Chapter 22: The End is the Beginning

The woman in the red wedding dress walked slowly into the door of the ancestral hall, beautiful beaded flowers, bright gold ornaments, red tattooed with vivid phoenixes, bright golden lines embroidered with blooming peonies.

I watched her walk in, and it was a very strange feeling. The person who I thought I would never see again appeared in front of me so vividly.

"Shao Shao." She called my name again, her eyes slightly bright, with a little nostalgia.

I was just about to answer, but suddenly my left hand was grabbed, and Lilac pulled me over, with a solemn face that I had never seen before: "Senior brother, don't go over." This person... It's quirky. ”

"I know she's a ghost." I thought that Senior Sister was talking about Sister Fang's death, but I have seen so many ghosts, and even my old classmates, and I am not so scared when I see Sister Fang again.

But Lilac shook her head very vigorously and said, "No, she is a ghost, and she is not a ghost." Her state... It's weird. ”

"Your senior sister is right, she is not an ordinary ghost." Shan Yufei rarely agreed with Lilac's words, which surprised me greatly, and I couldn't help but look at Sister Fang at the door again.

Lilac picked up the long whip, and Shan Yufei also compared to the peachwood sword, and I saw that cold sweat appeared on their faces, as if they were facing a great enemy!

She was surrounded by two paper figures, the same boy and girl she had bought from a piece of paper fifteen years ago.

Behind them are four paper figures carrying a sedan chair, standing beside the sedan chair in a daze, they are not as flesh and blood as me and Fu Ying's paper figures, they are completely like paper figures.

Sister Fang smiled at me, and then slowly raised her right hand.

"Get out of the way."

I didn't see her make any moves, and Lilac and Shan Yufei each let out a scream and took several steps back.

"Get on your knees." Sister Fang's snow-white fingers then pressed down gently.

With two thuds, both of them knelt heavily in the dust at the same time.

From the struggle and shock on their faces, I could tell that they did not kneel voluntarily at all.

I hurriedly went to help Lilac, but her body was heavy as if it was crushing a mountain, and her beautiful face was dripping with beads of sweat like soybeans, and she couldn't even speak.

"Sister Fang, don't hurt them." I knew that this must have something to do with Sister Fang, so I hurriedly said, "They are my friends." ”

"Shao Shao, you have always been very kind." Jiang Fang looked at me, her face was the same as before, not as hideous and terrifying as other ghosts, her expression was even a little melancholy, "It's probably too early to meet you now... But if you see the county chronicle of Zhangjia Village, you should know why I died fifteen years ago, right? ”

“… Could it be that it is from Zhangjia Village? "Although I already had a guess in my heart when I saw the county chronicle, I still felt cold blood when I heard Sister Fang say it.

I was still young at the time, and I can only vaguely remember that it seemed to say that Sister Fang's death was related to a serial killer. But because Aunt Jiang and they moved away quickly, I don't know the specific plot.

Jiang Fang's face was calm, as if she was not talking about the cause of her death, she nodded, her fingertips swiped lightly in the air, and several plaques scattered on the ground automatically flew in front of her, and then lined up in front of me.

"Since the first generation of Zhangjia Village head built a village here, there have been ten generations. In every generation, there is a woman who has no idea, in order to appease the so-called water dragon god, she is refined into a monster and sacrificed to the monster under the monument. ”

Sister Fang said quietly, her black hair draped over her shoulders, and her fingers ran over the tablets, each time she swiped them, the tablets were filled with cracks, and then crumbled into slag with a clatter.

"Fifteen years ago, I was originally the eleventh, but the third uncle took action and didn't let the people of Zhangjia Village succeed. They lost their conscience and practiced evil arts, killing no less than ten girls in seven hundred years, and the soul of each girl had to be sacrificed with the blood of the seven people who lived and restrained each other to become a monster that was neither human nor ghost. Today, I want the whole village to pay for the lives of those who died unjustly, isn't it too much? ”

Jiang Fang looked at me, but this person who used to be very familiar now gave me a very strange feeling.

"I... I do not know. "I said slowly, maybe Sister Fang is right, if the county chronicles record the truth, the people of Zhangjia Village may have created boundless slaughter in the past seven hundred years, and they should indeed be killed!

But most of the people in Zhangjiacun are also innocent after all, and may not even know about it. I'm an outsider, how can I answer Sister Fang's questions for them?

"Sister Fang, I can't answer this question." I had no choice but to say.

Jiang Fang looked at me deeply, brushed her hair behind her ear with her left hand, and said with a smile: "It seems that I really shouldn't let you make this decision for me." ”

"I see! You are... Parasitic souls, borrow corpses to return souls! Suddenly, Shan Yufei, who had been forced to kneel on the ground, struggled to speak, he stared at Jiang Fang, and said, "You are the remnant soul resentment of the ten sacrificed women, gathered together, pieced together souls!" ”

Hearing Shan Yufei's words, I was taken aback and looked at Jiang Fang in front of me again. But she didn't care about Shan Yufei's words, but looked at me and said faintly: "Shao Shao, this time Xu is the end, Xu is another reincarnation, you have to be careful." Furthermore... It's been more than 700 years, and enough people have died, don't let Yingying go down the same path as me. ”

"Yingying? Sister Fang, where is Yingying? I saw that Jiang Fang turned around after speaking, put her hand on the virgin's hand, and walked out, I hurriedly chased after her and asked.

But in just a few steps, I didn't seem to be able to shorten it until Jiang Fang sat in the sedan chair, and I couldn't even step out of the door.

"Wait." Two boys and girls turned into paper figures stopped in front of me, one on the left and one on the right.

