Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Secret (I)
I didn't have time to be shocked, and before I could even see what was happening, I felt a figure flash in front of me, my eyes glazed, and then the whole person was thrown out.
"I'll Grass Your ......"
Before I could finish a swear word, I had fallen to the ground. The gossip mirror and rune flags that Old Man Yan had arranged earlier appeared, and the eight rune flags extended a golden light from eight directions, and quickly converged into the gossip mirror along the red rope tied to the rune flags, and at the same time reflected down from the mirror, forming a curtain of golden light on the edge of the eight rune flags, and quickly closing to form a closed space.
I have never seen such a shocking picture, and even the methods shown by Uncle Chen when dealing with the corpses are not as good as this formation, and while I am shocked in my heart, I even ignore the pain of the second fall.
Before the golden light curtain was completely closed, I caught a glimpse that the center of the formation was completely covered by the golden light poured from the Bagua Mirror, and the four corpse demons in the formation rose black smoke under the illumination of the golden light, and the green corpse hair covering the corpse demon was like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, and it was melted and burned at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the corpse demon let out an extremely tragic scream. On the other hand, the old man Yan saw that Jean was holding a sword in one hand and pinching a talisman in the other, like a solemn and majestic god against the golden light in the formation.
I only took a cursory glance, and the golden light curtain closed completely, and the doctor rushed out the moment the curtain closed, and then the four corpse demons and Old Man Yan completely disappeared from our field of vision.
I looked at everything in front of me in shock, I couldn't describe the mood at this time in words, although the doctor was calmer than me, but I was still shocked by the formation in front of me.
He stared at the eight rune flags and the golden curtain outside the formation for a while, and sighed: "Lang Huaxia, there are so many miracles that I really can't imagine, it's ridiculous I thought that only ancient doctors had surpassed the times, it seems that they are really sitting in a well and watching the sky." ”
I don't have as many feelings as doctors, and now I only have the most intuitive feeling in my mind: that is, these Taoist priests are awesome, too awesome.
The formation is closed, we can't see the situation inside, even if we know that Old Man Yan is very powerful, we still can't help but worry, after all, what is inside is not an ordinary thing, but the existence of four zombies that can be comparable to the essence of the zombie, you must know that a spirit zombie can make a region fall into a terrible nightmare, even Maoshan, which is famous for driving corpses, has a headache.
Fortunately, our worries were all unnecessary, and after waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, the golden light that shrouded the fork in the road suddenly dispersed, turned into a little light star, and dissipated.
Within the formation, Old Man Yan stood with his sword on his expressionless face, but there was no trace of the three corpse demons, only four more piles of ashes appeared on the ground. Without waiting for us to ask, Old Man Yan suddenly stomped his feet, his thin body leaped many feet high, raised his hand and took off the gossip mirror, and the eight glowing talisman flags also dimmed.
The doctor and I hurriedly walked up, and Old Man Yan looked at me with satisfaction, and when his gaze swept over the wound on my right arm, his face suddenly changed. I felt that his expression was wrong, so I hurriedly looked down and was shocked to find that the blood on my right arm was covered with a large amount of black gas.
"Copper bell, where is the copper bell before?" Old man Yan asked anxiously, looking at his reaction, he seemed to be more worried than me.
"It was shattered when I was in Yangzhen last night!" I replied truthfully.
The old man was immediately stunned, stunned for four or five seconds before he reacted, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say?" ”
I'm helpless, it's a bit complicated to say, and the current situation doesn't allow me to explain. Old man Yan's face changed several times in a row, he looked at the curse in my hand, then at the black wooden sword in his hand, sighed, as if he had made up his mind, raised his hand and handed me the wooden sword.
"Take it!"
I was stunned, I didn't understand what he meant, the old man's face suddenly sank, and he scolded: "If you take it, you can take it, what nonsense!" ”
The old man's tone was filled with real fire, and I felt inexplicable, but I still took the black wooden sword as he said.
The wooden sword was in my hand, but I didn't catch it at once, and my whole right hand fell along with the wooden sword, and I didn't stop until the tip of the sword was inserted into the bluestone three inches.
