Chapter 424: Re-entering the village
The 15th day of July is the day when the ghost door is closed and opened, and most people in the world will choose to stay at home on this night, unless there is something that must be done to go out.
Because in the legend, the Midyear Festival is also called the Ghost Festival, and it is very easy to encounter ghosts when you go out that night, and you will be scared at least and seriously ill.
But for me, this day means that the annual vigil that must take place again has begun.
Now that the village has fallen into a large pit underground, and a passage to hell has been found there, Lin Yuanshan has sent a lot of people to guard there, so it is much more convenient to go to the village, I can go directly by car, and there will be people to answer me along the way.
It's just that before leaving the castle, I was still thinking about the news of Su Che and the others, and I didn't want to leave a little hesitantly.
Aunt Qing and Lin Yuanshan were there, and the two of them didn't say anything, silently watching me pretend to be busy.
"Alas!" Aunt Qing sighed, and just wanted to persuade me to leave early, when suddenly a person ran in from outside the door, panting and said, "Found it!" ”
"What was found?" The three of us asked aloud in unison.
"Sue... Su Che them! The visitor took a breath and said.
It was like a huge stone falling to the ground, and the heavy burden in my heart was lifted at once!
"How are they? Were there any surprises? I immediately asked.
The man said that there was no accident, but everyone had strayed into an ecstasy formation, and it took many days to unravel the formation, and now they are walking back.
Now I can rest assured.
Anyone who knows how to form like Shen Qin will be trapped, and that Ecstasy Array must be very powerful, so you can also know that there must be something very important in that place.
So Lin Yuanshan immediately said: "Let them return immediately, our people will add more manpower to surround that place tightly, but if anyone else comes out of it, they must catch a live mouth!" ”
The person who came agreed to go out, at this time Chang Xing was still stationed in the village to guard the entrance of the passage, Lin Yuanshan did not have a few effective assistants, and many orders could only be conveyed by the disciples.
"Jiang Cha, are you relieved now?" Aunt Qing asked me with a smile.
I nodded, thinking to myself that even if everyone came back, they wouldn't be able to catch up with my vigil tonight, but they were safe so that I could go to the vigil without distractions.
Without the psychological burden, I was able to set off, so I picked up the backpack that I had packed a long time ago, and followed Aunt Qing down the mountain to the parking lot outside.
She wanted to go with me, but I refused, for me the night vigil is familiar with the road, I have always carried out it alone, there is no need to be accompanied, plus there are many Yunmen disciples living in the village, so there is naturally no need to worry about safety, so I didn't let Aunt Qing set off with me.
But Lin Yuanshan took this mission very seriously, not only sent several people to accompany me, but also repeatedly told them that they must protect me when I keep vigil at night, and no accident will happen to me no matter what.
I can only chuckle in my heart, what can happen? It's just a once-a-year mission, and I'm used to it.
But thinking that this is the last vigil, I still feel very relaxed in my heart, and I don't have to wait in that ancestral shrine for a night in the future.
It stands to reason that today is actually a very special day, it is not only my eighteenth birthday, but also the day of the blood curse in junior high school, and it is the last time I keep vigil, but unfortunately everyone is not there, and I can't witness the moment when I throw off all my baggage.
I was so overwhelmed by those burdens that I didn't dare to imagine my future, thinking that I would die one day and leave my loved ones and this world forever.
But now it's different, not only have I gained a lot, but I've also unlocked the blood curse, and as long as I finish this last time, I can go and fight the enemy in a down-to-earth way!
After the car started, I waved goodbye to Aunt Qing Lin Yuanshan and others who saw me off, and then sat in the car and closed my eyes to recuperate.
… …
… …
When it was almost noon, I arrived in the village, from getting off the bus to taking the mountain road into the village, I remembered a lot along the way, I followed Su Che down the mountain in the past, and then I rarely returned to the village, and I came back for some things, at most it was just to stay for a few days.
Now that such a long time has passed, time has passed, and the whole village has inexplicably fallen into the ground, and it is impossible to find the memories of that year.
As I walked, I thought of Dr. Duan and Wei Wei, two people who were so good to me had left one after another, and when I came to the huge pit, I suddenly had a feeling of being separated from the world.
The place where I am standing at this moment is a sidewalk built by Chang Xing later, and it is no longer like when we first came here, when we had to climb a rope to go down.
A white mist enveloped the whole crater, and I couldn't see what the village below looked like, and I walked down the steps of the sidewalk, but my heart beat much faster.
