After noon, Master Shen went to the courtyard, looked cautious, and asked with a smile: "Master Tang, I don't know how things are progressing?" Tang Zhou looked at him and said in deep thought, "There is progress, but..."

Master Shen immediately said sternly: "Just what?"

Tang Zhou knew that he had already felt a little clue, but he felt like he was always led away. He couldn't always observe in secret, and the guesses he got, no matter how rounded they were, they were still guesses. "I felt that the grievances in the southwest corner were the heaviest, so I followed the past, and found that there were bones under the haystack, which were buried very shallowly. It seemed that they hadn't been buried for a long time." He slowly said, seeing the other person's His face changed drastically, his lips murmured, and he stopped talking.

Tang Zhou smiled slightly: "Naturally, I'm just a celestial master, not a quick hunter, and I don't want to pursue what is going on. But Master Shen, you don't want to be accompanied by a resentful spirit?"

Master Shen's face was pale, and it took a long time to say: "This matter actually starts with the old man's wife. The old man's wife is from the Yi ethnic group. According to the custom over there, people are buried after they die." /

When Tang Zhou heard him speak, it was irrelevant, even more inexplicable, but he still listened patiently. Yan Dan had already turned around and went back to the guest room, but he turned back when he said this. I only heard Master Shen continue to say: "The Zhuojing family has a certain status among the Yi people. Many of the Yi people with status are familiar with witchcraft. When she first married into the Shen family, she told me that she was the only one in the family who knew no witchcraft. People of Gu art, so the elders in the family did not oppose me to marry her to get started."

"After Zhuo Jing got married into the Shen family, he was homesick, so I planned to move to the Yi people. There, I saw a bone burial. At that time, the patriarch had just passed away, and his children and grandchildren His body was buried directly in the ground behind the house, only a shallow pit was dug, and it was poured on the soil with boiling water every day. It was the first time I saw it. It was horrified and inexplicable, and we in the Central Plains would definitely buy a thick wooden coffin and then enter the soil. ."

The more inexplicable Tang and Zhou heard it, he could only say: "Most Han and Yi customs are very different."

"Pour some boiling water every day. After two or three months, the corpse will rot. After the boiling water is poured, the bones and flesh will separate. The Yi people dug up the pit where the corpse was buried, took out the bones, and used a jar. They were buried on the mountain. It is said that the bones left by the Yi people who raise witch Gu also contain gu worms. This method prevents the Gu from running out." Master Shen sighed, "Such a scene, as long as you I’ve seen it once, and I won’t forget it. Later Zhuojing passed away, and I brought my little girl to Qingshi Town. At that time, Yijun was already sensible and began to take care of the family. I saw her so capable, so I went out for business with confidence Up."

Yan Dan suddenly asked: "How many years have you moved here?"

"It has been seven or eight years, and Yijun and Xiangjun are 24 years old this year, but unfortunately they have not found a good family to marry." He paused, then continued, "One time I went to Southern Capital for business. , I went home almost three months later. After I came back, I felt that Yijun and the day are a little different. The two have seen her smile today, it seems a bit weird. I feel uneasy and I don’t sleep at night. Practically, I went to the accounting room in the middle of the night and wanted to read the unfinished accounts. When I walked through the courtyard, I saw Yijun bury something there with a flower hoe. I thought I didn’t see it. The more disturbed, the accounts couldn’t be seen, so I went back to the courtyard and opened up the soil where she buried her things. As a result—" Master Shen suddenly covered his face with his hands, and was very painful: "I saw one A corpse. The dead body of the corpse is ugly. The flesh and blood on the body have been dried up, as if the whole body's blood has been drained. The face is purple, the eyes are round, the flesh is almost close to the bones... I understood at the time. Zhuo Jing once said that he didn't understand the witchcraft art, it was a lie to me. Yijun, she would behave like these evil ways!

Yan Dan thoughtfully: "That is to say, the reason why the bone we found in the haystack was buried so shallowly, just waiting for it to rot so much that only bones were left, and then bury it again with bone picking?"

Master Shen nodded silently, and then continued for a long time: "After that, people in Qingshi Town began to die strangely and violently. Everyone said it was the evil ghost of the empress who was harming people. But I know that's not the case. They are all... I have been drained by the vicious Witch Gu technique. I know it in my heart, but Yijun is my daughter after all, so naturally I can’t talk and ask more. Just because there are too many people who died tragically for no reason, I still feel uneasy in my heart. I found someone to exorcise evil spirits and invited many people, many of them were famous celestial masters, and most of them left without saying goodbye. I guess many of them are already buried in the ground."

Tang Zhou gave a light cough and said lightly: "Master Shen, you are just guessing about this, and there is no real evidence. Please be at ease, I will not say it."

