Chapter 54: The Sacrifice (2)
Thundered.
Thunder came one after another, and the rain dripped on the roof tiles, and a few drops of rain blew in from time to time on the leaky walls, ticking.
Luo moved the small bed by the wall to the center of the room, and the raindrops soaked the dirt inside the house, and her trouser legs were stained with mud marks.
The sudden change in weather suddenly lowered the temperature a lot, and there was a trace of moisture in the whole house.
She boiled some spiritual spring water in the stove to warm her stomach.
Grandma Huang went out in the morning, and she hasn't come back yet.
It was dark and windy. The sound of the whimpering wind outside the window was like a roaring wraith, and the rain and the thin mist made the whole village look less real and hazy.
At this time, I should have smelled the smell of cooking smoke, and Uncle Wang of the next door would send two steamed buns, and a big yellow dog running in front of the village followed with its tail wagging its tail.
The spiritual spring water cannot penetrate the spiritual energy here, just like ordinary water, but if you look closely, you can find that the spiritual spring water is purer than the well water in the village, without any impurities.
The continuous rain made her feel a lot more resentment in the air, the village was surprisingly quiet, there seemed to be only the sound of rain and wind, even the small room she was in now had no sense of reality, and the fire in the stove did not bring her a trace of warmth.
Luo Yuyu found a worn-out oil-paper umbrella in the house, picked it up and opened it, and walked out of the house, turning around, but did not meet anyone. There was not even a single old house around that there was a fire, and the rope tied to the big yellow dog at the entrance of the village was broken.
She followed the source of the resentment in the air, walked back and forth several times, and the rain washed away a lot of resentment, and she couldn't see which direction was more prominent.
Suddenly, outside the door of Lao Zhou's house, who drove an ox cart, she saw the ox cart without oxen.
Ran over and buckled the locked door, getting no response.
The not-so-sturdy wooden door creaked, and the moment she withdrew her hand, she fell to the ground.
The simple yard was very quiet, there was not a single chicken in the chicken pen, all the doors were strangely open, revealing a dark and gloomy doorway, and in one of the rooms there was a steady stream of thin resentment.
Luo Yuyu moved her ears, and she could vaguely hear the sound of talking.
She leaned over and approached the room carefully, a drop of blood squeezed out of her finger, and she could see the furnishings of the room through the faint light.
This is a small ancestral hall with the genealogy of the Zhou family and the plaques of many villagers in Tietou Village.
She noticed that the word 'Huang Osmanthus' was written on a plaque in the corner, which was the name of Grandma Huang, who took her in.
Although she had long known that the people in this village were all resentful, but now that she saw so many spirit cards, she was still slightly uncomfortable in her heart.
The resentment comes from a white crane depicted on the genealogy.
Only a person with malicious intent and who has fallen into the devil can draw such a pattern.
She dripped the blood from her fingertips onto the white crane, and the resentment she exuded gradually stopped.
There are several thread-bound books in the genealogy, one of which looks crumpled as if it has been read many times, and the names in it have been maliciously crossed out in red ink, and only the font can be roughly distinguished.
The only name that survived was 'Zhou Lanlan', which stood out among the red names.
Her birth date is recorded under her name.
After going out, Luo Yuyu found that the resentment in the air had not weakened, and she found the same white crane pattern in the ancestral halls of several families, which was the same as the ancestral hall of the Zhou family, and the only name reserved in each genealogy was 'Zhou Lanlan'.
After removing nearly ten sources of resentment in a row, the resentment finally began to fade, and the rain stopped.
It was getting dark, and all the houses were lit up almost at one time.
Luo Yuyu returned to Grandma Huang's house, and the person who disappeared for a day is now cooking on the stove.
She sensitively noticed that Grandma Huang's resentment had lightened a lot, her body was not as tight as before, and her movements were very slow.
"Yuzu is back, come and eat." Grandma Huang beckoned someone to come in for dinner, and her fingers were cut in two, revealing a black ghostly light on them.
Luo Yuyu picked up the bowl and did not move the chopsticks.
"Mother-in-law, do you know Zhou Lanlan?" Luo Yuyu covered her eyes and asked seemingly casually.
"Oh, it's the eldest daughter of the old Zhou family. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her in a long time. Grandma Huang smiled and put a chopstick and vegetables into the bowl.
"She..."
"Oh, don't be Zhou Lanlan long Zhou Lanlan is short, let's eat, I'm going to go to the ground tomorrow!" Grandma Huang interrupted Luo Yuyu's words, and her fingers holding the chopsticks disappeared again.
*
"Your Majesty, the power of the array we put in Wuchuan Country has weakened." A bewitching woman in revealing clothes overturned beside the soft collapse, undisguised admiration in her eyes.
Chi Xun's sleepy eyes opened, and his quiet eyes were dyed with a lot of blood-colored red light.
He quickly got up and disappeared in place.
The man looked at the array disk that he had sealed with the forbidden technique, and there was a white demon pill that was well guarded.
The faint immortal qi was firmly imprisoned by the immortal array coiled by resentment.
He looked at the old man who was hanging down not far away, so thin that his face could only show bones, and sneered.
"Your Majesty, there seem to be immortals mixed in the array." The old man said tremblingly, he was wearing a glass-colored ring on the middle finger of his right hand, which did not match his wood-like fingers.
"Immortals?" Chi Xun's thin lips cleared, "Even if it's true, you have to stabilize the array." The power in that demon pill, you can deploy it at will, and you must not let anything go wrong with this array. ”
Zhong Mou bowed his head, chanted a spell in his mouth, and his whole body was soaked with resentment, and the trace of immortal qi on the array plate was quickly eroded and disappeared, and a faint crack appeared on the demon pill guarding the top of the array plate.
Chi Xun glanced at the array plate deeply, with a certain hope and nostalgia in his eyes, "I'll go into the array with a touch of divine consciousness to kill that person, you must take a good look at the array." ”
"Yes." Zhong Mou replied respectfully, and a ghostly light crossed his eyes.
At the moment when a trace of immortal energy disappeared, Luo Yuyu found that the resentment in the village had returned to its original level, and Grandma Huang's illusory body had also re-solidified.
This made her angry for a long time, and she didn't even feel that the roasted spirit grass was not fragrant.
She can only follow Grandma Huang to farm as usual. As for the ox cart picking up people, she didn't say anything more, as if she was willing to stay in the village, and Grandma Huang was very satisfied with her well-behaved.
"Grandma, look who's back!" Aunt Chunxi, who lives next door, knocked on the courtyard door, and couldn't hide the joy in her mouth.
"What's the matter, so happy." Grandma Huang opened the door and greeted Chunxi's big cake face.
Chunxi smiled and moved away, revealing a teenager behind him.
Grandma Huang rubbed her eyes several times as if she didn't believe it, and was sure that the handsome young man holding the ox cart was her grandson.
"Niu Niu, is that you?" Grandma Huang asked tremblingly, excitedly going to shake his hand.
The boy ducked slightly, a hint of detachment flashing in his eyes.
