Chapter 186: Ghost Play
Ghost show?
Jiang Xian shook his head, Lao Huang took a deep breath, a look of fear swelled on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Ghost play, it is said that ghosts are singing, and in the middle of the night, they build a stage and perform and sing by themselves. And the people who enter their singing venues are either treated by them as spectators or as servants, inviting them to perform repertoire. ”
"But how can this play be so good-looking?" A trace of throbbing flashed in Lao Huang's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "These people will lose themselves, become confused, and become crazy and crazy. Many people will die of madness even if they escape the range."
Black clouds cover the moon, hell flowers, ghost shows......
Jiang Xian absorbed the entire list of information in his mind, and glanced in the direction of the houseboat: "Ghost show...... In a houseboat? ”
"Of course." Lao Huang nodded: "If you go during the day, you won't encounter it, but ...... during the day."
The daytime houseboat didn't find anything of value.
Jiang Xian understood the meaning of Lao Huang's words, and said, "Old man, you should have also seen ghost shows, right?" ”
"Me?" Lao Huang paused, took a few puffs of cigarettes, and his eyes became deeper: "If you walk a lot at night, you will always meet ghosts...... How many people have visited the houseboat many times in Hongmen who have never seen that ghost show? ”
"It's just that some people survived, some died, and others went crazy. So much for. ”
Lao Huang's face looked calm, but Jiang Xian still felt a trace of trembling from his words.
Taking a puff of cigarette, Lao Huang said slowly: "I was young back then, but I filled in the red slip early, and I entered the circle early to make some contributions, and I was already a red stick at that time." ”
Jiang Xian glanced at the other party in amazement, he was already a red stick in law enforcement back then, and Old Man Huang's status was really not low.
"I also led a team in a houseboat, but I didn't get anything, but I didn't encounter danger." Lao Huang smiled self-deprecatingly: "When I know the rumors of ghost tricks inside, ghosts, it's just a trick on the rivers and lakes." Although I didn't say it, in my heart I didn't look down on the previous leaders. ”
The muscles on his face began to tremble, and he restrained his smile and said solemnly, "Until that day...... Ten years ago, it was my turn to watch the Dragon Boat Festival, and when the time was set, I began to enter the houseboat with a team of twelve brothers. ”
"I drove the way, two people broke off, and the other ten people observed the left and right. In this way, I could see the situation around me clearly, and I took care of each other, and at first it was no different from a normal day, but after a while, I suddenly heard a voice in my ear. ”
Lao Huang paused for a moment, looked at Jiang Xian and said: "It was a very subtle sound, but it was very sharp, some like singing, faintly, as if it sounded in my head, looking up, there was obviously no one around in the dark night, so I couldn't ignore it!" ”
"At that time, I was wary and told them to cheer up. But after walking for three to five minutes, someone suddenly called out to me from behind. Lao Huang gasped, as if he had returned to that terrible night, clenched the cigarette pouch and pot in his hand, and said hoarsely: "But I have never heard that voice!" ”
"It was a woman's voice, sharp and thin! But the sound is very small, like ...... Someone is talking behind my ear! ”
Lao Huang's voice couldn't help but rise, and his whole body made an instinctive and vigilant look: "I turned around and suddenly found ...... The two people who broke off before are all gone! ”
Jiang Xian's eyes suddenly froze, Lao Huang's description just now, their exploration method is not clever, but it is safe and simple, and they can almost take care of each other, but in this case, there is a problem.
Zila...... In the dead silence, Lao Huang lit the cigarette pouch pot, took a hard puff, and spit out the hazy smoke: "There is no sound, no traces of fighting, as if there have never been two of them." ”
Jiang Xian's brows furrowed, and he glanced at the houseboat in the darkness outside the window, as if it was a huge mouth, devouring everything.
Lao Huang continued: "At that time, I immediately felt the pressure, and the rest of the people were also a little flustered, after all, two people disappeared silently...... But no one broke the rules of Hongmen, no one was messed up, they just looked at me in unison. ”
"I told them to keep going. The mission is not done yet. Everyone rearranged the formation and continued to move forward, and this time, the number of people after the break became three. ”
"As we moved forward, the voice grew louder and louder, but it wasn't clear, and I couldn't make out what the voice was saying."
"It wasn't until I walked through a room that I suddenly felt wrong." Lao Huang bit his lip and said hoarsely: "Although the houseboat is big, it is only compared to the house, it is not a garden." And we've been walking for so long, and we haven't even seen the exit! ”
Jiang Xian's expression flashed and said, "Ghost hitting the wall? ”
Lao Huang swallowed his saliva fiercely: "Yes, I was also so suspicious at the time. So I went back and prepared for them to make a mark, but ......"
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes tremblingly: "Three! ”
"There are only three people left behind me!"
