"I won't tell you yet, but you will know when the time comes."
Ye Qing had a rare naughty look on her face, like a girl's. I was stunned for a moment, and my eyes couldn't help but stay on her face for a few more seconds. Ye Qing felt a little embarrassed by me and actually became shy.
"Ahem..."
I coughed lightly,
"Um... do you remember the way to town?"
"Remember…"
"Okay, we'll leave in a moment!"
A few minutes later, the door was pushed open. Aguo's eyes were red, but there was a satisfied smile on his face.
"Brother Lin Yu, grandma asked you to come in..."
Back in the house, I looked at the well water in the copper basin. At this time, Aguo Niang's face had become very pale. As long as it disappeared completely, she would go directly to the underworld...
"Do you have anything to explain?" I asked.
Although her face was very blurry, I could still see the melancholy on her face. She said with some embarrassment:
"Arch Mage, there is something I want to ask you..."
As soon as I heard her tone, I immediately guessed what she was talking about and said directly:
"If you want to stay in the earth forever, I'm afraid it won't work. You have stayed here for more than ten years, which violates the laws of the underworld. But I can write a petition for you and speak for you. But if you continue to stay,
, I can’t protect you with my ability.”
"No, Archmage, you only need to give me three days. Although the clan leader and the ghost are dead, other people in the village will not let Aguo go so easily, so I have to stay and understand the matter thoroughly.
, it only takes three days, and I will go to the underworld to settle the accounts after three days!"
It was only after she reminded me that I realized that, indeed, although the clan leader and the birth ghost were dead, Aguo was not completely out of danger, and I was an outsider, so I was not convinced at all on this matter. It was difficult.
Help.
I hesitated for a moment and then muttered:
"Okay, just three days. After three days, you have to go to the underworld to cancel the accounts. Also, don't use extreme methods, otherwise you will only add more evil to yourself... By the way, remember to find a way to dispose of the clan leader's body.
.”
After saying that, I took out a magic talisman and touched it lightly on the well water. A black pattern was immediately left on the talisman. This is the mark of Aguo Niang. With this mark, I can find her at any time and arrest her.
The soul comes over.
"Thank you, Brother Lin Yu..."
Aguo looked at me gratefully, I smiled, wrote down my mobile phone number on the paper, and said:
"If one day you can walk out of the mountains, remember to come to Jiangcheng to find me!"
"Um…"
Aguo nodded obediently.
I gently touched her head, then put on my backpack and turned around to leave.
"Do you believe that female ghost?"
While walking on the road, Ye Qing's voice came from his backpack.
"Although Aguo has been bullied for so many years, and Aguo's mother is also resentful, I believe that Aguo's mother will not do anything extreme. After all, Aguo will have to live alone in the village in the future. She will not
It may cut off my daughter's livelihood..."
After waiting for a long time, he still didn't get Ye Qing's response.
"Why don't you speak?"
"It's nothing, I just remembered my life experience and felt a little emotional for a while..."
I was stunned. Ye Qing was a woman from the Republic of China. Looking at her like this, she seemed to have a sad past. Out of curiosity, I was about to ask, but she interrupted me.
"I saw you just wrapped a wooden box with red cloth soaked in French water. What is that?"
"It was found in the cemetery in Quzhai. There seemed to be some evil weapon hidden inside. But I don't know why my chest hurt so much as soon as I got close to the wooden box, so I wrapped it in red cloth and took it back to show the master.
Let’s see.”
Ye Qing didn't ask any more questions, but got out of the gloomy wooden box to guide me. When I left Aguo's house, I brought enough dry food and water, so I no longer worried about lack of water and food, and I felt very confident...
After nearly a day of long journey, we finally walked out of Shiwanda Mountain and arrived at the small town closest to the mountain with all our tiredness, which is the town that Ye Qing mentioned before.
Although it is a town, in my opinion it is not much bigger than Quzhai. The whole town only has two main streets, north and south. You can see from the east to the west at a glance. After all, it is still remote, which is understandable.
The houses on both sides of North Street are all blue bricks and stone tiles, and the streets are also paved with bluestones. It is bumpy and very narrow. Because of the humid air, the color of the blue bricks and bluestones is very dark, as if they had just been washed by rain.
I stood on the North Street of the town, looking at the deep blue in front of me, and frowning tightly. It should be about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, but there was no one on the street, and it was lifeless.
…
In sharp contrast, the streets are full of paper money blown by the wind, and almost all of the tile-roofed houses on both sides have a white paper lantern hanging in front of them, and the lantern is whirring.
It was swaying under the blowing mountain wind, which looked very eerie and uncomfortable.
It's like I've arrived in the underworld...
I suddenly felt a little cold and couldn't help but ask:
"Ye Qing, are you sure you're not leading the wrong way? Are you sure this is a village where the living live, not a righteous village where the dead lie?"
Ye Qing smiled meaningfully,
"You come with me here..."
After saying that, she floated towards a small alley, and I quickly followed her. Through a narrow and deep alley, we came to South Street. When I raised my eyes, I was stunned.
"How...how could this happen..."
I murmured in shock.
I saw that South Street was the same as North Street. There was no one on the bluestone road. There was also a lantern hanging in front of the tile-roofed houses on both sides of the street. But the strange thing was that the lanterns on South Street were all red...
Not only that, the windows of the tile-roofed houses are also tied with a dazzling red silk.
This scene deeply stimulated my eyes, and I couldn't help shuddering. There are two streets in the north and south, one is White Street, the other is Red Street...
A horrifying word suddenly entered my mind, but I immediately shook my head and said to myself:
"impossible…"
Thinking of this, I turned around and asked Ye Qing,
"What the hell is going on here?"
Unexpectedly, Ye Qing also shook his head,
"I don't know. It wasn't like this when I came here last time, but it suddenly became like this when I came back a few days ago. Let's not talk about this for now. I will take you to meet that old acquaintance!"
After hearing what she said, I remembered that there was such a thing, so I urged her to leave quickly.
We walked along Red Street all the way deeper into the street, and didn't stop until we came to the door of a two-story brick house with a red lantern hanging on the door.
Ye Qing winked at me and then got into the gloomy wooden box.
I calmed down a little and gently knocked on the door.
"When... when... when..."
"Coming, coming..."
A strange and hoarse voice came from the house, and at the same time I remembered the sound of slow footsteps. After a few seconds, the door was slowly opened...
