Chapter 7: Trial of the Hundred Ancestral Tombs(1/2)
"Muzi, Luoluo?"
When Chen Mu and Chen Mu were alert, an old and anxious voice came. It should be the accent of the first principal's hometown, but it was easy to understand.
"Ah! Don't you know this is a place like this? How did you two little guys end up in a place like this?"
As if because they recognized Chen Mu, the thin figure hurried over, looked at the "brother and sister" worriedly, and then looked around nervously.
The light was really dim, and I could only see the blurry appearance of the person who came: over sixty years old, thin and lean, dressed in linen gray clothes, with a pipe and sickle attached to his waist, and a long, wrinkled, brown face full of panic.
Li Luo was naturally wary of this person and subconsciously approached Chen Mu. Chen Mu had no information about this person in his mind. In addition to being wary of strangers, he was more nervous because of the panicked look of the old man.
"Don't make any noise, walk, walk, stay away from me."
The old man saw nothing unusual, so he cautiously motioned for the two of them to follow. The two looked at each other and saw the hesitation in each other's eyes. Chen Mu made a decisive decision, gently held Li Luo's hand and followed.
"Old man, we still have to go to school. It's too dark. Can you help us find the way?"
"Is life or school more important?"
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, feeling that the old man seemed to know something, so he continued to ask: "Why is this related to fate?"
The old man turned around and shouted angrily: "You two little guys really don't know the heights of the world. Is this a place where you can come in casually? If my watchdog hadn't woken me up with his strange barking, you two would have
I don’t know that I will be punished.”
"Why?"
"Didn't your parents tell you? There are a lot of filth in these ancestral graves. After the sun sets at night and before the sun comes up during the day, this is their time to go out. You must not come here."
What the old man said was true, and Chen Mu and Chen Mu had experienced it personally. For a moment, it felt as if a dark wind was blowing by, making the necks of the three of them feel cold.
"Come on, hurry up, they're disturbed."
The old man shuddered and hurriedly speeded up. Chen Mu pulled Li Luo and hurriedly followed. I don't know if it was psychological trouble, but they always felt like something was chasing behind them.
Ta-ta-
The world was far away, and the footsteps of several people echoed in the air. Suddenly, Li Luo noticed something unusual.
"Wait a minute, listen, there seem to be other footsteps."
"They're going home. Keep your head down. If you keep walking, hurry up and don't block the road."
After listening to Li Luo's words, the old man became even more serious, and his legs were eager to take off. Chen Mu and Chen Mu had goosebumps all over their bodies, and followed the old man's instructions to walk at a low speed and speed up.
Fortunately, the old man's residence was not far from here, and the three of them soon left the Baizu Cemetery.
"You can talk here. You two, why don't you go to the main road to make trouble in the dark and numb place?"
Just after they came out of the grassland, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and blamed him. He looked around and said: "You are just newborn calves and you are not afraid of tigers. You don't know anything about what happened before. Why did Grandpa Lanlan go there? Can anyone tell you? That's right.
It’s hard to walk this way at night.”
The two of them were confused, wondering who Lan Lan was?
For some reason, Li Luo felt more at ease when being pulled by someone. Not only was he not afraid, but he asked out of curiosity: "Grandpa, what is on this road?"
"Hundred Ancestor Tombs, Bai Ancestor Tombs, do you think you just call it casually? I don't know how many people have been buried since ancient times. If you have any questions, go back and ask your parents. I can only tell you that as long as the sun doesn't come out, you can't go there on the main road."
Look at Baizu Tomb, if you hear someone calling your name, you can’t agree or turn around, remember?”
The two of them nodded repeatedly, and were frightened by the old man's encouraging attitude.
Woof woof——
Sure enough, it was a strange barking. Chen and Mu looked up and found that the three of them had arrived in front of two thatched houses. The old man pointed to the lighted one and spoke.
"We've arrived at my house. The door is open. You go in and sit down first. I'll get some materials to light the fire. You two come out of this place in the middle of the night. You must use fire to drive away the evil spirits."
"Sorry for bothering you, old man!"
Chen Mu and Chen Mu were very moved. They watched the old man go away before entering the house. The dog also lay down obediently.
"You can let go."
"Ah! Oh! Sorry, I'm a little too nervous."
Li Luo smiled and did not answer, but stepped into the house first, followed by Chen Mu chattering.
The house was very simple, with a kerosene lamp on the table in the main hall.
"Luoluo? Muzi? You two siblings don't go to school and come to my house to cause trouble?"
