Chapter 196: Haunted House
The ghost king turned out to be Mrs. Zhang. And their family has passed down from generation to generation, and the art of carving soul rings has been passed down. It's a pity that Mrs. Zhang's craftsmanship is no longer effective, but Wushuang has not yet comprehended it. Therefore, this craft is temporarily lost.
We all believe in Mrs. Zhang's words. Except for Mushuang. In her words: "You must be cautious about recognizing relatives. "
When I thought about it, it was true. If it is left in the past, we can go to the hospital to do an appraisal, whether it is a comparison of relatives can be obtained. But for those who are cultivators, it's not that easy.
What if the other party borrows the corpse to return the soul? No matter how close the physical factors are, the soul is not his own relatives.
He said: "I have heard that there will be a trace on the soul of any relative. It can be checked. "
We asked curiously, "What traces?" Where is it? "
Paper Zha Wu shook his head: "I don't know the specifics." It's just a little bit of it, and everyone has heard about it, but no one has seen it. "
Wushuang's expression was indifferent: "It seems that if you want to determine her identity, you must either wait for me to carve a soul ring, or rescue my father." "
Mrs. Zhang nodded unhesitantly: "It should indeed be like this." "
I stood up, my neck a little sore. I sat here for half the night, and it was almost dawn. However, Paper Zha Wu suddenly asked suspiciously: "Mrs. Zhang, what did your ancestors do?" "
Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?" "
Paper Zha Wu said: "Are you Taoist priests? "
Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "No, it's just an ordinary person." There are ancestors from all walks of life. "
Paper Zha Wu was full of doubts: "That's strange, there are so many Taoist priests in the world, why do you carve the soul lock ring?" "
Mrs. Zhang thought for a while and said, "Perhaps, our family's ancestors have had some chances." Moreover, I heard from the elders of the family that once the eldest daughter comprehends the soul ring, she must leave home and travel. "
Paper Zha Wu frowned: "Traveling? "
Mrs. Zhang nodded: "But I guess that the trip is fake, and avoiding trouble is real." I have a feeling that there are always people who want to catch people in our family. It's like catching me and Wushuang. "
We all nodded. Mrs. Zhang said that the two people back then were related to the underworld, and it seems that after we rescue Zhang Yuan, we should be able to understand some things.
The thin man looked at the sky: "It's almost dawn, let's rest and then go find a real ghost town." "
The rest of us dispersed and went back to our rooms to rest.
In the corridor, I saw Wen Yu walking without saying a word, with a lonely face. I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?" "
Wen Yu shook her head: "It's nothing. Then she looked at me, "Rest early, and we'll go find a ghost town later." "
Then she pushed the door open and went back into the house.
I looked at the Huangquan Road on the door, sighed, and cursed: "It's really unlucky." Then he went back to the house.
I slept until almost noon. We had a hasty meal and then we went out.
The sun was strong outside. Wushuang and I were wrapped in black veils, like two Arab friends.
We asked a few old people in a targeted manner, and they knew a lot about the legends of the ghost town of Fengdu. However, these legends are false as soon as they are heard.
We inquired around and found nothing. Then sit in front of a bun stand and discuss the stories you have heard.
The owner of the steamed bun stall listened to him for a while, and suddenly said, "What you said is made up." Those old men sat on the side of the road and told stories. They are all hired by the government at the expense of the government to create an atmosphere for tourist attractions. "
A few of us were a little embarrassed. It's a shame that we are still cultivators, and we have been discussing some stories for so long.
Wushuang said to the boss: "Their story is made up, is it possible that you have a true story?" "
The boss smiled proudly: "This girl is the right person." I do have a real one. "
I looked at him with interest, and my heart was filled with joy, could it be that this person had seen a real ghost town? I eagerly asked, "What's going on?" Can you tell us about it? "
The boss nodded: "Of course." Then he let out a long sigh, like a storyteller, to set the mood for a moment, and then said, "Have you heard of it?" The mat sleeps on the clay kang, and the salt seller drinks light soup. Small business, life is tight. I only want to make money for my own livelihood, and I am never willing to eat a bite and use a little. "
We nodded: "What about later?" "
The boss said, "I've been setting up a stall here for more than ten years. Selling steamed buns all day long, looking at those ghosts, amusement city, in and out, I didn't go in and take a look. It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm reluctant to pay for it. Speaking of this, the boss suddenly smiled embarrassedly: "Later, I couldn't resist my curiosity and went in to play once." However, it was sneaked in. "
We asked him, "Did you see something dirty that time?" "
The boss nodded: "That haunted house has a rule, that is, it must be closed before twelve o'clock. It just so happened that I closed the stall a little late that day, and when I saw that the people in the haunted house were all gone, and the people on duty were also asleep, I quietly touched in. To tell you the truth, many of the people who usually come to me to eat steamed buns have entered that haunted house, and everyone who has been there has praised it, saying how exciting and fun this haunted house is. It's itchy in my heart, and I want to give it a try.
