first executive

The few people had no direction, so they followed Yuanyuan first. After walking for more than a kilometer, they saw a village. At the entrance of the village was a half-person-high stone tablet, with weeds growing beside the stone tablet, and the words "Lotus Village" engraved on it.

Bai Zhui looked up at the black air hovering above the lotus village, and frowned. The village was filled with an ominous atmosphere. They walked in step by step. Every house was closed, and it was quiet, except for the weaker and weaker pigs.

"What are we doing in this kind of place?" Gu Songyi stopped in his tracks and said dissatisfiedly, "I don't care what you guys are going to do, I'm leaving now!"

He didn't want to stay here for a second, he was not familiar with Lin Yan, and he was very unfamiliar with Tong Bo right now, his heart was filled with uneasiness, and his cold fingertips hadn't warmed up yet.

Bai Zhui turned his head and grinned: "Okay, you go, don't blame us for not stopping you if you encounter an accident on the road."

The gray sky behind him seemed to be a background canvas, and the red brick walls of the village and the bumpy ground became the scenery in the canvas. Speaking cold words, like a heartless god, gentle and indifferent.

For a moment, Gu Songyi didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, they were clear and bright, as if he could see through the filthy corners of his heart with a single glance, making it impossible for him to hide.

He did want to turn around and leave, but he was not a child who acted only on impulse. What he had experienced could not make him regard ghosts as illusory things. In the wilderness, he walked alone, full of dangers, and if he returned When he arrived at the station, he didn't know when the return bus would leave. He would wait for a long time alone.

During this time, countless possibilities can arise.

He is like a choked oriole, the mouth that can speak sweet words in the lover's ear has no sound at this moment.

Lin Yan answered: "Young Master Gu, although I have a normal relationship with you, I would like to give you a piece of advice. It is not a wise choice for you to leave us now."

Gu Songyi bit the tender flesh in his cheeks, Lin Yan's words were considered as a step for him, lest he would not be able to get off the stage if he was lifted up by Bai Chuan, Gu Songyi kept his mouth shut and didn't say any more.

It was 06:30, the sky was gloomy, and it was no different from when they got off the car. They followed the sound of pigs and walked along the way.

Bai Zhui was at the corner of an earthen house, and he saw a crowd of people. Those people were centered around one place, and the air smelled of blood. He leaned against the wall to hide his body, listening to the chaotic voices. .

No wonder I didn't see the villagers all the way, they all gathered here, it was only six o'clock in the morning, as if they were holding a grand ceremony.

When Gu Songyi saw this scene, he felt creepy. There were people from a village standing there, but there were not many people in that village. Most of them were old people. A few young people stood in the innermost part. A pig was tied On the shelf, two men carried it, and blood splashed everywhere like a fountain.

The pig had no resistance. There was a big red bucket under it, which was half full of blood at the moment. Gu Songyi supported the wall with his fists on his mouth. The bloody scene made his stomach churn.

With the smell of blood mixed in the wind, Lin Yan said: "There seems to be an ancestral hall behind them."

The door of the red-tiled house in the back is half open, and the tablets placed inside can be vaguely seen, because someone blocked them, and they couldn't see more from their position.

Bai Zhui glanced, the door was only opened a gap, the person blocking his sight moved a bit, and he could clearly see the scene in that gap.

The light in the ancestral hall was very dark, and there seemed to be red blood stains on the ground. The gap was too small for him to see more. He glanced twice, and looked away thoughtfully.

Most of the pig's blood had flowed out of the bucket, and another middle-aged man stepped forward, took out the bucket, walked up to a man in a gray gown, put the bucket at his feet respectfully, and said, "Master, this is for today." .”

The man's voice was loud, as if he was worried that the man in the gray gown couldn't hear clearly.

The man in the gray gown couldn't be seen in Baizhui's direction, but someone called Master, Baizhui and Lin Yan looked at each other, it seemed that they had found someone by mistake.

Lin Yan's breathing was visibly heavy, and his hands were curled up, knowing that this was not the time to be impulsive, he held back his desire to find out, and continued to observe the situation.

Another voice sounded: "Got it, take the pig down, and share the meat with everyone."

The voice was low and hoarse, as if there was a mouthful of phlegm in his throat, which made it unpleasant to listen to, but the noisy environment instantly quieted down, and it was obvious that everyone respected him.

After getting the master's instruction, two men came out of the crowd driving a pig, and the people moved out of the way. At this moment, the face of the man in the gray gown was exposed in the sight of Bai Zhuo and the others.

He wears a pair of iconic round glasses on the bridge of his nose. He is so dark that his eyes cannot be seen. He holds a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, with one hand behind his back. He really looks like a master.

The moment Gu Songyi saw his face, his eyes widened in shock, his hands trembled uncontrollably, he looked at Lin Yan in surprise, and then at Bai Chui.

