075 Where Did the Disappeared Go?
Hearing Su Yueze say this, I turned around and walked back with a face.
But before he could take a few steps, he was confronted by a man in his twenties, with an angry face.
I was already flustered and weak, and sometimes this man appeared out of nowhere, and I was half a beat slower to react and collided with him.
"Don't you have eyes?"
Before I could apologize, the man scolded and pointed at my nose, "Didn't the eyes come out of the womb?" ”
As he spoke, he shoved me hard.
I was pushed back a few steps, and the feeling of panic became even stronger, and Su Yueze also snorted in pain.
I clutched my heart, my legs were so weak that I didn't even have the strength to stand, and I bent over and squatted on the ground.
"If you want to die, hurry up and stay away." The man said in a vicious voice: "You girls, none of them are troublesome. ”
After saying that, he left in a rage.
I looked in the direction he had left, and found a high-walled courtyard with glazed tiles on the roof.
I struggled to my feet, almost dragging my sore legs a little further.
The strange thing is that when I walked a little farther, the feeling of suffocation disappeared in an instant, and I had strength in my legs.
Su Yueze said: "I blame me for this, mainly because I'm afraid of the yard." ”
After speaking, he paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "This feeling is like the big pit I entered when I entered Longfu Temple. ”
I understood what he meant, "You mean this is the same as Longfu Temple?" ”
"It's different." "This scares me even more," he said. ”
My heart trembled, I wanted to use some way to suppress the discomfort and go in to take a look, but now when I hear him say this, I don't dare to do it.
"Who are you? What are you doing standing on the back wall of my house? I was startled by a voice behind me, and turned my head to see a man in his thirties, wearing slippers and a coat.
I looked at the wall on my right and explained, "I live at the village chief's house, and I can't sleep at night, so I go out for a walk. ”
He squinted at me, with a sick look on his head: "What are you going to do, hurry back to sleep." ”
I smiled and walked past him to the village chief's house.
He yawned and entered the courtyard through the side door of the courtyard wall.
When he had entered, I went back again, only to find that the high-walled courtyard I had seen was gone.
"Why is it gone? I just saw the man walk in. I said with a frown.
Su Yueze said: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, go back first." ”
I answered, hurried back to the village chief's house, woke Huang Shanjun up, and told him what I had seen at night.
"Congcong, is it too dark, are you wrong?" Huang Shanjun said.
I said for sure, "No way, I saw it clearly, and I ran into the man." ”
Huang Shanjun sat down and hesitated: "Then what you see is the family temple in the mouth of the village chief?" ”
"But didn't he say that the family temple is invisible?" I said with a frown.
He replied: "The village chief said this, it is likely that the people in the village have not seen it, in fact, before the disappearance of those two Taoist priests, they once called the sixth master, saying that they saw an extremely strange phenomenon, and they will report to the sixth master in detail after verification, and the strange thing is that they lost their news the next day." ”
"You mean it's this high-walled courtyard that they're seeing?" I said.
He nodded, "Possibly." ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Tomorrow I will go around the village during the day, ask others if they know about the courtyard, and then we will go and see it together in the evening." ”
"That's the only way to go." He said.
I went back to my room and couldn't sleep when I lay down.
If the family temple is the same as Longfu Temple, then why did the family temple suddenly appear?
And there was a man who walked in, which was even more incredible, when I was in Longfu Temple, Huang Shanjun and I were just souls entering, and people were lying in the yellow mud at all.
Perhaps, something happened that made people able to see the family temple.
I thought about it again and again, and finally found that I could only conclude that something must have happened to make the family temple in the same situation as Longfu Temple visible.
Just as he was thinking about it, his chest suddenly cooled, and his heart began to panic again.
I whimpered uncomfortably, hunched over, and in just a few seconds my head was covered in cold sweat, and my head was getting heavier and heavier.
I felt like I was about to faint in pain, but in the blink of an eye I woke up in pain.
The coolness in his chest gradually decreased, but it always seemed like a small Xiaoice cone was pierced in his heart.
"Close your eyes and take a deep breath." Su Yueze said suddenly.
I busied myself doing as he was told, and after taking a few deep breaths, I noticed that the coolness of the ice pick-sized piece in my heart spread again, this time no longer the usual cold, but the gloomy cold.
Gradually, Su Yueze appeared in front of me, he seemed to be lying face to face with me, and I could see the essence on his face floating outward.
I don't know how long it took, the coolness on his body disappeared completely, Su Yueze's figure was empty, and he looked very bad.
"Su Yueze, you ......"
Before I finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "This is the Soul Seal, and I will voluntarily give you all my Yin Qi and Essence Qi." ”
"Why?" I regret this sentence a little, in fact, I have already guessed some reasons, but I don't know how to deal with it.
