Chapter 91 - Illusions in the Rain

"Ahh …"

Di Jinlian suddenly let out a miserable scream.

Dou Dabao and I were so frightened by his sudden shout that we trembled. When we turned around, we saw her squatting in the grass with his hands behind her head.

"What's wrong?" I hurried over and pulled her up.

Di Jinlian's face was deathly pale and her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. Her entire body was trembling uncontrollably;

After a while, she suddenly looked around her and then looked up at me. "You're here?"

I was startled, but quickly reacted. "You are Pan Ying?"

"Yes."

When I saw her nod, my mind was in a mess.

The situation that happened to Pan Ying was so bizarre that it was indescribable.

I'm sure she wasn't simply possessed by a ghost before. In comparison, it was more like he had been possessed.

What was inconceivable was that in an instant, she had actually turned back into Pan Ying. Wasn't she supposed to be in the bathroom's mirror?

Dou Dabao suddenly said something out of the blue. "Is this a soul exchange?"

Upon seeing me looking at him, she stealthily lowered her voice. "Or is it that she has a split personality?"

"You're the one with a split personality!" Pan Ying glared at him and said.

I pointed at Pan Ying's nose and resentfully nodded, "I'll deal with you later."

This man definitely hid a lot of things, saying that he had dreamt of Di Jinlian for a whole week was most likely bullsh * t.

Pan Ying avoided my gaze and in the blink of an eye, she also saw the water jar. Her body visibly trembled and she took two steps back: "Why is there a water jar here? Then … Is that hair? "

I said, "In the early years, large families would have large water vats in their homes, which would normally be replaced with rain water to water flowers and other things. The main purpose was to prevent fires and to put out fires." To bury the vat in the ground is to prevent it from cracking in the winter. "

Dou Dabao found a branch and plucked the courage to go pick at the hair in the jar.

With just a single move, a face appeared in the water tank.

Rather than calling it a face, it was more like a skull-sized skull.

Perhaps it was because he had been in the water for so long, but the layer of skin above it seemed to be very slippery, and there was even a layer of green hair growing on it. His eyeballs had long since rotted away, leaving only two black eye sockets.

"Yes …" It's a woman. " Dou Dabao's voice trembled.

Just as he finished speaking, a red light suddenly flashed in one of the skull's eye sockets.

Immediately after, a pitch black monster snake suddenly leapt out from its eye sockets, flying straight towards Dou Dabao along the branch.

"Ahh …"

In the midst of Pan Ying's screams, I instinctively stretched out my hand and grabbed onto the snake's tail, slamming it onto the edge of the vat.

With a "pu" sound, the strange snake turned into soft leather.

I was in a hurry to let go, but before I could see what the snake looked like, the carcass slipped into the tank.

Dou Dabao was so scared that his face turned white. After a long while, he said while trembling: "Mother, you scared me to death."

I glanced at the tank again. "Something's wrong with the body."

"What's wrong?" Pan Ying asked, trembling.

"After being in the water for so long, the corpse should have been completely decayed. How could there still be a layer of skin left over?"

I looked at the sky and decisively said that since Pan Ying was fine, then I should hurry out of the mountain before it gets dark.

Pan Ying was slightly unwilling, but she did not dare object.

Just as he was about to leave, the sky suddenly resounded with the sound of muffled thunder, followed by a torrential downpour.

Three people and a dog ran to the end of the porch, wiping away the rain on their bodies.

The rain came fast and fast. In just a blink of an eye, the world had turned white. The rain was falling on the run-down houses, making the abandoned house seem even more desolate and dilapidated.

Dou Dabao said: "From the looks of it, the rain won't stop for a while."

Annoyed, I looked around and went into a room.

This was probably the house that the servants used to live in. On one side of the wall, there was a dilapidated wooden bed, and on the other side, there was a collapsed Eight Immortals Table. The windows had long since rotted and scattered, and the rain poured in through the windows.

The mountain was colder than it was outside. The three of them were half wet from the rain, so they all felt a little cold.

I kicked the broken table, picked up a few more bed boards and built a fire. My clothes were dry, so I felt warm.

I sat by the fire, staring out at the rain.

Di Jinlian said she was here to look for the marriage certificate, why did she disappear just like that?

She said that she had forgotten who her husband was. If she couldn't find the marriage contract and couldn't remember his name, she would be scared out of her mind … What is the connection between the two?

Just as he was about to ask Pan Ying a question, he suddenly realised that the scene in the courtyard outside the door had changed.

The knee-deep weeds were all gone, the yard was clean and tidy, and the houses across the way seemed to be restored to their former brightness. At the same time, the rain began to fall.

I was wondering when I saw a man and a woman passing by the door. They looked as if they had just come in from the outside.

The man was tall and wore a moon-white robe. As for the woman, she was actually wearing a dark green robe embroidered with golden flowers!

The two of them walked into the courtyard as if they were whispering to each other.

