Chapter 329: Night Light
When the three of us were about to walk to the entrance of the village, Liu Shangang pointed to a courtyard closest to the street lamp and said to me: "The people of this family have left the village since Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is said that they went to Hubei. But according to my informant, just the night before, he had seen people coming in and out. ”
I couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get so many informants?" ”
Liu Shangang laughed twice and didn't answer me.
There were several haystacks near the entrance to the east end of the village, and the three of us hid behind them, looking out over the streetlights.
As I walked towards the haystack, I noticed that the snow near the haystack was not as thick as in other places, and there were people who had been hiding here before we came here, and it was those people who had compacted the snow on this side.
Through the gap between the two haystacks, I could clearly see the street lamp.
To tell you the truth, this lamp is very strangely made, there is only this one street lamp in the whole village, and the pole of the street lamp is very high, and when it is lit at night, I guess several nearby villages can see it. What's even more incomprehensible is that it is already one or two o'clock in the morning, and there are no pedestrians on the village road at all, but the street lights are still on, and with its brightness, it is estimated that the surrounding three or four families will not be able to sleep well all night.
I glanced over to Liu Shangang and saw that he had become a "sculpture" again, staring motionlessly at the gaps between the haystacks, but instead of the lamp, he was staring at the village road illuminated by the light.
In fact, Liu Shangang could sense my movements, and when I looked at him for a while, he turned his face to face me and gave me an inquiring look.
I pointed to the head of the pointing lamp, and Liu Shangang immediately understood what I meant, took out a goggle from his backpack and handed it to me.
I put on my goggles, and then I followed Liu Shangang's example, staring at the lamp.
Just now, when I was still more than ten meters away from the street lamp, I vaguely saw that there seemed to be a black gas wrapped around the lamp, but the light was so bright that people couldn't look directly at it, and I couldn't see it really.
It wasn't until I put on my goggles and looked at the light that I realized that what was wrapped around the lamp was not black at all, but a black shadow, which was circling and flying around the lantern, and it looked like a human silhouette, but it had an extremely long tail, which streaked across the night sky and extended to the uninhabited courtyard at the east end of the village.
I couldn't feel the yin qi from this shadow, but I could feel a strong chill.
Wang Dapeng is right, when standing under the street lamp, you will feel that the temperature near the street lamp is much lower than in other places.
"Someone is coming out!" Liu Shangang suddenly poked me with his elbow and said to me in a very small voice.
Then he beckoned Rotai and me to step back, until the three of us leaned down to watch, barely in the shadows of the streetlights.
After a while, I saw a figure come out of the courtyard wall at the east end of the village, so far away that I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, but I saw him rush to the bottom of the haystack at great speed, and light something that resembled a lantern, and when the red light came from the lantern, I saw that the black shadow on the lamp became more intense.
And this time, I could clearly feel the yin qi wafting from the lamp head.
Although I didn't know exactly what the other party was doing, I generally knew that he was pouring yin energy into the black shadow on the lamphead.
There is a technique called "Yin Injection Technique" in the secret book that Master gave me, which is specially used to control ghosts, and before performing this technique, you need to drain the yin qi on the ghost thing, and then find a fire man whose life is compatible with the ghost thing, take his essence and blood, and condense it for a year until the yin qi is practiced, and then inject this yin qi into the ghost object, so that this ghost can be used by the caster.
However, it is difficult to succeed in this kind of spell, especially the link of extracting yin qi from the ghost thing, it is easy to make the ghost thing go up in smoke. And since this technique wants to take the essence blood of living people, it is too yin, so I only took a cursory look at it and didn't study it carefully.
How can there be such a yin damage exercise on the cheats of keeping the right line? I can't say anything about this kind of thing, anyway, there is such a technique recorded in that book.
In any case, the spell that the other party is using now should be very similar to the "Yin Injection Technique".
If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be said in the cheats that this technique was not created by our ancestors who kept the right line, it was invented by a Taoist surnamed Huang thousands of years ago, and at that time the Taoist surnamed Huang also created a sect called "Injustice Palace", this kind of technique is one of the housekeeping skills in his sect.
And the ruins of the sect of the Injustice Palace seem to be not far from my hometown.
The man hiding under the haystack waited until the light in the lantern dimmed before getting up and leaving.
As he left, the black shadow hovering over the lamp had already developed a strong yin aura, and it gradually broke away from the street lamp and floated towards the village.
If I'm not mistaken, that black shadow should have gone to Wang Dapeng, fortunately, Liang Houzai just gave Wang Dapeng a new evil talisman, and with such a ghost thing alone, Wang Dapeng can't do anything.
After that, we waited in place for a while, until the black shadow floated back again, and I sent a text message to Wang Dapeng: "Are you okay?" ”
Wang Dapeng quickly replied to me: "That thing just now is here again, save me." ”
Being able to text him back meant he was fine, and I replied briefly: "Don't look for us lately." And then it shut down.
