"Thunder and lightning?" Bai Che bent down to take a closer look and nodded, "This place really looks like it has been struck by lightning......

But strangely, this thunder looks a little small, neither left nor right, it can hit here, and the bushes next to it are not much damaged. ”

Bai Xiu didn't seem to hear his words, stood up and said, "Let's go down and have a look." ”

The two of them went down this high slope and returned to the entrance of the stone field along the mountain road, Bai Xiu did not stop long, and went straight into the stone field on the left.

As soon as he reached the innermost, Bai Che found the stone Zhang Feijie said and the lime circle left by his master.

He paced over, took a slight look, and was surprised: "Zhang Feijie is not wrong, there is no blood on it." ”

Bai Xiu also walked to the stone and groped carefully.

After a while, he said to Bai Che: "Second brother, you go find a stone chip and come over, it's better to be sharp." ”

Bai Che was confused, looked around, picked up a piece of leftover material left by beating stone bricks and handed it to him.

Bai Xiu half-knelt down, grabbed the stone chip with his right hand and wiped it hard, and a string of blood beads dripped from the fingers of his left hand onto the stone.

Bai Che was startled, and hurriedly took Bai Xiu's hand and looked at it, and there was a deep wound on it.

He couldn't help but be angry: "My aunt always says I'm messing around, I think this word should be given to you!"

had long expected that he would be chattering again, Bai Xiu immediately raised his hand and instructed him not to make a sound: "Listen, is someone calling for help?"

Bai Che subconsciously pricked up his ears, and really heard a weak voice coming from nowhere.

He looked at Bai Xiu suspiciously, but Bai Xiu clenched the stone piece again and scratched his other finger apart.

More blood spilled on the stone, and the sound became clearer.

"Help......

Hearing such a strange movement at night, Bai Che felt his hairs stand on end for a while, and asked loudly, "Who is shouting for help?"

But the voice suddenly disappeared again, and no matter how much he listened, it never came again.

And so it was. Bai Xiu sighed while stopping the bleeding for herself.

Bai Che had a problem in his heart, and he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks: "Brother, don't sell Guanzi, what the hell is going on?"

Bai Xiu straightened up and nodded at the stone in front of him: "Someone is trapped here, but it's not the soul of Zhang Yunjie and his wife." ”

"A living person would be trapped in a stone?"

Bai Che felt that Bai Xiu's words were simply fantastical, but then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but drown his saliva hard, "It can't be Zhang Mingping and that master, right?"

Bai Xiu raised his head slightly, as if staring at the top of the stone field they had inspected earlier, and said a conjecture: "A thunderbolt struck there, and this stone was pushed down and killed Zhang Yunjie and his wife.

After seeing the blood, it gradually underwent mutations, forming a 'other space' in the body - not to mention accommodating two large living people, a mature other space can even be compared to the real world.

And it was such a coincidence, if the master hadn't killed the chickens and worshipped that day, they probably wouldn't have been 'led' in. ”

"Lead?" Bai Che grasped the gist of his words, "You mean, because this stone saw blood, they will be devoured by it?"

"To be precise, it takes enough blood. ”

Bai Xiu said, "Chicken blood and dog blood are regarded by many people as things to ward off evil spirits, and the root cause is that these two types of blood can be used as a medium to transmit evil spirits, and the caster can use them to transfer evil spirits to where he wants them to go. ”

He raised his hand: "In fact, human blood can also be used, and it is more spiritual, its central mouth blood is the most powerful, when you can't take heart blood, you can use the blood of your fingers instead."

In ancient times, many tribes liked to sacrifice the blood of living people, not only for the purpose of warding off evil spirits, but also to obtain great power through such rituals. ”

Bai Che was surprised: "It's been a long time, it turns out that this stone is doing trouble?"

Bai Xiu frowned again: "The blame is on that lightning, even if it is weird in itself, why did it hit this stone, and this stone just hit Zhang Yunjie and his wife?"

Bai Che heard the meaning of his words: "Do you suspect that all this is man-made?"

Bai Xiu shook his head and smiled, a little helpless and meaningful: "Then I won't know until tomorrow...... Second brother, there is something you need to do tomorrow morning. ”

When he said this, Bai Che became more and more surprised: "Are you suspicious......"

Bai Xiu nodded, and listed a list of names: "I still need you to prepare these things, you should be able to use them tomorrow." ”

After checking for a while, they saw that there were indeed no other clues, so they went down the mountain, and when they returned to Zhang Feijie's house, it was almost eleven o'clock.

The sky was overcast, which made the darkness in the village even thicker, and only Zhang Feijie left a lamp for them.

Bai Che looked up at the sky and complained, "We are really looking for a chore, I hope it won't rain tomorrow." ”

Bai Xiu thought so: "Indeed, if it rains, I am afraid that my plan will not be completed." ”

Seeing that he was obviously a little absent-minded, Bai Che touched his head: "Do you have anything else to discover?"

Bai Xiu didn't answer him, but asked an irrelevant question: "Second brother, do you feel a little cold?"

"Cold?" Bai Che touched the goosebumps that had been aroused by his arm for some time, and said in surprise, "It's a little cold, even if it's night, the temperature won't drop so quickly, is it?"

