I involuntarily grabbed the mahogany sword at hand, and straightened the dog tooth on my chest.I am ashamed to say that after so many things, although my courage has been tempered a lot, but at this time, I still feel guilty for a while.
The word ghost has been the most taboo topic in people's mind since ancient times.Although I know that humans and ghosts are just two forms of existence in this world, I still feel a little nervous when dealing with ghosts.It can be said that I have never been able to pass the level that ordinary people are afraid of ghosts.The third uncle said that if you can't pass this test, you won't make rapid progress in either cultivation or Taoism.
And at this moment, in addition to the sound of footsteps outside, there was a vague shout from the yard.The voice was very soft at first, but then it became louder and louder.But although the voice was very loud, if you listen carefully, you can't really hear it.It sounds like someone stuffed a ball of cotton in their throat.
The shout did not seem to be made by one person, but a cry made by many people together.
The reason why they couldn't hear clearly was because those people were not shouting in unison.After shouting for a while, the shouting finally became orderly. After listening carefully, I could barely hear the content of the shouting.
The shout was like a labor chant, neat and rhythmic.One of them was leading the shout.
"Fourteen... Hey, hey-hey-hey, split into two groups... Hey, hey-hey-hey, six and eight, hey, hey-hey-hey, hardwood... ...hey, hey-hey-hey...you're on your way...hey, hey-hey-hey, guys...hey, hey-hey-hey, come on...hey, hey - Hey-hey..."
The sound of chant is endless, and I will never hear it wrong.
The voice is very penetrating, and it is also very visual after shouting, so that you can immediately imagine the scene of them working in the forest farm with great fanfare.
Although I felt guilty, I still couldn't help my strong curiosity, so I boldly opened the door a crack.I looked out through the crack of the door.
The moonlight outside was very strong. Under the moonlight, I vaguely saw a team of workers walking back and forth in the yard vaguely.
The sound of the chant came from them.
Under the moonlight, their bodies looked a bit hollow and hazy, as if a ball of white gas gathered into a human form.
They walked from one side of the yard to the other.After reaching the end, he turned his head back and walked back.
I kept staring at them, and walked back and forth like this no less than a dozen times.The voice of the chant kept shouting, and the footsteps kept stopping, but they didn't mean to stop at all.
I got goosebumps all over my body, and I quickly grabbed the wad of paper money my third uncle left me, hurriedly set it on fire, and started burning it at the door.
Money can turn ghosts around, the temptation of paper money is not small for ordinary ghosts.Ordinary little ghosts, as long as you burn paper money for them, they won't pester you anymore.
But after I burned all the paper money, the disturbing chant still lingered in the yard.
And the ashes of the burnt paper money were blown up by a gust of wind, hovering in the mid-air of the yard, and they did not disperse for a long time.The ghosts who chanted chant seemed indifferent to the paper money.
I'm a little discouraged, I'm not even interested in paper money, so what do these people want.
I stared nervously at the team walking back and forth, and soon discovered a problem. In their cell, the first sentence they shouted was, fourteen people.But such a group of people walked back and forth more than ten times, and I counted them, but there were only ten people in this team, and four people were missing.
This number is not right?
After discovering this, I accidentally pushed the door open and walked into the yard.
Chapter 379 The Burnt Corpse
When I thought about it afterwards, I was still too impatient.You said the number of ghosts outside is none of my business?Why do I care about this?
But at that time, I didn't know what was wrong, it seemed that I was obsessed with ghosts, and I wanted to go out to find out what happened.
I went out the door and slowly moved towards the middle of the yard.
But before I got close to those ghosts, those figures that I could see clearly disappeared in an instant.
The yard is illuminated by the moonlight, bright and clean.As if nothing happened.
I shook my head and turned back to the room.
Just as I turned around, I saw four people standing at the door of the room where I stayed.
The four people were all dressed in white clothes, motionless.
They were guarding my door, and suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, which made me exclaim in shock: "Ah...who?"
My voice echoed in the yard, scaring me out of my wits.
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the bodies of those four people suddenly flashed with light, and they were actually on fire.
After a while, I watched those four people being burned by the flames from their respective bodies.A more intense smell of burning paper filled the air.
Only then did I realize that these four seemingly real people were all paper figurines.
And in the smell of burning paper, there was another unpleasant smell.The smell is a bit like sulfur, a little pungent.
"Fourteen people... hey, hey-hey-hey..."
Suddenly, the chant sounded again behind me.
I turned around suddenly, and saw the group of ghosts that were originally in the yard reappeared.And this time, instead of walking back and forth in the yard, they walked straight towards me.
Ten, plus these four paper figurines at the door, isn't that exactly fourteen?
Is this a coincidence, or does it imply something?
I didn't have time to think about it, so I ran forward in a hurry, trying to rush into the house in one breath.
