Chapter 132 The ghost outside the door [please vote]

His gray hair and wrinkled face revealed a sarcastic look, his stooped body, his head lowered, and his cloudy eyes were always secretly looking at Xu Changsheng.

"Eat, Housheng, you eat more."

Mrs. Wang struggled to raise her right hand and couldn't stop waving it. There were black dirt everywhere on her hand.

Xu Changsheng lost much of his appetite, but his stomach couldn't stop rumbling.

On the table was a bowl of fried black wild vegetables and two small bowls of corn mixed with rice bran.

After Xu Changsheng saw it, he lost his appetite even more.

But this Gejia Village is just a small village, not to mention restaurants, not even a place to sell vegetables.

Xu Changsheng had no choice but to sit down. He was about to eat when he realized the problem.

If you come here by yourself, Mrs. Wang won’t have anything to eat.

After a final push, Xu Changsheng and Wang Po shared the small bowl of rice.

Wang Hu was also quite sensible, so he shared the wild vegetables with only a few branches among the three of them.

After eating, the sky became dark. Xu Changsheng felt his stomach which was almost empty after eating, and walked to the door, just about to go out.

But looking at the darkening sky, I looked around and found no one else.

He couldn't help but remember that there was a ghost in this village, and he was still an ordinary person.

After careful consideration, Xu Changsheng chose to sit down at the door with great care.

He planned to spend tonight first and wait until dawn tomorrow before taking action.

Not long after, Wang Hu, who had helped Mrs. Wang wash the dishes, also sat next to him obediently.

Xu Changsheng looked at this well-behaved young man, thought for a moment, and asked:

"Xiaohu, do you think there is anyone in this village who is weird?"

"strangeness?"

Wang Hu tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "Oh, I know, my grandma is very strange, let me tell you..."

He said, leaned over and whispered: "I find that every night, after I fall asleep, I have to get up."

When Xu Changsheng heard this, he also became energetic.

Thinking about it this way, it was very possible that when he arrived, the ghost was right next to him, ready to give him a fatal blow at any time.

"What did she get up for?"

"She has to get up and help me sew my clothes."

Xu Changsheng: "..."

Looking at the tiger-headed boy in front of him, Xu Changsheng reached out and touched his head, sighing: "You boy, you can't sleep without your grandma in bed, right?"

"Hey, big brother, how do you know?"

"Read more and you will know."

"Okay, it's getting dark, go to bed early."

After Xu Changsheng finished speaking, he took Wang Hu back home, closed the door, and darkness completely enveloped this small village.

This earth building only has two rooms, one on the first floor and one on the second floor. The one on the first floor is where Wang Po and Wang Hu live together, and the guest room on the second floor is for Xu Changsheng.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

Xu Changsheng stepped on the wooden stairs going upstairs, making a very loud sound.

Grandma Wang couldn't afford an oil lamp at home, so she usually went to bed after dark. Only when she had to use up all the oil did she take out the sunflower pole used for making fire.

Obviously, Xu Changsheng, the overnight guest, was just going upstairs and didn't need a fire.

Xu Changsheng could only stay in the dark.

He returned to the room on hands and knees.

In the room on the second floor, there is a small and cramped window. Perhaps the sun has set and the moon is half-covered. At this moment, the window is still revealing an extremely dim light.

Xu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the bed. He touched around and found that everything was safe. Then he retracted his head back into the bed.

Ever since he changed his destiny for the first time and got the white [Bold Body], he rarely felt flustered.

At this moment, he felt panicked for the first time in a long time. He even felt... interesting?
It's hard to fall asleep just when I'm flustered.

Coupled with the almost uneaten dinner, he was so hungry that he couldn't sleep.

Once people lie in bed, unable to sleep, and have no other entertainment activities, it is easy to think about things, and Xu Changsheng is no exception.

He was thinking, what is the dispute between Monk Huadeng and Monk Wuchen about?
And why did this fight attract the attention of the five immortal sects and the Heavenly Court?
Xu Changsheng thought about it again and again, and gradually calmed down. Then he raised his hand and wrote on the wall: "People's hearts."

What the two monks were arguing about was the human heart.

And this is where the decision is made, whether it is the alienation of humans or the alienation of the Transformation Pill.

After thinking about this, Xu Changsheng went further. So what does this first level have to do with people's hearts?And from what Monk Hua Deng said, this first level is particularly important.

Then the... ghost hiding in this village.

Come on!

Xu Changsheng got excited and immediately buried his head under the quilt. At the same time, he also retracted his feet outside the quilt into the quilt.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

An extremely dull sound of stepping on the wooden stairs reached Xu Changsheng's ears.

is a ghost.

Definitely a ghost!

As an outsider, he entered his territory. Xu Changsheng hid in the bed, not daring to take a breath, listening to his own heartbeat like a drum and the sound of ghosts stepping on the stairs.

He decided that as soon as he heard the sound of the door coming in, or that there was no sound, he would jump out of bed.

I am a Qi Refiner in the Fetal Breathing Realm, how could I really be scared to death by ghosts?

