This small mountain village is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one road leading to the outside world, and most of the villagers in the village make a living by digging some medicinal herbs and wild vegetables in the mountains, or hunting.

The second dog followed his father into the mountains to hunt since he was a child, and he was also familiar with all kinds of taboos on the mountain, and the day of the accident was the seventeenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar.

As the saying goes, seventeen-eighteen, to the dark and blind, that is, in the seventeenth and eighteenth days of the lunar calendar, the moon will come out later, but as long as you wait, the moon will still rise.

On this day, the two dogs went into the mountains to hunt, and they could always have some harvest in the past, but today they didn't get anything after wandering around the mountains for a day, and only picked some wild vegetables and came back.

People here have been dealing with forests for generations, and the awareness of forest fire prevention is still very strong, unlike in the plains, where there are coffins, wreaths and paper figures after people die, but there is no cover.

Wreaths and paper figures are not burned, and the wreaths are placed on the grave after sealing the soil, and the paper men and paper horses are inserted next to the grave, which can cause mountain fires after the ignition of the province, and secondly, it can also scare the wild wolves and lynxes in the mountains, preventing the wild beasts from coming to open the grave and eat the dead.

Because of this tradition, many ancestors from ancient times to the present are buried in the collective grave circle of this mountain village, but the paper people and paper horses will rot after being exposed to the wind and rain for too long.

Ergouzi came out of the mountain, and when he came home, he happened to pass by the grave circle, because a middle-aged man in his thirties had just died a few days ago, and he was also a little hairy in his heart.

As the saying goes, those who are far away are afraid of water, and those who are near are afraid of ghosts, and in my own village, all I have heard since I was a child is the ghost of some of the seniors in the village, and I am naturally afraid when I am close to the grave circle.

Because I came back late, the moon had already risen by the time I got out of the mountain, just because the weather was not very good. The moon was hazy, the clouds covered the fog, and the mountain wind blew the branches back and forth.

In addition, some natural caves make heart-palpitating sounds under the action of strong winds, if you don't live here since childhood, the timid can be directly paralyzed.

Just when the second dog was scaring himself, there was a sudden cry of a night owl in his ears, which almost scared him.

The night owl is a bird that resembles an owl, but its call is much worse than that of an owl, like a ghost's laughter. Many mountainous areas have the night owl as an ominous bird, even more feared and annoying than the crow.

There has been no trace of the night owl in this mountainous area for a long time, but I didn't expect to suddenly hear the cry of the night owl, and the second dog suddenly felt that the sweat and hair were fried, and the scalp was tight, and he looked up to the sky, but found nothing.

Because he grew up in the mountains, Ergouzi's courage is still relatively large, and at this time, it is not far from the village. So I hurried to the village.

Just as he was talking about this, we suddenly heard a strange laugh coming from overhead, which immediately startled everyone, and the fat man passed out without saying a word. He was accompanied by the knife with a scar on his face.

The two of them rushed out of the room almost in no particular order to look at the roof, and I wondered what the sound was coming from, so I ran out as well.

As soon as I ran into the yard, I saw a knife with a three-inch long hand. An inch-wide flying knife shook his hand and threw it to the roof.

As he moved, there was another burst of laughter. I saw a black figure squatting on the roof of the house, larger than an owl, with a pair of eyes growing in front of it, spreading its wings and flying towards the mountain, and the flying knife of the knife shot at the roof tiles, splashing a field of sparks.

"This is the night owl, a very precious bird, which belongs to the national protected animals, and is almost extinct, so you don't have to be afraid."

Elder Wu also walked out and explained to everyone in the direction in which the big bird had disappeared.

Back in the room, I kept thinking about the question, how could this night owl so coincidentally bark at the right time when the second dog was talking about this? Is this a coincidence? Or is someone secretly directing something?

After this interruption, Ergouzi reorganized his thoughts, and then told us about his experience.

To be honest, if it were me, I would have been paralyzed by fright, there are no such strange things in the plains, only in the mountains, and I don't often move in the mountains, so I don't know much about these strange creatures.

The unknown is the most terrifying, and human beings have an innate fear of the unknown, which is deeply rooted in the depths of the human soul, and cannot be avoided and avoided.

