The years of reselling the haunted house

Ju Chengan couldn't break free. Although those spiders were not as big as the ones that attacked me, they were each about the size of a fist. Thousands of these spiders attacked together and spit out spider silk together. scene.

Ju Chengan was soon entangled by the spider's thread, even though he struggled desperately, it was useless.He opened his mouth and yelled twice, but I guess I was also fighting that big spider at that time, so I didn't hear it at all.Even if he heard it, he had no time to save him.

Chapter 2047 Sea Poison Spider

At that time, the large group of spiders attacked Ju Chengan, they didn't rush or bite, they just spit out spider silk to entangle him, those spider silk quickly formed a spider chrysalis, wrapped Ju Chengan layer by layer, and finally trapped him inside.

At the beginning, Ju Chengan was still able to move, struggling desperately inside, trying to break out of the chrysalis, but his physical strength was quickly exhausted, and those spider threads became tighter and tighter, and finally bound him tightly, and he also began to feel It became difficult to breathe, and finally lost consciousness at some point.

We didn't get him out of it until we showed up.

"Brother, what happened to you, is she... all right? What's going on?" Ju Chengan asked after finishing all this, pointing at Shi Xuan'er.

"She, she was..." I was about to introduce the situation when I found Shi Xuan'er, when Shi Xuan'er suddenly blushed and shouted: "Brother, don't tell, don't tell him."

I understand that Shi Xuan'er is afraid that Ju Chengan will find out about her embarrassing things and make fun of her.

After all, it's not good to talk about the situation on her side, because she was greedy, she ate those dirty things, and she was turned into a stone man.

She definitely doesn't want more people to know about this experience, especially for a little girl.

When Ju Chengan heard it, he became interested and kept asking.

Shi Xuan'er gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and glared at Ju Chengan.

I know that these two people just like to bicker, as if there is always such a pair of live treasures around me.It turned out to be the third uncle and Ma Su, who could quarrel on the phone.God seems to be afraid that I will be too lonely, and my third uncle and Ma Su are not here, so now I have sent these two little ones.

Of course, I know that the two of them are just unforgiving in their mouths, and they are unambiguous about major issues.For example, Ju Chengan felt that something might happen to Shi Xuan'er before, and Ju Chengan was also very anxious, and came here from time to time regardless of the danger, also to save that girl.

Similarly, when seeing Ju Chengan in danger, Shi Xuan'er rushed forward despite her recovery.And she was the one who cut open the spider chrysalis and rescued Ju Chengan without hesitation.

So for the verbal fight between the two of them, under normal circumstances, I never intervene, and I also know that they love to play and make trouble, which is also the nature of young people.In fact, I am not very old, but I have experienced many things. Inadvertently, I feel that I have matured a lot.

Although we are temporarily out of danger, the environment we are in is still relatively special, and we have not fully figured out the situation here, so I can only wave my hand and say: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go and see Li Laohai How is your boat repaired?"

"What are you doing here?" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side of the street.

We were startled, turned around and found Li Laohai standing at the intersection of the street, looking timidly at this side.

"Brother Li?" We hurried over: "Why are you here?"

I saw Li Laohai holding a boat knife in his hand. I know that kind of knife. It is a tool used on the boat to beat and pry open the salvaged shellfish. It basically has no blade.This kind of knife can only be used as a hammer in a fight.

"I... found that you were all gone down there, and I was afraid that something would happen to you, so... I came here... What are you doing here? What... is this place?"

Li Laohai held the broken knife and looked around in a daze, completely unaware of what happened here, and was even more curious about the environment here.

Not to mention, Li Laohai's move moved us very much.At least when we are in danger, he can come to us with a knife.We hadn't yelled at him much about the ship's anchoring, and Ju Chengan even made a move.

Li Laohai ignored the previous suspicions, which shows that Li Laohai is still a very good person.

Seeing Li Laohai coming, I have many questions and want to find answers from him.First, I took Li Laohai to find a few spiders that we had killed, and asked him: "Brother Li, is this a spider? Do you recognize it?"

"This is... this is a sea poisonous spider... have you encountered this?"

After Li Laohai saw it, his body trembled, and he asked with his eyes wide open.

"Sea poisonous spider? What is its origin?" I asked in surprise.

