I only heard the sound of the wind in my ears, and my hands were the neck of the paper horse, and my eyes were closed and I didn't dare to open them. Although the horse was made of dark paper, I felt hard when I held its neck, as if it were real.

These paper men and paper horses, did the master ask them to save me? I didn't know that the master still had this ability to make the paper move!

Frightened and excited, I was carried by this paper-bound horse towards the depths of the pond village.

After a while, the paper horse stopped, and I thought it might have been somewhere, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that the master was standing next to me and looking at me with a worried expression.

I hurriedly got off the paper horse and said that the master was so scary just now, and I met some strange villagers who were not only fierce, but also robbed me of the paper money that I accidentally dropped.

The master nodded: "Xiao Ming, the master is not afraid to tell you that there are no living people in this village." ”

No living people? That's all ...... Ghost?!

Although I had thought about this before, I was still very scared when I heard the master say this, and subconsciously looked around, always feeling that something was peeking at us in the fog and darkness around us. At that time, I was still young, and I didn't understand the big truth, I only knew that the master would definitely not harm me, and he must have his own reason for bringing me to this ghost village.

At this time, the master didn't seem to be very anxious, and actually chatted with me. He asked me, Xiao Ming, you have followed me since you were a child, and the master has never hidden many things from you, try to make you a little more precocious than other little babies, although you are only eight years old, but you should know a lot about the dark money and some things, right?

I nodded. Indeed, because the master has not shied away from me since I was a child, whether it is using the dark money to disperse dirty things or performing some strange rituals, I also know a lot, and I am a little more mature than my peers.

"Xiao Ming, you often sneak into my small room to peek at my books, do you think I don't know? Then I'm going to test you now, what is it? ”

"Huh?!"

When I heard the master say it, I immediately felt cold on my body. I don't know why the master suddenly asked about this, because this kind of thing is really a bit scary. To put it simply, only a very resentful ghost can be called a ghost. And there seem to be some qualifications, but I don't know very well. After all, ghosts and ghosts were only theoretically known to me, who was only eight years old at the time.

Could it be that there is ...... in this reservoir village?

The master looked at my frightened expression and said, "You should have guessed it, right?" That's right, this pond village is already occupied by a ghost, and it is also a ghost who starved to death, starved to death, and was very angry. The whole village is shrouded, if you don't handle it well, you will be in big trouble, and if you know it earlier, the teacher will not bring you over.

I reached out and grabbed my hair, and asked the master curiously, aren't you a money maker? Isn't it said in the book that only Taoist priests can catch ghosts? And the man in black this afternoon, he seems to be ...... It's not a person, I see that the master gave him a silver bill.

The master just wanted to speak, but suddenly his face changed: "Don't move next to me, pay attention to safety, today the master will let you take a look, the designer of the dark banknotes, not only sell the dark money to the people to make money, we will also deal with these evil dirty things." ”

The white paper-made horse snorted at once, and took a few steps back to protect me. I saw red dots of light appear in the fog around me, and then they got bigger and bigger, and they turned out to be a pair of red eyes.

One by one, with pale faces, strange smiles on the corners of their mouths, villagers dressed in all kinds of clothes surrounded me and the master, no, they are no longer villagers, but ghosts after they died!

Although it was the first time I had faced a ghost, and my hands and feet were weak, I still insisted on standing behind my master and not letting myself fall to the ground. After all, I am the apprentice of the designer of the dark banknote, just like the apprentice of a pig killer, even if he can't kill pigs, at least he won't be afraid of blood.

Villagers from all directions surrounded this side, and the master shouted at me: "Xiao Ming, take out the paper money in your bag for me and scatter it in the sky!" ”

I didn't understand the master's intentions, but when he said this, I naturally did it immediately, and quickly opened the backpack, and stacks of paper money were scattered into the sky one after another, and paper money of different colors and shapes flew all over the sky. The master suddenly muttered something in his mouth that I didn't understand, and the paper money that was flying around seemed to be controlled by some force, and flew towards the surrounding villagers.

"These are not ordinary paper money, they are real money recognized by Lord Yama. Get the money, leave the world of the living and go to the underworld to enjoy happiness! ”

When the villagers saw so much paper money, they all stopped, as if they were frozen, and stood there still. At this moment, I suddenly heard a cold snort, which came from the mist in all directions, revealing a cold and evil aura. The villagers who had been made to stand still by me and the master's paper money actually looked a little frightened under this cold snort, threw all the paper money in their hands on the ground, and continued to surround me and the master with red eyes.

Even if I am young, I should know at this time, this voice is the culprit who turned Shuitang Village into a ghost village, that is, the ghost that the master said, starved to death!

"The living, the living, the dead! Die! ”

The sound of let's die echoed nearby, and it was so strange that just hearing it made me feel cold, as if my blood was about to freeze.

As soon as these words came out, the master's expression changed greatly: "How is this possible!" You starving to death have only been formed for a long time, how can you have your own consciousness? Old man Gao, you bastard, how did you become a ghost in this area? If you don't come out to help me again, see how you go back to the underworld in July and a half next year! ”

The master shouted and suddenly threw out three pieces of silver paper, which usually looked like ordinary silver banknotes, but at this time, they were actually suspended in the air, and they flashed silver.

I've never seen this kind of scene before, and I never thought that the master would have this hand in addition to making dark money, and I couldn't help but breathe a little fast and excited. I don't know why my own little child had such intense emotions at that time, not fear, but a vague yearning.

The three silver bills hanging in the air disappeared at once, and then from the place where they disappeared, a long-bearded old man wearing a black shroud and black shou shoes suddenly appeared, and the old man fell to the ground lightly and stood next to the master. His first action was not to talk to the master, nor to look at the villagers, but to look at me.

He just looked at it, and I immediately felt a sharp pain in the left side of my face. The five black paw prints that stretched from the corners of my eyes to the corners of my mouth looked like they were burning with fire, and tears came out of my eyes.

"Old man Gao, look at the egg, this is my apprentice! Let's get rid of the starving guy first. ”

With the roar of the master, the fog around us suddenly dispersed, and then, a black shadow appeared on top of a house, standing there, looking at us with a cold and fierce look.

The shadow seemed to be surrounded by a cloud of black gas, but it could probably be seen to be in the shape of a person, and there were two red lights in the position of the skull, much brighter than the surrounding villagers. The thing stood on top of the roof not far away, exuding a terrifying feeling.

This should be what the master said about starvation!