When Ergouzi walked to the cemetery, a cold chill suddenly hit, so he couldn't help but shiver, and looked around, in addition to the graves of different heights, there were two life-size paper figures standing in front of a new grave.

To tell the truth, if I had encountered such a thing, I would have been too scared to find the north, and I would never go to the cemetery at night when there was no one to accompany me.

Just as he walked into the new grave, Ergouzi suddenly saw two paper figures moving, shaking their bodies, their eyes shooting two green lights, and they were trying to pull themselves out of the soil.

This scared him enough, paper man! When he first sold this person, he participated in the whole process, from the beginning when the paper figure was sent, until the sealing was completed, and he was in front of him until the two paper figures were inserted on the ground, however, at this time, the two paper figures actually moved on their own, and this strange scene scared him so much that his legs were weak and his hair stood on end.

When a person's fear reaches the limit, there will be a moment of blankness in the brain, unable to remember anything, and not knowing what to do.

At this time, the most important thing is to escape, but the second dog was stunned in the local area and even forgot to escape.

In less than half a minute, the two paper figures pulled their feet out of the soil and approached him little by little like puppets.

It was only at this time that the second dog reacted, screamed, pulled his legs and ran towards the village, screaming for help as he ran.

Generally speaking, in order not to get too close to each other between the yin and yang houses, the cemetery is relatively far away from the village, and there is still a long way from the cemetery to the village, and the two dogs dare not look back, for fear that they will be caught up as soon as they turn back.

Although he knew that it was only a paper man behind him, it was this kind of paper person who was terrifying, if it was really a person, he would dare to fight even if he held a knife, and this strange thing scared his guts. I don't even have the courage to turn around and fight.

After running for about ten minutes, I suddenly saw a figure in front of me walking towards this side, and the second dog said in his heart, who will come out for a walk at this time, it must be dirty.

There is an interception in front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, this time it is really more than lucky, at this moment, the second dog even has a feeling of resignation, and he can't run anyway. Love what's the matter, Lao Tzu won't run.

"Ergouzi, what are you doing? What is it like to be picked up by a dog? ”

At this time, Ergouzi suddenly heard an old and familiar voice, as soon as he heard this voice, Ergouzi suddenly had a feeling of being rescued, this is the only ancestor-level figure in the village who is extremely respected, called Liu Laohan, twenty years ago. He is sixty years old and has separated from his wife Liu Cui, this point is 20 years, the two are nominally fathers, but in fact they have become incompatible life and death enemies.

From that time. Liu Laohan never entered his original home again, so he built a small thatched hut on the edge of the village, lived by herding sheep, and raised dozens of goats.

And his wife. Liu Cui's family lives in a big house, living by showing people an evil disease or something, and the villagers in the mountains are simple. Seeing that Liu Cui's life was difficult, the neighbors from time to time helped her.

"Master Liu, there is a paper man chasing me behind, go quickly, go back to the village."

The second dog greeted Liu Laohan while running, and asked him to run quickly, Liu Laohan glared, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes and said, "Are you too hungry or are you dazzled?" There's nothing behind me, don't take these godly things to fool me, I can't sleep and go around. ”

Hearing Liu Laohan say this, the second dog looked back, really, there was nothing behind him, just now he clearly saw two paper people chasing him? Is it really an illusion?

However, even if it was an illusion, he didn't dare to stay here anymore, Liu Laohan himself was not afraid, he was frightened, and hurriedly told Liu Laohan to go back to the village.

The strange thing is that nothing strange happened along the way, and after returning home, the second dog didn't say a word, took off his shoes, washed his feet and went to bed.

I couldn't sleep in bed, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw two paper figures grinning, showing a mouthful of jagged fangs, and their eyes flashed with a faint green light walking towards them.

The more I think about the second dog, the more I feel that something is wrong, it stands to reason that I can't be dazzled, I obviously saw the paper man move, and I was still chasing myself for a long time, how could I be wrong?

Just when he was struggling, he suddenly heard a woman's voice asking over and over again at his door: "Is it done?" Is it done......"

Ergouzi's heart suddenly shuddered, and he didn't dare to look out of the window, remembering an ancient legend that circulated in the mountain village.