"Let's go over there and have a look. Bai Xiu turned around and walked in the direction of the entrance of the village, and did not stop until he walked out of the village.

"What's wrong?" Bai Che asked after him.

Bai Xiu faced the silent village and pointed to the mountain road behind it: "Second brother, you can observe the situation on the mountain again." ”

Bai Che turned his head to look at it for some reason, and in the next second, a chill suddenly climbed on his back: "Damn, what is that?!"

The shadows on the mountain road were full of human figures, dressed in plain clothes, and moving slowly, like a midnight funeral procession.

"Is there really anyone?" Bai Xiu muttered to himself thoughtfully, and then turned around and went up the mountain.

Listening to what he said, he actually knew what was going on, Bai Che asked as he walked: "We didn't even see a ghost when we came down just now, just a few minutes of effort, where did so many people come from?"

"That's not a person. ”

"There are ghosts?!" If it weren't for the fear of noisy sleeping villagers, Bai Che would have wanted to exclaim, and he speculated with a fluttering eyebrow, "Could it be the evil ghost they said about passing by?"

Gradually, those figures appeared clearly in Bai Che's field of vision, and when he saw their true faces, he couldn't help but burst into another foul mouth.

"Damn, who is so lacking in morality, it's scary to put some leather dolls here at night!"

That's right, these figures are all skin-blowing dolls.

They were dressed in white cloth and hung on thin threads on their heads, and when the wind blew, people stood at a distance, like a walking procession.

"I seem to know where this comes from. Bai Xiu walked over and touched one of them, and the delicate touch meant that its quality must be good.

"I've heard that on some remote roads, some repair shop owners will throw nails in the neighborhood for their own business. ”

"You're saying that the rumors of ghosts passing by in Jelu Village stem from these leather dolls, and they were all deliberately designed?"

Bai Che also understood, and then thought, "Who the hell is making trouble? This person is really boring!"

Bai Xiu turned his head, if he could see it, he was probably looking in the direction of the stone field on the left: "Whoever benefits the most will be the most suspicious." ”

"Could it be Shigong?" Bai Che instantly thought of a person, "That's right, the red cloth of the villagers' family should have been bought from him, and the rituals in the village should also be done by him, he must have earned a lot of money!"

Immediately, he touched his chin: "Yes or no, I will also ask the people in the village tomorrow to find out, the red cloth must have something to do with this matter." ”

Bai Xiu nodded, and then said: "As for these leather dolls, let's not move them first, otherwise no matter who pretends to be a ghost, they will startle the snake." ”

Bai Che very much agreed with his opinion: "Then let's go back and rest first, recuperate and make a fool of it tomorrow." ”

The two went down the mountain again, and after returning to Zhang Feijie's house, they packed up and fell asleep.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Zhang Feijie went to buy breakfast and came back.

During the meal, he asked, "Xie Tianshi, Mr. Bai, when are we going, do I need to prepare something?"

Bai Xiu quietly gestured to Bai Che and put forward his own request on his face.

"Forty-nine pieces of paper money, twenty-one pillars of chicken bone incense, seven ordinary white candles, three taels of fresh rooster blood, and one pound of fresh black dog blood, you better hurry, ten o'clock is an auspicious time, and it is best to cast spells at that time." ”

Zhang Feijie was a little embarrassed: "It's okay to have paper fragrant chicken blood, but dog blood is ...... In our village, there is only Lao Lin who kills pigs at the entrance of the village, and I am not familiar with him, so he is afraid that he will not sell it to me. ”

Bai Che volunteered to pat his chest: "Is there no one with a red cloth?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Feijie to agree, he stood up and walked towards the entrance of the village.

Zhang Feijie said with emotion: "Mr. Bai is really resolute...... Thank you, I'm going to prepare something first?"

After he left, Bai Xiu went out after eating breakfast alone, but he didn't go far, just lingering near Zhang Feijie's house.

Not long after, a plainly dressed woman came out of that house.

She is less than thirty years old, with dark skin and big eyes, she is not ugly, nor good-looking, she is exactly what Zhang Feijie said.

Seeing Bai Xiu standing at the door of Zhang Feijie's house, she was not surprised, hesitated for a while, and walked over.

"You are the master invited by Feijie?" she glanced at Bai Xiu and opened her mouth quite hostilely, "It's really good to come out and deceive people at a young age." ”

Bai Xiu could hear the disdain in her words.

Obviously, this woman is different from most people in the village, and there are some discrepancies in Zhang's account - she does not believe in ghosts.

"You're not afraid?" he asked knowingly.

"There's nothing to be afraid of when something doesn't exist at all. ”

Aunt Mi is not as wooden as she seems, Bai Xiu was excited, she was like opening the chatterbox, and she chattered about it.

"I really don't understand, what age is it, everyone is still so superstitious, the Spring Festival couplets are not allowed to be posted during the New Year, and the object has to be counted as eight characters. ”

She stared at the four faces in the hall and sneered in disgust.

"Feijie and I have been good since we were children, if it weren't for his parents' insistence on going to Shigong's batch of eight characters, we would have gotten married long ago...... After being delayed for so many years, what a good end did his family end. ”
