Chapter 270: A Dark Shadow Appears
"Where is the old forest?" I asked.
Dong Gaoye pointed in a certain direction: "It's deep inside, it's a ghost nest, and hungry ghosts live there." ”
I glanced in the direction he was pointing, and there was a dense forest in the fog, and I couldn't see why.
After eating, Dong Gaoye packed up the dishes and chopsticks and left in a panic, he was also afraid of this place and didn't dare to stay longer.
The sky gradually darkened, and the drizzle did not stop, so everyone sat in their tents, waiting for the old ghost village to reappear.
There aren't many tents, so I live with Tue. Ever since he was asked about the wooden plaque, he had been frowning.
"What do you want to say when you were by the wooden sign?" I asked.
At that time, he was only halfway through his words, and Gu Qihan came over and didn't say any more.
He frowned and thought for a moment: "This formation is not only to seal the village, but also to confuse the people who come here. ”
"Confused? What do you mean? ”
He pondered the wording: "When we enter here, we will be limited by the formation. ”
What came to my mind: "When the brewing ghost came before, Second Master Wei, they couldn't hear the sound because they were affected by the formation?" ”
Tu Yi didn't nod, but thought for a while, and hesitated: "It's not all ......."
"What else is there to do?"
He hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know." ”
This guy has reached the limit of thinking so much. I won't ask him anymore, anyway, I just know that this formation will also work for those who come here.
I asked instead, "What are you frowning from the moment you found the wooden sign?" ”
"I obviously remember that I had seen those runes, but I can't remember when I saw them." He said distressedly.
"If you can't think about it, don't think about it first, the more you dwell on it, the more you can't remember it, maybe eat a meal and sleep, and suddenly remember." I said.
He nodded, but still frowned.
The sky was completely dark, the old ghost village still did not appear, the mountain wind blew, the night was getting cooler, and after arranging the night watchman, everyone pulled up the tent and got into the sleeping bag.
Because they couldn't trust each other, they went out of each other during the vigil and divided into three shifts. Gu Qihan and Shu Fei will always stay in the first class, Lao Chen and I will be in the second class, and Tu E and Chaolin will be in the third class.
In the middle of the night, I was woken up by Su Feiyong and got up to change shifts. I was half-asleep, my mind was groggy. The middle shift is undoubtedly the most painful, the front and back shifts are just going to bed late and getting up early, but the middle section is to be woken up when you are in the deepest sleep, and after the wind blows to wake up completely, you go back to sleep.
I got dressed and pulled up the tent. Come to the warm fire before they were burning. Lao Chen was already waiting there.
I don't quite understand why I was arranged to be in the middle of Lao Chen Shou, Lao Chen is old, and my ability is not as good as Tu Yi and Gu Qihan. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't fit.
"The old ghost village never showed up at midnight." Old Chen said suddenly.
I was stunned for a moment, and he saw my doubts.
"Why?" Midnight is the time when the yin energy is at its strongest, and it is the time when demons and monsters are most likely to appear.
Anyway, the reason why the two of us were arranged to guard the middle section was because the old ghost village would not appear during this time.
"The reappearance of the old ghost village is indeed related to the formation laid down, although this formation is weak, but when the yin qi is heavy at midnight, the energy is the strongest, so the old ghost village will not appear during this time." He said.
When they heard him say this, they knew about it. What are they really hiding about the old ghost village, what about Second Master Wei? Does she know about these?
"Generally speaking, when the yin qi is the heaviest, it is the time when the occult witchcraft is the weakest, how can this formation still have the strongest energy?" I asked.
"Maybe the people who set up the formation expected this, so they adjusted the formation and did the opposite."
I nodded, and that's all I could understand.
I looked at Lao Chen, was silent for a moment, and asked, "When did you join the Southern Festival?" ”
Lao Chen did not shy away from it at all: "I joined a long time ago, and this industry is not as easy to do as it used to be in these years, so in order to make a living, I have to find some other way out." ”
"Why did you come with them this time?"
Clear-eyed people can see that they have another purpose for this trip, and I won't be stupid enough to ask him directly about the real reason for this trip, but the most incomprehensible thing in their group is the existence of Lao Chen, he is neither an ignorant newcomer, nor is he as evil as Chaolin, neither of these are touched, then there is only one last possibility - he is the confidant of the Southern Law Society.
He seemed to see through my thoughts and said, "I have always only done what I do, and I don't ask about other people's things. ”
I answered, I didn't believe it, after all, I didn't know Lao Chen well, although we were the same family, and he was my nominal master, but we only met once.
There was no talk for a while. The mountain breeze blew, and the fine rain was blown in, and a burst of coolness dispelled the last trace of sleepiness.
"How are you learning with Malai?" Lao Chen was chatting with something.
"It's okay, but what do you want to think about when you're old, can you talk to me first, that divine seal I always thought was an ordinary token!"
He laughed dryly: "I'm also afraid that you won't agree, Ma Lao won't easily save people, unless you are a member of our family, and I am here to save you." ”
"Thank you."
He confessed to getting me started. No matter what the result of Old Man Ma's actions at that time was, the moment the divine seal was given to me, I was already a "quasi-disciple" of their lineage!
Even after so much time, I'm still a little unhappy, it's not a big deal, since he is trying to save me, I will make my own choice to make things clear, and I can't get me into the industry through this deceptive way. It made me feel like there was something else going on.
I looked at Lao Chen and was about to say something, when I suddenly noticed a dark shadow next to the tent behind him!
My heart shook, who is that black shadow? When was it there? How I didn't notice it in the slightest!
The shadow stood motionless by the tent, as if it hadn't noticed us.
"What......" Lao Chen saw that my expression was wrong, and wanted to ask.
I immediately motioned for him to be silenced. Old Chen Dun knew that the situation was not right, and stopped speaking.
I stood up lightly and walked cautiously towards the shadow. When the hell did this shadow come, and why didn't we hear any movement?
Let's go. A crisp sound came from under my feet, and I was startled, and I scolded in my heart for throwing the snack packaging bag here! Isn't that a bad thing? In this group, it seems that only Qiu Yitong brought snacks over.
The dark shadow heard the noise and ran out of the room.
