A knife in love

Chapter 1240

Murong Danyan frowned, and said: "Sister Xiaoyu, you have talked about the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts many times tonight. But until now, I haven't figured out what the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts is all about. Yang Guang killed Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and these people also turned into ghosts, wanting to rush into the imperial city to find Li Shimin took revenge. You also said that there are also ghosts walking around at night in the Wuliang Temple of Old Mangshan, so it’s not possible that after Yang Jian, Yang Yong, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji became ghosts, they ran from the Central Plains to the outside of the pass, and went to haunt Wangjiazhuang?"

Hearing Murong Danyan's words, Wang Xiaoyu was startled for a moment, then burst out laughing, and said to Murong Danyan: "My sister will be wrong. What I said about the ghosts at night, I don't just mean that Yang Jian, Yang Yong and others were killed by Yang Jian. The Yang clan that Guang killed was not the ghosts of Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, etc. who were killed by Li Shimin. Those who were extremely resentful died, and refused to be reincarnated. , harming the people of the world, and waiting for an opportunity to avenge people, can be called a hundred ghosts but not named. These evil ghosts only wander around at night. It is called 'Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night'. The ghosts at the foot of the Old Man Mountain were not originally from it, but the Khitan people who were burned alive by the Jin people in the Wuliang Hall and the Jin soldiers who were burned to death by the Tartar soldiers refused to be convinced after death. Turn into a ghost and harm people here."

Murong Danyan shook his head repeatedly and said: "The theory of ghosts and gods is very vague after all. To be honest, I have also encountered many strange and strange things after I wandered in the rivers and lakes. I have seen people who died more than a hundred years ago appear alive before my eyes But in the end, I found out that these so-called ghosts are all illusions deliberately created by someone. There are no ghosts and gods in the world, and there are only illusions in front of you. These are nothing to worry about."

Wang Xiaoyu said: "If I hadn't seen the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts with my own eyes, I would naturally have the same thoughts as my sister. But when I saw those evil ghosts, I realized that these legends are absolutely not false."

When Wang Xiaoyu said this, he took a deep breath, and continued: "After I walked out of the yard, there was no one on the road. It was already afternoon, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the surroundings were extremely dark, like night. It's almost normal. The ghost cicada jumped around. I saw that I was going to catch it several times, but I was always a little bit short, and it escaped. In this way, I want to catch it even more to vent my anger. So one ran away and the other chased, and before I knew it, I had already walked a long way. When I raised my head inadvertently, I saw a high wall standing in front of me.

"I was taken aback, and when I looked closely, I realized that I had chased the cicada all the way to the easternmost end of Wangjiazhuang. Our Wangjiazhuang sits east and west, and Old Man Mountain is two or three miles east of Zhuangzi. More than ten miles away Years ago, after Daddy and others met the evil spirits at the foot of Old Man Mountain, they worried that the people in Zhuangzi would be harmed by evil spirits, so they built a stone wall about ten feet high at the easternmost end of Zhuangzi to block the passage from Zhuangzi to Old Man Mountain. I was so focused on chasing the ghost cicada that I got under the stone wall.

"At that time, the sky was dark, and there seemed to be lightning flashing among the dark clouds in the northern sky. There was a very dull 'gurgling' sound in my ear, and I thought it was thunder in the distance. I also covered it up. Although my father saw the evil spirits of Old Man Mountain with his own eyes, perhaps because I was still young, he was worried that I would be afraid, so he never talked about these things with me. But when the servants at home chatted, I also I heard many stories about ghosts haunting the Wuliang Temple at the foot of the old man’s mountain. So when I suddenly saw the wall in front of me, I was so scared that I almost fell to the ground. At that time, there was no one around, and the world was dark again. , The situation was extremely strange. I was terrified and anxious, and wanted to turn around and flee back home. But the ghost cicada was lying on the wall and suddenly screamed, as if it was laughing at me.

"I was so angry that I picked up the mud and stone flakes from the ground and threw them towards the stone wall. The cicada was hit by the stone flakes and immediately fell to the ground. I hurriedly chased after it, trying to kick it Stamped to death. But this ghost cicada was struggling to die, flapped its wings and flew up, and barely flew to the top of the wall.

