Liu Shangang turned his head to look at the river behind him again, smacked his lips, and had a reluctant expression. I know that he is reluctant to smoke his cigarettes.

When I was about to go out of the canyon, Liu Shangang asked me again: "Brother Dao, you said, did that yellow-skinned man see us just now?" ”

I said, "Well, we can see it, and of course it can see us." ”

I heard Liu Shangang say worriedly: "Then it won't worry about us, I heard the old man say that this thing is very evil." ”

Liang Houzai said to him on the side: "Don't worry, a monster like this is not highly cultivated, if you don't take the initiative to provoke it, it won't do anything to you." And didn't you just give it a box of cigarettes, for it, that's the offering you gave it, for the sake of this box of cigarettes, it won't embarrass you for no reason. ”

Liu Shangang asked again: "Huang Pizi also smokes?" ”

"The yellow skins in the river already have spirituality, and it's normal to have a little bad habits." I said to Liu Shangang: "You just don't care about that yellow skin for now, we will go to the village later, let's still think about what they say when we meet Zhu Gang, don't show your feet when the time comes." ”

Liu Shangang thought for a while and responded: "Just tell them that we are art students who went out to sketch and got lost with other classmates." If they drove us away, they said, "The teacher said, we should gather in that village after sketching, and we must wait until our classmates and teachers have arrived." ”

Liang Houzai stretched out his hand to hook Liu Shangang's neck, and teased him with a smile: "You can, you can make up nonsense in one set." ”

Liu Shangang didn't seem to hear Liang Houzai's ridiculous tone, and thought that Liang Houzai praised him, so he grinned and laughed.

Zhu Gang: Our village is very close to the construction site outside the reeds, so we returned to the fork in the road and walked along the fork on the right for a short time before we arrived at the entrance of the village.

Like the reed swing, there is also demonic energy fluttering around in the village, but the demonic energy here is much weaker than that of the reed swing, and there is no fog formed by the demonic energy gathering above the village.

The village looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, most of the mud houses in the village are dilapidated, and the few small roads in the village are overgrown with weeds.

As soon as we entered the entrance of the village, two strange-looking middle-aged people came out of a mud house not far away.

The reason why they are strange is because of his clothes and complexion, these two people are not thin, medium height, medium build, but the clothes they wear on their bodies are extremely fat, when they walk, the wide corners of their clothes are constantly whistling with the wind, and their faces are as gray and yellow as oily paper, and they look unhealthy.

The two of them trotted all the way to us, and one of them asked us, "What are you doing, why did you come to this deserted village?" ”

I noticed that he was speaking in a nervous tone.

Liu Shangang told the lie he had made up before, saying that we were art students who had come out to sketch, and that we had lost with the army, and that we were waiting for the teacher and other classmates to come here to join us.

After Liu Shangang finished speaking, we heard another person whisper to us: "Why did your teacher choose such a place to gather?" Young man, listen to me, don't wait here, let's go, there is a parking lot from the village to the northeast, you go over there and wait, this place is not very peaceful. ”

I asked him, "What's wrong with it?" ”

He cautiously looked behind him, and when he saw that there was no one behind him, he whispered to me, "There is something dirty in this place." Little brother, let's go quickly, after we go out, help us report the case, and let people come to save us. ”

Just as he was halfway through his speech, I saw a man in a white tunic walking slowly towards us.

The man was not too far away from me, and I could clearly see his dignified features and demeanor, and his slightly dull yellow hair, unlike the two men in front of him, his face was very ruddy, and seemed to be well maintained.

The only thing that made me feel strange was his figure and dress, this person was not fat from the shape of his face, but his body looked very bloated, and the tunic was swollen on his body, as if he had stuffed a big handful of cotton wool in his clothes. And now it's the height of summer, everyone is wearing short-sleeved shorts, who would cover themselves tightly in such a tunic and walk around the house in the scorching sun?

When he saw us, he shouted from afar, "Yo, there's a new person in the village?" ”

When I heard his voice, I felt uncomfortable, his voice was full of qi, but his voice was very weird, as if a man and a woman were talking at the same time, and the two voices were mixed together, giving people a feeling of neither yin nor yang.

Just as he spoke, the two people who had stopped us shrank their necks at the same time, and then the two people turned around and shouted in unison to the man in the tunic suit: "Wong Tai Sin." ”

Is he Wong Tai Sin?

Liang Houzai and I glanced at each other, and I saw that Liang Houzai also had a doubtful expression on his face, but the two of us only looked at each other for such a moment, and neither of us spoke.