I hurriedly said, "Why don't I go back this time and go to Mr. and get you out of my body." ”
He blackened his face and said angrily, "You hate me so much? ”
"No, I'm afraid of you......" I was halfway through when he waved his hand impatiently and could no longer be seen.
I called him twice, but he didn't answer.
I sighed and couldn't help but smile wryly, I would rather he did it for his own purpose, even if it was to calculate me, but he was just here to help me.
If I take away his essence like this, after a long time, his soul will be completely devoured by me, and there will be no more Su Yueze in the Three Realms and Five Elements.
I'm not worth it for him to do that.
The more I thought about it, the more guilty I became, I shouldn't have agreed to seal him in my body at that time.
"Su Yueze, thank you." I said sincerely, "I won't let you disappear." ”
He still didn't move.
Suddenly there was a slight noise outside, and I sat up sharply, and saw something hanging from the window, the shape I was familiar with.
It's a stone brand!
I hurriedly went to the ground and took down the stone sign, and this time I wrote two paragraphs on the back, the first sentence was: Family temple holy land, Buddha road protection, Mo Chuang.
The second sentence is: Soul sealing evil art, withdraw as soon as possible.
I opened the door and looked around the yard, but I still didn't see anyone.
Back in the house, I sat down on a stool with a stone sign, thinking about the meaning of these two sentences.
The meaning of these two sentences is very simple, the first sentence means that the family temple is protected by Buddha and Tao, and I can't break in; The second sentence is that soul sealing is an evil art, so let me stop as soon as possible.
It seems that the person who gave me the stone tablet is familiar with my whereabouts and knows everything about me.
However, according to the rules of the previous times, what the owner of this stone tablet did not let me do is what I really need to do.
Because what I want is exactly what the owner of the stone plaque doesn't want me to get, I want to enter this business completely, I want to find Xiao Yu and my father, and the owner of the stone plaque seems to want to get away from all this.
As for the Soul Seal......
I smiled bitterly in my heart, this is even more unstoppable, I need to have the ability to protect myself in a short period of time, and I can only rely on sealing my soul.
With this in mind, I put the tablet in my bag and decided to go to the temple to have a look.
After such a toss, I fell asleep in the second half of the night, and the village chief came to call me for dinner at about seven o'clock in the morning.
I stood up, finished eating, and sat in the courtyard in a daze.
Huang Shanjun smiled and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I yelled at Nunu in the house, "The village chief seems to be going out." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief came out with a woven bag and said, "I'll go to the township to bring some food to my son, and you two remember to lock the door when you go out." ”
Before leaving, he gave us the key with a big heart.
"It seems that the village chief has a lot of trust in the two of us." I say.
Huang Shanjun put away the key and said, "Go out and have a look?" ”
I nodded, followed Huang Shanjun around the village, and walked to the place where I saw the high-walled compound last night, and I said to Huang Shanjun: "I saw that courtyard here last night. ”
But now I look at it, there is a cowshed in front of it, and the feces have not been cleaned, and the smell is very bad.
He tilted his head and said, "Someone is following us." ”
I froze, "Are you sure?" ”
We are outsiders, and walking in the village will indeed make the villagers curious, and some people have accosted us along the way, asking us what we are here for, if normal villagers will not follow us.
Huang Shanjun said affirmatively: "I'm sure." ”
I turned and walked back, but I didn't see anyone else.
After walking for a few minutes, I saw a little boy coming out of the courtyard on the right side of the road, looking at the little boy's face, I slowly stopped, "Brother Huang, come into this house and have a look." ”
This little boy looks like he is four or five years old, which is normal in the eyes of ordinary people, but in my eyes he is very problematic.
Because there are two vital qi on his face, one of which is weak, and it stops under him.
And this kid's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to the man who hit me yesterday.
Huang Shanjun is used to going out, and he is very good at communicating with people, and a few ambiguous words dispelled the family's defense and let us into the house.
There was a wedding photo on the south wall of the house, and the man on it was the same one I met yesterday.
"You're here to investigate my husband's disappearance?" The woman in the photo asked us about it, and she said her name was Hongyan.
Her skull and chin were thick and unclothed, and it could be seen that she was rude and hot-tempered, but her lips were level, her head was full, and her eyes were bright and clear, and she was generally kind-hearted in a person with such a countenance.
So although Hongyan has a bad temper, she is kind-hearted and will not do anything evil.
Huang Shanjun nodded and said, "My colleagues came a few days ago, and then they suddenly had no news, so we rushed over. ”
I asked Hongyan: "I heard from the village chief that your husband quarreled with you and went out in the middle of the night and never came back?" ”
This is my guess, when I saw the man yesterday, his face was full of unhappiness, obviously he had just finished arguing with someone, and although there were wedding photos on the wall, there was nothing for men in the house.
