I became Hu Aotian by selling cuteness [Wearing Books]

At this time, someone from a noodle stall not far away shouted, "Xiaozhen? Xiaozhen? There are guests, are you back yet?"

Xiaozhen was the girl's name, and she quickly agreed to get up, hung the small sword around her neck, reluctantly said goodbye to Shu Lingjia, and limped back to the noodle stall.

Shu Lingjia also quietly followed, hiding behind a tree next to the noodle stall, and heard an old beggar sitting on the side of the street yelling at the proprietress:

"I said, daughter-in-law of the Wang family, you are so kind-hearted, and you are willing to let this girl help you. Aren't you afraid of affecting the business?"

The proprietress wiped her hands with her apron indifferently: "Those who like to eat my craft are all acquaintances, and they will naturally come if they want to. If Xiaozhen and her parents are gone, how can the two of them live there and no one will go?" A haunted house? In this world, good people are rewarded with good things, but I have ghosts in my heart, so I am afraid of bad luck!"

After hearing this, several diners praised her for what she said.

But the beggar laughed drunkenly: "Good people are rewarded? Bah! Good people really have rewards. What do you say about the people who died in the haunted house before? Is the Xianchang family capable? Say yes Is it gone? If you want me to say, there is no natural justice in this world, it is better than me, an old beggar, who does not do good deeds and does not accumulate virtue, lying on the side of the street and drinking a little wine, it is very happy!"

They were chatting here, and Shu Lingjia also heard about Xiaozhen's situation.

It turned out that this girl was born with poor mobility, her right leg suffered from leg disease, and her parents passed away a few years ago, leaving her with a seven-year-old younger sister to depend on each other.

A while ago, a wind and cold made the life of the two sisters even more difficult, and they were kicked out by the landlord, so they had to temporarily move into a famous haunted house in this town.

Others thought they were unlucky, and they didn't want to get in touch with Xiaozhen. That's why the scene where the children teased her happened earlier.

And many people died in that haunted house, although the two women were forced to go in because of life, Xiaozhen gritted her teeth and squeezed out a little money to buy something to ward off evil spirits, for peace of mind.

Shu Lingjia listened roughly to what he wanted to know, glanced at the old beggar, shook his hair, and left.

He found a place where no one was around, and tried to mobilize the remaining spiritual power in the meridians again.

Just now, he got some villain luck from Jing Feitong, which finally weakened the suppressing effect of the plot on Shu Lingjia. This time, he finally gathered some spiritual power and was able to regain his human body.

It feels so good to be human again!

Shu Lingjia flicked his sleeves, feeling refreshed.

He squeezed the Qiankun bag in his sleeve, and the Qiankun bag thrown over by the elder brother before leaving was indeed full of silver taels.

Thinking of Luo Xiao, Shu Lingjia heaved a sigh of relief.

He came back to the street, originally wanting to find the vendor who sold the sword to Xiaozhen just now, but after only a short while, the vendor closed it down.

Shu Lingjia had some doubts, so he had to find another place, bought some ancient jade with aura, inquired about the location of the haunted house, and followed the direction to find it.

This legendary haunted house was originally a spacious and wealthy mansion, just in front of the small river to the west of the town, because the several families who lived in it had died, and gradually fell into disrepair.

In this case, even if there are no ghosts and ghosts, there will inevitably be too much yin in the house if there are many people who die.

It is possible for people to live in it, to have hallucinations, to be in a trance, or to weaken the yang energy in the body, leading to overthinking and sickness.

Everything has its own destiny, and the sword has been bought by Xiaozhen, and a cause and effect has been formed between them, which cannot be interrupted forcibly.

Shu Lingjia planned to see if there were really any unclean things in the house, and if there were any, he would deal with them before negotiating terms in exchange for the evil sword.

He didn't push the door open, and jumped in directly from the top of the wall.

There are winding water corridors and small garden bridges in this house. Even under the moonlight, you can see the golden patterns on the vermilion pillars. It can accommodate at least four generations under the same roof, which shows the care that was put into the construction.

But now it's all deserted, and the red color is more indescribably beautiful.

At this time, the sky was dark and the moon was in the sky, but there was no light in the whole house. A girl's voice came from the east side, and she was reading aloud: "The moonlight in front of the bed is probably frost on the ground. Look up at the moon, bow your head Thinking of my hometown...①"

In such a quiet late night, and in such a quiet house, even this immature child's voice seemed strange.

However, there are such verses, so there is a trace of loneliness for no reason.

A wandering traveler has nostalgia for his hometown, but if he is a wanderer, it is impossible to think about it.

Shu Lingjia shook his head, releasing his spiritual sense.The whole house is indeed very dark, but there doesn't seem to be any signs of ghosts.

The girl's voice came from the east wing, it should be Xiaozhen's younger sister, but I don't know why she didn't light the lamp.

Shu Lingjia didn't want to disturb her, so he raised his hand to set a barrier, sealed the east wing room inside, and was about to look around, when suddenly, a sword sound came from behind!

It was the grinding sound of a sword blade being unsheathed.

At such a moment when his mind was just relaxed, a sword slashed at his back unexpectedly!

Shu Lingjia's saber was broken two years ago, and now he is unarmed, and in a hurry, he made a tactic with one hand, and the sword was alive, so he turned around to block it.

This sword qi struck out, forcibly cutting a deep crack in the ground, but did not encounter any obstacles.

