That day, he was pacing back and forth in the mansion restlessly. Suddenly, the butler hurried over and told him that his friend was looking for him.

Because of his own sister, he knows that there are many people clinging to him, but there may be no friends who treat him sincerely.But his friend is an exception, not to mention the bamboo horse, his friend's father is still the prime minister of the court, so he is a little inferior in terms of status.At this time, his friend came over, presumably because the news he inquired about had some clues.Thinking of this, his face, which had been frowning for several days, finally relaxed, and the stone in his heart loosened.

"Maolin, you... are here."

Xu Maolin didn't come alone, beside him was a beautiful girl with a slender figure and a delicate and gentle face, but a pair of arrogant eyes destroyed the beauty of this appearance. Come tenderness.

"Is that him?" The girl lazily stroked the pearl tassels hanging by her ears, and as soon as she rolled her arrogant eyes, he passed out. When he woke up again, he was already in a cave with an unpleasant smell.He struggled to get up from the rough ground, looking around blankly.

"Is anyone there?" It was very dark around, and he couldn't see the specific situation. He could only determine his environment by smell.It seems to be a cell built in a cave, he thought uncertainly.

There was a strange laugh from Jie Jie, and a hoarse old voice said to him: "There is no one here, only ghosts."

"Ghost?" He touched around in panic, the touch was warm, the temperature of a living person!

The laughter continued, and some vague voices also joined in. He has always been healthy and healthy since he was born, and he has never encountered such a thing before, and he fainted again under the fright.

This made the people who were used to the darkness in the cave, and those who were waiting to see the newcomer's jokes, were inexplicable at first, and then all kinds of laughter burst out at the same time, and some people even had a vicious gleam in their eyes.They looked at the person who was paralyzed and passed out, and their gloating thoughts emerged endlessly.

The misery I live, I want others to be miserable too. The people in the cave have long lost their compassion in the day-to-day, year-after-year detention life. When the new ones are thrown in, they will only let out a few laughs, and then continue to be half-dead without knowing the so-called continuation.

Lin Xiuyuan woke up amidst a burst of noise. When he first woke up, he was still a little dazed. After a while, he finally figured out where he was.He couldn't stop being afraid, but until the fear was useless, he suppressed the soreness in his eyes. He raised his head and looked around, and saw dark figures in the darkness with their backs bent and their hands reaching for the fluorescent light.

After being in the dark for a long time, the eyes will adapt to the dark, and so did he.He got up from the ground and stumbled towards the little light source.With a soft bang, he bumped into the wooden railing of the prison cell, touched his painful forehead, and pouted. He didn't complain like before, but leaned against the wooden railing, trying to see clearly ahead with all his strength. .

A little fluorescent light, lit like drops of light, it was this little light that allowed him to see clearly what was happening in front of him.

The thin man like a skeleton was dragged out of the cell like a dead dog, and thrown outside heavily. During the whole process, the man didn't struggle or make a sound. On the contrary, judging from the smile on his mouth, he seemed very happy .

happy?What is he happy about?With this question in mind, he continued to read.One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven people were dragged out, but to his surprise everyone was happy, as if they were not being dragged out, but rescued.

This is so weird, so weird!He muttered to himself, sat down slowly, and looked listlessly at the boundless darkness around him.

"Do you want to know what's going on here?" A clear and crisp voice came from the front left of him, he was startled, and said meaningfully: "I think, I think."

"There is no such thing as a free lunch, what can you exchange for it?"

What can be replaced?He touched his sleeve and asked uncertainly, "Is the token okay?"

"Token? What token?"

"Pass token." He smiled wryly, and took out a palm-sized gilt token from his sleeve, on which was written a word of order with an iron hook in seal script.

"Hey, you are a relative of the emperor, aren't you?" The voice laughed, and he actually felt a little wretched in his ears.If it was in the past, he would definitely ignore him, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and now he has to endure it no matter how unwilling he is.

He hummed and asked, "Do you want a token?"

"Yes, of course." The voice was so excited that the ending of the last word was a little distorted.

He suppressed his displeasure and threw the token to the front left, then waited expectantly for him to say.

"Hey hey." A burst of uncomfortable laughter came, getting louder and crazier.

He frowned and listened impatiently for a while, seeing that he had no intention of stopping, he heheed twice, lay down on the ground, his eyes stared at the dark void without sadness or joy, thinking what happened to his sister?With the new emperor on the throne, his sister's life must be difficult.Alas, he can't do anything in this unknown place, doesn't know anything, and can't do anything except worry.

