I ran all the way to Guo Blind's house, and again climbed down the poplar tree by the wall to the courtyard of Guo Blind's house, the moonlight was bright, the night was silent, and I was the only one in the village at this time.

Came to Guo's blind man's bed again, the wooden box on the shoe board at the bottom of his bed was still in its original position, and the keyhole of the box was still wrapped with copper wire, I squatted down and carefully unscrewed the copper wire, but at this time a faint voice suddenly came from my ears.

"Help me."

"Manman?" I looked around, and the voice just now was very similar to Zhou Manman's voice, but she was already gone, how could she still let me save him?

It must be because I felt guilty about not being able to save her and had auditory hallucinations, and what happened recently has greatly affected my sleep quality, and I am very depressed, and it is normal to have auditory hallucinations.

But when I touched the wooden box again, I vaguely noticed that someone was staring at me behind me, and I turned back sharply, and there was nothing behind me.

Just then, I suddenly heard a muffled sound, like someone jumping off a wall.

Although the villagers of Mingyue Village should have gone to the funeral of the old lady at this time, for the sake of safety, I did not turn on the lights when I entered the door, and if Guo Blind found out that I was not in the funeral procession, he would definitely be suspicious.

I hid behind the door of the hall and saw through the glass of the door a sneaky figure in the courtyard, it was the slightly chubby masked man who had broken into Guo's blind man's house last time.

The masked man pulled out a bloodstained peachwood sword from his bosom, and then walked into the side room, where the lights came on, and I quietly moved over to see the masked man rummaging through a dilapidated bookcase in the side room.

After searching for a long time, the masked man didn't seem to find what he wanted, so he rummaged around the house, and suddenly he was a little excited and brought out a clay pot from the large vat in the corner, which was sealed with a layer of mud and a yellow talisman on it.

The masked man said: "Zhou Manman, your ghost is not gone, the black veil on my head has not been removed, it means that your soul has not dispersed, don't blame me this time!" ”

As he spoke, the masked man slammed the clay pot in his hand to the ground, shattering the clay pot and sending dust and smoke everywhere.

"Ashes?" The masked man suddenly became angry when he looked at the mess on the ground, and he shouted loudly: "Zhou Manman, I know that you are in Guo Blind's house, if you have the ability, you can come out, otherwise don't blame me for killing Yang Hao!" ”

There was silence in the house, and there was no movement, and the masked man came out of the house after hysterically slashing inside the house.

"How can the method that grandpa said before he die not work, the sword coated with the blood of a baby can kill female ghosts, what is this blind man Guo going to do hiding Zhou Manman's soul?" The masked man muttered to himself with some exasperation.

I hid in the hall and had already determined that the masked man was Huang Yan'er, but was what he said true, Zhou Manman's soul was not destroyed at all!

Guo Blind made so many things in order to kill Zhou Manman's ghost in front of everyone, everyone thought that Zhou Manman's ghost was destroyed, but in the end, he, the initiator who took the lead in catching ghosts, kept Zhou Manman's soul behind it?

Huang Fu beckons ghosts, Huaimu raises ghosts, and Zhou Manman's body rots on the sixth day when he is nailed to the coffin, and his soul is scattered. Immediately afterwards, Guo Huaiyi appeared.

What will be the connection between the two?

Huang Yan'er ripped off the mask on his face, and he looked at the hall with a puzzled look on his face.

I hurriedly retreated to the side of Guo's blind man's bed, hid under the bed, Huang Yan'er turned on the light in the hall, and then rummaged around, the light under the bed was very dim, even if he looked at the bottom of the bed, he might not be able to see me, I reached out and held the wooden box to carry it in, so as not to take the little Zhou Tian's compass in the wooden box by Huang Yan'er.

But when I moved it, I found that the wooden box was actually fixed to the board, and behind the wooden box, there was a faint metal object protruding, which looked like some kind of bracket.

