Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 21

When I got to the side door, I took out my phone and checked the time, it was five past twelve.

Zhou Peng reached out and tugged at the small, broken wooden door, and opened it without much effort.The moment the door was opened, a gust of cold air swept over the face.In the room where there is not much sunshine all year round, the smell is very bad, that is, the musty smell, and occasionally the smell of dead mice.If this is placed in summer, the picture is really beautiful.

"Are you sure we can enter without a mask." Before I could finish my sentence, I saw Wang Dan and Jiang Shan wearing masks.

I just wanted to say that neither of them would prepare one for me, but Jiang Shan immediately handed over a mask, and I put it on with a playful smile.

"Be careful for a while, there may be poop on the ground inside." Jiang Shan turned on the flashlight after speaking.

I thought to myself, isn't this building rumored to be haunted? It's really a bold artist who can pull it out here?After thinking about it, there is also such a possibility, maybe it was because of scaring.

As soon as you walk in, you can really feel a strong sense of the times.But looking at the overall decoration style, it is more like the old hospital at my house, with the same color scheme.We first walked around the first floor. In addition to broken glass and some chalk dust on the ground, the rest was shriveled poop.

Fortunately, there are not many of them, and most of them are concentrated at the two side doors.When passing by the classroom, I even looked inside, and I stopped Jiang Shan and said that I wanted to go in and have a look.Jiang Shan picked up the flashlight and pushed the door open, and took a photo inside, "Let's finish reading, let's go."

"Aren't you looking for clues? Don't you want to take a closer look?" I chased after her and asked her.

"My grandma didn't happen here, and there's nothing to see. Our destination is the third floor. And the girl who just died was also found on the third floor." She said flatly.

"Isn't it possible that the corpse was moved up after being killed in another place?" After hearing what I said, she felt that it made sense, but he still insisted on going to the third floor first.

"Jiang Shan, I don't know if I should say something or not?" She stopped to listen to me. "Yeah, after your grandma died, this place has been used again, right?" She nodded.

"Isn't the evidence or clues gone?" I don't know if it's appropriate to say this, but it is indeed reasonable.

"I want to ask you a question, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" Wang Dan and Zhou Peng heard her mention ghosts, and stopped talking for a moment, staring at Jiang Shan quietly.

There is an old saying, don’t talk about people during the day and don’t talk about ghosts at night.I completely understand their panic expressions.Being in such an environment is a test of a person's mental endurance. Her words made the already gloomy atmosphere even more terrifying.

I thought for a moment and said, "I believe it." I didn't lie. I didn't just believe it or not. I had killed several of them myself.

"Then don't talk nonsense, let's go." After she finished speaking, she walked upstairs.

I was actually surprised by what she said.Although there are still many feudal superstitions in the Northeast, it makes no sense to say that Jiang Shan came here just to meet his grandma.

Following her, I kept observing her expression, but with the mask on, I couldn't tell what kind of expression she had now.Only a pair of big watery eyes blinked and blinked, which made my heart itch.

Finally at the next corner, she stopped. She was about to reach the third floor. I felt quite uneasy.Although I have seen quite a few ghosts before.But those are those who have been dead for a long time, and one on the third floor just died less than half a month ago.

When I was uneasy, Jiang Shan stopped suddenly, then turned her head and said to me: "Do you feel a little quiet?"

I also seem to feel that after passing the second floor, it is indeed a lot quieter.It suddenly occurred to me that after going up to the second floor, there was no other sound except Jiang Shan and my footsteps.Turning around quickly, there were no figures of those two people behind him.

"After I went up to the second floor, I didn't seem to hear their footsteps." Jiang Shan said what I thought, and hurried back, went down to the second floor and looked into the corridor.

It is strange to say that according to common sense, even if it is an abandoned building, the windows on the first floor are usually sealed up, and the windows on the second floor are also tightly sealed, and they are still made of bricks.There was no light in the corridor. I asked Jiang Shan for a flashlight, but she ignored me and walked over by herself.

"It's too dark ahead, and I don't know if there's any danger. I'll take the lead." I wanted to snatch her flashlight, but she said, "Look, there seems to be a door ahead?"

Following the light of the flashlight, there is indeed a dark door in the corridor, just next to the door passing the first classroom.The sides are covered with cement, which looks like a modern pouring process, but this door is very familiar to me, but I froze for a moment, and I can't remember where I saw it.

"Thirteen, tell me, is it possible that they went in?" Jiang Shan interrupted my thoughts, but I wasn't sure if they went in, and I didn't know how to answer.

"I remember."

My voice was a little loud, which startled Jiang Shan.

"What do you remember? You startle me."

"When I was in the underworld, the door to the underworld was made of this material." I reached out and touched the black door, and even the texture was exactly the same.

"What? You still walked through the shadows?" Jiang Shan asked me in disbelief.

"Yes, do you know what it is to be shady?"

"Of course I know, my mother will go to hell." Under my questioning, she explained the reason.

