Chapter 8: The Night of the Soul (2)

The three of them had already reached the staircase on the second floor, and when they heard the creaking sound, they all held their breath and squatted on the ground, holding the railing tightly with both hands, staring nervously downstairs.

When Aunt Li came up, she had turned off the lights on the first floor, only a few white candles on the offering table were glowing dismally, and the flames were straight, and there was no wind in this hall.

Crunch, Ye Liang listened carefully, and found that the sound came from the door, thinking of the sound of the creaky door opening just now, it really seemed that someone came in, and then slowly walked in step by step.

The creaking sound is getting louder and louder, and the footsteps seem to be heavy. Ye Liang had also dealt with ghosts in the past, and he was a little puzzled at the moment: why didn't he find that ghosts walked so heavily in the past?

Crunch...... The sound sounded in the middle of the hall, in the direction of the offering table, and then the flame of the candle on the offering table began to twist, and with a gust of wind, the candle went out, and only a trace of moonlight cast by the crack in the door and the glass on the door did not shine too far. Suddenly, Aunt Li grabbed Ye Quan's hand, Ye Liang turned his head and glanced at her, but Aunt Li grabbed her tightly, her hand kept shaking, she raised her other hand, Ye Liang looked down along her fingers, and was also startled, under the illumination of that bit of moonlight, a black shadow appeared on the ground of the hall! It was definitely not the shadow of a young woman.

The shadow was very tall, with his shoulders upturned at both ends, like an ornament on his clothes, and his head was large, with a hat on his head. Ye Liang looked at the shadow on his shoulder, and felt that the upturned feeling was like an ancient general in a puppet show he watched when he was a child. This figure and this shadow show the dress, it is absolutely impossible to be Chen Ying, this is Chen Ying's first seven, her soul has not been invited, what is it that has been invited?

The two women obviously thought of this too, and Wu's mother couldn't control her trembling at all, and her teeth began to rattle.

Ye Limit was worried that she would make a mistake, and slashed at her neck with a palm, Wu Ma shook and was about to fall to the ground, Aunt Li was obviously stronger than Wu Ma, and hugged Wang Ma's soft body from behind, and the two of them gently put Wang Ma aside, and at this moment, the creaking sound disappeared, but there was a tremor on the stairs, and someone went upstairs!

The moonlight could only be reflected in the hall, and now the candles were extinguished, and the stairs were so dark that nothing could be seen. I could only feel the clang, and the black shadow was getting closer and closer. Ye Quan's heart was already hanging in his throat, this is not Chen Ying, what the hell is this, or a monster?

Aunt Li pressed her long nails against her palms, this woman followed the old lady of the Li family in the afternoon, and she didn't expect that she was also a tough person, so she was stunned to this extent.

Syllable. The slab on the second floor moved, and the sight had apparently reached the second floor, and stood in front of them.

"What a sound!"

Suddenly, Wen Jingrong's voice came from the end of the corridor opposite, and then the lights flickered, and someone turned on the lights in the corridor.

"Whew!" With a roar, Ye Liang saw clearly the tall thing opposite, it was a big man with a beard on his face, wearing armor like ancient times, and he could see the red undershirt inside, carrying a cold and shining sword in his hand, staring at them with big round eyes.

Aunt Li let out a miserable scream, turned around and ran, the big man stood and didn't chase, and looked at Ye Liang in a daze. Wen Jingrong didn't dare to move when he saw this scene on the other side of the corridor. Ye Liang looked at this person's image, and asked in his heart, "Are you Zhong Kui?" ”

Zhong Kui is the surname Zhong Kui, the name of the word is south, and in Chinese folklore, he is a god who can fight ghosts and drive away evil spirits. In the old days, Chinese folk often hung the image of Zhong Kui to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. It is the "Holy Monarch of the Blessed Town" in traditional Chinese culture.