"When I went in, I saw that it was gloomy and dark. As you know, it was already off work at that time, and there were no lights on here. So I took out my flashlight and walked around here with a flashlight. I don't know if it's because I've lived in Fengdu for most of my life, but I don't seem to be too afraid of these gods and ghosts. This way I walked in and saw that there was a bridge inside, and the ghost gate was closed. It's pretty much the same as the legend says.
"I took a turn and didn't think there was anything new, so I went outside. When I turned around, I found that there were many dark shadows floating around, and when I looked closely, I couldn't see anything. Originally, I thought it was a scare in the amusement city. But then I thought about it, and it was already after work. How can there be a dark shadow floating here? Could it be that you have seen a real ghost?
This scared me so much that I stumbled and ran outside. As a result, I ran for less than two steps, and saw a lot of tablets in front of me. In front of each tablet is a candle lit with a faint light. Now I know better, I must have bumped into something. I didn't have any of those things when I came in. I cautiously walked around the tablets. As I walked like this, I suddenly saw the words on the tablet, which scared me out of my mind. That's my name written on it. "
We looked at the owner of the bun stall in a daze: "What happened later?" And then you ran out. "
The boss nodded: "Yes, I ran out later." It was so scary that I won't go again. "
I scratched my head and asked him, "When did this happen?" "
The boss thought for a while: "It was only two days ago. "
We looked at him sympathetically. No one said anything. The things of ghosts and gods have never been groundless. When the boss saw his tablet, it was going to be a bloody disaster in the past two days. Or maybe his longevity has arrived, or maybe someone is casting a spell to harm him.
The boss sells steamed buns here, and he comes into contact with all kinds of people every day. Seeing that a few of us looked wrong, I couldn't help asking, "How many?" What's wrong with you guys? "
We waved our hands: "Not much." "
Suddenly, the boss looked at the peachwood sword I put on the table and asked tentatively, "Are you Taoist priests?" "
I nodded: "You see that?" "
The boss nodded gloomily, and then said, "Masters, are you hiding something from me?" I think your eyes have changed since I said that. "
The sloppy Taoist priest looked at the boss and said, "I see that your Yin Hall is black, I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster recently." "
To be honest, this opening sentence has been used by the fake Taoist priest. When a dummy meets a person and opens his mouth, this is it, don't think about it, just punch it, and the other party is most likely a liar.
But in this situation, the boss couldn't help but believe it. The buns stopped steaming and sat down next to us: "Master, how do you say this?" "
The sloppy Taoist priest said, "I'm afraid there is a lot of trouble with the tablets you see. Do you know the owner of the playground? "
The owner of the bun stall nodded again and again: "Yes, his name is Ma San." We all said hello when we met. "
The sloppy Taoist priest asked him, "Do you have a grudge against him?" "
The owner of the steamed bun stall looked a little relaxed: "No hatred, no hatred, the well water does not interfere with the river water." "
The sloppy Taoist priest looked at the boss and said, "Then it's troublesome." "
The boss's face was about to cry: "What's the trouble?" "
The sloppy Taoist priest said, "If it weren't for Ma San wanting to harm you. Basically, there is only one possibility, and it is that you are about to end your life. It is estimated that in a few days, there will be a bad luck to catch you. "
The words made the boss break out in a cold sweat. A face was pale, and it was already terrified to the extreme.
Then he fell to his knees with a thud, and he didn't care that the bustling street was full of people, but just cried and shouted: "Master, you must save me, I have old and young, get up early and steam steamed buns." I have raised my son for 20 years, and my hair has turned gray by half."
The thin man frowned: "Pull him up quickly, there are many fish and dragons here, don't attract the attention of others." "
A few of us coaxed and persuaded the boss to pull him up from the ground. I said to him, "Don't worry. If it is true that Yang Shou has arrived, the destiny of heaven cannot be violated, you should prepare for the future as soon as possible, but it is also possible that someone wants to harm you. Then we'll help you get rid of them. "
The boss nodded again and again: "Understood, understood." "
Then, I exchanged glances with the thin man. Anyway, things came out at Ma San's playground, and there was definitely something wrong with this kid.
