"At night, all the people in our village have rested early, and the night light is just for the convenience of passers-by, not for you to stay overnight, but since you are here, there is an empty room opposite, you go to rest, and leave here early tomorrow morning." The old lady smiled slightly, showed her withered fingers, and pointed to the locked room opposite.

After saying that, he took out a rusty key and put it in the master's hand, turned around and closed the door.

"Master, are we really going to sleep in the empty village of this line?" My voice trembled and I whispered.

"If you don't stay here, are you going to walk at night? It's not safe to walk at night, and if you don't want to die, just stay here. The master took the key, drifted to the locked room, and looked at the rusty lock in front of him, which had not been opened for many years, and before the key could be inserted, the lock fell to the ground with a thud, and instantly turned into iron powder.

The master was not frightened, but gently pushed it away, and with a squeak, the dust inside swarmed for a while, choking and coughing, and we couldn't see what was in front of us at all.

I closed my eyes, I was not happy, my face was unremitting, and I said: "Master, you see, I don't know how long I haven't lived here, so much dust, so choking, how to live?" Lao Jiang also made a sound on the side, and he also felt that this place was not like a place for normal people to stay.

"You two go to the creek to fetch some water, clean up this place, and grieve here today, and we'll hurry tomorrow morning." After the master finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the dust.

I looked at Lao Jiang behind me helplessly, only to see that his hands kept patting the dust on his body, and his face was full of gloom, I walked to his side, took his hand, walked through a panicked field, and walked along a path, everywhere was black and oppressive, and the silence was terrifying. Suddenly, we heard the sound of gurgling water, and we suddenly became enlightened.

Finally walked to the river, the moonlight was quiet, it was not easy to have such a soft moonlight on this eerie night. We hurried forward, and the sound of our footsteps ticking was particularly charming.

When we walked to the river, except for a puddle of lake water illuminated by the moonlight, the surroundings were pitch black, and the cold sea breeze blew on people, making us shiver, I don't know if we were wearing too little. Or this night is such a wind and frost, cold and piercing, to put it bluntly, we can't stand the sea breeze of this gloomy night.

Lao Jiang bent down, ready to fetch water, and said with a dazzling eye, "People go to high places, water goes to low places, this is nature, but we are thinking of walking downstream, the sea breeze blows from the water, naturally it is cold and scary, and the ice is biting."

I shook my head, I didn't know what he was trying to say, along the way I felt the light all around, only a puddle of lake water next to it was quiet and terrible, I was engrossed in looking at this stagnant water, all my body and mind were thrown here, what the master had explained before, had all been thrown out of the clouds.

All of a sudden, I saw a figure jumping into the water with a thud, and I kept shouting, "Someone has jumped into the water?" I didn't hear Lao Jiang's response, so I relieved myself and looked at Lao Jiang on the side and said, "Someone has jumped into the water, hurry, let's go save him."

I saw Lao Jiang slowly looking at me, with a panicked look, and hurriedly grabbed my hand, at this time, my eyes were red, as if I had fallen into an evil spirit, kept jumping up and down, and ran towards the river with all my might, Lao Jiang grabbed me hard, grinned and dragged me to the shore, and immediately stretched out his hand to knock me unconscious.

I don't know how long it took, I suddenly felt a slight pain in my neck, so I slowly sat up, raised my hand and touched my neck, some blood flowed out, sticky, and it seemed to be itchy.

I looked at the blood in my hands, thought about what had just happened, and said angrily, "What are you doing? Why is it so hard? You see it's all bleeding. ”

At first glance, Lao Jiang's face was calm, looking at the sea in the distance, and he didn't pay attention to my words.

I stood up angrily, walked to his side, and suddenly felt him standing on the edge of the river with a cold body, and when I touched his nostrils, it seemed that only a trace of gasping was left, and if it were not for perseverance, I am afraid that I would not have persevered until now.

I used all my strength, slowly put Lao Jiang on the ground, thinking about the master's teachings, picked up the rice paper and wrapped it around his body, took out the yellow rune paper, pasted it on his body, and kept waving it on the paper with the sword pen, that little bit of blood dripped on the rice paper, and suddenly lit up the surroundings like a bonfire, for a while, Lao Jiang's whole body seemed to be much gentler, with a little temperature, which made me slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with you? How so? Did you see something too? What about something unusual? I looked at him with a puzzled expression, and when I saw his terrifying expression, my heart kept beating the drum. Seeing his frightened expression, I guessed that he must have seen the dirty thing that the master said.

"As you just said, I saw a woman jump into the water, and when I tried to go and rescue her, all of a sudden my body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move, completely out of my control, and I felt out of breath, as if something was blocking my throat, and my eyes were red."

Lao Jiang got up slowly, looked at the quiet lake in the distance, and said calmly.

"It's okay now, you rest, luck dantian, no distractions." After speaking, I walked forward, and you hurriedly carried a bucket of water, and helped Lao Jiang stumble towards the village in front.

Along the way, it feels like the road is so far, the road that we have walked before seems to be gone, leaving only this stone road, we have been walking along the road, and suddenly heard a heart-rending shout, this sound is deafening, piercing, like a feeling of liver and intestines.

I hurriedly hugged Lao Jiang, covered my ears, and panicked for a while. Frightened, I hurriedly closed my eyes and didn't dare to look at the surrounding scene, and suddenly, someone gently patted me on the shoulder, and I hurriedly jumped "Who!" Go away. ”

"What's wrong with you?" A familiar voice came, and it was obvious that it was the master's voice, maybe we had been out for too long, and the master was worried, so we came out to look for it.

I turned my head slowly, and saw the bamboo basket in the master's hand, and saw that there were also piles of rune paper and some snacks in it, as if I wanted to worship someone, I looked at him with a series of doubts, and kept muttering in my heart, where did the master go? How can there be any such stuff here?

When the master saw that I was back to normal, he didn't say anything, just put his hand on his chest, and muttered something in his mouth, as if it was some incantation, and suddenly felt that he was cold, and he couldn't help but tremble, and slowly stopped.
