Longevity begins with Orion

At night, there is no village in front and no shop behind.

The moon is in the sky, wild fog sweeps over the ground, the road ahead is unclear, and the vision is unclear.

On such a lonely road in the wilderness, a carriage was still speeding. Seeing the weather, the carriage driver slowed down and asked a few words behind the curtain, then stopped the carriage and jumped out, tying the carriage to a bare old tree. side.

Li Yuan opened the car curtain and looked around. It was foggy in winter, especially in this mountainous place.

"Just spend the night here."

"Yes, sir."

The driver's name is Wang San, who belongs to the landlady. He is not a warrior, but a simple man who is diligent and measured in his work.

After a while, Li Yuan and Wang San were lighting a bonfire together, with Tang Nian helping.

Snapped.

bang bang

The puppet was holding a lot of firewood. Tang Nian picked up the firewood and threw them one by one into the hot flames.

"Sir, miss, I'll do it. Just rest," Wang San said with a smile.

Li Yuandao: "Wouldn't it be faster to have an extra pair of hands? Come together."

Wang San scratched his head and said: "How can you do this?"

Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, Lao Wang, go about your business."

Wang San didn't say anything anymore, he just felt that his uncle was really a nice person.

"How long does it take to reach Huamo County?" Li Yuan asked casually. He could only control three birds, so he only had three fixed sights. One was at the mass grave to guard against accidents, and the other was at the antelope's mouth to guard against foreign enemies. One person was guarding against accidents at Baihua Manor and could not move these three places because he did not know when something would happen to these three places. Therefore, he only had a vague idea of ​​the extent of the journey.

But Wang San knew it well and said at this time: "Master, we should be able to arrive tomorrow evening."

After a while, Li Yuan and Tang Nian finished their dinner hastily and got into the carriage.

There is no way to wash in the wilderness. Even if you go to the toilet, you have to run far away and hide behind a tree.

Late at night, everything was silent except for the bonfire. The eldest girl fell asleep in the carriage wrapped in a blanket and leaning on the puppet. After sleeping for a while, when Li Yuan didn't come, she opened the curtain like an adult and looked outside. Door.

Outside the door, under the stars, the young man who looked more like an elder brother than a foster father was sitting by the bonfire. While holding a dead branch in his hand, he was looking at the gradually dimming bonfire, wondering what he was thinking.

People are mutual.

Tang Nian lost her biological father, but she began to feel that her adoptive father was sincere and kind to her. Even if she couldn't get over it emotionally, she still wanted to do something in actions and words.

"Father, it's cold, please rest early." The eldest girl shouted.

Li Yuan looked back at the older girl at the carriage window and said, "You go to bed first, make do with it today, and you can take a shower tomorrow night."

"I'm not afraid of hardship every year." The eldest girl looked firm and said, "Father, go to bed early."

After saying that, she pulled up the curtain, placed her small palm against the cold puppet's heart in the darkness, closed her eyes and whispered softly: "Dad, I will give you the most powerful body, I will definitely do it. "

The next day, the carriage set off.

There was a small accident halfway, and some short-sighted bandits intercepted Li Yuan's carriage.

This was a group of vicious bandits, and there was a ninth-grade bandit among them. Li Yuan was not polite, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he just wanted to solve it with a few swords.

These bandits are a source of unrest in the three counties, so they will be killed as soon as possible.

As a result, Tang Nian said, "Father, let me do it."

Li Yuan asked his adopted daughter to practice his skills, and then Tang Nian did not get out of the carriage, let alone look outside the carriage, and directly controlled the puppets to kill all the bandits, leaving no one alive.

The scene was extremely bloody, and the bandits were cut into irregular pieces by the six-sword puppet.

Wang San shivered and was frightened when he saw it.

Li Yuan regretted it a little. He thought Tang Nian was a child at heart and wanted to master puppeteering, but he didn't expect her to be so direct.

A twelve-year-old girl should not do this kind of thing of killing people and eradicating their roots.

Tang Nian saw Li Yuan's thoughts and said softly: "Father, Nian Nian is not a flower in the greenhouse."

Li Yuandao: "You are still young."

Tang Nian said, "Nian Nian is not young anymore," and then said, "Thank you, adoptive father."

After saying that, she leaned sideways towards the big puppet she had just gotten into. He was a little stubborn, rebellious, and didn't want to hear what he was taught.

