Four hundred and ninetieth chapters replace fifty-three
Fang Yi whispered in Mu Jianping's ear again: "Ask him what method he used to charm Brother Liu."
Seeing Fang Yi's curious face, Fang Yu finally said quietly to Mu Jianping: "When I was urinating, I turned my back, grabbed a handful of sweat medicine in my left hand, turned back to turn over the pancake, and the pancake was naturally coated with medicinal powder.
The piece of bread I ate was only held with my right hand and my right hand was not touched at all. Do you understand this?"
Mu Jianping said: "That's it."
After passing the message, Fang Yi asked again: "Where did you get the Mongolian sweat medicine?"
Fang Yu said: "The palace guards gave it to you and used these medicinal powders to save you, Senior Brother Liu."
At this time, the rain was pouring down, and there was a loud crash on the roof of the house. Fang Yu's lips touched Mu Jianping's ear, and what he said could only be heard. Liu Yizhou was anxious, and stood up in a hurry, leaning his back heavily on the pillar.
Shit, suddenly there were a few clicks and a few tiles fell from the top of my head.
This dilapidated temple has long been in decay. It was soaked by heavy rain and blown by the north wind, and it could no longer hold up. The rafters, tiles, and bricks fell one after another.
Xu Tianchuan shouted: "No, this temple is going to collapse. Everyone, get out quickly."
The seven people ran out of the temple. After walking a few steps, they heard a loud rumble and a large piece of the temple roof collapsed, followed by half of the wall.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and more than ten horses galloped from the southeast. They rushed nearby in a moment, and there were shadows in the darkness, and there were people riding on the horses.
An old voice said: "Ah, there used to be a small temple here to take shelter from the rain, but it fell down again."
Another person asked loudly: "Hey, fellow villagers, what are you doing here?"
Xu Tianchuan said: "We were taking shelter from the rain in the temple, but the temple collapsed temporarily and almost crushed us to death."
Immediately one person cursed: "Damn it, it rained so heavily, God is not crazy."
Another person said: "Zhao Laosan, except for this small temple, there is not a single house nearby? Is there a cave or something?"
The old voice said: "Yes... Yes, there is, but it's the same as nothing."
A man cursed: "Do you have your grandma's or not?"
The old man said: "To the northwest from here, there is a haunted house in the mountain col. There are evil spirits. No one dares to go there. Isn't that the same as nothing?"
Immediately everyone laughed and cursed loudly: "I'm not afraid of haunted houses. It's better if there are no evil ghosts. I can catch them as snacks."
Someone else shouted: "Hurry up and lead the way! It's not like taking a bath, but soaking in the heavy rain, don't you think it feels good?"
Zhao Laosan said: "Gentlemen, I don't mind that I have a long life, but I don't dare to go. I advise you not to go either. There is a town thirty miles to the north from here."
Immediately everyone said: "How can such a heavy rain last for more than thirty miles? Stop being wordy, there are so many of us, what are we afraid of?"
Zhao Laosan said: "Okay, let's go northwest, turn a corner, and follow the mountain road into the col. There is only one way, you can't go wrong..."
Before he could finish speaking, everyone galloped towards the northwest. Zhao Laosan was riding a donkey. After a slight hesitation, he pulled the donkey's head and turned back to the southeast.
Xu Tianchuan said: "Brother Ang, Lord Wei Xiang, what should we do?"
Wu Lishen said: "I think..." Then he remembered that Fang Yu should give the idea, and then said: "Please tell me from Master Wei Xiang, what should we do?"
Fang Yu was afraid of ghosts, but he couldn't say anything, so he said, "Uncle Wu, I don't have any ideas."
Wu Lishen said: "Evil ghosts are just country people's nonsense. Even if there really is a ghost, we will give it a try."
Fang Yu said: "Some ghosts are invisible. By the time you see them, it's already too late." The implication is that he is obviously afraid of ghosts.
Liu Yizhou said loudly: "What monsters are you afraid of? If you stay wet in the rain for another half an hour, everyone will definitely get sick."
Seeing that Mu Jian couldn't help but tremble, Fang Yu found it difficult to support him, and he didn't want to show weakness in front of Fang Yi and lose to Liu Yizhou, so he said: "Okay, let's go now! If you see an evil ghost, be careful!"
"
The seven people followed what Zhao Laosan said and walked northwest into the mountain col. They could not find a road in the darkness, but they saw a small waterfall rushing down in the white forest.
Fang Yu said: "If you can't find a way, it's called 'ghost beating the wall'. It's an evil ghost trying to charm you."
Xu Tianchuan said: "This waterfall is the road."
He walked uphill along the waterfall. The others followed him up the hillside. Hearing the sound of horses neighing in the trees on the left, he knew that the dozen or so men on horseback were over there.
Xu Tianchuan thought to himself: "I don't know where these people come from."
But thinking that he and Wu Lishen would join forces, there were dozens of ordinary martial arts masters who didn't care. They immediately stepped on the water to find a way, walking towards the forest with one foot high and one foot low.
As soon as they arrived in the forest, it got even darker, and they could only hear knocking on the door in front of them. Sure enough, there was a house. Fang Yu was surprised and happy, and suddenly he felt someone reaching out and taking his hand. The palm was soft, followed by someone's soft voice in his ear.
Said: "Don't be afraid!" It was Fang Yi.
However, they heard constant knocking on the door, but no door was opened at the end. When the seven of them walked closer, they saw a large dark room.
A group of riders shouted loudly: "Open the door, open the door! They are here to take shelter from the rain!"
After calling for a long time, there was no movement in the house.
One person said: "No one lives here!"
