Chapter 30: A Strange Flame

The dead in Sanquan Village had to be parked at home for three days before they could be buried.

This avoids burying people who have only temporarily lost their vital signs, but who are not actually dead, in the grave.

For the three days of the mortuary, every night, the soul was to be sent.

Each village has its own place to send souls, usually in the mountains.

On the way to send the soul, the incense will be inserted from the door of the house to the mountain.

Lead the souls of the dead to where they should go.

On the night of the third day, Chen Beibei saw two very familiar faces.

One black, one white, standing quietly at the end of the soul-sending path.

"Sister Girl, did you see those two people?"

"Well, I'll talk about it when I get home."

The three-tailed fox had a very small voice, obviously not wanting to be discovered by those two people.

The air is filled with the faint smell of incense.

It all feels a little unreal, but Chen Beibei knows that those two "people" are real.

They were indeed there, but only themselves and the three-tailed fox could see it.

On the way back, everyone didn't speak, and it was very quiet.

The silence made Chen Beibei a little scared.

In this world, not only have youkai appeared, but even legendary ghosts have come to this world.

After sending the soul, Chen Beibei and the three-tailed fox didn't need to keep vigil, so they went home directly.

"Three-tailed fox, what are those two people we saw just now?"

Chen Beibei asked directly to the three-tailed fox.

In the Onmyoji, there are two humanoid gods, one is called the ghost makes the black, and the other is called the ghost makes the white.

He is responsible for leading the souls of the dead into the Yellow Springs.

The black sickle, the white spirit flag, Chen Beibei actually has the answer in his own heart.

However, he still chose to ask the three-tailed fox because he didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world.

These two people are actually the same thing as the legendary black and white impermanence.

There is such a thing.

Chen Beibei, I feel that at night, it will become very unsafe.

"They're ghosts, I've heard other youkai talk about it before."

Ghost?

The three-tailed fox can't lie to himself, right?

"Haven't you seen it?"

"No, I'm just a monster less than a hundred years old, and I've seen very few things......"

The three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei and said lightly.

Chen Beibei chose to believe the words of the three-tailed fox, after all, it was the second time he had seen those two "people", and every time it was after the dead.

This world, with Chen Beibei obtaining the strange system called Onmyoji, has slowly undergone some changes.

Maybe it's going to be scary, right?

……

Uncle was buried, and this matter is over.

In the empty house, only Chen Yan was left, and someone had just died in the family, although it was his father, he would still be afraid......

"Three-tailed fox, you sleep at home, I'll go and accompany Chen Yan."

When night fell, Chen Beibei was a little worried about Chen Yan.

"Well, master, be careful on the road."

Chen Beibei left his home, although Chen Yan was his cousin. But their home is still a little far away.

The most important thing is that to go to Chen Yan's house, you have to pass through a small forest.

Grove at night, pitch black, silent......

Chen Beibei had just determined that there were ghosts in this world, and he was a little scared in his heart.

"Go slower, go slower, can't run ......"

When Chen Beibei passed by the grove, he said secretly in his heart.

At night, there will be a lot of people scared.

In the old days, when the toilet was outside the house, some children were afraid to go to the toilet.

Chen Beibei has experienced it before, and the way to fight fear is not to run.

Because when you run, you will be more scared......

Quiet, super quiet.

At this time, Chen Beibei hopes to hear people's voices or see a little light.

Because then you won't be so scared.

As Chen Beibei wished, there was really light in the woods.

Two yellow dots of light appeared in mid-air, slowly swinging.

It's like two eyes, the eyes of something, not human, not animal.

Chen Beibei's back was cold, did he really encounter it?

"It's okay, it might just be the cat's corpse, emitting light."

Chen Beibei comforted himself in his heart, at this time, he needed to give himself courage.

When cats in Sanquan Village die, they are usually packed in bags and hung on trees.

So Chen Beibei directly thought that the yellow light spot in mid-air might be the light emitted by the cat's corpse.

"Even if it's a phosphorus fire from a cat's corpse, it's blue......"

Chen Beibei finally denied his conjecture.

The yellow point of light in front of me was still there, like a yellow flame.

It was pitch black, and there weren't any people.

Because of the light, the shadows of the trees also come out. The shadow was dancing on the ground, and Chen Beibei was a little panicked.

Let's run......

Out of instinct, Chen Beibei chose to run.

The small yellow flame was still in front of Chen Beibei's eyes, no matter how fast he ran.

Those two little flames always kept a certain distance from him.

What the hell is it?

Why did you come across such a thing?

Chen Beibei ran for a long time, but still did not reach Chen Yan's home.

It's not very far, why haven't you been running for so long, and you haven't arrived yet?

Could it be that I was too nervous, so I made a mistake in my judgment of time?

Chen Beibei looked at his mobile phone, and it was indeed a long time since he ran away.

Normally, even if you walk, you should go to Chen's house.

Chen Beibei looked around, it was pitch black, and there was no way to judge where he was.

It's so dark that it's abnormal, under normal circumstances, even at night, there will still be a little moonlight.

How is it possible to see nothing?

Chen Beibei turned on the flashlight that came with his mobile phone, and the two small yellow flames suddenly disappeared.

Chen Beibei borrowed the light of the flashlight and saw that Chen Yan's home was in front of him, Chen Yan stood quietly at the door, as if he knew that Chen Beibei was coming, and was deliberately waiting for him.

"Chen Yan, it's so late, why don't you go back to your room to sleep?"

Chen Yan didn't answer, still standing quietly with a hint of a smile on his face.

What is this for?

Could it be that Chen Yan is thinking about her father?

But...... You shouldn't laugh, right?

Although he felt a little weird, Chen Beibei still planned to walk towards Chen Yan.

Maybe it's worry, so he forgets to be afraid.

After all, he grew up with Chen Yan, and Chen Yan is still his cousin.

"Chen Beibei ......"

A voice suddenly sounded, very familiar, it was the voice of the uncle......

But Uncle is dead.

Chen Beibei followed the voice and looked at it, but he didn't see the uncle, when he turned around.

The vision of the eyes has changed.

Chen Yan's home is gone, and Chen Yan is also gone......

In front of him was a dry well, the same dry well that the uncle fell to death.
