At this moment, what Tang Muzhou said to me, I couldn't hear a word clearly.

The air around me seemed to stand still at that moment.

All the people, all the voices, as if they didn't exist anymore.

The dark shadow slowly walked up to me, and I stood up to see his face, so black that I couldn't see any of its features.

My legs, as if they had been filled with lead, couldn't move at all.

The closer I got to me, the colder I felt, and those biting chills seemed to come from its side.

Finally, it stopped in front of me.

Its head leaned close to my ear, and I heard it speak softly to me......

……

I opened my eyes suddenly, and I saw Tang Muzhou looking at me with wide eyes like just now: "Tang Xiaofan, I haven't seen you for so many years, why did you become a goddess?" ”

I didn't say anything to him, just stood up and glanced over at the Blackwater Pool.

The goddess dressed in bells and whistles, with chicken feathers on her head, swaying back and forth. In her mouth, she hummed, sang and said, but she still couldn't understand a word.

Looking at the black water again, it was calm again.

There was not a single ripple in sight on the surface of the water, as if nothing had happened.

Shen Mengru didn't know how many times she had fainted, and the expressions of the people around her began to become numb.

I didn't step forward again, just took Tang Muzhou's hand and said, "Let's go back to the Dongshan Club, I feel that something is strange about this." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'll tell you when I get back!"

The goddess was still jumping and making trouble, and our cousins quietly avoided everyone and walked down the mountain.

Along the way, Tang Muzhou asked me what was going on.

"When I was talking to you just now, your two eyes looked at me directly, and you didn't speak, and you didn't move, I thought you were stupid and scared me to death."

After we got out of the big iron cable, the temperature suddenly rose a lot.

But at this moment, I felt like I was immersed in ice water, and I couldn't stop trembling when I thought of the scene just now.

Just now, under that big tree, I tried to summon spirits from the evil spirits in the black water, following the method my dad had used before. Unexpectedly, it actually came to my side and told me its own story:

The evil spirit was a man before his death, called Gu San.

A hundred years ago, he was a janitor of the An family.

Later, the An family lost something, checked and checked, and found something here in Gu San's house, and the An family locked up Gu San, no matter how severely tortured, Gu San did not admit that he stole the thing.

So, they locked Gu San in a water tower on the east mountain.

The water tower, I guess, should be the one in the middle of the Dongshan Villa.

It's just that at that time, it was still a barren mountain, and no one knew why a water tower was built here.

Gu San didn't admit it because he stole something, so the An family brought him to this place and made him suffer, so he had to admit that he had stolen.

In fact, as long as he admits it, going long is just a beating.

But this Gu San is a hard character, and he will never admit anything he has never done.

So, the An family threw him in the water tower on this east mountain. Just let one of his subordinates visit him every day, send him something to eat, and keep him alive.

Who knew that a month later, when the An family came to see it again, they found that Gu San had been starved to death.

And the subordinate who took care of Gu San was also gone.

In those days, human life was like ants.

The death of a gatekeeper in the house is no different from the death of a puppy.

So, Gu San's body was thrown into the black pool on the top of the mountain.

Speaking of this black pool, it was actually just a small pool before, with a depth of less than one meter. Later, Higashiyama suffered a small earthquake, and after the geological changes of this pool, it becomes very deep.

After Gu San's body was thrown in, it became strange here.

First of all, the tree next to the waterhole was originally just a small tree, and after Gu San's body was thrown into it, the trunk of the tree became more and more lush, and after a few years of hard work, it became five or six times thicker.

The reason for this is actually quite simple.

Gu San died and refused to admit that he had stolen something.

He had grievances, and after his death, those grievances spread in this black water. The thick trunk blocked all the sunlight, and the resentment of the ancient three nourished the tree again.

In the long run, he will be able to exist in physical form.

At that time, many people who came to the Black Water Pool saw the ghost of Gu San.

Gu San found them, in fact, he didn't want to harm these people, but wanted to explain to them that he didn't steal anything at all, but when those people saw Gu San's soul, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran.

After this matter spread in Dongshan, the An family invited a mage, and after doing a ritual, they locked these with iron locks.

Gu San was trapped here and couldn't get out.

The black pond has not seen sunlight for a long time, and after a long time, the water has turned black, and Gu San's body is below, and it has also been eaten by fish and insects, leaving only a skeleton.

When the spirit of the ancient three told me this, I was terrified to hear it.

Next, when Gu San was leaving, he paused and suddenly told me that the young master of the An family had been to this black water pool at all, and everything was hidden in other ways.

I hurriedly asked him what was going on, but Gu San didn't say much.

He just told me to go back to my aunt's funeral hall and look for it carefully. After saying this, the black figure left little by little.

The midday sun was shining all over my body, and I felt very hot.

My forehead began to sweat, I took out a tissue and wiped it, and I said to Tang Muzhou: "I suspect that Xiao Anning is still in the Dongshan Club." I'll look for it again, and maybe I'll save his life!" ”

When I returned to the Higashiyama Clubhouse, I saw the water tower in the center at a glance.

I didn't know if the huge cave bat was still in it, but after one look, I immediately thought of the scene when Gu San was locked up in it for a month.

In the middle of the day, I felt a chill in my back.

When I arrived at the mourning hall, everything had changed.

The white wisps that hung from the roof were all gone.

The photo of my aunt and grandmother is gone, and there are several tablets on the entire wall before, and I looked at the text on it, those should be the ancestors of the An family.

After searching in the lobby for a long time, I didn't see Xiao Anning.

Tang Muzhou asked me: "Xiaofan, why are you so sure that An Ning is in this place?" ”

I am very sure to say:

"Last night, when I went to chase the female thief, I clearly heard the child's cry, I didn't pay attention to it at the time, and now that I think about it, it is very likely that An Ning is crying!"