Legend has it that there is a fox in the mountains who has been cultivating for an unknown number of years, and once this spiritual thing feels that it is almost finished, it will transform into a beautiful woman at night and go to the door of a random family in a human village to ask for heavenly opportunities.

The so-called question of heaven is to ask whether human beings can really pass through heaven's punishment, be reborn, and become adults completely. That's all that's asked, is it done?

At this time, no matter which one is asked, it must be answered, because this kind of thing is very retaliatory, they ask the heavens to ask for a psychological comfort, and once the human answer is not successful, then it is very likely to be split into ashes when crossing the heavenly tribulation.

Cultivation is powerful and can retain a trace of immortal spiritual consciousness, at this time, whoever answers yes or can't, then the family will be unlucky.

Legend has it in the village that there was once such a family, and the fox fairy went to the door to ask the heavens, and the children of this family were naughty, so they replied no.

As a result, the fox fairy was really struck by lightning when he crossed the heavenly tribulation, his body was destroyed, and a wisp of spiritual consciousness escaped from the heavenly tribulation, and he took away a fox king.

Then a crazy revenge was launched, and the family's level or sheep would be bitten and dragged away by foxes.

What's even more terrifying is that at night, thousands of foxes surrounded the family, and in less than ten days, the child who couldn't answer at the beginning was swollen all over, and began to fester, and began to fester from his toes and shed foul-smelling corpse fluid, which was actually a living corpse.

It took three months for the child to die after suffering a lot of pain.

Thinking of this legend, Ergouzi hurriedly replied through the window: "It's done!" ”

As he answered, a burst of fire suddenly rose from the courtyard and flew into the mountains in the distance.

The second dog was frightened too much this night, but this was not over, just when he was in a daze and seemed to be asleep, he suddenly heard a snapping sound from the window, so he hurriedly looked at the window, only to see a human face and hands peeping into the room on the window.

Dirty stuff coming to the house?

Thinking of this, Ergouzi rolled his eyes, was frightened and fainted, and didn't know anything.

He didn't wake up the next day, he was still asleep, his whole body was burning, he couldn't wake up, and he was talking nonsense.

This can make his mother-in-law anxious, and hurry to the only barefoot doctor in the village who knows a little about Chinese medicine to invite this old man to show Ergouzi.

Although Lao Langzhong does not have any medical qualifications, he does have a hand, especially the ancient Chinese medicine, and a large part of them know how to practice magic.

In ancient times, the magic penetrated into three hundred and sixty lines, each line has its own unique magic to deal with some fierce ghosts, among which the thirteen needles of chasing souls handed down by traditional Chinese medicine are the representatives of them, and the thirteen needles are pierced, if there is something dirty on the person's body, it will inevitably be completely nailed to death.

However, there are very few Chinese medicine doctors who know how to chase the soul thirteen needles, and this kind of unique skill is generally passed on in a single line, and it is passed on to the son but not to the daughter.

This Lang Zhong naturally doesn't chase the thirteen needles of the soul, but the seven absolute needles handed down by his family are also very powerful, and one needle can detect whether the patient is really sick or has something dirty into the body.

After the old man came, he first looked at the old way and asked to cut, and then he wrote a prescription for the dragon and snake, the old Chinese medicine doctor lived here for generations, and the medicinal materials prescribed were all ordinary medicinal materials produced in the mountains, but there were some differences in usage.

Then he took out a silver needle and pierced it on the middle point of the second dog, and with the twisting of his fingers, the body of the second dog trembled for a while, and his mouth made a sound that he didn't know what to say.

"Sure enough, I wiped the yin qi!"

After the old Chinese medicine doctor finished speaking, he quickly took out the remaining six silver needles and pierced them along the body of the two dogs, Tiantu, Huagai, Xuanji, Zifu, and Dantian, and in the blink of an eye, the five silver needles pierced down, and the two dogs trembled violently, and their eyes opened, but there was no focus.

"I'll count to three, if you don't leave again, don't blame me for this desperate needle, one!"

The last needle is on the top of the head Baihui acupoint, which is called sealing the gate of heaven, a needle down, if the dirty thing does not go, it will be nailed, the soul will be scattered, completely disappear in the world, even the ghost can not be done. (To be continued......)