Li Yuan did not dwell on this topic, and then asked: "Did you have any good friends during the past few days at Orange Blossom Gate?"

He took Tang Nian out because he was afraid that the girl would be lonely. Originally, Xiao Sheng and Niu Niu were her friends, but now they no longer interact with each other. He hoped that Tang Nian would make new friends, so during the few days he spent at Orange Blossom Gate, he completely allowed Tang Nian to hang out with the younger generation of Orange Blossom Gate.

Tang Nian is interested in toxins, and Orange Blossom Sect also likes hidden weapons and puppet mechanisms. Both parties are very interested in each other's power, and they naturally have common topics of conversation.

In fact, toxins, hidden weapons, puppets, mechanisms, and even assassins are all connected, and when combined together, they can form many terrible killing methods.

This was also the reason why the He family wanted to attack the Tang family before. As assassins, they wanted to integrate the power of the puppet family.

Tang Nian hugged the big puppet and said in a cold voice: "Yes, Liu Xiaoyu always comes to me. I ask her about the knowledge about toxins, but she pretends to ask me about the knowledge about the puppet."

Li Yuanqi said: "Fake intention?"

Tang Nian hesitated, but after a few breaths, he said: "The person Liu Xiaoyu is really interested in is her adoptive father. She likes her adoptive father, and she misses her little mother."

Li Yuan:? ? ? ? ? ?

"Did she say it herself?"

"No, it was Niannian's own thought."

Li Yuan ruffled the older girl's hair and said, "Don't think too much. Liu Xiaoyu should be eighteen or nineteen years old this year. You can call her sister."

Now that he has reached the sixth level, he can no longer have children with ordinary people. His married life is also very good, and the plus point is bound to Lady Yan, so he has no plans to accept any more women for the time being.

As for what to do after a hundred years?

Let’s talk about it then.

The two chatted intermittently to pass the boring journey.

After a while, everyone was doing their own thing. Tang Nian leaned against the big puppet, with deep thoughts in his eyes that were not suitable for his age. He was obviously thinking about the calculations of puppetry.

Li Yuan was thinking about the visualization diagram. This visualization diagram was a random guess of his own, and he didn't know if other powerful people had it. But regardless of whether there was one, he had to make one himself.

He was thinking about what his visualization picture should look like and how it should fit in with his life picture.

Because the bandits were delayed for some time, when the carriage arrived at the east gate of Huamo County, it was already dark and the city gate was closed.

Behind the battlements, the scorching light from the brazier drew long and short patrolling figures. In addition to the normal guards guarding the city, there were two figures in white sword robes. They were disciples of the Frost Sword Sect.

The Frost Sword Sect only accepts female disciples, perhaps due to their martial arts, so the two patrolling men are also a young girl and a middle-aged woman.

"I heard that the ancestor of the Blood Sword is very young." The girl from the Frost Sword Sect was very curious.

"No matter how young you are, you are still half a century old. You should be called grandpa." said the middle-aged woman from Shuangjian Sect.

The girl said: "Hey, the sixth grade is really good. They are already half a hundred, and they still look like young people. Will they grow old?"

"It is said not." The middle-aged woman thought for a while and said, "I heard that they will not start to age until they reach their end."

As the two women were talking, they saw a carriage parked at the bottom of the city.

Sounds rumbled from the car.

"Li Yuan, here to visit."

"The Blood Knife Ancestor is here!" the middle-aged woman said, then hurriedly clasped her fists and said in a loud voice, "Ancestor, wait a moment."

As he said this, he ran down the city, urging the guards to open the city gate.

After a while, the city gate opened.

The two women entered the city with the carriage.

Li Yuan got off the car.

The two women said respectfully: "I have met the ancestor."

"You're welcome, what do you call me?"

"Han Ying."

"Pang Qian."

Immediately, a middle-aged female swordsman named Han Ying said: "Ancestor, please come with us."

Li Yuandao: "There is no need to arrange banquets such as welcoming the wind and washing the dust, and there is no need to arrange special maid service. I want to meet Miss Pang Yuanhua of your family."

He had done some simple homework before coming, and knew that the current head of Shuangjian Sect was Pang Yuanhua, the military advisor-type woman who used clever tricks to scare General Qingxiang away when he attacked the city. Moreover, that woman was somewhat special and could see The connection between the soul and the soul of the white sparrow appears.

