Cicadas were singing and birds were singing, and the grass was lush. A gray magpie landed on the blue tiles of a courtyard wall.

A large walnut tree was planted in the courtyard, with its branches and vines covering the sun. Under the tree, three men sat around a small table, each holding a bowl of weak tea.

"That's about all I know." Liu Ji said after taking a sip of tea.

"Originally, the main family defaulted to be the second young master's housekeeper, but she fell in love with the eldest young master in the family. Soon the child was secretly married, but the main family didn't seem to intend to praise her. Seeing that the child was about to give birth, the girl was desperate. , the master suddenly planned to promote her again."

"It stands to reason that as a girl, even if the master's family promotes her, she will be raised as a concubine at most, but on the day of the door, she used the ceremony of being the wife of the eight-carried sedan chair. Seeing that she is about to fly up the branch and become a phoenix. , but the woman's family suddenly went crazy, dug a hole on the way to lift the sedan chair, and knocked the girl to death?"

"It sounds like a story in a story book." Li Taibai shook his head while holding the teacup.

The tea in his mouth was slightly astringent, he was not used to drinking it, so he just took a sip and put it down.

"Isn't it?" Liu Jidao, "But after thinking about it, how many years have passed, who can tell whether it's true or not? Not long after the girl left, the eldest young master of that family also hanged himself and died in love with her. It is said that The two finally turned into a pair of magpies."

"Yo? It's like a peacock flying southeast." Li Taibai said.

"It's a good story in our ten miles and eight towns." Liu Ji smiled, "Many people feel sorry for the girl, but a girl who was born can marry a young master who is a direct relative as a regular wife. What a fate it must be?"

"If it wasn't for her natal family's sudden madness, waiting for the eldest young master of that family to study and get a good reputation, or go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and fight for military merits, maybe she will be a royal wife in the future!"

"The more it sounds, the more it looks like a storybook, but even if it is a storybook, the sudden madness of the girl's family at the end feels too deliberate." Li Taibai obviously didn't take it seriously.

"Perhaps people have spread word of mouth for so many years, and there are indeed some exaggerated or misrepresented elements in it, but it is certainly not all false." Kong Ming said lightly.

"By the way, Brother Liu, did you hear that this girl has any favorite things?" Li Taibai asked.

"This is something that happened several generations ago. I heard these things from the old people. As for whether the girl has any favorite things, how can I know?" Liu Ji smiled. He was a little surprised why the other party Will ask such inexplicable questions.

"If you want to come to the girl's house, what you like is nothing more than sachets and jewelry. If you have to say something you particularly like, no matter how you think about it, it should be the object of love between her and the young master?" Liu Ji said.

"Is it a token of love?" Kong Ming pondered.

**

Flowers, under the drowsy sky, all the plants in the whole village are dead, and there are many large bright red flowers blooming on every dead, gray-black branch.

There was not a single pedestrian on the road, and the dense white fog shrouded the entire village, revealing a lifeless atmosphere. Looking at the sun in the sky, it should be evening.

"Meow--!"

A black wild cat jumped onto a dead tree full of flowers, but was frightened by two teenagers hiding in the tree and let out a scream.

"What's the situation now, where are we?" Du Zimei asked in a low voice.

"It's still in this village, but... I don't know what age that girl is now." Wang Mang looked outside vigilantly through the branches, "You said that these evil spirits can see us for a while, and can't see us for a while, what is going on? a game?"

"Ji Zhen is not here, we are completely at a loss." Du Zimei leaned on the branch and sighed, "Where do you think Ji Zhen will go? Could it be that he was captured by that female ghost?"

That day, Ruan Tao got separated from them because of a sudden change.

He and Wang Mang wandered around this village for an unknown amount of time. As for the eldest son's soul, there was no clue at all. They found that they had been wandering around the ghost lady's life, so the two of them decided to find the "forgiveness" first and then Find the whereabouts of Ruan Tao and the eldest son.

Now there is only this way, the two of them don't understand anything, without Ruan Tao in this Gu barrier, they can only catch their eyes blind.

Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to try your luck first. If you can find the "Gong Gu" by chance, when you reunite with Ruan Tao, you only need to draw a talisman to find the whereabouts of the eldest son, which can save a lot of trouble.

However, this village is very sinister, and the passage of time is also inexplicable.

Sometimes they just stayed for a stick of incense and then several years passed, and sometimes it felt like they had been there for several months, but only a day or two passed.

People and livestock in the village can sometimes see them, sometimes they can't.

Not only that, but zombies and ghosts appear from time to time.

It's really exciting!

Du Zimei heaved a long sigh, thinking that now he and brother Jujun can still take care of each other, but Ji Zhen's whereabouts are unknown.

Of course he knew that Ji Zhen was capable, much better than the two of them in this evil place, but he still couldn't help worrying.

What if Ji Zhen is dragged away by a ghost?He remembered that Ji Zhen was no match for that ghost lady.

