Nightmare Apostle

Before the drama started, Yang Xiao walked back and forth several times to familiarize himself with the route. The old man reminded himself that the "eaten" food should not be thrown away casually, but should be piled next to the incense burner.

After getting closer, Yang Xiao noticed that there was a long yellow paper pressed under the incense burner, like a charm. In addition to unintelligible ghostly drawings, there was also a string of birth dates on it.

I looked at four incense burners one after another. Each one had a charm pressed under it, and the birth date and birth date on it matched perfectly. It seemed that this should be Xi Mo's birth date and birth date.

After checking around and finding no problems, Yang Xiao walked back to his seat and lifted the red cloth pressed on the bamboo basket under the seat. There were four bamboo baskets, from left to right, containing raw meat, rice noodles, fresh fruits and vegetables, and finally a The basket contains candies and preserved fruits that children love to eat, and the order exactly matches those on the offering plate.

There was also a dirty rag tied to the handle of the first bamboo basket. After a few glances, Yang Xiao recognized that it was the same shroud as the one on the old man's shoulder. When he got closer, he could still see it. Smell the stench.

This thing is of great use now. After the ghost show starts, he needs to wrap these sacrifices in shrouds to cover up the smell of the sacrifices, otherwise he will easily be stared at by those ghosts on the way to deliver the sacrifices.

After the old man's narration, combined with Yang Xiao's own analysis, the task process tonight is probably clear. Su Tingting is the protagonist of the ghost show. If everything goes well, he will be temporarily possessed by Xi Mo's resentful spirit and reenact the ghost show that year. He and Kuang Hongyi Inside and outside, he is responsible for stabilizing the evil ghosts in the audience who are attracted to watch the ghost show, and ensuring that the ghost show proceeds smoothly.

As for Shi Dali and Shi Guanming, Yang Xiao thought that the two of them were by the lake now, waiting for the signal. Once it was confirmed that Su Tingting was pregnant, Kuang Hongyi would raise a red lantern. Only when Shi Dali and Shi Guanming saw the red lantern would they enter the water and look for it. Xi Mo's body.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the resentful soul of Ximo is attracted, the underwater zombies will also gather to watch the ghost show. The lake will be safe for the time being. As long as the corpse is found within the duration of the ghost show, the lake can be closed for Ximo. Eyes, you're done tonight.

It doesn't sound difficult. Most of the pressure is still on the three of them. Yang Xiao himself doesn't believe that those evil ghosts will listen to the show honestly below.

"Boring——!"

Before Yang Xiao could continue thinking, a gong suddenly made him look up. A moment later, he saw a figure walking out from behind the curtain with stiff steps. It was Su Tingting!

But Yang Xiao didn't dare to recognize Su Tingting's appearance now. He was wearing a bright red wedding dress, with the hem trailing on the ground. He was wearing a phoenix crown with gold and silver on it, studded with pearls and gems. Even in the dim light, it was still bright. Eye-catching.

The makeup was even more exquisite and delicate, with a slight application of powder, not too thick, not too light, just right, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her lips were beautiful. Yang Xiao was hundreds of blocks away. Only then did Yang Xiao understand that it wasn't that the old woman didn't know how to put on makeup, but that she wasn't prepared to do it at all. Paint well yourself!

Behind Su Tingting were four flags that could only be matched with martial arts costumes. After looking at them for a long time, Yang Xiao suddenly realized that these flags were clearly cropped soul-calling flags!

"A song of lovesickness, where can I find a lover~"

"My lover knows what I want, but there is no separation between Yin and Yang~"

"The water is cold when crossing the Yellow Spring, and Meng Po sheds two tears~"

"Even if there are all kinds of hardships, I dare not forget my lover~"

"Hey——, Yeah——"

Su Tingting sang the opening words as soon as he lit up his portrait. When Yang Xiao heard the trembling voice, he knew it was Su Tingting.

Now Su Tingting on the stage is like a puppet, with stiff movements and slow steps. Although the smile is forced on his face, it is uglier than crying. The lyrics are not in tune at all. He keeps saying one thing here and another, obviously he has not been trained well. .

In an instant, a gust of cold wind came, lowering the surrounding candlelight a bit. The paper money charm under the incense burner shook violently, and Yang Xiao was almost blinded by the dust blown up.

When he opened his eyes slightly, the scene in front of him made the hair on his body stand on end. Su Tingting's eyes trembled violently and then turned upwards. Only the whites of their eyes were left. The four-sided soul-calling flags behind him seemed to stand on the ground. The flag in the storm was blown by the wind.

After a while, Su Tingting returned to normal, but her temperament had completely changed. There was a weird smile on her face, one arm was stretched out flat, the broad sleeves of her robe were hanging down, her shoulders were raised and lowered, and her body was twisted like an ordinary person. He turned half of his body in a completely incomprehensible posture, "Ya——, ah——"

Yang Xiao felt numb at the sound, and his blood vessels seemed to be filled with ice. He could be sure that from this moment on, Su Tingting was replaced by Xi Mo, and the ghost show... officially began!

It has to be said that Xi Mo is indeed the pillar of the Bai family gatehouse. Just a few simple lines of singing and a few movements show everyone's style. The singing is sad and plaintive, making people cry when listening to it.

"Woooooooo..."

Yang Xiao's body couldn't help but stiffen. He heard the faint cry. As the singing became louder and louder, the cry became more and more obvious and sad, and... it was right behind him!

Turning his head slightly, he could see some scenes from the side and behind with his peripheral vision. They were still those weird-looking paper figures, no different.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Xiao remembered the old man's warning. He closed his left eye first, then endured the discomfort, and slowly opened his right eye, "Hiss——"

At this glance, Yang Xiao was cold from head to toe. Through the yellow paper, he saw dozens of bloated figures crowded on the seats, staring at the stage with heads several times larger than ordinary people, and their bodies were still shaking. , I don’t know if he is crying or doing some weird movements.

"See people with your left eye, see ghosts with your right eye!"

Yang Xiao held his breath and looked away, but the scene on the stage gave him another heavy blow. The originally thin Su Tingting was now as bloated as a large sack filled with water, swaying from side to side, with no sense of beauty at all, and rotten The swollen face was even bigger than the phoenix crown on his head. This was basically a soaked corpse!

What was even more frightening was that when Yang Xiao's eyes briefly rested on the face of the rotting corpse, the singing sound suddenly stopped and the movements stopped. Although Yang Xiao couldn't see clearly through the yellow paper, he actually felt a malicious sight. Xi Mo found herself on the stage!

Yang Xiao immediately lowered his head, looked away, closed his right eye and opened his left eye at the same time. The next second, everything disappeared. Su Tingting on the stage had charming movements, picturesque eyebrows, and melodious singing. The paper man sat quietly, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

His throat rolled, Yang Xiao's back was covered with cold sweat at this moment. He had just finished explaining, but it seemed that he could not use his right eye easily. The old man did not explain clearly that the right eye could not only see ghosts, but to a certain extent, it could also let ghosts see him.

"This is trouble..."
