Yecheng was silent at night, and there was no one on the streets under the curfew except for the night patrol team, and the palace was also quiet, except for the forbidden army on duty at night, there was no one else.

The emperor's bedroom is brightly lit, in addition to the forbidden army on duty outside the palace, the hall is also a figure of longing, the great Zhou Tianzi Yuwen Qiankeng sat behind the bookcase, and Xiyang County Gong, Bazhou Thorn Shi Yuwen Wen sat across the case.

Yuwen Qiankeng's face was full of nervous and expectant expressions, and there were several chamberlains standing behind him, one by one, standing with their hands down, looking listless, but they were listening attentively, all listening to the "strange news" that Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County was saying.

"Weichen investigated the case, because the case was complicated, he paid a private visit to Weifu, in order to pursue clues, one day he rested at the official road station, and soon after he sat down, a person arrived, drank tea and ate in the adjacent seat, and listened to his accent for Jiangnan Xiangyuan."

"The main Bo Zheng Tong, acquaintance with this person, his surname Jia Mingyue is from Guanyuanzhou, foreign travel merchants make a living, half a year ago received news that the old mother at home is critically ill, so he took a boat to go up the river, passing through Xiyang when the boat broke down and fell into the water, rescued by the navy, because of the loss of all his belongings, Zheng Tong gave him a coiled home."

"It has been a few months since this incident, the two naturally greeted each other when they met, Zheng Tong saw that he was wearing a charm, so he asked why, Jia Yue said that he encountered something strange on the way home, Zheng Tong asked several times under curiosity, and the other side will experience it one by one."

Yuwen Qianken swallowed his saliva, Yuwen Wen, who entered the palace today, told a story, the storyline was tense and exciting, and he couldn't stop it, and after listening to a few more and more reluctant to let people go, he asked the other party to stay in the palace and continue to tell the story at night.

The previous story is about the cat demon harming people, and at the last moment it is a "strange story" that the Taoist master surrendered, the plot is a little terrifying, Yuwen Qiankeng is afraid and wants to hear it, and specially adds a few more waiters to be brave by his side, and then let the other party continue to tell it, and now it is a new anecdote.

Jia Yue, a merchant in Xiangzhou, learned that his mother was seriously ill outside, and he rushed to his home day and night, and after entering the junction of Xiangyuan, because the mountains stretched, there were thieves and tigers, leopards and jackals in the mountains, so he could only rush during the day and stay at the post station or private house at night.

Jia Yue missed his mother at home so he was anxious, and one evening he arrived at the foot of a certain mountain, and saw that his companions were going to stay at the post station for a night, so he planned to go over the mountain overnight.

"Over the mountain overnight? Isn't he afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards? Yuwen Qiankeng asked, and the attendants around him also nodded silently, the story told by the prince of Xiyang County was thrilling, and they all listened attentively.

"Of course I'm afraid, so Jia Yue spent a lot of money in a nearby village to hire a few experienced hunters to escort him over the mountain overnight." Yu Wenwen said, "These hunters are all experts in hunting tigers, and they are familiar with the roads in the mountains, so Jia Yue let these people take him into the mountains after paying the money in advance."

"Jia Yue is not afraid that these people will kill him halfway, bury the body in a secret place, and come back and lie that they have been sent to the mountain?" Yuwen Qiankeng asked again.

"Jia Yue has been walking outside all the year round, so he naturally knows to be on guard, so he invited Yicheng and his companions to testify." Yu Wenwen replied, it was beyond his expectation that the other party was so careful.

The story continues: Jia Yue is accompanied by hunters, and his confidence in the safety of the mountain has also increased, but it is still very risky to walk through the mountains and forests at night, in order to avoid disturbing the bandits, and so as not to attract tigers, leopards and jackals, they did not light torches, so they hurried by moonlight.

The hunters were accustomed to walking at night in the mountains, so they did not feel inconvenienced, and Jia Yue stumbled at first, but a hunter took him by the hand to keep up with the speed of the team.

I don't know how long I walked, Jia Yue saw that there were mountains and forests all around, and there were dark shadows in front and back, and he couldn't help but be frightened in his heart, and he also felt a little bit at ease thanks to the kind words of his fellow hunters.

When they came to a certain mountain col, the group rested on the spot, in order to prevent trouble, there was still no fire, the hunter faced the surroundings to guard, and protected Jia Yue in the middle, and it was also a loss that he was not frightened by the howling wolf howl in the forest from time to time.

After resting for a while, just as they were about to get up and continue their journey, suddenly the leader of the hunter signaled that there was a situation, and everyone held their breath and did not dare to move.

Rushing in the middle of the night, either there is an urgent matter like his own, or he is a thief with ill intentions, Jia Yue couldn't help but be nervous when he thought of this, it was naturally impossible to greet and ask, the black light suddenly shouted, who knows if the other party will be in trouble immediately.

