Volume [-] Killing machine step by step

Chapter 3 ghost
On the sixth day of April, it is cloudy.

Zhao Wuji quietly returned to Hefeng Villa.

He didn't intend to come back, but after thinking about it for a long time, he changed his mind.

He missed Feng Niang, Qian Qian, and those old family members who were always loyal to them.

This kind of unforgettable longing is like a pot of warm water. Although it can make people temporarily forget the pain of reality, it can also make people relax.

Relax and weak.

So he has been controlling himself and trying not to think about them.

But in the middle of the night, when he was dreaming, when he was tired and frustrated, this kind of longing often entangled him suddenly like a spider's thread, and entangled him very tightly.
But that wasn't the main reason for his decision to come back.

He didn't hear any news about Fengniang and Qianqian, but he already vaguely felt that they were no longer here.

When Dizang took Fengniang to the secret room that day, he didn't see her.

He dared not look back.

Because he has vaguely felt that the person brought by 'Ksitigarbha' must be his relative.

He was afraid that he would become unable to control himself at that time, he couldn't let the 'dizo' be a little wary of him.

Now he finally came back, quietly, without disturbing anyone.

It was dusk.

□□□

Hefeng Villa itself is a place worth remembering, especially at dusk, it is more beautiful like a picture.

Hefeng Villa is completely different from Shangguan Fort, and it is also different from the 'Feiyunzhuang Dafengtang' where Yun Feiyang is stationed.

The building of Dafeng Hall is eagle-like, majestic and majestic, vividly reflecting Yun Feiyang's incomparable ambition.

Shangguan Fort is precipitous and isolated, with a cold murderous aura hidden in its simplicity.

Hefeng Villa is an elegant and quiet place, without a trace of majestic domineering, it is only suitable for people in the cloudless and windy days.

, in the evening at the beginning of the setting sun, enjoy it quietly.

Therefore, Sikong Xiaofeng, who has always been single, always likes to come here to work for a few days in his free time, except when he stays in Dafengtang.
Guests, enjoy a few days of calm and quiet fun.

But since Second Master Zhao passed away, Wuji left, and Qianqian and Fengniang also left, this place has also changed.

Just like a person, a manor house will sometimes become old and haggard, lonely and tired.

Especially on a cloudy evening like this.

Whenever the weather is cloudy and rainy, the rheumatism in Lao Jiang's joints will become like a vicious and jealous wife, and he will start using various

It tortured him with unimaginable pain.

Although he couldn't bear it, he still couldn't shake it off.

Today he is in more pain, the knees of both legs are like thousands of sharp needles pricking, the pain is so painful that he can hardly take a step

go.

He wanted to go to bed early, but he couldn't sleep.

At this moment, Wuji gently pushed open the half-hidden door and walked into his hut.

Old Jiang immediately jumped up and squeezed his hand tightly: "I didn't expect you to come back." '

□□□

Seeing Lao Jiang's eyes full of hot tears, Wuji could hardly hold back his tears.

In the past, he always felt that Old Jiang was too dull, too stubborn, too trivial, and even a bit annoying.

But now when he saw this annoying person, he was only happy and moved.

"After you left, Miss Feng and Missy also left. Until now, there is no news at all. Since that day, Sikong

The uncle invited a man named Qu Ping, and they...'

Hearing what Old Jiang was muttering, Wuji also felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

——Where did they go, why is there no news so far?
——Is the person brought into the secret room by 'Ksitigarbha' that day really Feng Niang?
Lao Jiang seemed to have felt his grief, and immediately smiled, saying: "No matter what, you are finally back, I

I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect that you really came back. '

He has said this sentence twice.

Wuji couldn't help asking: "Someone told you that I will come back?"

Old Jiang said: "Your junior sister and that friend both said that, saying that you will definitely be home tonight at the latest. '

Wuji didn't have a junior sister, so he couldn't think of who this friend was.

But he didn't want to worry Lao Jiang, so he just asked lightly: "When did they come?"

Old Jiang said: "One arrived yesterday, and your junior sister came later." '

Wuji asked, "Are they still here?"

