After returning to Yangshi County, Li Xingmeng was worried every day, and he would have nightmares when he slept, but fortunately, this tormented day did not last long, Lin Wei finally came back from the meeting, as for the content of the meeting, it seems that the headquarters of the Wanmin Association is preparing to start a war with the Chu State, so it is necessary to transfer Daoji cultivators from various branches to Luoyang to assemble, Lin Wei is also on the transfer list, but it is difficult to say whether it is really a war, although the Wanmin Association has a lot of friction with the Chu State, it has always tried its best to negotiate and reconcile with each other, and this transfer is also just in case。

Seeing Lin Xiao, Li Xingmeng's eyes were full of tears, and he lay in Lin Xiao's arms and cried: "Grandpa Lin, I'm afraid." ”

Lin Xiao comforted: "What's wrong?"

"Grandpa Lin, I accidentally found a book on the boss in Meicun, you can take a look. Li Xingmeng hurriedly took out a book.

Lin Wei took a look and found that the cover was a few big characters: "The Secret of the Wuhe River"

Then Lin Xiao began to read the book carefully:

"The Secret Story of the Wu River"

Author: Wu Wenming

In the fourth winter of Dachu, Yiyang County, Wuhe County.

This is a season of heavy snowfall, my name is Wu Wenming, not long ago, Xiaoyu's cousin was killed in Wuhe County, Xiaoyu's cousin's boyfriend escaped from Wuhe County, but before he could explain the specific situation to us, he died, Xiaoyu and I were very worried about the cousin who died in Wuhe County, so I came to this Wuhe County, after experiencing all kinds of strangeness in Wuhe County, Xiaoyu and I escaped from here, but Xiaoyu never came back in Wuhe County, I feel as if I was cursed, time is short, so I wrote this secret, hoping to warn the world, Wuhe County, danger！

Let's get started, I'm going to tell you about the bizarre encounters between me and Xiaoyu in Wuhe County.

One snowy evening, a man dragged his heavy steps towards my house with difficulty, I was resting at the time, I didn't pay attention to the footsteps outside the house, but the man knocked on my door after all.

The knock on ......the door kept ringing, as if he would not give up until he woke up the master.

I'm a little angry, yes, whoever is awakened by a knock at night at this time of their sleep will be angry.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" As a cultured man, I have done my best to suppress my anger, and if the answer of the man in front of me does not satisfy me, I will let him know that it is not a good thing to be beaten up in the middle of winter.

"Help... Save... Me,I'm cousin Xiaoyu's boyfriend.,Wu。。。 River... county, she still has there there... Danger, help... Help me. "The man was covered in blood, his legs seemed to be deformed, and he couldn't stand up straight, but he still begged me for help.

Seeing him like this, my heart softened, what is it that makes a man look like this, and he said that Xiaoyu, things related to Xiaoyu, I can't care about anything.

The man came into my room, I gave him a glass of water to drink, Xiaoyu also woke up, and when she saw the man, she was surprised and said, "Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

The moment he saw Xiaoyu, the man was so excited that he didn't even hold the water cup in his hand, there were many broken porcelain pieces on the ground, the man told Xiaoyu the news of his cousin's death, but when Xiaoyu asked more questions, the man was crazy and didn't know what he was talking about, maybe there was really something dirty for him to see, so he was so crazy, we arranged a room for the man, and wanted him to calm down first, but the next morning, we asked the man to get up for breakfast, but he never responded to us, Xiaoyu knocked on his door, still no response, we were a little worried, so he forcibly pushed the door open, only to find that the man had committed suicide by cutting his wrists, the whole room was covered in bright red blood.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu was obviously a little scared, I hugged her and comforted her, Xiaoyu cried in my arms, hoping to go to Wuhe County to find the truth, I agreed, because I was worried that she would encounter danger if she went alone, I decided to accompany her to Wuhe County.

Xiaoyu and I took a carriage to a small village in Wuhe County, Meida Village, and the man told us that my cousin was killed here, I'm really sorry, we didn't know the man's name all the time, although Xiaoyu knew him, but he had long forgotten his specific name.

The carriage bumped and bumped on the dirt road to the village, and although we set off in the morning, it was already evening when we arrived. Except for a few places along the road illuminated by the lanterns of the carriage, you can't see anything, Lao Zhangtou is a coachman specially hired by us, as the court musician of the Chu State, this money is still available.

"Are you scared?" I asked Xiaoyu worriedly.

"I just hope my cousin is safe and sound. Xiao Yu put her palms together, crossed her fingers together, and prayed with her eyes closed.

"It's really the first time I've come to this ghost place, I heard that there is a great sage in this county, named Feng Yanling, and the people here don't love her. "Although Lao Zhangtou is only our coachman, he has a good relationship with us and often talks to us, but sometimes he can always reach the sky.

