Chapter 64: Epilogue
The story of twenty years ago was not complicated, or the story that Xia Yi wanted them to know was not complicated. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Four young men mistakenly broke into the Ancient Altar and broke the seal of the two realms there.
Many years ago, the passage between the two realms that had been sealed by the Witch King with his life was opened again, and it also affected the Witch King, who was dead but did not stay at the intersection of the two realms, and could only be reincarnated as a human.
When the seal was opened, a storm swept through the nearby village that existed to protect the seal, taking the lives of everyone in the village in just a few minutes.
Only the evil spirits that roamed the village at that time were not only not affected, but benefited a lot.
Three of the four young men who opened the seal at the beginning were killed by the storm on the spot. The only one left was also rendered inhuman by the breath of the other side, and after wandering the altar for twenty years, he finally died at the hands of the blood clotter.
As for the evil ghosts wandering in the village at that time, it was also very pitiful to talk about their background.
She is just an ordinary girl who does not want to live in an isolated mountain village and yearns for the outside world, so she is influenced by the merchants who often come to the village to receive goods. After going back and forth, she actually got along with the businessman who had a family, and was pregnant with a two-month-old child.
When her family found out about this, they beat her in a rage, but they didn't expect her to be too weak, so they turned their backs on her.
The girl's father still refused to lose his temper, and his mind did not turn around, and directly announced to the public that she had a sudden illness and died, and hurriedly stuffed her into the coffin and sent her to the Ghost King Temple in the village.
In fact, she was not dead when she entered the coffin, and she woke up after being carried around a few times on the road...... As a result, he was suffocated to death in the coffin.
Coupled with the unique funeral customs in this small village, she was not at peace after her death, and she tossed in the village for many days.
The people of the sacrificial village live in such a "feng shui treasure land" all the year round, but they are quite experienced in this kind of thing, and they only hide for a few days, and their own tomb keepers and ghost kings come out to clean up the mess.
Unexpectedly, at that time, the so-called "Ghost King" had already left to be reborn, and the tomb keeper was also too busy with the opening of the seal of the two realms, so he didn't have time to pay attention to this group of people at all.
So it became the current situation.
Xia Yi's so-called you are very annoying, hurry up and get out of the way is probably his true words.
The man scribbled the story through the whole process, looking perfunctory and impatient throughout the whole process, and then raised his hand to drive the person away.
It was really "raising a hand" to drive people away.
Xia Beifeng only remembered that he saw the other party roll his eyes and raise his hand, and when he came back to his senses again, he was already standing on the wide mountain road.
"So, the one who pulled me in the graveyard at first...... The guy who was gnawed to the bones by the blood clotting worm was the student who opened the seal in the first place? ”
Xia Beifeng frowned suspiciously: "How did he survive in the cave for so many years, and what did he eat?" What to drink? ”
"He doesn't need to eat, he can't be considered human when the seal is opened."
Ye Baiyu sighed, and his tone was very regretful: "It's just a ...... It's not a human, it's not a ghost, it's just a monster barely alive. ”
This conversation took place on the plane that took them home.
The white airplane spread its wings across the night sky, and the stars kept twinkling in the dark blue night, because it was high in the sky, there was nothing to obstruct it, but it was very clear.
The mountain, and the small village where I don't know how many souls were buried, had long since disappeared from their sight.
There weren't too many people on late-night flights, and the seats weren't full.
Xia Beifeng and Ye Baiyu sat side by side, and the position against the aisle was empty.
On the other side of the aisle was Ning Feng's group, and the three of them occupied two rows of seats, squeezing Xu Tianyang into a window seat to prevent him from making any trouble.
Behind Xia Beifeng, there were Qu Yue, Zhao Xinning, and ...... sitting in a row of seats Xu Tianle.
Xu Tianle's fact that he survived is actually very miraculous.
After the death of the Snake King, the bright red pattern on his hand immediately dissipated into the air, and at the same time, Xu Tianle, who was sitting on the throne like a dry corpse, began to slowly return to his original state.
The simple water is the living corpse of the little girl who has been dried into a mummy.
