I was a little surprised, could it be that Weiyang would be a bad thing, so I asked my grandfather why? But my grandfather said that this matter should not be explained, and I will know about it then.

Before leaving, he was not sent off.

She had already packed the package for me, but when I opened it, I found that the jade flute was also in the package. Seeing that Weiyang's expression was a little strange, I said, you don't have to carry this jade flute. However, Weiyang said that this jade flute is a cold thing, with aura, and if the mind is disturbed, it can calm the mind.

I didn't even know it had this effect, but I glanced at my grandfather, but he nodded. I always feel that the atmosphere of this send-off is a little weird.

Traveling alone, the road is very boring.

After passing the Shanhaiguan Pass, there are large and small villages there. Nowadays, all the adults in the village go out of the village to make a living, and most of the people in the village are only children and the elderly.

My grandfather didn't say what would happen after I got here, so I had to find a nearby village and ask the locals if there were any strange things happening in the village recently.

The old lady in the village told me that every family in the village worships the Baojia Immortal, and there is the blessing of the Changbai Mountain Lingying Palace Fairy, what strange things can happen?

I know that most of them are foxes, yellows, whites, willows, and ashes, and there are pros and cons to worship these things, and sometimes they can indeed protect their health, and when they collide with these things, these things will also retaliate. However, I have never heard of the fairy of the Lingying Palace of Changbai Mountain in the mouth of this old lady.

I asked the old lady about the fairy of Lingying Palace. But the old lady said that when you don't want to inquire about the fairy, if the fairy hears it, there will be things like gouging out your eyes and cutting off your tongue.

"Ah, fairies are so terrible?" I asked.

"Stop, you young man, why don't you speak lightly. Let's go, really, if I meet you today, count me unlucky, and I have to burn incense with the fairy to make amends when I go back! ”

After saying that, the old lady hurried home and closed the door.

There are small villages in the vicinity, and there is no place to live, and it is getting late, so I wanted to find a place to spend the night, but unexpectedly, a sentence offended the old lady. I had no choice but to continue to wander around and find another place, but after the sun went down, in this village, every house was closed, and I went to knock on the door, but no one answered.

In some of the rooms, the lights were still on, but as soon as I passed, the lights went out.

In rural areas, people often go to bed early at night, but it is only 7 o'clock in the afternoon, so it is not so early. I didn't go until I was in this village, near the mountain, that I saw a family that wasn't closed. In that courtyard, there was an old lady who seemed to be grinding beans. I walked over and asked, "Grandma, why are the lights in the village gone out when the sun has just set?" ”

The old lady stopped the small stone mill in her hand and looked up at me, her appearance was a little strange, especially a pair of eyes, small as black beans.

"It's not been peaceful in the village lately, everyone goes to bed early, and I'm afraid that there will be dirty things at night."

"Aren't you afraid?"

The old lady smiled weirdly and said, "I'm old, and I'm dead, what's there to be afraid of?" As she spoke, I saw a dozen strange masks on the wall over there. This is something used by the god of the horse fairy jump, it turns out that this old lady is actually a disciple of the horse, and she is the goddess of this village, no wonder she is not afraid.

Seeing this, I sat down and asked her, what has happened in the village lately? Isn't it blessed by the Baojia Immortal, and blessed by the Lingying Palace Fairy?

At this time, the old lady stopped the stone grinding, looked up at me, her expression was a little strange, she said: "I heard that this is going to change, and the fox yellow and white willow gray also have to take care of their own lives, what does the life and death of these old people and children have to do with them?" ”

"What about the Lingying Palace Fairy?" I asked again.

"The fairy of Lingying Palace travels all over the world, busy choosing a son-in-law for herself, and is not in Changbai Mountain outside the gate, how can she protect these ordinary people?" The old lady asked rhetorically.

"The fairy of Lingying Palace chooses a son-in-law, this thing is really strange enough." I said.

The old lady looked at me again and said, "Young man, I see that you have a good temperament and good looks, why don't you go to Changbai Mountain and try it!" ”

The old woman laughed. I said.

Then the old lady looked out and said, "Young man, I see that you have nowhere to stay. If you don't dislike it, you can rest with me for the night. Ming'er left early in the morning, and the mountain was not peaceful, so as not to lose his life. ”

I was worried that I had nowhere to stay, but I didn't expect this old lady to offer to let me stay, and I immediately thanked me.

Wait until you get into the house.

