19. The headless shadow on the old window

I looked back several times and found nothing.
In the mist of drizzle.
The melon field was dark.
Yunsong tensed up and speeded up, and finally walked out of the melon field and hit the road.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Then a pair of furry little hands stretched out from the ground and hugged his calves.
Yun Song was so frightened that he was about to slash him with his mahogany sword, but when he looked down, he found that it was the fat man holding him with his claws!
Fatty stared at his little eyes with a panic expression on his face:
What about me? What should I do? I'm the one you're in trouble with! Why do you keep running and don't care about me? I'm chasing you very hard!
Yun Song couldn't help but slap his forehead and forgot about this thing!
Just now it was Pang Yu who was following them in the watermelon field. This thing is so fat and short that it can walk among the watermelon vines without showing its head!
He didn't dare to waste time, so he picked up the fat turtle and stuffed it into Gou Wenwu's arms and shouted: "Hold it and leave quickly!"
The rain began to fall heavily, and the summer nights suddenly became cold.
They ran along the field ridge, running quite fast, but they seemed to be running in the wrong direction!
There is no way around it.
Dali Village is poor and naturally there are no lights at night.
In the past, when there was moonlight, he could still see the shadowy houses, but now it was so dark between heaven and earth that he couldn't even see.
And Pu Laoshi and Wang Youde's group of people didn't know where they went. They seemed to be lost!
He was anxious, but Gou Wenwu was unhurried and even gnawed corn.
Yun Song was so angry that he shouted: "Supreme Lord, are you starving to death?"
Gou Wenwu raised his head. He was still chewing corn in his mouth, but a voice sounded: "Yes, how did you recognize it?"
The face he showed changed.
Although Gou Wenwu was dirty before, he was a young master from a wealthy family after all. He was round and smooth.
Now his face is saggy, white and blue, his cheeks are thin, his eyes are protruding, his lips are shriveled, and his face is covered with corpse spots!
Fatty trembled in his arms. When Yun Song turned around, he gave a resentful look: It's better to have me roasted and eaten!
In the end, Gou Wenwu really had this intention, and said with a sinister smile: "Find a place to light a fire. We will have flesh and blood to eat today."
Yunsong drew out his mahogany sword and struck it!
The sword moves like a dragon.
It hasn't hit Gou Wenwu yet.
A black shadow retreated first, and at the same time, a shrill cry came from the wind: "I'm going, I'm going, let me go, I'll give him to you!"
Yun Song snorted coldly: "The Supreme Heavenly Lord, I hope you know the truth. Heaven has the virtue of a happy life. Xiaodao will spare your life!"
He didn't expect that he was so awesome that he could scare away a starving ghost with a swing of his sword.
Do you really have the demeanor of a Taoist master?
Yunsong had to expand a little.
The starving ghost left, and Gou Wenwu's body went limp and he almost fell to the ground.
Fatty took the opportunity to escape from his arms. After running a few steps, it looked around with its alert little eyes, then suddenly ran back and got into Gou Wenwu's crotch.
Gou Wenwu woke up with a groan.
Yun Song gave him a slap to help him wake up, and said in a deep voice: "Quickly, there is a ghost here!"
Gou Wenwu originally opened his eyes and was about to scream in fear, but after hearing his words, he froze and closed his mouth.
The night is getting darker.
The wind is getting stronger.
The vegetation in the mountains was swaying wildly.
Yun Song felt in the dark and didn't know where he was going. Anyway, he walked around and finally saw a courtyard when it was about to rain heavily.
This is a small country courtyard. It's hard to see exactly what it looks like under the darkness. You can only vaguely see the old trees planted in front of the door.
The bark of the old tree is rough and the branches are twisted, but the leaves are lush and rattle when the wind blows.
It seemed like many people were clapping their hands.
Clap your hands to welcome them.
Yun Song had just experienced a starvation attack, and now his mind was tense.
He knew that the dilapidated houses in the old villages in the wild mountains were as dangerous as the farts caused by diarrhea.
However, he dared to step forward and take a closer look at the yard, and found that the yard was small and neat, with flat walls, a door god at the door, and bricks with the word "Fu" on the walls. It didn't feel scary.
On the contrary, he looks a bit more handsome.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and they had to find a place to take shelter, Yun Song walked to the yard with Luo Tou's Yin Qian in hand.
He said to Gou Wenwu: "The clouds are too heavy. It seems that the rain is not light. We can't stay in the rain, otherwise we will get hypothermia, which can kill people."
Gou Wenwu looked up at him. A gust of cold wind blew over him and he shivered violently. He said, "Well, let's go into this yard?"
