I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, and I'm not sure about it in a hurry...
The night is so dark that it reaches an extreme, the blood moon has disappeared into the clouds, indicating that dawn is approaching.
Lao Liang and eight paper people, carrying three coffins, swayed up and down as they slowly ascended the mountain.
I waited for a few more minutes, feeling that they were far enough away, before stepping out from behind the tree.
The feeling of something being wrong increased increasingly.
Intuitively, I looked up at the summit.
What made me sweat beads on my forehead was that the entire summit was enveloped in a green mist!
This scene is too terrifying. Moreover, the green mist seems to have the tendency to spread further...
It is obvious that the Yanmang ghost summoned by Tao Renshi has been dealt with by the Corpse Immortal...
Not daring to linger any longer, I hurriedly walked towards the direction of the village.
As I walked, I heard a tapping sound and a smell of scorched earth.
Following the sound, I glanced down at the mouth of the night jar.
Lao Gong's head poked out again.
There are a constant flow of decay on his head, red sand rope and copper coins are corroding!
The depth of his eyes is still the same as before, the previous Mr. It is.
And this time, both eyes are the same as the previous Mr., and his head is completely restored.
Just then, the profound eyes seem to be about to shatter...
"Lu..." "Xian..." "Shen..."
The hoarse voice was no longer as terrified as Lao Gong's before.
Stopping in my tracks, I didn't speak, just instinctively holding a talisman in my hand.
"Old man, I have never suffered such humiliation in my life?"
"I will let this sliver of consciousness sink into silence once more, but I will definitely break through your trivial trick."
"However, you don't know what you will face."
"I can cooperate with you once to save your accompanying woman. You must dig out my corpse, find back my scattered souls, and use this yellow poor ghost as a sacrifice to gather my soul for me."
"The retribution ghost of Qi Village can also be used by you if you can bring it out."
The tone was not only hoarse, but also resounding and a trace of the superiority.
But the next second, everything was dispersed like smoke.
The depth in his eyes disappeared.
He first felt confused for a moment, then Lao Gong had a shock, and then he gasped and panted heavily.
Then, he broke into a smile that seemed like a relief after surviving a disaster.
However, I still stared at Lao Gong's face.
The words of the previous Mr. kept resonating in my mind...
Lao Gong's gaze met mine, and his eyes moved around cautiously.
"Master?"
I didn't respond.
Lao Gong licked his lips and muttered to himself softly, "A wife can be replaced, but your wife without a head insists on keeping the young lady of the Zhen family. It's not easy to solve this..."
"Heed others and be well-fed."
"Don't listen to Lao Gong's words, and you'll eat the bitter fruit right in front of you."
The murmur turned into a sincere plea.
"Are you going to be like Lao Gong, or be a carrier for humans?"
"That man is very willing to help me. If you don't want to, I don't mind finding someone else."
My tone turned extremely cold.
Lao Gong's face immediately stiffened, and his eyes moved, as if his gaze had become stagnant.
"Master... What are you saying?"
"I felt earlier that my consciousness seemed dull, as if it was being controlled by something again..."
"Where is the young lady?"
Lao Gong's eyes bulged.
"Master, you can't run away by yourself! The young lady left home with you and got lost in the wild mountains. If you don't take care of her, it's just so pitiful! So pitiful!"
Lao Gong's voice sounds like he's wailing like a ghost, as if I'm really an indifferent and heartless person.
The annoyance in my heart didn't decrease.
I didn't have much aversion to Lao Gong.
That's just the nature of ghosts.
I continued to take steps, heading towards the village.
Unconsciously, Lao Gong's howls stopped.
Unconsciously, the night was replaced by a white sky.
On the village road, villagers passed by in a hurry, carrying hoes and sickles, heading to work in the fields.
When I returned home, the yard felt extremely empty.
Previously, there were eight paper figures standing there. I got used to their presence, so when they were gone, it felt quite out of place.
The ground was strewn with several wood slips struck by lightning, with a ceramic compass lying quietly at the center.
I picked up the lightning struck wood charms and put the ceramic compass away.
Suddenly, I realized what the problem was.
It's still the Corpse Immortal!
It's still the eight paper figures!
The Corpse Immortal itself is a residual spirit, extremely sluggish.
We will only be able to rouse her when we wake her up, then she will have a series of reactions.
She recognized me, which is why she didn't continue to hurt me.
A mind so slow and lingering, a residual spirit, couldn't possibly come up with such a delicate plan.
Even, she had already planned three coffins to be used to carry the corpses of Xiao Zhisui, Ling Daoren, and He Changshu.
This is definitely not something a spirit ghoul can do.
It's as if she had foreknowledge!
There must be a hand in the background, moving silently.
To take me up the mountain...
It's cold, not just a simple cold, but a cold that envelops the whole body, a cold that feels like being alone in the abyss...
Lao Jia Cun... there are still people there!
A person who wants to kill me!
And he is cold and cunning like a venomous snake...
"Dong Dong."
The knocking sound gave me a jolt.
I turned my head abruptly, the sound was heavy.
"Who!?"
In sight, wasn't it Yu Xiu?
She looked extremely hollow, just staring at me blankly.
I breathed a sigh of relief slightly.
It's Yu Xiu...
But I immediately tensed up again...
Why is it Yu Xiu again?
What does she come to find me for again?
Standing up, I went to the door and locked eyes with Yu Xiu.
Yu Xiu slightly raised her head, her gaze directly at me.
"She said to let you not enter the village again." Yu Xiu's tone was hollow.
"She... who is she?" My eyelids twitched involuntarily.
"She..." Yu Xiu lowered her head, as if looking at the ground, but her gaze was like she was looking at her own chest.
"She, me." Yu Xiu pointed to her chest with her index finger.
Sweat beads formed on my forehead again.
She?
Yu Xiu?
Is it Yu Xiu of the night, telling Yu Xiu of the day through some method?
I knew earlier that Yu Xiu's behavior differs between day and night.
Xia Yu also said that Yu Xiu lost her soul.
Even Lao Gong said that nothing in Yu Xiu's family belongs to her.
Therefore, Lao Gong cannot sense anything about Yu Xiu.
"Then who are you?" My breath became heavy, and my voice grew hoarse.
"I..."
Yu Xiu raised her head and shook it, saying, "I don't know."
For a moment, I didn't know what to say or ask.
Yu Xiu is truly strange, and the problem is truly serious.
However, she hasn't harmed me from the beginning to the end, on the contrary, she has been constantly reminding me of some problems.
Why does she have to help me?
Why would she appear in Lao Jia Cun?
As I thought about this, I blurted out and spoke loudly!
"You why come to Lao Jia Cun?!"