"Aren't you annoyed that he took your things and didn't say a word?" The person who had talked to him before saw that he was not annoyed, and felt that he was not like those people before, so he was upset, so he asked him.

He said boredly: "Why are you annoyed? He is not honest, it is his business, why should I be annoyed." He only felt the harsh laughter now, and then felt that the ground he was lying on was too hard, and his whole body was lying on it. uncomfortable.

"You can think about it."

Can you think about it?take things too hard?It's all the same thing, since something happened, no matter how hard you think about it, you can't stop it from happening, if this is the case, don't think too much about it.

He turned over on his side, lying on his side on the ground, sighed, and closed his eyes.No matter what happens next, it's never wrong to rest a lot.

"Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry."

"Are you thirsty?"

"Not thirsty."

"Do you know why?"

"do not know."

The man started to ask and answer by himself, saying that the person who had taken his token would laugh twice in response to the occasion, talking and laughing, it was extraordinarily weird in such darkness.

He remained motionless, allowing the weird self-talk and laughter to continue.But he was comparing in his heart, and the more he compared, the more frightened he was. Although he didn't know what time it was, but he came to Xu Maolin after he got up in the mansion, and it took about an hour or two. It is possible that he is not hungry, but he is not thirsty. It's very wrong.

There was a bone-chilling chill in his heart, but he still didn't move and chose to continue listening.

"People will be thirsty and hungry, but it is not people who must be hungry."

not human?what is that?Ghost?

As if knowing what he was thinking, the voice continued: "You are neither a human nor a ghost, you are food."

food?Recalling the inexplicable coma in the mansion before, and looking at the current situation, he wondered if he had become a captive of evil cultivators.He doesn't have many hobbies, but he likes to go to the teahouse every morning to listen to the anecdotes told by the gentleman who read the book. Hearing these stories makes him feel less boring in life and allows himself to live happily.

He had heard many interesting stories, among which there was only one about evil cultivators, and only that time he felt that danger was everywhere.That morning when it rained heavily, he held an umbrella and led others to the teahouse. After drinking a cup of hot tea, he quietly read the storyteller and told a different story.

'There is a mountain in Ping'an capital, and there lives a benevolent and charitable man at the foot of the mountain. The great benevolent family has a thousand hectares of fertile land and a pair of sons and daughters. The one born is called Yuxue, who looks like a boy from the fairy palace.On that day, the moon was dark and the stars were dim during the Ghost Festival. With a bang, a black shadow rushed from the street into the mansion of the great philanthropist. The neighbors only heard a few screams. When they got up early the next day, they saw, alas, That was a horrible sight.In Dashanren's house, the windows were wide open, the doors were wide open, and the blood flowed across the bluestone boards, and the pungent bloody smell lingered for a long time.The neighbors called the yamen servants, and after some investigation, they found that everyone in the house had died, but the bodies were gone, and they had no choice but to seal the house.

Time flies and never returns, and it’s the Hungry Ghost Festival again, the streets and streets of Dashanren’s house are deserted, and after such weird things happened, those with money moved out on that street, and those without money continued to live in it. This, but easily dare not make a sound.That day, dark clouds covered the sun, and after a while, it poured down like pouring rain.Lightning like a silver snake suddenly appeared in the dark sky, and the sound of thunder rumbling like a drum rumbled in the ears. This scene was usually scary, not to mention that it was the Ghost Festival that night.

Lightning and thunder intertwined for a whole night. At dawn, the sun first appeared, and the street that had rained all night was so clean that the neighbors were startled when they went out.

Well, do you know what they were taken aback by?They were frightened by the smoky broken buildings and broken walls.The mansion of the great good man used to be full of pavilions and corridors. Although it was a little dilapidated after a year, the structure that should have existed was still there. Now that mansion has turned into ruins.

At first, the neighbors thought it was caused by the lightning and thunder last night, but after a closer look, they didn't think so.Thunderstorms would not cover such a large area, and they took a closer look and found that the walls of the mansion were intact, but the buildings inside seemed to be struck by lightning. This is unreasonable!

But no matter how unreasonable, the neighbors living in this area still have to keep it in their hearts, because they have to go out to work and have food and water.At noon, the neighbors who went out to work knew what was going on in the Dashanren's mansion from the discussions in the streets and alleys.

Last night, including last year's Hungry Ghost Festival, what happened in the Dashanren's mansion was, in the final analysis, two words - evil cultivation!
