The sun rose as usual, and the people of Shiqiao Town started a new day, and everyone didn't know what happened in the town at night, but they felt that the sun was especially good today, and the air was getting fresher and fresher.

Maybe it's because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, the son of the Xiao family, a big family in the town, is going to get married today, and many people are busy, some send food, some send meat, and some send wine. In the evening, the Xiao family was going to hold a big banquet, and I heard that the troupe was also invited from Dacheng, in this era of chaos and lack of entertainment, it is rare for the people of Shiqiao Town, who are in a corner of the country, to catch up with such a good thing.

After spending most of the night with a few people, Chen Yao only took a nap for more than an hour after returning home, and came out to dine with his family as if nothing happened.

Master Chen stared at his daughter, afraid that yesterday was only temporary. Looking at Chen Yao, who was slowly eating breakfast, he was finally convinced that his daughter was back.

Master Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yao'er, are you feeling better?" There is a happy event for the Xiao family tonight, let's go together as a family." He couldn't wait to tell everyone that his daughter was okay, she wasn't crazy!

But where did Chen Yao have that effort, in the town that was cleaned up last night, today everyone made an appointment to go to the mountain to eliminate all hidden dangers. Moreover, although Chen Yao was focused on rescuing the town, he still had some emotional entanglements with Xiao Ziyuan and Su Fang before, and watching them achieve good things, how could Chen Yao's heart be undisturbed.

Chen Yao sighed: "Dad, I don't want to go, you go to Xiao's house." I want to go to the temple of the goddess to make a vow and thank the goddess for her rescue. ”

Master Chen, who wanted to persuade again, suddenly remembered a little connection between his daughter and the newcomer, if it weren't for this incident, today's sedan chair may have gone out from Chen's house, pulling his daughter over, don't stimulate her again when she turns around, the madness that was finally cured has recurred, then it really doesn't outweigh the loss, Master Chen nodded and said: "Okay, if you don't want to go, forget it, you should go to the temple of the goddess to make a wish, bring more Xie Yi, this time thanks to Ah Shou and Ah Hai's friends, well, prepare a copy for the two masters." ”

"Got it, Dad. Chen Yao hurriedly agreed.

After breakfast, Chen Yao changed into a plain skirt and left through the back door with a light veil. After all, she is still a crazy woman who 'everyone shouts and beats', and she still has to avoid the crowd when she goes to the temple of the goddess.

Today was supposed to make an appointment to go up the mountain together, but the two brothers of the temple of the goddess couldn't leave easily. The Xiao family is a big family in the town, and the family has to come to the temple to pray for blessings before welcoming relatives, and the two brothers have to entertain them first.

Ziyun and Zhuge Leng arrived early in the morning, silently watching behind the lively crowd, and the masked Chen Yao also spotted them, and the three of them stood together and waited quietly for the Xiao family's ceremony to end.

Under the leadership of the elders, the groom worshiped the temple, and then distributed wedding cakes and red envelopes to the surrounding villages.

Chen Yao said silently: "Brother Ziyuan and Su Fang can be together...... That's nice. Until now, she still has feelings for the high-spirited groom in front of her, and the bride has been a friend for many years, maybe this is the best. Today's Chen Yao has long felt that she is not a normal person, perhaps she should be called a woman who is not a human or a ghost, so how can she go back to the past......

Ziyun was deaf and clear-sighted, so he naturally heard Chen Yao's regretful voice, but he didn't know whether to persuade or not, and finally could only say: "Actually, Miss Su has always had a deep apology for you. ”

Chen Yao nodded: "I know, every time she stands up for me and blocks other people's abuse for me, I have never blamed her, or rather, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't know what would happen to Shiqiao Town, maybe these are all destined by God, give them a chance to come together, give me a chance to save here." ”

Ziyun was silent, he didn't expect Chen Yao to be so open, then again, if everything didn't happen as Chen Yao said, when the crisis on the mountain was out of control, even if the seventh uncle in the town was still there, he might not be able to deal with it. Maybe it's really predestined.

Sent away the team to welcome relatives, the villagers also dispersed, some followed the team to coax the lively, some went directly to Xiao's house to prepare a feast, the three of them slowly walked into the temple of the goddess, Ah Shou and Ah Hai, who were still presiding over the ceremony just now, also packed up their things, set up a sign of 'today's thanks' outside the temple of the goddess, and then closed the door. The folks who haven't left yet don't care. Today is an auspicious day chosen by the Xiao family, and ordinary people will not come to the temple at this time, maybe the two brothers are also preparing to go to the banquet together.

But what they didn't know was that several people in the temple of the goddess were ready for battle, because Chen Yao himself did not know martial arts and Taoism, and naturally he did not have the corresponding equipment, so he just tried to wear it as easy as possible, while the other few people opened their eyes and drew talismans, and the two brothers were still wearing apricot yellow robes, and took out the sky lanterns and other tools that had been prepared.

It was daylight now, and there were more people in the town, so they decided to go to the bottom of the mountain first to put out the sky lanterns, so as not to be noticed by the villagers.

