"This is like dreaming, you must know that the ghosts and gods in the underworld can give dreams to the living, then vice versa, the thoughts of the living also have the power of ethereal wishes, and can in turn communicate with the ghosts and gods in the underworld."

Seeing that Liu Zhengyuan was puzzled, the old Taoist priest frowned, and changed another explanation.

"Maybe it doesn't have anything to do with you, but if you can't let go all the time, your heart is thinking about these things, thinking about it during the day, crying at night, and dreaming about it...... Ahem, that's the truth anyway. ”

"......" Liu Zhengyuan opened his mouth wide, and he was completely panicked in his heart, not knowing what to do.

Perhaps, just like passing by in the cemetery that you should not talk nonsense, you glanced at it that day, but it was lingering in your heart, thinking about it day and night, and you inexplicably got into trouble with those terrible things?

At this time, the old Taoist priest sighed, then reached out and took the cinnabar pen next to him, and quickly drew a rune paper-

"Childe, your problem is actually not big, it's just that the family was eaten alive at the beginning, and they couldn't be reincarnated, and their resentment was too heavy, so they naturally turned into a crazy ghost...... It's just that you can't find the enemy, and you just happened to give them a chance to stay in the world. ”

"I ...... Let them stay in the world? ”

"Yes, there are three steps to human death, and physical death is only the first step...... And only when everyone forgets a person, that person can really be regarded as completely dissipating from the world. ”

The old Taoist priest nodded and said in a serious tone.

"But Childe, what you think about day and night is equivalent to giving their grievances a bridge to communicate with the yang...... To be honest, you haven't had any accidents before, probably because they haven't had a climate yet, but now ......"

I don't know what I thought, the old Taoist priest shook his head again and sighed: "Alas, it's too late to return, not only you, Gongzi, but also the entire Kaifeng Mansion, Poor Dao found out a little late." ”

“……”

“……”

Can't get back? Late?

It's so serious...... I can't be hopeless, right?

Liu Zhengyuan didn't realize that he had unconsciously entered the rhythm of the other party. He just chuckled in his heart, and immediately an indescribable sense of fear swelled up, and he didn't have the slightest suspicion at all, but suddenly panicked-

A cold breath emerged from the soles of his feet, rushing up his spine and rushing straight all the way to the feeling of Tianlinggai.

It was like falling into an ice cellar, chilling all over, and the hairs stood on end, as if there was really a definite premonition of a catastrophe.

It's as if the previous nightmares were just an omen, and before they were penetrated, they just felt that it was a nightmare. But now, as soon as he was instructed, he was immediately blessed with a blessing in his heart, and immediately came to his senses, and for no reason he was convinced that it was indeed a bad omen.

I don't have nightmares these days, it's not that the situation is getting better, but that something bad is about to happen, and the bad omen is about to become a reality......

That is to say...... Now they've become climate? What can I do about this, Daoist, you must save me......" Liu Zhengyuan's voice was panicked, and he stretched out his hand as if he wanted to grab the old Taoist's arm.

"Don't worry, I'm here to save you, you put this talisman paper away, and then go home immediately, remember every word I say! - It's not just your own life, it's your family's life! ”

The old Taoist priest broke free of the other party's hand lightly, his eyes were sharp in an instant, and his tone suddenly became extremely stern.

“……！！”

This young man's heart sank, and he hurriedly concentrated his attention and listened to every word of the old Taoist priest in front of him with unprecedented attention.

"This talisman paper can keep you safe and get you back to your home safely, but then it's the point! Tonight is the second seven of that family, and they will surely come looking for you, for they have missed the first seven......"

"When you go home, you must remember to have someone spread a layer on the ground with grass and wood ashes, and then find a few empty houses, in which you can buy a table of incense, candles, wine and food, and then find a few rooms, use a bamboo pole, and a sticker money every foot, and stand on the doorstep steps or insert it under the eaves, and the ghost will enter the ......house when he sees this."

"You can also use a clay pot with a hard-boiled egg and place it in the corner of the house to keep the ghost in the house a little longer. No one else should go near these houses, but must stay away until the fifth watch ......"

- Is this a way to attract the attention of the ghosts and divert the tiger from the mountain?

Liu Zhengyuan tried his best to remember these words in his heart, but the old Taoist priest didn't give him much chance to digest them, and just said them in one breath.

He was panicked and anxious, and his mind was in a state of confusion, and he always felt that he had memorized it completely, but he felt that he had not memorized much. No matter how hard I try to repeat some of the words in my mind to deepen my memory, the other part seems to have faded away.

Liu Zhengyuan suddenly panicked completely, after all, he had never had any talent that he had never forgotten before, and now in the face of such an urgent matter, under the panic in his heart, he naturally lost his level.

He was about to open his mouth and ask the old Taoist priest to say it again.

But at this time, the old Taoist priest said again very seriously-

"And these things must be done before midnight, and after midnight there must be no one to go outside, but must all hide in their own rooms, close the doors and windows, and preferably sprinkle a circle of rooster blood in front of the door and by the window, and make no noise!"

"Lunch...... Midnight? Slightly stunned, Liu Zhengyuan looked up at the sky, only to see that a crescent moon had appeared in the night sky, dotted with stars, and the stars arched over the moon.

It's still early, after all, it's just nightfall.

