I sat in the restaurant, slowly eating a large number of favorite dishes in front of me, and I didn't look at the restless night chill across from me. In the end, Ye Liang couldn't beat my patience, so he opened his mouth first: "Xiao Zhang, is this dish still suitable for your taste?" ”

I didn't say a word, continued to eat, a sneer tugged at the corner of my mouth, and thought: I know that there is no free lunch in the world.

After a long time, after eating the last bite of the dish, I burped with satisfaction before putting down the chopsticks. Looking at Ye Liang, I sarcastically said: "Young Master, have you ever heard of a sentence - nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." ”

Everyone in the school knows that Yeliang is the son of the principal, and he is flattered everywhere he goes. At this moment, listening to my words, often with an arrogant face a little distorted. Ye Liang looked at me through gritted teeth, his fists clenched and his knuckles white. This is probably the first time in his history that he pulled down his face to beg someone, and he was still deflated. But he didn't make any trouble, presumably things were also a little troublesome, and he had to ask me, thinking like this, my heart was dark.

Yeliang tried to calm down, looked at me coldly and said, "Don't think that I have something to ask you, you can be so rude." I didn't answer, but raised my eyebrows and motioned for him to continue. Ye Liang swallowed his saliva, his voice trembled a little, and said, "I met a ghost." ”

My curiosity was instantly aroused, and at my urging, Ye Liang began to recount his experience:

A week ago, he and his friends were having a late-night snack at a roadside barbecue stand. Because I was happy, I couldn't help but drink a few more glasses. Later, Ye Liang got drunk, and there was a sense of powerlessness, and then I felt as if the whole person was floating in the sky.

After a long time, he heard someone ask him, "Why don't you come home so late?" ”

Ye Liang found himself lying on a stone table, his friend was missing, and the other party only heard his voice and did not see him. He looked up and asked, "Who are you?" Why not come out? And where did my friend go? ”

"Alas, it's not good to know too much, so go back where you came from." A voice floated over, as if it were coming from underground. Yeliang felt scared, so he wanted to get up and leave, but he was so drunk that he couldn't get up at all.

When I woke up the next morning, I found myself lying next to a grave.

Ye Liang, who was pale, grabbed my hand, and I patted his hand to comfort: "Don't worry, eat people with short mouths, I will definitely help you in this matter, but I need something from you." ”

Armed with something I had asked for from Ye Liang, I lay on my bed in the dormitory and thought about it. Thinking back to the cool look on the night, I was almost sure that he was telling the truth. Because seeing is believing, I still have some doubts.

For example, why can't I perceive the "ghost qi" on Ye Liang's body, but there is a trace of "dead qi", is it my delusion? If a normal person encounters a ghost, he will be more or less stained with some "ghost energy", but there is no such thing as Yeliang's body. Could it be that there is something with aura on his body that covers the ghost's aura?

Glancing at the wall clock on the wall, I grabbed what I had prepared and went to the grove on campus. No one would have thought that this deserted grove was the entrance and exit for the evil spirits.

At 12 o'clock in the night, on the path in the woods, I lit paper money, and the flickering light of the fire illuminated my cheeks. I pierced my index finger with a steel needle, dripping blood on the burning paper money, closed my eyes and said silently: "Little ghost listens to orders, uses blood as the mediator, uses money to channel, come quickly, come quickly......"

As I read it a second time, a gust of wind whistled and swirled in front of me. I slowly opened my eyes, and the warm yellow flame that had been burning paper money turned an eerie green. A smile tugged at the corners of my mouth, and I knew I had succeeded.

"Little ghost, since you're here, why don't you show up quickly." I shouted into the empty air.

As soon as the words fell, a black mist quickly appeared, and a hoarse voice came out of the black mist: "What are you looking for me?" ”

I took out a handful of hair from my arms and handed it to Black Mist: "Help me find out what happened to this person a week ago?" "This handful of hair is what I asked for in the night.

The black mist wrapped around my hand holding my hair, and after about ten minutes, I withdrew my palm and asked, "How is it?" ”

"I only saw the owner of this hair faint next to a grave a week ago." A hoarse voice replied.

I frowned and asked, "Do you see the name on it?" ”

"Well, it's Li Tianyue who died in your school two weeks ago." The hoarse voice continued to answer.

