When night fell, a thick fog covered the land, and after a few whimpering dogs, there was no sound.

I heard the old man say that if a person has a knot in his heart after death, and he can't swallow a breath in his throat, his descendants will be murderous.

Qi is resentment, and corpses are zombies.

The courtyard was full of white lanterns, and Li Niu's crying voice came intermittently from the house.

Cuckoo~

Cuckoo~

From time to time, the cuckoo's voice comes into the house.

Li Niu knelt on the lime floor, with only two incense candles next to the unknown statue on the mahogany table.

The dim light stretched Li Niu's figure onto the wooden bed in the inner room.

The shadow was like a demon that stooped down to look down on the people of the earth.

"O mountain, great mountain...... How can you be so ruthless, abandon our orphans and widows, and you just go......"

"Mother's ......"

"Mother's ......"

Li Niushi wiped his tears with the corner of his torn linen clothes, and his eyes were red, swollen and sunken.

I don't know when a child stood outside the door, holding the curtain of the door, looking straight into the house.

"Qi Lin, Qi Lin, are you back?!, I went to Mr.'s house to look for you, but you and Mr. are not there, you dead kid don't know how anxious your mother is!"

Li Niushi stood up, as if he had been kneeling for too long, and stumbled and fell to the ground.

The slap that was about to be slapped down also hit the door panel heavily.

The little boy outside the door had no expression on his face.

"Mother, don't be sad, my father is gone, and I, aren't I coming back?"

The boy's still childish voice sounded, and Li Niushi couldn't hold back any longer, kneeling on the ground and putting his hands on the boy's shoulders and crying.

Qi Lin...... Qi Lin, why are you so cold? Are you sick? You didn't sleep well, did you?"

The woman looked up and saw that the little boy was also looking down at herself.

There seemed to be a layer of dark green eyeshadow around the eye sockets, and Li Niu couldn't recognize his child for the first time.

......

"Xiaolin, are you asleep? Get closer to your mother. ”

In the heavy futon, Li Niushi turned to the side and whispered to Niu Qilin, who was facing away from him.

"I didn't ...... Mother's mother went to bed early, Qi Lin was so tired......"

Li Niushi was silent for a short time, with her hands on her chest, she had been restless tonight.

"Xiaolin, if you have something, tell your mother, don't hide it in your heart. You're weird, or don't go to the private school, that gentleman doesn't look like a good person, but your father has to ......"

Li Niu's family will habitually complain about Niu Dashan no matter what, and now it has become a habit, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he found that the person who had been noisy with him for most of his life was no longer there.

"Mother, I'm so cold. ”

A feeble voice came from the darkness.

Li Niu's heart ached, and he freed his hand in the dark and groped for Niu Qilin's back.

Her body temperature was like ice, and she panicked.

I wanted to touch Niu Qilin's head upwards, but it turned out that it was his neck.

"Xiaolin, Xiaolin, why is your neck so long......"

Li Niu's heart was beating like a drum, because he was restless tonight, so the incense candle next to the statue offered at home had not been extinguished.

She looked up at the statue on the kang, cold and piercing her back.

This unknown statue was taken from the private school gentleman, and he said that he was a small god in the foreign land, and he was very spiritual.

At first, Li Niu's always wanted to throw it away because it was not like it.

But Niu Dashan insisted on refusing, and after a few days at home, things went smoothly.

Li Niu's is not rejecting.

But in the dark, Li Niu's expression, who looked up at the statue upside down, became more and more frightened.

She knew why the statues were not like them.

Because only when you look upside down is its face!

It wasn't a god at all, it was a smiling little ghost!

"Mother...... Father, he's back......"

Niu Qilin pointed out the door in a daze.

Li Niu couldn't shout anymore, turned his head to look out of the door curtain, and the dim candlelight reflected a tall figure.

"The Great Mountain...... Why are you so hard, you can't bear it...... I miss you too......

You two are so ruthless......"

In Xianglin Village, only the ancestral hall is brightly lit, like the only bonfire in the dark, lonely and conspicuous.

In the 106th year of Chen Guo, the first generation of village chiefs and their relatives came here to escape the war and established Xianglin Village.

In the third year of the Great Dawn calendar, the old village chief died, and a strange came.

In the fifth year of the Daxi calendar, the new village chief died unexpectedly, and Fu Linfu was elected.

......

In June last year, the single Song Tie disappeared, and his body was not found, and the first discoverer, Fu Linfu.

In August last year, someone found clothes downstream and searched upstream, and found bloody hairs on the riverbank.

The blood coagulates, guessing the time of the killing, sunset or night.

"After that, not only Xianglin Village, but also several small villages in the vicinity sometimes have people missing. ”

These are all messages that Tian Qing asked from the village.

Bai Thirteen wore a wide cloak, in order to prevent others from seeing the anomaly of his shadow.

This ghost bride can still give some face, and she will obediently be a shadow in front of people.

Only when he is alone with Bai Thirteen or there are not many people, he will be wrapped around his shoulders and let the shadow disappear.

"What about the people who kept vigil last night? Didn't they ask them to check on people by name before they went to bed?

Bai Thirteen said in a deep voice.

"It's a check, and the people around me haven't noticed anything abnormal. Childe, you specially explained, everyone is also a brother who knows each other, and someone will definitely notice if someone doesn't see it.

Childe, I suspect that someone will go missing after everyone is asleep. ”

"Go and call the night watchman. ”

Bai Thirteen was faintly unhappy.

Soon the two black-clothed men were brought over, and they were originally full of anger, but after seeing Bai Thirteen, they were obedient like yellow dogs with drooping ears.

No majesty.

"The ancestral hall is not big, but it is not small. Someone has disappeared in the area of your vigil, so you have nothing to explain?"

