Celestial masters don't count

Zhang Xiaodao's eyelids twitched, and his heart skipped a beat, feeling deeply uneasy.

This feeling has only appeared three times in the past ten years, and each time it will encounter life-threatening danger.But because of this premonition, he escaped the danger, and he didn't expect this feeling to appear again in such a haunted house.

Zhang Xiaodao hesitated, frowning.

Liang Qingying asked him in a low voice: "Why don't you leave?"

Zhang Xiaodao suddenly raised his head and said, "Let's leave, don't go in. I have an ominous premonition."

Zhang Xiaodao's expression was too serious, and there was still fear in his eyes looking at No. 114.Liang Qingying knew that some celestial masters had the ability to foresee danger in advance, Zhang Xiaodao's current attitude only changed in an instant, but it was enough to make her nervous.

And, to be honest, it wasn't just Zhang Xiaodao who felt uneasy.Even she was frightened by the dead silence in the alley, and her heart felt creepy.Looking at Room 114 with the locked door in front of you, it was like facing a giant beast, which would be swallowed immediately if you walked in.

The indecision between the two caught Xiaoyu's attention, and she called out loudly: "Liang Qingying, are you still here?"

Zhang Xiaodao walked over and said bluntly, "Are you all going in?"

Xiaoyu lowered his face and said displeasedly: "Everyone has arrived at the door, do you still want to go in? No, I said, if you are afraid, don't come in at first. Don't waste the quota, do you know how many people want to come in to play? You Men can't compare to the girls here? Okay, come to this point, if you back down. Okay, leave now. Haven't set foot in the door anyway."

Zhang Xiaodao looked at the others, and found that several of them looked eager to try.Obviously also dissatisfied with his behavior of retreating from the battle, several boys inside showed him a disdainful sneer.

Zhang Xiaodao said: "Aren't you afraid? Don't you feel that this place is very dark and evil?"

One of the boys said nonchalantly: "It's only from the evil sect. Why do you come from the non-evil sect?"

"That's right. Hey, don't waste your time, can you? Go in, or not?"

Zhang Xiaodao stared at them incredulously, and slowly calmed down.Scanning around, the few people who came didn't intend to back down.Knowing that it is dangerous and evil, but still barging in, I really don't know how to live or die.

Frowning, staring at the haunted house ahead.Brother Jiu said that as a celestial master, you must do what you can, and the most important thing is to save your life.He didn't care much about finding out the truth about the haunted house, but leaving now would be tantamount to throwing away the lives of several people.

He can't do it.

Sighing helplessly, "I'll go in with you."

Hearing this, the rest of the people looked away feeling bored.Xiao Yu muttered angrily: "Dawdling, like a woman."

Zhang Xiaodao resisted the urge to smack her, this woman really took advantage of money.Calling others a bitch, isn't she herself?Besides, no one else is as bold as her.

Liang Qingying stood beside him, a little worried.

Zhang Xiaodao said: "No way, let's go in and have a look. I hope my feeling is wrong."

The door of the haunted house No. 114 is locked, with a thick iron chain and a huge key on the doorknob.It can't be opened at all, but Xiaoyu has prepared in advance.She ordered several boys with her to move out a ladder to the wall from a corner.

"Fortunately, I was prepared. Hurry up and go up."

Twelve people climbed up the wall one after another, then moved the ladder up and put it inside, and climbed down the ladder.

As soon as Zhang Xiaodao climbed up the wall, he jumped straight down and landed on the grass. His ankle was stabbed by the weeds and a few small cuts were scratched.The grass was a bit soft and muddy, and when I looked down, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything.The weeds spread to the calf, very high.

He remembered that the past few days were sunny, there was no rain, and the air was very dry.

Looking up, the sky is almost half covered, only a corner is exposed.It turned out that the entire courtyard was covered by the branches of a big banyan tree, and the overwhelming branches and leaves made people breathless.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the feeling of uneasiness became more obvious.

