Chapter 1424: Ghost Gatekeeper
In the deep night, the solemn and sacred ancestral ancestral hall is like a beast that chooses people to devour, it seems that as long as you walk into it, it is equivalent to walking into the internal organs of the beast, and it will swallow it so that there is not even a bit of bone residue left.
Not only that, the closer you get to the ancestral tomb, the colder the night becomes, and it seems that all the footprints of living things have been cut off here, leaving only boundless silence, and it seems that even the mountain wind has stopped flowing here.
"Brother Mumu, I'm a little scared of ......" Although Lin Bai cheered him up, Ah Run was still young after all, especially looking at the dark night, as well as the surrounding graves, and the ghostly feeling around, he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart, holding Lin Bai's hand tightly, his little face was full of fear, and he said urgently: "Why don't we go back?" ”
Hearing Ah Run's words, Lin Bai slowly stopped, looked at the dark cemetery in the distance, and began to hesitate a little in his heart.
"Let's go inside again, and I'll take a look." After muttering for a while, Lin Bai gently held the little girl's hand and said softly: "You follow Brother Mumu, if something is wrong, let's run back quickly." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Mumu." Ah Run hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth, nodded, and then hummed a ballad gently, as if he wanted to give himself courage, but unfortunately there was still a hint of tremor in her singing voice.
Listening to the little girl's trembling singing, Lin Bai smiled lightly, didn't say anything more, just held her hand tightly, trying to transmit the calmness in his heart into the little girl's heart, so that she could feel a little more relaxed.
insisted on letting Arun accompany him, in fact, it was not as simple as Lin Bai being afraid of loneliness, or wanting to find a companion. It's that he thinks that Xiuxiu's case is really weird and tight, if everything is really like his own inference, it is related to the sacrifice of his mother-in-law, and the means of getting rid of Gu worms that day are all noticed by her.
In this case, it is hard to guarantee that the mother-in-law who does not know the truth or falsehood will find some way to deal with herself and eliminate the variables to the smallest range, and now her biggest weakness is the little girl next to her.
If the 'Mother-in-law Zhu' is planning to make herself passive, the best way is to attack Ah Run and blackmail herself. It is for this reason that Lin Bai insists on letting Ah Run follow him, so that he can protect her safety anytime and anywhere, and prevent her from being harmed.
The cemetery was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, leaving only the light footsteps of Lin Bai and Ah Run, echoing in the night. The silence and coldness felt as if no one had ever been here, and the deep darkness of the night was like an open sack to put the two of them in it, so that they could never see the light of day.
Especially when walking in the cemetery, there is an indescribable cold atmosphere, which makes people can't help but have goosebumps, and many negative emotions begin to rise from their hearts unconsciously.
And for some reason, the ever-bright lamps that were enshrined by various families in the ancestral hall in the past were not even lit tonight. You need to know that these ever-bright lamps represent the awe of these mountain people in the village to the ancestral gods, from the attitude of those people who heard that Xiuxiu collided with the ancestral gods, you can see how deep the awe in their hearts is, this ever-bright lamp is not lit, it is too weird!
And the most inexplicable thing is that the short road from the cemetery to the ancestral hall now seems to have no end, Lin Bai and A Run have walked for almost half an hour since they came in, but they still haven't even seen the shadow of the ancestral hall.
"Brother Mumu, why can't you find the ancestral hall?" Not only did Lin Bai discover this anomaly, but after walking for a while, Ah Run also discovered that something was wrong, and after his big eyes wandered around for a while, he asked Lin Bai in panic.
"It should be that we are going the wrong way, and we should be able to find the location of the ancestral hall later." Lin Bai smiled lightly, his face was silent, and seeing that the little girl's face was still full of worry, he comforted him gently: "Look for it again, if it doesn't work, we'll go back." ”
Although he said that he would go back if he couldn't do it, Lin Bai didn't know in his heart, and now I'm afraid that even if he really wants to go back, there is no way to find a way back. After walking for so long, the night is still deep, and there is no light left around, and there is a trace of cold air from all over the body constantly invading the body, this situation is similar to the ghost hitting the wall!
But now this situation is similar to ghosts hitting the wall, but in Lin Bai's feelings, it seems that the current situation is not the same as the ghosts hitting the wall that remain in his memory. The real ghost hits the wall, when walking, he can't tell the direction, his self-perception is blurred, and he doesn't know where to go, so he can only spin in place.
BUT IN THIS CEMETERY, FOR SOME REASON, LIN BAI ALWAYS FELT THAT THERE SEEMED TO BE SOMETHING HIDING IN THE SHADOWS, SECRETLY PROBING HIMSELF AND ARUN, AND AS FAR AS HIS FEELING WAS CONCERNED, THIS PLAUSIBLE 'GHOST HITTING THE WALL' SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE BY THAT THING.
