The lid of the coffin was suddenly lifted, and I was shaken for a moment, and when I opened it again, I saw two men standing on either side of the coffin, looking at us and laughing.

But their eyes were clear, and they untied the rope for us, and sighed, "What did you good girls do, why did you get here?" ”

Zheng Huanying and I came out of the coffin and found that we were on the stone platform of the small port, and turned to see that Huang Shanjun had already left by boat.

I started beating the drum in my heart, and asked with a smile, "Big brother, is this the water land?" ”

The two men nodded and said, "Yes, here it is, you two girls...... Ay. ”

Zheng Huanying and I looked at each other, both worried.

This water is actually a small island, and in the middle of the island is a low hill, and on the opposite side of us are houses, built against the mountain, layer by layer.

For some reason, when I saw this island, I remembered the same island I had been to last time I went to look for the Maskless Mask.

On the way, Zheng Huanying and I tried a lot of ways to ask something from the mouths of those two men, but they didn't say anything, only told us two girls to be careful, if we want to live here, we must at least find a backer.

He also said that money is something outside the body, and life is the most important thing.

The two of us were even more drummers, not knowing what the hell was going on.

The two of us left in front of the row of houses, and Zheng Huanying and I looked at each other with our bags in our arms.

"Up?" She asked.

I took a closer look and said, "Seeing that these houses don't look like people live in them, let's find a random one to hide in and find out the situation." ”

I looked at the third room on the right and looked okay, so I led Zheng Huanying over, and as soon as I walked to the door of the room, I heard an angry shout from inside: "Get out." ”

I was scared and trembled, what's going on?

Through the half-shattered window, I looked inside, and there were three dirty men sitting inside, staring at us with fierce eyes, and their clothes could be seen to be Taoist robes.

Zheng Huanying and I hurriedly retreated and began to look at the other houses, and found that there were people in the bottom row, and the higher you go, the fewer people there were, and when we reached the house on the first floor on the top of the mountain, there was no one inside.

Zheng Huanying and I went to the back to look again, and after seeing the situation on the back, I gasped.

On the back of this is a graveyard layer by layer, some of the graveyards are dilapidated, some are majestic, the tombstones are wiped clean, and many of the cemeteries are gathered with a thick yin qi, obviously there are ghosts.

Cold sweat broke out on my back, what kind of place is this, the front of the house is dilapidated, and the inside is shrunk like a lost dog, and the back is the graveyard of a terrible ghost.

Zheng Huanying and I didn't dare to go down, so we chose a room on the third floor of the front and got in.

Once inside, I took out all the rune paper from my bag, stuffed some of it into the crack in the wall, covered it with clods of earth, and put the rest in my pocket.

Seeing me do this, Zheng Huanying did the same.

"I really didn't expect the water to be like this." Zheng Huanying said: "In the past, I used to be a prison for Taoist priests, and I was tortured and tortured inside, and then I was released when the time came. ”

I whispered, "Trust me, it's more terrible than a prison." ”

And that night my words were fulfilled.

As the sun set, Zheng Huanying and I were discussing to find something to eat, when suddenly four men stood in front of the room where the two of us were staying, looking at us viciously.

I chuckled in my heart, this is a robbery?

Zheng Huanying and I stood up and stood guarded.

Within two minutes, seven or eight more men came, but they were all standing motionless in the doorway.

But my heart was lifted.

If it were four people, Zheng Huanying and I would still be able to fight desperately, but at the moment there are more than a dozen men, and the two of us are really not opponents.

The further I went, the more my heart sank, for there were more than forty people standing outside our house, including seven or eight women.

The men stood for a moment, then made a way, and a man who was relatively well-dressed walked in and said, "You newcomers don't know our rules here, and you have to go to the back cemetery on the first day, and you can come out alive tomorrow morning before you are entitled to live in your room." ”

Zheng Huanying was about to step forward, but I grabbed her.

"Okay, let's go." I say.

The man was stunned and stared at me, "Don't play tricks, you can't play with me." ”

I replied, "How dare I, there are so many of you." ”

After speaking, I took Zheng Huanying and walked out, but when I was about to reach the door, those people did not get out of the way.

I looked at the man who was talking and asked, "I don't know what you call it?" ”

"This is our Spirit Master." A woman said.

I sneered in my heart, they are all hard-working people on the island, and they have to be divided into three, six, nine and so on.

"Lingye, what do you mean by this?" I asked.

He looked at me and Zheng Huanying and said, "We still have a rule here, after coming here, we must take out the money on our bodies." ”

I can understand why those two men persuaded us that money was something outside of our bodies.

I pointed to the bag in the corner, "It's all in there, just go get it." ”

Ling Ye looked at us, "You guys are very calm. ”

I ignored him and said to the men, "Get out of the way." ”

They looked at Lingye.

"Let's." Lingye said.

