Renew

Rong Li knew what she was referring to, those skinny legs, and the pair of black-soled white flower embroidered shoes that would only be worn when encoffined.

The black cat didn't jump off the eaves, but turned around and stepped on the roof tiles. The black tiles creaked under the steps, as if torrential rain was pouring.

Rong Li clenched Hua Sui tightly, gasping for breath, as if he was here to catch a cat, his eyes quickly moved with him.

Chuizhu jumped again and landed on the ridge of the roof. Although she was only a few months old, after being possessed by Hua Su, her limbs were strong and powerful, and she ran away with a meow.

When others heard this sound, they only knew it was a cat meowing, but in Rongli's ears, it was the cold and quiet voice of a woman.

If other kittens were having fun like this, Rong Li would be puzzled, but this is Hua Su.I still remember that day when Hua Su poured a ray of ghost energy into her eyebrows, she was completely exhausted, and her mind was clear, as if she was pushing mountains and seas with inexhaustible strength.

"Did you see the house under Chuizhu's feet?" Hua Su was very stubborn, she could say it was the house under her, but she insisted on saying it was Chuizhu.

Rong Li lowered his eyes and looked at the closed door in front of him, puzzled.

"Push the door." Hua Su said again.

Rong Li looked around, his heart beating like a drum, for fear that a monk would appear suddenly.

"There's no one here." Hua Su said calmly.

Only then did Rongli approach the door, raised his head and asked, "But this..."

"Don't be afraid." The black cat still hadn't jumped off the roof, looking down coldly with a pair of blue eyes.

Rong Li simply pushed open the door, dust and smoke rushed towards her face, she hastily raised her hands to cover her mouth and nose.

The house is very simple, there is nothing unusual, dust is everywhere, as if no one has lived here for a long time.

Holding his beating heart, Rong Li cautiously walked to the table, stretched out an index finger to wipe the table, and the thick dust immediately stuck to his fingertips.Panting weakly, she took a look outside the house and saw that no one was approaching, so she took up the handkerchief and wiped her fingertips with peace of mind.

The roof tiles above his head creaked, presumably Hua Su was walking on it with his hanging bead body.

The cat Mimi was calling, even the sound seemed to smell like milk, but what followed her ears was another voice.

Hua Su said: "There is something in the southeast corner of the room, let's see what it is."

Rong Li hurriedly looked for the direction, turned on his toes, and walked towards the southeast corner, only a huge wooden box in sight.Holding her skirt, she squatted down slowly, seeing that there was no lock on the box, she held her breath and opened it.

There were many vermilion talisman papers in the wooden box, but there were no runes on the talisman papers, it was as clean as if it had just been cut.

Half of it is filled with talisman paper, while the other half is neatly stacked scriptures.

Rong Li bravely picked up the scriptures, but found that the few books on the back were not the same, the stitches on the spine of the books were golden, and it was cold in his hands, with a vague moist feeling.She frowned, and opened the next few books one by one. When she turned to a certain page, a copper coin suddenly rolled to the ground.

On the page where the copper coin was originally placed, there was a figure of a human being imprisoned.

She stretched out her hand to pick up the copper coin that fell on the ground, clamped it back, and turned a page back, only to see that it said "Detaining Souls and Raising Ghosts".

If it was in the past, she would not have thought much about it, but...she had seen Erniang Zhu's soul, and Hua Su had said earlier that Erniang was given the technique of raising ghosts.

With trembling hands, Rong Li looked carefully at the words on the book, it was written about how to bind the soul to the bone, just a red talisman and a piece of toe bone can imprison ghosts and refine them into... fierce ghosts, and bind the soul The bones of the body must be buried in the place of death.

She closed the book suddenly, put the books on her lap back into the wooden box one by one, closed the box hastily, and stood up panting.

The roof tiles are quiet, and I don't know if the cat is still on the roof.

Rong Li turned around and went out, closed the door with a thunderous heartbeat, raised his head and walked outside the eaves, met the cold gaze of Chui Zhu suddenly.

Hua Su asked, "What's in the southeast corner?"

"Some vermilion talisman paper, with no runes drawn on it, scriptures and some incomprehensible books, I..." Rong Li paused, swallowed a bit and said, "I saw the words "Detaining Souls and Raising Ghosts" written on them. technique."

The black cat stood up, "How can I have evil spirits here, it turns out that the monk who lived in this room has evil intentions."

"The souls and ghosts..." Rong Li frowned, hesitant to speak.

"There are many ways to raise ghosts. If your second mother is trapped by this method, then her scattered bones should be buried somewhere under the bamboo courtyard." Hua Su said indifferently.

