Volume 1: The World of Dreams Chapter 7: The Trial of the Hundred Ancestral Tombs
"Muzi, Luoluo?"
Chen Mu and the two were vigilant, and an old and anxious voice came. It was supposed to be the hometown accent of the new principal, but it was easy to understand.
"Ahh
It seemed that because he recognized Chen Mu and the two, the thin figure hurriedly ran over, looked at the "brother and sister" worriedly, and looked around nervously.
The light was dim, and only the faint appearance of the person who came could be seen: over sixty years old, thin and capable, dressed in linen and gray, with a cigarette pouch and sickle pinned to his waist, and his long face with wrinkled skin and brown skin was full of panic.
Li Luo was naturally wary of this person, and subconsciously approached Chen Mu. Chen Mu didn't have any information about this person in his mind, and in addition to being alert to strangers, he was more nervous because of the old man's panicked appearance.
"Don't make a sound, let's go, stay away from me. ”
The old man didn't see anything unusual, so he cautiously motioned for the two to follow. The two glanced at each other, and both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes. It was Chen Mu who made a decisive decision, gently held Li Luo's little hand and followed.
"Old man, we still have to go to school, it's too dark, can you help us find our way?"
"Is life more important or is school more important?"
Chen Mu's heart jumped, and he felt that the old man seemed to know something, so he continued to ask, "How is this related to fate?"
The old man turned around and shouted softly with some anger: "You two little guys really don't know the height of the sky, this Hundred Ancestors Tomb is a place where you can come in casually? If it weren't for the weird bark of my watchdog to wake me up, you two wouldn't know that you would be punished." ”
"Why?"
"Didn't your parents tell you about it? This ancestral tomb has a lot of dirty things, after the sun sets at night, before the sun comes out during the day, this time is their time to go out, and they must not come. ”
The old man said it well, and Chen Mu and the two of them experienced it personally. For a while, it felt as if a yin wind was blowing, blowing cold on the necks of the three of them.
"Hurry up, hurry up, they're being disturbed. ”
The old man shuddered and hurriedly sped up, and Chen Mu pulled Li Luo to hurry up. I don't know if it's a psychological trick, they always feel that something is chasing after them.
Click-Click
The world is far away, and the footsteps of several people echo in the air. Suddenly, Li Luo discovered an abnormality.
"Wait, you see, there are other footsteps. ”
"It's them going home, keep your head down, go fast, don't get in the way. ”
The old man listened to Li Luo's words and became more serious, and his old legs were eager to take off. Chen Mu and the others had goosebumps all over their bodies, and they walked low and accelerated according to the old man's instructions.
Fortunately, the old man's residence was not far from here, and soon the three of them left the Hundred Ancestors Cemetery Realm.
"You can talk here, you two, alas, don't take the good road, go to the black and linen to make a mess?"
When he got out of the meadow, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and blamed, looked around and said, "You are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and you don't know anything about the past." Why did the grandfather of the Lan Lan family go, someone told you that he didn't have it? ”
The two were confused, not knowing who Lan Lan was?
I don't know why, being pulled by someone, Li Luo was at ease, not only was he not afraid, but asked curiously: "Grandpa, what is on this road?"
"Tomb of Hundred Ancestors, Tomb of Hundred Ancestors, do you think it is shouted casually? I don't know how many people have been buried since ancient times, I have to go back and ask your parents by yourself, I can only tell you, as long as the sun does not come out, you can't look at the Hundred Ancestors Tomb when you take the road, if you hear someone call your name, you can't even agree or turn back, remember?"
The two nodded again and again, frightened by the old man's attitude of mentioning his life.
Wangwong –
Sure enough, it was a yin and yang weird dog barking, Chen Mu and the two looked up and found that the three of them had arrived in front of the two thatched houses, and the old man pointed to the one that lit the lamp and spoke.
"It's time to get to my house, the door is not closed, you guys go in first and sit down, I'll go get some wood to light the fire." The two of you come out of the planting place in the middle of the night, and you must use fire to drive away the yin. ”
"Trouble the old man!"
Chen Mu and the others were very moved, and only entered the house after seeing the old man go away, and the dog also obediently lay down.
"You can let go. ”
"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous. ”
Li Luo smiled and didn't answer, and stepped into the room first, and Chen Mu followed with a sneer.
The room was very simple, with a kerosene lamp on the table in the main hall.
"Luoluo, Muzi, you two brothers and sisters don't go to school and come to my house to make trouble?"
It turned out that there was an old woman in the house, who was grinding beans with a lamp, and obviously knew Chen Mu and the others, so she immediately asked suspiciously.
"Hello mother-in-law, it was the old man who asked us to come, and he went to hold the material. ”
The old woman's body trembled when she heard this, and she looked at Muzi with blazing eyes: "Is he really calling you here? Where did you meet him?"
"It's in the Hundred Ancestral Tombs!"
The old woman's face changed greatly, and she hurriedly threw down the beans and ran to the door, quickly pulled the two into the house, looked carefully outside the house, and then hurriedly closed the door and inserted the latch.
Chen Mu was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Mother-in-law, what are you doing here?"
"You two little cubs, you bumped into something dirty, my wife has been gone for several years. ”
Chen Mu and the others were shocked, their hearts were beating so hard that they almost lost their breath, they felt that the pores all over their bodies were itching, and subconsciously, their faces turned pale and leaned together.
"Could it be that we have made the wrong door?"