Zheng Huanying and I came out of the house and went straight to the cemetery at the back, and those people followed us all the time, watching us enter the cemetery before turning around and walking back.

I took the opportunity to kick the last man in the leg socket and kicked him in the head at the same time, dragging him into the graveyard with Zheng Huanying.

When those people found out and wanted to go back, I sneered and said, "You have the ability to come in." ”

They looked at each other, and finally tacitly ignored the man's shouts and left.

I took a dagger out of my pocket, put it around the man's neck, and said, "What the hell is going on here?" ”

The man's body trembled, and he could clearly be terrified of the graveyard.

I said, "If you don't say it, stay here tonight with us, there is just one to do it." ”

"This is the graveyard of the water." He hurriedly said: "There are not only people who have committed crimes in the water, but also some evil spirits that cannot be transcended are also sealed here, there is a magic circle on the island, and they can't get out, so this island is ......"

"Humans and demons fighting each other?" Zheng Huanying said.

The man nodded.

"Then why are the two of us coming in tonight?" I asked.

He said: "Every time a new person enters the cemetery first, he can get out of the hands of the evil spirits and last, and if he can't give the evil spirits the rations at that time, every time the evil spirits kill someone, they will be quiet for a few days." ”

I clasped my hands together and asked, "Who is that Lingye?" ”

"Lingye is very capable, and he knows the evil ghosts here, it is said that in the past, the evil ghosts would pounce on the front to slaughter wantonly at night, and then the Lingye and the evil ghosts agreed to send two people every five days, and if they could kill them, they would give them away, and if they couldn't, they wouldn't chase them out." He said.

I let go of him, and he ran out of the graveyard.

Zheng Huanying said: "I think we were cheated by the sixth master, so we shouldn't have come over at that time." ”

I smiled wryly and said, "Do we have a choice?" ”

She sat down on the ground in frustration and said, "Why don't we run out now?" ”

"You take a closer look around, it's not easy for us to go out." I said, pointing around.

She looked at me suspiciously, looked around carefully, and cursed, "What can I do?" ”

This grave is not big or small, Ling Ye has already led more than forty people to surround the cemetery, and the two of us will be surrounded by them even if we run out.

"Stay in the cemetery, set up a magic circle and maybe hold out until dawn, if you go out, you will only be beaten by people, and you haven't noticed? The people here, the more torn the clothes, the more sloppy the people, the more fierce the eyes. I sighed and said, "That's not the eyes that a normal Taoist priest can have, it's more like an animal, a selfish and irritable animal." ”

Zheng Huanying twisted her eyebrows and said, "It's really true when you say that." ”

I patted her on the shoulder and said, "Stay here, we two can't beat people, and there is still a glimmer of hope for dealing with ghosts." ”

She sighed heavily and repeated the sentence: "I feel that the two of us have been pitted by the sixth master." ”

I opened my yin eyes, found a place where the yin qi was relatively weak, and sat down, "It's true, but it's still the same sentence, the two of us don't have the right to choose, that is, Huang Shanjun explained the situation here before coming in, and we still have to come in." ”

She muttered, "It doesn't feel good to be in someone else's hands." ”

I raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "You're not the same as before, you never said such things before, you always stood on the shelf and spoke some official language." ”

She smiled: "At that time, I represented the Zheng family, of course, I had to hold the shelf, and I couldn't do anything that would disgrace the Zheng family, but now it doesn't matter, the Zheng family has fallen, what am I afraid of?" ”

It makes sense.

The two of us worked together to set up a circle, and then sat down in the center of the circle, and she took my hand and said, "Don't be afraid. ”

"Okay." I answered.

The two of us chose a location halfway up the hill, and we could see the sea as soon as we looked up.

I think of Yu Hao, and I don't know where he is now? If he knew I was coming to the water, he would have gone crazy.

At night, five paces away from us was a cemetery, with cracked graves and evil spirits.

Compared to the rest of the cemetery, this is already the place where the yin qi is weakest.

At eleven o'clock, the graveyard began to blow slowly, accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps, and listening to the footsteps were coming towards us.

Within two minutes, I saw a number of footprints on all sides, walking around the formation arranged by me and Zheng Huanying, as if looking for an opportunity to rush in.

I took out the talisman paper from my pocket and watched as the ghosts gradually became clearer, and although I couldn't see their faces clearly, I could see the general appearance.

After looking at it for a while, I noticed a problem, these ghosts don't seem to be afraid of our magic circle, but waiting for some kind of command.

Sure enough, as soon as I thought of this, I heard a long beep, and I couldn't tell what it was, but the ghosts turned towards us like crazy.

The runes we had laid on the ground burned one after another, and the ghosts that rushed up first were on fire and lay on the ground wailing, but the ones behind them still rushed forward desperately as if they didn't see it.

