Chapter 106 104. Entering the "Carpenter's Shop" by Mistake (Da Chapter - Subscribe)
At night, there is no village in front and no shop behind.
The moon is in the sky, the wild fog is sweeping the ground, the road ahead is vast, and the sight is unclear.
On such a lonely road in the wilderness, a carriage was still running fast. Seeing the weather, the driver slowed down and asked a few words behind the curtain, then stopped the carriage and jumped down, tied the carriage to a bare old tree side.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and Li Yuan looked around. It is foggy in winter in Japan, especially in this mountainous place.
"Just spend the night here."
"Yes, sir."
The coachman's name was Wang San, and he belonged to the proprietress. He was not a warrior, but a simple man who was diligent and measured.
After a while, Li Yuan and Wang San were lighting a bonfire together, with Tang Nian helping.
Snapped.
pop
The puppet was holding a lot of firewood. Tang Nian picked up the firewood and threw them into the hot flame one by one.
"Master, miss, it's fine if I come, you guys rest," Wang San said with a silly smile beside him.
Li Yuandao: "Isn't it faster to have more hands? Come together."
Wang San scratched his head and said, "How can this be, you?"
Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, old Wang, let's do your work."
Wang San didn't say anything now, he just felt that my uncle was really kind.
"How long will it take to arrive in Huamo County?" Li Yuan asked casually. He can only control three birds, so he only has three fixed-point sight lines. One is in the mass grave to guard against accidents, and the other is to guard against foreign enemies at the mouth of the antelope. One is guarding against accidents in Baihua Manor, and he can't move these three places, because he doesn't know when something will happen to these three places.Therefore, he had only a vague notion of how far the journey was going.
But Wang San was very clear, at this moment he said: "Master, I should be there tomorrow evening."
After a while, Li Yuan and Tang Nian settled the dinner hastily and got into the carriage.
There is no way to wash in the wilderness, even if you go to the toilet, you have to run far away and hide behind a tree.
Late at night, everything was silent, except for the bonfire that was still burning. The big girl slept in the carriage wrapped in a blanket and leaned against the puppet. After sleeping for a while, seeing that Li Yuan hadn't come, she lifted the curtain like an adult, and looked outside. Door.
Outside the door, under the star river, the young man who looked more like a brother than a adoptive father was sitting by the campfire, holding a dead branch to draw and draw, while looking at the gradually dimming campfire, wondering what he was thinking.
People are mutual.
Tang Nian lost her biological father, but began to feel the sincerity and reconciliation of her adoptive father to her. Even though she couldn't get over her feelings for a while, she still wanted to do something in terms of actions and words.
"Father, profile for the cold, go to bed early." The big girl shouted.
Li Yuan looked back at the big girl at the window of the carriage, and said, "You go to bed first, you can take a rest today, and you can take a bath tomorrow night."
"Niannian is not afraid of suffering." The older girl said with a firm expression, "Father should go to bed early."
After finishing speaking, she pulled up the curtain, put her small palm on the cold puppet's heart in the dark, closed her eyes and whispered softly: "Father, I will change you into the most powerful body, I will definitely do it. "
The next day, the carriage set off.
There was a small accident on the way, and some unsightly bandits intercepted Li Yuan's carriage.
This is a group of bandits full of viciousness, and there is a ninth rank among them. Li Yuan is not polite, let alone talking nonsense, so he just wants to solve it with a few knives.
These bandits are all uneasy factors in the three counties, and if they are killed, they will be killed.
As a result, Tang Nian said, "Father, let me come."
Li Yuan asked the adopted daughter to practice, and then Tang Nian didn't get out of the carriage, let alone look outside the carriage, and directly manipulated the puppets to kill the bandits, leaving no one alive.
The scene was extremely bloody, and the bandits were cut into irregular pieces by the six-sword puppets
Wang San looked at it and trembled, terrified.
Li Yuan regretted a little bit, he thought Tang Nian was just a child at heart, and wanted to become proficient as a puppet, but he didn't expect her to be so direct.
A 12-year-old girl shouldn't do this kind of killing and extermination.
Tang Nian saw Li Yuan's thoughts, and said softly, "Father, Nian Nian is not a flower in a greenhouse."
Li Yuandao: "You are still young."
Tang Nian said "Niannian is not young", and then said: "Thank you foster father."
After all, she leaned sideways to the big puppet she just got into the car, a little stubborn, rebellious, and didn't want to be taught.
Li Yuan didn't bother with this topic, and then said: "In the past few days at Orange Blossom Gate, do you have any good friends?"
He took Tang Nian out because he was afraid that the girl would be withdrawn. Originally, Xiaosheng and Niuniu were her friends, but now the two have stopped communicating.He hoped that Tang Nian would make new friends, so during the few days at the Orange Blossom Gate, he completely let Tang Nian mix with the younger generation of the Orange Blossom Gate.
Tang Nian is interested in toxins, and the Orange Blossom Sect also likes hidden weapons and puppet mechanisms. Both parties are very interested in each other's power, and they have a natural topic of conversation.
In fact, toxins, hidden weapons, puppets, organs, and even assassins are all interlinked, and when combined together, they can form many terrifying killing methods.
This is also the reason why the previous He family wanted to attack the Tang family. As assassins, they wanted to integrate the power of the puppet family.
Holding the big puppet in his arms, Tang Nian said in a cold voice: "Yes, Liu Xiaoyu always comes to me. I ask her about poison, and she pretends to ask me about the puppet."
Li Yuanqi said: "Fake?"
Tang Nian hesitated, but after a few breaths, he said, "The person Liu Xiaoyu is really interested in is the adoptive father. She likes the adoptive father. She wants to be a young mother."
Li Yuan:? ? ? ? ? ?
"She said it herself?"
"No, I thought about it myself every year."
Li Yuan rubbed the older girl's hair, and said: "Don't think about it, Liu Xiaoyu should be eighteen or nineteen this year, you can call her sister."
Now that he has reached the sixth rank, he can no longer have children with ordinary people. His married life is also very good, and the extra point is tied to Yan Niangzi, so he has no plans to take in another woman for the time being.
As for what to do after a hundred years?
Let's talk about it then.
The two chatted intermittently to pass the boring journey.
After a while, they all went their separate ways. Tang Nian leaned on the big puppet, and there was a deep thought in his eyes that did not belong to this age. He was obviously thinking about the calculations of puppetry.
Li Yuan was thinking about the visualization map. The visualization map was a random guess by himself, and he didn't know if there was a big power, but no matter if there was or not, he had to come up with one himself.
He is thinking about what his visualization map should look like, and how it fits into his own life catalog.
Because the robbers delayed some time in the middle, when the carriage arrived at the east gate of Huamo County, it was already dark and the city gate was closed.
Behind the battlements, the scorching light of the brazier pulled the long and short patrolling figures. Apart from the normal city guards, there were also two figures in white sword robes. They were disciples of Frost Sword Sect.
Frost Sword Sect, perhaps because of their skills, only accepts female disciples, so the two inspectors are also a young girl, a middle-aged woman.
"I heard that the ancestor of the blood knife is very young." The girl from the Frost Sword Gate was very curious.
"No matter how young you are, you will be half a hundred years old. You should be called Grandpa." The middle-aged woman of Frost Sword Sect said.
The girl said: "Hey, the sixth grade is really good. They are half a hundred, and they still look like young people. Will they grow old?"
