Chapter 8 Chen Clan Ancestral Hall

Huang Long felt very strange today.

Last night, I was injured by the student who didn't know where I came from, and I was extremely depressed, so I bought a drink, sat on the side of the road and drank it. Later, when the wine was strong and the cold wind blew, I didn't know anything. When I woke up again, I just couldn't say uncomfortable, thinking that it was because I was drinking and suffering from cold and hurt my stomach, so I thought about going to the snack street to find some porridge and other breakfast to nourish my stomach. Before the porridge was found, I saw an extremely innocent beauty sitting at the door of the rice noodle shop, and she was lustful at that time. Who knew that it was the beautiful woman from yesterday, and even the flower messenger who was extremely fierce yesterday was there, he didn't dare to make any more pretentiousness, so he retreated resignedly, and had already greeted the eighteenth generation of the student's ancestors one by one in his heart.

"It's obsessive."

Huang Long spat on the side of the road, and walked around the snack street.

"Go straight."

An inexplicable thought appeared in Huang Long's mind, this thought was different from the ordinary idea of determining action, there was a sense of irresistibility from the depths of his soul.

"This ......"

Huang Long found that he had lost control of his body, and the original leisurely stroll had turned into a stiff stride like a machine, and a disgusting scene appeared in his mind, blood, broken limbs, and broken bones kept switching in his mind like a slide, and a suffocating sense of fear arose, and his stomach began to tumble over. Huang Long wanted to call for help, but he couldn't make a sound, and his open mouth turned into a weird smile. With his head tilted, he walked into the bustling crowd of people in the snack street.

Huang Long was led along like this, his heart was terrified, the cold sweat from his body had already soaked the thin short sleeves, he didn't know what the situation was now, why he couldn't control his body at all. The thought in his mind had now taken him around several alleys, and at first he had roughly guessed where he was, but later he had no idea where he was, only that he was walking towards a certain destination in a shanty town near the snack street.

"What the is going on?"

……

chased out of the store, but found that there was still Huanglong on the bustling snack street.

"Damn, we can't let that ghoul run away anymore."

With a horizontal heart, regardless of the strange gazes of others, a magic seal glowing with golden light appeared in his hand.

"Heavenly Eye, Kai!"

The intricate Heavenly Eye emblem reappeared at the center of my eyebrows, and the power of my soul spread again. This is the skill brought to me by the Heavenly Eye, which can allow my soul power to leave my body and detect the demonic qi within a radius of several miles, even if the Yellow Dragon is fast, it is impossible to escape the peep of my Heavenly Eye.

The creaking of a tricycle, the boiling of boiling water in a pot, the chatting of diners, and the smoke and mist of cooking smoke from the breakfast stall came to my mind with the power of my soul. Closing my eyes and focusing on the information brought by my soul power, I saw two car owners arguing on the road outside the snack street because of scraping, I saw a girl who lost her temper with her boyfriend, and I also saw Xun Qingzi, who was still sitting in the breakfast shop, a little surprised that I left suddenly, but the figure of Huanglong disappeared without a trace like a stone sinking into the sea.

When I opened my eyes, my brain was groggy, my current soul power could not support me to do such a large-scale search, ten minutes was already my limit, if I didn't stop, it was very likely that my soul would be damaged and become demented. Unfortunately, these ten minutes did not help me determine the location of Huang Long, and it seems that I can only find another way.

"He has the breath of that ghoul on him, which means that he has only been in contact with the ghoul not long ago, and it has only been seven or eight hours since the ghoul escaped last night and I saw him in the snack street this morning, and it can only be somewhere around here. Besides, if the ghoul is so badly injured, he must have to absorb the corpse qi to recover himself, that is, to find a place where the corpses are more concentrated. I bowed my head and muttered to myself.

It's impossible to go to the autopsy building, and the place where the remaining corpses are concentrated is nothing more than a funeral parlor, mass grave and the like, but I'm really not familiar with Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and I've been in the school since the day before yesterday, if I hadn't been looking for another place to spend the night last night, I guess I wouldn't even come to this snack street just across the wall from the school.

As he was frowning and thinking about where to find the ghoul, he glanced at the breakfast stall next to him, where a shirtless middle-aged man was busy behind a steamer. By the way, you can ask the owners of the breakfast stalls, most of them are locals, and many even live in the vicinity for the convenience of opening stalls.

"Uncle, here are two buns."

I leaned in and said with a smile.

The uncle didn't raise his head, and asked loudly in a rough voice:

"Vegetable buns or meat buns?"

"Meat buns."

"Two meat buns!" The uncle loudly reminded the shopkeeper in the back to keep accounts, and at the same time quickly took out two fragrant buns from the steamer, put them in a plastic bag, and handed them to me, "A total of five yuan, support WeChat payment." ”

"Here you go," I pulled out five dollars, handed it over, and then asked, "By the way, uncle, do you know where there is a funeral parlor or an ancestral hall or something like that around here?" ”

The uncle paused, raised his head, and looked at me warily through the mist drifting from the steamer.

