The heavens on the mountain say that they change.

As soon as Liansheng and his party walked to Shangjia Village, the raindrops of soybeans fell. It crackled, and white smoke rose from the woods and meadows. ‘

"My lord, this is the case in the mountains, let's go to the village to rest first."

The village chief built yì road.

The rain was super heavy, and it hurt people's faces, and both high-ranking officials and princes were helpless in the face of the wind and rain. Everyone walked into Shangjia Village, there is an ancestral hall in the village, it is a big house with two entrances, and someone usually cleans it regularly, so the village chief brought everyone here, opened the gate, and beckoned people to hurry up and light the brazier.

The officials came in and put the big iron cage at the door, and the village chief looked at it and said, "I have seen this girl in the past, and it is also a sin to pour bones like this on a rainy day. ”

The village chief pointed to a tall soaphorn tree not far away.

Ren County Ling nodded again and again: "You're right, this girl can't be drenched like this when she dies, you two, carry the cage there!" ”

The two officials carried the iron cage and walked under the soaphorn tree, and just walked to the place, suddenly a thunder exploded overhead, Liansheng just turned around, and saw that the two officials were still carrying the iron cage, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and put it down!" ”

It was too late, and I saw a bright flash, and the two servants fell to the ground with a thud.

"Oops, they were struck by lightning!"

Ren County Commander hurriedly led people to run to the soaphorn tree, the hair of the two officials was burned, fortunately there was still a little breath, everyone carried them over, the village chief was so frightened that he pointed outside and said, "Really." It's really evil. ”

"What kind of evil, you can't stand under the big tree on a thunderstorm, the two of them are standing under the big tree, and they are still carrying an iron cage in their hands, and they are all a living target for thunder." Lian Sheng said angrily.

The village chief, Nuno, agreed, not daring to say anything strange.

At this time, the brazier had been lit, and the village chief led the villagers to open the houses in the backyard, Lian Sheng and Xu Yan were in a room, and the brazier was lit inside, and Yu Shizhao and Ren Xianling were next door. Four officials and four brocade guards were in the lobby. Mother Wu squatted to the side tremblingly, but her eyes kept staring at the iron cage under the soaphorn tree.

"My lord, I'll go and ask someone to boil some hot soup. Prepare meals. "The village chief took the people to get busy.

Ren County Ling saw that it was getting late, and it was raining so heavily. Even if the rain stops, I can't rush back to town. The mountain road is slippery, and if you rush at night, you are looking for death. So he walked up to Wu's mother and said, "Sister-in-law Wu, you go home first, and go down the mountain with me tomorrow." ”

Mother Wu stood up as if she had just woken up from a dream. Pointing to the iron cage, he said, "My flowers, what about the flowers?" ”

"I'll send someone to watch it, don't worry."

Ren Xianling was chubby, like a smiling Maitreya Buddha, gentle and gentle, Mother Wu looked at him and nodded, and then said blessedly: "Thank you, sir." ”

The rain was a little lighter, and Wu's mother left with the villagers who came here to deliver soup and food.

At this time, the clothes were basically baked, everyone set up a table in the ancestral hall, and the village chief put the hot soup on the table, and invited Yu Shizhao Liansheng and others to sit at the table.

"Today, so many nobles are here and it is the blessing of our merchant village, the mountain village, there is only coarse tea and light rice, and the nobles should eat a wild taste."

"Uncle Village, sit down, let's talk while eating." Yu Shizhao smiled slightly, motioning for him to sit down and talk, don't be nervous. The village chief heard the nobleman from Beijing call him uncle, and rubbed his hands excitedly, hehe Zhile.

"Uncle Village, your village is called Shangjia Village, why is Mother Wu's surname Wu, and that Dragon Witch is also from your village?"

Liansheng asked.

"Most of the people in our village have the surname Shang. This martial artist moved here more than ten years ago, and the Dragon Witch came about five years ago. No one knows how she came here, as if such a person suddenly appeared on the mountain, always wandering around this area, usually using herbs to treat the villagers, it is said that she can pass through ghosts and gods, and some people ask her for hexagrams. After speaking, the village chief hurriedly added: "It's all trivial, and there is no evil art. ”

"What about that sister-in-law Tian?"

