"Some time ago, I once heard the old people in the village say that the north of the village is a wide low mountain, about 400 meters high, and then the low mountain goes north, followed by a deep mountain of more than 800 meters......

"The two mountains are in a semi-elliptical shape, the two are next to each other, and in the middle is a long and narrow valley, two mountains and a village, don't you think that this terrain is very much like an upside-down gourd? And this village is Hulukou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"That'...... Is there anything special about it? Wu Xiulan didn't understand this, and she didn't know what Ling Xian wanted to say.

Ling Xian looked at her intently: "I suspect that this village, as well as the back mountain, hides a big secret...... Do you remember the legend that the old man in the village told us? ”

Wu Xiulan saw his solemn appearance, it didn't look like a small talk, and she couldn't help but ponder, nodded and said: "Remember, they said that strange things often happened in the village before, and on winter nights, you can often hear babies crying, women moaning, and occasionally old people coughing......"

"That voice comes and goes, disappears and appears, as if it is far away in the sky, and it seems to be close in front of you, and the earliest one to have this sound is in the Double Ninth Festival......

"On summer evenings, there seems to be the sound of war drums and bugles, as if there are ancient armies passing by, the sound of armor beating, and the sound of neat and serious footsteps, it is said that it is ...... Yin soldiers borrow the way! ”

"There is also the stream in front of the village, where some strange things often float out, such as jade Guanyin, ancient swords, statues of divine beasts, etc., and although the stream is shallow, it always drowns children......"

Speaking of these legends, somehow, Wu Xiulan suddenly had goosebumps, and it seemed that even the wind around her was cold, but when it came to this, she didn't want to say any more.

Ling Xian nodded: "The source of that news came from the back mountain, so I suspect that there may be an ancient tomb buried in the back mountain, and the villagers of this village may also be the legendary tomb keeper......

Wu Xiuying's eyes widened: "Ancient tomb? Grave keepers? Are you telling the truth? ”

"Whether it's true or not, I have to go to the back mountain to inspect the terrain, if there are signs of the dragon vein true acupoint, then my judgment is not false, it's just ...... That place seems to be a bit evil, it is likely that there is a place of corpses, and the children of the old Ding family may have accidentally strayed into the place of corpses, and only then were they possessed by the ghosts......"

Ling Xian's words made Wu Xiulan's delicate body tremble, and she asked with some fear: "Do you believe that there are really ghosts in this world?" ”

She was not the only one who asked this question, Ling Xian thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "I don't know if there is one, because I haven't seen it, but there are indeed many things in the world that can't be explained by science, so let's stay away from it for the time being." ”

Wu Xiulan said worriedly: "In this case, don't go to the back mountain, anyway, even if there is an ancient tomb, you shouldn't go to rob the tomb, right?" It's better to be safe and let this secret be buried forever, I'm worried that something will happen to you......"

Ling Xian smiled slightly: "Then I'll listen to you and leave him alone." ”

There is a stream in front of the village, the stream water is clear and sweet, it has always been the drinking water of the villagers, and it is also the place where the village women wash their clothes.

Since the two of them came to Huahuai Village, Wu Xiulan has become a well-deserved village flower, she has fair skin, and the clothes she wears are also of good materials, coupled with her natural beauty, gentleness, so that no matter where she goes, she will attract attention.

As a girl from the city, she does laundry and cooks every day, and she doesn't feel uncomfortable at all, but enjoys it, which makes the village women nod secretly, thinking that she and Teacher Ling are a match made in heaven.

When washing clothes, Wu Xiulan would also chat with them, listen to them talk about the gossip in the village, what happened to this family, what jokes were made in that family, and what foaming at the mouth of their mouths, Wu Xiulan just smiled and listened, and did not interrupt.

There were a few children playing nearby, only to hear one of the village women laugh and ask, "Xiulan, where is your man?" Why didn't you see him today? Doesn't he usually come here to help you do the laundry after class? ”

Hearing this, Wu Xiulan's pretty face was slightly red, slightly shy, she only felt sweet in her heart, and responded in her mouth: "There may be something." ”

Another village woman said with a smile: "Mr. Ling is a person with great ability, but he loves you so much, we all envy you, like our stinky man, rude, where do you know what to considerate, let alone help wash clothes, even if you wash slowly, you will be scolded by them......"

"Haha......"

"When you say this, let your husband hear it, but you will not eat good fruit."

Ling Xian walked over with a smile, and the village women all laughed happily and asked him why he was late today.

Ling Xian smiled and didn't answer, walked to the stream, and helped Wu Xiulan wash her clothes together, only feeling very warm, but when he approached Wu Xiulan, he explained in a low voice: "There are many strange things in this village, I'm afraid that an accident will happen, so I drew a few more talismans just now, just in case." ”

Wu Xiulan saw him explain to himself, obviously caring about his feelings, and she was moved in her heart, and the intimate appearance of the two naturally provoked a group of village women to laugh, until their thin faces turned red.

"Plop."

There was a crisp sound, everyone looked back, and their smiles immediately froze, it turned out that a few children were playing on the arch bridge just now, and they accidentally fell into the water.

Everyone knows that this stream often drowns children, and hurriedly ran over to rescue, Ling Xian knew that this place was weird, once a child fell into the water, he was often quickly dragged down by the aquatic weeds, even if an adult happened to be next to him, he often couldn't save it in time.

So he rushed out at the moment, but instead of immediately diving into the water to save people, he threw a yellow talisman into it, and at the same time read in his mouth: "Five-star town color, light Xuanming." Thousands of gods and saints, protect my true spirit. The giant beast subdues the five soldiers. Five days of the devil, dead and extinct. Wherever it is, all gods are welcome. Haste as a law! ”

After reciting the incantation, the child who sank into the water suddenly floated, Ling Xian stretched out his left hand, grabbed him by the collar, picked him up, laid it flat on the shore, and pressed his hands on his chest for a moment, until the child spat out several mouthfuls of water and breathed, then let go.

"Hey, fortunately Mr. Ling is here, otherwise the lifeblood of the old five families would not have to be broken."

A village woman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the child was fine, and couldn't help but feel palpitations.

Another village woman suddenly exclaimed, "Look at his feet? ”

Everyone looked down and found that there was a trace of cyan handprint on the child's right ankle, and they couldn't help but retreat in fright, and one of them lost his voice and said, "Could it be...... Water ghosts harm people......"

"Yes, yes, there were children who fell in the past, and almost none of them were rescued alive, it must be the water ghost, today there is Mr. Ling, you didn't see it just now, he threw the talisman paper, chanted the spell, and this scared the water ghost away......"
