The female ghost looked at the corpse on the ground and sobbed quietly for a while, before she said: "The two on the ground are the parents of the little woman, and the body of the little woman on the bed is the body of the little woman. ”

Luo Yin looked at the blood that had completely turned black under the bones of the two corpses on the ground, and understood that these two people, like the people in the hall, must not have died of the plague, but were killed by people. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, could it all be killed by this female ghost?

But this can't be explained, why did she kill her parents after she died? After thinking about it, she really couldn't think of an answer, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Who killed your parents, your parents, and the people in the lobby?"

The female ghost suddenly seemed to have a flame of hatred in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "They were all killed by people, by a group of people who collect people's souls. The group rushed into the inn and killed everyone here, as well as my parents, and took their souls. ”

Luo Yin was shocked in his heart, killing people and taking souls, could it be some kind of evil demon who did it, so he asked: "You can tell me the specific situation carefully." ”

The female ghost recalled what happened that day and said, "On that day, the little girl found out that she also had the plague, and she was afraid that she would pass it on to her parents, so she found a rope and committed suicide in this room. ”

"When I woke up from the darkness, I found myself floating in the room and saw my body hanging on a beam, and then I realized that I was dead and a ghost. I was only sixteen years old at the time, and a little girl under the knees of Chenghuan's parents a little girl a little month ago, and a month later I became a lonely ghost in a foreign land. ”

After the father and mother found out that the little girl was hanged, they put the little girl's body down and placed it on the bed, and the two old men hugged and cried in the room. I saw my father and mother heartbroken, and tried to tell them that I had the plague and could not affect them, but they could not hear or touch what I said. ”

The female ghost said, with a sad look on her face, which made people unbearable to watch.

She continued: "At night, there were suddenly bursts of shouting and screaming outside the house, and the little girl's father and mother hid in the room and did not dare to go out. But this did not escape the bad luck, and it was not long before the door was kicked open, and a man in his twenties with a black mole on his face entered. ”

"This man killed my parents with a blood-stained knife and used what looked like a plate to pull their souls straight out of their newly dead bodies. The little girl tried to save them, but she was no match for him at all, she was seriously injured by him, and she was almost taken away by him with that plate. ”

I ran out of the room as hard as I could, but he chased after me, not wanting to let me go. And just as he was about to catch up with me, an accomplice called his name and told him to hurry back with the soul, and the little woman escaped. ”

Luo Yin listened to her and probably understood what was going on. A girl who had a plague and didn't want to affect her parents committed suicide and became a ghost, but after she died, she could only watch her parents being killed and drained her soul, but she was powerless to stop it.

Just listening to Luo Yin, he felt a sadness in his heart, let alone the female ghost who witnessed this scene.

"You said the man with the black mole on his face was called by his companion, so what was his name?" he asked.

"He Jin, even if my soul is scattered, I will never forget this name!" the female ghost gritted her teeth and said, "And Childe, this plague is not a natural disaster at all, but man-made, it is this group of people who spread the plague and killed countless people!"

"How do you know?" Luo Yin hurriedly asked when he heard this.

After the thief named He Jin was called away by his accomplices, the little woman secretly hid on the beam above the lobby and overheard their conversation. The female ghost recalled.

His accomplice said that this time they had collected millions of souls and corpses in nearly a month by spreading the plague, and they were almost there, and they had to leave the Chu State and return to the Southern Wilderness quickly, otherwise it would not be long before other cultivators would find out and hunt them down. ”

Then they all left, never to come back. The little girl wanted to leave after nightfall to chase them, but found that she was bound in this inn and could never leave. ”

Luo Yin was terrified when he heard this, if what this female ghost said was true, then this group of people was really scattered. The plague they spread turned this prosperous place in the eastern part of the Chu State into a thousand miles of death, and at least millions of people died, just to collect living souls and corpses, which was really cruel and terrible to believe.

I remember that in the novels, movies and TV series I saw in my previous life, the evil demons are often bold and self-explanatory, and they are the protagonist's favorite friends, and those righteous ways are usually a group of hypocritical villains who do insidious things in the name of justice.

But a story is a story after all, in this real world, the viciousness and cruelty of the evil demons are beyond imagination, and you must be careful if you encounter them in the future.

He looked at this sad and terrifying appearance when they first met, but now there are some weak and pitiful female ghosts, and said: "Then I will bury you in the wilderness next to the official road, what do you think? ”

"Listen to Childe. The female ghost nodded approvingly.

