Chapter Forty-Six: The Snake Demon Haunted by the Ancient Ancestral Hall

"Yinglin, did you say that what the blind mother-in-law said yesterday is true?" Beibei looked at Yang Yinglin with a mysterious expression.

"I don't know, it's not true, I think it's like a story."

"But I think it's true, there have been several homicides here recently, it's so unusual, my cousin, who is a police officer, came to my house yesterday and told me some inside information, but I told you secretly, you can't tell anyone."

Beibei mysteriously lay in Yang Yinglin's ear: "He said that there are many suspicious points in the case, the deceased has no signs of struggle before he died, and even has a shallow smile on his face, and the heart that he took out has not been found, and the wound is not smoothed out by a sharp weapon, nor can it be taken out by hand, just by this point, I feel that it is really like what the blind mother-in-law said yesterday that things have happened again, and the snake spirit has appeared in the world, confusing people and digging people's hearts." ”

"Beibei, I think you should read less ghost story books in the future, especially the "Gonzo" magazine, and don't watch those exorcism movies all day long."

"But when the blind mother-in-law said the story at the end, do you remember what she said at the end, the descendants of the Yang family will not care. She said that the descendants of the Yang family would appear, and she looked in your direction in a daze. ”

"It's unfortunate that there are three people in our class, and the mother-in-law is blind, and her eyes are stunned wherever she looks, or do you think I will collect demons?"

Beibei looked at it repeatedly, "Of course not, it's true that you have been bold since you were a child, if you really know how to collect demons, how can you still go to school by my side, you have long been walking the rivers and lakes to be a heroine to subdue demons and eliminate demons." ”

"Well, let's go home and do our homework."

Ji Ran smiled when he heard the conversation between these two people: "Yinglin's classmate Beibei has met a few times, and she has been quite interesting since she was a child. At this time, Ji Ran looked at this Beibei who was pulling Yang Yinglin to run outside the school in a hurry.

"Look, that guy is so handsome."

There's a boy outside the school, and he's obviously caught the attention of Beibei, who often gets. In fact, he has attracted the attention of many girls, in that era when school uniforms were required to be worn, compared with the group of boys who wore school uniforms and were in the development period, the boys at the school gate had caused several waves of girls to stop and discuss.

"With a tall and thin figure, fresh hair, a white face, and black sunglasses, this look is completely the rhythm of the idol drama Oba." Beibei had a expression on her face and described it emotionally.

"What is Oba?" Yang Yinglin looked at Beibei with a puzzled expression.

"You are a dirt bun, we are all middle school students, and you are still watching Sailor Moon to save the world, everyone has been watching Korean dramas recently, Oba is the collective name of the handsome little brother in Korean dramas."

"Beibei, the teacher recently said that your grades have dropped, it turns out that you have watched too many Korean dramas, and how do you know that he will be very handsome, what if the sunglasses are just pretending to be ugly."

"No, Yinglin believes me, after watching too many Korean dramas, I definitely have a good grasp of handsome guys." Beibei looked excited, and Yang Yinglin looked despised for her nymphomaniac.

Ji Ran also began to be a little interested, he followed closely behind these two people, for some reason Zhou Xuran was rarely grinding, and his expression was a little unnatural: "Mr. Zhou, what's wrong with you." Zhou Xuran didn't speak, and his expression was still a little wrong.

"Do you think we said that he has already caught his attention, and you see how I think he is coming towards us." Beibei couldn't control herself anymore.

"Beibei, you think too much, you don't know him, I don't know him, besides, the two of us are very ordinary in the crowd, how could he look for us, you really watched too many TV series."

It's just that the man really walked in front of them and stopped. Looking at Yang Yinglin and Beibei through his sunglasses, he took off his sunglasses and had a pair of cold eyes. Ji Ran's eyes widened when he saw that person's face, and he couldn't close his mouth.

