Nightmare Apostle

"In the past, this road was remote, and thieves and bandits often robbed passing merchants. After taking away the goods and women, the remaining men and children were killed directly, and their intestines were cut open and hung on nearby trees, with blood spurting out. The leader of the caravan was even more miserable, and he was directly set on fire to scare the caravans that dared to resist."

"Later, these thieves became more and more rampant, and even dared to intercept the family of the county magistrate. The masters in the yamen could not sit still, and called in the soldiers to start suppressing the bandits. They killed one by one when they caught one, and threw the body directly on the roadside. If the leader was caught, not only would he be tortured to death, but he would also be beheaded and displayed to the public."

"Later, there were more and more bodies on the roadside, and no one dared to collect the bodies of the thieves, for fear that they would be tied up as accomplices by the government troops. As time went on, the stench of corpses was overwhelming, and evil spirits also appeared. Some people said that they saw evil ghosts catching people and eating them, which made people panic. "

"Until one day, a barefoot monk passed by. This monk was not ordinary. He was a Taoist monk. In the cold winter, he wore a thin monk's robe and walked barefoot in the knee-deep snow. His skin was ruddy and his face was normal. "

"After wandering here for a night, the barefoot monk found the government office early the next morning and said that this forest was a rare gathering place for yin. The souls of people who died here did not disperse and gathered together. Now some of them are about to become powerful. If they are left alone, the lives of people in the whole city will be killed. "

"The masters in the government office did not believe such nonsense, so they shouted to the yamen runners to beat the people out with sticks. Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, 7 or 8 yamen runners were knocked down by the thin monk. In the end, the monk followed He took out two round objects from his big pocket and threw them on the ground, which scared everyone present. They turned out to be two human heads! "

"These two heads are familiar to the officials in the yamen. One is the head of the fierce bandit "Zhuanshanlong" and the other belongs to the leader of the mountain bandits "Xiao Xifeng". These two were wiped out by the government army half a year ago and were taken to the vegetable market to be executed by slow slicing. Their heads were also ordered to be hung on the side of the mountain road to serve as a warning to others. However, there is no sign of decay on these two heads. They are lifelike. "

"The barefoot monk didn't waste any words. He held the head in one hand and opened the jaw of "Zhuanshanlong" with the other hand. He saw half a bloody ear in it, and there was a jade earring on the ear. "

"The monk said that he heard a strange noise in the woods last night. When he approached, he happened to see these two evil spirits killing people. There were 8 people on the scene, and almost all of them were eaten. After a fierce battle, they finally destroyed the foundation of the two evil spirits and took back their heads. "

"Seeing this scene, the official immediately sent people to check the place mentioned by the old monk. After confirming that it was correct, he immediately summoned craftsmen according to the old monk's instructions and built a pagoda at the place selected by the old monk, which is the place we just passed. This is the most yin place on the whole road. It was used to suppress the evil spirits nearby. "

"Then the ownerless corpses were collected and buried near the soul-suppressing pagoda. From then on, this road became much safer. "

"Over time, as long as there are people who died unjustly nearby, or unclaimed corpses, they will be pulled here and buried under the pagoda. In this way, even if they become evil spirits, they will be suppressed by the soul-suppressing pagoda and cannot do evil. "

"By the way, it is rumored that the old monk left the Buddha statue he carried with him in the pagoda. Whether it is true or not, I don't know. "

The groom stopped talking here, but Yang Xiao became alert. The groom knew too much. It was too detailed, but there was a loophole in his words.

The groom said that people nearby would bury the ownerless bones near the Soul-Calming Tower, but this ghost place is not allowed to get close to it, even if you pass by, you can't talk or look directly, so how dare you dig a pit to bury the body?

"This place is so weird, how dare you get close to bury the body?" Yang Xiao pretended to be a little scared, but very curious.

When it comes to this, the groom scratched his head embarrassedly, "Oh, you are talking about this, it's easy, just take a mouthful of grave soil, and when you are done, leave there and spit out the soil. ”

Now that the steep mountain road has been passed, the road ahead is wide, and the groom relaxes and takes out a red cloth bag from his arms. After opening it, there is some finely ground soil, "This is it. Passers-by will prepare some on the road, but the smell..."

The groom was probably in his early 50s, and smiled honestly. Yang Xiao knew what he meant. The main reason was that the grave soil tasted really bad, otherwise he would have given some to himself and Xu Su before passing there.

The next second, the groom was stunned, because Xu Su suddenly reached out and grabbed some grave soil, and then gave some to Yang Xiao.

"You are..."

"It's better to be prepared. "Yang Xiao smiled and put away the grave soil. This so-called soul-soothing tower is a bit weird, so we have to be on guard.

Continuing on the road, about half an hour later, the carriage finally stopped, and Yang Xiao could already hear the sound of waves hitting the embankment.

After getting off the car, there was a small dock in front of him, but it was very lively with people coming and going. In addition to some merchants dressed in rich clothes, most of them were coolies at the dock, carrying half-person-high sacks, going back and forth between the carriage, warehouse, and the big wooden boats on the shore.

The carriage without cargo could not stay here for a long time. After agreeing to meet in half an hour, the coachman drove the carriage away.

Without the coachman, Yang Xiao and Xu Su were much freer, "Thank you, Miss Xu, this grave soil may be useful when I go back."

Xu Su nodded a little embarrassedly, "It's just a small effort. I was really scared when I passed by there. Fortunately, you are here. "

I don't believe you! Yang Xiao thought to himself, but his face showed that he was flattered, and there was a hint of pride and joy at having a beautiful woman throw herself into his arms. After a moment, he said seriously: "Miss Xu, you are too kind. We are teammates and should help each other!"

"Well, the feeling you give me... is different from the people I met before." Xu Su raised his head a little embarrassedly and looked into Yang Xiao's eyes. The weakness and expectation in his eyes were like a river of spring water. "So you must survive. You are a newcomer. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me if others don't want to tell you."

Here it comes! It's the right taste!

What a blooming white lotus. She must have realized that she is useful and did not hesitate to use the beauty trick to take her down. It would be better to use a trick of alienation to bind herself to her while stabbing others in the back, such as her nominal ally Kuang Hongyi.

Xu Su lifted the hair on his temples, looking a little embarrassed. After a long time, he mustered up the courage and said, "Yesterday I saw you talking to Brother Kuang for a long time. Brother Kuang is also a good person. I can feel that. But...but I am worried that you will be deceived. I have seen many newcomers like you before. In the end, they were deceived and stayed in the script world forever."