"Even that Daosheng sage in the world did not dare to say that he was a saint. "Xiao Yu obviously despises the so-called Great Sage.

As he was talking, a cliff suddenly appeared in front of him, because it was dark night, and the light of the lantern of the carriage was too faint, and the old man did not notice the cliff in front of him.

"Hurry up!" Old Zhang Tou knew that it was impossible to stop, the inertia of the carriage was indeed too great, so he asked us to hold on, so that at least it would not hurt so badly.

We fell off the cliff in the carriage, but I was thrown out of the carriage and fell on a flat ground on the cliff.

After being in a coma for a long time, I finally woke up on that flat ground, there was no one around, although some injuries on my body made me feel a little pain, but now, I am more concerned about where Xiaoyu and Lao Zhangtou are.

Carefully looking for a foothold in the faint moonlight, he slowly jumped down. At the bottom of the cliff, I saw a carriage, which seemed to be lit by a lantern, and was blazing. I'm really scared when I see this, Xiaoyu can't she be! I don't want that result in my heart.

I found a wooden stick, and slowly lifted the fragments of the wood of the carriage that had been burned by the fire, I searched through the ruins, but there was nothing in it, I was both glad and lost, glad that Xiaoyu and Lao Zhang Tou did not die here, and what was lost was where they would be.

I made an improvised torch and continued my way towards a narrow passage ahead. There are a lot of mosquitoes and it's annoying, and it makes me feel bad if I usually do it, but I don't feel it at all.

When I came to a bend, I saw a corpse tied to a tree, and I was a little scared, but I still used a torch to get closer.

Damn, this corpse is the corpse of Lao Zhangtou, and his skin has been stripped off, damn it, who are these people here, why are they doing this, Xiaoyu, I hope you are okay.

After silently praying for the dead old Zhang Tou, I continued to march forward, and if I couldn't find Xiaoyu, I thought I had no motivation to live. As I walked, a landslide slid me down my defense, and when I endured severe pain and struggled to get up, I found that I had left the dark passage, and looked at the looming moon in the sky obscured by clouds and mist, which seemed to give me a feeling of seeing the light of day again.

It doesn't seem like a village, it seems to be a small town, but fortunately, as long as there are people I can always find help, my strength alone is limited after all, and my status as a court musician should allow the people here to 'volunteer' to help me. The road into the town is full of muddy dirt roads and stones, and the town here looks big, but it seems to be a bit poor, at least in the town of Nanyang, there are mud roads.

After crossing a fence blocking pedestrians, I came to the door of a small cabin, and I knocked on the door and asked, "Is there anyone?" ”

No one answered me, and the crow's cry made me turn my head and look into the distance, where there was a tall pavilion, and it was hard to imagine why there was such a tall pavilion in this dilapidated town where there was no road to repair. Unlike the dark cabin, the faint red light emitted by the many lanterns in the pavilion was at least much brighter than the faint moonlight in the sky.

I left the hut with the door locked behind my back and headed in the direction of the tall pavilion, where at least the light gave me a little more security. While passing by another cabin, the windows of the cabin were suddenly blown open by the wind. The voice startled me.

I climbed through the window into the cabin, and the cold outside made me feel uneasy. As I expected, the hut was empty, and I didn't know where the people had gone, and no one could see it. I went into the kitchen to find some water and food, and when I passed through the hall, I saw that there was a little girl's body stripped naked and tied to an iron frame, and there was some charcoal under the iron frame, and then I looked at the little girl's somewhat carbonized body, I understood that she should have been tied to an iron frame and burned alive when she was alive.

Everything here seems so weird, I can't bear to look at the corpse of this little girl anymore, I went directly into the kitchen, and found a few steamed buns and a scoop of brush pot water, the steamed buns are a little dirty, and there is even some blood on them, but I can't care so much when I'm hungry, I endure the feeling of vomiting and eat the bloody steamed buns and brush pot water into my stomach. After going around the cabin again and finding nothing, I left through the window.

Outside, the road was muddy, full of rocks, and weeds. There was some light ahead, and I was like a moth in the night, and when there was light, I walked there.

When I walked to the light, I saw a slaughtering table, next to which a lantern emitted a faint red light, and there were several rusty butcher knives on the slaughtering table, and the blackened blood emitted a foul smell, but I don't know what kind of animal it was. There is a very bright big house next to the slaughterhouse, there are many lanterns hanging outside, and there are many oil lamps lit inside the house. -

I tried knocking on the door, but no one answered me. I opened the door and was greeted by a magnificent hall decorated with furniture made of precious materials. But the smell of blood in the house was disgusting, and from time to time some inexplicable pieces of meat could be seen on the ground, and many flies flew around them, buzzing incessantly. Directly in front of the hall hung a portrait of a young woman, who seemed to resemble a fairy, but I didn't recognize it. On a table in the hall I saw what I needed, oil. Without oil, my torches would soon go out, and without them, I would not be able to move an inch in this dark town. On the other table, I saw a piece of paper, and curiously, I took it and looked at it, and wrote some words on it:

Father, I have met the saint, and the saint has told me that he will take me to do some wonderful things, and I am writing these things in the hope that father, you will not worry about me, and I will be back soon.

