The voice of the opera was very high-pitched and thin. When Xu Huaigu listened carefully, he could hear a woman babbling and singing.
The voice was gentle and smooth, like a warbler's cry. Regardless of the terrifying artistic conception, the opera technique could be regarded as proficient.
Xu Huaigu had seen ghosts and knew that there was not much difference between ghosts and humans. It was just that humans were entities and ghosts were virtual bodies.
And since he was a monk, ghosts couldn't hurt him at all, so he wasn't afraid at all. At this time, he was curious as to why there was the sound of a woman singing in this house, and who the rich male voice was that invited them in before.
So Xu Huaigu jumped up from the bed, quietly walked to the door, and said to Gu Sanyue: "Yueyue, you stay inside, I'll go outside to see who is singing." Gu Sanyue looked at it in horror. Looking at him, he said: "Who else could it be? Of course it's a ghost. It's all your fault for living here. How can I sleep now?" But Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "The opera singer is missing. It must be a ghost. Let me tell you, the people living in those thatched houses you knocked before are not humans, those are ghosts. But the old woman in white in this house is the first living person we have seen in the village. People. The secret of this weird village must be in this house. I want to find out." Gu Sanyue stood up quickly and said fearfully: "Then I will go with you, you leave me alone in this house. I will be scared to death in this room." Xu Huaigu thought for a while and said: "I will go alone. If you are not good at cultivation, you will be easily discovered if you go there, so it is better to hide in this room." He removed from his body He took out a few yellow paper talismans, handed them to Gu Sanyue and said, "These talismans are all talismans that can exorcise ghosts. I'll keep them for you to save your life." Then he took out two more high-rank talismans from his body. He put the higher ghost-expelling talisman on the door and said, "The old woman warned us that something will happen tonight. You must be careful and adapt accordingly. Remember, with these two ghost-expelling talismans on the door, Ordinary ghosts can't get in. Just stay here. No matter what sound you hear, don't open the door, and you'll be fine." Xu Huaigu added: "If something happens and you have to fight a ghost, you As long as you remember, there is no difference between ghosts, humans and monsters. You will still die, so don’t be afraid. If a ghost dares to attack you, just pull out the long sword on your waist. With the power of that long sword, as long as If you kill a ghost, it will definitely die." Gu Sanyue looked frightened and checked every corner of the room. After making sure there was nothing else, he quickly added more oil to the oil lamp, and the room suddenly became much brighter.
Gu Sanyue had no idea whether she would spend the whole night alone in this horrible house, so she got up from the bed and started practicing her boxing skills.
The sound of fists and kicks was whirring, and Gu Sanyue was quickly immersed in it, sweating profusely. Even though there was a lot of fear in his heart, he was no longer so afraid.
...After Xu Huaigu walked out of the side room of the house, he looked around the yard for a few times and found that he was only in the front yard of the house.
Behind the front yard is the backyard. There is a two-story weird embroidery building located in the backyard. The babbling opera sound comes from the second floor of the embroidery building.
In the darkness, Xu Huaigu could vaguely see a few miserable red lanterns hanging on the eaves of the second floor of the embroidered building. However, the fire in the lanterns had long been extinguished, leaving only a lantern skeleton.
This embroidery building is becoming more and more unusual. Xu Huaigu's mouth corners slightly raised and he smiled curiously. He is becoming more and more curious about the stories in this village.
The Yin gathering formation composed of the five Yin trees, the dead people living in the thatched house, Granny Miao's warning, and the sound of opera in the embroidery building, all of these made Xu Huaigu curious.
But it was just curiosity, he was not afraid at all. This is different from the situation on the ferry. The plan on the ferry didn't seem to be the least bit scary, but it was intended to both kill people and pierce people's hearts. This was a human plot.
Although ghosts were rampant in this village and strange things happened one after another, fortunately everything was made clear. Xu Huaigu was confident that there would never be a ghost that could hurt him in such a desolate coastal village.
Speaking of which, the situation on the ferry was countless times scarier than this ghost village. He walked lightly and quietly towards the backyard in the dark.
A gust of wind blew by, and the locust trees in the yard rustled. Xu Huaigu squinted his eyes and looked in all directions of the desolate house, but found no sign of any living things.
Suddenly, there was a sound from the door beside him
With a "squeak" sound, Xu Huaigu suddenly dodged behind a locust tree, as deftly as a squirrel landing without making any sound.
The person who walked out of that door was Granny Miao, who had opened the door for the two of them before. She was holding a bowl of something like water in her hand.
But it was too dark, and Xu Huaigu couldn't see clearly whether it was water or not. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.
Granny Miao walked to the embroidery building in the backyard. Xu Huaigu followed her quietly and continued walking to the backyard.
Not long after, Granny Miao turned a corner, and Xu Huaigu followed her, but surprisingly found that Granny Miao had disappeared on this road.
Xu Huaigu was very sure that she had taken this path just now, but where were her people now? He became alert and looked around.
The embroidered building is still there, and the sound of the opera is exactly the same as before, long and sad, with a hint of crying.
It's just... there's one thing that's a little weird. It's the moon. When Xu Huaigu followed Granny Miao, it should have been almost midnight, but now, the moon was still in the east, and time had actually moved back before midnight.
