In the exclamation of the onlookers, the fire burned brightly, and the old thatched hut quickly became a sea of fire. The crowd at the scene was silent, watching the flames rise and burn every part of the old hut to ashes.

The fire was reflected in the surrounding bubbles, and black smoke billowed into the sky. Looking at the fire in front of me, I fell into an emotion, my brain went blank, and by the time the fire burned out, the old hut was in rubble.

The goddess had a calm expression and led a few men into the ruins, holding long sticks commonly used in the countryside in their hands. Several people walked through the ruins. From a distance, they seemed to be looking for something.

Suddenly a man screamed, and he picked something up with a stick in the rubble of the ruins, like a blackened garment.

At this time, the people watching the excitement on the shore had almost gone, and only a few were still watching. I was watching intently when a girl's voice sounded behind me, "I really shouldn't have listened to you." ”

I looked back and saw that it was Cai Xiaocai. She stood next to me and looked at the priestess from a distance: "The garment on the beam of the house was not burned by the fire. I should have taken it down and looked at it. That's good stuff. ”

"How do you know it's the dress?" I'm not convinced.

Cai Xiaocai looked at me with a look of disdain, didn't explain anything, and turned to leave.

I saw that there was no excitement to see, and I left, a little glad and a little afraid, but fortunately I came over last night. If it dragged on until today, everything would have been burned to the ground.

Back at the farmhouse, the tourists are going to leave today, they come and go fast, and several buses are parked at the entrance of the village. Many people talked and laughed, dressed neatly, and got on the bus in groups in an orderly manner.

The owner of the farmhouse saw that I didn't leave, was a little curious, and asked me how long I was staying. I said that I am a casual guest, it is all up to my mood, and I will play here for two more days.

Nagging and nagging, I was suspicious and asked the boss about the origin of the goddess in the village.

The boss took a cigarette in his mouth and said, "That woman is amazing, we call her Aunt Mei in ten miles and eight villages." Her family was originally two sisters, both of whom were in the line of dancing gods, and belonged to the family. In the past, her mother and grandmother did this. ”

I was a little strange: "Her sister is pretty good at that." ”

"That's a must." The boss said, "Her sister's name is Lan Gu. You can see the old house burned today, that is where her sister used to live. At that time, Langu incense was at its peak, and our villagers went to her to beg her for something, and the Tao was very high. ”

I seemed to realize something: "What about Langu?" ”

"Dead." The boss said.

I was a little uncomfortable, and was about to ask him how he died, but the boss waved his hand and went to work. It can be seen that he is running away from the question and does not want to talk about it.

I secretly thought that the old thatched hut was where Aunt Lan lived, and all the things in it should have been left by her. This Lan Gu and the Eight Immortal Caves must be inextricably linked.

When I came out of the farmhouse, the tourists from outside got on the bus, and I saw Cai Xiaocai. She carried her bag and smiled like a flower, and came over and said, "Goodbye, brother, I still have to go to the wedding, so I won't accompany you." ”

I stared at her two hands, empty, and didn't hold the censer. Cai Xiaocai smiled: "Don't worry about it, I've already sent away." I came to Tieling to play with me. By the way, why are you still here, why don't you go together? ”

I sneered, "Can you handle it?" ”

"Yo, you kid." Cai Xiaocai glared at me: "If I don't have something to do, I really want to stare at you, I feel that you still have something." ”

I'm so tired of ignoring her and turning away.

Several buses started and the tourists left. I wandered around the village alone, thinking about when I would go up the mountain. Although it is already close to the target, this mountain is dozens of kilometers in circumference, the forest is deep and dense, and finding an inconspicuous cave in it is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

I summoned Huang Xiaotian and Cheng Hai in my mind, and wanted to calculate the next plan of action with them. But no matter how much I summoned, they didn't show up.

These two people are too characterful, they don't take my little golden boy as a thing at all. I screamed a few more times in my heart, but there was still no response, when I turned a village road, and suddenly I saw a man standing not far away, alone in front of a courtyard, in a very strange posture.

My blood flowed backwards, and he was the mysterious man with his hair tied in a bun on his head.

I hurriedly hid behind the wall and looked over, and now he looked at the courtyard opposite, his eyes straight. The posture is extremely strange, the whole body is straight, not as rigid as the soldiers, like a dead tree nailed to the ground, it looks a bit of dusty Zen.

I secretly looked at him, and it always felt like this person had eyes in the back of his head and could spot me. After looking at it for a while, I didn't dare to look at it again, and hurriedly retracted my head.

After waiting for a moment and then poking out, the man was gone.

My heart was pounding, the back of my neck was in the cool breeze, and I was squatting behind the wall, my heart pounding. After waiting for a while, he was indeed gone, and he should have left.

