After hearing this, Huang Mao squatted on the ground to look carefully, trying to find some clues of footprints, but shook his head and said, "There are too many footprints and too messy, and they have no value." ”

"Then go to the peach grove tonight and squat on it to see if it's a human or a ghost." Cao Nan slapped his fist and gritted his teeth.

We nodded, this is the only way to do it for now, and it has to be done this way.

……

In the evening, I, Huang Mao, and Hu Lai lurked in the peach grove early, while Cao Nan and Feng Daniu stayed in the polder to fight the watch, ready to support at any time.

Since something happened, then I can't stop fighting, Feng Daniu took my place, he is also a descendant of the tomb guard, and it is no problem to replace me.

Time passes little by little, and one more ...... Two watches, there has been no abnormality around the lock dragon well.

We'll be patient, for there's no evidence that the man or thing that broke the chain will show up tonight.

The hours passed one after another, until the sky was white, and the rooster Si Chen did not move.

Obviously, the other party has no intention of doing it tonight.

Not only that, but it continued for three days after that; This can boil us to death, and we stay up for three nights with our eyes open, and we don't gain anything at all. The worst thing is that we don't dare to relax, the stakes are so high, we have no other choice but to continue to defend it.

Day 5.

We lurked down early, intending to take turns resting and keeping watch for two hours.

I'll keep it first, and Hu Lai and Huang Mao will sleep first.

As the night deepened, the time gradually pointed to the second watch, and the hazy waning moon occasionally sprinkled a little silver light through the clouds, making the peach grove appear quiet and deep.

Gradually, I felt that the atmosphere of the forest had changed, it had become eerie, and the gentle night breeze had been heard.

There is no need for me to greet at all, Hu Lai and Huang Mao opened their eyes at the same time, it was still early at this time, and the two of them were sleeping lightly.

"Rustle...... Smack! ”

Faintly, I heard footsteps, very faintly, and I couldn't hear them at all if I didn't listen carefully, and the sound of dead branches being trampled on.

Listening to the argument, I hurriedly looked at a thatched place on the opposite side.

Something is coming!

It stayed for a while before moving again, looking like a human being, walking like a ghost, barely audible with light hands and feet, and moving a little stiffly, without much popularity, not like a living person.

It walked to the well, crouched down, and began to spark in its hand, igniting something.

The moment the flame lit up, a familiar and pale face was printed, and I was taken aback.

Ge Laosan!

It was the missing Ge Laosan, and during the flood, a strange beast similar to a turtle appeared in the river, covered in scales, with golden horns on its head, and a blood-red coffin tied with an iron chain on its back.

Ge Laosan mistakenly thought that the horns on the head of the strange beast were gold, jumped into the river, cut off the golden horns, and ran into the mountain, never seeing him again.

We have always deduced that Ge Laosan was possessed, but we didn't expect him to appear again.

Looking at it now, the speculation has come true, Ge Laosan at this time is not a little angry, like a walking corpse, his eyes are dull, and there are two red flashes in the depths of his pupils, which looks numb.

The golden horn is ominous, it is not gold at all, but something on the body of a strange beast, full of ferocity, whoever touches it will die.

But Ge Laosan is poor and crazy, desperate, this is the end. In this way, he is the second person to be clearly killed after Feng Deliang.

At this moment, what he ignited was the golden horn of the alien beast that he had taken away.

The golden horn burned out a red-black flame, which looked very demonic, and it was scorching the dragon chain, and the dragon chain made a gentle buzz, as if it was resisting weakly.

I had never seen such a strange flame, so I made a lip sync to Hu Lai next to me and asked him what it was.

Hu Lai stretched out his hand and wrote two words on the ground: "Karmic fire!" ”

I don't seem to understand, I feel that this should be something that Buddhism often talks about, but I didn't expect it to be manifested.

The dragon chain must have been blessed with a lot of mana, otherwise it would not have existed for such a long time without decay and immortality, ordinary mortal fire would be absolutely ineffective against it, and it would be impossible for swords and guns to have an effect.

