Chapter 59 Well (Thanks to leader ‘Chijiang’ for the reward)
Old Man Li continued to tell the information about ghosts: "Ever since the Zhou family's daughter turned into a ghost, people have been missing in the town."
"Later, an expert said that because Zhou's daughter drowned in the well, her whole body was swollen and stiff. She couldn't bend down. She could not find anyone as long as she hid under the bed."
Lin Xing asked: "So, now the entire Wangjia Town sleeps under the bed every day?"
Old Man Li: "That's not true. This ghost is causing so much trouble. Who dares to sleep on the bed?"
Lin Xing asked again: "Then after everyone sleeps under the bed, no one will be killed?"
Old Man Li sighed: "Oh, that's not true. Someone just disappeared again a few days ago. Maybe he met the little girl of the Zhou family when he got up at night and was killed by this ghost."
Lin Xing then asked: "Where is Zhou's family this time?"
Next, Lin Xing communicated with Old Man Li and asked for more clues about ghosts.
But after hearing what Old Man Li said about ghosts, Lin Xing always felt that there were many problems in it, and the authenticity seemed very questionable.
He said to Bai Yiyi in his backpack: "Master Bai, what do you think? You have been traveling around the world for so many years, have you ever encountered such evil spirits?"
But what appeared in front of Niu Er was not a foot, but a rotten and cracked head, with a pair of eyes full of hatred staring at him.
"Master, I have found the best craftsmen from all over the world for you. When the time comes, I will engrave a plaque with the inscription written by the late Emperor for the faithful wives of the world..."
"Generally speaking, you can always encounter something when you go to the place where the ghost died."
On the other side, Lin Xing was walking on a dark street, thinking about where he could encounter the legendary ghost transformed by the daughter of the Zhou family, so that he could kill him a few times and improve his skills.
This man's name is Niu Er. Although he was born with a strong body and was a bandit in the past, he was a murderer, but he has been afraid of those gods and ghosts since he was a child.
Recalling the approximate location mentioned by Old Man Li, Lin Xing hurried over in stride.
He suddenly woke up and had only one thought in his mind: "Could it be that the drowned Miss Zhou came here to find her?"
"Afraid?" Lin Xing said: "Speaking of it, it seems that I haven't been afraid of this emotion for a long time. It's probably because I'm numb."
As he spoke, he was already lying on the bed: "Why should you take the ignorant words of a bunch of stupid men and women to heart? Go to bed early, and we will take action when the reinforcements arrive tomorrow."
After a while, a large courtyard appeared in Lin Xing's eyes. He climbed over the courtyard wall in two or three steps and began to find the location of the well.
Lin Xing said to Old Man Li: "Uncle, make me a pot of wine."
But the next moment, the yellow paper had been completely burned to ashes, and Lin Xing didn't have time to see clearly what was written on it.
The old man with a ravaged face snorted coldly and said: "Humph, I have been in the world for more than 20 years, and hundreds if not thousands of people have died in my hands. If I were afraid of ghosts, I would have scared myself to death."
."
Seeing Lin Xing suddenly talking to himself, Old Man Li's heart suddenly jumped and he couldn't help but look around a few more times.
Bai Yiyi looked at the outside environment through the gap in the backpack, and couldn't help but feel a little drumming in her heart: "Lin Xing, aren't you afraid?"
Thinking of the other party's previous performances, a chill suddenly rose in his heart: "Is this young man possessed by an evil spirit?"
The whole room suddenly became silent.
On the other side, a bandit in the guest room said: "Captain, should we... sleep under the bed?"
Since neither he nor Master Bai knew much about evil spirits, Lin Xing planned to try it based on his own experience from reading ghost stories.
The footsteps stopped in front of Niu Er's bed.
Listening to Bai Yiyi's words, Lin Xing nodded secretly, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart: "Jing Shiyu seems to know a lot about evil spirits and Taoism, but as Master Bai is a high-ranking member of the nine sects, why not
He seems to understand me too well."
Bai Yiyi hesitated and said: "I don't quite understand this, but just by hearing these words, you can't say that it must be caused by evil spirits, right? If you want to make a person disappear without anyone noticing, many masters can do it."
After the other party left, Lin Xing walked forward, glanced at the burned yellow papers, and suddenly saw some writing on one of them.
Hearing Lin Xing's words, Bai Yiyi suddenly felt a strong sense of security in her heart.
Listening to the thumping footsteps approaching, Niu Er was so scared that his whole body trembled.
"Your parents are ready to pay to build a chastity memorial arch for you. The whole town will know that you are a good girl."
"Are you going out shopping so late?" Old Man Li finished the drink and handed it to the other party. Just as he was about to persuade him, he noticed that Lin Xing was walking very fast, and in the blink of an eye he was completely integrated into the darkness outside the store.
A strong rancid smell came over and penetrated into Niu Er's nasal cavity.
It was pitch black everywhere, and with the creaking sound of the wind blowing through the windows, it was like a ghost land.
Lin Xing looked at the old man's back and thought in his mind: "I heard from Old Man Li that the Miss Zhou family has a teacher this time. Could it be this one?"
…
With a thud, the head jumped towards him.
When Lin Xing got closer, he heard the other person keep mumbling some words.
Then he said to the coachman: "Master, you go to bed first, I want to go out for a walk and take a walk."
But one of them tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Finally he couldn't help but quietly got up and crawled under the bed.
In a hazy state, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of his room.
"Don't worry, Master Bai. No matter what happens, I will definitely be the first to die. And as long as I die a few more times, the problem will definitely be solved."
While walking around, Lin Xing found that there seemed to be no one in the Li family's house.
"Sure enough, let's go to the big family's house that week first."
…
Niu Er felt much safer this time. Although the wooden floor under him was very hard, he gradually fell asleep.
The sound of "dong-dong-dong" kept reaching his ears. Just when he was feeling strange, he heard a creaking sound and the door was opened.
After a while, when Lin Xing finally found the well in the backyard of Li's house, he found an old man squatting in front of the well burning yellow paper.
At this moment, I was lying on the bed, but the words that Old Man Li said kept ringing in my mind.
The bandits lay on the bed one after another, and they soon began to snore after being tired from riding their horses all the way.
"Ning'er, just go with peace of mind."
Then Lin Xing looked at the well and found that the mouth of the well had been sealed and blocked with large rocks.
With Lin Xing's current strength, he can naturally lift the boulder open again.
But after lifting the boulder, he lowered his head and looked at the mouth of the well, and found that the well was extremely deep, and it was impossible to see what was inside in the dark night.
Lin Xing threw a stone down, and when he heard a soft thud from deep in the well, he suddenly realized: "There is no water... is this a dry well?"
