After the innkeeper said this, his face changed again, and he mysteriously came to my ear.

"Do you know about the Living Fire Festival?"

I looked at the innkeeper with a blank expression.

As soon as the boss saw my expression, he knew that I hadn't heard of it, so he said that the fire sacrifice is to draw fire to the body of the sacrificed person and burn his skin inch by inch, but he can't die immediately, he must die after all the skin is burned, otherwise it can't be called a "living fire sacrifice".

However, it is extremely painful to sacrifice the dead with fire.

"Saying that the Dao master was burned to death in the water, I immediately thought of what the elders in the family said, and I guess that it was the resentful souls who were burned to death back then." The innkeeper said, and couldn't help but shake his head: "If it really is, how fierce is that evil." ”

After saying that, he looked at me with sympathy in his eyes, as if he thought that I would die a good death.

He looked at me like that, and it made me feel uncomfortable.

"Girl, maybe these are just rumors, after all, after so many years, no one can prove it, but you still have to be careful." The innkeeper saw that my face was not right, and thought that I had been frightened by his words, so he hurriedly reassured me a few words, and then made an excuse at random, and turned around and left my room.

As soon as he left, I frowned.

If it is really as he said, there are twenty-four pairs of boys and girls, then how can I alone give so many powerful ghosts who have been sacrificed by the "living fire"?

Tonight, I'm afraid I'll just die.

Thinking of this, my heart can't help but prune.

"Anzhi, are you okay? What did the boss tell you? Chu Chu estimated that he heard the footsteps of the innkeeper coming downstairs, so he came to see me.

Seeing my dejected expression, Chu Chu had already vaguely realized that this time the matter was very tricky.

"It's fine." After I finished speaking, I looked at Qingcen behind Chu Chu again.

Before, Qingcen seemed to have said when she had nightmares, "a lot of children" I think it's no coincidence, one "fire" and one "child" are right.

"Chu Chu, you go downstairs and order some food, I'm a little hungry." I glanced at Chu Chu and deliberately pulled her apart.

Chu Chu was stunned for a moment, he was so interrupted by me that he forgot what he asked before, nodded at me and went downstairs.

"Are you hungry? Okay, I'm going to buy something to eat. With that, she turned and went downstairs.

But Qingcen stood in front of the door and didn't dare to come in.

She was an extremely sensitive child, and she could immediately notice the slightest mistake in my eyes.

So, without waiting for me to ask anything, Qingcen shook his head desperately.

"Sister, it's not me, it's really not me, I'm not killing anyone." Qing Cen panicked, tears rolling down.

I hurriedly went over, dragged her into the house, closed the door, and began to comfort Qingcen.

"Qingcen, my sister doesn't suspect you of murder, my sister is just curious, why do you have those dreams?" I looked at Qingcen.

Qingcen shook his head: "I don't know either." ”

"You haven't been to the docks when you dreamed of those kids, have you?" I watched as she asked carefully.

Seeing Qingcen nodding, I asked again, "Then where did you dream of those children?" ”

"In the water at the docks." She said without hesitation.

"In the water at the docks? Is the dock you dreamed of the same as what we saw? I was still looking at her.

Qingcen nodded at me again: "It's exactly the same." ”

Hearing what Qing Cen said, my hand on Qing Cen's shoulder loosened slightly.

Those children had already died in the early Qing Dynasty, so they had a history of more than 200 years, and it was impossible for Qingcen to kill them, but why could Qingcen have such a dream?

I really can't understand this, Qingcen is like a child who has done something wrong, standing aside, his eyes are full of tears, and he doesn't dare to cry.

"Qingcen, that long death must have nothing to do with you, my sister is just curious, why do you have such a dream." I frowned at some point.

If you think about it day and dream at night, Qing Cen dreamed of the old way because she had seen the old way, and it made sense, but Qing Cen hadn't been to the dock before she dreamed of those children?

"Draw!" Qing Cen suddenly opened his mouth.

"What painting?" I asked her suspiciously.

"At the entrance of the yamen, isn't there a landscape painting of the pier in the announcement of the cessation of ticket sales?" Qingcen looked at me timidly and said in a low voice.

When she said this, I remembered that there was indeed a painting there, but I just glanced at it, and didn't look at it carefully.

"Sister, when I saw that painting, I thought it was so scary." Qing Cen said, and the small body trembled involuntarily.

I stretched out my hand and hugged Qingcen, thinking to myself, Qingcen, this kid shouldn't have the ability to predict death, right?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head, since she followed me, I just wanted her to be safe, and I didn't want her to be involved in these things.

"Sister, don't do it tonight." Qing Cen raised his head, and his face was already full of tears.

"Qingcen, don't be afraid, my sister will be fine." I pulled out my handkerchief, wiped the tears from Qingcen's cheeks, and pretended to be relaxed.

Qingcen reached out to hug me and snuggled tightly on my body: "I don't want my sister to die, I want to stay with my sister all the time." ”

Qingcen's words made my eyes hot, and Yun He said this many times when he was a child.

"Qingcen, don't worry, my sister will definitely be fine, and tomorrow morning, we will leave here and go to Fuzhou, okay?" I was comforting Qing Cen, and Chu Chu came up with food.

Seeing Qingcen crying, Chu Chu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"She wanted to go with me at night, and I didn't agree." After I finished speaking, I pulled Qingcen to sit down: "Come, eat something." ”

I tried to distract Chu Chu and Qing Cen with food, but it didn't work, and they were both obviously worried, but I didn't want to talk about it, so they didn't talk about it anymore.

After this lunch, the three of us rested in the house, and we were all silent.

Qing Cen and Chu Chu sat on the edge of the bed next to them, watching me draw rune paper.

I thought to myself, this evil spirit is only afraid that it will be more fierce than the evil ghost I encountered before, and I must prepare these runes in advance.

Even Jin Ling's pestle and demon whip were pinned to the side of his waist in advance, but his mind kept thinking about the burned old Taoist who was burned beyond recognition, and he inevitably had some palpitations and worries in his heart.

I don't know if my ending will be the same as that old Taoist.

"Anzhi, I'll go with you tonight." Chu Chu watched from the side for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak.

Even Qingcen, who was sitting next to her, looked at me directly, and that look seemed to want to go with her.
