In the middle of the night, in the middle of the mountains, the ruined Taoist temple and the room where the coffin was stored made a strange sound, and many factors superimposed on Zuo Dengfeng instantly made Zuo Dengfeng feel terrified, and the cold breath of gasping quickly spread from his chest to his whole body, and after a while, he only felt cold.

People will have the phenomenon of stagnation of their thinking in the case of extreme panic, and this is the current situation for Zuo Dengfeng, sitting stupidly, shaking like chaff. There was only one thought in his mind, no wonder the previous chief refused to send someone to show him the way, it turned out that this bird place was haunted.

After a long time, Zuo Dengfeng finally recovered his mind from the fright, his first thought was that there were no ghosts in this world, and even if there were ghosts, ghosts did not need to walk, and the legend said that they were all floating.

Thinking of this, the fear in Zuo Dengfeng's heart was greatly reduced, but then another more terrifying thought surfaced in his heart, the sound of footsteps in the north room was still continuing, which meant that there was indeed something walking inside, and the possible surname of the ghost had been ruled out.

In the face of unknown dangers, different people have different reactions, and most people will choose to flee in panic, which comes from the instinct of human beings to seek good fortune and avoid evil. And a small number of people choose to face and overcome, this move relies not only on courage, but also on the stubbornness in the bones, Zuo Dengfeng is a stubborn person.

"I'm going to see what you are today?" Zuo Dengfeng shouted hysterically, grabbed the kitchen knife beside him and got off the kang.

After getting off the kang, Zuo Dengfeng fell, and there were two reasons for the fall, one was that he had just come here, and he was not familiar with the height of the paved kang, and he stepped on the air in the dark. Another reason was that he was trembling in extreme fear and unsteady on his feet, and although he rushed down shouting, it did not mean that he was not afraid in his heart.

After falling, Zuo Dengfeng quickly got up and ran into the main house, kicked open the door of the main house, and after the door was kicked open, a little moonlight came in, which made Zuo Dengfeng a little bolder, and walked to the door of the north house with a kitchen knife, and kicked his feet.

But this time he couldn't kick the door open, and he kicked again, but he still couldn't kick the door open, and Zuo Dengfeng remembered that he had tied the two doors together with a rope before he went to sleep.

At this moment, there was another sound in the north room, this time much quieter than the sound of the wood falling to the ground before, mixed with the hollowness caused by the pressure of the air, which was produced by closing the lid of the coffin.

"Fuck you, don't run." Zuo Dengfeng was even more bold when he heard the sound, brandished a kitchen knife to cut the rope on the door, raised his foot and kicked the door open, and after entering the house, he rushed straight to the black coffin, brandishing the kitchen knife and slashing the coffin lid frantically.

"Come out for Lao Tzu!" Zuo Dengfeng was furious and wanted to lift the lid of the coffin, but no matter how hard he tried, the lid of the coffin never moved.

"Aren't you trying to scare me, run for what? Come out! Zuo Dengfeng unsuccessfully lifted the coffin, and picked up the kitchen knife again to chop the coffin lid to vent his anger.

After a long time, Zuo Dengfeng finally exhausted his strength and sat down on the ground, at this moment, he suddenly found that the black coffin was placed directly on the ground, this situation made him suspicious, and he immediately thought that under this coffin was a secret passage, and the person who tried to intimidate him entered the room through the tunnel.

Thinking of this, Zuo Dengfeng immediately stood up with a kitchen knife, walked out of the house and came to the middle of the courtyard, staring at the closed door of the west chamber by the faint moonlight.

There are only him and the woman in this Taoist temple, and the only possibility is that the woman entered the north room of the east chamber from the secret passage and deliberately made a noise to scare him, the purpose of which was naturally not to let him stay here.

