Haunting Spectre Road - CH 6

Expert

There is still the same towering wood forest next to it; the same weeds are deep, and the same moonlight shines brightly on the top. As the outline of the e-education building becomes clearer and clearer, the atmosphere next to it slowly becomes weird, and the moonlight gradually turns pale. There seems to be something in the surrounding air that is constantly flowing, and the crow’s cry also increases. Is it an illusion? Or is this the real road to haunting spectre road?He Jianfei had no time to figure it out. He had already run to the intersection at the fastest speed in his life, rushed in without hesitation, and shouted, “I’m already here; don’t hurt people anymore!”

Before the voice landed, He Jianfei was already startled. Through the bleak moonlight, he could tell that there was a corpse lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, with his eyes protruding and his mouth wide open, and his face was full of horror. Zhang Chuanxun died on the main school road; his senior brother died on a small tree by the road. Now the body appeared on top of the hill. The haunting spectre road eventually begins to take on life.Sure enough, it was a demonstration! Is he already one step late? “No!” He Jianfei was extremely shocked and yelled out, “You just want to lure me out.” I am already here. Why do you want to kill one more life? Dong, come out to see me! “No matter how deep your hatred is, can’t a group of twenty-three lives be worth it?”

The surroundings were quiet, and there was no sound at all, except occasionally a whimper of branches and leaves from the ancient trees next to it. He Jianfei saw something shiny in the distance, which seemed to be a silver-plated lighter. of the deceased? He Jianfei thought, and he stepped forward to pick it up to take a closer look. Suddenly, a bloodless white hand stretched out from the grass next to him and picked up the lighter one step faster than He Jian. He Jianfei was taken aback and quickly retracted his hand. At this moment, a gust of wind blew, poking away the grass covering the white hands. He Jianfei took a deep breath and staggered two steps in an instant. Behind that white hand—the white hand that touched the lighter but let go—was just a lonely broken arm, slowly touching on the strange moonlight path, touching… all the way to He Jianfei’s feet.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, He Jianfei, who was almost completely unconscious, woke up suddenly, and at the moment when the white hand was about to touch his feet, he jumped back. Ghost Qi coming directly from the netherworld? He Jianfei’s mind was undecided, and the white hand still swam slowly towards him. Disturbing the mind with fear and then taking the opportunity to kill is the usual method of killing people on the road of injustice. He Jianfei hurriedly leaped back a few steps and opened his windbreaker, and the relic necklace that was already about to move inside suddenly glowed with gold. There was a strange “squeak” in the grass, and the white hands turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared. The crisis has been eliminated. He Jianfei barely calmed down, but his feet still trembled without listening to the instructions. He has followed his master for so many years and has seen tens of thousands of ghosts, but he has never been as shocked as this time. His heart was completely numb for a period of time, and he was almost killed.

Just after escaping from that white hand, He Jianfei felt the chill behind him again, and his whole body trembled involuntarily. Turning his head slowly, he could see something out of the corner of his eyes.A suspended white shadow stood in the dense grass, with long hair covering his face. He was rickety and stood about 2 metres away from He Jianfei, but the voice was as clear as it was against his ears: “My life can be reached by twenty-three people; my hate, I will never be able to pay it off!” He Jianfei stood dumbfounded; those two words seemed to have magic power, and they surrounded his ears endlessly. Dong? Has the hatred reached this point? What happened to their class that year—what big event could make a weak woman make such a big determination to never be reborn, preferring to become an endless horror legend? He Jianfei looked down at the relic necklace, surrounded by golden auras, knowing that the ghost aura here is deep. Although the relic necklace is powerful, I am afraid it can only last for fifteen minutes. But he really wanted to know the inside story of the twists and turns of the year. He twisted his neck and wanted to turn his head to talk to Dong. Speaking positively and afraid of provoking Dong?, I didn’t bring any powerful magic weapons, and I had no chance of winning. For a long time, he took a deep breath and tried to stabilise his tone: “I don’t know how deep your hatred is, but I believe that even deeply rooted fateful chakras can be solved, not to mention hatred; it’s just the degree of difficulty.” I advised Dong. In a word, when you turn back, you must not harm people’s lives and aggravate your own sins; otherwise, it will be difficult to exceed even if you come in person! There was a faint laugh from behind: “Fate?” It turned out that the first disciple of the famous Buddhist family in the magic world also thought that this was just fate. He Jianfei raised his eyebrows. “Since you know that I am a person from the world of magic, are you not afraid that I will ask for help in the future to break you into the 18th layer of hell and never be reborn?” “Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted. I don’t think you don’t understand this truth.”

