Soon, it really got dark.

Jun Sai and Miao Xian'er were already in the town at this time.

The streets of the town are quiet, with few pedestrians, only the little lights of the houses.

There was a slight breeze and evening smoke drifting on the streets, and the fallen leaves falling on the ground, sometimes blowing, sometimes landing.

This Qingwu town shows a desolate scene.

The two walked a few streets, but found that there was no inn where they could stay.

Every house, the windows and doors are closed.

Surprisingly eccentric.

"Brother Junsai, there isn't even an inn here, how strange is it?" Miao Xian'er said.

Jun Sai said: "That's true. And the windows and doors of the house are closed, and it is very quiet. ”

"And where are we staying tonight?"

"I didn't find an inn, only a family, and stayed for one night. "Jun Sai Dao.

Subsequently, the two found a home.

"Knock Knock"

The king priest knocked on the door.

After a while, someone replied, "Who?"

His voice was a little weak and shaky.

"Squeak"

The door opened a crack.

"Who are you?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man.

Jun Sai stepped forward and said, "This big brother, my friend and I met your place on the road, but it was getting late, and I want to take advantage of this night, I don't know if I can be accommodating?"

"This ......"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and hesitated.

"If the eldest brother can, we can also pay for the house. The king took out a piece of silver and said.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he didn't seem to have seen so much money.

Just as the middle-aged man nodded in agreement, a woman appeared behind him, the older one, who was the middle-aged man's wife.

"Lao Zhang, who?"

The middle-aged man said, "A man and a woman, two young people want to stay overnight in our house." ”

The woman said, "No, I don't agree!

"But they say, "The one who pays for the house," the middle-aged man added.

The woman said angrily, "You are crazy! You don't know what day it is! Don't let these unclean people enter the house." If you dare to let them in and provoke something unclean, I can't spare you, old lady!"

Immediately the woman returned to the house.

The middle-aged man looked at his wife, angry, and shook his head helplessly, he didn't get the money that should have been earned, and he was a little unwilling in his heart, so he had to turn away the two of them.

"I'm sorry, little brother. My wife said, "Don't let you in." I can't help it. I can only say that I have no luck to earn the money in your hands. The middle-aged man said.

Jun Sai frowned and said, "May I ask, why is this?"

The middle-aged man said, "I can only say that you came at the wrong time. I'm sorry. Find another home!"

The man slammed the door shut and locked the door.

Isn't it timely?

Jun Sai didn't understand, could it be that there was something unspeakable and didn't dare to say it?

"Brother Jun Sai, what's wrong? Is it because people don't want to take us in?" Miao Xian'er looked at Jun Sai and walked over.

Jun Sai nodded.

"We're trying a few elsewhere. ”

After that, the royal sacrifice was still the same, and proposed that they could pay for the room and stay, but no one dared to take them in, and sometimes they gave them evil words.

However, Jun Sai could see that the faces of these families showed expressions of fear and fear.

It was a fear from the bottom of my heart.

It was getting dark, and the air was damp and cool.

It's going to rain.

Jun Sai walked a few more streets and knocked on the doors of more than a dozen houses, but they were all refused.

Walked the middle and lower part of the street, the end of a side street.

"This is the last one. ”

Jun Sai was just about to knock on the door, Miao Xian'er was on the side, and said, "Brother Jun Sai, why don't you let me try!"

When you hear it, it's not bad.

"Perhaps, you can really make it. Otherwise, we will have to find a place with a ruined temple," Jun Sai said.

"It's okay"

"I don't want you to be wronged," Jun said.

"As long as you are with Brother Junxi, it doesn't matter if Miao Xian'er lives in a bad place. ”

Miao Xian'er smiled.

......

"Dangdang Dang"

The sound of the knocker hitting the door.

"Is anyone there?" Miao Xian'er said softly.

It's not loud, but it's clear.

"Who?" said an old voice.

When the door opened, it was an old man.

Miao Xian'er said respectfully: "Hello, old man. We'd like to spend the night with you, but if we can?"

The old man looked at Miao Xian'er who was delicate and beautiful, and spoke politely, not like a bad person, and said, "Come in!"

When Miao Xian'er heard this, she smiled and said, "Thank you, old man." ”

The king priest also thanked him.

The old man closed the door and ushered the two into the house.

Jun Sai took a closer look, this old man's home is not big, there is only one courtyard, and two houses.

The old man led the two to the next house and said, "Old decay, there is only one more house for you two to rest." ”

"I still have to take care of my old wife in the sickbed, so I won't disturb the two of you to rest. ”

The old man then left.

Jun Sai watched as the old man returned to the brightly lit main room. The door was closed tightly.

After that, Miao Xian'er and Jun Sai looked at each other.

How do you sleep with only one bed?

Miao Xian'er's heart was pounding, and her face was slightly red.

"Brother Junsai, this.... The"

The king said, "You sleep on the bed, and I sleep on the ground." Isn't that enough?"

"Oh. ”

Miao Xian'er was nervous and a little disappointed.

Although Jun Sai wanted to go one step further with Xian'er, the strangeness cast by this town attracted him even more.

As for emotional matters, he doesn't like to do it overnight, but is willing to take it slowly.

"Xian'er, don't you think it's strange?" said Jun Sai.

