Chapter 106 104. Accidentally Entering the "Carpenter's Shop" (Long Chapter - Please Subscribe)
At night, there was no village in front and no shop behind.
The moon was in the sky, the wild fog swept the ground, the road ahead was vast and the vision was unclear.
On such a lonely road in the wilderness, a carriage was still running fast. Seeing this weather, the driver slowed down and asked a few questions behind the curtain, then stopped the car and jumped down, tying the car to a bare old tree.
The curtain was opened, Li Yuan looked around, winter is foggy, and this mountainous land is even more so.
"Let's spend the night here."
"Yes, sir."
The driver was called Wang San, who was the boss's wife's man. He was not a warrior, but a simple man who was hardworking and measured in doing things.
After a while, Li Yuan and Wang San lit a bonfire together, and Tang Nian helped.
Pah.
Pah
The puppet held a lot of firewood, Tang Nian picked up the firewood and threw it into the blazing flames one by one.
"Master, Miss, I can do it, you take a rest," Wang San said with a silly smile.
Li Yuan said: "Wouldn't it be faster with one more pair of hands? Let's do it together."
Wang San scratched his head and said: "How can this be possible, you..."
Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, Lao Wang, do your thing."
Wang San stopped talking, just felt that the son-in-law was really good.
"How long will it take to get to Huamo County?" Li Yuan asked casually. He could only control three birds, so he had only three fixed sights, one in the mass grave to prevent accidents, one in the antelope mouth to prevent foreign enemies, and one in the Baihua Manor to prevent accidents. These three places could not be moved because he didn't know when these three places would have accidents. Therefore, he had only a vague concept of the progress of the journey.
Wang San was clear about it, and said, "Master, he should arrive tomorrow evening."
After a while, Li Yuan and Tang Nian quickly finished their dinner and got into the carriage.
There was no way to wash in the wilderness, and even to go to the toilet, they had to run far away and hide behind the trees.
After midnight, everything was silent, only the bonfire was still burning. The older girl wrapped in a blanket and leaned against the puppet to sleep in the carriage. After sleeping for a while, she saw that Li Yuan did not come, so she opened the curtain like a little adult and looked at the outer door.
Outside the door, under the stars, the boy who looked more like a brother than a foster father was sitting by the bonfire, drawing with a dry branch in his hand, and staring at the gradually dimming bonfire in a trance, wondering what he was thinking.
People are mutual.
Tang Nian lost her biological father, but began to feel the sincerity of her foster father towards her. Even if she couldn't get over it emotionally for a while, she still wanted to do something in action and words.
"Foster father, it's cold, go to bed early." The older girl shouted.
Li Yuan looked back at the big girl at the window of the carriage and said, "You go to sleep first. You can make do with it today and take a bath tomorrow night."
"Niannian is not afraid of hardship." The big girl looked determined and said, "Godfather, go to bed early."
After that, she pulled up the curtain and put her small palm on the heart of the cold puppet in the dark. She closed her eyes and whispered softly, "Dad, I will change you into the most powerful body, I will."
The next day, the carriage set off.
There was a small accident halfway. Some blind bandits intercepted Li Yuan's carriage.
This was a group of bandits with murderous auras, and there was a ninth-rank among them. Li Yuan was not polite, and didn't waste words. He just wanted to kill them with a few knives.
These bandits were the unrest factors of the three counties, so they were killed.
As a result, Tang Nian said, "Godfather, let me do it."
Li Yuan asked his adopted daughter to practice, and then Tang Nian did not leave the carriage, let alone look outside the carriage. He directly controlled the puppet to kill all the bandits, leaving no one alive.
The scene was extremely bloody, and the bandits were cut into irregular pieces by the six sword puppets.
Wang San was trembling and terrified.
Li Yuan felt a little regretful. He thought Tang Nian was just a child and wanted to master the puppets, but he didn't expect her to be so direct.
A twelve-year-old girl shouldn't do such things as killing people to silence them and eradicate the roots.
Tang Nian saw Li Yuan's thoughts and said softly: "Godfather, Niannian is not a flower in a greenhouse."
Li Yuan said: "You are still young."
Tang Nian said "Niannian is not young anymore", and then said: "Thank you, godfather."
After that, she leaned sideways towards the big puppet she had just got on the car, a little stubborn, rebellious, and didn't want to listen to some kind of preaching.
