Mr. Feng Shui of the Republic of China

The house leak coincided with the continuous night rain, at this moment, the sky suddenly began to rain.

A group of people only got shelter from the rain in a cave not far away.

The cave was very deep, and everyone walked in for a while, and found a flat and dry place to settle down.

This time it was thanks to Xia Jingrui who smoked and had matches with him.

Xia Jingsheng and Sun Wenxi worked together to pile up the firewood. Under the light of the fire, everyone had different expressions.

Xia Jingrui had always been pampered, how could he have endured such hardship, now he was stuck on the mountain, feeling very unhappy, the soles of his shoes rubbed against the sand and stones in the cave, making ear-piercing noises.

The two ladies were drenched in the rain, and their faces were slightly pale, but fortunately, they were calm.

Sun Wenxi fiddled with the firewood to make the fire burn hotter: "Let's rest here for the night, tonight the men will be on duty in three shifts."

Upon hearing this, Xia Jingrui yelled, "I...I will choose the first class."

The first shift is the most advantageous, and you can sleep peacefully until dawn after the shift is over.

Sun Wenxi didn't see through his wishful thinking, but just said: "Then I'm on the second shift."

The second shift is the most tiring. They have to be woken up again after falling asleep, and they can't sleep well all night.

Everyone agreed that after eating dry food, they began to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, Sun Wenxi heard the sound of drums and gongs beating in the distance.

After a while, Xia Jingrui was heard shouting, "Kaiqing is gone!"

Sun Wenxi shuddered and woke up.At this moment, there were only four people left in the cave. He Kaiqing's backpack was placed on the ground, but no one was there.

"Where are people?" Sun Wenxi asked.

"I... I don't know. I was so tired that I fell asleep. I was still there before going to sleep, but when I woke up..." Xia Jingrui explained in a low voice, knowing that he was wrong.

Xia Jingsheng took a match and struck it three times in a row where He Kaiqing had been sleeping, but failed to strike.

"It's silent, it's more ominous than good." Xia Jingsheng looked at Xia Jingrui solemnly, "Did anything strange happen when you went up the mountain today?"

"Strange thing?" Xia Jingrui scratched his head.

Duan Yilian who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "We met a very strange old man."

After parting from Xia Jingsheng and Sun Wenxi, the three of them climbed for a while, He Kaiqing focused on chasing Sun Wenxi, but was suddenly bumped into by someone.

It was an old man who looked dry and thin, wearing a big flowered dress that didn't fit well.

"The first time I saw the old man, I felt very uncomfortable. The clothes he was wearing were nondescript, too festive, like a jacket worn at a wedding."

After Duan Yilian mentioned this, Xia Jingrui also remembered: "Yes, there is such an old man. That old man is so strange, his eyes are staring straight at people, and he is infiltrating."

After all, He Kaiqing came from a wealthy family, and even apologized to the old man for bumping into someone.

Duan Yilian said: "I was close to Kaiqing, and I heard the old man say something, niece."

Xia Jingsheng frowned when he heard this, "Did that person ask for his name?"

"Yes, the old man asked Kai Qing's name."

Seeing Xia Jingsheng's unhappy expression, Sun Wenxi asked softly, "Who is that old man?"

"The one He Kaiqing bumped into was a Yin relative."

Yin relatives, also known as ghost marriage, unmarried boys and girls die unexpectedly, and the elders in the family hold a ghost marriage ceremony for them to prevent the family from being in peace.

Ghost marriage is a mixture of red and white things, and there are many ritual taboos.

"The old man is not wearing a wedding dress, but a shroud." Xia Jingsheng frowned, "He Kaiqing was taken away by that thing."

The mountain is so big, and there are countless fork roads and trails. For a while, everyone was helpless.

At dawn, everyone set out to find He Kaiqing's whereabouts.

Fortunately, this time they did not encounter the fog barrier again; unfortunately, there was a whole steep slope in front of them, but the stone steps they had come from were missing.

Xia Jingsheng took out his whip and hooked it to a tree in the mountain. The whip was like a strong knot that people could pull down.

Sun Wenxi has practiced freehand rock climbing abroad, so it is no problem to deal with such a steep slope, but a weak woman like Duan Yilian does not have enough arm strength.

In the end, she was brought down on Sun Wenxi's back.

Xia Jingrui's clean clothes were already dusty by now, and he didn't have the vigor he had when he came here. He opened his mouth and cursed: "What's the matter with this broken mountain? There is still a way to come, but there is no way to go down the mountain."

Just as they were talking, there was a sound of footsteps behind them. It was an old woman in plain clothes.

Seeing them coming down the steep slope, they couldn't help but widen their eyes, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

"It's a crime...how did you go there?" The old woman's hand on crutches trembled slightly.

Xia Jingsheng sized up the old man and asked in confusion, "We accidentally went wrong, why, is there any problem there?"

"That's where the ghost hall haunts, you can't go there." The old woman said tremblingly.

