Chapter 7 Scream

A donkey cart was speeding through the mountains and fields, as hasty as a bereaved dog and as busy as a fish that slipped through the net.

After a while, the donkey couldn't bear it anymore and stopped to pant. Then the two people in the car began to breathe again.

In the night, only heavy breathing could be heard, and no one spoke.

It took a while before anyone asked.

"What just happened?"

The two asked in unison.

…

There was silence for a while, and Tang Zhao said: "Brother Feng has been around the world for a long time and has seen a lot. Do you know what happened to the group of crows just now?"

Sui Feng said: "I was just going to ask you, you read a lot, do you know what's going on? How can a person conjure a crow out of thin air?"

Tang Zhaodao: "I have read a lot of books, but I have turned into a crow, but those are all made up!"

To be honest, the stories he had heard since he was a child were full of bizarre things. Not to mention turning into a crow, but also turning into a phoenix, a monster, a Transformer... Anyway, nothing was surprising. But even if he was only twelve years old, he knew

The things in the story are unbelievable.

In the real world, in the world he lives in, the only people who transcend ordinary people are martial artists. Children know that only martial arts masters can fly over walls, break mountains and rocks, and touch extraordinary places, so the only thing he really longs for is martial arts.

As for the common celestial arts, magic, superpowers, etc., he has never seen or even heard of them outside. He has never made up the rumors in the market. They are simply out of tune with the world.

There are at most ghosts in this world.

…

Is it really the legendary ghost?

But……

He picked up the longevity lock, which was the amulet that saved him this time.

"ah……"

When Sui Feng heard the exclamation, he turned around like a frightened bird and said hastily: "What's wrong?"

Tang Zhao spread his hands and saw that the jade was very shiny and smooth under the moonlight, as smooth as a mirror.

"It's actually whole again!"

The shocking crack on the jade stone disappeared.

Sui Feng frowned and said, "What's complete? Has it been broken before?"

Tang Zhao said: "It was broken before and there was a crack. You may not have noticed..."

Sui Feng asked puzzledly: "When did it happen? You were unconscious on the carriage before and you were still holding on to the longevity lock. I wanted to take it off for you, but unfortunately you held it too tightly. You were fine then, just like you are now.

.”

…

Tang Zhao didn't speak for a long time.

Sui Feng suddenly reacted and looked at Tang Zhao.

A chill spread freely in the silence.

Tang Zhao pulled the cotton coat tighter on his body, but it could not stop the coldness coming from his spinal cord.

Sui Feng slowly sat on the carriage shaft and said softly: "Dad said that children have the most true eyes and can see many things that adults cannot see."

Tang Zhao said: "Is it related to ghosts..."

Before he finished speaking, Sui Feng had already pressed his mouth and shouted: "Nonsense! I don't know the taboo! It's late at night... Why are you talking about this in this deserted place?"

In addition to martial arts in this world, ghosts are also an indispensable topic in market gossip and storytelling. It’s just that martial arts masters are mostly associated with power, majesty, wealth, fame, or legends, while ghosts represent weirdness, disaster, and catastrophe for the common people.

Although ghosts are also strange and unpredictable, they are also real.

should be……

Is it true that a sinister disaster swept across the world, a devil's cave came to the world, and countless families were destroyed?

It's just that the ghost is not close to Tang Zhao. Since he was a child, he has never heard of any relatives or friends who were actually harmed by the ghost, not even those in the same street, the same house or even the same city. Although neighbors and friends occasionally talked about it,

They all had mysterious and frightened expressions on their faces, but it seemed to Tang Zhao that they didn't really feel the fear like a sword hanging above their heads.

Real fear is not just nonsense that you talk about after dinner. It is something that makes you change your face when you hear it, makes you feel frightened when you talk about it, and makes you avoid it as much as possible.

Just like Sui Feng.

Has he really encountered a ghost?

There are some things that, no matter how vicious they have never been seen before, they are always ignored. This was the case with Tang Zhao before. He had always secretly suspected the existence of ghosts.

Because what he has learned since elementary school is different from others, he has a sense of superiority that "everyone is drunk and I am alone."

Until I saw this scene tonight.

Night, deep mountains, deserted villages, evil people, crows...

If this is not a ghost, what else is a ghost?

Will the shadow crow be the power of the ghost?

Can humans also drive ghosts?

