Moon Shadow Fuxian also looked at the old man with some surprise, but her vigilance was not as obvious as before. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I'm just waiting for you." The old man smiled kindly, stretched out his hand and pulled Wu Zhiyuan's sleeve, and said, "Young man, come here." ”

Wu Zhiyuan was pulled aside by the old man, and was about to ask the old man if he had anything to help him with, but saw that the old man took out a wooden sign from the wide cuffs, the wooden card was worn, about three inches long and less than two inches wide, and one of the sides seemed to be engraved with some words.

"Senior, this is ......" Wu Zhiyuan didn't understand what the old man meant by taking out this wooden card, so he wanted to ask.

The old man stuffed the wooden card into Wu Zhiyuan's hand and said with a smile: "Since you are destined to not be able to drink the soup I prepared for you, then put away this token, it will definitely come in handy in the future." ”

Wu Zhiyuan looked down at the token, there was a word engraved on the side of the word "city", and there was a circle of patterns around the word "city", the shape of the pattern was like water, but it was like a word, a word that Wu Zhiyuan could not recognize.

Wu Zhiyuan felt strange, what kind of token is this, why did this old man give the token to himself? He was about to ask, but when he looked up, he found that the old man who was standing in front of him was gone, Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly looked around, those passers-by were still sitting around the tea stove to rest, except for the broken city wall next to him, there was no figure of the old man, and the Moon Shadow Fuxian was still standing not far behind him, Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly walked over.

"Where did that senior go?" Wu Zhiyuan asked directly.

"Isn't he with you?" Moon Shadow Fuxian thought it was strange because she hadn't noticed the old man's whereabouts.

"He's gone." Wu Zhiyuan shook his head and pondered for a moment, and he was relieved. He had already guessed the identity of the old man, so even if the old man came and went without a trace, there was nothing strange about it.

"Let's go, keep going." Wu Zhiyuan helped the Moon Shadow Fuxian into the carriage, and he sat between the two wheels, raising the horsewhip and about to throw it off, at this time, he only heard a few passers-by sitting around the tea stove, someone shouted in surprise: "Hey, the hot water in the pot is gone?" ”

"Impossible, right? It was still full of pots just now......"

"What about the old man......"

Wu Zhiyuan smiled knowingly, flicked the horsewhip, and rode the horse away.

The journey went smoothly, and in the afternoon of the fourth day, the two finally arrived at the boundary of Jiangsu, and they didn't have time to rest, so they went straight to Jurong Maoshan Mountain.

After arriving in Jurong, it was already evening, and the sunset sprinkled the last afterglow on this small city under the Taoist holy mountain, which was particularly peaceful.

Wu Zhiyuan parked the carriage at the edge of the city, looked at the situation in front of him, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

The city is so quiet.

It's not so much quiet as dead silence.

The sun had set, and it was already dusk, but there was not a single light in this huge city, and there was no light on every house, not even a pedestrian on the road.

The desolate wind swept the fallen leaves and rolled on the ground, and it was really a depression.

"Zhiyuan, why don't you leave?" Moon Shadow Fuxian lifted the curtain and asked.

"It's kind of weird." Wu Zhiyuan stared at the empty street in front of him and replied in a deep voice.

Moon Shadow Fuxian jumped out of the carriage, glanced at the scene in front of him, and said, "After dark, every household does not dare to light the lamp and close the door, there must be a reason. Let's leave the carriage here and go in and have a look. ”

Wu Zhiyuan had this intention, so he nodded and walked up the street in front of him with the Moon Shadow Fuxian.

Although the streets are cold, you can see that it is still very lively during the day, because from time to time you can see the traces of some people's activities on the streets, indicating that there are people in the city during the day, and maybe only at night.

"Why do you think the people in the city don't dare to light the lights at night and close their doors?" Moon Shadow Fuxian asked softly as she walked.

"Because here at night there are things that scare them." Wu Zhiyuan didn't want to answer.

Hearing this, Moon Shadow Fuxian smiled lightly and said, "Let's be specific, let's say ......."

"Ghosts." Wu Zhiyuan only said one word.

"With Wu Mao Mountain here, even if there are really ghosts, I'm not afraid." Moon Shadow Fuxian said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"Moonshadow, when did you learn to joke?" Wu Zhiyuan smiled slightly awkwardly, compared to the character of Moon Shadow Fuxian, he was still a little introverted.

Moon Shadow Fuxian smiled faintly, and at this moment, the two walked to the door of a large mansion, and there were two white paper lanterns hanging on both sides of the door, and the word "Dian" was written on each lantern, indicating that the family was doing a funeral recently.

Originally, there was nothing strange about this house, but Wu Zhiyuan suddenly saw through the crack in the door that there was a bright light in the house that suddenly went out, and it should be because the people in the house heard the sound of him and the Moon Shadow Fuxian talking on the street outside the door, so they vigilantly turned out the lights.

Wu Zhiyuan wanted to sneak into the courtyard to find out, he looked at the Moon Shadow Fuxian and found that the Moon Shadow Fuxian was also looking at him.

"Let's go, I want to go in and have a look, too." Moon Shadow Fuxian had already guessed what Wu Zhiyuan was thinking, and directly proposed.

The courtyard wall of this mansion is very high, but it is not a problem for Wu Zhiyuan at this time, the two walked under the courtyard wall, looked at each other, jumped on the spot, jumped on the wall, glanced at the courtyard, saw that no one noticed, and then jumped into the courtyard.

The courtyard has an east and west wing, and due north is the living room, and all the rooms are pitch black, as if there is no one at all.

Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian stood in place and waited for a moment, at this moment, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly heard a burst of crying, the voice was extremely weak, as if the crying person was enduring his grief and not making himself cry, it was precisely because of this, with this dark environment, it gave people a creepy feeling.

Wu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the living room, and made a lip gesture to the Moon Shadow Fuxian: "Over there." ”

The two quietly walked to the door of the living room and crouched down to listen to the movement inside.

Sure enough, there was a voice from inside, the voice was very low, and the people inside seemed to be nervous and scared.

I only heard the voice of an old man say: "Madam, people can't be resurrected after death, grandpa has a spirit in the sky, and I don't want to see you so sad, let me guard it tonight, you can go and rest early." ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman's voice came from the room with a burst of sobbing.

"Ah Fu, how did you say that master, how did he die? I don't believe it...... I really don't believe he was hooked by a ghost, you tell me, how the hell did he die? The woman's voice asked, weeping.

There was a "bang" sound in the house, thinking that it was the servant named Ah Fu who knelt down, only to hear him blame himself: "Madam, it was the old servant who didn't take good care of him, and the master died of his life, but I and the old man didn't know about the haunting of Jurong City at all, so I didn't go into the city at the third watch last night, but I didn't expect to really meet a ghost, madam, it's a ghost, it's a real ghost!" Ah Fu seemed to be a little excited as he spoke, and he should have remembered the scene of that night, his voice became a little trembling, and he was slightly crying.

"No, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" The woman said in a loud voice.

"Madam, I know you are blaming me, but this is a fact, the whole Jurong City is rumored to be haunted, and many people have seen ghosts with their own eyes, if it weren't for this, how could the old man suddenly lose his soul last night, the old servant is not careful to protect the master, madam, you can punish me......" Ah Fu also cried bitterly, from these words, you can hear his sincerity to the master.

"Ghost ...... Are there really ghosts? After a while, the woman muttered in despair, and suddenly, she said in a loud voice, "Okay, since it's a ghost, let it take my soul away, I'd rather accompany the lord than live alone in this world!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the living room was suddenly opened, and Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian were squatting outside the door of the living room, and they immediately collided with the woman.
