The years of reselling the haunted house

The rustling sound of poisonous insects crawling is endless, making people feel uneasy.

We involuntarily backed away until we reached the side of the altar.

And those poisonous insects also stopped crawling forward when they got near the altar, as if they had something to avoid.

"Someone is here." Liang Yue said in a deep voice.

Sure enough, at the far end of the passage, a person walked slowly.

We shone a flashlight and found that the man was covered from head to toe by a black robe, except for two eyes staring at us.Seeing that look, I was shocked, as if I had seen it somewhere.

By the way, it was the dead man on the altar.It was as sharp and ghostly as that man's eyes.

The man walked slowly to a distance of seven or eight meters from us, and then stopped.

I suddenly noticed that Ma Su, who was standing beside me, was shaking non-stop.

I glanced at Ma Di, and found that his eyes were straight, staring at the visitor.

I was just about to ask.Ma Di blurted out: "Zhou Zheng?!"

At the same time, Xing Mo also yelled, and he and Ma Su almost spoke in unison.

He is Zhou Zheng?

I couldn't believe it, it would be Zhou Zheng?That Zhou Zheng who was dying and living only on nutrient solution?It seemed normal for anyone to appear here, except Zhou Zheng, who should not be here the last time.

Hearing the shouts of Xing Mo and Ma Di, the visitor slowly took off the mask on his head.

An extremely pale face was revealed.I have only seen photos of Zhou Zheng, and I am not impressed.But when he took off his mask, Ma Di and Xing Mo were not too surprised, obviously Zhou Zheng was the one who came.

There was a tricky smile on Zhou Zheng's face, behind that smile seemed to hide a lot of things we don't know.

"Hello, two teachers." Zhou Zheng bowed to Ma Di and Xing Mo, and then said lightly, "I didn't expect you to recognize me when I dress like this."

"Zhou...Zhou Zheng, what are you doing? What's going on here?"

Zhou Zheng didn't answer Ma Su's question, but took off the black robe on his own.

Zhou Zheng's movements were very slow, and his body was indeed very thin, the kind of fragile and thin, as if he could break himself apart if he moved quickly.

But on this occasion, Zhou Zheng also carried a strong aura.I don't know if it has something to do with the dense poisonous insects under his feet.Where Zhou Zheng was standing, those poisonous insects automatically spread out in a circle, surrounding Zhou Zheng like stars surrounding the moon.

Time seemed to be slowing down with Zhou Zheng's slow motion. I looked back and saw that my third uncle was still sitting cross-legged in the same place, and I could see a faint breath coming from his celestial cap.

As for the few of us, sweat was seeping from our faces to varying degrees. Although we were anxious and looked at Zhou Zheng, we didn't dare to do anything else.We all have a feeling that improper actions are very likely to lead to death.

Zhou Zheng threw off his black robe, and the clothes on his body were similar to those worn by the person on the altar.

It was also a piece of clothing as thin as a cicada's wings.

Such a dress made Zhou Zheng look even more skinny.I can even see Zhou Zheng's protruding ribs.

Zhou Zheng looked at Ma Su and said, "Teacher, you have always been someone I admire. I don't intend to hurt you. I know you have a lot of questions in your heart. We have time, you can listen to me to tell you, but I know The few of you are not fuel-efficient lamps. I'm ugly before, if anyone dares to make small moves during this period, don't blame me for being rude..."

Zhou Zheng's voice was very soft, but at the end, he was actually majestic.Before the words fell, the poisonous insects around them began to stir.

Xing Mo pointed at Zhou Zheng and angrily said: "Zhou Zheng, that's enough. Mr. Ma is too old for you to toss about like this, and we don't want to know about your shit. I advise you to stop earlier, or you will end badly. Teacher, don't listen to his nonsense, let's go..."

Saying that, Xing Mo stepped forward, ready to help Ma Di to leave.

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, but he didn't see any special movements. The poisonous insects on the ground suddenly swarmed up and rushed towards Xing Mo like a tide.

"Be careful." I reminded Xing Mo loudly.

Xing Mo was afraid that Ma Di would be hurt, so he quickly let go of Ma Di, and he quickly took two steps back.

We all know that the space here is extremely limited, and those poisonous insects are all-pervasive, so they can't escape just by hiding.

