Chapter 151: Wu Man
I was suddenly pushed by Shen Yichen, and I fell down. Fortunately, Ouyang Ze supported me, looking at the back of Ming Yichen who was in a hurry to leave, and felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.
I don't know if he went back in such a hurry to save Long Jiaojiao or something else, in short, it was impossible for him to go back to save Shaoqing in such a hurry.
Ouyang Ze looked at me and let go of my hand, I wanted to go back and take a look but was stopped by him.
"Aunt Qiao, you can't go back now!"
Ouyang Ze looked at me with a somewhat complicated expression, but the tone in which this title spoke to him was full of banter.
I was a little angry but couldn't shake it off, and said angrily, "What? I didn't expect you to listen to Ming Yichen like this now? ”
Ouyang Ze looked at me and didn't speak, which made me start to feel a little unnatural. I thought to myself, could I have guessed correctly?! It's just that he didn't expect Ming Yichen's hand to stretch out so long, and even Ouyang Ze was bought by him.
"Auntie, you're thinking too much. It's just that now the people in it can protect themselves, and only if you go, you have to have someone protect you. I think it's easier to protect you right here than to let you go in and risk your protection. ”
Ouyang Ze said with a smile, but I was almost vomited blood by him. Affection I have for him is a drag oil bottle, and it's also king-sized.
"You!"
I pointed to his nose and couldn't say a word for a long time.
He turned his head with a smile and looked at the ancient village not far away as if nothing had happened. The inside of the stockade was already noisy, and the blue glow was accompanied by red flames.
After a while, a fire broke out in the village, and the fire became more and more ferocious. Ouyang Ze pulled me towards the upper reaches of the river, although I was dragged by him, I was still tired and a little out of breath.
I don't know why, I'm a little worried about Shen Yichen. But the thought was fleeting, and I thought my mind might be pumping to worry about him.
And in terms of his abilities, the last thing I should worry about is him.
"Who are those?"
Ouyang Ze finally stopped, and at this time we were already standing on top of another mountain. Standing here, I could clearly see the ancient village under the mountain, and I asked while panting and squatting.
"You're asking over there?"
Ouyang Ze looked at the raging fire under the mountain and asked.
"Of course, the ones who suddenly appeared and were still emitting blue light." As I spoke, I looked up at the stockade that was drowning in flames, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Such a big fire wouldn't cause a forest fire, right?" ”
Ouyang Ze looked at me and suddenly showed a mysterious smile and said, "These are not our common fireworks in the world, so they won't burn the mountains here." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the small river at the foot of the mountain and said, "Look, this small river has a circle around this ancient village. It is to block the two worlds of yin and yang. ”
I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard this, and when I looked down, it was indeed the case. Is the person who thinks about that stockade really a ghost? But when I first entered, it looked a little strange, but when people came out, they were just ordinary residents.
It's just that what makes me wonder is that those monsters that glow with blue light don't know what they are, and I don't know if it's because of us.
If it's really us who brought them in, then I'm really sorry for them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had this calamity.
Ouyang Ze seemed to see what I was thinking, walked up to me and sat down and said, "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with you at all, this ancient village, including those glowing blue Wuman, is destined to happen here." ”
He said and looked back at me, and I looked at him a little strangely, not understanding what he was saying. He patted a rock next to him, which was flat after all, and I looked at it and sat down.
He took off his coat and put it on me and said with a smile, "Looks like you're ready to listen to this story, although I don't think it's appropriate for a girl to be in such an environment." But you're not a girl, you're an aunt. ”
I didn't expect him to make a joke about me at such a time, glaring at him angrily and ignoring him.
"This ancient village is actually a ghost village, and they were born to live here so immortally. The same thing is repeated every day, and during the day they disappear and at night the rooster crows three times before the day begins. When it was dawn, he would return home and disappear without a trace.
Even if there is nothing burned here tonight, wait until the moment when the sun rises tomorrow. It will be back to its original appearance, and in the evening they will come out as usual to start their day. And they won't remember anything that happened tonight.
However, there is one exception, and that is the owner of the village. ”
Ouyang Ze said and turned his head to look at me, I couldn't help but be stunned. I tried to think about the difference between the thin old man I had just met and the others.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, I didn't find any obvious difference between him and the others, but I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him. What kind of loneliness it must be to drive people to sit in the same thing day after day.
"Why?"
"Because he's the only living person living here."
