Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Night Is Not Quiet
Jiang Yu couldn't help but want to prove his doubts while admiring Xu Er, so he asked, "Uncle Xu, when did this mouse die?"
Xu Eryi couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yu when he heard it and said: "This beast was originally jumping on me and was about to bite me, but he was captured alive by my backhand, now that I think about it, it is really weird, this mouse seems to be struggling when he just entered this village." β
As soon as Xu Er said this, everyone's heart that had just been put down was raised again, this village did not seem to be as simple as it seemed, and only Jiang Yu, Jiang An and Xu Jingwen were not tired among the people, and because the sky was already a little dark, they began to help everyone set up a tent, and after some busy work, a small camp was completed, and everyone did not have emotional problems because of the loss of two team members, but the atmosphere was very dull.
Jiang Yu didn't want to feel this atmosphere and began to observe the surrounding environment, this small village said that there are only nine houses in the village, the houses are made of mud, wood and haystacks, and these houses are built in almost the same way, each household has an independent earthen courtyard wall, but there is no courtyard wall gate, only the wooden door of the house, but it looks weird that all the wooden doors are closed, and there is no decoration on the wooden door, just the wooden door, as for entering and checking Jiang Yu feels that he is alone, forget it, even if he has great ability, but this barren mountain and wild mountains, to be honest, the creepy feeling is deep in the bone marrowγ
Jiang Yu walked to the head of the village and found a deserted path, this road is different from the village, it is paved with square stone piers, it looks smooth and smooth, like a road that people in the village often walked, although Jiang Yu is curious, but he will not rush forward, after all, it is almost dark.
Jiang Yu returned to the camp and found that his second grandfather had actually entered the relatively well-preserved wooden house closest to the camp, Jiang Yu, who was already a little curious, of course he would not miss the opportunity, the wooden house was not about ten square meters large, perhaps because there were many people, and the house was not as eerie and terrifying as Jiang Yu thought.
Jiang Yu's second grandfather, Jiang An and Xu Jingwen, were watching the black stone pillar on the roof in the center of the house at this time, the stone pillar was carved with various patterns and symbols, which looked a little weird, and there was nothing in this room except a dusty earthen bed, and the old wooden staff and rotten bow and arrow hanging at the head of the bed.
From the mouths of Jiang An and Xu Jingwen, Jiang Yu learned that these things should have something to do with the beliefs of the time, as for why the stone pillar was carved in the room, it is unknown, and what makes people feel abnormal is that the room is too tidy, although it is a bit unreasonable to say this, but it gives people such an unreasonable feeling, because the heavy dust scattered in the house also gives people a sense of neatness.
Because of Xu Jingwen and Jiang An, everyone didn't touch anything in the room, but there was nothing valuable in this room, and everyone started to cook rice when they got out of this weird hut, compressing biscuits and canned food as before, as well as these candies and chocolates and milk tea that can make tea.
Because of the exhaustion of the afternoon, everyone got into the tent early, as before, no one was on duty, just when everyone was asleep, the bright and bright moonlight in the bright night sky buzzed, and a pillar of light shrouded this small village, and the sleeping Jiang Yu woke up suddenly, opened the tent and saw the scene that made his sweat burst.
Jiang Yu only saw the light gate at the end of the village that seemed to be condensed by moonlight, and the nine wooden houses that were originally uninhabited, at this time, there were people staggering out of the houses one after another, walking towards the tempting light gate, Jiang Yu couldn't see the appearance of these people clearly, they seemed to have a substantial figure and could only see the outline clearly, and there seemed to be a bell hanging on their bodies, and they would jingle with every step they took, like the souls queuing up on the bridge to die, and what made Jiang Yu even more terrifying was that two of them were very similar to the two people who were drowned by the rat tide.
And just when Jiang Yu wanted to wake up his second grandfather, he suddenly found that Jiang An had come out of the tent by himself, but what made Jiang Yu blew up was that Jiang An only had the whites of his eyes, it should be said that the pupils of his eyes were turned up like rolling his eyes, but this white eye looked a little terrifying, and after Jiang An came out, he was also fascinated and slowly walked towards the light gate, and then Chang Qing, Xu Jingwen, and Xu Er successively all the people in the entire camp were like this.
Jiang Yu didn't dare to delay any longer and took out a bronze talisman to open his eyes, but Jiang Yu couldn't see any changes at all, Jiang Yu was the first time he encountered such a thing, his own eye of heaven and earth, the natural pupil couldn't see through, although he couldn't see through the light door, but Jiang Yu saw these people who walked out, it should be said that it was the soul, the spirit divided into resentful spirits, fierce spirits, evil spirits, souls, among which the soul is a pure spirit.
So as the name suggests, these spirits are unconscious souls of the dead, Jiang Yu knows that the power of the copper rune alone cannot break the current situation, Jiang Yu took out the small silver needle prepared before and immediately pricked the index finger of his right hand, although it hurt a little, Jiang Yu didn't dare to delay the operation of the true qi, took out a copper rune void and threw it and shouted: "The copper rune is the base, my blood is the pen, the Xuantian rune, the Zhenling rune array is in the hand, wake me up, wake up, wake up!"