"It is said that they will not." The middle-aged woman thought for a while, "I heard that they will not start aging until they reach the end of their lives."
The two women were talking when they saw a carriage parked under the city.
The sound came from the car.
"Li Yuan, come to visit."
"The Blood Knife Patriarch is here!" The middle-aged woman said, then hurriedly cupped her fists and raised her voice, "Patriarch, wait a moment."
Then he ran down the city "dendenden", urging the guards to open the city gate.
After a while, the city gate opened.
The two women entered the city with a carriage.
Li Yuan got off the car.
The two women said respectfully: "I have seen the ancestor."
"You're welcome, what's your name?"
"Han Ying."
"Pang Qian."
Immediately, a middle-aged female swordsman named Han Ying said: "Father, please follow us."
Li Yuandao: "There is no need to arrange banquets such as washing the wind and dust, and there is no need to arrange special service by maids. I want to meet the noble lady Pang Yuanhua."
He also did some simple homework before he came, knowing that the current head of Shuangjianmen is Pang Yuanhua, the military adviser-type woman who used clever tricks to scare General Qingxiang away when General Qingxiang attacked the city, and that woman is a bit special. The spirit and soul connection on Baique.
Han Ying looked embarrassed and lowered his head slightly.
Pang Qian seemed to be thinking about showing off, and said aside: "Patriarch, Uncle Pang is missing. Now we are all looking for her."
"Pang Qian!" Han Ying said sternly, and then said, "Sorry, Patriarch, the little girl doesn't know what to say."
Li Yuan looked at the middle-aged female swordsman and said, "Why do you say you don't know the severity?"
Han Ying hurriedly bowed and said respectfully: "Patriarch, it was Senior Sister Pang who was in contact with the Blood Knife Sect before, but now that Senior Sister Pang has disappeared, the life catalog has also disappeared. The owner of the sect thought that you would come to the gate, and then you will come back to the gate. I wish I could apologize to you, but I didn't expect this girl to talk so fast that she would say it outright."
"Then who is the head of the family now?" Li Yuan was a little curious.
Han Ying said: "It's my Frost Sword Sect master, Pang Tantai."
Li Yuan's expression was slightly condensed, but he didn't say anything, he just said: "Understood."
Han Ying said: "Patriarch, please follow me."
Li Yuan nodded with a smile, and said: "The guest is up to the owner, Lao Wang, follow this heroine."
On the royal seat, Wang San hurriedly smiled and said, "Understood, master."
After finishing speaking, Li Yuan was about to get into the car, and just as he got on the royal seat, he turned around and shouted, "Miss Pang?"
Pang Qian didn't respond.
Li Yuan called again: "Miss Pang."
Only then did Pang Qian come back to her senses, pointing at herself, she said in a daze, "Did you call me?"
Han Ying next to him said, "Don't be so rude!"
Only then did Pang Qian apologize in fear, and secretly looked at the legendary blood knife ancestor cautiously and curiously, he really looked about the same age as her.
Li Yuanwen said softly: "I'm new here and I'm not familiar with this place, can Miss Pang get in the car and tell me about the customs and customs of Huamo County.
I still have my daughter in the car, not counting as a single man and widow living in the same room, Miss Pang, don't have to worry. "
Pang Qian was very willing to say: "Okay."
Han Ying quickly stopped her and said, "Pang Qian, don't be rude!"
Li Yuandao: "Why are you being rude?"
Han Ying hurriedly said, dare not dare, and let Pang Qian climb into the carriage and get into the carriage.
Tang Nian sat in the corner coldly, stepped aside a little, but immediately sniffed in surprise, because she smelled a faint fragrance from Pang Qian's body, which smelled very good.
Pang Qian lowered her head, and carefully raised her eyes to look at the young Blood Knife Patriarch opposite. It was the first time she saw a sixth-rank, and she was very nervous. She gently pinched the skirt of the sword robe with both hands, and her long legs were tightly together.
Li Yuandao: "Miss Pang."
"Old Ancestor!" Pang Qian raised her head hastily.
"Pang Yuanhua is really missing?"
"That's right, the head of the gate and the teacher of Fuyue Temple disappeared before, and Uncle Pang has been investigating their whereabouts. In the end, nothing was found, but he got a whole body of illness.
A few days ago, the sect master and the mistress suddenly reappeared, but Master Pang disappeared.
At that time, Uncle Pang replied to the letter from Xuedaomen, and Uncle Pang also had the life catalog at that time.
Now she suddenly disappeared, and the sect master and teacher are also looking for her everywhere. "
"Where did the sect master and teacher disappear? Did you go there to look for Miss Pang?"
"I didn't say anything." Pang Qian thought, resting her chin with her fingers, and said, "However... I heard it before, it seems to be in a carpenter's house. There was a series of disappearances in the county before. I went to the carpenter's house to investigate. Later, Master Pang also went there, and got sick as a result.
Everyone was very scared, and some people said that the carpenter's shop was a ghost town, but the door owner and the teacher came back. They said it was not a ghost town, but it was a very magical place, and they just walked around in it. , After the results came out, almost two years have passed outside. "
Li Yuan's pupils shrank, he opened the curtain and looked out the window, Huamo County is quite lively at night, people come and go in the busy market, and there are still people in front of the restaurant shouting "Snow fermented wine, Hengwu Restaurant Snow fermented grains, limited quantity, first come first served".
The Hengwu restaurant has been famous in the three counties for a long time, and there are often restaurants from all over the place to order wine from Hengwu, and the one here is probably one of them.
"parking."
Li Yuan suddenly shouted.
The carriage stopped.
Pang Qian said: "Old Ancestor, do you want to drink?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "No, I want to put the girl down."
"Oh, yes, it's been so long, I'm going down now." Pang Qian stuck out her tongue, opened the curtain, and jumped off the carriage.
Immediately afterwards, the curtain was lifted again, Li Yuan leaned against the window, and shouted: "Miss Han, Miss Pang, since there is no life record here, I will not enter the city. I have important things to do, so I will leave."
These words were too sudden, Han Ying and Pang Qian stayed in place in a daze, unable to react for a while.
Han Ying asked anxiously: "Ancestor, is it because we didn't entertain well? Sect Master, Sect Master, she has already hosted a banquet, and she is waiting for you in front."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Then thank her for me."
After finishing speaking, he put down the curtain and said: "Old Wang, turn around and go back."
Everyone was stunned, even Tang Nian looked at his adoptive father in surprise, not knowing what happened.
"Old King."
Li Yuan snorted coldly.
Lao Wang on the imperial seat finally came to his senses, and the imperial chariot turned around, going in the same direction as it came and went.
"Get out of town, hurry up."
Li Yuan continued.
Lao Wang raised his whip and shouted "Drive", the wheels of the carriage turned quickly, and he arrived in front of the city gate not long after.
Not long after, several fast horses came at the end of the street, and the leader was a woman who was wearing a black sword robe different from ordinary disciples. conspicuous.
After the woman arrived, she dismounted from her horse again, and the city guards hurriedly saluted, shouting "I have seen the sect master".
This is none other than Pang Tantai, the master of Frost Sword Sect.
"Where is the ancestor?"
"The ancestor is out of the city."
"how long?"
"It's almost time for two incense sticks."
"understood."
Pang Tantai's complexion was a little bad, she looked sideways at the two disciples who came to greet her.