It's a strange feeling to be stopped by my childhood self, but I can't care so much now, I just want to ask about Yingying's whereabouts from Sister Fang.

But as soon as I walked to the side, the virgin who looked like Ying Ying stopped me and stretched out her hand to the back of the ancestral hall: "There is a cold pool behind the village, and there is a stone tablet under the pool, which was ordered by Emperor Wu Cao 1,500 years ago. My deity, your classmates are all there, and if you go quickly, you can save their lives. ”

Hearing this voice, I was stunned, this is Fu Ying's voice.

"You're... Ying Ying? I asked.

The virgin was wearing a red and black Tang costume, looking at me, her eyes did not have the slightest wave: "No, he and I are just a little bit of the primordial god from the deity, staying here and serving the Jiang girl." ”

The virgin replied without the slightest emotion, and then turned and walked back. And the boy I looked like when I was a child smiled at me, and said a word before leaving: "Sister Fang will not harm us, and the end is also the starting point." ”

I never thought I'd be beaten dumb one day, but today I did, and I wanted to call out my childhood self and ask what it really meant.

The boy and the girl returned to both sides of the sedan chair, and the four paper figures lifted the red sedan chair, sang strange songs, and turned away.

The cold moonlight shone down from the sky, and the strange procession faded away until it was completely gone.

I stood there and felt a sense of loss, when I saw Sister Fang, Sister Fang didn't hurt me, but I didn't feel a sense of relief.

Sister Fang, she left, did she mean that because of my 'I don't know', she temporarily gave up revenge on Zhangjiacun? But is this possible, if Shan Yufei's speculation is correct, then Sister Fang's body is filled with resentment for seven hundred years!

"The end is also the beginning... What do you mean? I muttered, recalling the last words the boy had said to me.

And as Jiang Fang left, Lilac and Shan Yufei suddenly leaned back, sat down on the ground, and were stunned for a moment before they stood up, and I saw them glance in the direction where the sedan chair left, their eyes full of fear.

"It's terrible, it's terrible." Shan Yufei wiped the sweat on his face and neck with his sleeve, and when he looked closely, both of his legs were trembling, "I feel like I've got a mountain on my back!" Damn, it almost crushed me! ”

"Phew, that's because you haven't cultivated enough, and this girl will be safe and sound." Lilac taunted Shan Yufei, but I could see that she was also stubborn, and her little face was white.

At this time, of course, I wouldn't give each other her stage, trotted over and stretched out my hand to help her, while asking with concern: "Senior sister, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, what can happen to me, senior sister?" Lilac wiped her sweat, and although she said something full of confidence, her eyes still subconsciously glanced in the direction of the entrance of the village, "However, that stupid guy in black is right." Your sister Fang... It's really terrifying, words are the law, deeds are the rules, this kind of ability I have only seen in legends, but she seems to have been able to touch that threshold. ”

I don't quite know what kind of ghost Lilac said, 'words are the law, and actions are the rules', but it is clear that Jiang Fang's evil ghost is not something they can deal with, or whether she can be defined as an evil ghost.

"This thing is very strange, according to what you said, senior brother, she has only been dead for fifteen years, where did she come from such a big ability?" Lilac had heard me talk about Sister Fang when she was in Raven Ridge, so it felt very strange.

I speculated, "Could it be the resentment of those who have been resentful of death for 700 years?" ”

Speaking of which, Lilac and I looked at Shan Yufei who put forward this inference, Shan Yufei looked at us, pouted and said: "Don't look at me, 'parasitic spirits, borrowing corpses to return souls' is also a legend in black, at least a thousand years have not happened to this kind of thing, and I can't bear to confirm it, I don't want to see her again in the future, who do you love, you don't die today, it's our fate." ”

"It's useless." Lilac mercilessly counted the black-clothed single feather fly, and turned back to me and said, "Senior brother, although it is said by the stupid man in black, it is also somewhat reasonable. Your sister Fang can come and go freely, she should have broken the ghost wall in Zhangjia Village, and we can leave now. The water in this Zhangjia Village is very deep, and now Senior Sister feels this way even more. ”

Looking at Lilac's concerned expression, I knew she was saying this for my consideration. I'm just a shopkeeper in a piece of paper, neither like Lilac who was born in white, nor is it a black-clothed cultivator like Shan Yufei.

With my ability to use half a bucket of water, in this Zhangjia Village, where there are dangers everywhere and every step of the way, I can die at any time.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but chuckle a little, this clove was a little confused, and quickly reached out and touched my forehead, and asked, "Senior brother, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, but senior sister, I can't leave now." I looked at Lilac, spread my hands and said, "I came here to take Ying Ying away, if I really leave like this and let Ying Ying become the second Sister Fang, I will regret it for the rest of my life." ”

"You... Forget it, you donkey, I won't advise you. Lilac looked like she wanted to get angry, but after looking at me, she swallowed her words back, buried her long hair, and said heroically, "If you don't leave, I can't go, senior sister." Otherwise, your life will have to be sent here. ”

"Damn, two neuropaths." Shan Yufei rolled his eyes, put the peachwood sword on his back, and said, "The mountains and rivers meet, don't say goodbye to the two, my brother will run for his life first." ”

After that, Shan Yufei turned around and left, Lilac spat at his back, I smiled bitterly, but there was no reason to ask him to stay and help, or rather, he hadn't found out that I was a well-dressed person, but it was a good thing.

Seeing him leave, I was just about to talk about Hantan, when suddenly a terrifying roar sounded in the night sky.

The earthquake trembled, and the ancestral hall of Zhangjia Village rumbled and collapsed!