"This little girl should have been reincarnated at the same time as the Witch King, so the Witch God Throne is willing to let her touch it. The group probably knew this reason, so they used what she found as a substitute. ”
Xia Yi said.
The three girls were making a pile and were sleeping soundly. A blanket was draped horizontally over the three of them, and under the dim lights of the plane, it brought a warm atmosphere.
"I always felt that the grave keeper had a lot to say...... No, he didn't really want to tell us anything. ”
Xia Beifeng looked at Ye Baiyu curiously and asked him, "Aren't you very familiar with him?" Why do you think he's cold to you? ”
"I don't know him well, but I know his master quite well. He's just like that, and he doesn't like anyone all the time. ”
Ye Baiyu sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "You're right, that guy really didn't tell us anything." But it doesn't matter, after all, we still have a personal ID in our hands, and we can ask him slowly when we go back. ”
Ye Baiyu turned his head as he spoke, and smiled meaningfully at Xu Tianyang.
Xu Tianyang was looking out the window in a daze, and when he saw Ye Baiyu's weird smile in the reflection of the glass, he shivered for no reason, and a little ominous premonition arose in his heart.
"If I were him, I would have confessed everything as soon as I got off the plane, and maybe there would be a chance to return home alive."
Xia Beifeng looked at Xu Tianyang sympathetically, looking distressed, but the corners of his mouth were a little smiling.
"To be honest, I was quite surprised. You came back in such a daze, thinking that with your character, you must get to the bottom of things before leaving. ”
"I can't help it!"
Ye Baiyu spread his hands and howled exaggeratedly: "Who told us that we can't beat him!" ”
Xia Beifeng: "......"
"And when I first went over there, it was just to clean up this group of people who wanted to make trouble, and it was just a matter of stopping by to look for Tianshu. I didn't expect something to happen, and I almost capsized in the gutter, so I can only ask you to come and save me. Luckily, it didn't end up much worse, so I didn't have to know too much. ”
Ye Baiyu stretched his waist, yawned and said: "The damned are all dead, the ones who should be alive are alive, it doesn't matter to us who is behind the trouble, Xia Yi will solve it himself." ”
Xia Beifeng looked at him silently for a while, and then looked down at his watch.
It was past one o'clock in the morning.
"I'll sleep first, and call me when I'm home."
"Okay."
Ye Baiyu agreed dispensably, turned his head to look at the clouds flying outside the window, and fell into deep thought.
White planes whizz through the clouds in the night sky, carrying the sleeping people in the cabin to their destination.
******************************************
In front of the Throne of the Witch God.
The empty hall was filled with bits and pieces of bones and black cloth, and the sound of "ding-dong-dong" running water echoed faintly.
After the uninvited guests left, the place finally returned to its original tranquility.
An old lady with a gray beard appeared silently on the steps. She stood in front of the throne of the witch god, staring intently at the pattern on the back of her chair, a look of yearning in her eyes.
The old lady held a thick~long crutch in her hand, a lively fish carved on the crimson wood, and a white tassel hung on the crutch, swaying gently with her trembling movements.
"It's a failure, it's a bunch of rubbish."
She snorted coldly, stretched out her crutches and lit it on the ground, and shouted with full anger: "Get out of here, I know you're not dead yet!" Don't let me do it myself! ”
Her old voice echoed through the wide hall, crashing against the surrounding stone walls with a "buzzing" sound.
A moment later.
There was a "rustling" sound from beneath the throne of the witch god, and a small snake head poked its head out from between the throne and the ground.
"There is still a face alive!"
The old lady laughed sarcastically, stretched out her crutches, and pointed the tip of the crutches at the seven-inch position of the little snake, revealing a mouthful of neat teeth.
"I should have stewed you in the first place. I can't do anything well, and I still bring that group of scourges over. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I might have been cleaned up by him in the well! ”
The little green snake raised its head, shook its head at the old lady flatteringly, and spat out the bright red letter.
"You don't believe it?"