Han Ying looked embarrassed and lowered her head slightly.

As if thinking about showing off, Pang Qian said from the side: "Ancestor, Uncle Pang is missing. Now we are all looking for her."

"Pang Qian!" Han Ying said in a slightly stern voice, and then said, "I'm sorry, ancestor, this little girl doesn't understand the importance of what she said."

Li Yuan looked at the middle-aged female swordsman and said, "Why do you say you don't know the importance?"

Han Ying hurriedly bowed and said respectfully: "Ancestor, it was Senior Sister Pang who was in contact with the Blood Knife Sect before, but now that Senior Sister Pang has disappeared, the life catalog has also disappeared. The sect owner originally thought that you would come to the door, and then Haosheng apologizes to you, but I didn’t expect that this girl is so quick to talk that she said it directly."

"Then who is the head of the family now?" Li Yuan was a little curious.

Han Ying said: "It is me, Pang Tantai, the master of Shuangjian Sect."

Li Yuan's expression was slightly condensed, but he didn't say anything. He just said: "I understand."

Han Ying said: "Ancestor, please come with me."

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, saying: "As guests do, Lao Wang, follow this heroine."

Wang San, who was sitting on the imperial seat, said with a busy smile: "I understand, sir."

After saying that, Li Yuan was about to get into the car. As soon as he got on the driver's seat, he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Miss Pang?"

Pang Qian didn't respond.

Li Yuan called again: "Miss Pang."

Pang Qian finally came back to her senses, pointed at herself, and said with a confused look on her face: "Did you call me?"

Han Ying next to her said: "Don't be so rude!"

Pang Qian then apologized in panic, and secretly looked at the legendary Blood Knife Ancestor cautiously and curiously. He really looked about the same age as her.

Li Yuanwen said: "I'm new here and I'm not familiar with this place. Can Miss Pang get in the car and tell me about the customs and customs of Huamo County?

I also have my daughter in the car, so it’s not like a man and a woman are alone in the same room, so Miss Pang doesn’t have to worry. "

Pang Qian said willingly: "Okay."

Han Ying hurriedly stopped her and said, "Pang Qian, don't be rude!"

Li Yuandao: "Why are you so rude?"

Han Ying said hurriedly, "Don't dare, don't dare", and let Pang Qian climb onto the carriage and get into the carriage.

Tang Nian sat coldly in the corner and moved a little away, but then she sniffed in surprise because she smelled a light fragrance from Pang Qian, which smelled very good.

Pang Qian lowered her head, then carefully raised her eyes to look at the young Blood Knife Ancestor across from her. It was the first time for her to see the sixth grade, and she was very nervous. She gently pinched the train of the sword robe with her hands, and her long legs were tightly together.

Li Yuandao: "Miss Pang."

"Ancestor!" Pang Qian looked up quickly.

"Pang Yuanhua is really missing?"

"Yes, the sect master and the master wife of Fuyue Temple disappeared before, and Uncle Pang has been investigating their whereabouts. In the end, nothing was found, but he fell ill.

A few days ago, the sect leader and Master Tai suddenly appeared again, but Master Pang disappeared.

At that time, Master Pang replied to the letter from the Blood Knife Sect, and the Life Illustration at that time was also in Master Pang's hands.

Now she suddenly disappeared, and the sect owner and the master are looking for her everywhere. "

"Where did the sect master and the master's wife disappear? Have you gone there to look for Miss Pang Pang?"

"I didn't say anything." Pang Qian thought, holding her chin with her fingers, and said, "But I heard someone say before that it seemed to be in a carpenter's home. There had been a series of disappearances in the county before, and the owner and the master's wife I went to the carpenter's house to investigate. Later, Uncle Pang also went there, and he fell ill.

Everyone was very scared, and some people said that the carpenter's shop was a ghost land. However, the owner and the master's wife came back fine. They said that it was not a ghost land, but it was a very magical place. They just walked around in it. , almost two years have passed since the results came out. "

Li Yuan's pupils shrank. He opened the curtain and looked out the window. The night in Huamo County was quite lively. People were coming and going in the bustling market. There was actually someone in front of the restaurant shouting "Xue Fermented Brewing, Hengwu Restaurant" Snow fermented rice wine, quantity is limited, first come first served.”