However, in Lin Bai's perception, that aura was not strong, and it should not be 'Blessing Mother-in-law'. Because according to the intensity of this aura, it was impossible to create a silk Gu at all. If it doesn't even have this ability, it naturally won't be the culprit.
"Brother Mumu, I feel like someone is watching us." Just when Lin Bai was thinking about this, Ah Run suddenly opened his mouth, looking around nervously, and his big eyes were full of fear.
A child's spiritual sense is indeed stronger than that of ordinary people. Hearing Ah Run's words, Lin Bai was stunned at first, and glanced at Ah Run with some suspicions, some didn't understand how she found out about this matter, but after thinking about it, because the yin and yang aura in the child's body is not as strong as that of an adult, as long as there is a slight change in the yin and yang aura around him, he can be keenly aware of it.
"Don't be afraid, it's not a powerful thing." Lin Bai chuckled and shook his head, comforted Ah Run, and then said lightly: "If you want to use such a little thing to embarrass Brother Mumu for me, you really underestimate me." ”
Just as he was thinking about it, the memories that remained in Lin Bai's mind had roughly confirmed what was hiding in the shadows.
According to the records in those surviving memories, there was a strange method in ancient times, which was circulated in the homes of some powerful officials and eunuchs. And this method is 'ghost watching', which is to see the door through 'raising ghosts'.
This 'ghost' is not a ghost in the actual sense of the word, but a thing that possesses some sinister energy. But it is not a simple thing to find this kind of thing, and even if it is a physiognomy to do, it will take a lot of effort.
The reason why this is so is because this kind of thing with yin energy is completely different from ordinary yin things, and it must be the kind of thing that is born with the ability to be similar to 'ghost hitting the wall'.
Most of the yin and evil things are just resentment, and most of their effects are to use the yin and evil breath in the body to invade the human body, causing damage to the balance of yin and yang in the body, and causing great changes in people's spirits.
And this kind of shady thing with the ability to 'ghost hit the wall' is often not necessarily able to appear in thousands of shady things, only in those that were once ancient battlefields, or in the mass graves formed by huge disasters, will occasionally produce one. Moreover, the yin and evil themselves will also devour each other, so the existence of this thing is even more rare.
So this kind of method, ordinary people don't even have to think about it. It is also for this reason that most of the people who can use this method are nobles who can afford to invite the kind of physiognomy masters and people in the Qimen who have real talents and learning, and who have a lot of financial and material resources. Moreover, most of the effects of this method are to use the effect of this thing to guard the tombs of nobles or secret treasures.
After so many years of recuperation in the world, and the population continues to increase, similar mass graves, and battlefields and the like have disappeared, and the power of yin and evil is even less pitiful, which also leads to the fact that there are more and more sparse things with the ability of 'ghosts hitting the wall', and people's concepts have changed, so this method has gradually disappeared, and there are very few people in the strange gate who know this method.
However, this kind of evil thing with the ability of 'ghost hitting the wall' is certainly weird, but its body does not have much attack ability, at most it has some means that can create illusions and make people addicted to it. Therefore, as long as you find the location of this shady thing, with the help of some means, to keep the mind ethereal, you can easily solve it.
But what Lin Bai didn't understand was that if the records in his memory were accurate, how could such a strange and unpredictable thing appear in this remote mountain village where birds don't, and how could those people in the village have the financial, material and human resources to set up such a barrier for their ancestral graves.
Even the real mother-in-law, who is highly respected by the people in the village, probably does not have the means and insight to arrange this strange and unpredictable layout. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, which makes Lin Bai even more sure that the current 'Wishing Mother-in-law' is weird.
"Brother Mumu, then what should we do now, this black one, we can't see that thing, right?" Although Lin Bai's words made Ah Run's heart relax a little, but looking at the swarthy graves around him, the little guy's heart couldn't help but raise his throat, and he hugged Lin Bai tightly, and said in fear: "The two of us won't be trapped here for the rest of our lives, right?" ”
"Don't worry, no, you'll be able to get out right away." Lin Bai smiled lightly, held Run'er's little hand tightly with his right hand, and said slowly: "Just such a small means, trying to embarrass you Brother Mumu is just a fool's dream." ”
As he spoke, Lin Bai suddenly took a deep breath, and then slowly closed his eyes. After informing him of the reason for this strange scene in the broken memories in his mind just now, he has already been given the means to solve it, as long as he draws a scoop according to the gourd.
Originally, hearing Lin Bai's words, Ah Run just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw him suddenly close his eyes again, he couldn't help but be anxious and strange.
