Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 87: The Old Trick Repeated
Under Shi Wuqi's repeated emphasis on "I have no interest in living people", coupled with explanations of cause and effect, several people reluctantly believed him. A big reason for this is indeed that for the sake of knowing him for so long, he is indeed not a lustful person.
He'd better not.
"But I haven't even taken a bath......" Dai Luan muttered to the side. She knew that with such a toss, Shanhai would definitely not let her go into the water. Mu Wan thought about it for a long time, and told them that he really didn't see anything abnormal.
"If it's a female ghost and a banshee, appearing in a man's bath, I'm afraid it's going to harm a man." Mountains and seas analyzed.
"Damn, I'm glad I'm quick."
"Aren't you uninterested in the living? That's not counting. ”
"Limited interest" Shi Wuqi suddenly hugged the Qi girl next to him, "I have a strong interest in specific talents." ”
Shanhai sighed and told them to stop making trouble. He suggested that he should ask the shopkeeper if there had been any accident here. They're here to help, and maybe the shopkeeper will tell the truth.
"Then I'll go find him."
Ah Luan raised his hand and volunteered, then opened the door and ran into the corridor without saying a word.
It was night, and the hallway was long and dark. There were no customers, and the shop didn't light up on either side, and there was no end in sight to the dark road, as if something was rushing at any moment.
Ah Luan stared at the darkness in front of him for a long time.
"I'll go back tomorrow."
She ran back and sat cross-legged back in her position.
"Yo, when did our eldest lady become so small?" Shi Wuqi nodded the table with the folded fan bone and made fun of her.
Even Mu Wan was a little curious: "Have you seen less?" How can you be afraid of this kind of monster. ”
"Psychological shadows!"
Shanhai turned his head to look at her: "Have you seen this kind of monster before?" ”
"It's not quite the same, is it...... When I was a child, I went away with my father once and lived in another house. They seemed to be having a meeting, but many of them brought their wives and children. I was in another room with a group of friends, and we all got together to tell ghost stories. ”
“…… What a coincidence. When I was a child, when the head of the family was away, my brothers and sisters would gather around to tell stories at night. ”
"Was your childhood so colorful?" The two old men looked at them with confused eyes.
"Really. I've heard about baths, and it's a yokai that a little boy talks about. He said that the bathtub in their house was dirty, and he couldn't wash it clean, knowing that he passed by when he went to the toilet in the middle of the night, only to find that there were monsters licking the bathtub, and the more he licked, the dirtier it became. He fainted in fright, peed his pants, and had a high fever for three days in a row. Later, the family hired someone to get rid of the monster......"
"Ah, I heard my senior sister Yan Muxue talk about one, and now I still have a deep impression," Mu Wan recalled, "It seems to say that a monster called Jiao Yushu is abandoned by a wooden basin and does not need to be changed." He peeked at people's faces reflected in the water without paying attention. If you peek again at night, the youkai will wrap the basin bracket around your sleeve and make your face disappear. ”
"Well, there are such monsters." Shanhai said.
Shi Wuqi said: "Isn't this a smiling wolf?" ”
“…… When you say that, how do you become completely less scary? ”
It's even a little annoying.
"Speaking of which, does this game of getting together to tell ghost stories have a name?"
For Mu Wan's question, Shanhai knows the answer.
"Hundred ghost lights?"
"Yes, it's a hundred ghost lights. Legend has it that the imps of hell take on the form of humans and trick people into playing this game. Light a hundred candles, tell a story and blow out one. The last candle is extinguished, and all those involved are taken to hell. Is this legend true? ”
"Just try it. The question is, where are the candles? ”
"Why are you so energetic with the surname Shi? You're a ghost, aren't you? Do you want to take the Eight Desolation Mirror of Mountains and Seas to shine on you first? ”
Shanhai shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"After all, it's not that strict in general. For example, no one usually finds a hundred candles, and by the end of the day, almost everyone is asleep......"
Shi Wuqi stretched his waist: "Yes." There are quite a few similar games...... To put it bluntly, it's all quite dead. ”
Ah Luan asked again: "For example, what kind of Disc Immortal Pen Immortal?" Are those also true? ”
"Don't make trouble," Shanhai frowned, "That's all something derived from Fuping, don't think it's just a game." It's easy to invite God and it's hard to send God, not to mention what kind of immortals are invited, they are all demons, monsters, monsters, and resentful spirits - they are all spirits and damage yin morality. ”
"If you want to fight with the monster directly, I can stand it. When it comes to ghosts, I'm a little ......."
"Huh? Is Luan afraid of ghosts? ”
"Ghosts are changed by people." Ah Luan said seriously.
It was not early, but neither girl had any intention of going back to the house to rest. Even though there was nothing to talk about, the five of them sat upright, staring at each other with wide eyes.
"You two won't let people sleep?" Shi Wuqi finally spoke, "What's the matter, cowardly?" ”
"Not at all."
