"Huh?"

There was an unexpected whisper outside:

"Is there anyone else?"

Then the voice suddenly became fierce:

"Why don't you leave quickly?"

Following the sound, there was another sound of wind.

"Crack!!"

A piece of green tile flew in and hit the wall three feet away from Lin Jue. It was so powerful that it was smashed into pieces.

The splashing rubble even hit Lin Jue's face.

"..."

Lin Jue couldn't help turning his head, looking at the location where the wall beside him was hit, looking at the distance between it and himself, and then touched his sore face, his eyes flickered, but he still didn't move.

In the stories of village elders, the fox spirits and ghosts that occupy human houses are often like this. They like to scare people away by throwing tiles and bricks, and some even beat people to bloody heads and even argue with them.

It seems that this person did not dare to hurt people's lives at will due to various considerations or concerns.

Based on the information he learned, although the Wang family's ancestral hall was occupied, they never reported the case to the county, nor did they hear of anyone losing their lives here. He was even more certain of this -

This one wants to scare him away.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

"Still not leaving?"

There was a sound from outside again.

"Crack!"

Another green tile flew over and was smashed to pieces.

It's still the original location.

"I think you are young, upright, and have not offended me, so I kindly advise you to leave. If you don't leave, your life will be lost here!"

The voices outside continued to threaten.

Lin Jue's eyes flickered, and he finally stood up slowly, still staring outside, but said: "I don't know whether you are a demon or a ghost, but if you want me to leave, you can't just throw away a piece of green tile."

"Yeah?"

Suddenly, there were several crackling sounds, and several pieces of green tiles flew over, hitting the wall closer to Lin Jue with greater force. Even the white powder on the wall was smashed off, and countless debris and dust were scattered.

Lin Jue subconsciously closed his eyes, then opened them, took a deep breath, but continued without looking at the wall beside him:

"Why don't you show up, Your Excellency?"

"I'm afraid I'll scare you to death!"

"Why not give it a try?"

"Do you want to die?"

"Then do you have any other skills?"

"Huh? I'm angry!"

"Bang!"

A dull sound.

What flew in this time was a blue brick, which hit the wall hard and was only one foot away from Lin Jue.

Lin Jue even felt the strong wind.

If this brick were to hit his head, he would probably be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

Lin Jue still didn't turn his head to look. He was afraid that after seeing it, he would become timid, so he still stared outside, guarded his heart, and even emphasized: "Your Excellency, you should be more than this, right?"

"You kid! Annoying!"

Then there was a slight pause, and there was another sound like gritting teeth.

"call……"

Just hearing a huge sound of wind, the head above the head suddenly became dark.

Then there was a muffled sound!

This thing actually got a huge bluestone slab from somewhere, like the kind used to pave roads or make steps in the village. As if to show its strength, it just threw it over the eaves and smashed it down from the patio.

.

After the bluestone slab was smashed down, it rolled around and slid for a while before stopping at Lin Jue's feet.

It won’t work if I don’t watch it this time.

Just at your feet.

No matter how dim the moonlight is, you can see clearly.

Lin Jue lowered his head slightly.

This bluestone slab is nearly a person long, a foot wide, and nearly a foot thick. It is a dark patch on the ground, and it is probably much heavier than a person.

If it hits it, it will really turn into meat paste.

"..."

Lin Jue took a deep breath but said nothing.

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

The voice outside continued to threaten.

It's a threat and an urging.

"..."

Lin Jue was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head:

"Don't leave..."

"Um?"

"Not leaving."

This time the voice was clearer and firmer.

"Um?"

The sounds outside became surprising.

At the same time, fog seemed to have formed outside, with distinct shapes under the bright moonlight, and was blown into the dormitory by the wind.

Lin Jue felt a strange feeling for the first time.

Before he could think about it carefully, he felt dizzy. The scene in front of him was rippled, and the ground was undulating. He seemed to be standing on the sea. At the same time, the thoughts in his mind suddenly became drowsy and confused, and he became drowsy.

Hesitation, loss of confidence and determination, and more fear and intention to give up.

Lin Jue put his hands on the wall and tried to stand upright.

There are really demons causing trouble in this ancestral hall!

