Seeing the huge thing emerging from the thunder and lightning, I couldn't help but be frightened. I forgot to look at my feet for a moment, and tripped over a stone under my feet.
My body fell forward. Nangong Fan had quick eyesight and quick hands. Before I could fall to the ground, he grabbed me by the collar, pulled me up, and then pushed me out of the back door.
Then Nangong Fancong ran out.
"Rumble..."
As the thunder slowly dissipated, I took a deep breath. At this time, the sky fell into darkness again, and I could no longer see the huge blue shadow.
I said "thank you" to Nangong Fan, and she said: "No need to thank me, just don't drag me back when we fight against the real owner here later!"
Before I could speak, the darkness in the sky slowly dispersed, and beams of sunlight shone into the village again. I asked curiously: "Did the monster disappear when we came out of that yard? That yard...
"
Halfway through what I said, I was stunned, because the dilapidated courtyard with three entrances we just passed suddenly changed drastically. It had a vermilion door, and a black lacquered gold plaque was hung on the door, with two words written on it.
The word "Su Zhai".
There are two large red lanterns hanging at the door. The courtyard door is open, and there are two middle-aged men in black short shirts working in the courtyard. They are working together to saw a very thick board.
Judging from their appearance, they should be two carpenters.
There is a black table next to them, with teapots and bowls on the table.
"Zhizhi, Zhizhi..."
The sound of their sawing reached my ears, and I was stunned. What was going on? Have I fallen into an illusion?
I turned back to look at Nangong Fanxing. She also had a surprised look on her face. Apparently she also saw the two carpenters working.
I looked around again, and the whole village had changed. The old houses that were originally wrapped in vines were completely new. All the houses were intact. The vines were gone, but the missing doors and windows appeared.
The most important thing is that pedestrians slowly began to appear on the street.
What is going on? Is it an illusion? But if it is an illusion, why is my consciousness so clear?
Thinking of this, I asked Nangong Fan for help.
She glanced around and said: "This is not an illusion, but reality. All the things you see are ghosts, and those people are ghosts. All the furnishings on the doors, windows, and tables are not illusions, but real existences."
The negative things, those things are for the use of ghosts!"
Having said this, I couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that all the furnishings in this village have not disappeared, but have all been turned into negative objects, so that they can be used by those people after death?"
Nangong Fancong said: "It seems that you are not very stupid, I think so! I am more and more curious about what happened in Beiyu Village back then, turning a good village into a ghost village."
I continued to speculate: "When we were at the Jade Emperor Temple, we didn't see the statue of the god. Will it turn into a ghost object? If we go to the Jade Emperor Temple now, will we see a new statue of the god appear?"
Nangong Fancong thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Jade Emperor Temple to have a look."
After that, she pulled me and ran towards the Jade Emperor Temple. Along the way, we ran wildly. The ghosts passing by us didn't stop us, they just looked at us curiously. Their behavior was completely like human beings.
It doesn't look like a ghost at all.
Along the way, I couldn't help but look at them more. I wanted to find Xiaojia's father among them. When I lived at Zhao Ling's house, I had seen photos of Xiaojia's father, so if I encountered his ghost, I would definitely be able to find it.
Recognized.
Soon we ran back to the Jade Emperor Temple along the path. The Jade Emperor Temple was still the same as before, deserted and empty. The empty Jade Emperor Temple had no gods. The skeleton of the little girl in the corner of the temple was still there. The red silk
Bu is also here.
There are no changes at the Jade Emperor Temple.
Nangong Fan and I were stunned when we saw the situation here. After a while, Nangong Fan said: "It seems that your speculation is wrong. There are no clues here. Let's go back to the village. Anyway, those ghosts are out.
They take the initiative to do things to hurt us, so we don’t want to provoke them. We should go to Xiaojia’s father first.”
I nodded.
We returned to Beiyu Village along the path. At this time, I discovered something strange. This village is not too big. Logically speaking, it only has about a hundred or so people. However, as we ran all the way, we saw more than a hundred people.
, I estimate there will be five to six hundred people.
No, there should be five or six hundred ghosts.
Is it possible that those extra ghosts were captured by people in this village and lived here like Xiaojia's father?
But what is the purpose of those people catching those ghosts and living here?
As a slave?
No, I took a look and found that almost all ghosts in the village are equal, no one is inferior to anyone else.