This is weird. No one in the world has ever been able to move the moon forward, right? There is only one possibility. There is a mystery in the corner just now. Xu Huaigu was tricked. This is no longer the previous house, but a small secret space similar to Hang Xun's secret realm.
In the secret space, time has its own system, so it can be explained that such a thing exists. However, this secret realm is really nothing compared to the Hangxun Secret Realm.
There are four seasons, flowers, birds, insects, beasts, and all creatures in the Hangxun Secret Realm, which are supported by the bones of the Black Phoenix of the Eleventh Realm. How can this small secret realm compare?
The size of this small secret realm is at most as big as this house. Xu Huaigu was not in a hurry to go out. He wanted to see what the intention of someone bringing him in was.
"Squeak..." A door was pushed open. Xu Huaigu looked around but couldn't find which door was pushed open.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." There were several more sounds in a row, and several doors were pushed open. Then, all the doors nearby were pushed open. Xu Huaigu could see clearly now that the person coming out of the door They were all the dead people I had seen in that thatched house.
They had ferocious faces and laughed inexplicably. Without exception, they all walked up to Xu Huaigu slowly.
Among them was the enchanting and beautiful woman whom I had seen before, looking at Xu Huaigu with charming eyes, her eyes full of covetousness.
Xu Huaigu felt disgusted in his heart, but he wouldn't take action now. If they were killed so quickly, the scene would not go on.
He laughed loudly and cursed the beautiful woman, saying: "Bah, you bitch! Her mother is still so disgusting after her death, and she is not a good thing in front of her! If you want to take advantage of your grandpa, you will be a long-term leader in the next life." You have to be ten times more beautiful!" The beautiful woman's expression changed, and she immediately became vicious, much faster, and pounced towards Xu Huaigu.
Xu Huaigu laughed loudly. As expected, calling women ugly is still the most effective way to anger them. Facing the female ghost rushing towards him, Xu Huaigu just tiptoed lightly, jumped up from the spot, jumped onto the eaves of a bungalow next to him, sat down, and watched the ghosts approach with interest. come over.
These brats are not even close to the realm. Even if there are 11,000 of them, they will not pose any threat to Xu Huaigu.
He was just thinking about why these people appeared here. And what ulterior motives did the people who built this village have in keeping these ghosts in the village?
Xu Huaigu glanced at the sky in this small secret realm. Thinking of Zuo Qiuxun's last sword in Hangxun Secret Realm, he couldn't help but feel excited. He calmly smiled and said: "It's just a sky curtain, I can cut it with one sword."... ...In Gu Sanyue's room, the sounds of fists and kicks continued to be heard, and she was still practicing boxing.
It is said that this boxing training is indeed a good way to cultivate one's character. Gu Yuyue was scared to death before. Now after practicing boxing for a while, he feels that the blood and energy are surging all over his body. The ethereal ghosts don't seem so scary. .
While she was practicing boxing, she heard some rustling noises coming from outside the door, mixed with a woman's high-pitched laughter. In this dark night, it was full of weirdness.
Gu Sanyule's heart sank. If there was such a sound in this mysterious village, it must be a ghost.
After all, she has been an ordinary person for more than 20 years, and her fear of ghosts is almost engraved in her bones.
Even though I am a martial artist now, I still have a natural fear of ghosts. I had to stop practicing boxing. The shrill laughter got louder and louder. A voluptuous shadow gradually approached through the paper curtain of the window. Finally, it stopped outside the door and said with a smile: "Good sister." My sister has been alone here for decades. It’s very miserable. Today I can finally see a living person. My dear sister, just open the door for your sister. She will only take a look at you and won’t tell you. How are you?" Gu Sanyue was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe. He sat down next to the oil lamp beside the bed, huddled up, and looked at the door in horror.
The woman's voice was extremely sweet, as if it were soaked in honey, and she said, "Good sister, if you don't want to open the door for me, my sister will come to you by herself." Gu Sanyule was so frightened that his throat He moved slightly, holding the hilt of the long sword tightly in his hand, and looked at the two ghost exorcism charms on the door.
As soon as the woman put her hand on the door, the two ghost-expelling talismans on the door suddenly glowed with golden light. She wailed in pain and disappeared.
Gu Sanyue finally breathed a sigh of relief and moved his hand tremblingly from the hilt of the sword. Only then did he realize that he was breaking out in a cold sweat and couldn't help wiping the sweat with his sleeve.
Unexpectedly, one wave just calmed down, and another wave started again. Suddenly, several figures appeared outside the door. One of them held a sword in his hand, and several figures were chasing him.
The figure holding the sword was outmatched and retreated steadily. He threw himself in front of the door and shouted: "Open the door quickly, I am going to be killed by them, save me!" Gu Sanyue looked shocked. This was Xu Huaigu. the sound of!
She hesitated for a moment, remembering what Xu Huaigu told her at that time not to open the door no matter what, but now... should she open it or not?
While she was hesitating, those figures also caught up and started fighting with the figure holding the sword again.
The figure holding the sword was staggered from left to right, and was injured by something unknown. A trace of blood suddenly spattered out and fell on the door, which shocked Gu Sanyue.
Xu Huaigu's voice was still shouting: "Hurry up, save me, save me! If you don't open the door, I'm going to die!" Gu Sanyue was so anxious that his brows rose, he stamped his feet, and with determination, he rushed towards the door. .