Hengwu Restaurant has long been famous in the three counties. Restaurants from various places often go to Hengwu to order wine, and I think the one here is one of them.

"parking."

Li Yuan suddenly shouted.

The carriage stopped.

Pang Qian said: "Ancestor, do you want to drink?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "No, I want to put the girl down."

"Oh, yes, we have walked so much, I'm going down right away." Pang Qian stuck out her tongue, opened the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, the curtain was opened again, and Li Yuan leaned in front of the window and shouted: "Miss Han, Miss Pang, since there is no life picture album here, I will not enter the city. I have important things to attend to. Take my leave."

These words were so sudden that Han Ying and Pang Qian both stayed in place, unable to react for a moment.

Han Ying said anxiously: "Old Ancestor, did we fail to entertain you well? Master, Master, she has already held a banquet and is waiting for you in front."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Then thank her for me."

After that, he put down the curtain and said: "Old Wang, turn around and go back."

Everyone was stunned, even Tang Nian looked at his adoptive father in surprise, not knowing what was happening.

"Old Wang."

Li Yuan shouted coldly.

Only then did Lao Wang wake up on the driver's seat, and the chariot turned around and headed back in the direction it came from.

"Get out of the city, hurry up."

Li Yuan continued.

Lao Wang raised his whip and shouted "drive". The wheels of the carriage turned quickly, and it arrived in front of the city gate in a short time. The guards did not dare to stop him when they saw the ancestor leaving and returning, so they hurriedly opened the city gate.

After a while, several fast horses came quickly from the end of the street. The woman at the head was wearing a black sword robe that was different from ordinary disciples. Her expression was majestic, full of the aura of a superior, and the two swords behind her were also very powerful. Conspicuous.

After the woman arrived, she got off her horse again. The city guards hurriedly saluted and shouted, "I have seen the master of the gate."

This is Pang Tantai, the master of Shuangjian Sect.

"Where's the ancestor?"

"The ancestor is out of the city."

"how long?"

"It's almost two sticks of incense time."

"knew."

Pang Dantai looked a little unhappy, and she turned her head to look at the two disciples who came to greet her.

Both Han Ying and Pang Qian hurriedly apologized.

"Forget it, maybe the ancestor has other things to do." Pang Tantai said, "Tomorrow, I will ask Sanniang to take you two. Forget it, I will ask Sanniang to go to the Blood Knife Sect to apologize. By the way, I want to ask clearly."

Outside the city, in the wilderness, the white mist rose again, and the sky and the earth seemed hazy.

Tang Nian couldn't help but asked curiously: "Father, why are we leaving?"

Li Yuandao: "The girl who came up has corpse odor on her body, didn't you smell it?"

"Corpse odor?" Tang Nian was immediately frightened, his little heart trembled, and the cold air rushed out. He subconsciously hugged the big cold puppet tightly. She dared to kill people, but she was still afraid of ghosts.

She thought about it and said after a long time: "I only smelled the fragrance."

"What kind of scent?"

"Like a vanilla, woody scent."

"But there's corpse odor hidden in that woody fragrance."

Li Yuan closed his eyes and recalled.

He had long heard about the serial disappearances that had occurred in Huamo County. Miss Pang Yuanhua had even written a letter asking for help. This time he went there, firstly to refer to the Life Illustration, and secondly to chat with Pang Yuanhua. Disappearance case.

He felt strange that Pang Yuanhua was missing, so he specially asked a disciple to get in the car. As a result, he smelled the stench of corpse.

"Old Wang, do you smell the corpse stench?" Li Yuan shouted again.

Listening to the conversation in the carriage, the coachman was also frightened. At this time, he tremblingly said: "Master Qiqi, I don't have it either."

Li Yuan thought for a while, maybe he had smelled a very faint corpse odor on crows, so he was sensitive to this odor?

"Master, where are we going now?"

"Find a wilderness and spend the night tonight."

"Yes, sir."

In the darkness, Li Yuan felt goosebumps rising in rows. Maybe it was because he had experienced it several times. This time, he was not so afraid.

But Tang Nian was so frightened that he actually moved over and leaned against Li Yuan.

"Father, is he really a ghost?"

"As long as there is even a slight possibility, my adoptive father will not take any risks.

