Not long after Li You got on the train, the fat man took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the girl in the box. The girl glanced at him, completely indifferent. Seeing this, the fat man said whispered: “Let me tell a horror story to invigorate the atmosphere.” The girl still said nothing. The half-aged boy with her was very interested, and the fat man started talking cheerfully.
A long time ago, a family named He lived in a small mountain village. It is said that Master He once served as a high official in the court, and he resigned from office because of the officialdom.
Master He has a daughter who looks like a pearl in the palm of her hand, whose name is He Ling, who looks like a fairy. Strangely, Miss He never speaks to outsiders. When he was fourteen or five years old, he often sneaked out of the back door to play in the mountains. Some mountain people who gather medicine said that they saw He Ling talking with the birds and beasts in the mountains. The story became more and more mysterious. Finally, the village began to say that He Ling was the goddess of the mountain and reincarnated.
Of course, Master He did not believe these nonsense, but he was worried that his daughter would get lost on the mountain or be harmed by a beast, so he ordered his servants to take care of her. One night, not long after He Ling slipped out, he happened to be spotted by Master He.
Master He followed his daughter up the back mountain. From a distance, he saw her daughter sitting on a rock, petting the cat-shaped animal beside him. Master He is feeling strange that there is such a huge cat in the world? Rubbing his eyes and looking intently, Master He was frightened in a cold sweat, and his daughter was clearly a tiger lying next to him. He Ling whispered several times in the ears of the tiger, the tiger leaped back to the mountain, and looked back two steps, as if he was very dissatisfied with He Ling.
At this time, Master He knew well, what the mountain people said was true, and his daughter is really a fairy. From then on, she no longer ordered anyone to look after her, and let her move freely between the mountains and the woods.
Later, Master He’s rival Jia Tiangui became prime minister. He sent someone to secretly investigate, disguised as a robber during the night, and killed Master He’s family. In order to deceive people, a fire razed the village to the ground. He Ling escaped a catastrophe because of going out, and when she came down from the mountain, seeing the tragic condition of her relatives, she immediately fell to the ground, vomiting blood and died.
After He Ling died, he became a bird, covered in snow white, with a golden halo on his head, specializing in helping medicinal pickers and woodcutters in the mountains. Once they encountered the beast, He Lingbian’s bird appeared in time, whispered to the beast, and the beast left. As a result, it became the sacred bird among the mountain people.

The news that the divine bird appeared in the mountains spread farther and farther, and finally reached Jia Tiangui’s ears. Jia Tiangui wanted to dedicate the sacred bird to the emperor, and brought his family to the village to catch birds.

The fat man deliberately stopped and didn’t go any further. The boy anxiously asked, “Big brother, what happened afterwards?” The fat man glanced at the girl. Said: “Later, The bird swallowed the souls of the Jia family and disappeared in the forest. From now on, this bird will appear once every seventy years to devour the souls of wicked people, so some people call it the Soul Eater. “
“Cut, there is nothing scary!” “The boy murmured. The fat man felt dull when he saw that he couldn’t attract the girl’s eyes, and cried, “Go to sleep. “Then turned off the light and lay down.
The young man seemed to still mutter unwillingly, and the girl suddenly spoke: “Xiao Peng, sister knows the soul eater. The young man leaped for joy, and only heard the young girl say in the dark: “In fact, the soul eater is just one of its names. Because it has swallowed too many ugly souls, every seventy years, it is always burned by the poisonous fire caused by the evil spirit in its heart, die with them, and then reborn in Nirvana. “
“Nirvana is born again!” Sister, I remember you said that only a phoenix can rebirth. “
“Yes, the Phoenix is the Soul Eater.” When it was burned by the poisonous fire caused by the evil spirits, died with the evil spirits, and regenerated from the ashes, it was a phoenix. Go to sleep, I’ll be in Heshan Village tomorrow. “
The dialogue between the siblings surprised Wang Cheng. I don’t know if this is a story of a girl coaxing his younger brother, or whether there is a soul-eater in the world.

The next morning, the girl finished freshening up and took her younger brother to the dining car to have a meal. The fat man stared at the panda and took the opportunity to say to Li You and Wang Cheng: “These siblings are not right! “Wang Cheng hummed: “I think you are wrong.” Tossing about in the upper bunk in the middle of the night, I didn’t sleep well either. “

The fat man ignored Wang Cheng and turned to ask Li You: “When I told the story yesterday, did you mention the place where the story happened?” “
Li You and Wang Cheng shook their heads at the same time.
“The story happened in Heshan Village, which is the destination of our trip. . “The fat man said solemnly. Li You and Wang Chengdu felt that the fat man was too sensitive. The next evening, the train stopped in the ancient city of Gannan. Because the destination was the same, the three of them set foot on Heshan Village with the siblings. The road.
Heshan Village has been deserted for a long time, and even the road into the mountain is submerged in half-person-high weeds. Although Li You and Wang Cheng are also old friends, they are here. In the ecological mountains and forests, the direction has long been indistinguishable. Only the fat man was familiar with the road and walked straight ahead.
Before the sun set, everyone finally arrived at Heshan Village. Walk at the end. Li You patted Wang Cheng and whispered: “It’s weird here. “Wang Cheng looked suspiciously in the direction of Li You’s fingers, and saw that there was no weed in the road under his feet, which was very different from the road that was covered with half-person tall weeds just now.
“It’s a little weird, it seems I want to remind the fat man. “Wang Cheng walked two steps quickly, ready to call the fat man, and as soon as he approached, the fat man looked ahead and saidThere was a scream of “Ah” inside, and his tone was full of fear. Wang Cheng followed his gaze, and a huge building appeared in front of him in the twilight. The wooden tall buildings with carved beams and paintings seem to be printed and dyed from traditional Chinese paintings.
“What’s wrong with Fatty?” Li You heard the voice and looked back. Fatty’s eyes were dyed blood red like the setting sun in the twilight. At this time, no one noticed, the girl took Xiaopeng’s hand into the entrance of the wall and disappeared into the darkness.
“Fatty, are you hiding something from us?” Wang Cheng asked suspiciously. Fatty’s tongue was a little knotted, and he said intermittently, “I… I thought it was just An ancient horror legend, I didn’t expect…”
The fat man first heard that Soul Eater and Heshan Village were chatting online. He copied the horror stories he saw on a travel forum to himself, and told a female traveler alive about his adventure experience. He thought that his bragging would increase his goodwill, and this gave him his wish to pick up girls. Unexpectedly, the development of the matter greatly exceeded my expectations.
The female donkey disappeared from QQ and only reappeared a month later. The fat man asked her where she was. She said she went to find Heshan Village and Soul Eater, and she found To that place.
Wang Cheng snorted: “So, you come here, by the way, trick us into helping you clear the mines!” Li You interrupted his complaint: “Forget it, the fat guy also wants to bring Let’s explore together, so stop complaining.”
The fat man’s voice suddenly became weird: “But when I got here, I found out…this is completely different from what she said. She Tell me Heshan Village has long been burned to the ground by a fire hundreds of years ago, but this…” He pointed to the ancient building in front of him with a blank and scared expression.