The people behind fell to the ground, and there was a girl wearing a short skirt, complaining when her leg was cut by weeds.Someone shouted in surprise: "Hey, why is it so dark?"

"Yeah, couldn't you still see people outside the wall just now? Now you can only see a shadow."

"Can you stop being so evil? It's scary."

"Whether you can see it or not, hurry up. There are weeds all around, and the edge of the blade is too sharp. My calf has been scratched several times."

"What's so evil? Didn't you see that the top of your head was covered by something? Look over there, there is such a big banyan tree that has grown so lushly for hundreds of years. It is almost mature. It was dusk when we came here Come in, it’s covered by banyan trees, so it’s not normal that the light can’t penetrate and it’s dark? Walk, walk on the gravel road in front, the wild grass is full of insects, maybe there are snakes.”

A girl screamed angrily: "Why are you scary! Snakes are much scarier than ghosts."

A few people laughed and played around and left the grass.They all stood on the gravel road, and Xiaoyu arranged to go in and shoot in groups.

"A group of three, go in as a group. There are master bedroom, second bedroom, toilet, living room and kitchen, each of you choose one to go in and shoot. Don't play for too long, take a serious shot. Come back here to meet after you're done, hear?"

There were a few sparse responses, and then they all ran to form groups excitedly.Liang Qingying rejected Xiaoyu's invitation and followed Zhang Xiaodao unswervingly.

Xiaoyu greeted the others resentfully, and removed Liang Qingying's position as team leader as she planned to go back.

Several people were grouped together, and in the end there were only two people in Zhang Xiaodao's group, and there was one more.

Xiaoyu frowned: "Is there another one?" She scanned around and found a group of four people, so she shouted: "Come out individually, three in each group."

Those four people didn't move, they didn't want to be with Zhang Xiaodao.Probably because he felt that he was too timid and didn't want to be with him.In the end, A Xu came out and said, "I'll be with them."

That's allotted.

A Xu patted Zhang Xiaodao on the shoulder: "Dude, don't worry. I've said it's fine, so what about evil sects? Just don't harm anyone."

Zhang Xiaodao asked back: "How do you know you won't harm anyone?"

A Xu said: "The key point has already been killed, is it our turn to play this game?"

Zhang Xiaodao stopped talking, A Xu thought he had been persuaded so he stopped chatting with him, and struck up a conversation with Liang Qingying instead.Liang Qingying didn't have the heart to talk to him, she followed Zhang Xiaodao's footsteps.

Seeing this, A Xu felt a little uncomfortable.Why does the beauty look at such a coward?Is it the face?

Touching his face, A Xu felt that he was quite handsome.

Curling his lips, following the large army, those places where ghosts are prone to appear have been selected.Only the living room is left, which can only be reserved for Zhang Xiaodao and his group.

Everyone took out their mobile phones to illuminate, Zhang Xiaodao and the others were no exception.There was nothing in the living room, it was empty.The walls are very white and clean, but the floor is full of dust.There is no fan or air conditioner on the ceiling above the head. There is only a bumpy mottled block in the center, as if something was once installed and then removed.

A Xu felt that it was boring, there could be something in the empty living room.The fun and exciting places have been taken away.Dangling around, he went to Zhang Xiaodao, who was standing still, and looked up at the top of his head along the light. There were mottled lumps on it, and if he looked carefully, he could still see lines sunk in the cement wall.

"what is that?"

Zhang Xiaodao said, "Wires."

Liang Qingying also leaned over and asked, "Is there a problem here?"

A Xu answered quickly: "What's the problem? It's empty. Why don't we go to another place?"

Liang Qingying remained silent and ignored A Xu.

Zhang Xiaodao said: "The higher ups have died before."

A Xu and Liang Qingying took a big step back, away from the field.Zhang Xiaodao looked back at the two of them in puzzlement, and they smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Xiaodao pursed his lips: "There is nothing hanging on it."

A Xu took a small step forward, shaking his arms and laughing: "Really? I know, I can see it. I think the air here is good."

Zhang Xiaodao: "..."

Liang Qingying boldly asked, "What, what's going on?"

