Xingnian Tea House

Chapter 61 Look behind you

"Brother Lin, have you encountered any strange things?"

"Strange thing?" Jiang Mohan and Lin Nanyue looked at each other and said, "What strange thing? We've been sitting here for almost an hour, and we haven't seen a single person. Is this a strange thing?"

Li Xiaoshuai answered: "It shouldn't be, there were a lot of tourists when we went up the mountain, how could it be possible that we didn't see anyone for an hour, did they all go in..."

Just when he was about to talk about the cave, Li Xiaoshuai suddenly remembered Qiao Xingnian's advice, changed his voice, and said, "Could they all get lost like us?"

When Jiang Mohan heard it, he couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "This is a scenic spot, not a maze. As long as you don't run around and keep going along this road, you won't even get lost."

Lin Nanyue looked at Qiao Xingnian and asked silently, "Why do you ask that?"

Qiao Xingnian didn't answer, and said: "I haven't seen a single person for an hour, it's really strange, and just now Xiaoshuai and Jianing told me that at least five or six people who disappeared on this mountain in the past few days, we still Be careful."

"Missing?" Lin Nanyue frowned and said, "What's going on, who told you this?"

Facing other matters, Lin Nanyue was always silent, but when he talked about things related to the case, he would always talk more immediately.

"A post they saw on the Internet was posted by a girl, saying that her companion was missing in this mountain, and that the companion who went back also died and killed someone. She is also in the hospital now. There are comments below Said that his companion also disappeared in the mountains, and more than one person said so."

Jiang Mohan frowned and said, "Why do your words sound familiar to me?"

"I suspect that it was Xiao Lan who posted the news."

Qiao Xingnian once told the two of them that Xiao Lan and Liu Kai had companions, and there were four of them when they checked in.

But when he came back, there were only two of them, and he contacted Jiang Mohan and Lin Nanyue about his suspicions when he saw Xiao Lan again.

Suddenly, Jiang Mohan said, "So her companion disappeared in this mountain?"

Seeing Qiao Xingnian nodding, Lin Nanyue said strangely: "Since so many people have disappeared, why didn't the local police station act?"

Qiao Xingnian shook his head and said, "It is said that they called the police, but they didn't say anything about it. Netizens speculated that the police probably didn't call the police, maybe it wasn't time to file a case."

"This regulation is not rigid. It depends on the situation at the time, not to mention that so many people have already reported the crime." Lin Nanyue frowned.

"I don't know, maybe the police have already been dispatched, but we don't know. After all, it's news on the Internet, and it may not be true. But anyway, we should be careful."

Lin Nanyue took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and said, "There is no signal in this mountain, even if someone wants to ask for help, they can't make a call at all."

"It is said that this situation should not happen in the scenic area."

"This is not considered a scenic spot. Even the tickets are not sold, so naturally there is no one to manage it."

"We now have two options. One is to continue climbing, and the other is to return to the original road. What's your opinion?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Li Xiaoshuai said out loud, "Brother Qiao, why don't we go back, this place feels quite infiltrating."

The two experienced what happened just now, and they knew in their hearts that there were dirty things on this mountain.

Xu Jianing also followed Ying He and said: "I also suggest going back. The news on the Internet seems to be quite real. There must be something wrong with this mountain, and there is no signal here. If there is any danger, we will even call the police. I can't report it."

Lin Nanyue looked at the two of them, and then at Qiao Xingnian, guessing that something must have happened to them, otherwise, with the curiosity-seeking mentality of young people nowadays, they wouldn't shrink back so easily.

"I also think that I should go down the mountain to understand the situation first."

Jiang Mohan looked at the three of them, and said with a smile: "Well, there are five people in total, and three of them said they were going down the mountain. What else can we say?"

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go down the mountain now and try to reach Big Brother Zheng's villa before dark."

Seeing that Qiao Xingnian had made a decision, Jiang Mohan said helplessly: "It's been a long way to climb halfway, and it's really bad luck to encounter this kind of thing."

"Brother, there will be opportunities to climb mountains in the future, nothing is more important than our safety."

How could Jiang Mohan not understand what Qiao Xingnian said, he was just complaining.

"Okay, okay, let's go down the mountain quickly, after resting for so long, I feel more and more tired the more I rest."

