"But forget it, I also know that you young people don't like to tell us old people about these things, so I won't ask." The old man picked up the hot tea on the table next to him, took a sip, and said calmly.

"Anyway, why are you in the mountains?" I quickly diverted the topic and spoke to the old man.

In every sense, this is also a very strange thing, after all, this is a deep mountain, and there are many fierce beasts from time to time.

The fact that this old man was able to roam around this place was the one thing that puzzled me the most.

"I've lived here for a long time, and I can say I've been here for more than 10 years." The old man shook his head as he spoke, and slowly pulled down his hat.

I saw that under the hat was an incomparably terrifying face, most of the old man's face seemed to have been burned by the flames, pink flesh appeared on his face like a centipede, and even half of his lips were glued, looking extremely terrifying.

It's also because I've been through so many things, otherwise I would have been scared into incontinence when I first saw this old man.

"This is the scar I left before, there is no way to scare you, right? Lad. The old man smiled and shook his head.

"No, I'm just a little surprised, why did your face look like this?" I shook my head, feeling that my expression was a bit rude.

At this moment, Wang Song on the side was woken up by the sound of our chatting, he wiped his eyes, gasped, and sat up holding his hands.

"Liang Fan, where are we now?"

As he spoke, he looked at me, and then I let out a deafening scream, and as if I had jumped, I leaned directly against the corner of the wall and pointed at the old man and shouted, "Spirit! ”

The sound of his screams kept surrounding the wooden house, after all, he was afraid of spirits and people.

I grabbed Wang Song with an embarrassed look and hurriedly explained.

After hearing my explanation, Wang Song breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest as if in horror and said, "I'm scared to death, I thought I had met the spirit again." ”

"I'm sorry, old fellow, I was scared of you just now." Wang Song's tone was grinning.

"Since you're all awake, let's drink those Chinese herbs first, and then continue chatting."

The old man didn't care much about Wang Song's attitude just now, as if he had already gotten used to it.

After sleeping for a long time, we were already hungry, and we were satisfied after gobbling down those Chinese herbs.

Although these are Chinese herbal medicines, I don't know what the old man put in them, just like drinking millet porridge, and even some sweet taste.

"By the way, didn't you just want to know why my face looks like this?"

The old man looked at me like a black cat in the darkness with those deep eyes, and I shuddered involuntarily when I saw it, and I nodded without his eyes.

"In that case, let me tell you a story." The old man shook his rocking chair as he said slowly.

"A long time ago, I didn't live here, but for some reason I was sent here to hunt down a man with a spiritual object in his hand."

"By the way, old man, didn't you say you were going to tell us, what happened to your face? How did you get here? ”

After Wang Song heard this, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said impatiently.

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly."

The old man's hand pressed downwards to signal Wang Song to calm down, and then he continued:

"At that time, my master was looking for an incomparably precious spiritual object, and when he inquired about the clue to his understanding, he sent me out to find the spiritual object."

At this moment, the sound of a wolf howling came from outside the window, and the old man turned his head to look out of the door, and the wolf howl actually stopped immediately.

He turned his head and said, "According to the clues I got at the time, the comprehension was in the hands of an ordinary person, and I followed the traces all the way to Zhoushan Village. ”

When I first heard the words Zhoushan Village, I was stunned, isn't Zhoushan Village the terminal of the No. 4 bus?

"But I was still a step late, and there was a man who got this spiritual object by collecting antiquities and wanted to resell it, but this is a spiritual object, and there are not many people who know it."

"Since he couldn't get rid of it, he simply kept these things, but it was also because he kept these things that brought disaster to the village."

"Originally, many spiritual objects were with yin energy, and there were very strange things in the village one after another, some people said that they saw the spirits hitting the wall, and some people said that the chickens, ducks and geese in their homes died inexplicably.

"And things got worse and worse, and suddenly one day I don't know why there was a fire in the village, which burned the whole village to the ground, and it was at that time that I arrived in the village, but it was still a step too late."

"Although I found the spirit object later, and my face was burned by the flames to the current state, for some reason, I left the spirit object in Zhoushan Village."

"Then when I came back, I found that my master had already driven to the west, and I could only find a deep mountain and old forest to live in seclusion."

After listening to the old man's words, I nodded, and I also understood what happened, and I had a gut feeling that what the old man said must be inseparable from the No. 4 bus.

"By the way, what is the spiritual creature you are talking about?" I asked.

After hearing this, I don't know if it was my delusion, but the old man looked at me with a smile before slowly coming.

"That spiritual creature is a snake-body-human-faced jade figure, and a bamboo slip." As I said this, the old man kept looking at my chest.

When I heard the old man's words, my whole heart lifted, and the old man said that the serpentine face he was talking about was not exactly this thing on my chest?

"By the way, sir, what kind of effect do you say?" I pursed my dry lips and looked at the old man and asked.

"This thing is something that the capable people specially used to suppress evil spirits, and at that time, because that young man brought these things back to the village, more than 100 people died in the village."

"It also attracted a very powerful evil spirit, and it is also for this reason that I specially left that book and snake body and human face there, specifically to suppress that evil spirit."

When I heard this, my heart couldn't help beating a drum, and when the old man said this, it seemed that he was pointing at me, and I hurriedly asked:

"What happens if the object is taken away? Will the evil you suppressed be unleashed? ”

This is the topic that is most of my concern, and I wonder if it was because I brought those two things out that I kept bringing disaster to me.

"Yes, if the things I put there for repression are taken away, the spirit will also be released." The old man nodded as a matter of course.

"Speaking of which, old man, what does the spirit you said look like, is it scary?"

Wang Song belongs to the kind of person who is very typical and is afraid to ask again, although he was already trembling slightly with fright at this time, he still gritted his teeth and asked such a sentence.

"The demon was wearing a black raincoat, and his hat was so tightly covered that there was no way to see what he looked like." The old man stepped aside and set the wood on fire, threw a few handfuls of wood into the stove and began to boil water.

"Black raincoat?" Wang Song seemed to remember something, and quickly turned his head and asked me.

"Liang Fan, are you a little familiar with this black raincoat? I seem to have seen it somewhere. ”

"Are you stupid? Didn't Xie Daocong come here specifically to find that one spirit? ”

Before we ran away yesterday, I glanced in the direction of the house, and the spirit was wearing clothes that resembled a raincoat.

Thinking of Xie Daocong's situation at this time, I replied to Wang Song impatiently.
