My heart was cold, I knew that I was going to suffer, although I knew that this was an illusion, but I was still scared out of the white sweat.

Wang Xi told me before that they speculated that Tulou can make people see what they desire most and what they fear the most in the environment.

I didn't have time to think about it, because the monster staring at me had cracked its jaw, stretched its neck out like a giraffe, and bit down on my head.

I rolled out of the raft almost reflexively, and as soon as I rolled out, I was shocked, this was on the raft instead of flat ground, and the space was limited, so I had to roll into the water. Sure enough, at the same time as my thoughts arose, I was already in the water, and the icy feeling was almost like being in ice water.

The cold was not the most important thing at this time, as soon as I entered the water, I immediately struggled away from the raft, and I didn't even dare to turn back, but I couldn't hide from it, and I swam out less than three meters, and the surrounding lake water had been stirred up by a terrible force, forming a whirlpool and sucking me back.

In a moment of horror, I turned my head to look, and I was immediately frightened, only to see that the whirlpool was a huge black mouth, engulfing everything around me. Just as I was about to be swept into the whirlpool, a hand reached out out of nowhere, grabbed me, and suddenly everything around me changed, I was dizzy, and my eyes became pitch black.

Bang Bang Bang! In a daze, I felt that I had been hit hard in the mouth a few times, my face was swollen, and I suddenly came to my senses.

The first thing that caught my eye were two solemn faces, and I looked at them for a moment before I recognized them as doctors and old men. I reflexively sat up, stared at the old man, and then turned my gaze to the doctor, full of doubts.

I remember that I fell into the water in the illusion just now, and was almost swallowed by the behemoth in the water, and at the critical moment, a hand pulled me out of the huge mouth in the water.

The doctor saw my confusion, patted me on the shoulder for comfort, and whispered, "Don't worry, it's all right, thanks to my senior, if it weren't for him, you might have been lost." ”

Hearing this, I looked at the old man and wanted to thank him, but I saw that he was looking at me with a very strange look, as if he were looking at a monster, which made me feel uncomfortable.

"Who the hell are you?" I was uncomfortable with the other party's eyes, and almost killed me before adding him, so I simply asked directly. Asking for your identity so bluntly is tantamount to telling the other party that I don't believe you anymore, and you must give me an explanation on this issue, otherwise we will tear our faces.

As soon as I spoke, the doctor walked up behind me quietly, to prevent the old man from suddenly turning his face and attacking me. However, the doctor was obviously overconcerned, and the old man did not react much, sat down opposite me with his hands behind his back, and drank tea from a white porcelain teacup on the table.

It was only then that I realized that I was in a quaint wooden house, which was very neatly furnished and spotless, and it was clear that this was the residence of the old man who had chased the corpse.

Seeing me staring around the room, the old man took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Don't look at it, this is my residence!" ”

I was shocked, could this old guy be able to read minds?

"I don't know how to read minds, but I've lived a long time, and I know how to read words and feelings." As he spoke, the old man put the teacup back on the table, and a hint of an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Now I was really speechless, and I didn't dare to think about it anymore, just stared at the old man, waiting for his answer.

Seeing that I had regained my mind so quickly, the old man had a bored expression on his face and said, "It doesn't matter to you who I am, you just need to know that I won't harm you, and that's enough." ”

It's good that the old man didn't mention this stubble, but when he mentioned it, I immediately became angry: "Won't it hurt me?" Was it the ghost who tricked me last night? If I hadn't been blessed with a great life, I would have died over there a long time ago! ”

"Oh? What you said reminded me, and I wondered how you got back from there. ”

Seeing that this old guy didn't have the slightest consciousness of being exposed, but asked me with a surprised face, I immediately exploded, and my heart said that you are too fucking thick-skinned, right?

"Don't change the subject, who are you, what happened to those corpses last night?"

The old man sighed helplessly, picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea, I was almost angry, I thought he would continue to shake me, but no, after drinking this sip of tea, the old man looked at me with complicated eyes and said: "I've waited so long, you are finally here!" ”

I was stunned, wait for me, what does this mean? Just as he wanted to speak, the old man took the lead and continued: "Don't you want to know my identity? You tell me who you are first, and I'll tell you who I am. ”

Seeing that the old man still wanted to detour with me, I was angry in my heart, and said okay, when I finished talking about my identity, I will see if you have anything to say at that time. So I quickly reported my name and door, and then I suddenly thought of a question, whether it was the old lady Lin and the corpse mover I met in Aji Village, or the Lin Dongyang I met in Fengyang, and Uncle Chen of the Zhengqian faction, they were all people of the same era, similar in age, and they all knew my grandmother, and the mysterious corpse mover in front of me who didn't know the origin looked younger than Uncle Chen, but he was also a contemporary of his grandmother, would he also know grandma?