Both Han Ying and Pang Qian hurriedly pleaded guilty.
"Forget it, maybe the ancestor has other things." Pang Tantai said, "Tomorrow, I will ask Sanniang to take the two of you. Forget it, I will ask Sanniang to go to the Xuedaomen to apologize and ask clearly by the way."
Outside the city, in the wilderness, the white mist rose again, and the world seemed hazy.
Tang Nian couldn't help asking curiously, "Father, why are we leaving?"
Li Yuandao: "The girl who came up has a corpse smell, didn't you smell it?"
"Corpse stink?" Tang Nian was frightened immediately, his little heart throbbed and he felt cold, the cold air whizzed up, and his whole body subconsciously hugged the cold puppet tightly. She dared to kill, but she was still afraid of ghosts.
She thought about it, and said after a long time: "I only smell the fragrance."
"What kind of scent?"
"Like a kind of vanilla, it's woody."
"But the smell of wood hides the smell of corpses."
Li Yuan closed his eyes and recalled.
He had heard about the serial disappearances in Huamo County for a long time, and that Miss Pang Yuanhua even wrote to ask for help. This time he went there, firstly to refer to the catalog of life, and secondly to chat with Pang Yuanhua missing case.
Pang Yuanhua disappeared. He felt strange at first, and then specially called a disciple to get in the car. As a result, he smelled the stench of the corpse.
"Old Wang, do you smell the smell of corpses?" Li Yuan called out again.
Listening to the conversation in the carriage, the coachman was already frightened, and tremblingly said: "Master Qiqi, I don't have one either."
Li Yuan thought for a while, maybe he had smelled a very faint corpse odor from the crow, so he was sensitive to this odor?
"Master, where are we going now?"
"Look for a wilderness, and spend the night outside tonight."
"Yes, sir."
In the darkness, Li Yuan could only feel goosebumps floating up in rows. Maybe he had experienced it several times before. This time...he was not so scared anymore.
But Tang Nian was terrified, so he moved over to lean on Li Yuan.
"Father, is it really a ghost?"
"As long as there is even the slightest possibility, foster father will not take any risks.
So under the situation just now, the adoptive father chose to go out of the city instead of going to find out knowing the danger. "
"I see. Father-in-law, but what shall we do next? Should we go back to Shanbao County at dawn?"
Li Yuan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Wait for someone first."
"Who is it?"
"Pang Yuanhua."
"Isn't she missing?"
"But that was told to me by a man who stinks of corpses.
The more she said that Pang Yuanhua was missing, the safer Pang Yuanhua might be. "
"What if she doesn't come?"
"Year after year, as long as there is a little possibility, foster father will wait."
Li Yuan looked into the distance, the wasteland was pale by the moonlight.
There are more and more of these damn ghost things, and sooner or later we will face them face to face. Instead of passively facing them, it is better to understand them in advance
The night is getting darker.
Tang Nian hugged Li Yuan's arm, while Li Yuan looked out the window.
The carriage was parked on a high slope, and it happened to be able to observe the surrounding scene. There was a small river behind the high slope. Although it could not be directly drunk, it was still possible to wash things.
In the distance, a white sparrow was flying towards Li Yuan's place from north to south.
Li Yuan gave up the guard of Lingyangkou.
The next day
Clear sky.
When the sun was shining, Tang Nian huddled in the carriage. She felt that she had learned a lot during this journey, and she was still learning.
She had to admit that her adoptive father was really a very special man, not "just a strong man from a small border county" as she had thought before.
She suddenly blushed for what she said earlier, "to defeat the adoptive father", but she still wanted to stick to this goal, as if she were chasing after the adoptive father's back.
Li Yuan, on the other hand, "returned to his old business" and hunted two hares and a pheasant in the wasteland.
Prey is hard to find in deep winter, but this does not include a sixth-rank powerhouse like Li Yuan.
Skillfully lit the fire, cleaned, roasted, and divided the meat.
Such a day passed.
the next day.
The white sparrow has arrived.
Day three.
Li Yuan was sitting on a high slope thinking about the life catalog when a gray-clothed figure hurriedly approached in the distant jungle.
In front of the gray-clothed figure, there is a flying white sparrow.
The gray-clothed figure approached quickly. It was a thin man with his face covered and a hood, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's our first meeting, Miss Pang."
He tried it, but he didn't expect it to succeed.
Pang Yuanhua can see the soul connection on the white bird. She saw the white bird, so she followed the white bird to see herself.
The gray-clothed figure took off the cloth covering his face, revealed his skinny face, leaned forward and said, "It's really Yuan Hua's rudeness to come to see senior in such an ugly manner."
"Cuckoo cuckoo."
Shanbao County, Yinxifang, inner city.
When Tie Sha saw a carrier pigeon land, he raised his hand to beckon, took off the letter paper, and sprinkled a handful of rice.
"An urgent report from Frost Sword Gate. Didn't this ancestor just go to their place? Why did you come to report at this time?"
Tie Sha spread out curiously, his body froze at this sight.
There were four blood-red characters written on the paper, and the handwriting was extremely scribbled, showing the haste of the writer.
The four characters are: There are ghosts, don't come! !
The iron killing suddenly started.
Calculating the time, the ancestor should have arrived in Huamo County.
How can this be good?
The ancestor is completely ignorant. Under such circumstances, he would just plunge into Huamo County head-on, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
But this kind of thing, who can know in advance?
"Damn it, why did you come here at this time?"
Tie Sha paced back and forth, thought for a while and hurried out, and shouted: "Call people, follow me out of the city!"
Shanbao County can't lose his ancestors, although he doesn't know if it's useful to go again at this time, but if he has to go, even if it's too late to meet him outside the county, at least he can find out the truth.
"I didn't expect that senior didn't receive my letter, but he still got away early. Yuan Hua really admires it."
The skinny young lady looked at the young ancestor opposite.
"It's just a fluke." Li Yuan said, "What's going on?"
"We met Ghostland"
"Huamo County, has many people died, or is there a lot of resentment?"
"No. Our Huamo County is not big, there are only four workshops in total, so there is no black market, and even the burial is outside the county." Pang Yuanhua said, "Senior, you want to understand the formation of the ghost domain?"
Li Yuan nodded.
Pang Yuanhua said: "This formation probably has nothing to do with resentment.
The ghost domain in our county is a carpenter's shop.
Anyone who has entered the carpenter's shop will be stared at by the carpenter, and then disappear from the world.
At first, there should have been a few people who entered the carpenter's shop by accident.
Later, many people entered.
This is the truth about the serial disappearances.
After the disappearance happened, I, the Sect Master of Frost Sword Sect, and Master Fuyuean began to investigate. They must have been to the carpenter's shop, so they also disappeared.
Later, more and more people disappeared, and I just came back from outside, so I also started to investigate.
Then, I also explored the carpenter's shop and walked in. "
Li Yuan's expression froze slightly.
Pang Yuanhua said: "The carpenter's shop is empty, there is nothing.
I turned around and went out.
But since then, I have been sick and my whole body has become weaker and weaker.
I thought I would die like this, but just a few days ago, I opened the door of my room, but instead of returning to my room, I re-entered the carpenter's shop.
This time, the carpentry shop was not empty, but a strange man was wielding a hammer and was carving wood carvings. The shelf behind him was full of puppets, and there was a stove next to the shelf.
