It rained in Korea that day, and it was still very clear at noon, but just half an hour later, a slightly cool wind blew, like nectar for a long time in this hot weather. It didn't take long to notice that the sky was slightly dark, and when I looked up again, there was a thick layer of dark clouds overhead, covering the sun. Then the wind became stronger, and all the surrounding trees bent down in the wind. Finally, I heard a muffled thunder, and finally there were dripping raindrops falling down. Bigger and denser, the whole world was covered in a thick curtain of rain.

On a long, narrow dirt road outside town, a horse-drawn carriage was struggling to move. The wheels seemed to be sunk in a puddle of mud, and the horses were only seen neighing, but the carriage did not move at all.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, get out of the car and see if the wheels are broken!"

Storms and torrential rains poured down, and any roar seemed extremely powerless in the midst of the crazy sound of the wind and rain!

At this time, Cheng Ru jumped off the carriage with his hat in one hand, and slid the muddy road, and the whole person fell heavily into the mud!

"What is your grandmother doing, tell you to go down and see if you can fall down too?!" Jiang Lili scolded Cheng Ru with the reins in his hand.

Cheng Ru got up from the ground in the middle of the night, half of his body was already covered with mud, and his whole body was already soaked by the torrential rain.

"Don't worry, I'll go and see!"

Cheng Ru patted the hat that fell on the ground casually and put it back on the ground, but Jiang Lili couldn't get angry when she saw Cheng Ru is action, "When are you still caring about your fart hat! There is no one around, won't you drop your hat in the carriage and come down?!"

"Forget it!"

Cheng Ru tucked his hat into his arms, held on to the axle and cautiously walked to the back of the carriage, and looked at it, and the wheels of the carriage were indeed stuck in the mud.

"The wheel is stuck in the pit!" Cheng Ru shouted at the front!

"What !!"

"The wheels are stuck in the pit!"

"Push, push!"

Cheng Ru hummed, rolled up his sleeves and pushed the carriage vigorously, but the ground was too slippery, and he never used his strength, which was almost the same as not pushing.

Jiang Lili drove the horse but never felt any movement in the carriage, secretly scolded the stupid thing called the flower, jumped off the carriage, and walked to the back in a few steps.

"You're pushing!" Jiang Lili scolded fiercely!

Cheng Ru was crying, he pointed to his boots, "I want to too, but it's really slippery, and I can't help it!"

"Useless things will make excuses!" Jiang Lili scolded hatefully, looked down at the wheels that had been swallowed by the wet mud, and scolded again!

He took off the tiger knife from behind and inserted it into the mud pit, feeling that he had already held the wheels, Jiang Lili said loudly to Cheng Ru: "Go ahead and watch the horses, I'll get the wheels out!"

"Cheng!" Cheng Ru walked to the front of the carriage step by step, climbed into the carriage with half of his strength, and grabbed the reins, "You can work hard!"

Hearing this, Jiang Lili grabbed the handle of the knife and pried the wheel upward, the horse neighed hard, and the four hooves swayed wildly in the mud, and then he felt that the carriage was moving forward.

"Whip the horse!"

At this time, there was a thunderclap, and Cheng Ru didn't hear clearly, "What?"

"Pump it!"

Cheng Ru picked up the horsewhip from the side with hindsight, and said in his heart, "Don't blame me, I can't help it!

He whipped the horse's ass hard, and the horse screamed and rushed forward like mad. Jiang Lili finally felt the strength in his hand in the empty space, and the carriage had already escaped from the mud pit.

Jiang Lili wiped the rain from his face, and scolded again that this Korean road is really, and then retracted the tiger knife from its scabbard.

The carriage stopped in front, and Jiang Lili hurried forward.

Cheng Ru jumped out of the carriage, "Are you okay?"

"What can I do?" Jiang Lili replied, "What are you doing when you get off the carriage? If the horse runs away, I'll see what you do!"

