"Xiaocui, Da'er, you have to be good over there!"

The gray-haired middle-aged man took out the lime from the baggage, sprinkled it into a circle, then took out a pile of yellow paper and burned it, and while burning, he said:

"It's because I don't have the ability, let your mother and mother suffer for half a lifetime, today Qingming, I remember, you buy more food and drink below, don't ..... Bitter. ”

The yellow paper burned in the lime circle, and the thick smoke and ash floated upwards into the sky, and the middle-aged man spread the yellow paper in his hand, and kept muttering:

"Don't worry down there, I'll take the three babies and live well. I heard that Dajin is building some high platforms and the like, I have the craft, I will definitely not be hungry if I go, you two mothers, and you will bless us with peace and security along the way. ”

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, blowing the fire even stronger.

The middle-aged man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, thought that he was his wife and children, heard his prayer, received incense, and hurriedly folded his hands and made a gesture.

Unbeknownst to him, he suddenly felt a tap on the shoulder, which frightened him, and he hurriedly opened his eyes, and looked back, only to see a young man wearing a mask made of wood, holding a few dry cakes in his hand:

"Give you something to eat, give me a few pieces of yellow paper, I also want to pay tribute to my family."

The middle-aged man was stunned, looked at the little yellow paper in his hand, and remembered his son who ate Guanyin soil and couldn't eat, gritted his teeth, and divided half of the yellow paper: "It can only be so much." ”

Lu Xuan nodded, took the yellow paper in the other party's hand, what he ate at the moment is not very important to him, after all, when he left Suicheng, he collected a lot of materials, and there were some jewelry in the baggage, and when there were people, he could exchange them for some food.

Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't have a circle of lime, he was about to burn the yellow paper, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but remind: "Brother, you can't burn it like this." ”

"Huh?" Lu Xuan turned his head with a puzzled face.

"Gotta lime." The middle-aged man who took a few thick dry cakes from the other party happily handed over the lime in his hand: "Brother, it should be the first time..... This directly burned yellow paper is equivalent to an ownerless thing, which is easy to attract the snatching of lonely souls and wild ghosts, and their relatives may not be able to get it, so they have to circle a layer of lime, so that other lonely souls and wild ghosts cannot enter. ”

"Won't you keep out the souls of your loved ones?"

"We are relatives, and the ones burned by our relatives can still be stopped." The middle-aged man explained.

Lu Xuan nodded, thinking that this might be a custom of a poor country, but after thinking about it, the custom that can be handed down in this terrifying world may not be without some truth, so he sprinkled a circle with lime like a middle-aged man, and burned yellow paper in the circle.

The flames quickly engulfed the yellow paper, Lu Xuan didn't have any words, but the eyes reflected by the firelight faintly flashed with tears.

Yellow paper he burned for Jiang Nannan.

He knew that in that suffocating and desperate world, she who had just inherited the position of Chishui River God, there was not much possibility that she would be able to survive at all.

It was hard for him to forget the bright smile of that little girl.

It's also hard to forget that when she lost her mind, she carefully taught herself to weave the appearance of grasshoppers.

He really wanted to save Jiang Nannan.

However, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, and what Lu Xuan didn't expect the most was that the 'Seven Sufferings of Ordinary Husbands', who thought it was a weapon to kill the enemy, was essentially summoning another monster with its own thinking.

"Big brother, stop crying! I'll make you fish tomorrow! ”

"You're so stupid, Jiang Jianjian, look at the grasshoppers I made, they can jump."

"Big brother, they want me to be the goddess of Chishui, but I don't know, should I do it."

"Big brother, help me!"

The picture of memories was finally frozen on the day of the god ceremony, Jiang Nannan was crying, and she was asking him for help like crazy.

Unfortunately, he was not able to lend a hand.

"Hello." Lu Xuan closed his eyes slightly, and a line of crystal tears slid down his face.

When he felt that there was a cold wind blowing around him and the temperature in front of him dropped a lot, he opened his eyes, the deceased was gone, and he had no chance to keep it, so he had to burn the yellow paper in his hand.

But just as he threw the remaining yellow paper in his hand into the lime circle, he suddenly found that the thick circle of lime he sprinkled had been blown away by the wind at some point, leaving only a faint white trace.

After fusing the elixir, Lu Xuan's physical fitness was extremely strong, and he could faintly hear the sound of Xi Suo Suo coming from not far away, a bit like a plastic film being patted together, but it was even thicker.

Just when he was on guard in his heart, the warning of the yang eye also followed-

"The earth is water, and the wind in the mountains is a little murderer."

The strange voice was getting closer and closer, and Lu Xuan's hand had quietly pressed on the hilt of the sword behind him.

It was only a moment before Lu Xuan heard it more clearly, as if a boulder had been shattered, accompanied by a strange laugh similar to a baby's scream.

"Bang!"

Lu Xuan directly pulled out the long sword on his back, and the middle-aged man on the side was startled when he saw this, looked at the dry cake in his hand in a panic, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Little brother, what are you doing?" ”

Lu Xuan glanced at him and took a deep breath: "Didn't you hear any strange sounds?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, it was quiet in the dead of night, let alone the voice of people, and even the crows could not be heard.

"Take your son and get out of here! The sooner the better! ”

Lu Xuan's expression was indifferent, and he didn't care what the middle-aged man's reaction was, he took two steps in three steps and walked towards the opposite place of the temple.

He knows very well that his physique is a great tonic in the eyes of evil spirits.

If the other party came at him, Lu Xuan was not willing to drag down the suffering people in the temple, and the place where the battle could be as far away from them as possible.

In the night, Lu Xuan rushed towards the deep mountains, under the bright moonlight, the branches in the mountains and forests fell off their leaves at some point, and the bare branches, like the limbs of the devil, swayed and waved in mid-air, giving people a sense of gloom as if there was a monster staring, and the strange sound was getting closer and closer, as if it had come behind Lu Xuan.

But he could sense that there was nothing behind him, no people, no monsters!

Where exactly is it!

The long run made Lu Xuan's breathing a little shorter.

He stopped abruptly, looked around, and the wind rose violently, crushing the branches of the trees even lower, as if they were the fingers of a demon trying to touch them.

"Pretending to be a ghost, if you have the ability to get out of here!"

Under the strong wind, the baby-like laughter became more and more unbridled, as if it came from all directions, and it seemed to be hiding in the darkness beside him.
