Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 5: Shadow Blur

Rin Shanhai shook off Ah Luan's hand without saying a word, rushed forward and snatched a family's lantern, and chased into the house alone.

When was it too careless to let things out in? Or is it that in addition to the imps outside, there are indeed youkai such as the Shadow Girl inside the house.

Everyone was in the yard, and there was no one in the house, and he ran frantically after the traces of the shadow. He watched as the shadow crept past the door and scurry down the wall.

Not a Shadow Girl...... The Shadow Girl will not leave the paper door. What is it something else, something else...... Something even scarier.

Thinking like this, fine beads of sweat appeared on Shanhai's forehead.

There was a lot of commotion in the courtyard. Ah Luan's eyes could see that the babies were hanging on the porch, trying very hard to follow the mountains and seas in. She wasn't sure what to do, whether she should go in and help him. But he pushed her away so resolutely, and the room was ......

Ah Luan suddenly noticed that the souls of those babies suddenly stopped making trouble. As if they had heard a call, they left one by one, heading around the other end of the courtyard. Ah Luan followed closely, and after turning a corner, she saw the last child crawl into the house.

The most recent dish of salt, which was originally white, turned a charred black, and the weight was much less, as if it had collapsed.

Something is wrong - there are powerful ghosts here.

Unable to take care of too much, Ah Luan clutched the peachwood sword at his waist and walked in.

The shadow was moving so fast that Rin couldn't keep following it. When he reached the fork in the road, he took out the compass. As if there was some powerful magnetic force, the needle of the compass pointed out the direction of the shadow. He chased all the way, only to see a little boy at the end of the hallway, where he bowed his head and beckoned him over.

It was the young master Qi who was killed.

But the pointer led him upstairs, and the mountains and seas didn't know what to do. He suddenly thought that the second floor of the main room was the room where Mrs. Qi was.

While he hesitated, a woman's scream came from upstairs. Rin Shanhai couldn't help but say and ran upstairs.

Madame's room was tightly closed. The mysterious human figure is reflected on the door, and the shadow is full of shadows. The locked room felt like a gust of wind, and furniture and utensils collided in all directions. He seemed to feel the whole house tremble with some unseen force, and the doors and windows creaked as if they were about to fall apart.

Shanhai was unsure of the situation inside, and he tried hard to open the door, but found that it was in vain. There was no way, he took out a black charm from his sleeve and prepared to use his spiritual power to forcibly blast the door open.

The more the fire pit, the more you have to jump into it, probably someone like Rin Shanhai.

At this point, he felt something tugging at the hem of his clothes. He turned around, and the little imps were pulling at him one by one, as if to dissuade him from entering.

When he turned sideways, he found that Young Master Qi's ghost had also appeared on the second floor at some point. The young master kept waving to him, as if he wanted to say something to him.

Shan Hai is convinced that the salt barrier has been destroyed. But he didn't know who did it, only that the goblins, driven by his blood, seemed to have something to tell him urgently.

He looked at the door anxiously, and then at the young master. Finally, he put the charm on the crack of the door and ran downstairs after the young master's ghost. After leaving the house, the ghost pointed to a certain vermilion pillar and stood there without moving. When the mountains and seas ran over, the young master disappeared.

Pillar?

Like thunder on the ground, Rin remembered the words of the steward.

"This house has been ...... from the previous dynasty"

At that time, there seemed to be some bad habits.

He didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately called the steward and the housekeeper, and led the guy to dig down the pillar. Even Dahei seemed to sense something, struggling to dig the soil at the edges.

Master Qi had already heard that the movement was not normal, and he insisted on breaking into the house, but Shanhai let a few people stop him. Don't look at the old man's weak appearance, he can't hold down three or four sturdy family members. It is impossible to say that Rin Dao Chang is not anxious. The sick lady was alone in the house, and everyone was terrified, and they all trusted him, and although they muttered in their hearts, they did as he was told.

At first, he was a little unsure of himself, but when he saw the compass spinning wildly in this direction like out of control, he was sure of his own understanding.

Human pillar ghosts.

A long, long time ago, due to the construction or construction of a house, there were often some difficulties that prevented the project from proceeding. At this time, due to the lack of relevant knowledge, people will simply blame this phenomenon on some local ghosts, so the method of human pillar sacrifice is adopted.

That's a very cruel practice. The living were tied to pillars, or locked in coffins, laid on the base, filled with earth, and covered with buildings. The living are suffocated and suffocated, and their souls are trapped in the house, unable to become Buddhas.

It's not a mourning god, it's a ...... Such a terrible ghost. Over the years, it has been smooth weather, but because of the fact that Granny Qi, that is, Li Qin's family, has continued to brutally kill those babies and call them stillborns, and the young master who was in his teens was also innocently killed a while ago, it has greatly aggravated the yin qi in the house, and no matter how active the people above are, they can't suppress it.