------------ your loveliest daughter, Lan Xingyan.

I couldn't understand what this meant, so I put the note back in its place and pushed open the door to a bedroom, and I saw two skeletons, the bones of a pregnant woman and the bones of a newborn child, which were a bit disgusting, and I closed the door and left.

When I came to the edge of a wooden fence outside, I saw many children's toys scattered on the ground. There is also a wooden wall with iron nails next to the wooden fence, and looking at this wooden wall full of iron, I feel that my skin is hairy, as if someone is watching me.

Suddenly, I saw a pair of eyes staring at me on the other side of the wooden fence, and when I approached the torch, I realized that it was a monster with a machete and a ghost, and I was startled and hurriedly ran in the other direction.

While running. I could even hear the footsteps of the monster behind me, and my heart was beating so crisply in the silence of the town. After running for an unknown amount of time, the footsteps that had been chasing after the rear disappeared, and there was an underground passage in front of me, with cliffs on both sides, and there was a monster behind that did not go far, so I gritted my teeth and went in along the underground passage. After walking for a long time, I came to an underground room, which was still a little bright because of a few oil lamps, and there was a small table in the narrow room, and the table was full of inexplicable blood, which happened to be some words:

All things are benevolent, and if they are followed, they are not benevolent.

I once had the privilege of reading a small part of the Human Emperor's Tao Sutra, and I knew that this was an excerpt from the Ren Huang Tao Sutra, but I didn't know what this sentence meant, and I didn't know why someone would write such a sentence here with blood. At this moment, I accidentally stepped on a brittle bone, and a crisp cracking sound came from the silent underground room, and I looked down and saw that there were more than a dozen children's corpses in a large pit on the ground, many of which seemed to be babies who had just been born. Feeling a little nauseous, I continued to walk forward with a torch. It didn't take long for me to leave the underground passage and return to the surface. There was a locked wooden fence directly in front of me blocking my path, but there was a small one-man tunnel under the wooden fence that touched the ground. Continuing along the stone path, I saw many more cabins. When I was confused, an ugly-looking old woman suddenly appeared in front of me and walked slowly towards me with a sickle, and I stepped forward with some curiosity and asked, "Hello, old woman, may I ask where all the people here have gone?" ”

The old woman did not answer my words, but suddenly slashed the sickle in her hand at me, I couldn't dodge, I was cut on my finger by her sickle, my finger was broken instantly, I ignored the sharp pain in the palm of my hand, pushed the old woman away, and ran forward desperately. I don't know how long I ran, but when I thought I could take a break, I saw a hateful-looking middle-aged man in the distance rushing towards me with a torch in one hand and a machete in the other. I slammed open the door of a small cabin next to me, and then slipped under the bed in my bedroom, not daring to make a sound. A short time later, the man with the machete came in, but he didn't notice me hiding under the bed, and after looking around for a while, he left. Although he was gone, I still hid under the bed and didn't dare to come out, because I didn't know if it was a trap or not. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the man who had gone out just now to come back, and he still didn't find me hiding under the bed, so he left again. I hid under the bed for a long time and didn't see the man come in, and then I was sure that the man had really left, so I crawled out from under the bed and left the cabin.

Outside, I tore off my clothes and used one of my feet to bandage my bleeding palm, and walked slowly, when I saw an old man lying on a chair in front of me, and a fire next to him, and the old man was muttering to himself with a dagger in his hand, and I couldn't hear what he was saying because of the distance.

I didn't dare come near him, the people here were too weird. I was far away and tried to get around the grass next to me, just when I thought it was safe, I felt a pain in my back, the man stabbed the dagger into my back, it turned out that I had been found, I quickly broke free and fled. The old man seemed to have trouble with his legs, and even though I was injured, he still couldn't catch up with me. Running and running made me desperate for something happened, and dozens of people were surrounding me. I'm injured and I can't run, and I really seem to be going to die. Xiaoyu, see you in the next life, I closed my eyes and waited for death and thought silently in my heart.

Suddenly, there was a strong light in the pavilion in the distance, everyone was stabbed in the eyes by the light, they covered their eyes and rolled on the ground in pain, I know, I have hope to live again, although I don't know what happened to the strong light suddenly emitted by the pavilion in the distance, but, at least, now, I am still alive.