Hearing this name, my heart "chuckled", what a familiar name "Li Tianyue", I will never forget, she is the school flower of the school and my girlfriend, but unfortunately she accidentally fell into the water and passed away two weeks ago. But I didn't believe it would be that simple, because Tianyue could swim, and the river was only up to her knees. What I didn't expect was that I couldn't summon her soul. I've tried more than 10,000 ways to find Tianyue's soul, but none of them have succeeded.

I clenched the hair in my hands and made up my mind: I had to figure this out.

On the way back to the dormitory, I thought about it carefully, and finally decided not to tell Yeliang about Tianyue, so as not to startle the snake. Looking at the watch on his wrist, there were still five hours before dawn, and it was still too late to go back and get a nap.

Gently returned to the dormitory and carefully lay down on his bed.

Even if there is only one clue, Tianyue, I will not give up looking for your soul. With this in mind, I gradually fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I was the only one in the dormitory. I wiped the water on my forehead with my hand, and then put it in my mouth and tasted it. I glanced meaningfully at the cabinet in the dormitory: "Since you're here, why don't you show up yet?" ”

The dormitory was silent, and no one answered. I bit my middle finger and drew a five-pointed star in the empty air with my blood, and I silently recited a mantra in my mouth. Suddenly the dry ceiling was dripping with water, and there was a lot of water coming out of the cabinets.

A strange blue-green face ran out of the cupboard, its long wet hair sticking to its face, revealing only two godless eyes, bloodshot and exaggeratedly bulging.

"Why the hell are you here?" I asked in a deep voice. I can probably tell from the way it looks that it's a water ghost.

A mechanical voice came from the mouth of the strange face: "I died so unjustly, take revenge." The night is cool, the sky is happy, mine, you don't care. ”

"Tsk, the more you say that, the more I'll have to take care of it." I replied with a smile as I secretly drew a talisman in my palm with the blood on my finger.

My ignorance completely infuriated it. It angrily opened its mouth and sprayed water at me, and I dodged it sideways, and immediately ran up quickly, imprinting the palm of the talisman on the strange face, and immediately emitted a scorching smell. Just as I was beaming and letting my guard down, a piercing pain spread from the palm of my hand. I immediately withdrew my hand from the monster's face, and looking at the blood stains on the two rows of sharp teeth that showed out of the eyelids, I knew that my hand had been bitten by the monster's eyelids.

Very well, you have thoroughly me off. Looking at the strange face, a sneer appeared on the corner of my mouth, and my eyes gradually darkened.

I took out the gossip mirror I wore around my neck, pointed it at the strange face and said, "The mirror is real, and a hundred ghosts are scattered." The gossip mirror emitted a dazzling light, and the strange face disappeared with a scream, and the water in the dormitory disappeared with the strange face.

Looking at my blackened palms, I sighed, this is a difficult thing to do.

Enduring the pain, digging out the black meat, applying glutinous rice, and bandaging it, my forehead was already covered with a layer of sweat, frowning and thinking: Why did this water ghost stop himself from investigating the night cool? And why did Ye Liang appear in front of Tianyue's tomb, could it be that Ye Liang had something to do with Tianyue's death?

One mystery after another weighed me like a mountain, and I couldn't breathe.

I asked the dormitory administrator for leave in the evening, and I decided to go to Tianyue's base to have a look, hoping to find any clues.

At midnight, the cemetery was quiet, and the crows stopped on the branches and "quacked", which seemed even more eerie.

I took the white candle and paper money to a grave. The tombstone is engraved with the words "Li Tianyue", and there is a photo on it, which is a black and white photo of a long-haired girl. To be honest, this is my first visit to Tianyue's grave.

I took out a candle, planted it in front of the tombstone, then lit it, and said lightly: "Tianyue, I came to see you, if you have knowledge underground, come out to see me." After reciting a long spell, I frowned at the warm yellow candle flame. No, the flame should be a miserable green, how can it be a warm yellow? Unless......

I bowed three times to the tombstone, then began to put the ideas in my head into action, found something that fit, and began to dig the grave. Half an hour later, I was exhausted and panting, and I knew that this was the case when I looked at the grave with a sneer on the corner of my mouth. Picking up the paper full of charms in the pit, no wonder I couldn't summon Tianyue's soul, because Tianyue was not dead at all, and someone deliberately replaced Tianyue with a "paper man", creating the illusion of Tianyue's death.

But why did that man do this? What is his purpose?

I decided to go to Tianyue's hometown to check, and I traveled overnight, and finally let me arrive before dawn. With vague memories, I finally found Tianyue's hometown.

