Chapter 171: Entering the Village

"Zhiyuan, what else did the master tell you?" I asked deliberately.

"Actually, the master told me a few key points, and he wasn't sure what we would encounter in the village, so he only asked me to warn you before entering the village. There is a well in the center of the village, and it is the eye of the 'water' array, so whenever you go to the well, don't stick your head out and look into it. ”

"What's in the well?" Liu Jin asked immediately.

"There is karma." When answering this, a trace of worry appeared on Zhiyuan's face, this is the first time I have seen him have such a look along the way.

The worry expressed by Zhiyuan made my heart tighten, it seems that this well is indeed a bit powerful. However, I think that as long as the four of us walk together at any time, even if some of us are curious about the well, as long as the others help remind us, nothing will happen.

At this time, a "woo" sound came, we followed the sound and found that the sound came from Su Xi's backpack, and I remembered that we had forgotten such a helper as Xiaobai.

Su Xi also reacted and immediately opened his backpack. took out the bag containing Xiaobai and released Xiaobai. After Xiaobai came out, he curled up into Su Xi's arms.

"Xiaobai, why didn't you make a sound in the forest just now? Do you want to be lazy and don't want to come out to catch ghosts? "I deliberately teased it.

"It's right that the cat spirit didn't come out, along the way, to deal with those ghosts, I have followed the master's instructions and treated them with courtesy, even if it is against the evil things that let you enter the illusion, I just chanted the scriptures to eliminate their anger. He burned incense and asked them to give way, and he never moved the heart to kill. First, we don't have time to entangle with it, and second, if we anger the other ghosts in the forest by dispersing a wandering spirit, and attack us en masse, we are afraid that we will not be able to get out of the forest. Zhiyuan said slowly.

"Are you saying that after this black cat came out, it felt the evil aura in the forest, and it would come forward to bite those ghosts, thus intensifying the conflict between us?" Liu Jin understood what Zhiyuan meant.

"Yes, this cat spirit is really smart." Zhiyuan looked at Xiaobai with a smile and said.

Listening to his explanation, I think this thing is really done with Xiaobai's spirituality, I used to go to the funeral home in the middle of the night. I didn't want Su Liang to know Xiaobai's savings, but Xiaobai really didn't say anything.

I just thought. Maybe Xiaobai has been here with Su Po before, and Su Po has explained to it before entering the forest, so when it comes again, it knows that it can't come out, and has been staying quietly in the bag.

After chatting for a while, I saw that the time was past three o'clock in the morning, and I glanced at the path ahead, only to feel that the fog on the road was heavier, and I could see about ten meters away before. The popular novel network is only a few meters away now, and it is estimated that after a while, the whole road will disappear in the fog.

I looked at the mist, and I became even more curious about the Hidden Jade Village inside, and I didn't know what was waiting for us in this ancient village.

"This is the junction between the forest and the village, it is relatively safe, you can rest for a while." Zhiyuan said to us.

"What about you?" I asked.

"When I meditate, I am resting, and at the same time I am aware of what is going on around me." He replied.

I remembered that every time he meditated, he looked calm and relaxed, and I knew that he didn't lie to me, so I didn't insist, and beckoned Liu Jin Suxi to sleep for a while.

When I woke up, the morning sun had risen, a fresh breeze was blowing, and I felt a lot better.

I first looked around, Zhiyuan still maintained a meditative posture, and Su and Liu were also lying by the firewood. I stood up and found that the forest had become a haze of smoke again, and the fog on the other side of the Hidden Jade Village had begun to dissipate, and I could faintly see the houses behind the path, and I felt a trace of excitement in my heart.

After a while, Liu Jin and Su Xi also woke up, we ate some food, cleaned up, and prepared to leave for the village. Zhiyuan stopped us and said that we should wait a little longer, I asked him what he was waiting for, and he said that he would wait until noon before entering, which was the master's explanation.

I know that the yang energy at noon is the most abundant, and Wu Bing must have a reason for this explanation. We came back to rest for a while, and it was not until noon that the fog had cleared and we walked along the path.

The trail is located between two peaks, and after walking for about ten minutes, we saw an old house on the side of the road with the door closed. Liu Jin was a little curious, so he said that it was daytime anyway, and we went over to see what was in the house, but his mention was denied by Zhiyuan, and Zhiyuan asked us to leave the other houses alone, just follow the signs on the map to find the old house and ancestral hall of the Su family.

Speaking of the map, we stopped, I took out the hide, and we studied it for a while, and finally found the place where we were on the map. The old house is also marked on the map, but it is not indicated what it is. Judging from its location, I think it should be similar to the "guard room" in other places, which is used by the people of the village to monitor people from the outside world.

After walking through this house, I walked for about ten minutes, turned a corner, and my vision widened up, this is indeed a small mountain village, and there are about twenty houses scattered on both sides of the path. Estimating women's blood.

At first glance, these houses are not modern and do not know how old they are.

All the way through, all the houses are closed, not to mention Liu Jin, even I have the urge to open the door to see what is going on, and it is thanks to the ambition of this trip to restrain us, otherwise we would definitely go to explore those houses.