I looked at the black sword piercing into the bluestone tiles in disbelief, and I couldn't believe it. The touch coming from the hilt, I'm sure this sword is definitely wooden, but how can a fucking wooden sword be so heavy? Even if it is a copper sword made of pure copper of the same volume, it is impossible to be so heavy, what kind of wood is this?
I tried to pull it out a few times, but the wooden sword pierced into the brick didn't move, I don't know if it was stuck, or if I couldn't pick it up with my strength? After tossing for a long time, his head was already full of sweat, but Mu Jian still didn't react at all.
The corners of Old Man Yan's eyes twitched a few times, shook his head, sighed again, and held my hand with a slight force, and the black wood sword slammed off the ground.
This time I was prepared, and after Old Man Yan let go of his hand, I used enough strength to reach my arms and barely hold the black sword.
Before I could take a closer look at the appearance of the black sword, a cold breath continued to flow from the palm of my hand into my arm, and I turned my head to look at it, and I was surprised to find that the black qi from the wound had dissipated, and even the black lines wriggling in the flesh and blood were much more separated.
I looked at this change in amazement, and knew that this must have something to do with the black sword, and it seemed that the old man's black wooden sword had a similar effect to the dead fetus and the copper bell. I just wanted to ask the old man about the origin of the sword, but I heard a bustling sound from the other end of the street, and subconsciously looked back, and my face couldn't help but change, only to see a dense number of people on the street leading to the inn and the direction of the reincarnation bridge.
The figures were still some distance away, and in the darkness we could only see their silhouettes, but I was already certain that they were the ghostly corpses that had besieged the inn.
"My God, how did they come here?"
Old Man Yan's face was slightly gloomy, and he explained: "You must have been attracted by the blood of Doom on your body, and so are you, why didn't you say it earlier when the copper bell was broken?" Now it's troublesome, although these things are not as terrible as demon corpses, but there are too many of them, and they can consume us to death, you come with me! ”
As he spoke, he quickly put away the talisman flag and led us into a dark alley.
In such a situation, I can only describe the town where the moonlight can't penetrate at all, and the old man still doesn't allow the flashlight, isn't it fatal?
I was carrying the dead black wooden sword, I was so tired that I couldn't see, I fell several times in a row, I was so miserable, I couldn't help asking: "Senior, those zombies are chasing in the opposite direction to the Tulou, why don't we just go back to the Tulou to avoid and drill into this black alley?" Isn't that a search for sin? ”
Old man Yan snorted: "What do you know, the location of the tulou is special, you can't bring these things in, and it's not safe there, I'll take you to the safest place in the ancient town now." ”
The old man's words immediately made me feel uplifted, and I hurriedly asked, "Where is the safest place?" ”
"Hades Inn!"
I couldn't see the old man's expression in the darkness, but I could tell from the tone in which he said these four words that it seemed to be sneering, and I couldn't help but feel a stirring spirit.
'Hades Inn', why does this name sound so familiar? I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember anything.
Old man Yan is worthy of living in the ancient town for nearly a hundred years, and he knows the terrain of the ancient town well. About half an hour later, a glimmer of light appeared in front of the dark alley, it was moonlight, and ...... The glow of the candle flame.
Walking out of the black alley, the eyes suddenly opened up, and what appeared in front of us was the main street of the ancient town, and the place where the candle flame lit was twenty meters in front of us on the left.
Looking at the brightly lit three-story wooden building, I couldn't help but be stunned, and almost couldn't help but curse, the safest place in the whole ancient town that the old man said was the inn where we lived: Yinfu Inn.
Damn, I finally know why I have a familiar feeling after hearing the old man say that the Hall Inn, and the feeling is that he is not talking about 'Hades', but 'Yinfu'! Fuck it, it's an old man's accent, or maybe I'm too imaginative, the two names are not the same thing at all.
However, this place ...... Can it be called the safest place in town?