“I don’t understand.” I don’t care anymore, a few more people and a few fewer people are not the same, as long as it is a person, I will kill. Since mine is fate, then the death of all people is a continuation of this fate.”There is no greater mourning than death, Dong? Already the heart is like a wood, there is no madness, no paranoia, no cruelty, only plainness as always, is this the most grief-stricken realm? He Jianfei had goosebumps in his hand, he originally thought that he could suppress her with a relic necklace, but now it seems that she has been suppressing him.

What happened ahead? Who speaks inside? A little yellow light flashed at the intersection, and He Jianfei was shocked and hurriedly shouted, “Don’t come in; there is a…” The fierce wind suddenly rose, blowing up the loess and gravel in the sky as well as those rotting blades of grass, and rushing towards the intersection like a tornado.

“Dong?!” He Jianfei pushed aside the sand desperately, ran towards the intersection with difficulty, and shouted hoarsely, “Stop, Dong.” Stop, Dong! In any case, it’s a dispute between Ah Qiang’s generation and you. You don’t want to repay it again and again! Stop——” The wind stopped suddenly.

“Bang dang” is the sound of a flashlight falling.

He Jianfei stopped and stayed there, and in front of his eyes, a familiar face looked at him with a shocked expression, looking very shocked and disbelieving at him. It is the student union cadre, Xiaozheng. Two lines of thick and viscous blood flowed out from the eye sockets, and the pupils burst with blood because of the instant dilation, and a body that was once as strong as a cow fell down little by little in front of him. He Jianfei’s blood was cold from head to toe, and he knew that it was not him whom Xiao Zheng saw, was shocked by, and did not believe—because Xiao Zheng was already dead at that time!

The strong wind had subsided long ago, the white shadow had disappeared, and the surroundings became quiet again, as if nothing had happened, no one had died, and no ghosts haunted. He Jianfei’s legs gave way, and he kneeled beside the corpse. For the first time in my life, he felt so useless. What does it mean to subdue demons and save all living beings? I have learned a lot of spells, just to see how a living person dies in front of me. Now I feel exhausted physically and mentally, and I don’t know whether what I did is right or wrong. “Dong, what happened back then?” “It made you hate humans so much?!” He Jianfei yelled to the sky, full of grief and indignation, but the only answer he received was the rubbing sound of the grass next to him.

The endless, boring questioning at the police station, the astonishing hatred of Dong Yu, and those bleeding eyes made He Jianfei unable to calm down. He looked at the newspaper but couldn’t read anything, so he looked at the scenery outside, but he didn’t know if it was the effect of psychological hints. The trees moving back quickly looked like they were walking on the path of evil spirits. He Jianfei simply closed his eyes and rested his mind. Tian Yinzhen saw that he hadn’t said a word since he got on the train, so she naturally knew what was wrong with him. At this time, she didn’t persuade him, and he didn’t persuade her. She was anxious for a while, and when he closed his eyes and planned to sleep, she was stunned for a long time. Knowing that persuasion was not enough, she took out the information on the Haunting Spectre Road that she had sorted out. Anyway, the time for the train to Wutai Mountain is still early. The rumbling sound kept ringing, and the depressing atmosphere gradually dissipated in the train carriage. Two hours had passed because the relationship between the trains had been temporarily suspended many times without reason. Some people on the train began to be dissatisfied, and the sounds of complaints, conversations, guesses, and questions and answers began to fill the entire train chaotically. Tian Yinzhen put down the information in her hand, looked at the restless crowd around her, and sighed softly; this naturally could not escape her. He Jianfei, who was actually sleeping but had closed his eyes to nourish his mind, sat up all of a sudden and said to Tian Yinzhen, “Found something wrong?” Tian Yinzhen was startled and said with a smile: “Well, you are a handsome man; you have been pretending to sleep, but I was deceived by you.” Talking about the information in my hand, she said: “After reading it for two hours, I finally saw some clues.” I sorted out a few big doubts, hoping to help our search. He Jianfei smiled and said, “I just thought about it for two hours, and I came up with many big doubts.” Tian Yinzhen “That’s right, let me tell you first; let me see if it matches what you want.” He clapped her hands and laughed.