The reason why he was sure that the thing going upstairs was a ghost was because the footsteps were heavy.

It was much louder than the sound he made when he, an adult man, stepped upstairs.

Wang Hu and Wang Po couldn't get along, so who could come into his house quietly and go upstairs?

The ghost must be here!

What's more, he and Cui Pei were originally selected as trial subjects. How could those two monks allow themselves to experience nothing here?
After thinking about this, Xu Changsheng became more confident.The ghost is coming.

The sound of stepping on the stairs gradually became quieter. It reached the second floor and was probably standing at my door. It even said...it had already come in and was standing next to my bed?

Xu Changsheng felt that his heart was about to jump into his throat, so he jumped too.

He hugged the quilt and jumped forward.

"Bam—"

He threw himself heavily on the ground, but the scene he expected did not appear.

There was deathly silence all around. At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from the house next door, and then there was no sound again.

Even the scream seemed like Xu Changsheng's illusion.

He lay on the wooden board and calmed down for a while, making sure that he had not waited for other changes before struggling to get up.

Cold sweat wet my back, and my sleepiness was gone.

Perhaps he had just experienced life and death, and he started to mess around again... Oh no, this is the spirit of fearlessness.

He walked to the window. Compared with when he first went to bed, the moonlight was much brighter now. He could already vaguely see the outline of the house outside through the tattered window paper.

But as soon as he stood here, he saw it.

In the house on the right front, a tall figure stepped into the house.

He blinked again, nothing.

Is this...that ghost?

Is the ghost hiding in that house?
After calming down, Xu Changsheng was a little scared and immediately got back into bed.

Xu was just frightened. After Xu Changsheng got back into bed, he fell into a drowsy sleep not long after.

……

In another secret realm, Cui Pei, who had the same experience as Xu Changsheng, chose another way to break the situation.

When he heard footsteps on the stairs, he broke through the window and climbed out from the second floor.

In the end, he still underestimated his own strength as an ordinary person. He jumped from the second floor in the dark, hit a boulder raised on the ground, and broke his right hand on the spot.

But he still didn't shout, covered his right hand, and left the house.

at the same time.

A group of immortals outside the secret realm also silently watched the scene, most of them with expressionless faces.

But Scholar Cui, who was born in Bailu Academy and had the same surname as Cui, suddenly received a message from the slovenly Taoist priest in Zhenwu Palace.

"Hey, scholar, is that little guy from Monk Hua from your academy?"

"No."

"What do you think?"

Cui Shusheng glanced at the sloppy Taoist priest and wanted to reply with his eyes, but in the end he remembered the sage's words: Be polite when you go out.

So Cui Shusheng smiled and said: "One looks like a human being, and the other is a human being."

The sloppy Taoist priest sent a message: "It's interesting. I'll harass Monk Hua and ask him where he found the person."

Xu Changsheng was woken up by a burst of noise.

When he opened his eyes, it was already bright outside. He was in a daze for a while and climbed up quickly.

A ghost came last night!
There was still noisy outside, so he thought for a moment, put on his shoes immediately, and ran to open the door with a "dong dong dong-" sound.

There was indeed a row of footprints behind the door, which were very wide, even bigger than Xu Changsheng's footprints.

Still dirty, full of mud and stains.

He stepped all the way from the first floor to the door of his room, and finally disappeared after leaving a pair of complete footprints at the door.

Is this left by ghosts?

Looking at the footprints and thinking about what happened last night, Xu Changsheng concluded that the ghost must be very tall.

After dawn, Xu Changsheng became more courageous. He walked downstairs and came to the door in a few steps.

There were many villagers surrounding the house next door.

Wang Po pulled Wang Hu and stood outside.

Seeing Xu Changsheng coming out, Wang Hu immediately broke away from Mrs. Wang's hand and came to Xu Changsheng's side.

The latter picked up the young man.

"what happened?"

"Brother, Aunt Liu next door is dead. She was killed by a ghost and her head was chopped off with one knife!"

Wang Hu exclaimed softly.

"what?"

"But my grandma won't let me go and see it. Why don't you take me to see it?"

Xu Changsheng shook his head.

"Children can't watch."

Xu Changsheng put down the young man and wanted to squeeze to the front to see what was going on.

But as soon as he put Wang Hu down, he saw the house on the right front that he had discovered last night.

He asked: "Xiaohu, who is that family?"

"Well, that's Uncle Zhang's butcher's house."

Xu Changsheng silently wrote it down before squeezing in from the edge of the crowd.

The door of the house was wide open, and no one was cleaning it. Blood was splattered everywhere, and the smell of blood rushed straight to his forehead.

Xu Changsheng took a few more steps forward and finally saw the true contents of the room. A woman had been decapitated with a knife, her head rolled to the side, the wound on her neck was extremely smooth, and flesh and blood could still be seen vaguely.

Xu Changsheng retched.

"Hey, what is your foreign scholar doing? Why don't you stay away!"

Xu Changsheng turned around.

The speaker was a tall butcher with a beard and a dirty apron, and he was glaring as he spoke.

Xu Changsheng subconsciously looked at his feet.