But looking at the house in front of me, I was stunned. This house is not in good spirits in the gossip of the five elements, and it is located at the door of death, stepping on the ghost door line, which can be described as a real murderous house. How could Tianyue's family choose to settle in such a place?

I pushed the wooden door open, and the room was empty, and I slowly walked towards the house. Looking at the furnishings in the house, I smiled. Scratching with his fingers and shouting "now", the scene in front of him immediately changed dramatically, the furnishings in the room were gone, and a coffin was placed in the center.

Approaching the coffin and looking inside, I was speechless in shock, the person lying inside was none other than my girlfriend Tianyue. She lay serenely, as if asleep, and I couldn't help but want to reach out and touch her face.

"I don't know who you are, but I advise you not to touch my daughter." A female voice sounded behind her. I turned around to look behind me, and a middle-aged woman was walking towards me. I understood what I meant, and the woman sighed and told a story......

In fact, Tianyue's family are all Taoist priests with advanced spells, eliminating evil spirits and helping the people. Due to their special occupation, Tianyue's family had to move at any time.

When they settled in this village, they found this place to be a very vicious place, and in order not to harm others, they decided to live here.

But who would have thought that there would be a thousand-year-old water ghost locked up in this murderous place. It was wronged during his lifetime, and had to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, and after his death, he became a water ghost. Because of endless resentment and anger, it is impossible to be reincarnated.

Tianyue accidentally unlocked the seal of the water ghost and let it escape. Fortunately, at the last moment, Tianyue used a spell to seal most of the water ghost's resentment, and the price was to fall into a deep sleep. Therefore, he had to use "paper man" to replace Tianyue, creating the illusion of Tianyue's death.

After listening to Tianyue's mother's story, I finally knew the reason for Tianyue's fake death. But there is still a mystery that has not been solved.

"Auntie, let me ask if my classmate Yeliang has anything to do with Tianyue, he ...... before," I asked.

Tianyue's mother sighed and said, "Silly boy, why don't you understand?" It's all designed, and it's deliberately luring you into a trap. ”

"Trap?" My mind was a little out of the way.

"Actually, after the water ghost escaped, Tianyue's father and I sealed this room, because we knew that it would definitely come back, and it would take back the part of the power that Tianyue had sealed. But it can't come in directly, it has to be a medium, and you're the best person. Tianyue's mother said.

"You've guessed it, hehe, it's really smart!" A hoarse voice came from outside the door.

I turned my head and saw that it was a cool night.

I stood in front of the coffin and said angrily, "Who the hell are you?" ”

"Ye Liang" asked rhetorically: "Am I not your good friend Ye Liang?" ”

"I smelled a vague 'dead air' from you from the very beginning, and I thought I was smelling it wrong, but I didn't expect it to ......," I said.

After listening to "Ye Liang", he laughed: "Aren't you sure now?" I am the water ghost, and now I can only say that the owner of this body is unlucky, so I have the opportunity to take advantage of his body. ”

"No wonder you said you met a ghost that day, but I didn't smell any 'ghost energy' on you, it turned out that Yeliang had already died!" I yelled.

"Hehe, I'm so smart, then you know the purpose of my coming, don't get out of the way!" The water ghost snapped.

"When is the time for retribution, can't you let go of your hatred?" Tianyue's mother persuaded bitterly.

"Down? It's easy to say, why didn't they think of letting me go when they wronged me in the first place? You'd better get out of the way, or I'll make you look good!" The water ghost shouted at me and Tianyue's mother.

"Remember to protect Tianyue, I'll block it, you take Tianyue away." Tianyue's mother pushed me, and rushed up to fight with the water ghost. I glanced at my aunt, secretly said to take care, picked up Tianyue, and ran out of the back door of the house.

Finding a slightly safe place, I settled Tianyue, and found that my face was wet, it turned out that I had already burst into tears, and secretly swore that I would definitely avenge you, aunt.

With my mind settled, I took out the Bagua Mirror, placed it on Tianyue's forehead, dripped my own blood on the mirror, and then recited the mantra silently. Tianyue's fingers suddenly moved, I knew this was a precursor to her waking up, I removed the charm and waited quietly for Tianyue to wake up.

The process of waiting is arduous, and time passes by minute by second. About half an hour later, Tianyue finally woke up, and I hugged Tianyue, afraid that Tianyue would disappear again.