I asked him something, but he didn't answer, and then I saw the paleness of his face, and the coldness, hatred, and numbness of his pupils. Those eyes were not human at all.
I glanced at the dolls on the wooden frame, but found the dolls of Pang Tantai Sect Master and Fuyuean Shitai. Those two figures were lifelike, with terrified expressions on their faces, but they were placed on the wooden frame superior.
I wanted to take the dolls away, but the two dolls were extremely heavy. I couldn't lift them with all my strength.
But at this moment, the weird carpenter seemed to have finished his work, suddenly stood up, grabbed a puppet on the edge of the wooden frame, and "snapped" it and threw it into the stove.
The puppet screamed, as if it was the scream of a living person when it was on fire.
Then, the weird carpenter put a new doll on the wooden frame.
That new doll, I know it.
It's my nephew Pang Qian.
I looked at Nephew Pang Qian on the wooden frame. The face of my nephew was full of fear and panic. Her eyes were still rolling, and she looked at me for help.
I was terrified and ran away in a hurry.
On the same day, I saw Martial Nephew Pang Qian again. The original Martial Nephew Pang Qian was similar to me. She was sick, her flesh and blood were exhausted, and she was skinny. But suddenly she recovered from her illness and recovered quickly, talking and laughing with others.
Then, I suddenly heard some disciples say that the missing sect master and Fuyuean's teacher had returned.
I felt that things were too weird, so I hurriedly wrote a letter, saying that there was a ghost, and told you not to come.
At the same time, I fled with the book of life, which is another preparation in case you don't see the letter. "
Pang Yuanhua spoke eloquently, while Tang Nian, who was listening with pricked ears, was already terrified, and his body froze there without moving.
Li Yuandao: "So, you are avoiding the door. You are afraid that there is a carpenter's shop behind the door, because there may be a carpenter's shop behind any door."
Pang Yuanhua said: "Yes. Actually, I have been outside the city, and your white sparrow also found me outside the city.
I dare not go through the door, because I have already guessed how the carpenter's haunt works."
Li Yuandao: "Anyone who enters the carpenter's shop will be seen by the carpenter ghost, and the carpenter ghost will quickly carve puppets.
When the puppet is complete, the real person is replaced by the ghost, and the real person himself enters the puppet and is placed on the wooden frame of the carpenter's ghost.
However, when the wooden frame is full, once it is full, the carpenter ghost's movements will slow down, and he needs to discard a puppet before he can put a new one. "
Pang Yuanhua said: "If the wooden frame is not full, those who saw the carpenter would be left in the carpenter's shop, so they disappeared.
When the wooden racks are full, people who enter the carpenter's shop behind will line up, such as me, such as nephew Pang Qian, we can still live outside, but because of the curse of the carpenter, our flesh and blood begin to dry up.
The carpenter will burn the dolls on the shelf, and the people in line will slowly replenish them.
They will open the door, but no matter what door they open, there will only be a carpenter's shop behind the door, and then they will be replaced by ghosts, and they will become dolls on wooden frames. "
She lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "Whether it's the master of Pang Tantai, the master of Fuyuean, or the nephew of Pang Qian, they are no longer human."
"But why would the ghost do this?" Li Yuan asked.
Pang Yuanhua said: "I have inquired about the carpenter's shop.
There used to be a carpenter living in the shop, and that carpenter's name was Shen Jiliang.
He is a very withdrawn person and rarely communicates with others. At first, he still did some work outside, but later he stopped doing it after earning some money.
He went back to his house and found a matchmaker to talk about marriage, but he was cheated, but fortunately we found the liar and helped him get the money back.
Later, this Shen Jiliang got another strange disease, and the doctor didn't know what it was, so he called it a strange disease
At first, he lost feeling in his feet, then he lost sensation below his knees, and then the paralysis spread, as if it was going to overwhelm him.
Shen Jiliang spent all the money, but did not receive treatment.
Because he has no friends, no one cares about him on weekdays.
It wasn't until someone passed by the door of his house and smelled the stench of corpses that they found Shen Jiliang, who had already rotted and was covered in bugs.
He died sitting on a chair with his head on one side, probably paralyzed, and then the paralysis slowly spread over his body, neck, and head.
Whether he was conscious in the end, I don't even know.
If so, then this method of death is really terrible and cruel.
Later I heard that several puppets were found in the house, and the carvings were not beautiful."
Li Yuandao: "Then everything is right."
Pang Yuan Hua stared at the ground silently with his pupils, "Yes, the carpenter ghost is Shen Jiliang, at least its way of killing is related to Shen Jiliang."
At this moment, for some reason, Li Yuan suddenly thought of the dream that Lady Yan was talking about.
In the dream, it was pitch black, as if it was covered with a thick layer of cloth, the window had iron railings, and outside the railings was a light that was so dazzling that it seemed to burn the soul.
This.
Where is this house.
This is clearly the iron cages that carry live goods on the black market bullock carts.
Black market ghost domain!When did you get involved with your own wife? !
After realizing this, Li Yuan's heart twitched.
He looked at the girl in front of him and said, "How can I help you?"
Pang Yuanhua smiled wryly and said: "If you know this news, you have already helped me. I hope you can use this news reasonably to let more people survive.
And I'll live on in the wild. See how far I can live.
Senior, don't worry, there are still people helping me
I also have a little bit of self-preservation. "
Li Yuan had no intention of continuing to inquire about the secret, so he wanted to invite her to the car, but when he looked at the curtain of the car, he thought to himself: Isn't that also a door?
So he gave up his thoughts again, and boarded the car to get some silver taels for her, which was a little bit of effort, and then he wanted to go home quickly.
He got on the imperial seat, raised his hand and pushed the curtain, and walked inside.
A pungent smell of sawdust came suddenly, and the strange "clang clang" sound of iron chisels across the hardwood sounded from time to time. The blood-red wooden frame was at the end of the line of sight, and on the frame were distorted dolls with different expressions. The ground is covered with thin wooden rolls and sawdust
The weird man's eyes were numb and resentful, he was squatting not far away, holding a red wooden chisel in one hand, and a rusty hammer in the other, he was carving something.
Li Yuan's pupils constricted, and his scalp became numb instantly.
He turned his head and saw that the door where it happened was gone!
His heart was pounding, and with a thought, the blood of the surrounding figure suddenly surfaced and squeezed out from the pores, making him instantly a blood man, every inch of skin on his body was covered by his own shadow blood.
The next moment, he stepped on the ground, turned around, and slammed into the wall of the carpenter's shop behind him with a "boom".
then
Bang!
He reappeared outside the carpenter's shop and fell heavily on the wild land.
The sudden change, whether it was Wang San, Tang Nian, or Pang Yuanhua, was shocked.
Why did the ancestor of the blood knife suddenly become a blood man?
"Father, what's the matter with you?"
"senior!"
Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."
Then he turned his head to look at Pang Yuanhua and said, "Let's go."
"senior??"
"Walk!!"
Pang Yuanhua didn't know what happened, got up and saluted carefully, and then left.
A white sparrow flew high, and followed it where Pang Yuanhua couldn't see it.
But after following around, I didn't find anything unusual.
So the white sparrow landed again and brought Pang Yuanhua back.
Then, Li Yuancai said: "I have entered the carpenter's shop, what can you do?"
Pang Yuanhua was stunned, then realized something, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, senior."
Li Yuan said coldly: "Perhaps the next doll from the carpenter's shop will be stuck here, so the doors that open around you are all from the carpenter's shop!"