It was also a shame that they did not light a fire when they were resting, and they hid in the grass on the side of the road to hide their figures, so as to avoid a confrontation with each other, just when everyone was silently waiting for the other party to pass by, Jia Yue saw the situation of the person who came clearly, and was shocked.

"Your Majesty, do you know what Jia Yue saw?" Yu Wenwen asked suddenly, and he specially paused to buy a pass.

"Where do I know what he saw, what did he see?" Yuwen Qian asked with a stammer, his palms were sweaty, and he felt that what Jia Yue was seeing was not a person, but a jackal, tiger and leopard in the mountains.

Jia Yue was still shocked when he said this, and he drank a few cups of tea in a row before he recovered, and Weichen also joked at the time, saying that he had seen a jackal, tiger and leopard that had become a jing. Yu Wenwen said with a solemn face, "As a result, Your Majesty knows what he said?" ”

"What is it?" Yuwen Qiankeng asked, speaking of the tone changed in the back, and when it came to this, he naturally knew what kind of terrifying thing Jia Yue was afraid of, so he was so afraid that he couldn't speak, but curiosity still prevailed.

The attendants around them wiped their foreheads involuntarily, they listened to the story attentively, but they didn't dare to be rude and urge, so they could only wait anxiously for Yu Wenwen to continue telling the story.

"Jia Yue said, he was in the moonlight, and saw the strange whereabouts of the comer, the first person was dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a bell in one hand, holding a wooden sword in the other hand to guide the way, and chanting some incantation in a low voice."

"The strange thing is not this person, but the five people behind him, all five of them are wearing black robes and high hats, with talisman paper on their foreheads, they can't see clearly, their arms are raised forward, as if they are climbing the shoulders of the person in front of them, their legs do not move as they go, and their bodies shake up and down, as if they are jumping forward."

"There is another person at the end of the team, who is dressed in a Taoist robe like the person who leads the way, but he is holding a rune paper in his hand, and I don't know what it is for, this team of seven people walked between the mountain roads, except for the first and last two, five of them all jumped forward in unison."

Hearing this, Yuwen Qiankeng was so nervous that he forgot to breathe, the team in the story was really weird, especially the five people in the middle, with talisman paper on their foreheads, and a strange walking posture, what the hell is this!

"This team of people passed not far in front of Jia Yue and the others, and suddenly the talisman paper on the forehead of the fourth person in the team fell, Jia Yue was so frightened that he almost shouted out when he looked at it through the moonlight" Yuwenwen paused deliberately, "He saw that the man's eyes were closed, blood was oozing from his mouth and nose, and his face was pale, and he looked like a living person!" ”

The flame of the oil lamp in the hall suddenly flickered at the same time, reflecting Yuwen Wen's face in a gloomy and uncertain manner, Yuwen Qiankeng only felt as if he was there, in the dark mountain forest, seeing several strange people in front of him, one of them suddenly turned his head to look at him.

"At this moment, a mutation protrusion!" Yuwen Wen suddenly raised his voice, which frightened Yuwen Qianson, and a waiter beside him was unstable and almost collapsed to the ground, "The man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were all white, and he roared in a low voice, showing a mouthful of rotten teeth!" ”

Yuwen Qiankeng only felt that his hairs stood up, a chill wrapped his whole body, his teeth couldn't stop fighting, and he almost couldn't sit still.

He twisted his body as if to get rid of some restraints, and the rest of the people were also restless, and the person at the end of the team quickly stepped forward and pasted the talisman paper in his hand to his forehead, and his mouth was full of words, and it calmed down after a while.

"And what about then?" Yuwen asked in a trembling voice, he only felt that the content of the story was too weird, what was going on with those people, they had such strange behavior.

"Later? The team continued to move forward, but Jia Yue didn't fit and let out a fart, the fart sound was very loud, which alarmed the team, and the other party immediately stopped, and five of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at Jia Yue's side" Yuwen Wen said gloomily.

He deliberately stopped, there was silence in the hall, Yuwen Qiankeng's face was pale, and he didn't have the courage to ask any more, and the attendants were also wide-eyed, looking behind them from time to time, the already brightly lit dormitory, but they felt that it was too dim.

The two groups of people confronted each other silently for a moment, and the hunter who led the team saw that it was not a matter to go on like this, so he got up slowly at will, and talked to the man in the Taoist robe in the local dialect, and he didn't know what to say, and the other party shook the bell again, led the team on, and gradually disappeared between the mountain roads.

"I don't know how long I waited, the hunter motioned for everyone to get up and continue to hurry, Jia Yue saw such a strange thing, his legs were paralyzed with fright, where can he still walk, it was also the hunters who persuaded him for a long time before he went on the road with fear."

