Chapter 602: The Woman in Black
A lunge rushed to the door, Wu Zhiyuan at the same time the torch in his hand shined outward, and did not find the black shadow just now, the window was empty, and the distance was pitch black, if the black shadow just now escaped into the darkness in the distance, no matter how he looked, it would be impossible to find it.

Who will that dark shadow be. Wu Zhiyuan slowly glanced at the inky night, and secretly wondered in his heart, this place is far away from the village under the mountain, it is unlikely that it is a person from the village, and the beggar and himself agreed to meet here, but he never appeared, could it be that the black shadow could be him. If it was him, why didn't he show up, but dodged and dodged.
Wu Zhiyuan thought for a moment, remembering the deal he had made with the beggar, that is, the matter of removing ghosts, but the beggar did not show up, he didn't know what to do next, the only thing he could do at this time was to continue to stay here and wait, only hoping that the beggar would come to the appointment.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan was about to turn around and go back to the house, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound from the west side of the house, he leaned against the wall vigilantly and slowly walked around the west side of the house.
The rustling was not loud, and it only rang for a moment before it stopped abruptly. Wu Zhiyuan didn't go around, he shone the torch first, and at the same time turned to the west, and saw a person squatting at the base of the wall, holding his knees with his hands, his head buried deep in his arms, and trembling all over.
The light of the torch was constantly swaying by the wind, and Wu Zhiyuan could only see the person's long hair, and he couldn't see her clothes clearly, but it was obviously a woman.
"Who are you?" Wu Zhiyuan stood in place and asked vigilantly.
The woman slowly raised her head when she heard this, and Wu Zhiyuan looked at her with eyes, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Wanxiang," Wu Zhiyuan couldn't believe that Sheng Wanxiang was actually here, he hurriedly asked, "Why did you come here, aren't you waiting for me in that stone house at the bottom of the mountain." ”
Sheng Wanxiang's face turned pale, her whole body trembled slightly, as if she was frightened, she slowly stood up, looked behind Wu Zhiyuan, looked around in a panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Zhiyuan." ”
Seeing this, Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her in his arms with one hand, and comforted: "It's okay, don't be afraid, it's cold outside, let's go into the house first." So saying, he put his arm around her shoulders and turned to go back to the house.
Sheng Wanxiang stood in place, motionless.
"What's wrong?" Wu Zhiyuan turned to look at Sheng Wanxiang and asked.
Sheng Wanxiang shook her head in horror, pulled Wu Zhiyuan's arm with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Zhiyuan, don't enter that room." ”
"Why?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at Sheng Wanxiang in confusion, not understanding why she had such an idea.
"Because...... Because ......" Sheng Wanxiang swallowed her saliva and said with a panicked expression, "Because I was standing outside the window just now and saw a woman inside, not a woman, but a female ghost,"
Wu Zhiyuan's nerves tensed when he heard this, he didn't doubt Sheng Wanxiang's words, because Sheng Wanxiang was not the kind of person who liked to lie, especially for Wu Zhiyuan, she would not deceive.
Wu Zhiyuan asked cautiously, "When did you see it?" ”
"Just now, just now." Sheng Wanxiang always grabbed Wu Zhiyuan's arm with both hands, so that she could feel a sense of security from Wu Zhiyuan.
Wu Zhiyuan looked around, except for the fact that there were torches around him, it was all dark in the distance, and at this time there was a mountain wind, this was really not a place to talk, but Sheng Wanxiang refused to enter the house, Wu Zhiyuan had to squat at the base of the wall with her, so that he could barely shelter from the wind and would not feel too cold.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Wu Zhiyuan dug a shallow hole in the ground with the Blood Shadow Demon Knife, inserted the torch into the hole, and then reached out to hug Sheng Wanxiang and asked, "What did you see just now, tell me about it." ”
Sheng Wanxiang calmed down her mind, but she still had a panicked look on her face, and said: "After you and Elder Li left, I was worried about your safety, so I quietly followed, and later I saw you enter the house, Elder Li went down the mountain alone, I wanted to go into the house to find you, but when I saw that the door was closed, I wanted to see the situation inside from the window." I lay out of the window, through the crack in the window, and I didn't see you, but I saw ...... I saw ......" Speaking of this, Sheng Wanxiang recalled the situation at that time, and her expression was even more frightened.
"What do you see?" Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly asked.
"I saw a woman with a disheveled hair standing on the side of the kang with her whole body dressed in black, her hair hanging down and covering her face, and she was standing on the edge of the kang like that, motionless, it was so scary," Sheng Wanxiang said in horror.
"A woman dressed in black with a dishevelled head." Wu Zhiyuan muttered, as soon as he entered the house, he checked the room, and did not find any black-clothed woman, not to mention that he had been staying in the house, how could Sheng Wanxiang see a woman in black, but not Wu Zhiyuan himself.
Wu Zhiyuan thought about it for a while, and then figured out the whole process. Just now he saw the stone carving covered under the quilt in the stone house, and then covered the stone carving with a quilt, and then he wanted to check outside the door to see if the beggar had come, at this moment, he saw the shadow of Sheng Wanxiang outside the window, presumably when he left from the side of the earthen kang, Sheng Wanxiang was lying on the window, so she didn't see Wu Zhiyuan, but only saw the woman in black with her hair scattered.
And the black-clothed woman she saw was most likely a female ghost, and she was also the object of the beggar's deal with Wu Zhiyuan.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan felt a little more relieved in his heart, since this is the case, it doesn't matter whether the beggar comes or not, the female ghost is in the house, as long as it is removed, the transaction is completed, and it is logical to get the peach blossom nectar and leave this place.
"Don't be afraid, let's go into the house, I'll get rid of that female ghost." Wu Zhiyuan helped Sheng Wanxiang up, and at the same time picked up the torch planted on the ground.
Sheng Wanxiang followed Wu Zhiyuan's side tremblingly, moving her steps. Wu Zhiyuan had never seen her so scared, and he expected that the scene just now had left a shadow on her.
The two walked to the door, because Wu Zhiyuan rushed out of it just now, so they didn't close the door, and the two walked straight in.
Wu Zhiyuan closed the door with his backhand, reached out and patted the back of Sheng Wanxiang's hand, signaling her not to panic, and then glanced at the house, and found nothing abnormal, so he walked to the stone stove in the middle of the room, picked up a handful of firewood from the wall, put it in the stone stove, and lit it with a torch.
This stone furnace is actually a stone trough, and after the firewood is burned, Wu Zhiyuan also puts the torch in the stone furnace. There was a fire in the house, and he didn't need to hold a torch anymore.
From the beginning of entering the house, Sheng Wanxiang's eyes have been staring at the position of the side of the earthen kang. In order to dispel her concerns, Wu Zhiyuan walked to the side of the kang and signaled that there was nothing unusual.
Sheng Wanxiang was still standing timidly by the stone furnace, Wu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and pulled her to the side of the kang and said, "With me here, don't be afraid." I'll show you something. ”
Saying that, Wu Zhiyuan turned to face the earth kang, he wanted Sheng Wanxiang to see the stone sculpture covered in the quilt, the image of the stone sculpture was exactly the same as the Moon Shadow Fuxian, this was too incredible, he wanted to hear Sheng Wanxiang's opinion.
The quilt was still bulging, the same as when he put it on. However, at the moment when he reached out and lifted the quilt, Wu Zhiyuan was stunned, he saw that the quilt was empty.
The stone carving woman who looked exactly like the Moon Shadow Fuxian was gone,