Ji Ran looked at Zhou Xuran incredulously: "How could this man actually be you?" How did you end up here? How did you end up in Yinglin's illusion? ”

Zhou Xuran was already calm, his face was calm, and his expression was as usual: "What if I say that this is not an illusion." The situation now is the reality, the real thing that happened that year. He looked at the scene in front of him thoughtfully: "Yinglin's memory has been inexplicably sealed for a period of time, I once told her that we actually met a long time ago, but she didn't have any impression at all. Could this scene be the memory fragment she lost due to being sealed, just now we inexplicably heard the ghost voice of the thousand faces trying to open Yinglin's seal through the fragment of memory. ”

"Then what is the real purpose of his opening of Yinglin's seal?"

"I don't know."

Ji Ran suddenly changed his words: "I didn't expect you to know each other much earlier than me, you actually met ten years ago, why haven't I heard you say it." But having said that, Mr. Zhou, no, Mr. Zhou was also a young man back then, so thin and cold, I always thought that you were taking the route of a domineering president, I never thought that you were still taking this kind of route, you see that these little girls are still quite attractive to bees and butterflies. Ji Ran thought that it was rare for him to witness Zhou Xuran's youth, and he had to tease him, looking at Zhou Xuran, who seemed unnatural by what he said, he couldn't help laughing.

"Everyone has a young age, don't talk nonsense that you don't have."

"Okay, then let's follow and see what happened to you and Yinglin back then, I'm also curious, Yinglin lost her memory, of course she won't mention it, but why have I never heard you say it." Ji Ran put on a look of watching a good show. The two of them continued to follow Yang Yinglin and Beibei, wanting to know what happened that day.

The eye-catching strange man was standing in front of them at the moment, and he didn't speak, just looked at them with a serious expression, Yang Yinglin and him looked at each other, some unnatural eyes dodged and turned to look at Beibei, Beibei's classmates couldn't suppress their joy, and many girls around looked over, which made Yang Yinglin a little uncomfortable.

Yang Yinglin always felt weird and pulled Beibei to leave: "Classmate, I heard that there is an ancient ancestral hall not far from this school, can you please take me there." ”

"That's not to go, we've heard there's a monster in there, and several young men who have been cut out of their hearts have died recently." Beibei said mysteriously.

When Zhou Xuran heard what Beibei said, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes became even colder.

"Take me with you." He actually said to Yang Ying in a commanding tone.

"It's not safe here recently, our school has issued a notice, students should pay attention to safety, guard against strangers, I don't know you, naturally I can't take you there, what if you are a bad person, what if we are in danger, and there has been set up a closure, no people will enter at will, I will not take you there, there is a communication room and school workers, you are interested in let them take you there." Yang Yinglin replied to him, and her tone was very resolute.

As soon as Yang Yinglin finished speaking, Beibei squeezed her hand, Zhou Xuran didn't speak, but obviously stood in front of them without giving up.

Yang Yinglin decisively took Beibei to the doorman at this time, and Uncle Li happened to be on duty today. She briefly talked about the situation, but she didn't expect the person to come over very frankly, "I have no malicious intentions, I just want her to take it to the ancestral hall behind." ”

Uncle Li asked Zhou Xuran for his ID card and registered, Zhou Xuran said to Uncle Li: "If you don't feel at ease, you can go with us, or you can bring other school workers" Uncle Li glanced at Yang Yinglin, Yang Yinglin herself knew that since the incident at half past five that day, she and Uncle Li had tacitly kept the secret, and Uncle Li knew what was unusual about her.

Uncle Li hesitated for a moment: "Just take him to have a look, I'll be fine with you."

"I'm also curious, I'm going too, if you don't take him, then I'll take him." Beibei said excitedly. Yang Yinglin looked at Beibei a little helplessly, and had no choice but to come to the ancient ancestral hall with Beibei and Uncle Li with the strange boy.

Ji Ran looked at Zhou Xuran beside him and followed behind the group: "It's really exactly the same as the scene you had back then, are you sure it's not an illusion now." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Xuran replied decisively.

