From the old man's mouth, it only took half a night for Shanhai to figure out what happened here.

The incident first happened when the Heshen Festival was held in Huansha City, and when it came to the link of asking the Heshen about the harvest, the goddess took the hexagram as usual. I never thought that the god of He did not answer people about this year's harvest as in previous years, but did not respond. At that time, people were angry with the goddess, blaming her for her insincerity and the reluctance of the god to manifest her spirit. But after that, there were a few different people, and no one could ask anything, and the answer was not a good harvest or a bad harvest, but there was no answer at all, as if the god He was missing.

That is, from that day on, the riverbank, the edge of the field, and the middle of the road, there were gradually many more strange and ugly monsters. They seem to be weak and sluggish, but when the slightest smell of food wafts in the vicinity, they rush up and eat all the food. Even if you eat something in your stomach, it is very painful, like swallowing a knife or eating fire, and the ghost cries and howls wolf. But even so, their stomachs never seemed to be filled, and when the time came for each family to harvest, regardless of the harvest, the hungry ghosts would eat up all the rice as the locusts crossed the border.

That's exactly what Rin Yamakai understands. Since the hungry ghosts were not changed by the living, and the gods did not respond, he could only come to one conclusion: ghosts and gods who did not belong to the human world poured into this city.

And the god of He, I don't know if he was hidden by people.

The Hungry are small and slow, and it takes a long time to reach the inner city. However, if a rift somewhere still can't be sealed, sooner or later, the entire Huansha City will be swept away by the hungry ghosts.

But those officials don't care.

Thinking of this, Ah Luan was a little annoyed.

And that's just one of them. Uncle said another thing they had never heard before.

There was a woman in her forties at the entrance of the village, whose name was unknown, but she was a widow when she moved in, and everyone called her a widow. The widow had a son named Plug, who was a bit mischievous, but he was also healthy. One day, he and a few friends went to the field to fight ghosts - that is, to use stones and sticks to chase down those hungry ghosts who robbed people of food to eat. It stands to reason that the aggressiveness of the hungry ghost is not very large, not to mention that the children are so numerous that there will be no problem in chasing one alone.

The bad thing is that they bumped into something else.

"Something else?" Luan asked.

"It's not the first time I've heard of this. But who knows, the bad thing net let the bolt catch up. Among those children, he had the sharpest eyes. These were later told to the adults by Erya - it was a bolt and saw a white shadow in the field. He just kept staring at it, and the big guys followed suit. After a while, the children didn't want to look at it, and shouted to the bolt to go, but he didn't move. If you pat him again, you will suddenly become insane. The children were frightened and ran back to call for the adults. The adults were also frightened when they came, and although the white shadow was missing from the field, the appearance of the bolt was terrifying. He twisted uncontrollably, twisting into a shape that no human could do, and he couldn't recognize it as a living person when he looked at it widely. In the end, several strong men held him down and tied him home. The goddess said, "This child must have seen something unclean and had fallen for evil." Now, there aren't any able-bodied people here, they've all gone out to find work. It's just that I pity the widow with such a strange child......"

"Did the father of the plug ever go crazy before he died?"

Luan asked. She knew that some diseases were passed down from the family, and they didn't have to be possessed by ghosts.

"We don't know, but the bolt mother is determined that she is not ...... crying all day long"

"The White Shadow...... Have you ever seen anyone else? ”

"Ask that group of children again, mentioning this, maybe it was frightened by the bolt, and their faces were not good-looking, so they shouldn't be you. But when three or two adults had seen it, they could only say that it was a white shadow, moving in the field, like a scarecrow blown by a strong wind. I'm afraid they didn't see it clearly, and if they did, I'm afraid it would be the same as the end of the plug......

Ah Luan looked at the mountains and seas, as if asking him, do you know?

It was only when he was practicing in Guanli that he heard similar stories from his brothers and sisters. What they all have in common are white ghosts in the field, strange and terrifying gestures, and one or two cursed children.

As for how to break the curse...... But they did not say it. Thinking about it like this, I'm afraid there is no solution.

Some people have also said that it is a karmic ghost. But this is not the karma of the human world, but the reincarnation of human beings, and the karma that has not been washed away gathers together like dirt to form such ghosts, which are left in that area.

These two things seem to be unrelated, but they actually have a small thing in common.

The monsters in the incident are all from the Hungry Ghost Road.

The Hungry Ghost Road is also called the Ghost Road, not only the Hungry Ghosts, but there are many of them, so it is named after it. In addition to hungry ghosts, there are also many fierce demon rakshasas, and if the rumors are true, karmic ghosts are also one of them.

But how does this ghost road border humanity? Could it be that at the intersection of the two worlds, what kind of rift has appeared...... If you ignore the rift and let it spread, I'm afraid the cost will be more than just this Huansha City.

Shan Hai gradually realized how serious the matter entrusted to him by Jiyue-kun was.

