I looked at these wet people, they were lining up, one step at a time.

These people rise and fall, with exactly the same frequency and movements. They walked to the door of the cave and pulled the chains out of their bosoms.

They hooked the souls of the corpses, chained them, strung them together, and dragged them away.

It's all too familiar. I whispered, "Are they bad?" ”

I've just said that. Suddenly, the shadows took two steps, and then they turned and looked at a few of us.

The old man looked nervous, and it seemed that he was frightened.

Those yin cha looked at us for a while, and didn't move. Just walked forward slowly.

The old man looked at the gloom in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief. He lay down on the ground and complained, "Young man, you almost killed us." ”

I asked, "What's wrong?" I know those people just now, it's a bad thing. ”

The old man looked at me and said, "I also know that it was a bad thing. Don't think that because we're not cultivators, we don't understand anything. ”

I smiled slightly, leaned against the mound and asked, "What do you know?" ”

The old man said proudly, "We have invited these bad guys." Of course we understand≡ after these corpses survived for no reason, we went to the Land Temple to burn paper. Because these are dead people, the Lord of the Land is in charge of the dead. After burning the paper like this for two days. The Lord of the Land will be revealed. Give us dreams, let us lock up all the dead bodies we meet. Then there will be a yin difference to collect. ”

I wondered, "It's that simple?" ”

The old man nodded and replied, "Of course, it's that simple. However, these bad men are not little ghosts, they are all immortals. Don't be slack. After they are gone, we have to go to the land temple to make vows and burn paper to make offerings. Two days ago, a child didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and shouted at the old man: "Hurry like a law." As a result, the kid started to have a fever that night. It's nonsense again, and it's hysteria again. It's been three days and three nights. ”

I listened to what the old man said decently, and I couldn't help but be a little curious: "The land lord here is so effective?" I'll have to meet him sometime. ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "These evil ghosts have been subdued, we are going to the Land Temple as usual to thank the Land Master, you should come with you." ”

I nodded. Followed.

On the way, the old man said that at the beginning, these dead bodies were all newly deceased, and many of them were acquaintances. After the souls of these men were taken away, their bodies were reburied.

As a result, the next day, the corpses returned. So, they simply burned the body. The poor local government has been cremating here for many years, fining and digging graves, but with little success, and finally because of a haunted incident, everyone has consciously started cremation.

It's just that no matter how the corpses are burned, at night, there are always new corpses appearing, so they are always not at peace at night, and they have to toss until midnight every day, cooperating with the yin to control those corpses.

We followed the village chief to the vicinity of the Land Temple. The villagers knelt in two rows, each holding incense and candles in their hands, and sincerely thanked the land lord.

I saw that the tribute in front of me contained wine, meat, dumplings, and fruits. I can't help but be moved.

It seems that if a person wants to fall, it is actually very fast. For example, I'm a complete beggar now. When I see something delicious, I always want to get something for nothing, so I take it away. As for integrity and dignity, they don't pay much attention to it.

I looked at the land lord in the temple from a distance, it was just an ordinary clay sculpture. There's no land lord on it at all.

I looked at the devout villagers and couldn't help but scoff.

Half an hour later, this set of respectful etiquette finally ended. The old man looked at me and Chang'e: "Don't look at us as villagers and think that we don't understand anything. Actually, we also understand. These bad men come to catch those souls every day, but they are actually treating the symptoms but not the root cause. You are cultivators, and it stands to reason that you are the closest to the gods. Can you help us to consult with the Bodhisattva, and say that we already know that we are wrong. Don't punish us people anymore. ”

Then, without waiting for Chang'e and I to answer, he enthusiastically dragged us to the village: "Come on, don't sleep in the cave." I'll find you a place. One trick is fresh, eat all over the world, those of you who have the ability, you should enjoy happiness. ”

I waved my hand and said, "Go first." I'll get to you later. ”

Chang'e also stopped: "Then I won't go either." ”

I sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at the statue of the Lord of the Earth intently: "You go first, and I'll look for you later." I want to be on my own for a while. You've been following me for a few months, can you let me take a break? ”

Chang'e was stunned for a moment, then nodded and followed the old man. She's so powerful that no one can hurt her, so I'm relieved. In the same way, she also knew that I couldn't avoid her, so she was relieved.

When the old man was leaving, he said to me: "My house is in the third household at the entrance of the village, and the red gate is, don't go wrong." ”

I said yes weakly.

By this time it was already dark. There are no street lights in the village. The villagers had gone back, leaving me to sit in the darkness by myself.

I sighed and reached out to take the wine from the front of the land lord.

Then, he took a sip with his neck up. The chickens and ducks on the plate and the fruits in the basket have all been made by me.

In the end, I was a little dizzy.

I lay next to the idol with my head resting on the feet of the Lord of the Earth. I was dazed and wanted to fall asleep.

However, it is a time when I am drowsy. I suddenly smelled a ghost in my nose. This ghost is getting bigger and bigger, and gradually, there is a tendency to surround me.

Though I am decadent, though drunk. But after all, it's not an ordinary person.

I immediately stood up. That's when I found out. I was already surrounded by four or five people with hats on their heads.

These people were drenched and dripping water from under them. They were none other than the Yin Gang I had just seen.

I chuckled, "What kind of rhythm is this?" Beat up the water dogs? Or was the tiger in Pingyang bullied by dogs? ”

I staggered to my feet, pointed to the shadows and said, "What do you mean? What do you want to do? ”

At this time, a man behind him said, "I have heard that some people were brave enough to eat the offerings to the gods. So, our brother was curious to take a look. Who the hell is so capable? ”

It's a familiar sound. "Who's talking, stand up for me." ”

Sure enough, someone separated from the crowd, stood up, looked at me with a smile and said, "Xu You, don't come to harm." ”

As soon as I saw this face, I immediately smiled: "Ghost envoy, why are you?" What are you doing here? ”

The ghost made him look tired. He walked over and said, "I'm a ghost, I have to come wherever there is something." Isn't it? Something is wrong here, so I was ordered to take these evil spirits to the underworld. Today I heard from Yin Cha that there is a person who cultivates the Tao here, and the Taoist technique seems to be very powerful, so I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you. Xu You, how did you get mixed up like this now? It's like a flower child. ”

I dodged the embarrassing question, then diverted the conversation and asked, "Why are there so many demons all of a sudden?" Do you know what's going on? ”

The ghost envoy shook his head: "I haven't found out yet. You know, there are places where we can't get in. However, it is certainly not what the villagers said, what kind of dung water was splashed on the idol, it is really nonsense. Now that you're here, you're here to help us find out. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly waved his hand again: "No, no, no, I can't let you check." I'll have to do it myself. ”

I ignored his self-talk.

I sighed, and then said with a little sadness, "Wushuang is gone." ”

The ghost envoy's expression was a little complicated, he glanced at me, and then asked, "Are you looking for Wushuang?" ”

I nodded, and then glanced at him absentmindedly: "You are always on an errand in the world, have you ever seen Wushuang?" ”

The ghost envoy looked at me a little strangely, and he said, "Don't you know? ”

I was a little apprehensive: "I don't know? Don't know what? ”

The ghost envoy sighed and said, "Xu You, don't look for Wushuang anymore, there is no Wushuang in the world anymore." ”
