Chapter 167: The Day of the Taboo

Feng Jin never thought that he would be lucky enough to pick up a life because of his persistence. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

What was even more shocking was Luo Hua, fortunately, Feng Jin had been urging him to hurry as soon as possible, and refused to let him rest along the way, it seems that his approach was very correct, if he hadn't reached the Life and Death Boundary Monument after dark, I was afraid that there would be two more corpses on the mountain road soon.

Feng Jin has long heard that miasma will breed in the dense forest, because it has been inaccessible for many years, and the leaves are piled up and rotted, and some poisonous substances gather, mixed together to breed highly toxic gases, but in the case of the sun in the daytime rarely appears, once the temperature drops at night, the water vapor in the woods liquefies, it is easy to form a water mist, and after mixing the miasma, it can easily take the lives of humans and animals.

At that time, Feng Jin looked at the thicker and thicker fog and felt that things were a little abnormal, especially when Luo Hua reminded him and saw the colored mist, which was probably a highly poisonous miasma, fortunately it went fast.

"And what about the Forbidden Day?" Feng Jin asked.

The old man sat back on the chair, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "This is related to the rules of Sandaoxing Village. There was no such festival before, and I don't know when it began, about 100 years ago, everyone found that there were always some yin qi of unknown origin gathered around the village, and everyone didn't pay attention to it at first, who would have thought that one day something big would happen, and all the livestock in the village would die overnight, and the death was miserable. ”

"What does it look like?" The wind held back his breath.

"All the blood in his body was drained, and all that was left was a dry skin. At that time, everyone was frightened, and a few bold people were taken out to check for several days in a row, but nothing was found, no one knew what happened that night, but fortunately, no one had an accident, and everyone regarded this day as a taboo day, and everyone closed their doors that night, and no one could come out. Later, it developed to the point that you couldn't even light the lights. ”

Feng Jin felt that the truth should be investigated clearly, but after so many years, he still didn't know what monster had killed the livestock in the village, and the villagers only knew how to blindly avoid it, which was too much to lose.

"Why didn't you find out the truth of the matter back then?"

The old man said: "Those bold people have been checking for many days, and the search scope has been extended to the edge of the village, but nothing has been found, even if everyone thinks that it is a monster, because there is no evidence, and even the shadow of the monster has not been touched, so it is hastily settled, but everyone later formed a tacit understanding, and every night on this night honestly hid at home and did not go out, but after so many years, there were occasionally a few incidents of livestock being plundered, and no other strange things happened." Even so, the Forbidden Day was deeply imprinted in the memories of everyone in Sandaoxing Village, and no one dared to break it easily. ”

Feng Jing thought about it, as long as he stayed at home honestly on this night every year, he would be safe and sound, and the villagers would have nothing to lose, so why should he delve into the truth behind this?

Recalling the scene they saw when the two of them entered the village from outside in the first half of the night, Feng Jin still felt that the atmosphere of this forbidden day was very strange and made people shudder! Especially the smoky streets and houses, as well as the green soul-attracting lamps that are hidden in the faint smoke and constantly flickering, are enough to scare the courage of ordinary people!

But after thinking about it, Feng Jin still felt that there was more than that's behind the forbidden day, just the livestock being drained of blood overnight could not make everyone scared for hundreds of years, there should be a story behind it.

Feng Jin asked again: "Why have basically no villagers had an accident on the forbidden day for so many years, so why is everyone so afraid?" ”

"Just because you haven't had an accident doesn't mean you won't have an accident, if you think about it, livestock have ended their lives in this way, and it will also appear in people, everyone actually knows this truth, but they don't want to try, who would joke with their lives."

"There have always been a few people who don't believe in evil over the years, right?" Feng Jin asked.

"Where do you think this is? Anyone who can commit a crime in the realm of Sandaoxing Village, whether it is a human or a monster, is not a guy to mess with, and the killing of all the livestock overnight is just to warn everyone not to interfere with its activities that night. ”

Feng Jin finally understood a little, and said, "So, this night must be very important to that 'murderer'?" ”

"As for who the murderer is, we don't want to know, in short, it has already made its position clear, and we can only succumb to its obscenity, and those who dare to challenge it have not stood up for so many years." The old man said helplessly.

At this point, Feng Jin didn't know whether he was lucky or fateful, he broke into the village on the night of the forbidden day, and he was unharmed, and the villagers would definitely not believe it, would this break their habit of hundreds of years?

"When we came in, we found that the village was covered with a pale gray fog, and ...... These soul-attracting lamps under the eaves look even more infiltrating, do you hang this lantern at night on weekdays? Feng Jin asked.

Speaking of this, Feng Jin felt that the old man was a little tired, and the expression on his face became a little vicissitudes and tiredness, and he was about to take back the irrelevant question just now, but the old man told another story.

"The Soul Lamp doesn't really have much to do with the Forbidden Day, but since that terrible thing happened, everyone thinks that it is not a good thing that the village has lost all its vitality overnight, and if someone who doesn't know breaks in by mistake and doesn't even have a light, wouldn't it hurt others?"

Feng Jin continued: "So-you hung these soul-attracting lamps to warn those who are about to enter the village that this is very dangerous? ”

The old man nodded and said: "Yes, this is also a method that a master in the village came up with a long time ago, the soul-attracting lamp can not only warn the living, but also the ghost can also see it, and all the soul-attracting lamps are hung on both sides of the street, just to guide the lonely souls and wild ghosts along this street to the road to Huangquan." ”

At first glance, Feng Jin felt that there was a contradiction in this, and he couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and raised another question.

"On the one hand, the soul lamp warns the living to stay away from here, and on the other hand, it attracts the surrounding ghosts to gather here, how does the two feel a little contradictory?"

The old man said: "At that time, many people felt that this method was problematic, and it was not a good thing to gather ghosts in the village, in case a large number of ghosts were attracted to come, many people in the village would not be able to protect themselves, and this practice was actually very dangerous. However, the person who proposed this method insisted that there was nothing wrong with it, because the ghost would only be guided by it obediently after seeing the lamp, and could not hurt people at will. ”

Feng Jin asked, "What is the reason for this?" ”

"Because the man said that the source of the flame of the soul-attracting lamp comes from hell." The old man replied.

Without his need to explain too much, Feng Jin could understand what this sentence meant, it turned out that the green and faint flame was actually an immeasurable karmic fire from hell! (To be continued.) )