Cheng Ru laughed and said: "The horse pulling the carriage has long been exhausted, where does it have the strength to run around? Besides, the horse workshop is stopped in front, how can it run? If it runs, I will swallow my hat whole... ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard an astonishing thunderbolt, and a bolt of lightning struck a big tree not far away, and there was another loud crackling sound. The trees have been chopped into charcoal, and the sparks are shining like shooting stars in the night!

And the horse was frightened by the thunder and lightning, and after a long neigh, he stepped forward and galloped wildly!

Cheng Ru is dumb-mouthed.

Jiang Lili said in a cold voice, "What did you just say?"

If it is like a face, it will be bitter and become a frosted eggplant.

。。。。。。

Jiang Lili scolded Cheng Ru miserably, and Cheng Ru also knew that he was at a loss, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. It's just that I'm still a little glad in my heart, fortunately I didn't hear Jiang Lili put his hat on the carriage, otherwise I would be really miserable at this time!

Thinking of Cheng Ruyi, he laughed out loud, Jiang Lili turned his head suddenly when he heard the laughter, and glared angrily! Cheng Ru hurriedly waved his hand to explain, but he still got Jiang Lili's monstrous anger.

At this time, the downpour had stopped, but the two of them had become chickens in the soup, and their bodies were covered with mud. If it's okay in the rain, when the rain stops, I just feel a burst

The coolness penetrated through his clothes to his bones, and Cheng Ru covered his chest and sneezed fiercely.

The packages of the two of them were all placed in the carriage, and now they didn't even have a change of clothes. Needless to say, there is no one around me, and I have never seen the smoke of cooking at a glance, but I am afraid that I will spend the night in this wilderness tonight.

The dark clouds had already dispersed, but the sky had not yet dawned, indicating that it was already evening.

A beam of dim sunlight penetrated through, but Jiang Lili felt very dazzling.

The two of them walked in silence in the mud, one foot deep and one shallow, and Cheng Ru felt a little bored. Looking up, Jiang Lili's face seemed to have improved a lot, so he took the lead in picking up the topic and said, "Eh, Jiang Lili, did you say that the kid in the teahouse was lying to us? We have been walking towards the south for five or six days, but we haven't seen any ghosts?"

Jiang Lili snorted coldly: "That little second has a weak temperament, and he doesn't dare not tell the truth. ”

"If he really went to that ghost town, he should tell the truth, but what if he hasn't been?" Cheng Ru said: "He is a little second in a teahouse, how can he have the opportunity to go to that ghost town? We asked many people along the way, but they all said that they had never heard of this ghost town. Tell me, even the most knowledgeable storyteller said he hadn't heard of it, so how could he know it?"

Jiang Lili stopped and turned her head to look at Cheng Rusi, "What do you think?"

"I thought that Xiao Er had never been to that ghost town at all, but just looked at the two of us fierce gods, so he made a nonsense in a direction. You see, he just said a South, and nothing else. If it were put on me, I would also say, east, north, west, southeast, southwest, northwest, who wouldn't say that?"

Jiang Lili frowned, "It's just that when I first asked him about the ghost town, his frightened appearance really didn't look like a lie." When we ask the others, they are either frowning, or they are at a loss, and he is the only one who is frightened to the extreme, how do you explain this?"

"This... Cheng Ru couldn't think of any good reason for a while, so he sneezed coldly and wiped his nose, "Even if what he said is right, where are we going to find this ghost town? The concept of the south is big, the south of Korea, the south of Korea, the south of Korea, the south of the teahouse, or the 。。。。。 Tell me, we only have one news from the south, how can we find this ghost town in the Year of the Monkey?"

Jiang Lili was also a little annoyed for a while, and looked up at the sky, it was not yet night. I thought about waiting until late at night to call Wu Zhou out and ask Wu Zhou if he had any memories. also took advantage of this time to ask Wu Zhouke to scare Cheng Ruyi, so as to avenge him for losing the carriage!