I wielded the peachwood sword and slapped the rune paper in my hand on the head of the ghost at the front, and the peachwood sword plunged into his body.

The ghost was torn apart in an instant.

Zheng Huanying's talisman and I are powerful, but there are too many lonely souls in this graveyard, and the further back it goes, the more powerful it becomes, I don't know the pain is like a puppet controlled by others, and we are all a little lacking in energy at the end, and the rune paper can't be used.

"Ahh Zheng Huanying screamed, I turned my head to see that her right arm was grabbed by a ghost, and there were several black handprints immediately.

I hurriedly swung my sword and slashed over.

She covered her arms, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and said: "I used to see a ghost beating drums in my heart, but today there are countless lonely souls around me, I think if I can get out alive, I can play with my children for the rest of my life." ”

I glanced at him and admired that she still had the heart to laugh.

I took out the last piece of rune paper from my pocket, which Yu Hao drew for me, and I brought a total of one.

I was afraid that the rune paper would be snatched away by them, and I hid some of it, so I knew that I wouldn't hide it, but if I think about it carefully, even if I don't hide it, I won't have the strength to use the rune paper later.

I took a deep breath, and as the lonely spirits rushed up again, I threw the rune paper into the air and yelled, "Hurry the spell." ”

The rune paper burned with a bang, and the ghost that was stained with fire disappeared in an instant.

As the rune paper burned, my nose heated, and I wiped it behind me, and I found that I had started to bleed.

There was some weakness in front of me, and I called the old physiognomist a few times, but he didn't respond.

I smiled bitterly and said, "Zheng Huanying, I seem to have been burdened by you, I thought that with the ability of the two of us, I should be able to hold on here all night, but now it seems that I am thinking too much." ”

She said: "No, even if we don't come in by ourselves, those people will beat us both in, and we can walk in decently." ”

I pinched the peachwood sword in my hand, and I was ready to use the blood talisman, but I didn't want a long roar to sound in the air again, and those lonely souls slowly retreated and stopped attacking.

"What's going on?" Zheng Huanying asked.

I said, "Is it an intermission?" ”

After a while, the lonely souls dispersed and did not reappear until dawn.

Zheng Huanying and I sat back to back, waited until the sky was white and the sun came out, and we both sat on the ground with weak legs.

I finally got through it.

After a long time, the two of us helped each other out of the cemetery, and Lingye stood on the top of the mountain, looking at us with complicated eyes.

I looked at him and said, "I hope you mean what you say." ”

He smiled slightly, "Of course." ”

With that, he turned to leave.

Zheng Huanying and I went back to the room where we stayed before, leaning against the corner, the two of us looked at each other, laughed at first, and after a while both of us couldn't help crying.

"From here, I really think the two of us are going to die in the graveyard." She cried.

I wiped my eyes, "Who isn't." ”

She wondered, "Why didn't those ghosts dare to rush forward later?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Probably the person who controls them behind them doesn't want our lives." ”

"It should be." She pulled out a bottle of medicine from the corner of the wall, handed me a few tablets, and said, "Take a few tablets, it will work wonders." ”

You're welcome, I swallowed it directly.

"The sixth master asked us to come to the Fan family in the water, is it because he suspects that they are mixed in this group of people?" After Zheng Huanying finished speaking, she suddenly smiled, shook her head and said: "No, Fan Rou values face the most, as well as cleanliness, making her unkempt and dirty, no less than asking for her life." ”

I said: "The Fan family will not be among those people, when they rebelled, they took away a lot of the property and manpower of the sixth master, which is equivalent to leaving the scenery and will not come to this place to suffer, but since the sixth master said that they are in the water, it should not be wrong, so I think there must be other places in the water." ”

Zheng Huanying slapped her face and echoed: "Yes, it's very likely." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, another person came to the door, carrying a broken bag.

Coming into contact with our gaze, the man shuddered, threw the broken bag into the house, turned around and ran.

Zheng Huanying and I glanced at each other, and after waiting to make sure there was no other movement, I stepped forward and dragged the bag to the corner of the house, and opened it to see that it was potatoes inside.

"This can't be for us, is it?" She said disgustedly.

I grabbed the dagger, "You wait in the house, I'll go out and have a look." ”

I walked around the third row of houses, and finally found the man who brought us potatoes in the last row, and he was the only one in the room, and I pulled him out of the house and asked fiercely, "What do you mean by the potatoes delivered?" ”

He stammered a little, and it took me a long time to understand that he was really for us to eat.

"Everybody?" I asked.

He shook his head and said, "We are too weak to eat vegetable seedlings." ”

I let go of him and looked into the room next to him, where there were two emaciated old men, cowering in the corner and munching on half-rotted vegetable seedlings.

And this man also showed a few vegetable seedlings in his arms.

"Who decides this?" I asked with a frown.

