The years of reselling the haunted house

"Oops." Before I could finish my sentence, the old man kicked the standing rock angrily.His foot hurt from kicking, so he knelt down and rubbed his foot again.

It's funny how he looks, but I can't laugh at all.

I leaned over and asked, "Master Tan, you've confused me, what's going on?"

The old stall owner covered his head and said, "It's my fault. I didn't think carefully. Let me tell you, the bones of those corpses were all picked up by me, and I sent them to the mortician with my own hands. Here, There are no women at all."

I was taken aback: "How could it be possible without a woman, then...that girl..."

"It's your third uncle."

"Ah? That's impossible!" I felt ridiculous at the old stall's words.Uncle San is a rough old man, how could he be that girl.

"Boy, have you ever heard of ghosts covering your eyes? In the middle of the night, on this Fuyang Mountain, there is a lot of yin, under the black roof, never believe what your eyes see." The old stall shook his head and said.

"Third Uncle? Is that the Third Uncle?"

After listening to the old stall's explanation, I have no idea.I absolutely believe in things like ghosts covering their eyes.To put it bluntly, it means that your eyes are blinded, and all you see are illusions.

Looking back now, I recalled it again carefully, and suddenly thought of one thing.

Smell, the smell of that girl!

At that time, I felt that the smell was familiar to me, but for a while, I couldn't remember where I smelled it.

Now that I think about it, it's the third uncle's smell.

Ghosts cover their eyes, so what they see is false, but what they smell is real.

Thinking of this, I exclaimed: "It's the third uncle, that person is the third uncle. So..."

I looked at the bottomless cliff bottom, and my body seemed to collapse.If Third Uncle's intelligence was controlled by someone, he must have jumped off the cliff with those corpses.

It seems that the third uncle still had a little thought at that time. He was talking to me at that time, was he warning me, calling for help?

But why did he let me avoid it?

hide... hide...

I repeated the word over and over, and suddenly realized that I was wrong, completely wrong.

The third uncle didn't say "hide" at that time, but "I".

The finals of the two words are exactly the same, and the third uncle's articulation was not clear at the time, so I heard it as a hidden word.

I figured it all out, and stamped my feet, more annoyed than the old man.The third uncle was already standing in front of me, but I failed to save him.And now it is very likely that he has been buried at the bottom of the cliff.

My body fell limply to the ground, feeling hopeless.

The old stall quickly supported me, and persuaded me: "Boy, don't be discouraged. I always speak straight, old stall. Your third uncle may be dead. But until you see your third uncle's bones, you don't want anything." Do it. I'll go down the cliff to pick up your third uncle's bones, and if your third uncle is really down there, I promise to bring you back a lot."

I don't even have the strength to be angry at this moment, this old stall is really outspoken, he can't even comfort others, the third uncle is dead, what do I need those bones for?

The old stall looked at Ma Di and Liang Yue who were still standing aside, then walked over, made a few handprints with both hands, muttered something, and finally pressed his thumbs firmly between the eyebrows of Ma Di and Liang Yue.

Ma Su and Liang Yue shivered one after another, and looked around blankly.

The old stall owner said to me, "They're all right now."

If there is no such thing as Uncle San, I would be very happy. Now that I see them well, my heart is empty.

Liang Yue turned her neck, saw me at a glance, and ran towards me.

Who knew that as soon as she took a step, she couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Chapter 122 Don't cry without seeing the coffin

When Ma Di saw me, he also wanted to walk towards me, but just after taking half a step, his body swayed and he almost fell down.It looked as if both legs were useless.

I hurried over to help Liang Yue up, and asked the old stall owner: "Mr. Tan, what happened to them? Didn't they come back? Why can't their legs work?"

The old stall said: "They have been controlled for a long time, and the body's essence, blood and muscles need to recover. Don't worry, they can recover within three to five minutes of activities."

Liang Yue frowned and asked me: "Li Yang, what's going on? Where is this place?"