The reason why Zuo Dengfeng did not enter the West Chamber immediately was because his compassion suppressed his anger, a young woman living alone in the deep mountains, said that Zi must have lived a very hard life, not only to beware of wild beasts but also to beware of bad people, Zuo Dengfeng could imagine her suffering. Another point is that Zuo Dengfeng knew that this woman didn't want to harm him, otherwise, he could enter his sleeping place through the main house without a door latch, and there was no need to pretend to be a ghost at all.

The pile of ashes in the middle of the courtyard reminded Zuo Dengfeng of the scene of the woman baking sweet potatoes, thin and weak, living alone in the mountains, lonely, hungry, such a poor woman, why bother her again?

"I offended my superiors, so they sent me here to guard the Taoist temple, and if I left here, they would stop paying me my salary and my family would starve. I don't want to stay here either, but I can't go. Don't scare me in the future, I won't bully you. After hesitating for a long time, Zuo Dengfeng finally did not rush into the West Chamber, put aside his words, and turned around and returned to the East Chamber.

After being shocked into a cold sweat, Zuo Dengfeng couldn't fall asleep again for a long time, and tossed and turned until the early hours of the morning before he was confused. When he woke up, the sun was shining, Zuo Dengfeng raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock, and Zuo Dengfeng, the watch given to him by Old Man Wang, had always regarded it as a treasure.

After getting off the kang, Zuo Dengfeng took off his watch and pushed the door while winding it and walked out, after going out, Zuo Dengfeng found that there was a porcelain bowl on the steps at the door, and in the bowl were a few ripe dates.

Seeing the dates in the bowl, Zuo Dengfeng subconsciously looked up at the West Chamber, only to see that there was a small crack in the door of the West Chamber, and a black and white eye was staring at him from the crack in the door.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Dengfeng smiled and retracted his gaze, sat on the steps and picked up the porcelain bowl, grabbed a date and took a bite, the date that had been beaten by the autumn frost was very sweet.

"Come out." Zuo Dengfeng opened his mouth to the West Chamber. These dates were naturally sent by the woman, and the purpose was self-evident, to apologize for scaring Zuo Dengfeng last night. Zuo Dengfeng's willingness to eat the dates she sent actually means that he has forgiven her. In addition, the reason why Zuo Dengfeng wants to sit down is because sitting and talking can eliminate the other party's nervousness to the greatest extent.

After Zuo Dengfeng finished speaking, it took a long time for the door of the West Chamber to be pushed open, and the ragged woman walked out of the room and sat on the steps of the West Chamber to stare at Zuo Dengfeng.

It was close to noon at this time, and the light was bright, and Zuo Dengfeng was finally able to take a closer look at her, this woman was wearing a worn sworn placket padded jacket, which had probably not been washed for many years, and the dust and dirt adhered to it and had already covered the true color of the padded jacket. The lower body is wearing a cotton pants, the situation is similar to the cotton jacket, it is also very dirty, there are many scratches on it, the cotton is already exposed, in addition, the cuffs of the cotton jacket and the trouser legs of the cotton pants are a little short, which indicates that this set of clothes is likely to be her girlhood.

Her hair was long and messy, and it had been beaten in locks because it hadn't been brushed for years, and there were a lot of grass clippings hanging from it. Although the light was very good at this time, Zuo Dengfeng still couldn't see her facial features clearly, and the dirt on her face had accumulated from not washing her face for many years, and it was not deliberately blackened.

"Where are you from?" After looking at it for a moment, Zuo Dengfeng asked. The woman hadn't opened her mouth since last night, so Zuo Dengfeng couldn't tell where she was from by her accent.

The woman slowly shook her head when she heard Zuo Dengfeng's question, but did not answer.

"You scared me so much last night, if I were a bad guy, I would have rushed in and beat you up, let's go." Zuo Dengfeng smiled and spoke.

The woman smiled in response, and in a smile, her teeth were revealed. This scene was seen by the careful Zuo Dengfeng, and he felt that this woman should be under the age of twenty-five, because rural people do not have the conditions to brush their teeth, and when they are young, their teeth will be yellow.

