The next morning, while Chen Mengsheng was still sleeping, the two children had already gotten up early. Chen Mengsheng did not dare to make any noise and could only look at this immortal brother in silence. How could Chen Mengsheng not know about the Qingming Festival at the Lingtai?
, closed his eyes and said: "Have you decided what to eat first?"
The two children were so happy that they said in unison: "Wang Po's sesame cakes and beef soup. Brother Fairy, can you conjure it up?"
Chen Mengsheng was embarrassed this time. Among his twenty-four spells, there was a method for moving the five ghosts. But he couldn't ask the five ghosts to move the sesame cakes and beef soup, so he had to say: "I can't change it, so you two just call me."
Brother Chen, that's all. If someone hears you calling the gods, my magic won't work." The two children were frightened by Chen Mengsheng, and they brought water for Chen Mengsheng to wash. Chen Mengsheng started to like him from the bottom of his heart.
These two children were born. I thought about how I was just like them five years ago. I had no clothes to cover my body and no food to eat. Then I touched the head of the second bald man and saw two white spots on the back of the second bald man's head.
The two pieces seemed to be as big as copper coins, so no wonder they were called two bald men.
The second bald man also smiled sheepishly and said, "My mother said it will be fine when I grow up. I don't know if my parents will come to see me again." The second bald man's eyes turned red after he said that.
Chen Mengsheng hurriedly changed the subject: "Which one is older, the six-year-old boy or the two-bald boy?"
Xiao Liuzi said: "Brother Chen, I'm already fourteen, and I'm two years older than Er Baldy."
"Haha, okay, Brother Chen has washed up, let's go get some things together." The two children suddenly looked like two little tits, dragging Chen Mengsheng out of Nengren Temple.
Although Huzhou Prefecture is a day's journey from Lin'an City, this street is completely different from Lin'an. The waterways in Huzhou Prefecture are crisscrossed, and small awning boats can be seen everywhere. Chen Mengsheng was taken to a place called Fuxiadun by two little monkeys.
place.
An old woman in her fifties was holding a pair of baskets. In front of the basket were two stoves, one large and one small. The small stove was simmering fragrant beef soup. The big stove was made of an empty iron bucket.
The charcoal is burning, and the sesame cakes are stuck on the inner wall of the iron barrel. The old woman's sesame cake stall is doing very well. The old woman kneads the dough and presses the cakes, adds green onions, lard, sprinkles sesame seeds, and bakes them in the oven.
Xiao Liuzi was obviously very fond of the old woman. When he saw Xiao Liuzi coming, he said, "Little girl, I came to see Grandma Wang again today."
Xiao Liuzi said: "Haha, Grandma Wang, I'm here to eat sesame seed cakes today. Grandma, please give me more green onions and more lard."
"Okay, add more green onions and more lard. Haha, how many do you want?"
Chen Mengsheng said: "Then let's get six cakes and three bowls of beef soup first." After a while, the hot beef soup and fragrant sesame cakes were brought to Chen Mengsheng. Chen Mengsheng picked up the sesame cakes and took a bite. It was indeed delicious.
, crispy and crispy. This taste is by no means inferior to the eight major cuisines eaten in Yushifu.
The two children had their mouths full of oil. After they were full, the three of them started wandering around Huzhou Prefecture. Chen Mengsheng asked deliberately: "Second Baldy, where did your head get broken yesterday?"
When the two children heard this, their faces turned pale with fright. Xiao Liuzi trembled and said, "Brother Chen, it's not clean there. The mansion is haunted, and many people have seen it."
"Then where did you go, bald man?"
The two bald men said in a voice like mosquitoes and flies: "Most people would not dare to look for chickens and ducks if they ran into Qianyuan. So I often go to Qianyuan to see if there are any chickens or ducks running there.
Yesterday I went there at dusk and heard a cock crow. After searching for a long time, the cock crow came from the haunted Lu family. I thought Xiao Liuzi went in after not eating for a day. Then I heard
There was a sound on the roof, I just raised my head and I didn’t know..."
Chen Mengsheng took out the largest piece of silver he could think of from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Liuzi and said: "Brother Chen has to go do some errands. You and Er Baldy go back and get something to eat by yourself first. Don't wait for eldest brother to come back."
Xiao Liuzi blurted out at once: "Brother Chen, are you going to the haunted house? Don't go, I've seen this ghost before..." Xiao Liuzi realized that he was speechless and covered his mouth with his hands.
Chen Mengsheng asked curiously: "Xiao Liuzi, have you seen that ghost? Tell Brother Chen what's going on?"
Xiao Liuzi shook his head sometimes and nodded. Seeing the fear in her eyes, Chen Mengsheng stopped trying to embarrass the little girl. He gently patted Xiao Liuzi's shoulder and used the Taoist Jingchun Gang.
When the Qi was injected into Xiao Liuzi's body, Xiao Liuzi felt as if the spring breeze was blowing on his face and his body felt relaxed, and the fear was swept away.
After Xiaoliuzi and Erbaluzi left, Chen Mengsheng asked passers-by where the Qianyuan was and strode towards the Qianyuan. An hour later, Chen Mengsheng arrived at the Qianyuan. The Qianyuan really looked like a large manor, with a radius of half a mile.
There was only this one family inside, and the wooden door was half-closed. On the right side of the wooden door was the Chinese character "LU" written in seal script.
Chen Mengsheng pushed the door open and entered, only to feel a cold air blowing directly into his face. Outside the hospital was a scorching autumn sun, but the cold inside the hospital made his scalp numb.
