Screaming Cycle

The bell and drum tower was completely dark, there were no candles and no lampstands. The only light sources were all lighting outside the courtyard.

Mo Tiangen turned the window and entered the Bell and Drum Tower, pulling the edge of the window and looking out.

Outside the courtyard wall, there was a sway of fire, and it had already come towards him.

"Rile!"

Mo Tiangen was sweating, and a piece of his back was wet.

The group of monsters outside searched for him on the basis of "humanity". As long as there is no wooden sign that can conceal his identity, even if he climbs a tree and hides in the bell and drum tower, he might not be able to hide for long.

Just when Dagen-teacher was too anxious, and even considering whether to try to break through the encirclement, he suddenly heard a faint sound from behind him: "Kacha".

The sound was very soft and thin. If you didn't pay attention, you would mistake it for the movement of the wood deformed and cracked, but Mo Tiangen was still frightened and his hair stood upside down.

He clutched his chest and looked back tremblingly.

Not long after entering the Bell and Drum Tower, Mo Tiangen’s eyesight had not yet fully adapted to the darkness of the building, so he could only distinguish the outlines of several large objects in the depths of the house, as well as a translucent figure in white clothes. .

One time he was born and the other time was familiar. By the third time, Mr. Dagen was not surprised, and he was able to face calmly and calmly.

Sure enough, seeing Mo Tiangen turning his head, the white figure raised his hand and beckoned at him, seeming to signal him to pass.

--All right!

Mo Tiangen swallowed hard, quickly made some mental construction for himself, and bit his head and walked towards the white-clothed figure.

After his eyes gradually adjusted to the dark environment, he could clearly see the true appearance of the man in white in front of him.

She was a young woman in her early thirties, with a thin body and beautiful features. She was wearing an embroidered skirt with a moon-white background, her hands folded in front of her, her posture was very elegant, and she looked like a well-educated woman. Ladylike.

But even if the woman's temperament is brilliant, she still can't change her vague sense of unreality.

Mo Tiangen stared at the delicate and beautiful woman in front of him, his lips trembled, and he barely squeezed out two words: "You, hello..."

The white-clothed woman's lips curled up, revealing a wry smile with a hint of sorrow.

Then she stretched out her hand and pointed her slender finger to her side.

Teacher Dagen followed the female ghost's guidance and turned his head and saw a Buddhist altar with an extremely exquisitely carved white jade Buddha statue. There was also a mahogany altar table and three splendid futons in front of the Buddha.

Only then did Mo Tiangen notice that the second floor of the Bell and Drum Tower was a Buddhist hall.

It's just obvious that the monsters in this house don't believe in Buddha, so the temple has been abandoned for a long time.

The white jade Buddha statue was covered with dust and cobwebs, and the flowers, snacks, and fruits on the table were corrupted into a pile of gray and black residues that were indistinguishable from the original appearance. One leg of the incense burner was broken. .

This time, Mo Tiangen did not immediately understand the meaning of the ghost, and couldn't help but look back and glance at the woman in white.

He saw the young woman in white still raising her hand, stubbornly pointing in the same direction.

Mo Tiangen had to get close to the altar and study it carefully.

This look made him notice something that he had just overlooked.

In the corner of the offering table, there is a rectangular wooden box with a delicate peach branch pattern, but now it is covered with dust and looks inconspicuous.

Mo Tiangen stretched out his hand to take the box, opened it, and found that it contained a long-necked blue and white porcelain vase.

He took out the porcelain bottle and looked back at the female ghost in white.

The beautiful woman smiled and nodded at him.

Teacher Dagen hurriedly pulled off the cork, and immediately smelled a strong scent of sandalwood.

In fact, probably because this is a Buddhist hall, the incense is lingering all the year round, and the unique smell of incense has already soaked the building materials and wood in the house. Distinguished the lingering light fragrance.

It's just that if the house itself has a seemingly fragrant fragrance, it can't be compared with the strong fragrance in the bottle. Mo Tiangen suddenly smelled it without any psychological preparation, and he was even coughed by the smoke.

"Cough cough cough!"

While coughing, Mo Tiangen poured out a few dark brown pills from the bottle.

"What is this? Komaru?"

--correct!

At the moment when the word "xiangwan" was exported, Mo Tiangen suddenly realized.

He guessed what the ghost in white wanted him to do.

At this time, the group of guardians who were chasing him had gathered torches in their hands and gathered in the courtyard, and they were walking towards the Bell and Drum Tower all the way, and they were coming soon.

Mo Tiangen no longer hesitated immediately, crushed the incense pill in his hand, sprinkled the incense mud with the fragrance of sandalwood on the windowsill, stairs and altar table, and then wiped all the remaining incense mud on his body.

After doing all this, he climbed the edge of the window, used his hands and feet together, crawled to the roof beam a few times, found the darkest corner, and curled up cautiously.

Two minutes later, Mo Tiangen heard the creaking sound of the stairs.