Li Yuan didn't dwell on this topic, and then said: "Did you have any good friends in the past few days in the Orange Flower Gate?"
He took Tang Nian out because he was afraid that the girl would be lonely. Originally, Xiao Sheng and Niuniu were her friends, but now the two sides have no contact. He hoped that Tang Nian would make new friends, so during the few days at Chenghuamen, he completely let Tang Nian and the younger generation of Chenghuamen hang out together.
Tang Nian was interested in toxins, and Chenghuamen also liked hidden weapons, puppets and mechanisms. Both sides were very interested in each other's power, and they naturally had topics to talk about.
In fact, toxins, hidden weapons, puppets, mechanisms, and even assassins are all connected. When combined together, they can form many quite terrible means of killing.
This is also the reason why the He family wanted to attack the Tang family before. As assassins, they wanted to integrate the power of puppets.
Tang Nian held the big puppet and said in a cold voice: "Yes, Liu Xiaoyu always comes to me. I ask her about the knowledge of toxins, and she pretends to ask me about the knowledge of puppets."
Li Yuanqi said: "Pretend?"
Tang Nian hesitated a little, but after a few breaths, he said: "The person Liu Xiaoyu is really interested in is the adoptive father. She likes the adoptive father. She misses her stepmother."
Li Yuan: ? ? ? ? ? ?
"Did she say that herself?"
"No, it was Nian Nian who thought of it herself."
Li Yuan rubbed the girl's hair and said, "Don't think too much. Liu Xiaoyu should be eighteen or nineteen years old this year. You can call her sister."
Now, he has reached the sixth rank and can no longer have children with ordinary people. His married life is also very good. The plus point is tied to Lady Yan, so he has no plan to take in another woman for the time being.
As for what to do after a hundred years?
Let's talk about it then.
The two talked intermittently to pass the boring journey.
After a while, they each did their own things. Tang Nian leaned against the big puppet, with deep thoughts in his eyes that did not belong to this age. He was obviously thinking about the formulas of puppetry.
Li Yuan was thinking about the visualization map. He guessed about the visualization map by himself, and he didn't know whether the big forces had it or not, but whether they had it or not, he had to make one himself.
He was thinking about what his visualization map should look like and how it should fit his life record.
Because of the delay caused by the bandits, when the carriage arrived at the east gate of Huamo County, it was already dark and the gate was closed.
Behind the battlements, the blazing light of the brazier pulled the patrolling figures of different lengths. In addition to the normal guards, there were two figures in white sword robes, who were disciples of the Frost Sword Sect.
Frost Sword Sect, perhaps because of the practice, only accepts female disciples, so the two patrolling people are also a girl and a middle-aged woman.
"I heard that the Blood Knife Ancestor is very young." The girl from the Frost Sword Sect was very curious.
"No matter how young he is, he is already over fifty years old. You should call him grandpa." The middle-aged woman from the Frost Sword Sect said.
The girl said, "Hey, the sixth rank is really good. He is already half a hundred years old, but he is still like a young man. Will they grow old?"
"It is said that they will not." The middle-aged woman thought for a while and said, "I heard that they will only start to age when they reach their limit."
As the two women were talking, they saw a carriage parked under the city.
Voices rolled out from the car.
"Li Yuan, I'm here to visit you."
"The Blood Blade Ancestor is here!" the middle-aged woman said, then hurriedly clasped her fists and said loudly, "Ancestor, please wait."
She ran down the city with a "dengdengdeng" sound, urging the guards to open the city gate.
A moment later, the city gate opened.
The two women entered the city with the carriage.
Li Yuan got off the carriage.
The two women said respectfully, "Meet the Ancestor."
"You're welcome. What's your name?"
"Han Ying."
"Pang Qian."
Immediately, the middle-aged female swordsman named Han Ying said, "Ancestor, please follow us."
Li Yuan said, "There's no need to arrange a welcoming banquet or a maid to serve you. I want to meet Miss Pang Yuanhua of your family."
He had done some simple homework before coming here, and knew that the current head of the Frost Sword Sect was Pang Yuanhua, the military strategist-type woman who used a clever trick to scare General Qingxiang away when General Qingxiang attacked the city. Moreover, that woman was a little special and could see the soul connection in Bai Que.