But all things are mutually reinforcing, and there must be something that can restrain and disintegrate it, and at present, it is this karmic fire.

At this time, Huang Mao patted me lightly and made a lip gesture to me: hands.

Without further ado, I immediately activated the Nine Star Wheel, and the power of Yuan Yang was injected in large quantities, and the Nine Star Wheel rotated rapidly, and the divine stone beads of the two systems of Yang and Fire gradually fused together.

"Roar!"

In the next moment, a stout fire python as thick as a small tree and one foot long roared, opened its mouth and bit Ge Laosan fiercely.

Since it is a sneak attack, and there is only one target, then kill with one blow and leave no room for the other party to resist.

The karmic fire is the resentful breath of time, and the golden horn is obviously focused on such a "fuel", which is not so easy to find

As long as you kill Ge Laosan and take away the golden horn, no matter how much power Ge Laosan has behind him, he has to rest for a while.

The fire python came in an instant, and immediately drowned Ge Laosan.

He flew out directly, turned into a ball of fire, and something black jumped out of his body, trying to escape, but was caught in the fire, and was immediately ignited into a fire, and was burned into nothingness in mid-air, only to let out a miserable scream.

We rushed over, Ge Laosan was torn apart, but there was not a trace of blood in the gap, obviously he had been dead for a long time, and there was even a faint smell of rancidity.

Huang Mao squatted down and used two branches to clip the still burning golden horn out of Ge Laosan's hand.

I took a look, and this thing had been burned in half, and it must have been used when the dragon chain of the Feng family's ancestral tomb was burned.

The karmic fire is black and red, which is extremely demonic, if it is not for that little bit of red, it will not be visible in the dark.

"What exactly is this karmic fire?" I hurriedly asked; At first glance, I think it's something from Buddhism.

"Karma is a kind of thing that burns all the karma in the world, and everyone has it in more or less, and it is related to cause and effect; It is said that only those who have attained the attainment of the Buddha can see it. Hu Lai explained, and said: "This golden horn can burn karmic fire, which is obviously not ordinary, which shows that the strange beast and the blood coffin are contaminated with a lot of karma, otherwise it is impossible to make the karmic fire manifest." ”

"The use of the existence of Golden Horn and Ge Laosan is also very unusual, it is estimated that it is a ghost clan, and the evil ghost who was burned to death just now is just a small role." Huang Mao Road.

I nodded, an ordinary little character, nothing to burn chains to play, there must be a strong force behind it.

"Just let it burn out, this thing is a scourge after all, the karma is too strong, the cause and effect are too heavy, the big murderer, whoever touches it is unlucky." Huang Mao said, after speaking, he put the golden horn on a stone and let it burn.

I thought for a moment and said, "If the ghost clan did it, then I'm afraid they won't give up, if they don't succeed once, they will come a second time, what should we do, we can't keep guarding like this, right?" ”

"This question is not difficult, in this way, I will let the silver-eyed mandrill keep an eye on here, once I find anything abnormal, I will send a letter immediately, and then I will ask your third uncle to activate the thunderstorm array, and everything will be destroyed!" Huang Mao made a decision.

I nodded slowly, this is possible, the silver-eyed mandrill has been staring at the movement on the golden basin recently, since the focus has shifted, it is time to pull back to monitor the peach grove.

It's just that what makes me faintly uneasy in my heart is that the thunderstorm magic circle mastered by the third uncle has now become the last and most important line of defense in Jinpen Township.

The more focus of attention, the greater the risk of the third uncle being exposed, the ghost clan cannot destroy the thunderstorm array, but the person who controls the thunderstorm array becomes a breakthrough.

If the third uncle shows anything, it will be dangerous.

It's just that now we have no other way but to take one step at a time.

