Chapter 23 In the middle of the night, the blood moon covers the sky
The moon is dark and the wind is high, the wind is blowing miserably, as if to scrape the skull of a person, I look back and forth at the distant mountains in the countryside, the mountain houses, everything is shrouded in the hazy unknown darkness, and our village is located in the mountains, far away from the city, living here are basically local farmers, like us in the mountains, it is rare for people to come in, so walking on the road, it is inevitable to infiltrate people, and the heart is even more fluttering and jumping, and the palms of the hands are sweaty.
After walking for about half an hour, we finally came to Mu Mu's house, but Mu Mu's house belongs to the deep mountain ravine, very sparsely populated, a farm house in the east and a farm house in the west, all of which are far away.
Because the economic conditions of Mu Mu's family are not good, so he built a house alone, under the illumination of the moonlight, it seems that this house has fallen into the mouth of a giant beast, and her house has been around for some years, the whole house has become mottled because of the wind and rain, and the walls have become mottled, falling down one by one, like the festering skin of the human body, there is an indescribable gloomy feeling, and the tiles on the roof are also a little messy, and the moss on the ground has some black stains.
I looked along Mu Mu's house, and there was a hazy fog in the courtyard of her house, and it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night.
At this time, Xiaojie recklessly said a word, which made all of us feel cold in our hearts.
"What age is this, no electric lamp, even holding the lamp (referring to the oil lamp)"
As soon as Xiaojie's words came out, all of us gasped, although Cui Zhi and Ji Nian are both people who have learned the Tao, but in such an environment, in this atmosphere, it is inevitable that anyone will be hairy.
Because through the window, we could see the shadows in the room, people walking around, people talking, and the sound of adults and children crying, in short, the sound never stopped.
It was midnight at this time, and this dilapidated house stood quietly in the barren ravine, revealing an inexplicable gloomy feeling, as cold as an ice cellar, but it made my cold hairs stand on end.
"Squeak~"
Midnight silence, quiet even the needle fell, can be heard clearly, with a soft creak, the window gently opened a crack, as if blown open by the wind outside, and although I was scared in my heart, but a strong curiosity drove me, plus Mu Mu lived in this house, I beckoned to Cui Zhi and Ji Nian: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”
In fact, I also wondered a little in my heart, Mumu's family has never had anything to do with relatives, just she and her mother depend on each other, when did so many people come to the house, and I haven't heard her talk about it, and it's still in the middle of the night, thinking about it, it doesn't feel right.
Xiaojie squatted outside the courtyard, and I took Cui Zhi and the three of them tiptoed to the window, and I walked in front, with a cat body, revealing half of his head and one eye, and peeked in the crack of the window.
I swept my eyes and found that there was a dilapidated oil lamp in the room, the oil lamp was a little old, it was covered with dust, wet, and dirt squeezed a thick layer, and because the fire in the oil lamp was strong enough, the whole room was brightened, and through the shadows on the wall, you could see that the whole room was crowded with people, and with the beating of the lamp, it was also a blink of an eye, and the figures on the wall disappeared.
When I saw this, I opened my mouth wide and kept inhaling the cool air, I couldn't believe the facts in front of me, and my heart was also panicked, and at the same time, the noisy sound just now, for a moment, suddenly stopped, as if there had never been anyone inside.
Just when I was wondering, I found that in the window, there was a man in white standing in the corner, staring at me with a pair of cold eyes, I was hairy all over, and I shivered fiercely, and the person's face was like a flat plate, and the facial features seemed to be drawn, which was very terrifying.
His face was lifeless as dead ash, his pupils were only pure black, no whites, and his eyes were stunned, and his lips were bright red, as if he had just drunk blood, and when I saw this, my pupils were infinitely dilated, and I was about to scream when I opened my mouth wide.
Suddenly, an external force pulled me back, and I fell down, and then turned back suddenly, but my mouth was covered by a pair of big hands, my eyes showed a look of horror, and my heart beat violently.
But at this moment, a deep and old voice sounded: "Shhh It's me, it's me! ”
It turned out to be Uncle Ming, and Uncle Ming's sudden arrival also frightened Cui Zhi and Ji Nian, and Uncle Ming also covered Ji Nian and Cui Zhi's mouths successively, but fortunately, the two reacted quickly enough to react at once.
Uncle Ming pulled the three of us down to the dark and said, "Why did you come here, you almost ruined my big thing!" ”
The wind whined and blew Cui Zhi's black hair, his eyes were half-squinted, he looked Uncle Ming up and down, and said, "Uncle Ming, why did you come over without any sound, even Xiaojie didn't notice you." ”
Cui Zhi had a puzzled look on his face, but Uncle Ming waved his hand and said, "That's because you are too focused, of course you don't know that I am coming." ”
"Uncle Ming, what do you mean, you invited me to catch ghosts, and then why did you ......?"
Ji Nian's handsome brows were twisted into knots, and he had a lot of questions in his heart, and Uncle Ming waved his hand and said, "Don't ask so much, today is a rare opportunity, the nine deterrent green ghosts were attracted by me by setting up a bureau." ”
In fact, not only Ji Nian, but also Xiaozhi, and me, we all have doubts in our hearts, I stretched out my finger, pointed to this house, and said: "Uncle Ming, just now I saw a man in white in the house, his pupils are full of black eyes, and his facial features are mediocre, this is ......"
Uncle Ming's eyebrows unfolded, his whole body revealed a sense of mystery and profundity, he smiled faintly, the wrinkles on his face slowly unfolded, his voice gradually slowed down, and said faintly: "In this room, there are no people!" ”
"What's that! By the way, where else did Mumu go? ”
"Those nine deterrent green ghosts have become the climate, and last time the Nine Yin Acupoints were broken, their resentment has increased greatly, so they are bound to take your lives, but Meng Meng and Cui Zhi's lives are more special, and it is difficult for them to hurt you, so they chose the Mu Mu family, but I watch the stars at night, and when I am ugly tonight, there will be a red moon."
Cui Zhi looked at the sky, picked his right eye, spread his thin lips, and said, "Uncle Ming, you can't even see the moon in the sky, there is a red moon there." ”
"This is an astronomical phenomenon, it is rare once in a hundred years, it is also called the blood moon covering the sky, it is the best period for the cultivation of spirits, as long as the oil lamp is not extinguished before the time, and after the time, let them shine on this round of blood moon, and the nine paper people will become humanoid."
