"Muzi, Luoluo?"
When Chen Mu and Chen Mu were alert, an old and anxious voice came. He probably spoke in the accent of the first principal's hometown, but he could easily understand it.
"Ah! Don't you know this is a crazy place? How did you two little guys end up in a place like this?"
As if because they recognized Chen Mu, the thin figure hurried over, looked at the "brother and sister" worriedly, and then looked around nervously.
The light was really dim, and I could only see the vague appearance of the person coming: he was over sixty years old, thin and lean, dressed in linen gray clothes, with a pipe and sickle attached to his waist, and his long, wrinkled, brown face was full of panic.
Li Luo was naturally wary of this person and subconsciously approached Chen Mu. Chen Mu had no information about this person in his mind. In addition to being wary of strangers, he was also more nervous because of the panicked look of the old man.
"Don't make any noise, walk, walk, stay away from me."
The old man saw nothing unusual, so he cautiously motioned for the two of them to follow. The two looked at each other and saw the hesitation in the other's eyes. It was Chen Mu who made the decisive decision, gently held Li Luo's hand and followed him.
"Old man, we still have to go to school. It's too dark. Can you help us find the way?"
"Is life or school more important?"
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, feeling that the old man seemed to know something, so he continued to ask: "Why is this related to fate?"
The old man turned around and shouted angrily: "You two little guys really don't know the heights of the world. Is this a place where you can come in casually? If my watchdog hadn't woken me up with the weird barking, you two would have I don’t know that I will be punished.”
"Why?"
"Didn't your parents tell you? There is a lot of filth in this Baizu Tomb. After the sun goes down at night and before the sun comes up during the day, this is their time to go out. You must not come here."
What the old man said was true, and Chen Mu and Chen Mu had experienced it personally. For a moment, it felt as if a dark wind was blowing by, making the necks of the three of them feel cold.
"Come on, hurry up, they're disturbed."
The old man shuddered and hurriedly speeded up. Chen Mu pulled Li Luo to follow him. I don't know if it's psychological trouble, but they always feel like something is chasing behind them.
Ta-ta-
The world is far away, and the footsteps of several people echo in the air. Suddenly, Li Luo discovered something unusual.
"Wait, listen, there seem to be other footsteps."
"They're going home. Keep your head down. If you keep walking, hurry up and don't block the road."
The old man became even more serious after hearing Li Luo's words. His legs were eager to take off. Chen Mu and Chen Mu both had goosebumps all over their bodies, and followed the old man's instructions to walk slowly and speed up.
Fortunately, the old man's residence was not far from here, and the three of them soon left the Baizu Cemetery.
"You can talk here. You two, why don't you go to the main road to cause trouble in the dark and numb place?"
Just after they came out of the grassland, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and blamed him. He looked around and said, "You are just newborn calves and you are not afraid of tigers. You don't know anything about what happened before. Why did Grandpa Lanlan go there? Can anyone tell you? That's right." It’s hard to walk this way at night.”
The two were confused, wondering who Lan Lan was?
For some reason, being pulled by someone made Li Luo feel more at ease. Not only was he not afraid, but he asked out of curiosity: "Grandpa, what is on this road?"
"Baizu Tomb, Baizu Tomb, do you think you just called it casually? I don't know how many people have been buried since ancient times. If you have any questions, go back and ask your parents. I can only tell you that as long as the sun doesn't come out, you can't go there on the main road." Look at Baizu Tomb, if you hear someone calling your name, you can’t agree or turn back, remember?”
The two nodded repeatedly, and were frightened by the old man's encouraging attitude.
Woof woof——
Sure enough, it was a strange barking. Chen Mu and the other two looked up and found that the three of them had arrived in front of two thatched houses. The old man pointed to the lighted one and spoke.
"We've arrived at my house. The door is open. You go in and sit down first. I'll get some materials to light the fire. You two come out of this place in the middle of the night. You must use fire to drive away the yin."
"Sorry for bothering you, old man!"
Chen Mu and Chen Mu were very moved. They watched the old man go away before entering the house. The dog also lay down obediently.
"You can let go."
"Ah! Oh! Sorry, I'm a little too nervous."
Li Luo smiled and didn't answer, but stepped into the room first, followed by Chen Mu chattering.
The house was very simple, with a kerosene lamp on the table in the main hall.
"Luoluo? Muzi? You two siblings don't go to school and come to my house to cause trouble?"
It turned out that there was an old woman in the room, grinding beans by the lamp. She obviously knew Chen Mu and she immediately asked in confusion.
"Hello, mother-in-law, it was grandpa who asked us to come. He went to pick up the materials."
The old woman trembled when she heard this, and looked at Mu Zi with piercing eyes: "Did he really ask you to come here? Where did you meet him?"
"It's right at Baizu Tomb!"
The old woman's face changed drastically, she hurriedly dropped the beans and ran to the door, quickly pulled the two of them into the house, then looked carefully outside the house, then hurriedly closed the door and bolted it.
Chen Mu was puzzled and asked hurriedly: "Mother-in-law, what are you doing?"
"You two little brats, you encountered something dirty. My wife has been gone for several years."
Chen Mu and Chen Mu were shocked. Their hearts were beating so fast that they almost lost their breath. They felt that the pores all over their bodies were itching. Subconsciously, their faces turned pale and they leaned together.
"Could it be that we got the wrong door?"
Li Luo asked in disbelief. The old woman looked around before replying: "You are not the first to meet me. Lan Lan's grandfather also met him before, and then... alas!"