Only then did I realize how reckless it was for me to run out of the house. I remembered that there was a talisman posted on the door by my third uncle, and I could only hope that the talisman could save my life.
Sister Hua said that someone once came in to investigate the haunting and died tragically in the yard.Will I follow in his footsteps?
The third uncle had originally pasted a Taoist talisman on the door in order to save my life.Who knew that I actually forgot about this, and ran into the yard by accident.
Now there are strange things happening before and after me. In front of me are four burning paper figurines, and behind me are ten ghosts chanting.I can no longer afford to think about it.
I didn't dare to neglect, I accelerated my feet, and with a dash, I had already rushed to the door.
Who knew that the paper figurine, which had been almost burned, did not disappear, but became clearer.
I gritted my teeth and shook my head.
I quickly made a judgment. I concluded that after the four paper figurines were burned, there were still figures. This must be an illusion.Even if it's a ghost, as long as I have enough yang energy, I should be able to rush through it with a single breath.
So I hesitated a little, and my speed didn't slow down, and I ran directly towards the four figures blocking the door.
If all goes well, I can pass through the four shadows and rush into the house.I believe in third uncle's Taoism, that Taoist talisman will definitely save my life.
I was thinking here, and I did the same thing. Almost in a blink of an eye, I bumped into a figure guarding the door.
What I never expected was that my judgment was wrong.
It wasn't a ghost, and I couldn't pass through the shadow, but hit him hard with a bang, almost knocking my body apart.
The man's body was as hard as a wall.When I stuck to his body, the strong sulfur smell became even stronger.
This is not a shadow, but a real person.
At the same time, the other three people also turned around at the same time, and the four of them surrounded me tightly.
Only then did I have time to notice the faces of the four of them, they were full of lifelessness, and they were not alive at first glance.
Fuck.Another corpse!
My mind is buzzing. Ever since I came out to run the house with my third uncle, I have dealt with corpses too many times. Every time, it gives me a headache. Sometimes, they are more difficult than ghosts, and I almost died because of it several times. .
So when I saw these corpses, my first reaction was to run.
I waved the mahogany sword in my hand and swung it towards the corpse at the main entrance.I didn't ask for the success of this sword, but aimed at a gap between them. After I swung the sword, I rushed towards the gap with a dull head.
It really worked, my sword forced the corpse away, and the gap between him and the other person instantly widened.I rushed out of it desperately.
There was the door in front of me, but when I rushed closer, I realized that the talisman paper on the door had been burned at some point, and half of it had been burned, leaving only a small half still on the door frame.This thing is useless if it is not complete.
"Damn it." I cursed, not daring to stay here any longer, and ran straight to the back of the room.At this moment, I have no time to take care of other things, I just want to escape from here first.
The third uncle is not here, I have no idea at all, and I don't have the strength to fight them to the death.
I didn't dare to look back at them, and ran back desperately.Fortunately, it is not very far from the courtyard wall behind, and soon I rushed under the courtyard wall.
When I was panting and stopped at the base of the wall, I heard footsteps coming from behind me, and those corpses really caught up.
The courtyard wall was not low. I tried to climb to the top of the wall a few times, but failed. Instead, I was exhausted and leaned on the wall to breathe hard.
I had to sneak a look behind me, and the four people were already standing side by side behind me.
For some unknown reason, their faces and the exposed skin on their bodies were all scorched black.The facial features on the face were twisted into a ball, and the expression could not be seen clearly at all, only the two white eyeballs stood out, and their bodies seemed to be burned to death.
The sulfur smell made my brain hurt, and I stared at them in horror.They also stared at me calmly, not knowing why they didn't attack me.
This made my heart relax a little bit. Who knows, at this moment, something suddenly fell from the outside of the wall. I was defenseless and completely covered by that thing.My body was completely covered by that thing, and my eyes couldn't see anything.
"Damn it. What the hell is this?" I frantically tried to remove the things covering my body.But for a while, he couldn't follow the rules, and the mess became more and more chaotic.
At this time, I felt another thing fall on me, this time it seemed to be a person, and it directly smashed me to the ground.This smashed me so badly that I almost lost my breath.
Chapter 380 Blood of Danyang Dao
I subconsciously thought it was one of those four people, and I became even more frightened, yelling and yelling loudly.
"It's me, your third uncle, what are you shouting for?"
The third uncle's voice reached my ears, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.
The third uncle slapped and slapped outside, and took the thing that was covering me.When I got up from the ground, I realized that I was actually covered by two military overcoats.
The third uncle held two military coats in his hand, stared at me and asked, "Didn't I tell you not to come out of the house? What are you doing here?"
As soon as I heard it, I became anxious: "Nonsense, you didn't see..."
Saying that, I pointed behind me.As a result, before I could finish my sentence, I realized that the four people behind me had disappeared again without knowing when.
"Fuck. Where's the person?"