Seeing He Jianfei nod, Tian Yinzhen began to snap her fingers and said, “The first point is the suspicion of Dong Yu’s death. According to legend, Dong Yu committed suicide because she was misdiagnosed as having cancer. This is already proven to be incorrect. The real cause of death was the doctor’s fault, and the classmates in the class should not be blamed. Therefore, the first doubt is introduced. It was due to a classmate who died unjustly but spread the erroneous cause of death. What was the motive? Why did people believe this at the time? The second point is Ah Qiang’s death. Including Dong Yu, twenty-three students in the class committed suicide. However, Ah Qiang’s method of death was unique. From the attitude of the police station and the narration of Old Man Li, it can be seen that people thought that Ah Qiang’s death was a homicide at that time. Judging from the existing information, Ah Qiang’s use of the Sanhua body protection technique also showed from another aspect that he could not commit suicide. Therefore, there is a second doubt: why did all the classmates commit suicide, but Ah Qiang desperately wanted to save his life? Was it because of Ah Qiang’s failure to save his life that other classmates had to commit suicide? The third point is the time for a forced movement. According to the janitor’s uncle, Ah Qiang went out once at two or three o’clock in the evening. The specific time of Ah Qiang’s death was not mentioned in Uncle Li’s narrative. This can be seen as evidence that the time for forensic identification and reporting at that time was not far from the time of Ah Qiang’s death, but according to the habits of ordinary people, it is omitted. But it was strange that Uncle Li didn’t mention when Ah Qiang came back. Because it is of great significance to infer the specific time when Ah Qiang had an accident in the dormitory, it is impossible to omit it because of some habit, so what is the reason why the shrewd old man Li didn’t pay attention to this time either? “This is the third doubt.” After speaking, a pair of bright eyes looked at He Jianfei, waiting for his response.

He Jianfei was listening with relish, and when he saw Tian Yinzhen stop, knowing that she had finished speaking, he smiled and said, “I will answer your third doubt first.” You also know the art of Sanhua body protection. Only three stones are enough. If he went out just to find the three stones, then he didn’t need to go too far; maybe he had already gotten them by the door, so he wouldn’t leave for more than a minute. That’s why Old Man Li didn’t mention it. The focus is only on the fact that she is leaving. From the perspective of the process, leaving like this is equivalent to not leaving, and nothing can be done in just a few minutes. With such reverse reasoning, it is possible to infer the time when Ah Qiang came back. Now there are only two doubts left. It seems that it is not very good-looking if it is missing. “Let me make up a few more.”

“Make? ” Tian Yinzhen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Then what are the doubts you made up?”

Ah Qiang went out once at two or three o’clock in the evening. This is what the janitor said. If the school’s work and rest system has not changed much, according to our current dormitory opening time of 5:30 in the morning, no matter how early Ah Qiang was in that era, it would not be earlier than 5:00. So what was Uncle doing at two or three o’clock? Undoubtedly, he is sleeping. So how did he know that Ah Qiang was out? This can only be explained by the fact that Ah Qiang woke him up when he opened the door. He looked at his watch because there was no light in the room and the pointer was blurred. He couldn’t tell whether it was two or three o’clock, so he said it was two or three o’clock. Then the issue surfaced. “Who exactly is the person who went out?” Tian Yinzhen exclaimed, “Isn’t it already confirmed that it is Ah Qiang?” Only the president of the student council has the key. Uncle Li is from a different campus, and he definitely doesn’t live in the same building. He Jianfei said, “Yes, but the key is dead, and anyone can get it.” There is no strong evidence to prove that the person who went out was Ah Qiang. Maybe Ah Qiang didn’t leave the room by half a step that night. Those three small stones can be prepared during the day. Tian Yinzhen looked blankly at He Jianfei’s serious face and said in a daze, “Although… the possibility you mentioned exists, I think this possibility is minimal and it’s a dead end.” At that time, the situation was urgent, so Ah Qiang had to temporarily go out to find a stone to cast the Sanhua body protection. He Jianfei said: “After listening to the fourth doubt, you will know whether the connection is big or not.” As you said, according to the current situation, Ah Qiang was killed. A few days after his death, the whole class committed suicide in batches. What does this mean? He and the whole class had this premeditation a long time ago. In other words, the whole class knew that he might die. There was no movement in the dormitory on the night of Ah Qiang’s accident, nor did it alarm anyone. The people in their dormitory had expected him to die. In that case, what do you need Sanhua body protection for? Ah Qiang naturally had his intentions, unless… Tian Yinzhen’s whole body trembled suddenly; she almost jumped up and said, “I see, you suspect that Ah Qiang used this method to imply that his roommate poisoned him to death!” He Jianfei quickly looked around; only a few people who were napping glanced away, dissatisfied with Tian Yinzhen’s sudden shout, and no one paid attention to them. He turned his head and said vaguely, “Anyway, I think that the importance of the people who went out in the middle of the night cannot be ignored.”

