I hurriedly grabbed Zhang Heng, "Brother Zhang, this house is too strange, let's not go in." ”

He patted my hand comfortingly and said, "Don't be afraid, with your brother Zhang here, can you have an accident?" ”

So saying, he followed the old man into the house.

Thinking of the words on the stone plaque, watching him enter, I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and finally my heart was crossed, but I lifted the curtain and walked in.

But before I could step in with one foot, the floor under Zhang Heng's feet suddenly opened, and a boxy hole appeared, and Zhang Heng fell straight down.

"Brother Zhang!" I shouted, lunged over and grabbed him.

I was so far away from him that I grabbed his clothes and saw that he was about to fall in, only to see him stretch out his arms and hold the edge with his hands.

I hurried over to pull him up, but was stopped by the old man who opened the door, who took a scythe and swung it at me.

Zhang Heng exerted force on his waist, sat up, then turned his body, rolled around on the floor, and immediately got up and kicked the old man's back.

The old man stumbled to the ground, and threw aside the sickle in his hand.

Zhang Heng walked towards the old man, the curtain on the north wall was suddenly lifted, and an old woman rushed out with a hoe.

When I saw the old woman's face, I was taken aback that it was the old woman who was showing us the way in the village.

Zhang Heng kicked the hoe away, the old woman didn't stand firmly, hit the wall, and held her waist and screamed.

"Don't you want to sell us the clay figurines?" Zhang Heng said with a sneer.

The old man struggled to sit up and said, "Don't try to buy my clay figurines to harm anyone else." ”

Zhang Heng glanced at me and asked me to speak.

I understood what he meant, put on the standard smile of entertaining guests, and asked, "Uncle, we didn't buy it to hurt people, we really wanted to buy it back for our family." ”

"For whom?" He asked suspiciously.

I said, "To my mom." ”

Speaking of my mother, I feel really uncomfortable.

The old man looked at me for a long time, got up from the ground, put the floor again, and apologized to us, saying, "I'm sorry just now, I thought that you, like the four young men on the previous trip, bought clay figurines to do bad things. ”

The four young men in his mouth should be the four brothers of the Hong family.

Zhang Heng walked up to the old man and said politely: "On the one hand, I came here this time to accompany my sister to buy a clay figurine back, and on the other hand, I also want to know what is going on with this clay figurine." ”

He took out a few pieces of rune paper from his bag and said, "I won't tell you, I'm a Taoist priest, some time ago I met someone who used this clay figure to seal the soul and harm people, which is more powerful than a paper man, I asked a lot of people to find you here." ”

The old man and the old woman looked at each other, their faces full of guilt.

The old woman complained: "It's all your fault, I didn't let you sell it to others at the beginning, you have to sell it." ”

"I'm not going to see how much money they give." The old man sneered.

I interjected, "Uncle, auntie, what the hell is going on?" ”

The old man sighed and said to Zhang Heng: "I see that there is righteousness in your eyes, and I can't live for a few days, since you want to know, I'll tell you." ”

Zhang Heng thanked him and sat on the chair beside him.

"My surname is Lin, I used to live in Miaokeng Village, the ancestral craft of the paper people, a few years ago there was a flood in the village, many people died but could not find the body, originally the village used the paper man as a corpse to dress and bury, but then a Taoist priest came, said that the paper man is light and thin, after all, it is different from people, can summon the soul but can not resoul."

Old man Lin said and deducted a piece of soil from the wall, and said: "The soil near our village is good and sticky, so I tried to use wicker to make bones, and this soil is made of meat, and I made a clay figure. ”

"As a result, the Taoist priest was wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, and he cheated us." Mrs. Lin said indignantly: "After he finished the funeral for the people in the village, he took the money and left, but within a few days, the graves where the clay figures were buried began to make strange noises. ”

Old man Lin sighed and said: "At the beginning, it was said that it was haunted, but it was rumored that it was wrong with those clay figures I made, and my wife and I were kicked out of the village and could only live in this place." ”

"But no, the people in the village have demolished our houses, in this wilderness, the old man and I are worried every day, and the people in the village sometimes have to curse a few words when they pass by, we really can't make the house like this, at least no one dares to come and scold us again." Mrs. Lin echoed.

