Chapter 10: The Village of the Hundred Ghosts

I couldn't speak clearly, and I looked stupid.

My grandfather walked up to me and stretched out his hand to help me up, but I suddenly thought of my grandmother's words, and reflexively ducked back, saying don't touch me!

Well?

Taigong stretched out half of his hand and froze directly, the whole person froze there, and looked at me in astonishment for a while, "Why are you ......?"

I inhaled hard, crushed my fear and shouted, "My grandma told me everything, you...... You are also the murderer who caused my mother's death, and you were the one who sold my mother to the Zhou family in the first place! ”

In order to shout this sentence, almost all my strength was used, and I sat on the ground and kept gasping, looking at Taigong without moving.

Taigong's gray eyebrows were twitching unnaturally, and he looked away in a daze, "What did your grandmother say?" ”

I got up and shouted, "Yes, grandma won't lie to me, you are the trafficker who abducted my mother into the Zhou family back then!" ”

Taigong stopped talking, and the muscles on his old cheeks were constantly twitching, revealing a look of extreme pain and remorse.

After a long time, he swallowed his spit, and his tone was helpless and sad,

"The only wrong thing I've ever done in my life is that I shouldn't have brought your mother into the Zhou family, I am indeed ashamed of her!"

"You admit it?"

I was surprised, I thought that the Guild would quibble, but who knew that he would admit it so quickly.

"There's nothing to hide, you have to admit your mistakes, especially ...... you"

Taigong paused, revealing a more complicated and tangled expression, "You only know that I brought your mother into the Zhou family, but you don't know why I did this back then...... I also have a hard time, and I have been observing your home and you all these years. ”

"Why, why?"

I was about to collapse, the good man in my mind turned into a trafficker who abducted and sold my mother, thinking back to the various care that my grandfather took care of me when I was a child, and took the trouble to teach me to read and write, I burst into tears.

What kind of world is this, and who else can I trust?

"Zhou Xuan, listen to me."

Taigong swallowed his saliva with difficulty, his lips trembled and said, "I have no ill will towards you, you have seen it all these years, I have been trying to make up for my mistakes, I have run a school, teach you to read and read, no matter what your family asks me to do, I have never refused, all this is for you." ”

"But you hurt my mother!" I yelled and wanted to scream out my throat.

"You don't understand anything, it's not me who harms your mother at all!"

Taigong's eyes suddenly burst out with hatred, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said, "There are many things, I can't tell you, including your mother, I don't want you to know the truth, even if you know this, it's not good for you, I do this to protect you, don't you understand?" ”

Abducted and sold my mother to the Zhou family to protect me?

I was stunned and shook my head to show that I couldn't accept it.

"Alas!"

Taigong's voice was hoarse, and his face was extremely decadent, as if he was ten years old in an instant, and he even began to tremble when he walked.

"Child, I admit that I am at fault, at first I brought your mother into the Zhou family, originally to protect your mother and son through the shadow of the ancestors of the Zhou family, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect the descendants of the Zhou family to be so bad, but unfortunately the wood has become a boat, and when I learned what happened to your mother in the Zhou family, there was no way to turn back. ”

He walked towards me step by step, the corners of his eyes reddened, and his eyes were almost cracked.

"It's not a pity that the Zhou family died, I didn't meddle in these things for them, but for you, even if I fight for this life, I must protect you!"

I shook my head in dismay, although Taigong explained a lot, but I still didn't understand,

"Why, since I'm not a child of the Zhou family, whose child is it?"

Taigong refused to speak, closed his lips tightly, and sighed after a long time, "I can't say, even if you learn about your background, you still can't do anything." ”

He took my hand hard and said let's go, the magic circle in the back mountain is too evil, I can't break it alone, the only thing I can do now is to try to get you out of this village before they find you.

I forcefully let go of Taigong's hand and shouted, "No, I won't go with you, I'm a child of the Zhou family, I'm not going anywhere, I have to go back to my grandma!" ”

At a young age, I couldn't accept too many complicated things, my spirit was on the verge of collapse, I didn't want to believe what Taigong said, I would rather be just an ordinary child who was not treated by my family.

Taigong was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Why don't you understand?" The Zhou family is out of business, and you have no relatives in this world. ”

What?

I was stunned again and looked at my grandfather in disbelief, "My grandma ...... her"

"Before I found you, I had already been to the Zhou family, do you know how your grandmother died?"

Taigong looked at me deeply, and asked in a terrifying tone,

"She was disemboweled, her intestines flowed all over the ground, your third uncle and third aunt fell under an evil spell and were raised to be evil spirits, and by the time I arrived, your grandmother was not complete."

Thump!

My eyes went black and I fell again.

The gloomy words floated in his ears, "In the end, all this is because of your mother...... Her identity is special, she is not an ordinary crazy woman, I brought her to Zhoujiagou back then, but also to help her avoid the enemy. ”

"It's a pity that after hiding for more than ten years, your mother's whereabouts were still found by those people, although your mother is dead, but those people still refuse to let go of this village, and even plan to erase everything about your mother, not only you, but even the entire village ......"

Taigong's tone became more and more difficult, as if he had some concerns, he still refused to point out his words, and grabbed my arm again,

"Now that the whole village has been sealed off by evil methods, if I guess correctly, those people will soon do it, and we don't have time to delay."

I looked dumbfounded and didn't speak.

The things I have experienced in the past few days have long subverted my three views, and I no longer know how to look at the world.

Taigong couldn't help but say, and pulled me to stride towards the entrance of the village.

As I walked, my eyes were once again covered by a thick fog, and a miasma of fog drifted on top of each other.

These miasma of fog are like rolling floods, completely cutting off the route out of the village, and the inside and outside of the village are almost two different worlds.

Coming to the suspension bridge at the edge of the village, Taigong stopped, and his face became extremely solemn.

"As long as you cross this suspension bridge, you can leave the village boundary, but they have already blocked the only passage with the Hundred Ghost Array, and it is difficult to break through."

I looked at Taigong in a daze, "Who are they talking about?" ”

Taigong's face twitched, becoming harder than a stone, and he shook his head, "Don't ask so much, I'll take you out of the village first, and then I'll talk about it when I'm in a safe place." ”

After saying that, Taigong opened his pocket, took out a small lantern made of white paper from it, and stuffed it into my hand.

The surface of the lantern is covered with curved lines with red pens, and there are many red blood lines wrapped underneath.

Taigong wrapped the blood thread around my wrist, lit a white candle, and inserted it into the lantern, "Zhou Xuan, you remember, this is the soul-attracting lamp, as long as the lantern is not extinguished, we can follow its guidance and leave the village." ”

"When crossing the bridge, no matter what you see or hear, don't pay attention to it, and don't speak, so as not to leak yang energy when you open your mouth, and you will be targeted by dirty things."

Taigong admonished in a deep tone, "If you can pass this level, everything will be fine for the two of us, and if you can't break through, you will ...... Alas! ”