Han Ying looked embarrassed and lowered his head slightly.
Pang Qian seemed to be thinking about showing off, and said beside him: "Grandmaster, Uncle Pang is missing. We are all looking for her now."
"Pang Qian!" Han Ying said a little sternly, and then said, "Sorry, Grandmaster, the little girl didn't know the seriousness of her words."
Li Yuan looked at the middle-aged female swordsman and said, "Why do you say you don't know the seriousness of your words?"
Han Ying bowed hurriedly and said respectfully: "Grandmaster, it was Sister Pang who contacted the Blood Blade Sect before, but now that Sister Pang is missing, the Life Atlas has also disappeared. The Sect Master originally thought that you would come to the sect and then apologize to you, but I didn't expect this girl to be so quick-mouthed and actually said it directly."
"Who is the current Sect Master?" Li Yuan was a little curious.
Han Ying said, "It is Pang Dantai, the leader of my Shuangjian Sect."
Li Yuan's expression was slightly condensed, but he didn't say anything, just said, "I know."
Han Ying said, "Please follow me, ancestor."
Li Yuan smiled and nodded, saying, "The guest should follow the host's wishes, Lao Wang, follow this female hero."
Wang San, who was sitting on the imperial seat, smiled and said, "I know, sir."
After that, Li Yuan was about to get on the car. As soon as he got on the imperial seat, he suddenly turned around and shouted, "Miss Pang?"
Pang Qian didn't respond.
Li Yuan called again: "Miss Pang."
Pang Qian came back to her senses, pointed at herself, and said in a confused face: "Are you calling me?"
Han Ying next to her said: "Don't be so rude!"
Pang Qian apologized in fear, and then carefully and curiously looked at the legendary Blood Knife Ancestor. He really looked about the same age as her.
Li Yuan said gently: "I'm new here and I'm not familiar with this place. Miss Pang, can you get in the car and tell me about the customs and customs of Huamo County.
I have a daughter in the car, so it's not like a single man and a single woman in the same room. Miss Pang, don't worry."
Pang Qian said willingly: "Okay."
Han Ying hurriedly stopped her and said: "Pang Qian, don't be rude!"
Li Yuan said: "Why are you rude?"
Han Ying hurriedly said that she didn't dare, and let Pang Qian climb onto the carriage and get into the carriage.
Tang Nian sat in the corner coldly, making way a little, but then sniffed in surprise, because she smelled a faint fragrance on Pang Qian, which smelled good.
Pang Qian lowered her head, then carefully looked up at the young Blood Blade Ancestor opposite her. It was her first time seeing a sixth-rank master, and she was very nervous. She gently pinched the hem of her sword robe with both hands, and her long legs were tightly together.
Li Yuan said: "Miss Pang."
"Ancestor!" Pang Qian raised her head in a hurry.
"Is Pang Yuanhua really missing?"
"Yes, the sect master and the nun of Fuyue Temple disappeared before, and Uncle Pang has been investigating their whereabouts, but he didn't find anything and got sick.
A few days ago, the sect master and the nun suddenly appeared again, but Uncle Pang disappeared.
At that time, Uncle Pang replied to the letter from the Blood Knife Sect, and the Life Atlas was also in Uncle Pang's hands.
Now she has suddenly disappeared, and the sect master and the nun are looking for her everywhere."
"Where did the sect master and the nun disappear? Did you go there to look for Miss Pang?"
"No." Pang Qian thought, holding her chin with her fingers, and said, "But. I heard someone say before that it seemed to be in a carpenter's house. There was a serial disappearance case in the county before, and the sect master and the nun went to that carpenter. The carpenter's house was investigated. Later, Uncle Pang also went there and got sick.
Everyone was very scared, and some people said that the carpenter's shop was a ghost place, but the master and the nun came back fine. They said that it was not a ghost place, but it was a very magical place. They just walked inside, but when they came out, almost two years had passed outside. "
Li Yuan's pupils shrank, he opened the curtain and looked out the window. Huamo County was still quite lively at night, with people coming and going in the downtown area. In front of the restaurant, there were people shouting "Snow mash, Hengwu Restaurant's snow mash, limited quantity, first come first served".
Hengwu Restaurant was famous in the three counties a long time ago. Restaurants from all over the country often went to Hengwu to order wine. This one was probably one of them.