The two nursing homes came upstairs to check with lanterns.

"Huh! What does this smell!"

One of them just walked into the Buddhist hall and immediately covered his mouth and nose, "It smells bad, it smells really bad!"

The other fairy obviously didn't like the smell in the room. He showed disgust and wrinkled his nose and looked around. When he saw the white jade Maitreya on the Buddha's niche, his disgust turned into disgust, and there was still a hint of fear.

The monsters in the mansion are mostly mountain spirits. Of course, they hate the Dharma and Taoism that can restrain them, and they have a natural sense of fear.

After the King Wutong took the house with a group of younger brothers, he sealed the bell and drum tower together with the second-floor Buddhist hall with a big lock, as long as it did not exist. For more than a hundred years, there has never been a monster meeting. Come in and stroll in idle.

At this moment, a group of nursing homes followed the smell left by Teacher Dagen, and chased them to the vicinity of the Bell and Drum Tower. After searching the ground floor and finding nothing, they randomly sent two people to let them take a look at the second floor.

Now these two monsters had just stepped into the Buddhist hall, and they were stunned by the scent of sandalwood in the air. They slapped their noses in discomfort, and had no intention of distinguishing them carefully.

The two demon only carried the lamp, and hurriedly shone light everywhere in the room. After not seeing the figure, they turned and hurried downstairs. They complained that the incense of mortals was so powerful. It was so rich that it could kill half of their lives.

Mo Tiangen held his breath, squatting on the roof beam like an oversized mouse, not daring to move.

When the sound of footsteps and the candlelight were gone, the entire Buddhist hall was restored to darkness again, but Teacher Dagen still did not immediately relax his vigilance.

He waited patiently for another moment, and after confirming that the group of monsters had really left, he got down from the beams, gingerly rubbed against the window, poked out half of his head, looked out, and saw the fire moving far away. , Showing that they have gone elsewhere.

"call!"

Mo Tiangen let out a long sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground.

"Thank you."

He thanked him sincerely.

At this moment, the white-clothed woman was standing next to the Buddhist altar. Hearing Mo Tiangen's thanks, curled her lips and gave him a reserved smile.

Mo Tiangen felt that he was stunned that he could see the pitiful suffering from the white-clothed beauty's light smile.

"Can I ask?"

He rubbed his face and asked with a particularly sincere expression:

"Excuse me, who are you guys on earth?"

&&&&&&&&&

Just as Mo Tiangen was hiding in the Bell and Drum Tower and fleeing for his life, the monsters searched for the movement of humans in the mansion, and they also alarmed Ji Shu and the others who were hiding in the fallen house.

In fact, because Mr. Dagen chose to drill in places where there were few people when escaping, he and Ji Xiaoniao were actually separated by a courtyard wall.

Hearing the noise outside, Fan's sister was afraid that someone would break in. Seeing that they were abusing Manager Yan, she took the initiative to ask Ying and go out to listen to the news.

After a while, Fan Hemian returned.

"Said it was a human being found in the house, and a group of children's courtyards are chasing it!"

She explained to everyone:

"But it looks like it won't come to our side."

Ji Lu frowned slightly worried:

"Could it be that one of the performers accidentally dropped the horse, right?"

About fifteen minutes ago, the situation of hide-and-seek game changed significantly again.

Ruan Nuo’s teenage voice informed them that the identity of "ghost" had been transferred from Huo Jia to Huo Bing. Huo B was immediately out of the game because he was a "ghost" for the third time. A new ghost is randomly selected from among the participants.

At this time it is the Yin time, and the new "ghost" candidates will soon be produced.

One minute later, at 03:01:32, the four participants in the room heard a new reminder from their ears: [The game has started again, [Ghost] has been born! 】

The four of them looked up together, their eyes meeting in the middle of the room.

"I am not a ghost!"

Fan Hemian spoke first, and at the same time withdrew a step back, protecting his younger brother behind him, Chao Ji Shu and Ren Jian silently showed the palms of their hands.

"Show me the palms of your hands!"

Ji Lu and Ren Jianmo exchanged glances.

Neither of them had been a "ghost", so they didn't know that a mark would appear in the hands of "ghost".

However, they all knew that Fan's sister had experience of being a "ghost", so there was no need to ask more, and they could guess what was going on.

The two opened their palms towards Fan Luming, and their palms were clean.

Fan Hemian looked back at his brother again.

"It's not me either."

Fan Luming shook his head, showed his palm, and proved his innocence to the three of them.

Fan Hemian let out a long sigh of relief.

"correct."

After she was sure that she was temporarily safe, she remembered the information she had just heard outside:

"I asked, the monsters said that the human being is one foot tall and looks like a giant..."

While she was talking, she touched her chin:

"I wondered, is this someone's power?"

Before the girl's words were finished, Ji Lu's face changed suddenly.

"Oops!"

He looked at Ren Jianmo and said anxiously, "Brother Dagen may be in big trouble!"
