Chapter 1 The strange locust tree
Night gradually enveloped the entire sky, and the neon lights and feasting slowly opened...
Indulging in wealth, having friends in the house, changing cups and cups, and squandering the time in front of the demons dancing wildly, how can the superficial prosperity know whether the wine consumed is hard or bitter, lonely or lonely...
The cold moonlight illuminates the dark alleys. In the cold autumn wind, there are faint sounds of crying and the ghost money banknotes burned to black ashes. Yes, today is the Ghost Festival, which is also known as the Chinese Ghost Festival.
Ghost Festival!
Cheng Hao at the entrance of the alley tightened the buttons on his collar. He didn't expect that today was the Ghost Festival. My grandmother used to say that people have the Spring Festival, and ghosts have the Ghost Festival. Don't go out when it gets dark on the Ghost Festival, and go home early even if you are outside.
!
My grandma’s previous warnings are still echoing in my ears, but my grandma has been hospitalized for half a month and is still not getting better. When I was cooking in the hospital cafeteria during the day, I heard an aunt selling food talking to others and mentioned that there was a star in this alley.
A thousand-year-old locust tree. People nearby often hang red cloth ropes and wishing cards on the locust branches, because this tree has a spirit and can answer all requests!
So Cheng Hao thought about it and made this wishing sign after his grandma fell asleep. He thought about his grandma who was getting thinner in bed and the college students who have been under the glory of our party for so many years. How could they be afraid of this illusory ghost talk?
!
Holding the wishing card in hand tightly, gritted his teeth and walked into the dark alley.
The alley was already narrow, and the small second floors on both sides blocked the moonlight. The autumn wind howled like a dark wind from the underworld, causing Cheng Hao, who was already trembling in his heart, to break out in cold sweat and make his hair stand on end.
After all, in this situation, anyone would be upset.
Cheng Hao was trembling as he moved forward step by step. Suddenly, there was a "squeak" sound, and he stepped on something soft under his feet. It seemed that he could feel that there was something hard inside.
Cheng Hao's heartbeat accelerated in an instant, and he couldn't help but think that there was a piece of human skin under his feet, with messy human bones inside... As he thought about it, his scalp felt numb and his thighs trembled.
I quickly used the light on my phone to shine a light on it, and I was relieved. It was a woman’s cloth bag.
wrong!
Why is the woman's bag thrown here? Is it accidentally left here? Or is it stolen by a thief and left here?
When Cheng Hao knelt down to open it, he saw something on the wall from the corner of his eye. He looked over and saw that it was a mobile phone. When he picked it up, he saw on the wallpaper a pretty woman with a straight shawl, an oval face, big eyes, and a sweet smile.
With a little light makeup, she looks extra pure and lovely.
I hurriedly opened the bag again. There were some women's items inside, and my wallet was also there. It didn't look like it was stolen. Could it be that I was kidnapped when I walked here?
Cheng Hao, who was frowning, took his mobile phone and carefully observed the cement road. There seemed to be no traces of vehicles passing by. It was strange!
Is there really such a thing as a supernatural event? I haven’t seen anything like this in my life!
Or maybe it was such a beautiful girl who gave him the courage to stage a bloody plot of "the hero saves the beauty, and then the beauty agrees to marry him".
Strange to say, after doing this, the original fear has faded a lot, and it has become a bit more "dog courageous". It can be said that the ignorant are fearless, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers! Pack up the girl's things and continue to move forward...
The towering locust tree is covered with red cloth strips and wishing cards, which make a rustling sound when blown by the wind. It has a somewhat sacred feeling, but unfortunately it looks a bit weird in the dark night.
But what is even more shocking is that there are eight figures hanging around the big locust tree, six women and two men. Their feet are touching the ground, and their hands are hung on the branches by invisible threads. Each one of them is unconscious.
There are Bagua diagrams painted with gray-white powder under his feet!
A man in black robes sat cross-legged in front of the Bagua diagram. His closed eyes suddenly opened, and a pair of sinister eyes looked coldly at Cheng Hao, who was spinning around in the alley opposite.