"Why did you come here at that time, and why did you choose Yinglin to bring you here?"

"I had just returned from abroad and had not yet taken over the company, and when I knew that I was carrying the fate of my family, I traveled around for a few years, collecting all the news about evil spirits, and on the other hand, dealing with supernatural events that happened in various places to improve my mana.

When I heard that the snake spirit of this ancient ancestral hall was doing something, I rushed over. As for meeting Yinglin completely by accident, when I arrived at the school that day, I found that there was a strong and unusual spiritual magnetic field in the crowd.

Maybe ordinary people can't feel it, but I can sense that Yinglin's spiritual power was very strong back then, and I want to find out what kind of person she is, why she has such a strong spiritual power all over her body, as a temptation, so I will ask her to take me to the demonic ancient ancestral hall to explore. Zhou Xuran fell into memories.

"I haven't seen each other for almost ten years, I don't know what happened during this period, and when I met Yinglin again, Yinglin's spiritual power was completely gone, and she became an ordinary person who just had the blood of extreme yin. Her spiritual power was sealed, and some of her memories disappeared, in fact, I always wanted to know what happened to Yinglin later. While Zhou Xuran and Ji Ran were talking, they had already followed the people in front of them to this ancient ancestral hall.

This is the first time Yang Yinglin and Beibei have come to this vicinity, and they have already set up a cordon, Yang Yinglin and Beibei are standing outside the cordon, and there are broken tiles outside the ancestral hall, which should have been smashed by the group of students when they climbed the wall. Beibei suddenly became a little frightened and hid behind Yang Yinglin, but Yang Yinglin was unexpectedly bold, she looked around, looked at the runes painted on the wall, and followed silently.

"What are you muttering?" Beibei asked her, "I didn't mutter, I was reading the words on the wall." ”

"It's really fake, you actually know, what do you mean." Beibei looked at Yang Yinglin in surprise.

"I don't know, I just followed my grandfather when I was a child to learn some ancient words, I know the runes, I don't know what it means, I've been busy with homework recently, I haven't learned it for a long time." The strange boy didn't speak, and kept looking down at the runes.

"On this sunny day, how can there be a rainbow in the sky?" Yang Yinglin exclaimed: "To be exact, it is six colors, the rainbow is not red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, why is there no red, the six-color rainbow is very strange." ”

The strange young man no longer looked at the rune and turned to look at Yang Yinglin, "You are really unusual, you can see that unusual light." ”

"Who wouldn't be able to see such a big bunch." Yang Yinglin turned around and asked Beibei: "You see that the refracted rainbow is missing a color, which is really unusual." ”

"How can there be a rainbow, why didn't I see it, I only saw the blue sky and white clouds, Uncle Li, have you seen it?" Uncle Li shook his head.

"Did you really not see it, or were you kidding?"

"It's so infiltrating here, who still has the heart to joke, Yinglin, why do I suddenly feel that something is not quite right with you, I think we should hurry up, I'm scared, we still have homework to write."

"Since you're here, you don't want to find out the truth before you leave." The strange boy came to Yang Yinglin's side and grabbed her who was about to leave.

"Do you know why I asked you to bring me here? Because you have an unusual aura that attracts me, we should be the same kind of people, able to see things that others can't. ”

Yang Yinglin paused at this moment and looked at him in surprise.

The strange young man said lightly: "I can understand the meaning of these runes, there is a snake demon in this, I am here to collect her, do you want to go in with me, it depends on your own choice, I will not be difficult." The man said it lightly, and Beibei was so frightened that she stepped back again and again, "Help, let's run, this person is strange."

Uncle Li stood still and looked at Yang Yinglin thoughtfully.

Yang Yinglin's expression was a little shaken, and the strange young man said: "There shouldn't be any danger with me, I will protect you if there is any danger, and I think you should choose to go in with me, you can leave at any time if you don't like it." The man went straight inside.

