Jiajing Spiritual Records

Ning Huan pursed his lips tightly, and looked around anxiously: "Then...then where should we go next?" Before he finished speaking, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and a piece of paper appeared from behind the lush vegetation. An unfamiliar face, an empty and shabby cloth, shriveled like an upright skeleton, under the dark moonlight, the ghostly eyes glaring at the two of them viciously, it saw Ning Huan looking over, with pale hair A strange smile appeared on Qing's face, and disappeared among the bushes in a flash.

"What's wrong?" Su Xian asked, frowning.

"Just now... there's something there." Ning Huan pointed his hand stiffly behind Su Xian, and replied staggeringly.

Su Xian turned around, looked in the direction of Ning Huan's finger, and there was nothing in the bushes. "There was a ghost there just now, it was watching us, it... it was still smiling at me!" Ning Huan said, frowning uneasily.

Hearing this, Su Xian's eyes quickly flashed a complex look, he looked at Ning Huan, and asked again: "You just said that the stream is full of human bones?" Ning Huan was taken aback, and recalled the scene in the stream , swallowed hard, and nodded.

Su Xian raised his eyebrows slowly, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that this is a place where corpses gather, we have to leave quickly." Hearing this, Ning Huan nodded hurriedly.

The two were on the road again.In the dark night, the thin moonlight leaked through the stacked branches and leaves, and the soil smelled damp and earthy in the air. After going around for almost a stick of incense, the two returned to the starting point in a blink of an eye. place.The pile of wood sparkling with sparks was not far away, and Ning Huan was expected to have noticed something was wrong at this time, he slightly pursed his lips, and asked dryly: "Are we back again?" Su Xian didn't make a sound .The mountains and forests were silent, only the sound of the two people's panting breathing echoed around.

Su Xian's expression froze slightly, the moonlight left a light layer of silver light on his white handsome face, he looked at Ning Huan and replied: "It's a ghost hitting the wall." He lowered his eyes, dark His pupils looked around, calmly like a bobcat dormant and hunting in the dark. "Hush—" He made a silent gesture towards Ning Huan.Ning Huan licked his dry lips, and stood stiffly beside Su Xian, not daring to breathe.

Su Xian took out a yellow talisman from his cuff, and he said silently, the yellow talisman was slowly suspended in the air, the surface of the talisman was engulfed by the faint blue flames, and the surrounding area was illuminated with dazzling light.Under the reflection of the cluster of fire, a ghost was clinging to the branch in the distance, its shriveled body curled up tightly, like a crumpled monkey hanging upside down on the branch.The blue and white grinning face was exactly the grimace Ning Huan had seen just now, and he was staring at the two of them with resentful eyes, as if he didn't know what was going on underneath.

A flash of coldness flashed across the bottom of Su Xian's eyes, and the sleeve knife flew out of Su Xian with a gust of wind. In an instant, there was a miserable strange cry in the forest, "哗啦——" followed by a With the sound of falling into the water, the ghost on the tree completely disappeared.

Ning Huan poked out half of his head from behind Su Xian, looked at the empty branches, and asked softly, "Did that ghost run back into the water?"

Su Xian nodded, and he looked back helplessly at Ning Huan who was holding onto his sleeve and not letting go: "You probably came up with you when you went to the stream just now."

Ning Huan smiled sheepishly, his eyes flickered to one place with guilt: "No...you are in a hurry." He pushed Su Xian's arm, "Let's go, don't delay here any longer."

Su Xian snorted dissatisfiedly, and stretched out his hands to pinch Ning Huan's face: "Don't run around in this kind of place, and see what kind of physique you have."

"I didn't know that place was so evil. If I knew that there were these things under there, I wouldn't go into the water." Ning Huan puffed his cheeks and retorted softly.

"Still talking back!" Su Xian bared his teeth, rubbed Ning Huan's face and squeezed it into a sharp chicken mouth.

Ning Huan faltered, blinking his black and white eyes, after a long while, finally nodded obediently: "Master Su is right, we all listen to Master Su—"

The two walked straight out of the woods, only to see dots of fire not far away. "What is that?" Ning Huan asked curiously.The two walked towards the direction of the fire, and only after getting closer did they realize that it was a village. "There are still people here?" Ning Huan said in surprise.The house with white walls and black tiles stands on both sides of the bluestone slabs, and the bricks and soil embryos are exposed under the cracked walls. There is no one on the village road, only one or two candles flickering in the rich darkness through the paper window lattices flashing.

"Shall we go there?" Ning Huan pursed his lips and asked a little uneasy.Leaving aside the creek full of human bones, the village in front of me is too quiet. There is no sound of chickens crowing or barking dogs, and even the murmur of insects has disappeared from the village road.Ning Huan licked his dry lips, thought for a while and said again: "However, the road we came here has been deserted, only here are villages and people, will Zhao Wanniang wait for us here?"

