Chapter 62: Liu Po's Memories
After the Yin corpse worm was removed, my vision became blurry, and I could no longer distinguish between yin and yang as before, but fortunately, my life was saved.
We returned to the fishing village, the last rays of the sunset disappeared at sea level, the night was quietly falling, the sky was becoming gray, we stayed in a fisherman's grass hut, the hospitable fisherman named Mingqiu, a middle-aged woman in the fishing village, who was preparing a delicious dinner for us.
"I heard that there are guests in the village, so I'll take a look. ”
A white-haired, plainly dressed old woman walked towards us with a hunched waist and a three-inch golden lotus.
After hearing the old woman's voice, everyone hurriedly greeted her, and after a simple chat, she learned that the old woman was the goddess of the fishing village, and she helped people to see the evil spirits in the yin house on weekdays, which was somewhat similar to my grandfather.
"Granny Liu, let's be honest, the purpose of our trip is to find the mirage at the top of the East China Sea, mother-in-law, do you know where this place is?" I didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to explore the way, so I went straight to the main body.
"Who did you hear say that there is a mirage in the East China Sea?" said my mother-in-law, looking at me with a wrinkled face.
"Oh, I also learned about it by accident. "I can't just tell her that I'm here to find the Nether Blood Bead.
"I've lived in the village for decades and I've never heard of any mirage, I don't know, I don't know. ”
I responded with some disappointment: "Thank you, Mrs. Liu, we will inquire elsewhere." ”
"Are you really here for the mirage?"
When I was disappointed, Liu Po asked again, but her tone had betrayed her, and the implication was that she knew about the mirage, but why did she pretend not to know?
"But •••••••" Liu Po said without saying anything, and everyone looked at her expectantly.
But what? You old woman is so rambling that you're dying. Yiyi saw that Lu Zhiqi's words were impolite, and gently pulled the corner of his clothes.
Liu Po pondered for a moment and said to everyone: "That happened more than 20 years ago, on a stormy night, the village chief Yuri knew that my husband and wife knew some yin and yang Taoism and came to my house, saying that his son Youke had gone out to sea to fish for a month and had not returned, and recently he often dreamed that his son was trapped on a desert island, the island was shrouded in dark clouds, yin and evil gathered, and the spirits of all kinds of birds, beasts, fish and souls wandered around the island, and even the village chief's son told the village chief the route map to the desert island in a dream.
"Hey, it's just a dream! There are strong winds and waves in the sea, maybe the village chief's son has already drowned. Lu Zhiqi said disdainfully, everyone shook their heads and winked at Lu Zhiqi when they saw Lu Zhiqi interjecting, and Lu Zhiqi also felt as if it was rude to interrupt the old man's words at this time, so he shrugged his shoulders and didn't make a sound.
"Haha, my husband and I thought the same way at first, but when the village chief showed me the road map, we realized that things were far from simple. The old woman smiled at Lu Zhiqi and responded.
"Lady Liu, don't pay attention to this talk, keep talking, let's listen. Zhu Keke on the side was very interested in Liu Po's story, and she couldn't wait to finish the story.
Liu Po pouted her toothless mouth for a moment and continued: "When my husband and I took the map in the hands of the village chief, we were surprised to find that the road map on the sea drawn by the village chief according to the dream was in a yin and yang layout.
"The universe is reversed, yin and yang are retrograde!"
Zhu Keke covered his wide open mouth and repeated in horror.
"Actually, when you came to the village today, I found that you are not ordinary tourists, and this is why I came to you today. ”
When the old woman saw Zhu Keke's frightened look, she understood more definitely that we knew the meaning of the reversal of the universe and the retrograde of yin and yang, and it also proved that we are practitioners of Taoism.
"The universe is reversed, yin and yang are retrograde, indicating that there are Taoist masters or yin spirits who have changed the layout of the region, if I guess correctly, something unusual and important should have happened in the fishing village later. I took Zhu Keke's words and spoke.