"Strange?"

Miao Xian'er didn't understand, and said, "Brother Junsai, what's strange?"

"We knocked on a lot of homes, but they didn't want to accept us. And only this old man is willing to take us in. And there was no fear on the face. Isn't this strange?" said Jun Sai, "and I always feel that this town has not been peaceful lately. I want to ask the old man what the hell is going on. ”

Miao Xian'er understood Jun Sai's words, and the strange feeling in her heart soared.

"Let's go, let's go and ask together"

"Hmm"

Miao Xian'er said.

The two came to the old man's house.

"Old man, are you asleep? I have a few questions for you. "Jun Sai Dao.

The old man's old voice rang out, "Come in." ”

As soon as the door was pushed, the strong smell of herbs came to my nose.

This herbal smell, so strong!

The whole room, covered with the heat of boiling herbs.

When he walked to the innermost part of the room, he saw the old man feeding medicine to the old woman on the bed.

The old woman on the bed was skinny, her breath was weak, her face was like yellow wax, and her lips were not bloody.

In the eyes of the king, it is a living dead.

After the old man finished feeding the medicine, he covered the quilt.

"I know what you're trying to ask? The old man said.

Jun sacrifice, Miao Xian'er followed the old man out of the bedroom and into the side hall.

"Old Man"

Just as Jun Sai was about to speak, the old man rushed and said, "I know you are curious, why in the whole town, only I dare to accept you for the night." ”

Jun Sai didn't expect that the old man would guess what he wanted to say in one sentence.

"Not bad. My friend and I were also surprised. "Jun Sai Dao.

The old man bowed his head and said, "Alas, you can't blame them. They are also afraid. ”

"Scared?"

"Why are you afraid?"

Jun Sai looked at the old man and asked.

"You don't know. In our Qingwu town on weekdays, people are very easy-going. It's just that these days are the special festivals 'Yinsha' that we have here, so for you outsiders, it's not clean for us. That's why they won't let you stay overnight. The old man said.

Jun Sai understood.

It's just that this 'Yin Festival' is the first time I've heard of it.

Miao Xian'er said: "That old man, then why are you willing to take us in?"

The old man smiled and said, "I have no children or daughters under my knees, and my wife will not live for a few years. What else could I be afraid of. ”

Miao Xian'er understood.

Jun Sai was more curious about the 'Yin Festival' and asked, "Old man, can you tell us about the Yin Festival?" ”

The old man hesitated.

"Okay! I can tell you, but after tonight, you'd better get out of here. If you continue to stay here, your life will not be guaranteed. The old man said, "Our Qingwu Town was a battlefield hundreds of years ago. The yin qi is thick, and in the depths of the Qingwu Mountains, the yin qi cannot be dispersed for a long time. Every year on the fifteenth day of July, we have the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling. ”

"Someone once saw a man walking around the town on horseback with a big knife in his hand. Those who have seen it have either died violently or lie down forever and become the living dead. ”

When the king priest heard this, he understood.

"So, the mother-in-law lying on the bed is..."

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, the old woman just saw a black shadow riding a horse and holding a knife three years ago, and then it became like this." ”

"We later hired a mage, and the mage was powerless. The mage told us that this was a Yin soldier's excuse. That's why we call these days the Lunar Day. ”

"Yin soldiers borrowed the way?"

Jun Sai had heard about the Yin Soldiers' borrowing of the Dao, but he didn't expect to encounter it today.

Miao Xian'er pushed open the door, and it seemed that the yin qi outside the door was indeed a little stronger than before.

"Girl. Close the door. If you inhale too much of this yin qi, something will go wrong. The old man admonished.

Miao Xian'er said: "Old man, it's okay. ”

Martial artists like Jun Sai and Miao Xian'er have their own true qi in their bodies. This bit of yin qi is not something to fear for them.

"Brother Junsai, I want to stay. Miao Xian'er said.

Jun Sai nodded and said, "I have the same intention. ”

Three days later, night.

Before leaving, the old man advised: "Tonight's yin qi is the heaviest, you must be careful!"

"Hmm. We know. ”

Jun Sai and Miao Xian'er wore night clothes, walked out of the old man's house, stepped on the moonlight that was not yet covered by the fog, and walked towards the Qingwu Mountains.

Both men carried weapons in their hands.

......

En route.

"Brother Jun Sai, how do you know that the yin qi is coming from this direction. Miao Xian'er asked.

"I don't know very well, but I can really feel that this yin qi is coming from this direction" Jun Sai thought for a while and said, "It may have something to do with the exercises I cultivated." ”

At this time, the two of them were heading in the northeast direction of Qingwu Town.

For these three days, the priest stayed in the old man's house.

On the one hand, it is to find a way to try to treat the old woman who collapsed. On the other hand, the Jun Festival is to observe the topography of the entire Qingwu Town.

During the day, every time they came out of the old man's house, the people in the town would do the sunrise as usual, but when they met a stranger like Jun Sai, they would stay away.

Even the pedestrians in front of the old man's house were frightened and avoided when they passed by.

The townspeople were talking, and the king learned that the people in the town said that the old man who took them in was an unknown person.

When the sun sets, every house is closed.

The three-day scene is vividly remembered.

He was determined to find out the source of this yin qi, find out, and see what it was.
