unlucky ghost

Tanxi was startled, got up hurriedly and ran out the door, saw that the monk had already entered the courtyard door, turned back to the inner room, jumped out by the window, and ran away without a trace.

Tanxi ran up the mountain road, and only dared to stop when he was running out of breath, and fell to the ground, panting uncontrollably.

I used to see legends about ghosts and monsters saying that ghosts are floating, can pass through walls and escape from the ground, seduce souls and seek lives, and change in many ways. Now that I have really become a ghost, I know that the book may not be true.

Now, let alone telling him to float in the sky, even running a few steps is difficult.

Tanxi looked up at the sky, it was really a fine day, with dense clouds and gusts of north wind, but there was no sunshine in the sky, no sun would be better than good.

Tanxi looked back at the old city, even if she was scorched by the sun, she would not be able to return.

So Tanxi took advantage of the cloudy sky to climb up to the top of the mountain. When turning to the south of the mountain, Tanxi looked back at the dilapidated old city for the last time, and then looked at the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain is an old pine forest, with cold clouds layering on top of each other, and the dark wind brushing against the dark wind. There is a large area of ​​mist, and the branches are swaying here and there. It is really not a place for people to go.

Tanxi looked at the mountain road at the foot, it spread to the top of the mountain and gradually narrowed, and finally turned into a narrow path, which plunged into the gloomy old forest.

Tanxi pinched her nose and walked up bravely.

When it was dark, Tanxi dawdled to the top of the mountain.

Tanxi hesitated outside the forest for a while, feeling really scared in her heart.

In the end, I had no choice but to walk inside with my weak legs and feet.

Strange to say, the darker the sky, the better Tanxi's eyes are. In the dense fog, one hundred meters away, one can distinguish every grass and tree.

Because of this, as soon as Tanxi stepped into the old pine forest, he began to regret it. When he hurriedly turned around and wanted to go out, the clouds behind him were so thick that they couldn't melt away, as if he had hit an evil.

Tanxi was busy calling her ancestors to bless her in her heart, while continuing to move forward.

About one hundred and eighty paces ahead, there are several lumps of soil.

Tanxi shivered, thinking that it might be a mass grave, she was about to shrink her neck to avoid it, then she thought, if it is really a mass grave, maybe someone just buried it, maybe there will be ghosts coming here to seduce the soul, maybe Ask yourself to meet one.

When Tanxi was about to walk away, his feet suddenly softened, as if a living thing was wriggling.

Tanxi yelled strangely, "Ahh!", hurriedly climbed up a nearby tree, and hugged her tightly, not daring to let go.Looking down, it turned out to be a green snake with a slender silver body running away like a dragon swimming on the ground.

Tanxi breathed a sigh of relief, and when she turned her head, she let out another ghostly cry of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Just now what he was holding in his arms was a hanged corpse.

The dead man on the tree swayed for a while before coming to a stop, and Tanxi finally saw the man's face clearly——

The eyeballs are shriveled and half drooping out of the eye sockets, the tongue sticks out six inches long, the neck is twisted into a knot, and the limbs are stiff and drooping. It is a mummified corpse.

Tanxi heaved a sigh of relief, stood up courageously, and said to the hanged ghost: "We met by chance, so I offended you, forgive me."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone patted him on the shoulder, but when Tan Xi hurriedly turned around, he bumped into a bloody ghost face.

This scare was so frightening that Tanxi fell to the ground and pretended to be a dead person in a very useless way.

The cold air on the ground was extremely heavy, and the cloudy air was pouring into the clothes.

"Stop pretending, can ghosts still be scared to death?"

Tan Xi shuddered, and narrowed his eyes to see a woman's bloody face dripping blood.

"If you don't get up again, I will hang you to the tree too."

Tanxi hurriedly opened her eyes, supported her body and stepped back, stammering: "You you you..."

The woman raised her hand to wipe the blood on her face, stretched out a rotten tongue to lick it, and smiled at him miserably, saying, "I'm not human."

Tanxi stepped on the ground with both feet, took a few steps back, and nodded.

The man was also surprised, he started to cry again before finishing his sentence, the blood in his eyes dripped to the ground, and the ground was emitting green smoke.

Tanxi hurriedly said: "Girl... girl, why are you crying and staying here, why don't you go to the underworld to reincarnate?"

The woman's eyes were filled with blood, and she suddenly said sadly: "Heh... reincarnation?"

Fearing that she would approach, Tanxi got up from the ground and backed away.

"I can't go back anymore, I can't go back..." He said and approached Tanxi.

Tanxi hurriedly backed away, and the woman said angrily: "Why hide from me, I just want to talk to you." While speaking, her face was suddenly ferocious, and several slits appeared on her rotting face, and she said awe-inspiringly: "I have already I haven't spoken for ten years, I'm so lonely..."

Tanxi was frightened and disgusted, and hurriedly said: "This... this, men and women can't kiss each other."