If the only place where there is some distinction between classes is in the third courtyard, the two carpenters in the backyard are obviously working for the owner of that family.
Their status is considered to be of a lower level.
But when they were working, there were teapots and teacups next to them, so it didn't look like they were being exploited.
Thinking of this, I was completely confused. What on earth is going on in this village?
Soon, we arrived near the third-entry courtyard again. Instead of going to the back door, we turned to the front door. There were also two lanterns hanging in front of it, and a black lacquered gold plaque with the same word "Su House" written on it.
There were two children playing in the yard in front of the door. Behind the children stood a woman. She watched the two playing with a happy smile on her face.
It’s so real. What on earth are these ghosts doing!?
And what is the origin of that giant thing in the sky that disappears and swims in the thunder and lightning?
There are too many mysteries in this village.
I suddenly felt that this might be the most difficult case we have ever encountered, because until now, we have almost no clue about the case.
We have encountered difficult cases before, but they were all led by experts like Li Guidao and Tian Sihan. We worked on the side and didn't feel how difficult those cases were, but when we lead a case
By that time, the feeling was completely different.
When I was in a daze at the door, the woman walked directly towards me and Nangong Fancong.
She was wearing a brocade dress, her appearance was considered to be above average, and she had a few gold hairpins decorated with phoenixes on her head, and she looked very noble.
When I saw her walking toward us, I became nervous and reached out to touch the dagger on my body. Nangong Fancong held my wrist down and signaled me not to move.
Naturally, I wouldn't move. I held the dagger just for safety.
After all, we know very clearly that the woman, including the two children running in the yard, a boy and a girl, are ghosts.
It is absolutely impossible to say that I am not afraid.
But we must not act rashly, because the whole village is full of ghosts. If we kill one, it will be bad for other ghosts to besieged.
The woman walked up to us and asked, "You two are from out of town, are you standing in front of my house looking for someone, or are you here to get some work?"
She actually started talking to us.
When I didn't know what to say, Nangong Fancong said: "We are not looking for anyone, nor are we looking for errands. We are just passing by your land. When we saw that your house is the richest in the village, we stopped and took a closer look.
.”
The woman looked at Nangong Fanxing, then looked at me and said, "If you don't mind, how about coming to our Su residence for a cup of tea."
I was about to refuse, but Nangong Fan said: "Okay!"
The woman turned around and shouted into the yard: "Xiaohe, make two cups of tea and send them to the reception room in the front yard."
"Okay, miss..."
The second I entered the courtyard, I heard a woman's voice. She must have been about fifteen or sixteen years old.
At this time, Nangong Fancong leaned into my ear with a very small voice and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. The little girl who led us into this village must have a special purpose. Let's go in and try to get rid of those ghosts' mouths."
Tell me something inside."
I didn't say anything, but I was somewhat opposed to it.
These ghosts live a human-like life, which is not normal. There must be some shocking conspiracy. Before we have too many clues, I think we should go find Xiaojia's father instead of entering this weird...
Su Zhai.
Nangong Fancong stepped into the village, and I had no choice but to follow her. I didn't want to be separated from her in a ghost village.
With my strength, if I walked among those hundreds of ghosts, I don’t know what would happen.
Nangong Fanxong and I entered the yard. The two children who were playing suddenly stood up and looked at us strangely. Then the little girl didn't know what she said to the little boy, and the two little guys laughed.
He ran to the second courtyard.
Listening to the laughter of the two children, I got goosebumps all over my body.
I always felt that something bad was going to happen next. I looked up at the sky and wondered if that huge blue shadow would appear when we entered the yard this time, and if there would be lightning and thunder!
The main house that first entered the courtyard was the guest room. The woman led us to that room. Not long after we sat down, a man who looked like sixteen or seventeen years old came over with three cups of tea.
, she first gave the woman a cup, and then handed one cup to me and Nangong Fancong respectively.
Nangong Fancong reached out and picked up the tea cup, but I didn't dare to touch the tea.
Nangong Fancong once said that all the furnishings in this village are for ghosts and are all ghost objects, including these tables and chairs. But now Nangong and I are two living people sitting on these ghost objects. It doesn’t make sense.
Yes!
A living person cannot touch femininity, let alone use it.
Have Nangong Fan and I turned into ghosts?
The mystery in my heart is getting bigger and bigger!! At the same time, the sense of crisis is getting stronger and stronger. (To be continued)