She immediately red-eyed and said, "Yes, it's my husband, we both have a bad temper, that time the quarrel was a bit fierce, and we were about to fight, and in the end he didn't want to do anything with me, so he said to go out and calm down, I thought that he was going back to my parents-in-law's yard, who knew that he disappeared for no reason." ”
I looked at Huang Shanjun, and then I asked, "I heard that there are other people in our village who are missing?" ”
"Yes, my husband was the first, and five or six people after him also went out at night, and no one was found the next day." Hongyan said.
"Did anything happen in our village before your husband disappeared?" I asked, "For example, what did you dig out of the ground, or did you hear the sound of force?" ”
I suspect that the multi-story box has been moved.
According to the experience of the first two times, as long as there is such a place where normal people and ghosts can't enter, then there must be Buddha seals, runes and boxes with several layers, Buddha seals and Taoist runes are engraved on the ground or on the wall, which is not easy to have accidents, and it is estimated that no one is interested in that, but the box is the most attractive.
Though the outside was of stone, the inside was gold and silver.
Hongyan thought for a long time, then suddenly raised her eyes to look at me and said, "When you say that, I really remember that there have been thieves in the village." “
"What kind of thief?" I asked,
She said: "There is an ancient tomb on the southwest slope of our village, although it was dug up three years ago, but in fact it was discovered six years ago, and the scholars who came over at that time had already said to the above that the tomb could be dug, but I don't know why it was delayed. ”
When I heard the word cowshed, I immediately cheered up.
"The man ran to the cowshed and made a move with the villagers, and in the confusion he didn't know who kicked him, he crashed directly into the stone trough where the cattle were fed and died." Hongyan said.
This is blood.
After saying this, Hongyan thought for a long time, "Apart from this, no other major events have happened in our village. ”
Huang Shanjun and I chatted with Hongyan again, and left without asking for any more useful information.
When I went out, I saw the little boy again, he was still squatting in the doorway and playing, and I looked at his face again, but I finally didn't say anything.
That weak life is the child's own, and the life in his life palace is someone else's, this child has a short life, and now someone is using his own life to renew his life.
However, he didn't have any yin qi on his body, and he didn't use evil arts, so in this case, I had no position to care.
I walked around the village with Huang Shanjun, frowning all the time, and when I returned to the village chief's house, he said, "That man has been following us." ”
I thought for a moment and said, "If we go to the cowshed in the afternoon, whoever follows us must have something to do with it, and if we go there, even if we can't find anything, we can force those people out." ”
He agreed, so the two of us sniffed cow dung in the cowshed for more than an hour in the afternoon, pretending to discuss from time to time.
The reason why I pretended to discuss it was because I really didn't find anything in the cowshed during the day.
Finally, for the sake of realism, I also took out the compass and walked to the gate of the high-walled compound with the memory of last night, but during the day it was an open space in front of the cowshed, and I stood in the open space for a long time before I went back.
After returning to the village chief's house, Huang Shanjun was a little disappointed: "They didn't come out. ”
"Don't worry, wait until the night." I say.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but when it was about to get dark, the village chief called us and said that he slept at his son's house tonight and would not come back.
I raised my eyebrows at Huang Shanjun and said, "It's up to you tonight." ”
He pulled out a dagger from his bag and gave it to me, "You take it for self-defense." ”
I thanked him.
At nine o'clock, I turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.
"Don't fall asleep." Su Yueze was finally willing to speak up.
I rolled my eyes, "I'm not stupid. ”
He didn't get angry, but smiled, and asked me later: "Yuan Congcong, what do you like about Yu Hao?" ”
I thought seriously for a while, and said, "He looks at it all over his body, from the inside out. ”
Su Yueze's voice was low, as if he just said casually: "What if he betrays you in the future, or even wants to kill you?" ”
I was stunned and nervously asked, "What do you know?" ”
He laughed, "What can I know?" Just ask. ”
I thought to myself, can you hope that I will be better?
But when I thought that he didn't want to help me, I couldn't bear to choke with him like before, so I said seriously: "My current life is what he exchanged for his life, if he really wants to take it one day, I will give it to him." ”
Hearing this, he said angrily: "You dare? Now your life is mine. ”
I smiled and said, "Okay, don't dare." ”
As soon as I finished saying this, the mobile phone on the bedside vibrated for a moment, and I quickly put away my smile and took the dagger in my hand.
This is the signal I agreed with Huang Shanjun, and if there is a situation, it will shock me.
"Don't run!" There was a cold cry from Huang Shanjun in the courtyard, I hurriedly got off the ground, and as soon as I walked to the door, my heart suddenly froze, and I subconsciously bent sideways and kicked forward at the same time.