Three times in a row to wake up the void drawing talisman was completed, the red rune was instantly shrouded, and the sound of the golden bell ringing resounded all around, which was like the sound of a stick in the head, so that Chang Qing, who was dreaming of a sweet dream, broke free from the vanity, and couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the surrounding situation clearly, and said in a foul mouth: "... This is... How the hell is this Death Gate? How the hell is this thing here?"
Jiang Yu didn't think that this was any kind of rebirth, so he said loudly: "Brother Dao, don't look at it, hurry up and stop them from moving forward, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." β
Jiang Yu's words made Chang Qing react from his stunned mind, hugged his fist towards Jiang Yu and stepped forward to block the people who wanted to approach the Guangmen, Chang Qing threw a hire on the ground and said loudly to Jiang Yu: "Brother Dao, this Guangmen has the ability to charm the mind, and it can make people immerse themselves in beautiful dreams, it is not because of Brother Dao's alarm bell and the call of the fox fairy, I am afraid of being like them now." β
Jiang Yu nodded and pulled the few people who came over and walked towards the light gate back to his side again, and said loudly to Chang Qing: "It seems that this spirit bell can't wake them up, Brother Dao is blocking them from moving forward, I'll try it again." β
"Daoyou, just let go and do it, I'll cover these people!"
Jiang Yu nodded, his expression was solemn and he pulled out the saber, the blade went up and the index finger of his right hand lightly slashed on the blade, and the bright red blood flowed down the blade to the tip of the knife, Jiang Yu hated the pain of cutting himself the most, but he did not hesitate to use his true qi and began to concentrate on drawing talismans on the ground, and his mouth followed the imprint and said: "Take blood as the guide, take the earth as the bone, Xuantian rune, seal carved heaven rune." With my true anger, listen to my orders, Xuantian Fu, clear the clouds and see the sun, up!"
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding stars and moonlight were distorted instantly, and the rune array under Jiang Yu's feet suddenly emitted a dazzling brilliance, and the eyes of the people who shone were painful, and the light gate was also eclipsed under the white light, and the people walking towards the light gate also stopped and seemed to hesitate, Jiang Yu was also relieved when he saw this, after all, this heavenly talisman was actually of little use except for the power of purification, but it was extremely consuming Xuantian Innocence Qi, and at least half of Jiang Yu's qi was pumped at a time.
Chang Qing looked at Jiang Yu with such ability, he was sitting on the ground panting, he was tired enough to carry people, he took a sip of mineral water that he didn't know where to take it out, hugged Jiang Yu not far away and said: "Daoyou has never seen it in his life, if it weren't for Daoyou, I'm afraid we would all die here." β
Jiang Yu smiled, took out a bottle of mineral water, drank two sips, waved his hand, and said: "It's not as strong as you think, speaking of which, this light gate is so weird, I don't know what the hell it is." β
"It is rumored in Buddhism that there was once a sect called the afterlife, which was specially used to cross sentient beings, but no one has seen anything like it, but this village is also weird, obviously there are only nine houses, but so many souls have come out. β
Jiang Yu nodded with his chin and said: "It's really weird, the rat tide we encountered before, and the souls we encounter now and the so-called Death Gate, this village is not simple, there must be some secrets that we haven't discovered." β
As time passed, the light gate seemed to slowly darken, and the people who were confused also woke up one after another, and when they saw everything in front of them, they were also frightened to the point that their scalps were numb, after all, all this was too much beyond normal cognition, and in this case, everyone couldn't sleep, and sat together to watch the strange scene in front of them.
At five o'clock, the sky lit up slightly, and the light gate also dissipated, and the soul disappeared with the dissipation of the light gate, even Jiang Yu opened his eyes and could not see the wandering soul, in order to understand the truth, Jiang Yu and the others also specially surveyed the situation in all the wooden houses, whether it was the room design or furnishings were almost the same, the only difference was the things hanging at the head of the bed, the first room was the staff, bow and arrow, the second was the mask, the bow and arrow, the third was the bronze mirror, the fourth was the copper bell, the fifth was the bone knife, the sixth was the leather clothing, the seventh was the leather drum set, the eighth was the drumstick, the ninth was the shoulder blade of the animal and the likeγ
Nine rooms and nine things, according to Jiang An and Xu Jingwen's guess, this may be a set of utensils, used for sacrifice or prayer to the gods, Chang Qing agrees very much, according to what he said, there are similar magic weapons in his family, but they are generally enshrined at the entrance of the hall and only taken off when they are used, as for why this place is placed separately at the head of the bed, I don't know anything, not only Chang Qing This is also something that everyone doesn't understand.
What is the connection between all this? no one knows, and what is the reason for these spirits to come out of the room? no one understands, and whether the light door will appear again, no one knows. Jiang Yu was already a little reluctant at this time, he was no longer as absolutely sure of this strange place as he was at the beginning, maybe he himself could not be afraid at all, but after all, he was not alone.