Old Jiang said: "Your junior sister seems to be not feeling very well. She locked herself in the room as soon as she came and slept for a whole day.

Don't let us bother. '

He added: "I let her sleep in the guest room where Uncle Sikong usually lives. '

Wuji said, "Where's my friend?"

Old Jiang said: "That young master seems to be unable to calm down for a moment, he keeps walking around, now..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face, as if someone had stuffed his chest with a piece of dry mud.
mouth.

Wuji stared at him, and then asked: "Where is he now?"

Lao Jiang was still hesitating, as if he really didn't want to say this, but he couldn't help but say: "I didn't let him go, but

It is he who must go, must go. '

Wuji said, "What are you going to do?"

Old Jiang said: "Go and fight ghosts." '

□□□

Wuji tried not to show himself in a way that would make Lao Jiang feel ashamed and uncomfortable.

He could see that Old Jiang's expression was not only serious, but also really scared.

But this kind of fact is too absurd, he can't help but ask: 'You mean, he went to fight ghosts?'

Lao Jiang sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I know, you will never believe it, but there is really a ghost in this place." '

Wuji asked, "Where is this ghost?"

Old Jiang said: "It's not one ghost, but several, in the courtyard where Miss Feng lived before." '

Wuji asked, "When did these ghosts come here?"

Old Jiang said: "Not long after Miss Feng left, people heard some strange noises from that place at night, sometimes

Even lights and figures can be seen. '

Wuji asked, "Has anyone seen it?"

Old Jiang said: "Many people have gone in to see it. No matter who it is, as soon as they enter the courtyard, they will pass by for no reason.
When I woke up, I was either hung from a tree, or lying in a gutter several miles away, stripped naked, or stuffed
A mouthful of mud. '

He was telling the truth, and he was genuinely afraid, because he too had had this terrible experience.

Wuji could already imagine why there was that strange expression on his face just now.

Old Jiang said: "They finally treated me politely, they didn't hang me from a tree, and they didn't strip me naked." '

——However, there must have been a mouthful of mud in his mouth.

He skipped a horrific experience, and went on: 'When I woke up, I saw this note. '

□□□

The note is a rare type of yellow mounted paper. The words written on it are crooked and twisted, and the meaning is obvious:

'People don't offend me,
I am not a criminal,

non-aggression,

The home is peaceful. '

□□□

Everyone hopes that their home is peaceful, even if they are neighbors with ghosts, they can bear it.

These ghosts do understand human psychology very well.

Wuji said: "There are also many kinds of ghosts. These ghosts don't seem to be evil ghosts." '

Old Jiang said: "No matter what kind of ghost it is, there are benefits." '

Wuji said, "What's the benefit?"

Old Jiang said: "Ghosts can't lie to people, only people can lie to ghosts." '

Wuji smiled wryly.

This is also true and no one can deny it.

Old Jiang said: "As long as we don't go in that yard, they will never come out, and they have never disturbed any plants or trees in other places." '

So they never went to that yard again.

Wuji understood this, he would never blame them, and if he were Lao Jiang, he would never go there again.

But he is not Lao Jiang, so he must go to see, not only to see those ghosts, but also to see his friend.

In rainy weather, the dusk is always very short, and suddenly it becomes dark, and the cold wind blows on the body, which makes people feel like spring.
It seems still far away.

Wuji avoided places with lights, walked around a quiet corridor, and walked into the back garden through a side door.

He didn't want to alarm others, and insisted on not letting Lao Jiang accompany him.

There are many things that you cannot let others accompany you to do, and there are many problems that you must solve alone.

He doesn't believe that there are ghosts in the world, but he believes that there are definitely people more terrifying than ghosts in the world.

Sometimes a friend is far more dangerous than a group of ghosts.

He has always been reluctant to let others take risks with him.

□□□

The garden is deep, deserted and dark. The peace and tranquility of the past have now become gloomy and lonely.

Even this place seemed to have been haunted by the shadow of death since his father's death.

But this is the place where he grew up after all, and there are too many past events that he will never forget.