He kept inquiring about the matter, and the hunters just shook their heads and remained silent, until it was dawn and they walked out of the mountain, and the hunter who led the team said that the one he saw in the night was the corpse chaser who was chasing the corpses.

"Chase out the corpses?" Yuwen Qiankeng asked, he had only heard of driving chickens, ducks, geese, cows, horses and sheep, or the first time he had heard of driving corpses, recalling the scene in the story, a team of corpses jumped forward in the mountains and forests, and he felt chills all over his body.

"It's the corpse." Yuwen Wen said with a smile, "The land of Xiangyuan is dense with mountains, and the land is barren, so many people go out to make a living, and those who go out have died in other places, and the so-called fallen leaves will return to their hometowns to be buried."

"It's just that the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk, and it is very difficult to carry the coffin over the mountains and mountains, so some people use ancient secret techniques to practice the method of driving out corpses, and the relatives and friends of the deceased spent money to hire these corpse warlocks, and it is convenient to cast spells to let the corpse stand up on its own and follow him all the way."

"The corpse warlock generally walks in two, driving several corpses to walk at night, mainly to avoid sunlight, and the team must be the master's leader, shaking the soul bell, one to warn the night walkers to avoid, and the other to drive away wild things, so as not to disturb the deceased and cause the corpse to change, once the corpse changes, the apprentice of the palace will use the rune paper to deter."

"Corpse Transformation!" Yuwen Qiankeng swallowed his saliva with difficulty, the word corpse transformation didn't sound like a good thing.

"Corpse change, the corpse is bitten and disturbed by cats and dogs, and it is very easy to become a white-haired zombie, invulnerable to cannibalism and cannibalism, and its victims also turn into zombies and tigers"

Yuwen Qiankeng no longer knew what to say, driving out corpses, corpses, white-haired zombies, invulnerability, cannibalism, these are all 'strange stories' that he has never heard, and he has never seen it recorded in the book, the story sounds very exciting, he is afraid and wants to hear it.

"Your Majesty, if it's getting late today, do you want to go to bed? Tomorrow, I will listen to the story of Xiyang County. One of the chamberlains asked tentatively, anyway, the story is almost over, and if they listen to one more, they are afraid that they will not be able to sleep tonight.

"Ah, the story is not finished yet" Yuwen Wen said with regret, Yuwen Qiankeng came to his senses when he heard the words, and asked how it was, Yuwen Wen glanced at him, and then asked with a smile: "Your Majesty still wants to hear it?" I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight! ”

"Then what's there to be afraid of" Yuwen Qiancong said hesitantly, the more the other party was like this, the more he wanted to listen.

Yuwen Wen coughed dryly and continued: "That day, I heard Jia Yue tell about an adventure, Weichen and Zheng Tong felt ridiculous and didn't care, and after more than a month, Zheng Tong met several people in Xiyang City."

After Zheng Tong greeted him, he talked about meeting Jia Yue a month ago, but the other party was full of horror, saying that Jia Yue was no longer alive a few months ago.

"Didn't he just talk to Zheng Tong a month ago?" Yuwen Qiankeng asked with wide eyes, and the attendant behind him also looked at Yuwen Wen nervously.

Jia Yue learned that his mother was seriously ill, so he traveled home day and night, and they also traveled all the way, and then came to the foot of a mountain when it was dusk, and he planned to stay at the post station, but Jia Yue returned home and hired a hunter to escort him over the mountain overnight.

"The next day, they traveled along the mountain road and went west, and found the bodies of Jia Yue and his fellow hunters in a mountain pass, and the death was horrific and everyone's heart was missing."

Yuwen Wen said lightly.

"Jia Yue died that day, and his companions went to the local government to report the case in grief, but the government sent people to inspect everywhere but did not get the essentials, only when these people were killed by thieves."

"The bodies of Jia Yue and the rest of the slain hunters were placed in the official office, and the officials found that the bodies were missing the next day."

"Huh? Yuwen Qiankeng, who was talking to Zheng Tong that day, was so shocked that he was sweating profusely, and Yuwen Wen smiled when he saw this: "At this time, Weichen can't figure it out, it's probably someone who looks similar to Jia Yue, and deliberately teased Zheng Tong." ”

'Teasing? It is clear that when he was walking at night, he met a corpse chaser, and then alarmed the deceased and caused the corpse to change, and after killing the zombies, he also turned into zombies, and wandered the world to act as a tiger' Yuwen Qiankeng thought in his heart, and felt cold all over his body.

"Your Majesty, the hour is not early, please rest as soon as possible, and Weichen will chat with Your Majesty tomorrow." Yu Wenwen said with a smile, this old-fashioned story in later generations has a surprisingly good effect, seeing the little emperor trembling like a frightened quail, it has to be stopped in moderation.

If you continue to talk about it, you won't be scared! (To be continued.) )
