Zhou Fan was quietly looking at the moon hanging high in the sky, and her flat look made Qing'er feel that she didn't seem to know Zhou Fan, and suddenly felt that they were so strange, and she didn't even know everything about Zhou Fan, thinking about Qing'er couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Qing'er didn't know why she was cranky, she actually had this kind of thought, she felt a little uncomfortable when she was lost, she took a deep breath, forced herself not to think about it anymore, and then moved her eyes to the sky to see the half-exposed blood-colored moon.

When she saw the blood-red moon, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise, as if she had discovered an alien, but when she reacted, she immediately covered her mouth with her other hand, and she bit the hand covering her mouth in disbelief, but the pain immediately came from her hand.

Qing'er no longer cared about the pain in her hands at this time, nor did she look at the blood light in the sky, but looked at the man holding her again, Zhou Fan still looked at the blood moon so quietly, as if he didn't see her surprised expression, and didn't pay attention to her just stood quietly.

The breeze blew through the silent streets, and the trees that had gradually entered autumn couldn't resist the breeze, and the dead leaves slowly fell from the trees, "Ahhh

This sneeze also interrupted Zhou Fan's train of thought, and he looked down at Qing'er, who was trembling a little: "It's almost two o'clock, and the weather is a little cold at night in autumn, don't stand here with me, go to bed and sit for a while." ”

"No, I'm here with you, and I'm scared alone." Qing'er shook her head, her body not moving.

"Okay then." Zhou Fan saw that Qing'er refused to go back to the ward alone, so he took off his coat and put it on Qing'er.

"I'm not cold, your body has just recovered, don't catch a cold again, let's go back, what's so good about this." Qing'er saw Zhou Fan take off his coat and put it on herself, and hurriedly persuaded her, for fear that there would be something wrong with Zhou Fan, who had just woken up.

"Actually, I don't want to stand here, but I don't believe that it's really so evil to only meet every thirty-eight years? And you get dressed, I'm fine, if you dare to move, don't stay here. When Qing'er heard Zhou Fan's seemingly angry tone, she didn't dare to move, but buried her head deeper.

"It's so cold! Why did the temperature drop so much suddenly, it's still quite hot today, there is no reason for the temperature difference to change so quickly at night, is there a typhoon coming? Tianyou shuddered for a while, and looked at the sky strangely.

Feng Long stopped and took Tianyou's words: "I also feel very strange, we haven't felt much change in temperature difference when we were in the hospital today, and even in the Empty Underworld Temple it is not as cold as it is now, it seems that this cold weather has only dropped suddenly after we left the hospital, and I feel colder and colder now." ”

Tianyou couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, he couldn't figure out what was going on, "Since Zhou Fan said that tonight is heavier than the previous July 14th Yin Qi, I guess we either encountered something dirty, or something bad was about to happen... ”

"Look at the moon in the sky, this, this moonlight is too terrifying." Without waiting for Tianyou to finish speaking, Feng Long directly snatched the words and motioned for Tianyou to look up at the moon in the sky.

"Hiss......"As soon as Tianyou saw the blood moon, he instantly gasped: "Things have been beyond our expectations, I thought Zimeng was near here, but now we have walked three streets, and we still find Zimeng's figure."

This is a bit unusual, I think we should call Zhou Fan first to ask about the situation. Tianyou took his eyes down, took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Zhou Fan.

At this time, Tianyou's mobile phone happened to ring for a while, and Tianyou saw that it was Zhou Fan calling: "Zhou Fan is calling, you answer or..." ...”

"Take it." Seeing this, Feng Long shook his head slightly.

"Hey, we should be in the county government location now, and the county government gate is still more than a hundred meters away from us... ..... What the? Are you telling the truth? If that's the case, it's going to be troublesome, okay, I know, don't say hope, you guess don't show up. ”

Tianyou hung up the phone, turned to look at Feng Long for a while before continuing: "Zhou Fan asked us to go back after finding Zimeng before it rains, and if we can't go back, we will go directly to the nearest hotel to open a room and come back after dawn."

"What kind of dumb riddle is he playing, although the sky looks eerie, but apart from the red moon that looks uncomfortable, I don't see any signs of rain? And the weather forecast on the mobile phone didn't say that there was rain? Feng Long listened to Tianyou's words, and took out his mobile phone with some doubts and looked at it.

"Well, after all this, do you still look at these issues from the perspective of your previous atheism? There are some things that science simply can't explain. Tianyou saw that Feng Long still looked at the problem from the perspective of a former atheist, and sighed.

Feng Long pursed his lips and asked, "Uh... Okay, so what else does he tell you? ”

He said that the moonlight in the sky would only appear after the second hour of the seventh month, and that it would last for an hour after the hour, that is, from one to two o'clock, after which the weather would slowly get colder and soon it would rain.

Because he said that according to the historical records recorded in the past, this is the case of the seventh month, which occurs only once every thirty-eight years, and the rain will not stop until the next day. After speaking, Tianyou's face was a little not good-looking, and he was still thinking about what Zhou Fan told him.

"It shouldn't be that simple." Feng Long looked at Tianyou's face and continued to ask.

"Well, this is a sign of the night walk of the hundred ghosts in the seventh month, but Zhou Fan is not sure, he said that he has not experienced it, these are what his grandfather told him, so let's quickly find Zimeng and go back before it rains."