It's just that neither of them looked at him.

Therefore, Lin Yan said that the person who brought him to find the rune tattoo was true, and Tong Bo also came to find that person, did he know all about it... Gu Songyi's mind was in a mess.

The gray gown didn't notice them, so he had someone bring the pig's blood into the ancestral hall, and said vividly: "This is all a tribute to the ancestors. As long as everyone is sincere, I will be able to use the abilities of the ancestors to save everyone... "

Bai Chui suddenly found a piece of land under his feet that was darker in color. He lowered his body and twisted it with his hands, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it.

The high-sounding words in the gray gown convinced the crowd below. It didn't take long for them to disperse. Fearing that others would find them, the three of Bai Chuan and one ghost left the place first.

They took the path into the mountain, and Gu Songyi followed behind them desperately. He touched his empty neck, and the fear of approaching death came to his heart again.

He desperately wanted to figure it all out.

"Gu Songyi." Bai Zhui called him suddenly, and he recovered from his imagination.

Bai Zhui asked him with a normal expression, "Do you know the man in gray?"

Gu Songyi couldn't figure out the meaning of his question, so he replied vaguely: "Not sure, I didn't see it clearly just now."

Bai Chui: "Oh."

He didn't ask, which made Gu Songyi heave a sigh of relief, but at the same time he didn't dare to rest assured. He wasn't sure if Tong Bo really knew everything. Lin Yan didn't look like an ordinary person, and he should know a thing or two about the way of ghosts and gods .

If Tong Bo knew something, the two of them would join forces to deal with him, as if he was powerless right now, and he didn't know how he died.

He settled down and decided to sneak down the mountain to find that person while they were not paying attention.

Gu Songyi looked at the backs of the two talking in front of him, and slowed down his pace...

Yuanyuan: "Brother, Gu Songyi is about to run away."

Lin Yan frowned when he heard the words, and listened with his ears. The footsteps behind him were indeed far away. Just as he was about to turn his head, Bai Chuan called him: "Don't move."

Lin Yan: "...what?"

Bai Chui: "Let him go."

Now that he leaves them, it is not difficult to imagine who he is looking for, Lin Yan: "He can't leave."

Bai Chui: "It's good that he's gone."

Lin Yan didn't quite understand what he meant: "Why?"

Bai Chui said: "Gu Songyi recognized the man."

He glanced at Lin Yan, and asked with a half-smile: "Have you not told him what the rune on his back is for?"

Otherwise, Gu Songyi ran into the fire pit in such a hurry.

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions after he found out, and let that person notice if he found out, so I didn't say much."

"Just wait." Bai Zhuo said, "He will go to that person, and that person will definitely know that we are here."

"So?" Lin Yan frowned, this is not a good thing.

Bai Zhui raised his head and looked at the gray sky. The dark clouds cast a dark color on the world, making people depressing for no reason. He murmured: "I don't know how long it will be."

"What?" Lin Yan didn't hear his words clearly.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for your Lin family's rescue." He tilted his head, "That man has left a bloodbath in this village."

With that said, he turned his head back, "Let's rest here for a while."

He changed the topic so quickly that Lin Yan couldn't react and just stared at him blankly.

Bai Chui said, "Just rest here for a while, and it will be troublesome to go down the mountain if you go far."

When Lin Yan turned his head, Gu Songyi had long since disappeared. Looking down at the village from the halfway up the mountain, it was another scene. The village was not big, and it was surrounded by fields. among.

He asked, "What is the blood formation you mentioned just now?"

Baizhuo bent his legs, sat down against a tree, and pulled out a piece of dogtail weaving in his hands. He explained: "The blood formation forged with the blood of all living beings is not difficult to understand, right?"

The dogtail grass deftly turned into a puppy in his hands, and he put the puppy on the dead leaves beside him, and continued: "You should have seen it in front of the ancestral hall just now, some of the blood on the ground looks like For a long time."

He looked at the soil left on his fingertips, sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and said, "Probably he used the blood of various poultry."

Lin Yan couldn't help asking: "How do you know it's a blood formation?"

"It's simple." Bai Chuan held the weeds in his hand and pointed in the direction of the ancestral hall, "I saw blood drawn on the ground of the ancestral hall. I think that person should stay in the ancestral hall often. He said that the formation is using the power of the ancestors, but it is not true, he is preparing for the blood formation... Do you want to hear the process of drawing the blood formation?"

His amorous red phoenix eyes raised slightly, the cold breath dissipated a lot, and the whole person was much softer than usual, with some broken hair on the corner of his forehead, Lin Yan was startled, and couldn't help but "tsk" in his heart said.

A man who looks better than a woman, but with a masculine air, will not make people feel too feminine - of course, he thinks that Bai Chuan doesn't want to hear the word "good-looking" from others, He clenched his hands into fists and put them against his mouth to cover up coughing twice.

