On the night of mid-July, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Jiange County is located in the southwest of Daqi, the terrain is mountainous, the county seat is far away, and the travelers and merchants are inconvenient, so there will always be some small villages for people to transit and rest on the way.

It is said that it is a small village, but it is nothing more than a fence erected by bamboo and wood, and pedestrians need to set up tents by themselves.

These stockades are also unmanaged, but they just give pedestrians and caravans a place to warm up at night.

Fortunately, it is a hot day, and there is no need to block the wind, so more than ten people sit on the ground and gather together.

A fat man in a brocade robe is telling a story.

"You are all people who have traveled from south to north, and you have heard a lot of stories about evil ghosts, but have you ever heard the stories of ghosts?"

This fat man seems to be rich, and the people in the village call him Shopkeeper Li, and I heard that he is a wealthy merchant in Jiange County.

"Hey, there are people in this world who manage ghosts?"

The answer was a young man in shorts and shorts who looked a little strong.

The young man's hair was haphazardly coiled, and he looked like a coolie.

But Shopkeeper Li went south and north, how could he not have any eyes.

Looking at the firelight in the night, the complexion of this young man was in stark contrast to the handlebar-style coolies on the side, but he looked like a young master from some background.

And this young man, at first glance, is particular about people, there is no coolie on the left and right sides, and he is obviously afraid of dirty.

Shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up and he asked.

"It's all running on the road, don't shout anything about the old man or not, what do you call this brother?"

The young man grinned, showed eight teeth, and smiled slightly.

"Don't you dare to be the master's brother, the boy's surname is Kong Ming'an, the master will tell the story quickly, we are curious."

This young man's words are not true, his name is Kong Han'an, not Kong An.

But who called him very deceptive with thick eyebrows and big eyes, after all, he deceived the shopkeeper Li who went south and north.

Moreover, Shopkeeper Li actually misunderstood, it was not Kong Han'an avoiding the coolies, it was the black and white impermanence beside him that did not appear, even in the summer, it was as cold as an ice cave, and the coolies were avoiding him.

This is Kong Han'an and his entourage setting off to find the lost souls of Yang Jian and others, and they came here by chance.

With Kong Hanan taking the lead, a group of handlebar-type coolies coaxed and shouted to listen, and the shopkeeper Li had enough, cleared his throat, and spoke.

"This has nothing to do with the new Huangquan Division established by the imperial court, it is said that a new yamen has been set up in the underworld to manage ghosts."

"Actually, this is not something I encountered, I heard about it a while ago."

……

Shopkeeper Li's skills in telling ghost stories are really lacking, and he obviously tells ghost stories, but what he says is not very scary.

There's a lot of mixed elements to the story.

There are the apparitions of Gu Chenghuang in Heluo Town, the strange things of Mr. Yimoku in Pingyang Town, and the legend of the black and white impermanence of the Yin soldiers crossing the border.

Kong Han'an, who listened to this story, was not interested, how could Shopkeeper Li know as much as he did, he just wanted to hear what the people thought of Yin Si.

But a group of laborers can listen to it energetically, and what Shopkeeper Li said is fresh.

The handlebar coolies have worked hard all day, and most of the night is trying to get a fresh and exciting experience.

A gust of wind rose, with a coolness, and even the storyteller Li couldn't help shaking.

Kong Hanan scolded in the "walkie-talkie" supernatural power.

"Li San, don't make trouble."

"Why, why don't you have me!"

Li San expressed his dissatisfaction with the story of Shopkeeper Li.

Bai Wuchang grinned and deliberately teased him, "You mean, your reputation should be wider than ours?" ”

Li San muttered quietly, "That's not comparable to you." ”

Kong Hanan quipped: "Then do you think you can compare to Master Gu?" ”

Thinking of Gu Qiang's ungodly luck, Li San shuddered.

"But I'm better than the Five Strange Ghosts."

"They have a small world, and recently I heard that there is also a ghost king realm." ”

Li Mihai was silent......

Could it be that he has really become the weakest lieutenant of the Yin Division?

Anyway, he was the first old brother to follow him, Kong Han'an was about to make a round, but he heard Li San exclaim.

"There are ghosts!!"

Bai Wuchang heyran, "Don't change the topic, Lao Hei is urging you to cultivate quickly, with our two ghosts and immortals, how dare a ghost appear near us." ”

Li San said, "There really is, but they are not real ghosts!" ”

Not a real ghost?

Pretending to be a ghost?

Kong Hanan cheered up.

Black and white impermanence is tracked, Yang Jian's missing soul is nearby, but the specific location still needs to be investigated, which is also the reason why Kong Hanan appeared here.

He wanted to see if he could get any news.

This group of people who come and go from south to north must not be able to find out, but the guy who pretends to be a ghost is afraid that he can ask something.

In the open-air village, Shopkeeper Li is talking about it.

"So everyone, do more good deeds in the future, otherwise the soul will be hooked by black and white."

Although black and white impermanence occasionally appears in the world, they do not deliberately make a name for themselves, and now the world is only called black and white.

As he spoke, the cries of children echoed through the valley.

The voice was hoarse and heartbreaking.

The cry came from far and near, and everyone in the small village heard it.

Shopkeeper Li hurriedly stopped talking, and the experienced handlebar style immediately extinguished the fire, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

"It's a burial ghost!"

In the darkness, someone whispered a warning.

"Lie down, pretend to be asleep, and don't make a sound!"

In this world, ghosts are rampant, strange ghosts abound, and when you go out at night, you always pin your head to the waistband of your pants.

Since some people have experience, of course everyone follows.

Kong Hanan also lay down pretendically.

It's a pity that there is a handful of melon seeds in my hand.

Shopkeeper Li's chubby body squeezed to Kong Han'an's side.

"Brother Kong, you have a vacant seat here, squeeze with you, don't mind, tsk, why is it so cold around you."

Kong Hanan smiled and made a silent gesture, and the person over there was still whispering.

"This kind of ghost is a ghost unique to Zeng Bashu Kingdom."

"The rivers of Bashu are turbulent, and there is a group of boats that rely on the river water to eat, and they have lived on the river for most of their lives, so after death, they are generally buried on the boat that lives with him, drifting around with the current, or letting his family hang his boat on a cliff somewhere."

"But there are always some people who have too difficult lives, so they have the idea of these boats, find an opportunity to pick up the boat, and bury the bodies on the ship in a hurry, and the boat can be repaired and used again, so that they have a living job."

"But in this way, it is no different from digging graves, and this kind of burial ghost has appeared in this world, but they should have been buried in the river, but they appeared on land, and they had to wander around, crying and looking for their boat."

The cry is getting closer and louder.

Shopkeeper Li didn't know whether he was scared or frozen, and shivered beside Kong Han'an.

In order not to be excited by this greasy fat man, he hugged him.

Kong Hanan had no choice but to appease him.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you see that the person who spoke still dares to explain to us, it proves that the ghost is still far away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man who spoke let out a terrible scream.

"Ah~!"