Ma Di was also puzzled, and recalled: "Didn't we enter Nanliu Village? Then there was fog... and then..."

I waved my hand: "Don't ask so many questions, hurry up and move your body. I will tell you slowly here, and I ask you, have you had any communication with my third uncle after the fog started?"

Liang Yue thought for a while and said: "At that time, I was following the old horse, and I heard your third uncle shouting, let us all follow, and don't get separated. But the fog is too thick, and I can't see it after running for a while. You are third uncle, so you can only follow closely behind the old horse. Later, the old horse stopped..."

Ma Di went on to say: "Yes, I stopped because the compass in my hand failed, and the pointer was spinning rapidly, but I couldn't stop."

I nodded: "In that case, the compass is simply unreliable. Then..."

"Later, when Lao Ma and I looked for your third uncle again, we couldn't see him. At this time, I felt dizzy, as if I saw a line of people passing by in front of me. I didn't know it. I just followed, and then I can't remember what happened..."

Lao Ma also nodded and said that it was similar to Liang Yue's situation.These are basically the same as I expected. It seems that the third uncle should be the same as the old horse at that time, but maybe the third uncle himself has some Taoism, and the soul-inducing banner failed to completely confuse the third uncle, so he and the old man Their situation is different.

Realizing that my mood was a little off, Ma Di asked, "It seems that you saved me and Liang Yue, why isn't your third uncle here?"

The old stall head pointed to the cliff: "He jumped off the cliff after him."

Ma Su and Liang Yue were both surprised and stared at me.I tried my best to control my emotions. This is not the time to be sad, and there is no final conclusion on how things will end.I picked the main part and briefly told Liang Yue and Ma Su what happened.

After listening to me, Ma Di shook his head like a rattle drum, and waved his hands again and again: "Li Yang, don't be ridiculous. If you say that others are in danger, I believe it. Your third uncle? Jumped from here? I would kill me I don't believe it. That stinking old man, ghost spirit, when the fog comes up, he probably knows what's going on, and he must have made preparations. Both of us are fine, he will be fine? I'll leave it alone, if he's fine , I write it backwards."

Liang Yue also said: "I also believe in Master Dong Bin, he will be fine with such high morals."

My heart was completely ashamed, but after listening to the two of them, hope rose again.

The old stall owner curled his lips and said: "I really don't cry when I see the coffin. Well, seeing is believing. In order to make you give up, I will take you down to pick up bones. Whether he is dead or alive, you will know when you get down there." .”

The old stall head lit the lantern, walked in front, and walked down an inconspicuous small fork next to the platform.

Ma Di was walking on the small road, and let me look at the road in a low voice. I found that the grass on the small fork road was rickety.Ma Su said: "See? The grass has been trampled, but it hasn't withered yet. It's obvious that someone stepped on it just now. If your third uncle really got to the top of this cliff, he must have come down from here again. This Old miscellaneous hair, scaring us like this, he is more attractive when we meet."

I was overjoyed, so the third uncle really had a great chance of being alive.

Unexpectedly, the old stall turned his head and said: "The banner holder also left from here. This grass should be broken by him. Your third uncle... It's still a bad luck."

This old man's words are really not pleasant to listen to. The little hope that I had just kindled was poured down by him again with a basin of cold water.

But he is our savior anyway, so I dare not question him for anything he says.

Liang Yue didn't care about that. After hearing what the old man said, he retorted: "I said, sir, can't you say something auspicious? Why can't you hear any good words from your mouth?"

The old stall head snorted: "I, the old stall head, just do this depressing job, and what I say is also depressing words. This is called good medicine, and it is easy to say auspicious words. When the time comes, don't be too happy to turn into sorrow."

I know that if I compare myself with this old stall, I might say something nasty.He is also straightforward, has his own judgment, and just says what comes to mind.

I signaled Liang Yue not to say any more, and followed the old stall all the way from the top of the cliff to the valley.