"Childe...... Childe, listen to me, we have indeed been keeping vigil and dare not slack off. ”

"Don't you dare to slack off and lose a big living person from the bottom of your eyes? Let me ask you two, did you really keep an eye on the vigil last night?!"

Bai Thirteen's eyes were overlooked, and the two of them were so frightened that they hurriedly came out.

"Childe, don't get angry, I didn't know how to be sleepy last night! But please Childe must believe us, there is an incense to remember the time, and it is used for changing shifts.

When we woke up, the incense didn't burn much at all, and it was impossible to be ashamed in such a short time!"

Bang bang!

Bai Shisan flew up with two feet, kicked the two directly into the courtyard, and fell in front of the closed main hall of the ancestral hall.

"Two hours in shifts, the adult's arm-thick incense didn't burn much?

Are you two fools to me?, or do you two take it as a fine incense?!"

Bang Bang –

A piece of brick fell to the ground and shattered.

"Who?!" Bai Thirteen turned his head to look at the dark shadow in the courtyard.

"Lord Bai, it's me. ”

A sack was thrown at Bai Thirteen's feet, and the gang with torches on both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where have you been, little master?"

Bai Shisan looked at Jiang Liu'er, who was full of exhaustion, and quickly stepped forward to help.

"It's okay, there were some changes when I was chasing the evil spirit. ”

Jiang Liu'er shook her head, her eyes focused on Bai Thirteen's shadow, and shrank slightly.

"Have you ever heard of a word from the benefactor?"

"What?"

Jiang Liu'er settled down and lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of hearing something.

"The most evil is more than half of the big and small ghosts, and the most fierce is the red-clothed ghosts?"

"I used to chase half-sized ghosts, they were good and evil before they died, they liked to have fun, they were moody, and they could easily become evil spirits after death. ”

"As for the red-clothed ghost, it is the worst of the ghosts. Red is evil, and ghosts are even more evil. Therefore, there are people who die in red clothes, and they are always the most violent.

By the way, my brother and sister are so good-looking, and the donor is so blessed. ”

Jiang Liu'er said sadly.

Bai 13: "I'm so ......"

"Little master, can you see it?"

Bai Shisan pulled Jiang Liu'er aside, and there were many questions.

"The Buddha said to see with your heart, I can't see directly, but I can feel it. For example, if I close my eyes, I will vaguely know that the white donor is standing in front of me.

Martial arts cultivation to a certain level, and even close your eyes to feel the heartbeat and breath of the person in front of you, while the qi of men and women is different, and the qi of ghosts and people is different.

I once practiced a Buddhist mantra called the Twelve Bodhichitta, and I could see the one in the shadow of the donor, because the shadow of the donor was actually red and slim in my eyes. ”

Jiang Liuer patiently explained.

"That's right, my shadow was eaten by a female ghost in red. Anyway, this female ghost master should be more familiar than me. Did you go to the bridge outside the village yesterday?"

"No, since Lord Bai left in a rage, I chased those ghosts to an ancient temple on the top of a mountain, and found a lot of decapitated stone statues from inside, and the sack that I threw at you just now is the corpse hidden in the stone statue.

After a long time, it has turned into dry bones, and the latest corpse has been chewed off half of its body, and the costume should be your gang's ......"

Jiang Liu'er glanced at Bai Shisan, who had an unpleasant face, and didn't continue, but the implication was obvious.

"Thank you for the clues, but I still want to ask a digression, do you know the Evil Mansion? And the little master, I was rescued on the bridge by a man who claimed to be your brother. ”

Jiang Liu'er's pupils shrank, and Bai Shisan was keenly aware that a trace of murderous aura flashed in his eyes when he heard the word "younger brother".

"Whether it is the martial arts or the temples in this world, in fact, their rights and wrongs are from their own point of view. The subject of the artifact has been debated endlessly.

The decency feared that the Demon Cult would sacrifice on a large scale, and the imperial court feared disrupting the order. But if decency is in danger, they don't mind using their own weapons of suppression to repel the enemy.

The blood of the sacrifice may be an enemy, or it may be an inconspicuous civilian who does not know where to go. This is especially true in temples, where they explicitly prohibit crooked ways from snatching artifacts, but they themselves are keen to collect artifacts.

Because holding the artifact in your hand is equivalent to stabilizing the dynasty.

Therefore, it is better to prohibit the snatching of the underworld weapon, which is more likely to prohibit people and forces outside the court from snatching it.

Everyone knows what they know, but those big forces and big sects are not vegetarians, and if they are really robbed, the court will generally not ask for it.

The lord of the Mansion is a prince, and the Mansion is also a collection of famous human and ghost forces in the Northland, who manipulate ghosts to sacrifice for themselves.

If you really make a big mistake, you need to explain it to the world. Then you only need to take the death-free token of your own prince, and then abandon the ghost chess pieces, and you can get out of the way. ”

Jiang Liu'er flashed her gaze, obviously more unspeakable about his brother's affairs than the secrets that these civilians could not know.

"To be honest, I don't know why someone like my brother would save you. ”

"Maybe it's because you know Master Jiang and me?"

Bai Thirteen said tentatively, feeling that the relationship between these two brothers was like fire and water.

"He ......," Jiang Liu'er suddenly thought of what the evil ghost said.

Not only does his world have his own younger brother, but the person who infiltrates is Bai Thirteen.

That's why the evil ghost Jiang Liu'er will go, maybe it's also because the current Jiang Liu'er values Bai Thirteen.

That evil ghost Jiang Liu'er will come to the rescue, not because of anything else, or because Bai Shisan is dead, and his brother should be unhappy.

As a younger brother, he probably doesn't want his brother to be unhappy.