Guo Blind followed Lao Xiucai to learn a lot of the Five Elements Bagua in the Taoist Temple, and it is inevitable that he will not design some organs to harm people. I then remembered what Huzi told me, he said that after the last incident, Guo Blind would definitely take precautions, but fortunately I didn't open the wooden box.

Huang Yan'er quickly found the wooden box under the bed, the bottom of the bed was dark, he didn't find me, when he picked up the wooden box, he also found that the wooden box was fixed on the board, his face showed a trace of curiosity, and he also found the copper wire on the keyhole of the wooden box after a closer look.

Huang Yan'er carefully unscrewed the copper wire, and the moment he opened the wooden box, a long steel blade was ejected, Huang Yan'er's eyes were about to crack and dodge backwards, and the steel blade narrowly and dangerously penetrated through his left arm and nailed to the wall behind him, which was terrifyingly powerful.

Huang Yan'er covered her bleeding arm, took out a lighter in annoyance, set fire to a pile of clothes in the hall, and left the hall without saying a word.

After Huang Yan'er left Guo's blind house, I hurriedly crawled out from under the bed to put out the fire, but fortunately, the fire was not big and was quickly extinguished by me.

Xiao Zhoutian's compass was still in the wooden box at this time, with a layer of foam on it, Huang Yan'er thought that the wooden box was a trap designed by Guo Blind, but I didn't expect that there was something inside, I got up and left with the little Zhoutian compass.

But when I walked into the yard, I vaguely felt that someone was watching me behind me, and this little Zhou Tian compass seemed to have some kind of strange connection with me, and when I touched it, I would sense something that I couldn't normally feel. But that plausible feeling was fleeting, and I suddenly remembered something, and returned to the hall of Guo's blind man's house.

There is only one bed in the hall of Guo's blind man's house, and there is only one quilt on the bed.

There is no bed in the side room of Guo Huaiyi's house, with a clean city person like Guo Huaiyi, would he live in the same bed with a strange old man who is blind? What's more, it's the same bed?

I can't guess the hidden truth of this for the time being, but Xiao Zhoutian's compass is on me, and I want to see what Guo Blind and Guo Huaiyi have done in the past two days.

A mobile phone rang, and it was a call from Huzi.

"It's almost twelve o'clock, the old lady will be buried immediately, why haven't you come back yet?" Huzi's voice was a little anxious.

"I'll be right back, wait for me." After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone, hid the little Zhou Tian compass closely, and crawled out of Guo's blind house.

In the funeral customs of Futuling, when the elderly elders are happy to mourn, the children and grandchildren should throw the mourning sticks in their hands on the coffin before the coffin is filled, and the mourners who do not have the mourning sticks should also walk around the coffin to express their thoughts about the elders and cherishing others.

There are more than 1,000 people in Mingyue Village, young and old, and it will take a lot of time for this funeral ceremony to come down, but when I arrived, there were only a few dozen people left waiting.

I followed the funeral procession to the end, and at this time, Guo Blind was standing in front of the old lady's coffin, watching everyone walk by with a solemn expression, and a very bright fluorescent lamp was propped up behind him. Under the dazzling light, I walked around the old lady's coffin, the spring water in the grave pit had been scooped dry, and the golden carp in it was nowhere to be found.

Guo Huaiyi stood on a pile of loess, and when I passed by him, he chuckled at the corner of his mouth and whispered: "Why is Brother Yang sweating so much in the middle of the night?" ”

"In the wilderness, which girl did you like to take to exercise?" I whispered back.

"Brother, it's so Yaxing." Guo Huaiyi said sarcastically.

"Low-key."

I walked towards the crowd with a blank face, not wanting to talk to Guo Huaiyi at all.

"How's it going, did you get it?" Huzi asked softly.

I nodded and said, "I'll talk about it later." ”

Suddenly, someone pointed not far away and shouted, "It's that big black cat!" ”

I saw a broken tombstone in the tomb group, the big black cat squatted on it and looked at the crowd, someone used a flashlight to shine over, illuminating its eyes green and terrifying, the big black cat was not nervous when he saw that he was discovered, and meowed and jumped into the wild grass and disappeared.