Another person said: "Zhao Laosan said it was a haunted house. Who dares to live in it? Just jump into the wall!"
White light flashed, the two men drew their weapons, jumped into the wall, opened the door, and everyone rushed in.
Xu Tianchuan thought to himself: "These people are from the martial arts world. It seems that their martial arts skills are very high."
Seven people followed him in.
There is a large patio inside the gate, and then there is a hall. Someone took out the oil bag from beside him, untied it, took out the knife and flint, and started a fire. When he saw a candle on the table in the hall, he lit it.
There was a sudden light in front of everyone's eyes, and they were all delighted to see that the hall was furnished with rosewood tables, chairs and flowers, which looked like a family's style.
Xu Tianchuan muttered in his heart: "There is no dust on the tables and chairs. The underground is so clean. How can there be no one in the house?"
I heard a man say: "This hall is clean and there are people living in the house."
Another person shouted: "Hey, hey, is there anyone in the house? Is there anyone in the house?"
The hall was high and big. He shouted loudly, but there was a faint echo. When the echo stopped, there was no other sound except the sound of heavy rain. Everyone looked at each other, feeling quite strange.
A white-haired man asked Xu Tianchuan: "Are you all friends in the world?"
Xu Tianchuan said: "My surname is Xu. Some of these people are family members and some are relatives. They are going to Shanxi to visit relatives. I don't want to encounter this heavy rain. What is your surname?"
The old man nodded. Seeing that there were an old man, a child, and a woman among the seven of them, he was not suspicious, but did not answer his question and said, "This house is a bit weird."
Another man shouted: "Is there anyone in the house? Are everyone dead?" After a moment of pause, there was still no answer.
The old man sat on the chair, pointed at the six people and said: "You six, go to the back and take a look!"
The six men drew their swords in their hands and walked back. The six men bowed their waists slightly, walked very slowly, and looked quite wary. They heard the sound of kicking the door, and the shouts and questions kept coming. There was nothing unusual, and the voices became louder and louder. The farther you go, the house is so huge that you can't reach the end once you enter.
The old man pointed to the other four people and said, "Find some firewood to light a few torches and follow us to have a look." The four people followed the order and left.
Fang Yu and other seven people were sitting on the threshold of the long window in the hall, and no one spoke. Xu Tianchuan saw ten people in the group walking towards the back, and there were eight people in the hall, all wearing cloth robes. Look at their appearance. They seemed to be members of some kind of gang, and they seemed to be the escorts of the escort agency, but there was no escort, so I couldn't figure out their way for a while.
Fang Yu couldn't help but said: "Sister, do you think there is a ghost in this house?"
Before Fang Yi could answer, Liu Yizhou rushed to speak: "Of course there are ghosts! Where have no people died? Wherever people have died, there will be ghosts."
Fang Yu shuddered and shrank.
Liu Yizhou said: "Evil ghosts in the world bully good and fear evil, and they only care about bewitching children. If adults are strong in yang energy, they will not dare to offend adults even if they are hanged ghosts or big-headed ghosts."
Fang Yi reached out from under her clothes, held Fang Yu's left hand, and said, "People are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are even more afraid of people. As soon as there is light of fire, the ghosts will run away."
Just hearing the sound of footsteps, the six men who had gone to the back to check first came back to the hall, with very strange expressions on their faces, and they said in a flurry of words: "There is no one there, but everything is clean."
"There are quilts on the bed, and there are shoes under the bed. They all belong to women."
"The closet is full of women's clothes, but there are no men's clothes at all!"
Liu Yizhou shouted loudly: "Female ghost! The whole room is full of female ghosts!"
Everyone turned to look at him, and for a moment, no one said anything.
Suddenly, he heard strange shouts from the four people behind him. The old man jumped up and was about to rush to the back to meet him. The four people had already rushed into the hall, extinguished the torches in their hands, and shouted: "Dead people, there are so many dead people!" His face was full of panic.
The old man said solemnly: "What's all this fuss about? I thought we met an enemy. What's so scary about the dead?"
A man said: "It's not scary, it's... it's weird."
The old man said: "What's so weird?"
Another man said: "The room on the east side is... a mourning hall for the dead. I don't know how many there are in total."
The old man pondered: "Are there any dead people and coffins?"
The two men looked at each other and said in unison: "No... I didn't see clearly. It seems like there isn't one."
The old man said: "Light a few more torches and let's take a look. Maybe it's an ancestral hall. It's very ordinary."
Although he spoke in an understatement, his tone also seemed very hesitant, as if he knew that the ancestral hall was not like this. All his men dismantled tables and chairs in the hall, lit them into torches, and rushed to the backyard.
Xu Tianchuan said: "I'm going to take a look. Everyone, please stay here." He followed the others and walked in.
Ao Biao asked: "Master, what kind of path are these people on?"
Wu Lishen shook his head and said: "I can't tell. The accent seems to be from Ludong, Guandong area. They don't look like Liumen Eagle Claw. Could it be a private lord? But I don't see any goods."
Liu Yizhou said: "That group of people is not a big deal, but the large number of female ghosts in this house are really powerful!" He stuck out his tongue to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu shuddered and held Fang Yi's hand tightly, his palms filled with cold sweat.
Mu Jianping said in a trembling voice: "Liu...Senior Brother Liu, don't always scare people, okay?"
Liu Yizhou said: "Little princess, you don't have to worry. You are a golden person. Any evil ghost will stay away from you and dare not invade you. What evil ghosts hate most are eunuchs who are neither men nor women."
Fang Yi's eyebrows furrowed and her face looked angry. She was about to speak, but held back.