I found out that there were these three children in another side room next to it.

Two girls, a boy, they were huddled in the bed, looking at me as if they were scared, afraid to say anything. The old lady put me in the room opposite, and she took me a bowl of millet porridge and said, "Young man, drink some porridge, and you should rest early." I got to take a look outside, the night in this mountain is not very peaceful, if any family of babies fall outside, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious. ”

I asked who the three children were on the other side, and the old lady said that they were her three grandchildren.

I nodded.

The door to the upper house squeaked, was closed from the outside, and locked.

I went to the house and lay down, and I felt that there was something wrong with this old lady. However, with her house, she naturally couldn't trap me, so I went to the side room to lie down and rest.

Through the crack in the door, I saw that the old lady had really gone out.

Then, when I heard the children in the house crying, I didn't dare to cry out loud.

Seeing this, I immediately got up and pushed open the door of the house over there, and the children were so frightened that they covered the quilt and did not dare to show their heads. I whispered, "It's me, why are you crying?" ”

It seemed that it was me, and the three little children came out of the covers.

One of them, the slightly older girl, shivering, pointed to the barrel beside the bed.

I glanced at it, and I couldn't help but be shocked to find that the barrel was full of white bones. There were skeletons, hands and feet, and at first glance they were all children's bones.

No wonder these kids are scared like this. At that time, I felt that there was something wrong with the small stone mill, and at this time, I glanced into the courtyard outside, and this time I saw clearly what kind of beans were grinding in the stone mill, and it was clearly a bloody thing. Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a chill.

The image of this old lady, echoing the image of most rural goddesses, looks weird, I thought she was a disciple, but I didn't expect that she still eats human flesh, it seems that she is definitely not a person.

Then I asked the three little children, how could they be kept here?

The older girl said that they had gone to the mountains during the day yesterday and had gotten lost. Later, I met this gray grandmother, she said that she knew the way back to the village, and who knows, so she brought them here and locked them up.

I asked, are they from this village?

The three of them shook their heads and cried with a whimper, saying that they would never dare to sneak away into the mountains to play again......

The old lady called herself a gray grandmother, and she was afraid that she was the gray fairy in the fox yellow and white willow ash, that is, the rat essence. No wonder, her eyes look like black beans, and her face doesn't look like a human face.

Thinking of this, I said to the three little children, "Do not be afraid, for you three will go and hide in my house, and I will wait here for the gray grandmother." ”

"Big brother, aren't you afraid of her?" The older girl asked.

"It's okay, I'm here to deal with her, and when the time comes, I will definitely find a way to save you." With that, I told the three children to hide in the room where I had just stayed. Then, he asked for a hair for each of them, took a paper figure, glued the hair to the paper figure, and covered it in the quilt.

I still learned some of this paper figure technique from Daochang Li. The rats are blind, and the rats mainly feel the breath, so it is enough to deceive the gray old lady.

After making the paper figurine, I put it away, and I saw a wardrobe next to it, so I went there and squatted down. In this small courtyard, there are things used by the disciples of the horse, and I estimate that this old lady has harmed which of the disciples of the horse, and she pretends to be a disciple of the horse, and harms people here.

About half an hour later, I heard the sound of the fence door being opened. Then, I heard the gray old lady whisper: "Sister Huang, Brother Liu, I see that the young man who was locked in the house by me may be called Lin Yi's kid." He wiped out the first line of our gray family over there in the Old Boundary Ridge, there are dozens of them, and asked Sister Huang and Brother Liu to help get rid of this Lin Yi together! ”

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but be stunned, this gray old lady was really a rat essence. And our Laojieling Village, that group of rat essences who are confusing people with merit soup is also a member of the gray family outside the Northeast Pass.

After the gray old lady finished speaking, a male voice said: "Gray grandmother, don't worry, our fox yellow and white willow gray is a family, sharing the incense of Taiyin Temple, the enemy of your gray family is naturally also the enemy of my second family of yellow willow!" ”

I told the three children that when I heard a movement at the door, I turned over and made some noise.

As soon as you enter the house.

The old gray lady walked up to my door, listened into the room, and made a silent gesture to the other two.

Then, she took the two of them to the house here and whispered, "Sister Huang, Brother Liu, you two are doing things for my gray family today, so naturally you can't be treated badly." Let's wait for the kid surnamed Lin to sleep well before we start, so that he will be caught off guard. In this room, how many are there tender, try them first? ”