Tianyue let me hold it and comforted: "I'm sorry, I won't disappear again." The top priority now should be how to deal with the water ghost attached to Ye Liang's body. ”

After calming down my excitement, I looked at Tianyue and said, "Aunt dragged the water ghost herself so that we could escape. ”

"I know, even though I'm asleep, I can hear what's going on outside." Tianyue said, "Mother will be fine, the purpose of the water ghost is on me." ”

"That's good." I was relieved to hear that my aunt was fine. But then he thought that the purpose of the water ghost was Tianyue, so he hurriedly asked, "But ...... you?"

"I'm fine, I need your help to deal with the water ghosts." Tianyue stared into my eyes and said, "There are only two ways to do it at the moment. The first persuasion, the second assault. ”

On campus, I watched Tianyue draw a spell on the ground by the pond, and I couldn't help but ask, "Tianyue, what is this, how come I have never seen this kind of mantra?" ”

"It's an enhanced version of the Bondage Charm. Alas, when is the time for retribution, it is also a poor man, and I hope to help it. Tianyue finished the final stroke, dripping her own blood on the incantation, then sat down in the middle and began to wait.

I hid in a nearby tree and secretly observed, which I had agreed with Tianyue in advance.

At 12 midnight, bubbles suddenly appeared in the middle of the pond. I secretly raised my vigilance, because the water ghost was coming. Sure enough, a huge wave surged on the surface of the water, and the water ghost dressed in the cool skin of the night was in the middle of the huge wave.

"Delivered to the door?" Looking at Tianyue, who was sitting on the ground resting, the water ghost smiled. Tianyue said calmly: "It's still the same sentence, when is the time for retribution, let go of your so-called hatred and go to reincarnation!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, give me back my power!" The water ghost raised its sharp claws and stabbed towards Tianyue. Tianyue still sat there motionless, my hands clenched, staring at the movements of the water ghost.

Seeing that the water ghost was about to stab Tianyue, Tianyue quickly got up and jumped out of the formation, and at the same time, the water ghost's sharp claws had already pierced into the ground. Seeing that the water ghost had jumped into the formation, I quickly jumped down from the tree and shouted: "Quartet gods, you wait for your orders, beam!" "Invisible ropes tied the water spirit.

The water ghost struggled fiercely, Tianyue came to the water ghost and said lightly: "Why do you have to take revenge?" ”

The water ghost roared hoarsely, "Do you know the pain of not being able to breathe in the water and slowly suffocating? Do you know the pain of being blistered white and swollen, and being eaten by fish? ”

"We don't know, but even if you kill their descendants, you won't survive, and it will increase your sins. Let it go! I persuaded.

"Let go, can I still let go? The owner of this body, I'm... One" the water ghost smiled helplessly.

"Yes, as long as you have the heart to repent, you can." Tianyue's mother walked out of the grove.

I stared at my aunt in shock, who smiled at me and Tianyue with a calm face.

"Actually, you're tired yourself, aren't you? Hate is a very tiring thing. Tianyue said as she untied the water ghost.

The water ghost sat on the ground in a daze, tears streaming from his eyes. I stepped forward and patted the water ghost on the shoulder: "I'll send you to reincarnation." With that, I took out the yellow paper and threw it at the water ghost, which quickly burned out.

The water ghost's body gradually became transparent, and the water ghost looked at me with deep meaning. I knew what it was going to say, so I nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll help him with the soul of the night cool." The water ghost smiled reassuringly and vanished......

I looked at Tianyue, and Tianyue looked at me, and we laughed.

Suddenly, I felt a pain in my abdomen. I looked at Tianyue who was sneering in front of me in shock, pushed Tianyue away, and covered the wound in my abdomen that was stabbed by Tianyue.

"Why?" I stared at Tianyue, both familiar and unfamiliar, with a pained face.

Tianyue sneered and said "break", and Tianyue's mother made a "bang" and instantly turned into a paper figure.

"All this is also the game I set up for you, borrow your hand to get rid of that water ghost. In fact, there is one thing you don't know, I am the descendant of the unjusted water ghost, and if you don't get rid of it, it will be me who will die. Since you love me so much, you must be able to forgive me, right? Tianyue smiled, "Do you know why I killed you?" How can two soul-slaying families who have been enemies for generations live in peace? So you go die! ”

Blood slowly flowed from the wound, my head became more and more dizzy, my eyes blackened, and finally I couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground. Looking at Tianyue, who was laughing insolently, the corners of my mouth hooked up a faint smile: Yes, I understand you. So, I don't hate you. Because, hate—it's really tiring......
