Chapter 8 Man is more terrible than ghosts

When I left the Li family mine and secretly wanted to go into the house to change clothes, a cold snort came from behind me.

My eyes were dark, and I knew that this training must be inevitable.

"Yo, our little treasure road has grown up, and we can go out to subdue demons and eliminate demons, my master is really proud of your master, seeing that you encountered something like this last night is very powerful?"

The teacher lay on the edge of the window, leaned out half of her body, and squeezed out a piece of white flowers, which shook me so much that I couldn't open my eyes.

Listening to such cynicism, I trembled with anger, but I couldn't argue with it, and I didn't dare to talk back.

Lying on the bed, I really didn't have the energy to take care of the woman, and I was thinking about making up for it quickly, but all I was thinking about was the two things I met last night.

I'm really a little unconvinced, why didn't the soul locking array I laid out in the book have no effect, if I hadn't run fast, maybe I wouldn't have come back.

Turning over from the bed, he took out the two broken books left by the master, and looked at them patiently.

I wasn't born with a reading head, and my master didn't focus on training it before, so now it looks like a lot of black pressed words and patterns, which will only give me a headache.

"How could it not work?"

I rubbed my eyebrows vigorously, and after reading for a long time, I also felt that whether it was the use of materials or the order of the arrangement, it was exactly the same as what was described in the book.

"Of course, the things that cure ghosts only have an effect on ghosts......

As soon as I looked up, my mother seemed to be a ghost, I don't know when she had stood by my window, raising her eyebrows and smiling, and I felt hot in my heart.

However, my heart moved, and I felt as if I had caught some key clue, but when I thought about it, I felt that it was unlikely.

It's not a ghost, so what's that?

The thing didn't touch the ground when it walked, and there was another black shadow, elusive, but like a human, able to pull my feet and neck.

Thinking of this, I looked down at my ankle, which I hadn't really looked at before, and there were two distinct handprints.

"How is this ghost mudra similar to a human?"

I shuddered, reached over and gestured, and felt that the black mark was not visible from under the skin, but as if it had been stained with ash.

Puzzled in his heart, he reached out and wiped it, and sure enough, he rubbed off a black thing, and then the black mark on his ankle had disappeared.

I raised my hand and sniffed it under my nose, and it felt very familiar, like ......

I caught a glimpse of the kerosene lamp on the table, and I had already come to the conclusion that it was clearly soot!

It is very likely that it is a person, and his whole body is covered with black soot, and the moonlight is not very real, and it is normal to look away in a panic.

Did you really let the master be right? The reason why the Locking Yang Great Array didn't have any effect on those two things was not because I didn't have the ability, nor because I had the wrong way of arranging the array, but because those two things weren't ghosts......

“tmd! Who dares to pretend to be a ghost? ”

I slapped the table and got up, then sat down again.

It's still the same question as before, it's not a ghost, it can only be a person, but how can a person run so fast, and his toes don't touch the ground when he walks, and it has just rained in the mountains, so he should leave footprints on the ground.

Flying on the grass, floating on the water or something, that's all, and it only appears in novels.

And those two things will react when they are touched by Huang Fu and Xiang Ash, this will definitely not be my delusion, I just read less books, and I am not blind!

Looking at the teacher who was still lying on the windowsill with a teasing face, I asked inadvertently.

"Master, do you know any way to walk without leaving footprints?"

"Shiniang is hungry, cook first!"

When I put the steaming meal on the table, the master held the cheeks in one hand and picked up two chopsticks with the other hand, and bored up and went back and forth on the table, crossing and fiddling forward, as if dancing.

My eyes gradually looked at my legs from the two chopsticks in my mother's hand, looked back and forth a few times, reached out and patted my head, and ran out directly regardless of the woman's anger.

The Li family's mine was not far from our village, and in less than half an hour, I had already arrived near the shack where I had encountered the ghost last night.

There was still incense ash scattered around, and the miners knew in awe that it was a thing to ward off evil spirits, so they didn't dare to step on it, and I searched carefully along the general location where I met the big black brother yesterday, and only my messy footprints and traces of falling to the ground and struggling were left around.

But I soon saw that there were some strange marks in my footprints, about the thickness of a wrist, square, and about a meter apart from each other.

Follow the strange mark all the way, and the mark eventually disappears into the col at the entrance to the mine.

Seeing this, I knew it in my heart, and at the same time I was afraid for a while.

Someone was here to scare me and nearly strangle me, though I didn't know what it was for, or who was doing it.

"No wonder that guy walks lightly and so fast......"