Chapter 138 Insect King Zou Baizu

But Xing Mo took two steps back, obviously not trying to hide, but quickly took out a bag from his body, reached into the bag, grabbed a handful of powdery things, and sprinkled them on the poisonous insects approaching.

The powder flew into the air, shining silver in the beam of the flashlight.

The medicinal powder fell into the swarm of poisonous insects, and it was very effective. The poisonous insects covered with silver powder, seemed to have taken a stimulant, and spun around crazily on the spot.This hindered the progress of the poisonous insects behind, causing chaos for a while.

It seems that this Xing Mo must have known that he would be attacked by the insect swarm before he came, so he also brought the necessary insect repellent medicine.

Zhou Zheng looked weak, squatting on the ground, gasping for breath, like a heavy smoker.

He squinted at Xing Mo, saw that Xing Mo sprinkled silver powder, he sneered: "Mr. Xing, I didn't expect you to bring insect-fixing powder with you. It's a pity, this insect-fixing powder seems to be useless what……"

Speaking of the last sentence, Zhou Zheng waved his right hand, and the clothes on his body, which were as thin as a cicada's wings, also floated up.

Those poisonous insects that were fixed in circles turned around again and rushed towards Xing Mo frantically.

The poisonous insects behind followed suit, like a tide.

Xing Mo was shocked when he saw this, and the insect-fixing powder in the bag kept spilling out, but this time it didn't help.A large number of poisonous insects crawled onto Xing Mo's body, and soon Xing Mo cried out in pain, and fell to the ground in pain covering his face.

As Xing Mo fell to the ground, more and more poisonous insects crawled onto his body.

Xing Mo rolled on the ground in pain, and soon his body was covered with poisonous insects.

"Xing Mo, Xing Mo..." Ma Di knew that he had wronged Xing Mo, and felt very guilty. Seeing Xing Mo's suffering, he wanted to rush over to rescue him.

Liang Yue and I quickly stopped Ma Di, and I hugged his waist: "Old Ma, calm down..."

At this time, even in the past, there was no good way to save Xing Mo, and if he didn't do it, he might get caught up with himself.

Ma Su looked like he was going crazy, he tried his best to break free, and shouted at Zhou Zheng: "Zhou Zheng, you bastard. Let Xing Mo go quickly..."

Zhou Zheng responded: "Okay, the teacher will definitely follow what the teacher says."

I don't know what method Zhou Zheng used to issue the order, and the poisonous insects crawling on Xing Mo's body crawled under him one after another.

When the poisonous insects were gone, Ma Di rushed to Xing Mo and found that Xing Mo was unconscious, and the exposed skin on his body was bruised and swollen beyond recognition.It is conceivable that the skin under the clothes will not be as good either.

I breathed out my hand and told Ma Su, "Old Ma, you're still alive."

Zhou Zheng said: "Anyway, he can be regarded as my teacher. I'm just trying to show him off. No matter how I say it, I won't kill him. Unless..."

Ma Di stood where he was, glaring at Zhou Zheng: "Unless something... Let me ask you, Wen Youyou, did you die at your hands?"

Zhou Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "There is no way, Yoyo, she discovered my secret... At that time, I couldn't let others know my secret... But she is too stubborn, if I want to tell you the secret, teacher, I can only... "

Ma Di pointed at Zhou Zheng, his body was shaking and his voice was trembling: "Yuyou, she is your girlfriend, aren't you two getting married soon?"

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows: "So what?"

Ma Su shook his head again and again as if he didn't know Zhou Zheng: "Zhou Zheng, what have you been through? It turns out that you are not like this..."

Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "Teacher, you are wrong. So I am like this, but the me you know, not the real me. Maybe since I was born, I have been given a special mission."

During the conversation between Zhou Zheng and Ma Di, I weighed the situation.I don't know where I learned the ability to control poisonous insects this week. Not to mention anything else, just because of this massive number of poisonous insects rushing up to bite us, we will soon be gnawed into bones.Judging from his clothes and the strange person on the altar, this should be an evil method.

As for the few of us, the only one who can break this evil law is the third uncle.But the third uncle didn't know what happened just now, he was still adjusting his breath, and he didn't know when he would recover.

So the only way right now is to procrastinate until third uncle recovers.

