Jiajing Spiritual Records

Su Xian stabilized the wooden cart with his hands, and helped Ning Huan and Ning Cheng who were in the barrel to get out of the round wooden barrel.After getting away from the disgusting stench, the three of them breathed out the fresh air.

Ning Huan raised his eyes and looked at the small courtyard in front of him.The dilapidated wooden boards surrounded the entire courtyard, and there were no decorations of plants in the courtyard. Several cracks were cracked on the surface of the bluestone floor tiles under the feet, exposing the dark soil underground.But the strange thing is that not even moss grows in the cracks in this humid environment.There was a thin layer of gray smoke all around, and a lonely house was facing the middle of the courtyard. At this eerie moment, the red-painted door seemed to open a bloody mouth out of the thick dead air.

"Are we going in?" Ning Huan licked his dry lips and asked in a low voice.

Su Xian stared at the courtyard door and was silent for a while, then suddenly he turned his head to look at Ning Huan, and asked, "Can you climb the roof?"

"Climb the roof?" Ning Huan tilted his neck in confusion, looking at the roof made of tiles.

Su Xian nodded and explained: "I'm afraid I'll startle the snake if I go straight into the house. Let's go to the roof first to find out what's going on inside."

Suddenly, Ning Huan puffed up his chest proudly, nodded and said: "I will! I used to sneak out, and I have climbed up to the roof of my house many times."

"Really?"

"real!"

So Su Xian cast a playful glance at Ning Huan, who had a smug face, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and asked deliberately, "Then why can't you even climb a village fence?"

Ning Huan was at a loss for words for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he could only mutter in a low voice: "I also did this to be cautious, and we didn't know what was going on inside at the time."

At this time, Ning Cheng also smoothed things over and said, "My cousin is right, I don't know how many times he was beaten for climbing over walls and roofs when he was young."

It's okay not to mention this, but when Su Xian looked at Ning Huan, his smile became brighter and brighter.Ning Huan puffed his cheeks, and stared back at his cousin with resentment, but saw Ning Cheng's sword-browed and star-eyed smile showing memories of the past, he sighed slightly, with an inexplicable regret in his tone, He continued: "Speaking of which, since Huan'er was obedient and sensible, she has rarely been naughty." Ning Huan twitched the corner of his mouth, was it regretting that he was beaten less?

Su Xian raised his eyebrows and asked, "When was the last time you came out of your house over the wall?"

"Last month." Ning Huan replied without thinking, and when he woke up, he saw Su Xian's playful face.Ning Huan narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Xian, who looked back generously with his arms crossed.

"Practice makes perfect, it's impossible to get caught again." Ning Huan suddenly felt like he was hitting cotton wool with his fist, so he hummed and turned away his face in a self-defeating manner.Su Xian raised one corner of his mouth slightly, and the smile in his eyes became stronger for a moment.

"Climb the roof, brother Ning should be fine, right?" Ning Huan heard Su Xian ask.

Ning Cheng smiled: "Naturally." Ning Huan saw that Ning Cheng was smiling sincerely and getting along with Su Xian very well, he continued to hum in dissatisfaction.

The roof is as dilapidated as this old house, and the roof is covered with broken tiles, and there is a "creak, creak" sound from time to time when you step on it.Su Xian reached out his hand to stabilize Ning Huan who was staggering up, but turned his quiet eyes to the other side.

Ning Huan straightened up and flicked the dust off his hands, and followed Su Xian's gaze.I saw a majestic and towering palace standing on the other side of the gray sky, with black clouds pressing down on the city, and a ghostly atmosphere.

Ning Cheng also climbed up at this time, seeing the two of them staring into the distance, he also looked over.Although it was only a rough outline, Ning Cheng recognized the familiar style and the unique red bricks and gold tiles.There was a sudden shock on his face, and he stumbled and asked: "This...is this the palace? But why is there a palace here?"

Su Xian shook his head silently.After a while, he squatted down, gently lifted the black tiles under his feet, and there was a corner of the house underneath.The light came in slightly, and the furnishings inside were very simple, the table with a leg missing and the painted candlesticks, as simple as this old house.

"Where are those human face worms?" Ning Huan looked around anxiously and asked in a low voice.

Su Xian lowered his eyes, shook his head, flapped his curly eyelashes lightly, and said, "Not here."

He stood up, and his black boots stepped on the broken tiles without making a sound.He went to another part of the roof and lifted a few more tiles.Suddenly, his face darkened, and the movements of his hands were slightly paused.

"What's the matter?" Su Xian beckoned to Ning Huan, made a silent gesture, and Ning Huan walked over with a light footstep.

The scene under the old house was actually different from the other places they had just seen.A dark green fire was flickering inside the room, the walls were divided into large and small shapes, covered with a dense layer of black particles, and a black shadow curled up in the middle of the room. "What is this?" Ning Huan asked with a suppressed voice.

Su Xian shook his head.Ning Huan pursed his lips, staring at the big and small shapes, and suddenly a guess came to his mind.Ning Huan raised his head and saw that Su Xian was still looking at the bottom, he bit his lip and expressed his conjecture: "Does the glowing green thing look like the same thing?"

"What?" Su Xian frowned, and looked up at Ning Huan.

"Like a beehive." Ning Huan whispered.

