Chapter 56 Huaihua Machinery Factory 14
The sun rises later and later in winter. Cheng Yan kissed Xing Jian on the forehead. It was still dark when he left home. After Cheng Yan left, Xing Jian opened his eyes and got out of bed.
Every time Cheng Yan went out, he would lock the door tightly, but the low courtyard wall could not stop Xing Jian from leaving.
With a flip, Xingjian easily climbed over the wall and walked out.
Cheng Yan's house is not on a busy street and there are few residents nearby. Xing Jian wandered alone on the street hoping to meet someone, but there was no one in sight on the empty street.
Xingjian felt like he had been walking for a long time. Before the sun rose, his calves were already feeling slightly swollen, as if the space nearby was completely still.
Star Jian ran out as hard as he could, looking at the hazy night. He didn't know how long he had been running before the sky gradually brightened. There were people selling breakfast on the street. Seeing Xing Jian suddenly appear and sweating profusely, the bun seller joked, "Young man, you're going for a morning run. You can't run so fast in a morning run."
Xing Jian nodded and looked back at the road he had just run from, but found that there was no road at all where he came from. There was only a large area of gloomy locust trees. The leaves of the locust trees had fallen in winter, and the messy branches stretched towards the sky like tentacles.
Xing Jian pulled out a crumpled banknote from his trouser pocket and handed it to the uncle he had just spoken to, "Uncle, I want two meat buns."
"Okay." The uncle put the money into his pocket with a smile, took out two plump white buns from the steaming bun basket, put them into a plastic bag, and stuffed it into Xingjian's hand.
Xing Jian took the bun and did not leave. He ate the big bun in his hand and asked, "Uncle, where is this locust tree forest? It looks eerie."
As soon as the question came out of his mouth, the uncle selling buns changed his expression and said, "Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked by children."
Seeing the sudden change in Baozi's expression, Xingjian's heart skipped a beat and he didn't ask any further questions.
"Kid, what do you want to know? I can tell you." A slightly old voice came from behind Xingjian. He turned around and saw an old man with gray hair and tattered clothes talking to him.
"Is that true, old man?" Xing Jian did not doubt the old man in front of him. Customers who were buying buns surrounded him and pushed Xing Jian aside.
On the bustling street, only Xing Jian and the old man stood alone in the middle of the street. "Give me the bun in your hand, and I will tell you what is in this locust tree forest."
Xing Jian hurriedly put the remaining buns in the plastic bag into the old man's hand, and then followed the old man out of the bustling breakfast street.
Along the way, the old man finished the bun in his hand and said nothing. Xing Jian, who was following behind him, watched the old man's originally hunched body gradually stand up straight, and his gray hair gradually become smooth. After walking for a few days, the white-haired old man turned into a young man with white shoulder-length hair in front of him.
They walked all the way to a bridge hole, where the mysterious young man stopped and turned around. Xingjian didn't show any strange behavior.
"Kid, you are quite brave. Aren't you afraid?" The young man suddenly approached Xingjian. Xingjian had to step back a few steps to keep a distance from the man. It was not because Xingjian was afraid, but because he was afraid that the overly strong fragrance on the man would stick to his body.
If the jealous person at home knew that I had sneaked out and had been contaminated by the scent of other people, he would definitely go crazy.
"Master Luo, why did you bring other people here?" A familiar figure walked out from the bridge arch in front. That person was Li Weiguo, who had fired him that day.
After seeing who Master Luo brought with him, Li Weiguo was also surprised and blurted out: "Didn't you go back to the village? Why are you here?"
Xingjian tilted his head, and Master Luo seemed to have figured out what had happened.
"Hahaha, it seems that this evil ghost is becoming more and more interesting." Master Luo suddenly laughed out loud and walked towards the bridge hole next to Li Weiguo.
Xingjian followed Master Luo into the bridge hole, but as soon as he stepped into the bridge hole, Master Luo put a copper coin sword to his throat.
The man who was originally smiling and laughing turned serious and asked sternly, "What is your relationship with that evil ghost? Why do you have such a strong ghost aura?"
Li Weiguo, who had already extended his hand to persuade Master Luo, silently withdrew his hand after hearing this. He looked up and down at the suddenly appeared Star Sword, frowned, and said, "Are you still living with him now?"
Xing Jian nodded, and Master Luo added, "That's not just ordinary living together." He circled around Xing Jian and said, "Look at him, he's got this devilish aura. I wonder how many times he's had sex with a woman."
Master Luo's words were so shocking that Li Weiguo almost dropped his jaw. He knew that Xingjian and Cheng Yan had a good relationship, but he never thought that their relationship was this good. He pointed at Xingjian and called him "you, you, you" for a long time without saying a complete sentence.
"You mean Cheng Yan is an evil ghost? But he is clearly a human being." Xing Jian caught up with Master Na Luo's words and continued.
Master Luo put away the copper coin sword in his hand and shook his head. "You've been possessed by a demon. He's just blinded your mind. He's been trapped in this locust tree for a hundred years, and he's tampered with almost everyone's memory. The Cheng couple who hanged themselves under the tree didn't have a son at all, only a daughter, Cheng Xiaoya."
Master Luo's words were like a thunderbolt that struck Xingjian's heart. A hundred-year-old evil ghost?
This kind of evil ghost created by heaven and earth has almost no emotions. Master Luo was very surprised when he looked at this "evil ghost lover" in front of him. Although Cheng Yan was evil, his feelings for Xing Jian were real.
From Master Luo and Li Weiguo, Xing Jian learned that Cheng Yan had set up a ghost formation in the Huaihua Machinery Factory, waiting for an opportunity to detonate it, sacrificing everyone in the factory and burning the big locust tree that gave birth to him, so that he could become a ghost king of a certain realm.
What's strange is that Master Luo discovered that the ghost formation had been set up in the summer of this year, but it had not been detonated. The only change in the summer of this year was the arrival of Star Sword in the factory.
Did the evil ghost change its strategy because this guy in front of him entered the factory?
Because of Xingjian's departure, the plan to detonate the machinery factory was once again revealed.
"Kid, let's work together to get rid of that guy." Master Luo extended his hand to Xingjian.
"What do you need me to do?" Xingjian's brain was working rapidly. The best way he could think of was to cooperate with the guy in front of him. Xingjian held the hand that was extended to him.
Seeing the child in front of him fall for his trick, Master Luo smiled and said, "You don't need to do anything, just lead him here."
