Temple.

In a small temple, sandalwood is swirling, and the sound of wooden fish is unhurried.

A woman in a white dress ran into the temple panting, as if there was something urgent.

"Guan Hu, you're back...... Then that Onmyoji has already left Qinghe Town, right? ”

The monk who sat in front of the Buddha and knocked on the wooden fish did not turn his head, his eyes were still closed, and his voice was not loud when he spoke, as if he was talking to himself.

"Master, you guessed it right, the Onmyoji has already left."

The woman in the white dress said softly.

This woman in a white dress was transformed from the white fox sent by the monk to monitor Chen Beibei before.

"Now that he's gone, I'll have to go."

"Where is the master going?"

"Qinghe Town, stop those ghosts from entering ......"

The candle flame in front of the Buddha flickered gently, and the light shining on the monk's face was bright and dim.

"That'...... What about it? ”

The woman in the white dress pointed to a Buddha statue and asked the monk.

"Guan Hu, today's night is exceptionally dark, and the ghosts and monsters hovering around Qinghe Town have been waiting for this day. Once they are allowed to enter Qinghe Town, it will be difficult to get them out again. ”

"But if he breaks the seal, it will be very troublesome as well."

The woman dressed in white walked up to the monk, then knelt down and continued, "Our task is only to maintain the power of the seal and not let him escape, it has been the case for generations, and the ancestors have fulfilled their responsibilities, and it has been almost 1,000 years now. Does the master want to be negligent at this time? ”

The monk still knocked on the wooden fish unhurriedly, not showing a hint of urgency.

Don't be surprised, everything is empty.

Nothing seemed to really disturb the wooden fish in his hand.

"Guan Hu, don't say it anymore, it has been sealed, as for when it will break through the seal, no one can be sure. Now that the people of Qinghe Town are in trouble, do you want me to sit idly by? ”

The monk slowly stopped tapping the wooden fish, and there was a slight hint of excitement in his tone.

The woman in the white dress looked worried: "Master, I'm still a little worried......"

"In that case, then you can stay. You still watch the seal, don't let it escape, and I'll go to Qinghe Town to protect the residents of Qinghe Town, so it's okay, right? ”

After speaking, the monk got up and left the temple, blending into the dark night.

And the woman in the white dress stared at the Buddha statue in front of her.

The Buddha statue, which was originally made of wood, seemed to show a strange smile at a certain moment.

"Wouldn't it? The owner is gone now, don't have a problem......"

The woman in the white dress prayed in a low voice.

……

Early morning.

The air in Sanquan Village is very good, and Chen Beibei and Chen Yan got up early.

The two of them walked around together, looking at the places that were once familiar.

"Chen Beibei, it seems that something has happened to Luoying City......"

When Chen Yan picked up the phone, he suddenly said, which made Chen Beibei a little unresponsive.

"What's going on?"

"It's dead, and it seems that there is more than one, Chen Beibei, look at the chat history in the group......"

Chen Yan looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

Chen Beibei took out his mobile phone, and then clicked on the Luoying City chat group. A lot of news poured out, interspersed with many pictures.

The black night sky, the flowing river, the dark corners, and the bustling flow of people, some translucent figures are everywhere.

Chen Beibei is too familiar with this kind of figure.

After all, Chen Beibei had seen a lot of them before, and those translucent spirits were undoubtedly ghosts.

However, there is no way for ordinary people to see ghosts, let alone take pictures of them with their mobile phones, so Chen Beibei still has some doubts.

"These pictures can't be fake, right?"

Chen Beibei asked in the chat group of Luoying City, although Chen Beibei knew that it was not very good to ask this, but in order to get an answer, Chen Beibei still asked directly.

"You may not be in Falling Cherry Blossom City, how can the people in Falling Cherry Blossom City still ask if the picture is fake?"

"yes, yes, even those photos with translucent figures look fake. But what about those photos of the accident scene? Is that bright red blood, and dead people fake? ”

Obviously, some of the people in the chat group in Luoying City were angry at Chen Beibei's questioning.

