Chapter 18: Above the Breeze and Under the Black Water (5)

The wind hit the window and hissed.

Like a splash of black ink, the dim moonlight is the only color. Everything in this world does not seem to give this town any kindness.

With a look of confusion, Yin Ning wanted to call the sisters up, but she was afraid of disturbing them. The room was pitch black, with only moonlight shining on the opposite wall.

Yin Ning sat with her thighs clenched, leaning against the wall, the quilt tightly wrapping herself.

As the night gets deeper and the wind gets louder, it becomes more unsettling.

Suddenly, Yin Ning's eyes unconsciously fell on the painting...

Oh my God!! that picture!!!

Yin Ning's eyes widened, she couldn't believe all this in front of her! The painting was still a portrait of the man, but her expression had changed dramatically! I saw that the man's eyes bulged out, staring viciously ahead like bloodshots, his teeth were clenched, and the horizontal contours of his face were very sharp, even if it was just a change in expression, it was a hundred times more vicious and vicious than before, this painting seemed to be really possessed by a ghost, and the man inside was about to come out, as if he was cursing Yin Ning in front of him fiercely, and he wanted to crawl out immediately and tear her to pieces!!

Yin Ning's whole body was already numb, and she couldn't scream, she tried her best to calm herself, "No, run.... There really is a ghost in this house, go out and call someone..."

Yin Ning picked up his guiding staff, staggered out of the door, and knocked on the sisters' room, but he didn't dare to make too much movement, just when there was a reaction inside, Yin Ning's hand slowly put down... She saw that the east room opposite was still shining with a faint light.

I remember that at about ten o'clock in the evening, everyone was chatting in the courtyard, and the lights in the old people's houses were on, and the village chief and Chunsheng deliberately did not let everyone approach the room... But it's at least two o'clock in the night!

Yin Ning mustered up the courage and strode to the opposite room, which was blocked by the curtains on the inside, and only a thin slit could be glimpsed into it, and she turned her eyes closer...

I could only see the front of the oriental living room, where there was an extremely faint lamp, and on both sides of the coffee table, there were two old people sitting upright, with dull eyes, no blood on their faces, and their eyes staring straight ahead, that look.... It's just two living dead! Don't they sleep? Sitting there all day? What the hell are they?!

Yin Ning moved a few steps to the window next to her, trying to see more through the cracks in the curtains. But what she saw was another old man who looked like a dead man, watching her from the window.

...

"Ah!!" screamed, and Yin Ning fell to his knees in fright.

"Ning Ning, hurry up, what's wrong. ”

It turned out to be his two sisters, still wearing pajamas, and they followed out when they heard a knock on the door.

The sisters comforted Yin Ning, Yin Ning trembled, and her hand slowly raised and pointed to the room in the east room.

The three of them walked slowly and looked in the narrow slit...."Oh my God, are they human?"

After a while, the boys rushed out immediately when they heard the movement.

Knowing that there was something unusual in the east room, Qin Yunwan straightened the folding spear in his hand and picked the lock on the door of the east room, which was not secure. Wang Yuehan was the first to rush in, and a pinch of flame immediately ignited in his chest, and the whole room immediately became bright.

All the people were stunned.

Not just two, but at least seven or eight gray-haired old men sat in all corners of the room. Their expressions were frozen, their eyes glazed over, like wax figures, with only a trace of life.

"It seems that I can't hide it. ”

Everyone turned around and saw Chunsheng supporting the mayor and walking towards everyone step by step.

It all goes back a few years.

The former Qingfeng Town and Blackwater Town have not been split into two towns, and they are collectively known as Qingfeng Town.

At that time, the villagers of Qingfeng Town lived quite well, relying on rich mineral resources, even if they were far away from the city, people still had rich food and clothing, enjoyed life, and were peaceful.

But where there are people, there is a struggle, and as the minerals continue to be extracted, some people want to monopolize the remaining resources. Eventually, the village located outside the two mountains was expelled from the town and established itself as the town of Blackwater.

