A delicate face poked out of the door - Guo Yunxiang.

After seeing Ding Xiaocong, Guo Yunxiang immediately became excited, and walked in directly without being greeted by the host, only then did everyone notice that she was carrying a clay pot in her hand, still steaming.

"My mother asked me to bring you something delicious." Guo Yunxiang put the jar in front of Ding Xiaocong and sat down next to him.

There was a chicken stewed in the jar, it was fragrant, Ding Xiaocong immediately moved his index finger, said "thank you", scooped it up and began to chew.

"Yo yo yo, why don't you have my share?" Hua Hongying deliberately shouted in a strange tone on the side, Guo Yunxiang glanced at him and ignored him.

The old village chief who was sitting opposite him cautiously asked, "Little master, can you find out the reason?" ”

In fact, after a day of on-site investigation, Ding Xiaocong had some conjectures, but some things had not yet been figured out, and it was not easy to say them for the time being, so he shook his head, saying that he was not sure of anything for the time being.

After finishing the meal, Ding Xiaocong asked the old village chief for a straw mat, and went out with it. Hua Hongying hurriedly chased after her and asked, "Master shallot, where are you going?" ”

Ding Xiaocong smiled gloomily, and said mysteriously: "I'm going to sleep in the water mill tonight, will you come?" ”

Hua Hongying's mouth opened wide, and she subconsciously let go of her hand and took a step back, shaking her head like a rattle. Ding Xiaocong forgave him for being timid, he didn't intend to tell him, since he asked, he would scare and scare him, and he retreated as soon as he was scared, but he didn't see it, Guo Yunxiang's eyes lit up when he heard his words.

Got rid of Hua Hongying, Ding Xiaocong just turned around and was about to go out, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and Guo Yunxiang followed.

"What are you doing?" Ding Xiaocong didn't know why.

Guo Yunxiang looked excited, and said generously: "I'll accompany you to catch ghosts!" ”

Everyone shuddered, including Ding Xiaocong, "What are you kidding?" That's where you go? ”

Guo Yunxiang did not flinch, her face was flushed with excitement, and she looked directly at Ding Xiaocong, "I have always remembered your words, I am not afraid!" ”

Does this count as a reason? In the eyes of the layman, this is simply ridiculous, but in the eyes of the insider, this is the biggest reason, not to be afraid, is the most basic condition.

After staring at Guo Yunxiang for a full minute, Ding Xiaocong finally let off his breath, turned around and left, his eyes were sour, and he kept smiling, and he didn't react at all. In that case, if you want to go, go ahead.

Guo Yunxiang rushed out after Ding Xiaocong, Ding Xiaocong couldn't understand her, it was one thing to be afraid or not, but she was a girl, how could she be so interested in these strange things?

The sky was already completely dark, the full moon climbed up the east mountain, the stars overhead were dense, the outside of the village was quiet, the water mill was in front, the black hole was getting closer and closer, even Ding Xiaocong felt a trace of pressure.

"Hey, shallot, you say, is it really haunted?" Guo Yunxiang's voice came from behind him, which startled Ding Xiaocong. He wanted to cry without tears, his classmates had been so bold for three years, he didn't see that she was so bold, he was a little nervous, how could she still have the leisure to ask this?

However, he patiently answered this question.

In the perception of ordinary people, these things are called "ghosts", but in fact, this is a wrong concept, and most of the troubles are just the souls of the dead. What does a real ghost look like? You can refer to Qu Yuan's "Mountain Ghost", which is almost the same level as God, and has gone beyond the category of thinking body.

As for the soul, it doesn't bite you, it doesn't pinch you, it's just the thoughts of the dead, and it's very unspecific. If the viciousness is enough, the soul can interfere with your thinking, and even completely control it, so it is important to "not be afraid" when dealing with these things.

Ding Xiaocong's identity is a ghost and witch, and with the improvement of his cultivation in the future, one day he will be able to leave the body, go out of the body, and exist in the world completely in the state of the soul, and at that time, he will be a veritable "ghost".

In ancient times, the ultimate state reached by other great witches was to become gods, but ghosts and witches became ghosts.

While chatting, the two walked to the edge of the water mill, stopped, and listened attentively.

"Strange." After listening for a while, Guo Yunxiang said to herself in confusion: "I heard that ghosts can be heard crying here, especially at night, why can't I hear anything?" Isn't that thing on duty tonight? ”

Ding Xiaocong almost amused her, is there anyone who gets off work on duty?

"Don't talk about that, let's go and have a look first." Ding Xiaocong took the straw mat and entered the water mill.

When I entered the mill, I felt the light rope and the light was lit, and under the illumination of 15 candles, the atmosphere of the mill at night was completely different from that during the day, and it seemed that there was an indescribable feeling and a little depressing.

The mill was large, the innermost part was the huge stone mill, and the rest of the place was covered with hay for the stacking of grain, which was now empty.

Ding Xiaocong laid out the straw mat at the outermost position against the wall, ordered Guo Yunxiang to sit here, and then began to walk towards the stone mill.

After taking two steps, Ding Xiaocong looked back, Guo Yunxiang's eyes were wide open, and she looked at herself for a moment, and her expression began to become nervous. Looking at her posture, I was hoping that something would suddenly pop out of the stone mill and hug her.

Ding Xiaocong was also speechless, she looked like an honest girl, why is this?

Walking to the edge of the stone mill, Ding Xiaocong carefully checked it again, but still found nothing, his witch eyes couldn't penetrate such a thick stone mill, even if there was really anything inside, he couldn't see it. In fact, it is said that this situation does not exist, the grain that has been milled by stone for hundreds of years, and the yang energy contaminated on it is strong and terrifying, and it is like a small sun in the eyes of witches, and it is impossible for any evil spirit to stay in it.

As for the cries that were loud, there was no such thing at all, only the sound of wind and water, and occasionally a few crickets.

After some inconclusive inspection, Ding Xiaocong came back dejected, sat side by side with Guo Yunxiang, and looked at the stone mill in a daze.

Are all the rumors false? Shouldn't it......

Then the two of them sat there and waited for a long time, staring at the cold stone mill like fools.

Time passed minute by minute, and when Guo Yunxiang was sleepy, Ding Xiaocong finally couldn't stand it anymore, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already half past 12 in the morning. He was a little annoyed and angry, and dialed Hua Hongying's phone.

"Hey, what's going on over there, what's wrong?" As soon as the phone was connected, Hua Hongying's eager voice came from the other end, obviously they had not slept and waited nervously.

"There's a!" Ding Xiaocong sprayed into the phone, "We've been waiting for half the night, and there's no crying at all, you shouldn't be kidding me, right?" ”

"No?" Hua Hongying was also dumbfounded, and then Ding Xiaocong also heard the voice of the old village chief, "I heard it last night, how could it be ......?"

"Are you sure you haven't?" Hua Hongying was also a little angry and yelled at Ding Xiaocong, isn't this a joke.

Ding Xiaocong was about to yell back, when he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Then during the day today, did anything happen in the water mill?" ”

Hua Hongying was stunned for a moment, and then she should have handed over the mobile phone to the old village chief.

"Little master, I remember what you said." The old village chief muttered on the phone: "During the day today, the experts from the TV station wanted to study the stone mill in our village, and in order to show him conveniently, we stopped the stone mill......