"Uncle, don't get me wrong, I'm a student at Shenzhen-Hong Kong University next to me, studying traditional culture, and I want to go to the funeral home or ancestral hall to learn about traditional Chinese funeral culture."

I hurriedly waved my hand and explained nonsense.

The uncle's face softened a little, thought for a while, and said in a thick accent:

"Little doll, you are asking the right person, there is a shanty town on the west side of this street, and there is a Chen family ancestral hall in the middle, I heard that it has a history of hundreds of years, and it is said that the ancestors of the Chen family who have died for several generations are really buried underground, you go there to see."

After thanking my uncle, I walked towards the shantytown. The ghoul still has to solve this big problem as soon as possible, in case it really hides in the Chen family ancestral hall and is recovered by it, then the entire shanty town will suffer.

The scene of the shantytown is very different from the bustling snack street, with dense buildings, cobwebbed wires, clutter in the aisles, and even sewage flowing all over the ground, and the sound of rats on the garbage heaps on the roadside, it is hard to imagine that there is such a backward place in the middle of the big city of Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

"Hello, let me ask, do you know how to get to this Chen family ancestral hall?"

I didn't expect to find the Chen family ancestral hall in this cobweb-covered dilapidated alley, and when I saw an old man enjoying the shade on the side of the road, I leaned over and asked.

The old man's hearing was obviously not very good, and I repeated the question again, and it dawned on him that he replied:

"You're going to the Chen Family Ancestral Hall? The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall has not been peaceful lately. ”

The old man's words aroused my interest, and I handed over the bun I had just bought, and asked:

"This is the bun I just bought, it's still hot, you eat, tell me why the ancestral hall is not peaceful?"

When he saw the bun I handed over, the old man smiled and pulled me to sit on the matza next to him.

"Young man, don't you know, this Chen family ancestral hall is evil. I heard from the Chen family I know that this ancestral hall is different from other ancestral halls, and all the deceased members of the Chen family are really buried in it, who will bury people in the ancestral hall? You say weird, it's not strange. The old man looked at me, saw that I echoed me, and continued, "Last night, I was walking near the ancestral hall, and I saw a young man with dyed yellow hair walking drunkenly towards the ancestral hall. It was a very hot day, but last night there was a sudden wind, I was afraid of catching a cold and hurried home, just lay down and prepared to sleep, I heard a noise outside the door, my wife went out to ask, said that there was something going on in the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. I went over to see that a few strong young men were about to open the door of the ancestral hall, but suddenly they were lifted away, and the old man who flew was high, and he fell to the ground grinning in pain. The people on the Chen family said that their ancestors had apparitions, put some offerings in front of the door, burned some paper money, and beckoned us to go home and sleep. I also said that there was a thief who came into the ancestral hall to steal things, and those people in the Chen family didn't believe anything, but it turned out to be okay, and something happened this morning. ”

"What's wrong?"

I asked hurriedly.

"I heard," the old man leaned over and said in a low voice, "When the Chen family opened the ancestral hall this morning, a big hole was cut in the ground, and the spiritual seat inside was destroyed in a mess. What do you say is not a thief? Those old men of the Chen family still didn't believe what I said. Now the government has come. ”

The words of this old man were very similar to the various manifestations of the ghouls, and I became excited, it seems that this ghoul is really hiding in the ancestral hall, and the ghoul must have sensed the corpse energy contained in the catacombs and dug a big hole in the ground.

"Then do you know how to get to the Chen family ancestral hall?"

I calmed down my excitement and asked in a low voice.

The old man glanced at me, and seemed very surprised at me, a newborn calf who knew that there was a problem in the ancestral hall, but he didn't say anything, raised his hand and pointed to a palace-style roof in the distance, and said:

"That's it, just go in that direction. But young man, don't blame the old man for not reminding you that the ancestral hall is evil. ”

"Thank you, sir, I'll take care of it myself."

……

Huang Long was already frightened.

He was dragged into the Chen family ancestral hall by the strange thought in his heart, ignoring the cordon raised by the police, and walked slowly and stiffly, even if the police kept coming up behind him to stop him, the thoughts in his heart always let him cleverly dodge. It was the first time in his history that he wished he had been caught by the police.

The ancestral hall was extremely dim, and the only light was the half-open door, which was supposed to be lit with candles, and the floor was covered with a thick layer of dust, as if no one had cleaned it for a long time. There were cobwebs in the corners of the walls, and even on the altar, a faint musty smell lingered in the room. The most terrifying thing was the bottomless hole in the ground, the deep darkness swallowed up all the light, and Huang Long couldn't see any of it. He prayed inwardly that strange thought would not instruct him to go on, but his stiff muscles and limbs did not respond to his command. Just walked straight and straight, and stepped into the abyss.