While thinking like this, someone suddenly shouted that something was revealed.

He looked there again, and the pit was already deep, deep. He took a deep breath and looked inside, and sure enough, a human skull was revealed.

"Keep digging!" He said almost tremblingly.

After the intact body is taken out and lined up, it can go through a series of complex rituals or chanting to surpass the deceased.

But there is no time. The easiest way is to take out only its skull, paste a written talisman, and then use a peachwood sword to cut the charm so that the skull will crack in response, so that the ghost of the deceased will disappear in an instant.

…… Peachwood sword.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ah Luan! Ah Luan! Dai Luan is there! Has anyone seen my disciples? ”

He looked left and right, and asked in a panic. Some people said that they saw that she had gone into the house, and they did not know where she was now.

Rin Shanhai panicked. The last time he was so nervous was when he fell off a cliff as a child, worried that he wouldn't be able to make it back alive. He felt his legs go limp, as if he was dragging two pieces of cotton into the house, and almost climbed up to the second floor. When he ran to Madame's door, the black charm he had put up was gone.

The mountains and seas opened the door suddenly.

A black smoke erupted and roared towards the face of the mountains and seas. The biting cold wind seemed to be able to peel off a layer of skin, and he raised his arms to cover his face with the hem of his clothes, and when he could open his eyes, he was dumbfounded by the sight before him.

In this black mist, he seemed to be in another space that did not belong to the human world. Ah Luan is here, her expression is extremely indifferent, although she herself has nothing to say, at this time, it gives people a creepy sense of silence.

He knew that Ah Luan had been weak since he was a child, and he was easily possessed by unclean things.

However, when she saw Rin, she saluted respectfully.

Shanhai slowly took out the Eight Desolation Mirror and shone the mirror at her. Turning his face sideways, he saw from the mirror that there was a slim woman standing in the position of Ah Luan.

It is a very graceful beauty.

With long brown hair and flowing clothes, she looks like a fairy descending to earth.

But there is no face.

The lady on the sickbed on the side smiled gently and calmly. The ones in his arms and the ones lying beside him are all those children in swaddling clothes. That's what a mother should do.

Luanβ€”No, I should say the woman, handed over the peachwood sword and a charm. He recognized it as his own black talisman, but it had a strange pattern written in blood on the back. It was superimposed on the lines on the front, and he took it, and it took a long time to recognize it, it was a type of seal talisman.

"You...... No, you're ......."

The black mist dissipated in an instant, and everything around it returned to its original state. The furniture and utensils are displayed in their original positions untouched. The child beside Mrs. Qi was also gone, and she just fell asleep quietly, still with a happy smile on her face.

Ah Luan suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed in front of him. He rushed forward to help her up, only to find that her palm had been cut at some point, covered in black blood.

Then the old man who dared to come rushed into the house, fell down on Mrs. Qi's bed, and wept bitterly.

The dust has settled.

By the time Ah Luan opened his eyes, it was already noon. You can hear the sound of birds frolicking in the courtyard, and occasionally one or two pink butterflies fluttering by the door.

She raised her left hand with clean gauze wrapped around her palm. Touching the neck, the peace lock was still hidden between the coat and the inner lining.

Seeing that she was awake, a little maid with a raw face happily rushed out of the yard to report safety.

Today's house is very lively, and many people come to the front of Qi's house. I heard that the evil ghost was solved, so naturally many people came to join in the fun. Chief Rin had to deal with many pleasantries, and it wasn't until the little maid called him that he ran back to the courtyard without saying hello.

"That woman is the family god of this house. Because after the lady was hit and sick, the Qi family no longer had the energy and confidence to worship it, and its spiritual power was also weakened a little, and it could not maintain a pure state. So in the middle of the night, through the candlelight, its shadow will be cast on the doors, windows and walls. ”

"I know," Luan pulled out his peachwood sword and examined it carefully, "What about Xiaohe?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ took the young master's bones and went back to his hometown. A few days later, the old man personally came to the door to make amends. By the way, Madame has also come to her senses, but her legs and feet are not good, so she needs to move more. And ah, ...... Li Qin's family was also escorted to the Yamen......"

Ah Luan drank the potion next to the bed in one gulp and put on his shoes. As Shanhai said these words, she checked her medicine box. Finally, she picked up her back, turned and walked out the door.

"You're all right, if that's the case......"

"You've got a lot to talk about, so let's go. Later, when the news spread, the alleys were empty. Not to mention the city gate, even at the mouth of the alley, we can't leave. ”

What she can't cope with in the world is not the underworld, nor is it this Lang Lang.

It's the streets and alleys, all over the sky, abounding, looking up and not looking down.

It is only this hidden human heart, so that you have no way to know, but there is nowhere to escape.