After the old lady's coffin was put on the ground, the whole village stepped on the grave around the old lady's grave in turn, and it was already more than two o'clock in the morning when the ceremony was over.

When I went back, I asked my mother to go home first, and then I ran to the old lady's house with Huzi.

I told Huzi about seeing Huang Yan'er in Guo Blind tonight, and Huzi listened to it and said: "In this way, Zhou Manman's ghost may still be alive, Guo Huaiyi's sudden appearance should have something to do with Zhou Manman, since Guo Blind didn't destroy Zhou Manman's soul, then she should be fine for the time being, let's go and find out the cause of the old lady's death first." ”

After arriving at the old lady's house, the spirit bed in the middle of his house has not been thrown away, the old lady's portrait is hung above the table of the eight immortals, the photo frame is draped with a black cloth, Huzi was frightened with goosebumps, dare not go in, I stood next to the spirit bed and dialed the little Zhou Tian compass in my hand, the compass pointer turned, making a clicking sound.

The runes at the bottom of the mysterious jade compass lit up, and the light and shadow around the hands and scales changed the moment they coincided, and the light in the room became dim.

In front of Huzi and me, an old man was sitting with his back to us turning through the yellowed pages, his gray braids dragged all the way to the back of the chair, and the kerosene lamp on the table swayed.

"You can really see the past."

Huzi looked at the light and shadow around him in great amazement, he walked to the old lady's side, pointed his finger at the dazzling kerosene lamp wick, the light and shadow changed, and I dialed the needle of the compass to the closest point to the origin of the pointer. The closer you are to the origin, the closest point in time that can be restored to the compass's position.

The figure gradually became clear, the old lady on this time scale was lying on the spiritual bed at this time, the phantom of me and Huzi came from the crowd, Wang Laohan stood in front of the door of the hall and shouted: "The old lady returns to heaven, dies at the end of her life, and is happy to be 100 years old!" ”

Huzi said: "The time point is too close, and then adjust it forward." ”

I flicked the compass needle back slightly, and the room instantly became dark and unclear, and Huzi and I held our breath and did not speak, and after a while, the phantom of the old lady entered the hall, and saw that his clothes were the scene of returning home that night after explaining the aftermath.

The old lady went to the wardrobe to change into a shroud, and he carried a bench and sat in front of the door, looking peaceful.

After a while, the old lady raised his head and said, "I know you will come tonight, I don't need you to do it, I'll come by myself." ”

"Who will the old lady talk to?" Huzi looked out the door and asked with a puzzled expression.

I shook my head and took a few steps out the door with my compass, but I couldn't see who it was.

The old lady in the hall walked to his library and said while pulling out an old book: "I remember that you liked these books the most back then, when you were still very young, and suddenly one day you hurriedly came to ask me to help you hide this Taoist book, and said that it will be returned to you later, I don't know if it is too late now." ”

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the broken Taoist book in her hand suddenly caught fire and burned to ashes in an instant.

This scene frightened me and Huzi, and the old lady was obviously frightened, as if he had received some order, he looked at the door and said: "You blame me for everything back then, don't harm others, they are all innocent." ”

The old lady said and found a hemp rope from behind the door, threw the rope onto the beam of the room, stepped on the bench, and Huzi shouted anxiously: "Old lady, slow down, Xiaohao, go out and see who the murderer is?" ”

I took a few more steps into the courtyard, and the range of light and shadow could already be seen dozens of meters away, and everything in the courtyard was unobstructed, but I still didn't find anyone.

And the sound of the bench falling to the ground came from the hall, and the old lady hung on the beam, and after a few struggles, she died.

"How can you not see people?" Huzi was as confused as I was.

Huzi's gaze suddenly looked at the shadow next to me, the shadow did not belong to me, but extended from the roof, we all looked up at the roof, and there was an expressionless person standing on the roof.

It's Li Fugui.