(End of this chapter)
At night, there is no village in front and no shop behind.
The moon is in the sky, the wild fog is sweeping the ground, the road ahead is vast, and the sight is unclear.
On such a lonely road in the wilderness, a carriage was still running fast. Seeing the weather, the driver slowed down and asked a few words behind the curtain, then stopped the carriage and jumped down, tied the carriage to a bare old tree side.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and Li Yuan looked around. It is foggy in winter in Japan, especially in this mountainous place.
"Just spend the night here."
"Yes, sir."
The coachman's name was Wang San, and he belonged to the proprietress. He was not a warrior, but a simple man who was diligent and measured.
After a while, Li Yuan and Wang San were lighting a bonfire together, with Tang Nian helping.
Snapped.
pop
The puppet was holding a lot of firewood. Tang Nian picked up the firewood and threw them into the hot flame one by one.
"Master, miss, it's fine if I come, you guys rest," Wang San said with a silly smile beside him.
Li Yuandao: "Isn't it faster to have more hands? Come together."
Wang San scratched his head and said, "How can this be, you?"
Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, old Wang, let's do your work."
Wang San didn't say anything now, he just felt that my uncle was really kind.
"How long will it take to arrive in Huamo County?" Li Yuan asked casually. He can only control three birds, so he only has three fixed-point sight lines. One is in the mass grave to guard against accidents, and the other is to guard against foreign enemies at the mouth of the antelope. One is guarding against accidents in Baihua Manor, and he can't move these three places, because he doesn't know when something will happen to these three places.Therefore, he had only a vague notion of how far the journey was going.
But Wang San was very clear, at this moment he said: "Master, I should be there tomorrow evening."
After a while, Li Yuan and Tang Nian settled the dinner hastily and got into the carriage.
There is no way to wash in the wilderness, even if you go to the toilet, you have to run far away and hide behind a tree.
Late at night, everything was silent, except for the bonfire that was still burning. The big girl slept in the carriage wrapped in a blanket and leaned against the puppet. After sleeping for a while, seeing that Li Yuan hadn't come, she lifted the curtain like an adult, and looked outside. Door.
Outside the door, under the star river, the young man who looked more like a brother than a adoptive father was sitting by the campfire, holding a dead branch to draw and draw, while looking at the gradually dimming campfire, wondering what he was thinking.
People are mutual.
Tang Nian lost her biological father, but began to feel the sincerity and reconciliation of her adoptive father to her. Even though she couldn't get over her feelings for a while, she still wanted to do something in terms of actions and words.
"Father, profile for the cold, go to bed early." The big girl shouted.
Li Yuan looked back at the big girl at the window of the carriage, and said, "You go to bed first, you can take a rest today, and you can take a bath tomorrow night."
"Niannian is not afraid of suffering." The older girl said with a firm expression, "Father should go to bed early."
After finishing speaking, she pulled up the curtain, put her small palm on the cold puppet's heart in the dark, closed her eyes and whispered softly: "Father, I will change you into the most powerful body, I will definitely do it. "
The next day, the carriage set off.
There was a small accident on the way, and some unsightly bandits intercepted Li Yuan's carriage.
This is a group of bandits full of viciousness, and there is a ninth rank among them. Li Yuan is not polite, let alone talking nonsense, so he just wants to solve it with a few knives.
These bandits are all uneasy factors in the three counties, and if they are killed, they will be killed.
As a result, Tang Nian said, "Father, let me come."
Li Yuan asked the adopted daughter to practice, and then Tang Nian didn't get out of the carriage, let alone look outside the carriage, and directly manipulated the puppets to kill the bandits, leaving no one alive.
The scene was extremely bloody, and the bandits were cut into irregular pieces by the six-sword puppets
Wang San looked at it and trembled, terrified.
Li Yuan regretted a little bit, he thought Tang Nian was just a child at heart, and wanted to become proficient as a puppet, but he didn't expect her to be so direct.
A 12-year-old girl shouldn't do this kind of killing and extermination.
Tang Nian saw Li Yuan's thoughts, and said softly, "Father, Nian Nian is not a flower in a greenhouse."
Li Yuandao: "You are still young."
Tang Nian said "Niannian is not young", and then said: "Thank you foster father."
After all, she leaned sideways to the big puppet she just got into the car, a little stubborn, rebellious, and didn't want to be taught.
Li Yuan didn't bother with this topic, and then said: "In the past few days at Orange Blossom Gate, do you have any good friends?"
He took Tang Nian out because he was afraid that the girl would be withdrawn. Originally, Xiaosheng and Niuniu were her friends, but now the two have stopped communicating.He hoped that Tang Nian would make new friends, so during the few days at the Orange Blossom Gate, he completely let Tang Nian mix with the younger generation of the Orange Blossom Gate.
Tang Nian is interested in toxins, and the Orange Blossom Sect also likes hidden weapons and puppet mechanisms. Both parties are very interested in each other's power, and they have a natural topic of conversation.
In fact, toxins, hidden weapons, puppets, organs, and even assassins are all interlinked, and when combined together, they can form many terrifying killing methods.
This is also the reason why the previous He family wanted to attack the Tang family. As assassins, they wanted to integrate the power of the puppet family.
Holding the big puppet in his arms, Tang Nian said in a cold voice: "Yes, Liu Xiaoyu always comes to me. I ask her about poison, and she pretends to ask me about the puppet."
Li Yuanqi said: "Fake?"
Tang Nian hesitated, but after a few breaths, he said, "The person Liu Xiaoyu is really interested in is the adoptive father. She likes the adoptive father. She wants to be a young mother."
Li Yuan:? ? ? ? ? ?
"She said it herself?"
"No, I thought about it myself every year."
Li Yuan rubbed the older girl's hair, and said: "Don't think about it, Liu Xiaoyu should be eighteen or nineteen this year, you can call her sister."
Now that he has reached the sixth rank, he can no longer have children with ordinary people. His married life is also very good, and the extra point is tied to Yan Niangzi, so he has no plans to take in another woman for the time being.
As for what to do after a hundred years?
Let's talk about it then.
The two chatted intermittently to pass the boring journey.
After a while, they all went their separate ways. Tang Nian leaned on the big puppet, and there was a deep thought in his eyes that did not belong to this age. He was obviously thinking about the calculations of puppetry.
Li Yuan was thinking about the visualization map. The visualization map was a random guess by himself, and he didn't know if there was a big power, but no matter if there was or not, he had to come up with one himself.
He is thinking about what his visualization map should look like, and how it fits into his own life catalog.
Because the robbers delayed some time in the middle, when the carriage arrived at the east gate of Huamo County, it was already dark and the city gate was closed.
Behind the battlements, the scorching light of the brazier pulled the long and short patrolling figures. Apart from the normal city guards, there were also two figures in white sword robes. They were disciples of Frost Sword Sect.
Frost Sword Sect, perhaps because of their skills, only accepts female disciples, so the two inspectors are also a young girl, a middle-aged woman.
"I heard that the ancestor of the blood knife is very young." The girl from the Frost Sword Gate was very curious.
"No matter how young you are, you will be half a hundred years old. You should be called Grandpa." The middle-aged woman of Frost Sword Sect said.
The girl said: "Hey, the sixth grade is really good. They are half a hundred, and they still look like young people. Will they grow old?"