When the woman heard this, she paused, crying and laughing, blood and tears flowed into her mouth, then dripped out of her throat, and murmured: "I knew it, I knew it..."

When the female ghost raised her head again, Tanxi had already climbed up a pine tree and sat shrunken on the fork.

The wind passes and the fog disappears, and the bright moon rises into the sky.

Tanxi saw a dense mass of graves in an open space not far away, but there were no tombstones.

The woman sobbed and walked under the tree, and fell to the ground.

Tan Xi said: "Dare to ask the girl's name?"

The woman thought for a moment, wiped her tears and said, "No name."

What Tanxi couldn't see the most were women's tears, and a man's coercion, so he hurriedly advised: "It's better to go to reincarnation early, everything in the world can't escape reincarnation, just think about it."

The woman couldn't stop crying, her tears seemed to flow from a fountain, and she cried for a while before she said: "I don't have a name. The Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Principles, I listen to whomever I call it. That name is just a casual appellation... ...Heh, pigs, pigs and dogs all have names..." After that, he cried for a while before saying, "I hanged him, he deserves it!" He raised his hand and pointed to the hanged man not far away. Mummy, Tan Xi shuddered, and asked: "Is there a reason?"

The woman suddenly raised her head, her bloody eyes were full of evil spirit, she said sharply: "The reason? What reason do you want, he deserves to die!"

The female ghost's scream startled an old raven above Tanxi's head. The old raven moved in its nest, and a soft object hit the surface of Tanxi.

Touching Tanxi, my stomach twitched suddenly, it was bird droppings, still warm, very fresh.

Seeing this, the female ghost under the tree chuckled and stopped crying.

Tanxi was stunned holding a pile of bird feces, this woman's face is really a fucking June day, if the wind is rain, if it is cloudy she is sunny, it is really unpredictable.

"You like bird poop so much?"

Tanxi hurriedly threw the bird droppings in his hand, and said with a smile, "You say, you say..."

The female ghost was also stunned for a moment, and asked, "What did you say?"

Tanxi rubbed her hand against the tree vigorously, "You didn't want to talk to me just now, so go ahead and talk." After finishing speaking, it's time to get down to business.

The ghost cried again.

"He...he was my husband." The female ghost whimpered, "Although he is from a poor family, he and I are very affectionate. Every time we walk through the market hand in hand, I don't know how many people are envious."

Tan Xi suddenly felt cold in his heart.

"At that time, he was still a poor scholar, ah...he was also a poor scholar later." The female ghost frowned, and couldn't help wiping her tears, "I never thought he was poor. This time, I didn’t try my best to comfort him. Whenever he was frustrated, he would always hold my hand, kneel in front of me and say that he would never let me down in his life, huh...it’s ridiculous.”

Tanxi sighed, and the woman couldn't escape a word of love even after crying, so she guessed: "Then he failed you?"

The female ghost nodded, then quickly shook her head and said, "Let him down? He never treated me sincerely. Why did he let me down? I'd rather he let me down." After she finished speaking, she couldn't stop crying, "He's not happy. , I have never been happy, he can't carry it on his shoulders, he has a good face, and he has never gone out to earn a penny. It is because I spin day and night and do some needlework to barely fill my stomach."

She raised her hand to show Tanxi, her ten fingers were bloody.

"He drank and gambled all day long, and hid in his room alone and sulked. I worked hard every day and never complained, just because he never failed to live up to his words."

Tanxi was impatient and said perfunctorily, "What happened next?"

The woman wiped away her blood and tears, and said with a bitter smile: "It was a beautiful day. I just finished enjoying the fireworks, went to the flower market, and celebrated the Lantern Festival. There are many families outside who got married on the auspicious day. I leaned at the door and looked at the brightly red car I couldn’t help laughing when I thought of my appearance when I got married. He came back from the outside, took my hand and knelt down in front of me, and begged me to let him take the exam again. He said it was the last time, and said Keeping me in my heart for the rest of my life, I said yes, asking me to prepare for you. He smiled rarely, and packed his bags happily. I looked at my calloused hands, and I was in trouble for a while. Where should I go with half a hundred taels of silver? Prepare for him."

Tanxi leaned on the tree trunk with folded arms, frowned and said, "What should you do?"

The woman paused for a moment and then said: "There is always a way. I went to a big mansion in that city and asked them if they wanted to serve as servants. They said yes, and I said that I would come to raise money for my husband. I would like to give them 60 taels for the rest of my life. My servant, the butler thought about it and said 40 taels, I agreed. The next day he took the money and left. As soon as he left, someone came to collect his gambling debts. I had no money, so I emptied it. My house." At this point, the woman stopped talking, thinking of all the past, she couldn't restrain her sadness.

After a while, Tanxi asked, "He didn't pass the exam?"

The woman nodded and said: "When I returned to my hometown the next year, he became the son-in-law of the Wen family."

