He Shu stared at the man in front of him, unable to tell whether he was joking or talking seriously.

If it's a joke, for someone who just met, a brother with a violent personality is enough to punch him up.

But the lunch boxes and pendant powder on the ground all reminded him that all this was unusual.

"You are, what do you mean?" He Shu's voice was a little dry.

The man didn't answer any more, but just took a deep look at him, stretched out his hand and pushed He Shu away, and then closed the door.

He Shu quickly went to block it, and wanted to ask again, but found that the door seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he couldn't block it. He slammed the door and slammed it shut, and he ate his nose.

There was a weird gurgling sound faintly coming from behind the door, very similar to what he heard in the parking lot just now.

After the croak croak, there was actually a series of murmurs from rough people.

"Don't let him go, let him buy me food, I can consider saving his life!"

Such nonsensical words.

He Shu stood at the door for a long time, listening to the noise at the door from chattering to being suppressed by force, and could only turn around and go back to the house.

Before leaving, he bent down to pick up the plastic bags and lunch boxes that fell on the ground, and found that the bags and boxes were as dirty and dilapidated as old garbage that had just been dug out of the trash can, but just now he picked up the plastic bags and lunch boxes from the delivery staff. When I took it, I didn't notice anything unusual.

Could it be that he was blinded by a ghost just now?

Even though He Shu was heartless, he also felt a chill running down his spine.

The house was bought by He Shu two years ago. It has two bedrooms and one living room. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

After graduating, he started a business here with his classmates and made a small profit. He bought this house before the local housing prices rose sharply at that time. Later, He Shu encountered an accident and fell seriously ill. He left after recovering from the illness. In the original industry, he worked as a salted fish for a while, but finally he was cheered up by the mortgage. He simply bought a second-hand car with the remaining savings and became an online car-hailing driver.

In this business, it is almost impossible to get rich and rich. If you want to support the whole family, you have to do your best, but He Shu's family doesn't need him to support him. There is nothing else to ask for.

He Shu usually likes to stay at home when he has nothing to do, playing games and reading books, but today he closed the door and looked around. His eyes were not familiar with the safe environment, and his mind was still the scene of the camera shaking in the suburbs.

Later, he didn't know how he was in a daze, why he just found something from the refrigerator to fill his stomach, went to bed without washing, and fell asleep in a daze without even turning on the air conditioner even though it was hot.

In the haze, he felt that his body became lighter, and there seemed to be a thread binding him to float forward. He Shu didn't seem to open his eyes, but he could clearly "feel" the darkness and coldness around him, the mist, and the faint light in the distance. Far and near, red and swaying, it turned out to be two long strings of lanterns on the left and right, like swimming dragons, flowing in the wind, and some people beat gongs and drums and played suona, which elongated their accents, and they couldn't tell which dialect it was, it was weird and gloomy However, He Shu's body couldn't lift the slightest bit of strength, and he was limp, until the two lanterns came close, and suddenly someone screamed——

"Bride, please get on the sedan chair!"

He Shu couldn't help himself, but he felt a huge force suddenly pulling him forward, and he was stuffed into the small black sedan chair, which was cramped and cramped, and he was covered with silk ribbons messily on his body, covering his head and face. A thick and almost insoluble aroma blocked his nose and almost suffocated him. Even so, his body couldn't produce the slightest strength to resist, and his subconscious mind was obediently restrained, but his heart was clearly weird and It was indescribable, and I couldn't think of what I had forgotten even after racking my brains.

"Goo-croak!"

There was a sound that sounded like a bird but not a bird, directly like a lion's roar, shaking the chaotic mind, He Shu shook his body directly, gave a jolt, and finally became more awake.

"Your death is approaching, hee hee!"

The strange bird that inexplicably appeared in the parking lot earlier jumped on his knees and talked like the man before him.

The gongs and drums outside were noisy, but they didn't even hear it, and continued to move forward.

Inside and outside, there is a distinct and strange excitement and silence.

Perhaps in the dream, He Shu had very little fear, and was extremely calm in the haze.

He looked at the strange bird on his knee: "You pulled me in?"

The strange bird disdains: "I will play such low-level tricks? This is your own trouble, I just follow up to watch the fun!"

He Shu frowned and recalled.

The origin of all this weirdness started with the female passenger.

In previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival was very quiet. He didn't expect an accident this year. He didn't even think of this special day.

"Am I dreaming?"

This sentence echoed in his heart, but he didn't ask it out, but the strange bird heard it.

"Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, you should have heard it. It's not like a dream. If you can't leave here, you will be left forever."

