Chapter 124: Mountain Village Ghost Market
"Boom!"
There was a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and there was an explosion. It shook me to the point of a splitting headache.
I woke up with a start, and my eyes opened.
Blinding light, snow-white walls, the sound of machines ticking at the head of the bed, and a railing with a potion bottle hanging from it.
On the left side of the hospital bed, Sister Du and Chen Zijing were lying on their stomachs, and on the other side were Bian Zhiheng and Sang Jin.
"I asked the Buddha why it always snowed when I was sad
The Buddha said that winter is about to pass, leave some memories
I asked the Buddha why every time it snowed it was a night that I didn't care about
The Buddha said that when people are inadvertent, they always miss out on a lot of true beauty
I asked Buddha if it would snow in a few days
The Buddha said don't just stare at this season and miss this winter."
A tactful female voice on the TV recited Cangyang Gyatso's poem in a low voice.
I listened quietly, quietly without making a sound.
Tears involuntarily slipped from the corners of her eyes, brushed her sideburns, and dripped onto her pillow next to her ears. All the memories came flooding back to my mind. Ruan Nanxing's memories and my memories began to overlap and merge.
I am Ruan Nianchu, and I am also Ruan Nanxing. It was originally of the same origin as God, but now it is reunited, but it is like a big dream. This dream, thousands of years, yin and yang are separated.
Get up, I didn't bother the others.
With tears in my eyes, I walked to the window and pushed it open. The cool evening breeze blew in, and I was thinly clothed, and I couldn't help but shiver.
"Girl......"
An old lady in the same ward called me softly, and I looked back at her and did not speak.
The old lady said, "Girl, you are still young, what can't you think of? Close the window quickly." ”
The old lady had already gotten out of bed and walked over tremblingly. She took my hand and then slammed the window shut with her other hand. The window made a thud, waking Sister Du and the others up.
"Nian Chu!" Sister Du shouted and hurriedly ran over.
The old lady let go of my hand and walked back tremblingly, lying on the hospital bed.
Sister Du looked at me happily. Sang Jin asked, "How do you feel?"
I shook my head and said, "I feel bad......
Sister Du raised her head, looked at me, took me into her arms and said, "It's okay." The doctor said that your illness is all cured, and we don't need to go to Qinling. ”
I struggled to break free from Sister Du's arms, and I said, "It was Nanxing who saved me." ”
Seeing that Sister Du and the others were surprised, I explained the reason for the incident. After listening, Sister Du turned around silently, and suddenly lay on the edge of the bed and cried bitterly.
Bian Zhiheng said, "Yu Demon took Nan Xing'er and went to a place that no one knows. Let me tell you a word when I go, don't go down the wrong path. ”
The remnant demon left with Ruan Nanxing?
I hurriedly asked, "What else did he say?"
Bian Zhiheng shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything else." ”
I turned and walked to the window, and through the window,
Look outside. It's sunny outside, and it's lively outside. And this ward is filled with the smell of disinfectant potion.
Wei Fanghong went out to buy food, and it took a long time to come back. The eighth child is now learning spells with Wei Fanghong, and he is very serious and hardworking. Lao Ba said that he wanted to learn spells to protect Chen Zijing.
In the afternoon, I went through the discharge procedures, and then we drove by Sang Jin, and we went all the way west, into the hinterland of Mengshan Mountain, to the small mountain village called Yumuwo.
As early as early spring, the elm nest has been relocated as a whole. Half a year passed, and most of the houses began to become dilapidated. The whole small mountain village is not inhabited at all, and there is no sound of barking dogs when I came last time. The cemetery on the west side of the village has also been moved, and the large and small pits in the cemetery can still be clearly seen.
From memory, I went to the grave where the curved coffin was dug and imagined what it had been like.
My memories and Ruan Nanxing's memories have been completely integrated, her memories are my memories, and my memories can no longer be shared with her. I know that she has always wanted to go back to this little mountain village and see the place where she grew up again.
Grandma Li's house has now completely collapsed. The stove where Zhang Jingzhen was found at the beginning has also been completely destroyed.
We walked through the village to the dry well at the back of the village. The dry well has been filled in, and if it had not been known that there was a dry well here, it would not be visible at all now.
"Hey, who are you!"
I was about to crouch down to find the location of the dry well when a voice suddenly came from a distance.
I looked up and saw a shriveled and thin old man, crouched on a mound, looking at us. He had a pipe in his mouth and smoked it with a click.
The nearest village is also dozens of miles away, not to mention that this place has long been deserted. The sudden appearance of an old man really made us vigilant.
Wei Fanghong said, "Who are you?"
The old man stood up and walked towards us. He took two more puffs of his cigarette, coughed twice as if he had choked.
The old man said, "This is not the place for you to come, if it's okay, leave quickly." ”
Wei Fanghong wanted to speak, but was stopped by Sister Du. Sister Du dragged Wei Fanghong behind her and said to the old man, "Uncle, we are here to travel and come here." You say this isn't where we came from, what's the matter?"