"But I thought of those two people," Cheng Ru didn't know that he was 'in trouble' at this time, and still came up with an idea: "Do you remember the two people we met in the inn?

Jiang Lili nodded.

"I have also been a fortune teller for a while, although I am from a half-way background, not orthodox, but I still have some vision. Speaking of this, Cheng Ruye's face flushed, and he found that Jiang Lili did not show ridicule because of his words, so he hurriedly said: "I can see at a glance from the Taoist clothes on their bodies that these two people should be orthodox Taoists, but they are not fortune tellers, they should be mountain Taoists who subdue demons and eliminate demons." ”

"And then?" Jiang Lili asked casually.

"Since they came here from afar, it must be because of the ghosts of South Korea. Their faces changed significantly after I mentioned the ghost town at the teahouse, and they must have thought of going to the ghost town. We haven't found a way to the ghost town, but maybe the two of them have the means. You know, this kind of Taoist priest is no better than a qi refiner, since they take it as their mission to slay demons and eliminate demons, they must have a way to identify ghost qi!"

Jiang Lili felt that Cheng Ru really said something useful at this time, and remembered Zhang Wei's house, that person was a good hand at subduing demons and eliminating demons, but he didn't know where he was.

Jiang Lili retracted his mind slightly, "You mean that the two of us are following behind the two Taoist priests, maybe we can find the location of the ghost city?"

Cheng Ru nodded, "Get the wisdom of the mind!"

Jiang Lili ignored such lame sycophants, and said, "But how can we find them?"

Cheng Ru laughed confidently, "Don't they regard it as their duty to slay demons and eliminate demons? Not only that, but since they got rid of the demons, they would definitely cause a little storm in this Korea, and there would be idlers who spread the word about it. Therefore, we don't need to follow them at all, we only need to rely on these hearsay to know their approximate location!"

Jiang Lili raised her eyebrows, turned her head to look at Cheng Ruyi, and was a little surprised.

Cheng Ru raised his head proudly, and after walking a few steps, he thought again: "I just don't know what they are doing when they go to that ghost town, and whether it will hinder your business." If they want to intervene, then it's not good for us to follow them, and we should get ahead of them. ”

"Don't worry, they can't stop me. Jiang Lili said: "I went to the ghost town just to find a ghost and ask for directions, do you think I will go to the ghost town to kill demons?"

Cheng Ru was stunned, he usually didn't ask Jiang Lili the reason for his actions, so he didn't know what Jiang Lili was going to do in that ghost town until just now. I only heard Jiang Lili's answer and said in a daze: "You go to the ghost town to catch ghosts and ask for directions?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lili said coldly.

"I didn't say either

Not. Cheng Ru muttered: "But if you go to a ghost town to recruit ghosts and ask for directions, isn't it a knife to kill chickens?" South Korea is now rampant with ghosts, and even if you don't go to a ghost town, there will be a lot of ghosts! Let's just catch a ghost on the road and ask if it's okay? If you don't have to go to a ghost town, it's definitely scary. ”

Jiang Lili lost her mind for a moment, and felt that what Cheng Ru said made three senses. It's just that I remembered that Wu Zhou originally said that not all ghosts know the news of the underworld, just like Wu Zhou himself, he has never been to the underworld. Therefore, only by actually going to the ghost town can you really be sure that you will be able to learn about the underworld. If you put your mind on this ghost that harms people outside, it can only be a blind cat hitting a rat, and there is more luck in it.

After figuring out the key to it, Jiang Lili sneered: "What do you know? Don't I know the way? If you don't know something, don't talk nonsense, so you don't have to make me think you're a straw bag!"

Cheng Ru didn't know what was wrong with his words, so he discussed a few words and didn't speak again.

The sky was a little overcast again, Jiang Lili was looking around for a place where he could spend the night, and when he was upset, he heard Cheng Ru shout, "Jiang Lili, look!"