Thinking of this, I specially added: "My grandmother was the goddess of Si Miao Miao Village, her surname is Miao Fengxian, and she is also known as Miao Xiangu." ”

I thought that reporting my grandmother's name might surprise the old man who chased the corpse, but I didn't expect him to even blink his eyelids, "Miao Xiangu? Haven't heard of it, what, is it famous? ”

This is the first time that the name of grandma has not shocked the other party, I suspect that the old man is pretending to be calm, but his demeanor is not shocked, not like pretending. I was so depressed that my fists were full enough to kill a cow, only to hit a sponge.

"I haven't heard of Miao Fengxian, but I have heard a little about the Si Miao lineage in Miao Wu, your surname is Zhang, you must know Zhang Tianxing, right?"

His words were like a stone thrown into the calm and waveless water, which suddenly stirred up a thousand waves, if it was before, I definitely don't know who Zhang Tianxing is, but not long ago, my grandmother just told me about my grandfather, Zhang Tianxing, is my grandfather!

I couldn't hide the excitement in my heart, and asked urgently: "That's my grandfather, do you know him?" ”

The old man who chased the corpse smiled, and instead of answering, he asked an irrelevant question: "How old are you this year?" ”

I didn't understand what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but I replied, "Twenty-three!" ”

"Twenty-three, it's already twenty-three, hey, time flies so fast!" The old man muttered in his mouth, looked up at the ceiling, and was a little distracted, I called him twice, and he came back to his senses, looking at me, and there was an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

"My identity has been told to you, and now it's your turn."

The old man didn't continue to change the topic this time, picked up the teacup and took a sip, his face returned to the unfathomable expression he had before, and said calmly: "The surname is Yan, the name is not Taoist, you also saw it last night, I am a Taoist priest and a corpse chaser." ”

Looking at the old man's indifferent expression, I was a little speechless, and my heart said What is the difference between you and not saying this? So he asked him, "Why did you lie to me to die last night?" ”

Yan Wudao glanced at me lightly and said, "It's all up to you, if you hadn't delayed my time, those Yin people would have already been sent to reincarnation by me, how could there be so much chaos?" ”

I was speechless when he said this, which seemed to be the case last night.

"Even so, you can't hurt me, can you?"

Old man Yan sneered, "Hurt you? To tell you the truth, if you hadn't lured those Yin people over there last night, this town would no longer exist. As he spoke, Old Man Yan pointed to the doctor: "He, the little girl with you, and your group of people, none of them will survive." ”

Although I think it is more likely that the old man is alarmist, but if I think about it carefully, if all those hundreds of zombies become such powerful corpse demons, there is really no pressure at all to kill all the people in the tour group in one night, and I suddenly don't know how to answer.

Seeing that I was speechless, Old Man Yan continued: "This is not the most terrifying, once the number of Yin people staying here exceeds a certain number, that thing will be born, and at that time, not only here, but the entire Shenzhou will face a catastrophe!" ”

Old man Yan's words made my heart skip a beat, how could this way of speaking be somewhat similar to the legends of my ancestors I heard a hundred years ago?

I hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"A terrifying being, terrifying enough to affect normal space-time."

"Affecting time and space? It's not that exaggerated, you should be talking about nodes in the node forbidden - the ground, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, Old Man Yan suddenly looked at me, his face changed, but he was quickly relieved, "Since you have arrived here, it is not surprising to know this, presumably you should have experienced more than one node forbidden land?" ”

I was taken aback by this, "You, how do you know?" ”

Old Man Yan smiled faintly and explained: "This is very simple, the curse of Doom on your arm is the fate of your Zhang family, and Doom has a very close connection with the node forbidden land. You are now twenty-three years old, and the source of misfortune will either not occur, or it will inevitably intensify, and only what is in the forbidden land can be contained. Last night, I saw that the source of the curse had appeared in your hand, which proved that the source of doom on your body had attacked, but the source of doom was suppressed, which means that you have been to other forbidden places, and you have also found something to suppress the source of doom. ”

I looked at Old Man Yan, and suddenly felt that I was not facing an old man, but an old monster who had lived for countless years, this kind of keen insight was really terrifying.

