Entering the fifth courtyard, Zhang Xiu asked Feng Chu to stop. He turned around and saw that the snake demon Mr. Hai had not caught up with him. He couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"Eh? Why didn't the snake demon catch up? Then wasn't the Xu Xian I prepared for him in vain?"
Yan Feng looked at Zhang Xiu helplessly: "I don't know where you heard this from. The snake demon is really not afraid of being called Xu Xian... Also, quickly unlock your invisibility. Now you only have one head floating around." Stay!"
Zhang Xiu unlocked the invisibility spell, and the body below the neck was revealed. He looked around and found that there was a light on in a room. He said with some annoyance: "Oops, I forgot to ask Sanniang about this yard."
No one lives in the first courtyard, Xiao Xie and a group of female ghosts live in the second courtyard, fox demons live in the third courtyard, and Mr. Hai lives in the fourth courtyard.
Almost as you go inside, the monsters living there become more powerful. As for what lives in the fifth courtyard, Zhang Xiu also feels a little guilty.
After looking at each other, Yan Feng was promoted without any surprise and came to the door bravely.
After several knocks on the door, a kind-faced old man wearing a Confucian scholar's robe opened the door.
Glancing at Zhang Xiu and others, the old man looked puzzled: "Why did you come here? Don't you know this place is haunted?"
Zhang Xiu smiled helplessly: "I've seen it before, it almost scared my head off..."
The old man lamented and said: "That's all, you guys come in quickly. Now you can rest in my room for the night and wait until dawn before leaving."
Several people followed the old man to the house, served tea to several people, and said, "This yard is not peaceful. There is an old monster here. I was kidnapped by him to serve him."
"While he's not at home, you guys can sleep one night and get up and leave as soon as possible tomorrow."
Zhang Xiu asked: "What kind of spirit is that old monster you mentioned?"
The old man shook his head, and then said with a fearful expression: "I don't know what kind of monster he is, I only know that he likes to eat human brains.
There used to be two scholars who mistakenly entered this courtyard just like you. After I fell asleep, I was suddenly awakened by a clicking sound. When I got up with a lantern, I saw the old monster holding a scholar's hand. Brain, suck the brains of those two scholars..."
Ao Xue gasped in fright: "He even eats human brains, he is indeed an old monster! Fortunately, I am not a human..."
The corners of Yan Feng's eyes twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but complain: "Dragon brains and tiger brains are much more precious than human brains."
Ao Xue reacted after hearing this, her face turned pale with fright, she jumped into Zhang Xiu's arms holding Feng Chu, who had turned into a kitten, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xiu glanced at her speechlessly, then looked at the old man: "By the way, old man, the old monster you are talking about is you, right?"
The old man was stunned: "@#￥%￥#@..."
This scholar must have reacted too quickly! !
This old man is an ancient divine beast named Mengtapir.
It can absorb people's fears and dreams. He often goes out to tell scary stories and makes people have nightmares for him to absorb. The method has been tried and tested.
Unexpectedly, this time, Zhang Xiu and the others were not frightened into nightmares, but his identity was revealed first!
Looking at Zhang Xiu's sincere eyes, Meng Xiu showed a dumbfounded expression: "Young master, you are really good at joking. How could such a powerful monster be a bad old man like me..."
Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay if it's not you. I thought you were deliberately scaring us."
Meng Tapir laughed twice and said: "Young Master, you should rest as soon as possible. With the old monster's vicious reputation as a deterrent, other monsters and monsters in the yard will not dare to come in. You can leave safely at dawn."
After saying that, he walked out of the door holding an oil lamp and went to the next room.
After the door closed, Zhang Xiu turned to Yan Feng and said, "Brother Yan, I feel something is wrong with this old man. How about we wait for him to fall asleep, burn down the yard, and then blame the snake demon?" ?”
The dream tapir eavesdropping next door: "..."
If you meet a kind person who takes you in for the night, why would you burn their yard? ?
Is there any royal law for this? !
The corner of Yan Feng's mouth twitched twice and he said: "When it's daytime, the snake demon's magic power will weaken a little, and we can think of another way."
Zhang Xiu nodded thoughtfully: "Well, then I'll listen to you. Let's wait until daytime before setting fire."
Yan Feng: "..."
Is this what I mean? ?
Meng Tapir was so angry next door that he gritted his teeth and vowed to scare him. He blew out a stream of mist from his mouth and filled Zhang Xiu's room.
After a while, he came to the room where Zhang Xiu and others were staying, looked at Zhang Xiu who was sleeping soundly, sneered, grabbed Zhang Xiu's soul, and brought it to the underworld.
A moment later, Zhang Xiu found himself in a strange place. Looking at the three characters "Ghost Gate" on the city gate in front of him, he showed a look of shock: "Am I dead? This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
The dreamy tapir, who had turned into a ghost, stood beside Zhang Xiu and said with a proud look on his face: "Yes, you are dead. Come with me to the underworld."
Meng Tapir has also encountered very courageous people before. When meeting such people, he will take them to the underworld and let them experience the torture of the underworld. They can put them in a frying pan and pull out their tongues. There will always be someone who can scare them. He recalled the bad things he had done and had nightmares with a guilty conscience.
Seeing Zhang Xiu's reaction, Meng Xiu felt proud for a while. At this time, Zhang Xiu suddenly turned around and said with some embarrassment: "But isn't there already the King of Hell in the underworld? With my merits during my lifetime, how can I do it after death?" I have to be the king of hell. Isn’t it a little bad to ask him to make room for me? "
Dream Tapir: "..."
Good guy, as soon as you come to the underworld, you will become the king of hell. The man in front of you must be a rebel who is born to rebel!
The corners of Meng Xiu's eyes twitched slightly, and he tried his best to put on a cold face and led Zhang Xiu into the gate of hell.
Soon, the two of them arrived in the eighteenth level of hell.
Mengxiu brought Zhang Xiu to the hell of saws. A handsome scholar was tied to a wooden board, and two imps pulled a saw and cut it from the middle of his body.
Hearing the tortured man's painful wailing, Zhang Xiu couldn't bear it. He stopped and asked, "What did this man commit during his lifetime?"
Meng Tapir glanced at the scholar and said, "This man's name is Xi Fangping. He didn't commit any crimes during his lifetime. His family had a grudge against a rich man named Yang from the same town. After his father died, he was tortured by a kid bribed by the rich man. He was so angry that he went to the Chenghuang Temple to file a complaint."
"The local city god was also bribed by the man surnamed Yang. He was afraid that he would go to the King of Hell to complain, so he captured his soul and sent him to hell to be tortured, so that he would stop complaining."
Zhang Xiu's face became solemn and he shouted to Xi Fangping loudly: "Xi Fangping, I am the magistrate of Jinhua Prefecture. Mr. Qingtian, Zhang Xiu, if you have any grievances, no matter what, I will definitely avenge you!"
Xi Fangping looked at Zhang Xiu with a painful look on his face: "Thank you, Mr. Qingtian, but...but you are also dead..."
Zhang Xiu was stunned: "..."
Yes, he seems to be dead too, and the most important thing is... he hasn't spent all his money yet! !