Po Liu shook her head and denied my claim.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Liu, you continue. "I feel a little regret for interrupting Po Liu's words.
"Although my husband is a fisherman, but with a righteous heart, he is worried that the fishermen in the village will be harmed by evil spirits, we husband and wife set off overnight according to the road map drawn by the village chief to the desert island, after the wind and rain in the middle of the night, we really found this deserted island in the East China Sea, you must know that the villagers of the fishing village have been fishing for a living for generations, and they have long been familiar with the distribution of islands in the East China Sea, and this desert island is simply a fierce island that appeared for no reason. Liu Po said with a mysterious look on her face.
Hearing this, I was shocked, because it was already great to be able to turn my back on the natural laws of the yang world, so that the Qiankun reversed the yin and yang retrograde, but it also turned the retrograde island into a fierce island, this possibility is almost zero, and is there really such a person in the world who changes his life against the sky? But if there is no such person in the world, then how can Liu Po's words be explained? Because my intuition tells me that Liu Po's words are not groundless.
"Mrs. Liu, don't be in a hurry to speak slowly. ”
Yiyi saw that Liu Po's mood fluctuated a little, and smiled to ease Liu Po's emotions.
"My husband and I knew that the desert island was full of evil and was afraid of danger, but we still didn't hesitate and insisted on landing on the island. After going to the island, the first thing we found was that he was dug up of his internal organs, and the death was miserable, and her husband used the soul of Yu Keshu to summon back the soul of Youkeshu, and after asking Youkeshu, he learned that the desert island was moved by a person with a high degree of Taoism, and cast a spell to change the geographical layout here, so that the Qiankun reversed the yin and yang retrograde, and the wandering ghosts and wild ghosts that were originally scattered all over the East China Sea gathered here, originally I thought it was a good thing to know the origin of this island from the soul of Youkeshu, but my husband didn't think so. ”
Liu Po preached, and once again fell into deep memories.
"Po Liu, if the junior didn't guess wrong, You Keshu's corpse and soul were deliberately stranded on a desert island, so that he could tell you all this, in fact, it is more than that, even the dream of the village chief is also the work of the Taoist priest who moved the mountain, right?" I couldn't help but speak.
"That's true, you're smart, young man. "Po Liu praised me.
After Liu Po praised me, she continued to speak: "After You Keshu told us the truth, he was instantly shattered by a golden spell that fell from the sky, and he ended up scattered. Immediately afterwards, a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe and holding a golden sword slowly fell, and his intuition told us that the reason why the reversal of yin and yang and retrograde things happened must be the evil path in front of him, and he wanted to ask him what his intention was to do so, but he didn't give us a chance to speak, the evil way mana was unfathomable, and he took my husband's life within one move, and hooked his soul.
"Dog, what kind of ghost Taoist priest is this, he will take people's lives if he doesn't agree with him. Lu Zhiqi said indignantly.
"And then?" I continued.
"The evil way used my husband's ghost to threaten me, saying that in twenty years three young men, a man, two women, would come to the fishing village and inquire about the mirage. The male surname Yang and the female surname are all surnamed Zhu, and I must tell them the truth about the desert island, otherwise he will scatter the soul of my deceased husband, so that he will never be able to live forever, so that I will never see my husband again, my husband!" Liu Po cried out with tears in her eyes.
Twenty years later, the men's surname Yang and the women's surname were all Zhu? When I inquired about the news of the mirage, these key words in Mrs. Liu's words made everyone's foreheads instantly constrict, full of suspicions, and the atmosphere of suffocation and tension filled the entire small courtyard of the farmhouse.
A man and two women came to inquire about the news of the mirage? Not counting Zuo Yingqiu and his wife, we are now four people, and we are two men and two women, it should not be said that it is us, but how can the man's surname Yang and the woman's surname Zhu explain? It can't be just a coincidence, but this is too much of a coincidence. I began to meditate.
"Granny Liu, did the evil Dao say the specific names of this man and two women?" I continued to ask.