The old man looked at us one by one and said, "You don't look like tourists. This place is haunted, and when it is late at night, it will come out to harm people. ”
Wei Fanghong said, "Uncle, no one has moved here for a long time, and there will be no shadow of a person at night." Even if there is a ghost, who will it come out to harm?"
The old man shook his head slightly and said, "There is no one here during the day, but at night, it will be very lively." You dolls, get out of here and don't get yourself into unnecessary trouble. Listen to my old man's advice, don't think that if you learn a few tricks, you won't be afraid of heaven and earth. ”
We looked at each other and listened to this
Meaning, this old man, already knows our details.
When the old man saw that we did not speak, he continued, "You are all descendants of the coffin gate, right? Listen to me, get out of here right away, and don't come back. Especially you little girl. ”
As he spoke, the old man pointed at me with his pipe.
I was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
The old man said, "I see that your qi and veins are disordered, yin and yang are declining, although your spiritual power and aura are extraordinary, but your qi and veins are unstable now, and your foundation is not pure. In such a place, it is easy to be injured by yin qi and disturb the mind. If it is serious, and the spirit is controlled by the yin spirit, you will go to the evil path. ”
I was horrified. In just a few moments, the old man saw me thoroughly. If it had been, I might not have thought so. But he said the same thing as Lu Tie. When Lu Tie saw me, he also said that I wanted to take the right path, and never take the evil path. Even when I was dying, I still asked Yu Demon to bring me such a sentence.
Am I really going to go down the wrong path?
The old man looked at the sky and said, "The sun is about to set, so go quickly." After leaving, don't tell outsiders about this place. Remember, remember!"
With that, he stopped talking to us and turned and walked back to the village.
Suddenly, the old man stopped. Just as we were wondering, he suddenly turned back and shouted at us, "Come to me!"
Before we could react, a large cloud of white smoke suddenly rose from the surroundings. The smoke, like dry ice released from the stage, rose rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it filled the entire barren slope.
The old man's face immediately changed, he walked back quickly, gathered us together and said, "Whatever happens, follow me, don't talk!"
Faintly, there was a loud and noisy voice, as if it was a market, there were the sounds of vendors selling things, and there were sounds of bargaining.
The night in the mountains comes quickly. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings went dark. In front of my eyes, a vague figure began to appear. I opened my eyes wide in amazement and saw how quickly everything around me changed. The original small village is gone, and what appears in front of you is a street that has never been seen before.
The street is full of people, flanked by shops, and the open space in front of the shops is full of food stalls. Wontons, ramen, fried skewers, burritos, you name it.
If I hadn't seen this weird thing with my own eyes, I had no doubt there was anything wrong with the street. No, one thing is different, the people on the street are all walking with expressionless faces and not squinting.
"What kind of place is this?" asked Chen Zijing uneasily.
As soon as the words fell, I only felt a creep. I saw dozens of glances around me and quickly looked this way. In those eyes, there were only the whites of the eyes, but no eyeballs. They are all empty, and there is no emotion in them.
I hurriedly pulled Chen Zijing and told her not to speak.
The old man's face was extremely angry,
didn't say anything, just spit a puff of cigarette at Chen Zijing, shrouding Chen Zijing's face in it.
Chen Zijing was so choked that he wanted to cough, but I covered his mouth.
No matter how stupid I am, I know that this is not the world, this is a ghost market! The old man has cast a spell to cover all of us with yang energy, as long as we don't speak, these ghosts around us shouldn't find out about us.
I covered Chen Zijing's mouth and peeked at the ghosts around me in horror. Luckily, they searched for a while, found nothing out of the ordinary, and left.
The old man whispered, "Follow me!"
At this time, how dare we have any more objections. Seeing the old man walking forward, we hurried to follow.
This ghost market, it's really long. After crossing two streets, there is still no end in sight. The food stall next to him has all kinds of special snacks, like the world, and on the stall, there are guests sitting in twos and threes. I couldn't help but swallow as I watched them eat delicious food.
As I was thinking, a ghost suddenly came to me. I turned my head to see an old lady in her seventies and eighties, unkempt and tattered, holding a broken bowl with a missing mouth in one hand and reaching out to me with the other. She said, "Girl, it's okay, give me something to eat." ”
The sudden change made me stunned. I couldn't speak, but the old lady was in front of me, and if I wanted to get there, I had to go around.
So, I moved to the side. However, as soon as she moved, the old lady suddenly raised her head. On an old face, the cheekbones are extremely high, a pair of eyes are miserable white, and a blood red flow to the chin at the corner of the eye, red and terrifying.
I shuddered in my heart, and subconsciously took two quick steps and flashed over.
But the old woman grabbed me and said, "You really have no conscience, you ......" The old woman's face suddenly changed, she stared at me with those miserable white eyes, shook off my arm violently, and roared loudly, "You are human!"
"Huh!" With this roar, dozens of eyes around looked at us.
The old man yelled, "What are you doing in a daze, run"