This shocking discovery suddenly made the whole incident even more confusing. Judging from the note left by Ah Qiang, the whole class was about to commit suicide. He knew it and might have planned it, but now the whole class is working together to poison him to death. Is there a united front in Ah Qiang’s class? It would be unreasonable to deliberately kill Ah Qiang to relieve Dong’s grievances, not to mention that it is impossible to confirm Ah Qiang and Dong now. Tian Yinzhen was thinking of one head and two big ones, while He Jianfei closed his eyes again, not knowing whether it was a fake sleep or a real sleep.

There was a sudden commotion at the other end of the carriage. Tian Yinzhen was feeling bored, so she got up and wanted to take a look, only to hear a loud voice say, “You don’t buy a ticket and force yourself to squeeze up and occupy my seat; how can there be such a reason?”

An old man walked over tremblingly on crutches and said, “I’m not in good health, and I get dizzy when I stand all the time.”

“Old man, please sit here.” Tian Yinzhen was startled. He Jianfei had stood up at some point and smiled at the old man with laziness: “I happen to be tired from sitting, and I want to walk around.” Only then did Tian Yinzhen come to her senses. She also smiled and helped the old man to the seat, where she let him sit down. The old man sat down securely. Seeing that He Jianfei was about to leave, he hurriedly shouted, “Little boy, don’t go; chat with me.” “I have nothing in common with the girl.” Tian Yinhao smiled “puff,” and He Jianfei had no choice but to come back. The old man smiled and said, “The old man smiled and said, “The two little ones are so enthusiastic, I am too embarrassed to be here shamelessly.” “Seeing that you seem to be full of sorrow, tell me what is on your mind.” He Jianfei smiled and said, “You are too worried; we are just sleepy; what is there to worry about?” It is right to respect the elders; why are you so polite? Just sit down.” The old man looked at He Jianfei’s whole body and said, with a smile, “That’s true.” You two were hunted down by a fierce ghost. “In all, I have lost money sitting here.” He Jianfei and Tian Yinzhen’s faces changed drastically when they heard the words, “Why would you… The old man interrupted them with a wave of his hand: “Is this still worth it?” “It’s not easy to see.” “What are you doing with a relic necklace?”

The relic necklace is a treasure of the Wutai Mountain Buddhist Sect. Only a few big sects know about this and the function of the necklace, so He Jianfei dared to wear it openly. Who knew that he was actually seen through by this old man? He Jianfei hurriedly gathered his face and asked in a low voice, “May I ask the senior’s Dharma name or Dao name?” “The younger disciples, He Jianfei and Tian Yinzhen, would like to see you.” The old man said, “It’s not necessary; I have no relationship with you; and I don’t help people catch ghosts.” “What are you telling people for no reason?” I just came here to remind you when I saw the two people with bad luck just now. He Jianfei could only say: “Then, according to the senior, what is the power of this ghost?” “Is there any way to resolve it?” The old man smiled and said, “Under the world, it is an eternal truth that only one thing can overcome another.” “There is no invincible king in the world; the key is to see if you have the heart.” He Jianfei knew that he had met an expert and respectfully said, “Senior, please teach me what it means to have a heart.” The old man waved his hand and said, “How do I know if you have a heart?” “I’m not the roundworm in your stomach.”

“Wutai Mountain Station has arrived.” A cheerful female voice sounded. The old man laughed and said, “It’s time for you two to get down.” I won’t take this seat. “See you later.” He Jianfei and Tian Yinzhen looked at each other, and after a long while, they had to bow and say, “Then this junior will get down first.” “Senior, please take care.” “Remember, young man, as long as you have the heart, you can definitely break the haunting spectre road,” they said as they got out of the car, turning around to see the old man still happily waving his hands.He Jianfei was shocked. “What?” Do you know about the spectral road? “Wait a minute, please tell me…” The two had no choice but to stand on the platform, wondering. Tian Yinzhen said, “Why does he know the haunting spectre road?” “I thought about it for a long time, but I really can’t think of which faction he is from.” He Jianfei said thoughtfully, “Maybe he’s an expert who came here to give advice, but it’s a pity that I don’t know the name of the senior.” “Forget it, let’s go to Mount Wutai first; maybe my senior brother knows.”