The crickets in summer, the cicadas in autumn, the fragrance of flowers in spring, the snow in winter, all happy memories, now I can only think of them

make people sad.

He tried not to think about these things—if he had to, he might as well wait until tomorrow.

He didn't want any living person to see his weakness and sadness, nor did he want any ghost to see him.

□□□

The courtyard where Fengniang lives is in a very remote corner, almost completely independent, no matter where you go, it is very easy to walk there.
Far.

As soon as her parents' funeral was over, Mr. Zhao brought her here. Before they got married, of course she would marry her.

Keep a distance from where you live.

But of course Wuji would not have been here.

When he came here before, as long as he walked across the small bridge next to the peach blossom forest, he could see the light in her window, the light

The figure below.

The window is on the small building, and the small building is among hundreds of stalks of bamboo and dozens of plum blossoms.

The figure was always waiting for him.

Now he walked across the small bridge again, the peach blossoms were already in bloom, and a sneer suddenly came from the peach blossom forest.

On a dark and dreary cloudy night, in a sprawling courtyard, in a place where everyone says there are ghosts,

Anyone would be surprised to hear such a sneer suddenly.

Wuji didn't seem to hear.

The sneer came from the peach blossom forest. To get to the ghostly yard, one had to pass through the peach blossom forest.

Wuji walked into this peach blossom forest.

The voice of the sneer was intermittent, suddenly in the east, suddenly in the west, suddenly in the left, suddenly in the branches and leaves of a peach tree

, and suddenly came to the grass under a peach tree on the right.

Mowgli still couldn't hear it.

Suddenly, a dark shadow hung from the branch and blew a breath on the back of his neck.

Wuji didn't seem to feel anything at all, instead of being frightened to Hui, he didn't look back.

The black shadow couldn't hold back anymore, it swung on the tree and flew over Wuji's head.volley a thin waist
Turning Cloud, lightly landed in front of Wuji, with his hands on his hips, staring fiercely at Wuji with a pair of big eyes, although he was angry
At that time, the two deep dimples on his face could still be seen.

Wuji didn't even need to look at her to guess who she was.He originally thought that this friend was Li Yutang, but unexpectedly
However, Lian Yilian's ghost still lingers on and refuses to let him go.

He really didn't want to talk to this big girl who was not only unreasonable, but also had so many tricks.

It's a pity that this big girl wanted to chat with him, and suddenly asked: "Are you really not afraid at all?"

Wuji said, "What are you afraid of?"

Lian Yilian said, "I'm afraid of ghosts." '

Wuji said: "You are not a ghost. Why should I be afraid of you? You should be afraid of me." '

Lian Yilian said: "Why should I be afraid of you, are you a ghost?"

Wuji said, "Could it be that you still can't see that I'm a ghost?"

Lian Yilian wanted to laugh, but she held back her straight face and said, "What the hell are you? A pervert? A gambler? A drunkard?"

Wuji said, "I'm an unlucky ghost." '

Lian Yilian finally laughed and said, "I thought you were an individual, how did you become such an unlucky ghost?"

Wuji said, "Because I ran into you." '

He looked behind her and said, "Since you brought a friend, why didn't you introduce me?"

Lian Yilian looked him up and down and said, "Are you drunk?"

Wuji said, "I didn't even drink a drop of wine." '

Lian Yilian said: "I am obviously here alone, where did my friends come from?"

Wuji said, "Isn't that person behind you your friend?"

Lian Yilian couldn't laugh anymore, she said, "Is there anyone behind me?"

Wuji said, "Obviously there is someone, why do you say there is no one?"

He suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed behind her: "Isn't that a human?"

Lian Yilian's face changed, and she sneered, "Are you trying to scare me? Do you think I'm afraid?"

Wuji looked at her, surprised, and said, "Don't you believe there is someone behind you?"

Lian Yilian was still sneering, and her laughing voice had already started to tremble a little.

Wuji said, "Why don't you look back?"

