"clang!"

The curved sickle slashed straight down.

Ruan Yang only felt a gust of cold wind cut against his cheek, and cut at his left foot.

Seeing that the blow was impossible, the crazy woman showed no shame or anger, and easily lifted the tip of the sickle embedded in the ground, and forced Ruan Yang, who was retreating fiercely, with a "hehehehaha" smile.

"Old Shen!"

Ruan Yang yelled at the door as a warning, but heard a low growl of a local dog from outside the door.The old wooden door was knocked open, and Old Shen hopped in with his pants up.

No wonder I didn't hear the bark of the earth dog. It turned out that the earth dog showed its sharp teeth and bit Lao Shen's trousers tightly and dragged it down, forcing Lao Shen to hold his trousers firmly with both hands, lest he be naked at the age streaking.

When Ruan Yang saw this scene, he was angry and funny, but there was a cold wind chasing him.

The silver light flashed across the dim room, and Ruan Yang subconsciously raised Lao Shen's cloth bag to block it.

"Bang!"

The silver sickle pierced the cloth pocket directly, and the pointed sickle pointed directly at Ruan Yang's eyeballs.At this time, as long as the crazy woman presses down with more strength, Ruan Yang will definitely lose one eye.

At the critical moment, Ruan Yang directly raised his foot and kicked him regardless of his gentlemanly demeanor.Unexpectedly, the crazy woman is not only crazy, but also has greater brute force. Although she took a few steps back with a sickle in her hand, she happened to step on Lao Shen's hand that was holding his trousers, causing Lao Shen to yell "Wow--".

Afraid of attracting other people, Lao Shen immediately covered his mouth and swung the crazy woman's legs away.

The crazy woman took advantage of the situation to press on Lao Shen's body, with her elbows tightly pressed against Lao Shen's throat, and the sickle in her hand still did not let go.

Ruan Yang didn't dare to let go of Lao Shen's torn pocket. Although there was a hole in the pocket, the things in the pocket were Lao Shen's lifeblood. Losing it was like losing something to eat.

Because Ruan Yang didn't let go of the torn bag, he was dragged by the crazy woman and fell on Lao Shen.Lao Shen's old bones were crushed to pieces, and his internal organs were in pain like bursting.

"I'm sorry, Old Shen!"

Ruan Yang apologized, clamped the madwoman's lower limbs with both feet, twisted the torn bag violently, and spun it a few times, forcing the madwoman who was holding the sickle tightly in both hands to let go of the sickle.

"Tut tsk tsk, Xiao Nuanyang, this move is not bad!" A Qiang, who came late, went to wander around the village before, and when he came in a hurry, he saw the three of Ruan Yang piled up together, and clapped his hands to express his praise.

Ruan Yang helped Lao Shen, whose waist was almost broken, to get up, glared at A Qiang, and then scanned the room, but there was no sign of the crazy woman.

"How did you run so fast?" Ruan Yang asked.

"It's a terrible thing, can't you hurry up?" Ah Qiang blew negative air at Ruan Yang to scare him, "As soon as the scythe was released, she immediately ran towards the base of the wall and disappeared like a rabbit."

"Why don't you help me catch her!" Ruan Yang complained.

"I want to flex my muscles and show you how good I am as a melee fighter, but your family professor Ying won't allow it!"

It was the first time Ruan Yang heard Ah Qiang mention Professor Ying, and asked curiously, "What does he mean?"

"As long as you can't die or get hurt, don't do anything, your family Professor Ying said." A Qiang never tires of secretly provoking the relationship between Ruan Yang and Ying Shuhuai.

Ruan Yang was not fooled at all as always, and pouted: "Don't speak ill of him, I know what he means." His Professor Ying just hoped that he could be on his own sooner, so he didn't know what method to use to coerce Ah Qiang to temporarily give up reincarnation , stay by your side.

Ruan Yang used his mobile phone to light up the corner of the wall where the mad woman disappeared. With his finger on the corner, he tapped on the ground to the left and right, and suddenly he felt a small sunken groove and pulled it up.

"Squeak!"

A secret door stained with dust was pulled open, revealing a dark hole in the ground.

Ruan Yang and the old Shen who was leaning over looked at each other: "Go down?"

Old Shen took out a small firecracker from his ripped pocket, wiped it on the box, and threw it into the dark hole.