"Senior, you're not mistaken, right? This is the inn we live in, and there have been accidents recently, how can this be the safest place? ”
Old man Yan glanced back at me and snorted coldly: "Hmph, don't believe it, to tell you the truth, in the entire Yin Town, there is no safer place than this." ”
Seeing that the doctor and I were still confused, Old Man Yan explained: "This inn was specially chosen by us when we set up the array to isolate Yin and Yang, it occupies the auspicious position of the two towns of Yin and Yang, and it is the only place that can still connect with heaven and earth and produce yang energy, and the eye of the entire formation is also here." The inside and outside of the inn are equipped with special means to restrain evil spirits, in order to suppress the evil energy and resentment of the ancient town with the help of this only yang eye, and it is also the last place of refuge for the wrong intruders. ”
The doctor and I were both stunned by Uncle Chen's words, the inn turned out to be the shelter left by the grandfather, and the only safe place in the ancient town? How is this possible, if this is really a safe place as Old Man Yan said, why do we have a series of accidents and even deaths after we move in?
I told my doubts, and the old man immediately sneered: "Accident? Do you really think it was an accident? ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Humph! There is no doubt about the safety of the inn, and to tell you the truth, what happened to you was not an accident, but someone secretly pushed it. Think about it, what would be your reaction when you encountered those terrifying accidents? ”
Without thinking about it, I said: "Find a way to leave the ancient town, even if you can't leave the ancient town, you have to stay away from the inn......"
As soon as I finished speaking, the doctor's face changed: "Senior, you mean that someone knows that the inn is a safe place, so they deliberately forced us out of the inn?" ”
"The children can be taught!" Old man Yan nodded and glanced at the doctor with satisfaction.
I immediately asked, "Wait, who is going to do everything possible to get us out of the inn to die?" Does it do him any good? ”
Without waiting for Old Man Yan to speak, the doctor looked at me with a complicated expression and sighed: "Reporter, haven't you thought of it?" After leaving the inn, we are in danger at all times, and if someone dies because of the curse of the ancient town, who will be able to achieve the goal? ”
After the doctor's reminder, I immediately understood, and my heart immediately became cold, and my impression of Luo Yi became even more unfamiliar.
The doctor is right, according to what Old Man Yan said, the balance of the seal of the node has reached the limit, and if someone dies in the ancient town, the balance of the two towns of Yin and Yang will be broken, and then the feng shui eye will be out of control, and the seal of the node in the same position as the feng shui eye will also be affected and broken. Open the node, isn't this what the Heavenly Witch Cult expects?
"Let's open some! Maybe she's just trying to take advantage of you from start to finish......"
"No, it's not!" I interrupted the doctor, remembering how I first met Loy, which was definitely not something that could have been arranged, and that Loy had given me a lot of help at the time, even though we didn't even know what each other looked like at the time.
The doctor also knew that he couldn't persuade me, so he had to sigh, and then Old Man Yan stepped forward and handed me a blood-stained memory card.
I looked at this modern memory card, and some of them couldn't react, and the doctor's reaction was similar to mine, and I couldn't figure out why a 'ancient' who had been isolated from the world since the Republic of China had a modern electronic memory card in his hand.
The old man showed a rare smile and explained: "Some people have used it in the previous batches, this thing is very magical, it looks very small, but it contains a lot of things, some like the mustard seed Sumeru recorded in the Taoist scriptures. This was found in the fat man's mouth, and when I found him, he had been gnawed by the demon corpse to a single head, and this thing was so precious to him, and there should be something very important in it, which might be useful to you. ”
The doctor and I looked at each other, and suddenly wanted to laugh, but the thought that the card had been taken out of that head made me feel a chill.
The old man is right, Li Fatzi must keep this card even if he dies, there must be something extraordinary in it, but we didn't have the camera with us, and we are still in the inn, right now, I will definitely question Luo Yi face to face when I return to the inn.
Thinking of this, I was anxious, so I picked up the doctor and walked to the inn.
When I arrived near the inn, I found that the situation was not right, the door of the inn was wide open, although the lights were bright, but no one could see it, the wooden walls outside the inn were full of yellow talismans, which were exactly the same as the talisman array used by Chen Bo to fight the corpses last night, but most of these talismans were turned into ashes.
A sense of foreboding suddenly surged in my heart, and I hurried over. The place in front of the inn was a mess, with a lot of broken corpses and a lot of black ash, and it looked like it had just experienced a fierce battle.
Old man Yan stepped forward, stared at the rune array around the inn, frowned, and muttered: "If you don't use the rune array, those things won't pass, and this Tiangang rune array...... This, can this still be called the Tiangang Fu Array? Alas, it seems that in the past 100 years, Zhengqian has been weakened terribly! ”