Master Shen buried his face in his hands and nodded: "Thank you Tang Gongzi."

Yan Dan watched his back disappear, supporting it with one hand: "This story sounds interesting."

Tang Zhou squinted at her: "You don't believe it?"

Yan Dan turned his head and smiled slightly and said: "I know that the Yi people do collect bones, but this witchcraft technique is too mysterious. So I will believe half of it for the time being."

Tang Zhou said coldly: "I don't believe a word."

Yan Dan was surprised: "Really, I think some of his words are true. For example, he said that his wife is from the Yi ethnic group. I think he must have been in the southwest for quite a while, otherwise I would not know The bones were collected and buried. He said that the people in Qingshi Town died bizarrely. They were not the ghosts of the empress. I believe that. Miss Shen Jia is from the Yi ethnic group, and it should be true."

"Besides these, none of the important things can be assured."

Yan Dan smiled very flatteringly: "You are helping Miss Shen, in fact, I don't mind having another sister-in-law."

Tang Zhou looked at her for a while, with no expression on his face: "In fact, I have always felt that it is a pity that you haven't blocked all your demon powers. Now it seems that you think so too."

How much is true of what Mr. Shen said? What is his purpose for saying this? Are there more unknown stories in this sinking house?

I'm afraid, it's hard to understand for a while.

Tang Zhou felt that everything in front of him was like a mist. When he made a little progress, things would move in a more confusing direction. And Yan Dan seems to have completely ignored these. Whenever he is free, he sits by the lotus pond and feeds the fish, often staying by the pond for half a day. He sometimes wondered if Yan Dan was really able to understand the language of fish as she said. As soon as this idea came out, it was immediately rejected. Yan Dan still had restrictions on him, he couldn't leave the Shen Mansion every step of the way, and even the demon method was restrained, there was no way to pretend to be a ghost. Before, he didn't pay attention to the little demon technique of this lotus spirit, and now it is far from him. It's just that he also has to admit that Yan Dan sometimes sees things with unique insights, and when he speaks it seems true and false, he can't believe it completely but he can't believe it at all.

Some of the monsters are cunning and simple, but generally speaking, they are not familiar with the world. However, Yan Dan is very familiar with mortal people. She inquired about his experience of mentoring, and she wanted to find his weakness. In the cemetery, she initially expected that the mechanism of the Broken Dragon Stone would be opened, but deliberately kept silent until they were trapped, and did not come to negotiate terms with him. Yan Dan didn't directly ask him to let him go, but asked about his companion's whereabouts, which was also a very smart choice. He will not refuse this request, and there is no need to refuse it. After all, after making an exception, it is inevitable that he will be softened in the future, so he makes another exception. What's more, when she asked this, she seemed even more informed and compassionate, making him slowly stop guarding.

Tang Zhou couldn't help sighing. In any case, he is indeed less hostile to her now.

Walking on, he actually walked to the East Chamber that night. In front of the guest room, Ling Xuzi was sitting on the steps with a crumpled piece of paper on his lap, watching attentively. In this situation, he didn't seem to be horrified. Tang Zhou walked two steps closer and saw that the other party's hand holding the piece of paper shook slightly. There were blue veins floating on the back of his hand, but he did not raise his head, and stared at the words on the paper blankly.

When Tang Zhou saw his small movements, he felt a little more sure. He didn't think about it, but now that he thinks about it, he realizes that there is something wrong with it. After all, Ling Xuzi could be regarded as a master of a generation, and his experience and knowledge were much higher than his own. He could escape safely from the ancient tomb, but how could Ling Xuzi pretend to be mad and wait for an opportunity to escape? After all, no one is too wary of a madman. When he walked closer, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the top four characters on the rice paper: Qi Yao Shen Jade from the corner of his eyes. He felt inexplicably that there should be some connection between this and what he had been looking for for a long time.

I saw Ling Xuzi suddenly jumped up, beat his chest and feet, crumpled the piece of rice paper in his hand into a ball, and desperately stuffed it into his mouth. Tang Zhou took a step forward, then stopped again, and looked at each other quietly: "Senior, why do you need to put it on anymore?" There may be everything he wants to know on that rice paper, but he wants to rely on his own. Skills slowly found out.

Ling Xuzi looked at him with a smile, and kept saying: "Why do you want to pretend? I think how long you can pretend?" After that, he cried and laughed again.

"You are so old, you still cry and make a lot of noise, not ashamed?" Hearing only a clear voice, Shen Xiangjun touched the parrot on his shoulder, and grinned. She pulled Tang Zhou's sleeves, raised her head and smiled purely: "I know you will not bully him, he must bully you, and he will rely on you."