Chen Mu and Chen Mu felt chills all over their bodies when they heard this: Is this how Lan Lan's grandfather went?
"You guys sit down. I have two talismans for you. They were given to you by your husband after that incident. They can keep you safe."
The old woman was obviously frightened and hurriedly ran into the back room. Chen Mu and Chen Mu looked at each other with their hearts pounding. Just as they were about to sit down, there was another knock on the door outside the house.
"Why did you close the door? I'm hugging you. Which one of you will open it for me?"
"what to do?"
"Don't be afraid, it's all a dream."
In order to show his brother's courage, Chen Mu hesitated a little and opened the door latch.
The old man was a little dissatisfied and complained as he entered the house: "What a strange thing happened to you two. Why did you lock the master's house out?"
"Grandpa, you misunderstood. It was your wife who locked you up."
When the old man heard this, he was so frightened that he dropped his hands and looked at Chen Mu in panic: "My wife? Where is she?"
"I went into the back room to look for something."
"Oh! The dirty things came into my house. What a disaster."
Chen Mu and Chen Mu were surprised: "What happened again?"
"You don't know, don't you? I've never been married in my life, where can I find a wife?"
The two of them were horrified: What on earth is going on?
"You guys hide, I'll go meet her. As the saying goes, evil will not prevail against good, so I don't believe she can still be the guest."
The old man was frightened and angry. He looked around the house and saw the fire stick. He picked it up and went inside.
Chen Mu and Chen Mu looked at each other, not knowing who to believe. Suddenly, I noticed movement outside the door. I saw an old woman with gray hair sticking her head out.
"I'm just telling you, why is there light in this room? It turns out it's you two. You're so brave. Why don't you come out quickly? Or I'll tell your mother."
Chen Mu and Chen Mu looked strange: Are they acquaintances again?
Seeing that the two of them didn't move, the old woman went directly into the room to pull her, and yelled: "You two are not allowed to come here even if you are hiding from school. You don't know if someone has died inside. Grandpa and grandma of Lanlan's family are not careful." We took rat poison and left together."
The two of them felt their hearts bursting, but finally knew the truth: the two old men were both ghosts.
"The situation is a bit complicated. Do we still need to use conventional methods to deal with it?"
Leaning next to Chen Mu, Li Luo asked in a low voice. She had already begun to think about quitting.
"Otherwise, what should we do? The dream world of a sixth-level dream master is not something we can resolve."
"Muzi, Luoluo, where are you going? Come and sit at my house!"
Before the two of them could discuss the outcome, a gloomy call came from behind them, making their scalps tingle and their blood flow backwards. Turning around, he saw two old men standing at the door waving to them.
"You guys hurry up, I'm going home."
The old man was so frightened that he rushed into his house as quickly as possible and closed the door.
"run!"
Chen Mu and Chen Mu were so frightened that their hands and feet trembled. They were so frightened that they had to use special methods to relieve their fear. Without hesitation, the two held hands and ran away.
The sky was slightly bright and they could see clearly a hundred meters away, but Chen Mu and Chen Mu were already in a panic. No matter how fast they were, they could still feel the footsteps of the pursuers behind them.
I don't know how far they ran, but suddenly, their feet were empty and they fell to the ground unprepared.
Getting up in a panic, the two of them were stunned by the sight before them: they were back in the tomb again, and the zombie was facing away from them.
"Luoluo, stand behind me. Don't run away this time. Facing zombies is better than experiencing the weirdness before."
Li Luo didn't say anything, Chen Mu was already protecting her behind him. At this time, the zombie turned around.
"It's you!"
Seeing the front of the zombie, Chen Mu was shocked: Isn't this the old woman who pulled them out of the house and ran home by herself?
Ready to go, Chen Mu waited for the zombie to attack, but what he didn't expect was that the zombie actually showed him a kind smile, and then suddenly disappeared.
"Not bad, you can persevere until now without breaking down. As a second- and third-level dream interpreter, you are very qualified."
Appreciative voices sounded from behind, and the two turned around. The feeling of fear deepened, and Li Luo even shrank into Chen Mu's arms.
The person who came was suddenly the widow who was bleeding from seven holes. I saw her smiling, and her frightening face changed instantly, her face became smooth and her skin was clear, her eyes were kind.
"Are you... the principal?"
"it's me!"
Hearing the other party's affirmative answer, the two people's tense spirits relaxed inexplicably.
"I never allow my students to cheat, so the moment you came in, I sealed your mental power, and your remaining sobriety was also an illusion."
"No wonder, no wonder I feel scared of the scenes in the dream world, and I can't tell the difference between real people and ghosts."
"Haha, no wonder you. Luo Luo is the bravest. Not only did I seal off her mental power, but I also gave her the fear I had back then. Although she was frightened, she dealt with it calmly. This time She can get full marks in the test.”
"Huh? Aren't we not at school yet?"
"Arriving at the school is for ordinary people. Your difficulty is several times higher than theirs. If you face the fear of your soul without flinching, you have passed. After you leave, your spiritual seal will naturally be unlocked and your true nature will return."
"Thank you, principal!"
After confirming that this was the controller of the dream world, Li Luo dared to struggle out of Chen Mu's arms and stepped forward to sincerely thank him.
"This is the result of your hard work. I am very optimistic about you. I believe you will make great achievements in the future. Go back and work hard."
"Thanks to the principal's compliments, we'll take our leave. Take care, principal."
Now that the trial is over, the two of them no longer stay long, bid farewell to the principal and embark on the road back: they can't wait to leave, and if they stay any longer, they may have a psychological shadow.
