When asked this, the child stopped talking again, leaned against the tree, and stopped struggling.

After saying these two sentences, Huang Shanjun also searched the child's body carefully and said, "There are no other weapons." ”

We didn't continue to embarrass him, and when we made sure he wasn't a threat, we untied the rope for him.

Huang Shanjun escaped from his bag and handed him a new dagger, he looked at Huang Shanjun in surprise and took it in surprise.

I noticed that although the dagger was the same as Huang Shanjun's, it had not yet been bladed.

Huang Shanjun explained: "If necessary, I will give him the dagger I used when I leave." ”

I nodded, gave Huang Shanjun two life charms, and asked him to look at the child, and I carefully searched the stockade.

I thought there was a small child, and there must be at least one adult in the village, but who knew that after looking around, no one was seen.

And every house is like it has been robbed, and the things in the house are messy, and what makes me feel abnormal is that there is nothing to prove the identity of the owner of the house.

I went back and said to Huang Shanjun disappointed: "There is nothing that can prove my identity." ”

With a solemn expression, he took me aside and said, "I touched the skeleton of that child just now, and he must be at least fifteen years old. ”

I looked at the kid in amazement: "So big? But his height is only eleven or twelve years old. ”

"Well, it's probably due to chronic malnutrition." He said, "When you went to search the village just now, I also searched the house where the child appeared, and in the innermost room of the house there was a dark compartment of five or six square meters, in which was the futon, and the child should be sleeping in it. ”

"You ...... Looking for what? The child asked us suddenly.

I explained to him, "We weren't looking for anything, we came here by accident, and when we saw that the stockade was empty, I was curious to know what this place was." ”

The child looked up at me, his eyes gradually widened, and suddenly he screamed, not scared, but surprised.

What's going on?

When I was stunned, the child jumped over and hugged my waist, shouting for my sister.

If he hadn't been holding my waist properly, I would have suspected that he was taking advantage of me.

I thought for a moment and said, "I'm not your sister. ”

He let go of me, a little confused, and after a moment dragged me towards the room behind him.

The room was made of wood, and the outside was supposed to be a living room, with low wooden benches and wooden tables, separated by three rooms on the north side.

The child led me into the innermost house.

The house was still in a mess, and there was a small house made of wood and weeds in the southwest corner, not to mention a tall man like Huang Shanjun, even if I got into it, I had to curl up.

The child skillfully got in, pouted and groped for a long time, and finally took out a photo from it and handed it to me like a treasure.

I took it in amazement, and after reading the above content, the whole person was like a lightning strike.

There was my mom in the photo.

There were four people in the photo, two men and women in their forties, and it was clear at a glance that they were husband and wife, and in front of them stood a teenage child, the child in front of me, and my mother was standing behind the husband and wife, wearing exactly the same clothes as the body I found in the Seven Troubles River before.

The child pointed to my mother and said, "Sister......"

Then he pointed at me, "Like." ”

I didn't know what kind of expression I should make, and in the end, I could only pull the corners of my mouth helplessly.

Does he mean my mom is his sister?

I ran all the way to the mountains and recognized a little uncle?

What is this called?

"This is your sister?" I confirmed with him.

He nodded.

I have some facial features like my mother, but I can't tell them at a glance, and it's not surprising that he didn't recognize them when we first met.

If what he said is true, doesn't that mean it's my mother's hometown?

I looked through the window at the already dilapidated village, and my heart was even more puzzled, why did my mother never mention it to me?

It took me a long time before I withdrew my gaze and asked the child, "Little ...... What's your name? ”

I really can't call out the little uncle, and besides, I'm not completely sure, and I don't want to recognize my relatives.

He said: "Zhou, Shu, Yang. ”

He spoke slowly, obviously not saying those three words in a long time.

As he spoke, he ran to the next room, and after a while, he dragged out two small stools with a layer of soil, wiped off the soil on them, and asked me to sit down with Huang Shanjun.

I glanced at him and sat down together, and Zhou Shuyang sat cross-legged on the ground.

His clothes were very ill-fitting, and they were covered with dirt, so I couldn't see the original color, and when he sat down, his collar was crooked, and I saw that his body was full of scars, some new and some old.

