The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 119 Don't cry without seeing the coffin

When Ma Di saw me, he also wanted to walk towards me, but just after taking half a step, his body swayed and he almost fell down.It looked as if both legs were useless.

I hurried over to help Liang Yue up, and asked the old stall owner: "Mr. Tan, what happened to them? Didn't they come back? Why can't their legs work?"

The old stall said: "They have been controlled for a long time, and the body's essence, blood and muscles need to recover. Don't worry, they can recover within three to five minutes of activities."

Liang Yue frowned and asked me: "Li Yang, what's going on? Where is this place?"

Ma Di was also puzzled, and recalled: "Didn't we enter Nanliu Village? Then there was fog... and then..."

I waved my hand: "Don't ask so many questions, hurry up and move your body. I will tell you slowly here, and I ask you, have you had any communication with my third uncle after the fog started?"

Liang Yue thought for a while and said: "At that time, I was following the old horse, and I heard your third uncle shouting, let us all follow, and don't get separated. But the fog is too thick, and I can't see it after running for a while. You are third uncle, so you can only follow closely behind the old horse. Later, the old horse stopped..."

Ma Di went on to say: "Yes, I stopped because the compass in my hand failed, and the pointer was spinning rapidly, but I couldn't stop."

I nodded: "In that case, the compass is simply unreliable. Then..."

"Later, when Lao Ma and I looked for your third uncle again, we couldn't see him. At this time, I felt dizzy, as if I saw a line of people passing by in front of me. I didn't know it. I just followed, and then I can't remember what happened..."

Lao Ma also nodded and said that it was similar to Liang Yue's situation.These are basically the same as I expected. It seems that the third uncle should be the same as the old horse at that time, but maybe the third uncle himself has some Taoism, and the soul-inducing banner failed to completely confuse the third uncle, so he and the old man Their situation is different.

Realizing that my mood was a little off, Ma Di asked, "It seems that you saved me and Liang Yue, why isn't your third uncle here?"

The old stall head pointed to the cliff: "He jumped off the cliff after him."

Ma Su and Liang Yue were both surprised and stared at me.I tried my best to control my emotions. This is not the time to be sad, and there is no final conclusion on how things will end.I picked the main part and briefly told Liang Yue and Ma Su what happened.

After listening to me, Ma Di shook his head like a rattle drum, and waved his hands again and again: "Li Yang, don't be ridiculous. If you say that others are in danger, I believe it. Your third uncle? Jumped from here? I would kill me I don't believe it. That stinking old man, ghost spirit, when the fog comes up, he probably knows what's going on, and he must have made preparations. Both of us are fine, he will be fine? I'll leave it alone, if he's fine , I write it backwards."

Liang Yue also said: "I also believe in Master Dong Bin, he will be fine with such high morals."

My heart was completely ashamed, but after listening to the two of them, hope rose again.

The old stall owner curled his lips and said: "I really don't cry when I see the coffin. Well, seeing is believing. In order to make you give up, I will take you down to pick up bones. Whether he is dead or alive, you will know when you get down there." .”

The old stall head lit the lantern, walked in front, and walked down an inconspicuous small fork next to the platform.

Ma Di was walking on the small road, and let me look at the road in a low voice. I found that the grass on the small fork road was rickety.Ma Su said: "See? The grass has been trampled, but it hasn't withered yet. It's obvious that someone stepped on it just now. If your third uncle really got to the top of this cliff, he must have come down from here again. This Old miscellaneous hair, scaring us like this, he is more attractive when we meet."

I was overjoyed, so the third uncle really had a great chance of being alive.

Unexpectedly, the old stall turned his head and said: "The banner holder also left from here. This grass should be broken by him. Your third uncle... It's still a bad luck."

This old man's words are really not pleasant to listen to. The little hope that I had just kindled was poured down by him again with a basin of cold water.

But he is our savior anyway, so I dare not question him for anything he says.

Liang Yue didn't care about that. After hearing what the old man said, he retorted: "I said, sir, can't you say something auspicious? Why can't you hear any good words from your mouth?"

The old stall head snorted: "I, the old stall head, just do this depressing job, and what I say is also depressing words. This is called good medicine, and it is easy to say auspicious words. When the time comes, don't be too happy to turn into sorrow."

I know that if I compare myself with this old stall, I might say something nasty.He is also straightforward, has his own judgment, and just says what comes to mind.

I signaled Liang Yue not to say any more, and followed the old stall all the way from the top of the cliff to the valley.

This path extending down the mountain is very steep, and in some places it even goes straight up and down at a ninety-degree slope.Fortunately, there was enough moonlight at this time, otherwise we would be unable to move even if we only relied on the illumination of the lanterns.

And the old stall was also very familiar with the path, and there were many forks in the middle of that small road, and the old stall made a judgment without thinking.This greatly shortened the time we had to reach the bottom of the cliff.

It took us more than an hour to get from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff.

The old stall looked up at the sky, and said: "It is less than two hours before dawn, and we will pass through the woods ahead, which is the bottom of the cliff. It is said that I have to wait three days after the cliff burial. I just came to pick the bones. Today I made an exception and went in first to have a look. If your third uncle is really inside, I can find him soon. I am also somewhat responsible for this. Give you an explanation."

I hurriedly said, "Master Tan, we'll go in with you."

The old stall head said righteously: "No. The place where the cliff is buried is a forbidden area in Nanliu Village. I have broken the taboo by bringing you here. You can't go there even more. It is a place where corpses are piled up twice a year. The Yin Qi is pouring down, the wind is howling all year round, and there are many mountain beasts and insects. I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of you if I go in. You wait for me here, and I will be back in less than an hour."

Saying that, the old stall owner wanted to pass the two transparent flags in my hand, and holding his bone-seeking lamp, he strode towards the woods. After a while, his voice of reciting formulas came from a distance: "Mountains, rocks, water, soil, Search for corpses and bones, ashes to ashes, earth to earth, Yin people to bury, Yang people to find their ancestors. Mountain spirits return to caves, insects to earth..."

It turns out that there is still a long section behind his formula, presumably because he was afraid that I would not be able to remember it, so he asked me to recite the first paragraph.

When reading to the end, the old stall's voice gradually weakened until it could no longer be heard.

I know that the old stall's words are not alarmist. At the bottom of the cliff, a large number of corpses jump from the top of the cliff every year.Although there are old stalls to pick bones to clean up, this kind of place is indeed not suitable for ordinary people to stay for a long time.
