Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Head

After learning that Luo Yi was most likely from the Heavenly Witch Cult, I just wanted to return to the inn immediately and ask her about it in person.

In the time that followed, although we still had many unsolved mysteries, a strong sense of loss diluted my thirst for the secrets behind the ancient town. My mind was full of Luoyi, the person was completely in a trance, and I was in no mood to ask again, the doctor's mood did not fluctuate too much, but he talked a lot to the old man, but I didn't listen to it at all.

I don't know how long it took, but it was dark outside the window, and the doctor patted me, and I woke up from that trance.

The conversation between the two had long ended, and the old man didn't know when he had changed into a white linen dress with his head, the same as what he wore when he drove the corpse, the doctor also had an extra linen bag in his hand, and the other hand held the spirit banner that the old man Yan used when he drove the corpse, looking at this posture, the two seemed to be ready to do something.

I wondered what I was going to do with this. The doctor told me that four of the seven corpse demons last night ran away and hid in the town, and the corpse tide surrounding the inn was probably caused by the corpse demons, and the old man Yan said that this is the cause of our middle and lower levels, and we need to work hard to finish it, so now we have to follow the old man to catch the corpse demon.

I was stunned, and the first thought I had after I reacted was that this old man was crazy, let me go and catch the corpse, what is the difference between this and taking a meat bun to fight a dog? I immediately said no, pulled the doctor aside, and whispered, "I said buddy, are you crazy?" The old man has lived for more than 150 years, and he is still a Taoist monk, and people are professional in dealing with these strange things. ”

Hearing this, the doctor patted me and said, "No, don't look at the old man's indifferent speech, if it is dangerous to act with him, he will not care." Besides, this thing really can't be done without you, the old man said that only you can lure out the corpse demon, otherwise those guys have the intention to hide, and they really can't find it. ”

"Damn, if you can't find it, you can't find it, what does this have to do with us, can we go on an adventure with him? If you don't go, you won't go to death. ”

Seeing my resolute attitude, the doctor helped his glasses and continued to persuade me with a headache: "Reporter, the old man also said just now, since we entered the ancient town, we have all been cursed, if we can't leave, it is necessary to stay here for a long time, those corpse demons are definitely the biggest danger factor, if you don't get rid of them now, it will definitely be a big trouble in the future, it is better to take advantage of the old man now to take action and get rid of that thing." ”

The doctor's words made me dumbfounded, yes, if we continue to stay in the ancient town, under the influence of the curse, accidents will follow, and it will become more and more dangerous, let the corpse demon go now, and when we face the corpse demon alone in the future, wouldn't it be even more useless?

Thinking of this, even if I was reluctant, I had to agree.

Old man Yan seemed to be sure that I would agree, and he was not polite at all, and after handing me a burlap bag that had been prepared, he turned around and left without saying a word.

I sighed, the bag was dead, and I didn't know what it contained, and I was not in the mood to open it at this time, so I put on my own backpack, picked up the bag given by the old man and followed the doctor out.

Although most of the area is occupied by the square, the wooden buildings surrounding the square are also quite large, with at least forty or fifty rooms on each floor.

There are a total of six ladders to go upstairs in the whole tulou, one for each of the four corners, and one for each of the two long sides of the square, and the old man lives on the third floor, which is located above the ladder diagonally opposite the main entrance of the tulou. In such a large building, only the old man Yan lives alone, which is equivalent to the entire tulou is his private property, if it is outside, the old man is definitely a rich man who is worth a lot of money.

While thinking wildly, we followed the old man through the carved wooden corridor on the third floor, and the railing offered a panoramic view of the entire square below. There are lanterns on the beams and pillars above the corridor every three meters or so, but the lanterns are not lit at this time, and the whole building is still shrouded in deep darkness, only the faint moonlight pouring over the square reflects in, vaguely illuminating the scene in the corridor.

If all the lanterns in the corridors of the four-story building are lit, the whole tulou must be brightly lit and bright, and the scene must be very prosperous and magnificent, but at the moment, the dark and hazy tulou gives me only a strange and gloomy feeling.

