I heard you were pressed by a ghost

In a small town full of gunpowder, most of the shops on both sides of the street have closed doors, and the bluestone slabs are in a mess.Occasionally, a figure sneaked across the street corner and quickly disappeared into the shadows.

It's like a dead town.

Yuan Dong bent down to pick up the plaque on the ground and put it on the small cart beside him.

This place is not quite like the village infested by the living dead before. It is obvious that this place has just experienced the cruelty of war.But when I looked carefully, I felt that it was not just that, could there be living dead here?

There are many bloody handprints on the door of the shop, as well as some creepy scratches.There are many commodities scattered on the ground, all of which are stained with blood, and most of them have been trampled to deformity.But what is strange is that there is no corpse around, and there are only a few places with large pools of blood.It's as if... the corpse was taken away by something.

"what is this?"

Yuan Dong picked up the white strip on the ground, there were some ghostly symbols on it, which seemed to be written in blood.These white strips were randomly discarded on the road, mixed with messy goods, not very conspicuous.

When Xiao Muqing saw it, her face changed slightly, and she slammed the white strip off Yuan Dong's hand.He raised his head and said to Yuan Dong: "This kind of thing is unlucky, don't touch it randomly."

"Okay, I see." Yuan Dong nodded in agreement.

But Ji Yuan picked up the white strip that was slapped on the ground by Xiao Muqing, looked at it carefully for a while, then turned his head and said: "This should be a spell of a certain Taoist school, but it may be because of some special reason that it is too late to prepare a special spell." paper, so it can only be written on ordinary white strips.”

Yuan Dong wanted to take it over and take a closer look, but he caught a glimpse of Xiao Muqing's unhappy face out of the corner of his eye, and immediately withdrew his hand, only craned his neck to look.

"Then can the spell written on plain white paper still work?" Yuan Dong was a little puzzled.

In the past, Mu Qing used only high-quality talisman paper, and he had never seen him write talismans on white slips.Yuan Dong thought that being a Taoist priest would always be well-prepared.I didn't expect Taoist priests to write spells on white strips... How poor is this Taoist priest!

Ji Yuan shook his head, "I'm not sure about this, maybe this Taoist priest is also at the end of his rope, and a dead horse should be a living horse doctor."

"Humph!"

Little Mu Qing, who had always been taciturn, was uncharacteristically, like a real, young child, angry because he couldn't get something he wanted.

This made Yuan Dong laugh.

Ji Yuan bowed his head and made a shameful expression, "It's really a lack of talent and learning. The poor monk has never learned Taoist magic, so he doesn't study it deeply."

"It's okay, it's okay! Jiyuan, you are already very good, so stop striving for perfection."

Yuan Dong knew that Xiao Muqing was a little unhappy, so he immediately took the other's little hand.First appease Xiao Mu Qing, who is furious, and then verbally comfort Ji Yuan.

The scene was a little awkward.

But one is the future husband and the other is the current friend.

Of course I want to...prefer sex over friends!

But just use the white strip to write the spell... so bold and unrestrained, I feel a bit like Uncle Liu Xuan. Could it be that he is nearby?

Yuan Dong cheered up all of a sudden, "Let's go, let's finish the work quickly, I still want to find someone else."

He and Xiao Muqing held hands and crossed the street full of obstacles in a tacit cooperation.The two seem to be that intimate, regardless of each other.

Ji Yuan stood still behind them, staring at their intimate appearance with a mocking expression on his face.With a sneer, thick black mist continuously appeared in his eyes, and they almost swallowed the whites of his eyes completely!

"Ji Yuan, what are you still dawdling about?"

Yuan Dong felt that there had been no movement behind him, and when he looked back, he found that Ji Yuan was stuck in place like a piece of wood, so he had to call out to him loudly.

The young man's clear and sweet voice brought Ji Yuan back to his sanity.

Ji Yuan looked down at the white strip, threw it away, and said contemptuously, "Oh, it's a small trick."

Searching for the few fuzzy memories in his mind, Yuan Dong finally found the Yuan family mansion before the sun went down.

This area should be the so-called rich people's area in the town, it is different from the small rubble and low houses passing by just now.This is a large building complex with obvious southern Fujian architectural style, with cornices and red brick walls.It can be seen that the status of the people living here is either rich or noble.

"It turns out that he is really a rich young master!"

Yuan Dong knocked on the door with emotion, maybe it was because he enjoyed too much wealth in this life, which made him so poor in his later life.After waiting for a long time, I heard the sound of walking.

"Who?"

An old voice came softly from behind the door.

"Is it the butler? It's me, Yuan Dong, I'm back." Yuan Dong leaned closer to the door, and could only see a little brown hem.

There was a bit of joy in the old voice, "It's Master Yuan Dong! Why are you back!"

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of multiple bolts and chains being undone, and the door finally opened.

A wrinkled face suddenly approached Yuan Dong's eyes, he was startled suddenly, and his muscles tensed and he took a few steps back.But the butler didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with him, and supported Yuan Dong excitedly.

"Young master, why are you back!" The butler didn't wait for Yuan Dong's answer, he lowered his head and glanced left and right quickly, and dragged Yuan Dong to the gate, "Quick, come in!"