Lian Yilian actually wanted to look back a long time ago, but for some reason, her neck seemed a little stiff, and she rushed over

, pointing at Wuji's nose and said, "You... tell the truth, is there really someone behind me?"

Her fingertips were cold.

Wuji sighed, and said, "I've said it a long time ago, there's nothing you can do if you don't believe me." '

Lian Yilian gritted her teeth, jumped up suddenly, and turned over in the air, her movement was far less graceful and flexible than before.

In the dark peach blossom grove, where can you see half a person?
She stared at Wuji fiercely, wanting to laugh and lose her temper.

Wuji said: "Now you always see it." '

Lian Yilian said, "What did you see?"

Wuji looked even more surprised, and said, "Don't tell me you still haven't seen it? Is there something wrong with your eyes?"

There is nothing wrong with Yilian's eyes at all, but it's a pity that she really can't be considered very courageous.

If she still wants to say 'not afraid' now, even she herself knows that others will never believe it.

Wuji shook his head and sighed, as if he was ready to leave.

Lian Yilian suddenly rushed over again, grabbed his hand, and said, "You...you can't leave. '

Wuji said, "Why can't I go?"

Lian Yilian said: "Because... because..."

Wuji said, "Is it because you know there are ghosts in this place, so you are a little scared?"

Lian Yilian actually admitted it.

Wuji said, "But now you obviously have someone to accompany you, what are you afraid of?"

Lian Yilian's face turned pale, as if she was about to fade away again.

Wuji was afraid of her move.

Only now did he realize that a woman who would fade away at any time was really more difficult to deal with than a hundred crying women.

Lian Yilian said: "You must tell me the truth, are you scaring me?"

Wuji said, "Yes." '

Lian Yilian asked, "Is there anyone behind me?"

Wuji said, "No." '

Lian Yilian breathed a sigh of relief, as if her whole body had softened, and she was about to fall on Wuji's body.

Fortunately, Wuji had already guessed what she was going to do next.

Sure enough, he guessed right.

Lian Yilian's body didn't fall on him, but a big slap was slapped on his face.

Of course she missed it this time.

Wuji immediately grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "This method is no longer effective, why don't you change it?"

Lian Yilian said: "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands, why are you grabbing my hand?"

Wuji said: "Because I am not a gentleman, and neither are you." '

He didn't forget that she had another hand, so he simply grabbed that hand as well.

But he forgot that she still had her mouth open.

She opened her mouth suddenly and bit his nose fiercely.

This move was really beyond his expectation, he really didn't expect a big girl to open her mouth

Come and bite a man's nose.

He had no choice but to quickly let go of her hand and back away. If he hadn't stepped back quickly, she might have bitten half of his nose off.

Lian Yilian laughed, giggling and said: "You are not a gentleman, I am a gentleman, since you make a move, I can only use my mouth." '

She had a great laugh.

Her eyes were originally big, but when she smiled, they narrowed into a line, but the two dimples became rounder and deeper.

What can you do with a girl like that?
□□□

Mowgli has only one way.

Even Yilian knew his method: "Do you want to slip now?"

Wuji said, "Yes." '

Lian Yilian said, "But you can't escape." '

She also has a way to deal with Wuji: 'Wherever you go, I will follow. '

Wuji said, "Do you know where I'm going?"

Lian Yilian said: "I don't need to know!"

Wuji said: "But I must tell you, I want to go to that haunted house." '

Lian Yilian said: "I'll go too, I was planning to go." '

Wuji said, "I advise you not to go." '

Lian Yilian said: "Why? I don't believe there are ghosts there." '

Wuji said: "Believe it or not, but—"

He suddenly shut his mouth and looked behind her in surprise, as if another person suddenly appeared behind her.

Lian Yilian shook her head: "You can't scare me this time, your method doesn't work, please change your tricks." '

She giggled and turned her head.

Although she knew that there would never be anyone behind, but in order to show that she would never be afraid again, she deliberately turned her head to look

Look.As soon as she turned her head away, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Lian Yilian not only couldn't laugh, she couldn't even turn her head back, because her neck became stiff again, but her legs started to go weak.

This time she really saw someone.