The five of them carried their backpacks and walked down the mountain road. After walking for more than half an hour, there was still no one in sight. This made Jiang Mohan who knew nothing about it gradually suspicious.

"This is too strange, why do I feel that there are only five of us on this mountain?"

Qiao Xingnian naturally sensed that something was wrong, and told them: "It's very strange here, everyone take your amulets and don't lose them."

Jiang Mohan subconsciously touched his bracelet, then looked at Qiao Xingnian, and said, "Xiao Nian, what do you mean by that?"

Now that they couldn't hide their encounter with evil spirits, Qiao Xingnian simply told what they had encountered before.

Seeing Qiao Xingnian open his mouth, Li Xiaoshuai quickly answered, "At that time, Jia Ning fell into a daze and walked into the cave involuntarily. Fortunately, Brother Qiao took action in time, and Jianing was fine. Brother Qiao gave us a Zhang talisman, let's close our eyes.

Although we couldn't see it, we heard the monster's cry, which was very terrifying!When Brother Joe asked us to open our eyes, the cave disappeared. "

Jiang Mohan looked at the three of them and said, "You guys are working together to make fun of me, right?"

Li Xiaoshuai took out a charm from his pocket, and said, "Doctor Jiang, we are not joking, look at this spell, Brother Qiao gave it to us."

Jiang Mohan took it over and looked at it, then looked at Qiao Xingnian, and said, "Xiao Nian, did you buy this in the temple too?"

Qiao Xingnian smiled helplessly and said, "Brother, this is a Taoist talisman, you can't buy it in temples."

"Then where did this come from, did you buy it from a Taoist temple?"

Qiao Xingnian knows what Jiang Mohan thinks, and the inherent three views support him. Unless he breaks and remodels, he will not face it.

"I drew it. I didn't buy the bracelet I gave you. I made it myself."

Jiang Mohan was stunned for a while when he heard the words, and then said after a while, "So when did you become a Taoist priest?"

Qiao Xingnian was amused by Jiang Mohan's strange brain circuit, and said, "Brother, only Taoist priests can draw Taoist talismans. I'm an ordinary person, and I never thought of becoming a monk."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Mohan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "Then why do you do this? Do you also believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

"Brother, now is not the time to talk about this. I'll explain it to you when I get down the mountain."

Jiang Mohan seemed to have thought of something, turned around to look at Lin Nanyue, saw that he was not surprised at all, couldn't help being startled, and then said: "So Team Lin also believes that there are ghosts in this world?"

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "I've seen it, and more than once."

Jiang Mohan stared at everyone blankly, cracks had already appeared in his worldview.

Qiao Xingnian recited the mantra silently, took out a pen and paper from the space, and said, "Team Lin, please."

Lin Nanyue nodded, came to Qiao Xingnian, and bowed down.

Qiao Xingnian kept drawing on the paper with a pen, and put the pen and paper into the space after drawing, then folded the drawn spell into the shape of a thousand paper cranes, then recited the spell silently, pinched his fingers to execute, and the pen in his hand The Thousand Paper Crane shook its wings suddenly, a faint light radiated from its body, and then flew up.

Lin Nanyue has seen it more than once, so the expression on his face is very calm.

The other three people couldn't calm down. The paper and pen Qiao Xingnian used just now appeared out of thin air and then disappeared out of thin air. The thousand paper cranes made of this paper fluttered and flew. Really blinded.

Li Xiaoshuai and Xu Jianing's eyes lit up instantly, and they asked excitedly, "Brother Qiao, is this a spell?"

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said: "This place is controlled by evil spirits, which created illusions and confuse our eyes. We can't get out if we walk like this, so we have to use it to guide us. Let's go, as long as we follow it, we can get out phantom."

Everyone followed Qianzhihe and walked straight forward. After walking for about 20 minutes, the environment in front of them suddenly changed, and they found that they were still halfway up the mountain.

"It seems that the evil spirit is trying to lead us to the top of the mountain. Just now we have been walking up the mountain, but we did not go down the mountain as we knew it. Now that the illusion is broken, let's go down the mountain quickly."

Everyone followed Qiao Xingnian in silence and walked straight forward, but they heard a rustling sound not far away.Qiao Xingnian couldn't hear, so he didn't notice.

Lin Nanyue grabbed Qiao Xingnian and said, "There are movements around here."

