Autumn is deeply melancholy.In the rain and fog, the earth was so cold that there was no trace of life.The group of people walking on the road leading to Yueyang looked more and more lonely. In the carriage in the middle of the brigade, Leng Yaoxi, who was wearing a big red Su Luo Xiapei, her mind and body fluctuated with the bumps of the carriage.What kind of place will she be going to Luzhou?What kind of person is that Xue Hao known as the Young Hero? A thick male voice sounded kindly outside the car curtain: "Miss, are you feeling bored? How about we find a place to rest and wait for the rain to pass before we go on our way. This place is only twenty miles away from Qingping County. We're on our way, there's no need to be in such a hurry..." Ma Jingming, one of the Eight Vajras in the Xuanyou Castle of her Leng family, said this.She has always respected this prudent and reasonable elder, so she nodded and said softly: "Rushing at this time is really hard for all the uncles, so I will trouble Uncle Ma..."

Ma Jingming yelled, urged the horse to go forward, and yelled loudly: "Brothers, let's work harder, the lady has spoken, and we will hit the tip in the maple forest in front!" Hearing these words, the miserable knights were shocked, and all shouted to urge their horses to move forward.For a moment, Leng Yaoxi's ears were filled with thunderous hooves. In a blink of an eye, he has come to the maple forest.Ma Jingming raised his hand, and everyone stopped the horses one after another.He took the horse a few steps, and silently observed the woods with the eyes of an old Jiang Hu.The dense red maple trees are hidden in the rain and fog, and they are so gorgeous that people are intoxicated.Breeze blows through the forest, and the layers of maple leaves undulate like blood-colored waves.Except for the sound of the wind, the whole forest was dead silent.Without reason, Ma Jingming felt uneasy, and murmured: "It's strange, there is no movement of birds or beasts..."

A knight suddenly pointed to the front and whispered: "Horse head, look, what is that?" Ma Jingming looked up and saw a horse swinging out at the end of the road.The rain and fog blurred, and it was impossible to see who was sitting immediately.I saw the horse walking slowly along the road, stopping suddenly, and walking to the side of the road, like a lonely horse without an owner. "The idea is wrong, everyone be careful!" Ma Jingming shouted in a low voice.Everyone looked dignified and put their hands on their weapons one after another.The horse continued to walk, and the person on the horse still lowered his head, without any movement.

When you get closer, everyone can see clearly.The man on the horse was dressed in gray, wearing a sun hat, with a sword on his side, and a horse-wrapped blanket behind his saddle. He looked like he was walking in the rivers and lakes.A young knight exclaimed softly: "It seems to be Li Run, who stood in front of us!" "Yes, I know his clothes and horse, why did he turn back?" Another knight was also uneasy. "Shut up!" Ma Jingming shouted.Everyone fell silent.A tall black-clothed knight urged his horse forward a few steps, and when he came to Li Run's horse, he stopped and asked loudly, "Brother Li, what happened in front?" Li Run sat down with his head down. On the saddle, without speaking, the whole person was hidden in the shadow of the cloak.The tall knight wiped the rain from his face, and was about to say something, when he suddenly let out a soft "Huh", turned over and got off the horse.

The rain became more and more dense, and Ma Jingming just saw the knight bent down, picked up something from the ground not far in front of Li Run's horse, and slowly looked at it in his hand.He licked his lips, and was about to ask a question, but saw the tall knight take a step back, pulling lightly as if he was grabbing something. With a soft "poof", the man's head immediately rolled forward, his limbs were immediately peeled off, his torso was split into pieces of flesh and blood, and the purple blood flowed along the tall horse's body. The body suddenly collapsed and shattered in the rain.

The tall knight staggered back a few steps, opened his mouth wide to the limit, and kept inhaling, but couldn't make a sound.He turned around and looked at Ma Jingming in fear, his lips were trembling constantly, every muscle on his face was tightening, and the deformed face was full of despair and fear.Ma Jingming's hair stood on end, he collected himself and shouted loudly: "Come back soon!" The tall knight was shocked all over, then turned around, and ran back here as if desperately.Just after running a dozen steps, there was another soft "poof", as if being cut by an invisible guillotine in the air, his head flew away from his neck abruptly, and it rose straight up several feet before going down. fall.Blood spurted from the neck like a fountain, but the headless body still staggered forward several feet before suddenly falling down.Everyone screamed.

