No matter where it is, as long as it has a house, it will be good. At most, it can be better to get some hay as a bed than nothing.
Thinking of this, I quickened my pace. In just ten minutes, I arrived on the hillside. I saw a large courtyard. The eaves I just saw were not eaves, but a corner of the gatehouse. This gate was very majestic.
, there are two words on it, ghost house!
I was so happy when I saw it, I thought to myself: How could someone have the surname of ghost? Is there really someone with the surname of ghost? It can’t be that all the people living here are ghosts!
At this time, it was completely dark. I knocked on the door, but no one answered. I knocked again, but no one answered.
So I planned to climb over the wall and enter, but at this moment, the door opened and two women came out, each holding a white lantern with a ghost character written on it.
The two women looked me up and down, then didn't say anything. Instead, they hung lanterns on both sides of the door, turned around, ran back to the yard, and closed the door.
I thought to myself, what does this mean? Aren't you welcoming me? I was about to turn around and leave, but the door opened again, and an old woman came out, wearing a shroud and heavy makeup. She felt uncomfortable just by looking at her.
I have also seen ghosts and living corpses, but I still find it difficult to accept the appearance of this old woman.
When she saw me, she looked me up and down and said, "Sir, why are you here late at night? No one has been here for a long time."
I smiled and said, "I'm from Zhuque City. I want to go to Luodu to do some small business. I'm passing by here and want to stay overnight. Don't worry, I will pay for the food and accommodation."
She smiled and said, "But ours is a haunted house and you are a human being. It is not appropriate for you to live in it."
With that said, he stepped back and closed the door.
I exhaled and said, "Are you ghosts?"
The door opened again at this time, and the old woman inside came out again. She stood under the lantern and said: "You are really right, we are all ghosts living here. Look at my feet. They are
Isn’t there no shadow?”
I looked down and saw that there was no shadow of her under the lantern.
She shook her head and said: "People have human nature, ghosts have their own paths, and humans and ghosts have different paths. Young Master, you'd better go somewhere else!"
After the old woman finished speaking, she stepped back and closed the door, but I felt that the old woman seemed to be leaning over the crack in the door to peek at me.
Where else could I go in this barren mountain, so I sat down in the doorway, leaned against the wall and closed my eyes, thinking that I could just spend the night here.
I squinted like this in a daze, but in the middle of the night, I was awakened by the sound of horse hooves. When I opened my eyes, I saw a group of people riding horses surrounding the yard. The leader was a one-eyed man, and his other
A golden mask was fastened over his eyes.
This young man got off the horse and looked me over and said, "Don't you know this is a haunted house?"
I yawned and said, "You know, I just rest here to take shelter from the wind."
He snorted and said, "If you take shelter in front of the ghost house, you won't be afraid of being attacked by yin energy and getting seriously ill. Kidney deficiency is difficult to cure!"
After he finished speaking, he went over and knocked on the door. When the door opened, the group of people led their horses and walked in.
I saw clearly that there were thirty-two people in total. None of them had shadows, but those war horses all had shadows. The most important thing was that there were two bags on the two horses behind, and the bags seemed to contain two people.
.
The bag was not long enough and only covered the upper half. The lower half was still exposed. These were the women's legs. These ghosts captured two women.
The two women's mouths were gagged and they were whining in their bags. The most important thing is that I saw the ghost holding the horse holding a sword in his hand. I have seen this sword before. This is not a flute.
Xiao's sword? I suddenly realized that these ghosts actually captured those two women.
I stood up at this time and asked, "Excuse me, why did you arrest these two women?"
As soon as I finished saying this, the one-eyed ghost just entered the yard, but he came out again.
He came to my side and said: "You'd better mind your own business. I don't want to have anything to do with you humans. After all, humans and ghosts are from the same clan. Although ghosts and demons work together, in the end we still have a good impression of humans, but this is not the case."
It means I won’t kill you!”
I smiled and said, "I am a reasonable person, can you tell me why you arrested those two girls? This evil way seems to have offended many people, why do you want to kill them no matter how tempting they are?"
He sighed and said: "This is the king's order, I am just following the order!"
When I heard this, I smiled and said, "The Holy Lord is going to kill them, and the King is going to kill them too. I want to know, what happened to this evil way?"
He smiled and said: "You have to ask the king about this. These people want to lead the Shura world into the Qinglong Kingdom. This is a capital crime. Don't think that these women are good things. They are a group of people with beautiful appearance and snake-like heart."
Do you understand the female devil?"
He snorted and said: "You'd better mind your own business, and don't go any further. Go back the way you came. Going further is a restricted area. No one can break through Death Valley."
At this time, the bag suddenly shouted: "Brother, he is talking nonsense. We have no intention of attracting people from the Shura world to the Qinglong Kingdom. We just don't want to join any party. We have recruited some masters from the Shura world just to protect ourselves."
, If you don’t believe it, you can go investigate!”
I looked at this one-eyed guy and said, "Did you hear what she said? Before the matter is clarified, it's best not to label others as a traitor."
He looked at me and said: "You are a human, you should be from the Suzaku Kingdom. You are not at odds with the devil, so why are you speaking for the witch? It seems that your cultivation is not bad, and you are in the stage of transcending tribulation, but you are still not good enough."
It’s far away, so you’d better go back quickly, there’s the Valley of the Dead ahead, don’t rush in.”
I had a feeling that this ghost didn't seem like a bad person. I sighed and said, "What should I call you?"
He looked at me and said, "My name is Ying Qin!"
I nodded and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Xiao. I think you should investigate clearly before speaking."
Ying Qin sighed and said to me: "Who do you think I am? I just want to find out! So I arrested them first. After the investigation is clear, everyone will be gone."
I smiled and said: "If you want to investigate clearly, the best way is to go to the Demonic City to investigate, instead of arresting the two women first and then sending them to the king. You also know that the current situation is turbulent, and the Qinglong Kingdom
The foundation of our country has been lost, which is really sad."