The puny black cat jumped off the ridge and headed straight for the back of the house.

Rong Li followed its figure, raised the corner of his skirt, hurriedly caught up, and walked around behind the row of low houses panting.

Behind the house is the place where clothes are washed, and beyond that is the back door of the temple. Outside the back door is also a mountain. The mountain is lush and shady, covering the sun.

Like a black crow, the pendant bead flew straight to the ground, passed through the back door of the temple, jumped between the tangled trees, and stepped on the untidy rocks towards the mountain.

Rong Li had no choice but to follow behind, gasping for breath, his cheeks were blushing.

The kitten ran extremely fast, the soles of its feet looked like wooden wheels of a carriage, and it walked like flying.It is small in stature, almost covered by roots and branches, so black, like the shadow at the bottom of the tree.

It didn't make a sound, and stopped after running far away, and only continued to climb up when Rong Li got closer.

Rong Li was dizzy, his legs trembled when he was stepping on the rocks, and even his five fingers that were holding onto the painting ghost were a little weak.

It was a hundred feet away from the temple, and the shadow of the mottled trees was particularly gloomy, and the surroundings could not even hear the chirping of insects.

Chui Zhu paused again, as if turned into a stone, she didn't even sway her tail, only the soft fur on her body was slightly swayed by the wind.

Standing up against a tree, Rong Li didn't dare to speak, her heart was raised to her throat, she was exhausted from running, there were still thousands of stars twinkling in front of her eyes, her vision dimmed for a while, and she almost fainted.

Hua Su paused for a long time, looking up at the rough stone steps in front of her with her blue eyes, and took a step forward after a while.

Rongli asked weakly, "What's in front?"

Hua Su didn't look back, but fixed his eyes on the front, and slowly jumped to the next step.

Rong Li took a step forward, his back was cold, and suddenly he smelled a strange smell, not a ghost, it was rotten and rotten, as if something had broken down.

It's not ghost aura, could it be what Hua Su said... Corpse aura?

The silence in the distance was strangely quiet.

The black cat sprang out from the shadow of the tree, and ran to a mountain wall covered with vines by stepping on the mud.

Rong Li followed up and carefully looked at the mud under her feet. She was shocked to find that there were several footprints here.

If it didn't rain yesterday, the footprints might not be able to stay.

Hua Su said lightly: "This is a cave, the vines have been exposed."

Rong Li lowered his eyes to look at his hand, and then at the vine as thick as a child's arm, not knowing where to put his hand.

The black cat's blue eyes suddenly lifted up, and saw that she had thin skin and tender flesh, her hands were white and slippery, without even a single callus on her fingertips, they were the hands that a pampered daughter of a rich family should have.

Rong Li rolled up his cuffs, revealing a slender wrist, jade white like green onions, with slightly protruding bones, and distinct meridians on the back of the hand.

This thin and white hand looks not as tough as a vine.

Hua Su stared at her for a while, then suddenly walked out of Chuizhu's body, and the thick black mist condensed into a figure, tall and thin, wrapped in a black robe.

After leaving the orifice, Chuizhu swayed for a while and fell to the ground slowly.

Rong Li blinked, his ears turned red, and he coughed lightly, "Why did you come out, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Hua Su didn't respond, she pursed her lips and raised her right arm, her five slender fingers poked out from under the black robe, the black mist in her hands suddenly formed, and slowly condensed into ferocious sharp claws, grabbing towards the vine.

Such a large piece of vines shattered into flocks in an instant.

Rong Li took a step back, only to feel the green fluff rushing towards his face, he hurriedly raised his hands to cover his face, and then suddenly realized that the rushing green fluff disappeared out of thin air.

She lowered her arms in astonishment, the tall and slender shadow disappeared in front of her, and Hua Su returned to Chuizhu's body.

The thin black cat stood up again, and a few steps away was a half-human-high cave.

"This trick is quite clever." Hua Su said flatly.

The cave was pitch black, and the mountain wind swept in, bringing out a more distinct smell of corpses.

Rong Li secretly clenched the painting, his eyebrows frowned, his face turned pale when he smelled the smell, and he couldn't move his legs for a while.

"Go in." Hua Su said again.

The black cat stepped in lightly, and it didn't know what it was stepping on. The footsteps sounded wet, "Come on."

Covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve, Rong Li stepped in slowly, his embroidered shoes stepped on a piece of sticky stuff, like mud soaked in water.

"Draw a lamp and come out." Hua Su's voice suddenly sounded, and it seemed extremely deep and distant in this empty cave.

Rong Li took out the painting ghost, she only painted a human body for the flaying ghost, but she didn't know if the lamp painted like that.