"Stop."
Li Yuan suddenly shouted.
The carriage stopped.
Pang Qian said, "Old Ancestor, do you want to drink?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "No, I want to put the girl down."
"Oh, yes, we have walked so far, I will go down now." Pang Qian stuck out her tongue, opened the curtain and jumped off the carriage.
Then, the curtain was opened again, Li Yuan leaned against the window and shouted, "Miss Han, Miss Pang, since there is no life atlas here, I will not enter the city. I have something important to do. Goodbye."
This was too sudden, Han Ying and Pang Qian were stunned and stood there, not reacting for a while.
Han Ying hurriedly said, "Old Ancestor, is it because we didn't treat you well? The master, the master has already set up a banquet and is waiting for you in front."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Then thank her for me."
After that, he put down the curtain and said, "Old Wang, turn around and go back."
Everyone was stunned, even Tang Nian looked at his adoptive father in surprise, not knowing what happened.
"Old Wang."
Li Yuan said coldly.
Old Wang, who was sitting on the imperial seat, finally came to his senses, turned the carriage around, and drove back in the direction he came from.
"Leave the city, hurry up."
Li Yuan continued.
Old Wang whipped his whip and shouted "Go", the carriage wheels turned very fast, and soon arrived in front of the city gate. Seeing that the ancestor had gone back and forth, the guards did not dare to stop him, so they hurriedly opened the city gate.
Not long after, several fast horses came quickly at the end of the street, and the woman in the lead was wearing a dark sword robe different from ordinary disciples. She looked majestic and full of the aura of a superior, and the two swords behind her were also very conspicuous.
After the woman arrived, she jumped off the horse again, and the city guards hurriedly saluted and shouted "Meet the master".
This was the master of the Frost Sword Sect, Pang Dantai.
"Where is the ancestor?"
"The ancestor has left the city."
"How long?"
"Almost two incense sticks of time."
"Got it."
Pang Dantai looked a little bad, and she turned her head to look at the two disciples who came to greet her.
Han Ying and Pang Qian both hurriedly pleaded guilty.
"Forget it, maybe the ancestor has other things to do." Pang Dantai said, "Tomorrow, I will let Sanniang take you two. Forget it, I will let Sanniang go to the Blood Knife Sect to apologize and ask for clarification."
Outside the city, in the wilderness, the white fog rose again, and the sky and the earth seemed hazy.
Tang Nian couldn't help but ask curiously: "Foster father, why do we have to leave?"
Li Yuan said: "The girl who came up has a corpse odor on her body, don't you smell it?"
"Corpse odor?" Tang Nian was immediately frightened, her little heart was cold, and the cold air was whizzing. The whole person subconsciously hugged the cold big puppet tightly. She dared to kill people, but she was still afraid of ghosts.
She thought about it, and after a long time, she said: "I only smelled the fragrance."
"What kind of fragrance?"
"It's like a kind of vanilla, it's wood fragrance."
"But the wood fragrance hides the corpse odor."
Li Yuan closed his eyes and recalled.
He had heard about the serial disappearances that had occurred in Huamo County. Miss Pang Yuanhua had even written a letter asking for help. This time he went there, firstly to consult the Life Atlas, and secondly to talk to Pang Yuanhua about the disappearances.
Pang Yuanhua had disappeared, and he felt strange, so he specially called a disciple to get on the car, and as a result, he smelled the stench of corpses.
"Old Wang, do you smell the stench of corpses?" Li Yuan shouted again.
The driver was also frightened by the conversation in the car, and trembled at this time: "Sir, I don't have it either."
Li Yuan thought about it, maybe he had smelled a very faint stench of corpses on crows, so he was sensitive to this smell?
"Master, where are we going now?"
"Find a wilderness and stay outside tonight."
"Yes, Master."
In the dark, Li Yuan felt goose bumps rising in rows. Maybe he had experienced it several times, and this time, he was not so scared.
But Tang Nian was so scared that he moved over and leaned against Li Yuan.
"Godfather, is it really a ghost?"
"As long as there is a slight possibility, Godfather will not take the risk.
So in the situation just now, the adoptive father chose to leave the city instead of going to find out what was going on despite knowing the danger. "
"I understand. But foster father, what should we do next? Go back to Shanbao County at dawn?"