Ma Jingming gritted his teeth and shouted: "Protect Miss!" He dismounted first and stood in front of the carriage with a knife in hand.The other Lengjiabao knights also drew their weapons and gathered around the carriage nervously. Leng Yaoxi was in the car and didn't see the horrible scene, so she hurriedly asked, "Uncle Ma, what happened?" ..." Ma Jingming's voice was still calm, but his temples and forehead were covered with sweat. For a long time, there was no movement outside.Leng Yaoxi was wondering when she heard a thin humming sound coming from the front.Then someone said in horror: "God! What is that?" Then Ma Jingming roared: "Everyone be careful!" Immediately, the sound of weapons piercing through the air could not be heard, but there was no sound of weapons hitting.It seems that everyone is frantically brandishing their weapons, fighting an invisible enemy.

The sound of angry shouts, screams, horse hissing wildly, and the sound of corpses falling to the ground cruelly pricked Leng Yaoxi's eardrums.She desperately covered her ears and closed her eyes tightly.I don't know how long it took, all the voices fell silent again, only Ma Jingming's heavy breathing was left outside. "Come out!" he yelled in an inflected voice.no answer. "Come out—!" He continued to shout with a louder voice. The forest wind blows, and the leaves rustle in the wind. "Qing Nan, look, they are all dead, are you happy?" A deep and pleasant man's voice sounded softly.Immediately, a gentle woman's laughter rang out.The laughter flickered from east to west, elusive, as if the laugher was a ghost, wandering randomly around.Although the voice was clear and sweet, it faintly revealed a kind of desperate madness.

Leng Yaoxi was so frightened that she trembled all over, and her hands covering her ears tightened even more.But no matter how tightly she covered it, the voice still passed into her ears without hindrance. "Qing Nan, tell me, can you kill the remaining two people?" The man asked again.This time Leng Yaoxi heard clearly, the voice came from the woods on the left.Apparently, Ma Jingming also noticed this, he let out a loud roar, raised his knife and rushed, only a few ups and downs, and rushed into the forest. There was a burst of low laughter, followed by Ma Jingming's scream, his voice was sharp and distorted, full of unbelievable horror, as if he had seen the most terrifying scene in the world.

There was another long period of dead silence. Leng Yaoxi was covered in cold sweat, her hands were trembling, but she still didn't dare to open the car curtain. "Uncle Ma's martial arts are so high, he will be fine. He will take me to Luzhou and marry Xue Hao. Didn't Dad tell me that? Dad's words are never wrong, never..." She trembled and repeated Tell yourself that if you stop, something terrible will happen again. Slow and heavy footsteps sounded in the forest to the left of the sedan chair, approaching step by step. "Uncle Ma..." Leng Yaoxi called out tentatively.The sound of footsteps paused for a moment, and then sounded slowly again.

Leng Yaoxi suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, this fragrance is very similar to the fragrance of powder that women usually use, but it is extremely strong, and there is also a rotten smell mixed in the fragrance.It seemed that what was approaching was not a person, but a corpse of a woman with heavy make-up. With this thought, Leng Yaoxi was in a trance for a while, as if she really saw a well-dressed female corpse walking towards her step by step.Another female singing sounded softly: "The red leaf tree, the cuckoo bird, the shirt is in a mess. The acacia, the lifeless grass, I will invite you again in the Ming Dynasty..." The singing was melancholy and resentful, with a bit of ghostly air.Leng Yao listened tremblingly, her hair stood on end, her body became cold and stiff. The singing outside was floating around the carriage, but it stopped suddenly when it reached the door.Leng Yaoxi looked at the car door in horror, the strong aroma mixed with the smell of the dead faintly entered her nose through the door curtain.The singing woman was just outside the car door. Suddenly, a hand reached halfway in and grabbed the door curtain—— The slender hands were covered with thick powder, which was frighteningly white.The back of the hand was covered with layers of wrinkles, and the long, curved nails were lifeless black.That hand grabbed the door curtain and yanked it—the door curtain fell off. "Ah—ah—ah——" Leng Yaoxi's terrifying and desperate screams startled countless birds in the forest, fluttering their wings and flying high...