Zhang Heng frowned and asked, "Then what happened to the four brothers you just mentioned?" ”

Old man Lin said angrily: "That's the four beasts, they just came here and said to buy for the family, the price is very high, after I moved here with my wife, the original land can not be planted, the coffin is about to run out, I looked at the money and agreed, who knows that they pulled the clay figure out of me with the front foot, and replaced the clay man with iron claws on the back foot, and put the clay man on the other side of the col to be transported away overnight." ”

"I don't know how to look dirty, but I know a little bit about it, the col is haunted, and it's definitely not good for them to put the clay figurines that can calm their souls there." He said.

The four brothers of the Hong family never mentioned the mountain col in the end.

"That's it, those four brothers are really not a thing, although the boss is a stupid, but people are scared to death, and then we said not to sell their clay figures, he gave me a fist, I lay in bed for half a month, a young man who came to travel had a quarrel with them, directly let them be killed, stripped off their clothes and thrown on the mountain." Mrs. Lin said.

It seems that the corpse I saw when I came over with Zhang Heng was the young man who was a tourist mentioned by Mrs. Lin.

However, the four brothers of the Hong family are not stupid, even if the body is found when they pull out their clothes, they can't find any clues to their identities.

Zhang Heng frowned and asked, "Which side of the mountain pass?" Why is it haunted? ”

Old man Lin pointed to the southeast and said: "Five or six miles to the southeast, there is a col with the fewest trees, I have never heard of that place haunted before, since five years ago there was a tour group, set up tents in that area at night, and three people died the next day, and then there were people coming one after another, but every time someone had an accident, and over time, the haunted thing spread." “

I frowned secretly, so that's what happened.

As he spoke, Old Man Lin apologized to Zhang Heng and said, "At first, I thought you were with those four brothers, so I pulled the floor open. ”

Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "It's okay, by the way, you just said that you won't live long, what do you mean?" ”

Old man Lin said calmly: "I have stomach cancer. ”

Mrs. Lin lowered her head and wiped her eyes, and went to the kitchen to pour water for the two of us.

I hurried over to help.

"I thought I tricked you into going up the mountain, and you would be scared and go back." Mrs. Lin said with a smile.

I scratched my head and followed her words and asked, "Auntie, why are there so many lonely souls on the mountain?" ”

She also shook her head, "I don't know, it's all in recent years, we used to be very calm here, there was nothing, and I don't know what happened in the past few years." ”

"Do you know what the Taoist priest who helped Miaokeng Village to make a soul conjuring dojo is called?" I asked again.

The Taoist priest left after finishing the dojo, and then the sound that happened in the cemetery must have something to do with him.

Mrs. Lin immediately said: "Remember, it's called Yuan Guofu." ”

I felt like someone had been knocked on a stick, and my temples jumped suddenly,

The dojo in Miaokeng Village turned out to be made by my father!

Was the abnormality in the graveyard intentional or negligent?

I never dreamed that my dad would have something to do with dummies, could it be that my dad is now controlling dummies?

This thought came out of my mind and denied me, and if it was my dad, he would definitely not send a dummy to kill me.

I stood in the kitchen for a long time, and after thinking about it, I still didn't take the initiative to talk to Zhang Heng about being a Taoist priest in the dojo was my father.

After talking to Old Man Lin and his wife, they went to sleep, and I sat in the living room with Zhang Heng.

He said, "Sleep here now, and go to the col they say tomorrow night." ”

"Brother Zhang, why don't you go over during the day?" I asked, puzzled.

He explained: "The immortal family is a yin person in the end, and it is not easy to come out during the day. ”

Zhang Heng and I slept at Old Man Lin's house, and when he left, he also left a deposit for the clay figure, saying that he would let Old Man Lin be a woman.