It turned out that there was an old woman in the room, grinding beans by the lamp. She obviously knew Chen Mu and she immediately asked in confusion.
"Hello, mother-in-law, it was grandpa who asked us to come. He went to collect the materials."
The old woman trembled when she heard this, and looked at Muzi with piercing eyes: "Did he really ask you to come here? Where did you meet him?"
"It's right at Baizu Tomb!"
The old woman's face changed drastically, she hurriedly threw down the beans and ran to the door, quickly pulled the two of them into the house, then looked carefully outside the house, then hurriedly closed the door and bolted it.
Chen Mu was puzzled and asked hurriedly: "Mother-in-law, what are you doing?"
"You two little brats, you encountered something dirty. My wife has been gone for several years."
Chen Mu and Chen Mu were shocked. Their hearts were beating so fast that they almost lost their breath. They felt that the pores all over their bodies were itching. Subconsciously, their faces turned pale and they leaned together.
"Could it be that we got the wrong door?"
Li Luo asked in disbelief. The old woman looked around and then replied: "You are not the first to meet me. Lan Lan's grandfather also met him before, and then... alas!"
Chen Mu and Chen Mu felt chills all over their bodies when they heard this: Is this how Lan Lan's grandfather went?
"You guys sit down. I have two talismans for you. I gave them to you after that incident. They can keep you safe."
The old woman was obviously frightened and hurriedly ran into the back room. Chen Mu and Chen Mu looked at each other with their hearts pounding. Just as they were about to sit down, there was another knock on the door outside the house.
"Why is the door closed? I'm hugging you. Which one of you will open it for me?"
"what to do?"
"Don't be afraid, it's all a dream."
In order to show his brother's courage, Chen Mu hesitated a little and opened the door latch.
The old man was a little dissatisfied. As he entered the house, he complained: "What a strange thing happened to you two. Why did you lock the owner's house out?"
"Grandpa, you misunderstood. It was your wife who locked you up."
When the old man heard this, he was so frightened that he dropped his hands and looked at Chen Mu in panic: "My wife? Where is she?"
"I went into the back room to look for something."
"Oh! How come the dirty things got into my house? What a disaster."
Chen Mu and Chen Mu were surprised: "What happened again?"
"You don't know, don't you? I've never been married in my life, where can I find a wife?"
The two of them were horrified: What happened?
"You guys hide well, I'll go meet her. As the saying goes, evil will not prevail against good, so I don't believe she can still be a guest."
The old man was frightened and angry. He looked around the house and saw the fire stick. He picked it up and went inside.
Chen Mu and Chen Mu looked at each other, not knowing who to believe. Suddenly they noticed movement outside the door, and when they saw it, an old woman with gray hair stuck her head out.
"I'm just telling you, why is there light in this room? It turns out it's you two. You're so brave. Why don't you come out quickly? Otherwise, I'll tell your mother."
Chen Mu and Chen Mu looked strange: Are they acquaintances again?
Seeing that the two of them did not move, the old woman went directly into the room to pull her, and shouted: "You two are not allowed to come here even if you are hiding from school. People have died in there. You don't know. Grandpa and grandma of Lanlan's family are not careful."
We took rat poison and left together."
The two heard their hearts bursting, but finally knew the truth: the two old men were both ghosts.
"The situation is a bit complicated. Do we still need to use conventional methods to deal with it?"
Leaning next to Chen Mu, Li Luo asked in a low voice, she had already begun to think about quitting.
"Otherwise, what should we do? The dream world of a sixth-level dream master is not something we can resolve."
"Muzi, Luoluo, where are you going? Come and sit at my house!"
Before the two of them could discuss the outcome, a gloomy call came from behind them, making their scalps numb and their blood flowing backwards. When they turned around, they saw two old men standing at the door waving to them.
"You guys hurry up, I'm going home."
The old man was so frightened that he rushed into his house as quickly as possible and closed the door.
"run!"
Chen Mu and Chen Mu were so frightened that their hands and feet trembled. They were so frightened that they had to use special methods to relieve their fear. Without hesitation, they held hands and ran away.
The sky was slightly bright, and they could see clearly a hundred meters away, but Chen Mu and Chen Mu were already panicking. No matter how fast they were, they could still feel the footsteps of the pursuers behind them.
I don't know how far they ran, but suddenly, the two of them lost their feet and fell to the ground unprepared.
Getting up in a panic, the two of them were stunned by the sight before them: they were back in the tomb again, and the zombie was facing away from them.
"Luoluo, stand behind me. Don't run away this time. Facing zombies is better than experiencing the weird experience before."