I rubbed for another ten minutes or so, and walked over slowly, what was he looking at?

Walking to the door, I took a look, this is a common farmhouse, the courtyard door is hidden, the inside is the farmhouse, through the courtyard is a two-story small white building, the door is pasted with the word "Fu".

The courtyard was quiet, and there was no barking of dogs.

I lowered my head and accidentally saw a red paper flower in front of the courtyard gate. I suddenly remembered last night's bonfire. The man was fiddling with similar fake flowers in his hand at that time, as if they had been pulled off the wreath, which was very abrupt and obscure.

I didn't dare to touch it, and I had a bad feeling that this man might be eyeing the family.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the house, and a peasant woman came out, carrying a basin of water, and saw me at a glance.

The two of us looked at each other across the courtyard gate, and I chuckled in my heart, the woman who came out was the goddess, named Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei didn't know me, so she poured out the dirty water and came over with a basin: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

I didn't speak, but gave her a look in my eyes, motioning for her to look at the ground. Aunt Mei saw the red fake flower at a glance, her face changed greatly, she put the pot aside and opened the courtyard door.

She glared at me, her face was cloudy, and her tone softened: "The master is here, it's my little woman who doesn't know Mount Tai with eyes." I am old and young, and I don't know where I offended the masters......"

I hurriedly waved my hand: "Aunt Mei, this thing is not mine, a man stared at your door for a long time just now." ”

Aunt Mei's face turned pale: "Thank you, little brother." She didn't even ask for details, she hurried home and didn't even want a basin.

I'm a little puzzled, as for me, seeing fake flowers is like seeing a life talisman.

I didn't leave, squatting outside the courtyard wall of her house and smoking.

It didn't take long to see Aunt Mei and several of her family coming out with big bags and small rolls. There was an old lady who was quite old, and she scolded while holding her burden: "Who did you offend again, I told you two sisters not to dance the gods, your sister just didn't listen, what's the matter, now it's your turn again." I'm telling you, if something happens to Bao'er, don't say I'm fighting with you! ”

There was a little girl inside, carrying a schoolbag, with two chirps, pulling the old lady's shirt: "Grandma, don't scold your mother." ”

"Oh my baby, that's sensible." The old lady took the little girl's hand and scolded a man next to her: "I didn't agree to your marriage at the beginning, what's the matter, make trouble twice in three days, let the old man worry about it with you." ”

The man was a typical rural man, who looked quite a bag, carrying a large luggage roll, and did not speak, helping the old and the young out of the yard.

When they arrived at the door, the man said, "Bao'er, mother, why don't we hide together, can't we hide if we can't fight?" ”

Aunt Mei smiled sadly: "I can't go." People call the door by name, and they can only accept it. I still have the possibility of a war left, and if I leave, it will bring disaster to you. ”

The man sighed and dragged the mother and child away. The little girl also beckoned: "Mom, goodbye, you have to come and pick me up." ”

Aunt Mei's eyes were full of tears: "My baby, my mother will go in a few days, and you will be obedient to grandma's house." ”

When they were all gone, Aunt Mei wiped her eyes and turned to go into the house. I hurriedly came out of the shelter, leaned over and said, "Sister Mei, let me help you." ”

Aunt Mei looked at me with a cold face and a cold tone: "Who the hell are you?!" ”

I said sincerely: "My surname is Feng, my name is Feng Ziwang, and I am a tourist from Liaoning. My family is also out of the court, and now I am still studying with the master, preparing to become a fragrant boy in the future. When I first arrived, I noticed that there was a man who was wrong, and he had a lot of yin energy on him. I didn't expect him to have his eyes on you. ”

I quickly took out my ID card from my pocket, and Aunt Mei took it and looked at it, and her tone was a little softer: "Do you know the origin of that man?" ”

I shook my head and said I didn't know, "I just don't think he's a good person." ”

Aunt Mei said: "Then I'll tell you, and then decide whether to mix with muddy water or not after you understand." There is a ghost hall in Jilin, and the people who worship at the entrance of the hall are all evil ghosts in the underworld. The incense boy in this hall can go to the underworld to investigate things, and he can also ask the soul to return to the sun, so the incense at the entrance of the hall is very prosperous. This cousin has more contact with the underworld, and one by one he has become ghostly, acting like an abnormal person, like a mental illness. To offend them, you basically don't die. This ghost hall also has a feature, all the incense children in the hall carry paper flowers. As the so-called paper flowers to the evil ghosts. That's the hook of the underworld, that's the detention ticket of the Lord of Hades! ”

I shuddered when I heard it, I didn't expect the man to be so secretive.