Tang Zhou looked at her bright and pure eyes with a faint pity in his heart. In this sinking house, I am afraid that only she is innocent. He smiled slightly and said softly: "How do you know?"

Shen Xiangjun turned his head and thought for a while, then looked at him: "Sister said that this man is crazy, and I am stupid, and they happen to be a couple. Only you will not call me stupid, you are a good person. "

Tang Zhou raised his hand and pressed it on her shoulder, with a gentle voice: "Why are you stupid?"

Shen Xiangjun tilted his head and put his cheeks close to the back of his hand: "Can you accompany me to the backyard? It is a good place. Not many people know, you will find it novel."

It was an abandoned well. The edge of the well was covered with moss. The mouth of the well was very narrow, just enough to fit two people. The water level was already very low, and a turquoise green could be seen below.

Shen Xiangjun lay down by the well, poking his head down: "Daddy said, from this well we can see past and present lives. Only me and Daddy know this, not even my sister."

Tang Zhou stood on one side with his hands held down, disapproving in his heart. I saw Shen Xiangjun suddenly turning around and gently pulling his sleeves: "You come and see too." Tang Zhou laughed, and had to walk to the well, and saw the deep water in the well, which seemed to be cold. The figure of him and Shen Xiangjun standing side by side was reflected in the water, slightly distorted.

"Have you seen it? My previous life was a bird with a gray feather and a sharp beak, so I can understand what the bird says now." Shen Xiangjun smiled and said, "Sometimes, you look from the well, The figure in the water smiles at you, but you don’t. This is auspicious sign."

Tang Zhou glanced at her, only to see that her eyes were crystal clear, and there was a slight ripple. He lowered his head and looked down the well, and saw that the water wave moved slightly. The figure standing next to Shen Xiangjun in the water suddenly changed, and a bright red color slowly flowed down from the corner of his eyes, but the look of that figure remained unchanged. Tang Zhou paused. Could that figure be a sign of his future?

In his opinion, these are just nonsense.

He closed his eyes and looked down again, but he didn't see the sight of Shiizai again. Could it be that what you saw just now was just his illusion?

Suddenly heard the slight sound of footsteps behind him, he turned his head and saw Yan Dan's breath undecided, standing seven or eight steps away from them. She took a sigh of relief, her eyes full of brilliance, and a smile: "It's such a coincidence, I also walked casually, but as a result, I walked together with you."

When she spoke, she looked sincere and didn't hesitate. Tang Zhou knew that she was talking nonsense without even thinking about it. Let alone how she would go to the remote backyard for no reason, there was a problem with the coincidence that happened with them.

Yan Dan raised his hand and touched the green silk on his dangling shoulders, then raised his wrist: "Brother, are you worried that I will run into a ghost? You see, I have brought the evil tokens you gave me, no There will be something."

Tang Zhou nodded, "It's okay." The first thing this token of evil spirit exorcised was the evil spirit of this lotus essence. However, she is now carrying this restriction, even a little water wave can't be stirred up, he won't take it to heart at all. He tentatively asked: "Do you have a time when you are making mistakes?"

Yan Dan smiled proudly: "I always rely on my own truth to learn, how can I have an illusion?"

When I returned to the guest room, the sky was already dark. Tang Zhou spent dinner, thinking about what he saw and heard today, and found it even more incredible. Shen Xiangjun said that only she and Master Shen knew about this well, not even Shen Yijun; and after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that the **** figure in the corner of the eye he saw in the well was not an illusion. There must be something in it. He tidied up, put a dagger and fire fold in his sleeve, and turned back to the waste well in the backyard alone.

The night is deep tonight, most of the arc moon is covered by dark clouds, and the stars are sparse and dim.

Tang Zhouhuang brightened the fire, raised his hand to support on the edge of the well, and leaned forward. With the fire, everything in front of me is even clearer. He vaguely saw a white, dry face in the water, his eyes wide open, very terrible. Tang Zhou Yi was stunned and suddenly heard a clear sound of clicking, and the edge of the well suddenly collapsed. He had no support and fell into the water with a plop.

He is not good at watering. After falling into the water, he drank several sips of cold water, quickly stopped his breath, and slowly dived up against the well wall. The water in the well was icy cold, and it seemed to be cold. Now is the day when the weather is getting warmer. Soaking in the water feels bad.

Tang Zhou poked his head out of the water, just to face a pale, dry and wrinkled face. No matter how calm he was, he couldn't help being taken aback. He just reached out and touched the dagger in his sleeve, suddenly felt cold on his wrist, and the Buddha was caught by an iron ring. The shriveled and wrinkled cheek suddenly twitched, and in the blink of an eye, it was already pressed in front of him, his pale lips moved, and he spit out: "It's Wu Gu...Go, go!"