A cold air suddenly penetrated into the center of her brows, and she froze, the chill fell down her neck and slowly sank to her heart, and a burst of boiling heat surged up in her heart, melting the coldness, and immediately felt like a scorpion initiation...

Rong Li thought for a moment, raised his arms slightly, his eyes were pitch black, he couldn't see anything clearly, so he drew a few random strokes based on his feeling.

The ink condenses in mid-air, and when the painting is completed, it lights up, and a lantern floats in mid-air.

The fire in the lamp was faint, and what was burning inside was not a candle, but a bright green will-o'-the-wisp.The dim will-o'-the-wisp glowed weakly, although it was not bright, it was enough to see everything in the cave clearly.

Seeing that the lamp was about to fall from mid-air, Rong Li quickly reached out to catch it, but before his hand could pass through the lamp, he held it squarely.

The lamp she drew was actually within reach. Thinking of the heat of her heart when she swiped the pen just now, she vaguely knew how the pen was going to be used.

"Corpse." Hua Su said suddenly.

Holding the lamp, Rong Li's eyes suddenly flickered when he lowered his eyes, and he saw several corpses that had not been completely buried. On the muddy soil surface, there were several human faces faintly exposed, and there were also human faces protruding from the mud. Fingers, raised legs, hips that were not buried when turned sideways...

It was really a corpse, so many corpses were buried in this cave.

How could there be so many corpses on Huawu Mountain? It must have something to do with the Qiushou Temple.

But there is a corpse but no soul, only behind the Buddha statue there is something that looks like a ghost but is not a ghost.

Rongli pulled his back, bowed slowly, and took the lantern in his hand to shine on the faces of people exposed in the mud, and saw that the faces were bloody and bloody, obviously they had died not long ago, and some people had faces with double noses There are no ears, and some half of their faces have been gnawed away.

These kinds of tragedies seem to be eaten by evil spirits.

Rong Li refused to touch these dirty things in every possible way, stood there without taking a step, and said softly: "How could these people be buried here, who killed them?"

She paused, and then said: "Where are their souls, what is it that I saw behind the Buddha statue just now?"

The black kitten was not afraid of getting dirty, and walked slowly inside, avoiding the body with its muddy surface exposed.

"Where are you going?" Rong Li shouted hastily.

"Don't panic." Hua Su's voice gradually softened as he walked further and further away.

A lamp was dimly lit in her hand, Rong Li felt a little flustered, her feet seemed to have taken root, but her anxious heart wanted to push her forward.After thinking about it, she had no choice but to step out. The more she walked, the more anxious she was, and she almost stepped on a hand.

In the depths of the cave, the black cat softened its body again, and a tall and slender black figure suddenly appeared, its black robe dragging on the ground.

Hua Su took off the black silk that covered her head, revealing half of her braids, and her side face was sharply thin.She snorted lightly, raised her hand suddenly, and picked up a body on the ground.

The man's face was covered in blood and mud, and he couldn't see clearly.

Rong Li paused, "Is this a living person or a dead person?"

"I'm dying." Hua Su wiped the man's face, and the bloody mud covered his face disappeared, revealing an unremarkable face, it was a woman.

Rong Li brought the lamp closer, and leaned over to see the material of the woman's clothes. His eyes slowly fell, and he saw the hem of her skirt and a pair of black embroidered shoes. This...

The woman's clothes are exactly the same as the shadow behind the Buddha statue.

The woman was different from those corpses buried in the soil. Although her body was stained with blood and had wounds, her face was still good, and her arms and legs were not missing.

"What does it mean to be dying?" She swallowed, smelling the strong smell of corpses, her stomach churned.

Hua Su pinched the back of the woman's neck, scrutinizing the woman coldly, as if she was looking at something insignificant, "She has not yet reached the end of her lifespan, but her soul has left her body. If her soul can no longer return to her body, she will really die gone."

"The one behind the Buddha statue..." Rong Li hesitated.

Hua Su let go, and the woman fell to the ground with a plop, "It's her living soul."

If it is a living soul, it is not a ghost. No wonder there is no ghost smell.

Rong Li looked back to where he came from, and asked softly: "Then why didn't they become ghosts, and where did their souls go?"

Hua Su smiled very lightly, the smile didn't reach his eyes, it was cold and sharp.She suddenly leaned forward, only a finger away from Rong Li's pale face, "Guess what?"

It was too close, Rong Li wanted to lean back, but his eyes suddenly fell on Hua Su's beautiful eyes.

These narrow and long eyes are too good-looking, the tip of the eyes is slightly raised, and the pupils are dark.