Jiang Xian's pupils contracted suddenly: "There are only three left?" Didn't anyone remind you? Tell you? ”
Lao Huang nodded at Jiang Xian solemnly, and he said with great certainty: "Yes, there are only three left, and the remaining three, when I turned around and asked them where the rest were, I realized that there were only four of us left." ”
Jiang Xian secretly took a breath, this is not just making people disappear, but also making the people around him ignore the change in the number of people! It affects people's thinking and thinking!
"And ......" Lao Huang took a puff of cigarette, and his eyes became deep: "After I asked, I suddenly felt that someone was blowing cold air on my neck." ”
"But behind him, there is no one!"
Jiang Xian looked at Lao Huang silently, and Lao Huang showed a wry smile on his face: "I didn't lie to you, the people who took over the mountains and seas were not scared off by this little thing, there was really no one behind me at that time." But...... Behind my ears, it's wet! ”
"Something, licked on my ear!!"
"At that time, I was really scared, and my hands trembled for a moment, can you understand?"
Jiang Xian nodded, such a thing happened to him, how many people would not be afraid?
The strongest fear of human beings is the fear of facing the unknown.
Lao Huang breathed a sigh of relief: "At this time, I didn't think about the task anymore, go out, get out of here, the sooner the better!" ”
"We'd be back to back, we could see each other, and we moved towards the door together."
"But within a minute, the man across from me suddenly stared at us in horror, and then ran up and rushed out of a door."
This stunned me, and the guy who was back to back with him also turned around, and then ...... With the same frightened expression, he rushed to the side and ran out. Before he ran, he shouted at us: 'Run'. ”
I was shocked, and before I could turn back, I heard a strange scream behind me! The people who were back to back with me rushed out all at once! ”
Jiang Xian frowned slightly, and Lao Huang continued: "I was shocked in my heart, and when I turned around, I didn't see the figure that rushed out, and the gate that was supposed to be in front of me disappeared. ”
"Gone?"
"Yes, the gate we were going to walk through at the beginning is gone." Lao Huang nodded: "I looked at that wall, and stepped forward with courage, whether it was pushing or pulling, the wall did not move at all." ”
"That's when ...... The bell rang. ”
"The bells?" Jiang Xian's expression moved slightly: "Is it the black clouds that you said before that the moon is occupied?" ”
"Yes, it's the bell when the clouds cover the moon." Lao Huang came to the window, looked at the sky, and his cloudy eyes revealed the color of memory: "When the bell rang, the sound that has been in my ears since I entered the houseboat has been raised to a higher level. ”
"It's like going from an erhu to beating gongs and drums and playing suona."
"When I heard this, my cold hairs suddenly stood on end." Lao Huang turned around, the shadow was very long under the light, and his beard that blocked the light made this withered yellow face full of ravines a little more gloomy: "It's like, ...... behind him"
"There's a pair of eyes, staring at me."
"Keep an eye on me!"
His voice was a little dry: "And ...... I saw ghosts! ”
"See...... Ghost Stage! ”
"It was a red stage with white flags hanging around it, and the pillars on both sides were lit with miserable green candles, and there were white lanterns floating around it......"
"The stage was full of torture instruments, tiger heads, ropes, bronze pillars, and swords...... Playing as a ghost...... It's all paper people, and those miserable paper people are staring at me! ”
Lao Huang's hands trembled slightly: "At that time, I only realized that the sounds we heard from the houseboat were coming from the mouths of these ghosts!" So no matter how carefully I listened before, I couldn't understand what was being said. ”
"But in the end, I understood what they said......"
Lao Huang sat back on the chair, looked at Jiang Xian and said, "That sentence is 'you come along'!" ”
When ——!
The bell rang outside the window, Lao Huang's hand couldn't help shaking, he took a deep breath, suppressed the palpitation in his heart, and looked at Jiang Xian: "At that time, my scalp was numb, and my hands and feet were a little sore, but I still had the courage to take a step forward." ”
"I want to see what this ghost that tosses me and makes my team disappear and run away!"
"But...... I failed. ”
A trace of annoyance appeared in Lao Huang's eyes, and then he slowly pulled open his shirt.
Jiang Xian's pupils contracted suddenly, and at the place where he pulled open his shirt, a fist-sized, obviously sunken scar was extremely eye-catching, making his body look uncoordinated. He looked at Lao Huang's face: "This injury, is it ......?"
"Yes." Lao Huang nodded, his voice a little hoarse: "I took a step forward, but before I came to the stage, suddenly a ghost flashed, and I felt a sharp pain." ”
A bitter smile appeared on Lao Huang's mouth: "At that time, I understood that if I really got close to the stage, I would die soon, so it was meaningless." ”
"And I can't just die, I'm going to get the news out!"