The man understood, nodded, and said in an urn voice: "The ghost spirit here is very strong, Yu Te is here to catch ghosts, and you and other mortals retreat." ”

Ye Limit pouted: "You are an immortal and you can't distinguish between right and wrong, of course there is a ghost in this house today, that is because it is the night of the hostess of this family's soul, since you are Zhong Kui, you are also an evil one, why can't you get along with the soul of a weak woman?" ”

Zhong Kui was stunned: "The soul of a weak woman? No, this is an evil spirit! ”

As soon as he heard that Chen Ying was a demon, Wen Jingrong trembled with fright, and he could only stand by holding on to the wall, but his feet were filled with lead, and he couldn't move a single step at all, and he couldn't move forward or retreat.

Ye Quan didn't give in: "I can be sure that Chen Ying is not that kind of person, she is a young woman, how much mana can she have if she dies or a demon, even if you are Zhong Kui, you can't frame people without any evidence!" Say she's a demon and show the evidence! ”

Wen Jingrong leaned against the wall of the corridor, and the whole person was stunned.

He saw that the ugly bearded man in front of him was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, how could this wife and sister still argue with him.

No, she keeps calling Chen Ying Chen Ying, can my sister call her sister like this? She is not Chen Ying's sister, so who is she?

Sure enough, Zhong Kui was stopped by her.

Zhong Kui is said to be a scholar in the Tang Xuanzong period, it is said that this person is rich in five cars, but his appearance is really not flattering, he is now in the middle of the Qinling Mountains in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, Zhongnan Mountain, Zhongzhou to the county Zhongnan Town, Zhongnan Village, talented, full of economy, rich five cars, high eight buckets, usually very upright, to put it bluntly, is a Zhuge Liang's soul into Li Kui's body. Later, he won the champion because of his bad appearance, he was sarcastic by the emperor, and died in a fit of anger, Tang Ming Emperor gave him a funeral with the champion ceremony, and then he gave a dream to Tang Ming Emperor, saying that he could exorcise ghosts, so Tang Ming Emperor named him "Blessed Town House Holy King", edict to the world, and hung "Zhong Kui Blessing Town House Map" to protect the blessing and dispel evil charms to bless peace. Judging from these legends, this guy is a dead eye: why fight to the death if you can't be the champion, how good it is to have this ability to wander the rivers and lakes, how can it be better than death. However, the spirit of exorcising ghosts when he dies is not comparable to ordinary people, in short, Ye Quan's analysis, this guy is a good person with a dead heart and a tendon (if he is not a good person, how can he still rescue Emperor Tang Ming?). )

Ye Kui grasped the weakness of his character, and a few words easily confused Zhong Kui.

He was so confused, Ye Quan hurriedly said again: "You said you want to exorcise ghosts, what kind of ghosts are you exorcising?" ”

Zhong Kui was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"I wonder what you're doing here? Join in the fun? ”

Ye Liang came to his senses, stood up, crossed his hands on his hips, and stared at him angrily.

"Since Yu has exorcised ghosts, it has been counted as an exhaustive species for thousands of years, and the evil is here."

Over here?

Ye Liang looked around, Mother Wu was still in a coma, Aunt Li ran away, Wen Jingrong was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, this waste, which one here did he refer to?

Zhong Kui took a few more steps forward, his steps unusually heavy.

"Here, here is what told me." He stomped his foot, referring to the slab beneath his feet.

Ye Quan still wanted to ask again, so he listened to Zhong Kui's voice: "When the time comes, the rest will go." Before the words fell, a whirlwind suddenly broke out on the flat ground, and Zhong Kui disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ye Yu shouted angrily: "Hey, you are really, others committed suicide when they disliked you for being ugly, and now you ran away without clarifying the matter, you are still not a man." ”

"Is he a human or a ghost?"

Wen Jingrong squeezed out a sentence with difficulty.

Ye Liang raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?" ”

Wen Jingrong looked at Ye Liang, opened his mouth to speak, but finally swallowed.

"You want to ask who I am, why don't I look like Chen Ying's sister? I advise you to save it, knowing everything is not good for you, it's rare to be confused. ”

After Ye Liang finished speaking, he squatted down and stared at the floor slab: It's strange, this ugly guy said that he was here to tell him, what can this floor tell him?