So in the situation just now, the adoptive father chose to leave the city instead of going to find out what was going on despite knowing the danger. "

"I understand. But foster father, what should we do next? Will we go back to Shanbao County at dawn?"

Li Yuan thought for a while and smiled: "Wait for one person first."

"Who is it?"

"Pang Yuanhua."

"Isn't she missing?"

“But that was what a man with corpse odor told me.

The more she says that Pang Yuanhua is missing, the safer Pang Yuanhua might be. "

"What if she doesn't come?"

"Every year, as long as there is a slight possibility, my adoptive father will wait."

Li Yuan looked into the distance, the wasteland was pale in the moonlight.

There are more and more of these damn ghosts. Sooner or later, we will face them head-on. Instead of facing them passively, it is better to understand them in advance.

The night is getting darker.

Tang Nian held Li Yuan's arm, while Li Yuan looked out the window.

The carriage stopped on a high slope, where you could observe the surrounding scene. There was a small river behind the high slope. Although it was not drinkable directly, it was still good for cleaning things.

In the distance, a white sparrow was flying from north to south, heading towards where Li Yuan was.

Li Yuan gave up guarding Lingyangkou.

next day

It's sunny.

As the sunshine fell, Tang Nian huddled in the carriage. She felt that she had learned a lot during this trip, and she was still learning.

She had to admit that her adoptive father was really a very special man. He was not "just a strong man from a small border county" as she had thought before.

She suddenly felt blushing because she had said before that she would "defeat her adoptive father", but she still wanted to stick to this goal, just as chasing after her adoptive father's back.

Li Yuan "returned to his old business" and went to the wilderness to hunt two hares and a pheasant.

Prey is hard to find in deep winter, but this does not include a sixth-grade expert like Li Yuan.

Skillfully light the fire, clean it, roast it, and then divide the meat.

The day passed like this.

the next day.

Bai Que arrived.

The third day.

Li Yuan was sitting on a high slope thinking about the Life Illustration. From the jungle in the distance, a figure in gray clothes was hurriedly coming.

In front of the gray-clothed figure, there is a white bird flying.

A figure in gray clothes quickly approached. He was a thin man with his face covered and a hood on. It was unclear whether he was a man or a woman.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's our first time meeting you, Miss Pang Pang."

He originally tried it, but he didn't expect it to succeed.

Pang Yuanhua could see the soul connection on Bai Que. She saw Bai Que, so she followed Bai Que and saw herself.

The figure in gray clothes took off the mask, revealing a skinny face, leaned forward and said: "It is really rude of Yuanhua to come to see senior in such an ugly state."

"Goooooooooo."

Shanbao County, Yinxifang, inner city.

When Tie Sha saw a homing pigeon landing, he raised his hand to wave, took off the letter paper, and scattered a handful of rice.

"It's an urgent report from Frost Sword Sect. Didn't this ancestor just go to their place? Why are you reporting urgently at this time?"

Tie Sha spread it out curiously, and his body froze when he saw it.

There were four blood-red words written on the paper. The handwriting was extremely sloppy, showing the haste of the person who wrote the letter.

Those four words are: If there is a ghost, don’t come! !

Iron kill suddenly arises.

Calculating the time, the ancestor should have arrived in Huamo County.

What should I do?

The ancestor is completely ignorant. In this case, he will just plunge into Huamo County, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

But who can know this kind of thing in advance?

"Damn it, why did you come just now?"

Tie Sha paced back and forth, thought for a while and hurried out, shouting: "Gather the men and follow me out of the city!"

Shanbao County couldn't lose his ancestor. Although he didn't know if it would be useful to go at this time, he had to go. Even if it was too late to respond outside the county, he could at least find out the truth.

"I didn't expect that senior didn't receive my letter, but he still left early. Yuanhua really admires me."

The skinny eldest lady looked at the young ancestor opposite.

"It's just a fluke." Li Yuandao, "What happened?"

"We encountered a ghost realm"

"A lot of people have died in Huamo County, or are there heavy grievances?"

"No. Our Huamo County is not big. There are only four mills in total, so there is no black market. Even the corpses are buried outside the county." Pang Yuanhua said, "Senior, are you trying to figure out the formation of the ghost realm?"

Li Yuan nodded.

Pang Yuanhua said: "This formation probably has nothing to do with resentment.

The ghost town in our county is a carpenter's shop.