The doors of all the rooms we passed through were locked, and the locks were sealed with yellow runes painted with cinnabar, giving people a sense of weirdness and mystery, and they didn't know what was locked inside.

It didn't take long for us to walk down the stairs and come to the bluestone corridor on the first floor, beyond which was the bluestone paved square, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps when I remembered what I had just encountered in the square.

When I came to the square, the doctor also remembered what happened before, told me to be careful, don't enter the square, and said that if it wasn't for Old Man Yan to rescue me just now, I might have become an idiot.

I also knew that the square was not simple, but I didn't know what was strange about it, so I asked Old Man Yan: "Senior, what is the origin of this square, and how can it be so evil?" ”

The reason for asking this is that I am really curious about the secret of the square, and second, the doctor and I guessed that the so-called Eye of Yin and Yang Jiao Tai is in Tulou, and it is very likely that it is the location of the square, but listening to what Old Man Yan just said, the Eye of Yin and Yang Jiao Tai does not seem to be here.

Maybe it's for the sake of my grandfather's affection, or maybe we're still helping him now, but he was also worried that we would break into the square again without knowing the depths, so he explained: "This place is amazing, its location is very special, whether it is Yin Town or Yang Town, there is this place, and this location is both the location of the Feng Shui Eye and the location of the node, but the real node is in Yang Town, this is just a position with the same nature independent of the Feng Shui Eye, and I don't know what it is." ”

"In the last hundred years, I have tried many times in it, and I have found that the magic of the square is not only to see what you hate or love, but under certain conditions, it can even make you enter a state beyond the double nightmare, where what you know and feel is no longer limited to fantasy, but what has happened or will happen."

The doctor didn't know much about this, and after listening to it, his face was full of doubts, and he asked Old Man Yan what the triple nightmare was.

When Old Man Yan and the doctor explained the level of dreams, my heart was already turbulent. The Taoist priest told me about the level of dreams, in the eyes of Xuanmen Wudao, dreams are divided into five layers, nightmares are even more terrifying, the second layer of dreams can already threaten people's lives, and the second nightmare is even more terrifying. According to the Taoist priest, beyond the state of the second nightmare, the nightmare involved in the nightmare has gone beyond cognition, not only scientific cognition, even witchcraft, can not understand this dream state.

The third nightmare can also be seen as a dangerous version of the third-layer dream, the third-level dream has already involved the future, and the fourth layer is the past life, if this square really has this ability, it will be terrible.

On the other hand, after listening to the layers of the dream, the doctor was very surprised, as if he had discovered a new continent, a situation that I would only see when he discovered some kind of novel drug.

Old man Yan didn't say much, just told us not to go in again, and he also warned me in particular, but didn't say why. Although I wondered, I saw that the old man didn't mean to explain, so I didn't ask again.

The three of them did not delay any longer and quickly walked out of the tulou.

The ancient town under the cover of night is very quiet, giving people a strange feeling, perhaps it was last night that I witnessed the terrible picture of the corpse tide surrounding the inn, at this time I look at the ancient town, I always feel that there are countless pairs of eyes watching in the dark places around, which makes people unconsciously rise a coolness.

Until now, I still don't understand what Old Man Yan is going to do, he just walks vigorously in front of him, and he doesn't speak, I am vigilant about the situation around me, and I anxiously whisper to the doctor where is this going?

The doctor also shook his head, saying that he didn't know, it seemed that the old man just told him that he was going to catch the corpse demon, and did not specify the specific location.

After walking for more than ten minutes, we came to a very wide intersection on the street, Old Man Yan looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "That's it, give me something!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the doctor immediately opened the cloth bag in his hand and began to pull things out. I saw eight flags with runes painted in cinnabar, a round gossip mirror, a ball of vermilion thread, and many other things that I couldn't name, piled up on the ground.

At this time, I also wanted to take out the things in my bag, but I was stopped by Old Man Yan, "You don't need it, you can only use the things here later, just look at it." ”

After speaking, regardless of my reaction, he directly took the talisman flag in the doctor's hand, and after a burst of words in his mouth, he hung the eight flags on the building at the intersection, and then passed through the gossip mirror with a red rope, tied to the eight talisman flags respectively, and hung them in the center of the intersection, and then there was a complicated arrangement.