"Bah-"

The small firecracker ignited a red flame, fell silently into the hole, and fell to the bottom of the hole within a second.Ruan Yang took a look, and saw the situation at the bottom of the cave clearly by the red firelight, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Ruan Yang jumped into the cave first, took a piece of butter wax from Lao Shen, and took a photo in the direction of the cave extension.

Butter wax is made from the fat extracted from cows and the tears of cows. Like wicker smoke, it can make ghosts appear.It seems that Old Shen was so anxious by the pressure just now that he took out all the precious butter wax.

When the butter wax is lit, it will emit an oily fragrance, but it still cannot cover up the stench and foul smell in the cave.

Ruan Yang held up the butter wax to illuminate the road ahead, and the jade bell on his chest did not heat up as a warning.Ruan Yang said to Lao Shen who was following behind: "When the crazy woman attacked me just now, I could kick her body. She is alive."

Old Shen felt very ashamed of being oppressed by a woman. He gritted his teeth and said, "You have to say! I'm afraid that the living and the dead will join forces, what can't be done?"

Ruan Yang rubbed the tip of his nose resentfully, and continued, "Before entering Shizigou, this woman hid in that tree crown. I smelled a bloody smell at that time, which was exactly the same as the smell in this cave."

Old Shen poked the soil under his feet with his toes, and kicked out a hard round object.Ruan Yang illuminated it with a butter candle, and it turned out to be a chicken head with dried blood.Look at the neck of the chicken, the section is uneven, as if it was bitten off by teeth.

Ruan Yang swallowed hard, kicked the chicken head aside, and continued walking forward.All the way in the burrow were bits of poultry bones, feathers, or blood.Some blood was smeared on the roof of the cave, and some stained the soil under the feet red.

Folks in Shizigou have always felt that this crazy woman is elusive. Who would have imagined that the crazy woman basically lived in this cave?

"Look down!"

Ruan Yang said to Lao Shen.

Old Shen Yiyan turned his head, but moved his gaze upwards, and saw a hen hanging upside down in front of him.The hen's two paws were entangled with the rope, and the chicken's neck was cut with a knife. The blood of the chicken was dripping down, which should have been cut not long ago.

It seems that Ruan Yang's midnight visit interrupted the crazy woman's dinner.

The hole twisted and turned, and finally came to an end.With a push of his hand, Old Shen pushed away the thatched pile of cover, and got out of the hole.

Ruan Yang blew on the butter wax, followed by removing the thatch pile, and when he got out, he found that the exit of the cave was actually a mass grave.

Ah Qiang whistled loudly: "Oh, so it's connected to this place. When I was strolling around tonight, I found that this place is the most sinister, but there are no lonely ghosts to make friends with."

"The Mass Burial Mound belongs to Yin, and it is a secluded place where lonely ghosts live. How could they not find a single ghost?" Ruan Yang asked suspiciously.

"The strangest thing is here. I can't find a single ghost. The yin energy is still so heavy. Do you think there are any ghosts?" Ah Qiang said in a tongue twister, floating ahead to lead the way leisurely. "There is a tomb with the most yin energy." , take a look."

Ruan Yang carefully walked around the clumps of weeds, and heard "Ah-ah-ah-" again.

When I looked up, I saw a crow sitting on a tree next to it, calling a few times desolately.

"What? Is it the one in the small dirt yard?" Seeing that Ruan Yang stopped, Old Shen asked.

"Old Shen, you are too flattering my memory. The world is as black as crows, how can I recognize whether it is the same one?"

Ruan Yang replied helplessly, and followed Ah Qiang to stop in front of a cemetery.Cremation is practiced later in the countryside, and this is a tomb with a relatively rough burial.The weeds on the tomb are not as high as those next to it, and it is not near the Spring Festival or Qingming Festival. It can be seen that relatives in this cemetery often come to clean up, but they are not cleaned very seriously.

It's like pulling out the weeds a few times when you think about it, so that there are pinches of grass on the grave head and pinches here and there, some are long and some are short.

The tombstone is also very simple, just a piece of irregularly shaped stone slab, with a name engraved with a sharp object, and the handwriting is still a bit scribbled.

Taking advantage of the dim moonlight, Ruan Yang leaned forward and saw the words "Wu Zhengguo".

When Ruan Yang was about to check carefully for other words on the slate, the jade bell on his chest became hot.Ruan Yang got up suddenly, held the jade bell and quickly looked around. Dots of faint blue will-o'-the-wisps were scattered all over the mass grave, beating and flickering, giving the illusion that the will-o'-the-wisps were consciously moving far and near.