But it's understandable, if they're suffering.

"Chen Yan, it seems that something may really have happened to Luoying City."

Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and said slowly.

Chen Yan let out a long sigh of relief: "Yes, we just left Luoying City and had an accident, it's really dangerous." ”

However, there was not the slightest look on Chen Yan's face, happy that he had escaped this catastrophe.

On the contrary, Chen Beibei and Chen Yan are both very worried now.

After all, they have lived in Qinghe Town for so long, and they are also very familiar with Luoying City, and it is indeed worth worrying about such a thing happening in a familiar place.

But at this time, I really remembered the monk.

The night before leaving, the monk who appeared at his house.

The monk and Chen Beibei talked about something he hadn't thought about, but now it seems that the monk didn't seem to lie to Chen Beibei.

Although something happened to Falling Sakura City now, there must have been something going on in Qinghe Town, which is so close to Falling Sakura City.

"Chen is tired, or ...... I'll go back and see. ”

Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and said to her.

At that time, the monk asked Chen Beibei not to leave Qinghe Town, saying that once he left, the town would be invaded by those ghosts, and Chen Beibei didn't believe it at all.

Because in his opinion, many ghosts actually have the same good intentions as humans.

And Chen Beibei's impression of that monk is really bad.

"Are you going to Qinghe Town?"

Chen Yan asked.

"Yes, if Qinghe Town is invaded by ghosts, I may be able to help if I go over."

"It's going to be dangerous now, right?"

"I have some talismans, as well as the Snow Maiden, Gu Won Bird, they can protect me, there should be no problem."

"Then I'll go with you."

"No, you finally came back for the New Year, so don't go over. It should be enough to have me and the Shikikami. ”

Obviously, Chen Beibei didn't intend to let Chen Yan go with him.

After all, the situation in Qinghe Town is not very clear now, how many ghosts are there, and how powerful are those ghosts?

They still don't know anything about these Chen Beibei, so it's still very risky to go to Qinghe Town now.

Chen Beibei has a style god who can protect him, and there are all kinds of talismans that can be exchanged from the system, so there is no problem in dealing with ordinary ghosts.

Chen Yan is different, she is just an ordinary girl.

If you encounter an evil ghost, you may not be able to resist.

So Chen Beibei will not let Chen get tired of going no matter what.

"Chen Yan, just wait for us here. I'll be back when I'm done dealing with things over there. ”

Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and said to her.

Chen Yan nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you this time." ”

Chen Beibei didn't expect that Chen Yan would hear his words so easily.

After all, Chen Yan was naughty and mischievous in the past, and he would never listen to himself.

"Okay, in that case, then let's go to your house quickly, and I can bring all the youkai over."

"Well, let's go then."

Soon, Chen Beibei and Chen Yan returned to Chen Yan's home.

The youkai are also playing in the room.

In Sanquan Village, the monsters can only play in Chen Yan's house, and cannot go out, so as not to be seen by others.

This is the rule that Chen Beibei set for them, and they all followed it seriously.

"Snow girl, Gu Won Bird, Firefly, Tu Wall, Dream Eater Tapir Come back to Qinghe Town with me."

"Master, what's wrong?"

Firefly looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

"The ghosts in Qinghe Town have invaded, I want to help them......"

"Is that so? Everything is at the master's command! ”

Firefly said seriously.

"Master, why is there no name on me? Don't you need me to go with you? ”

Zashiki asked aggrievedly.

Xiaoluo bride lay on the palm of the boy and looked at Chen Beibei with wide eyes, and also looked aggrieved: "And me, and me!" Big brother, you forgot about me......"

"Zashiki boy, Xiaoluo, you two are not combat monsters, so don't go. After all, the current Qinghe town may be very dangerous. ”

Chen Beibei touched the head of the boy and said softly.

Zashiki Boy had already suffered too much in her lifetime, and Chen Beibei was unwilling, she was still fighting for herself.

