Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Demon Inn

In the alley behind me, hundreds of lonely ghosts had gathered unconsciously, and the originally empty alley seemed a little crowded under the cluster of these lonely ghosts.

These lonely ghosts behind me are of different heights and appearances. Some of these ghosts only have half of their heads left, some of them still have their eyes in their hands, which is very terrifying, and not far behind me lies a frozen ghost with ice edges hanging all over his body.

"Heavenly Doctor, help us, we're in so much pain. ”

When these lonely ghosts saw that I was not easy to mess with, they began to pretend to be pitiful again, and complained to me of their bitterness.

"I said, I have made an appointment today, don't worry, as long as I don't die, the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion will continue to be open in the future, and you happen to be near this alley, you can find me for diagnosis at any time in the future." After speaking, I pinched another "Fu Evil Seal" in my hand, my face became serious, and I continued: "However, if anyone dares to pester me again today, don't blame me for being rude, you all disperse." ”

I pinched the Taoist method, both soft and hard, so that these lonely souls and wild ghosts did not dare to be presumptuous, and under my coercion and temptation, these lonely souls and wild ghosts turned around one by one, ready to leave here.

"Wait!" I saw that the ghosts were about to disperse, and I, carrying the human skin lantern, stopped them again.

The ghosts thought I was going to treat them, and they all turned their heads to me expectantly.

"Have you seen an old man wearing a shroud with a black neck, he should still be in the alley!"

These lonely ghosts and wild ghosts who appeared in front of me were all wandering in the corners of various alleys, and they should have seen the old man of the Zhu family.

Originally, I thought that these lonely ghosts would tell me the whereabouts of the old man of the Zhu family, but when they heard my words, they showed a look of fear on their faces, and they didn't dare to speak.

Remember https://m in a second.

"What's the matter, do you see it?" I frowned when I saw the strange looks on the ghosts, and I asked as I looked at a female ghost with half of her head missing.

"No, I didn't see it, I don't know!" the female ghost saw me looking at herself, and quickly waved her hand, which was replaced by a burst of turbid gas, and dissipated into the alley.

I was even more strange, and turned my head to look at the other ghosts, and when they looked at me, they all shook their heads and waved their hands to say they didn't know, and they turned into gas, rolled up one yin wind after another, and disappeared into the night.

Is this old man of the Zhu family so terrifying, it makes these lonely souls and wild ghosts stranded in the world so scared?

I couldn't understand why they were like this, and when the ghosts were gone, I turned around with the lantern and was about to leave, when I suddenly saw a little girl with short hair in red standing under the lantern.

I originally thought that the ghost in this alley was almost gone, but suddenly I saw the little girl in front of me, and I was startled, and when I came back to my senses, I looked at the little girl and asked, "Little friend, why haven't you left yet?"

"Uncle, are you looking for an old man with a little boy riding around his neck?" asked the girl under the human skin lantern, looking innocently at me, with her head raised.

Little boys?

Could it be the one who showed up in my hospital room yesterday and asked for my life?

"Yes, do you see where they are going?" Seeing that the little girl had seen the old man of the Zhu family, I instantly became nervous.

"The moat, they went to the moat. ”

Hearing the little girl say that the old man of the Zhu family was heading towards the moat, my brows furrowed.

The moat was originally supposed to be outside the city, but with the development of the times, this moat in Xijiang City has become a scenery in the urban area, but the name of the moat has not changed.

The moat of Xijiang City is wide and deep, and I don't know how many people have drowned in the river. People who are drowned in the river will not be able to go ashore without finding a substitute ghost, once I carry a human skin lantern to find the old man of the Zhu family, I am afraid that those unclean things in the river will come out and arrest me to be a substitute ghost.

"No matter, for the sake of Zhu Xunuo, I will let it go!" Although the moat is dangerous, for the sake of Zhu Xunuo, I can't manage it so much.

After making up my mind, I ran in the direction of the moat with the lantern across the wooden box, and when I left, the little girl had not left. Instead, he walked up and down the alley with his head down, as if looking for something.

The girl looked like she was only three years old, innocent, and didn't look like she had a grudge. Why is this little girl who has no grievances also wandering in the alley, unwilling to be reincarnated?

Out of sympathy for the little girl, I plan to wait until I finish dealing with the affairs of the old man of the Zhu family, and then turn back to the little girl to see what is going on with the little girl.

The moat was not far from the alley of West Street, and I trotted all the way to the moat with a lantern. As the faint candlelight illuminates the river, the otherwise calm water begins to become an undercurrent.

Looking at the turbulent moat, my brows furrowed tightly, and in this undercurrent, I vaguely saw a few ghostly figures in the water, looking at me.

Thump!

The thing in the water noticed my turning gaze, and it grunted, and disappeared into the water.

"Help me, can anyone help me!" and just as I was stunned, a cry came from the river in the distance. I quickly turned my head to look into the river, only to see that there was suddenly a drowning person in the river.

It's a little kid!

Struggling in the water was a child of about seven or eight years old, whose face was full of panic, and he was slapping the water up and down.

When I was about to jump into the river to save people, a trace of doubt flashed in my mind, how could a child run to the river alone on this big night? Thinking of this, I remembered what my grandmother told me, in order to find a replacement for the dead ghosts, the water ghosts in the water will deliberately become drowning people and lure good people into the water.

Seeing that I was standing on the shore and did not react, the cry of the child in the water became even more rapid, and he kept making bursts of piercing screams.

The more he was like this, the more I strengthened the idea in my heart, the water ghost is the most impatient, and when he sees that others are not fooled, he will cry loudly, stirring the hearts of the people on the shore, so as to achieve the purpose of making people uneasy and accidentally falling into the water.

The cry of the water ghost seemed to have some kind of magical power, and I was instantly disturbed, and my legs actually stepped forward a little uncontrollably.