This path extending down the mountain is very steep, and in some places it even goes straight up and down at a ninety-degree slope.Fortunately, there was enough moonlight at this time, otherwise we would be unable to move even if we only relied on the illumination of the lanterns.

And the old stall was also very familiar with the path, and there were many forks in the middle of that small road, and the old stall made a judgment without thinking.This greatly shortened the time we had to reach the bottom of the cliff.

It took us more than an hour to get from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff.

The old stall looked up at the sky, and said: "It is less than two hours before dawn, and we will pass through the woods ahead, which is the bottom of the cliff. It is said that I have to wait three days after the cliff burial. I just came to pick the bones. Today I made an exception and went in first to have a look. If your third uncle is really inside, I can find him soon. I am also somewhat responsible for this. Give you an explanation."

I hurriedly said, "Master Tan, we'll go in with you."

The old stall head said righteously: "No. The place where the cliff is buried is a forbidden area in Nanliu Village. I have broken the taboo by bringing you here. You can't go there even more. It is a place where corpses are piled up twice a year. The Yin Qi is pouring down, the wind is howling all year round, and there are many mountain beasts and insects. I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of you if I go in. You wait for me here, and I will be back in less than an hour."

Saying that, the old stall owner wanted to pass the two transparent flags in my hand, and holding his bone-seeking lamp, he strode towards the woods. After a while, his voice of reciting formulas came from a distance: "Mountains, rocks, water, soil, Search for corpses and bones, ashes to ashes, earth to earth, Yin people to bury, Yang people to find their ancestors. Mountain spirits return to caves, insects to earth..."

It turns out that there is still a long section behind his formula, presumably because he was afraid that I would not be able to remember it, so he asked me to recite the first paragraph.

When reading to the end, the old stall's voice gradually weakened until it could no longer be heard.

I know that the old stall's words are not alarmist. At the bottom of the cliff, a large number of corpses jump from the top of the cliff every year.Although there are old stalls to pick bones to clean up, this kind of place is indeed not suitable for ordinary people to stay for a long time.

Chapter 123

When the old stall is gone, my heart is still hanging.

The life and death of the third uncle was like a huge rock pressing on me, making it difficult for me to breathe.

I paced back and forth in the same place, I don't know how many times I walked back and forth.

Ma Di and Liang Yue looked at me, and didn't know what to say to comfort me.Finally, Liang Yue came to my side and pulled me back: "Li Yang, I know you are worried about your third uncle. I think what Lao Ma said is right, none of us have any accidents, let alone him."

I nodded, now I can only comfort myself with this thought.

Liang Yue pointed to the ground and said, "Don't turn around, you'll be bald by stepping on this grass, let's rest for a while."

Ma Di also said: "Didn't the old man say he would be back in an hour? It's about the same time."

I looked up at the sky. At this time, there was a slight fish belly white on the horizon, and it seemed that it would be dawn soon.We've been stuck in the mountains all night.

But there was no movement at the old stall. There was a lot of movement when he left, but now it seems like a stone has disappeared.

This kind of anxious waiting is simply unacceptable.

Liang Yue glanced at me, gritted her teeth and said, "Well, you wait for me here, I'll go in and look for it."

With that said, Liang Yue turned around and was about to enter the woods.

Ma Di hurriedly stopped Liang Yue, and said, "No, you can't act alone at this time. Besides, the situation inside is unknown, so entering rashly will not help."

Liang Yue retorted: "The old man said one hour, and it's time. Could it be that he won't come out for a lifetime, and we have to wait for a lifetime?"

Ma Di waved his hand: "To be precise, he went in for 55 minutes and 32 seconds, which is less than an hour."

Liang Yue stared angrily: "I don't have time to play with you here for a few seconds."

