"Brother Han, it's okay, don't scare him."
Xiao Ling secretly suppressed Han Yuan who wanted to get angry and looked at the stupid young man.
"Aping, you damn kid is disobedient and running around!"
At this time, a peasant woman rushed over from the other side of the road. She protected the young boy who was screaming with fright behind her. She bowed apologetically towards Xiao Ling and said, "I'm really sorry, young master. My family, Aping, has had a bad brain since he was a child and likes to talk nonsense."
The woman bowed her head and apologized again and again: "He really didn't mean it. I'll apologize to you! Do you think you'd like it if I washed your clothes?"
Xiao Ling was now dressed in white and had an extraordinary bearing. At first glance, he was the young master of a wealthy family. He was as fair and noble as an immortal. The woman nervously squeezed the young man's hand, fearing that Xiao Ling would be angry and ask them to pay for the clothes.
"Mom, you don't have to be like this. It's just a dirty spot. It doesn't matter."
Xiao Ling quickly gave the woman a weak hand, and the boy behind her stopped yelling and started staring at Xiao Ling stupidly again: "Hey, fairy brother... ."
After saying that, he carefully glanced at Han Yuan, who had a dark face behind Xiao Ling, and muttered something in a low voice, but no one could hear him clearly.
"Haha~" The boy was now a ghost, impermanent, and now a fairy. This made Xiao Ling laugh. He chuckled and shook his head: "I'm not a god, I'm just an ordinary person."
After saying that, he turned to the woman: "Mom, there's no need to apologize. It doesn't matter much. Are you a nearby villager? Can I ask you something?"
"Oh, yes." The woman breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, "Young master, if you want to know anything, please ask quickly. It looks like it's going to rain today."
Xiao Ling glanced at the sky. The sun was covered with dark clouds. It was indeed going to rain. So he simply asked without making any detours: "I want to ask, has the village in front been uninhabited for a long time?"
"Ah!" Seeing Xiao Ling pointing to the deserted village in front of her, the woman seemed startled, "Young master, why are you asking about this ghost village?"
"Ghost village?" Xiao Ling's expression tightened, "Why do you say that?"
"Here, this village has been deserted for nearly 20 years." The woman held the boy's hand, as if she felt there was something taboo about it, but in the end she saw that Xiao Ling had a good face and was gentle and polite, so she said it anyway.
"More than ten years ago, all the people in the village died overnight. It is said that a fierce ghost in black killed the entire village. Later, the entire village turned into ghosts! So, this village It’s called a ghost village.”
All turned into ghosts?
Xiao Ling turned to look at Han Yuan, and Han Yuan shook his head: "There is no other ghost energy in it. Those villagers have no souls left, how can they become ghosts? This woman is just making up lies to trick you. "
He said it so directly. Xiao Ling was startled, and then heard Han Yuan say: "Don't worry, she can't see me or hear me. But that silly boy probably had to bump into a ghost when he was a child." Get me."
Xiao Ling felt relieved and continued to ask: "Auntie, why do you say that everyone in the village has turned into ghosts? Did someone bump into them?"
The woman seemed to have thought of something terrible, and she trembled, then pointed to the sky: "After that tragic incident happened, people from our village originally wanted to help collect the bones.
As a result, it was such a rainy day, with dark clouds and many ghosts wandering around! There is also a black-clothed evil spirit among them, not to mention how scary it is! "
Speaking of this, the woman patted the boy's hand with a sad expression: "I was pregnant with the child at the time. I didn't get too close. I just took a look at it from a distance and was so frightened that I gave birth prematurely. As a result... ."
"Alas, my son has been in poor health since he was born. As he grows up, he becomes even more stupid. People say that he was haunted by evil spirits... I really don't know what happened. What a sin."
"Auntie..." Seeing the woman covering her face and wiping her tears, the young boy who had been secretly staring back and forth at Xiao Ling and Han Yuan just now calmed down and helped the woman wipe her tears with some helplessness. , but the movements are very clumsy.
This look made Xiao Ling think of the original owner and the father and mother who adopted him, and he quickly comforted him: "Mom, don't be too sad. It's good that the young master is healthy and safe."
After saying that, he looked up at the sky again, then bowed and planned to leave: "The rain is about to fall, so I'll wait... Well, I won't bother you anymore, please hurry up and take care of me." Let’s go home with your son.”
"Thank you..." The woman had just calmed down when she saw Xiao Ling was about to say goodbye and go to the ghost village. She quickly stopped him and said, "Hey, young master, you are not going to the ghost village alone. Is it right? You can’t, because every time it rains in the past few years, there will be ghosts wandering there, and it’s very vicious, so you can’t go there!”
Is there a ghost wandering around every time it rains? It was a coincidence that I just went to see what was going on.
Xiao Ling thought about it and smiled reassuringly: "Don't worry, ma'am, I... have learned from Xuanmen and am good at subduing ghosts. There will be no danger here."
"Aoao...it turns out to be an immortal master." The woman was stunned for a moment after being deceived. Finally, when she saw that the rain was really about to fall, she finally took her son and left: "Be careful, immortal master, we I won’t waste your time.”
When he saw that silly boy being dragged away, he was still looking back from time to time, muttering about "red and white impermanence", and then he was taught by his own mother to talk nonsense.
The Ghost King was no longer angry at this time. He put his chin on Xiao Ling's shoulder with a smile, and blew a breath of yin air ambiguously, like a bewitching ghost: "It turns out that Aling is also used to lying. I don't know what Aling is." At that time, you learned from Xuanmen and were good at subduing ghosts?"
Xiao Ling trembled at the "wind in his ears", rolled his eyes and pushed the "person" up, then took out the talisman Bai Qingyin had given him before, clamped it with the red thread and shook it between his fingers. Shi Ran glanced at him:
"I surrendered the Ghost King, why doesn't it count?"
"Forget it, of course~"
Seeing Han Yuan forgetting the unpleasantness just now and approaching him with a playful smile, Xiao Ling curled her lips, turned around and walked quickly towards the "ghost village".
"By the way, is that young man really so stupid because he was possessed by an evil ghost?"
"They did encounter a ghost, but there was no ghost. It was just that the woman was frightened and gave birth prematurely, which caused the fetus to be born with deficiencies."
"So that's it." Xiao Ling nodded. He thought he was really possessed by a ghost or something, and he was still wondering if the original owner was stupid because he bumped into a ghost when he was a child. It seemed that he was overthinking.
"Then what happened to the ghostly figures those people saw?"
“You’ll know after you go in and take a look.”
"Tick-tock——"
The moment Xiao Ling and Han Yuan stepped into the "ghost village", the rain finally fell and hit the stones at the entrance of the village, making a clear ticking sound.
"Hey! Don't run away, you brat!"
Xiao Ling heard a shout, looked up and saw a blurry shadow flashing past him so suddenly that he was so startled that he quickly avoided it.
And at this moment, they were surrounded by ghosts!