"You young children are really lucky. This mountain is not clean. Young men and women enter the mountain, and accidents are easy to happen."

It turns out that all this stems from a rumor that in the early years, there was a wealthy family on the mountain, whose daughter unfortunately fell ill and died young.

The daughter's father wanted to make a yin marriage for her, so he asked someone to find a young man from a poor family, and planned to let the young man marry his daughter, so that it would be easier to help her from now on.

Unexpectedly, everything went well at first, but an accident happened on the wedding day, a landslide happened, and the whole wedding party was buried.

Since then, the old wealthy businessman often took his "horsemen" to look for his "daughter" on the mountain. This is the rumored ghost hall.Because someone always saw Ghost Gaotang on the mountain, that place was listed as a restricted area.

"Look, there is still a sign here." The old woman pointed to the bottom of the steep slope.

Sure enough, there was a wooden sign standing there, on which it was written: "Forbidden place in the mountains, pedestrians are not allowed to go."

In order to prevent pedestrians from going up, there are no stone steps on that steep slope at all, and naturally no pedestrians will climb up it on purpose.

Xia Jingsheng helped the old woman aside to rest: "Old man, what's the matter with that ghost Gaotang looking for his daughter?"

"The old rich merchant's daughter is gone, and he is looking for someone to marry his daughter. Whenever unmarried men and women go up the mountain, the woman will be taken away first. If the woman is interested in the man, the man will also be taken away."

As she said that, the old woman looked at Sun Wenxi: "Here, just like him, the young man is so handsome, what do you call him?"

Sun Wenxi was startled when he heard the words, and subconsciously looked at Xia Jingsheng who was at the side.

Seeing Xia Jingsheng nodded slightly, he responded, "Sun Wenxi."

The old woman laughed immediately after hearing this: "Okay, okay...you have to be careful..."

As he said that, when he came, he walked away alone on crutches.

Xia Jingrui didn't know the legends in the mountains before, and he still had some guts, but now that he knew, his face turned pale, and he said in two voices: "Let's go down the mountain quickly and inform the police station about this matter."

Xia Jingsheng stared at the old woman's back coldly: "I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."

Sun Wenxi nodded and said, "That old woman just now, isn't she human?"

There were shadows under the feet of everyone present, but no matter where the old woman stood, there was no shadow under her feet.It was obvious that the old woman was not human at all.

"Indeed, she is not human." Xia Jingsheng said, "Her story is well told, but unfortunately one detail was overlooked. The name Gui Gaotang does not refer to one person, but two. From the beginning to the end of the story, There was one who never showed up."

Duan Yilian also understood: "It's the girl's mother, the old woman just now is the girl's mother."

Xia Jingrui turned pale with fright, and remembered that the old woman asked Sun Wenxi's name just now, and said in surprise: "She must be, she wants to do something to Young Master Sun."

Xia Jingsheng turned his head and looked up and down Sun Wenxi's face.

As the person involved, Sun Wenxi smiled calmly at this moment: "Does it look good?"

Xia Jingsheng: ...

Xia Jingrui didn't have such a good psychological quality as Sun Wenxi, he really wanted to leave this ghostly place.

But as Xia Jingsheng said, even if they walked along the mountain road, the road seemed to have no end, no matter how they walked, they could not reach the end.

After arguing for a long time, they were still circling in the mountains.

Xia Jingrui complained lazily: "It doesn't mean that the fog barrier is broken, why is it still like this?"

Xia Jingsheng was calm: "You can understand that all of this is a trick set up by ghosts, so is the fog barrier, the cave, and even the warning sign on the side of the steep slope. Even the stone on your buttocks... ..."

Xia Jingrui stood up in a panic, feeling that the ground under his feet was scalding hot, there was nowhere to live.

Sun Wenxi naturally took over Xia Jingrui's position: "What should I do?"

From the moment Xia Jingsheng signaled Sun Wenxi to tell Gui Gaotang his name, Sun Wenxi knew that Xia Jingsheng had a countermeasure in mind.

"The person who bumped into the yin kiss has no sense and will only follow orders. The only way to rescue He Kaiqing is to destroy the yin kiss ceremony, and what you have to do is to restore He Kaiqing's mind before the coffin is buried. "

Sun Wenxi's fate is invulnerable to ghosts, and ordinary soul calling is useless to him, so he will not lose his mind.

Xia Jingsheng took out a piece of yellow paper from his sleeve, made a talisman on the spot, and handed it to Sun Wenxi.

"This is the Soul Awakening Talisman. When the time comes for the joint burial, stick the talisman paper on He Kaiqing's forehead, and she will wake up." Xia Jingsheng then handed a purple kit to Sun Wenxi.

"This is a special peace talisman, and it can help you escape when the evil spirits are powerful."

Sun Wenxi's eyes flashed: "Don't look at me so calm on the face, but I am also panicking in my heart."

Xia Jingsheng patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Bring this box of matches, be careful in everything, trust me."
