About five kilometers away from the botanical garden in the small village, the battery car swayed for a while before arriving, the village is really not big, about a dozen households, on the way to the entrance of the village, you can see the fire in the village, but the fire is not particularly bright, from time to time you can hear a faint sound from the village, like crying.

The old army pulled a piece of white cloth to Tang Yao, and then said to Tang Yao: "Wrap the white cloth, and after a while, we will say that the old couple was sent by the previous unit, tonight is the first seven of the old couple, and the corpse will be burned tomorrow if it stops for a day, so if there are still wandering ancient spirits who want to collect the energy of this old couple, then it will definitely appear here, let's go, enter the village." ”

Tang Yao followed behind the old soldier and asked as he walked: "Brother Jun, I still don't understand, aren't the ancient spirits all created by illusionists using secret techniques, but why are there wandering ancient spirits, is there such a thing as an ancient spirit naturally formed between heaven and earth?" ”

"It is true that most of the ancient spirits are made by illusionists or some earlier mystics and witches, and the number is very large, but there is a limit to human life, and the ancient spirits will always exist as long as there is enough energy supply, some illusionists have a large number of ancient spirit groups, after the death of this illusionist, the ancient spirits in the group will lose their owners, some of the ancient spirits will survive for a while and disappear, while the other part will become wandering ancient spirits, the number of wandering ancient spirits is more than you think, but they also disappear quickly."

"Didn't those illusionists think about restraining these ancient spirits when they made them, such as signing a contract or something, and the ancient spirits will die with the death of the master." Tang Yao asked again.

"You're thinking about beauty, how can there be any contract or something, but I've heard before that there was an illusionist who wanted to completely control the life and death of these ancient spirits when he created them, but it turned out to cause the rebellion of the ancient spirits he created, and as a result, the illusionist was beaten to death by his own ancient spirits, but you don't have to worry about this, the obsidian still has a strong restraining effect on Shen Tuya, in case Shen Tu Ya wants to do something to you, you just need to put it back in the obsidian and never let it out."

The two of them entered the village while talking, it was originally a small village, and other families would rush over to help if something happened to one family, plus relatives and friends from other places rushed here, so the people who were doing the funeral looked chaotic.

Tang Yao and the old army had already thought of a countermeasure, but no one stepped forward to ask them, so that the two of them walked into the mourning hall and no one thought they were suspicious, Tang Yao saw the statue, it was an old couple over eighty years old, I heard that one died in the morning, and the other survived until noon.

"I'll go to the secretary of the village branch to talk a few words, and you go and put incense on the old couple." The old soldier said to Tang Yao, and then walked away by himself.

Tang Yao walked to the front of the mourning hall, picked up the incense that was placed on the mourning hall, lit the candle and inserted it on the incense burner, he didn't know the rules very well, so he bowed three times to the second elder, and then said in a low voice: "May the second elder go all the way." ”

After speaking, he raised his head to look, but saw something suddenly flashing behind the second elder's posthumous photo, the speed was relatively fast, he didn't see what flashed for a while, only saw that thing running towards the east side of the mourning hall.

Tang Yao looked at the busy people around him, as if no one except him had noticed the black shadow that flashed just now, Tang Yao was puzzled, so he walked towards the east of the mourning hall.

The location of the mourning hall is in the middle of the bungalow of the old couple who have just passed away, and the old couple's home is composed of three bungalows, and the middle is connected together, Tang Yao walked to the east and entered another bungalow, here is the kitchen, the big stove in the countryside and the wide chimney built up, there is no one in the kitchen at this time, and there are only two neighbors in the same village who are helping to boil water and make some supper for busy people to eat.