The two were arguing on the spot, and I forced myself to calm down.Although the old man is rather frustrated, he is a bone picker here, and his judgment on things and the environment is better than ours. Since he talked for an hour, he should have left room, and there must be him reason.If he didn't come out within an hour, there must be something wrong inside.Rather than waiting here, it is really better to go in and have a look.And now that the sky is about to dawn, the yin energy inside will gradually weaken as the sun rises, and some evil spirits will also recede, so we won't be in too much danger if we go in.

Liang Yue and Ma Su quarreled for a while, but neither could convince the other, and they all looked at me again.

I said to Ma Di: "Old Ma, when the hour is up, we will allow another 15 minutes. When the time is up, we will go to the bottom of the cliff to look for people."

Ma Su nodded, looking forward to the grove together with us.

Time passed bit by bit, and although we looked forward to seeing it through, there was still no movement in the grove.

On the contrary, as the sky gets brighter, more and more birds fly out from another forest to look for food.

Ma Su pointed to the forest in front of us and said: "Look, there are a lot of birds on this mountain, but only in the forest in front of us, there is no bird call, and no bird flies out of it. This shows the environment inside. It is very different from the outside, we have to guard against it."

I have also noticed this phenomenon, and I know that what Ma Di said makes sense.This phenomenon of the bird not falling can only show that there is something that the birds are afraid of.But at this moment, in this situation and in this situation, I have no choice but to go to Huashan.

Soon, Ma Su told me that the time was up.

I took a deep breath and looked at the three of us.I am relieved that despite the twists and turns we experienced at night, the bags we carried with us are still there, and there are some necessary supplies in it, which may be used when we go inside.

At this time, the sky has gradually brightened, and we don't need to use moonlight and lanterns for lighting.

I put out the bright light, and walked into the woods with Ma Di and Liang Yue with my backpack on my back.

Sure enough, as Ma Di said, the woods are very quiet, there are no insects or birds, as if there is no life here.And our intrusion into this lifeless forest seems to have disturbed the balance here, and I feel that the pores on my body are numb.

The old stall once said that if you pass through this forest, you will reach the bottom of the cliff.So I was walking in the woods, panicking. I didn't know what the legendary cliff bottom looked like, whether I would see Uncle San inside, and what happened to the old stall who never came back?

I have experienced too many weird things, and I can't help thinking wildly in my heart. I'm afraid that there is something weird in the woods, and it will be bad if we can't get out of a ecstasy circle or something.

In fact, I still think too much. The area of ​​the forest is not large. After we walked more than 20 meters, we walked out of the forest.

The outside of the forest is full of weeds, and those weeds are wild and unscrupulous, and the height is more than one meter high.I didn't see a road in the middle, and I didn't know which direction the old stall was walking from.

Ma Su carried a portable manual saw in his bag. We saw a few sticks in the woods as walking sticks.I don't know if there are poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions in the grass. It would be much better to have a stick.Since we didn't know the correct direction, we had to find a random position and walked towards the grass.

The wind rustled the weeds, and the three of us, like explorers, went deeper step by step.

None of the three of us spoke, and we automatically spread out in a zigzag shape, keeping a distance of two or three meters from each other.

After about ten minutes, Liang Yue who was walking obliquely in front of me suddenly said, "This seems to be a stone tablet."

Ma Di and I also gathered together to push away the weeds where Liang Yue pointed, and sure enough a broken stone tablet appeared there.

The stele was divided into two, the lower one was deeply buried in the ground, and the upper one was scattered aside.

"There are words on it, isn't it a place name?" Ma Di was more interested in these, and when he saw the stele, he hurried over to check it.

The writing on the stele has become mottled because no one has maintained it for a long time, and there is no paint on it, so it is impossible to tell what the writing is at first glance.

Ma Di took off his gloves, stretched out his hand and rubbed the two stone tablets continuously.

Both Liang Yue and I looked at Ma Su.

Suddenly, Ma Di was touching the stele's hand, and stopped, with an incredulous expression on his face.

I was taken aback, and quickly asked, "What? Did you find it? What did you write?"