"I don't know." Rong Li lowered his eyes, slowly moved his eyes away, and looked at Hua Su's lips.

The lips are bright red, not stained with lip balm, but as if stained with blood, like red plums on snow, bright and distinct.

"Be eaten." Hua Su said coldly, she turned her eyes to look at the corpses buried in the mud, lowered her voice and said, "Do you still remember what you saw in Lan Yuan?"

Inspired by this, Rong Li suddenly remembered the hanged ghost who was eaten, and the ghost that tried to strangle her throat but disappeared in smoke.Her throat suddenly went hoarse, "Did she get swallowed by another ghost?"

"That's right." Hua Su raised his hand and hooked his fingers slightly, as if he was beckoning something.

Rongli's palms were sweating, "What are you recruiting?"

Hua Su clasped his hands, his eyes were silent, "I'll call that living soul back, you can find a way to bring her back to Rongfu."

Bring a soul back to the mansion?Rongli couldn't figure it out for a while.

Hua Su casually clasped her hands, her slender index fingers clasped one after another, "Come here." It was as if she was beckoning a cat or a dog.

The lantern in Rongli's hand that was lit with will-o'-the-wisp suddenly cast a shadow, she tightened her hand holding the lantern, and then saw clearly that it was not a shadow at all, but a living soul that Hua Su had summoned.

That thin living soul was hooked like a little animal skin puppet in a shadow puppetry, the clothes on his body were exactly the same as the body lying on the ground, his eyes were dim, and his two arms were hanging feebly, as if he was hanging.

"It's her." Rong Li said softly.

Hua Su nodded and blew out a puff of air, which floated towards the living soul, hitting her forehead like an arrow.

The girl's eyes froze suddenly, and her eyes finally became clear. She was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the person in front of her, she opened her mouth as if frightened, and wanted to shout.

But she couldn't make a sound at all, her throat seemed to be choked, she raised her hand to cover her neck, retched several times, couldn't spit out anything, and couldn't make a sound.

"I sealed your throat." Hua Su said lightly.

The woman raised her eyes apprehensively, turned around and wanted to run away with a panicked expression.

"Don't rush to run, look at the ground." Hua Su said again.

The living soul quickly lowered its head, and then fell to the ground as if struck by five thunders, and sat on the edge of its own body.

Rongli could guess what this woman was thinking, remembering that when she died tragically in her previous life, she stared at her body in disbelief, the difference was that the woman's body was still alive, while she was still alive in this world at that time Yes, only one body.

Holding the lamp, she quietly looked at the living soul that had fallen to the ground, and the slightest trembling in the past dissipated unconsciously.

"Don't panic, your lifespan is not over yet, you can still revive your soul." Hua Su said indifferently.

The woman raised her head, moved her mouth, but couldn't make a sound, as if she was asking how to revive her soul.

"Do you remember who brought you here?" Hua Su asked.

The look of panic appeared on the woman's face again, she nodded her head and was about to shake it again and again.

"Don't remember?" Hua Su frowned.

The woman's soul hurriedly got up and ran a few steps away. At her feet was a corpse half buried in the soil. She squatted down and tried to get the buried person out, but unfortunately her hand passed through it.

Rong Li walked out slowly, "Do you know them?"

The woman nodded, sat down dejectedly, and looked around again, looking for the same soul as hers, but unfortunately she couldn't see it at all.

Hua Su glanced at her, "I've removed the silencing technique, you are not allowed to shout."

The woman nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Rong Li looked at Hua Su's hand making the talisman, but he didn't see how Qing Hua Su did it, he saw that his hands turned upside down, and then the living soul sitting on the ground coughed.

Shenghun suddenly covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Hua Su looked down at her, but there was no pity in her eyes, she was really cold and distant, "Why are you on Huawu Mountain? Who wants to take your life?"

The woman slowly put the hand covering her mouth, and asked in surprise, "What is Huawu Mountain?"

Hua Su frowned.

"I'm not in Longgu, this Huawu Mountain is in Qi'an." The woman panicked.

Rong Li could tell that the woman had forgotten something, "Then do you remember who you met before?"

The woman's lips trembled in fear, "I don't know why I'm here, my eyes are completely dark, I'm trapped in this cave, I, I..."

"Don't be afraid, think carefully about who you have met before, otherwise..." Rong Li calmed down, and asked slowly, "Even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, I can't help you."

The woman raised her hand to cover her head, closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at the corpse in the ground again, and said in a trembling voice: "A monk came to transform the fast, and the way came from Qi'an, so I allowed him to enter and gave him Served a bowl of porridge."

