Jiajing Spiritual Records

Jiang Ning and the poisonous widow in front had urged them several times, and they walked out of the south building slowly. Ning Huan looked back worriedly.The wedding candles in the new house on the second floor of the small building are still burning, and the shadows of the candles are flickering, reflecting on the pale and yellowed window paper, a thin layer of red gradually blooms, shining a faint light in the dark and hazy night.Suddenly a figure walked past the window and stopped. He leaned against the window lattice and seemed to be looking at them. Xian's sleeves.

"What's wrong?" Su Xian asked back.

"There is someone by the window." But before Ning Huan's words fell, the figure disappeared in front of Ning Huan out of thin air. "Strange." Ning Huan blinked, and pointed to the position over the window, "But it was clearly still there just now." Su Xian raised his head and followed Ning Huan's gaze. Looking at the closed window thoughtfully.

"How long are you guys going to hang around? I think you two are doing it on purpose, right?" The poisonous widow impatiently shouted at the two of them, and she turned her head to look at Jiang Ning beside her in a restless state. , anxiously said: "Master Jiang, did you really see Shouhou go outside by himself? Are you sure you read it right?"

Half of Jiang Ning's face was concealed in the darkness, he nodded and said: "He is holding the lantern, and he has indeed left the gate of this mansion." The poisonous widow's eyes wandered between the mansion and the gate hesitantly , I haven't made a sound for a long time.

"Don't you want to go out and look for it?" Suxian approached, and let out a mocking cold snort beside the two of them, his eyes glanced at Jiang Ning and the poisonous widow mockingly, "The lamp holder is not leading the way at the front, blame the people behind us for slowing down, two It's unreasonable."

Jiang Ning turned his face away and coughed lightly, glanced at the hesitant poisonous widow, and said softly: "Then let's go."

Outside the house, in the Sifangtiandi, there is only one bright lamp lit in the darkness, and what can be seen is only a few steps away.The wind is cold and bitter, and there is a thick humidity in the air. The ground under the feet becomes softer and softer, like evil claws protruding from the depths of the mud, firmly grabbing the feet of every person who steps into the forbidden area, and then Drag them down, drag them down...

The mist on Ning Huan's hair gradually turned to hoarfrost, every step was extremely heavy, but after walking for half an hour, he already looked out of breath.

"Where did the thin monkey go?" The poisonous widow was not much better than Ning Huan, and she was already sweating coldly at this moment, and she couldn't stand up tremblingly.

"Look further ahead." Jiang Ning panted.

"You don't need to go." Su Xian said suddenly, "Walking for more than half an hour, it's just a hundred steps in a circle." Su Xian pursed his thin lips slightly, staring at the familiar black silhouette not far away and said .

Jiang Ning was stunned. He was silent for a long time and then sighed helplessly: "It seems that that thing won't let us go easily. We have to go back first." He thought for a while and said, "Maybe thin Monkey has already returned." The poisonous widow gasped slightly and nodded.

Familiar patterns are still carved on the high wall made of gray and white bricks and tiles. The doors on both sides are slightly open, and the shadow of the small building on the south side of the ancient house can be vaguely seen, but...

"Did we come to the wrong place?" The poisonous widow frowned and asked.

At some point on both sides of the vermilion gate, two red lanterns were hung, with the red characters "Xixi" pasted on them. Even the walls around the ancient house were covered with red ribbons that symbolized festiveness. When there is no wind, drift with the wind.Everyone was hesitating at the foot of the stone steps at the moment, when suddenly the candle in Jiang Ning's hand flickered, the candle went out, and the surroundings were suddenly eroded by darkness, only the red lantern hanging high at the door was still shining with a strange red light.The door creaked open by itself.

Suxian's deep eyes gradually became darker. He glanced at Jiang Ning and the poisonous widow faintly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "It seems that the owner of this house is having a wedding. Since the two have I got the invitation card, why don't you go into the house and have a look?" Su Xian hooked the corners of his mouth, as if he didn't see the anger on the poisonous widow's face, he went straight over the threshold and walked in.

Ning Huan hurriedly glanced at the two ugly faces, and followed Su Xian into the room.Jiang Ning and the poisonous widow hesitated for a moment outside the house, but finally followed in.

Although the outside is decorated with lights and festoons, the inside is still the same as when they left.Ning Huan followed Su Xian to the lobby first, and the eight immortals' table still had those few dishes of human meat.The head of Jiang Tie's corpse stood limply in the center, while the old man's body was lying on the ground, with the picture of a boy celebrating his birthday and a few broken bricks torn off by Suxian beside him.

"Do you think Skinny Monkey is back?" Ning Huan stood far away, wishing he could go far away from the two corpses in the lobby. He covered his nose with one hand, and looked around while talking to Su Xian.

Su Xian used a knife to push away old man Gu's curled up corpse. The corpse was smelly and purple-black spots had grown on it.He stood up and said, "Do you remember the order in which the invitations were arranged in the new house? If I remember correctly, Li Yun, Jiang Tieshi, and Old Man Gu will be next to him."

Having said that, where is the skinny monkey?Is it dead or alive?Still a mystery.Ning Huan was thinking, "tick" at this moment, a drop of water wiped Ning Huan's nose and fell to the ground, and there was a smell of blood around him.Ning Huan frowned and took a step back, there was another crisp "tick" sound, this time it landed on the tip of Ning Huan's shoe, and a bright red flower bloomed instantly on the white cloth boots.Ning Huan was startled suddenly, and looked up.I saw the thin monkey hanging upside down on the beam in a strange posture, with his head down, his white pupils facing Ning Huan's.

