Chapter Twenty-Seven: Yin and Yang Village
"Go back first?" I glanced back at my brother, and then asked softly.
Senior Brother nodded helplessly: "Since he has left, there is no need for us to stay in this place for longer." Let's go back! ”
I feel a little unwilling in my heart, but it has come to such a time, and there is really no other way. We've been out for almost a whole day today, and if we don't go back, it's going to get dark. In addition, it had rained all day, and the mountain road was difficult, so we had to hurry up.
After a brief discussion with my brother, we decided to bypass the row of dilapidated houses.
That dilapidated house is a little weird.
We went up a small road in Snake Gully, and the mountain road was slippery, so we walked extra carefully. I finally came to the top of the mountain, and the sky was gradually darkening.
And I saw a puffy cloud floating in the sky, as if the moon was slowly obscuring.
The most strange thing is that I saw the moonlight shining through the floating clouds and emitting bursts of drunken red light, which was very faint, but it made me feel uneasy.
"Senior brother, look ......" I pointed to the moon in the sky, and then whispered to my senior brother, "What's going on?" ”
The senior brother's brows furrowed, as if he realized something, and hurriedly said, "Is it July and a half today?" ”
I thought about it carefully, and then subconsciously nodded: "Yes, if you count it, today is exactly half of July." ”
"This sucks!" There was a hint of solemnity in the senior brother's eyes.
I also really want to be able to feel the faint faint faint yin aura between the mountains and forests, when I came here, I was already familiar with the surrounding roads, and hurriedly said to my senior brother: "In this case, let's go back quickly!" ”
"I'm afraid it's too late......"
At this time, the senior brother said something for no reason.
I didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, so I could only look at my brother with some strange eyes.
The senior brother didn't explain too much, but held his peachwood sword tightly in his hand, went all the way forward, and walked again, and it took us nearly an hour or so before we arrived at the entrance of the village.
And everything around me was a little shocking.
I saw that the lights of every house were dim, as if none of them were resting. Although it is still too early to rest at this point, I have never seen the whole village so well lit, and the most strange thing is that even the lights are still on in the homes of people who are not inhabited.
I subconsciously looked at my home and found that the lights were also on.
"What's going on?" I scratched my head, a little strange: "Could it be that I didn't turn off the lights when I came out?" ”
The strangest thing is that the surrounding cold is biting, you must know that this is the middle of July, and it is also the hottest time of the year, and you can sweat all over your bare shoulders, although it has just rained, but this biting chill makes me feel like falling into the middle of winter.
The air seemed to be frozen into frost, unusually heavy, and even the moment I inhaled it, I felt a tingling pain.
"That's not a light!" Senior brother glanced at me, but his eyes were unusually vigilant: "This village has changed, look carefully, where did the light come from?" ”
Hearing this, he wiped his eyes again and took two steps forward. Only then did I find that the little light was glowing with a faint green glow. It didn't come from somewhere else, and in front of every house, there were two white lanterns.
Seeing this, I felt a little tingling in my scalp.
You must know that white lanterns are hung, but they will only be hung after someone dies in the family, which is also exquisite, called funeral lanterns. When the old man went, I used to tie a paper lantern, which is a sign of bad luck, could it be that so many people died in the village at once?
Or did the infant spirit come back and slaughter the entire village?
But if so many people really died, why was the whole village silent? Who hung this lantern?
"I heard that there is a Panlong Well in the village?" At this time, the senior brother looked at me and asked, "Take me over!" ”
I nodded, realizing that something wasn't right. So without any hesitation, he hurriedly took his senior brother towards Panlongjing.
When we came to the Panlong Well, we slowly descended the stone stairs. An even more bizarre scene appeared, there was not even a drop of water in the Panlong Well, and the original water surface seemed to be dry at this time, as if it wanted to crack.
"It's impossible, it's just rained today!"
I cried out, "Even if there is no water in the well, there will be a lot of water on this day." ”
I don't know why, today the whole well is full of weirdness, the water of this Panlong Well has never been dry, even when there was a great drought a few years ago, there is still water in the Panlong Well, and now, the whole Panlong Well has actually dried up.
"Let's go up first!"
