There is a looming mist everywhere in the forest. The moonlight shines into the forest through the gaps in the leaves, and it becomes mottled and broken.

San'er felt so strange. How could he be in such a strange forest? The strange sights around him made him suspicious. Although it was a midsummer night, there was no sound of insects in the forest. The surroundings looked like death. of silence.

It's not that San'er doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, it's that he is naturally courageous. Even though he was in such a weird and scary forest, he didn't appear panicked even though he was scared.

He looked at the forest. Although it didn't feel big, he had a very contradictory feeling. It also seemed to be endless. San'er calmed down for a while, looked up at the moon, judged the direction, and then hurriedly wanted to leave the forest.

But no matter how he walked, he just couldn't get out of the forest. Just when he was confused, he suddenly heard a faint voice floating over, seeming to be calling his name.

San'er was frightened. There was no one around, but the voice was definitely there.

He coughed dryly and bravely shouted: "Who are you? How do you know my name? What kind of place is this?"

Although the voice was light and airy, it seemed quite desolate; it seemed to be beside San'er, but it felt unsteady. When San'er was panicking, the voice sighed: "San'er, I am your aunt next to Jixiang Temple. Ah, San'er, you stepped on my hand."

San'er was startled and asked in horror: "Auntie, is it really you? You disappeared seven years ago. We had a hard time finding you. Auntie, where have you been? Why didn't you tell your family? .”

As San'er was talking, he suddenly thought of the voice saying that he had stepped on her hand. He couldn't help but feel his scalp explode because he also felt that he had stepped on something strange with his left foot. It felt so uncomfortable.

He was so frightened that he jumped away. When he turned around, he saw where he was standing just now. Sure enough, a hand had been stepped into the mud by himself.

The hand suddenly moved, and its fingers spread out. It seemed as if it was trying to grab the moon in the sky. San'er fearfully touched the pale hand stretched out from the mud. He felt wet in his vest. Although he was timid, But he was still so frightened by the terrifying scene before him that he broke out in cold sweat.

The hand went from the air to the ground again, scratching at something. In the blink of an eye, another hand stretched out from the mud. The two hands danced wildly in the air for a while, and began to dig at the soil desperately. Scratching.

After a while, a head covered with mud emerged from the mud. A head of withered and messy hair covered with mud and grass clippings covered the face of the head.

San'er screamed in fright, but he immediately felt that his scream had not come out at all.

At this time, the two hands stopped digging at the soil and wiped away the messy hair covering her face, revealing the face of an old woman with a terrible dryness.

That face grinned at San'er and said sinisterly: "San'er, I am your aunt. We haven't seen you for so many years. Don't you remember me?"

The old woman started to cry as she spoke. San'er was so frightened that his legs softened and he collapsed on the ground. He didn't dare to see the scene in front of him. But curiosity and fear forced him to involuntarily hold on to the scene. Stare at that person's head.

After a long time, San'er finally said in a trembling voice: "Auntie, is it really you? How could you be buried underground? What kind of place is this?"

The man said sadly: "San'er, you finally recognized me. It's been seven years. I've been staying in this place and suffered a lot. I'm in so much pain."

San'er bravely asked: "Auntie, are you dead? Could it be that you are a ghost now?"

Although San'er asked this question, he knew in his heart that this was too much. The head said miserably: "San'er, don't be afraid. Auntie has turned into a ghost a long time ago. But Auntie will not harm you. Auntie wants you to help.

I."

San'er shook the man's head in fear. The man's head slowly said: "San'er, you only know that I disappeared seven years ago. But you don't know that I was not missing, but was killed by others. Poor me. What do you think?

I am a lonely ghost. I don’t know who killed me. San’er. I have been imprisoned here. My soul cannot escape the control of the powerful spiritual power here. I have been tortured. San’er, you must find a way.

Take me home."

San'er asked fearfully: "Auntie, don't you even know who killed you?"

The head sobbed and said: "I really don't know. I just remember that the old man went out to drink and didn't come home late at night. I fell asleep in a daze. I vaguely felt that there was a Taoist-looking person who kept calling my name.

.I followed him involuntarily. When I walked to the door, I turned around unintentionally. It scared me to death. I saw that I was still lying on the table, sleeping."

"The Taoist priest led me into the woods. I don't know what spell he chanted. He burned a few more pieces of paper. I immediately felt that something invisible was weighing on me and I couldn't breathe. From then on, I was imprisoned here.

Seven years on the ground. In the past seven years, I have tried to escape from the underground many times. But the tall trees around me were like a giant sheet and like hands, holding me down and preventing me from coming out."

San'er was shocked and doubtful. She asked tremblingly: "Auntie, how did you get out of the ground today?"

Rentou smiled bitterly and said: "San'er. A few days ago, I don't know who came into the woods. I just felt that he seemed to have several Buddha bone relics on his body. That powerful power greatly reduced the negative power of the trees here.

Only then can I barely stretch out my hands and show my head."

San'er said with an 'ah': "Auntie, I just remembered that you said that when you left with the Taoist priest, your body was still lying on the table. Then we couldn't find you after that."

Rentou said miserably: "San'er. I didn't understand until later. My soul left my body first and was trapped in the ground. Later, I felt that the Taoist priest actually moved my body here and buried it under the tree here.

.The yin energy here is strong. My body has not rotted away yet."

Rentou started to cry again: "San'er, you are the only relative I have. As long as you take my body home from under the tree, my soul will go home with it. In this way, I can

Go to the underworld and be reincarnated as a human being. San'er, you must help me. Please."

San'er hesitated and said: "Auntie, where is this place? How can I find your body?"

The head whined and said: "San'er, aren't you very familiar with this place? Remember, my body is buried under a tree."

San'er was waiting to ask, but he saw the surrounding trees suddenly making whining sounds. A gust of wind blew in. One of the big trees looked like a big hand, and it suddenly fell down from the air, knocking San'er alive.
