Chapter 31: Evil Spirits Break into the Shop

After the incident in Zhangjia Village, I originally wanted to go home and sleep well regardless of it, but halfway through it, I suddenly remembered cloves.

My mind suddenly stirred, although at that time, in order to prevent Lilac from following me in danger, I used a ghost to stop her. But Shan Yufei is a man in black after all, and when I come back to my senses, I faintly feel a little uneasy.

Tut......

I turned around and trotted all the way to the mouth of the gourd instead. It's still early in the morning, and there are few pedestrians, and even if there are some who exercise in the morning and run in the morning.

I died in Zhangjia Village, and the clothes on my body were wet and dry, stained and tattered, and some of the people who saw me were obviously stunned, and several of them rubbed their eyes as if they were ghosts.

I had a fever on my face and quickly ran over with my head down. After all, I was born and raised here, and many elders in Hulukou know me, so it would be a shame to be recognized.

Soon, the bleak Ximen Old Street appeared in my sight. The street is rumored to be haunted, so there are hardly any people during this time of the morning.

To be honest, I was a little apprehensive when I came to a piece of paper. Although it was an accident, I did break the rules for opening the store yesterday, and I don't know if anything will happen......

"Senior sister?"

I pulled out my key, opened the side door, and cautiously peeked in.

There was a faint musty smell in the dark store, and the shadows of some paper figures and paper horses were in a trance. Even after passing by the events of Zhangjia Village, I still feel a little hairy when I see those paper figures hidden in the dark.

No one?

I swallowed, walked in the dark, and reached for the light switch on the wall.

At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I saw that a paper figure seemed to move, and I was immediately startled, and quickly turned around and looked there.

But in the darkness of the shadows, there was a sudden jingle and a cold hand slapped on my shoulder.

"Ah——!h

I screamed in fright, jumped forward several steps like an electric shock, and accidentally bumped into the wooden table with the paper supplies, and almost hit my head on the edge of the table.

"Senior brother!" At this time, I heard the exclamation of Lilac in the darkness, and a cold hand quickly grabbed my wrist to prevent me from really falling on the table.

"Teacher, sister?" I looked back in disbelief, and quickly withdrew my hand, trying to make out the face in the shadows.

Smack.

The light on the beam was turned on, the room finally lit up, I saw the figure of the Xiangxi girl in front of me clearly, the beautiful face returned to its usual demeanor, and looked at me a little unhappily at this time: "What are you doing?" It's like seeing a ghost. ”

"It's not... Senior sister, why are you scaring me if you have nothing to do? Seeing that Lilac was fine, I patted my chest, which was both relieved and a little complaining.

I wasn't killed by a ghost in Zhangjia Village, I was almost scared to death by a lilac in a piece of paper!

Lilac was holding a colorful lamp, and when she heard this, she looked at me faintly and asked, "Senior brother, do you really think I'm okay?" ”

Hearing her faint tone, my heartbeat, which had just calmed down, immediately rose again, and said with a forced smile: "Senior sister, don't scare me, I've been scared enough in Zhangjia Village." ”

"Senior brother, you touch my hand." Lilac stretched out her hand, her white face was even more pale at this time, "Have you ever seen a living person, have you ever had such a cold hand?" ”

Miscellaneous......

I couldn't help but widen my eyes, my brain buzzed like a thunderbolt.

"Senior sister, tell me, what's going on?" I grabbed her outstretched hand, and the cold touch made my heart tremble, "Who hurt you, tell me." I swear I will avenge you! ”

"You... You're not afraid of me? Lilac looked at me with some surprise. When I heard this, I was a little surprised: "What am I afraid of you doing?" ”

"I'm a ghost."

"You are my senior sister, of course I am not afraid of you." I said it seriously, and at the same time I felt even more sad, sad and angry, and blamed myself.

Poof!

At this time, Lilac suddenly burst out laughing, put down the colorful lantern with her left hand, flicked her finger on my forehead, and said, "Okay, I won't tease you." Seeing you like this, you can't help but be weak, and you still want to fight with people? ”

"You were killed, of course I have to fight hard!"

"What nonsense? Your senior sister, I Bing Xue is smart, the only one in the world, where can I die so easily? Idiot. Lilac buried her long hair with one hand, patted my hand coquettishly, and said, "Let go, it's not light or heavy." Girl's hand, where do you hold it like that? ”

When I heard her words, I was stunned, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong.

After reacting, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he realized that he was being slammed by this ghostly Xiangxi girl again!

"Senior sister! When has this been, are you still playing with me? I was so angry that I glared at the girl in annoyance and turned to clean up what I had just knocked over.

On the one hand, I was a little angry, and on the other hand, I was a little ashamed because of what I had just done.

Damn, it's just crazy about me!

Thinking about what I had just said, I was ashamed to jump back to a few minutes ago and shut my mouth.

"Are you really angry?" Lilac's voice came from behind, and seeing that I ignored her, she turned to me again and said, "Don't you ask me, why is there no temperature on my body?" ”

"Anyway, it's to scare me, right?" I said angrily.