Old Shen fastened the ragged bag that had just been torn, pasted a piece of talisman paper on the hole, and held the mahogany sword tightly with the other hand, vigilantly feeling the direction of the wind beside him.

"Yeah - yah - yah -"

There are more and more crows sitting on the tree, jumping from one branch to another unwilling to be lonely on the dry tree branches, their crows are getting more and more desolate, making people shiver uncontrollably.

Ruan Yang tightened his coat, and suddenly felt that the temperature in the mass grave had dropped several degrees.The shadows of the trees are graceful, and the shadows of the graves are heavy. The wind blows the fallen leaves and floats them, and the grass also rustles against the ground.

The stillness happened the moment Ruan Yang blinked.

The crows flying densely around the dead tree suddenly stopped on the branches, and the voices that had been screaming "Yah Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Yaaaah" were hoarse and quiet for an instant.Ruan Yang's heart was raised immediately by the silent and solemn appearance, and he and Old Shen retreated to the side of the path.

A light blue light faintly glows from the mass grave.Ruan Yang looked over there, and two men in ancient costumes and tall hats came over with a lantern each.The cyan light is emanating from the lantern.

Two people with lanterns lead the way, and while holding the lanterns, they sprinkle white paper money into the sky.Followed by a group of people dressed as ancient servants, some with sharp long knives, some with barbed long whips, surrounded a group of men, women and children with different faces and different costumes, facing towards Come here.

"It's not good, the Yin soldiers excused themselves and retreated quickly." Old Shen shouted with a low voice, dragging Ruan Yang to the back of Wu Zhengguo's grave.

Old Shen patted the head of the grave lightly, and murmured in a low voice: "We met by chance, and I asked this old man to borrow a treasure for the two of us to hide. After the Yin soldiers pass, I will send a tribute paper money to thank my old brother."

Ruan Yang read in the book given by Lao Shen that there are three situations in which Yin soldiers make excuses.One is the old battlefields in ancient times. The soldiers who died in battle remained loyal and their ghosts lingered, and they would revisit the situation on the battlefield from time to time;Due to the large number of dead souls, we had to use the way of the yang world; the third type is between ghosts and ghosts, fighting in the yang world.

Generally, Yin soldiers' excuses will only happen in remote places with strong Yin Qi.Tonight's Shizigou Mass Burial Mound just happens to meet this geographical condition.

Ruan Yang huddled by the tomb, saw that Aqiang also lowered his body, almost touching the ground, and said strangely: "Why don't you..."

Ah Qiang gave Ruan Yang a white look: "I left the back door to stay in the Yang world. Isn't it easy to arouse the public anger of other souls by being too ostentatious?"

Ruan Yang choked, and suddenly thought of Ying Shuhuai.For so long, Ruan Yang has always thought that Ying Shuhuai is a celestial master, but he always feels that ghosts will feel fear in his soul and uncontrollable surrender in front of him, and even deal with the laws of the underworld in many things , Is this really just a powerful celestial master?

But right now, Ruan Yang couldn't afford to think too much, because the Yin soldiers had already floated to Wu Zhengguo's grave with their dead souls.Every dead soul has dull eyes, drifting forward in a wooden manner under the guidance of the blue light lantern.

The white paper money flying all over the sky scattered all over the place, and some of them even fell on the tip of Ruan Yang's nose.Ruan Yang held his breath, his body remained motionless, and he didn't dare to turn his head when he heard any sound.

There was a gust of wind blowing in front of him, and out of the corner of Ruan Yang's eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a white shadow crawling past.Because Bai Ying's posture was so conspicuous, Ruan Yang raised his eyes slightly, and suddenly tightened his palms, grabbing a handful of grave soil.

He was very familiar with that white shadow, and he had been in close contact with them before.

The little paper figurine cut out of thin white paper paused, apparently also spotted Ruan Yang and Lao Shen lying on their stomachs behind the grave.The little paper figurine tilted its small head and opened its mouth slightly. When it wanted to say something, its small eyes glanced at the mighty army of Yin soldiers. It seemed that it had scruples, but in the end it still didn't speak.

Of course, even if it really spoke, Ruan Yang, who was not its owner, would not be able to hear what it said.