After that, Hu Lai checked the burned dragon chain, only to see that the color of the chain at the burned position became a little white, and said: "The dragon chain is not a big problem, but it has been damaged, and the karmic fire is a different fire." ”

Huang Mao and I looked at the golden horn, and as we spoke, it had burned to the last minute. Huang Mao blew on it and poured it with soil and water, but the karmic fire was not extinguished at all, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Sure enough, it's not a mortal fire!" ”

"Karmic fire burns karmic karma, strictly speaking, it is not a real flame, and it cannot be extinguished if it is not done properly." Hu Lai said, paused and said in confusion: "The ghost clan has a lot of karma, there shouldn't be any existence among them that can use karmic fire, what's the matter?" ”

"Could it be that it's not the ghost clan that destroys, but people?" Huang Mao asked.

"Human-ghost collusion?" I add.

Hu Lai frowned deeply, and said, "But if it's not a ghost clan, where would it be sacred?" ”

We were all silent, for the problem was doomed to be unsolvable, and we talked for a while, and when the golden horn was completely burned, we returned to our original position.

In order to prevent the existence of the burning bundle rope from striking again, it is necessary to keep it until dawn.

……

When I got back, I immediately hung a red dress upstairs.

This is the code that I agreed with the third uncle, a specific color designates a specific number, and we contact at night to prevent being spied on.

Previously, I got six or seven obsolete second-hand mobile phones for my third uncle, and I also gave six or seven numbers that had never been activated. Contact a mobile phone and a phone card at a time, never repeat.

The safety of the third uncle is now the top priority, and there must be no room for failure. Otherwise, the entire Jinpen Township, including itself, will face the danger of overturning, and we must be cautious.

At noon, I dialed the new number with my new mobile phone, and the third uncle was really ready and the phone went through.

I told me about the dragon chain, and the third uncle should go down, saying that he would be working in the township during this time, and he was ready to activate the magic circle at any time.

After a pause, he said: "Xiao Lei, it's time to tell you something about the magic circle, this magic circle is not activated unlimitedly, and every time it is activated, you must be cautious." The magic circle relies on absorbing the power of thunderstorms in the sky, and if it is not replenished later, the large-scale activation of the magic circle can only last once, and the small scale three times. ”

I was taken aback, I really didn't expect this, so I asked, "So that means that after three small-scale thunderstorms, you have to wait until there is thunder in the sky before the magic circle can regain momentum?" ”

"Yes, that's what it means, it's the rainy season, and there is a lot of rain but no thunder, so you have to save a little money, and only in the summer can you be more generous and give full play to its maximum power." The third uncle said.

My heart sank, only three times!

It would be dangerous if the existence of the broken chain knew about it; It only needs to send three cannon fodder to crack.

There is no thunderstorm town in Jinpen Township, which is too dangerous.

It seems that Huang Mao's strategy will not work, and we have to go to the vigil, and then activate the thunderstorm circle when it really can't work.

Three times is no longer enough insurance, and when you can't use it, you can't start it, and it's a lot of fun.

After that, I talked to the third uncle for a while, and I didn't know how to use the thunderstorm magic circle as a last resort.

Hanging up the phone, I destroyed the phone along with the card, and then went to Huang Maohu to tell me about the situation of the thunderstorm circle.

"Only three left?!" Huang Mao was a little surprised, and said, "If this is the case, in the face of the large-scale attack of the ghost clan, Jinpen Township will not be able to resist it at all." ”

"I guess the ghost clan shouldn't know about this, otherwise they wouldn't have waited until now." Hu to analyze.

I sighed, I don't know if I know, I was shocked when I knew, the situation in Jinpen Township was not optimistic.

Gradually, I found that as I grew up, I couldn't just think about myself, the Meng family was a family of mausoleum keepers, and it was the leader of the generations, and it was the responsibility to ensure the safety of one party, if my grandfather was still there, I think he would also want to do it.

The burden on my body gradually became much heavier and much heavier than before.

This may be the so-called, with great power comes great responsibility.