Yunsong nodded cautiously.
Gou Wenwu said again: "Taoist priest, can you go ahead and explore the way? I don't dare!"
Yun Song glared at him.
Coward!
He took out the Luotou clan's dark money and put it to his lips, then went up and knocked on the wooden door:
"Bang bang bang!"
"Crunch..."
The wooden door was only ajar and opened when he knocked.
A gust of wind blew in from the yard, causing Gou Wenwu behind him to shiver again.
The layout of the courtyard is formal, with the main door facing the main room and wing rooms on both sides. There are many wooden debris piled up in the courtyard.
A man of great skill is bold.
Yun Song walked in tentatively, and Pang Yu stood up, stretched out his front paws to hug his calves, and followed him in with his tail between his legs.
Seeing this, Yun Song turned around and glared at Gou Wenwu.
This guy can't compare to a girl who has the courage to show loyalty!
"boom!"
The door slammed shut.
Yun Song happened to turn around and saw the door passed by Gou Wenwu!
This made him furious. What do you mean? Close the door and beat the dog? Oh no, cut off my escape?
He angrily tried to close the door, but when he rushed out in a few steps, his eyes blurred, and he appeared outside a room!
He has experience, but he is blind again!
But this time the ghosts covering their eyes were more severe than the ones he encountered in the Taoist temple.
The last time the ghost covered his eyes, it only made him feel that the space in the Taoist temple had become larger.
This time, it directly changed his perception, causing him to unknowingly go in the wrong direction.
After realizing that he was encountering a ghostly sight, Yunsong stopped moving randomly. Instead, he stabbed the peach wood sword behind him with his backhand to prevent any unexpected events behind him.
The doors and windows of the room next to him were closed. At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky!
There was a sudden light between heaven and earth!
At this moment, he saw a shadow appear on the door and window!
The shadows are very clear.
It is an upright human-shaped shadow.
He wears a long robe with broad shoulders, a strong back and waist, and his arms hanging down.
But not on the ground.
Judging from the position it displays on the door and window, it appears to be floating in the air.
Plus - it has no head!
A thought suddenly appeared in his mind in horror:
Could it be that someone was hanged in the house?
Yunsong took a deep breath to get ready, then reached out to push open the door.
It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.
Now it is obvious that there is a ghost who wants to persecute him, so running away is not the answer.
The best way to eliminate fear is to face the fear first, and then become the fear!
The door opened, and a tattered homespun robe hung under the beams to dry appeared in front of him.
The mountain breeze blew into the house through the open door, causing the robe to sway...
Seeing this, Yunsong breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he walked into the house:
The first choice for ordinary people when encountering this kind of situation is definitely not to enter any house, because a closed space will give people a greater sense of fear.
That's what people think.
Ghosts think so too.
So Yunsong decided to do the opposite.
He strode in bravely and fearlessly.
The house is empty, there is a lot of dust on the windowsill on the ground, the doors and windows are made of wooden lattice, and there is no glass but window paper...
Noticing the yellow-white window paper, Yun Song suddenly thought of a question:
The window paper has poor light transmittance, making the room very dark without any light source.
So when lightning lit up outside the house just now, it was impossible for him to see the shadow of the monk's robes reflected on the doors and windows inside the house!
Then the headless hanging shadow he saw was the projection of this thing on the window!
It should be outside the house!
To be exact, behind his back!
There is something floating behind him!
Thinking of this, his whole body became cold, and a chill slowly invaded his whole body.
He turned his head little by little.
There is nothing behind it.
Seeing this, Yun Song made a quick decision and jumped forward like a hungry tiger. She put her hands on the ground and did a hungry tiger somersault:
This is experience!
The last time he was haunted by the Hanged Man in a Taoist temple, he looked around but found no trace of the Hanged Man because the Hanged Man was floating above his head.
So this time he found that there was another thing beside him but he turned around and didn't notice it. The first thing he thought of was that the ghost was also above him.
And if a ghost is on top of him, once he performs a somersault, he will have to leave as long as the ghost does not want to be crushed by him:
This trick is very clever.
After he landed on the ground on the back of his neck, the chill that wrapped around him disappeared.
Then a high-pitched voice sounded in the air: "He who chops off the head, you do have a brain."
Yunsong suddenly looked up.
A body floated in his previous position.
Broad shoulders, long waist, feet off the ground.
There are large black spots on the robe, which seem to be caused by the blood drying and hardening for too long.
But there is no brain.
It was the reflection he saw on the door and window before!
Chapter completed!