When the three of us returned to the poplar forest, Xian'er and Luo Fei were leaning together to keep warm, while Liang Houzai was holding a branch and squatting on the ground to write and draw.
When I passed by Xian'er, I couldn't help but tease her: "Why are you cold like this, aren't you a fox demon?" ”
Xian'er glanced at me: "Why can't I be afraid of the cold, I have no hair on my body!" ”
She choked on me for a moment, and I suddenly didn't know what to say. Luo Fei stood beside Xian'er and looked at me and smiled.
At this time, Liang Houzai stood up and asked me, "How is it?" What's going on over there? ”
I said, "There are burial cultists lurking in the empty house at the east end of the village, and they have raised a ghost creature using a street lamp as a medium. I think that the matter of Dianzi Village can't drag on like this anymore, Wang Dapeng is now entangled by ghosts every night, even if he has an evil talisman, he can't bear it mentally for a long time. In addition, if it drags on for a long time, I am afraid that the funeral people will do even more excessive things. ”
Liang Houzai asked me, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
I thought about it for a while and said, "Let Liu Shangang find out the layout of the funeral sect in the village first, and then start to do it." Master told me not to use a hard bar, then not to be a hard bar, and to try to separate the people of the burial sect and break them individually. In addition, I think Wang Dahai may have played a very special role in this matter, and his affairs should be investigated as clearly as possible. ”
Liang Houzai touched his chin and nodded: "I think so too." However, the funeral people are very careful, and it is not easy to separate them. ”
I waved my hand at Liang Houzai and said, "Don't think about that for now. Let's find out their details first, and after figuring out their details, let's discuss the specific action plan. ”
Liang Houzai hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
We stayed in the poplar forest until about three o'clock in the morning, during which time there were no major changes in the village of Dianzi.
It seems that at present, the Funeral Sect does not dare to make too much movement.
After that, Liu Shangang took us back to Wang Dapeng's third uncle's house, and after a brief meal, we seized the time to rest for a while, while Liu Shangang went out over the wall again and began to investigate the specific arrangement of the funeral sect in Dianzi Village.
Liu Shangang said that this was the first time he acted alone, and he had no bottom in his heart. In fact, it's not just him, we all sweat for him, but now there is no other way, one more person by his side will make him more exposed.
All we can do now is trust Him wholeheartedly.
In this kind of worry, I spent about a dozen hours leaning on the cold earthen kang, and I fell asleep several times during this period, but each time I couldn't sleep deeply, and every time I woke up in worry.
Until nightfall, there was a slight sound on the side of the courtyard wall, and an emaciated figure fell to the ground, although the light was very dim, I could only see the general outline of the person who came, but even so, I could still recognize that the figure belonged to Liu Shangang.
The heart that had been hanging for a whole day finally fell.
Liu Shangang entered the house with quick movements, approached me and Liang Houzai and said, "It's all figured out, the arrangement of the funeral sect in the village is actually not complicated. ”
I sat up, raised my chin at Liu Shang, and motioned for him to continue.
Xian'er and Luo Fei also came over, as well as Luo Tai, who also moved a chair and sat next to Liu Shangang.
Several pairs of eyes stared at Liu Shangang at the same time, waiting for him to say the following.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he looked a little unhappy: "Damn, I've been out for so long, and you don't ask me if I'm in danger when I come back?" ”
Liang Houzai said: "Aren't you back well now?" Let's get to the point, don't sell it. ”
Liu Shangang sighed and muttered, "I was careless in making friends." And then he began to explain to us in detail the situation in Dianzi Village.
Combined with his investigation and the feedback of several informants, it can now be determined that the number of funeral members hiding in Dianzi Village should be five to eight people, one in the secret outpost in the southeast and southwest of the village, two in the empty house at the east end of the village, and one in Wang Dahai's house, which is five people. If Wang Dahai and the two women who weep in his house every night were also burial people, it would be eight.
Liu Shangang said that among these people, the stout man in Wang Dahai's family, a man and a woman hiding in the east of the village, these three people should have a good way. And the two people hiding in the secret sentry should be mercenaries, who have no Taoism, but have weapons in their hands.
In addition, Liu Shangang also said that the woman who lived in the east of the village was thin and about 25 years old, and it was very likely that she was Dong Cuiping who had appeared in the Mass Grave Mountain.
To be honest, Liu Shangang brought me much more information than I imagined, I thought that during the time he was out, at most he would figure out the number of disciples of the Burial Sect, but I didn't expect to get such specific information.
I asked Liu Shangang: "Has Wang Dahai investigated?" ”
Liu Shangang's club: "After the investigation, I also sent a letter to Lao Bao and asked him to check on Wang Dahai." Now Lao Bao has not replied to me, I don't have much information at hand, only know that Wang Dahai is the only son in the family, he originally had an elder brother, but he disappeared many years ago, in addition, Wang Dahai and their family is actually an outsider, his father came here in the forties, it is said that he changed his surname to Wang in order to avoid the enemy, as for what his original surname was, it is not clear. ”