"Why don't you speak?" Zuo Dengfeng asked suspiciously.

The woman gestured to her lips and shook her head.

"Oh." Zuo Dengfeng suddenly realized that she was a mute.

"How long have you been here?" Zuo Dengfeng asked curiously.

The woman's face was embarrassed when she heard this, and it was clear that she did not know how to express it more accurately.

Seeing this, Zuo Dengfeng shook his head helplessly, stood up and walked back to the room, took out the two white buns that he hadn't eaten yesterday from his blanket and put them in the bowl, and then walked out of the room and walked towards the woman, who hurriedly stood up when she saw this.

"Here's for you." Zuo Dengfeng handed the porcelain bowl to the woman.

When the woman saw Bai Bao, her eyes lit up immediately, but in the end, she shook her head and didn't take the porcelain bowl in Zuo Dengfeng's hand.

"What's your name?" Zuo Dengfeng smiled and stuffed the porcelain bowl into the woman's hand. This year, white buns are a rare thing, and countrymen may not be able to eat them during the New Year.

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Dengfeng immediately felt that he was being strong again, this woman couldn't speak, how could she say her name.

What Zuo Dengfeng didn't expect was that the woman put down the porcelain bowl when she heard this, picked up a stone nearby and wrote three words on the gray brick on the ground.

"Witch Heart?" Zuo Dengfeng was surprised to find that this woman wrote seal characters on the gray bricks, and the handwriting was very beautiful, which showed that she had received a good unorthodox education before, and the reason why it was said to be unorthodox education was because the current schools and private schools did not teach seal characters. If I hadn't worked in the cultural institute, I wouldn't have been able to recognize these three seal characters.

Wu Xinyu immediately nodded lightly when he heard this, signaling that Zuo Dengfeng had read correctly.

"Who taught you to read?" Zuo Dengfeng asked curiously.

"Master." Wu Xinyu was written again.

"Your master is a Taoist priest here?" Zuo Dengfeng asked suspiciously.

Wu Xinyu nodded, but then shook her head again.

"Where's your master?" Zuo Dengfeng didn't understand why Wu Xinyu nodded and shook his head. But at this moment, he finally knew that this woman had not fled here, but had been living in this Taoist temple.

"Left ten years ago." Wu Xinyu was written in stone again, and her seal characters were very small, and these characters were all written on the same gray brick.

"How old were you then?" Zuo Dengfeng indirectly asked her age.

Wu Xinyu didn't answer immediately this time, but frowned thoughtfully.

"You're a girl, aren't you afraid to live in the mountains?" Zuo Dengfeng saw that she didn't want to reveal her age, so he changed to another question.

As soon as Zuo Dengfeng's question came out, he immediately regretted it, because Wu Xinyu's eyes and expression immediately became extremely vigilant after hearing this, threw away the stone in his hand, stood up and walked into the west chamber and closed the door, and the porcelain bowl containing the white bun was not taken away.

I've been communicating well before, how can I say that I will turn my face? Zuo Dengfeng was stunned. But soon he understood the reason, he knew that Wu Xinyu was a woman, but Wu Xinyu thought that he didn't know, so after he said her surname, she would suddenly become vigilant.

"I won't ask, I'll leave the bun for you to eat." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head helplessly, and instead stood up and walked to the main hall to the north.

Approaching the main hall, Zuo Dengfeng suddenly heard the sound of opening the door behind him, Zuo Dengfeng turned his head to look back, and found that Wu Xinyu pushed open the door and ran towards him. Before Zuo Dengfeng could react, Wu Xinyu rushed to the door of the main hall and stretched out his arms to block Zuo Dengfeng's way.

This situation made Zuo Dengfeng puzzled, looked at Wu Xinyu in front of him, and then looked up at the main hall of the Taoist temple that had no gate in front of him, Wu Xinyu's move was obviously to prevent him from entering the main hall,

What was in the hall, and why didn't she let herself in......