But then I thought that something was not quite right with the black shadow, that guy was down-to-earth, standing on the ground, if it was also a human pretend, it was impossible not to leave a trace.

I lay on the ground again, carefully searched, and sure enough, I found that among my footprints, there was actually another footprint hidden, but the other party's footprints were slightly smaller than mine, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell at all.

Another suspicion is plausible, and all indications point to man-made, not ghostly.

Of course, there are still a lot of doubts that have not been clarified, and it is still a little creepy to think about, such as the very real horror feeling, the cold aura on Big Black Brother's body, and the distorted and weird shadow......

Of course, all this remains to be proven.

It is now roughly certain that Lao Tzu was really tricked last night, and he was so frightened that he lost his demeanor.

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but want to scold a few words to vent the anger in my heart, but at the same time, a bigger question hung over my heart.

If there is no so-called haunting, what is the matter with the bodies of the three men who died horizontally, after all, that kind of death is unusual, and who is it, for what purpose is it to do such a thing, and what is hidden here?

I feel a headache, shouldn't this kind of thing be handed over to those professional criminal investigators to investigate, I'm just a half-little old man, why do I have to wade through this troubled water.

However, when I think about it, I was a little unwilling to have all kinds of encounters last night, so why let people put it on such a show.

Just when I was hesitating whether to get out of the way and get away from this right and wrong, it happened that a few miners who had just come out of the pit to rest walked over to the shack.

As we walked, we chatted about something, as if we were vaguely mentioning something like a dead person.

I walked over quietly, eavesdropping quietly.

"It's so miserable...... I still have a girl who is less than a month old......"

"Who says it's not, there is such a big mess, and the boss of the family is like a person who has nothing to do, still squeezing our blood and sweat to make money, is there still justice in this world?"

"Why don't you be haunted lately, don't you understand? I heard that I invited the old apprentice from the neighboring village to come yesterday, and I don't know if it will work, anyway, I went back this morning with a disgraced face. ”

Hearing this, my old face turned red, and I felt that my reputation in this life was probably about to be ruined in this mine.

The two of them were chatting to themselves, not noticing that I was following them, and I was very interested in what they had just said, and was about to continue listening, when someone called me from afar.

"Isn't this Brother Xiaobao? Our family's money is really not spent in vain, and the effort has come back after such a while? ”

The two workers in front of me, seeing the Li family father and son appear, immediately turned around quietly and walked away, Li Shan nodded at me, and then commanded the miners to work.

I didn't bother to take care of Li Ergou, so I turned around and went down the mountain directly.

All the way, I was thinking about the things I heard last night and just now, and I thought to myself, if I had the chance, I would have to chat with those miners more, maybe I could find out what news, the mine was just like what happened last night, it was not easy.

"My master doesn't want to nag you all the time, but don't you really want to hear what your master says?"

The woman chattered in my ear endlessly, which made me even more annoyed, and I replied casually.

"Didn't you say it all, if the method of curing ghosts doesn't work, it means that the whole thing is human! I didn't have any ghosts involved, the old man won't blame me! ”

"The more this is the case, the more you should stay honest and stop talking about useless things."

"Why?"

"People are more terrible than ghosts......"

Looking at the woman with an unfathomable face, there was a shock in my heart, yes, people are more terrible than ghosts, but at that time I didn't understand the meaning at all, but I felt that the teacher's preaching was a little sentimental.

In the evening, I resolutely went up the mountain, but this time I did not bring a mahogany sword, nor incense ash or cinnabar, but I hid a machete in my waist and two packets of quicklime.

Dog's day, I actually dare to pretend to be a ghost to scare Lao Tzu, if I don't beat you up and cry my father and call my mother, I won't call Song Xiaobao.

When I was leaving, my sister leaned on the door frame and sighed vigorously, as if she knew that even if it was forbidden, I would ignore it.

Seeing me come as promised, Li Shan's face clearly showed a relaxed look, and he probably admired my courage in his heart, but I was thinking, if this man knew that the haunted thing on the mine was actually man-made, what kind of expression would it be?

Of course, all this is not important, the important thing is that I will reveal the truth of the matter tonight, no matter who is behind the demon, as long as I find out, then this matter will be forgotten, not only can Yingzi's bride price money be gathered, maybe I can also take this opportunity to make a name for myself, and it can be regarded as worthy of the master's cultivation.

Now that I knew that there was no so-called haunting at all, I was a lot more courageous, and I didn't talk much nonsense, and went straight up the mountain.

At this time, it was not completely dark, and several miners were smoking and chatting in the shack, waiting for the successor to arrive.

I also wanted to use this opportunity to figure out what they were talking about.