A Xu also pricked up his ears to listen.

Zhang Xiaodao said: "There used to be a girl who was scared to death and then hung herself on it."

A Xu looked up and shrank his shoulders.Horrific images and imaginations appeared in my mind, the hanged woman was wearing a skirt, and her neck had been strangled long ago.The tongue sticks out to the chest, which is extremely ferocious.He opened his eyes suddenly and stared at him.

His whole body trembled, and he was almost scared to pee by his own imagination.Liang Qingying cast her gaze, and A Xu immediately said stiffly: "Stop joking, the ceiling is not a beam, how can you hang someone?"

Zhang Xiaodao pointed at it with his finger up, and said, "There used to be an electric fan, but it was taken down as evidence later."

A Xu cursed lowly: "Damn, why can't I see that you are sluggish. Before you co-authored, you were all pretending to be a kid."

Liang Qingying leaned over and glanced at the ceiling cautiously, and asked, "Then...is it there? Is there something on it?"

Zhang Xiaodao: "No."

Liang Qingying: Then why did you turn the light of your phone on your head and stare at it as soon as you came in, without moving?

Zhang Xiaodao sighed: "It's the strangest thing without it."

Liang Qingying and A Xu didn't know why.

Zhang Xiaodao said: "The girl died abnormally at that time, she was frightened to death. Then she was hung on the top, the ground was covered with dust, and there was no footprint. In this case, she died in vain, or she might have been used as a substitute. The soul should Still there."

Not only those who were hanged, but also the family who moved in later, and the three who died later.There is also the thing that killed the girl and the family before, which exists in the haunted house of No. 114.

But here is very clean, very clean, nothing.

Although there is nothing, it is also full of weirdness.The uneasiness he felt at the door did not subside but became more and more intense after he entered.

Zhang Xiaodao moved his mobile phone and took photos on the wall, floor and corners: "Look, what's the difference?"

The two looked over with the light, but didn't react at first.Looking at it, Liang Qingying suddenly realized, and then her face was frightened.

Zhang Xiaodao said: "You can see it? It's very clean, right?"

A Xu belatedly said: "The walls are quite clean, but the floor is full of dust. It can't be said that it's particularly dry—" suddenly realized something, and immediately fell silent.

Zhang Xiaodao said meaningfully: "The walls and corners are very clean, but the floor is full of dust. It is unreasonable, right? No. 114 haunted house has been empty for more than ten years, and no one lives in it. It's got a thick layer of dust and spider silk."

A Xu swallowed, always feeling hairy on his back.He said with a dry smile: "This is the evil door. It just so happens that we can shoot, it's good."

He said it was fine, but didn't move his hand.

Zhang Xiaodao glanced at him, then looked away, and fell on the old banyan tree outside the window.

Liang Qingying said: "The evil door is weird, but there are no fierce ghosts - where did they go?"

Zhang Xiaodao didn't answer her question, because he didn't know either.But he suddenly asked, "Did we see that big banyan tree when we were outside?"

Liang Qingying and A Xu looked over, and the big branches of the old banyan tree could be vaguely seen outside the window, thick and thick, and the branches covered the sky and the earth.

A Xu said: "Of course I saw it. The branches of such a huge banyan tree must be sticking out of the wall. Didn't you say that no one has lived in the haunted house No. 114 for ten years? Doesn't that mean that no one has repaired the old banyan tree branches for ten years? No wonder it covered the sky and covered the earth, it was dark when we entered."

Zhang Xiaodao: "Are you sure you really saw this banyan tree outside?"

A Xu nodded affirmatively.

At this moment, Liang Qingying said with a pale face, "No."

A Xu turned his head suddenly, and exaggeratedly said: "No way. You haven't seen such a big banyan tree?"

Liang Qingying: "If you saw it, why didn't you feel it at the time? Such a big banyan tree is rare in the imperial capital. Besides, if such a big banyan tree grows in an alley, city reporters will come to report it."

