Chapter 157: Conspiracy
Yu Dafa was obviously unhappy with Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen not believing him, and he had the meaning of "If you don't follow me, then you will go back and forth from there". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan glanced at each other, and naturally saw the erection from the other party's eyes, the two of them had to see Sister Xu on this trip, they had come here, where was the reason to go back.
In this case, the two of them have no choice but to believe that Yu Dafa will continue to follow him.
After walking out of the end of Shuiyue Village, walking along the mountain road for about a cup of tea, Yu Dafa pointed to a small wooden house not far in front of him:
"That is the wooden house where Sister Xu lives, after arriving at the wooden house, I will first go to inform Sister Xu, and after Sister Xu should come down to see you, I will go out and take you into the wooden house to see Sister Xu."
Zhan Yan didn't react, but Yin Seventeen asked:
"Then what if Sister Xu doesn't want to see us?"
Yu Dafa seemed to sneer, but did not answer, and led the way again.
Yin Seventeen was not annoyed, only closer to Zhanyan, and whispered to Zhanyan:
"Judging from Yu Dafa's attitude, the meaning is clear, that is, if Sister Xu doesn't want to see us, we can only go home!"
Zhan Yan said: "Don't worry, I think Sister Xu will meet us." ”
Yin Qiqi thought about it and said: "Also, since Sister Xu can help Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu leave this Shuiyue Village, then she should not refuse our arrival." ”
Although Yu Guangnian and his wife were unwilling to reveal to the two of them the real reason why they left Shuiyue Village, they always perfunctorily said that they were tired of living in the village, and they no longer wanted to be bound by the ancient folk customs of Shuiyue Village that had been passed down from generation to generation, so they wanted to move to Hongsha County to live, also in order to better see more of the world.
But this kind of statement, if it is said that there is fifty percent belief in Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen before, then this will be nothing left!
When she first entered Shuiyue Village, she made Yin Seventeen feel so strange when she saw and heard, all of which showed her that it was not simple for Yu Guangnian and his wife to leave.
Zhan Yan's five senses are not as strong as Yin Seventeen, but he also feels the complexity of Shuiyue Village, in addition to telling Yin Seventeen to be more careful, he himself has become more and more cautious.
When he arrived at the wooden house, Yu Dafa first stepped forward to knock on the door, and after getting a low response from inside the door, he pushed the door into the wooden house, and then closed it, blocking Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen from the door.
The two took advantage of this gap to take a look at the environment outside the wooden house.
The wooden house is built on the mountainside, and Shuiyue Village is at the foot of this mountain, and it took nearly half an hour to walk from the head of Shuiyue Village to the end of Shuiyue Village, and then from the end of Shuiyue Village to the front of this wooden house.
It is not how far the wooden house is from Shuiyue Village, but the only mountain road from the end of Shuiyue Village to the wooden house is very difficult to walk, Yu Dafa should be used to walking, he is very steady, skilled and fast, Zhanyan has a martial arts foundation, Yin Seventeen has also been collecting medicine on the outskirts of the county in the past five years, and Zhanyan has pulled a hand from time to time, so the two of them can also keep up with Yu Dafa.
Later, Yu Dafa saw that it was difficult for the two of them, but slowed down his pace, and the distance was also winding and winding, with nine twists and eighteen turns, although the two had doubts about this, they could only follow Yu Dafa quietly.
Yin Qiqi looked at the towering ancient trees that were so dense that people couldn't tell the direction, and remembered how many turns Yu Dafa took the two of them when she went up the mountain, she was a little dizzy, and couldn't help but say:
"The trees on this mountain are dense, and most of them are towering ancient trees that are old and old, and the sunlight is blocked by these ancient trees, and even the moonlight probably can't be refracted in, which will obviously be the peak of the sun in the afternoon, but this mountain has its own shade, the closer to the wooden house, the more so!"
Zhan Yan held the same opinion as Yin Seventeen, and was also quite suspicious of Yu Dafa's behavior, but the matter had come to this point, and the two could only continue.
Yin Seventeen could see the dead words of the deceased, the easier he could feel the kind of cold air from the Yin Soul to the bones, Zhan Yan listened to Yin Seventeen say this at the moment, and he also understood the meaning of Yin Seventeen's words, but he couldn't help but build in his heart:
"Yu Dafa said that Sister Xu is a goddess, and there may be some extremely yin things in the wooden house."
Yin Qiqi heard the slight self-comforting fear in Zhanyan's words, after all, if there are really those so-called ghosts, don't say Zhanyan, even she can't deal with it, she can see the dead talk, it doesn't mean that she has the ability to catch ghosts.
Thinking like this, Yin Seventeen couldn't help but gradually frown.