The little paper figurines are light and fluffy, and they are unobtrusively mixed in the white paper money.The little paper figurine seemed to keep its master's instructions in mind, turned away from looking at Ruan Yang and the two, and continued to crawl forward, following the Yin soldiers all the way.

There are tens of thousands of paper figurines in the world, all of which are similar in shape, so Ruan Yang can be sure that these are the little paper figurines cut out by Guan Hanshi when he saw their reactions.However, Guan Hanshi actually came to Shizigou at this time?What is he here for?

"Ding ding ding dong."

Ruan Yang heard the sound of metal clashing in the ears of the souls escorted by the Yin soldiers wearing handshakes and shackles.The sound was long and long, as if it came from far away.Ruan Yang lowered his head even lower, but heard rustling voices behind him.

When it rings in the middle of the night, remember not to look back.Turning around, the lamp goes out, and the yin and yang are separated.

Ruan Yang straightened his neck, staring at the grave in front of him, his heartbeat gradually amplified in his ears.

A palm like ice slowly climbed onto Ruan Yang's shoulder, and the chill spread from the palm to Ruan Yang's bones, piercing like dozens of long silver needles.

"Yang Qi? Or such delicious Yang Qi?" The cold breath lingered in Ruan Yang's ears, and the thing behind him was close at hand.

Out of the corner of Ruan Yang's eyes, he looked at Lao Shen who was also lying on his stomach. Lao Shen held his breath and concentrated on watching the advancing Yin soldiers, not aware of any movement on his side.

The yin lingering around the ear is getting heavier and there are signs of spreading to other parts of the body.Ruan Yang still didn't dare to move, holding back his numb scalp, and dug his fingers into the grave in front of him.

Just as Ruan Yang was about to grab a handful of grave soil and throw it back, the Yin Qi spreading to his neck suddenly let out a sharp and distorted cry as if being scalded by something.The chill quickly evacuated from Ruan Yang's body.

The marching Yin soldiers stopped suddenly, and the cold expressions on the faces of all the Yin soldiers did not fluctuate at all, as if time had just frozen suddenly.The two Yin soldiers carrying blue lanterns in front turned their heads and floated to Wu Zhengguo's grave, looking down at the two lying on their stomachs with blue-grey faces.

One of the Yin soldiers spoke, his voice was like a cold machine sound, without tone, without hesitation: "The Yin soldiers borrow the way, and everything is not close. Who is making such noise here? Can't wait to follow Huangquan Road for a tour?"

Ruan Yang felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and rushed backwards quickly.

I didn't see how the Yin soldiers carrying the blue lanterns moved, but when Ruan Yang came back to his senses, he saw that a soul chasing lock had tightly tied up a strand of soul and fell on the grave.

That ray of soul rushed left and right, but couldn't break out of the encirclement no matter what.With a wave of the lantern in Yin Soldier's hand, the soul was drawn out, and floated into the Yin Soldier team along with the blue light emitted by the lantern.Then there was another ray in the team of dead souls whose eyes were dull and numb.

Old Shen was so nervous that he pressed Ruan Yang's hand. He didn't know what happened to Ruan Yang, but the soldiers of the yin made excuses that the people in the yang world had no intention of colliding with each other. At least, he would suffer a serious illness, and at worst, he would die within a few days.Right now, the Yin soldiers are attacking directly in front of them, which is no longer within the scope of unintentional collisions.

The blue light lantern got closer and closer, almost getting close to Ruan Yang's face.The jade bell on Ruan Yang's chest was burning violently, as if it was about to tear through his jacket and float up.

"what?"

This was the first time Ruan Yang heard a strong change in tone from the sneering soldier tonight, even though it was only one word.

Ah Qiang floated up, and his voice was unprecedentedly cold: "Since you saw it, don't you hurry up?"

The two yin soldiers immediately bowed respectfully to the end, and retreated back to the yin soldier team.As time thawed, white paper money was scattered one after another, and the sound of handshakes and fetters sounded, and disappeared in the depths of the mass grave in a blink of an eye.

On the dead tree not far away, the silent group of crows seemed to have regained their vitality, flapping their wings one after another to fly away from the dead tree and into the depths of the woods.

Ruan Yang helped Old Shen get up, and patted the grave soil stained on his body.Ruan Yang looked at the direction where the Yin soldiers disappeared, and somehow felt that the Yin soldiers left a lot faster.

Old Shen asked, "What happened just now?"