Su Xian didn't make a sound, his black eyes dimmed, and he was silent for a while: "Sheren Town, Qijiao Mountain." He whispered, "Since there are people, let's go in and have a look." Ning Huan heard the words, nodded.

Ning Huan and Su Xian entered the village.Ning Huan gently knocked on the door of a house near the entrance of the village: "Is anyone there?" He asked.

"Squeak—" Not long after, the door slowly opened a crack, and a young woman came in.She looked up and down the two of them through the crack of the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ning Huan arched his hands and replied: "I lost my way in the forest with my friends at night, and I happened to come here. I wonder if the girl will allow me to stay here for a night." A bank note was slipped through the crack of the door to the young girl behind the door.

She rejected the bank note from Ning Huan, frowned, staring at Su Xian and Ning Huan with a complex look in her eyes, her eyes flickered slightly, after a moment of silence, she raised her She closed her eyes, and looked at the two people outside the house with a bad tone: "No one will be kept here." She spoke quickly and softly, as if she was afraid of being discovered, and urged them coldly, "You two Don't go fast yet."

The young woman was about to close the door to drive away the guests, when there was a slight noise in the room.She was startled for a moment, and the movements of her hands also stopped, her knuckles clasped on the door became pale and bloodless due to the force.After a long while, she looked at Su Xian and Ninghuan with dim eyes, "The village head has agreed for you two to stay." The door slowly opened, and the young woman stood in the house and said to the two.Without the sneering posture just now, Ning Huan seemed to see a flash of pity and helplessness in her deep eyes for an instant.

"Come with me, the village chief wants to see you." The young woman's tone eased, she went out of the house and led Ning Huan and Su Xian to another house.

This is a big house with three entrances and three exits. It is located at the end of the village road. Ning Huan was a little surprised. He did not expect to meet such a magnificent house in this wild place.The red lanterns hung from both ends of the plaque in the center, covered with a layer of dust, and the lights wrapped around the ground were somewhat dim.Ning Huan was slightly dazed staring at the blank black lacquered plaque above his head.

The young woman stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the door opened with a "squeak."

There were three or two people standing inside the door, and they turned their heads slowly when they heard the sound, looking up and down at Su Xian and Ning Huan with chaotic eyes: "Someone is here again?" One of them said in a hoarse voice.They hunched their backs, and showed an old posture in their gestures, but they looked as young as seventeen-year-old girls.

Ning Huan frowned slightly, thinking that there was indeed something strange here.The young woman did not answer, and led the two of them around the corridor and into the hall of the house.Rows of white candles were burning on both sides, candle tears dripped on the candlesticks, the fire light illuminated the whole hall, there were already six people sitting on the armchairs in the middle, they were exactly the ones Ning Huan and Su Xian had seen in the tea shop Those strong men.

When the six people saw Ning Huan and Su Xian, they also showed a look of surprise on their faces.The bearded man in the lead narrowed his eyes, his falcon-like eyes swept over the two of them, and sneered, "It seems that you are here for that too?"

Su Xian didn't say a word, but the bearded man had already acquiesced to the purpose of the two of them coming here, he snorted coldly: "Boy, it's not easy to seek death."

Su Xian raised his eyebrows, as if he heard something extremely interesting, he slightly hooked his lips, and there was a provocative smile in his obsidian eyes: "Why did he only send you a few?"

Ning Huan looked at Su Xian slightly in astonishment, but quickly closed his eyes. He lowered his eyes and stared at the cold and icy stone slab below, knowing that Su Xian was testing his words.They also came here to look for things, the same purpose as Suxian's father and mother came to Sheren Town back then.But who are these burly men here for?

At this time, footsteps sounded "da, da" from outside the house, and an old woman in a black short coat staggered in. Her back was curled up, her sallow and shriveled face was like an old bark, and her facial features could no longer be discerned. On her face, the pupils were like poisonous snakes lurking in the dark, and the scar with the mouth of the bowl stretched over her right eye, making her look even more chilling.

This is probably the village chief, Ning Huan thought to himself.But he was a little surprised, he didn't expect the village head here to be an old woman.He frowned, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, since he entered the village, he hadn't seen any man in the village.

Where did the boys of the village go?

The young woman stepped forward and whispered something in the ear of the village chief, who nodded.Her voice was hoarse, her tone was extremely slow, and there was a "hissing" air in her throat from time to time, and she said, "You can stay here. But there are village rules in the village, no matter what happens at night, you are not allowed to come out. "As he said, he waved his hand and ordered the young woman to take them down.

Ning Huan's eyes darkened slightly. If he read correctly, the totem on the old woman's wrist just now was a snake with a tail, a snake with a tail... Ning Huan licked his lips uneasily.

"Girl." Ning Huan followed the young woman, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you have any boys here?"

The young woman's footsteps paused slightly, she turned sideways and slightly raised her eyelids, and replied: "The men in the village have long since died in battle, so this place has naturally become a widow's village." After that, the young woman said nothing more. What.