He blurted out: "How do you know so much?"

Bai Zhui raised his eyebrows and twitched the corners of his mouth: "Because I have a mysterious master."

Lin Yan: "..."

He didn't ask, Bai Chuan said again: "The blood formation takes seven to 49 days, and fresh blood is superimposed on the formation every day. Human blood is the most effective and powerful one, but well, no one should be so He's very courageous, as for the formation he drew, I don't know."

After all, he didn't see clearly, the door was only opened a small crack, and Bai Chui could only see a little bit.

Lin Yan: "Then we can't let that kid Gu Songyi run down to startle the snake!"

Bai Zhui put his hands behind his head, "I was shocked a long time ago."

Lin Yan: "When?"

He felt that his doubts in the past year were not as much as today, and he even unconsciously relied on the young man opposite him.

Bai Chui: "When you took that brat, he knew we would come sooner or later. Whether he knew it or not is not important anymore. What matters is how long it takes for him to complete the formation. I don't think it's too far away. Why don't you let go of Gu Songyi?" Go down and delay for a while, and distract him from dealing with us."

Moreover, for a person like Gu Songyi who cherishes his life, the other party is much safer in his eyes than them. Gu Songyi stays here, but his heart is not here, and he wants to run away when he finds an opportunity.

It's better for them to let go voluntarily, so that the other party can't see through their thoughts, and doubt whether they have a second plan is more effective. It is also troublesome for Gu Songyi to stay with them, and it will be more convenient for them to do things if they let him go.

While they were talking, Yuanyuan had already turned the mountain around once.

When Gu Songyi left Bai Zhui's sight, his footsteps became faster, his heart was pounding, and he walked to see if Bai Zhui and the others noticed that he was gone.

Not seeing them chasing up, he licked his dry lips. The villagers had just finished, and Gu Songyi went straight to the ancestral hall, and there were two more people finishing up here.

There was a cripple among them. They used water to dilute the blood on the ground. Gu Songyi looked around here, but he didn't see the gray gown, but the cripple found him.

"Hey, where are you from?" He spoke in a local accent, but Gu Songyi didn't understand what he said.

He stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, I want to ask if you have a master here? He often wears gray clothes."

Hearing his words, the two cleaners looked at each other and exchanged glances. The cripple put down the broom in his hand and asked him in half-baked Mandarin: "Why do you want him?"

When Gu Songyi heard his words, he felt that there was an opportunity to make a couple of sentences, he said: "I know him, I have something to do with him, if you tell him my surname is Gu, he will call me."

"Gu?" The man said the word twice, seeing his determination, said, "You wait here."

He ran to the entrance of the ancestral hall, bowed his waist slightly, and knocked on the door: "Master, there is a man surnamed Gu who says he knows you and wants to find you."

"...surname Gu?" the person inside asked.

The cripple said, "Yes, he said he needed your help."

The person inside said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't I say that no one should disturb me when I practice, just let him wait."

The cripple didn't dare to make a rebuttal, so he responded respectfully. He limped up to Gu Songyi and said, "You heard me, it's not that I don't want you to see him. It's not convenient for Master to see people right now. Just wait."

Gu Songyi was in a hurry, but he couldn't go in directly. He paced back and forth twice, and asked again: "The master said-how to do it? What method?"

"Hey, why are you asking so much? Don't ask more if you don't need to know." The cripple got impatient, "Get out of the way, I'm cleaning here."

Gu Songyi had never been treated like this before, his face darkened instantly, he opened his mouth a few times, and finally squatted down under a tree silently, and snorted fiercely.

……

"Someone is coming." Bai Chuan said softly.

Lin Yan subconsciously hid by the bushes behind the tree. His shoes made a small sound when he stepped on the branches and leaves of the dead wood.

Suddenly, Yuanyuan exclaimed, her eyes widened and she looked in the direction of the person coming.

The sound of footsteps stopped abruptly, followed by the looseness before, and a few steps back in a hurry, the person who came turned around and wanted to run.

Bai Zhui and Lin Yan ran out at the same time.

The figure with her back to them was very petite. Before she could take two steps, she was pinned down by Bai Zhui. She fell to the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Muttering in his mouth, he didn't know what he was talking about, Bai Chuan lowered his upper body to listen, "...I didn't see it, I didn't see it, I don't know anything."

He pressed her hands to the back, she didn't resist, and was easily restrained by Bai Zhui, when Bai Zhui saw her face, he was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yuanyuan, the two faces were exactly the same!

The girl's body trembled uncontrollably, she was extremely frightened, her eyes seemed to have opened the floodgates, tears flowed down unstoppably, she choked up her voice, like a wounded animal, fragile, small, and pitiful.

Lin Yan was stunned again. Two Yuanyuan were standing in front of him. He didn't understand the situation in front of him.

twin?