The old lady looked at the little snake in surprise, and with force in her hand, she crushed the little snake with her crutches: "You have also fought with Shen Qingge, if it weren't for the help of the 'Witch God Seal', how many moves do you think you can survive under her?" As for the young man you said who looked like he was useless, hehe, don't forget who cleaned you up in the end. He has been mixed under Ye Baiyu for so many years, and if he learns a little bit of the things in the Book of Heaven, it is enough for me to drink a pot......"
The little snake writhed a few times in pain~ body, simply bent over the tip of the crutches and twisted into a ball, and crawled up along the crutches.
"Look at the way you look, you look like a woman in a kiln. If I hadn't run out of men now, I'd have thrown you down there. ”
The old lady looked at the snake body wrapped around the cane in disgust, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "But it doesn't matter, we still have a chance, next month...... Wait until next month......"
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the snake on the cane suddenly stand up with scales all over its body, spitting out a letter and making a threatening sound in a certain direction.
This action caused her to be nervous as well.
"What's wrong with you, what a fuss about!"
She looked around, and after realizing that there was nothing, she shouted angrily at the little snake: "Don't be surprised, I thought it was Xia ......"
"What do you think it is?"
A young, beautiful male voice came from above the throne of the witch god.
The old lady looked up.
There was a man lying on the throne of the witch god, which had just been empty.
That's right, lying down.
The man was wearing a homely pajamas, barefoot and no shoes. The buttons of the linen shirt reached to his chest, and he looked like he had just woken up. His back rested on the armrest on one side of the throne, and his legs were on the armrest on the other, swinging leisurely. One hand was half-hung on the ground, and his fingertips were holding half a burning cigarette. There was a "no shape" aura all over his body, and he looked at her with a smile.
"Did you think Xia Yi was back? It's a pity that I disappointed you, it wasn't him. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and nodded sincerely to the old lady: "But since you want to see him so much, then I have no choice but to satisfy you." ”
"You ......"
The old lady spit out half a word, suddenly thought of something, hurriedly put down her crutches, knelt on one knee, lowered her head and said respectfully: "You...... Why did you suddenly come back? ”
"I've always been free, but there are so many fun things that I don't bother to talk to you."
The man took a puff of his cigarette, sighed, and looked up at Xia Yi who was standing beside him: "Help me deal with it." ”
"Yes."
Xia Yi nodded, put the mountain and river lamp in his hand in the man's empty hand, and came to the old lady.
"You! You can't ......."
The old lady looked at the young man on the throne and stammered, "I'm ...... But...... If you kill me, the mountain will be ...... This is your home! ”
"There will be someone else's."
The man lying on the throne yawned and said lazily: "It may be decades, or it may be hundreds of years, in short, someone will replace you." You don't have to worry too much about this, after all, you are so old, you should retire and enjoy the blessings. Anyway, there aren't many people living here, and it won't affect them much if you're gone. ”
The old lady looked at him in disbelief and opened her mouth, but said nothing.
"Also, this is no longer my home. Not to mention that I have lived here for a while, it can only be regarded as a house that I have lived in. You see, now that this place has been made into this smoky miasma, why should I make this place my home? ”
The old lady knelt on the ground, bowed her head deeply, and put on a sad look.
The little snake wrapped around the cane twisted itself and hid under the shadow of her body.
"Please spare me......"
The old lady's voice trembled and pleaded, but her eyes were always fixed on the little snake that only she could see, and she kept exchanging glances with it.
A bright red mark on the top of the little snake's head forms a strong contrast with the emerald green color on its body, and it looks very conspicuous.
When it shook its head, the red mark shook into a patch, and it was a little dazzling to see.
Xia Yi slowly stretched out a hand at the old lady.
The serpent stared at the man's ankle on the throne, arched his body, and opened his mouth.
A loud eagle chirp came from above. Just as the little snake sprang out of the shadow and rushed towards its ankle, which had been staring at it for a long time, a snow-white bird fell from the sky and accurately captured the little snake that was flying in mid-air.
Xia Yi turned his head and glanced at the white bird above his head in surprise.