According to the markers on the map, we quickly found the old mansion of the Su family, and strangely, the courtyard door of this old mansion was open, as if we knew that we were coming.

Seeing this strange situation, I was vigilant, looked at Zhiyuan, and I didn't know that he went straight inside. It seems that I guessed wrong, and the three of us followed.

After entering, I found that this is a courtyard house, much larger than the other houses, and it seems that the Su family's status in this hidden jade village is extraordinary.

I took a look, and there were five rooms in the courtyard, one large one facing the door, two on the left and two on the right, and the doors were all open. We walked through several rooms one by one, the one facing the door was supposed to be the hall, and the other had wings, latrines, and kitchens.

After walking for a while, we carefully inspected every room, but we couldn't find the so-called mechanism. Finally, we returned to the hall, where there was a shrine in the middle.

"Su Xi, give incense to your ancestors." Zhiyuan stood facing the shrine, reminding Su Xi.

Su Xi nodded, took the incense from Zhiyuan's hand, lit it and bowed to the shrine, and inserted the three pillars of incense.

After the incense was inserted, Zhiyuan kept staring at the incense, I asked him what he was looking at, he raised his hand, I had to shut up, but my heart was even more confused.

After a while, I was surprised to find that two of the three pillars of incense were not smoking, as if they were extinguished, and I went up to see that it was. I was a little panicked in my heart, I looked back at Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan's expression at this time was not good-looking, I asked him if he wanted to re-order it, he shook his head, and took out three pillars of incense from the cloth bag, after lighting it this time, he did not give it to Su Xi, but gave it to me and Liu Jin, and he kept one for himself, let us worship the ancestors of the Su family.

The three of us bowed separately, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner, this time until we saw that the three pillars of incense were burning for nearly a third without any problems, and then Zhiyuan beckoned us out of the hall.

"Su Xi, your ancestors are so stingy, we didn't give him incense, and he was still unhappy." After coming out, Liu Jin smacked his mouth and said.

"Don't talk nonsense when you get here." Zhiyuan immediately stopped him.

I also think that Liu Jin's kid speaks a little regardless of the occasion, the situation just now is obviously that something in the house has extinguished the incense, and now we are still in the Su family, he talks like this, that thing must know.

Although that thing is the ancestor of Su Xi, once it becomes a ghost thing, it can't always be guessed with ordinary people's thinking.

After coming out of the Su house, we found the ancestral hall according to the map mark. The ancestral hall is the innermost old house in Yinyu Village, the front door is overgrown with weeds, it is different from other houses, the wooden beams outside the ancestral hall are painted vermilion, which is very special.

The Su Mansion and the ancestral hall are the only two places marked on the map, the door of the Su Mansion was open just now, but now the door of the ancestral hall is closed.

Although the ancestral hall has long disappeared from the Chinese countryside, I know what the ancestral hall did in ancient times, and there were a large number of spirit tablets placed in it, each of which represented an ancestor of the clan. In other words, if there are ghosts, there should be a bunch of ghosts in the ancestral hall.

With such a thought, looking at this ancestral hall again, it can't help but make people feel depressed. At this time, it was already past noon, and the sky was overcast, which made this depressing feeling even worse.

Even so, Su Zhai didn't find the mechanism, so we had to go into this ancestral hall to find it. Zhiyuan walked towards the door, and the three of us followed.

Walking to the door, Zhiyuan put his hand on the door, and with a little force, the door opened to the back with a "squeak", revealing a crack, I looked in, the room was very dark, and I couldn't see it clearly by the light shining in from this gap alone.

Zhiyuan stepped over the high threshold and walked into the ancestral hall, and with the force in his hand, he directly pushed the entire door open.

As the door opened, a lot of dust fell on the edge of the door, Zhiyuan hurriedly stepped forward, I wanted to wait for the dust to fall before going in, thinking that this place was so weird, we still don't want to be separated, so I beckoned the two of them to follow in.

Walking into the house, I saw a platform on the platform, on which was a row of neatly arranged spirit cards, at first glance, there were hundreds of them.

Seeing so many spirit cards, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, and the feeling of depression just now quickly occupied my heart.

With the experience in the Su house, before looking for the agency this time, Zhiyuan asked us to incense the many ancestors of the Su family next to each other.

This time, in the order of the guest first and then the host, the three of us will serve the incense first, and finally Su Xi.

In such an atmosphere, even Liu Jin's face was a little strange, and it is estimated that he also felt the depression in the ancestral hall.

The three of us, each with a pillar of incense, bowed to the spirit card. The two of them were fine, but by this time something was wrong with me.

I took the light incense, when I worshipped, the hand holding the incense suddenly shook somehow, and the incense fell to the ground, and when I bent down to pick up the incense, I suddenly heard Liu Jin shouting "Be careful".

At this time, it was too late, first I was hit by something on the head, and then there was a "clang", and a spirit card fell to the ground in front of me.

I was a little weak by this sudden change, and I didn't care about picking up incense, so I took two steps back and raised my head to look at Zhiyuan.

Zhiyuan frowned and walked up to me, picked up the incense with one hand and the spirit card with the other, and he handed the incense to me and asked me to finish the action of putting on the incense.

At this time, I glanced at the words on the spirit tablet, and my eyes froze.