And Zhou Zheng should also be able to know a lot of secrets we want to know, and maybe some questions will be solved here.

I was thinking about how to secretly tell Ma Su to hold Zhou Zheng steady.Unexpectedly, Ma Di was also very shrewd. Before I mentioned it to him, he said to Zhou Zheng: "Zhou Zheng, this is the end of the matter. If you still regard me as your teacher, should you tell the secret in your heart?" gone."

"Okay. Teacher, I am satisfied with you. I will tell you a story first..." Zhou Zheng looked up and looked at Ma Di, pointing to the man on the altar next to him, and asked, "Do you know who he is?" Who is it?"

Ma Di shook his head: "I don't know, but I know it must have something to do with you."

Zhou Zheng didn't say yes or no, without showing his expression, "He used to be the most powerful magician in the world, Zou Baizu, the king of insects that the Taoists talked about changed his face."

"Insect King?" We already know that there is a bird king, Qin Wuyu, who is inextricably linked with Nanliu Village.We even found the abandoned Bird King Shrine in the village.I didn't expect there was a bug king here.And how did this insect king stand here?

Zhou Zheng stared at the worm king, and seemed to be immersed in the story he told...

康熙47年（1708年）夏，康熙第一次罢黜了太子胤礽。康熙48年（1709年），复立胤礽为太子。康熙51年（1712年）再次废黜胤礽，自此不再立太子。胤禩因争夺意图过于明显而被康熙斥责疏远。争夺储位斗争转入暗处而更加激烈……

On the surface, Prince Yong Yinzhen didn't care about current affairs, but was obsessed with Buddhism and Taoism. He called himself "the most idle person in the world" and maintained harmony with his brothers.In private, they are looking for capable people and strangers everywhere.Based on the historical background at that time, there was a trend of practicing different arts among the people, and a large number of alchemists and warlocks came into being.

All kinds of strange arts have been circulated among the people, many of which have been indulged in for many years and have been dusty for a long time.And Prince Yong Yinzhen's search for strangers also became a trigger for the rise of strange folk arts.Until Prince Yong came to the throne, the trend of practicing different arts did not diminish, but intensified and flourished.

Among them, there are some vicious and deceptive sorcery and witchcraft. Of course, there are also many spells that can be called national treasures.

Where there is good, there is evil, and where there is evil, there is good.The magic of the world has gradually formed two factions, good and evil.

Chapter 139

Among them, there are two representatives of righteousness and evil. The representative of decent is Qin Wuyu, the bird king, and the representative of evil is Zou Baizu, the king of insects.Relying on their ancestral bird-controlling skills and insect-serving skills, they stand out among other different skills and become the best warlocks.

At that time, the cliff valley in the Fuyang Mountain had a superior geographical environment, concentrated the essence of the sun, the moon, and the essence of mountains and rivers, and it was the best place to practice spells.

Qin Wuyu and Zou Baizu took a fancy to this land at the same time. At that time, the land where Yagu was located was Nanyangao.

At that time, Nanyang Au had good weather and good weather, and it was a peaceful place where people were self-sufficient and lived in peace and well-being.

In order to drive the villagers out of Yagu, Zou Baizu spared no effort to use thousands of poisonous insects to attack Yagu.

The shocking insect disaster that Zhou Zheng described next was similar to what was recorded on the boundary marker. In short, according to Zou Baizu's plan, the entire village of Nanyangao would cease to exist.

Speaking of this, we glanced at each other, only to realize that the insect disaster back then was not a natural disaster, but a catastrophe manipulated by someone.You know, that's hundreds of lives in the village, and hundreds of livestock. This Zou Baizu is really unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal, and the degree of violence in his heart can be imagined.

We also know what happened next.The bird king Qin Wuyu led a flock of birds to Yagu.

A fierce battle between birds and insects ended with the victory of the bird king.

But Bird King also suffered a heavy loss, and he needed to cultivate his health.Also, after those poisonous insects were pecked to death by birds, a large number of insect corpses spread all over the valley.

So Bird King lived in Yagu and guided the villagers to deal with the aftermath.However, after the defeat of the insect king, he disappeared. There are rumors that he was killed by the bird king in the fierce battle, and it is said that he escaped to wait for revenge.

