The Road of No Return, the Village That Never Sleeps, Picks Up the Bell, Midnight Bell
At midnight, the surroundings were eerily quiet, the lights of the village had been extinguished, and there was no starlight in the dark night, and I couldn't see my fingers. The wind blew quietly, blowing the small bamboo forest into a ghostly howl, as if it would suddenly explode in the next second.
The only candle in the tattered temple, faintly shimmering, seemed to be extinguished with a slight blow, and it flickered and kept to its duty, and the warm yellow candle flame did not have half an effect, but made the mutilated idol even more eerie, staring directly at the sleeping group of people on the ground.
"Whew." The window paper had already been punctured, and some cold wind poured in, and a ghost-faced man could be vaguely seen standing outside the window, staring at a group of people.
He was covered in a tattered gray linen cloak, stained with bits and pieces of dead leaves, and under the huge cloak, a pair of withered yellow hands were like old bark, with brown spots, dry and dull skin, thin bones, and ten fingernails as sharp as eagles, as if they would drag you into the darkness with their hands in the next second.
"......" The ghost-faced man didn't speak, he just kept looking at Shen Chenjing and the group like this.
"Hmm" Wan Tao felt that the wind was blowing cold, and arched the quilt uneasily, wrapping herself in a ball, revealing only one face, wrinkled, probably feeling cold.
"Huh." The Ghostface probably chuckled as if he had discovered something interesting, like a dilapidated window swaying in the wind, and the creaking sound was unpleasant to hear.
He stared at Wan Tao's arching movements, and felt more and more interesting, feeling like a caterpillar, twisting around wrapped in a bulky body.
"Woo woo" The ghost-faced man felt that the time had come, he deliberately pulled down the broken window with his terrifying big hands, and with a bang, the window fell down in response, and the ghost-faced man made a whining sound, like a hammer hitting the wooden board, hitting people's hearts.
This movement was not small, everyone woke up one after another, and Wan Tao woke up dimly, looking at the grimace outside with a frightened face.
"There's a situation, everyone follow up!" Shen Chenjing reacted in time, lifted the quilt, and put on his shoes. Everyone also reacted, and they all got up quickly.
The ghost-faced man didn't seem to be flustered, he giggled, used his internal force to extinguish the candle flame, and said "I...... All the time, ...... watching you, why don't you turn to look at me sideways? I'm right next to you...... Look at me. ”
Wan Tao scolded very calmly: "Mom, there are so many words." ”
……
The air was silent for a moment.
"Who wants to see you on the big night, just how beautiful you are?!" Wan Tao continued to scold, straightened her waist, and scolded loudly.
Lin Jiafu smiled in her heart, but she held it back, and her shoulders shook violently.
"Don't be afraid, princess, the princess said, don't be afraid of him when you meet a ghost, just scold him." Wan Tao thought that Lin Jiafu was afraid, so she seriously taught the exclusive exorcism secret.
Lin Jiafu held back a smile and nodded.
Probably feeling insulted to his identity, the ghost-faced man kicked the door unhappily and howled again.
"Stop yelling, I'm going to arrest you right away!!" Wan Tao roared again, picked up a sword and ran up.
The crowd ran out responsibly.
Yue Rushuang followed behind Lin Jiafu and Shen Chenjing, responsible for protection, while Wan Tao stepped forward to chase after her.
"Lord Wang, that ghost-faced man shouldn't be a ghost, it's a person, about taller than Wan Tao, it's a man, he should have some kung fu." Yue Rushuang introduced the situation while running.
Shen Chen nodded and signaled that he knew.
"So, this ghost-faced man is a remnant sin?" Lin Jiafu was a little struggling, but she still asked the doubts in her heart.
"It shouldn't be Yu Sin himself, but he may have sent it." Shen Chenjing replied, he didn't have a hard time running, and soon, he glanced back at Lin Jiafu, who was a little panting, paused, turned back, grabbed Lin Jiafu's hand, and pulled her to run together.
The two held hands and ran forward, looking like little lovers who had eloped.
Yue Rushuang complained in her heart, and ten thousand unhappiness flashed in her heart.
Damn, kill the dog in person.
Wan Tao had already caught up with the ghost-faced man, and said "Hey! Don't run! Wasn't it fun just now?! ”
The ghost-faced man had been quiet as a chicken, running silently without speaking.
It wasn't until the two of them chased them to the daytime graveyard that Ghostface stopped.
The ghost-faced man slowly turned around and took off his cloak, revealing a faceless with no facial features, which could not be said to be laughing, but only to tugging at the skin around him, and then stretched out his hand......
Wan Tao cautiously raised her sword and stared at the man.
The ghost-faced man was silent, silently stretched out his hand, and then ......
He gave Wan Tao a middle finger.
"......" Wan Tao was unexpectedly silent for a moment, wondering if this person was taking revenge on him.
"What? The middle finger is amazing! Compare and draw?! Wan Tao held his sword and shouted loudly, then raised his middle finger with both hands.
The ghost-faced man laughed a few times, no, he could only say that he let out a laugh, and then swooped up and attacked Wan Tao.
Wan Tao quickly took out his sword, leaned back, and after dodging the blow, he got up as light as a swallow, flew on the tree, turned a somersault and took out the sword from behind, and for a while, the leaves that were shocked fell to the ground, and Wan Tao's sword qi was sharp, and he stabbed straight at the ghost-faced man.
