The three of us didn't want to stay in this place for another second after what had just happened. I just hope to go home soon.

We left the village after walking for ten minutes. Suddenly, I heard an old voice calling, "Little brother, little brother." ”

I turned my head and saw the old gentleman standing at the door of the empty house with a lantern.

I thought about it, but I walked over and asked, "Sir, do you have anything else?" ”

The old gentleman patted me on the shoulder and said, "Everyone has their own choice, and you don't have to feel too guilty." ”

I know he's referring to Wang Lao Dao. These words really go up to my heart. My heart softened all at once.

I nodded, and said incoherently, "I understand." Thank you. ”

The old gentleman sighed and said, "Those helpers I hired. All of them are evil ghosts from all over the country. Most of them are like me. Don't be afraid of provoking people, and don't provoke people. But there are also some people who are casual by nature, disobedient to constraints, and want to play a trick when they see a lonely pedestrian. Now they are not going far. You might as well rest with me and go on your way after daybreak. ”

When I heard this, I hesitated. Taoist priests have always been chasing ghosts and demons, and there is no reason to hide from ghosts. Today, Mr. Lu followed me to avoid the little ghost, isn't it a little too shameless?

However, Mr. Lu nodded and said, "Okay." Then we'll rest here for the night. ”

Then, he walked in with a large knife. I looked at her back and thought silently: I'm really redundant, Mr. Lu has never lost face.

Gu Yue hid behind the curtain again and didn't come out to meet anyone. Only the old gentleman greeted us here.

The night was long. We sat in our chairs and chatted all the time. After talking, the topic came to the empty house.

I said to the old gentleman, "I have also met several people or ghosts related to the empty house. They told me that during the Chung Yeung Festival, I was going to be taken to a place, is there such a thing? ”

The old gentleman nodded: "There is such a thing." ”

I asked, "Where's that place?" Once there, what happens? ”

The old gentleman groaned for a moment and said, "Little brother." I can't sue you for this. ”

I looked at him with some surprise: "Can't sue me?" Why? ”

In my mind, I am also the savior of the old gentleman, and now I ask him about something, and he actually refuses me directly, which really surprises me.

The old gentleman said: "The Double Ninth Festival is a test. If I sue you now. It's tantamount to leaking the topic. In your world, cheating in the field is a great crime. Here, hehe, once someone says it, it's light. ”

I heard the old gentleman say this, and knew that this matter could not be forced, so I had to nod.

Then I asked, "If this test passes, will I survive?" ”

The old gentleman nodded: "This is natural." After you pass the guò test, there will be many benefits. When the time comes, you will rejoice. ”

I have little interest in the so-called benefits. What I really care about is when I'm going to be able to live a normal life.

I told the old gentleman this.

After listening to this, the old gentleman pondered for a while, and then said, "Little brother. If the test passes guò up. You'll survive. But then you have to do something about the empty house. ”

I was stunned: "This is not over yet?" ”

The old gentleman nodded and said, "The purpose of the test is to see if you are qualified to do that." ”

I said with a sad face, "What about after the thing is done?" Can you just let me go? ”

The old gentleman's expression was a little dazed, and he said, "After you finish it?" Of course, after doing it, everyone will be relieved. Merely...... It's just that, after so many years, can anyone finish it? ”

He said the latter very softly, but I still heard it. My heart instantly went cold.

I was about to ask him what would happen if it didn't work out. Xue Qian patted me on the shoulder and said, "Lao Zhao, I think you should be more worried, what should you do if you can't pass the test, have you forgotten the old man?" ”

After Xue Qian's reminder, I immediately remembered that the ghosts in the crematorium were coming. So he was even more sad.

The old gentleman looked at me strangely and asked, "Old man Chai?" I remember, have you already met him? ”

I nodded, and told the old gentleman about the crematorium.

After hearing this, the old gentleman nodded. Then he said with great emotion: "He is really miserable." But for the sake of that, we can only turn a blind eye. ”

I asked, "Did he become like that because he didn't pass the guò test?" ”

The old gentleman nodded and said, "Brother Zhao." He was the first living person to be chosen as the owner of the Empty House. To be honest, at the Chung Yeung Festival that year, he performed very well. Everyone felt that he was already going to succeed. It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, it was still a failure.

At that time, everyone saw his tragic situation. Since then, no one has been chosen to be the owner of an empty house. Later, everyone heard that the ghost woman chose you. I was a little surprised. Because no one expected that the Yin Ghost Woman would be so bold and dare to do it again......"

I scolded the ghost woman 10,000 times in my heart. She literally ruined my life.

The old gentleman suddenly stood up and said, "Little brother, you don't have to worry. This time, you don't have to succeed or fail. I'm sure you'll keep you. At least not let you lose your life. ”

When I heard that, I felt much better. Thank you repeatedly.

I asked the old gentleman, "Many people call me the True Dragon Heavenly Son, do you know what this means?" ”

When I mentioned it, the old gentleman smiled. He smiled and said, "This is a joke, little brother doesn't have to take it seriously." ”

The old gentleman's smile made me feel very uncomfortable, as if I had said something wrong and made a fool of myself.

Xue Qian walked over, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Old Zhao, I originally wanted to slap you, and when you become the emperor, give me a prime minister to play with." Now it seems that I can't count on you anymore. ”

I looked at him angrily and drove him away like a fly.

We sat in the house all night and talked all night. It was dawning outside. Mr. Lu stood up and said, "It's time for us to go." ”

The old gentleman nodded and said, "Please." Go all the way. ”

The three of us slowly came out of the house, and were about to continue on our way. Suddenly, a pleasant voice behind him called, "Mr. Zhao." ”

When I looked back, it was Gu Yue.

She looked up and smiled at me. This smile stunned me. Formation of the history of the bean.

After she smiled, she seemed to be a little embarrassed, then lowered her head again, and then said softly: "You don't have to take the matter of the Double Ninth Festival to heart. With me and my father here, no one can hurt you. ”

With that, she turned and went back into the house.

I looked at her back and said, "Thank you." ”

Gu Yue didn't react, got into the hut, and never showed up again.

I turned around and walked outside step by step with Mr. Lu and Xue Qian. At dawn, we walked to the city of Yucheng. I saw hordes of villagers rushing back. One of the women cried out loudly, "I don't want to go back, there are ghosts over there." ”

The person next to her persuaded her: "Where is the ghost?" You slept like a dead dog with us all night yesterday. ”

The woman jumped to her feet in a hurry: "There are really ghosts, they have hooked my soul." I can see it clearly. ”

The villager said, "What are you afraid of?" We have a royal road chief, a horse road chief, and how many ghosts have been killed. Then several people lifted her onto a tricycle and drove in the direction of the village.

We walked into the city, and we didn't even have the heart to eat. I found a black car and drove home.

I slept all the way in the black car, and by the time the car drove up to the empty house, I still hadn't woken up. I pulled open the car door and staggered to the broken bed in the empty house. Then he fell down and continued to fall asleep in the dark.

I slept in the house for a long time, as if I had slept for many years. By the time I woke up from my slumber, I felt like I was getting old.

In my sleep, I always hear someone arguing in my ears. It doesn't stop for a moment.

I looked up in annoyance and found the room empty.

I thought sleepily, "It's daylight, can there still be ghosts?" ”

At this time, the voice sounded again. That's when I realized that the sound was coming from my phone. I fumbled to find it, and when I lit it up, there were more than a dozen text messages in it.