Bai Zhui stared at the girl's face for a few seconds, then chuckled lightly, "You're a fake."

Hearing Bai Chui's words, the girl's lowered eyes flashed with panic.

Without waiting for her to speak, Bai Tuo added, "I've been suspicious since the train."

Yuanyuan looked at the girl in surprise.

Bai Chui took off the backpack he was carrying behind his back with one hand, took out a talisman and stuck it on the girl's forehead.

Lin Yan asked: "Your talisman... works on people?"

"Suppressing evil spirits." Bai Chuan said, dragging the girl aside, the girl couldn't move her limbs except for her eyes, she was staring at Shui Lingling's eyes, her eyelashes flickering.

Yuanyuan circled around her, bit her knuckles and muttered, "Why do you look the same as me?"

Lin Yan: "What's going on?"

Why he asked today has already broken the record, and he doesn't care about it this time. Although he guessed something in his heart, he still doesn't quite understand.

Bai Chuan: "Have you heard of the dead ghost?"

There are two kinds of dead ghosts, one is dead ghosts and the other is living ghosts. Dead ghosts generally cannot enter reincarnation and need another soul to die on their behalf in order to be liberated, just like water ghosts.

There is another kind, that is live replacement.

In fact, on the train, it wasn't Yuanyuan who died, but another soul in the girl's body in front of her. She told Yuanyuan her memory and used her subconscious to make her feel that she was the girl who died in the train tunnel. Yuanyuan's soul squeezed out, took her body as her own, and lived in place of Yuanyuan until she died again.

Bai Zhui couldn't see the breath of a ghost in Yuanyuan's soul, that's because she wasn't dead at all, her appearance and body could deceive people, but the appearance of her soul couldn't.

And Yuanyuan couldn't get off the train because she felt that she couldn't get off the train and she should be on the train, so Bai Zhui gave her a hint that she could get off the train.

She had seen Bai Chuan exorcising ghosts on the train, so she believed in his words.

Bai Chui briefly talked to Lin Yan, and Lin Yan asked: "Then her memory..."

Bai Zhui: "Maybe it's because she only gave Yuanyuan a hint of that one-sided memory. Yuanyuan can only remember it when she returns to her body."

It was not difficult for Bai Chuan to find out the evil spirit that occupied the magpie's nest. With the help of a few talismans, he gathered spiritual power in the palm of his hand and slapped the girl on the forehead. The awl was smashing into her skull, and the pain hit her, but she was reluctant to give up this body, resisting the pain and not wanting to run out.

Bai Zhui turned his head to Yuanyuan and said, "Come here and push her out."

This body belonged to her, so the degree of compatibility with her soul was naturally higher than that of the evil ghost. This couldn't be delayed for too long, otherwise Yuanyuan's intelligence would also be damaged if she went back.

The body and soul of the evil ghost were vacillating, forming a double shadow. She didn't want the body she had so hard to get to be taken back, but she couldn't do anything except resist and persevere.

She looked at Yuanyuan who was walking towards her, her eyes were dim with tears, and said with difficulty: "Please, don't, don't, grandpa still needs me at home, no, don't live...Ah!!!"

She almost squeezed out word by word, the stinging pain made her regret, regretting that she went up to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots this morning, it was all because of the old man who had to eat bamboo shoots in the morning, Yuanyuan was obedient at home, she was afraid of showing her flaws and causing trouble. The "master" in the village became suspicious and had to go up the mountain.

After all, life in the village has been uneasy recently.

Seeing her screams continuously, Yuanyuan took two steps back timidly.

Bai Chuan saw her hesitation, and he said: "There are not many opportunities. The longer she stays in your body, the higher the degree of integration. Your soft heart to her is the cruelty to yourself. Didn't you hear what she said? ? Your grandpa is still waiting for you at home, how good do you expect a fake to be to your grandpa?"

When Grandpa was mentioned, Yuanyuan's heart was touched. She clenched her fists and rushed towards the girl's body.

The evil ghost's pupils shrank sharply: "Don't, don't!!!"

She had no chance of winning, and was squeezed out of her body. The girl's body fell softly to the ground after going through all the tossing.

An evil ghost with half of its head missing turned around and wanted to escape. Bai Chuan quickly patted out a talisman to stop her, poured spiritual power into it with a branch, and drew a formation with a diameter of one meter around her to trap her.

After painting, he threw away the branch and patted the ashes on his hands.

Seeing the true appearance of the evil spirit, Lin Yan had no chance to make a move, so he was subdued by Bai Zhui first. At this time, he had to admire Bai Chui's ability to act.

If such a person wanted to fight against him, he would probably be several times more troublesome than that guy down the mountain.

"Tsk, why are you running, sit down and talk." Bai Zhui squatted in front of her and said.

The evil spirit couldn't move, it gritted its teeth and looked at him, as if there was poison in its eyes.