After seeing Tang Yao walk in, one of the enthusiastic grandmothers handed over a bowl of noodles and said, "Young man, it's hard work, let's eat a bowl of noodles." ”

Tang Yao hurriedly waved his hand to signal that he didn't need it, but Grandma was very enthusiastic and still stuffed the noodle bowl into Tang Yao's hand, Tang Yao held the noodle bowl and kept scanning the kitchen, he wanted to find out what the black shadow that flashed before was, but unfortunately he searched around and found nothing.

At this time, the aroma of noodles wafted into his nose, Tang Yao nibbled on a bread bought at a discount at night, and now his stomach began to be hungry.

As soon as he inserted the chopsticks into the bowl, the hot noodles were picked up, and he was about to swallow the noodles in his mouth, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a low shout: "Tang Yao, put the bowl down." ”

Tang Yao was startled by this low shout, and suddenly looked up and saw the old soldier standing at the door of the kitchen, but the old soldier's expression was a little scary, staring at him angrily, Tang Yao asked strangely: "Brother Jun, what's wrong?" ”

The old soldier didn't speak, walked over quickly, knocked over the noodle bowl in Tang Yao's hand to the ground, Tang Yao looked down and was dumbfounded, because where was the steaming noodles in the broken noodle bowl on the ground, which was clearly a place of blood and some disgusting things that didn't know if it was a small snake or an earthworm.

"How can this be, am I being tricked?" Tang Yao asked in surprise, if it weren't for the old army reminding him in time, I was afraid that he would have to eat such a bowl of disgusting things.

"Isn't that obvious, you must have been tricked." The old army said.

"Who set the trap, is there also an illusionist here?" Tang Yao asked.

The old soldier thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be the illusionist, but the Gu Ling's trick on you, did you find something?" ”

Hearing what the old army said, Tang Yao immediately said: "Yes, when I was giving incense to the old couple, I saw something flashing behind the posthumous photo, it seemed to be a black shadow, I was chasing the black shadow, could it be that the black shadow is a wandering ancient spirit, it found me and set me up, this guy is ruthless enough." ”

"I've already told the secretary of the village branch that we'll stay tonight to help clean up the grounds, and we'll find a chance to wait at the mortuary, I think the wandering spirit should appear."

The coffin of the old couple was being placed in the shed on the other side, and there were two fellows smoking at the door, and after the old army came forward to say a few words to them and smoked a cigarette, the two fellows thanked the old soldier and left with a smile, and only after they left did the old soldier wave to Tang Yao and let him pass.

"I told them that we would keep vigil on their behalf......" Lao Jun looked at his phone while talking, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, he and Tang Yao sat on the small bench outside the shack, Lao Jun covered an old newspaper on his face and seemed to be ready to take a break, Tang Yao was also a little bored and ready to squint for a while after flipping through the circle of friends.

At about twelve o'clock in the evening, the villagers who came to help went back a lot, and some relatives and friends went back to the house to sleep, and there were many fewer people inside and outside the mourning hall, and it was a lot quieter, and when it was past twelve o'clock, the mourning hall was empty, and there were only three or two people outside the mourning hall, and the surroundings were very quiet, Tang Yao closed his eyes and was a little drowsy in a nap, until he woke up after being kicked in the ankle.

The person who kicked him was naturally the old army, Tang Yao rubbed his eyes and asked, "Brother Jun, what's wrong, is there a situation?" ”

The old soldier nodded at him and said, "Why are you really asleep, be quiet, there is a situation." ”

When Tang Yao heard this, he immediately came to his senses and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

The old soldier pointed to the other side of the shack, in the direction of a well in the courtyard, and said, "There seems to be something there." ”

Tang Yao immediately set his eyes on the well, stared at it for a while but found nothing, he was about to speak when he heard the old soldier eagerly whisper: "Let's go to the back and hide first, there must be something there, don't stare there." ”

After speaking, the old army dragged Tang Yao to stand up, and the two of them went around behind the pile of tiles on the other side of the shed, and then the two of them squatted down, and after waiting for a while, a large amount of water suddenly gushed out of the well, as if something was about to climb out.