"But the monk behaved strangely. He obviously came to Huazhai, but he only took a sip of porridge... Actually, I didn't see whether he drank or not, but his mouth did touch the rim of the bowl."

"What happened next?" Hua Su asked quietly.

"Then..." The woman scratched her scalp with her ten fingers, said tremblingly, "I couldn't see anything after that, and I vaguely heard the monk say that I had fallen into an evil spirit, and if I didn't do something, the whole family would surely die."

She paused for a while, and said anxiously: "I can't move, I was thinking about the sound of horseshoes, as if I was sent to another place, and then I opened my eyes..."

"How?" Rong Li asked.

The woman trembled all over, "When I opened my eyes, I found that I was trapped here with a group of servants. There was no light here, and I couldn't see anything clearly. I only heard them screaming. I didn't dare to think, so I ran away, and then I seemed to hit a Stone stone, passed out."

"The monk tricked people into going up the mountain to feed ghosts with living people?" Hua Su snorted coldly.

"Ghost?" The woman's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Do you remember what the monk looks like?" Hua Su lowered his head and asked.

"I should remember..." The woman swallowed, "But, but..."

Rong Li blinked, the surrounding smell was overwhelming, he had to pinch his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and looked at Hua Su suspiciously.

"You have been cast on your body, so you can't remember." Hua Su raised his hand and pointed at the body on the ground, "If you want to survive, just lie back."

"Lie, lie back?" The woman was taken aback.

Hua Su didn't say much, but she was so patient that she didn't rush her.

The woman stood up with a soul, walked towards her body, hesitated for a while before lying down slowly, overlapping with the body.

Rong Li turned sideways and watched steadily, only to see that the person on the ground suddenly moved his hands, the pair of eyeballs under his eyelids turned slightly, and his body seemed to be alive again, but unfortunately he couldn't open his eyes.

"Alive?"

"Alive." Hua Su's frown could not be smoothed away, half of his face reflected a deep will-o'-the-wisp, "but where did the monk in this temple go?"

She glanced at the muddy ground under her feet, then narrowed her eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Is this the level of ghost feeding?"

Rongli was puzzled, but he saw Hua Su sticking out his hand from the black robe, flipped his palm suddenly, and then there was a rumbling sound under the soil, as if something was about to come out.

She almost couldn't stand still, afraid of getting something dirty, she didn't dare to support the stone wall, so she staggered and had to support Hua Su's shoulder.

Hua Su's hand paused for a moment, but he didn't let her go, so he acquiesced in supporting her.

After a while, all the corpses buried under the mud were turned out, and some of them were still wearing monk robes.

These monks... were also eaten.

Rong Li supported Hua Su's shoulders, he was not so scared anymore, and stared boldly, "All the monks in Qiushou Temple were eaten?"

Hua Su shook his head: "Not necessarily."

Halfway up the mountain, Xiao Fu, who was still waiting in the temple, was suffering, so she simply ran into the arch, shouting and looking for her own girl.

Rong Changting waited in the Daxiong Palace for a while, his heart tightened suddenly, when he left the hall and did not see Rong Li, he asked anxiously, "Where is Li'er?"

Only one maid pointed to the arched door, "The girl just chased the cat and ran inside."

"Go find it!" Rong Changting said hastily.

Seeing that he was about to enter the small courtyard where the monk lived, Meng Xian somehow panicked and hurriedly chased after him, "Master, Li'er is probably playing with the cat."

Unexpectedly, the row of houses behind the arch was closed, and not a single monk was seen.

Meng Xian's eyes swayed, and he grabbed Rong Changting's arm and said, "Master, let the servants look for it, it's just a place the size of a palm, Li'er will never get lost."

She winked and said, "Not yet!"

Several servants bowed quickly, ran along the house to the back door, passed through the back door and went up the mountain.

On the mountain, Hua Su used tricks to get the woman lying on the mud out of the cave. When she was covering the entrance of the cave with a trick, she frowned suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Standing in front of the mud hole, Rong Li flicked his sleeves, and the lantern turned into black smoke and dissipated.

Hua Su frowned and said: "Go back quickly, don't stay for long." She disappeared and hid in Chuizhu's body.

Rong Li pursed his lips, ignoring the mud on Chui Zhu's palm, bent down to pick it up, and heard the sound of someone going up the mountain when he listened.She raised her hand to cover her lips, coughed a few times, swayed like a weak willow, and leaned limply on a tree on one side.

The servant who came running raised his voice and shouted: "Big girl!"

"Here." Rong Li replied weakly.

When the servant saw her, he turned around and shouted, "I found the eldest girl—"