Walking into the courtyard, there is a path paved with bluestones. The roadside is covered with poplar trees. The large clumps of poplars fall on the bluestone road like clusters of bright red blood flowers. Behind the bluestone road is a
A three-story building with black tiles and gray walls. The window on the third floor was open. Chen Mengsheng took a closer look and saw only a white shadow passing behind the window. Under the blue sky and broad daylight, Chen Mengsheng also felt a chill running down his spine...
As he approached the house, he felt that the entire inner courtyard was filled with deathly silence. The chirping of cicadas on the trees stopped abruptly. For the first time, Chen Mengsheng could hear his own heartbeat "thump, thump, thump..."
"
A heavy carved wooden door stood in front of him. Chen Mengsheng held the copper handle of the wooden door and pushed it hard. There was a "crack-plop-plop" noise in the room and he didn't know what it was, and a large group of black shadows rushed towards it.
Chen Mengsheng, when he lowered his head, a large black shadow passed directly against Chen Mengsheng's scalp.
The cold wind on Chen Mengsheng's neck made goosebumps stand up all over his body. When he turned around, he saw hundreds of bats flying into the sky behind him. Chen Mengsheng cursed in his heart and continued to walk into the house.
The room on the ground floor is a hall, and the walls of the hall are hung with paintings of Zhang Liang's Picking Up Lures. To the south of the hall is a bronze statue of Kong Zhongni. The incense burner has long been used up and has gone cold. Further forward is a dark table of the Eight Immortals.
It's just that there is a thick layer of dust accumulated on the Eight Immortals' table.
Exiting the hall is a patio that is more than ten feet square. There is only one well in the patio. The walls of the well are covered with green moss and the water is clear. Connected to the patio are the kitchen and the wing.
There were some sundries piled up in the wing, including some embroidery bindings and threads. On the other side of the wing was a wooden staircase leading to the second floor. Chen Mengsheng walked around the ground floor and found nothing unusual.
"Hee hee... hee hee... giggle... giggle... Jie Jie Jie..." A burst of laughter came from upstairs. The laughter was not loud but it was very weird. It did not look like the laughter of a man or a woman. He followed closely.
Then there was a sound of "dong dong dong" running on the ladder...
Chen Mengsheng held the devil-conquering ruler in his hand and pedaled up the ladder, leaping up and flying straight to the second floor. There were four rooms on the second floor, and the doors of the rooms were all closed. The four rooms were separated by rosewood, with carved wooden boards.
Picture of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. Chen Mengsheng felt that the palm of his hand holding the magic ruler was covered with cold sweat and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He opened the first wooden door and found a study room. The bookshelves on the four walls were full of books. There was nothing unusual about it. Chen Mengsheng entered the study carefully.
After taking a look, the door of the study room closed automatically without any wind at this time, and there was another burst of chuckles outside the door, "Gurgling... Jie Jie Jie...", followed by the sound of "dong dong dong" running.
Chen Mengsheng yelled the loudest, swung out the magic ruler, and the door of the study was split in half like a sharp knife cutting tofu. He kicked the door out, and it was empty...
Chen Mengsheng broke down the doors of the other three rooms to save himself from being locked in the room again.
Except for one of the four rooms, which is a study, the other three are all bedrooms. They are fully furnished with pillows, mats and furniture, and there are no ghosts. "Giggle...Giggle...Jie Jie Jie..." There was another burst of laughter, this time from the third floor.
outgoing.
Zhen Mengsheng's heart was filled with unknown anger. As a judge, he was actually being teased by a ghost. He turned over and jumped out of the window on the second floor, flying straight to the window on the third floor. Chen Mengsheng, who was lying next to the window, secretly looked into the window...
"Ah, my mother." There was a strange black face in the window lattice, leaning up to look up at the window lattice. Chen Mengsheng and the strange black face were just a finger apart and looked at each other. The strange face looked at each other again.
The chuckle of "kekeke...jiejiejiejie".
Chen Mengsheng was just about to hit the ghost with the strange face with the magic ruler, but Chen Meng stopped the magic ruler less than a foot away from the ghost. In this moment, the dark-faced ghost wearing white silk appeared out of thin air.
Escaped...
Chen Mengsheng thought of a person just now, Qiu Renxin in the Rejuvenation Room... When Qiu Renxin was poisoned to death by Du Lan with arsenic, the ghost's body also had a black appearance. Thinking about it again, the white silk ghost was clearly a fourth or fifth grader.
As a child who is 6 years old, Chen Mengsheng knows how powerful the Demonic Ruler is. Uncle Sun Tianci was beaten to pieces by the Demonic Ruler. Now that he can control the Demonic Ruler, he can no longer let the Demonic Ruler cause any more unjust souls.
Now that Chen Mengsheng knew that it was the wronged soul of a four or five-year-old child, he felt a lot more at ease. He began to look for the child in the house, but it was difficult to find him. The house was surrounded by thick poplar trees.
The sky is closed and the sun is closed, so that the child's innocent ghost dares to come out during the day. Now it seems that it can only come again at night. It would be easier if we knew the name of the child.
Chen Mengsheng, who had been nearby since the time of the murderous house, began to inquire about the Lu family. However, when I asked people in the adjacent streets, as long as they mentioned the Lu family in Qianyuan, they kept silent. Everyone seemed to be interested in the matter.
The Qianyuan Lu family has a strong sense of fear...