"It is said that they will not." The middle-aged woman thought for a while, "I heard that they will not start aging until they reach the end of their lives."
The two women were talking when they saw a carriage parked under the city.
The sound came from the car.
"Li Yuan, come to visit."
"The Blood Knife Patriarch is here!" The middle-aged woman said, then hurriedly cupped her fists and raised her voice, "Patriarch, wait a moment."
Then he ran down the city "dendenden", urging the guards to open the city gate.
After a while, the city gate opened.
The two women entered the city with a carriage.
Li Yuan got off the car.
The two women said respectfully: "I have seen the ancestor."
"You're welcome, what's your name?"
"Han Ying."
"Pang Qian."
Immediately, a middle-aged female swordsman named Han Ying said: "Father, please follow us."
Li Yuandao: "There is no need to arrange banquets such as washing the wind and dust, and there is no need to arrange special service by maids. I want to meet the noble lady Pang Yuanhua."
He also did some simple homework before he came, knowing that the current head of Shuangjianmen is Pang Yuanhua, the military adviser-type woman who used clever tricks to scare General Qingxiang away when General Qingxiang attacked the city, and that woman is a bit special. The spirit and soul connection on Baique.
Han Ying looked embarrassed and lowered his head slightly.
Pang Qian seemed to be thinking about showing off, and said aside: "Patriarch, Uncle Pang is missing. Now we are all looking for her."
"Pang Qian!" Han Ying said sternly, and then said, "Sorry, Patriarch, the little girl doesn't know what to say."
Li Yuan looked at the middle-aged female swordsman and said, "Why do you say you don't know the severity?"
Han Ying hurriedly bowed and said respectfully: "Patriarch, it was Senior Sister Pang who was in contact with the Blood Knife Sect before, but now that Senior Sister Pang has disappeared, the life catalog has also disappeared. The owner of the sect thought that you would come to the gate, and then you will come back to the gate. I wish I could apologize to you, but I didn't expect this girl to talk so fast that she would say it outright."
"Then who is the head of the family now?" Li Yuan was a little curious.
Han Ying said: "It's my Frost Sword Sect master, Pang Tantai."
Li Yuan's expression was slightly condensed, but he didn't say anything, he just said: "Understood."
Han Ying said: "Patriarch, please follow me."
Li Yuan nodded with a smile, and said: "The guest is up to the owner, Lao Wang, follow this heroine."
On the royal seat, Wang San hurriedly smiled and said, "Understood, master."
After finishing speaking, Li Yuan was about to get into the car, and just as he got on the royal seat, he turned around and shouted, "Miss Pang?"
Pang Qian didn't respond.
Li Yuan called again: "Miss Pang."
Only then did Pang Qian come back to her senses, pointing at herself, she said in a daze, "Did you call me?"
Han Ying next to him said, "Don't be so rude!"
Only then did Pang Qian apologize in fear, and secretly looked at the legendary blood knife ancestor cautiously and curiously, he really looked about the same age as her.
Li Yuanwen said softly: "I'm new here and I'm not familiar with this place, can Miss Pang get in the car and tell me about the customs and customs of Huamo County.
I still have my daughter in the car, not counting as a single man and widow living in the same room, Miss Pang, don't have to worry. "
Pang Qian was very willing to say: "Okay."
Han Ying quickly stopped her and said, "Pang Qian, don't be rude!"
Li Yuandao: "Why are you being rude?"
Han Ying hurriedly said, dare not dare, and let Pang Qian climb into the carriage and get into the carriage.
Tang Nian sat in the corner coldly, stepped aside a little, but immediately sniffed in surprise, because she smelled a faint fragrance from Pang Qian's body, which smelled very good.
Pang Qian lowered her head, and carefully raised her eyes to look at the young Blood Knife Patriarch opposite. It was the first time she saw a sixth-rank, and she was very nervous. She gently pinched the skirt of the sword robe with both hands, and her long legs were tightly together.
Li Yuandao: "Miss Pang."
"Old Ancestor!" Pang Qian raised her head hastily.
"Pang Yuanhua is really missing?"
"That's right, the head of the gate and the teacher of Fuyue Temple disappeared before, and Uncle Pang has been investigating their whereabouts. In the end, nothing was found, but he got a whole body of illness.
A few days ago, the sect master and the mistress suddenly reappeared, but Master Pang disappeared.
At that time, Uncle Pang replied to the letter from Xuedaomen, and Uncle Pang also had the life catalog at that time.
Now she suddenly disappeared, and the sect master and teacher are also looking for her everywhere. "
"Where did the sect master and teacher disappear? Did you go there to look for Miss Pang?"
"I didn't say anything." Pang Qian thought, resting her chin with her fingers, and said, "However... I heard it before, it seems to be in a carpenter's house. There was a series of disappearances in the county before. I went to the carpenter's house to investigate. Later, Master Pang also went there, and got sick as a result.
Everyone was very scared, and some people said that the carpenter's shop was a ghost town, but the door owner and the teacher came back. They said it was not a ghost town, but it was a very magical place, and they just walked around in it. , After the results came out, almost two years have passed outside. "
Li Yuan's pupils shrank, he opened the curtain and looked out the window, Huamo County is quite lively at night, people come and go in the busy market, and there are still people in front of the restaurant shouting "Snow fermented wine, Hengwu Restaurant Snow fermented grains, limited quantity, first come first served".
The Hengwu restaurant has been famous in the three counties for a long time, and there are often restaurants from all over the place to order wine from Hengwu, and the one here is probably one of them.
"parking."
Li Yuan suddenly shouted.
The carriage stopped.
Pang Qian said: "Old Ancestor, do you want to drink?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "No, I want to put the girl down."
"Oh, yes, it's been so long, I'm going down now." Pang Qian stuck out her tongue, opened the curtain, and jumped off the carriage.
Immediately afterwards, the curtain was lifted again, Li Yuan leaned against the window, and shouted: "Miss Han, Miss Pang, since there is no life record here, I will not enter the city. I have important things to do, so I will leave."
These words were too sudden, Han Ying and Pang Qian stayed in place in a daze, unable to react for a while.
Han Ying asked anxiously: "Ancestor, is it because we didn't entertain well? Sect Master, Sect Master, she has already hosted a banquet, and she is waiting for you in front."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Then thank her for me."
After finishing speaking, he put down the curtain and said: "Old Wang, turn around and go back."
Everyone was stunned, even Tang Nian looked at his adoptive father in surprise, not knowing what happened.
"Old King."
Li Yuan snorted coldly.
Lao Wang on the imperial seat finally came to his senses, and the imperial chariot turned around, going in the same direction as it came and went.
"Get out of town, hurry up."
Li Yuan continued.
Lao Wang raised his whip and shouted "Drive", the wheels of the carriage turned quickly, and he arrived in front of the city gate not long after.
Not long after, several fast horses came at the end of the street, and the leader was a woman who was wearing a black sword robe different from ordinary disciples. conspicuous.
After the woman arrived, she dismounted from her horse again, and the city guards hurriedly saluted, shouting "I have seen the sect master".
This is none other than Pang Tantai, the master of Frost Sword Sect.
"Where is the ancestor?"
"The ancestor is out of the city."
"how long?"
"It's almost time for two incense sticks."
"understood."
Pang Tantai's complexion was a little bad, she looked sideways at the two disciples who came to greet her.
Both Han Ying and Pang Qian hurriedly pleaded guilty.