Qiao Xingnian looked around vigilantly, and suddenly a black figure appeared from the grass beside him. When everyone looked closely, it turned out to be a little girl who looked about five or six years old.

The little girl was a little dirty, and her little face was also stained with dirt. She looked up at everyone and said, "Brother, have you seen my parents?"

Just when everyone was about to speak, Qiao Xingnian said loudly, "Don't answer!"

The others were taken aback and shut their mouths consciously.

The little girl seemed to be frightened, her small body shrank back, and her big eyes were filled with water vapor.

Seeing this, Jiang Mohan frowned slightly, walked up to Qiao Xingnian, and whispered, "Xiao Nian, what's wrong with this little girl?"

Qiao Xingnian asked without answering: "Brother, we've been walking for so long, and we didn't see anyone. Don't you think it's strange that a little girl emerged from the grass for no reason?"

"It's strange, but she looks like a little girl. Didn't we come out of the illusion? Maybe she got separated from her parents, so she appeared here."

Qiao Xingnian didn't answer, but recited the spell silently, tapped Jiang Mohan's brows, and said, "Brother, I opened the eyes of the sky for you, and you can look at that little girl again."

Jiang Mohan looked over subconsciously, and saw that the little girl's innocent face changed into a terrifying cat's face, with scarlet eyes looking at him coldly.

"Ah!" Jiang Mohan was taken aback and couldn't help crying out.

Hearing the cry, the little girl realized that her identity had been exposed, and rushed towards the crowd.

Qiao Xingnian took a step forward, stood in front of the crowd, and silently recited a spell. A spell appeared in his hand. Immediately after exerting force on his wrist, the soft spell shot towards the little girl like a sword.

"Aw!" There was a shrill and strange scream, and the little girl fell to the ground with a "bang", a black shadow sprang out from her body, and then disappeared.

Qiao Xingnian stepped forward, helped the little girl up, checked her breath, and said, "She's fine, she just passed out."

Lin Nanyue stepped forward and said, "Let me take care of her, you still have to deal with those evil spirits."

Qiao Xingnian took out a spell and put it in her pocket, and said, "That's fine."

Lin Nanyue took the little girl over and hugged her carefully.

Qiao Xingnian looked at Jiang Mohan, saw him looking around nervously, and said, "Brother, those wandering around are wandering souls. They have no resentment on them, and they won't cause us any harm."

No matter where the mountains, rivers and rivers are, there will be many wandering souls. Jiang Mohan opened his eyes and could see them naturally.

"They... are they really ghosts?"

The facts are right in front of him, Jiang Mohan can't believe it or not, his world view is rapidly collapsing.

"They all couldn't let go of the obsession in their hearts and refused to reincarnate, so they missed the opportunity and became ignorant ghosts until they completely dissipated." Qiao Xingnian sighed and said: " Just a bunch of poor people."

Hearing what Qiao Xingnian said, the fear in Jiang Mohan's heart subsided a lot, and looking at those terrifying faces, it was not so scary anymore.

Li Xiaoshuai swallowed, pulled Qiao Xingnian's clothes, and said, "Qiao... Brother Qiao, look over there."

Qiao Xingnian followed his gaze and saw that the empty place was crowded with people at some point.

They were men, women, old and young, all with dull eyes and stiff movements, just like zombies in post-apocalyptic movies, slowly walking towards them.

"They are all possessed by evil spirits!" Qiao Xingnian hurriedly recited the spell silently, and took out the mahogany sword and amulet from the space, as well as a long roll of red thread strung with money.

Qiao Xingnian handed the red thread to Li Xiaoshuai and Xu Jianing, and said, "This red thread has been soaked in the blood of a rooster, and the copper coins on it are also a magic weapon for exorcising ghosts and suppressing evil spirits. You two hold them, and when you see the right time, transfer these Surrounded by people. Remember, no matter who talks to you during the period, don’t respond, do you understand?”

Li Xiaoshuai and Xu Jianing looked at each other, nodded heavily, and said, "Understood!"

Qiao Xingnian turned to look at Jiang Mohan, and said, "Brother, this is a spell. If someone approaches you, stick to him, just like them. No matter who asks you a question, don't answer it. Do you understand?"

Jiang Mohan swallowed his saliva and said, "Understood...understood."