This demon doesn't seem to be weak. I'm afraid I won't be able to fight it today. Why don't you leave first and go home and think of other options?

How can people fight against monsters and ghosts?

Although my uncle is very kind to me, he first has the grace to save my life, and then he has the affection to nurture me...

Life-saving grace...nurturing love...

No! Can’t leave!

Lin Jue struggled hard, fighting between heaven and man, and fighting against the cowardice in his heart.

"wrong!"

This is the magic of this monster.

Suddenly he realized that after understanding this, he changed from fighting between heaven and man and fighting against himself to fighting against this monster and magic. Lin Jue gradually gritted his teeth, dispelled these messy thoughts, and allowed his rationality and original purpose to

regain the upper hand.

"Don't leave!"

Lin Jue said again.

The sound fell to the ground, as if the spell had gone away, and the witchcraft had been defeated. He felt that his heart was gradually returning to peace, but he had just received a spell for the first time in his life, and under the impact of his body and mind, his heartbeat was still beating.

"Why? You're not afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Your Excellency has the power to take my life easily, but it should be noted that this kind of power is not only possessed by fairies and gods like you. There are many strong men in the world, even the one just now, can beat me to death with a punch." Lin Jue's voice.

Young but determined, he lowered his head and looked at the stone slab at his feet, "Am I afraid of everyone?"

"Ha! Interesting! How much money does that person named Wang give you to make you so determined?"

"It's not much, just enough money to save my life."

This ordinary sentence, which weighs a thousand pounds, actually made the monster outside who could throw a stone slab over the wall silent for a moment.

"Life-saving money?"

Lin Jue gasped, his hands shaking slightly, and he fumbled to light the oil lamp next to him and said:

"My uncle was the first to save my life. Last year, I accidentally fell into the water by the river. Thanks to him, he took the risk and rescued me, so I survived for the second time. Later, he took over the responsibility of my father to provide me with food, clothing, and education.

"Lin Jue seemed to be explaining to the monsters outside, but also seemed to be explaining it to himself, providing himself with reasons and confidence.

Thinking of the uncle who was bedridden, suffered a lot, and even almost died, I gradually became more and more calm.

"Now he is suffering from a serious disease and his life is in danger, and he is waiting for this money to save his life.

"Mr. Wang is a well-known good man and a wise man. I don't think he will be greedy for my money. If I die, there may be compensation. Therefore, even if I die today, I have to die in this ancestral hall.

I should trade my life for the life of my uncle."

Every time Lin Jue spoke, his voice became calmer and more confident, and in the end he was even completely unafraid.

Don't talk about family ties, just talk about kindness, and that's how it should be.

As it should be.

So my hands stopped shaking.

He just held the hatchet tightly in his hand and stared outside, paying attention to any bricks, tiles, bluestones that might fly in.

"If you really want me to leave, why don't you come in and fight me head-on?"

"..."

There was stillness and silence outside.

I don't know what it is doing.

After a long time, I heard a sound.

"puff……"

Then there was no more movement outside.

I don't know how long it took.

Lin Jue was still leaning against the wall, constantly thinking about the strange things and spells he had just experienced, while quietly observing and waiting. No matter how sleepy he was, he did not want to fall asleep easily, and he did not dare to fall asleep easily.

It's just that I'm extra sleepy tonight.

In this world, most people fall asleep shortly after dark and wake up before dawn. Counting the time, it is almost time for people to wake up.

In addition, after staying up all night, I had used up too much energy fighting against the spells, and gradually my eyelids began to fight, and I couldn't control it no matter what.

Falling asleep is something that happens unconsciously.

After falling asleep, another dream comes.

There seems to be nothing in the dream, so there is a feeling of whiteness. But there is an abstract figure in the whiteness, which seems to be visible, but also seems invisible. I only know that he is there, and he is there, and he is still there.

When talking to myself, the voice is equally indescribable.

Most dreams seem to be like this.

"The Wang family has some tricks up their sleeves. I disturbed them so much that they had no peace and drove them away. Then they also found some people to come and make me have no peace and try to drive me away."

The figure said as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Who are you?"

Lin Jue asked aloud.

"Didn't you just spend the whole night with me?" the figure said with a smile.

"It's Your Excellency..."

