Nightmare Apostle

Standing behind the door, Yang Xiao listened to the sound of rain outside which was gradually becoming less and less. Just now, it suddenly rained heavily, and the rain was so fast and fierce that the big raindrops hit the tiles, making a crackling sound. Now the rain is gradually easing, and it will stop soon.

"After the rain, the clouds will disperse, and everything will go smoothly." Cheng Cha said auspicious words, not knowing whether he was comforting others or himself.

The candidates sent out tonight to perform the mission have been finalized. The first one is Quan Doufeng, the second is Lu Youcheng, and the third is Sui Chengguo.

Sui Chengguo took the initiative to ask to take the last baton. According to the experience of Yang Xiao and his team's last mission, the last person played the role of the finale, and he was the only one among the three who had such ability.

Sui Chengguo urgently hoped to find an opportunity to end this mission. After all, this Dujia Village is extraordinary, and he was worried that the night would be long and dreamy.

"I don't know what happened to Mi Shu, I hope she's still alive." Lu Youcheng stood by the window and couldn't help sighing. It was late at night, and it was almost their turn to perform the mission. They didn't know whether they would be dead or alive, just like Mi Shu.

"That... Brother Cheng, let me ask again, as long as the incense is not burned out, we won't die, right?" Quan Doufeng came over flatteringly, staring at Cheng Cha and asked.

"That's the theory." Cheng Cha replied.

"Then... what about outside of the theory?" Quan Doufeng was relentless. After all, tonight was his first mission. To be honest, when he thought of going to the Du Family Ancestral Hall, he thought of the livestock shed near the ancestral hall. Who knows if those ghosts inside will suddenly rush out.

In his impression, livestock such as chickens and cows will not prey on large animals, but... but those ghosts cannot be guessed by common sense. Quan Doufeng strongly suspected that they eat people.

Facing Quan Doufeng's question, Cheng Cha shrugged and looked towards Yang Xiao, "I was the first one last time, so I don't know much. If I were you, I would ask Chu Xi and Miss Tong for advice."

Cheng Cha was still polite, but Quan Doufeng could tell that the other party was not very willing to pay attention to him.

But not long ago, Yang Xiao punched him. If everyone hadn't stopped him, he would have been beaten up. Tong Han also slapped him. This feud was established. Quan Doufeng regretted it a little. If he had known earlier, he would have stuffed some of the powder out of the window. Why would he end up like this?

But in order to survive, Quan Doufeng still went to Yang Xiao with a smile, "That...Brother Chu, Miss Tong, is it convenient now?"

"What's the matter?" Turning around, Yang Xiao looked at him, his expression was nothing special, much better than Quan Doufeng expected.

"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask about some details of your last mission." Quan Doufeng said carefully: "As long as the soul-guiding incense is not extinguished, you will not be killed by ghosts, right? No matter how much the mission is completed."

Yang Xiao recalled for a moment and nodded, "That's about it, but I advise you to be flexible. Things are not as simple as you think."

Then Yang Xiao and Tong Han helped him answer some questions. These questions seemed simple to Yang Xiao and others, but they were life-saving things for people like Quan Doufeng.

After asking almost all the questions, Quan Doufeng left gratefully. Cheng Cha came over with two cups of tea, one for Yang Xiao and the other for Tong Han, and smiled with emotion;

"You two are really kind-hearted. It is Quan Doufeng's blessing to meet you."

Taking the tea, Yang Xiao habitually took a sip and sighed: "It's nothing. No matter what, he is part of the mission tonight. If he can take fewer detours, maybe he can bring back more clues.

This way, Brother Sui will be more confident."

Tong Han didn't say anything, but just drank tea silently. Cheng Cha noticed the faint uneasiness in her heart and comforted her: "Miss Tong, don't worry, I think Miss Mi Shu will be fine."

Tong Han nodded slowly, but her slightly frowned brows were still not opened. She knew that this was just comfort. In her opinion, Mi Shu was the most dangerous one tonight. Liu Haiping and Hu Yanming, who were targeted before, were dead.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the boudoir is the most dangerous place. There will be threats from the Du family outside. There are also an unknown number of evil spirits blocked behind the screen in the room, and there is also an unidentified female ghost in red that Cheng Cha encountered last time. If there is any disturbance, Mi Shu may not be able to deal with it with her ability.

But she can't do anything now, she can only hope for a miracle to happen and let Mi Shu survive.

On the other side, Quan Doufeng was thinking with his head down, walking back and forth in the room, but he was caught by Lu Youcheng before he took a few steps. Seeing Lu Youcheng's serious and warning face, Quan Doufeng immediately became timid, "You...

What are you going to do?"

"I warn you, don't play tricks with me. Everyone has to contribute to this mission. The role you play tonight is very important. You have to explore the way for the people behind you, just like Mr. Cheng last night, bring back clues.

Do you understand?" Lu Youcheng grabbed Quan Doufeng and questioned him. The two were very close. Lu Youcheng wanted to make sure that the latter could hear every word of his, and he also wanted him to understand what he should do tonight.

"I understand...I understand." Quan Doufeng had the lowest status among the group, and he did not dare to resist Lu Youcheng's questioning.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you dare to come back empty-handed, you will die!" Lu Youcheng pushed Quan Doufeng hard, pushing him so hard that he almost fell down.

