Chapter 171 Triggered Taboo
On the dim stone road, a lantern was slightly lit nearby, which was strange and unknown. The young man in Tang suit stared at a lantern that glowed red in the ruins and swallowed:< br>
“This is not hanging on the wooden house. There should be no problem. The old man just told me not to touch the lantern hanging on the wooden house. He didn’t say he couldn’t touch the ground.”
The young man’s eyes flashed, and he was slightly excited. He stared at the flashing red lantern and murmured to himself:
“ If you were to sell this red lantern, it would cost you at least twenty yuan, dear, more than twenty yuan, enough to buy four jars of resurrecting wine from Mr. Du."
When the young man thought of Mr. Du's Resurrection Wine, he couldn't help but lick his lips, his eyes full of memories:
"Resurrection Wine, this is a good thing. Not only does it taste great, it can also suppress evil spirits. Resurrection, even the old man is very greedy..."
"No, just for the sake of the Resurrection Wine, I have to do it today. Sell this red lantern, otherwise you won't be sorry for my hard work."
Thinking of this, the young man in Tang suit's eyes were fixed, and without hesitation, he held the umbrella with one hand and reached for it with the other. The red lanterns lying on the ruins seemed to be due to the resurrecting wine. He forgot the old man's instructions not to touch those lanterns for fear of death.
However, if you look carefully at the young man's outstretched hand, you will find that the young man's hand is covered with black thread, and a long blood-red needle is looming on the young man's fingertips.
Obviously, he was not a fool and was well prepared. He slowly stretched out his hand. Just when the young man's hand was still halfway away from the red lantern, the young man stopped and his pupils tightened.
"MD, what the old man said is right. If you want to live, you can't pay attention to these lanterns!"
Feeling the coldness that hit his face, the young man shuddered and said nothing. After saying that, he took his hand back, turned around and ran towards the sinkhole.
"This sense of crisis must be too cool to do anything!"
The young man was extremely fast. In less than a few breaths, he had already run out hundreds of times. rice.
As the young man left, the surroundings returned to silence, but at this moment, a red lantern that had been buried in the ruins of the wooden house floated up silently. Under the red handle, there was a glowing red lantern. The lantern swayed slightly.
It was as if someone was holding a lantern, and as the lantern floated up, it seemed as if some switch was triggered. All the lanterns that were pressed in the ruins of the wooden house were all the same as that red lantern. Floatingly flew up from the ruins.
Not only the lanterns in the ruins of the wooden house, but also the lanterns still hanging on the wooden house automatically floated away from the wooden house and swayed in the air, strange and eerie.
The lanterns were flying in the air, all flying in the direction of the young man in Tang suit. Their speed was no less than that of the young man.
For a moment, behind the young man in Tang suit, three kinds of lights flashed in the darkness and flew towards the young man. As for why they were three colors, not four, well, it was because the black lantern was too dark. It's impossible to see in the dark.
The young man in Tang suit ran quickly, feeling the coldness behind him. The young man subconsciously glanced back. However, just this glance made the young man's scalp numb, his face trembling, and his heart kept thinking:
"Damn it! No way! I obviously didn't do anything, why are you chasing me!"
There were so many lanterns behind, the young man couldn't figure it out. It was obvious that he was holding a black umbrella, and it was obvious that he had done nothing, so why would he experience this kind of thing:
“What are you doing? What did I do wrong? Who can tell me! "
The young man screamed desperately in his heart, but at this moment, when he turned around and saw the scene, his face changed drastically, he cursed in his mouth, and his speed suddenly increased a lot:
"It's over, it's over, even the ghosts in the wooden houses have escaped. This is a rhythm that is determined to kill them all."
I saw only those wooden houses that have not been demolished, and a lantern hanging on the wooden house. As they chased the young man, the wooden door of the wooden house that was originally closed opened with a bang, and individual figures walked out of the wooden house one by one.
Except for those wooden houses with green lanterns that were silent, all the other wooden houses were opened, and the "people" who came out of them were men and women, old and young, and there were even people walking in some wooden houses. Some little animals came out.
For example, after all, cats and dogs are common animals. Without exception, they all have one characteristic, that is, their eyes are empty and their faces are expressionless, and they all stare directly at the young man who is running for his life. .
Then, all these things walked onto the stone road and walked towards the young man. Some walked, but some ran, such as the cats, dogs and children.
The young man was feeling desperate at the moment, and his eyes were full of confusion. As he ran, he looked at the oil-paper umbrella above his head, wondering if the umbrella was broken.
Turning his head and looking behind him, the young man’s eyes trembled, and his long legs, which were more than one meter long, flew up while running, shouting:
“Brother! I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it next time, stop chasing me!”
The young man’s voice was loud. He began to tremble, and kept regretting in his heart:
"If I had known that this would be the case, I wouldn't have said anything stupid. If I had known that, I should have listened to grandpa and not touched those lanterns. Why am I so mean! Why do I extend that hand?”
"It's fine now. I didn't get the lantern, and I was chased by a group of uncles. This is really cheating!"
The young man regretted it. It's a pity that he didn't regret buying the medicine in time, otherwise he would have been the first to buy ten A few packs, just in case.
Actually, he knew what was going on when the lantern floated up and chased him. Now that he thought about it, he was confused by the demolished wooden houses.
He thought that since those wooden houses were like this, there would be no danger, but he was wrong. He now understands that although the wooden houses have been demolished, the taboos that should be observed still exist. These taboos are not It will disappear when the wooden house is demolished.
It’s a pity that knowing this is useless now, he triggered the taboo and stayed in front of the wooden house with red lanterns for more than ten seconds, so the horror came.
"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences." This is the truest thought in the young man's heart.
On another stone road, four people wearing raincoats looked up at the scene on the left in a dull manner, with some disbelief in their eyes:
"What's going on?"
A woman muttered to herself in confusion, but at this moment, the shadowy young man in the lead holding an oil lamp shrank his pupils and shouted at the other three:
"Run!"
The shadowy young man's voice was trembling, and he ran towards the center of the town with his oil lamp in hand.
Hearing the shouts of the Yin Ying young man, the other three were a little confused and did not react for a while. But when they saw the scene behind them clearly, their expressions all changed, and they started without saying a word Running wildly, with such momentum, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is as strong as sucking milk.
Several people rushed forward, fearing that if they ran too slowly, they would die. Behind them, lanterns also flew up in dense numbers, and a person also walked out of the wooden house. The shadow was like a chain reaction caused by the young man in Tang suit.
At this time, the four Yin Ying young people were desperate. They didn't know what happened, but this situation happened inexplicably.
“MD, don’t let me know who did it, I will kill it if I find out!”
This is the only thought in the Yin Ying young man's mind now. He doesn't believe it was done by them. If they had done it, this situation would have happened earlier, and they wouldn't have waited until now.
And they obviously didn't do anything, and since he was still holding an oil lamp, the devil wouldn't notice them at all.
So he was very sure that there must be some goddamn idiot who triggered the taboo here, otherwise this situation would not have happened. (End of this chapter)