"I don't know what their names are, but we people on the beach call them that. When we go out on the boat, we are very taboo to meet them. Because they are often group activities, once we encounter them, we will encounter a piece of land. , They generally move around reefs or islands. I once encountered this kind of sea poisonous spiders on the sea at that time. They shoot a kind of spider silk from their tails, which will entangle our boat, The other side is entangled on the nearby reef. At that time, our boat will be uneasy. Fortunately, at that time, our boat had just caught a lot of seafood, fish and shrimp. We threw the salvaged fish and shrimp down, A large group of sea poisonous spiders ate up the fish and shrimps before they retreated. It took us a lot of effort to clean up those spider threads. If there was no food on board at that time, the consequences would be disastrous. So we When leaving the boat, try to avoid docking near islands and reefs in the open sea."

After hearing what Li Laohai said, we can basically be sure that this kind of spider is the sea poisonous spider that Li Laohai said.

I just don't know why these poisonous sea spiders besieged us. Could it be that this island is their territory?Or is it because we didn't bring food?

"Then are all these sea poisonous spiders this big? Are there any bigger ones?" I asked again.

Li Laohai shook his head: "Anyway, I haven't seen it or heard of it? Why, have you encountered a bigger one?"

I nodded: "Brother, you come here with us to have a look."

Since I know my repellents are effective at repelling those sea poisonous spiders, I'm not worried about them coming back.

We took Li Laohai and walked back to the street where I met the big spider.

On that street, there were still a group of people walking back and forth in it, following the walking dead.

Seeing so many people suddenly, Li Laohai was startled.

"Don't be afraid, they are all dead, I want you to see, do you know anyone?" I pulled Li Laohai and asked.

"They... are all dead? How can the dead return..."

After hearing what I said, Li Laohai was so frightened that his legs became weak and he kept sitting on the ground.

It looked like he was about to collapse on the ground in fright.

I hurriedly picked him up and said, "Don't be afraid, although they are dead, they pose no threat. I asked you to come here to see if there is anyone you know."

"Ah? Oh...okay..." Li Laohai's legs were still weak and he didn't dare to go inside.

Chapter 2048 The Missing Fisherman

Fortunately, those people on the street have been wandering on this street, and there are always times when they turn to our side.

Although the white lantern was extinguished, the moonlight was still bright.Those people approached us, and Li Laohai could clearly see their faces.

"Wang Lao Liu?"

"Zhao Er stick?"

"You are...Xu Sanwang?"

Names popped out of Li Laohai's mouth one by one.Of course, he didn't know all of these people, but there were five or six people who could name them.

Li Laohai was already stunned. When these people passed by us one after another and returned to the original route, Li Laohai's face was pale, and he stammered to us: "They... are all Ping Hai Jun and I used to fish together, that Xu Sanwang was a boy who grew up with me. He usually only throws three nets when he goes out to sea, and never catches more. But every net is full of harvest, but he is in the sea. It has been less than half a year since I disappeared at sea, why... how come here?"

I nodded: "It seems that my guess is correct. Most of the fishermen who disappeared at sea have arrived here. It's just that I haven't figured out how they appear here."

"Then... can they still live?" Li Laohai looked at those people with a sad face.

"What are you thinking? I'm already dead, how can I come back?" Ju Chengan said.

I looked around and said: "What we can do is to find out the situation here, and don't let more fishermen appear here. But here is too cloudy, and it is not good for the body after a long time. We still Let’s retreat to the beach first, if there is anything else, we will talk about it at dawn tomorrow.”

The long-haired weirdo hasn't shown up since he was stabbed and escaped by me. I don't know if he is still on this island.If he makes a comeback, I don't know if I'll be able to deal with him.

So we decided to leave this abandoned village and think about things later.

We quickly left there and returned to where we came ashore.

Li Laohai's boat was still docked there. In order to avoid further attacks from sea poisonous spiders and other creatures, we lit a bunch of bonfires and arranged night shifts.

Li Laohai's boat was seriously damaged as he judged, and it would take at least two days to repair it.

Li Laohai went to tinker with his boat again, the three of us sat down, I looked at Shi Xuan'er, and said, "Shi Xuan, if you don't want to tell me, you have to tell me what happened. Why did you suddenly appear over there? Did you smell the scent?"

Shi Xuan'er also knows that we must know her experience.When I passed by, although I found Shi Xuan, it was already one step too late.I didn't see what happened before.

Shi Xuan'er snorted angrily, but she also had to talk about how she was in danger.

At that time, she was behind the rock, ready to light the fire to dry the clothes.When she came back after picking up some branches and was about to light the fire, she suddenly found a figure on the hillside.

Shi Xuan'er was very vigilant and didn't disturb us, she climbed up the hill by herself.