There was a bang, there was nothing in front of me, but I kicked someone.
Reacting, I hurriedly took out a Yin Eye Opening Talisman from my pocket, and after opening the Yin Eye, I saw a man squatting in the corner of the room, his eyes were like wolves, staring at me fiercely.
And I've seen this man, he's the man I saw outside the high-walled compound yesterday.
Xu realized that I could see him, and he straightened up, came out of the shadows, and rushed towards me with great speed.
I held the dagger in one hand, and pinched the rune paper in the other hand to meet it directly, and at this moment I understood the benefits of sealing the soul, and I could use all the things that Su Yue Ze would know, and I was extremely proficient, as if I had accumulated it bit by bit.
Although the man has great strength, he is an ordinary person in the end, unlike Su Yueze, who has learned kung fu seriously, and I found a gap in a few clicks, and a piece of talisman paper slapped on his shoulder.
I used a soothing charm, and when Zhang Heng used it before, he could fix the ghost, but this time I slapped it, I only heard his right shoulder click, his right hand hanging down on his waist, unable to lift it, and the whole person's movements were not affected at all.
After finding that he couldn't beat me, he went out through the door, I hurriedly chased out, but collided with a man, I was defenseless, I was directly knocked to the ground, before I could react, my arm was pulled up, and then a knife against my neck.
I watched as the man ran out of the yard.
I wanted to chase it, but I scolded in my ear, "Don't move!" ”
Despite the man's best efforts, I could hear his voice trembling.
Huang Shanjun stood ten paces away from me, his forehead fluttering.
The knife was right against my neck, and I could even feel the slight pain of the blade cutting through my skin due to the shaking of his hand.
I had an idea, drew a spirit talisman in the palm of my hand, and silently recited the charm.
After reciting the spell three times, my captor let out a heart-rending wail, and I snatched the knife from his hand and kicked him to the ground.
He didn't care about running, he held his head and howled.
I snorted twice, snuffed out the spirit charm, took out a stick of incense from my bag, lit it and stuck it in the open space, and said, "Thank you." ”
After saying that, a phantom ran over, desperately smoking the cigarette.
Huang Shanjun stepped forward and tied up the man and threw him into his house.
After the man recovered, no matter how much we pressed him, he didn't open his mouth, and finally Huang Shanjun stuffed a cloth in his mouth and kicked me out of the house.
I leaned against the door and listened to the clicking sound in the room, and the man's whimper in pain, and felt my joints hurt.
After half an hour, Huang Shanjun opened the door and said, "Come in and listen to him." “
I hurriedly followed, the man was slumped on the ground, his face was pale, his clothes were already wet with sweat, I tried to touch his arm, and he let out a pig-killing howl.
"Shut up." Huang Shanjun said coldly.
The man immediately shut up.
"Say, why did you come to kill us?" Huang Shanjun asked.
The man was a little hesitant, but when he saw Huang Shanjun's glare, he immediately said, "I'm afraid that you will snatch the treasure in the family temple." ”
My eyelids jumped, "Can you go into the family temple?" ”
He nodded at first, then shook his head in a flash, and said, "Yes, I can go in, but after entering, I can't get out. ”
It dawned on me that the missing people in the village had all entered the temple of their own free will.
"Are those people who went in have Hongyan's husband?" I asked with a frown.
"Yes." He replied.
I confirmed to him, "You've never seen him come out either?" “
He said: "No, no one can come out, so even if we know that there are treasures inside, we don't dare to go in, for fear that we won't be able to get out." ”
"The two Taoist priests who came over some time ago were killed by you?" I asked.
He hurriedly explained: "No, I am alive, in the cellar of my house, and I do not commit murder and illegal acts." ”
I sneered a few times and tricked people into the family temple, isn't it murder in disguise?
But what he said also reminded me, he said that the person who went in couldn't come out again, which means that he hadn't seen Hongyan's husband again, and Hongyan's husband came to kill me just now, and he didn't live with him.
Thinking about it this way, there is still a force in the family temple.
I asked him how he had found the temple, and he replied, "There was a grave robber who died in the cowshed, and I was right next to him, and when he hit the cowshed, the blood splashed right in my eyes, and I found myself sitting in front of a big room with a boxy stone and a gold box on it." ”
He seemed to be afraid that we wouldn't believe it, so he hurriedly said: "Later, I saw it several times, and Hongyan's husband also saw it, and the two of us originally wanted to go in together, but who knew that the house disappeared after he entered, and he didn't come out again, and then I found someone to test it several times, as long as I went in, I couldn't get out, and I didn't dare to go in." ”
I was shocked when I heard it, and he said that the golden box was outside!
Could it be that before he saw the family temple, someone went in and took the contents away?