It's also serious.

"The evil child...... Can we go check it out? ”

The old man waved his hand:

"It's too late, tomorrow. However, it seems that you are a cultivator, so what kind of countermeasures have you come up with? ”

"Countermeasures...... Not really, I don't have much faith. If there's a hungry ghost anywhere, you can give it a try. ”

"Hungry ghost, yes?"

It is worthy of a full meal, the old man is in good spirits, and it seems that the momentum of the whole person is not very different. He slapped the table, startling Ah Luan, who had almost slept over.

"A few days ago, Butcher Chen's big meat sect stole from the hungry ghost. He devised a plan to catch a gluttonous ghost and shut him up in the cellar. It's also amazing, and after a few days of not eating or drinking, he hasn't starved the monster to death. ”

Well. Hungry ghosts are really immortal from hunger, and God must teach them to live to suffer sins and repay the karma of their previous lives. The house was small, and Abel pushed the only table into the corner, got some hay and sprinkled it on the floor, and spread two layers of old bedding.

"I'm still afraid of freezing, but there really isn't anything more to spread in the house......"

"You don't have to, if you are willing to accept us for a night, Poor Dao will already be grateful to Dade."

"Where! Sleep, I'll take you to Lao Chen's house tomorrow...... I just don't know if the Taoist chief needs to prepare anything? ”

Rin Shanhai helped Ah Luan cover the quilt, thought for a while, and responded:

"Just prepare some wet firewood. It would be nice to have toon wood. ”

"Okay, I'll get it tomorrow morning."

After speaking, the old man lifted the curtain and went back to the house to rest. After a while, there was a thunderous snoring sound in the back room. The little oil left on the table quickly burned out, and the room was dark again.

What the mountains and seas are calculating is the method of smoke and food. He'd heard about it, he knew what the process was, but he hadn't actually implemented it yet. But the matter of burning wood and reciting mantras may not be too difficult to operate.

The old man's snoring and creaking eaves, coupled with the slight moisture on the ground, made him feel a little chill in his bones. He reached out and touched Ah Luan's forehead, the temperature was normal, and he was a little relieved. This girl didn't have any wealth and wealth diseases, she was not picky eaters, she didn't choose a bed, and she was good at serving a lot.

But after all, she has just passed the age of Ji, and she is still a child who does not know the world in the eyes of Shanhai. In the past 20 years, he has not experienced too much, but he has a lot, and he always has this and that thing in his heart, and he really can't sleep as easily as a child. The slightest wind and grass at night teaches people to toss and turn.

After a long time, Shanhai finally got a little tired. He slowly closed his eyes and went to find Zhou Gong in his dream.

Zhou Gong didn't see it, and neither did Yu Gong. However, he did see the mountain.

He dreamed that he had returned to the past, in the year of the dancing spoon, and he carried the bamboo strips on his back to the mountain to collect medicine.

Did you really go to collect medicine? He vaguely remembered that the purpose of this trip seemed to be not looking for medicine, but birds.

The protector of Dailuan City, the divine bird Xuanluan.

It was when he was still young and convinced of such beautiful legends. But now the mountains and seas have already passed three years and five years since the year of the weak crown. Looking back at what I looked like when I was a child, it's really funny.

He remembered that he was climbing a steep slope. After a while, there will be a stone platform in front of you, and you will sweep the snow and rest on it for a while. Then, it goes up again. The further you go, the more dangerous the road becomes, and the craggy rocks cling to the biting ice, which is cold and slippery to the touch. Soon, the hill came to an end. The other mountain next to it was higher, but in between it was a bottomless valley, with only a few parts of it joining together.

Can't go any further, he knows.

But the child in the dream did not listen to him at all, and took his own steps forward. The snow was knee-high, and it was difficult for him to walk, but he still refused to give up and stubbornly walked forward.

Until you walk towards the overhanging snow area.

The snow was piled on top of each other, and the snowflakes were one after another, forming a false path on the edge of the cliff. He stomped into the air, stumbling on the smooth, cold rock. He gripped the cliff with his hand, and his fingertips were grinding painfully. Then he climbed a somewhat loose rock.

Before he could catch his breath, he fell straight down the cliff with a stone.

He had lost his senses, perhaps because it was too cold, and his limbs were paralyzed.

Opening his eyes, through the layers of blood, he saw two misty black shadows hovering around him. I didn't find the divine bird, but I found the soul that had been by my side, which is ironic.

He finally knew why little Ah Luan smiled at him.

Soon he will go with them.

One by one, everything becomes blurred. The sleepiness was even stronger, and he could almost be touched by the two shadows.

A man came in front of him, dressed in a blue and white shirt, and currently covered with a black satin.

"Wake up, Shanhai, you shouldn't sleep at this time, and you shouldn't sleep here."

He abruptly got to his feet.

"Jiyue-kun!"