Although the two towns have long ceased to interact with each other, the hatred has not been reduced, and the contradictions between the two towns are on the verge of breaking out, and they will fight each other at any time.

However, soon, Qingfeng Town, which had occupied the resources, saw that there were still trading activities in Heishui Town, and after exploration, Heishui Town mined a new resource - oil, which turned out to be rich in oil resources under this black town. The people of Blackwater are secretly transporting oil to the outside, and some of them have already left the town.

At this time, Qingfeng Zhenheng was even more uncontrollable, provoking trouble three times and using various reasons as threats. But what gave Qingfeng Town a headache was that Blackwater Town was inhabited by a Holy Spirit Man, who was once in charge of escorting convoys when the two towns were not divided, and occasionally there were wild beasts, and the Holy Spirit Man could weaken his will.

Even if the two towns were divided, this Holy Spirit Man was very firm and stayed in the town of Blackwater that raised him, even if the town of Blackwater has always been at a disadvantage. In order to solve this trouble, the people of Qingfeng Town eradicated the mountains of Sudaran flowers, because they knew that this Holy Spirit Man could manipulate the power of Shanlanhua. In this way, the hillside that was once surrounded by flowers can no longer find cedar flowers. Today, only half of Blackwater's hillside remains.

In fact, the people of Qingfeng Town understand that this Holy Spirit Man is not strong, but can simply hypnotize people's will, so even with the existence of the Holy Spirit Man, it is not difficult for Qingfeng Town to attack Blackwater Town with its own strength.

However, something that made the two towns even more troublesome appeared.

The son of the mayor of Qingfeng Town, he fell in love with the daughter of the mayor of Blackwater Town.

They had repeated trysts, and they were repeatedly caught by their parents, and after they were caught, they were beaten severely, which was a shameful shame for them.

But even so, the relationship between the two people has deepened, and finally one night last year, they plotted to elope.

However, this time it still did not succeed, and the two men ran into the mountains, but were blocked by the people of the two towns, and the two ran farther and farther along the mountain road until they reached the edge of the cliff.

The two of them hugged each other tightly and shouted to those who were chasing after them, "If you take a step closer, we will jump off this cliff."

However, before the people could rush up, the eagles on the cliff were alarmed. Suddenly a flock of eagles surrounded the lovers and attacked them frantically, and the boy, in order to protect the girl, one of them did not stand firmly, slid down the cliff, and fell to his death on the spot. The people rushed forward in time to almost save the girl.

The battle is on the verge of breaking out.

Qingfeng Town has accumulated countless jealousy and anger, which turned into raging war at this moment, and knocked Blackwater Town to a loss. At this point, the people of Blackwater Town promised to give up all their resources, but asked to let the young people in Blackwater Town go, and let them go out with a small amount of resources to make a living. That's why, most of the people left behind in Blackwater are helpless old men.

The girl returned home, did not eat or drink, washed her face with tears all day long, and just a few days after the war, among the ruined ruins, hanged herself, and left a suicide note before she died, so that the portrait of her lover could be hung in her boudoir, and her body was buried under the boudoir.

Even if he was somewhat reluctant, the father still asked the old painter in the town to paint for his daughter's lover, but the old painter hated the people of Qingfeng Town to the core, even if it was just copying the photos, it was really impossible to paint people normally, and in the end it was perfunctory, and the housekeeper picked out a relatively good one among several paintings and put it on the top, stacked them together and put them in the frame.

"Oh, I see, this portrait is not going to change faces, but to put another one," Yin Ning seemed to suddenly realize, "But who changed the facts?

Chunsheng nodded: "I secretly used a spell to hypnotize you, and then went to the house to change the portrait. ”

"But why are you doing this, to scare me, what's the point?"

"To make you think that everything is ghostly," Qin Yundui analyzed, "so as to cover up some other conspiracy, right?"

"What kind of conspiracy?" Wang Yuehan was also confused.