This is not surprising in the story, and it’s not that he couldn’t accept it.

However, Tang Zhao felt otherwise.

The invisible wall that he released from his longevity lock also released the invisible wall. Although it was completely different from the crow, it bloomed from the cracked jade, so it seemed to come from the same source.

What I have here is not spooky at all, but an orthodox protective force - at least it looks like it.

And the person who gave him the treasure did not look like a monster in terms of status and temperament.

What secrets are there in this world?

Sui Feng sighed quietly.

"Just know it yourself, don't say it casually. In fact... it's possible." He said softly, "Most of those people just now came from that kind of place." He made a gesture.

"That kind of place...oh?" Tang Zhao said in surprise, "Demon..."

The word "hole" at the back was swallowed.

Ghosts, devil's caves, ferocious beasts, and the misfortune moon are all a series of words that are connected and entangled with each other. They are the nightmares of people all over the world.

Under the misfortune moon, the devil's cave descends out of thin air. Dark ghosts appear everywhere, invading people's souls, and ferocious evils run rampant, leading beasts to eat people. Within a hundred miles, the people are devastated and turned into ghosts and monsters.

It's for evil.

Sui Feng had just reminded him not to say taboo words easily. He didn't call her by his full name, but he still couldn't help but asked curiously: "How can you tell?"

Sui Feng said: "That place... is definitely not the innermost place, but the surrounding areas that were affected by the disaster. They are called 'Yinhui Township'. After the disaster, a large number of refugees fled. They are very pitiful, but no one dares to touch them.

.Because they have yin energy in their bodies, which may bring disaster."

Tang Zhao hesitated to speak, and Sui Feng continued: "And they are easy to recognize. They have some marks on their bodies. I saw someone on the road before. He was well-dressed, so it was not strange. He was scratched while walking.

Half of my arm was exposed, with black burn marks all over it. Suddenly there was an explosion on the street, and everyone fled in all directions. Dad also quickly told me to stay away to avoid the disaster."

Tang Zhao asked: "What happened to that man later?"

"How? The government officials captured him. He shouldn't be running around. The government designated a place for these refugees outside the city and told them to live there. They had enough food and clothing, but they were not allowed to come out. So Dad also

He said, if you see someone who is wearing very tight clothes on the road, you must be careful. Besides, you should also be careful if you are bald."

Although the night was dark and the cold wind was blowing into his body, Tang Zhao couldn't help but laugh and said: "What's wrong with baldness? People are not allowed to be bald?"

Sui Feng said: "It's not that I look down on bald heads. People who come from disaster towns are most likely to show their bad luck in their hair. Withering and falling hair is one thing, but it can also become very strange. In order not to be looked down upon by others, those who

Most people have shaved their heads or wear big hats."

Tang Zhao suddenly remembered that all the children just now had sparse hair, and the girl also wore a hat to cover her head. It suddenly occurred to her that if one or two of them had no hair, it might be a coincidence. Most of the children at such a young age were bald, so naturally there was something weird about it.

.

He then asked doubtfully: "Since everyone avoids them, why do traffickers still want to catch the children in the hometown? Even if they are unscrupulous, don't buyers also avoid it?"

Sui Feng hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, there have been rumors that some children in Huoxiang will be targeted by others, and their destinations are different from ordinary children. Some forces specialize in them."

Tang Zhao said horrified: "What kind of force is it?"

Sui Feng shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, I just heard about it. But if that master is really an official, those forces are not some shady and evil ways, right? Maybe the serious forces want it too."

The slender iron chain and the little girl being beaten flashed in Tang Zhao's mind, and he said: "What kind of bullshit serious force can this be?"

Sui Feng sighed and said: "Anyway, they are all powerful forces that we can't imagine. Don't talk about right and wrong. It is a taboo of heaven not to mention disasters, and it is a taboo of humans not to mention nobles. Disasters come from the mouth. You are a smart man, and you have read

Books and traveling around the world are enough for you. Just don’t be too impulsive. Today you are impulsive."

Tang Zhao said helplessly: "I know. I shouldn't have stared at the trafficker's hand just now. If I hadn't stared at his ring finger and didn't show any abnormalities, I wouldn't have caused trouble later. Later, he used words to test my identity.

I didn’t recognize the ring, so I wasn’t on guard. If I didn’t ask him to test it out, he wouldn’t necessarily turn his back..."