But if you want to complete the things that the Taoist chief just said, it will also take a certain amount of time, incense candles, paper money, hard-boiled eggs, and plant ash...... Some are easy to do, while others are a bit troublesome because they are unlucky.

How can ordinary people always have these taboo things in their homes? Isn't this cursing yourself?

Moreover, from this divergent thinking, Liu Zhengyuan suddenly found that the biggest trouble was how to convince his father...... Regardless of whether it can be successful or not, this time alone may not be enough at all!

"That...... The Taoist chief ...... "This boy brother completely lost his proportion, his face turned pale, and his eyes looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him in horror, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "Can you ...... Can you please ......?"

"Poor Dao knows what you want to say, but I really can't help it...... old Taoist priest shook his head lightly and looked at the crooked crescent moon in the sky, "The moon branch is chongyao, a sign of bad luck." Tonight, the moon is broken like a dead root and rotten wood, and it can't afford to be born, and it hurts even more when it hurts. ”

"What...... What do you mean? Dao Chief? Liu Zhengyuan didn't understand it at all, but this didn't prevent him from being even more afraid, because he heard the solemnity in the old Taoist's tone.

"Poor Dao means that tonight when the moon is broken, it is the big murderer, even the immortals and Buddhas have to close their eyes......" The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly, "No matter how fierce the ghost entangled in you is, it will only become a climate tonight, but those things that ate people before are really rampant!" ”

Speaking of which, his face was also a little ugly-

"I'm afraid that tonight, I don't know how many people in this Kaifeng Mansion are going to suffer!"

Hearing him sigh like this, Liu Zhengyuan was slightly stunned, and then there was a buzz in his head, and he reacted with some hindsight.

What haunts him is the dead Wang Yuanwai's family, but how did Wang Yuanwai's family die?

The rumors of evil ghosts eating people didn't just come out today...... I'm afraid that some terrible ghosts have been dormant in this city early? And listening to the words of the sermon, they all seem to be pouring out of their nests tonight?

Next, the old Taoist priest repeated his previous words again, and then hurriedly packed up his stall and left.

Liu Zhengyuan stood in place with the talisman paper, and only came back to his senses after a while, but found that the old Taoist priest not only did not collect money, but also did not even leave a famous title, and it was difficult to find it even if he wanted to find it after that.

This made him even more convinced that this was a master of morality, not some charlatan's fishing method.

Although he was still full of doubts, he looked up at the sky and still felt that he was in a hurry and had to go back immediately! Do everything you can to convince your parents at home!

As for a few servants, they were also full of panic, after all, Liu Zhengyuan, a son and brother who can be said to be a scholar, believed it, and where could their vision go.

Sitting in the carriage, I turned around and hurried to go home.

It's just that in the carriage, Liu Zhengyuan was still desperately racking his brains, using his brains, and thinking hard about what words to use when he returned to the house later, when he suddenly found that the carriage stopped without warning.

Is it there?

He subconsciously probed out, and in the next moment, the whole person seemed to be drenched with a basin of cold water on his head, and even his heart was cold in the winter.

As far as the eye can see, the situation on the road is in full view, and I see that the streets and alleys are empty in the dark and dim. The doors and windows of every house were closed, except for the empty door of a mansion next to it, and white paper lanterns hung faintly and fluttering.

The yin wind blew the white paper money and fell to the ground, and there was a faint mournful cry from inside, and there was an indescribable sense of horror.

Liu Zhengyuan's face changed in an instant, and he gasped, here...... Isn't this the scene where I came to see the excitement that day? This is where the family outside the king is located!

How did you end up here for no apparent reason? You must know that this street is far from the road you just walked! How could the carriage possibly stop here?! And their own servants, where did they all go?!

Suddenly lowered the curtain and retracted into the carriage, Liu Zhengyuan's face was red and white, his eyes were desperate, and his lips trembled with fear.

He was chilled, and felt a chill spread from his bones, after all, it was the first time he had encountered such a terrible and bizarre thing so directly, and he was still alone in it, and all of a sudden he was naturally frightened by any guts.

He opened his mouth to shout for help, but he didn't dare, because he always felt that this place was no longer human, and he had strayed into a supernatural world, and he might be the only living person left around......

If he opened his mouth to shout, he might attract something, and he suspected that there were ghosts everywhere outside, and he was so frightened that he trembled.

But this is not a solution, he always feels that the mourning and crying faintly coming from outside seems to be getting louder and louder, and it is becoming clearer and clearer, as if it is coming from the mourning hall in the Wang's outer mansion, and the mourners are slowly coming out, crying all the way.

Liu Zhengyuan's whole body stiffened, he didn't dare to listen, but he couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen.

He heard the sound of weeping getting louder and louder, and the sound of chaotic footsteps, as if he had stepped out of the king's outer mansion and came straight in the direction of his carriage.

Step by step...... One, two, three...... I don't know how many there are......

And then...... And then it was gone.

It was as if the footsteps of many people had suddenly stopped when they came to his carriage, and even the cries disappeared at once.

The silence for a moment, the sound of a falling needle, actually made his eardrums tingle faintly.

But his face became more and more pale, and he couldn't help but sketch an imaginary picture in his mind. Did the things outside surround him, staring at his carriage with expressionless faces......