Yuan Dong was hurt by the old man's withered, eagle-clawed hands, he could only try to control the expression on his face, completely unaware of how he got in.

As soon as the four of them entered, the old man closed the door immediately.

There was a knocking sound outside the door!

"Dong dong!"

"No, the ghost soldiers are here!"

The old man's complexion changed drastically, his pupils shrunk slightly, and he quickened his movements, quickly fastening more than a dozen door bolts and chains.His movements are so sensitive that he doesn't look like an old man with gray hair and wrinkled face.

"Young master, follow me." The old man grabbed Yuan Dong's wrist again, and led them vigilantly into the house from the shadows.

From when they entered the gate to when something knocked on it to when they ran into the house, it was just a breath.

too fast!

Yuan Dong was completely in a state of bewilderment.

"Oh...young master, why are you back! Didn't the master send you a letter? You shouldn't have come back at this time!" The old man sighed helplessly and turned to ask Yuan Dong.

How could Yuan Dong say that he came here to fulfill the original owner's wish?

He took the old man's hand away with a sneer, with a sincere expression, "I can't just leave like this. My mother has died of illness, and my father is also dying if he stays here alone. Why don't you go with me? I don't worry about him. If you want to go, go together !"

Yuan Dong silently said three times in his heart, Mom, I'm sorry, Dad, I was wrong!

"You! Sigh..." The old man sighed heavily, "If only the young master had been so sensible earlier!"

Yuan Dong didn't know much about the past of the original owner, so he had no choice but to not answer. He changed the subject and said, "That's right, butler, do you know what happened in this town? What was that outside just now?"

"It's... a ghost soldier, cough cough..."

A middle-aged man with a stooped back came out from behind the screen. His breathing was unsteady, his face was pale, and he was wearing a cane.

"Father!" Yuan Dong hurried up to meet him, and helped the middle-aged man to sit down beside him.Pat him on the back to help the other person, "Why are you so sick?"

"It's okay, you're still so willful. I told you to leave, why didn't you leave? Didn't you clamor before to become a monk and leave!" Father Yuan raised his head and asked.

"I used to be young and frivolous and ignorant. Now the world has changed drastically and my mother has passed away. I really can't worry about you." Yuan Dong knew that he couldn't say more, he had to send Yuan's father to a safe place before telling him. he truth.Turning to point to Ji Yuan and Xiao Muqing, he said, "The friends I met in the temple, this is little master Ji Yuan, and this is Xiao Muqing."

Father Yuan nodded, and looked at Ji Yuan first, "Hello, little master, Yuan Dong is causing you trouble in the temple."

Ji Yuan clasped his hands together, "You don't have to be polite, the benefactor, it's our fate to be able to get along with the little benefactor for several months."

Father Yuan smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Xiao Muqing and said, "This little boy is really handsome, even cuter than Yuan Dong's childhood."

Little Muqing replied with a rare smile: "Yuan Dong should have been cuter when he was young."

"No way! He..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by violent impact.

The creases on the housekeeper's face almost wrinkled together, "Master, the ghost soldiers are here! Go back to the cellar."

"Okay, let's go."

As soon as Yuan's father finished speaking, the sky outside suddenly dimmed, almost to the point where he couldn't see his fingers.The gust of wind roared without warning, blowing everyone's hair messy, and the doors and windows slammed.

The housekeeper hurriedly helped Yuan's father up, "Young master, come with me!"

Yuan Dong walked behind, turned his head and glanced out the window again, at this time the sky was actually lit up again, but it was glowing with a strange red light.Something flew across the sky quickly, and a man's scream suddenly came from outside.

He didn't dare to look any more, and staggered to keep up with the butler.

A group of people groped their way to the cellar, where a lot of food was stored, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.

"What's going on here? Didn't it mean that there is a war here? What about the ghost soldiers you just mentioned?" Yuan Dong asked without waiting to sit down.

The housekeeper lit the kerosene lamp, "Oh...it's a long story. We are near the Binbin River, and when the Japanese pirates attacked, this place was the first to bear the brunt. Originally, there were officers and soldiers stationed here, and we ordinary people were not affected too much. However... ...About a month ago, for some reason, many ghost soldiers appeared outside!"

"Ghost soldiers?" Yuan Dong heard this term for the first time.

"Yes, ghost soldiers! They can't be killed, and it's useless to cut off their heads! They also have a mount that looks like a vulture, and they only attack at night!" The old man's voice was full of fear, a little sharp, hoarse and terrible.

"Vulture? Still can't kill... so powerful?" Yuan Dong was shocked.

No wonder there was not a single corpse on the ground, but there was a large pool of blood. It turned out that the vultures took all the corpses away.

But what about those ghost soldiers?

The living dead people I met before were already against the sky, but I didn't expect that there would be a living dead 2.0... a ghost soldier who couldn't be killed even if his head was beheaded came online.

How does this make ordinary people live?

Yuan Dong couldn't help swallowing, "So... how many survivors are there now?"

"I don't know." The housekeeper shook his head, "The Yuan family's mansion was attacked by ghost soldiers once before. The servants and workers died or fled, and they all disappeared. As for the other people in the town... I'm afraid it's a disaster." few!"

Yuan Dong gasped, and sure enough...it's dead!
