"Bell...!"

"Bell...! Clang...! ”

The sound of the bell was getting closer and closer, the room was silent, Yu Xu and his parents didn't dare to come out, and they couldn't help but tremble; Shen Jiangtao, Miao Li, and Zhang Min looked at each other, looking at each other, he originally thought that this bell sound was just part of Zhangjiacun's rumors about evil ghosts, but he didn't expect it to really appear now.

"Really...... There are really evil ghosts......" Zhang Min's face turned pale with fright, and her whole body trembled, if it weren't for Miao Li supporting her, maybe she would have been spread on the ground by now.

Shen Jiangtao listened intently to the sound of the bell outside, and had some doubts in his heart, this bell sound dull and long, not a normal bell sound, after careful identification, he was sure that this should be the sound of the law bell.

Dharma bells are generally used by Taoist priests, Mr. Yin and Yang; The bell used by ordinary people is a small round or square ram inside, and the sound made after shaking is relatively crisp. The inside of the bell is a tongue-shaped impactor that runs through from the top, and the tongue-shaped impactor body is plucked by the hand on the top of the bell to hit the inside of the bell to make a sound, and the sound will appear dull and intonation.

The sound of the bell was very close, Shen Jiangtao stood up and quietly walked towards the courtyard, and the people in the house were all shocked and frightened when they saw his move.

Yu Xu's parents were even more frightened, but they couldn't stop it, because the bell had already arrived at the door of the house, and now if they shouted Shen Jiangtao, if they were heard by the evil ghosts, the bell would stop at the door of their house, it would be a big disaster.

Shen Jiangtao walked into the courtyard, leaned against the root of the wall next to the gate, and attached his right ear to the wall to listen carefully to the movement outside.

Clang~

Bell ~~Bell ~~~

The sound of the bell was already close at hand, Shen Jiangtao tried hard to listen, but in addition to the sound of the bell, he only heard a slight click, a slight click, it was obviously not the sound of footsteps, could it be that the evil ghost outside?

The sound of the bell came from far and near, as if it were floating in the air.

Shen Jiangtao leaned closer to the door more carefully, looked out through the gap, and the situation outside made him speechless, and saw a bloated and fat black shadow floating in the air, one left and one right stretched out two thumb-thick things and fell to the ground, and the bell rang out from this black shadow.

What is this? At this time, even Shen Jiangtao was stunned, he felt that his feet were a little trembling, but as a feng shui master, even if Shen Jiangtao saw this abnormal situation, he only guessed in his heart.

After the bell passed, Shen Jiangtao took a deep breath and opened the door boldly, the black shadow was supported by two thin things, and it had already floated to the corner of the alley.

Shen Jiangtao quickly took a look at the surrounding situation, reached out and took out a gossip mirror, threw it up quickly, and hung it on the eaves of Yu Xu's house.

Then Shen Jiangtao touched a small pebble from the ground, counted it three times silently in his heart, and threw it in the direction of the black shadow with a snort.

"Smack!" The stone made a crisp sound, Shen Jiangtao shrank behind the door, and immediately looked up at the gossip mirror, in the gossip mirror, the black shadow turned around, and Shen Jiangtao saw clearly that it was clearly a human face.

However, what appeared in the mirror was a strange one, it was a middle-aged man with a bloated body like a ball, he was almost suspended in the air, supported by two thin objects sticking out of his body.

The middle-aged man saw that there was no one behind him, his face showed a hint of panic, his body swayed rapidly, the bell rang muffled, and he disappeared on the street corner.

Shen Jiangtao quietly closed the door and returned to the house. He glanced at the people in the room who were still panicked, and smiled slightly: "You are all fooled, this bell sound is not the sound of evil ghosts at all, but someone is pretending to be a ghost in your village, I saw it clearly just now, it is a middle-aged man in his forties." ”

"Middle-aged?" Yu Xu's father shook his head: "Impossible, there have been bold peeks before, saying that the evil ghost is floating in the air, it must not be a human; There are also a few dirt roads in the village, and it is impossible for people to cross them without leaving footprints. ”

"Indeed, I saw the man floating in the air, supported only by two very thin sticks." Shen Jiangtao was still thinking about the middle-aged man's face just now, he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it there. So he affirmed, "I don't know how the man got it, but I'm sure it must be a person." ”

Shen Jiangtao's words made Miao Li and Zhang Min relax a little, although Yu Xu and his parents were puzzled, his father vigilantly lifted the corner of the curtain, peeked out, and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, it doesn't matter if it's a person or a ghost, as long as it passes by my door, it's fine." ”

The crisis passed, and the atmosphere in the room eased.

Yu Xu's parents looked at Shen Jiangtao, and they all felt that this young man was very bold, when the bell rang, the people in Zhangjia Village were frightened, and they didn't dare to come out, Shen Jiangtao was good, not only touched out, but also threw stones at the "evil ghost".

"I could see the man's face just now, it's very familiar, I should have seen it there." Shen Jiangtao added.

"What, not only are you sure that the evil ghost is human, but you also feel familiar......" Yu Xu's parents glanced at each other, both of them a little unconvinced Shen Jiangtao's words.

Yu Xu asked: "Shen Jiangtao, are you saying that someone in our village deliberately pretended to be a ghost to scare us, so what is his purpose in doing this?" Even if it's a prank, it can't last all these years, right? Besides, who is so bored to do this to a village? ”

"And." Yu Xu said with palpitations: "If the bell stops at the door of that house, the family will die on May 5, it has happened several times in this village, but it is not a rumor, I have seen it with my own eyes." ”

Shen Jiangtao shook his head: "What I can be sure of now is that the sound of the bell is indeed man-made; As for the dead, I need to go to that cemetery and see what is going on before I can say what I think. ”

"Cemetery, this ......" The three members of Yu Xu's family looked at each other, with fear on their faces.

After a long while, Yu Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Parents, Shen Jiangtao and I will go to the Dapo cemetery." Because of those gossips about our village, I was regarded as a monster at school, most people were reluctant to talk to me, and usually hid when they saw me, and it was rare for these three classmates to dare to come to our house, and I also wanted to take this opportunity to find out what was going on. ”

With the reputation of the ghost village on his back, Yu Xu's experience in school in the past few years has been very miserable, and he can only be alone when he participates in any activities, and he is pointed at at any time.

Several times, Yu Xu's parents saw him secretly crying, and when they heard Yu Xu's words, the two parents thought about it for a while, and finally agreed: "Okay, Xiao Xu, you take this president classmate to the cemetery, and he will help us take a look." If you can really be sure that there are no evil ghosts, Zhangjiacun will not need to be rumored to be a ghost village, and you will not have to live so tired. ”