"I just thought that it would be more convenient for her to do this, so I don't need to trouble you. After all, eagles are here to catch these things! ”
The man on the throne said slowly, "Don't worry, this is the 'Book of Fortunes' that I wrote!" Ruler of the disobedient. ”
Xia Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally took two steps back and stood side by side with the throne.
"Okay."
He nodded at the people around him and looked up at the white birds in the sky.
When the white bird swooped down again, the old lady was already kneeling on the ground, and seemed to be unable to say anything other than "spare her life."
However, it didn't work, and when Shiratori landed on top of her head and grabbed her gray hair and lifted her upward, she was still captured by Shiratori without the slightest ability to resist.
"Look, it's much more professional than you."
The young man smiled proudly and said to Xia Yi beside him, "Ye Baiyu borrowed half of my book of recitation and took it for reference. As a result, after so many years, he can still be plotted by the puppet incense, and I don't know if they have lived to dogs at such an old age! ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his arm towards the sky and watched the white bird fall from the sky.
"I dare to say that I didn't choose the name of the book of fortunes, and I have to change the name of my little ~ beauty! Change it, just change it, can't you change it to something that sounds better? It's actually called a sparrow, such a beautiful little girl is actually called a sparrow! What it looks like! ”
The sparrow landed on his arm and nodded approvingly.
She had a white fish in her paws, and was flicking her tail with her mouth wide open, making her final death throes.
"But he's right."
The man sighed, stroked his long hair, and said rather melancholy: "The three words of this book of life are really life-giving things." I've only been writing it for less than a year, and I'm really dying, and I don't seem to be in a position to refute him if I think so. ”
This person chattered a lot to the sparrow at hand and Xia Yi beside him, such as "eat fish steamed or braised at night", "I want to order more chili peppers, but I'm afraid of getting hot", "Why don't you cook hot pot" and so on.
The sparrow got tired of hearing this, so he buried his head under his wings, hung it on the man's arm, and snoozed.
Xia Yi listened carefully until the man stopped chattering, and then asked tentatively: "Otherwise, you call back and ask?" ”
"They're still on the plane, and if they want to fight, they should wait until they get off the plane."
The man looked at the jewel above his head, lay quietly on the throne for a while, and suddenly straightened up. He looked at Xia Yi, with the firelight reflected in his eyes, and actually put on a posture of "a true scripture".
"Xue Qing was let go?"
Xia Yi lowered his head, did not make a sound, and acquiesced in this matter.
"You're amazing, you caught the small one and ran the big one, that woman is not a good stubble, so she doesn't know how many things she can toss outside!"
"I'm sorry."
Xia Yi whispered: "I know you ......"
"It's not like that, I'm just troublesome."
The man looked at Xia Yi sincerely and sighed: "I'm serious, I'm not angry with you." She ran away, and I just happened to go back and clean her up myself. ”
After the man said this, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently, lay down again, and reached out and felt a stone from his pajama pants pocket.
The stone looked unremarkable, but it exuded a refreshing coolness, and the surface was covered with a layer of water vapor, reflecting a dim light under the light of the mountain and river lamps.
"It's going to rain, it just so happens that Shen Qingge is also leaving."
The man sighed, snuffed out the cigarette butt, and covered the stone with both hands.
"Let's make it rain, it's okay to rush down all these things."
******************************************
The clear night sky was silently covered with gray clouds.
Soon the downpour fell.
The "people" in Jijia Village invariably walked into the rain. They looked up at the sky, threw their hands high, knelt on the ground, and fell one by one.
The mangled body quickly decayed, seeping into the muddy soil as the rain soaked.
The relatively intact house was watered by the torrential rain, and it fell into a piece.
When the rain was at its heaviest, even the neat and quaint "Ghost King Temple" collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins.
This uninhabited deserted village, which has survived for more than 20 years, has finally regained its rightful appearance and completely disappeared into the mountains. After being washed away by the torrential rain several times, there is no trace of it.
The entire mountain is shrouded in a blurred shadow. Although the tree is still green, it looks like it has an ominous layer of death from a distance.