Wong Tai Sin smiled and nodded at the two men, and then came to us, pointed to the Fantian seal I tied on my belt, and asked me, "What is on your waist?" ”

This guy's eyes are also poisonous enough, he came up and didn't ask anything else, he directly focused on Fantianyin, and seemed to have seen that Fantianyin was not a mortal thing.

You know, I wrapped the Fantian seal with a fire silk cloth.

I didn't answer him, but he reached out again and said, "Show me." ”

I smiled at him, "Oh, this is a craft I made, it's just out of its prototype, and it's not finished yet, so don't look at it." ”

He frowned, then pointed to my shoulder and asked, "What's that?" ”

I knew he was referring to the narrow bag on my back, which contained a green steel sword.

I smiled at him again and said, "That's what I made, and I'm not done yet." ”

This time, he still frowned twice, I think when he frowned, the expression on his face was very stiff, only the skin and flesh in the center of his eyebrows were twisted together, but the eyebrows and eyes did not move, thinking back to when he laughed just now, the expression was also very weird, only the mouth was bent into an arc, and the muscles on his face were not driven by his smile.

In fact, since I saw Huangpizi in the river, I have begun to suspect that Wong Tai Sin may have changed from Huangpizi, and I don't blame me for having this thought, after all, in the old folk, weasel is one of the five earth immortals, commonly known as Wong Tai Sin.

Now that I finally see this Wong Tai Sin, I feel more and more that something is wrong with him, but from him, I can't feel the demonic energy.

Later, Wong Tai Sin asked us, "What are you doing here?" ”

Liu Shangang said those words again, when he spoke, Wong Tai Sin kept staring at his eyes, Liu Shang Ang was not stunned, spit and said for a long time, and kept looking at Wong Tai Sin.

It wasn't until Liu Shangang stopped talking that Wong Tai Sin said "oh" and said, "Then the three of you can find a place to live by yourself, and my assistant will call you when you eat." After that, he squinted at the other two people and said lightly, "You two come with me." ”

I noticed that when Wong Tai Sin squinted his eyes, the eyes of the two men became a little distracted, as if they had lost their minds, and when Wong Tai Sin turned and walked towards the depths of the village, the two of them also followed in a daze.

When Huang Tai Sin and the others walked away, Liu Shangang frowned and said to me: "Brother Dao, why do I think Huang Tai Sin is weird?" ”

I patted Liu Shangang on the shoulder: "Don't talk too much, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

After that, the three of us walked around the village, anyway, Wong Tai Sin had already said that the three of us could find a place to live by ourselves, and we could just take this opportunity to get a feel for the situation in the village.

But we walked around the village three or four times, and we didn't find any problems other than the fact that the demonic energy in the center of the village was heavier than in other places.

Eventually, the three of us came to an isolated mud house on the west side of the village, which had no other dwellings around it and was in a relatively remote location, where we could talk without worrying about overheard.

Liu Shangang took out a pen and paper from his backpack, drew a very scribbled map, and handed it to me.

I looked at the map in my hand and asked him, "What is this for?" ”

Liu Shangang said: "Haven't we walked around the village for so long just to figure out the topography of the village? In the past, when I followed Lao Bao out on assignments, he often did this. ”

Sure enough, it was like a mountain across the rows, and Liu Shangang didn't understand my intention to walk around the village at all.

I first put the map aside, then thought about it, picked it up again, pointed to the center of the village and said to Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang: "This place should be the old lady's mourning hall, when I passed by there before, I heard the sound of crying and mourning inside, but the sound was very weak and intermittent. ”

Liu Shangang said to me with a smile: "Of course it's very weak, Zhu Gang and they probably have been crying for two months in a row, and they have long been crying and have no strength." ”

Liang Houzai continued: "When I walked around the village before, we had seen every house, except for the small earthen house at the entrance of the village, the other houses had a thick layer of dust, and no one seemed to have lived in them. You say, Zhu Gang and the people he brought won't have been living in the mourning hall for the past two months, right? ”

Regarding Liang Houzai's statement, Liu Shangang and I both agreed.

After that, Liang Houzai said: "It's best for us to live near the mourning hall now, firstly, to observe the situation in the mourning hall, and secondly, it is easy to get close to the house, after all, he is the owner of this business, we must ensure his safety." But the problem is that we don't know what Zhu Gang looks like, and there is no photo of him on the document given by Hu Nanqian. ”

At this time, Liu Shangang took out his mobile phone: "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, I have a photo of Zhu Gang here." ”
