"This..." Liu Wensan frowned before saying.
"Sixteen doesn't have much skills after all. Let him go to Liulinzi alone, just in case he encounters something..."
Mrs. He lowered her head and drooped her eyelids.
"I gave him the Guillotine Blade. After all, he is the grandson of Mr. Yin Shu. At least he will be with you for a long time."
"If he can't even get into Liulinzi, he should wash his hands in the golden basin as soon as possible and go to the city to ask for a wife to have a baby. Not to mention that he has to save Liu Yinpo and the bodies of his father and grandfather."
"Raising a wolf mastiff requires hundreds of mastiffs to fight. Ten out of a hundred will be buried in the graves, and only one will be left among the fierce corpses. He has the ability but not the skills. Even if he is lucky enough not to die at the hands of a sneaky person, he will only be killed by someone. Detention drives his life, I am not harming him, but helping him.”
Liu Wensan was about to speak, but He Caier stopped him and nodded slightly at me.
In fact, He Cai'er also had worries in her eyes, but it was more of encouragement.
I took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Wen, you don't have to worry about me. I understand what Goddess He said." After saying that, I went to the door of the hall to get the ghost knife.
The knife was placed under the threshold, and it felt cold in hand, much colder than Liu Wensan's knife.
The blade is about sixty centimeters long, with a pointed head, a narrow tail, and a wide blade. It is somewhat like a smaller version of the machete used by an executioner to behead people. The blade was polished to a shiny finish, and the sharp edge made people faintly sweat.
There is a hole in the back of the knife, which is covered with a calming rope, and there is even a copper bell tied to it.
But as I picked it up, the bell didn't ring.
"The ghost sword binds the frightening bell. The bell will ring only when the haunting guest comes out. You can take care of the rest by yourself."
"Cai'er, I want to hug my eldest grandson and bring Ku'er into the house." Mrs. He stood up and walked toward the room with her little feet.
I took a long breath, tied the guillotine sword around my waist, and walked straight out of the courtyard.
Liu Wensan didn't have a mother-in-law at this time, so he just said bitterly: "Sixteen, if you encounter any messy and dirty things, just hit it on the head! Just think of it as cleaning up Liuhe Village. I will call the village chief later to clean it up." You have roasted three animals, so celebrate!"
After leaving the yard, the sun was even more dazzling.
I took out my phone and looked at the time. It was almost half past ten.
But I didn't underestimate Liu Linzi at all, especially since Mrs. He just said that Liu Linzi is cloudy and you will definitely see ghosts at noon.
After thinking about it for a moment, why didn't she let me go before noon?
I'm afraid this is also a test for me.
If I don't even have this ability, how am I qualified to learn from her and let her teach me how to make a mourning stick?
It's really not as good as what she said, go to the city as soon as possible and live an ignoble existence.
Of course, I couldn't back down.
There are many villagers on the village road, and there are also many women at the entrance of the courtyard. While working, they are chatting with the neighbors next to them, and they call me from time to time.
The harmony in Liuhe Village and the evil people in Xiaoliu Village are really two extremes.
After a while, I walked to the end of the new village and the old locust tree at the entrance of the old village.
Li Ergen was repairing the threshold at the door. When he saw me, he ran over and pulled me into his house for lunch.
Behind the courtyard door, there was a little girl hiding, looking at me.
Isn't this girl adopted by Li Ergen, Liu Zhi's daughter?
I declined, saying I still had to take care of things.
Li Ergen felt a little unnatural and asked me why I wanted to enter the old village. Things are not going well at the back of this old village. Liu Wensan’s mother-in-law lives there. She is a witch with very strange spirits and a bad temper.
I couldn't help laughing. Li Ergen didn't know that Mrs. He was already at Liu Wensan's house.
Of course, I still said casually that Mrs. He was actually quite nice. She just asked me to cut down a tree in the willow forest. It was no big deal.
Li Ergen's forehead was covered with white hair and sweat. He hesitated and said, "Luo Yinpo, don't think I talk too much. There are more evil spirits in the willow forest. There is a nest of white raccoons. I chased a wild rabbit a few years ago. I went in and almost didn’t come out.”
"There are still a lot of dead people there... I think you'd better not go there. They're all full of willow trees. Tell me how big and tall you want to cut them. There are a lot of them next to the willows and reeds." Hearing this , my eyelids twitched slightly.
These three words "Bai Li Zi" gave me goosebumps all over my body and a cold sweat on my spine.
I have a particularly deep memory of facing Bai Lizi twice.
One time I took care of the little lizard, and the second time I was almost disemboweled by the old and young white lizards in the Feng family cemetery. Fortunately, Feng Bao was with me at that time, otherwise I would have died long ago. Feng Family Cemetery.
"Li Ergen, thank you for your advice. The tree I want is only available in Liulinzi. Try not to go out and stay in the courtyard."
"Liuhe Village has been uneasy these days."
I didn’t say much and went straight into the old village.
Walking through those shabby mud houses and quiet village roads during the day, you can see many cracks in the ground, and most of the yards are overgrown with weeds.
When we arrived at the yard of He Shenpo's house, the chopped mulberry trees gave off a cool and shadowy atmosphere.
I walked around the yard and saw that Mrs. He Shen's house actually had a backyard...
It was just what was in the backyard that scared me.
A shed was built on top of an old wooden shelf. The shed was used to keep out the rain. Inside the wooden shelf was an urn with water.
At a glance, there must be at least twenty or thirty.
On top of the open space were piles of paper-made houses, paper-made people, and some wreaths.
The most important thing is that there is an old poplar tree.
After the wind blows, it makes a crackling sound.
It's too quiet here, so it sounds like people clapping their hands... If it's night, the sound will be clearer and more empty, so it's called ghost clapping.
My forehead was sweating. There were poplar trees in the backyard. Sure enough, Goddess He had violated all the taboos in Feng Shui.
Likewise, I feel a little sad for the Goddess profession.
They didn't know anything, but just to train themselves, they planted so many ghost trees, but the number of disciples was reduced and their bloodline withered.
I touched the handle of the guillotine sword and regained my composure.
The exit of the backyard is facing a willow forest.
This willow forest is not small, and I don’t know if it is here, or if it was the willow trees planted by Goddess He when she moved here.
At least one person has to hug the trees in the outer circle.
There are some big trees inside and many small trees.
Li Ergen said there was a white raccoon dog here, which made me even more wary. This thing is more sinister than sneaky.
Holding the hilt of the guillotine knife, I entered the willow forest.
The sun was still bright and warm outside, but as soon as I walked in, I felt a chill all over my body.
The sun cannot penetrate this willow forest at all. Not only is the light dark inside, it is also surprisingly cold, as if the coldness comes from the bottom of my heart.
I couldn't see very far at a glance, and the willow forest was too big, so I really couldn't find the lightning strike tree right away.
After taking a few steps forward, I suddenly felt a numb and itchy feeling behind my ears.
I shivered and was shocked.
Is this coming? !
I held back my breath, drew the knife sharply, and then turned around and slashed!
With a gasp, I split the air.
As the wind blew, a few wickers flew behind me!
There is quite a feeling of baring one's teeth and claws...