Seeing this, Zhan Yan said: "You don't have to think about it, as long as you don't do anything wrong, even if the ghost knocks on the door in the middle of the night, you are not afraid." ”
How do you know that Yin Seventeen's eyebrows frowned even tighter when he heard this, and then slowly made a pretty face.
Zhan Yan couldn't help but quip: "Didn't you really do something wrong?" ”
Yin Qiqi said with a bitter face: "I damaged all the herbs that my grandmother just planted, but the stain was made by Hu Fatzi, does this count?" ”
Zhan Yan nodded quite seriously: "Count." ”
Yin Seventeen's bitter gourd-like face wrinkled even more ugly: "I went out to play with Hu Fatzi and Brother Chen, and accidentally caused Brother Chen's robe to be torn, and my grandmother asked me what was going on, but I didn't tell the truth, does this count?" ”
Zhan Yan nodded again solemnly: "Count!" ”
Yin Seventeen was about to cry, and Zhan Yan was about to be choked by laughter, at this time Yu Dafa finally came out of the wooden house and beckoned the two of them to enter.
Zhan Yan quickly regained his indifferent look, and pulled Yin Seventeen, who was bubbling bitterly in his heart, into the wooden house together, but the two didn't expect that as soon as the two stepped into the wooden house, Yu Dafa withdrew from the wooden house and closed the door of the wooden house.
Before the two of them could ask what was going on, Yu Dafa was gone.
Yin Qiqi ran to the windowsill on the side of the wooden house to look, and saw that Yu Dafa had already gone down the mountain by himself, and Zhanyan also followed him to the windowsill to look, and naturally saw it.
Yu Dafa's behavior is obviously different, just as the two hesitated to see Sister Xu here, and the other went to catch up with Yu Dafa to ask a clear question, an old voice came from the wooden house:
"The two of them were entrusted by Yu Guangnian and his wife to find the old body, and the old body should be seen, and the two of them were invited to sit down, and when the old body finished the work in hand, they went out to entertain the two of them."
These words came from the inside, and it is typical to only hear his voice but not see his person.
The two of them immediately searched for the sound to the wooden door.
The wooden door was single, and it was very old, and there were a few cracks in the door that had been cracked for some reason, and through these cracks, both Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen saw a woman sitting with her back to the wooden door, sitting still like a monk sitting in meditation.
The two saw the woman in the middle through the slit, and judging from the previous voice, the voice was made by this woman, which means that the woman they saw was Sister Xu.
Sister Xu's strange meditation made Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen wonder in their hearts, where is this Sister Xu sacred?
While the two of them were guessing, it also made Zhan Yan decide that it was better for the two not to act separately.
Yin Seventeen still wants to act separately, so that he can find more clues, but Fang Yin Seventeen is alone here to see the mysterious Sister Xu, but Zhanyan is not at ease.
At Zhanyan's insistence, Yin Seventeen had no choice but to give up.
But the two of them sat and waited, and they waited until the sunset.
The wooden house was soon shrouded in darkness, Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen couldn't sit still, Yin Seventeen stepped forward and tried to call Sister Xu a few times, but Sister Xu didn't respond at all, and the two approached the wooden door in the wooden house.
Yin Qiqi looked at Zhan Yan and deliberately lowered his voice and said:
"At such a close distance, Sister Xu can obviously hear my call, but why did she not respond at all when I called her?"
Zhan Yan heard this, and then glanced at Sister Xu in the middle of her eyes and said:
"It's impossible not to hear it, there may be a side reason."
Yin Qiqi remembered that more than an hour ago, Sister Xu said that she would come out to entertain the two of them after finishing the work in her hand, but according to her, Sister Xu was just sitting quietly, although she couldn't see Sister Xu's face, she always felt that Sister Xu didn't actually do anything, and even the back looked a little stiff.
Yin Seventeen said hesitantly: "Brother Zhan, do you think Sister Xu will ...... Something went wrong? ”
Zhan Yan asked rhetorically, "Intuition? ”
Yin Seventeen nodded and admitted that it was indeed just her instinct, and there was no strong evidence.
Zhan Yan has always believed in Yin Seventeen's intuition, but Sister Xu is the goddess of Shuiyue Village, and it can be said that she is a Shinto character, he is not afraid of taking risks, but he doesn't want to take Yin Seventeen to risk:
"Wait a minute, maybe Sister Xu just hasn't finished her work yet, it's getting dark, let's go find the oil lamp and light it first."
Since Zhan Yan said so, Yin Seventeen only has the right share.
The two found an old oil lamp outside the hut, lit it, and continued to sit and wait.
But after another half an hour, Sister Xu still didn't move at all, which made Yin Seventeen unable to sit still anymore, and Zhanyan also felt that she couldn't wait any longer.