Before Tianyou finished speaking, Feng Long let out a surprised voice, "What? Are you sure Zhou Fan just said that? If that's the case, it's going to be troublesome. “

"Why, why are you reacting so much?" Tianyou looked at Feng Long in puzzlement.

"I know about this hundred ghosts walking at night." Feng Long said that he looked at the weather silently, pulled Tianyou to the door of a bank and sat down, and he was not in a hurry to find Zimeng.

"What are you doing, time is running out now, if we can't find Zimeng, we'll be in trouble." Tianyou obviously didn't want to understand what Feng Long wanted to do at this time.

"Don't worry, I have a way to find Zimeng, but before that, I think it is necessary for me to tell you the origin of the Hundred Ghosts' Night Walk, if we encounter those things later, we can also know how to deal with them."

Feng Long reached into his backpack and took out something and continued: "In China, there has been a saying about a hundred ghosts traveling at night for a long time, which is similar to Japan, but the so-called hundred ghosts in China refer to groups of ghosts.

They are often seen on summer nights, lonely ghosts, or Chinese Halloween festivals. The regional culture is different, and the culture that circulates is also different, and the original meaning of the night walk of the hundred ghosts is to drive away evil spirits.

However, the night walk of Hyakki, as it is now known, is a Japanese culture, and on the eve of Obon, a bean throwing event is held to ward off evil spirits, and in temples, it is generally men in the natal year who are tasked with spreading beans to ward off evil spirits.

It is believed that eating as many beans as one's age will make the year safe and disease-free, so people rush to pick up such beans, but there is no specific rule that the person who scatters the beans must be a man as long as he is in his natal year.

Half-ghost people are often all kinds of people, they wear ghost masks to take on the role of ghosts, and children scatter beans on ghosts to perform this activity called bean throwing to exorcise ghosts, which may have originated in ancient Chinese ceremonies.

So now, the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk is likely to be spread in our ancient China and then transmitted to Japan, but this Hundred Ghosts Night Walk should have been met by us, but we don't know it. ”

"You mean, the things we encountered on the way back from the Void Temple?" Tianyou listened to Feng Long's explanation and said with some doubts.

"That's right, in Japanese culture, it's the so-called Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, but during the Kuomintang Revolution, we all called it a Yin soldier's way, so we've already encountered it, and I don't know if I'm too scared." Feng Long finally stopped his movements and stopped digging into his backpack, because at this time he had already held something like a firecracker in his hand and handed it to Tianyou.

"This is? Do you think... It's not good to do this in the middle of the night! Tianyou took the things handed to him by Feng Long, and said with a little hesitation.

"We can't care so much, we don't know where Zimeng is now, we thought he would be nearby, and we didn't drive out, but now if we go back to the hospital to get the car, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, and maybe it will rain in a while.

And since the last time we came back from the Mysterious Soul Stone Forest, I no longer went to that manufacturer to custom-order, and found another custom-made signal flare, which used to make a very loud noise.

So I specially asked the master of another manufacturer to change it, after I got separated from you in the Temple of the Empty Underworld, I was afraid that there would be another accident when I met Zimeng, so I gave Zimeng a signal flare, so that he could take it so that we could know the location when we were separated again, and we could go to the rescue in time, the time was almost two o'clock, let's hurry up. Feng Long looked at his watch and then at the sky and explained.

"No wonder you were prepared, so why don't you use it earlier, so we don't have to go shopping for most of the day." Tianyou grabbed the flare gun and tinkered.

"You think I don't want to, but who knows that Zimeng runs so far, and I don't want to use this thing, even if it costs a lot, I have to go to a remote factory to customize it myself, it's too troublesome, so I can save it as much as possible." Feng Long looked at Tianyou as if he felt that this thing was easy to buy, and couldn't help but glance at him with disdain.

"Okay, hurry up, I'll go to the intersection and watch, so that no cars will pass by, you find an open place, and then launch this signal flare." Feng Long said as he walked to the crossroads.

It's not that you have to stand at the crossroads to launch signal flares, but the configuration of small counties is not as good as that of big cities, and it has not yet reached the extent that underground cables are used in every place, and there are many places where wires are pulled by telephone poles.

If you don't find an open place to launch signal flares, you may hit high-voltage power lines and cause a power outage in the whole city, and if you have a power outage on this special night, it will be troublesome.

"Bang", I saw that the sky was lit up by the bright light of the signal flare for a moment, the dazzling signal flare was particularly bright and dazzling in the silent night sky, and the light reflected from the sky made the whole street brighter, no longer as dark and weird as before.

"Okay, now all we have to do is wait, if Zimeng sees the signal we sent, it will definitely come to join us." Feng Long looked at this dazzling light and seemed to have a plan.

"Well, that's the only way, but we can't wait like this, Zimeng won't come after fifteen minutes, let's go back to the hospital and drive the car out, and let Zhou Fan come out by the way, after all, this situation is not something that the two of us can deal with..."

"It shouldn't be necessary, Zhou Fan is inconvenient now, and he can't help when he comes, I think Zimeng is not stupid, he should know that it was us when he sees the signal, even if he encounters trouble, he can't come to meet us."

Then he'll fire his own flares to let us know where he is, so we can join him. Feng Long interrupted Tianyou's words, pulled Tianyou back to the eaves at the door of the bank, sat down and waited quietly.