"Wen Mansion? You have been dead for so long." Tanxi often heard people say that the Town God's Temple in the north of the city used to be the residence of Wen Mansion, and it fell down many years ago.

"Yeah, I've been dead for a long time." The woman sighed softly, looked up at him, and said again: "I went to look for him, but he avoided seeing him. Don't count, tell me to take care of myself and don't disturb his peace. I didn't eat or drink for five days, and then I died."

Tanxi couldn't help sighing, "Why are you doing this?"

The woman began to wipe her tears again, and said bitterly: "I hanged him, but for some reason, I kept crying, and when the tears dried up, they began to bleed."

Tanxi asked, "Why don't you go to reincarnate?"

"I can't get pregnant anymore, I escaped from the underworld, and now I'm a lonely ghost, I can only wait to be wiped out."

Tanxi heard her talking about the underworld, and quickly asked: "Miss, do you still remember the way to the underworld? I rushed to the underworld to reincarnate, but there was no evil messenger to seduce me."

The woman cried enough, she got up slowly, Qiaoqiao raised her orchid fingers to straighten her hair, and said with a smile: "Where do I remember, there will always be a ghost. Thank you for listening to my crying, I should go."

After all, it disappeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye.

Before Tanxi recovered, there was a faint gust of wind in his ears, and it seemed that the person who came from the sound was not good.

A moment later, a cloud of cold white mist surged from the tomb, gradually approaching.

Tanxi hurriedly climbed under the tree, slipped his hand, and fell firmly to the ground, shaking his internal organs.

Tan Xi bared her teeth, and took a few breaths.

The cloud of cold mist came whistling like a torrent, mixed with all kinds of cries, women's shrill, children's crisp, men's low, and old people's hoarse...

Before Tanxi got up, the cold air accompanied by deafening shouts instantly submerged Tanxi.

Tan Xi hurriedly covered her mouth, and took a deep breath at this moment, wondering how many ghosts she was going to suck into her stomach.

Tan Xi opened his eyes wide and saw that the white mist was full of crooked ghost shadows, all of them had black, gray and white faces, most of them were wearing pale robes, occasionally there were a few in black and gray robes, they all seemed to have gone crazy Like, bypassing Tanxi, hovering and drifting forward, almost taking him up.

When the white mist was about to disperse, Tanxi saw a blood-red face, which turned out to be that female ghost just now.

The ghost saw him, but stopped, and fell in front of him.

The next few ghosts passed through the female ghost and continued on.

But seeing the female ghost blessing him generously, she whispered softly: "Sujin is being polite here."

Tan Xi got up, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Miss, you are welcome."

The woman was not like Cai Cai's gaffe just now, she was elegant and virtuous, she said softly: "Just now, after talking to the young master, Su Jin remembered some past events, and suddenly she remembered her own name, she should thank you when she sees the young master."

Tan Xi hurriedly waved his hands and said, "You don't need to thank me for your kind work. Where are you going, Miss?"

"My lord doesn't know that every month when the full moon is full, the yin energy in this yang world is at its peak. The wandering ghosts who usually live in other things will take advantage of this to go to that popular place, complaining and complaining. Gratitude for kindness is not in vain to break free from this sinister underworld and end up in ashes." After saying that, he smiled again, and in the moonlight, that blood-red face shone brightly, but it was not so frightening. people.

Tan Xi understood, nodded and said: "Could it be that girl..."

The woman blessed her body again and said: "The hatred in Sujin's heart is gone, now it's time to repay the kindness of Yang Shi, so I will leave first."

Tanxi nodded and said, "Miss, go slowly, there will be a meeting later."

The female ghost slowly lifted into the sky, like smoke and dust, and drifted away in a cold wind.

Tan Xi saw her drifting away, her white robe was shining brightly, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded, she is also a ghost, why is she so graceful like a fairy, and she can only jump on the ground, it is really in vain to be a lonely ghost.

Just angrily, I saw the female ghost turning around in mid-air, and said with a smile: "I think of something, maybe it can help you solve your urgent need."

Tan Xi was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said happily: "Miss, do you think of the way to the Yin Division?"

The woman shook her head, Tanxi's heart trembled again, and her eyebrows turned back in worry.

The female ghost said again: "The road is too much and too complicated, how can I remember it after a long time? However, if you want to find the Yin Division, you might as well find a kind of dark grass first. This grass is called Shuilan, and it is crystal clear and white like crystals. Stone, shaped like a water column hanging Qiongling, has no roots and leaves, and often grows in dark and rotten places."

Tanxi hurriedly said: "If you find it, you can get to Yinsi?"

The woman nodded and said: "Exactly, the direction pointed by the bell on the grass is the direction you should go, follow its instructions, and you will be able to reach the intersection of yin and yang, and then you will naturally find the way to the underworld. "

Tanxi folded her arms and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss."

The woman smiled but said nothing, just nodded lightly, and turned around to hide her figure.

When Tanxi raised her head again, the woman was gone.
