for evil

Sheyang County is located in the north of Huaihe River, a corner of Pianan. It has been a small county like a wild crane since ancient times.The small county town is not very prosperous, not considered rich, but it is definitely not dilapidated. The people in the county have always been honest and responsible. A family of three acres of land each manages their own small life. The meaning of Xanadu.

In Sheyang County, there are many waters and few mountains. There is a place named "Jiulongkou", which is the confluence of nine winding rivers. It is said that in ancient times, a black python made waves here, and the Dragon King sent his Nine Dragons. The two sons and daughters surrendered the black dragon here, and finally bought the long-term peace here, and the river bend where the nine streams meet has become a witness of this...

No one knows whether this good story is reliable, but recently there is another story in Jiulongkou, to be precise, it is a horror story, because it is said that someone saw a ghost here.

"That day I came here to look for some herbal medicine. It was dusk when I came here. After searching for a while, the sky became a little darker, so I couldn't see it clearly, but I saw a figure, and that person flashed silently. Shem then disappeared behind the tree. I was a little curious, so I looked over. Although the lakeside was lush with vegetation, the figure was nowhere to be seen. At first I didn't think much about it, but then I heard that there was another place on the bank of the river. The Peng family couple on one side said that because there is a rice field not far from the river bank, the old man Peng likes to sleep on a bed by the river in this summer. It is cool and can guard his rice field. I also mentioned that I saw a black shadow flashing here, and then I fell ill. The fortune teller at the street said that I am afraid that some evil spirits are attracted here, so it is better not to get close to this place. If you spread it ten times and ten times it spreads it to a hundred, there will be fewer people coming here."

"What about you? Are you not afraid?"

The scholar raised his head: "I don't talk about strange powers, I don't believe in these monsters and ghosts, and I have never done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid that some of them will be gone... But Daoist, there shouldn't be any truth here. Is there any evil here?" The scholar turned his head and looked at the breezy Taoist beside him and asked.

The Taoist priest smiled purely and warmly: "And you said you weren't afraid?"

The scholar said: "After all, you are a cultivator, and you came here after traveling thousands of miles, just because of a pretentious rumor... You are not proficient in divination, so you must have noticed something? For example, you have noticed some kind of evil spirit. Category?"

The Taoist priest looked at the snow-white whisk in his hand: "I don't know the art of divination. I just traveled here and heard rumors by accident...so I wanted to come and have a look..."

The scholar breathed a sigh of relief in an instant: "So that's how it is..." After thinking for a while, he said: "However, it's getting late today, why don't you come back tomorrow, otherwise I'm afraid there will be no place to rest."

The Taoist said: "Didn't you say that the black shadow often appears at night? Wouldn't it be better to wait here at night?"

The scholar looked at the man's spotless Taoist robe and said, "...just wronged the Taoist priest."

"A person who cultivates the Tao uses the sky as his quilt and the earth as his bed, so there is nothing to worry about."

The scholar said: "It turns out that the Taoist priest likes to travel around?"

There was more sorrow in the eyes of the priest: "At first I didn't like it, but later, in order to find someone..."

The scholar looked at the Taoist leader in surprise, and he knew something in his heart: he seemed to be untouched by the mundane world, but he was also a person who could not escape the world, but he didn't know what kind of person he was, so that the Taoist priest couldn't even make a shadow of him. Don't let it go, come here to take a look at every rumor?Is it an enemy?Or a long-lost friend?Or lover?

The scholar couldn't see any clues from this long and calm face, and felt that he was a bit gossip, looked at the sky, and remembered his mother's instructions, so he pointed to the lake in front of him and said: "Before I was The black shadow seen here."

The Taoist priest nodded: "Thank you, little friend."

The scholar said: "You're welcome, but is the Taoist priest sure you want to stay here?"

The priest nodded firmly.

The scholar stopped persuading, leaving a sentence of "be careful in everything", and left in a hurry.

Seeing the scholar leave, Mu Qing found a grassy beach and sat down, staring at the long water surface in a daze, unconsciously recalling in her mind when she was in Pengcheng, she was sitting by the Yellow River in the same way. , but there was another person beside him at that time, and his mood was different from the past... So many years have passed in a blink of an eye...

The sky gradually darkened, the wind blowing brought some coolness, the singing of birds weakened, and the faint chirping of insects sounded around, and the cries of frogs by the lake ebbed and flowed. lonely.

Mu Qing looked at the lake calmly, and didn't know what was going on in her heart, just like that, quietly watching...

The Jiulongkou at night is not as scary as the scholar said, the moonlight shines on the lake, and the moonlight against it is quiet and moving, but it is also a bit pleasant.Mu Qing suddenly felt that it was a pity to appreciate such a scenery by herself...

Mu Qing sat there for an unknown period of time in a daze, and suddenly his body trembled, because he found that not far from him in front of him, under a thick willow tree, he did not know when he would also be sitting there. A person got off, that person was dressed in a black robe, completely covering his head and body, just like Mu Qing, staring at the lake in a daze, not knowing when he came...

The vision at night is different from the daytime, even with the moonlight shining, it is always difficult for people to distinguish the real from the fake, not to mention that the man is wearing a black robe.But Mu Qing knew that there was indeed a person sitting under the tree, just like himself, looking at the rare silent moonlight.

Maybe this person is the ghost that the scholar said?I thought I would have to wait for a while, but I didn't expect to see it today. I am afraid that this person often sits here, blending himself with the night, looking at the lake.

Mu Qing's heart beat faster, he got up lightly, walked towards that place quietly, tried his best not to make any movement, not to disturb him, but the closer he got, the faster his heart beat, the secret hidden in his heart The unexplainable feelings are getting bigger and bigger...

But after all, the sound of footsteps touching the blades of grass still disturbed the man, the black figure became alert, and suddenly disappeared.

Mu Qing hurried to catch up, but there was no black figure in front of the willow tree anymore. Mu Qing looked around, but everything was silent, as if everything was his own illusion.

But Mu Qing knew that it was not an illusion, that figure actually existed...

Mu Qing looked around unwillingly, and when he finally knew that the man had indeed left, the loss in his heart was magnified, and he stood there with a faint sigh.

Suddenly, Mu Qing was attracted by a touch of green on the ground, the calmness in his eyes was finally shattered in an instant, first he was surprised, then convinced, and then lost and regained... Mu Qing picked up the jasper that fell into the mud Put the gourd in the palm of your hand and look at it carefully, your slender hands are trembling uncontrollably...

A gust of wind came from the surroundings, and a black figure suddenly burst out from the forest, rushing towards Mu Qing at an extremely fast speed.

A withered and rotten hand stretched out towards Mu Qing, aiming at the jasper gourd in his palm.Seeing the man's intentions, Mu Qing quickly clenched her fist and hid it behind her back. The withered palm brushed across the back of Mu Qing's fair hand and flew away.

The black shadow seemed unwilling, and turned back to snatch it away, Mu Qing also turned around to face him head-on.

The sudden attack of the man in black stopped when he met Mu Qing's front door, his figure flashed, and he disappeared in the darkness for a moment and never appeared again.

The man's face was not very obvious under the cover of the black robe, but Mu Qing's eyes completely caught the expression of his sudden panic and panic, causing ripples in his heart...