He Shu asked, "What about you?"

The strange bird snorted: "I told you just now that I don't belong here, and I won't be trapped."

The voice fell, the sedan chair swayed, and the bottom creaked. He Shu peeped out through the swaying gap of the sedan curtain. The team seemed to be crossing a bridge. , or an abyss.

The bridge is completely white, like jade but not jade, but it is light and fluttering. It swayed violently when cars and horses passed by in front of it, as if it was unbearable. When He Shu's sedan chair also got on the bridge, he found out what kind of jade the bridge was. It was clearly a piece of paper. bridge!

In the distance, several figures floated over.

It was indeed floating. Their feet did not touch the ground, and they walked slowly. The two people in front were holding a rope in each of their hands, and they were wrapped around the waist of the person behind at the same time. The rope swayed and collided as they walked, and it was actually two iron chains.

The three of them walked by and passed by by mistake. The motorcade seemed to be unable to see them.

He Shu was in the sedan chair and clearly heard the conversation between the two in front.

"Is it catching a stand-in again?"

"Looking at it, I don't know where to find the unlucky ghost."

"The above is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are new souls here every year."

"I haven't returned to the sun for a long time, but I really forgot."

The two talked as they walked, and one of them glanced at the sedan chair He Shu.

His eyes were facing each other, and He Shu only felt that the man's eyes were dull and dull, like a layer of old fog, but the other side snorted and stood slightly.

"What?" asked the companion next to him.

"It's a pity, this person was born with a yin and god physique. He probably wanted to catch this once and for all."

"Let's go, let's go, don't meddle in your own business, you will become crazy for a while, we can't stop it together, there is no need to stand out!"

When He Shu wanted to prick up his ears again, the two of them had already quickened their pace and drifted further apart.

He looked back at the strange bird: "This is the underworld, Naihe Bridge?"

"The junction of life and death between yin and yang belongs to chaos, and it is not the underworld of the human world. It doesn't care about the three, and no idlers can enter. That is to say, the yang world can't control it, and the nether world can't control it!"

The strange bird was jumping up and down on his lap, a little gloating.

"You are also considered unlucky. You are targeted by the demon, and the average person bumps into it. There is only one dead end."

He Shu: "What is a demon?"

The strange bird is impatient: "The so-called primates have seven emotions and six desires, and they can't ask for resentment. People have no hatred for themselves. After death, the resentment will not disappear. After a long period of time, they will condense and become one. They are called demons!"

He Shu reached out to touch the splendidly colored feathers, but he could actually touch them. The soft touch didn't look like he was in a dream.

The strange bird wanted to jump away, but the fluff on his chin and cheeks was scratched by the other party. He seemed to feel very comfortable. His body honestly betrayed his will.

"The two people just now, are they evil?"

"It doesn't matter, there are naturalized and unnatural ones. The errands for arresting are heavy, and those errands can't be busy all the year round. How can it be possible to come forward in person in everything, and always get some people to help? That's the case with those two people, they Your ability is similar to that of ordinary people, how can you provoke a demon?"

He Shu continued to scratch its chin: "But you must be stronger than them, you can come and go freely, and you can take me away."

"Of course!" After the strange bird finished proudly, he reacted and said angrily, "Are you kidding me?!"

He Shu thought that it took you a long time to react. It's really not easy.

"You found me in the parking lot several times, do you want to touch porcelain and let me take you in?"

The strange bird jumped like thunder: "What is Pengci! It is a blessing that you have cultivated in eight lifetimes to meet me, otherwise you would have been cold by now, and I was the one who saved you in the woods in the suburbs before!"

He Shuruo realized something: "No wonder I seemed to hear birds chirping before I fell into a coma."

Strange Bird: "I am Phoenix, Phoenix understand?"

In terms of its shape and feathers, it is more like a parrot than a phoenix, especially an animal called a macaw.

He Shu is kind and generous: "Okay, Fengfeng, since you have been following me and you can enter here freely, you must also help me leave together?"

The strange bird shook its wings and had no objection to this temporary title.

"I have a question, let me ask you first."

He Shu sat upright, thinking that he was going to ask himself the process of provoking the demon.

Who knows that the other party twisted, but suddenly asked: "What did you eat the night before?"

He Shu: ? ? ?

Strange Bird: "Can't tell?"

He Shu: "No no, let me think about it... It seems to be, goulash with potatoes, what's wrong?"

Strange Bird: "It smells good."

He Shu: "Can birds not eat roast beef with potatoes?"

