But after scolding, it became even more angry, scolding someone who would not respond to you at all was like punching cotton and being extremely aggrieved.

"Bang".

The sound pulled Sang out of his rage, and he turned his head to see that Aunt Rong was gone, and the closed courtyard door of Yuyin Mountain House was opened, and the wind swayed and swayed.

"I still want to run."

After squeezing these three words out of his teeth, Sang Da strode outside, the wind ruffled its messy hair, and the moonlight cast flickering shadows on its face through the shade of the trees, decorating the originally beautiful face to the point of terrifying, plus a pair of different pupils, making it look no different from the blue-faced fanged monster in the underworld.

Aunt Rong was running towards the back door of the Wubi Pavilion while looking behind, and she saw that although Sang was walking steadily, the distance between her and herself was getting smaller and smaller, and she couldn't help but speed up her steps again. Caught off guard, she slipped and fell to the ground, her two kneecaps slamming into the frozen ground, almost cracking. But at the moment she didn't care about anything, she just used her hands and feet together, and crawled towards the back door like a dog.

She listened to the footsteps behind her, shivered and took out a key from her waist, propped herself up with one hand, and inserted the key into the lock hole with the other.

"Smack."

The lock opened, and Aunt Rong slammed the door open, crossed the threshold with both hands, and touched the jade stone steps outside. The stone steps were cold, and there seemed to be ice water flowing in them, and her heart moved, and she climbed forward a few steps, trying to cross her legs as well. But at this time, she felt that the corner of her skirt was stepped on, and a figure fell from the top of her head? Wrap her whole body in it.

"Where can you go? Barren mountains and mountains? Wild ghosts can still be accommodated, and you? It's impossible. ”

That voice floated down from above? Immediately afterwards, Aunt Rong felt a pain in her back? It stepped on its other foot and stomped on her spine.

Hurt? I don't know if it hurts thousands or tens of thousands of times more than a knee injury? It was as if an iron mountain was pressing on her body, and she couldn't wait to press out her heart, liver, lungs, stomach and intestines. Aunt Rong gasped hard, but what she smelled was death.

It turns out that death is so terrible, no wonder everyone she killed? There was fear in the eyes. So many years? Although she had never had nightmares about her own evils, she would always think of those pairs of eyes inadvertently.

Chen Yuan's, the rest of the Chen family's, and Master Lin's......

Without exception, in the face of death? They were stunned at first, and then they had bottomless fear? Fear condensed in her eyes, and then through her eyes? Freeze on her heart. It turns out that humans and animals are the same, and everyone is afraid of death? She remembers killing pigs and sheep in the countryside when she was a child? The brutes would have looked like that before they died.

From fear to despair? From despair to fear.

Once upon a time, she was very unimpressed, because the knife can cut everything in a single stroke. But at this moment, when death was closing in on her, she suddenly realized that feeling. The taste of fear turned out to be like this, heavier than the body that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds on the body, and could grind people into the tiniest dust, which could never be turned over.

However, she is still unwilling to admit defeat, she has not lived enough......

Aunt Rong gasped, one hand picked at the jade stone steps and groped forward, the stone steps were so cold, like ice, she felt that her fingers were almost frozen by it, sticking off a layer of skin. But she couldn't stop, she was about to touch it.

She caught it—the chopstick, the chopstick she'd been hiding all along, the chopstick that had just rolled out of the cuff.

"Ding......

She struck the stone steps, and the humming echo echoed far away, far enough to penetrate the verdant mountains and forests ahead, and to the deep, unknown place.

Aunt Rong felt the strength on her back loosen suddenly......

***

Ten years ago, before the establishment of the Wubi Pavilion, Aunt Rong found a coffin on this barren mountain full of pines and cypresses, a coffin made of jade. It is hidden in the roots of the pine tree at the top of the mountain, which is said to have lived for more than a thousand years, like an insect surrounded by cobwebs.

She remembers that it was an autumn afternoon, and she picked pine cones in the mountains, ready to fry them and sell them at the market, but that day, she was very unlucky, and she walked from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain, and she did not find a single pine cone. She wondered why she couldn't find a single fruit from the pine trees that covered the mountains.

Confused, she found the answer.

She saw that beside the largest pine tree on the top of the mountain, there was a group of wild ghosts gathered in the black press, and there were so many that even she, who was accustomed to seeing ghosts, could not help but feel frightened. They covered almost the entire top of the mountain, with the old pine tree as the axis, spreading out to the side, Wuyang Wuyang, looking from afar, like a large cloud of ink.

Aunt Rong knew that there must be something on the top of the mountain that attracted them, otherwise, these wild ghosts would not have crossed the mountains and seas and traveled thousands of miles to come here. So she climbed up the hill with a hard head, she was afraid, although the wild ghosts do not eat people, but she has seen their cannibalistic corpses, and the tragic scene may haunt her until the day of death.

But compared to fear, the hunger in her stomach seemed to be more imminent, she and Song Yao had just come to settle here, helpless, and it was the greatest gift of heaven to be able to fill their stomachs every day, and the place where so many wild ghosts could gather might hide the food they needed most.

So Aunt Rong climbed towards the top of the mountain with firm steps, no, at that time, she was not called Aunt Rong, she was just a widow with a son in tow, poor and helpless, living in a nunnery, living a hungry and full life, where the future was, she could not see at all. When people have nothing to lose, they have nothing to worry about, they are willing to cut their bodies, and dare to pull the emperor off the horse, so Aunt Rong at that time was even more courageous than now. But when she climbed to the top of the mountain out of breath, she was shocked by the scene in front of her, she always felt that she had seen the "world", but even so, the strange scene at the top of the mountain still made her legs weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

The ground under the thousand-year-old pine tree cracked, like a mouth opened, and the twisted roots inside were the teeth in the mouth.

Surrounded by tree roots, in the middle is a coffin, a jade coffin made of imperial green. Against the backdrop of those black-brown roots, it is even greener and brighter. What's even more strange is that when Aunt Rong stared at the coffin, there was a faint sound of "rustling" water flowing in the coffin, like a clear spring in the mountain.

I'm afraid no one knows what the coffin is used for. So even though she was afraid, Aunt Rong leaned over and looked at it.