"Honeycomb?" Su Xian murmured these two words, as if thinking, his expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Ning Huan asked worriedly.

Su Xian remained silent, moved the tile half an inch away in his hand, and more light directly shone in.The scene in the room became clearer, the ground was slightly sunken, and the black shadow curled up in the middle was the witch.

The ghost woman huddled on the ground, her shriveled skin was so thin it was almost transparent.Another row of black shadows hung on the walls of the four walls, the size and shape of which looked like a group of monkeys.

monkey?Ning Huan frowned, at this moment a gust of cold wind brushed Ning Huan's ears, and blew in along the cracks in the bricks and tiles.The black shadow hanging by the rope turned around, it was a row of hideous human corpses, the facial features could still be distinguished, and only a thin layer of human skin was left under the body.The limbs shrank and tightened unnaturally, looking like a monkey from behind.

Ning Huan was startled for a moment, "This...is this?"

"It's the shell she pulled back." Su Xian replied in a deep voice, "This is a worm king with a human face." The ghost woman moved slightly, and the ground trembled.Ning Huan was startled, only to realize that the ground under the depression was actually a huge spider web, and those dense black particles were the eggs of the human face worm.

Su Xian straightened up, rubbed his fingers over the handle of the knife, looked down at the ghost woman and said, "Her body can't support her demon power, so she can only keep changing her body."

The huddled witch suddenly turned around, and a gloomy and hoarse voice sounded from below: "Since everyone is here, why not come in."

Ning Huan was stunned, and looked at Su Xian with rigid eyes. "Stay here." Su Xian ordered in a low voice, and then directly broke through the broken tiles under his feet and jumped down.

More light came into the room, Ning Huan frowned.Su Xian's black boots stepped on the sticky spider web like walking on the ground. "You've spotted us a long time ago?" As he was speaking, Su Xian's black boots ran over a human face bug that was trying to climb on him, and the ground exploded with green pulp.

The ghost woman let out a strange "giggle" laugh from her throat, and looked at Su Xian with a hint of cold resentment in her eyes.The ghost woman's face suddenly sank, and the skin was cracked little by little.After a while, in front of Su Xian, he turned into a face worm nearly one person tall, and Ning Huan's scalp went numb.

The human-faced worm was no more than three feet away from Su Xian, and the worm-shaped human face was facing Su Xian, "giggle" she grinned again, showing sharp teeth: "I need a new body." She greedily Looking at Su Xian, "It just so happened that you were delivered to the door. They are too weak." The human-faced worm wriggled slowly, and its body ran over the layer of "ghost woman" human skin that had sloughed off on the ground.

Su Xian looked at the human-faced worm indifferently, and sneered.At this time, there was a rustling sound in the darkness all around, and countless human-faced worms the size of palms swarmed out of the large and small nests.There are all kinds of strange expressions on the faces of the human faces.

Su Xian hooked the corners of his lips, showing a disdainful smile: "You're looking for death." Su Xian pinched a yellow talisman between his fingers, and muttered something in his mouth.The swarm of insects surged up, and several faint blue flames surged out of the yellow talisman.It began to spread along the spider web, and everywhere it went, there was a "beep, beep, beep" sound.Ning Huan smelled a strong smell of burning, and the human-faced insect let out a painful human-like scream in the fire, piercing and horrifying.

The cold flame instantly took away the surrounding temperature, and Ning Huan shuddered.He remembered this flame, which Suxian once said was a ghostly fire borrowed from the underworld.

The crackling sound ended, and all the human face worms around were wiped out.

"My child!" the "ghost woman" screamed.Su Xian looked at her coldly, "ghost woman" swept Su Xian's face viciously, and murmured like a curse: "Your body will still be mine."

Su Xian snorted coldly, the hand that had rubbed the scabbard did not see the movement of drawing the knife clearly, the King of Man-faced Beetles had been broken in two, "tick, tick" thick green mucus fell down the spider web.

"Disgusting." Su Xian stamped his feet in disgust, some green slime stuck to his black boots.

"Is he dead?" Ning Huan bent down and asked.

Su Xian looked back at the huge, motionless worm body. "Dead." Su Xian looked up and replied.He climbed up the wall and stepped out, took out another yellow talisman from his sleeve, made a trick and threw it on the broken body of the "ghost woman", the flames immediately ignited and covered the body. The ghost woman's whole body was wiped out, along with the faint green "hives" shining on the four walls.

"There won't be any face bugs anymore." Ning Huan asked.

"Ah."

At this time, there was a sudden noise from the street in the distance, "Catch him!" Someone shouted loudly.

"Could it be that person was found?" Ning Huan said.that boy?Ning Huan remembered his resolute expression when he said "not believing in Buddhism". Although there were too many mysteries hidden in him, Ning Huan still didn't want anything to happen to him.

"Go out and have a look." Su Xian said in a deep voice.He raised his feet and paused, looked at Ning Huan and Ning Cheng, frowned slightly, pursed his lips, pointed to the wooden cart in the corner, and said, "Hide in."...

The black robe covered most of Su Xian's face, he bent over and slowly walked out pushing the wooden cart.The bronze man came and went from his side, no one noticed the abnormality here...

"Roller wheel" made a familiar sound as it rolled across the ground, and no one noticed that there was a white egg hidden on the outside of his black boot...
