Fear Collection

Although Xie Jinxi couldn't open these boxes in the yard under the supervision of Xie's father and mother during the day, it was still possible to observe the external features.

These boxes are basically the same size, with no decoration on the outside, and it is almost impossible to tell the difference between them at first glance.

But there was a ghost show last night, and a lot of blood gushed out from the curtain at the end of the play, and that blood would also stain the shadow puppets.

Xie Jinxi's nose couldn't smell the residual bloody smell, but Muta could.

"Behind the curtain, the second box from the left."

With the help of Muta, Xie Jinxi went straight to the target, grabbed the handle outside the box, lifted it up, and opened the box directly.

That's right, none of these boxes were locked, which is why Xie Jinxi didn't try to find the keys during the day.

The box containing the luggage and the suicide note was just placed in the yard without a lock, which was the same as Xie Fu Xie Mu's room, maybe... Maybe it was because there was no need to lock it.

The time of death of the villagers varies, but the time span is as long as 21 years. If Xie's father and Xie's mother are the last group of people who died, there is really no need to lock them up.

After opening the box, the first thing Xie Jinxi saw was a layer of thin wood.

Xie Jinxi reached out and touched the wooden board. This thin wooden board seemed to be ebony, with high oil content and greasy tentacles. When it was opened, there was a row of shadow puppets and a letter wrapped in kraft paper underneath.

Xie Jinxi's goal was only that letter.

The moment he reached for the letter, the flames jumping in the nearby brazier instantly turned dark blue.

Xie Jinxi subconsciously turned his head to look at the brazier, and at the same time his vision changed, he met a pair of eyes watching him from behind the window.

That location... That was the location where he hid behind the window to watch a ghost show last night!

Those eyes should be Xie's mother's eyes.

However, the eyes that always looked at him with kind and gentle eyes during the day, now only left with endless coldness and malice.

At the same time, Xie Jinxi heard the sound of a chair.

It seemed that someone stood up from the chair... At the same time, Xie Jinxi heard footsteps.

Is this... Father Xie?

Xie Jinxi glanced towards the door from the corner of his eye. He just came out to get a letter, so he didn't close the door.

Xie Jinxi heard approaching footsteps, but saw no ghost.

Did this happen because he took the letter?Got the... letter?

Does this count as 'debt'?No, there is a kinship relationship, this should not be considered a debt, why is that... this is the second rule of killing?So is burning paper money still useful?

Xie Jinxi also brought paper money with him before he came out, and he can empathize with him. Although he is currently being targeted by two resentful spirits, it is not particularly critical.

But the question now is, can burning paper money still count as a way of life?Because he didn't owe his parents any debts, this situation happened entirely because he picked up the suicide note.

Should he just wait for the ghost of Xie Fu Xie Mu to contact him now, or...try to send paper money?If he empathizes directly, he can not only get more information, but also control two more soul cores.

but……

He has already obtained the suicide note, which overlaps with the scope of information related to Xie's father and mother's experience before his death, and the soul core... If all the villagers in Sansuo Village are ghosts, then he is not short of these two soul cores.

After all, he just...doesn't want to and doesn't want to.

"Follow your heart." Muta understood what Xie Jinxi was hesitating about.

During the day, thanking father and mother for their love for children is unquestionable, but complaining ghosts are ghosts, and after becoming ghosts, they have nothing but resentment and malice.

Xie Jinxi took away the suicide note and violated the second death rule. If he didn't do anything to survive, he would still be killed by the resentful spirit of Xie's father and mother.

But people are not ghosts after all, and it is impossible to have only negative emotions.

Xie Jinxi gave up sharing the feelings with Xie's father and mother, and decided to try with paper money first.

Footsteps had already stepped out of the door, approaching him.

The flames that turned dark blue seemed unable to provide any more heat. Standing in the thick fog, Xie Jinxi was almost frozen by the chill that pierced his soul, and even his thinking was a little sluggish.

As Father Xie's invisible resentful spirit approached, the blood curse on Xie Jinxi's hand was activated again, bloody wounds climbed up the knuckles and spread to the roots of the fingers, and the blood dripped into the thick fog.

Ghost...paper money...fire...

No, not right!To put it into the brazier, it is not enough to just take out paper money.

Fortunately, Xie Jinxi was not too far away from the brazier. He moved his legs stiffly and slowly, moved to the brazier in slow motion, let go and threw the paper money into it.

The dark blue fire devoured the paper money, and the next moment, the flame returned to its normal color.

The sound of footsteps disappeared, Xie Jinxi's body began to warm up, he turned his head to look at the window, and the pair of eyes looking at him at the window also disappeared.

When Xie Jinxi returned to normal, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly closed the box, walked into the open door and returned to the room without hesitation, and didn't care that he and the two wraiths were probably still in the room at this time.

Xie Jinxi didn't stay outside, but went all the way back to her room, plugged the door latch, opened the suicide note by the firelight outside, and quickly read it.

【Son, when you read this suicide note, we are already dead.

I...we actually don't expect you to see this suicide note, if you can see it, it means...you will follow in the footsteps of your parents.

We deserve what we deserve, but you are innocent.

Our family's ancestors have been actors for generations, and they have also worked in the shadow class raised by the noble family.But in the last years of the former dynasty, when there was turmoil outside the mountain and the government searched, my ancestors of the Xie family fled into this deep mountain and took refuge in the Feng family.

I, the Xiejia shadow puppets, perform for people as well as for ghosts. The skins I use... are indeed taken from human bodies.Therefore, it should be punished by heaven, and the Xie family knew it well.