Sui Chengguo and others seemed to have not seen this. To deal with such a person, one must intimidate him and make him understand the consequences of refusing to contribute. In fact, Sui Chengguo, Lu Youcheng and others also hid their intentions and chose Quan Dou as the first one. It was just to let him explore the road, and then Lu Youdao would further refine the clues based on him. It would be best if he could break the situation directly. Even if not, it could pave the way for the next Sui Chengguo.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if Quan Dou is sealed. As veteran players, they can analyze a lot of things from the corpses, and even guess the taboos in some missions.

Copying Buddhist scriptures backwards should correspond to the Buddhist precept of lying. Who knows what big trouble it will cause when copying scriptures.

"By the way, why is copying scriptures backwards a lie?" Quan Doufeng, who had regained his composure, suddenly thought of this question, "Just copying scriptures, isn't that saying nothing?"

"The Buddhist warning against lying is similar to the Confucian 'faith'. If you don't lie, you won't deceive others. It also means you won't deceive your own heart. Anything that is not what you think is false." Cheng Cha explained, "Of course, this The so-called speaking also generally refers to speaking, writing, reading, thinking, and even as long as such thoughts arise in the heart, it is a precept. "

Quan Doufeng had a grimace on his face, obviously not understanding it. If any author dared to write such shit within his real work scope, he would just ban it and wait for it without any nonsense.

"To put it simply, every thought arises in our mind. We are going to copy the scriptures backward tonight, and we also know that the scriptures we copy are the opposite. This is breaking the precept. In other words, if we don't know our original intention, we are not knowing the reason. If you mistakenly copied the scriptures under certain conditions, it was not from your original intention, and it is not considered a violation of the precepts." Yang Xiao tried to explain it to him in the simplest way.

Now Quan Doufeng understood a little more. He turned to look at Cheng Cha, as if asking for his opinion. Cheng Cha smiled and said, "Absolutely."

Quan Doufeng's thinking gradually became more vivid, and he drew inferences from one instance to another, "If that's the case, I can completely deceive myself and say that I don't know. I copied the scriptures by mistake tonight. I didn't really think so. Then wouldn't this be wrong? Is it considered a violation?”

"Pa!" Before Quan Doufeng could figure out the problem, he was slapped hard on the back of his head. Lu Youcheng pulled him over and said fiercely: "Don't think deeply about these issues with your brain, you always If you understand the road truth honestly, we will burn the incense. Brother Sui and I will help you with the troublesome things. Your thinking is wrong. The more you think about it, the faster you will die. "

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of throwing stones outside the courtyard, and everyone looked at it in unison.

The third watch has arrived.

With the help of everyone, Quan Doufeng put on a dirty and smelly hood and held a stick of soul-inducing incense in his hand.

Just set off.

Watching Quan Doufeng's back go away, he finally disappeared outside the courtyard gate.

This was the first time Quan Doufeng went out to perform a mission at night. It had just rained, and the bluestone slabs under his feet were quite slippery. A gust of night wind blew through, instantly blowing through Quan Doufeng's tattered clothes. He wrapped himself tightly and sped up. He quickly reached the gate of his ancestral home.

Looking around, there seemed to be two worlds inside and outside the door. Outside the door was the sky full of fog. Although Yang Xiao and the others had heard about it before, but after seeing it with their own eyes, they still couldn't help but feel fear. The depth of the fog was constantly surging, like Something terrible is about to happen.

Quan Doufeng swallowed, clenched the soul-inducing incense in his hand, and walked quickly towards the direction of the ancestral hall in his memory. He was paying attention to the movements around him along the way. After all, according to what Yang Xiao and others said, the massacres were hidden in the mist. There are many villagers in Hanjia Village, and they are extremely numerous.

Quan Doufeng was very timid, and he was trembling with fear as he walked, fearing that a few green-faced and fanged corpses would suddenly emerge from somewhere. However, after walking along the road for a long time, he did not encounter anything unusual. The ghost villagers in the mist seemed to have disappeared en masse. .

Before he could figure it out, he suddenly felt that the fog in front of him became much thinner, and the visibility instantly increased. There seemed to be light shining down on his head, but strangely, the light turned out to be glowing with a strange red color. He suddenly Looking up, I saw a blood moon hanging in the night sky.

As the moonlight disc dissipated the fog, Quan Doufeng suddenly froze. At this moment, a huge building slowly appeared in front of him. Only then did he realize that he had reached a distance not far from the ancestral hall.

But the scene in front of him was completely different from what he remembered. At this moment, the ancestral hall had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Originally, he remembered that there was an empty land around the ancestral hall, but now there was a courtyard with tall walls surrounding the ancestral hall. The courtyard door was even more grand and grand, and the courtyard door was open as if to welcome guests.

There are large white lanterns hanging on the left and right sides of the courtyard gate. As the night wind blows, the lanterns swing left and right to reveal the words on the side.

Quan Doufeng's breathing stopped. The two red words "BU" on the top were bright red and dazzling. He immediately realized that this was not the current Bujia Village, but... but the Bujia Village decades ago!

At the same time, he also saw fresh muddy footprints on the steps outside the courtyard gate. The footprints were densely packed, one on top of the other. Some were wearing shoes, some were simply barefoot, and the toes of these footprints all rushed into the door.