Old man Lin agreed with a smile and promised to do it well.

When I got out of the Lin family, I asked curiously, "Brother Zhang, do you really want to buy a clay figurine?" ”

He said, "I bought it for you." ”

"Me?" I frowned, "Who did I buy it for?" ”

He replied, "For your mother, I heard that you found your mother's body from the Seven Troubles River, and then you brought it home after cremation, buy a clay figurine, and when we go back this time, I will summon your soul, maybe I can bring her soul back." ”

My eyes lit up, now that my dad was nowhere to be found, if I could bring my mother's soul back, I wouldn't know what was going on in the Seven Tribulations.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang." I hurriedly thanked him.

He smiled, pointed to the front and said: "On this way, I am observing the direction of the mountain, the mountain is extended, undulating, like a small dragon soaring into the air, and the piece in front is located at the end of the mountain, also known as the end of the fall, the last place of the dragon veins is the last place where the dragon veins are angry, and it is a treasure land." ”

I looked in the direction he was pointing, and I saw a recess in the shade of the mountain, and the vegetation was sparse.

"Brother Zhang, it's all like that, it's still a treasure?" I don't believe it.

He said: "Of course, it is a treasure land for burials and a treasure place for nourishing souls and gathering yin. ”

The col he spoke of looked close, but it was far away when we walked seriously, and we walked for more than three hours to reach it.

When I came to the col, I was stunned.

This distance looks like a mountain col, in fact, when you get closer, you can see that the mountain col is actually hard to dig out, and the open space at the foot of the mountain is a pit courtyard, and the layout is similar to the houses in the village.

Compared with this, Old Man Lin's house is completely untable.

On the side of the pit courtyard is a row of grave bags, large and small.

"Brother Zhang, look." I nervously tugged at Zhang Heng's sleeve and pointed to the last grave bag.

I saw a snake crawl out of the grass next to it, circled around the grave bag and went up, and finally pierced its head at the top of the grave bag and went directly into the grave.

I suddenly can't fight, this is the snake grave.

Is that the man of the earth referring to the man in this courtyard underground?

"Go, go down." Zhang Heng took the lead.

I followed him down the stairs, the more I walked, the more strange I felt in my heart, and when I went down completely, I suddenly remembered that this courtyard was very similar to the courtyard of Jiang Shen's house!

However, the building materials of Jiang Shen's yard are better.

Before entering the house, Zhang Heng opened my dark eyes, I turned down the flashlight, and followed him cautiously.

The house was empty, not to mention the clay figurines, not even a piece of furniture.

"Brother Zhang, this ......" Before I finished speaking, Zhang Heng suddenly made a silent gesture to me, he took out a piece of rune paper and threw it on the roof, the rune paper burned into a fireball with a bang, his face turned red instantly, his eyebrows and eyes appeared with the fierceness of a clear wind and a yin fairy, and he climbed the pillar to climb up to the landlord.

I looked up to the roof and was shocked to see four or five dummies clinging to the beams, staring at us.

Yin Immortal manipulated Zhang Heng's body to fight with them, and I hurriedly retreated to the courtyard.

Rush in, I'm afraid of causing trouble for him, and I'm a little reluctant not to go in, and when I was hesitating, I noticed that there seemed to be a face behind the glass window of the west wing of the courtyard.

I chuckled inwardly, and turned my head slowly, and the window really had a blurry human face.

I cautiously walked over and found that the facial features of that face were exactly the same as the seven faces I had seen in the Seven Tribulations, except that this one was a miniature version.

Listening to the sound of ping-pong fighting in the main room, I hesitated, but pushed the door into the west wing.

After entering, I walked to the back of the window, stared at the face, and found that the face was drawn on a thin and transparent piece of paper, thinking that I might be able to see something from this face, but I did not expect that as soon as I looked at it seriously, the face actually slipped from the window to the ground.

I reached out to pick it up, but before my hand could touch it, the facial features of that face suddenly wanted to bulge outwards and become three-dimensional.