Jiang Lili was very annoyed, and shook his head, "What's the matter!"

"Look!" Cheng Ru pointed ahead.

Jiang Lili squinted and looked, and behind a hint of yellow shade in front of him, an eaves were slightly exposed.

"Haha, we have a place to settle down today!" Cheng Ru quickly ran two steps over there, "Look at it, am I a clairvoyant?"

"If you can watch the carriage well, you can have a place to spend the night without you, clairvoyant!"

Cheng Ru was deflated.

。。。。。。

Originally, I only thought it was a remote family, but after walking in, I found that it was a small village.

However, the village was so quiet that only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves could be heard, and there was no movement, not even the sound of birdsong.

Cheng Ru looked left and right, and muttered in confusion, "When is this time? Could it be that the people in this village are asleep? This is more regular than the monks in the Shaobao Temple!"

Saying that, Cheng Ru strode into the village, "Is there anyone?

Jiang Lili also wondered in her heart, looking at the outermost house, she only felt that something was wrong. After a closer look, I found the key to it. The doors and windows of this room were covered with spider silk, and the roof tiles were shattered.

Then Jiang Lili walked to the side of an ancient well in front of the house, because of the heavy rain just now, there was no dust on the wellhead. So he bent down and looked into the well, but the light was dim and he couldn't see anything, he only felt a cold air coming up from the bottom of the well, Jiang Lili shivered, pushed away a few steps, and secretly wrote down this ancient well in his heart, thinking about how much to pay attention to.

When he saw that there was no trace of Cheng Ruyi, he frowned, and wondered where this Hanako had run again?

Could it be that there are still living people in this place? Suddenly startled, Jiang Lili pulled out his knife and turned around, only to see Cheng Ru standing in the window with a surprised face, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Lili really wanted to chop off the head that Cheng Ru poked out of the window!

"I've checked, and there's no one in the village, just a few rats running around in the room, maybe because all the people in the village have migrated. Cheng Ru picked up a small bench from his side and swept away the spider silk in front of him, turned his head to Jiang Lili and said, "And in this village, only this house is the most intact and the most magnificent. Presumably the richest man in the village lived in this house, well, the village chief, maybe a landlord or something, but it didn't matter now. I'm going to see if there's any clothes to change into, and if there's anything to eat. ”

Jiang Lili let Cheng Ru rush left and right in this room, looking at this room carefully. Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a dark red on the wall, took a few steps closer, sniffed it, but couldn't smell anything in it, presumably it was too long, and the smell had gone with the wind.

After pacing a few more steps, Jiang Lili's eyes were attracted by a few scratches on the table, and he walked in and gently stroked them. This scratch didn't look like it was made by a knife soldier, Jiang Lili only felt a little familiar, but he couldn't think of it for a while. frowned, and suddenly looked at the dark red on the wall, and was shocked in his heart, only then did he remember, aren't these scratches very similar to Wu Zhou's claw marks when he was the enemy of Wu Zhou in Luoyang before!

"Jiang Lili, look, is this dress suitable for you?" Cheng Ru rushed out, his body had already changed, and the cotton felt hat on his head had also been replaced by a small round hat of the official master. He was holding a light-colored robe in his hand, and he gestured left and right at Jiang Lili in the air, seemingly extremely satisfied.

But when he looked up, he saw that Jiang Lili's expression was a little wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Lili said in a deep voice: "Didn't a major incident happen in South Korea last year? A village was slaughtered by ghosts, and no one survived. ”

"Yes, what are you talking about?" Cheng Ru muttered, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked left and right, "You mean, this village ???"

Jiang Lili nodded.

Cheng Ru gasped, and then looked out through the window, only to feel that there was a pair of invisible eyes hidden in the dark curtain outside, staring at himself vigilantly, already hungry and thirsty for blood. Prepare to take advantage of your slackness, show your claws, hide in the night, and sneak silently!