His right chest was red and swollen, and he didn't know what he had bitten.

I asked him, "You've been living here on your own all these years?" ”

He nodded and said with difficulty: "Someone rushed up and killed the people in the stockade, I climbed the tree quickly and well, climbed to a very high tree and hid, no one found out." ”

I thought to myself, "Who killed the people in the stockade?" ”

"I don't know." He said.

"Where is the body?" Huang Shanjun asked suddenly.

Zhou Shuyang led us to the back of the stockade, which was originally built on the mountainside, and the forest behind it, and walked into the forest for more than 20 minutes, and I slowly stopped.

The corpses in the front place have all decomposed into white bones, and a rough count must have seventy or eighty corpses.

Huang Shanjun stepped forward to check the corpses, but Zhou Shuyang suddenly grabbed him, shook his head, and said in horror: "You can't touch it, it's poisonous." ”

As he spoke, he gestured to his chest.

Thinking of his redness and swelling, I was busy squatting in front of him and looking at his face carefully, although the luck was not good, everything was normal in the Life Palace, the Sickness Palace and the Baoshou Palace.

I reached out and pressed it on his chest and asked him, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt." He laughs.

Huang Shanjun didn't touch those bones, looked down for a long time, and said to me, "At least five years dead." ”

Five-year ...... Another five years!

What happened five years ago?

Looking at that picture, it must have been my mom who came here after she left the house, and the people in the village were still alive when she came.

I held my head and felt like my head was messing around.

Uncle Niu used to say that my mother is from the Seven Troubles River, could it be that the coffin of the Seven Troubles River is also related to the village?

"Let's go back first." Huang Shanjun said.

I breathed a sigh of relief, answered, and led Zhou Shuyang to follow behind Huang Shanjun.

When I returned to the village, I was heartbroken and said to Huang Shanjun: "Brother Huang, I want to summon spirits." ”

"Okay." He said yes very happily.

I explained, "It's not a conjuring spirit like before, you should have heard of the Yin Soldier borrowing the Tao, and I will make a dojo at night to summon back the unjust souls in the village, and at the same time make them think that they are still alive and repeat what happened before their lives." ”

As soon as I finished saying this, the old master said: "No, if you fail, you will be devoured by the soul you have recruited, you don't want to live, I still want to live." ”

I ignored him, looked at Huang Shanjun and said, "This matter is very dangerous, please help me arrange it, and hide with Zhou Shuyang when it gets dark." ”

Huang Shanjun said: "No, I'll stay and help you." ”

"No, it's up to me." I say.

He sighed, but said nothing.

I learned this soul conjuring technique from Su Yueze, and I specially called him out with a talisman, and when I heard that I was going to do this, he was also against it.

"You're crazy, if the souls of those people don't rest in peace, it's fine, but now there is no ghost in the village here, it is very likely that the souls have gone to the underworld, are you going to snatch the soul from the underworld?" He said.

I laughed, "It's as serious as you say." ”

He squatted down in front of me, softened his tone, and said, "Congcong, you listen to my advice, we are thinking of other ways to do this, and we must not summon spirits without permission." ”

I took a deep breath and said, "I want to know my mother's whereabouts, and this is my only chance." ”

At the moment, Huang Shanjun can't contact the sixth master, I can still call the shots about everything here, I must find out the truth about the death of the people in the village and find out my mother's whereabouts before the sixth master knows this place.

After the sixth master knows these things, I will fall into passivity.

And if I knew the truth about the village, maybe I wouldn't need to follow the sixth master anymore.

Su Yueze looked at me for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "I really regret sealing your soul for you." ”

He couldn't persuade me, so he told me the specific steps of the conjuring and the things that needed attention.

"Although this method is called conjuring, it is actually a deformation of puppetry, you need to determine how many people have died in the village, not more or less, after determining the number, cut out the corresponding number of paper figures, and then arrange the paper figures according to the distribution of living people in the previous village, and put a few paper figures on how many people in a family." He said.

I hurriedly followed Huang Shanjun to work, counted the bones in the back mountain, and after confirming the number with Zhou Shuyang, I cut the paper figures and placed them door to door.

After getting this done, Su Yueze began to teach me to draw talismans.

"This spiritualism actually originated from the Jiang family." He said.