Thinking of this, Du Zimei bit her lip worriedly.

Wang Mang patted Du Zimei's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't think too much. We haven't been caught by the female ghost, so he can still be caught?"

"Where can he go then? He got separated from us, what if he is alone and in danger, what should he do?" Du Zimei worried, "Think he's a few months younger than me. "

Wang Mang just wanted to continue to say something, but he suddenly caught sight of something in front of him from the corner of his eye. He stared at the front in a daze, and said, "I don't know if he is dangerous or not, but...we are quite dangerous now! "

"Ok?"

Du Zimei followed Wang Mang's line of sight, and saw a female zombie with white hair, disheveled hair, and blood-red eyes standing under the tree and raising her hands towards them.

The moment Du Zimei saw her, she jumped straight towards the two of them!

"My mother!!"

Du Zimei and Wang Mang jumped under the tree in an instant, and the white-haired girl jumped onto the tree in a hurry.

The two teenagers ran into the flowers very nimbly, and ran away from a small narrow path. These days, they have traveled all the roads in the entire village.

During the period, the two of them took all the things they could come across, whether it was gold hairpins and silver boxes, wooden ear buttons, broken bowls and chopsticks, because they didn't know which one would be "sacrificing Gu", so the two of them followed the spirit of "rather kill one by mistake." One hundred, we can't let one go" I picked up all the thoughts and carried them in a cloth bag.

According to Wang Mang's words, when the time comes, I will take them under the locust tree and try them one by one!There is always one who can match!

Simply this Gu barrier has some human nature, they didn't allow some hoes and rakes to touch them, otherwise it would be a bit difficult to carry these things around with ghosts and zombies.

"Where's the earring?! Did you lose it?" Wang Mang asked Du Zimei nervously while running.

"It's in my pocket!" Du Zimei replied.

"Go! Get on the bridge!"

Saying that, the two ran towards the stone bridge on the upper reaches of the small river in the east of the village.

Generally, ghosts and zombies with low morals are afraid of the river. Because their souls are trapped in their bodies, they have never drank Mengpo soup and crossed the Naihe bridge to enter the reincarnation, so they dare not cross the bridge.

If they forcefully cross the bridge and the river water reflects their shadows standing on the bridge, it will arouse the vigilance of the Yin soldiers.

This is what Du Zimei has learned from Ruan Tao in the past few months.

During this period of time, he and Wang Mang relied on the only theoretical knowledge and their cleverness to escape from the mouth of the ghost again and again.

The two stood at the bridge and were panting, then Du Zimei put down the bag and checked the contents, and nothing was lost.

Seeing that there were many things in the baggage, Du Zimei sat down on the ground so tired that she said, "When will it be dark?"

Wang Mang picked up a dead branch and began to paint on the stone bridge with soil: "It's probably still early, let's take care of it."

"Why?" Du Zimei panted heavily, looking up at him.

"Look, the world we entered was the girl's resentment, and what we saw was the scene of her life." Wang Mang said while drawing circles on the ground, "When we first came in, we met the girl's aunt. , At that time, she said that the girl was dead. However, the girl we saw in another scene was only seven years old, which shows that this is a flashback."

"Don't you pay attention to the format when you write articles? The format of this 'Gu' is a flashback. We learned of her death, and then went back step by step to see how she went from life to death."

"You mean we have to watch the whole process of how she died, so that we can find the real so-and-so?" Du Zimei asked.

"If my guess is correct, we not only have to watch how she died, but we also have to watch how she became a 'mountain god'." Wang Mang said.

Du Zimei remembered that the girl seemed to have said that in the mountain temple on that mountain, there was never any mountain god, but her.

Therefore, when Wang Mang and himself found that Ruan Tao was lost and were about to return to the mountain temple on the mountain, it was empty and the trees were lush, because she did not die at that time, so no one built a temple there.

"She said they thought she would let them go if they built a temple for her. They were wrong." Wang Mang wrote the word "villager" on the ground, "It means that she will carry out massacres like revenge after death."

"I don't know, what else will fall at this time." Wang Mang finally drew the shape of an ingot on the ground.

"Also, have you noticed that what we experienced and saw in front of this girl before she was alive is always the death." Du Zimei said, "There is no newborn child in this village, and the death is always there. .”

Yes, they came to see all the scenes of this girl's life, if they want to find one thing in common, that is - dead.

After they were separated from Ruan Tao, they saw the girl's appearance when she was seven years old—at the "funeral" of the fourth girl of the master's family.

Along with the funeral, there are pig cages, dirty water, moss, whining, screaming, and minced meat...

Just mentioning it a little, Du Zimei couldn't help shivering, he really didn't want to recall that cruel scene.

"How many deaths do you have to experience in your life? Brother Jujun, do you remember how many funeral affairs you have participated in and how many deaths you have heard from birth to now?" Du Zimei asked.

Wang Mang shook his head.

"But she remembers them all." Du Zimei said, "Not only does she remember clearly, but she even remembers the cause and method of their death."