Li Yuan thought for a while and smiled: "Wait for one person first."
"Who is it?"
"Pang Yuanhua."
"Isn't she missing?"
“But that was what a man with corpse odor told me.
The more she says that Pang Yuanhua is missing, the safer Pang Yuanhua might be. "
"What if she doesn't come?"
"Every year, as long as there is a slight possibility, my adoptive father will wait."
Li Yuan looked into the distance, the wasteland was pale in the moonlight.
There are more and more of these damn ghosts. Sooner or later, we will face them head-on. Instead of facing them passively, it is better to understand them in advance.
The night is getting darker.
Tang Nian held Li Yuan's arm, while Li Yuan looked out the window.
The carriage stopped on a high slope, where you could observe the surrounding scene. There was a small river behind the high slope. Although it was not drinkable directly, it was still good for cleaning things.
In the distance, a white sparrow was flying from north to south, heading towards where Li Yuan was.
Li Yuan gave up guarding Lingyangkou.
next day
It's sunny.
As the sunshine fell, Tang Nian huddled in the carriage. She felt that she had learned a lot during this trip, and she was still learning.
She had to admit that her adoptive father was really a very special man. He was not "just a strong man from a small border county" as she had thought before.
She suddenly felt blushing because she had said before that she would "defeat her adoptive father", but she still wanted to stick to this goal, just as chasing after her adoptive father's back.
Li Yuan "returned to his old business" and went to the wilderness to hunt two hares and a pheasant.
Prey is hard to find in deep winter, but this does not include a sixth-grade expert like Li Yuan.
Skillfully light the fire, clean it, roast it, and then divide the meat.
The day passed like this.
the next day.
Bai Que arrived.
The third day.
Li Yuan was sitting on a high slope thinking about the Life Illustration. From the jungle in the distance, a figure in gray clothes was hurriedly coming.
In front of the gray-clothed figure, there is a white bird flying.
A figure in gray clothes quickly approached. He was a thin man with his face covered and a hood on. It was unclear whether he was a man or a woman.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's our first time meeting you, Miss Pang Pang."
He originally tried it, but he didn't expect it to succeed.
Pang Yuanhua could see the soul connection on Bai Que. She saw Bai Que, so she followed Bai Que and saw herself.
The figure in gray clothes took off the mask, revealing his skinny face. He leaned forward and said, "It's really rude of Yuanhua to come to see senior in such an ugly state."
"Goooooooooo."
Shanbao County, Yinxifang, inner city.
When Tie Sha saw a homing pigeon landing, he raised his hand to wave, took off the letter paper, and scattered a handful of rice.
"It's an urgent report from Frost Sword Sect. Didn't this ancestor just go to their place? Why are you reporting urgently at this time?"
Tie Sha spread it out curiously, and his body froze when he saw it.
There were four blood-red words written on the paper. The handwriting was extremely sloppy, showing the haste of the person who wrote the letter.
Those four words are: If there is a ghost, don’t come! !
Iron kill suddenly arises.
Calculating the time, the ancestor should have arrived in Huamo County.
What should I do?
The ancestor is completely ignorant. In this case, he will just plunge into Huamo County, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
But who can know this kind of thing in advance?
"Damn it, why did you come just now?"
Tie Sha paced back and forth, thought for a while and hurried out, shouting: "Gather the men and follow me out of the city!"
Shanbao County couldn't lose his ancestor. Although he didn't know if it would be useful to go at this time, he had to go. Even if it was too late to respond outside the county, he could at least find out what was going on.
"I didn't expect that senior didn't receive my letter, but he still left early. Yuanhua really admires me."
The skinny eldest lady looked at the young ancestor opposite.
"It's just a fluke." Li Yuandao, "What happened?"
"We encountered a ghost realm"
"A lot of people have died in Huamo County, or are there heavy grievances?"
"No. Our Huamo County is not big. There are only four villages in total, so there is no black market. Even the corpses are buried outside the county." Pang Yuanhua said, "Senior, are you trying to figure out the formation of the ghost realm?"
Li Yuan nodded.
Pang Yuanhua said: "This formation probably has nothing to do with resentment.
The ghost land in our county is a carpenter's shop.
Anyone who enters the carpenter's shop will be stared at by the carpenter and then disappear from the world.