Back then, after her grandmother died, her grandfather took her mother to the south, settled down in a mountain village in Yunnan, and got married with a girl in the village through someone's introduction.

At the beginning, due to the language barrier, they didn't know each other very well. It took a long time for her grandfather to realize that this girl is a Miao ghost teacher, and to put it bluntly, a wizard.

Jiang Shan's mother has not cried since she was born. According to common sense, a child must cry to survive.I don’t know why her mother never cried, and when she was five or six years old, she still couldn’t speak.

Jiang Shan's step-grandmother told her grandpa that this child was not an ordinary person, until one day when her mother was playing at the entrance of the village, she suddenly fainted, and when her grandpa and grandma arrived, her mother had already woken up.Immediately after waking up, he began to cry, and told them that he saw a gate, behind which a man with a bull's head captured a lame man.

This lame man is from this village. He told his family early this morning that he wanted to go up the mountain to cut some firewood. His family tried to stop him in every possible way, but they still didn't stop him.

Her step-grandmother felt something was wrong when she heard it, and hurriedly asked the people in the village to go out to find the lame man.After searching for it in the middle of the night, the lame man's body was found in the gravel ditch in the back mountain.It is said that there is no good flesh in the whole body, and several parts of the body have been pierced from the inside to the outside by the broken bones.

He also said that when he was found, the body was still not cold, and if he was found earlier, he might not have fallen to his death.From then on, everyone in the village respected her mother very much, as if she had the ability to predict the life and death of people. In that culturally isolated village, she existed like a god.

Jiang Shan's step-grandmother also taught her mother all the experiences and skills she had learned throughout her life.

After listening to Jiang Shan say these words, I almost opened my mouth.

She went on to say: "Besides, I want to tell you one more thing, not only my mother is free to have sex, but I also have the ability."

"Do you have any surprises to tell me?" I looked at this cute, dark-bellied little girl in front of me with admiration.

"No, what about you, do you have anything to say?" Jiang Shan asked me, frowning and blinking.

Although what I experienced was fantastic, I haven't forgotten that the most important thing for us now is not to talk about scriptures and Taoism, but to find Zhou Peng and Wang Dan first.

"For me, it's hard to explain in one word. Simply put, we belong to the same people."

I briefly talked about what happened to me before, but she was even more puzzled and said that when she was walking in the dark, she didn't see any doors, she just went directly to the black stone road.

I don't know how to explain it, because I am also confused by this problem.But except for the door, the rest of the places can be right on.And now the door in front of us is made of exactly the same material as those two doors.I don't know why there is such a door here, it's really a wave of ups and downs, and my head is getting bigger.

"Since it is the same as the door I encountered before, it means that the thing behind the door must not be a good thing. It may be another entrance to the gray area. Let's be careful." I finished speaking When I was there, I felt uncomfortable in my chest, as if I had sucked in some dust and blocked my lungs.

"There seems to be something in the air, cough cough" Before I finished speaking, I just coughed. At this time, I suddenly thought of the unknown book that my master gave me, which seemed to record poisonous gases such as miasma. What kind of solution, whether it is miasma or not, let's try it first.

I sat down cross-legged, closed my eyes and lifted my breath, my heart turned to the sky, and the obscure words memorized in my mind appeared in front of me page by page.Then, these words seemed to automatically dominate my limbs, and I could clearly feel a wave of qi rushing around in my body, flowing out and in with the palms turning up and down, and finally dissipating in my body.

I opened my eyes, and the uncomfortable feeling before disappeared without a trace.And Jiang Shan was squatting in front of me and looking at me curiously.

"What are you doing?"

"I don't know what's wrong, I feel like I've inhaled some poisonous gas, don't you feel it?" I was a little surprised, looking at her as if nothing happened.

Jiang Shan said slowly: "It's okay, I'm not afraid even if there is poisonous gas, I planted Gu worms on myself when I came in, even if there is poisonous gas, I'm not afraid."

"Give yourself a Gu, you are ruthless enough, what if there is no poisonous gas?"

"I'll untangle myself again!"

I really regret asking such a stupid question. If someone can cast a poison, they can undo it. I don't understand such a simple truth. It seems that my IQ is really just above the passing line, or failing.

She thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "However, I do feel that something is wrong, but it is not on the second floor, but on the third floor. Let's go up first and talk about it." She didn't wait for me to answer. He went straight to the stairs.

"Wait for me, I don't have a flashlight." I stood up and ran after him.

When I reached the third floor, I really felt a strong uneasiness. How can I describe it?It's as if there are a bunch of long-tongued monsters and a fat black man waiting in front of you to deliver them to your door.

It is the breath of resentment.

I took off the mask, thinking that even if there is poisonous gas, it should be too late now.But it's still happening now, so I don't need to bring it anymore.I asked Jiang Shan for a rubber band, and quickly stroked my hair and tied it up.

"You look really good, much cuter than before." I couldn't tell whether she was praising me or burying me.