I was shocked, it was broken, and something was going to happen.

I was going to run, but it was too late, and a pair of hands pressed on the back of my head and pressed me hard against the face.

With a bang, I hit something hard straight and my nose hurt and my nosebleed came out.

"No, why not?" I was pushed away, and with one hand tore open the face, a woman with a blurred face appeared in front of me.

She had a face, but I couldn't see it clearly.

But before I could see the female ghost in the Sun family's compound, could it be that my ability to see ghosts is for a while?

I was pushed to the ground by the woman, and before I could react, she stepped on me with her foot.

"You're not a ghost?" I asked tentatively.

This woman was thin and small, like skin and bones, her skin seemed to have been rinsed, pale and without lines, and she looked very terrible, but the moonlight shone in through the glass, and she was really shadowed on the ground.

"How could I be that thing?" She said disdainfully.

As she spoke, she approached me and sniffed on me for a long time, "There is indeed a smell of seven phases on my body, but why can't you get in?" ”

"What are the Seven Phases?" I asked.

She slapped me on the head from behind and said sharply, "Where is the place for you to ask the old lady." ”

After scolding, she grabbed me by the collar, "Why can't you get in?" ”

I secretly tried to get up, but my body didn't move, and a layer of sweat broke out on my back.

I said, "That's a piece of paper, of course I can't get in." ”

"Can you see death from the seventh face of the Seven Rivers of Suffering?" She asked.

I nodded honestly.

"Strange, why can't you get in?" Her voice sounded more confused than I was.

I whispered, "Why should I go in?" ”

She raised her hand to slap me again, I immediately turned my head and closed my eyes, who knew that she actually touched my face and sneered: "Yuan Guofu is really ruthless, he didn't tell you anything to save his life." ”

I looked at her in amazement, she knew my dad too.

After speaking, she changed her tone and said, "That's it, I'll tell you today, anyway, you will be mine in the future." ”

She pressed on her feet, making it difficult for me to step on my breath, "The seven phases are the seven faces of the Seven Difficulties River, one face is one phase, the death you see from the seventh face is the death phase, now you can only see your own death from it, if the time comes, you can see anyone's death." ”

She crouched down and pinched my face, "Your father will be able to see everyone's deaths." ”

I was stunned.

Her cold fingers wandered across my face, and her voice became more and more vicious, "You can only solve it if you can see it, I wanted to let you enter the phase to solve my death, but I didn't expect you to be able to, since this is the case, there is no need for you to live." ”

Her fingers rested on her neck, their tips pressing down, and I could clearly feel her piercing my skin.

My heart was beating faster and faster, my teeth were chattering, tears were streaming uncontrollably down the corners of my eyes, and I didn't want to die here.

I shouted frantically in my heart: Yu Hao, save me, help me.

"Let her go." Yu Hao suddenly appeared, pinched her shoulder, and directly threw her to the ground.

She rolled around on the ground, stood up and sneered: "Who should I be, it turned out to be a little ghost raised by Yuan Guofu." ”

Hearing this, I looked at Yu Hao in surprise and forgot to cry.

Yu Hao's face was gloomy, he didn't even say a word, and hit her directly.

Although the woman is not Yu Hao's opponent, she is unforgiving, "I sent so many dummies and failed to kill her, I thought she had already seen through the death to avoid it again and again, but I didn't expect you to protect her, you have followed Yuan Guofu for so many years, and now that he is missing, you are really loyal to follow his daughter again." ”

Yu Hao punched her right shoulder, the woman's right hand hung down weakly, and the smile on her face became even bigger, "What's so good about you following Yuan Guofu?" He even had his wife Liu Qing do it, and killed him in the Seven Hardships River with his own hands, you are just a little ghost raised by him, what good results can you have? ”

When the words fell, Yu Hao kicked her in the stomach, she hit the wall and fell to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Liu Qing is my father's wife?

No, my mother's name is not Liu Qing.