At first, there should have been a few people who accidentally entered the carpenter's shop.
Later, many people came in.
This is the truth behind the serial disappearances.
After the disappearance case occurred, I, the master of Shuangjian Sect, and Master Fuyue'an also began to investigate. They must have been to the carpenter's shop, so they also disappeared.
Later, more and more people disappeared. I just came back from abroad, so I started to investigate.
Later, I also found the carpenter's shop and walked in. "
Li Yuan's expression condensed slightly.
Pang Yuanhua said: "The carpenter's shop is empty, there is nothing.
I turned around and went out.
But since then, I have become sick and become weaker and weaker.
I originally thought I would die like this, but just a few days ago, I opened the door of my room, but instead of returning to my room, I re-entered the carpenter's shop.
This time, the carpenter's shop was not empty. Instead, there was a strange man wielding a hammer and carving wood carvings. The shelf behind him was filled with dolls, and there was a stove next to the shelf.
I asked him something, but he didn't answer. Then I saw the paleness of his face, and the cold, resentful, numbness of his pupils. Those eyes were not human at all.
I glanced at the dolls on the wooden stand, and found the dolls of Pang Tantai Sect Master and Master Fuyue'an. The two dolls were lifelike, with expressions of fear on their faces, but they were placed on the wooden stand. superior.
I wanted to take the dolls away, but the two dolls were extremely heavy. I couldn't lift them even with all my strength.
But at this moment, the weird carpenter seemed to have finished his work. He suddenly stood up, grabbed a puppet on the edge of the wooden frame and threw it into the stove with a "snap".
The puppet screamed, just like a living person screaming when being burned.
Then, the weird carpenter placed a new doll on the wooden stand.
I know that new doll.
He is our nephew Pang Qian.
I looked at the nephew Pang Qian on the wooden stand. The nephew's face was full of fear and panic. Her eyes were still rolling, and then she looked at me with eyes asking for help.
I was scared and ran away in a hurry.
That same day, I met Senior Nephew Pang Qian again. Originally, Senior Nephew Pang Qian was almost the same as me. She was sick, her flesh and blood were exhausted, and she was skin and bones. But suddenly she recovered from her illness. She was recovering quickly, and she was still talking and laughing with people.
Then, I suddenly heard another disciple say that the missing sect leader and Master Fuyue'an were back.
I thought things were too weird, so I hurriedly wrote a letter, saying there was a ghost and asking you not to come.
At the same time, he escaped with the Life Illustration, which was another preparation in case you didn't see the letter. "
Pang Yuanhua spoke eloquently, but Tang Nian, who was listening with his ears pricked up, was already terrified, and his body froze there without moving.
Li Yuandao: "So, you are avoiding the door. You are afraid that there is a carpenter's shop behind the door, because there may be a carpenter's shop behind any door."
Pang Yuanhua said: "Yes. In fact, I have been outside the city. Your white sparrow also discovered me outside the city.
I dare not pass the door because I have already guessed how the Carpenter's Ghost Realm works."
Li Yuandao: "Anyone who enters the carpenter's shop will be seen by the carpenter ghost, who will quickly carve puppets.
When the puppet is complete, the real person will be replaced by the ghost, and the real person himself will enter the puppet and be placed on the wooden stand of the carpenter ghost.
However, there will be times when the wooden frame is full. Once it is full, the carpenter ghost's movements will slow down. He needs to discard a puppet before he can put a new puppet. "
Pang Yuanhua said: "If the wooden frame is not full, the people who meet the carpenter will be left in the carpenter's shop, so they disappear.
When the wooden racks are full, people who enter the carpenter's shop will queue up. Just like me and nephew Pang Qian, we can still live outside, but because of the carpenter's curse, our flesh and blood begin to dry up.
The carpenter will burn the dolls on the shelf, and people in the queue will slowly replenish them.
They will open the door, but no matter what door they open, there will only be a carpenter's shop behind the door. Then, they will be replaced by ghosts, and they themselves will become puppets on the wooden frame. "
She lowered her head slightly and said softly: "Whether it is Master Pang Tantai, Master Fuyue'an, or nephew Pang Qian, they are no longer human."
"But why did the ghost do this?" Li Yuan asked.