I frowned secretly, "It seems that these crooked things from the evil sect all originated from the Jiang family. ”

He nodded: "You're really right, not only the evil sect is crooked, but even the tricks of the serious sect are mostly from the Jiang family, so the Jiang family has always made decent people love and hate." ”

The rune paper he handed me to draw this time is very special, it is different from the previous runes, but it is very similar to the soul sealing talisman last time, and it looks a bit like hieroglyphs.

After drawing the rune paper, he said, "There are no offerings right now, so let's just come directly." ”

I nodded.

When it was almost dark, I asked Huang Shanjun to leave with Zhou Shuyang.

I stood on the place of the village with the rune paper, and Su Yueze said that this is the place of birth of the village, and it is just right here.

When it was past ten o'clock, when the full moon was in the sky, I took a deep breath, put on the robe that Zhang Heng gave me, and started according to the mantra that Su Yueze taught me.

Actually, I don't know what the charm he taught me me, the pronunciation of each word is very special, different from normal speech, I can only learn the shape of his mouth.

After reading it, a yin wind blew under my feet, small and fleeting.

I was overjoyed, and I hurriedly read it a second time.

Su Yueze said that the yin wind blew seven times, and the souls of the dead could return.

I thought it was a cloudy wind blowing over and over again, but who knew that when I just read it for the third time, the wind blew violently on all sides, making the leaves rustle.

At the same time, footsteps were heard in the village.

I couldn't help but stop, thinking to myself, had the conjuring succeeded?

"From from."

Just as I was thinking, Yu Hao walked out of the darkness with a lantern and looked at me helplessly.

I was disappointed, "Why are you?" ”

He raised an eyebrow, "Are you waiting for someone else?" ”

I told him what I was going to do tonight, and at the end I complained, "I thought the conjuring was successful." ”

When he heard this, he immediately darkened his face and looked at me without speaking.

I knew he was angry, and patiently explained to him, "I'll just have this chance, maybe I can get my mother's soul back." ”

He looked at me for a long time, and shook his head helplessly, "You are really bold, summoning souls from the underworld, and if you make a mistake, your soul will be scattered." ”

I kept my head down, not knowing how to refute.

Of course I know what's at stake, but I have to.

Yu Hao handed me the lamp in his hand, took the rune paper from my hand, glanced at it, snorted coldly, and said, "The rune paper is well drawn." ”

As he spoke, he took two steps forward, holding the talisman paper in one hand and the bone bead in the other, and chanted the incantation aloud.

It was all the same incantation, and it came out of his mouth, word by word, as if it were directly hammered into my soul, and I lost my mind for a moment.

I was so good at kung fu, the wind was blowing on all sides, and the sand and rocks were flying in the stockade, and my eyes were almost unable to open.

"Come back quickly." Yu Hao said loudly.

When the words fell, the wind stopped abruptly, and a little bit of light appeared strangely in the stockade.

After a few moments, the light grew brighter and brighter, and I realized it was candlelight.

Figures began to appear in the empty stockade, and I involuntarily took two steps forward, and found that the faces of the people who passed in front of me were full of joy.

Their mouths opened and closed, obviously saying something, but I couldn't hear it.

When Yu Hao saw it, he directly opened the Caiting Palace for me, and said, "They are different from ordinary unjust souls. ”

I nodded, staring intently at the men.

"Xiaoru is back." Another man ran before me, and I heard him clearly.

As soon as he finished speaking, I saw a familiar figure, it was my mother.

She took her bag and walked under the stockade, smiling happily.

It was all like a movie, going fast, and I watched my mom go into the village, hand out gifts, and take pictures with my parents and brothers.

The moment the photo was taken, my mother suddenly shook and looked at me in surprise.

I chuckled in my heart, had I been discovered?

Just as they were worried, everyone in the village stopped, as if they had been pressed the pause button.

"Be careful." Suddenly, a black shadow ran from the forest behind the stockade, I shouted, and just about to drag Yu Hao, he had already turned around and hugged me and retreated.

When the shadow got closer, I realized it was the shadow puppet.

Why is it him again?

But this time it wasn't just him, there was another person behind him, covered so tightly that he couldn't see his face clearly.
