Volume 3 Chapter 19: Haunted House (Part 1)
After the ghost monkey's soul was burned, I carried the girl on my back and we all walked out of the canyon. Fortunately, the guide never appeared again after we saw him, and we climbed back to the hill smoothly. It was already two o'clock in the morning and the rain had stopped.
After a short rest on the hill, I returned to Charm Hotel safely at 4 o'clock. When I entered the door, I found that the four characters with lights on the door were mostly off, which looked weird. The "未" on the right of the character "魅" was off, leaving only the character "鬼", and the "力" and "宾" were also off. Damn, "鬼馆"!
The lights in the lobby were dim and eerie. The lobby manager and two waitresses were awake and standing at the counter. When they saw us coming back, they smiled at the same time. Their smiles were a little stiff, and then they lowered their heads and did something else. After going upstairs, I was very puzzled. They didn't show any surprise when we came back so late, and they didn't ask about the girl. It didn't make sense.
On the way back, Wang Zijun told him in detail about the girl waking up and chasing him. After we left, the hotel said that the people who were supposed to carry the girl down the mountain had not come yet. Wang Zijun urged them several times, but they kept saying that they would be there soon. However, at 11 o'clock at night, they still hadn't come. We didn't come back, and Wang Zijun couldn't get through to him on the phone. He was so anxious that he was circling around the room like an ant on a hot pot. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. He thought it was the people who were supposed to carry the girl down the mountain. But when he opened the door, he saw that it was the girl, and she had woken up.
Before he could even ask, the girl rushed in and pushed him to the ground with a ferocious expression. Wang Zijun was still strong, and after struggling for a few times, he finally escaped from under the girl. He was so scared that he ran out of the hotel with his head in his hands. The two of them ran back along the same path they came from, chasing each other.
Although he was a novice in Taoism, he also realized that the girl was possessed. Finally, all the basic Taoism he learned from me was not in vain. He recited all the spells he could remember in a hurry, which shocked the girl. She didn't dare to get too close to him, so he managed to stay in the canyon.
The four of us gathered in the girl's room, and seeing that she was still unconscious, no one wanted to sleep. I burned three more talismans and asked Qu Mo to force her to drink them. After about ten minutes, she finally woke up!
This made us feel relieved. Shen Bing asked her what happened when she entered the mountain and where her boyfriend was.
The girl stared at us for a long time, not knowing where she was. Fortunately, she still had some impression of me and Shen Bing, after all, we sat opposite each other for several hours when we came. Later, she thought hard before talking about her and her boyfriend.
Her name is Wang Yang, and her boyfriend is Chen Ming. They are from the north and went to Huangshan to fulfill a wish. She didn't say what the wish was, but judging by her expression, it must have something to do with the two of them finally getting married. After they got off the car in Huangshan City and had dinner, she didn't know why she was very eager to go to Huangshan immediately. Chen Ming strongly opposed it, but he couldn't persuade her. The two rented a taxi and arrived at the scenic spot after midnight.
However, the opening hours of Huangshan Mountain are from 6 am to 6 pm. Like us, we could not enter the mountain. We also met a guide and entered the mountain from a small trail. But it started to rain soon after entering the mountain. The two of us fell several times while climbing the mountain, and the flashlight was lost in the valley. We could only climb forward in the dark.
Later, they entered a canyon. When they were halfway there, they suddenly heard a strange and eerie laugh. She was startled and became confused and could not remember anything. When she opened her eyes, she saw the four of us at this moment. She could not remember what had happened before.
I couldn't help but frown, thinking that what happened to her was not just a ghost covering her eyes or an evil spirit bewitching her eyes, but a ghost monkey possessed her. When she got off the train, she already had a fierce look on her face, so it was hard to say whether it was the ghost monkey that possessed her at that time, but judging from her desire to enter the scenic spot at night, she was indeed seduced by the evil spirit.
The guide who led them into the mountain should be the same one who led us. The road he chose just happened to go over a hill and down to a canyon. In a cave high up on the canyon wall was a stone tomb of the Wushan God. This was where tourists would get into trouble. We had yellow talismans on our bodies but were blinded, which showed that there was definitely something wrong with the stone tomb.
Not to mention the guide, he was throwing stones down from the top of the mountain to kill us. He has an inseparable connection with the ghost monkey and the stone tomb. It is possible that he is the one behind all this!
I thought for a while, then looked up and saw Shen Bing, Wang Zijun and Qu Mo all looking at me, all expecting an answer.
"Have you been to Huangshan before?" I asked Wang Yang.
Wang Yang was about to answer when someone knocked on the door. Everyone was startled. It was almost five o'clock. Who would knock on Wang Yang's door at this time? Wang Zijun rolled his eyes in fear and didn't dare to move . Qu Mo and Shen Bing also looked at me, waiting for me to speak. I stood up and asked, "Who?" Then I walked to the door.
"We are the porters hired by the hotel. Isn't there a girl who needs to be taken to the hospital?" a man's voice said outside.
Damn it, they came at such a late hour that they delayed the patient for more than ten hours. If it was an emergency, the patient would have died long ago. I said angrily, "No need, the patient is already well."
"Oh, okay. If you need any help, just call us." The man said and left.
I suddenly had a sense of foreboding, and I couldn't explain it. I opened the door and looked out, and saw two figures walking towards the stairs. The back of the person on the left was very familiar, and I recognized !
"Come back, I need your help with something!" I waved and shouted at them.
The two men stopped at the same time. The one on the left didn't look back, but the one on the right turned around and said with a smile: "Sir, how can I help you?" This man had a dark face and a simple expression, and looked like a genuine mountain man.
"I found the body of my friend in the mountains. Please help carry it down." I stared at the two of them coldly.
The man's face turned pale immediately when he heard this, but then he said with a forced smile: "Sir, we don't do the business of carrying dead bodies. Please ask the hotel to find someone else." After saying that, he turned around hurriedly, pulled the person next to him, and hurriedly ran down the stairs.
Damn it, people like them who do manual labor, what else can they not do? Carrying dead bodies will get a higher price. If they don't do such a good job, it's clear that they are not in this line of work! I stared at the place where their figures disappeared, thinking to myself that I must get to the bottom of this matter. The ghosts and evil spirits must be destroyed, and the evil people must be eradicated as well. I don't believe that I can't catch your little tails!
When I returned to the room, I was shocked. The four people in the room disappeared at the same time, not a single one was left!
Oh my god, where are the people?