"Nope."
“…… Then you should go! ”
"I'll be gone in a moment."
"Let's go."
"You'd rather move!"
It's strange to say, it's obvious that there are only these two girls who talk about strange things, but now they are unwilling to move their nests. Strange to say, I don't know if it's because of psychological suggestion, the whole hotel has become a little cold.
Shanhai laid out the mattress on the side, turned to them and said:
"If you're really not afraid, I have a few more stories to tell you."
"Goodbye."
"Farewell."
The two of them each took one of the seven girls' arms and left their room.
"Candlesticks stay!"
But no one paid any attention to him.
Shi Wuqi rolled his eyes in the dark.
"Is it true that the story of mountains and seas and the story of a hundred ghost lamps is true?"
"I don't know. Do you really want to try? ”
"It doesn't make much sense, forget it. But...... What do you think of the thing I saw today? ”
Shanhai slowly lay down and pulled the cup up.
"Maybe it's a drowning daughter, a woman who drowned in a bath, and tempted men to eat...... Or find a substitute for the dead. There may be a lot of things we don't know about this hotel. Tomorrow morning, I'll ask the shopkeeper. ”
"If he doesn't say it?"
"Don't you have 10,000 ways to get people to talk?"
Oh, Rin Dao Chang is broken.
Shi Wuqi was speechless, and also lay down to rest.
The girls' house was not far away, but they couldn't get around. If Miss Qi could speak, she would definitely complain about these two oil bottles.
"Mu Wan, what do you say......"
"W-What?"
"Why should we panic? Miss Qi, isn't she also a monster? ”
“…… You're quite right. ”
As if comforted, Mu Wan let go of his hand, straightened the hem of his clothes with one hand, and held an umbrella with the other. Ah Luan held the candlestick that came from their table, and suddenly froze again. Mu Wanzheng was strange, and found that Ah Luan turned his head, so he didn't move, turned his back to her, and pointed stiffly to the ground, and she looked at it.
It was obviously three people, but the shadows of four people were projected.
"I'm ......"
Whether it's really "one more person" or a candlestick ghost at work, it's enough to make people drink a pot.
Ah Luan's hand slipped, and the candlestick buckled to the ground, and his eyes immediately fell into darkness. Mu Wan fumbled on the ground, and finally picked up the candlestick and lit it with spiritual power. As soon as the fire was lit, it was extinguished again, and after six or seven times of this, she was a little angry.
Until the last time, the flame finally stopped being extinguished.
Blue.
You can't blow it out.
"Mu Wan Mu Wan" Dai Luan grabbed her wrist, "Two possibilities, one, we are dreaming." ”
"No way, it's super painful for you to pinch me."
"Well, it's a haunted house."
The two stared blankly at each other. At this time, a drop of water fell from the ceiling. Their first reaction was that the house was leaking, but it couldn't be, the weather outside was very good, and there was no sound of rain at all. They slowly lifted their stiff heads, and what they saw was a woman's face.
It's not Miss Qi.
It's just one face.
After this face, it stretched out a long, long neck, and out of nowhere, snakes spread across the roof. Mu Wan picked up the umbrella and instinctively wanted to stab it, but was dragged by Ah Luan and ran away, almost tripping.
"No, wait, what should Miss Qi do?"
"A woman who has no abandonment must have two brushes, I believe she can!"
"Even if you say so......"
The loose wooden floor creaked as if there were many pursuers behind him. Mu Wan clearly remembered that Shanhai's room was next to it, and they didn't take a few steps at all, but after running for a long time, they still seemed to be standing still, and they didn't see a door at all.
"Wait!"
Mu Wan shook off Ah Luan's hand, supporting his knees with one hand and holding an umbrella with the other, panting with exhaustion.
"It's so, so weird. Luan, don't you think something is wrong, we ......"
Mu Wan felt that his eyes had adapted to the darkness slightly, and the candlestick had already been dropped. She straightened up, suddenly realizing that she seemed to be the only one in the hallway. She talked for a long time, shouted for a long time, but no one answered.
Outside the wooden bars and windows beside the wall, there seemed to be someone's voice, which was very obvious in the silent night. But she couldn't make out what was being said, so she came closer. She saw a well outside the window, and from inside came the sound of porcelain rubbing.
"Three, four, five......"
Is it called a youkai of the number of dishes? She had only heard from her classmates before, and it would be a big trouble if she counted to the end of the plate that was missing. Although she didn't believe in this evil at the time, at this juncture, she still stuck to the wall and crept away.
As for Ah Luan, it took a long time to run before he felt that something was wrong.
She turned her head, gasping for breath, and leaned against a window.
"Mu Wan, what the hell is going on!"
Mu Wan, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised her head, and what appeared in front of her was an overly clean face that no longer even had facial features.
Dai Luan looked at her in a daze.
"Hey, aren't you afraid?"
Mu Wan asked her softly.
Then she closed her eyes and fainted on the spot.