Yu Hao pinched her neck and lifted her up, gritted his teeth and said, "Whether I have a good result or not, you are destined not to see it." ”

When the words fell, he only heard two clicks, and he pinched the woman's neck stiffly.

The woman's head drooped to the side, and at the same time, a black shadow jumped out from the woman's feet, about to run to the door, Yu Hao's figure flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the black shadow, and a five thunder talisman slapped over, and a burst of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and the black shadow was instantly torn apart.

Yu Hao threw the woman's corpse casually, walked up to me, bowed his head and asked, "Did you hear it?" ”

I nodded, watched his gaze sink to the ground, and then quickly shook his head.

He snorted, his face softened considerably, and lifted me up from the ground.

I held his arm and stood firm, tentatively asking, "Is what she said true?" ”

Yu Hao turned out to be the little ghost raised by my father back then, which is simply too exciting.

"It's not." He explained: "Your father helped me, I owe him a favor, promised him to stay with him and protect him for twenty years, but after only ten years he disappeared, so I can only come to you." ”

I see.

"Do you know everything about the Seven Rivers of Trouble and the Seven Faces?" I wondered.

He shook his head and said helplessly: "If I knew it, I would still need to run around with you?" I can't find your parents after they left home, and I don't know what your dad has been doing all these years. ”

"Then Liu Qing is my mother?" It occurred to me that I was reminded of this.

He was a little weak and whispered, "Yes." ”

"But it's not that name in the household register, and the year of birth is different." I retorted.

"Liu Qing is the name she used to use in the Seven Tribulations, and as for the year of birth, it is correct in your household registration book." He said: "In the life-stealing dojo arranged in the backyard of Zhang Wang's house, you didn't take away your mother's life at all, it was just a pretense to stimulate you to go to the Seven Troubles River." ”

I glared at him, "What was the name of the woman you killed just now?" ”

He said: "What should be called Zi, I only saw her once, when she came to your dad to see her face, your dad saw her death, but she didn't believe it, she didn't even listen to how to solve it and died, and she didn't even believe what your dad said, and when she came to look for your dad again, your dad was already missing, and he couldn't find your dad before he would attack you." ”

Only then did I understand the ins and outs of the matter, the woman named Zi asked me to force me out of the county seat, get out of the protection of the Wuyue Array, so that I could enter the phase and relieve her of the death calamity.

But looking at her behavior just now when she wanted me to get into that piece of paper, could it be that the image in her mouth was really me getting into the paper?

No, I shook my head, this way of entering the phase is nine times out of ten wrong, so how should I get into the phase?

His eyes inadvertently swept over Yu Hao, and now I can understand the reason why he approached me, in order to fulfill the agreement with my father.

So when he said he wanted to be nice to me during this time, was he sincere or was he teasing me?

I cleared my throat, "Yu Hao, you ......"

"Yuan Congcong!" With a loud shout, Qingfeng Yin Immortal kicked open the door and ran in.

The moment he came in, Yu Hao flashed away.

I slapped my head and secretly scolded myself for being confused, I still had the leisure to talk to Yu Hao here just now, and I should have gone to help Zhang Heng as soon as possible.

Yin Immortal walked around the room, suddenly grabbed my arm hard, and asked in a cold voice, "You were using the Five Thunder Talisman just now?" ”

"It's me." I say.

He looked at me and asked, "Then tell me, what is the spell that drives the Five Thunder Talismans?" How do I draw a symbol? ”

"I won't, I can use the talisman paper that my dad left for me." I don't say it in the slightest.

I don't want them to know that there's a ghost around me.

He let go of me, picked up the remaining half of the Five Thunder Talismans and looked at them carefully, distinguishing the real from the fake.

My heart was in my throat, and I was already thinking about how to run out quickly.

"Well, it's your dad's handwriting." He said.

Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, he said with a calm face, "But there's a familiar smell in this room." ”

"What's the breath?" I asked curiously.

"The breath of my nemesis." He said lightly.