Qiao Xingnian bit his finger, smeared it on the mahogany sword, and drew runes on it with great speed, and then rushed into the crowd with the sword in his hand.

"I'll lead them to one place, and you play by ear."

Li Xiaoshuai and Xu Jianing were about to answer when they heard Lin Nanyue say: "Remember what Xing Nian said just now, no matter who talks to you, just listen and don't answer."

Their hearts tightened, they looked at each other, each held one end of the red thread, and looked at Qiao Xingnian in the field.

Qiao Xingnian shuttled through the crowd with a wooden sword in his hand. Anyone who was hit by him would scream, and black smoke would come out from their bodies. They were not afraid of death. They really looked like zombies in post-apocalyptic movies.

Qiao Xingnian tried his best to bring people together, Li Xiaoshuai and Xu Jianing saw the right moment, ran quickly, and surrounded most of them.Seeing this, Qiao Xingnian jumped out of the range of the red rope and quickly cleaned up the remaining people.

A young woman lay on the ground with her hands and feet, lying on the ground like a cat, her scarlet eyes stared straight at Jiang Mohan, her ten fingers clawed at the ground, and slowly approached.

Jiang Mohan felt chills when she saw her. He tightly held the charm Qiao Xingnian gave him in his hand, and slowly backed away as she approached.

Suddenly, the woman arched her body, kicked back, and rushed towards Jiang Mohan with a shrill meow.

Jiang Mohan looked at Qiao Xingnian who was waving a wooden sword in the distance, gritted his teeth and rushed towards the woman. Seeing that he was about to collide with the woman, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and stretched out his hand to slap the charm on the woman.

"Ow!"

A shrill scream rang in his ears, and then a heavy object hit his body, Jiang Mohan's body unconsciously fell back, and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Qiao Xingnian hurried over, pushed the woman aside, and asked with concern, "Brother, how are you?"

Jiang Mohan, who was smashed to the point of staring at him, opened his eyes and saw Qiao Xingnian at a glance. Just as he was about to speak, he remembered Qiao Xingnian's instructions. He drew out a charm and stuck it on Qiao Xingnian's forehead, and then black smoke rose. , "Qiao Xingnian" held his head in pain, a cat face appeared, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Jiang Mohan couldn't help feeling thankful, otherwise Qiao Xingnian would have been held back.

Jiang Mohan quickly got up and looked around vigilantly. Seeing Lin Nanyue running over with the little girl in his arms, he quickly stopped him and said, "Stop, don't come over!"

Hearing this, Lin Nanyue stopped in his tracks, stood not far from Jiang Mohan, and said, "Doctor Jiang, I am Lin Nanyue, and I am not possessed by evil spirits."

Hearing Lin Nanyue's response to him, Jiang Mohan couldn't help frowning slightly, just about to speak, but closed his mouth again, still looking at him vigilantly.The "Qiao Xingnian" just now was a fake, but he didn't see it when he opened his eyes. He can't believe anyone now, unless the person didn't respond after putting the spell on.

Seeing that Jiang Mohan didn't respond, Lin Nanyue suddenly realized something, didn't speak anymore, and turned to look at the chaotic battlefield.

Li Xiaoshuai and Xu Jianing looped the red rope around several big trees, then tied it with a knot, seeing those people rushing towards them, they retreated unconsciously.

The place surrounded by the red rope seems to have erected a high wall to trap those people firmly inside. As long as someone touches the wall, it will be like being shocked by an electric shock, screaming, and jumping on the body. Black smoke billowed out.

Li Xiaoshuai and Xu Jianing watched the scene in front of them, and couldn't help swallowing their saliva. They never thought that the scene in the movie would actually come true in reality.

Qiao Xingnian finished solving the fish that slipped through the net, put away the mahogany sword, bit his finger again, and drew a talisman in the air. The bloody talisman quickly took shape, flew into the air and magnified several times, covering the sky above the red rope, and then Spinning rapidly, absorbing the grievances of the imprisoned people.

Everyone in the red rope howled piercingly, and fell to the ground after a few minutes.

And the bloody charm that was full of food and drink quickly shrunk, flew unsteadily to Qiao Xingnian's side, and was taken into the Soul Requiem Bell by him.

After finishing everyone off, Qiao Xingnian couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Pack up your things, wake them up, and let them go down the mountain before it's dark."