At this moment, I just want to get more information to prove whether the evil path refers to our group of people. But when I asked like this, it was obviously a bit self-deceptive, because a Taoist like the old man who was proficient in divination said that Lu Zhiqi had broken into other people's conspiracy by mistake, and it was obvious that this man could not be Lu Zhiqi, and there was only one surnamed Yang in our team, so this man naturally referred to me! Both women were surnamed Zhu, referring to Yiyi and Keke. I meditated and glanced at Yiyi and Coco, but I didn't dare say what was on my mind.
"The evil way only told their surnames, but did not tell me the real names of the man and the woman. Oh yes, I almost forgot, the evil way also said that when they left the East China Sea, there was only one man and one woman left, which means ••••••" Liu Po couldn't go on at this point, and Yiyi and I were once again frightened by her words.
There is only one man and one woman left, which means that one of the two women surnamed Zhu will die because of this, and it is obvious that this evil path plays the role of a prophet, but why did he do this? and why did he tell us everything through Liu Po's mouth?
After listening to Liu Po's words, Yiyi and Coco glanced at each other worriedly, and then turned their eyes to me at the same time, and at this moment I could feel the worry in their hearts, because no matter whether these two women were any of them, they were not willing to see each other.
"Forget it, everyone, I won't report this revenge Yang Daoguan, and I don't want the three artifacts of the Netherworld. ”
In fact, it is my lifelong wish to avenge my parents, how can I give up so easily, but I don't want to risk Yi and Coco for me. Especially Yiyi, I love her so much, if she has three longs and two shorts this time, then I will never live in the world.
"Knife officer, I know your worries, now is not the time to make a decision. Yiyi looked at me with a look of frustration, and then comforted me.
"What do you mean it's not the time to make a decision? Don't you know the consequences of landing on the island this time? Yiyi, no matter who it is, I don't want to see it, you know?"
Although there were a lot of emotional fluctuations in my mood at this moment, I still tried my best to show a calm side in front of Liu Po.
"Hey, this stinky Taoist priest is really powerful, I know what will happen in twenty years, fortunately we are four people, otherwise I think the evil way is coming at us, maybe, he is the murderer looking for the dust. ”
Lu Zhiqi breathed a sigh of relief and preached to everyone, it seems that Lu Zhiqi's cognition is only one-sided in the perspective of a man and two women, he doesn't know that he has strayed into our group of people, and he doesn't think about the deep meaning of Liu Po's sentence when he left the East China Sea, there is only one man and one woman left.
Coming for us?
After listening to Lu Zhiqi's words, I hurriedly spoke: "Lady Liu, the evil way asked you to tell a man and two women to go to a desert island twenty years later, what is there on the island?"
"The evil way told me that the island is sealed with the key to open the mirage, the Star Moon Mirror!"
"Xingyue Mirror?" I repeated Liu Po's words.
"Yes, the evil way said that if you want to enter the mirage, you must board that desert island, obtain the star and moon mirror to reflect the star and moon brilliance, and the mirage can appear on its own, there is no other way, recently I feel that my body is getting worse and worse, and I don't know if you are the person I am waiting for. Liu Po's words were full of sadness.
It's no wonder that the Evil Way Society has gone to great lengths to play the role of a prophet, it turns out that he is here to tell us that the key to the mirage is the Star and Moon Mirror, and that this thing is on the desert island he moved to.
"Po Liu, why are you here?"
Ming Qiu, the owner of the house, who was cooking the meal, hurriedly chased us out after seeing us with Liu Po and said: Is she telling you some story about the desert island? The people in the fishing village all know Liu Po, she is probably old, and she is chattering all day, but whenever there are foreign guests in the village, she will tell the same story, you must not believe her. ”
After speaking, Mingqiu sent Liu Po home.
But I know that Liu Po's words are not nonsense, because I think all this, as Lu Zhiqi said, is coming at us, and what kind of earth-shattering conspiracy are we involved in?