Ah Shou took out a short knife with lines painted on it with cinnabar: "Miss Chen, this knife also has the effect of killing evil spirits, you don't have to hurt yourself." ”

Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, since she knew that her blood could restrain spiritual objects, she had always given herself a knife before removing the spirit, so that now there were many intertwined scars on her palm, but she didn't expect Ah Shou to help her think of it. Chen Yao didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only put it into one sentence: "Thank you." ”

......

The group came to the bottom of the mountain, thanks to the blessing of the town to do a happy event, there is no one in front of the mountain today. The mountain is neither too big nor too small, people have a lot of activities in front of the mountain, and there are many places in the mountain that have been exploited by people, and there is a solid dirt road for travelers to come and go. However, outside of these places, there are also many inaccessible deep mountains and old forests, except for a few experienced hunters, other woodcutters who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and people who pick mountain goods will not set foot on them.

I usually can't see it, but when I open my eyes, I find that the entire mountain is wrapped in a layer of pale yellow halo, and this halo has been riddled with holes, and from time to time there are spirits flying out of it.

Ah Shou was surprised: "What is this? How can this be?"

After all, Ziyun is Lin Yue's disciple, and he also has some insight: "This should be some kind of magic circle, not for the living, but for the soul." ”

Chen Yao nodded and said: "Things are really not simple, if you don't cut off the source, I'm afraid that Shiqiao Town will never have peace in the future." ”

Ah Hai was more impulsive, and immediately said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's hurry up the mountain." ”

When there was no one left and right, Ah Shou began to do the trick, they took out a hair from the master's room, and then wrapped it in a yellow talisman, Ah Hai went to light a sky lantern full of runes, and Ah Shou took out a long red thread, tied one end to the folded yellow talisman, and the other end was tied under the sky lantern, and then held the sky lantern with a thin rope, so that he would not fly away.

When it was ready, the sky lantern slowly floated up, and because it was held by a thin rope, it only maintained a certain height, and when the hanging rune paper was pointed in one direction, the whole red line was straightened like a pointer.

Ah Shou said: "Follow the sky lantern, he will show us the way to find my master." ”

Several people immediately followed, although finding the seventh uncle may not be the same as finding the source, but it is also a clue.

Gradually, a few people deviated from the main path and headed deeper into the forest, where the spirits of many animals floated in the forest, and they seemed to want to do something to the group, but they were too weak to fly around. Since there was no threat, several people stopped paying attention to them.

At this time, Ah Shou exclaimed: "Third Uncle Liu!?"

"Who?" Ziyun also saw it, it was a humanoid void soul, floating quietly with an expressionless face.

Ah Hai said: "It's Uncle Liu, a carpenter in the town, who died in the mountains a few months ago......."

Ziyun nodded, he had also heard about this, about seven or eight months ago, there was a sudden heavy rain in the mountains and forests, because there was something urgent to do, a townsman braved the rain to rush the night, but his feet slipped and fell into the pit, and he fainted face down, the rain was very strong that night, he was drowned by the water, I think it was this Uncle Liu.

And three months ago, some townspeople who were walking on the mountain road at night saw his ghost, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly ran down the mountain. It's just that later I also organized people to go up the mountain to check, and I didn't find anything abnormal.

Ah Shou said: "At that time, I didn't find anything in the place where Uncle Liu had an accident, but I didn't expect him to float here...... "In fact, if it weren't for Ziyun's charm, just relying on the two small temple blessings that had not yet left the school, I wouldn't be able to see this soul."

Ah Hai also said: "I didn't expect it to be true. ”

The two of them and Chen Yao stepped forward to bow, after all, they were the elders of the town, and the ghost didn't seem to have any intelligence, and it was still floating expressionlessly.

Ah Shou said: "Uncle Liu is here for a while, we will definitely let you out." ”

How unfortunate it is for a soul to be unable to go to reincarnation and can only wander in the mountains, Ziyun said in a deep voice: "It seems that this halo can fix all the living souls who died in the mountains here. ”

Chen Yao said hatefully: "What kind of person is doing such a conscientious thing." As she spoke, her head hurt violently, and she had to cry out.

Ah Shou and Ziyun hurriedly asked, "Miss Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Yao shook his head and said, "I'm fine, somehow, there was a sharp pain just now, let's go quickly, it's important to deal with business." Seeing this, a few people could only advance to the depths of the mountains and forests first.

After walking for half a day, they simply ate something, and a few people continued to search, and along the way, they had seen many broken trees and other traces of battle.

"Look, what is this?" Several people stepped forward and saw a white ossified corpse lying on his stomach, and as he walked forward, more and more white bones came, more or less scarred, and some of them were already shattered.

Ziyun said: "It seems that there was really a fierce battle here a year ago. ”

Zhuge Leng, who had never spoken, suddenly asked, "Didn't you organize people to go up the mountain to investigate? How could you not find these dead people?" ”

Ah Shou explained: "Actually, even the people in the town have not really gone deep into this mountain, at that time the master and the villagers were almost in front of it, but they saw a mess and two corpses, the two people have been buried by the sand and trees, everyone only thinks that they are unlucky people who passed by during the earthquake, so they were buried on the spot, the master wanted to take a closer look, everyone confirmed that there was no need and was afraid of any more trouble. ”

Ziyun shook his head and said, "If you had made up your mind earlier, it wouldn't be like this now." Let's go, I think it's almost there. "As the number of bones increased, several people understood that they were getting closer and closer to the truth.