What happened then was the same as what happened to us afterwards.She didn't find any figures, but she found the abandoned small town.

At the same time, there is that strong fragrance, which is more tempting to Shi Xuan'er than us.

So much so that she couldn't wait to rush down, she thought that there would be people living in the villages and towns below, so she went to buy some food to have a good time.

After she rushed down, she realized that there was no one in the village.But the fragrance is still wafting away.

Of course Shi Xuan'er wanted to find the source of the scent. Unlike us, she was extremely sensitive to this scent, and quickly locked onto the street I went to.I also saw the delicacies on the chopping board.

I have seen the allure of that kind of food, and I couldn't help but want to try it.What's more, Shi Xuan'er likes delicious food, she likes to eat, so when she sees those things, she naturally wants to feast on them.She ate a lot at that time, but she didn't feel full, so she just stood there and ate and ate, without even thinking about who the owner of those things was?

But after Shi Xuan'er finished eating, she felt that her body was a little heavy, and when she raised her arms, she also had some difficulty.

Only then did she realize that something was wrong.

She wants to get out of here as soon as possible and go find us.But when she just turned around and took two steps, she heard a voice inside the shop.

Shi Xuan'er looked back and found a strange long-haired man inside.At this time, Shi Xuan'er's body was completely stiff, she could only see the strange man, but she couldn't move her body, and couldn't speak.

I knew this was probably how her body petrified.

When I found her, I found that she was a real stone statue.At that time, I was ashamed, thinking that she would never come back.

But according to what Shi Xuan'er said, she didn't feel that her body had turned into stone, she just couldn't move it.

I guess there must be a fuss about those foods. After eating them, the body will undergo such changes.It's just that Shi Xuan'er is a living person, so there is still a possibility of recovery.And those who wandered here may have died.

Although Shi Xuan'er was petrified, she still had senses and senses.When I found it, I was about to eat that sausage, Shi Xuan'er was very anxious, wanted to remind me but couldn't express it.

Fortunately, I woke up in time and didn't eat that thing.Thinking about it now, at that time I felt something strange behind me, it should have come from Shi Xuan'er.

I knew what happened later, and I also told the brief story.

"Aha... I see..." After hearing this, Ju Chengan was really excited. He stood up abruptly and looked at Shi Xuan'er.

With a gloomy face, Shi Xuan'er gritted her teeth and said to Ju Chengan: "You'd better think about it before you talk about it."

I also said sternly: "Cheng An, don't make jokes. You must know that Shi Xuan'er saved you."

"That's right, you don't even recognize your savior, you're ungrateful." Seeing me supporting her, Shi Xuan'er became more confident.

Ju Chengan looked innocent: "What are you talking about? When am I going to laugh at her? I mean, I seem to know who that long-haired weirdo is."

Both Shi Xuan'er and I were a little embarrassed, because chasing lovers didn't mean that at all.

I hurriedly asked to resolve the embarrassment: "Do you know who that person is? You saw it too?"

Ju Chengan shook his head: "No. I judged it from your introduction. I've heard that there is such a number one character in Taoism, and the characteristics are very close to what you said. Basically, it should be he."

"Then tell me, who is he?" I asked hastily.

Chapter 2049 The Ghost Cook

Ju Chengan said: "I think he should be the well-known ghost cook in the Xuanmen arena."

"Ghost cook? Is he a ghost cook? This... Don't even mention it, it's really possible that it's him." Shi Xuan'er agreed after hearing this.

I know Shi Xuan'er and Ju Cheng'an, although they are not as old as me, but because Shi Xuan'er has lived in the Taoist arena for a long time, she is no less knowledgeable than me, on the contrary, she is higher than me.Ju Chengan also grew up in Qingyun Palace in Qingyun Mountain, and as a well-known sect in Taoism, Qingyun Palace naturally needs to know many things in the world, and Ju Chengan knows all these things well, this It is also one of the reasons why the Golden Eagle Guardian let him follow me.

And these two people know about this ghost cook, so it can be seen that this person must be very well-known in Taoism, but it is a pity that I am ignorant and do not know this person.

"Ghost cook... is it a cook who cooks for the dead and ghosts?" I asked curiously.

Because I heard the name ghost cook, it naturally reminded me of Zhong Tianhai, the ghost doctor.Of course, the ghost doctor does not mean that he is a ghost, but it is said that he has superb medical skills, and he can even heal the injuries of ghosts, and he can also heal some injuries that cannot be cured by normal methods.So ghost chef, is it the same?