Weird Bird: "I said I'm a phoenix, ask me to say it several times! I smelled the aroma of that beef, and I could feel how tender it was, not tough at all, and the sweetness of potatoes and tomatoes had been completely soaked into it. In meat, I haven't eaten this dish for many, many years!"

At the end, it closed its eyes, as if intoxicated.

He Shu was speechless for a moment: "There is no secret recipe, just simmer for a longer time and put some rock sugar to make the beef more tender. If you want to eat it, I will cook it for you when you go out."

The strange bird immediately opened his eyes and stared at him: "You can't go back on what you said."

He Shu: "Isn't it just roast beef with potatoes? I can make it for you every day."

The strange bird was so happy that it finally stopped jumping on his knees, and even flapped its wings and flew around in the narrow sedan chair.

"You pluck one of my feathers, not more, only one."

He Shu stretched out his hand and pulled out a light green feather from the bird's wing in the dim light coming in from the outside, making the strange bird tremble with pain.

"And then, what needs to be done?"

"Hold it in your hand and don't let go. After a while, you will get off the sedan chair, and they will take you to pray to heaven and earth. The demon will definitely show up. Just pat the feather on its forehead."

It sounds simple, but He Shu remembered it.

The strange bird tilted its head to look at him, and muttered: "Has no one taught you your physique since you were a child? If you haven't seen a pig, you should have eaten pork."

The corners of He Shu's mouth twitched downwards, and he pulled out a wry smile.

He stretched out his fingers to scratch the strange bird's chin, and said softly, "I'll make you potato goulash when I get out."

The strange bird was satisfied with this answer.

I don't know how long this road has been going, the convoy finally stopped, and the noisy gongs and drums stopped for a while.

"The bride gets off the sedan chair—"

The shrill voice dragged a long tune, breaking the almost eerie silence.

The car curtain is automatic without wind, one left and one right two hands stretched in from the outside, pulling He Shu up!

The latter had almost no power to resist, and could only let the other party pull him forward. The red lanterns on both sides became the only light source in the mist, but this kind of light source could not illuminate the surroundings at all. The outlines are vague, and even the two "people" who are dragging them away can't tell the difference between men and women. They can only vaguely identify the old clothes on their bodies, which have been handed down from which generation. They have long been yellowed and damaged, but Time freezes in this realm of chaos.

The group of people seemed to have entered the woods, and there was a faint sign in front of them. He Shu felt a little familiar, and when he looked closely, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat!

The words on the sign can be seen, it clearly says Peach Blossom Flowing Water Villa.

And the surrounding scenery, isn't it the destination of his last order tonight? !

A cold breath sprayed from the back of the neck, coiling up like a poisonous snake, sticking to the ear, whispering.

"Aren't you very enthusiastic? If you want to help him, you might as well stay and stay with me."

He Shu's goosebumps fell all over the ground, he didn't even know where the voice came from, and where the demon was. At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind, to get out of the predicament, to escape from the sky, he opened his palm regardless , revealing sweaty and sticky feathers and slapping towards the source of the sound!

boom!

There seemed to be a thunderous explosion in the ears, and the surroundings were suddenly silent, and even the breath of the sound disappeared.

But before He Shun breathed a sigh of relief, the voice sounded again, with sarcasm and sarcasm.

"That's all you can do?"

He Shu's heart sank.

"run!!!"

At the same time, the strange bird also yelled.

He Shu ran away without even thinking about it!

"Keep running forward, don't look back!" The strange bird fluttered its wings above his head.

But He Shu felt like stepping into a swamp under his feet, and every step was difficult, even slower and slower.

And the chasing movement behind him is getting closer and closer.

"Run faster, faster!" The strange bird was still urging.

But He Shu was really unable to run, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he had to exert all his will to lift a step.

This strange bird was full of pride and unfathomable just now, but now it only flaps its wings and croaks on the top of its head, unable to do anything to the demon behind it.

The yin qi behind him was getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that He Shu felt as if he had more people on his back, and he was so overwhelmed that he could not breathe.

If it goes on like this, there is only one dead end!

"Goooooooooooooooooo!"

The strange bird is pretending to croak with its throat!

As soon as the rooster sings, all the demons and ghosts have to retreat. Therefore, in ancient times, the rooster was often caught and killed, the head of the rooster was slaughtered, and the rooster was used to ward off evil spirits.

The yin qi was indeed suddenly stagnant, like being frightened by a strange bird, but before it could take credit for it, the yin qi swept in violently and furiously, like an enraged beast pounced on him, but he had been coveted for a long time.Repeatedly interrupted prey!