Senior Brother's face looked unusually pale, and after looking at me, he said, "I'm afraid it's not going to be easy tonight!" ”
"What?" I glanced at my senior brother a little strangely, and then asked softly, "Do you know anything?" ”
"I'm not too sure, let's go back to the house!" Senior brother whispered to me, "Don't come out tonight, no matter what happens." Otherwise, I'm afraid the gods will be difficult to save! ”
Hearing my brother's words, I realized that the matter was even more serious than I had imagined.
I've never seen my senior brother so solemn, so I nodded subconsciously. Our group left Panlongjing and hurried towards our house, there was no sound along the way, and the whole village was dead silent, except for the two white paper lanterns hanging at the door, which shone with a faint green light.
It made me wonder if I had gone somewhere else.
But the layout of the rooms in the village is not the slightest deviation from my impression.
And at this time, a story that my grandfather told me a long time ago gradually came to my mind, thinking of this, I suddenly shuddered all over my body, looked at the senior brother next to me and asked, "This is a Yin Yang Village?" ”
"I can't be wrong!"
Senior brother patted me and hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's find a safe place quickly!" ”
Hearing this, I stopped talking and hurried towards my house.
Grandpa once said that there is a kind of village called Yin Yang Village! The so-called Yin-Yang Village is no different from an ordinary village in an ordinary state. Only when the yin qi is at its strongest, coupled with the rampant resentment, will the other side gradually be revealed.
And the other side is like yin and yang.
There is no deviation other than the reversal.
So the architecture here is almost exactly the same as I remembered, but this is no longer the village I am familiar with. Or maybe we are on the dark side of the whole village, as if we were the heads and tails of a palm.
The yang side of the Yin and Yang Village is inhabited by people, and the yin side is inhabited by ghosts!
Generally speaking, it doesn't get upside down, but when it does, that's the real big problem.
The old man didn't say anything else, and my understanding of Yinyang Village only stopped there. But I realized that this village was more mysterious than I had imagined, and I suddenly realized that the old man had settled here because it was a yin-yang village.
"But why?"
My brow furrowed, and there was a solemnity in my eyes.
While we were talking, we had come to our old home.
Above my old house, there are still two white lanterns, which shine with a faint green light. To be honest, this kind of light made my heart chill a little, and I finally understood where that piercing chill came from, in fact, it was panic.
The yin side of Yinyang Village is inhabited by ghosts, so naturally the temperature is the most comfortable temperature for ghosts.
Back in the old house, we quickly pushed the door shut.
I quickly found some firewood and put it in the house. He glanced at the senior brother beside him a little strangely and asked, "Don't you feel cold?" ”
"I'm fine, but you'd better not start a fire. Fire is the sun, and if the surrounding ghosts feel the light of the fire, there is a good chance that they will converge! The senior brother whispered to me, "Be careful here alone!" ”
"What are you going to do?" At this moment, I had some doubts.
"Find a way out, if we can't get out before dawn, we can only be trapped here for the rest of our lives, or wait until the next time the yin and yang are reversed to find an opportunity!" The senior brother gently patted me on the shoulder, and then continued, "If I don't come back, don't leave this house." Although this is the dark side, it is your ancestral home after all, and with the blessing of your ancestors, even if those ghosts covet you, they will definitely not hurt you! But once you get out of this house, even your ancestors may not be able to keep you! ”
“……”
Hearing these words made my scalp tingle: "Is it as evil as you say?" ”
"Look!" The senior brother glanced out, with a hint of worry in his eyes: "The truly terrifying thing has just begun!" It's just nightfall. If I'm not mistaken, the infant spirit and the woman should also be in this village, and if it weren't for this, such a reversal of yin and yang would not have happened. ”
"I'll go with you!"
I said with a deep breath.
In fact, I also understood that we had to get out of here. Even if I'm safe in this house, I won't be able to last a few days, I can't stay in this house for the rest of my life, and if I say anything else, I'll starve to death in less than a week!
"It's done!" Senior Brother paused slightly: "You have the Heavenly Master Seal on your body, plus the twenty-four grade magic talismans. If we walk together, we will have a better chance of finding the way! ”
