Chapter 23 Ghost Village

"Ghost village?!" Shen Chenghai remembered the story he told before, this village would change at night, and no one lived in it.He couldn't help but looked at his watch, and found that the watch had already failed like his mobile phone, so he had to look up at the sky, guessing that it was past three o'clock in the afternoon.

There are not just one or two people who have such thoughts. They have been on their way just now, and their spirits are very tense, but they don't feel hungry. Now when they estimate the time, they find that they haven't eaten lunch.

"Why don't we go in after eating something, otherwise we won't have the energy to run when we are in danger." Shen Chenghai is old, and his physical strength has long been unable to keep up.

Seeing that Li Jingxing had no intention of objecting, everyone took out dry food one after another.

We have to save food in the wilderness, and no one knows when we will be able to go out. Everyone divides the dry food. If they are very economical, they can manage a few meals at most.

"It's okay, I can still hunt hares and so on, as long as there is fire, I can take care of it for a while." Asi cheered.

"Your marksmanship, save yourself." Xiao Fei shook his head.

"We have been in the gap for several hours, and we haven't even seen a robe or a sparrow. I think the animals in this area have all been extinct." Xu Xu just sat on the ground, and Tommy sat obediently next to him. He took out the kettle from his bag, uncovered the lid, poured water on the lid, and handed it over.

The corner of Xu Xu's mouth twitched triumphantly, thinking that although this male assistant is not handsome, a rough man can't be so meticulous. It is always a blessing to have someone who cares about him when he is away from home. I heard Tommy say coquettishly: "Master Li, you have worked hard, drink some water."

After finishing speaking, he bypassed Xu Xu and handed the water to Li Jingxing's mouth.

Li Jingxing didn't speak, and didn't even give the other party a look. He dug out the water bottle in his backpack by himself, and gulped it down several times.

Tommy withdrew his hand awkwardly, and put the water in front of himself. He didn't drink it, and it would be embarrassing not to drink it.

Xu Xu felt ashamed at first, but when he saw the situation, his face beamed with joy, and he pinched his mouth: "It seems that grass on the wall is not easy to be, and Taoist priests are not good at it."

"Hmph, do you think being a good boy can work anywhere? Didn't you want to seek protection." Huang Qianqian saw that Tommy had gone to serve others, and she was very angry, so she scrambled along.

"Aren't you afraid of death? Didn't I get fired by you? Everyone is equal now," Tommy shrugged and retorted, "I've been by your side for the past few years, and I think I've done my best, but I still can't understand your thunder Point, I have long been fed up with your volatile temper. If you are in a good mood, you will reward me with a few nice words. If you are in a bad mood, you will fling your face and curse at others. Do you really think you are a princess? I don’t think you have that life, but I have princess disease, and I will never suffer from such a useless attitude in the future."

"You... Let me tell you, Tommy, don't be arrogant, I will make it impossible for you to hang out in this circle!"

"The most poisonous woman's heart." Xiao Fei looked at Huang Qianqian with disgust: "Being your assistant will not end well, look at Xiao..."

"Xiao Fei!" Shen Chenghai became excited, a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat, and he coughed violently.

Xiao Fei snorted, and suppressed what he wanted to say.

Huang Qianqian saw that Xiao Fei was about to yell at her again, so she scolded her on the spot, her words were extremely sharp.

Xu Xu tore a piece of bread and threw it into his mouth, thinking, this woman's EQ is really worrying.

Li Jingxing didn't take it seriously, he stood up, patted the bread crumbs on his body, and walked away without saying a word.

Seeing this, the others stopped arguing, and were so shocked that they immediately put away their things and followed behind.

Only when we approached can we see the whole picture of the whole village.

This dilapidated village is empty, located in a rugged valley, built against the mountains, and the road is extremely difficult to walk.

There is a thousand-year-old mulberry tree outside the village. The huge roots are half buried in the ground and half exposed. The roots are like tentacles, entangled with stone piles one after another, and have been through many vicissitudes.

"Damn! No wonder people are all dead." Xu Xu scolded: "It's a feng shui taboo."

"Go in and have a look." Li Jing walked in front.

Everyone passed the mulberry tree, all marveling at its size, only to hear Xiao Fei ask: "The mulberry tree is not a tree of the five shades, what taboo has it committed?"

"It turns out that you still understand the trees of the five shades, I really can't see it." The smile on Xu Xu's face disappeared: "It is mentioned in "Yi Shan Gong Lu": do not plant mulberries in the front, do not plant willows in the back, in the courtyard Clap your hands if you don’t plant ghosts. It refers to the other three kinds of unknown trees except the tree of the five shades. Mulberry tree likes shade and is mostly used near the ancestral hall. It must not be planted before the Yangzhai.

"I understand, but willow has no other homonyms. I remember learning a poem when I was studying. Jasper is made up to the height of a tree, and ten thousand green silk ribbons hang down. I don't know who cuts out the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors." Tommy scratched the back of his head and asked, "The willow tree is supposed to be a symbol of spring."

"Put it in literature, it might be quite artistic, but in metaphysics and feng shui, what hangs down is not a green silk ribbon." Xu Xu showed off his metaphysics, bluffing people one after another.

"What's that?" Tommy asked curiously.