The bird king Qin Wuyu rescued the whole village, and the villagers regarded him as a god. Because Qin Wuyu called himself Mr. Nanliu, the villagers changed the name of the village to Nanliu Village.

This is the end of the news we learned from the boundary markers.

What happened next, we were also very curious for a while, now Zhou Zheng seems to know all the inside information.He went on talking, and we listened quietly.The densely packed poisonous insects crawled back and forth on the field, making that disgusting rustling sound.And Zhou Zheng's voice was mixed in this voice.Although the sound is not loud, it has a strong penetrating power.

After Bird King Qin Wuyu settled down in Nanliu Village, he asked the villagers to hold bean roots in their mouths, dipped a sackcloth in water, covered their mouths and noses, and collected the insect corpses.And dig a hole outside the village and bury the insect corpses.

As the saying goes, centipedes are dead but not stiff.When those insect corpses gather together, they can exude an air of insect stiffness.The King of Birds asked people to build a temple on top of the cave, named the Temple of the King of Birds, to suppress the dead insects.

With the Temple of the Bird King suppressing the insect corpses and the King of Birds sitting in the cliff valley, people naturally felt at ease and quickly returned to their old lives.Due to the existence of the bird king, it has attracted a large number of birds hovering in the cliff valley, singing and dancing every day, like a fairyland on earth.

But after a while, the bird king Qin Wuyu suddenly told the villagers that he had to go out for half a month.

After Qin Wuyu left, thefts occurred from time to time in the village.

The things that were stolen were various, first the rice stored in the family, later the silver money of the family, and the gold and silver jewelry of the wealthy family.

However, no outsiders visit this cliff valley on weekdays, so the village chief suspected that there was an inner ghost.

A few days later, the villagers began to get sick on a large scale, and they were bedridden one after another.

At this time, someone reported that they saw birds coming in and out of the villagers' houses and flying to the Bird King Temple.

So the village head led the villagers to check the Bird King Temple, and found that there were a lot of grains and stolen silver coins and jewelry in the Bird King Temple.

The villagers were angry for a while, and then someone claimed to be an insider, saying that the bird king came here for another purpose.The birds will absorb the yang energy of the villagers, and harvest yin and supplement yang for the bird king.If the Temple of the King of Birds is destroyed, the villagers will heal themselves.

The villagers were skeptical at first, but the sudden onset of the illness made them think that they should give it a try.If demolishing the Temple of the King of Birds doesn’t work, the worst thing is to build it up again.

So the villagers pushed down the Bird King Temple, and the birds tried their best to protect it, but it didn't help.

Strangely, as the Temple of the King of Birds was razed to the ground, the villagers really recovered from their illnesses.The villagers were even more convinced, and simply drove all the birds in the village out of the valley.

After half a month, the Bird King came back and saw that the Temple of the Bird King was destroyed and the birds were driven away, so he didn't say much.He just told the villagers that there will be a landslide in the near future and asked the whole village to evacuate as soon as possible.

With nothing to prove, people no longer trust Bird King as much as before.

The bird king said that the bird has the power of prophets. He got the news from the bird. If he doesn't move away as soon as possible, the whole village may be destroyed.

However, the villagers only confuse them with the demonic words spoken by the bird king in order to occupy the village. Not only did they not listen to the bird king's words, but they drove him out of the valley.

On the second day after Bird King was driven away, a landslide really happened in Mount Zhuyang.The landslide leveled the entire Nanliu village.

The scene at that time was extremely tragic, and mourning was everywhere.

After the battle of birds and insects in Yagu, such a tragedy happened again.Many people who died were unwilling, and lonely ghosts spread all over the valley.At night, ghosts cry and wolves howl, and the sky is dark.

A paradise envied by the world has turned into a hell on earth in a blink of an eye.

Bird King returned to this place, feeling deeply that all this was caused by his own mishandling, which led to this tragedy.He collected the bones of all the dead and sent them to the cave under the Bird King Temple.

The stiffness of the insects, coupled with the mournful aura emanating from these bones, cannot be suppressed even if the Temple of the Bird King is rebuilt.

So the Bird King searched the entire Fuyang Mountain, and found a dead century-old tree, which was planted on the side of the abandoned Bird King Temple.
