Chapter Seventy-One: The Grave in the Village
As the saying goes, it's easier to go up than to down.
But Xu Annian didn't think so, he walked fast, and under the leadership of Bai Sanfu, the power that erupted in his body made him walk like flying. Gradually, it has exceeded the speed of ordinary people.
Duan Tu Nan just followed closely, looking at him with complicated eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xu Annian was stared at very uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to slow down, moved forward parallel to him, and had nothing to say
"Senior..."
Before Xu Annian finished speaking, Duan Tunan waved his hand and said seriously
"Just call me by name!"
I was very embarrassed, and immediately changed my words
"Tu, Tu Nan, what is the Ten Thousand Ghosts Travel, what is going on here?"
Duan Tunan listened to Xu Annian's words, and just turned his head to look at the village below the mountain,
"Since you've been here, you've already experienced a lot of things!"
Xu Annian nodded subconsciously.
"Then you must have seen the Five Ghost Trees! It was a very powerful Yin Gathering Array. ”
Xu Annian still nodded.
Duan Tunan sighed slightly. And then he said
"In fact, this entire mountain forest is a array, called the Sleepy Heaven Array. And the Five Yin Array is just one of the links, and all of these circular arrays are for sealing..."
Speaking of this, he subconsciously looked at Bai Sanfu not far in front of him, and quickly changed the topic
"Because of the Heaven Trapping Array, all the undead who died inside will be trapped in the mountains and forests and cannot be reincarnated, and they retain some of their lives and exist here. So, every ten years, they come out en masse and do something they loved to do in their lifetime. When I meet a living person, I rob them of their souls, and I don't know what the purpose of this is.
In the past, when the ghosts traveled, they would not go up the mountain, but this time it was different, not only did the time advance a lot, but they also came to the top of the mountain beyond the range! There must be some reason for this. ”
Xu Annian listened to Duan Tunan's explanation, and probably understood a little, but in the face of all kinds of questions, he didn't have the slightest clue, so he didn't continue to ask, and said in a deep voice
"Forget it, if you don't understand, you don't want to, let's go and see and everything will know!"
After speaking, his eyes looked straight ahead.
Finally, as the two men finished talking, they had reached the bottom of the mountain,
Standing on that familiar avenue, looking at the Liren Village not far ahead, Xu Annian had many scenes in his mind, and he had a lot of thoughts for a while.
He shook his head, didn't think much about it, and headed towards Liren Village.
As the distance got closer and closer, the village became more and more clear, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them came to the entrance of the village.
It was a gray space, as if it was covered in a thick fog, a dead silence, without a trace of life!
Xu Annian's uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and he glanced back at Duan Tunan, he just had a heavy face, and he didn't panic too much, so he asked in a low voice
"You've been here?"
Duan Tu Nan nodded lightly and simply spoke
"Follow me!"
After speaking, he stepped into Liren Village.
Seeing this, Xu Annian hurriedly picked up Bai Sanfu at his feet, worried that it would be dangerous for him to run around, so he followed him hard.
As the two of them entered the village, everything inside was clearly visible.
This is a dilapidated village to the extreme, full of broken eaves and broken walls, the broken houses are covered with black fire marks, basically none of them are complete, the ground is disorganized, all kinds of debris are mixed with red and purple, a mess, empty, as if it is purgatory on earth. Only the remnants of this place are silently telling all the people who came here what kind of catastrophe it experienced back then!
"What the hell happened here?"
Xu Annian looked at the village in front of him in shock, and whispered with a frown.
Duan Tunan seemed to recall something, with a look of indignation and sadness, as if this period of history was unwilling to be mentioned, and walked down the road without saying a word.
The village was small, and after walking along the road for about five minutes, the two men came to a large and wide clearing.
But when Xu Annian saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
This open space is densely covered with countless graves?
Each mound was rudimentary, just a small mound with short weeds dotted with it. The surroundings look quite tidy, and it can be seen that someone has sorted it out regularly, and the dead leaves and weeds are piled up in order at intervals, which is unusually eye-catching.
And on each grave bag, there is a steel gun, which looks like a tombstone from a distance, to prove the identity of the person lying inside.