Shu Lingjia flicked back, then turned to look at his own position just now, and only caught a figure holding a sword that was fading away.

It turned out that it was a false alarm, but it was an obsession left by someone in this place.

No wonder it was able to appear behind Shu Lingjia without him noticing.

An obsession like this is usually because someone is unwilling to leave this world before someone dies, and feels extremely resentful and unwilling. The most impressive scene before death will be permanently preserved, and it will appear when it is stimulated under certain special circumstances .

Just now when Shu Lingjia set up the enchantment, he used his spiritual power to draw out this obsession.

This is not uncommon, but the important thing is that although Shu Lingjia did not see clearly the facial features of the man holding the sword, he clearly saw the phantom of the weapon in his hand.

It was exactly what the evil sword looked like after it had returned to its normal size!

——It means that in this haunted house, someone once used this sword.

So why did it get smaller then?And why did I not know how many years later, it went around and fell into the hands of Xiaozhen who lived here?

Can it only be explained by a "coincidence"?

After thinking about it, the image has been completely dissipated.

There was a door next to it, which opened with a "squeak".

Shu Lingjia was in a tense mood. She turned around and looked, her defensive posture was already in place, but she saw a little girl who was not as tall as his waist running out of the wing room, and the pink silk flowers on her braids flickered. of.

Seeing Shu Lingjia, she stopped in a daze.

Shu Lingjia didn't need to look in the mirror to know that her gaze must be very sharp at this time, because the little girl was stunned for a moment with her mouth half-opened, and then burst into tears with a "wow".

Shu Lingjia suddenly felt dizzy.

He had very few opportunities to deal with children, and there were young disciples of this age on the mountain, but all of them behaved well in front of Shu Lingjia, so how could they dare to cry like this.

Shu Lingjia said dryly: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

People ignored him at all, crying louder.

Shu Lingjia couldn't help sighing, stroked his forehead, squatted down in front of the little girl, and said after a while: "Don't cry, there are bugs on the ground, can I catch two caterpillars for you to play with?" ?”

"..."

What's outrageous is that his tone and expression are very sincere, and there seems to be something wrong with his sincerity.

This sentence had a negative effect. The little girl was so frightened that she didn't even dare to cry, and said quickly, "No, I don't want caterpillars, and I don't want fox spirits either!"

Shu Lingjia: "Huh?"

This must be a bit powerful, right?

The little girl said: "I heard from Uncle Wang that he is very good-looking and likes to sneak into other people's houses in the middle of the night. They are all fox spirits and will hide on the bed to scare people... My sister didn't come back. I am scared at home alone, don't you scare me……"

This little girl is Xiaozhen's younger sister.Just now she had been in the room, Shu Lingjia set up a barrier to block the Yin Qi and abnormal movements outside, but did not prevent her from suddenly running out by herself.

As a decent fox who never attracts human yang energy, Shu Lingjia can only promise: "I'm not scaring you, and I'm not a monster. Hmm... I accidentally walked here by mistake, otherwise, I'll be with you... …apologize?"

The little girl rubbed her eyes with her hands and whispered, "It's okay."

Shu Lingjia asked again: "Why don't you light the lamp if you are afraid?"

After saying these few words, the initial fear gradually faded away, and the little girl realized that the brother in front of her was not just "good-looking", but his slightly raised face had a breathtaking beauty, which made people unconsciously Forget even to breathe.

This is the most intuitive visual shock regardless of age, the little girl suddenly felt inexplicably embarrassed, took out a small cloth bag from her arms, opened it, took out something and handed it to Shu Lingjia: "This."

It was a short candle stub.

"Candles are expensive, and they cost a lot of money." The little girl looked at him with bright eyes, as if she was holding the rarest thing in the world, "But I picked one up today, and I will use it together when my sister comes back."

Shu Lingjia saw that the piece of candle was only the length of a thumb, and it was white, a bit like the candle used in funerals. I don't know where the child picked it up.

He smiled, and put the candle back into the little girl's hand, but the other party couldn't hold it firmly, and the candle fell down between the two of them.

Shu Lingjia was about to pick it up, but the half of the white candle was fixed in mid-air under the eyes of the two of them.

Shu Lingjia was startled, then quickly raised her hand, covering the little girl's eyes before she could react.

The candle was not affected, and slowly stood upright under his gaze, and then, a cluster of dark green flames ignited on the downward wick.

This is--

The reflection of the underworld, the darkness opens the way!

There is a reason for this situation. After death, people are led into the underworld by black and white impermanence, pass through the gate of hell, and come to Huangquan Road.

Both sides of Huangquan Road are surging rivers, and the road in the middle that can be used by ghost teams is very narrow. People with weaker merits and virtues in life have lighter soul bodies. At this time, they will be squeezed into the river. Turned into an underwater ghost.

These upside-down ghosts are not eligible to be reincarnated, and wander around the bottom of the water every day, waiting for an opportunity to go ashore and return to the underworld.

This kind of ghost is most likely to be attracted by the evil spirit of evil things. There is no light in the underworld, and there is no black and white to guide the way. Therefore, when they escape, they often use candles to illuminate them.

And because ghosts exist as reflections until they come ashore from the river, the phenomenon of candles hanging upside down is one of the important signs for judging the ghosts of the underworld to return to the human world.

Something is coming.

The author has something to say:

Ferocious Fox: What's the matter with the caterpillar? How fun are bugs?