Du Zimei pondered for a moment, and then said: "When did it start? It started when the fourth girl of the Zhou family passed away. Ji Zhen was still there at that time, do you remember what the fourth girl hugged her and said?"

The fourth girl in ragged clothes hugged the seven-year-old Youling in her arms at her funeral, and comforted her softly: "One day, this cage will be put on you, don't be afraid, remember to come back without a single Don't let them go."

"Youling's mother and father used to be the stewards of the Zhou family, and she almost grew up in Zhou's family. She grew up like a vice lady, better than most girls in the village, but it's obvious that she didn't grow up. She only started hating at the moment she died." Du Zimei analyzed, "It should be after the fourth girl who treated her like a real sister got soaked in a pig cage, she started to hate."

"So, after her parents passed away, she told Zhou's wife that she saw it." Wang Mang thought, "I thought she said she saw her parents' death, but think about her The death of her parents has nothing to do with the Zhou family, so she has no reason to say this to Mrs. Zhou's family."

"Yes! So I think when she said she saw it, it should mean that she saw how they executed the fourth girl of the Zhou family." Du Zimei said.

"Seven years old..." Wang Mang said with a headache, "We have to start looking for her when she was seven years old. The resentment is the deepest, what can she hate the most?"

"I don't think it must be hatred." Du Zimei got up and patted the robe on her body. She also picked up a dead branch from the ground and wrote two words "Reluctance" on the ground.

"What do you mean?" Wang Mang was puzzled.

Qiao Zimei explained: "Sometimes a person complains not necessarily because of hatred, but also because of extreme love and reluctance."

"Because I love it, I don't want to give it up. But I have died, and I have to throw away or accidentally lose the thing I love so much, and I will complain at this time." Du Zimei explained.

"Sure enough, poetry writers are different!" Wang Mang patted Du Zimei on the shoulder and said.

"Hey!" Du Zimei sighed, "The reason is clear, but we don't know if we can last until the last moment, I hope we won't be torn apart by this bunch of ghosts before the last moment, if Ji Zhen is still there alright……"

Wang Mang put his arms around Du Zimei's shoulders, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, even if you and the eldest son are killed by the mouth of a ghost, Ji Zhen will be fine."

"Why are you so sure?" Du Zimei didn't understand where Wang Mang's confidence in Ruan Tao came from.

It's true that Ji Zhen has some abilities that ordinary people don't have, but when she meets Liu Zhao and Gui Niangzi, who have practiced for hundreds of years, even a teenage child is still capable, right?

Wang Mang smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed upwards.

Du Zijiao saw that Zheng Laimei looked up a little inexplicably, because there was nothing but a gray sky and a weird green sun above his head.

**

At this time, Ruan Tao was really fine, and he couldn't say that he was completely fine.

This life is indeed fine, but there is something wrong with this life.

At this time, he was kneeling and sitting on the booth of Jinxiu. In front of him was a pool of hot springs, surrounded by veils soaked in water mist. The so-called fairyland was nothing more than that - a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old was bathing in the water.

Ruan Tao knelt on the carpet in the outer room, unbelievingly stretched out his hands towards his lower body, and finally lowered his head in despair.

A tear of heartache rolled down his cheek, and he quickly patted his face, comforting himself constantly.

This is an illusion woven by Gu barriers!It's an illusion!All this is just an illusion!

His second child is still there!This is just a trick of the Gu barrier!

But... this is too insidious...

Ruan Tao resisted the urge to cry bitterly, although he knew it was just an illusion, but the feeling of emptiness in his lower body was so real, it really made him feel insecure.

At this moment, only the person who was bathing inside said.

"Aren't you helping me get dressed? Little Taozi."

Hearing the sound of splashing water behind him, the little man who was bathing casually put on a green shirt and lifted the curtain with his bare feet.

Although the boy is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he is still immature, but he can't hide his allure. This young man is none other than Fusu, the eldest son of his youth.

The young man's slender body and watery white skin are really fatal to Ruan Tao, who is born with a good dragon and sun, but now his crotch is empty, and the calmness in his heart makes him despair.

He has been here and maintained his current state for half a month.

I don't know what went wrong in the first layer of Gu, Ruan Tao was directly involved in the second layer of Gu, where the eldest son has one soul and two souls.

One soul and two souls are not the whole soul of a person, so the cognition of oneself and the world will be somewhat confused, and the world in its "Gu" follows the cognition of its soul.

The eldest son doesn't know what's wrong, his cognition of himself stays at the time when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and he gave an identity to Ruan Tao, who should have been strangers at this time and appeared out of thin air—his Close servant, little Taozi.

"What's wrong? Why are the eye sockets red?" Fu Su put the thin shirt on her body, and said with concern.

Ruan Tao wants to cry but has no tears, my son!Even if you give me the status of a guard!

Where on earth do I, Ruan Tao, look like a eunuch?