He raised his head and looked at the moonlight, counted the time with his left hand, and said in a cold voice: "You ant who doesn't know whether to live or die, I can't leave now, so I guess your fate is good. You will stay in the ghost wall.
Stay here until I succeed and reward you with your whole body. Otherwise, I will peel off your skin and cramp your muscles, refine your soul and extract your soul, so that you will never be reincarnated!"
Cheng Hao, who was still smearing himself in the alley, couldn't help but shudder. It was so cold in the late autumn night! It was so cold that he suppressed even the slightest urge to urinate.
This shabby alley is not big. Why haven't I seen a big locust tree after walking for so long? I looked at my watch and saw that it was twelve o'clock in a few minutes. I felt something was wrong. I had to find a tree and finish the work. Go back.
Have a good sleep!
The man in black robe looked coldly at Cheng Hao who continued to circle around the ghost wall. It was almost early in the morning. So he calmed down forcibly, circulated his spiritual power, and began to chant the secret formula in a low voice and quickly.
He couldn't help but feel nervous for a while. He could immediately follow the family's secret method to summon the souls of his ancestors to come, and then offer sacrifices. If I can win the mercy of my ancestors and become my guardian spirit, the whole world will be crawling.
At my feet!... Worst of all, you can still ask your ancestors to pass down the Xuan Kung, and you can be free for the rest of your life!
I'm almost done reading it, it's almost done, there's one more sentence...and half a sentence left!
Suddenly, "Shh"!
After Cheng Hao felt relieved for a while, he quickly fastened his belt and couldn't help but look up and around with a guilty conscience. Urinating and urinating everywhere is indeed something that a high-quality college student should not do...but you can't pee in your pants!
I looked hard and saw a big locust tree, a man in black robes and a few hanging people suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. In the middle of the night, this weird scene made people unstoppably scary!
Before he could recover, he could only hear the man in black robe yelling at the top of his lungs: "You damn...I'll kill you!"
The man in black robe stood up in grief and anger, and rushed towards Cheng Hao with a fist in one hand. He almost shed tears of bitterness. It was obviously the last step, but you splashed the boy's urine and broke my wall, which made me feel sad.
I got nervous and got tongue-tied!
Cheng Hao woke up from the shock and looked at the menacing man in black robe. He quickly stepped aside and hid. He turned around and pointed at the man in black robe. He raised his voice to encourage himself and threatened: "What are you going to do? I'll recruit you."
If I mess with you, I'll hit them!
Also, what did you do to those people? I advise you to let them go quickly. I just called the police and the police will be here soon!"
The man in black robe turned around, took a few deep breaths, and said in a hateful voice: "You ruined my opportunity and ruined my future. This revenge is like killing my parents! You also called the police. Oh, what if the police come? I will do it today."
I want to peel off your skin and cramps, crush your bones and spread your ashes!"
Suddenly a yellow palm came out from the hand of the man in black robe. Cheng Hao was shocked. Spell? Magic? Is this a dream?
Bang!
Cheng Hao was beaten so hard that he hit the big locust tree behind him. His internal organs seemed to be shattered. Mouthfuls of blood spurted out from his mouth. The pain that penetrated his bone marrow clearly told Cheng Hao that this was not a dream.
it is true!
Cheng Hao shook his hairy head, swallowed the blood that surged up with force, reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the man in black robes who was walking over step by step with horror and anger, and said: "You are
Who are you? Aren't you afraid of legal punishment if you kill me?"
The man in black robe walked up to Cheng Hao, squatted down, grabbed Cheng Hao's hair, lifted his head up, and said viciously: "You ruined my great good! Don't worry, I won't let you die so happily!"
Cheng Hao looked horrified and said, "Aren't you afraid of legal sanctions?"
The man in black robe suddenly burst out laughing, as if he had heard some funny joke, and said disdainfully: "You are just an ant. If I kill you, it will be like trampling an ant to death. Who will fight for the death of an ant?"
Am I an enemy?
The law is just a tool used to tame you ants. Boy, this world is not as simple as it seems. Everyone has his own destiny. It is destined by God that some people are born to be kings, and some people become bandits. And you are just a
I was born an ant, hahaha..."
