After saying goodbye to Grandpa Lin, Master and I rushed all the way to the direction of Yunju Mountain, according to Grandpa Lin's guidance, Pingyang Town was north of Yunju Mountain, which was also the place we were going on this trip. As for whether there are rumors about what Mr. Qingyi said, it is still unknown, but the large number of ghosts that have come out of Pingyang Town, and what kind of demons have appeared in Pingyang Town, are the truths that Master and I are eager to know!

Starting from Jilong Mountain in the morning, and near the end of the evening, Master and I came to the foot of Yunju Mountain, and looked up at the rolling hills and the towering ancient trees on them, which could not help but make people feel refreshed. It is indeed a place with unique scenery, but Master and I did not stop at Yunju Mountain, and went all the way to the north, according to Grandpa Lin's introduction, if Pingyang Town is still there, we will definitely be able to find that town after dark.

But when we came to the north of Yunju Mountain, we saw several big towns, but the results of the question just now in Jiagou Town were not very satisfying, because almost no one in the town knew that there was a place called Pingyang Town nearby.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, I retreated a little, and asked the master with a tired face, "Master, is there really no Pingyang Town?" ”

"Alas, being a teacher is also helpless now." The master sighed lightly, glanced around, and then said, "There is a town ahead, let's go over and ask, if we still can't ask for a result, we will settle in the town in front tonight, and then we will inquire around tomorrow." "Even the master has no clue, and I am even more hesitant and helpless.

But at the moment, there seems to be no other way to do it. After a short time, Master and I walked into the town in front of us, and when we found a small noodle shop with the door open, I hurriedly said, "Master, why don't we go and eat a bowl of noodles first?" In order to find that Pingyang Town, we haven't eaten dinner since we came to this Yunju Mountain for half a day, and my stomach is drumming! ”

Master glanced at the small noodle restaurant not far away, and nodded slightly: "It's okay, by the way, ask the shopkeeper, maybe you can ask some clues." ”

The owner of the small noodle restaurant, a fat old man in his fifties, saw Master and I come in, and greeted him with a smile: "You two are from afar, right?" Hehe, it's really time for you to come, it's so late, I'm about to close the door and go to bed, please sit down, I'll go and order two bowls of noodles for you. So saying, the fat old man pulled up the bench for us, and turned and went into the kitchen.

Half an hour later, the shopkeeper came out with two large bowls of noodles enthusiastically, and I hurriedly took a big bite of the noodles, but the master did not eat immediately, but opened his mouth to ask the fat old man: "This old brother, I want to ask you something, I don't know if there is a place called Pingyang Town nearby?" Our trip is to find this town, but the people in the previous Jiagou Town don't seem to have heard of this Pingyang Town. At the moment we don't know where to go to inquire, alas! ”

When the fat old man heard this, he immediately said politely: "Sir, you're welcome, it turns out that you are going to Pingyang Town, no wonder, it's not strange that the people in the town in front don't know, because Jiagou Town is also a small town that only emerged a few years ago, and most of the people in the town are from the south of Yunju Mountain, so they don't know too much about the things in the north." In fact, no one in our town will know about it. ”

"Oh?" The master frowned and hurriedly asked, "Why is this?" ”

The fat old man casually pulled a bench, sat down opposite the master, and continued: "Because that Pingyang Town, during the Anti-Japanese War, was gone. If you are a person who came from the Republic of China period, you may still remember that there was a Pingyang Town in this area, which is about ten years ago, and the people of Pingyang Town fled in all directions, and they were almost gone. By the way, Pingyang Town was originally in the area of Longtouling, and you can see Longtouling if you walk five or six miles to the north, as for whether there is anyone in the town now, I don't know very well. ”

"Not more than a decade ago?" I couldn't help but put down the bowl and casually asked Master, "Master, in this way, all those ghosts we met before were people who died more than ten years ago?" But this difference is too long, right?! As soon as my words came out, the fat old man suddenly couldn't sit still in shock, and hurriedly looked at me, and then at the master, as if he mentioned the word "ghost", which made him very uncomfortable.

Master immediately glared at me and said, "Eat your noodles!" Don't mind, brother, our master and apprentice are foot walkers, and they often deal with ghosts and gods, so the little apprentice is open-mouthed, you don't have to be afraid. ”

After being reprimanded by the master, I pouted and had to bury my head and continue to eat noodles. But the fat old man on the side slowly stood up and nodded again and again: "Oh...... Then, then you eat first, I'll go to the kitchen and clean up. As he spoke, the fat old man turned around and went into the kitchen with a jealous expression, and at this moment, the master suddenly turned his head to look at me, and he looked at me uncomfortably, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at the master again.