Ruan Yang was frightened for a while: "A wild ghost suddenly appeared from behind and tried to extinguish the lamp on my shoulder. It seemed to be scalded by a jade bell, which alarmed the Yin soldiers."

Ruan Yang pinched the jade bell that had returned to normal temperature and asked Aqiang: "What happened just now?"

Ah Qiang rolled his eyes and put his hips on his hips, very arrogantly: "I'm so majestic. When the Yin soldiers saw that I was there, they immediately ran away in fright."

Ruan Yang questioned: "Then who was lying on the stomach and saying to keep a low profile?"

Ah Qiang's mouth shadow: "There is no conflict between my prestige and my low-key behavior."

Ruan Yang snorted contemptuously, knowing in his heart that Ah Qiang was hiding something by talking nonsense, since he didn't want to say it, it would be futile for Ruan Yang to ask further, so he just stopped here.

Judging by the attitude of the Yin soldiers at the time, Ruan Yang didn't have to worry that he and Lao Shen would perish within a few days, it's just that...

Ruan Yang stroked the jade bell with two fingers, his eyes narrowed slightly, thinking in his heart that this jade bell might have a meaning and function that Old Shen didn't even know.

Ruan Yang looked at his hands, which were covered with grave dirt because of nervousness.I patted it lightly, and suddenly smelled a familiar bloody smell, exactly the same as the bloody smell in the mad woman's burrow.

Ruan Yang rubbed the grave soil on his palm with his fingertips, and a faint red streak appeared.Surprised, he spread his palm in front of Old Shen.Old Shen took a pinch from Ruan Yang's palm and put it in front of his nose, sniffed it carefully, and said, "It seems that the person buried in this tomb has a lot to do with the mad woman."

"It's her husband who died early." Ruan Yang took over the words, "When I was at Laogou Chang's house, I talked to Laogou Chang's wife. The crazy woman's child is named Wu Tong, which means taking a phoenix to live in. The owner of this grave is Wu Zhengguo , that's right."

Ruan Yang moved his eyes to the left, and saw a slightly smaller mound, without a tombstone, but very close to Wu Zhengguo's grave.There is a legend in the countryside that a child who dies accidentally cannot set up a tombstone, for fear that the child will think that the tomb with his name is his own home, and linger here instead of reincarnation.

Old Shenyin pondered for a long time, took out his compass and circled around Wu Zhengguo's tomb several times, staring at the pointer for a while under the moonlight that was not too bright, and then said: "Stinky boy, dig the grave."

"Eh..." Ruan Yang trembled, not daring to look at the words Wu Zhengguo on the tombstone, "So rude? Just dig people's graves?"

"Take soil as the eastbound route, Jin guards the west side, and the south side has water, fire seals the North Road, and wood is the middle eye. One of the checkpoints in the desperate game is soil as the eastbound route. If you use the dirt yard of the crazy woman as a reference, this The grave happens to be on the east side." Old Shen handed Ruan Yang a small retractable shovel, "Go ahead. If my guess is correct, only part of Wu Zhengguo's body is buried in this grave."

Ruan Yang's eyes once again recalled Yuan Wenxiong's anomalies every time a mad woman was mentioned, and resigned himself to his fate, he and Lao Shen dug up the grave, one left and one right.

Handfuls of grave soil were dug up, and there was no obstacle on the way down, as if there was no coffin buried in the tomb at all.The soil gradually became a little uneven, and Ruan Yang moved his hands, feeling that he had already dug it.

"Huh! Woof woof!"

At this time, the dirt dog that I had seen during the day jumped out of some grass, barked frantically, bit the shovel in Ruan Yang's hand, and dragged it out of the grave.

"Old Shen, watch out!" Ruan Yang threw away the shovel and shouted at Old Shen.

Old Shen was a man who had spent most of his life in the wind and rain, so he quickly rolled forward and fell directly into the grave.

The mad woman screamed, her eyes were bloodshot, and the curved sickle that had been chopped off was raised again, and when she saw that she was about to slash at Lao Shen's head, Lao Shen, in a hurry, grabbed something from the grave and went up block.

The curved sickle that the crazy woman slashed down was suspended in mid-air, staring at Old Shen in shock and anger, but did not dare to make other moves.

Ruan Yang looked over and saw that Old Shen was holding a white skull with two black holes in it, and there were some scattered fingers of different lengths under Lao Shen's feet.