The ghost-faced man was not shocked, and bypassed the long sword like a spinning top, and shook it to Wan Tao's side.
Wan Tao was startled, and immediately changed the direction of the sword, and stabbed the man with his hand. took it but was grabbed by a palm.
"Bang dang!" Wan Tao's hand was grabbed tightly, and the ghost-faced man forced Wan Tao to throw away the sword, "Hmm......!" Wan Tao snorted, only to feel that the muscles and bones of his right hand were about to break.
“…… Look at me," the ghost-faced man uttered faintly, and a few crows on the branches fluttered their wings and flew away.
"...... You don't have eyes, look at the! Wan Tao endured the pain and held back a sentence, his left hand was forceful, like a palm to slap away the ghost-faced man, but it was in vain.
“…… How could it be...... Look at ...... You looked me in the eye seriously...... How could there not be!! The ghost-faced man almost roared wildly, but he didn't have a mouth, so it looked very strange, and his voice was hoarse and dull, no different from a ghost's scream.
"......" Wan Tao's hand was pinched purple, and he raised his head with great effort, it was still a piece of white flowers, and there was nothing, "Fart...... Not at all!? ”
"Take a closer look...... Let's take a closer look...... I've been watching you ......, how could it not be! The ghost-faced man's tone was low, with a hint of bewilderment, he turned his head sideways and approached Wan Tao's eyes, "Be good...... Take a closer look."
Wan Tao only felt that he was so dizzy that he wanted to faint at any time, just the face of the ghost-faced man in front of him, he tried to open his eyes wide, tried several times, and wanted to fall asleep, but a voice rose in his heart, "Look at his eyes...... Take a good look...... Watching you all the time......"
His eyes widened, but it was also at this moment that he saw several cracks open on the ghost-faced man's face in an instant, and quickly squeezed out a few pairs of blood-red eyes, dripping and turning, looking for the target, in an instant! The eyes converged, and the unequaled eyes stared at Wan Tao's face together.
The dense cracks, the eyes that were about to burst out, their emotions were roaring, their eyes were almost widening hard, and their eyeballs seemed to burst in the next second.
“…… Are you seeing my eyes clearly? The ghost-faced man said slowly, his hand gradually pinching Wan Tao's neck.
The ten fingers slowly retracted, and in the next second, they were about to break.
“…… Aren't there just a few more pairs of eyes...... It's a fart, cough cough cough! Your eyes are glowing with fireflies! Wan Tao's face instantly turned red, her will was a little sloppy, and she still didn't forget to scare people at the last moment, which was really singing and crying!
…… The ghost-faced man's face twitched, and just as he was about to end this brave life, a silvery-white light grazed his neck.
The ghost-faced man turned over and let go of Wan Tao, his fingers wiped his neck, and a stream of heat slowly flowed out. The ghost-faced man glared at the man fiercely, and then tried to fly away with a light effort.
Yue Rushuang got up and jumped up the tree, stepped on the branch with one foot, leaned over and leaped, and a poisonous blade flew out of the cuff, stabbing straight at the ghost-faced man, who had no time to dodge, was stabbed, snorted, and fell.
"Smack!" The ghostface fell face to the ground. Lying on the ground in a large shape.
! Moon Rushuang landed steadily on the ground, handsomely swinging her sword at the ghost-faced man.
"Don't move! If you move again, you'll die! The man with the Moon Rushuang Sword still wanted to get up, so he directly put the sword on the man's neck, and drew a bloody mark, threatening viciously.
"......" The ghost-faced man heard this and threw himself on the ground with a chirp, pretending to be dead.
Shen Chenjing withdrew his sword and said, "Who sent you?" ”
"......" Ghostface pretended to be dead.
"Is your master a remnant?" Lin Jiafu asked.
"......" Ghostface pretended to be dead, and then quietly rolled over.
"What did he send you for?" Yue Rushuang asked.
"......" Ghostface pretended to be dead.
“…… If you're forced, squeak. Lin Jiafu rubbed her eyebrows helplessly and said.
"Squeak, squeak." Ghostface squeaked three times.
“? Princess, he squeaked three times. Yue Rushuang slapped the grimace man's face with her sword, pointed out, and tried to poke his face again, "Why don't you have facial features?" It can't be a skin, right? ”
“!!! Squeak squeak squeak!! "me alone!! I'm just a faceless monster!! The ghost-faced man wanted to cry without tears, so he knelt directly on the ground.
"What should I do?" Yue Rushuang asked.
“? Let's tie it up first. Shen Chenjing replied, thought for a moment, and added, "Tie up a few more laps." ”
Yue Rushuang nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
A group of people ignored the ghost crying wolf howl of the ghost-faced man, and scooped up Wan Tao lying on the ground first.
"Why did you hurt so badly?" Lin Jiafu frowned, looking at the circle of purple green on Wan Tao's wrist, which was even torn into skin, and her neck was even more miserable, all the green tendons on the surface burst out, and the bruises on the purple and green accounted for most of it.
Shen Chenjing glanced at Yue Rushuang, and Yue Rushuang kicked the ghost-faced man a few times in understanding.
"......" Ghostface shrunk his body, and put on a lonely, weak, and helpless appearance.