With the help of the doctor, it took about ten minutes, everything was arranged, and the things that the doctor took out were basically exhausted.

As Old Man Yan drank lightly, he saw that he took out a pitch-black and shiny wooden sword out of nowhere, and pointed to the gossip mirror above his head, and an amazing scene appeared. I saw that the gossip mirror that was pointed at by the black wooden sword slowly disappeared, with the red line that tied it, and then the talisman flag, all traces disappeared in an instant.

I don't know if it's because I'm dazzled, I always feel that at the moment when the old man Yang Jian pointed to the gossip mirror, there seemed to be a very faint smoothness that had sunk into the bronze mirror.

The doctor and I have already witnessed Uncle Chen's methods before, and it is not too shocking to see Old Man Yan's hand at this time, but I still feel extremely miraculous in my heart, after all, this method is far beyond our cognition.

"Senior, this is ......" The doctor asked in surprise as he looked at the direction in which Fu Qi had completely disappeared.

Although I haven't seen it, I've heard some Taoist priests say that in addition to the inheritance of Taoism, there are many secret techniques of formations that have been passed down from Xuanmen, and sometimes when you encounter something very tricky or something that is difficult for your own strength to deal with, you can use the formation. At present, Old Man Yan's actions should be arranging some kind of formation.

Sure enough, as soon as I thought of this possibility, I heard Old Man Yan say: "This is the 'Eight Gates Trapped Corpse Array' that I am doing, there is no time, the doctor will follow me, reporter, after we hide it, open the cloth bag, and wait in the array." ”

He spoke so quickly that almost as soon as he finished speaking, the doctor had been dragged away from the intersection and hidden into the surrounding wooden buildings.

My eyes widened, and Old Man Yan's words echoed in my mind: This is the 'Eight Gates Trapped Corpse Array' that I am doing......

Immeasurable your uncle, Zhengqianmen, Old Man Yan said that he was Zhengqianmen, I rely on, could it be that the Zhengqianmen patriarch that Uncle Chen was looking for turned out to be Yan Wudao?

After thinking about it carefully, I found that it was really possible, Old Man Yan stopped aging after being trapped in the ancient town, and his seniority was even higher than that of my grandfather. Listening to his tone, he also participated in the big battle with the Nine Lotus Divine Sect back then, and the ancestor that Uncle Chen was looking for was also missing in the rebellion of the Nine Lotus Divine Sect. Although the time when he and the master arrived here was somewhat inconsistent with the time of the Nine Lotus Divine Sect's rebellion, Zhang Lingjin brought out the things of the ancestor of Zhengqianmen from the ancient town, that is to say, the ancestor that Chen Bo was looking for was in Suoming Town, but Chen Bo didn't expect that the ancestor was still alive.

At this time, I felt as if I had discovered a very interesting thing, I thought that if Uncle Chen knew that the ancestor he was looking for was far away in front of him, and he looked about the same age as him, I guess his expression would be very exciting.

These thoughts only flashed in my mind, and time was very fast, and I wanted to immediately ask Old Man Yan if he was the Zhengqianmen Patriarch that Uncle Chen was looking for, but when I looked up, I found that he and the doctor had disappeared.

I had to put this thought down for the time being, and opened the cloth bag in my hand as he told me.

To be honest, I was very curious about what was in it, and I was looking forward to it, but when I unsealed it, I was almost scared to death by what was revealed inside, it was a human head, a bloody human head.

I reflexively threw my head on the ground, my face turned green, and at the same time I scolded and greeted the eighteenth generation of Old Man Yan's ancestors, regardless of whether he could hear it or not.

After scolding for a while, I recovered from the shock and anger, and at this time the man's head had rolled out of the cloth bag, and I suddenly felt a little familiar, so I dared to step forward a little, and when I looked closely, I was immediately shocked.

Dog, I know this person, he is the jewelry boss who disappeared at the beginning, the fat boss Li.

I was completely stunned, this guy had been missing for many days, and there was no news at all, although I knew that he might be dead, but I didn't expect him to die so miserably, and there was only a bloody fat head left in his body.