Yang Yinglin paused for a moment and chose to follow him, "Yinglin, where are you going, danger, this person is so good-looking, will he be a bewitching snake demon, you can't be fascinated by the mind, Uncle Li Yinglin is confused by the bad guys, we have to save her quickly." Seeing this, Beibei stepped forward and grabbed her.

"Beibei, I'm fine, just stay here." Then Yang Yinglin followed behind the strange boy decisively without looking back.

Ji Ran looked at Zhou Xuran beside him at this moment: "Yinglin's courage back then was not an ordinary Daha, she was as reckless as she is now, and when I saw you for the first time, I was not sure who you were, so I dared to go in with you." ”

Yang Yinglin and the young man came to the door of the ancestral hall. I saw a hideous-looking stone statue with runes on its abdomen and blood stains on it, which was the same as what the blind mother-in-law said yesterday.

"The barrier of the blockade has been opened, no wonder this snake spirit can run out and harm people." The two of them worked together to push open the somewhat broken wooden door and enter the ancient ancestral hall.

There is a big courtyard in this ancient ancestral hall, but it is empty, and there is a main hall in the courtyard, and they come to the main hall and see that there are many tablets enshrined in the south. They began to look around and noticed strange totems painted on the walls of the hall, and in the middle of the hall there were a mess of wooden niches that had fallen to the ground, candlesticks, and incense burners for sacrifice. The surrounding pillars were covered with runes drawn on golden tin foil, though many had been torn apart. In addition to the main hall, there are four dark rooms with closed doors.

Yang Yinglin was a little scared, so she followed the young man closely. The young man calmly looked around the hall and picked up the torn and damaged golden tin foil with runes written on it from the ground.

"What are you picking up these things for?" Yang Yinglin leaned in with some curiosity.

"These things are used to set up the formation, in order to seal the runes of the demons in here, and the formation has been destroyed." He took out a dagger from his coat pocket, pricked his finger and dripped blood on it, and then inserted the blood-stained dagger into the runes.

"What are you doing here?" Yang Yinglin asked curiously.

The boy didn't speak, just closed his eyes and silently recited the incantation, only to see the runes floating in the air, reflecting a new enchantment.

"In order to know the origin of this monster."

Yang Yinglin has been attracted by the refracted picture: "I didn't expect to see the previous scenes, I can't see that you still have this ability, you are a warlock, a Taoist priest or a legendary mage, why don't you look like you are dressed like you." ”

"Look at you, where all this nonsense comes from."

Yang Yinglin puffed up and continued to look at the image in the enchantment.

Ji Ran looked at the scene between the two of them in the past, and said to Zhou Xuran beside him: "I didn't expect that before, you were not only indifferent but also had a bad temper than now, but fortunately, Yinglin was a bully at that time, if it were now, she would definitely nag you to death." Zhou Xuran looked at Ji Ran on the side, and the words were still held back when they came to his lips.

The scene of this picture can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, this is the ancestral hall of the general's family, when the general's family was prosperous, fought for the country, and made great military exploits for generations. The Shogun's family is also very prestigious in the local area, and they are quite respected, and the villagers sometimes come here to make offerings.

At this time, a small snake appears in the picture.

"It should be this thing, it's this thing that made trouble."

I saw that the little snake was watching the crowd coming and going in this ancestral hall, eating sacrifices and receiving incense, and slowly began to have spirituality for a hundred years, and it was safe and sound for a hundred years, it seems that this guy is not harmful from the beginning.

Later, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were wars in various places, and the general's family was full of loyal martyrs to the death, and the last picture of this family was a tragic death in this ancestral hall, which was full of corpses, blood flowed all over the ground, and this courtyard was soaked in blood and turned red.

Seeing the scene before, Yang Yinglin jumped up in fright and grabbed the young man tightly, but the young man not only did not comfort her, but also threw her away coldly and disgustedly.