He said, "Master Ling, he said what kind of food he has the ability to eat." ”

"He asked you to make rice seedlings, don't you hate him?" I asked.

He hurriedly shook his head and stammered: "Originally, the people at the foot of the mountain wanted to roast me as a beast and eat it, but it was the spirit master who stopped them, with the spirit master here, I could still have a mouthful of vegetables and seedlings to eat, without him, I would have been roasted by those beasts." ”

My stomach felt sick when I heard it, I really didn't expect that there was such a place in the world.

I turned around and walked back, and saw Zheng Huanying pulling those potatoes in disgust, and after telling her what she had just asked, she was stunned for a long time, and immediately picked up the potatoes carefully, "It seems that Master Ling thinks that the two of us still have some ability." ”

I found a wooden stick and dug a pit in the house, then lit a fire in it, and when I saw that I was almost done, I threw the potatoes into the ash heap, and said, "I think that the one who found the Fan family relied on this spiritual master." ”

Zheng Huanying agreed, saying: "I think too. ”

"Huanhuan, you said that those lonely souls suddenly retreated yesterday, is it the reason for the talisman you used at the end?" She said suddenly.

I paused, frowned, and said, "Why do you say that?" ”

She replied, "I just thought that it was because they suddenly retreated after your rune paper was burned, something was wrong. ”

I licked the corners of my mouth, if that's the case, it means that there is a ghost there who knows Yu Hao.

But if you think about it carefully, it's unlikely, how could Yu Hao have a connection with the evil ghosts of the water and land.

"Unlikely, you think, I also used the talisman before, and they are not afraid." I said, thanks to Zheng Huanying, I don't know that the talisman was drawn by Yu Hao.

She tilted her head, "too." ”

After the two of us had eaten enough, we thought about sleeping against the wall for a while, but I didn't think that as soon as I closed my eyes, I heard shouts outside, I was so frightened that I quickly stood up, and looked out of the window, and saw a boat coming from the sea outside, and someone carried down two coffins from it, and at the same time a woman who lived on the second floor got on the boat.

When she got on board, the woman cried and laughed, knelt on the board and banged her head on the ground, and it took half an hour for her to calm down.

Zheng Huanying took out a telescope like a trick and said with a solemn expression: "Look at her face." ”

I took it and looked at the woman's body, and suddenly her scalp was numb, she had a terrible scar on her left and right cheeks and forehead, and there were also scars of different shades on her body, she looked thin, but her joints were very thick.

She stood on the deck and looked at the sky, and there was no joy in her eyes, but dead silence, no light.

I was terrified to watch.

"She has a bad talent, she hasn't learned much Taoism, she has a serious job, and she usually takes on small jobs to make extra money, but she was unlucky, and she was involved in a dispute between the two factions, and was finally pushed out as a scapegoat and sent to the water to be punished."

As she spoke, a woman in camouflage uniform and shaved head walked over, looked at the woman on the boat with a blank face, and continued: "She was originally very beautiful, but on the first day she came here, she was taken by the beasts on the lowest floor, and she was ...... at night."

She paused and said, "But she can do it to herself, and the next day she will draw her face and attract a lonely soul to seal her soul, so that she can stay in this place to expire." ”

My heart trembled, "Will she seal the soul?" ”

Didn't you say that only the people of the Jiang family would seal the soul?

The woman looked at us and said, "Everyone here will be, and the back mountain is an evil ghost, if you are willing to dedicate yourself to the evil ghost, you can also go to the spirit master to seal the soul." ”

I realized once again that it is not simple here, the Jiang family's soul sealing that is regarded as a secret technique outside, everyone can do it here.

"Who are you?" Zheng Huanying asked.

The woman entered the house, sat on the edge of the pit, unceremoniously picked up a baked potato and said, "My name is Xu Nan, I am different from you, I came in on purpose." ”

I thought to myself, too, on purpose.

But I still had a surprised look on my face, "Why did you come in voluntarily?" ”

She said: "I want to find someone, and if I find him, I will break him into pieces, skin him and cramp." ”

She said this in a flirtatious tone, but I knew she would.

Zheng Huanying sat down across from her and asked, "How did you come in voluntarily?" Random accusations? ”

She glanced at us and said lightly: "No, I made a mistake on purpose, although I didn't find the person I was looking for, I found his son." ”

She hooked the corners of her mouth, as if thinking of something extremely pleasant: "His son was only three days old, and I extinguished the yang fire on his son's shoulders in front of his daughter-in-law, attracting a lonely soul nearby, and his son died after half a month. ”

My scalp was about to explode, and Zheng Huanying asked sharply: "You are too vicious." ”

She smiled, "What's so vicious about this, do you know who his daughter-in-law is?" My stepmother, they used the lonely soul to scare my mother to death, and sacrificed my brother to a ghost, and I watched him be devoured by the ghost. ”