The dream was really wonderful. Lin Jue didn't think this was a dream, nor did he think this was real. He didn't think about who the other person was or why he was here. He just talked to him calmly:

"Why are you here, Your Excellency?"

“It’s a long story…

"I lived here a long time ago. At that time, there was no such village here. Later, I left for a while for business, and the Wang family built a house here. But everything in the world is not privately owned by anyone, let alone me.

There was no mark, so at first I had no idea of ​​taking back my residence and occupying their house. But as I got older, I wanted to come back."

The figure paused as he spoke:

"In addition, the ancestors of this family are quite virtuous, and I feel comfortable living in this ancestral hall, so I tried to take it back."

Taking possession and returning at the same time is quite contradictory.

"Now the Wang family has found a lot of people. Although many of them are timid, they still make my stay uncomfortable. Plus I met you, so there are three of them. They stayed all night, which is really annoying.

"I don't think it's possible to live here for the rest of my life." The figure paused as he spoke, "I see that although your five qi are not as pure as those of a saint, they are not mixed. You are quite courageous at a young age and have a calm heart."

, it is really rare to have a filial heart, so I came to you in a dream and said: I will leave tomorrow. Can you tell the family named Wang, and maybe you can get some reward money in exchange for medicine stones to save your uncle's life?

.”

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency!"

Lin Jue said sincerely in the dream.

"It's your fault, not mine."

"I also have to thank you, Your Excellency."

"You actually know a lot about etiquette!"

"I've also read books."

"Reading is a good thing."

"Your Excellency just said that there are three of them including me. Who are they? I have only heard of one." Lin Jue obeyed his inner curiosity and naturally asked.

"You are one of them. There is also a butcher, an old master who teaches in Shucun." The figure also answered him, "The butcher is full of blood, and my breath is useless to him. After drinking wine, he will collapse when he gets here.

He slept as if he were dead, and I didn’t want to hurt him and kill him, and I couldn’t wake him up, so I had to let him succeed.”

"Old Master from Shucun?"

Lin Jue became interested. Wasn't this the teacher who taught him?

"Yes, that old master has no knowledge, but he has a strict nature and has never done any bad things in his life. This is very rare! Alas, many gods will retreat when they see such a person, let alone me.

What kind of goblin is this that has only a small way of doing things but no means?"

Lin Jue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this.

This answer was beyond his expectation.

It was also at this time that he realized that this was not a ghost, but a monster.

"But isn't Mr. Wang also a well-known good man in the countryside and has done many good deeds?"

"He did some good deeds, but the truly kind-hearted ones were his ancestors. He was just from a wealthy family, so he continued the tradition of his ancestors and did some good deeds to gain fame for himself in exchange for benefits." The figure's voice paused.

After a while, he said, "This is not wrong, nor is it a bad thing, or even a good thing, so I never thought about hurting him or hitting him. However, it is still impossible for me to respect him so much because of this, and avoid him when things happen.

"

"It's actually like this..."

Before he could think deeply about the interestingness of this conversation, the dream quickly receded like mountain fog illuminated by the sun and blown away by the wind.

There is only one erratic sentence left at the end:

"Seeing that you understand etiquette well and respect me, I will give you one more word: I see that your soul is strong and unstable, and you need to take more care of yourself. It is best to find a way to rest your soul."

In a daze, people have woken up.

It's almost dawn.

He was still in the ancestral hall, leaning against the wall. There were still bricks and rubble around him, and a lot of white powder fell on the ground. His feet were pressed against the bluestone in front of him, and the traces on the floor tiles of the ancestral hall caused by the rolling and sliding of the bluestone were also faint.

It was vaguely visible under the light, but he was unscathed.

After Lin Jue was stunned, he suddenly got up and walked out.

Sure enough, it was almost dawn.

There are already roosters crowing outside.

I saw a figure about knee-high at the foot of the wall. It was difficult to tell whether the color was yellow or hemp in the dim light. I could only tell that he was standing and walking like a human being. He also had a bag on his back and disappeared in a flash.

Lin Jue was stunned again.

Then he came back to his senses, couldn't help but move in that direction, bowed his hands and bowed deeply.

I just frowned, and I was really confused--

What kind of world is this?
Chapter completed!