"Calling the Soul Banner." Xu Xu lifted his chin and smiled triumphantly.

The muscles on Tommy's face twitched a few times, obviously frightened, but he still couldn't help being curious about these ghosts, and continued to ask: "Then what do you mean by clapping hands without planting ghosts in the courtyard?"

"Poplar trees have many leaves, and when the wind blows, they make noises. The sound is hoarse and ghostly. Think about it, this kind of sound is okay during the day, but it is quite different at night. The shadows of the leaves sway with the wind, and the sound is very scary. , like a ghost clapping its hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, his arm was hugged by someone.

Xu Xu turned his head and saw that Tommy, a sissy, was actually more feminine than Huang Qianqian. His arms were like octopus tentacles, with their own suction cups, and he couldn't shake them off even after several times.

"Hey, men and women are not clear about giving and receiving, you let go." Xu Xu said angrily.

"Just catch it for a while." Tommy was so frightened that he didn't hear the other party's jokes, and couldn't care less about it. He pointed out a finger pitifully: "I'm afraid."

Xu Xu felt a chill in his stomach, goosebumps all over his body, and thought, it would be fine if Huang Qianqian pounced on him, ugly is a bit ugly, but she is still a woman, she can eat some tofu.

Now the one holding his arm was a sissy, flat-chested man. Thinking of this, he became very angry, and kicked the other man's calf.

Looking at Tommy who was kicked away, Xu Xu roared: "It's useless for you to sacrifice your appearance here, I'll just play tricks, the one who can really protect you is a Taoist priest, if you have the guts, try to win Li Jingxing." Try, he won't screw your head off?!"

Tommy glanced at Li Jingxing who was full of seriousness, but he didn't dare to act, feeling extremely wronged.

"Xu Xu, if you talk nonsense again, I'll screw your head off." Li Jingxing turned his head and pointed not far away, and said in a deep voice, "Sure enough, you are right, all the trees here are extremely dark .”

His words made everyone tremble. They only felt chills in their backs, and a cloud of yin rose from the soles of their feet.

"The entire village is planted with locust trees, elm trees, mulberry trees and poplar trees. These trees are shade-loving and have a long lifespan. They tend to live with them, and the most troublesome thing is the pagoda tree, with its thick branches, which later cover the sky and block the sun from entering." Li Jingxing speculated: "It seems that no one will live in this village."

"Should I die." Xu Xu walked to Li Jingxing's side, and gave him a wink: "Go, let's go to the house to check."

"Don't rush in here. A natural shade has been formed here. It's very easy to get into trouble if you're not careful. Now the compass is out of order, and it's all winding mountain trails. It's very complicated. We need to spend more time to find the old ghost." Li Jingxing Stopped: "But even so, don't be reckless."

"It's a terrible place!" Huang Qianqian desperately shook her head: "Well, please make a price, please, take me out, I don't want to stay here for a minute."

"I don't do everything based on money." After Li Jingxing finished speaking, he walked up the valley without looking back.

"I really want to take this sky-high business. It's a pity. In my heart, you are the first person who can devalue the RMB." Xu Xu shrugged, showing a playful smile, and Huang Qianqian clenched her lower lip in anger. .

The houses in the village are old and look old. The walls have been washed yellow by the wind and rain, like old smoky photos. Part of the walls are hollowed out, and there are several collapsed latrines.

The houses are connected with stone slabs, moss is everywhere on the slope, and there is water under the stone slabs, and the sound of water flow can be heard clearly.

"It seems that we are going to throw stones to ask for directions." Li Jingxing bowed his hands respectfully outside the gate of a house, took out the ink fountain and flicked it seven times before entering the room with his left foot first.

Others followed suit, looking around, with different expressions, as if a guide had brought a group of tourists.

"This house was well built," Xu Xu said, "it's a complete insult to the Feng Shui pattern."

"How to say?" Shen Chenghai held back for a long time before asking: "Is the orientation wrong?"

"The doors and windows face each other, the hallway is evil, the stove is seen when entering the house, the fire is evil, and besides, hanging a mirror in front of the bed, and the bedside facing the window are all typical taboos in Yang houses." Suppose it doesn't attract ghosts to haunt you."

Li Jingxing ignored his thoughts, walked to the middle of the house, squatted on the ground, took out a copper bowl from his bag, poured water into it, grabbed a handful of rice, and said to the others:

"Please leave the room temporarily."

"Master Li, can't you take a look?" Shen Chenghai discussed well: "We are also very curious about this."

"It's fine, but there will be a fee." Xu Xu laughed dryly.

"Yes." Li Jingxing said smoothly.

Xu Xu was overjoyed, it seemed that this Taoist priest had begun to practice Taoism, he knew the truth that money can make ghosts pervert, and he realized the importance of money, which is really a welcome change.

"It's okay, we can pay." Xiao Fei and Shen Chenghai looked at each other and immediately agreed.

"I am an orthodox Taoist priest, and my Yang fire is inherently high, so there are no taboos, but if you want to see the evil, you have to lower your Yang fire." Li Jingxing said seriously, "That's why I charge a lot."

"It's easy to say." Shen Chenghai smiled openly.

Xu Xu rubbed his hands and was about to make an offer when Li Jingxing said in a deep voice.

"What I receive is your lifespan and blessings."