I couldn't help but be stunned as I listened, I could barely imagine what it would be like for a living person to drink so many ghosts living together. But I suddenly thought of another question, is there really an immortal person in this world?!
"Won't he die?"
I still couldn't help but go back and ask Ouyang Ze.
"No, he's going to die. It's just that before he dies, he will go out of the mountain and choose a boy to bring here to teach him to be the next owner of the village. ”
I couldn't help but be stunned, is it possible that every few decades there will be a child lost in this neighborhood? Just to protect such a ghost village, to deprive a life of freedom.
It's hard to imagine what a child would be like if he lived in such an environment for a long time, but now that I think about it, the cloudy eyes of the thin old man obviously have lost a trace of life.
Ouyang Ze saw that I was sitting a little gloomy, so he patted me on the shoulder and said, "This is originally the law of survival here, you may have the ability to help many people, but not everyone." And you can't help everyone choose their lifestyle, in fact, it's probably the best one for him.
At the very least, in this way, this ghost village can still exist here safely. Hundreds of years or even longer, but if this ancient village is destroyed, you won't be able to come here today to look for the Ice Silkworm Gu to save others. And if the lonely souls in here don't have a place to go, they are likely to go back and harass the normal residents outside the mountain. ”
I knew that Ouyang Ze's words were very reasonable, but I was a little difficult to accept for a while. He patted me on the back and comforted me, and I took a deep breath and sat up.
In fact, many times it is difficult to understand things, but in fact, it is precisely necessary for it to exist objectively. I didn't think I was any different from other people, but I saw things that others couldn't.
And I've been suffering from it, but what can I do? Since fate has been arranged in this way, I can only accept it gladly, but in the process of accepting it, I will try to make myself and the people around me live a better life.
I saw that Ouyang Ze also seemed to be a little infected by my emotions, and hurriedly asked, "Then do you know what those blue lights that suddenly came out of nowhere?" ”
He looked at it and suddenly laughed again, and said, "That's also a human being, but it's a dead man!" ”
He said that he deliberately approached unexpectedly to scare me, but fortunately I had gotten used to his usual cold and crazy personality. Just looked at him coldly, and he also felt a little disappointed that he was boring.
"Those who are more dead than human, and they were once part of this ancient village. It's just that later, in order to compete for this Ice Silkworm Gu, it was divided into two branches. On one side are the souls of the ancient village life, and on the other side are the blue-eyed living dead you see. ”
I couldn't help but look at my feet, thinking that I had kicked a living dead last night. I don't know if there will be any smell left behind, but maybe the living dead will come back to avenge themselves, right?!
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but have a cold war, and turned my head to find Ouyang Ze looking at me strangely. I turned my head weakly and asked, "Then did they come here tonight to grab the Cold Ice Silkworm Gu?" ”
"I guess so, I'm not sure about that."
Ouyang Ze said as he spoke, but his eyes kept paying attention to the ancient village in the fire below, and I couldn't help but feel a little strange when I looked at him. Long Jiaojiao didn't seem to know how to know the things here, and how could he know so clearly.
And what he just said is clear-eyed, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like nonsense. But he grew up in a big city, how could he know about things here.
I couldn't help but be a little suspicious, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "How do you know?" And it's so clear? ”
When he saw me asking him so seriously, he was also stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I listened to the owner of the village, I came earlier than you, so I chatted with the owner of the village for a while." ”
"What about Shen Yichen? Don't say you're all together! ”
Seeing that I didn't believe it, he hurriedly explained: "Of course not, I didn't worry that you and Guang Shaoqing would come together, so I secretly followed." I just didn't expect you to walk slowly, so I arrived first.
But I can assure you that when I arrived, Shen Yichen was already with the village master. If it weren't for him, I guess the owner of the village wouldn't have told me so much. ”
I looked at him and still felt that there were a lot of doubts, but I couldn't figure it out for a while. And I'm here this time to save Xiaowen, as for the others, it's best to avoid them as much as possible.
So I reluctantly thought that what Ouyang Ze said was true, and after learning about this, I began to worry about the Ice Silkworm Gu. I don't know if it was snatched away by Wu Man, and I don't know if the fire will threaten the Gu worm.
As I was thinking about it, I heard the leaves rustling from all directions. And it became more and more urgent, as if something was coming around.
Ouyang Ze hurriedly made a silent gesture for me, stood up and looked around vigilantly. I was so scared that I hid behind him and didn't dare to come out, but after he turned around. I noticed a man crouching under a tree staring at us, and at me to be exact.