Ju Cheng'an nodded: "That's right. The ghost cook is good at making ghost food. It is said that when he was young, the ghost cook was famous all over the world for his superb cooking skills. It is said that his ancestors were once the royal chef of the palace, and they were famous for a while. His family's cooking skills are passed down to his father's generation, and he has added a lot of modern cooking skills. His cooking skills are so good that he is called a master chef. Ghost Chef has also learned a good cook since he was a child. Yi, started to help the family in the kitchen at a very young age. At that time, it should be 30 years ago, their family opened a restaurant in a big city, and the business was very good. But once their business improved, it affected several other people around them. The business of a restaurant. So someone secretly tampered with it and sent someone to the back kitchen of their house to inject some medicine, which caused a few diners to be poisoned to death. A sensational tragedy occurred. Since then, the business of this restaurant has plummeted. The ghost cook's parents were also arrested for suspected poisoning, and both died in prison later."

"It's too insidious. Then what happened?" I was very resentful after hearing this history.It seems that the theory that "people make money and birds die for food" has existed since ancient times.

Ju Chengan sighed, and continued: "It was said that this incident was a sensation at the time, but no one knew where the chef's family went after that restaurant closed down. But after that restaurant closed down, another family The adjacent restaurant that was on the verge of bankruptcy suddenly got better. Except for the absence of the chef, all the back chefs under the chef were dug in. People talked a lot, saying that the owner of this restaurant secretly poisoned. It was a tampering. But no one has any evidence. This incident was only spread among the people. Not only was the boss not held accountable, but his business was getting better and better. Until three years later, the boss’s father died of illness and a funeral was held in the suburban county. The boss had a lot of contacts, and people from all over the country went to express their condolences. At that time, the boss also prepared a banquet to entertain everyone. But the business of the restaurant could not stop, so he found a team in the private sector that was responsible for this kind of funeral banquet To be in charge of cooking."

Shi Xuan'er had never heard of these things Ju Chengan said.The two of us listened carefully to Ju Chengan's account of this incident, and I said to myself, the anecdotes in the Taoist world have never stopped from ancient times to the present.How many stories we have never heard have happened, and they still sound so vivid now.

Ju Chengan seemed to know a lot about this period of history. He continued: "The family that specializes in banquets is really quick and fast, and the food tastes great, and it is generally welcomed by the guests. Later people discovered that their chef, It turned out to be a teenage child. Of course, this child was the later ghost cook, the son of the god cook who died unjustly in prison, but no one knew him at the time. Although he was young, the meals he made were It was very popular with everyone. It was the custom at that time that food was served in front of the coffin of the deceased, which was for ghosts. According to the rules, these meals were arranged by the chef. On the night when the mourning hall was arranged, The chef prepared the meal and put it in front of the coffin. The son of the deceased was also required to keep a vigil that night, and the owner of the restaurant also kept a vigil in the mourning hall according to the regulations, but something happened that night. According to the surviving guests later, at that time It was already in the dead of night, and although everyone was keeping watch, they felt drowsy after a busy day, and not long after, they suddenly heard movement inside the coffin. Everyone woke up immediately."

"You don't need to ask, that old fellow must have smelled the food offering and is about to get up." Shi Xuan'er said from the side.

Ju Chengan glanced sideways at Shi Xuan'er, obviously Shi Xuan'er was right.

"You're the only one who is smart." After Ju Chengan pissed off Shi Xuan'er, he continued, "The coffin was not nailed until the time of burial, and the lid was loose at that time. It moved. Soon, the old man pushed open the lid and sat up from inside."

Although what Ju Chengan said now is simple and relaxed.But one can imagine what the scene would be like at that time.

A dead old man pushed open the lid of the coffin and sat up, what a terrifying and strange scene.

The scene was chaotic, people scattered and fled, all shouting that the corpse was scammed.

The old man came out of the coffin, crawled straight to the three bowls of food, grabbed a few handfuls, ate it himself, and then turned out of the coffin.Everyone at the scene ran away, only the son who owned the restaurant remained, kneeling there motionless as if he had been frightened.

After the people ran away, they didn't dare to come forward. After waiting for more than ten minutes, they found that there was no movement in the mourning hall, so they gathered together and slowly leaned forward.

From a distance, the son was still kneeling there, and the old man had disappeared, and later found that he was lying back in the coffin.

The food offerings in front of the coffin were all empty, leaving only three empty bowls.

Of course, in the end people found out that the owner of the restaurant was also dead.The death was very strange, there was no injury on the body, and there was no sign of illness.