Jiang Mohan looked at Qiao Xingnian, walked towards him, stretched out his hand and stuck a spell on his body, seeing that Qiao Xingnian didn't respond, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "It's true, it's true of."

Seeing Jiang Mohan's reaction, Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "Brother, if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, just like what happened just now, stick the spell first."

"Yeah, you don't know that I almost lost my mind just now, that cat-faced monster turned into your appearance and talked to me. I wanted to agree, but when I thought of what you said, I shut my mouth, and then a spell After pasting it, it disappeared with a scream."

Jiang Mohan recounted what happened just now, his eyes hard to hide the pride.

Qiao Xingnian smiled in satisfaction, untied the red rope and put it in the Soul Requiem bell, walked to the man closest to him, knelt down and woke him up.

The man opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Qiao Xingnian for no reason, and said, "Where is this, why am I here?"

Qiao Xingnian pretended to be confused and said: "This is Chashan. We are here for tourism. As soon as we got here, we found you all fainted on the ground. We wanted to call the police, but there was no signal on the phone. What's going on with you? "

"Us?" The man looked around and found that many people were lying on the ground, his eyes were dazed, and he said, "I... I just remember that I came to travel and found a cave while climbing a mountain, so we went in , and then...how did I appear here?"

"This is too evil! It is said on the Internet that many people have disappeared in Chashan in the past two days. Is it true?"

Lin Nanyue said cooperatively: "Stop talking so much, hurry up and wake up the others, and hurry down the mountain."

Everyone squatted down, woke up the others, and persuaded them to go down the mountain with the same reason. After they learned that they all lost consciousness after entering the cave, they already wanted to go down the mountain without Qiao Xingnian's persuasion.

The little girl woke up before, and found her parents. After thanking them a thousand times, they also hurried down the mountain.

Qiao Xingnian turned to look at Jiang Mohan and the others, and said, "It's too dangerous here, you go down the mountain first, and I'll stay to save the others."

Jiang Mohan frowned immediately when he heard the words, and said, "How can you stay alone?"

"Brother, without your burden, those evil spirits are no match for me at all. I can't just stand by and watch so many people being killed."

"There are policemen to save lives."

"The police can't handle this kind of thing."

"Can……"

Qiao Xingnian interrupted Jiang Mohan's words, and said soothingly, "Brother, don't worry, I'll be fine, at most I'll go back tomorrow."

Lin Nanyue looked at Qiao Xingnian, then at Jiang Mohan, and said, "Doctor Jiang, I believe in Xingnian's ability, as you have seen just now, even without us, he can accomplish those things, we can only be his drag."

A sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in Jiang Mohan's heart, he looked at Qiao Xingnian with a wry smile, and said, "Brother is useless, I can't help you, you go, brother will wait for you to come back."

"Brother, what are you talking about? You are the famous Dr. Jiang, a rising star in the medical field. How can you say that you are useless? This world is so big, and only when you perform your duties can you function. Who can say that you are omnipotent? If you want me to go to the operating table, I can't even suture, so should I say I'm useless?"

Jiang Mohan took a deep breath, hugged Qiao Xingnian, and said, "Xiao Nian, I'm actually very selfish. I don't want you to be a hero. I just want you to be safe. But if it's your own choice, then brother Support you."

Qiao Xingnian hugged Jiang Mohan back, and said emotionally, "Thank you brother."

Jiang Mohan didn't delay any longer, pushed Qiao Xingnian away, turned around and left, he was afraid that if he stayed for a while, he would change his mind.

Lin Nanyue looked at Qiao Xingnian, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'll wait for you to come back."

"Team Lin, if you go back to Big Brother Zheng's villa, be careful of Zheng Xiaohai, I'm worried that he has been possessed by an evil spirit. Remember to tell other people not to leave the amulet."

"Okay, I'll take it down."

Lin Nanyue took a deep look at Qiao Xingnian, then turned and left.

Qiao Xingnian watched them leave, then looked up at the sky, and prayed in his heart that those people would go down the mountain before sunset, otherwise they would be another trouble if they were possessed by evil spirits.

The evil spirits must have ulterior motives to lure them to the top of the mountain. Unlike others who searched all over the mountains and plains, it would be better to go directly to the top of the mountain and wait for the rabbit, which would save him a lot of effort.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xingnian turned into a soul and floated towards the top of the mountain.