Hearing this, A Xu began to think back.The more I thought about it, the more I realized something was wrong. Indeed, as Liang Qingying said, if I saw such a big banyan tree outside, I would definitely be amazed.After all, it is really rare to see such a big banyan tree in the imperial capital, covering the sky and the sun, and it must be hundreds of years old.

But in his memory, he was very used to it, as if it was just such a banyan tree, just stuck there, as a matter of course.

Not only from the outside, but also when I went inside and saw the banyan tree, I felt that it was huge and old, and I didn't respond, of course.If it was only him who felt this way, it was okay, the people who came with him were all accustomed to that banyan tree, they could clearly see it, and obviously talked about it, but it was as normal as eating with a bowl.

Thinking back carefully when I saw this haunted house outside, the impression and picture of "seeing the banyan tree" gradually faded, and finally turned into a blurred shadow.

Thinking about it this way makes one's hair stand on end.

Not only asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

When I came back to my senses and looked at the old banyan tree, I felt that the old banyan tree was strange and terrifying. The human body naturally produced an inexplicable sense of crisis, a feeling of wanting to escape as soon as possible.

"Okay...it's scary."

Suddenly it was scary.

It was as if he had turned a blind eye before, and his eyes were blinded by confusion.Once it was revealed, those fears and ominousness swept through the whole body like surging waves.

A Xu crossed his arms, and asked Zhang Xiaodao and Liang Qingying nervously and excitedly: "Who are you? Are you... Celestial Master? It's Yan Chixia from A Chinese Ghost Story, and Uncle Ying from One Eyebrow Taoist?"

Zhang Xiaodao said to him very simply: "If there are really ghosts and spirits chasing and killing us, I can't fight back. Maybe I will suffer too."

A Xu was dumbfounded: "It's not... isn't it a celestial master..."

Zhang Xiaodao didn't want to explain to him the difference between a first-rate celestial master and a third-rate celestial master, and looked at him expressionlessly: "Didn't I tell you not to come in? It's dangerous here."

A Xu muttered: "Maybe it's really not dangerous, it's just a bit evil..."

He himself was a little uncertain about what he said, because now the inexplicable fear made his elbows have small bumps.

Zhang Xiaodao turned around and walked towards the door, Liang Qingying and A Xu hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go and see the banyan tree."

Liang Qingying hurriedly followed, but A Xu still hesitated.He always felt that the old banyan tree was the scariest thing compared to the house.

Zhang Xiaodao's voice came from outside: "Liang Qingying, don't follow me. Stay inside."

Liang Qingying had no choice but to go back.

The two looked at each other in the living room, and stood against the wall, away from the place where the hanged person was hanged from the ceiling.

At this time, Xiaoyu and the others came out one after another from the master bedroom, second bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.When he came out, the expression on his face was not very good, especially Xiao Yu, with a dark face and suppressed anger.

They were all silent, and A Xu ran over to ask his companion what happened.Have you photographed anything in it?

His friend said with a fierce face: "No. There is nothing. I didn't even show a ghost after filming for a long time. I don't know if it's a lie."

At the same time, similar complaints emerged one after another.

Xiaoyu kept a dark face and held back his anger, as if he didn't expect this to happen.She said: "Someone in the group sent me the link and chatted privately. I saw it clearly, and it is indeed a haunted house."

Someone snorted mockingly: "If someone dies, is it called a haunted house? That's right, it makes sense. I said, why so many people came here. More than a dozen people swarmed over, scaring away all ghosts. Isn't it greedy for money."

"That's right. If you can't find a murderous place, I will refund the money. After paying so much money, I didn't get anything."

……

There was a lot of discussion.

Xiaoyu didn't want to refund the money, so he glanced at the old banyan tree outside the window, and blurted out a sentence: "Isn't there a shoot yet?"

Everyone looked at the old banyan tree, a little hesitant.

Although Xiao Yu was shocked by the words he blurted out, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Go there and take pictures. If you don't get any pictures, I'll refund the money."

After checking so much information, she was very sure that No. 114 was a well-known haunted house. How could there be no ghosts?