I looked around, and it was quiet here now, nothing unusual at all.But the smell of sulfur still persists, which means that what I saw just now was not a hallucination.Could it be that the arrival of the third uncle scared them away?
The third uncle asked, "Yangzi, what's going on?"
I asked angrily: "Don't ask me first, let me ask you. Didn't you say you could come back before dark? Why did you come back at this time?"
The third uncle blushed and explained to me, and I realized that this time I was cheated by the third uncle again.
Because with the experience of the third uncle, he could tell from walking around the yard during the day that there must be something wrong here at night.However, if the third uncle is here all the time, the Taoist aura generated by his practice will make some ghosts stay away.So he made an excuse and left, trying to sneak back as soon as it got dark.Who knew that after he went out and bought two military coats for the night, he saw that it was still early, so he went to a bathhouse to take a bath.As a result, the soak was so comfortable that I fell asleep.
When he woke up, he found that it was already dark, so he started to run to the freight yard.When he got outside the wall, he threw two military overcoats in first, then jumped over the wall and landed on me just in time.
After understanding the whole story, I pointed to my third uncle and said, "Li Dagang, tell me how many times you have tricked me. You haven't changed at all."
The third uncle pouted: "Nephew, this time it was an accident, it was an accident. I told you not to leave the house, who told you to come out?"
I waved my hand impatiently: "Don't talk about it, someone was chasing me just now, it seems that it is not a living person, but a corpse. I also saw..."
I told Uncle San what I saw and experienced.
The third uncle looked at the sky and smiled: "Okay, I probably know what's going on. Let's go, follow me to find them..."
I was taken aback, and quickly said: "Uncle San, our top priority now is to find Liang Yue. Can we let the matter of the freight yard go for a while? Now that those ghosts have receded and the well water does not interfere with the river water, they didn't do anything to me. So, what are we going to provoke them for? Can't we study the freight yard after we figure out what happened to Liang Yue?"
At this time, the temperature here is even lower, and the wind hits my body, making me feel cool.I was shivering while talking, the down jacket we bought in the store, I don’t know if it is a low-quality product, and it doesn’t work at all at this time.
The third uncle didn't care, threw a military coat on me, and said: "You know what? Don't we have no news from Liang Yue now? We are waiting for Lao Xiao here, and we are idle, just playing... ..."
I put the military coat on my body. This is the oldest style military coat in Northeast China, the same style as Andy Lau.This thing has been popular for decades. Although the style is old, it is very resistant to wind and is deeply loved by the local people.After I put it on, I felt a lot warmer. It seems that there is a reason why everything lasts for a long time and can be passed down.
Wrapped in a military overcoat, I listened to the movement in the yard in front of me, and now except for the whistling wind, I couldn't hear any other strange sounds.Although the horn sounded scary, it still lingers in my ears from time to time.But I know that this is all because the sound of the chant imprinted too deeply on me and touched me too much.
Thinking of everything I had just experienced, I still had lingering fears, so I timidly asked Third Uncle: "Then...are you sure?"
Third Uncle waved his hand: "What you said, don't you believe your Third Uncle? The big winds and waves are here, and this small freight yard can overturn your third uncle's huge ship?"
I nodded and stretched out my thumb: "Third Uncle, I have to say, have you made progress?"
The third uncle blinked: "Progress? Is my Taoism improved?"
I shook my head: "Your bragging ability has improved, and you can use metaphors."
The third uncle rolled his eyes angrily: "Fuck off, are you going? If not, I can go. I don't have time to spend time with you."
Saying that, Third Uncle wrapped his military overcoat angrily and walked towards the front yard.
At this time, I suddenly found a feeling.
When I was in Shoushantun, I really wanted to go back to the days when I broke down the haunted house with my third uncle.At that time, we both had nothing, and saying that we started from nothing was flattering us.At that time, the two of us were just like two tramps, we owed money to the Wu family, and we gambled with our own lives.
But that kind of day was thrilling, but I enjoyed it very much.
Enjoy the joy of success, enjoy the process of searching for clues, I will even enjoy the scene where my third uncle and I ran away after being in danger, and I will also enjoy the time when I and my third uncle spanked each other.
Sometimes I also ask myself, is my brain broken?But frightened and terrified, narrowly escaped, what is there to miss?Isn't it good to live in peace and stability?Now that I have money, there is no need to take risks anymore.When I came back, my third uncle once persuaded me like this.But I found that I have fallen into this kind of life.
It turned out that when I thought about these things, I didn't have an answer.After talking with my grandfather, I often think now, is it because I am a descendant of my grandfather, a descendant of Danyang Dao, and all the blood in my blood is Danyang Dao's blood?
The word Yang for my Li Yang is taken from Danyang, isn't it?
I looked at the back of the third uncle, and suddenly found this feeling. I felt hot in my heart, and hurried to catch up.