I vowed to her: "There must be something dirty ahead, get ready to fight, you stand behind me, I will protect you!"

But she kept looking ahead and said lightly: "It's already here." I looked forward, and sure enough, something seemed to be moving in front of me.

I narrowed my eyes and carefully looked at the unknown object in front of me, but I couldn't see a clue.

"What is it, dark?"

Jiang Shan ignored me, just put the flashlight on the ground and began to take off her coat.

"It should be a bunch of resentful souls fused together. Hurry up and get ready for any move." Jiang Shan had already taken off her coat after speaking, and she was only wearing a tight-fitting vest. look at her.Not because I admire her ability to withstand the cold, but because she is covered in tattoos.

If this is placed in a normal environment, it is quite trendy and social.But in this weird situation, everything that seemed normal was no longer normal.

Because the light was too dark, I couldn't see clearly what the tattoos were.There seems to be a character tattooed on the back, the tattoo on the left arm should be a dragon, and the tattoo on the right arm is densely packed with text.My appreciation of tattoos has always been in the movie Young and Dangerous. This is the first time I have seen such a large area and high quality tattoo.

I cautiously asked: "Here, I want to ask, are you in the body of a man or a woman?"

"Do you want to inspect the goods, Daoist?"

Even at this time, she was still in the mood to joke, so it is estimated that her strength should not be weak.I quickly put away my surprise, took out the fire talisman, urged it to ignite and threw it out.

Jiang Shan stared at me with wide eyes, expressing that she didn't know what the hell I was doing.

"Let's show off first! Hehe." Before I turned my head, the black "big meat ball" in the distance seemed to have discovered the fire talisman I threw, and rushed towards us like crazy.

Jiang Shan quickly took out a red paper talisman from her pocket and threw it out. Without even chanting the mantra, she saw that an invisible wall was formed ahead to block the big meat ball in the distance.

I was stunned by her coherent movements, not to mention that she can activate the talisman without even reciting a mantra. The difference between our level is not a level or two.

"Hurry up, what are you looking at? This talisman won't last long, so grab any talisman you have." I quickly handed the ghost-killing talisman to her, she looked at it and said that such amulets were not enough.After speaking, he gave me two more and asked me to throw them away quickly.

"The Taishang Laojun taught me to kill ghosts and my magic formula, hurry like a law!" Fu Qi flew out with a white light, and when he was about to throw the second one, he saw three white lights around him, followed by the big meat ball. flew over.

I rely on!No way, my single-target skill made him use the group AOE effect!

Surprised but not daring to be negligent, I hurriedly chanted the incantation reminder and threw the last cannonball on my body.

"Hey, why do you bring so much?"

I said embarrassedly: "It's not that I want to bring more, but I just failed to draw the five lethal talismans." She looked at me helplessly, as if she hated iron for being weak. .

"Didn't you say you picked up a jade pendant? Give it to me quickly!" I hurriedly found out the jade pendant and handed it over. She held the jade pendant in her hand and looked at it carefully, while stroking it with the other hand.

"This is not a jade pendant. It seems to be some animal's bone. It will become jade after a long time." After she finished speaking, she bit her finger, and the blood stained the corner of her mouth looked very sexy.

Just think of it this way, the scene where a cute little loli is fighting against an evil monster, isn't it a bit exciting.But the premise is, don't open your mouth to speak, the voice is very demeritful.

She compared her bleeding finger to a sword finger, and wrote something on the jade pendant that was not a jade pendant.Suddenly, a blue light appeared on it, and the light became brighter and brighter.It was so shaking that I couldn't open my eyes. When the light weakened, I saw a sword extending from the vertical position of the jade pendant plane.

I was so surprised that I couldn't close my mouth from ear to ear. I thought, holding it for so long, I thought it was just a simple jade pendant.The moment you see a cute girl, do you get nervous?
"This is an artifact, do you know how to use it?" Hearing Jiang Shan's hoarse voice, I looked at her a little ashamed.From the beginning to the end, I was the owner of a dozen soy sauces. I didn't help, and it dragged her down.

"If you feel comfortable with it, just take it and use it first." I lowered my head and felt a little frustrated, and suddenly she handed me the jade sword.

"I'm joking with you, don't take it seriously, I have Hades body protection, they can't hurt me, you take the lead, I'll cover you. Hee hee." After finishing speaking, he winked at me.

I feel like I'm in love. Men can't be so depressed. They should cheer up and prepare to fight.What ghosts and legends, what ghosts and monsters, I will give you a break today, Master Xiaodao!

I took the jade sword and took a closer look. The blade is not very sharp, and the back of the sword is engraved with inscriptions, which is very beautiful with a slight blue light.It's just that it lacks some masculinity and is not domineering enough. I looked at Jiang Shan for a rough man like me, forget it, a feminine man like me should use this sword.

Without further delay, I rushed towards the big meat ball with a sword in one hand and a flashlight in the other.