"Where the hell is it?" The man suddenly raised his voice, his tone clearly filled with anger.

The woman shrugged and said something, but she couldn't hear clearly.

Then, the two of them seemed to start a fight.

Suddenly, the woman let out a hysterical scream and raised her hand as if to grab the man.

The man grabbed her wrist, snarled, and flung her into the corner.

The woman disappeared from the yard with a flick of his arm.

That's not right!

I suddenly realized that the corner was where the water vat was buried. The woman hadn't disappeared, but had instead been thrown into the water vat!

The man crouched down, as if trying to hold something down. I jumped up and shouted, "Stop!"

I was about to rush out when a hand grabbed my wrist.

"Huohuo! Xu Huo calamity! "

I jolted and looked outside the door again. The rain was still pouring down, and everything was white. There was no one in the courtyard.

When I saw Dou Dabao staring at me, and then looking at Pan Ying who was equally shocked, I couldn't help but feel bewildered.

"What's the matter with you?" Dou Dabao released his hand and asked.

"I seem to have seen something." I mumbled uncertainly.

Pan Ying asked: "What did you see?"

I shook my head.

From beginning to end, the man had his back to them, so she didn't see his face.

But from her clothing, hair and body, she was clearly Di Jinlian.

Dou Dabao looked out, and patted my arm. "Are you hysterical? Or are you seeing things? "

I subconsciously shook my head again. I couldn't tell if it was an illusion or a figment of my imagination … Or did he really see something?

I licked my dry lips and muttered: "The skeleton in the water tank, it could be Di Jinlian."

Dou Dabao and Pan Ying both revealed shocked expressions.

"Woof woof woof …"

The meat pine who was napping in the corner suddenly ran to the door and started barking wildly at the door. As it shouted, it shrank back, as if it had seen something horrifying.

Dou Dabao and I looked at each other, then pulled out a burning table leg from the fire. Dou Dabao also took out a pig knife and held it in his hands.

"I'm afraid." Pan Ying approached me and whispered.

Before he could finish his sentence, a bloodied figure quickly ran over from the entrance.

I trembled and wanted to give chase. After a slight hesitation, I grabbed onto Pan Ying and chased after him.

Just as he ran out of the door, he felt a sticky sensation beneath his feet.

As he looked down, he felt goosebumps rising all over his body.

Pan Ying screamed in fear.

The ground at the door was covered with sticky blood. A few steps away, in the pool of blood, lay a large leatherless dog, baring its teeth and staring at us!

"Was it this guy who ran over just now?" Dou Dabao asked while gritting his teeth, "Did I see it running on its two hind legs just now?"

I looked at the leatherless dog and took a deep breath.

"Why are there dead dogs here?" Pan Ying asked with a trembling voice.

Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly felt like someone was secretly watching me.

Following the feeling, he suddenly turned his head, only to find that one side of the eaves was empty. There was nothing there.

Although he did not notice it, the feeling of being watched was still there, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

I hesitated for a moment before saying loudly, "Old Cui, you're back to take shelter from the rain?!"

"Old Cui?" Dou Dabao frowned.

A figure walked out from a room. He had a Daoist warrior's bun in his hair and was dressed in black robes. It was Taoist Cui.

Taoist Cui walked over and looked at me with a smile that wasn't a smile.

Dou Dabao pointed at the dead dog with his pig knife and asked angrily: "What the hell are you doing?!"

Taoist Cui's eyes were also pretty good as he said, "If it wasn't me, then I just came to take shelter from the rain."

I always thought that there was something wrong with this guy. Just now, I was trying to trick him, but I didn't expect him to show up.

I looked him up and down and said lightly:

"Didn't you say that this is a ghost house and you want to save your life to serve this old lady? Why are you back? "

The Taoist Cui shrugged, "It's raining so heavily, where are we going?"

"You're really not up to this?" Dou Dabao asked.

Taoist Cui shook his head, "I really am not."

Perhaps it was because the rain was too loud, but his voice was rather low and hoarse, vague and unclear.

I looked at him again and said to Dou Dabao:

"It seems like I won't be able to return home today. I should take advantage of the break of dawn to take a good look at this mansion to avoid any unexpected incidents tonight."

Dou Dabao glanced at Taoist Cui and nodded.

I carried the meat out of the house, around the dead dog in the pool of blood, and set it on the ground.

Pan Ying asked with lingering fear in her heart, "Why are there dead dogs?"

I said, "Dogs are more spiritual than some people. They feel sad to see their own kind being maimed. "They will lose sensitivity to other smells as they will temporarily lose their nose if they smell the same smell of blood."

"You mean someone did it on purpose so that the meat would not be able to smell it?"

"It might not be a human."

Hearing what I said, Pan Ying could not help but shiver.

I pointed to the fire in the house and asked Taoist Cui, "Are you staying here, or are you coming with us?"

"Since you're here, then take a look around."

I nodded and shot Dou Dabao a meaningful glance before I turned around and walked towards the back of the room.