"Forget it, maybe the ancestor has other things." Pang Tantai said, "Tomorrow, I will ask Sanniang to take the two of you. Forget it, I will ask Sanniang to go to the Xuedaomen to apologize and ask clearly by the way."
Outside the city, in the wilderness, the white mist rose again, and the world seemed hazy.
Tang Nian couldn't help asking curiously, "Father, why are we leaving?"
Li Yuandao: "The girl who came up has a corpse smell, didn't you smell it?"
"Corpse stink?" Tang Nian was frightened immediately, his little heart throbbed and he felt cold, the cold air whizzed up, and his whole body subconsciously hugged the cold puppet tightly. She dared to kill, but she was still afraid of ghosts.
She thought about it, and said after a long time: "I only smell the fragrance."
"What kind of scent?"
"Like a kind of vanilla, it's woody."
"But the smell of wood hides the smell of corpses."
Li Yuan closed his eyes and recalled.
He had heard about the serial disappearances in Huamo County for a long time, and that Miss Pang Yuanhua even wrote to ask for help. This time he went there, firstly to refer to the catalog of life, and secondly to chat with Pang Yuanhua missing case.
Pang Yuanhua disappeared. He felt strange at first, and then specially called a disciple to get in the car. As a result, he smelled the stench of the corpse.
"Old Wang, do you smell the smell of corpses?" Li Yuan called out again.
Listening to the conversation in the carriage, the coachman was already frightened, and tremblingly said: "Master Qiqi, I don't have one either."
Li Yuan thought for a while, maybe he had smelled a very faint corpse odor from the crow, so he was sensitive to this odor?
"Master, where are we going now?"
"Look for a wilderness, and spend the night outside tonight."
"Yes, sir."
In the darkness, Li Yuan could only feel goosebumps floating up in rows. Maybe he had experienced it several times before. This time...he was not so scared anymore.
But Tang Nian was terrified, so he moved over to lean on Li Yuan.
"Father, is it really a ghost?"
"As long as there is even the slightest possibility, foster father will not take any risks.
So under the situation just now, the adoptive father chose to go out of the city instead of going to find out knowing the danger. "
"I see. Father-in-law, but what shall we do next? Should we go back to Shanbao County at dawn?"
Li Yuan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Wait for someone first."
"Who is it?"
"Pang Yuanhua."
"Isn't she missing?"
"But that was told to me by a man who stinks of corpses.
The more she said that Pang Yuanhua was missing, the safer Pang Yuanhua might be. "
"What if she doesn't come?"
"Year after year, as long as there is a little possibility, foster father will wait."
Li Yuan looked into the distance, the wasteland was pale by the moonlight.
There are more and more of these damn ghost things, and sooner or later we will face them face to face. Instead of passively facing them, it is better to understand them in advance
The night is getting darker.
Tang Nian hugged Li Yuan's arm, while Li Yuan looked out the window.
The carriage was parked on a high slope, and it happened to be able to observe the surrounding scene. There was a small river behind the high slope. Although it could not be directly drunk, it was still possible to wash things.
In the distance, a white sparrow was flying towards Li Yuan's place from north to south.
Li Yuan gave up the guard of Lingyangkou.
The next day
Clear sky.
When the sun was shining, Tang Nian huddled in the carriage. She felt that she had learned a lot during this journey, and she was still learning.
She had to admit that her adoptive father was really a very special man, not "just a strong man from a small border county" as she had thought before.
She suddenly blushed for what she said earlier, "to defeat the adoptive father", but she still wanted to stick to this goal, as if she were chasing after the adoptive father's back.
Li Yuan, on the other hand, "returned to his old business" and hunted two hares and a pheasant in the wasteland.
Prey is hard to find in deep winter, but this does not include a sixth-rank powerhouse like Li Yuan.
Skillfully lit the fire, cleaned, roasted, and divided the meat.
Such a day passed.
the next day.
The white sparrow has arrived.
Day three.
Li Yuan was sitting on a high slope thinking about the life catalog when a gray-clothed figure hurriedly approached in the distant jungle.
In front of the gray-clothed figure, there is a flying white sparrow.
The gray-clothed figure approached quickly. It was a thin man with his face covered and a hood, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's our first meeting, Miss Pang."
He tried it, but he didn't expect it to succeed.
Pang Yuanhua can see the soul connection on the white bird. She saw the white bird, so she followed the white bird to see herself.
The gray-clothed figure took off the cloth covering his face, revealed his skinny face, leaned forward and said, "It's really Yuan Hua's rudeness to come to see senior in such an ugly manner."
"Cuckoo cuckoo."
Shanbao County, Yinxifang, inner city.
When Tie Sha saw a carrier pigeon land, he raised his hand to beckon, took off the letter paper, and sprinkled a handful of rice.
"An urgent report from Frost Sword Gate. Didn't this ancestor just go to their place? Why did you come to report at this time?"
Tie Sha spread out curiously, his body froze at this sight.
There were four blood-red characters written on the paper, and the handwriting was extremely scribbled, showing the haste of the writer.
The four characters are: There are ghosts, don't come! !
The iron killing suddenly started.
Calculating the time, the ancestor should have arrived in Huamo County.
How can this be good?
The ancestor is completely ignorant. Under such circumstances, he would just plunge into Huamo County head-on, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
But this kind of thing, who can know in advance?
"Damn it, why did you come here at this time?"
Tie Sha paced back and forth, thought for a while and hurried out, and shouted: "Call people, follow me out of the city!"
Shanbao County can't lose his ancestors, although he doesn't know if it's useful to go again at this time, but if he has to go, even if it's too late to meet him outside the county, at least he can find out the truth.
"I didn't expect that senior didn't receive my letter, but he still got away early. Yuan Hua really admires it."
The skinny young lady looked at the young ancestor opposite.
"It's just a fluke." Li Yuan said, "What's going on?"
"We met Ghostland"
"Huamo County, has many people died, or is there a lot of resentment?"
"No. Our Huamo County is not big, there are only four workshops in total, so there is no black market, and even the burial is outside the county." Pang Yuanhua said, "Senior, you want to understand the formation of the ghost domain?"
Li Yuan nodded.
Pang Yuanhua said: "This formation probably has nothing to do with resentment.
The ghost domain in our county is a carpenter's shop.
Anyone who has entered the carpenter's shop will be stared at by the carpenter, and then disappear from the world.
At first, there should have been a few people who entered the carpenter's shop by accident.
Later, many people entered.
This is the truth about the serial disappearances.
After the disappearance happened, I, the Sect Master of Frost Sword Sect, and Master Fuyuean began to investigate. They must have been to the carpenter's shop, so they also disappeared.
Later, more and more people disappeared, and I just came back from outside, so I also started to investigate.
Then, I also explored the carpenter's shop and walked in. "
Li Yuan's expression froze slightly.
Pang Yuanhua said: "The carpenter's shop is empty, there is nothing.
I turned around and went out.
But since then, I have been sick and my whole body has become weaker and weaker.
I thought I would die like this, but just a few days ago, I opened the door of my room, but instead of returning to my room, I re-entered the carpenter's shop.
This time, the carpentry shop was not empty, but a strange man was wielding a hammer and was carving wood carvings. The shelf behind him was full of puppets, and there was a stove next to the shelf.
I asked him something, but he didn't answer, and then I saw the paleness of his face, and the coldness, hatred, and numbness of his pupils. Those eyes were not human at all.
