Sister-in-law Wu wanted to keep us for dinner, but we refused. I went to the store and bought some bread to eat, but it was already dark. Gao Liang and I got on a motorcycle, followed the direction of Sister-in-law Wu's guidance, and rushed to the tomb.

The tomb of Wujiabaozi is a mile or two outside the village, park the car on the side of the road, walk over from the fork in the road, and walk a short distance along the dirt road to the mountain, you will see a tomb bag, erecting large and small stone monuments.

Under the shadows of the trees in the dark night, these tombstones were white by the moonlight, and they were terrible.

I couldn't help but look at the human ebony owl and asked softly:

"Do you feel anything?"

Gao Liang shook his head:

"There was no discomfort except panic. What's the matter? Go back or wait? ”

According to Wu's sister-in-law, the area of this tomb is not small, in addition to Wu's fort, the people of Zhao's fort next to it are also buried in this tomb. It is said that the dead tree is in the cemetery of Zhaojiabaozi. I looked at the tombstones nearby, and they were all surnamed "Wu", so I said to Gao Liang:

"Let's go inside and see."

Gao Liang opened the way in front, and I followed a few more steps behind. Sister-in-law Wu didn't lie to us, there were a few big trees in front of us that died.

I leaned in and turned on my phone's flashlight to check.

The death of these trees is indeed very strange, the trees in the tomb are related to feng shui, and people who know a little bit will not come to cut down or destroy the trees in the tomb land, but these trees in front of them are definitely not natural deaths.

If it dies naturally, it should be that the leaves turn yellow and fall off first, and then reach the branches. It's early autumn and the leaves of many trees are starting to turn yellow. These trees are no exception, but although the leaves are yellow, they are not dry and full of moisture. However, the branches were dry as if they had been roasted, and a thin branch was selected and gently folded, and it snapped and broke in response.

I crouched down again and examined the ground, and the soil under the dead trees was the same as the surroundings, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

The experience is too shallow to know how these trees died, but even Gao Liang, who has no brains, saw the problem and said:

"These trees are dying strangely......"

I nodded, and was about to praise him twice, when the kid's next words began to be out of tune again:

"Huh? Brother Biao, do you think there can be a zombie or something popping out of this graveyard? ”

At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, holding the flashlights that came with two mobile phones, he ran to the cemetery to hang around. I'm still looking forward to seeing zombies! Gao Liang can be regarded as the first person in ancient times.

"Are you stupid? How many years has cremation been there? Also zombies? …… The ashes pop out of the graveyard and raise your face! ”

Gao Liang listened to me count him, and he was not annoyed, and nodded:

"You have a point, cremation is good, and it reduces a harmful monster."

I ignored him and examined the dead trees twice, and found that the dead trees were located right around a grave bag.

It was very dark, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a new grave or an old grave, but the surrounding area was relatively clean, and there were traces of just worshipping in front of the tombstone, and the traces of burnt paper were clearly visible.

I walked over to the tombstone to check on the ashes, which must have been burned in the past two days. I guess someone found out about the dead trees during the day, so they swept the graves.

I couldn't be sure if the owner of the tomb was causing trouble, but it must have something to do with him, so I walked up to the tombstone, put my hands together and whispered:

"Don't blame it."

Then he raised his flashlight and shone it at the stele. The flashlight flashed, and I couldn't help but gasp!

This should be a tomb for a long time, the stele was invaded by wind and rain, full of the imprint of the years, but because someone had just swept the tomb, the stele was clean and clean, and the handwriting was still legible.

At a glance, I saw the word "Zhao Yuan"!

These two words appear in the place where the payment is made. I took a cursory look at the text on the stele, and judging from the title of "Xian Kaoyan", this is a joint burial tomb, and the parents of Zhao Yuan are lying inside.

Zhao Yuan and Huang Jian are ghosts at the same time, Huang Jian once said that he has been a Lizheng in Jiqing City for more than a hundred years, so the owner of this tomb must be at least a person from nearly two hundred years ago......

So far, I can only think about the worst, if Zhao Yuan's parents are making trouble, Gao Liang and I may have to deal with two ghosts with more than 200 years of Taoism tonight......

Wait a minute...... There's also a hell of a mess! The missing ghost is Zhao Yuan!

I didn't know how to count it, so I quickly shouted highlight:

"Gao Liang, it's not good, we have to withdraw quickly."

Gao Liang leaned over and asked:

"What's wrong? Who's buried here? Scares you like that? ”

I suspect that Zhao Yuan's disappearance is also related to the anomaly that appeared in front of his parents' grave, and for the sake of now, it is best to inform Huang Jian of the matter first and see how to deal with it.