Before I could finish speaking, I was hit on the forehead again, not very hard, but enough to make me want to get angry.

But Lilac's words made my anger go down again.

"Nonsense, I'm doing this for you?" Lilac's beautiful eyes glared at me, and her small mouth pursed and snorted, "Be kind to the liver and lungs of a donkey, I knew that you were so ignorant and let you be killed by evil ghosts!" ”

"Devil's shop? What do you mean? Hearing these four words, which were quite sensitive, I suddenly stopped what I was doing.

Lilac glanced at me, as if she was angry, and looked away: "I won't tell you, anyway, if I can't pass this level, the fate of our senior sister and brother will be over." ”

… Does this sound serious?

In the end, driven by the two elements of curiosity and fate, I went to buy back soy milk fritters and two bowls of steaming preserved egg and lean porridge, and put them on the table to please this eccentric senior sister.

Lilac wasn't really angry with me, she gave me a blank look, asked me to sit down across from me, and explained to me the so-called 'ghost shop' while eating breakfast.

It is particular to open the door at 11 o'clock at midnight and close the door at 4 o'clock in the morning, because this time is the time when the yin qi between heaven and earth is the heaviest, the ghost door is closed, and Huangquan Road is present.

During this time, the dead spirits will set foot on the Yellow Springs Road to a world that no one knows exists.

There are ghosts and spirits whose relatives burn shrouds, shoes and other things, and it will be easier to walk on Huangquan Road. And the ghosts who have no one to worship and burn the longevity wood will come to buy the things they need to set foot on the Huangquan Road.

Especially in modern times, the ancient customs have disappeared a lot under the impact of scientific civilization, and modern people feel that it is not necessary to burn paper for the dead.

This has also led to a lot of ghosts coming to buy underworld products with a piece of paper.

But that's not to say it's just a good thing, if you don't open the door on time, you can get into trouble. The ghosts who were supposed to go on the road could not buy the supplies they needed, and it was difficult to get on the road, and if they missed the time, they were prone to resentment.

And this resentment will easily vent to the shopkeeper in a piece of paper, and there will be the so-called evil ghost shop.

"I heard that this incident of the evil ghost breaking into the shop has happened many times since the establishment of the paper dress. According to some records, the shopkeepers who were broken through the shop died quite miserably. As she spoke, Lilac snatched a fritter from my mouth, pointed at me and said, "You didn't open on time yesterday, and 100% evil spirits will come tonight." ”

"Damn! It's not what I want! "I feel that I am really unlucky, the front foot has just escaped from Zhangjia Village, and there are evil ghosts waiting to come to the shop on the back foot.

"The ghost still cares if you want to or not?" Lilac raised an eyebrow, if I didn't know her character, I would have thought she was gloating.

As she spoke, she put the fritters in her mouth, and seemed to think that I had eaten them, and tore off half of her head with some disgust.

I rolled my eyes, took half of the fritters, dipped some soy sauce, and swept away the rest of the porridge.

"Senior brother, I find that you are getting bolder and bolder. You know that there are evil ghosts asking for your life at night, but you still eat it? Lilac looked at me with one hand on her cheek and quipped.

I burped contentedly, leaned back in my chair and said, "Early death and late death, people are born to die." Even if you want to die, it's better to be a hungry ghost than to be a starving ghost. ”

"Poof... What kind of theory is this? Lilac couldn't help but laugh, as if she couldn't see it, and threw the other half of the fritters into my bowl, "It's like a starving ghost." ”

"Senior sister, then you made your body temperature so low, what does it have to do with the evil ghost breaking into the shop?" I didn't care about Lilac's eyes, took a bite of the fritters, and asked vaguely.

This is also the main reason why I can be so calm, although my cheap senior sister is eccentric, she is by no means a side-by-side character. Now that she knew about the demon shop, she must have come up with some idea.

Sure enough, under my expectant gaze, a familiar smug and expectant smile appeared on Lilac's face.

And when I saw this smile, I couldn't help but shiver excitedly, and I felt that the fritters in my mouth suddenly didn't smell good.

"Senior sister, don't look at me like this." I coughed dryly and said, "You can say something." ”

"Hee-hee, you don't have to be so wary! Senior sister, I won't harm you, it's just that if you want to get through this hurdle, you have to take a risk first. Lilac smiled mysteriously.

After breakfast, Lilac asked me to change into clean clothes, and then drove non-stop to a wilderness mountain behind Crow Ridge.

She looked all the way around, looking for directions, and finally at the destination, I saw a collapsed grave.

It was surrounded by strangely shaped rocks, and even though the sky was clear, only clouds pressed down on the mound.

Here, it seems that the light is a little weaker, and the black ground, the chaotic stone forest, and the wisps of yin everywhere make me feel very uncomfortable.

"Senior sister, what is this place?" I looked at the collapsed grave, there was not even a tombstone, and I had no idea who was buried.

And behind the mound there is a pitch-black cave that slopes downward, and the ominous black is even more terrifying.

Just as I was crouching next to me to observe the cave, a hand suddenly pushed me behind my back.

Caught off guard, I screamed and leaned forward, thrust into the dark cavern.
