Chapter 35: Ghosts are watching the show, so don’t disturb them

Zhang Hong led Zhang Hui, Zhang Mengmeng, and Zhang Ran to the cemetery.

When they left, they all looked back at Zhang Ming. They were actually a little scared, but they didn’t want to admit defeat for the sake of face.

The reason they looked at Zhang Ming was that they wanted Zhang Ming to go with them, so that there would be more people and more sense of security.

As for Zhang Hong, he laughed at Zhang Ming and thought that Zhang Ming was cowardly.

But Zhang Ming really didn’t go. He stood there with his arms folded, looking nonchalant, not feeling scared at all.

Zhang Hong led the three people and was already very close to the cemetery.

In their opinion, there was no figure in the cemetery, but it was filled with fog, gloomy, and a little scary.

The cemetery was not very big, and there must be dozens of graves.

Of course, because it was a mass grave, some of the dead had no graves at all and were buried directly in the ground.

Some were placed in coffins that were not buried.

Some were even worse, rolled up in straw mats and thrown here.

So, if they were asked to actually go to the cemetery, they would definitely not dare to do so. At most, they would just walk around the perimeter of the cemetery.

"Actually, there are no ghosts at all. It's just that the hot days have started to turn cooler in the past few days. Autumn has arrived, and the temperature difference between day and night is big, so it's foggy and chilly.

Then the old people in the village don't know anything, so they attribute this strange weather to some ghosts.

They also say that the thunder that struck the peach tree during the drought a few days ago was due to ghosts. Let's take a walk around here today, and then it will be proved that there are no ghosts at all."

Zhang Hong was actually afraid, so he said all this, which was also a way to comfort himself.

After he finished speaking, he still thought about insulting Zhang Ming: "Zhang Ming has been timid since he was young. Let's see how he can stand up after we go back this time."

Zhang Hui and the two girls agreed with the previous words, but when Zhang Hong insulted Zhang Ming later, the three of them just curled their lips.

But no one said anything, after all, Zhang Hong has been very domineering since he was a child. Besides, Zhang Hong is the most courageous here, and we have to rely on him.

However, after Zhang Hong finished speaking, he suddenly found that something was wrong here.

What was wrong? When he turned his head to look at the cemetery again, he found that countless figures had stood in the cemetery at some point.

These figures were gathered together, and each of them was wearing a variety of clothes.

Without exception, none of them were modern clothes, and the closest ones were from the 1940s and 1950s.

Zhang Hong and his three companions were stunned when they saw this scene.

This was not just terrifying, but terrifying to an unbelievable degree.

The cemetery was empty just now, how come it was crowded with people all of a sudden? In other words, are they human?

And at this time, they also heard a babbling sound.

Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a stage in the middle of the place where these figures were surrounded. At this moment, the ghosts seemed to be listening to a play around the stage.

Zhang Hong and his three companions were so scared that they didn't dare to worry about whether they were human or ghosts at this time. They just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Let's go... back..." Zhang Hong said, and he and the other three turned around in a hurry.

But when they turned around, they suddenly saw six or seven figures standing behind them.

These figures had no expression on their faces. Under the moonlight, their faces were very pale, and their eyes seemed lifeless, giving people an inexplicable sense of fear.

At that time, Zhang Hong and the other four were so scared that their legs and stomachs were shaking. They couldn't move at all, let alone run.

These figures didn't raise their heads, but they all lowered their heads slightly, but they seemed to be looking at Zhang Hong and the other four.

One of the figures, who was wearing Qing Dynasty clothes, made a slightly gloomy voice and said:

"Where are you going!"

Hearing this cold voice, the four couldn't help but shiver again.

Then, Zhang Hong thought that he couldn't lose face, so he bravely said: "Let's... go... home..."

"Go home? Don't be in a hurry~ There's a play here~ Let's listen to it before we leave~"

The figure said faintly, as if with a tone of refusal.

Zhang Hong wanted to cry after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "No... I don't want to listen... My mother... is waiting for me to go home... to eat... to eat..."

"I said~ Let's go to listen to the play~ Did you hear~~"

The figure slowly raised his head, revealing a pale face and a pair of completely white eyes, which was very scary.

Seeing this, Zhang Hong and the other four were so scared that they were shaking all over. Then they saw several other figures approaching, and Zhang Hong and the other four could only retreat. In the end, they had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the stage trembling.

As the four of them approached, some ghosts surrounding the stage made way.

However, they did not move, and just made way quietly.

This scene made Zhang Hong and the other four understand thoroughly that they had really encountered a ghost.

At this moment, they all regretted it, especially Zhang Hong, who kept cursing himself in his heart, asking why he had come here to explore?

The four of them were forced by several ghosts to approach the stage.

Only then did they realize that these ghosts watching the show were not all standing. There were five armchairs in the front row, and at this moment, five ghosts wearing clothes from different eras were sitting there.

The ghost in the middle was wearing a general's armor, which was very imposing.

There were two sitting ghosts on the left and right, some wearing ancient official uniforms, some wearing military uniforms from the Republic of China, and some wearing long robes.

It was obvious that the identities of the five sitting ghosts were not ordinary, and the other ghosts only dared to stand behind them and watch the show.

On the simple wooden stage, there were two figures wearing costumes, singing tunes in a humming voice, but without words.

After Zhang Hong and his four companions came over, the ghosts motioned them to stand and watch the show.

But at this moment, the four of them were really scared, because they knew that there might be ghosts all around them. Not to mention watching this boring show, they didn't even have the heart to watch a movie.

At this moment, not far from the cemetery, Zhang Ming, who was lying on the grass, said with a helpless smile on his face:

"It feels good now, being taken to watch a show by ghosts. I wonder if you dare to provoke these things for no reason in the future."

Although Zhang Ming would not watch them die with his own eyes, especially since his childhood friend was among them.

But he was not in a hurry to save them. He was happy to see them suffer, especially Zhang Hong.

"As the saying goes, when ghosts are performing, people should not watch; when ghosts are watching, people should not show up. This is a taboo between humans and ghosts. Once this taboo is violated, the ghost will not give up easily."

Zhang Ming muttered to himself, frowning, thinking about how to save them.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ming felt that he could use his spirit to solve this problem.

This kind of scene is not for strangers to approach, after all, there are too many ghosts here, at least sixty at a glance.

Even though he has made some progress in his Taoist skills, he still doesn't dare to fight so many ghosts at once, not to mention saving four people.

But the spirits are different, they are also ghosts, so these ghosts will definitely not embarrass him, right?