After the ancestors fled to the deep mountains and took refuge in Feng's family, although they escaped unharmed, it was difficult to have any heirs.Therefore, I can only accept Feng's padlock's proposal, asking for a lock and a child. Although this lock allows children who should not be born to stand firmly in the world, it also makes these children have to return to Sansuo Village every year.

It's been like this from generation to generation, and now including your mother and I, we were all born with padlocks, just like those birds in cages, going out to let the wind go, but eventually we have to come back here.

But the Feng family is different...they are too deeply involved, they can't even take a step away from Sansuo Village, no, they can't leave the mansion where Yin and Yang are integrated.

If it was the past years, it would be inseparable if it was inseparable, but the world has already changed.Those of us who were able to leave temporarily went out to do business, bought cement, wires, and pipes, and came back to rebuild the village.

With electricity, there are so many new things, which is why your parents sent you out of the mountains to go to school.

Until 1998, in the early spring of that year, we rescued a man who got lost in the village. He said he was a college student who came out to collect folk songs.He lived in Feng's house, and made the young master of Feng's family surnamed Feng want to leave the deep mountains.

Feng Fei, Feng Li, a pair of sons and daughters of Master Feng, it's ridiculous that he may also have the heart to leave the mansion in the mountains, but he can't do it himself, he can only place his hopes on his children.So when Fengfei made that... that sinful proposal, that is, one life for another, to give one person's life to the underworld, in exchange for Fengfei to really fly out of this mountain.

Master Feng, he...agreed.

Yin marriage, but this time it's not a paper bride, but marrying a living woman to the underworld in exchange for Fengfei's key, allowing him to open the lock and leave the deep mountain.

As for the college student who came to collect folk songs, everyone in the village has a 'superior knowledge'. The college student who came to collect folk songs, poured a bowl of ecstasy soup, and he drowsily forgot about Feng's family and Sansuo Village. He just thought he was in the mountains and forests I slept there all night, and found my way down the mountain the next day.

He was able to leave simply because he was a man.

Sansuo Village has everyone, fish and dragons mixed together, and naturally there are kidnappers, Feng's family promised Wang Guaizi a lot of money to abduct a female student from outside.Sansuo Village is not big, so this matter cannot be hidden at all.

Those who count the good times, those who make wedding dresses, those who tie up the sedan chair... and those who are silent like me and your mother.

That year, on July [-]th, at midnight, the sedan chair was carried directly under the locust tree, and a fire broke out...the yin marriage was over.

It didn't take long for the fire to burn, and it started to rain, maybe God couldn't stand it.

But there was no sedan chair, no corpse, and a large living person was burned faster and more thoroughly than the previous paper pierced people. Only a charred dead wood and a handful of ashes were left, wet by the rain, with nothing to do with it. The soil on the ground was turned into mud, and there was nothing left.

But soon enough, we learn that there isn't anything left... at least resentment and guilt.

On July 22 of that year, the seventh day of the Ghost Marriage, there was no one alive in the Feng family.According to the depth of the crime, after seven years, it will be the person who provided the sedan chair, wedding dress, etc., and after another seven years, it will be the turn of the silent person like me and your mother.

In the past 14 years, we have tried various methods, but we cannot do without Sansuo Village. Our parents have accepted their fate and are ready to atone for their sins.

But... but... what if Ghost Married Mother is still not satisfied?What if she didn't even want to let go of the child who didn't know anything back then?

After all, the key to the lock has always been kept by the underworld, and she is now the bride of the underworld, and the key is in her hands. She is unwilling to let you go, and you will eventually return to Three Locks Village one day.

14 years ago you were just a seven-year-old child, you didn't understand anything!

You should be 21 years old now, and you should be a college student now.Thinking of the college students who were rescued in the early spring of that year, they were clean and seemed to be shining. You are also like that now.

Parents will not be able to see the next seven years, neither the 21-year-old you nor the 28-year-old you.

If you really return to Sansuo Village, then Feng Fei may be the one to survive.Fengfei relied on the life of Ghost Married Mother to exchange the key and unlock the lock before leaving Sansuo Village.He will never come back even if he dies. There is a huge crowd outside, and there is no lock as a link, so Ghost Married Mother will not be able to find him.

Go to the ancestral hall to find the genealogy, there is Fengfei's birth date on it, seize the opportunity of the sacrifice, burn the birth date and padlock Fengfei again, so that he can come back to accept the punishment he deserved.In this way, it is also a life for another life, Feng Fei's life in exchange for the ghost married woman to let you go.

But you have to pay attention... Feng's parents will never let you get it easily, they are ghosts, parents and other villagers have also tried, unfortunately... not to mention the obstruction of Feng's parents, those villagers, only one survived Who is willing to give up the opportunity to others?

Parents think that people like us, who acted as silent bystanders with a clear mind, are also accomplices. Even if Fengfei's lock is re-hanged, Ghost Married Mother will not make a deal with us.

But you were only seven years old, after all you were only seven years old...

Parents hope that you will never see this suicide note, but if you do, the only last wish of parents is to hope that you burn the shadow puppet box.

Shadow puppets, figures and ghosts, this kind of ghost show should also be buried in the past with old bones like us.

Don't erect monuments and build graves for us, as long as you donate cold clothes every year during the Qingming Festival, and when you donate burning paper to lonely ghosts and wild ghosts, remember to burn a copy for your parents.

In 2012, the first day of July, the beginning of the ghost month. 】