"I was so angry that I completely forgot about the legend about Laoweng Mountain being haunted. I just wanted to catch and kill this damn ghost cicada. But it flew to the top of the wall, and I couldn't catch it. My heart became more and more anxious. At first I picked up mud and rocks and threw it at it, but it was extremely difficult to hit it lying on the top of the wall. However, although it barked once or twice from time to time, it never moved. It was hit by a piece, and I couldn't move it. I was so focused on catching it and killing it, I completely forgot that there were Old Man Mountain and Wuliang Temple outside the wall.

"After a while, I threw away all the clods and stones on the ground, and I couldn't find a suitable weapon for a while. I was anxious and wanted to go farther to find some more stones. Throwing it at the ghost cicada, I accidentally found a ladder at the door of a house on the right. I was overjoyed, so I walked over on tiptoe, carried the ladder over, and put it on the stone wall. The top was just right I reached the top of the wall. I saw that ghost cicada still neighing on the top of the wall, and I thought that I would catch you and roast you to death on the fire, to see if you still scream."

When Murong Danyan heard her speak viciously, she didn't take it seriously, thinking that Sister Xiaoyu was clever, but sometimes she acted too viciously.Presumably, she was regarded as the apple of the eye by Wang Yuanwai since she was a child, and it was only then that she developed a temperament of being an uncompromising young lady.She was so annoyed by the cicada's teasing that she wanted to catch the cicada and roast it to death, but it was just a childish outburst, which was not surprising.

Wang Xiaoyu continued: "Although the ghost cicada was lying motionless on the top of the wall, I was still worried that it would escape. So after setting up the ladder, I slowly climbed up, trying not to make a sound. Treat me as a I was about to climb to the top of the wall, and the cicada was right in front of my eyes. I was overjoyed, and thought to myself where I could escape this time. But I stretched out my right hand, and I was about to hold it in my hand, but the cicada With a hard jump, he jumped out of the wall and landed on a piece of weeds.

"I was furious, and my mind was in chaos for a moment. At that time, I only thought of catching this ghost cicada and killing it, and I had no other scruples. So I stepped on the ladder and climbed to the top of the wall, looking at the ghost cicada. The wild grass that the ghost cicada was lying on, jumped off the wall."

When Murong Danyan heard this, he couldn't help but "ah", and said in his mouth: "Sister Xiaoyu, even if you want to jump out of the wall, the only sure way is to put the ladder from the inside of the wall to the outside of the wall. Otherwise, you will be caught How did that cicada return to Zhuangzi?"

Wang Xiaoyu sighed, and said: "I was still young at that time, how could I be so thoughtful when doing things? And I was so mad by that ghost cicada, I acted without any scruples. When my feet stepped on In the weeds, one staggered and fell forward, almost fell to the ground, looking extremely embarrassed. When I got up from the ground in a hurry, how could there be the shadow of the ghost cicada in front of me? I was shocked and angry, I searched for the ghost cicada in the surrounding weeds. At that time, the clouds were overwhelming and the sky was so dark that I couldn't see anything more than a dozen steps away. In addition, the weeds outside the wall were knee-high, so I couldn't find the ghost cicada. where.

"I rummaged around in the weeds, and unknowingly walked forward more than ten feet. At this moment, I suddenly heard a very low 'woo-woo' sound from behind. I was startled and turned my head. Looking around, I saw two green lights flashing away among the weeds more than ten steps away. I was shocked, and remembered that when the servants at home were chatting, they once said that there was a giant snake in the field outside the village. Yu Zhang's eyes are like lamps, and they can emit light. What I fear most in my life is snakes. When I saw these two green lights, I was frightened out of my wits. I can't even go out.

"At this moment, I heard the sound of 'woo-woo' again, and a black dog's head appeared in the grass. The two green lights were its eyes. Then a wild dog slowly came out from the grass, With its bloody mouth open, the dog's eyes showed a fierce light, staring at me viciously, as if it would pounce on me at any moment.

"I saw this wild dog with fierce eyes. If it rushed up to bite, it would have to be killed by it. Fortunately, although I am afraid of snakes, I am not very afraid of dogs. Therefore, I noticed that my legs are not as sore and limp as before. Powerless, I turned around and ran away. At that time, I was in a panic, I just wanted to run away, but I didn’t see which direction to run. I could only hear the wind whistling in my ears, and the wild dogs behind me hissing and roaring, and the sound was getting farther and farther away from me close……"