Anyone who enters the carpenter's shop will be stared at by the carpenter and then disappear from the world.

At first, there should have been a few people who accidentally entered the carpenter's shop.

Later, many people came in.

This is the truth behind the serial disappearances.

After the disappearance case occurred, I, the master of Shuangjian Sect, and Master Fuyue'an also started investigating. They must have been to the carpenter's shop, so they also disappeared.

Later, more and more people disappeared. I just came back from abroad, so I started to investigate.

Later, I also explored the carpenter's shop and walked in. "

Li Yuan's expression condensed slightly.

Pang Yuanhua said: "The carpenter's shop is empty, there is nothing.

I turned around and went out.

But since then, I have become sick and become weaker and weaker.

I originally thought I would die like this, but just a few days ago, I opened the door of my room, but instead of returning to my room, I re-entered the carpenter's shop.

This time, the carpenter's shop was not empty. Instead, there was a strange man wielding a hammer and carving wood carvings. The shelf behind him was filled with dolls, and there was a stove next to the shelf.

I asked him something, but he didn't answer. Then I saw the paleness of his face, and the coldness, resentment, and numbness of his pupils. Those eyes were not human at all.

I glanced at the dolls on the wooden stand, and found the dolls of Pang Tantai Sect Master and Master Fuyue'an. The two dolls were lifelike, with expressions of fear on their faces, but they were placed on the wooden stand. superior.

I wanted to take away the dolls, but the two dolls were extremely heavy. I couldn't lift them even with all my strength.

But at this moment, the weird carpenter seemed to have finished his work. He suddenly stood up, grabbed a puppet on the edge of the wooden frame and threw it into the stove with a "snap".

The puppet screamed, just like a living person screaming when being burned.

Then, the weird carpenter placed a new doll on the wooden frame.

I know that new doll.

He is our nephew Pang Qian.

I looked at the nephew Pang Qian on the wooden stand. The nephew's face was full of fear and panic. Her eyes were still rolling, and then she looked at me with eyes asking for help.

I was scared and ran away in a hurry.

That same day, I met Senior Nephew Pang Qian again. Originally, Senior Nephew Pang Qian was almost the same as me. She was sick, her flesh and blood were exhausted, and she was skin and bones. But suddenly she recovered from her illness. She was recovering quickly, and she was still talking and laughing with people.

Then, I suddenly heard another disciple say that the missing sect leader and Master Fuyue'an were back.

I thought things were too weird, so I hurriedly wrote a letter, saying there was a ghost and asking you not to come.

At the same time, he escaped with the Life Illustration, which was another preparation in case you didn't see the letter. "

Pang Yuanhua spoke eloquently, but Tang Nian, who was listening with his ears pricked up, was already terrified, and his body froze there without moving.

Li Yuandao: "So, you are avoiding the door. You are afraid that there is a carpenter's shop behind the door, because there may be a carpenter's shop behind any door."

Pang Yuanhua said: "Yes. In fact, I have been outside the city. Your white sparrow also discovered me outside the city.

I dare not pass the door because I have already guessed how the Carpenter's Ghostland works."

Li Yuandao: "Anyone who enters the carpenter's shop will be seen by the carpenter ghost, who will quickly carve puppets.

When the puppet is complete, the real person will be replaced by the ghost, and the real person himself will enter the puppet and be placed on the wooden stand of the carpenter ghost.

However, there will be times when the wooden frame is full. Once it is full, the carpenter ghost's movements will slow down. He needs to discard a puppet before he can put a new puppet. "

Pang Yuanhua said: "If the wooden frame is not full, the people who meet the carpenter will be left in the carpenter's shop, so they disappear.

When the wooden racks are full, people who enter the carpenter's shop will queue up. Just like me and nephew Pang Qian, we can still live outside, but because of the carpenter's curse, our flesh and blood begin to dry up.

The carpenter will burn the dolls on the shelf, and people in the queue will slowly replenish them.

They will open the door, but no matter what door they open, there will only be a carpenter's shop behind the door. Then, they will be replaced by ghosts, and they themselves will become puppets on the wooden frame. "

She lowered her head slightly and said softly: "Whether it is Master Pang Tantai, Master Fuyue'an, or Master Nephew Pang Qian, they are no longer human."

"But why did the ghost do this?" Li Yuan asked.