When I went down to the bottom of the pit, I saw that Chang Xing and a few Cloud Sect disciples were already waiting for me, and when they saw me, they smiled and said that the deputy sect master, you are here.
I was a little embarrassed, so I quickly smiled and said, "Uncle Chang, don't be so polite, you can still call me ginger tea." ”
Chang Xing was also happy, nodded and said, "Anyway, the vigil won't start until night, where do you want to rest?" Your home and Su Che's home have been cleaned up before, and they can all be occupied. ”
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to go to Su Che's house, which was where my fate changed, and I also liked the faint scent of sandalwood wafting from his house.
Chang Xing still wanted to order someone to take me, but I stopped him, this place has been engraved in my mind, can't I find Su Che's home?
It's just that it's time to rest, and I'm most concerned about what is going on in the backyard of the village chief's house, the passage to hell.
Speaking of this, Chang Xing's brows furrowed, and then he said to me: "You don't know, that place has become more and more strange in the past few days, and our people can't stay at the entrance of the passage anymore." ”
I was stunned, it's already so serious?
"Is it because Yin Qi appears more often?" I hurriedly asked.
Chang Xing nodded, and said that it is not only that, now the yin qi will gush out in an hour, and the power is amazing, strong like an oil well blowout, so I think...
He suddenly stopped talking, and I asked strangely, "What's the matter, Uncle Chang, is there anything you can't say?" ”
Chang Xing shook his head with a wry smile and said No, I mean, if you haven't been able to stop the yin qi from leaking out tonight, it is estimated that there will be yin qi everywhere here tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
The frequency of eruptions has been increasing, and at this rate, there will probably be round-the-clock eruptions from tomorrow.
This is the situation that Chang Xing introduced to me, after knowing this, I didn't have the mind to rest for the time being, so I said to him: "Let's go over and have a look?" ”
Chang Xing nodded, said okay, and then walked with me to the house of the village chief.
Before I got closer, I saw a thick white smoke coming out of the back of the house, and the smoke came out and went straight into the sky, and then slowly fell to the ground, and two high-powered fans immediately started to blow the smoke away.
As Chang Xing just said, this power is indeed amazing.
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Before I came down just now, I saw the mist over the village, and I thought it was yin, but it turned out that this thing was heavier than air." ”
Chang Xing nodded: "Yes, in order to prevent the yin qi from condensing and hurting the disciples under the sect, these two fans were installed to dilute the thick yin qi." ”
I also wanted to step forward to check what was going on, but I was stopped by Chang Xing, and said ginger tea, don't go forward, it's easy to be hurt, and now the yin qi hasn't dissipated.
In fact, I had already felt the yin qi, and the diluted yin qi had not disappeared, but was contained in the surrounding buildings, ground, and vegetation.
I smiled a little and said Uncle Chang, have you forgotten, I am an extreme yin physique, and I am very sensitive to yin qi, and I am not afraid that it will hurt me, this thing is still useful for my cultivation.
"That's right!" Chang Xing patted his head and said I forgot about this, so you have to be more careful, come back after a few glances, and don't think about entering the passage!
I nodded in agreement, and stepped forward.
Because I had just experienced an eruption, there wasn't much yin qi coming in for the time being, so I walked to the entrance of the cave and looked inside, only to see a lot of ice edges hanging on the cave walls.
At this moment, it is summer, and the outdoor temperature is at least 30 degrees Celsius or more, and the outer eaves of this cave wall are all ice edges, which shows how strong those yin qi is.
I didn't get much out of it, I knew how long the passage was, so it was impossible to see what was going on inside, so I turned around and walked back.
However, before going to Su Che's house, I still reminded Chang Xingdao: "Uncle Chang, the people here must be rotated frequently, if there is still yin qi spewing out tomorrow, it is better for everyone to live outside the pit, this place is no longer suitable for ordinary people." ”
"Well, I know, whether it will be successful or not depends on tomorrow, if not, I will ask the master to decide whether to blow up this place." Chang Xing nodded and said.
Blew!
Then the whole village is gone, and this is a place that contains a lot of my memories.
But after thinking about it, there is no way to do it, who knows how much yin qi will be spewed out again in the future, this thing ordinary people will catch a bad cold if they are contaminated with a little, and it is even more life-threatening, and it must not be allowed to spread in the world.
"I'll go to Su Che's house first, and I'll see you next to Uncle Chang." I hesitated.
Follow the path in the village until we reach Su Che's house, which is indeed cleaned up and looks like we just left here yesterday.
Unfastening my backpack, I sat down on the stool, thinking to myself that Su Che didn't know where he was going, I believe I would be able to see him almost tomorrow night, right?
