In front of the big pool at the east end of Xiling Village, I quietly stared at the wave of clear water, although the scenery was beautiful, but I always felt a little crazy in my heart.

Although the people in the village said that Zhang Ziming's mother Ah Hong eloped with the merchant, I don't believe this statement. There is a reason for me to judge this way, because I see the evil side of their patriarch Ling Shuangxi.

I already had a guess in my mind, but I didn't dare to say what I thought, after all, my sword was referring to the old patriarch they respected. If I don't choose what to say and provoke the anger of the people, then there is a big question mark over whether I will be able to leave this village in one piece.

At my repeated requests, we moved into Zhang Ziming's house. His house has long been dilapidated, but in the eyes of Shi Mengya and them, it is quite beautiful, and they like the classical beauty of the small wooden building very much.

It's just that I didn't tell them the origin of this small wooden building, and it is even more impossible for me to tell them that this small building is full of yin energy.

After the few of them had cleaned the room, they were tired and crooked, and they got together giggling and joking. I walked alone to the lattice window, pushed it open, and stared silently at the silence of the pool under the moonlight.

There seemed to be a dark shadow slowly gathering in the heart of the lake, which looked very strange in the moonlight. But I wondered very much, this extremely strong yin qi seemed to be unable to break through the lake, as if there was an extremely strong force restraining it.

I thought twice and said to the dead dog, "Dead dog, don't make small talk. Wipe down the little wooden table, spread a yellow cloth, and set the incense table for me! ”

As soon as I said this, the originally joyful atmosphere immediately burst into view, Shi Mengya and Su Xue all stared at me nervously, although the dead dog looked nervous, but his hands and feet were very neat, and he quickly arranged everything.

I know that the dead dog now trusts me 100 percent. Shi Mengya and Su Xue, although they also trust me very much, they are girls after all, and they are even less courageous.

I told them not to be afraid, I wanted to summon spirits to see what was going on here, but I made sure that there would be no evil spirits, and that calmed everyone's minds.

I held the incense in both hands, slid it three times, inserted it into the censer, and began to chant the conjuring mantra. After a while, the wooden cabinet in the corner of the small wooden building began to move, which frightened Shi Mengya and Su Xue to the point of discoloration.

I already felt the Yin Qi attacking, but I was even more convinced that this Yin Qi was stopped by a force, and it was impossible to turn into a powerful ghost. With this bottom in my heart, I simply pretended to force it, and shouted loudly: "Wronged soul, I am a Taoist priest, I passed by here today, and I felt that your resentment was very heavy, so I wanted to overtake you." It's just that my friends are less courageous, and if you have any grievances, you can say to me alone, don't show your spirits and frighten my friends, I'm not kind to you. ”

I was absolutely right on this treasure, and after I had finished speaking, the trembling cabinet stopped moving, and after a while it moved again, and so on three times, as if the unjust spirit was hinting to me that she had agreed to my request.

I took my eyes off Shi Mengya's pretty face, sat cross-legged, closed my eyes slightly, and began to concentrate. Suddenly, my eyes suddenly brightened, and a long-haired woman with a haggard but somewhat beautiful face appeared in front of me.

My yin and yang eyes have been opened, and the woman in front of me is actually a female ghost. I glanced sideways at Shi Mengya and them, and saw that although they looked nervous, they didn't find any screaming and scared movements to escape, and they had already made a judgment: This female ghost's resentment was indeed blocked and could not be revealed, so Shi Mengya and they couldn't see it.

After a long time, I sighed and said to the dead dog, "Okay, it's okay." Dead dog, you take some paper money from my backpack and burn it at the lake. ”

The muscles on the dead dog's face trembled, and he hesitated to answer me. I glared at him and said, "Dead dog, I just told that female ghost not to be visible, so she didn't dare to show up, what are you afraid of?" Although don't worry, this female ghost won't harm us, burn some paper money for her, and I'll recite the supernatal mantra to her a few more times, and she will be reincarnated in the underworld. ”

Hearing my explanation, the dead dog was still a little hesitant. Su Xue suddenly pulled the sleeve of the dead dog, and said disdainfully: "Dead dog, Ling Sen has said it so clearly, what are you afraid of?" Go, I'll go with you. ”

The dead dog was agitated by Su Xue, and his face suddenly couldn't hold back, and he took out the paper money from his backpack without saying a word, and walked to the stairs. I saw that Su Xue didn't mean to move, and I couldn't help but look at her suspiciously.

Su Xue looked at me with a smile, which made me more and more confused. Shi Mengya suddenly smiled and said softly, "Okay, Ling Sen, don't let Sister Su Xue go." How dare she have that, she said this just now, just to stimulate the dead dog! ”

It dawned on me and I couldn't help but laugh. The three of us all moved to the small wooden window, and quietly watched the dead dog come to the waterhole.

When a ray of fire rose, the dead dog ran back in a panic. I was relieved to see the black gas in the center of the lake, slowly floating up as the paper money melted, and finally disappeared.

Shi Mengya suddenly asked me, "Ling Sen, you found that there are unjust souls here, and you have overtaken her, so can we leave here tomorrow?" ”

I nodded, and Su Xue suddenly answered, "Won't it?" Ling Sen, let's just go? Didn't you tell us that we came here to find a person named Zhang Ziming? ”

I smiled and nodded, and Su Xue said puzzledly: "Ling Sen, you told us that the purpose of our trip is to find the last person who will embark on a strange journey with us. However, you also said that although you suspect that Zhang Ziming is the person we are looking for, you are not sure, why do you want to leave here before the goal is completed? ”

The dead dog had already returned to the small wooden building at this time, and when he heard Su Xue's words, he suddenly said with a nervous expression: "Ling Sen, you just said that there is nothing to do, let me burn the paper, you lied to me, right?" I understand, it must be that the ghost here is too powerful, and you can't deal with it anymore, so you coaxed me to burn some paper money to stabilize that evil ghost, and then stay up until dawn and leave here quickly. ”

His words sounded completely reasonable, and the fear in Su Xue and Shi Mengya's hearts was hooked again, and it was all written on their faces. I glared at the dead dog fiercely, and said, "Dead dog, what are you talking nonsense?" Don't you have a brain? If this evil ghost is so powerful, then will this Xiling Village be peaceful? We talked to the people in the village for most of the day, have you heard people say that this place is haunted? ”