Yin Seventeen had already looked at the furnishings in the outer room of the wooden house, and there was hardly anything left aside except for the necessities and some drawn rune paper.
Yin Seventeen said: "There is nothing important on the outside, I think if there is anything important, it should be in the inside." ”
Zhan Yan was already standing in front of the wooden door that separated the inside from the outside, and he nodded and said:
"I'm going to start banging on the door, you get ready."
What to prepare, Yin Seventeen understood, and Zhan Yan also noticed the strangeness of Sister Xu, who had been sitting quietly in the room, and he asked her to be ready to deal with emergencies at any time after he smashed open the wooden door.
The wooden door is not heavy, compared to the double wooden door of the Tie Ziwang family that Zhan Yan had hit before, this wooden door is simply much thinner, and it was easily knocked open by Zhan Yan in just two clicks.
There was a loud bang, and the two thought that Sister Xu should react this time, but Sister Xu still maintained a posture of sitting quietly with her back to the wooden door, which made the two of them feel bad at the same time.
After the two glanced at each other, Zhan Yan took the lead in entering the inner room, and Yin Seventeen followed carefully.
Sister Xu sat on a mat on the ground, and there was an incense table in front of her, and there was an altar on the incense case, and the god enshrined was neither a Bodhisattva nor a Buddha, but a yellow fox.
The yellow fox was vivid, Yin Seventeen stared at the yellow fox, and for a while he didn't even blink his eyes, but said to Zhan Yan in surprise:
"Brother Zhan, Sister Xu is enshrined in the Yellow Fox Fairy!"
Yellow fox fairy is a good saying, and some people directly call it yellow skin.
Zhan Yanzi had also heard of what the Yellow Fox Immortal was, and while he was as surprised as Yin Seventeen, he couldn't help but feel that this was really nothing strange.
Today's villages all have their own beliefs, not to mention that the yellow skin that is respected as the Yellow Fox Fairy is some ancient trees and boulders with strange shapes, and some villagers worship it as a god.
The inside room is different from the outside, there is an ever-bright lamp on the left and right sides of the incense table in front of the altar, and the golden lamp trough is full of lamp oil, which is obviously just added.
With the illumination of two ever-bright lights, Zi Zhanyan knocked open the wooden door in the inner room, and when the two entered the inner room, they would not be blind.
Sister Xu slammed the door to the two of them squatting in front of her, she kept a sitting posture, closed her eyes tightly, and gestured strangely with her hands, as if the sky had nothing to do with her.
The most important thing is that Sister Xu is wearing a Taoist robe, which makes Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen more sure that the woman is Sister Xu's identity.
Zhan Yan directly reached out and raised it to Sister Xu's snort and neck pulse, and after realizing that there was no breath, Zhan Yan shook his head at Yin Seventeen.
Yin Seventeen exclaimed: "Dead? ”
Zhan Yan said: "Dead." ”
Sister Xu is dead?
But how is this possible?
Obviously, more than an hour ago, Yu Dafa also told Sister Xu about the arrival of the two, and with Sister Xu's consent, he took the two into the wooden house, and after Yu Dafa left the wooden house, Sister Xu also opened her mouth to let the two sit and wait for a while, how could they suddenly die?
During this period, Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen can guarantee with their heads that neither of them heard an abnormal sound, let alone an outsider intruding and killing.
However, Sister Xu is now in front of the two of them, and she is dying in a sitting posture like this, why is this?
Although the facts in front of us are difficult to believe, they are also facts, and apart from believing, Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen have no other choice.
The sudden bad news made the two digest it for a while, and then the two re-examined the wooden house that had become the scene of the crime.
While re-examining, the two of them already felt a hint of conspiracy on their trip to Shuiyue Village, otherwise it would be impossible for Sister Xu, who was alive and well, to die just in the few hours when the two of them arrived at Shuiyue Village and asked to see Sister Xu!
Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen began to turn around in the inner room, and the furnishings in the inner room were as simple as the outer room, except for one more altar incense case and more rune paper, there was no difference.
Zhan Yan inspected the rune paper that covered the only table in the room, and found that one of the rune paper on the table had not been finished drawing, and the cinnabar stained on the tip of the pen had not yet dried up:
"Sister Xu said earlier that let's wait for her to finish the work on hand, which should mean that she was drawing these runes at that time......"
Speaking of this, Zhan Yan suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Zhan Yan thought of that moment After he and Yin Seventeen heard the voice, the two of them immediately walked to the wooden door to peep, at that time Sister Xu was already meditating in front of the incense altar, so how could the work mentioned by Sister Xu mean that she was drawing rune paper?