After eating, I couldn't help but defend: "Master, don't always target me, your old man, how did I know that when I say a ghost word, I will scare that fat old man into peeing his pants!" Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of ghosts, I'm just saying it, and it's not that it's haunted, really. But as soon as I raised my head, I saw that Master glared at me again.

After the master finished eating, he said, "Are you still quibbling? What fat old man, fat old man? It's not polite to speak! Also, you usually don't feel afraid, but where do ordinary people often see ghosts? When you meet people in the future, don't always mention those things to scare people, and say that people, weren't you so scared that you almost peed your pants? I'm not afraid that I will be alive in a few days, but now it's good, the shopkeeper doesn't dare to come out, how can we ask?! ”

Belch...... Being reprimanded by the master made me gasp, but thinking about it, at first I saw the ghost for the first time, and it was the same as this fat old man, with a secretive expression, and now although I am not afraid, these ordinary people are not necessarily afraid. But the fat old man's guts are too small, and I just mention it, and I am scared like that, so it is really strange that he can still open the shop until late at night.

Master asked me to put the money on the table, and said respectfully to the kitchen, "Brother, the money for the meal has been placed here, thank you for your guidance just now, we are leaving." After speaking, Master took me out of the small noodle shop, and soon, I saw that the door of the small noodle shop was closed by the fat old man, I was stunned, are you so afraid?

Leaving here, Master took me directly to the north, and I dared not to rest until Longtouling. But I couldn't stay idle on the road, so I casually quipped: "Master, did you say that fat old man has also seen ghosts?" Just mentioning it, I'm scared like that, maybe his shop will be haunted! As soon as I finished speaking, I found that Master glared at me again and hurriedly shut up.

"Just your crow's mouth, don't talk nonsense!" The master said angrily: "Also, when you meet people in the future, you must know how to be polite, and you will always be taught by the teacher, have you forgotten?!" ”

I scratched the back of my head and diverted the topic: "Master, you haven't answered me yet, the ghosts on the other side of Jilong Mountain, if they all ran from Pingyang Town, the span of this world is too big, right?" Why did the ghost who died more than ten years ago only run to the side of Jilong Mountain now? To say that they have been in Pingyang Town for more than ten years, and they only ran away recently, it doesn't make sense, because the fat old man said that Pingyang Town didn't exist more than ten years ago. And the fire ghost sister-in-law Zhou I saw, according to her memories before her death, there must have been people living in Pingyang Town at that time, and according to this calculation, it is not suitable again! ”

"How is it not appropriate?" The master asked rhetorically: "Even if Pingyang Town really doesn't exist, but don't forget, there is a difference between the Yang Mansion and the Yin House, even if the Yang Mansion is destroyed, the Yin Mansion still exists, and the memories of those ghosts are all fragments of their lives, and it is reasonable to say how many years they have been in Pingyang Town, even if Pingyang Town is no longer a town, as long as the memory of the dead stays before Pingyang Town was destroyed, then their Yin Mansion is still the original appearance, and the Yin Mansion is the obsession of the ghost to manifest itself, the obsession is not extinguished, and those things that are transformed, Nature can be preserved forever. This has nothing to do with the span of time. ”

I thought about it again, and felt that what Master said did have some truth, whether Pingyang Town existed or not, and it would not affect the Yin Mansion of those who died. As long as the dead people died before Pingyang Town was destroyed, then the ghost mansions I saw were all the original appearance, and they were trapped in their own obsessions, although the time in the underworld was countless times longer than that in the yang, but for those ghosts, it was as if they had just died, and time would always stay in their hearts more than ten years ago.

"Master, in that case, it should have been more than ten years since the fire ghost in the ancient well provoked the fire robbery!" I said in a daze: "If that's the case, it means that there were demons in Pingyang Town more than ten years ago, is this the reason why Pingyang Town disappeared?" ”

"Fart!"

Unexpectedly, the master scolded me directly, and then said: "Those ghosts all ran away to other places within three months, which can only show that nothing happened to them in the past ten years, and it was only in these three months that demons appeared. Why can't you forget that time span? Now, whether there is Pingyang Town or not, we must find it and get rid of that demon! ”

It was only after Master said this that I sorted out the logical relationship between the front and back, and the time span in front of me, as well as the escape of those ghosts from Pingyang Town, were all confused by me.