"Let's go then. Let's take a photo."

Liang Qingying stopped them: "No way. That place is very evil, so we can't go there."

Xiaoyu suddenly broke out and pushed Liang Qingying away viciously: "Is it the link you sent? Is it your fault? You can't see me, right? A strange person has been recruited, and he has been saying no, we can't stop us from coming in. Playing. Now you stop him from taking pictures, it's all your fault, right?"

Liang Qingying's eyes widened: "I don't. It's not me."

Xiaoyu didn't intend to let Liang Qingying go, whether it was her or not.At this time, it is best to transfer the anger of the group behind you and pick yourself off.If it affects the future business, it will be bad.

"Pretend to be innocent? Or you say that other people are all excited to take pictures, and you are the only one who is always stopping others. Every organization before was successful without you. Why did you have nothing when you came here? Photographed? And the person you brought, where is it? Where is it hiding?"

Her snarky behavior really made the people behind her suspect Liang Qingying.

Liang Qingying's face was flushed with anger, "Shooting things, do you know what you are doing? You are shooting ghosts! Ghosts! You dare to touch those evil things, and you still think you won't be hurt. If you really mess with it When it comes to those things, I don’t know how they died. I don’t know the heights of the sky and the earth, and I dare to play with ghosts and gods. Do you think you are the only one playing this death animation? Are you the only one who knows the URL? Are you playing crazy? It’s been a long time ago Someone played it! I didn't know how to mess with those things, and the death was worse than the other!"

There was a moment of silence in the room, only Liang Qingying's panting sound remained.After a long time, Liang Qingying found that everyone except A Xu was staring at her coldly, especially Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu smiled mockingly: "So I came here to snatch the business." She mocked Liang Qingying, then turned her head and said, "Don't pay attention to her, let's go shoot. If the shoot is over, I will pay back the money immediately."

The rest of the people felt that it was all coming, and it would be a pity if nothing was photographed.What's more, if you can't take pictures, you can get your money back, it doesn't matter.

So they all went out to shoot with Xiaoyu, and all gathered under the old banyan tree.

Liang Qingying looked at them from a distance, and suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have really seen the whole picture of the old banyan tree clearly since she came in.There are only huge tree trunks and branches that block out the sun in the impression.

It seems that the old banyan tree is close at hand, but in fact it is too far away to see clearly.

Except for herself, A Xu and Zhang Xiaodao were not in the crowd, there were nine people standing under the densely packed banyan tree roots and branches. The old banyan tree looming in the darkness seemed to be high above, staring at the small prey below.

Eerie, gigantic dryads.

At that moment, Liang Qingying only thought about these things.

But wait.

"Where is Taoist Zhang?"

Those people were about to take a picture, but a boy suddenly said: "It's been too long to shoot a picture, why don't you take a picture first. I heard that a picture can capture something that doesn't belong to the world."

This second proposal was agreed by everyone except Xiaoyu.

But no one was willing to shoot, so A Xu walked over and said he would come.

Nine people stood under the banyan tree, posing and smiling together.

click-

After the shooting, A Xu looked at the photos by the way.I only glanced at it, my whole body was stiff, and my phone fell to the ground.There was cold sweat on his forehead, and his face was full of fear.He suddenly raised his head and stared at the old banyan tree, then staggered back a few steps.

His response was so overwhelming it was confusing.

Liang Qingying knew that he had captured something, so she ran over to pick up her phone to check.The phone was dropped on the grass and it didn't break.

Tap, slide, unlock.The photo came into view, and I saw——

Under the banyan tree, nine people had pale faces, dark foreheads, and grinning grimly.Dozens of corpses were hanging from the banyan tree branches above them behind them, roaring and frantically trying to climb onto the nine of them.There are also half stumps writhing on the ground, and the targets are all nine living people.

Without exception, there was a pipe inserted into the body of those corpses, which was a pale brown tree root.

The tree roots spread towards the nine people, and one of them stretched out in front of the camera, aiming at A Xu who was taking pictures.