Pang Yuanhua said: "I asked about the carpenter's shop.

There used to be a carpenter living in the shop, and the carpenter's name was Shen Jiliang.

He is a very withdrawn person and seldom communicates with others. At first, he did some work outside, but later he stopped doing it after making some money.

He returned to his house and found a matchmaker to arrange a marriage, but he was deceived. Fortunately, we found the liar and helped him get his money back.

Later, Shen Jiliang got a strange disease again. The doctor didn't know what it was, so he said it was a strange disease.

At first, he lost feeling in his feet, then below his knees, and then the paralysis continued to spread, as if it was about to engulf him.

Shen Jiliang spent all his money but did not get treatment.

Because he has no friends, no one cares about him on weekdays.

It was not until later that someone smelled the stench of corpses when passing by the door of his house, and then they entered the house and discovered Shen Jiliang, who had long since rotted and was covered in insects.

He died while sitting in a chair, with his head tilted to one side. He was probably paralyzed, and then the feeling of paralysis slowly spread over his body, neck, and head.

I don't even know if he was conscious at the end.

If so, then this way of death is really terrible and cruel.

Later I heard that several puppets were found in the house, and they were not very pretty."

Li Yuandao: "Then everything is correct."

Pang Yuanhua's dull pupils stared at the ground silently, "Yes, the carpenter ghost is Shen Jiliang, at least its killing method is related to Shen Jiliang."

At this moment, for some reason, Li Yuan suddenly thought of the dream Mrs. Yan said.

In the dream, it was pitch black, as if there was a thick layer of cloth covering the outside. The window had iron bars, and outside the bars was a light so dazzling that it seemed to burn the soul.

this.

Where is the house?

These are clearly the iron cages used to load live goods on black market bullock carts.

Black market ghost land! When did you get involved with your wife? !

After realizing this, Li Yuan's heart clenched.

He looked at the girl in front of him and said, "How can I help you?"

Pang Yuanhua smiled bitterly and said: "You have helped me by knowing this news. I hope you can use this news reasonably to let more people survive.

And I will continue to live in the wild. Let's see how long I can survive.

Senior, don't worry, there are still people helping me.

I also have some ability to protect myself. "

Li Yuan had no intention of continuing to inquire about the secret, so he wanted to invite her into the car, but when he looked at the car curtain, he thought to himself: Isn't that also a door?

So he gave up the idea and got on the bus to get some silver for her. It was a modest effort, and then he wanted to go home quickly.

He got on the royal seat, raised his hand to push the curtain, and walked inside.

A pungent smell of sawdust suddenly came to the nose, and the strange "clang" sound of the iron chisel cutting through the hardwood was heard from time to time. The blood-red wooden frame was at the end of the line of sight, and there were twisted dolls with different expressions on the shelf. The ground is covered with thin wood rolls and sawdust

The strange man's eyes were numb and resentful. He was squatting not far away, holding a red wooden chisel in one hand and a rusty hammer in the other, carving something.

Li Yuan's pupils tightened, and his scalp instantly became numb.

He turned around and saw that the door he came from was gone!

His heart was beating loudly, and with a thought, the shadow blood around him suddenly emerged and was squeezed out from his pores, turning him into a bloody man in an instant, and every inch of his skin was covered with his own shadow blood.

The next moment, he stepped on the ground, turned around, and hit the wall of the carpenter's shop behind him with a "bang".

Then

Bang!

He reappeared outside the carpenter's shop and fell heavily onto the wilderness.

Something unexpected happened, and Wang San, Tang Nian, and Pang Yuanhua were all shocked.

Why did the Blood Knife Ancestor suddenly become a bloody man?

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"senior!"

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."

Then he turned to look at Pang Yuanhua and said, "Let's go."

"senior??"

"Walk!!"

Pang Yuanhua didn't know what happened, so she stood up, bowed carefully, and then left.

A white sparrow flew high and followed Pang Yuanhua out of sight.

But after following around, I didn't find anything unusual.

So, the white bird came down again and brought Pang Yuanhua back.

Then, Li Yuancai said: "I've entered the carpenter's shop. Is there anything you can do?"

Pang Yuanhua was stunned, then realized something and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, senior."

Li Yuan said coldly: "Maybe the next doll in this carpenter's shop is stuck here, so the doors that open around you are all the doors of the carpenter's shop!"
