soon discovered the situation by the pool.

Just by the edge of the pool, a group of people squatted side by side, all of them in the same posture, with their heads raised upwards at an incredible angle, and then quickly plunged their heads into the pool.

They repeated this action over and over, like an animal drinking at the water's edge.

Due to the distance of these people, I couldn't see their faces clearly, and I couldn't even see their clothes clearly.

But their movements were so stiff that I immediately thought of corpses.Obviously, they were the corpses that were going to be buried on the cliff.

Sure enough, soon another figure appeared by the pool.The man was wearing a plain suit and was waving the spirit banner in his hand.

The old stall head explained to me in a low voice: "Did you see it? The mountain pool is freezing cold all year round, and those sewn corpses are hidden in this mountain pool water. Wait until the bannerman brings these ghosts to After that, they will be combined. Then they will drink the mountain water to appease the souls in the body. Now they are combined, and those ghosts have been sealed in the corpse. The person holding the banner will change from controlling ghosts to driving away ghosts dead."

I nodded and listened with my eyes wide open, trying to find out if there was Third Uncle and the others among those people, but the distance was too far away, and the light was not enough for me to recognize them.

But at this moment, the man shook the spirit banner in his hand, and a series of strange sounds came out of his mouth.

Those corpses that were squatting to drink water all stood up again.

The man whistled, danced the spirit flag, and walked up along the edge of the pool.

Those corpses that drank the water stood up and started to move their legs again, following the spirit banner.

What surprised me this time was that they changed their slow movements in the village and moved very fast.It took only a while to get away from that pool of water.

"Oops. I forgot. After they drink the water from the mountain pond, their speed will increase. Hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up with them."

The old stall suddenly shouted.

"Ah?" I was also taken aback. I couldn't keep up with their cliff burial. Does it mean that if the third uncle and the others were in there, they would also jump off the cliff?

How could such an important thing be forgotten?

Although I feel a little dissatisfied with the old stall in my heart, I can't say anything.After all, I still have to rely on him at this time.

The old stall head trotted with a lantern in his hand, and rushed down from the high hill.

I followed closely behind.

It is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. When we rushed down from Gaogang, since we only had two lanterns in our hands, we could not achieve full lighting at all.Going down this way, I don't know how many times we fell and hit how many tree trunks.I reckoned that my nose was already bruised and my face was swollen.

We rushed from the high hill to the water pool, and checked each other. Fortunately, we had many abrasions on our bodies, but none of them were serious.