What's more, Zashiki boy doesn't have much combat power.

The main function of Zashiki boy is to make the people around him lucky and rich.

Such a monster should stay in a relatively peaceful environment.

"Master, what about me?"

The bride continued.

"Aren't you, don't you like to spend time with Zashiki Boy the most? So you can stay and play with Zashiki for a few days. We'll be back soon. ”

"Well, the master ......"

The bride replied.

After Chen Beibei arranged the Zashiki boy and Xiaoluo bride, after saying goodbye to his family, he left Sanquan Village with the Shikami.

I didn't expect to leave in such a hurry.

After all, it had only been a day since Chen Beibei returned to Sanquan Village.

But in any case, it can be regarded as returning to his hometown.

……

Qinghe Town!

A monk in a red robe walks along the river in the small town of Qinghe.

The monk's eyes were always fixed on the clear water, and in the river, there were faint but pedestrian reflections everywhere.

"The revival of the aura and the coming of a hundred ghosts are really a once-in-a-century spectacle."

The monk raised his head, and there was not a trace of light in the dark night sky.

The black figure that obscured the sky and the sun had completely concealed the moon and stars.

But the water can still be seen very clearly, and even through the clear water, you can see the stones under the river.

It was as if the whole river itself had a faint glow.

"Master Haifang, come out!"

The monk said lightly as the river flowed slowly.

Then, a chubby fish-headed monster appeared in the middle of the river.

"I'll leave it to you in the east."

"Hmm."

After the monk finished speaking, he did not stop, but walked towards the back mountain of his Qinghe town.

The mountain behind the small town of Qinghe is the place where the dead are buried.

In the middle of the night, no one usually goes.

Especially this one, on a weird night, there is not a trace of light.

Both Qinghe towns fell into a kind of dead silence.

The monk just walked slowly, with no lanterns in his hands and no candles.

The thing that illuminates is one, a red lantern ghost floating in mid-air.

Or what leads the way, after all, the monk doesn't seem to have to look at the road under his feet, but keeps looking ahead and walking.

In the middle of the night, if someone walks into the forest, it usually frightens some sensitive birds and makes a call.

However, this night did not.

Not only was there no sound of birds, but there was also no barking of dogs in the alleys.

After the monk came to the back mountain of Qinghe Town, he walked around the back mountain of Qinghe Town, and kept chanting something in his mouth.

Finally, I came to the bottom of a maple tree.

In winter, the maple tree has withered to the point that only the trunk and branches remain.

The monk gently stroked the trunk of the maple tree with his hand, and the branches of the maple tree shook slightly, and then red maple leaves grew like fire.

"Don't touch me!"

A woman's voice rang out, with a hint of displeasure.

"Momiji, I'll leave the west to you."

"Yes!"

The monk, as before, did not stay, but left immediately.

This time, the monk went to the south of Qinghe Town, and the southernmost part of Qinghe Town was the peach forest.

Soon the monk walked into the peach forest.

The monk walked to a clearing, then crouched down and dug into the ground with a stick, as if looking for something that had once been buried.

The red lantern ghost floats silently in the air, illuminating the monk.

I don't know how long it took.

The lantern ghost's flames suddenly brightened, but they immediately returned to normal.

The whole night was still silent. A large hole had been dug in the clearing.

The monk removed a coffin from the hole.

Originally, it was just a flat land, which didn't look like a grave at all, but a coffin was dug up by a monk.

It's as if this monk knew from the beginning that the coffin was underneath.

The light of the lantern ghost's fire shone on the coffin, and it could be seen that the coffin was not large, and it should be, not like an adult's.

The monk opens the coffin.

It would be more accurate to say that there was a man with a bruised face, or rather a boy, because the boy in the coffin was probably only sixteen or seventeen years old.

The monk recited some incomprehensible incantations to the boy.

Then the child's eyes opened.

"Brother Hopping, I'll leave the south to you......"

"Hmm!"