Ning Huan took a deep breath, the cold air covered his scalp like frost, he staggered a few steps back, and happened to bump into the poisonous widow and Jiang Ning who came in.

"What happened?" The poisonous widow frowned and asked angrily. Ning Huan pointed to the top, and the two followed Ning Huan's line of sight, and were immediately shocked by the scene before them.

The sharp short blade flew towards the top of the beam, and with a "click", the rope hanging the thin monkey's body was cut, and the body fell down accordingly.Ning Huan looked at the corpse on the ground, his body froze in vain.He finally understood how that weird posture was put on. Except for the head, the whole body seemed to be run over by a heavy object, and it fell limply on the ground like a pool of dead flesh without bones.

Su Xian picked up the clothes wrapped around the body with a short knife: "Except for the head, all the bones have been removed from the whole body."

The poisonous widow stood at the side dully, without the prestige she had before, she fell down on the chair beside her as if her soul had been sucked out, her black nails grabbed her wrist with all her strength, she kept muttering: "He, he really came back."

"Brother Su, look at this..." Jiang Ning looked at the corpse on the ground and hesitated.

Jiang Ning wanted Su Xian to come up with an idea, but Su Xian squinted his eyes and naturally ignored it. He glanced at the door calmly, raised his head expressionlessly, patted his sleeves and said to everyone: "Since you are dead today After passing, the two of you can go back to your room to rest in peace."

"But..." Su Xian looked cold, completely ignored Jiang Ning who was shouting behind him, and led Ning Huan straight out of the lobby.

In the side room, Ning Huan sat cross-legged on the bed, looked at Su Xian who was at the table with his eyes closed and meditating, and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

Su Xian opened his eyes, his bright black pupils turned slowly, he looked at Ning Huan who was on the bed and said, "I'm doubting..."

"What do you suspect?" Ning Huan asked.

Su Xian's tone was a little hesitant: "I'm wondering, maybe the game of seven was not done by my uncle."

"Why? But these people are all related to Taoist Qingshan." Ning Huan asked in puzzlement.

Su Xian shook his head, his handsome facial features were hidden in the shadows, and he tapped the wooden table with his fingers one by one: "First, their methods of death are too vicious, not like what my uncle did." Besides," Su Xian curled his lips, "my uncle is determined to follow the Tao wholeheartedly, and it is even more impossible for him to do this big happy event."

"It's just that the senior brother hasn't shown up now, so I can only take a step forward." He pursed his thin lips lightly, thought for a while and then said, "If the order of wedding invitations is followed, the poisonous widow will be the next to die. But I still have a doubt Unsolved, do you still remember Li Yun that senior brother mentioned at the beginning."

Ning Huan nodded.

"Du Du's legs were gone when he died." Su Xian squinted his eyes slightly, "One lost his legs, the other lost his left hand. The one who died today was boned out. As for Jiang Tie's corpse, only his chest and abdomen were covered One piece is lost, I don’t understand, what exactly does the person who set up the situation want to do?”

"This……"

Su Xian looked back at Ning Huan, and saw that he was resting his chin on one leg with one hand, tilting his head as if thinking about Su Xian's doubts just now.These days, I haven't slept peacefully, the black and blue color in Ning Huan's eyes is now very obvious, even that round baby face has lost most of its weight, and the big black almond eyes are staring at the bed in a daze At this time, the thick eyelashes are slightly drooping, and they are slowly moving with the master's meditation, like a light feather stirring the tip of Su Xian's heart...

"You..." Suxian went to bed at some point, and Ning Huan was slightly taken aback when he saw him.

With his coat still on, he leaned halfway on the outer bed curtain, and piled all the quilts beside him on Ning Huan.Seeing Ning Huan's dull expression, he hooked the corners of his mouth into a smile. "You don't need to worry about it." He rubbed Ning Huan's head, then reached out and extinguished the candle on the table.

"Go to sleep, I will watch over you." He said softly in the dark night.

The cold breath was just like his own, sweeping directly on Ning Huan's face along with the soft whisper in his ear.Ning Huan's face flushed slightly, he didn't know whether it was from shame or impatience, he shrank his whole body under the quilt, and whispered in a nasal voice: "I don't need you to guard me."

"Ok?"

"Really, I won't hold you back." Ning Huan said seriously, revealing his whole head from under the quilt.He pursed his lips slightly, thought for a while and corrected himself, "I will try not to hold you back, and I will definitely find out when someone comes."

"so what?"

"So in the middle of the night before I go to bed, I can watch you sleep in the second half of the night, so that neither of us will be too tired, is that okay?"

A brief moment of silence slowly dissipated in the dark night, Ning Huan bit his lips, feeling a little aggrieved, Su Xian really still didn't trust him, a bitter sense of loss gradually filled his heart.He curled his lips and was about to turn around.It was only when someone in the darkness chuckled lightly, and said in response: "Okay. Then let me think about it, you won't let me get up in the middle of the night."

Ning Huan turned his head away in surprise, blinked his eyes and looked at the direction of Su Xian beside him, he suddenly turned around again, buried his head in the bed and let out a silent grin, the corners of his lips remained curved. There, but there was still only one word in his mouth "coldly and indifferently": "Yeah!"