"It should be related to the Black Soul Stone, the aura on these old men seems to be similar to the aura of the Vicious Dog Seven that I encountered before. Feng Xuan said.

"That's right," Qin Yunwan walked up to Chunsheng and the mayor, "please tell us what you know." ”

Chunsheng helped the old man sit on the stone pier and motioned for him to rest. "Actually, the moment you broke into the room, I knew there was nothing to hide. ”

"Just a few days after the big war last year, a few people suddenly came to the town, a few of them were wearing robes and painted totems on their faces, in fact, our older generation still knows something about them, and that should be Hu Feng. They spoke awkward language and interrogated us if we had an army of the Holy Spirit nearby. ”

"At that time, several old people in the town knelt down and begged that the village was being attacked and that the people were already struggling to make a living, and begged Hu Feng to let us go. But Hu Feng's attitude was not as bad as expected, they told us that they were just burying some treasures on the nearby mountains, and they would not stay for a long time, hoping that we would not report it to the army. ”

At that time, Blackwater Town was already miserable, and he didn't want to get into trouble, so of course he agreed again and again. The Hufeng people actually thanked us, and gave us a small handful of gravel, telling us that if anyone invaded the village again, we could embed the gravel into the livestock and turn them into war tools. Of course, it can also be embedded in the body of a deceased person who has just died, so that it can be resurrected temporarily. But whether it is put into the body of livestock or humans, it is only a short-term effect, after all, the human body cannot be fused with this black soul stone, and it will soon become the walking dead.

"As soon as we got the stone, we experimented on the wolfdog, and sure enough, the wolfdog immediately became vicious, but it seemed that he still had the sense not to harm his master. At that time, the mayor's daughter was at a funeral, and the mayor loved his daughter, and immediately embedded a stone in his daughter's body, and within an hour, the daughter really breathed again, but she didn't remember anything, although she was alive, she was like a dead person, and the mayor took her to the room, and he just looked at the portrait on the wall and wept. Within a few days, the wolfdogs were running around, and the mayor's daughter disappeared in one night. ”

"Later, Qingfeng Town never attacked us again, after all, we have collapsed, but as long as the young people in the town can get out of the town and have a good life outside, it is the greatest relief for the old people, and that handful of gravel, we also know that it is just self-deception, how can people be resurrected after death, but out of longing for the old people, we still obey the request of the villagers and turn the dead into this appearance. If you look at them, they have no human breath, and they have to rely on people to eat some porridge every day, but they can't hold it anymore. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have all explained to you in 1510, I just hope that you will not blame Heishui Town, we are also forced to do so, and we have not done anything that hurts heaven and reason, nor have we colluded with Hu Fengren. By the way, there is one more thing, we still have a few stones left, and the mayor told everyone that they must not be used again, but before we noticed that there was artillery fire in Qingfeng Town, we were forced to stuff a few stones into the wolf dog's body to defend ourselves. ”

"Ah yes", Wang Yuehan suddenly interjected, "It must be in Qingfeng Town, everyone asked me to perform, and the movement of smashing the mountains and rocks in the distance with fireballs." ”

"I don't know," Chunsheng continued, "There is nothing else to ask for in Blackwater now, as long as the old people can enjoy their old age in peace." ”

"Is Hu Fengren still here?" Qin Yunwan asked solemnly.

"I came here a month ago, and I also asked if I had alarmed the people of the military region. ”

"Do you know where they're stationed? Yu Fei asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Liuyun Mountain over there. Maybe it's there, we don't know the specifics, but at least Hu Feng's people left in that direction, it should be over there. ”

"Thank you for cooperating with our investigation," Qin Yundui said, "but please remember that your actions are conniving at the Hu Feng people, if they conceive evil things, no matter what the purpose, if they are really strong in the future, this is harming us." ”

"Remember. ”

"Okay guys, it's not too early," Qin Yunwan faced everyone, "Rest as soon as possible, tomorrow we will go to Liuyun Mountain, let's go back to the room." ”