Cheng Hao gradually lost consciousness in the pain and murmured: "All human beings are created equal, no one is high or low...ah!"
Ring ring ring!
A string of pleasant bells sounded.
Before Cheng Hao finished speaking, he was hit by a pain that was a hundred times stronger. He forcefully swallowed the words he had not finished speaking. After a heart-rending scream, his consciousness became extremely clear!
When he looked down, he saw a group of black strange bugs the size of fingernails, eating on his feet. The dense bugs soon covered his calves!
Watching his calf disappear little by little, the fear in his heart and the physical pain actually aroused the bloody spirit buried in the young man's bones!
Cheng Hao calmed down and looked at the man in black robe with a pair of very calm eyes.
The man in black robe felt terrified as he watched. He continued to swing a bell with one hand and said sternly: "Do you know what these are, bone-eating worms! They will eat every drop of your blood, every inch of your skin, and every piece of your body."
Every bone has been gnawed to the last bit, so it tastes good!"
Cheng Hao's face turned pale, and he tugged on the black-robed man's clothes with trembling hands. A pair of bloodshot eyes that looked a bit scary stared at him fiercely and said: "If...I have...it's...possible, I will kill...kill you."
!”
The man in black robe was stunned. Before he could say the cruel words subconsciously, he saw Cheng Haosong tugging at his clothes hand, and then leaned against the big locust tree and stood up little by little.
Then he took out the wishing card from his pocket, tremblingly tied the card and the red strip of cloth to a branch, murmured a few words, looked at the man in black robe in front of him, a trace of ferocity flashed in his heart, and said calmly:
"When I was young... I met an... an immortal. He said that he was destined to me and passed... me a... formula. He said that one day my life is in danger, if I speak to... the other person..., he will keep me.
One life!"
The man in black robe was suddenly extremely surprised. Could it be that this son was favored by a certain master? If so, he would be in big trouble! He suppressed the shock in his heart and said, "Say it!"
Cheng Hao's hand holding him suddenly softened, and the man in black robe subconsciously supported Cheng Hao. Cheng Hao feebly spat out a few words: "Bing...han...qian..."
"What?" The man in black robe put his ear close to Cheng Hao's lips, trying to hear clearly what he said. Suddenly, Cheng Hao, who was already weak, hugged the man in black robe's head tightly with both hands.
His originally calm eyes became crazy, and he turned his head and bit the black-robed man's throat. Blood instantly filled Cheng Hao's mouth, and continued to flow down his body to the ground, mixing with the gray-white gossip.
At this moment, the man in black robe was panicking like an ordinary person, not knowing what to do at all. Just like being soaked in a boy's urine by Cheng Hao just now, he was so angry that he forgot about his spiritual power and magic.
Soon, the man in black robe whose throat was bitten fell to the ground and kept twitching. He covered the wound with his hands and looked at Cheng Hao in horror. After all, he died, and Kong Liu was unwilling and regretful. As the saying goes, murderers will always be killed!
At this time, the eight people hanging around the big locust tree fell to the ground one after another, the sound of the bell disappeared, and most of the bone-eating insects on Cheng Hao's leg also escaped. Looking at the leg that had been chewed to the thigh and disappeared, Cheng Hao couldn't help but
I smiled sadly.
I climbed hard and leaned against the big locust tree. I turned around and looked at the beautiful face of the woman with a shawl who was closest to me. An extremely unreal feeling filled my heart. Yes, I actually saved her, hehehehe
, what a shame, even risking his own life... But what should I do with my grandmother who is still lying in the hospital? She can't have no one to take care of her. As I thought about it, my consciousness gradually blurred...
A breeze blew by, and Cheng Hao, whose consciousness became increasingly blurred, suddenly murmured softly: "Let's go with the wind..." and fell into a coma completely.
At this time, a beam of white light mixed with blood light flickered for a moment. The big locust tree in the darkness gradually emitted a hazy green light, turning into a green wind that swept away the gray-white powder on the ground and the trees leaning against the big locust tree.
Cheng Hao, together they sank into the tree trunk.