Li Luo asked in disbelief, and the old woman looked around for a while before replying, "You are not the first to meet, Lan Lan's grandfather has also met before, and then ...... Alas!"
Chen Mu and the others felt chills all over their bodies when they heard this: How did the grandfather of the Lan Lan family go?
"You sit down, I have two talismans for you, which were given by Mr. after that incident, which can bless you with peace and security. ”
The old woman was visibly frightened, and hurried into the back room. Chen Mu and the two looked at each other with heartbeats, and were about to sit down, when there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Why did you close the door, I hugged the material, which of you will open it for me?"
"What should I do?"
"Don't be afraid, it's all a dream. ”
In order to show his brother's spirit, Chen Mu hesitated a little and opened the latch of the door.
The old man was a little dissatisfied, and complained as he entered the house: "It's strange to you two, why did you close the master's house outside?"
"Grandpa, you misunderstood, it was your wife who closed it. ”
When the old man heard this, he was so frightened that his hands fell loose, and he looked at Chen Mu with a frightened expression: "My wife, where is she?"
"I went into the back room to look for something. ”
"Ahh ”
Chen Mu and the others were surprised: "What's the matter?"
"You don't know, don't you? I've never been married in my life, where is my wife?"
The two were horrified: what the hell was going on?
"You guys hide well, I'll meet her, as the saying goes, evil doesn't prevail over good, so I don't believe that she can still turn against the guest. ”
The old man was furious, looked around the house, saw the fire stick, and went into the house with his hand.
Chen Mu and the two looked at each other, not knowing who to believe. Suddenly, I noticed movement outside the door, and behold, it was an old woman with gray hair poking her head out.
"I'll just say, why is this room bright, it's you two, it's so bold, why don't you come out soon? ”
Chen Mu and the others looked strange: Acquaintances again?
Seeing that the two of them didn't move, the old woman went directly into the house and pulled, and scolded in her mouth: "Even if you two are not allowed to come here, even if you are hiding from school, you don't know if the people who have died inside know that Lanlan's grandfather and grandmother accidentally took rat medicine and walked together." ”
The two of them heard their hearts explode, but finally learned the truth: the two old men were ghosts.
"The situation is a bit complicated, do you still have to deal with it in the usual way?"
Leaning next to Chen Mu, Li Luo asked in a low voice, she had already begun to retreat.
"What else should we do? The dream world of the sixth-level dream master is not something we can dissolve. ”
"Muzi, Luoluo, where are you going, come to my house and sit!"
Before the two could discuss the result, an eerie call came from behind them, and their scalps were numb and blood flowed backwards. Turning to look, the two old men stood in the doorway and waved to them together.
"You guys go away, I'm going home. ”
The old man was so frightened that he rushed into his house as fast as he could, and closed the door.
"Run!"
Chen Mu and the others were also so frightened that their hands and feet were chilling, and they were extremely scared, so they had to use special methods to relieve their fear, and without hesitation, the two ran away holding hands.
The sky was slightly bright, and they could see a hundred meters away, but Chen Mu and the others had already panicked, no matter how fast they were, they could still feel the footsteps of the pursuers behind them.
I don't know how far I ran, and suddenly, the two of them fell to the ground in a hurry.
Panicking to their feet, the two of them were stunned by what they saw: they were back in the tomb, and the zombie was facing away from them.
"Luoluo, stand behind me, don't run away this time, it's better to face zombies than to experience the weirdness before. ”
Li Luo didn't speak, Chen Mu had already protected her behind him. At that moment, the zombie turned around.
"It's you!"
Seeing the front of the zombie, Chen Mu was shocked: Isn't this the old woman who pulled them out of the house and ran home by herself?
Ready to go, Chen Mu waited for the zombie to attack, but to his surprise, the zombie actually showed a kind smile to him, and then suddenly dissipated.
"Yes, you can persist until now without collapsing, as a second- or third-level dream interpreter, you are very qualified. ”
The voice of appreciation sounded behind them, and the two turned around, the fear deepened a little, and Li Luo even shrank into Chen Mu's arms.
The one who came was the surviving person who bled through the seven holes before. I saw her smile, her terrible face changed instantly, her face was smooth and her eyes were kind.
"Are you...... Headmaster?"
"It's me!"
Hearing the other party's affirmative answer, the tense spirits of the two were inexplicably relaxed.
"I never allow my students to cheat, so the moment you just came in, I sealed your mental power, and the sobriety you left was also an illusion. ”
"No wonder, no wonder I'm terrified of the scenes in the dream world, and I can't tell the difference between real people and ghosts. ”
"Hehe, it's no wonder you're wrong. People are the bravest, I not only sealed her mental power, but also added my fear to her, although she was frightened but coped with it calmly, she can get full marks in this test. ”
"Aren't we still at school yet?"
"Getting to the school is for ordinary people, and you are several times more difficult than them, and you have passed the test by facing the fear of the heart without flinching. After you go out, your spiritual seal will be unsealed and your nature will return. ”
"Thank you, Principal!"
Sure that this was the controller of the dream world, Li Luo dared to struggle out of Chen Mu's arms, and stepped forward to thank him sincerely.
"This is the result of your efforts, I am very optimistic about you, I believe that you will have great plans in the future, go back and work hard. ”
"Principal's praise, we are leaving, Principal take care. ”
Now that the trial is over, the two of them will not stay for long, and they have left the principal and embarked on the road back: they can't wait to leave, and if they stay any longer, they may have a psychological shadow.