Because of the age, the steel gun has long been broken, and the corrosion is quite serious, and some of them have been broken and damaged, and they are bifurcated and inserted into the land, which makes people feel very tragic.
And at the top of the steel gun, there was a hat stained red with blood, and now it had already turned into blood stains and printed on it, and a shining red star was resolutely engraved in the center of the hat! It has not been corroded by time, but it is still brightly engraved on the hat, and it swings with the breeze like a mighty and unyielding wave, giving people a feeling of standing up to the sky.
But the most incredible thing is that
In the depths of this group of tombs, there seems to be a figure standing faintly, holding a big broom at this time, slowly sweeping something.
"Yes, yes, someone?!"
Seeing this, Xu Annian was so panicked that he was almost speechless, and hurriedly stretched out his finger and pointed over, prompting Duan Tunan next to him.
And Duan Tu Nan seemed to know, without too much surprise, just stood with his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes and looked over!
The figure in the tomb seemed to notice them, stunned for a moment, and then walked over slowly with a big broom, very slow and sluggish!
When Xu Annian saw this scene, he was extremely nervous, his body tensed up unconsciously, and he was vigilantly prepared for defense.
Duan Tunan saw Xu Annian's demeanor, slowly put down the hand behind his back, and comforted him lightly
"It's okay, don't be nervous!"
As the figure gradually approached, Xu Annian finally saw the face of the person who came.
This turned out to be an old woman, not tall, with a hunched waist, and she needed to take a breath with every step, like an old man.
The hair is pale, and the locks are glued together, half-hidden, and looming. The face is wrinkled, like a twist and turn of the past.
She looked at Duan Tu Nan at the moment and didn't speak for a long time. At last the old woman spoke
"Coming?"
"It's coming!"
Duan Tu Nan didn't talk much nonsense, and replied simply and neatly.
The old woman then asked
"Finished?"
Duan Tunan still replied with two words
"It's over!"
The old woman seemed pleased with his answer, and grinned with a dry face.
Duan Tunan pointed to the mound in front of him and asked suspiciously
"What is this?"
The old woman turned to look over, her cloudy eyes filled with pity and sorrow.
"It's all poor little dolls, there's only so much I can do!"
After speaking, he said with a little doubt
"Why did you bring a stranger in?"
After speaking, she turned her head to look at Xu Annian behind Duan Tunan, but when she saw Bai Sanfu in Xu Annian's arms, she was stunned stupidly like Duan Tunan's original reaction.
Duan Tu Nan nodded lightly at the old woman with a deep meaning on his face, as if expected.
The confirmed old woman's whole body trembled violently in an instant, her face showed an abnormal flush, and she quickly knelt on the ground and shouted with a slight cry
"Bai Ye Sheng'an!"
After speaking, he couldn't stop kowtowing, and the amplitude shook the ground to buzz, ignoring the blood that gradually flowed out of his head.
Then, raising the old dizzy eyes, tears could not stop flowing out, and said tremblingly
"I have been keeping my promise and fulfilling my mission! Rest assured! ”
Bai Sanfu seemed to understand, and whined softly, with a little praise in his eyes.
Hearing Bai Sanfu's reaction, the old woman was even more excited. I can't speak, I just keep choking!
Duan Tu Nan saw the old woman's expression and gently patted her shoulder. Said comfortingly
"Here we went! Come back! ”
After speaking, he stretched out and walked towards the village, without being verbose.
And the old woman sobbed with relief
"Good! Good! Good! It's gone, it's finally over! ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the tomb. Xu Annian, who was left with a veiled face, stood there.
Facing Xu Annian, who was full of questions, Duan Tunan didn't explain much, but just said in a deep voice
"Go save people first, and I'll explain the rest to you later!"
After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward.
Seeing this, Xu Annian could only follow stupidly.
Not far from their departure, the old woman also walked to a tomb, and the tears on her face could not be stopped.
Slowly close your eyes and speak slowly
"My mission, accomplished!"
After speaking, he smiled with relief, and then his body quickly shrank and dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a dried corpse of an animal.
The shabby clothes on her body fell to the ground because of the changes in the old woman's body, and slowly floated with the wind, towards the distance, until they disappeared!