"Even if I've been to other forbidden places, so what? You haven't said if it's a node or not? ”

This time, Old Man Yan didn't sell Guan Zi again, and his expression became very solemn, "You guessed well, but it's not all right." If it's just a simple node, you don't have to worry about it, because there is a very powerful seal left here that can seal the node. But the location of the ancient town is very special, it happens to be located on a kind of feng shui eye that cannot exist in reality. ”

"Is it the eye of yin and yang?" The doctor interjected and asked, and I looked at him nervously, it was this feng shui eye that we were looking for now, because this was the only chance for us to leave.

Old man Yan was not too surprised that we knew this feng shui eye, nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, it is indeed the eye of yin and yang." ”

"This kind of feng shui eye is very weird, it can confuse time and space, reverse yin and yang, everything within the influence of feng shui eye will be stripped into two sides, you can understand it as looking in the mirror, there is a you outside the mirror, there is also a you in the mirror, and these two you are real, no one is true or false, but the same person is separated into two opposing levels."

I instantly thought of the mirror world I had guessed before, but I didn't expect the guess to be true, there really is a mirror world here.

Old man Yan took the shock on my face as a normal reaction, and continued: "This kind of feng shui eye cannot exist in the world, and even if it exists, its opposite side is not tolerated by the Great Dao, so in the beginning, the special feng shui influence in this place could not affect the things that exist in reality until more than a hundred years ago......"

From the mouth of the old man, I learned the reason for the formation of the Eye of Yin and Yang, and also knew the biggest secret of the ancient town.

More than a hundred years ago, at the same point in time, it was the time when the Nine Lotus God Cult and the Wudao Alliance were at a standoff. At that time, the ancient town was still a place of peaceful residence with beautiful mountains and rivers and simple folk customs, because it was remote, the traffic was blocked, and it was relatively closed, but it was protected from the war.

However, in the kind of world at that time, no matter where they hid, they could never be isolated from the world, and the ancient town was still targeted after all, and it was not one force that was eyed at the ancient town, but two opposing local warlords.

These two warlords are of equal strength, and they have been fighting each other for a long time, and neither of them can help the other. Later, the ancient town was discovered, because it was not affected by the war before, the residents of the ancient town lived a rich life and accumulated a lot of wealth.

So the two warlords began a long-term struggle around the ancient town, and the ancient town was drawn into the endless war, and the people complained. Later, the mayor of the town took refuge in one of the warlords, which was equivalent to making the ancient town take a stand, and the other warlord immediately launched a fierce revenge, but with the help of the warlord who the mayor had taken refuge in, the revenge was not successful.

Just when the mayor and the townspeople thought that they would not be tormented by war in the future, the warlord, who could not retaliate, led his team to attack the ancient town at night, sweeping the ancient town away, and before leaving, a fire burned the ancient town to the ground. The most outrageous thing is that the warlord cut off the only way out of the ancient town when he evacuated, and the more than 3,000 residents of the town were all besieged by the fire and turned into ashes along with the ancient town.

If things only come to this, there will be no later things, but the terrain of the ancient town is extremely special, although the original Yin and Yang Eye exists, but it cannot affect the reality by the suppression of the Great Dao, but the resentful soul is different. More than 3,000 townspeople in the ancient town died unjustly, and after their deaths, the grievances of more than 3,000 undead gathered on the feng shui eye, making this place a place where the avenue was abandoned, and the feng shui eye was no longer suppressed, and became a real leyline pattern in reality.

Coincidentally, there is no book, and it seems that these are not scary enough, and another even more terrifying thing happens to overlap with Feng Shui Eye, that is, the node of the node forbidden land.

The three came together, causing the feng shui eye to change and become a space of its own, and with the blessing of the feng shui eye, time and space were affected, and an extremely powerful evil spirit was derived from the node. Fortunately, the scope of the influence of the feng shui eye is limited, making the ancient town a closed space, and the evil spirits cannot escape, but once the people from the outside world enter by mistake, it is extremely difficult to get out, especially after the evil spirits wake up, the balance of the feng shui eye will be stronger, and the chance to go out is even slimmer, the only chance is to break the closed space of the feng shui eye, but in this way, the evil spirits will be released, and the world will be miserable, becoming a dilemma.
