"Let's go! Maybe there's something more sinister waiting for us in the village! Now the sun is big and the yang energy is heavy. It's good for us. Old man Xiao stood up and patted the dirt on his buttocks.

"Mengmeng, why don't you wait for us outside! I'm afraid that if the time comes... "I plan to let Jiang Yimeng stay outside and wait for us, if we can't get out, she can escape.

"Isn't there still you, a mountain walker, and him, a Maoshan Taoist? Besides, my karate is not vegetarian. I'm going in with you. Jiang Yimeng looked at me with his fist in his tugg.

"Can you bear to let a girl stay outside?" Old man Xiao gave me a blank look.

"Humph! Mr. Xiao let me in. Jiang Yimeng playfully stuck out his tongue.

"Ugh! All right! Then you will follow us! Don't go too far. I nodded helplessly, but finally agreed to let her enter the village with us.

Even though it was already autumn and September, the sun was still very hot.

In the ghost village, because no one has walked for many years, the original sheep intestine path is also covered with thatch more than one person high, and the three of us bent over in the dense thatch and walked towards the village.

The sharp thatched blades cut my bare arms, stimulated by sweat. Suddenly, there was a hot pain in the wound.

After several hours of walking through the dense thatched bushes, I finally arrived at the only well-preserved building in the village at noon, a late Qing ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is surrounded by many vines, and the tables, chairs and benches inside have long since turned into a pile of rotten wood under the decay of time and the bite of insects and ants.

The plaque above the ancestral hall gate was already covered with cobwebs and dust, and the handwriting on the plaque had completely disappeared. Only an empty plaque remains.

"Squeak" Old man Xiao gently pushed the door of the ancestral hall that was opening and closing, the two tattered wooden doors had long been decayed, and a sharp and piercing sound was made when he pushed it slightly.

"Old Xiao, be careful." I said to Old Man Xiao who was about to go inside.

"Hey, hey! Don't worry, I'll take the lead and be a pioneer for you. Old man Xiao turned his head and smiled, and then walked in.

"Mengmeng, let's go in too!" I took Jiang Yimeng's hand and walked slowly towards the ancestral hall.

The huge ancestral hall was covered with cobwebs, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust. It seems that we are the first visitors to this ancestral hall in a hundred years.

"It's so heavy here! You two be careful! Old man Xiao looked around with a frown, and then reminded us to be careful.

I pointed to a black tile altar on the ground not far away and said to Old Man Xiao, "Old Xiao! This ancestral hall is a place to worship ghosts and ancestors, how can there be such a kimchi jar in it? Is kimchi used as a sacrifice here? ”

"I don't know about this, a place has a local custom!" Old man Xiao looked up at the starry hole in the roof.

"Who?" Jiang Yimeng suddenly shouted, and I hurriedly walked to Jiang Yimeng's side: "Mengmeng, what's wrong?" Did you find anything? ”

"I just saw a little kid flash in front of me." Jiang Yimeng looked at me in horror.

"Old Xiao, there is a situation, be careful" I shouted loudly.

"Hmmm! Okay, you two pay attention down there, and I'll go to the rooftop and have a look! Old man Xiao took out two charms and tied them to his legs, and then chanted words in his mouth. Then his body rose into the air, and the two charms on his legs also emitted a ball of fire, and under the impetus of that fire, his whole body fell on the largest beam of the roof.

"I didn't expect Lao Xiao's magic technique to really be good! I used to hear the master say that Lao Xiao is the only successor of the Shenxing Taibao, and it seems that he really deserves his reputation! I looked at Jiang Yimeng with a smile.

"Shenxing Taibao? I remember that there was also a Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong in the Water Margin. Could it be that? Jiang Yimeng looked at me curiously.

"No, this Shenxing Taibao was a famous thief in the rivers and lakes back then, what he was best at was Shenxing, which was the kind that Lao Xiao just used, and it is said that his Shenxing Technique can travel 800 miles a day, and he can also shuttle freely between the underworld and the yang. Later, I heard that his old man was killed in the East China Sea. "I still know a little bit about the magic technique, so I said to Jiang Yimeng again:

"Legend has it that this kind of magic can only be done with the magic charm and the magic spell, but the founder of the magic has accepted an apprentice in his life, so there is no third person who knows how to do it. I don't know exactly how to use it, I have to ask Lao Xiao about this. ”

"Boy, go to the corner on the right, there seems to be something there!" Old man Xiao, who was standing on the roof beam, shouted at me.

"Oh! Got it, is it this way? "I walked in the direction that Old Man Xiao said, and turned my head to ask Old Man Xiao on the beam.

"That's right! There it is. Take a closer look! Old man Xiao sat on the beam of the room and lit a cigarette.

"Wow! There are a lot of kimchi jars here! Hey! These jars are so strange! Jiang Yimeng squatted curiously next to an altar and watched.

There are several layers of black jars stacked in the corner, and there are dozens of them alone. Each altar is engraved with mysterious patterns and strange words, as if it were some kind of ancient charm. The sealing mud at the mouth of the altar is still intact. It's just that some of the altars have some cracks.

"Lao Wang, there is something in this altar, it seems to be still moving." Jiang Yimeng threw the jar in his hand on the ground like an electric shock, and looked at me with a pale face.

"What? Something? Or alive? How could it be! No one has been in here for more than 100 years, except for rats. I picked up a jar and shook it vigorously.

As I shook it vigorously, the contents of the altar also hit the altar wall a few times, followed by a sound of fingernails scratching the altar wall.

"Old Xiao! There are living creatures in these jars, do you want to open them and take a look?" I looked at the old man Xiao on the roof beams.

"What? Is there any living creature in the sealed altar? Don't move! I'll come down and take a look. Then, Old Man Xiao used the magic technique to land next to me from the beam of the house.

"Is there a light? The light here is not good, and some of them are not very clear. And last night's formation lost too much vitality, and now I can't use Tianyantong. Old man Xiao squinted his eyes and bent down to look at the jar on the ground.

"I've got a flashlight, I'll give it to you right away." Jiang Yimeng took out a small metal flashlight from the backpack behind his back.

"Wow! It's actually a Sirius, yes, it's a good thing. Those tomb robbers like this kind of school captain the most, the light is strong, the range is long, and it can also be waterproof and earthquake-resistant. You can also defend yourself in an emergency. Old man Xiao took the metal flashlight in Jiang Yimeng's hand and looked at it over and over, and then talked about the origin and function of the flashlight.

"Let's not talk about the flashlight, let's take a look at the jar!" I shouted anxiously.

Old man Xiao turned on the switch on the flashlight, and suddenly, a powerful white light shone on the pile of mysterious black altars.

Old Man Xiao looked at it carefully, then gasped and said, "Oh my God! Aren't these the altars that raise spiritual babies? The runes on this are all soul curses that gather spirits and dissolve evil spirits."

"Huh? it! I exclaimed, I hurriedly kicked the jar next to my foot open.

I don't know what kind of material these jars are made of, but they are very strong. The jar that I kicked off bounced a few times on the ground before it stopped.

"Hurry up and stay away from them, it seems that the spirit babies in here have not yet been born, but they will be born in advance by the anger of the living!" Old man Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Old Xiao! Are you saying that these altars are full of spirit infants? Haven't they been born yet? Why were those people in the Jiang family killed by the spirit infants? Could it be that there are other places in this village that have altars for raising evil spirits? "I heard Old Man Xiao say that the Spirit Infant Sha had not yet been born, and suddenly remembered that those people in the Jiang family had been killed by the Spirit Infant Sha, so I asked Old Man Xiao if there was such an evil thing in other places.