However, by the time I reacted, it was too late to escape.

A gust of wind blew, Gao Liang and I frowned, and a ghost floated not far away. I know this ghost, it is the missing Zhao Yuan.

Because of his dereliction of duty, strange phenomena around Dayu County occurred frequently, and he was nowhere to be found. Now that he's here, even though I'm a half-ghost, I can't leave it alone. If you don't have to run, let's get things done!

Nodding at Gao Liang, Gao Liang quickly took out the "Apocalypse Talisman" I drew for him from his arms and put it on his chest. While he was busy, I greeted Zhao Yuan:

"You're Zhao Yuan, right? I am Zhou Dabiao, a person from Jiqing City, and I want to ask you about something! ”

Zhao Yuan glanced at me, I had met him once, but he obviously didn't recognize me, his eyes were full of confusion.

Wrong! It's not that I didn't recognize my confusion, but a deeper confusion, a confusion about the despair of life.

Hearing my question, he nodded:

"It's still here...... But it's only a yin person, don't you think it's too underestimating me? ”

As he spoke, he floated past me and Gao Liang, sat down in front of the tombstone, gently wiped the tombstone with his hand, and said:

"These juniors always have a little conscience and know how to sweep the graves of their ancestors, but what's the use of this?"

I remember the first time I met Zhao Yuan, although he was dressed very casually, he was definitely carefully cared for, and I felt that this ghost was quite "trendy" at the time.

Looking at him today, he is still dressed like that, but Qi Bangs's broken hair is already unkempt, and his clothes are twisted and crooked, which is by no means a casual "trendy" style, but a decadent body full of decadence.

I don't know what happened to him, but in the face of such a ghost, I have a faint sense of foreboding in my heart:

"Yes, many people are looking for you now, you are a ghost, you disappeared for so long for no reason, causing chaos in the jurisdiction, you really shouldn't be."

As if he hadn't heard me, Zhao Yuan turned his back to me, looked at the tombstone and muttered:

"You're a Yin person, do you know what a knife and saw hell is?"

I was stunned by this question, how did I get into hell with knives and saws? Speaking of which, I'm really not qualified to be a yin person, I've only heard of the eighteenth layer of hell, and I really don't know what the knife and saw hell is.

Zhao Yuan didn't wait for me to answer, and continued to talk to himself:

"Whoever cuts corners, deceives superiors and subordinates, abducts women and children, buys and sells unjustly, and dies in hell with knives and saws. Punished with an axe and saw. In hell, except for clothing, large characters are tied to wooden stakes and sawn from the crotch to the head, and so on and so on. ”

His depiction was so bloody and violent, I couldn't help frowning, and thought to myself, what does this kid mean by telling me such a restrictive thing? Tell me not to do business with a clear conscience? I'm not in business either, so it's useless to remind me of this.

That's right, this matter is over, I can go back and run the "Tingchao" that Xiang Wanrou gave me. Well, when the time comes, I will definitely trade fairly, and Tong Su will not be bullied.

Zhao Yuan turned around with a smile on his face:

"Do you know where this is?"

No, it's not a smile, it's a smirk, it's a smile-like expression squeezed out of his face, blue light envelops his face, and a row of white Sensen's teeth are bared, making this smile indescribably weird and terrifying.

Seeing that his face was not good, I pulled Gao Liang and took a step back, Gao Liang shook off my hand, and instead took a step forward, pointed at Zhao Yuan and said:

"You're Zhao Yuan? This is Dayu County, it's the territory you should manage, you didn't manage it well, now let's take care of it, what are you doing with those useless things? What do you want? Say! ”

I was worried that Gao Liang would suffer, so I hurriedly took out a prayer talisman from my arms, stepped forward, patted him on him, and pulled him:

"You're not a ghost, stand back, I'll talk to him."

After saying that, he took another step forward and stood in front of him.

Zhao Yuan laughed, this laughter was quite normal, and his tone was unhurried:

"Hehe, how many years have you lived? Do you know that two hundred years ago, it was a big town? There is a large bazaar, salt, tea and silk, and merchants gather. The Zhao family is the eldest surname here, and their patriarch is shrewd and capable, and soon monopolized the business here......"

I saw him talking to himself, stretched out his hand and touched a prayer talisman, turned his back to his hand, and pasted one for himself, the first few times he was too hasty, he didn't have time to arm himself for protection, and he can't make the same mistake again today.

In case this Zhao Yuan doesn't agree with us, there will be at least a guarantee.
