I looked at the imps and said, "If you say that, is there really nothing you can do?" ”

Mr. Lu nodded. said: "There is no way. Then he sighed again and said, "These little devils don't live long, you look at their appearance, in another three or five days, they will be gone." ”

Xue Qian said: "Who was so cruel and nailed them to the wall? Is it the eldest prince? ”

Mr. Lu thought for a while and said, "If what the green-clothed maid said is true, their house will have to move out every few decades. Then it's not them who nail the imps to the wall. Because these imps have been nailed up for too long. It is estimated that it will take thousands of years. ”

As we said this, we followed the talisman. A few minutes later, we walked to the hall where the birthday banquet was held. The light of the fire swirled through the hall for a moment. And it gradually went out.

Mr. Lu took out the candle from his body. lit. The candlelight is faint, and the light here is very gloomy.

Mr. Lu walked to the depths of the hall and stopped in front of the old monster. In fact, there is no short-term collapse at this time. There was only a black thing, which looked heavy, like a large iron box.

Mr. Lu fumbled for a while, as if he had pulled some handle. Then lifted it up.

I heard a sizzling sound, as if something was leaking gas. Hurriedly covered his mouth and nose. However, it soon became clear to me that the box was not filled with poison gas. For I saw a figure floating out of it.

The man was still in chains. He came out of the tin box with a clanging sound.

It's obvious. This man must be a ghost too. It's just that his state is much better than those outside. In the candlelight, the ghost's face was still clear. Unlike the rest of the ghosts. His face didn't look pale, and he didn't have green fangs. On the contrary, he turned black and yellow, and seemed to be a poor man doing hard labor.

He looked at us. Then he said, "You saved me?" ”

He spoke in a dialect that he didn't know where he was. But I could barely understand it.

I asked, "How did you get locked up?" ”

He looked at us in a bit of a daze, as if he hadn't come back to his senses, and after a while, he said, "Someone has harmed me and locked me up." ”

Mr. Lu asked, "Who are you?" ”

He suddenly looked at Mr. Lu with great vigilance, and with a wave of his two arms, the iron chain made a string of sounds: "Why are you asking this?" Are you going to hurt me? Who sent you? ”

Xue Qian whispered: "This guy has been locked up for too long. Something seems to be wrong with my brain. ”

I asked, "Are you a villager in this neighborhood?" ”

He looked at me vigilantly, and after a while, said proudly, "Don't try to get the news out of my mouth. ”

Mr. Lu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's go." Let him stay here and fend for himself. ”

The little imp stared at the three of us with a strange look in his eyes. It seemed as if he wanted to ask us to let him go, but he wouldn't bow his head. I smiled at him and said, "If I let you go, don't hurt me." ”

The little ghost said angrily, "I don't need you to let me go." ”

I wondered, "Why is that?" ”

The little ghost said: "If you can't believe me, you are insulting me, you can kill, not humiliate." I will not be fed upon you. ”

His words were indecent, but I understood them. I couldn't help laughing and said, "It's funny that I can't imagine that in such a terrifying place, I can meet such a nerd-like ghost." ”

I took out the broadsword, sheathed it, and threw it at his chains.

The little ghost seemed to be frightened, and quickly dodged to the side. However, I was quick to draw the knife, and the big knife still smashed on his chain. A spark flashed, and the chain broke. Then I did the same, and cut off the rest of the chains.

The little imp was finally free, but he still had iron rings on his hands and feet, and he walked with a clanging heart. He looked at me, nodded at me, and said, "You're not bad." ”

I thought to myself, "Just because of your pride." If you're not a little ghost, but a big living person, I'll kick you back earlier. Isn't that a bad idea? ”

Mr. Lu kept smiling at my behavior. At this time, he said to the little ghost, "You still refuse to sue us, what the hell is going on?" ”

The imp flatly refused: "I won't say anything." Who knows who you are? ”

Xue Qian laughed: "Lao Zhao, you saved a white-eyed wolf." Take out your ID card and let him see who you are. ”

I snorted: "Who came to the grave circle to find the little ghost and still bring his ID card?" ”

Then, I looked at the little ghost with some annoyance and said, "I saved you kindly just now, you don't thank me, forget it, but doubt me, what is this?" With your logic, aren't you insulting me? ”

The little ghost was stunned by my shout. He stood on the ground, seemingly at a loss.

After a while, I heard him whisper, "Otherwise, lock me back in." ”

I was so angry that I swung my knife and was about to cut it down. At this time, Xue Qian stopped me and said, "Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao." What are you fighting with a bad guy? ”

When the imp saw that I was furious, and seemed to be about to swing his knife to cut him, he fled to the door in a flash. I heard the chains rattling along the way, and the imp had fled far away.

I laughed back and said, "I thought this kid was really a bad guy." Look at him, isn't he quite shrewd? Seeing that it annoyed me, he immediately ran away. ”

Mr. Lu waved his hand at me and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

When we came out of the hall, I suddenly noticed that the house was half missing. The original ruins of the wall have become crumbling. And they're slowly fading, and they seem to be disappearing.

Xue Qian looked at the top of her head and said, "It's still night, why is the house gone?" ”

Mr. Lu said: "Because those imps nailed to the wall are dying. When they are dead, the house will be completely gone. ”

He stood in the middle of the courtyard and said, "That little ghost just now, it is estimated that he was a villager who broke in by mistake, and he was locked up here, even if we asked, I am afraid we will not be able to ask anything." Judging by his temperament, it is unlikely that he will know about these little ghosts. However, I just had some ideas. ”

I asked, "What thoughts?" ”

Mr. Lu pointed to the disappearing wall and said, "I lit the Dao talisman just now, and we saw the little ghost. In fact, it's just a phantom. The real imps are not on the ground, but underground. ”

I nodded and said, "I can understand that." ”

Mr. Lu said: "This place should be the burial pit of some nobles. Those imps are the ones who were forced to be buried. If we dig down from here, we will definitely find a large tomb. However, the act of stealing graves and digging graves hurts heaven and reason, and our Taoist priests will definitely not do it. "The Empty House:.

I said, "Hearing you say that, how do I think that the eldest prince and the old monster are deliberately living on this purpose?" ”

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "They did it on purpose. These people who were forced to be buried were cattle and horses for their masters when they were alive, and after they died, they could not even escape their souls, and they would definitely have great resentment. The eldest prince and the old monster took advantage of their grievances and transformed into this house. And then inhabit it. Nourish yourself with resentment. You can live comfortably, and you can come stronger and stronger. ”

It dawned on me, "If you say that, I'll understand." It's no wonder that they have to move every few decades, and they must have exhausted the resentment here, and the ghosts have also been scattered, so they have to find another good place. ”

Mr. Lu said: "It should be like this. ”

Xue Qian said: "These little ghosts are nailed to the wall, and even if they are alive, they will suffer. The old monster hurt their souls, and it seems that they are also doing good deeds. ”

At this time, the last bit of bricks and tiles in the house also disappeared. The place became an ordinary wheat field. I can no longer feel a trace of yin energy.

I suddenly felt a wave of hunger, and then I remembered that I hadn't eaten for a day. I said, "Let's stop feeling here, let's go back and eat something, I'm going to starve to death." ”
