Chapter 7: Deserted Mansions
Ku Ye stood in the deserted courtyard, staring blankly at the yellowed withered vines, the two big trees in the yard were already bald, and the ground was full of yellow leaves, and the grass roots that came out of the cracks in the bluestone slabs were entangled, stepping on them, making a rustling sound.
It's autumn, the wooden door is covered with layers of spider silk, and the window lintel is covered with thick dust, and it looks like it has been abandoned for many years.
However, it just seems that in this barren mountain range, even if someone passes by, they will never think that there are still people living here, and they have lived there for more than ten years.
It was the second time he had been here, and it had been many years ago in the summer, and he had come to confess his sins and almost gave his last half life.
The second time, he didn't know what the outcome would be, but it shouldn't be much better, after all, the old man had never been very optimistic about him, and his own life was just a burden in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and put those unpleasant thoughts behind him, squatted down, took out a stick of Sanhe incense from his pocket, stuck it on the ground, and lit it.
Incense was given by Ah Yan when he was still normal. It was the secret technique of the Mo family, and he didn't know it, but he also knew that lighting this incense could summon the old man back to preside over the overall situation.
But he didn't want to use it, but let her mess around, although he just watched from the sidelines, he was happy to clean up the mess, and he got the name of the little wolf dog. Later, after the domestic madness was over, he took her abroad to go crazy, and he protected her crazy for nearly seven years, and finally looked forward to her returning after losing her soul.
Not for anything else, just to fight for the breath of the year, let the old man see that he is the only one who can be Ah Yan's eyes. He didn't want to deal with the old man, but since Ah Yan had spoken this time, he didn't mind being angry at this monster who was half buried in the soil.
After a long time, he sensed that there seemed to be someone inside who was angry and took the lead in opening his mouth, "Ah Yan is back." ”
"How many times?" The old man's voice was still clear and loud, and it could be seen that he had been in retreat for all these years, and his body was still very strong.
"What first few times?" He pretended to be confused.
"Huh." The old man inside snorted, "I don't have eyes and ears if you have them, don't forget how you know them came from." ”
"Master, I don't understand."
"Alright, boy, don't pretend to be confused. These wings are a lot harder, and I've been kidnapping my granddaughter for all these years. What's the matter, now you're in trouble? Do you know that the old man is looking for me to come out and clean up the mess? ”
"Master, you're laughing."
"Heh, what about the grandfather?"
"Don't forget, I'm also from your age, and I know more or less your thoughts.
Little wolf dog, heh, this nickname really suits you. You can't tell what you're scolding me for, right?
Yes, compared to you, I am indeed old. Since you think of your heart, if you think of me, call me an old man, right? If you don't read it, it doesn't matter.
I really lost my eyes and almost lost your life, and I want to apologize to you for that. It's just a pity that Ah Yan planted a solitary burial on you, and you happened to be in danger, which also caused her to be the first to find you when she came back......"
"Do you really know that?" Ah Ye was stunned, and the good mood that he had planned to fool around disappeared.
"Do you believe it?" But it was the old man inside who lured him to the bait with a half-hanging breath.
"I ...... Letter. ”
"You believe it?" He asked, and replied, "I don't believe it myself." ”
“……”
"Green onions, they're still old and chewy. You, you're still too tender, my casual words can make you believe most of it, your psychological quality is not up to par, and you still need to practice. ”
"I'm ......," Ah Ye shook his head to sober himself up.
This old man has this ability to make people crazy, he can always inexplicably lead people to other places, and when he comes back to his senses, he has traveled 108,000 miles, the language is like this, and the methods of the past are even more so. It is said that this person also has a quirk, he likes to be happy when he is in retreat, and he is also a dozen accurate on the rivers and lakes, not to mention how many personalities he has, so that people have to wonder how far this person's eyes see and how long his hands stretch, because of this ghostly spirit, after the death of his father Mo Lao Demon, he also earned the name of an old ghost.
Therefore, the old people in the Seven Gates and the Seven Divisions that developed later did not dare to step into the Mo family after many years of retreat, and the people on the rivers and lakes had more or less heard the rumors and had some scruples, and they had nothing to do with each other over the years.
After all, such a treacherous person is incomprehensible, who knows if he is really in retreat or hiding in the shadows and playing some conspiracy?
"The same vision as the last time, Ah Yan seems to be coming back." He told the truth, and it was good news. But the shadow on the moon made him feel that something was wrong in his heart, and his premonition benefited from the last punishment of the one inside.
"Vision?" The old ghost inside coughed with a wicked smile, "Are you tired of it?" Huo'er's words should be very difficult to deal with, right? ”
"Are you an old man?" Ku Ye held his forehead and thought: Isn't it that the old man starved to death inside and was dropped by someone?
"yes!" The old ghost of Mo dealt with it calmly, "Little wolf dog, I admit that I misunderstood you before, but your misunderstanding of me is too deep, right?" Am I like that old naughty boy? ”
"Like."
Silence, long silence.
"Well, that's right." Mo Lao Ghost Xu hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and his temper was much better. "This time, you've passed."
“……”
"Tell me, what's the situation? If you accidentally let Ah Yan lose his soul or lose his soul, be careful that I will wipe the burial alone first, and then send you to feed a worm. He continued, "Or, throw you into the Ten Thousand Bat Mountain, the Yin Snake Cave and the Black Blind Cave to try the taste of peeling and peeling and breaking bones, and perhaps, you can learn a new skill!" Don't forget to thank me when the time comes. ”
"So vicious, I believe you are an old man." A rare smile fell from Ku Ye's face, "But old man, you're wrong." The miasma she planted can only be solved by the two souls and three spirits that are coming back now, so don't think about it. ”
"Yo, it's different when little transparent becomes a little wolf dog."
After the old man felt it, he also put away the joke, "If you let me go out of the mountain, now is not the time." ”
"But Yan Yan's body doesn't seem to be unusual, so I'm not sure if Ah Yan encountered some accidents on the way back."
"You're her eyes, don't you count?"
"No, I can't calculate, there seems to be a fog in front of me." His eyes darkened as he looked inside the room, "I thought that person was you." ”
"Her eyes, I can only dust and not throw sand." The old man sighed and said, "You go back first, although you can't come openly, but I will pay attention to it secretly." ”
"The day you have to wait is Ah Yan......"
"Shhhh
"Old man, are you also here?" Ku Ye looked around in surprise, but felt that this was just the old man teasing himself.
"Who knows? The insects don't scream anymore. ”