Pang Yuanhua said: "I asked about the carpenter's shop.
There used to be a carpenter living in the shop, and the carpenter's name was Shen Jiliang.
He is a very withdrawn person and seldom communicates with others. At first, he did some work outside, but later he stopped doing it after making some money.
He returned to his house and found a matchmaker to arrange a marriage, but he was deceived. Fortunately, we found the liar and helped him get his money back.
Later, Shen Jiliang got a strange disease again. The doctor didn't know what it was, so he said it was a strange disease.
At first, he lost feeling in his feet, then below his knees, and then the paralysis continued to spread, as if it was about to engulf him.
Shen Jiliang spent all his money but did not get treatment.
Because he has no friends, no one cares about him on weekdays.
It was not until later that someone smelled the stench of corpses when passing by the door of his house, and then they entered the house and discovered Shen Jiliang, who had long since rotted and was covered in insects.
He died while sitting in a chair, with his head tilted to one side. He was probably paralyzed, and then the feeling of paralysis slowly spread over his body, neck, and head.
I don't even know if he was conscious at the end.
If so, then this way of death is really terrible and cruel.
Later I heard that several puppets were found in the house, and they were not very pretty."
Li Yuandao: "Then everything is correct."
Pang Yuanhua's dull pupils stared at the ground silently, "Yes, the carpenter ghost is Shen Jiliang, at least its killing method is related to Shen Jiliang."
At this moment, for some reason, Li Yuan suddenly thought of the dream Mrs. Yan said.
In the dream, it was pitch black, as if covered with a thick layer of cloth, the window had iron bars, and outside the bars was a light so dazzling that it seemed to burn the soul.
this.
Where is the house?
These are clearly the iron cages used to load live goods on black market bullock carts.
Black market ghost land! When did you get involved with your wife? !
After realizing this, Li Yuan's heart tightened.
He looked at the girl in front of him and said, "How can I help you?"
Pang Yuanhua smiled bitterly and said, "You have helped me by knowing this news. I hope you can use this news reasonably to let more people survive.
And I will continue to live in the wild. Let's see how long I can live.
Don't worry, senior, there are still people helping me.
I also have some self-protection power."
Li Yuan had no intention of continuing to find out the secret, so he wanted to invite her to get on the car, but when he saw the curtain, he thought to himself: Isn't that also a door?
So he gave up the idea and got on the car to get some silver for her, which was also a small contribution, and then he wanted to go home quickly.
He got on the imperial seat, raised his hand and pushed the curtain, and walked in.
A pungent smell of sawdust suddenly came, and the strange "clang clang" sound of the iron chisel scratching the hardwood sounded from time to time. The blood-red wooden rack was at the end of the sight, and twisted puppets with different expressions were placed on the rack. The ground was covered with thin wood rolls and sawdust.
The strange man had numb and resentful eyes, squatting not far away, holding a red wood chisel in one hand and a rusty iron hammer in the other, carving something.
Li Yuan's pupils shrank, and his scalp was numb instantly.
He turned his head and saw that the door he came from was gone!
His heart was beating, and his mind moved. The shadow blood around him suddenly emerged and squeezed out from the pores, making him instantly a bloody man, and every inch of his skin was covered with his own shadow blood.
The next moment, he stepped on the ground, turned around, and "banged" into the wall of the carpenter's shop behind him.
Then
Bang!
He reappeared outside the carpenter's shop and fell heavily on the land in the wilderness.
The sudden change shocked Wang San, Tang Nian, and Pang Yuanhua.
How did the Blood Knife Ancestor suddenly become a bloody man?
"Godfather, what's wrong with you?"
"Senior!"
Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."
Then he turned his head and looked at Pang Yuanhua and said, "You go."
"Senior?"
"Go!"
Pang Yuanhua didn't know what happened, so he stood up and saluted carefully, then left.
A white bird flew high and followed Pang Yuanhua out of sight.
But after following for a circle, he didn't find anything unusual.
So the white bird landed again and brought Pang Yuanhua back.
Then, Li Yuancai said: "I'm in the carpenter's shop, do you have any solution?"
Pang Yuanhua was stunned, then realized something and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, senior."
Li Yuan said coldly: "Maybe the next puppet of this carpenter's shop is stuck here, so the doors opened around you are all the doors of the carpenter's shop!"