Luo Yin took out a few sheets from the other rooms, carefully put away the bones on the ground and on the bed, and prepared to take them outside for burial. Before leaving, he asked, "I don't know what the girl and Lingzun Lingtang are called, I can erect a tombstone for you in a while." ”

The female ghost said: "The little woman's surname is Lin, and she is called Su'er. Then he told Luo Yin the names of his parents.

Luo Yin nodded, returned to the lobby with the bones, and found a shovel and shovel from the post station, and walked out of the post gate with him, walking towards the wilderness by the official road.

The female ghost called Lin Xu'er, afraid of the remnant sun outside the house, and was restrained by the post station, could only stand behind the gate and watch Luo Yin walk out of the post station to find a place to bury their bones.

At this time, it was dusk, and the sun was about to set, but there was still a trace of afterglow on the earth. Luo Yin found a good place to bury the dead in the wilderness next to the official road. It is a small hill slightly above the wilderness, with less grass and soft ground and no shade.

He put the bones on the ground for the time being, raised his shovel and dug them up, and it took him nearly an hour to dig out two three-foot-deep graves.

By this time the sky had completely darkened, and only a little starlight and the light of the moon shone on the earth.

He buried Lin Xu'er's bones alone in the tomb in the east, and buried the Lin family's parents together in another tomb. Then he picked up a shovel and backfilled the soil he had just dug up little by little, until two small grave bags were piled up.

After burying the three members of the Lin family, Luo Yin returned to the post station by moonlight, and just arrived at the gate, only to see the female ghost Lin Su'er standing alone at the door waiting.

She asked timidly, "Are they all buried?"

Luo Yin nodded and said, "It's all buried." ”

He looked at the pitch-black post station, and then asked the female ghost Lin Xu'er: "You have lived here for a long time, do you know where there are candles in this post station?" It is too late this day, it is better to light candles, otherwise the darkness will always make people uncomfortable, and you can't see anything and can't do anything." ”

Lin Su'er said: "I know, I know where it is, you come with me." As he spoke, he took Luo Yin to find a few candles from the back room.

Lighting the candle flame and lighting up the neighborhood, Luo Yin looked at the flickering firelight, and finally settled down in his heart. Although there is a ghost around me, I think it shouldn't hurt me.

"The tomb has been built, but the tombstone has not been made yet, and the trees outside are not tall enough to make a tombstone. Is there a thicker and longer wooden board in this station?" Luo Yin turned his head to look at Lin Xu'er under the candlelight.

"Can these tables be removed to make tombstones?" asked Lin Xu'er.

Luo Yin looked at the dining table in the lobby, chose the largest one, compared it, and said, "The size is appropriate, but you don't mind using the table as your own tombstone?"

When Lin Xi'er heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then said: "This is the first time I have chosen a tombstone for myself." But dying in such a place, there is no such thing as a grand burial, and it is enough to have a tombstone with my name written on it. ”

Luo Yin heard that she didn't mind using the table as her own tombstone, so she didn't say anything more, found an axe for chopping wood in the firewood room in the backyard, and carefully dismantled the big table into two long and thick planks.

Then he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I will bury the Lingzun Lingtang together, it should be fine, right?"

Lin Xi'er said: "My father and mother were very affectionate when they were alive, and they would be happy to be buried together after they died. ”

Luo Yin nodded, put the two wooden planks he had selected on the ground, turned around and went back to the kitchen, and retrieved the bookbasket he had left there. At that time, because I was afraid that the evil ghosts would ask for my life, I didn't even have time to take the basket and bags, so I ran away desperately.

He took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the book basket, carefully placed it on the ground, took some water, and spent a while grinding out the fine ink of an inkstone. Then he put the unlacquered side of the table up, picked up the pen and wrote a few big words on it: the tomb of the Lin family, and then wrote the names of the Lin family's parents on another wooden board.

He blew with his mouth, and when the handwriting on the tombstone was dry, he drew the short knife and carved it on the board.

Characters written in ink tend to dissipate under the wind and sun under the rainforest, so it is better to engrave them to keep them longer. As long as the wooden tablet does not decay, the handwriting still exists.

It took half an hour of effort, he finally carved the two wooden tablets, and he said to Lin Xu'er: "What do you think, are you still satisfied?"

Lin Xu'er looked at the words on it, the pen was vigorous and powerful, and at a glance, she knew that it was a level that had only been practiced for many years, and nodded again and again: "I am no longer satisfied, your handwriting is really good, and the carving is good." ”

Luo Yin said: "If you are satisfied, then I will go and set up the wooden monument now." ”

With that, he picked up a candle in his left hand, lifted two tombstones in his right hand, and walked towards the newly built tomb outside the inn.
