Chapter 37: Paper Figures

Outside the sedan chair, there was no appearance of the terrifying ghost king I imagined, it was pitch black, there was not even a trace of moonlight, I could only hear the wind blowing the surrounding trees, making a "rustling" sound.

But it is this seemingly ordinary that makes people even more frightening.

The two palanquin bearers have long since run away, that is, at least for a few kilometers, I am the only living person.

I was still tied with a rope on my body, I couldn't walk, and I struggled to roll off the sedan chair, my posture was very inelegant, but I couldn't care so much about it.

My eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and I saw a sharp stone protruding in front of me, and I rolled over with all my might, and put the rope that bound me on the stone, trying to grind it away.

One time, two times......

Seeing that the rope was a little thinner, I was overjoyed and sped up my movements.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a strange "squeak" in my ears.

The voice is far and near, and it is unpredictable,

"Who is it?" I wanted to ask, but all I could get out of my mouth was a "woo-woo" sound.

Suddenly, I felt a chill behind me, as if something was staring at me, I slowly turned my head, and a cold sweat came out of my back.

Behind me, I don't know when it was densely packed with paper figures.

These paper figures are only about a meter tall, and on their faces, there are only eyes and mouths, but it is these eyes that are staring at me humanely.

The strange sound of "squeaking" before came from the mouths of these papermen.

What's even more weird is that with such a strong wind, their seemingly light and fluttering bodies are motionless, as if these paper figures all weigh thousands of pounds.

Anyone who is a fool can tell that something is wrong.

I felt my scalp explode, swallowed hard, and the rope grinding on the stone also sped up, but fortunately, these paper figures just looked at me and didn't make any other movements.

After grinding for about a few minutes, I let go of my hand and felt the rope that bound my hand be sharpened.

I first removed the cloth from my mouth and then took the rope off my body.

My legs and feet went numb, and when I stood up, I almost fell to my knees again.

I don't know when the ghost king will come, the sooner I get out of here, the better, I tried to overcome the weakness of my body and get myself on my feet.

I was going to run with my legs, but I stopped just two steps back.

Turning around, he bowed to these paper figures, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, I accidentally came to your place and disturbed me, I'll leave." ”

After speaking, I turned around again, silently reading in my heart, I apologized, don't embarrass me, don't embarrass me.

I don't know if the bow I just gave was effective, but these paper figures still didn't move when they saw me running.

But after I ran for almost ten minutes, I noticed a problem.

The more I ran, the more and more paper people around me, the denser and denser, and even I saw the red lips of the paper figures, painted with red brushes, slowly cracking.

It's like mocking me for doing useless work.

I panicked, I was obviously running down the mountain, it shouldn't be that I ran in the wrong direction and strayed into the ghost nest!

Suddenly, the paper figures around me moved, and they retreated neatly and surrounded me, only to make way for a one-man passage in front of me.

Look at the way they look and let me pass?

My teeth chattered, but there was no other way out, and I was surrounded by paper figures on all sides.

I gritted my teeth in my heart, anyway, with these paper people, I can't run out, and I just want to see what this ghost king who pretends to be a mountain god looks like!

In the process of running, I already realized in my heart that this time I was not the same as the previous one when I was lured into the ghost path.

On the contrary, it is a bit like the experience of this girl called Xiao Xiao before she died before I experienced this village again.

But why did she want me to go through it all over again?

As I walked on, maybe for a few minutes, maybe for hours, I felt the chill around me get heavier and heavier, and when I turned my head, I saw that there was some ice ballast on the trees beside me.

At this time, I suddenly felt a strong smell of blood coming from in front of me, has the ghost king arrived?

Sure enough, an illusory figure slowly appeared in front of me, he was wearing a black robe, and the whole person was packed in, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he could only feel from the black fog around him that this was indeed a ghost king.

"You're coming for me?" He opened his mouth, and his voice was strange, as if it was a mixture of a dozen voices, "Hehehe, I knew you would come to me on your own initiative." ”

After listening to his words, if I hadn't repeatedly told myself to be a lady, I would have had the urge to scold my mother at that moment.

Obviously, I was tied up to the mountain, and I was forced to come by these paper figures, but how did I get into his mouth, and I took the initiative to find him.

He walked towards me with an affectionate look, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"I'm not the person you're waiting for, you, you've recognized the wrong person......" I panicked and wanted to run back.

But there were paper figures all behind me, and I hadn't run a few steps before I bumped into a paper figure and fell to the ground hard.

"Hiss"

I felt a pain in my feet, gasped, and at this critical time, my foot was ......, and I felt a sense of despair when I looked at the ghost king who was getting closer and closer to me.

What I didn't expect was that after this ghost king came over, he didn't blame me, but instead ruthlessly glanced at the paper man I bumped into just now.

I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I could feel the coldness in his eyes, and a cold snort came out of his mouth, "You dare to hurt even her, damn it!" ”

After he finished speaking, in just a few seconds, the paper man's body actually burned, and there were constantly miserable cries and begs for mercy coming out of the paper man's mouth.

It's as if it's a real person burning in front of you.

Seeing this scene, a thought that came to my mind before!

The paper figures sent by Wang Yu to greet his relatives at the beginning looked a little different from these, but they looked very similar on the whole.

What's more, I went downstairs to listen to the aunt downstairs say that when those paper figures were burned, there was a faint scream!

What is the relationship between this ghost king and Wang Yu!

Could it be that this ghost king is the old man in Wang Yu's mouth, the one who killed our whole class and transferred Wang Yu's corpse to this mountain, is the guy in front of him who pretended to be a mountain god?

While I was thinking, the ghost king had already reached out and wanted to help me up.

His hands were cold, cold to the bone.

The moment it touched my skin, I felt goosebumps all over my body.

His gaze was complicated, and he seemed to have a lot to say to me, but seeing my eyes full of fear, in the end, he just sighed, "Well, since you are so afraid of me, then I will draw your soul out of it as soon as possible, and make you less painful." ”

"Pump, Soul Pump?" This sentence was like five thunderbolts to me, and I struggled hard, but in his eyes, it was like a child tickling.

I watched with my own eyes, and a light slowly emerged from my body.

This is my soul that was drained out?

Why don't I feel any discomfort in my body?

No, when the soul slowly formed a human form, I could see clearly that it was not me, but the appearance of the female ghost I had seen earlier.

Didn't she ask me to die for her? Why is she the one who pulls out her soul?!

The female ghost's expression was similar to mine, and she was also trembling, and I noticed that her eyes were anxious, and she seemed to look at me for help.

Or rather, looking at my waist.

I followed her gaze and touched it, and a hard thing appeared in my hand, which was the stone tablet I picked up in the cave at the foot of Sukou Mountain.

I remember that the old Taoist priest said that after I got out of the mountain, I would throw it away, but so many things happened after I came out that I forgot about it.

What's the use of this thing?