I glanced at the dolls on the wooden frame, but found the dolls of Pang Tantai Sect Master and Fuyuean Shitai. Those two figures were lifelike, with terrified expressions on their faces, but they were placed on the wooden frame superior.
I wanted to take the dolls away, but the two dolls were extremely heavy. I couldn't lift them with all my strength.
But at this moment, the weird carpenter seemed to have finished his work, suddenly stood up, grabbed a puppet on the edge of the wooden frame, and "snapped" it and threw it into the stove.
The puppet screamed, as if it was the scream of a living person when it was on fire.
Then, the weird carpenter put a new doll on the wooden frame.
That new doll, I know it.
It's my nephew Pang Qian.
I looked at Nephew Pang Qian on the wooden frame. The face of my nephew was full of fear and panic. Her eyes were still rolling, and she looked at me for help.
I was terrified and ran away in a hurry.
On the same day, I saw Martial Nephew Pang Qian again. The original Martial Nephew Pang Qian was similar to me. She was sick, her flesh and blood were exhausted, and she was skinny. But suddenly she recovered from her illness and recovered quickly, talking and laughing with others.
Then, I suddenly heard some disciples say that the missing sect master and Fuyuean's teacher had returned.
I felt that things were too weird, so I hurriedly wrote a letter, saying that there was a ghost, and told you not to come.
At the same time, I fled with the book of life, which is another preparation in case you don't see the letter. "
Pang Yuanhua spoke eloquently, while Tang Nian, who was listening with pricked ears, was already terrified, and his body froze there without moving.
Li Yuandao: "So, you are avoiding the door. You are afraid that there is a carpenter's shop behind the door, because there may be a carpenter's shop behind any door."
Pang Yuanhua said: "Yes. Actually, I have been outside the city, and your white sparrow also found me outside the city.
I dare not go through the door, because I have already guessed how the carpenter's haunt works."
Li Yuandao: "Anyone who enters the carpenter's shop will be seen by the carpenter ghost, and the carpenter ghost will quickly carve puppets.
When the puppet is complete, the real person is replaced by the ghost, and the real person himself enters the puppet and is placed on the wooden frame of the carpenter's ghost.
However, when the wooden frame is full, once it is full, the carpenter ghost's movements will slow down, and he needs to discard a puppet before he can put a new one. "
Pang Yuanhua said: "If the wooden frame is not full, those who saw the carpenter would be left in the carpenter's shop, so they disappeared.
When the wooden racks are full, people who enter the carpenter's shop behind will line up, such as me, such as nephew Pang Qian, we can still live outside, but because of the curse of the carpenter, our flesh and blood begin to dry up.
The carpenter will burn the dolls on the shelf, and the people in line will slowly replenish them.
They will open the door, but no matter what door they open, there will only be a carpenter's shop behind the door, and then they will be replaced by ghosts, and they will become dolls on wooden frames. "
She lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "Whether it's the master of Pang Tantai, the master of Fuyuean, or the nephew of Pang Qian, they are no longer human."
"But why would the ghost do this?" Li Yuan asked.
Pang Yuanhua said: "I have inquired about the carpenter's shop.
There used to be a carpenter living in the shop, and that carpenter's name was Shen Jiliang.
He is a very withdrawn person and rarely communicates with others. At first, he still did some work outside, but later he stopped doing it after earning some money.
He went back to his house and found a matchmaker to talk about marriage, but he was cheated, but fortunately we found the liar and helped him get the money back.
Later, this Shen Jiliang got another strange disease, and the doctor didn't know what it was, so he called it a strange disease
At first, he lost feeling in his feet, then he lost sensation below his knees, and then the paralysis spread, as if it was going to overwhelm him.
Shen Jiliang spent all the money, but did not receive treatment.
Because he has no friends, no one cares about him on weekdays.
It wasn't until someone passed by the door of his house and smelled the stench of corpses that they found Shen Jiliang, who had already rotted and was covered in bugs.
He died sitting on a chair with his head on one side, probably paralyzed, and then the paralysis slowly spread over his body, neck, and head.
Whether he was conscious in the end, I don't even know.
If so, then this method of death is really terrible and cruel.
Later I heard that several puppets were found in the house, and the carvings were not beautiful."
Li Yuandao: "Then everything is right."
Pang Yuan Hua stared at the ground silently with his pupils, "Yes, the carpenter ghost is Shen Jiliang, at least its way of killing is related to Shen Jiliang."
At this moment, for some reason, Li Yuan suddenly thought of the dream that Lady Yan was talking about.
In the dream, it was pitch black, as if it was covered with a thick layer of cloth, the window had iron railings, and outside the railings was a light that was so dazzling that it seemed to burn the soul.
This.
Where is this house.
This is clearly the iron cages that carry live goods on the black market bullock carts.
Black market ghost domain!When did you get involved with your own wife? !
After realizing this, Li Yuan's heart twitched.
He looked at the girl in front of him and said, "How can I help you?"
Pang Yuanhua smiled wryly and said: "If you know this news, you have already helped me. I hope you can use this news reasonably to let more people survive.
And I'll live on in the wild. See how far I can live.
Senior, don't worry, there are still people helping me
I also have a little bit of self-preservation. "
Li Yuan had no intention of continuing to inquire about the secret, so he wanted to invite her to the car, but when he looked at the curtain of the car, he thought to himself: Isn't that also a door?
So he gave up his thoughts again, and boarded the car to get some silver taels for her, which was a little bit of effort, and then he wanted to go home quickly.
He got on the imperial seat, raised his hand and pushed the curtain, and walked inside.
A pungent smell of sawdust came suddenly, and the strange "clang clang" sound of iron chisels across the hardwood sounded from time to time. The blood-red wooden frame was at the end of the line of sight, and on the frame were distorted dolls with different expressions. The ground is covered with thin wooden rolls and sawdust
The weird man's eyes were numb and resentful, he was squatting not far away, holding a red wooden chisel in one hand, and a rusty hammer in the other, he was carving something.
Li Yuan's pupils constricted, and his scalp became numb instantly.
He turned his head and saw that the door where it happened was gone!
His heart was pounding, and with a thought, the blood of the surrounding figure suddenly surfaced and squeezed out from the pores, making him instantly a blood man, every inch of skin on his body was covered by his own shadow blood.
The next moment, he stepped on the ground, turned around, and slammed into the wall of the carpenter's shop behind him with a "boom".
then
Bang!
He reappeared outside the carpenter's shop and fell heavily on the wild land.
The sudden change, whether it was Wang San, Tang Nian, or Pang Yuanhua, was shocked.
Why did the ancestor of the blood knife suddenly become a blood man?
"Father, what's the matter with you?"
"senior!"
Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."
Then he turned his head to look at Pang Yuanhua and said, "Let's go."
"senior??"
"Walk!!"
Pang Yuanhua didn't know what happened, got up and saluted carefully, and then left.
A white sparrow flew high, and followed it where Pang Yuanhua couldn't see it.
But after following around, I didn't find anything unusual.
So the white sparrow landed again and brought Pang Yuanhua back.
Then, Li Yuancai said: "I have entered the carpenter's shop, what can you do?"
Pang Yuanhua was stunned, then realized something, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, senior."
Li Yuan said coldly: "Perhaps the next doll from the carpenter's shop will be stuck here, so the doors that open around you are all from the carpenter's shop!"