"She is from Tianjia Village at the foot of the mountain, and her second son was lost, and they all said that they had eaten hearts and livers for the mandrill."

"Where does this come from?"

Liansheng asked.

"I don't know, everyone says that anyway."

"Is it possible that the Dragon Witch told everyone, and then gradually spread?"

"In this way, it's hard to say, she has been chattering, you know, my lord, some old women just like to chatter, although I am the village head, but I can't control other people's mouths."

"Village chief, you're right." Yu Shizhao nodded: "It's just that today's matter must not be spread, the imperial court is the most taboo about these strange things about God, once it spreads, I am afraid that your village will be affected." ”

"Yes, yes, the little one understands."

After eating, the rain gradually stopped, and the village chief took his leave with a lantern.

Everyone walked to the door of the ancestral hall together, and suddenly looked at what seemed to be something under the soaphorn tree.

The village chief hurriedly carried the lantern, and with a snow-white face, the official who was struck by lightning was already a frightened bird, and with a loud cry, a terrible voice came: "Demon, demon is coming!" ”

Liansheng breathed a sigh of relief, this voice was too familiar, it was the Dragon Witch. She was squatting under the soaphorn tree, holding the iron cage and smiling strangely.

After seeing off the village chief, everyone went back to their houses to rest.

Because the two officials were struck by lightning and were in a bad mental state, the four Jinyi guards and the remaining two officials were divided into two groups to watch the night.

The autumn rain is already cold, and it is a little colder on the mountain than under the mountain. Everyone was wrapped in a thick quilt and gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly Liansheng heard the sound of a bell and a knock on the door!

The night on the mountain is exceptionally quiet, and the courtyard of the ancestral hall is empty, so the knock on the door is particularly loud.

"Who, who's out there?"

Xu Yan also woke up and asked in a low voice.

No one answered, and there were a few more bells.

Lian Sheng motioned to Xu Yan not to move, and held his breath and listened carefully to the movements of the outside world.

Bell Bell ...... Bell Bell ...... Bell Bell ...... The voices were endless, not only knocking on the door of their room, but also knocking on several doors at the same time!

Who is it? Who knocks on the door together in the middle of the night!

This scene was so weird that Xu Yan felt that the hairs on her body stood up. She brushed the ground and pulled out the sword placed next to the pillow, and whispered to Liansheng, "Master, I'll go open the door." ”

Liansheng knew that Yu Shizhao's martial arts were unfathomable. There are also four Jinyi Guard masters to help, there should be nothing wrong, nodded and said, "Be careful." ”

Bell, bell, bell. The knocking continued.

Xu Yan quietly got out of bed, walked to the door lightly, opened the door suddenly, and the cold air rushed along the door, and the fresh smell of the mountains and forests quickly filled the whole room, but the door was empty, nothing!

The door next door also opened suddenly, and Yu Shizhao walked out with a sword and asked, "You also heard a knock on the door." “

"Yes, it seems that several people are knocking on the door at the same time, who is knocking on the door?"

"Your Highness, are you all right?" Two brocade guards ran over and asked.

"There's a knock on the door too?"

"No, we both kept vigil and heard a knock on your backyard, but we didn't encounter anything along the way."

Jinyiwei said: "The iron cage is also under the tree, who is knocking on the door?" ”

"Ahh Hell! ”

A scream suddenly came from the front yard of the ancestral hall, and everyone ran to the front yard one after another. A servant squatted on the ground, holding his head, and kept shouting: "Don't catch me, don't catch me!" ”

Yu Shizhao picked up the officer, smelled that there was still a smell of burnt on him, and knew that he was one of the two officials who were struck by lightning.

"What do you see?" Yu Shizhao asked loudly in his ear.

"Ghost, ghost bite me! Drink my blood! Yu Shizhao pulled down his hand and motioned to the brocade guard to shine the lantern, only to see that there were two blood spots on the neck of the officer. (To be continued......)

PS: Who knocked on the door? What's the matter with the blood spots on the officer's neck? Let's open your mind, dear!
