Leng Xi looked up at the lantern above his head, and couldn't help but recall the time when he was with his master and brother when he was a child:

That day is also such a mid-year festival, every time the mid-year festival master will take him and his senior brother down the mountain after a long absence, the day of the mid-year festival is wide open, there are many ghosts will mix in the crowd to take the opportunity to do bad things, often on this day will happen a lot more ghosts than usual to hurt people.

So he and his senior brother went down the mountain and couldn't have a good time, but also to help the master drive away the little ghosts, the deepest impression was that the master said that because the eighteenth layer of hell disappeared two fire spirit snakes, there was an evil ghost ran out, it happened that day was the Midyear Festival, the master calculated that the evil ghost would appear, and took the two brothers out of the mountain.

On that day, he and his senior brother wore masks like everyone else, and there were as many people on the street as there are today, and the crowd was bustling, and he and his master and brother were separated, and in order to wait for his brother, he ran to a bridge, and I don't know why many people around him were crying, as if someone was lost, and more than one person was lost.

He watched the people on the bridge come and go a lot, but he didn't see the master and brother, there were more and more people on the bridge, and he was also squeezed with the flow of people for a long distance, and suddenly he didn't know why there were fewer and fewer people, not as crowded as just now, all around was foggy, not far, he could only see the people in front of him lining up one by one and walking slowly forward, he didn't know where they were going, Leng Xi asked the person in front:

"Grandpa, where is this going? ”

The old man looked back and saw him in a daze, grabbed him and suddenly grabbed him with his dry hand, the old man's hand trembled a little because of the excitement, and it took a while before he said a sentence:

"You shouldn't come here, go fast, don't look back, run back, run until the end. ”

Leng Xi didn't know why he looked back after listening to the old man's words, and just saw the "person" standing behind him, to be precise, a headless person holding his head, and the head was staring at him, so frightened that Leng Xi sat on the ground.

"You're all a dead person, can you accumulate some yin virtue and scare a child to do anything. ”

The head was a little embarrassed and laughed, and when he laughed, he held his head and touched the top of his neck, and the head rolled to the ground and fell out for a long time.

"Oh, looking at my memory, I thought my head was on my neck, and I was about to scratch it. ”

The headless corpse was groping around for its head, and the head kept crying out "Where has my head gone?" ”

Those ghosts actually laughed because of this scene, this scene attracted the ghost in the black cloak, and the old man quickly pulled Leng Xi up and pleaded with the ghost:

"The two adults are good, this kid has not only broken into here, but his soul lamp is still on, please send this innocent child back." ”

The two ghosts glanced at each other, and one of the ghosts said coldly:

"Follow me. ”

Leng Xi felt that his voice seemed to come from a long distance, and it sounded very ethereal, but the mouth on the skull under the cloak opened and closed, and every time he said a word, a cold air would come out, it was really the voice made by the skeleton, Leng Xi couldn't help but shudder and followed him.

The ghost cha took him to the front of the team, I don't know how long he walked, a bridge slowly appeared in the thick fog, a dark blue lamp was lit on the bridge, and the old grandmother was stirring the things in the pot under the lamp, and when he walked in, he found that there was more than one grandmother, four or five identical grandmothers, some were serving soup, some were wiping the table, some were in the stirring pot, and one was trying the soup.

She tasted it and nodded with satisfaction, then tasted it again with a satisfied nod, and tasted it again...... One of them found out and slapped her on the head!

"What are you doing, how many times have you said don't taste the soup, don't taste the soup. ”

The old woman took the spoon aggrievedly, "I just want to see how the soup is boiling today." ”

"And what do you taste?"

"I forgot ......"

Seeing this scene, the ghost shook his head helplessly:

"Meng Po, come to a bowl of soup, I don't know how many people have accidentally entered the underworld today, and I don't care about the rest, but this kid's soul lamp is not extinguished, and I am afraid that something will happen to me if I go to reincarnation. ”

Several identical old women suddenly turned to this side at the same time, one of them came over with a bowl of soup, just as she was about to hand the soup to Leng Xi, as if she had found something, holding the soup in one hand, and reaching out to the soul lamp on Leng Xi's shoulder with the other, when her hand was about to touch the soul lamp, she stretched out her hand back as if it was burned, and suddenly several old women merged into one.

She approached Leng Xi and looked at Leng Xi from top to bottom, and a face full of wrinkles almost touched Leng Xi's face,

"What are you doing here?"

"I don't know how, it's here in the blink of an eye. ”

The ghost cha felt strange, ordinary people can only hurt some little ghosts, why Meng Po was not only a little jealous, but also talked to this child, Meng Po has a strange temper, usually doesn't talk much, he thought like this and curiously stretched out his hand to grab the soul lamp of Leng Xi, but his skeletal hand burned directly, and the ghost had to throw that hand away, and the moment that hand was thrown out was burned to ashes.

The ghost was almost speechless for a while, and since there was only one skull, he didn't know his expression, but his mouth was wide open.

Leng Xi didn't seem to notice anything, and wondered if he would never see his master and brother again.

"Grandma, I want to go back to see my master and brother. ”

Meng Po turned around and walked towards the bridge, saying as she walked, "If you want to go back, go back." ”

Leng Xi didn't understand what she meant, but the ghost said coldly:

"Come with me. ”

Leng Xi followed him and came to another bridge, Leng Xi felt that this bridge was a little familiar, but the ghost told him to go over and not look back, otherwise he would not be able to go back.

Leng Xi walked on the bridge, the other side of the bridge was white, a little dazzling, and he couldn't see anything, but the more the ghost asked Leng Xi not to look back, the more Leng Xi was curious why, and couldn't help but look back, only to see that the ghost was pulling his other empty sleeve with a skeleton hand, as if regretting something.

Leng Xi happened to see his two eye holes twisted together, as if he was about to cry, it turned out that the skeleton also had an expression, Leng Xi thought like this, the ghost just raised his head and saw him, and screamed angrily, and Leng Xi was so frightened that Leng Xi quickly ran over the bridge, and then he couldn't see anything.

In the darkness, he heard the voice of the "stinky boy", this time it was not the skeleton roaring, but the voice of the master, and the cry, it was the senior brother, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the master with an anxious face and the senior brother crying with tears on his face.
