Chapter 205: Blood Moon Rising (Part I)
Before long, a full moon gradually rose over the easternmost mountain.
I clenched the feather duster in my hand and stared at the moon.
The ghost number says there will be a blood moon tonight, and I'm curious, how can a good moon turn bloody?
The full moon rose little by little, and the silver glow was shining, illuminating the entire Hongcun, and even those heavy fogs seemed to have been penetrated a lot.
But what puzzles me is that its color is normal, like a smooth jade plate! After a while, the moon jumped out of the top of the mountain and hung in mid-air, and the silver glow became more and more intense, illuminating the entire Hongcun into daylight.
"Coo-coo-coo......" At this moment, the colorful eagle suddenly screamed a few times, looking very vigilant.
I hurriedly turned my head to look at it, and found that it was facing sideways, staring at the moon in the sky, and its body unconsciously bowed down, making an offensive and defensive posture.
My heart throbbed, and I hurriedly turned back, only to find that the moon, which had been perfect, had suddenly darkened to one side, and as time went on, there were more and more places darkened, and it seemed that something had eaten away at the whole moon.
I suddenly had a big mouth!
Lunar eclipse, tengu eats the moon!
Ominous!
The moon belongs to the Taiyin, a corner of the yin and yang of heaven and earth, if it has problems, it must be a harbinger of disaster!
In ancient times, both the people and the court regarded lunar and solar eclipses as unlucky, or even signs of chaos. Historically, some peasant uprisings were launched through people's "superstition" of lunar and solar eclipses.
The moon was eaten away little by little, and soon, the originally bright Hongcun was darkened again.
At this time, the wind was blowing, and it felt like a cold winter wind, blowing sand and rocks on the ground, and it also gave me goosebumps.
My scalp is fried, this moon is wrong, a lunar eclipse that may not be seen for ten years, it is so coincidental that it appeared at the time of the full moon today? And this gust of wind too, the weather in April and May is already hot and you can only wear single clothes, where is the really cold wind?
It didn't take long for the entire moon to be eaten away!
It's still a total lunar eclipse!
"Coo-coo-coo......" The cry of the colorful eagle became more vigilant.
I suddenly noticed that the corner of the moon, which had been blackened first, began to notice a little bit of light from the edge, and when I looked closely, it was the moon that came out again, which is what the folk say was spit out by the tengu. But what made me extremely frightened was that the corner was not silver, but red, blood-red light!
The more the moon vomits, the more vivid the red color becomes, and at this point it is completely a blood moon!
My brow furrowed, there was a blood moon!
The ghost number is not wrong! The good moon was eaten by the "tengu", spit it out, and it turned bloody!
After a while the whole moon came out, like a huge, glowing ball of blood! The most terrifying thing is that the light it casts falls to the ground, as if it has coated the ground with a layer of plasma, and it looks particularly oozing. I swallowed hard, and the cold air swished from the cracks between my bones, all of which the ghost number foresaw!
At this time, Hongcun's aura changed violently. I saw dozens of points of light suddenly light up from all corners of Hongcun, reflecting a little inexplicable brilliance, and the number of them increased.
When I looked at it, I found that those points of light were actually emitted by the reflection of the moonlight from the copper coins of the house, but the strange thing was that they reflected not blood-red light, but a kind of glowing milky white light.
Soon, those light points became brighter and brighter, and gradually concentrated, and the integrated beam illuminated the position of the village entrance, forming an effect like a light path! Immediately afterward, I saw someone walking in from the entrance of the village on the light path.
The first to step in was the Lady of the Horn!
Then there are Miao Miao, Gua Ge, Pi Yike, Wong Tai Sin, and Canghe, who is not dealing with the Troubled Women, in addition to a few black-clothed guards.
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Chen Jiutong was right, they issued copper coins to protect the house not to protect the house, but to break the formation, which was part of the plan. At this time, I found myself awkward, lying there for a while, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind me and covered my mouth.
I was taken aback, and just as I wanted to struggle, I heard Chen Jiutong's deep voice: "Don't shout, it's me!" ”
After saying that, he let go of me, and I hurriedly turned around and found that not only Chen Jiu was there, but Ma Yongde was also there, and he was squatting behind me.
Neither of us dared to speak any more, but then we saw the woman look at the entrance of the village for a while, and then led them into the grove.
"They're in!" I whispered.
Chen Jiutong didn't answer me, but looked at the shiny copper coins with shining eyes, and said, "Tsk, the means are really clever enough, and I actually thought of borrowing the popularity of the entire Hong Village to break the formation." ”
I was puzzled for a while, so I asked, "How do you break the formation?" ”
Chen Jiutong didn't answer directly, but asked me rhetorically: "Tell me, where is the fortress most likely to be breached?" ”
"Fortress?" I was stunned for a moment, and instinctively said, "Of course it's inside." ”
"That's it." Chen Jiutong smiled and said: "They understand that it will be very difficult to break the maze from the outside, and it is not easy to start, so they thought of borrowing the popularity of thousands of people in Hong Village, those copper coins have been manipulated, and they can gather the popularity of every household for their use, and the array is placed at the entrance of the village!" ”
"What is the Eye of the Formation?" I'm confused again.
"It's the core of the circle, remember when they helped the village build roads?" Ma Yongde interjected.
"Yes." I nodded, what kind of charity fund did the woman get to help Hong Village donate a road, although I don't understand why she wanted to help the village build the road, but the result was that the road was really repaired, and Shibata Xiong also became the village chief of Hong Village by virtue of this.
"The eye must have been planted when the roadbed was being built." Ma Yongde cut the railway.
"What?" I grew up and finally understood why the lew woman was trying to help the villagers build roads, it turned out that it was just to bury their eyes at the entrance of the village without attracting attention.
In other words, could it have expected to be today? So I hurriedly asked her if she had known about this day.
"Not necessarily."
Chen Jiutong shook his head and said: "The woman with a long mole was stopped out of the maze at the beginning, obviously it was also out of her expectations, and the array was probably buried in the idea of being prepared at that time, and it was part of the layout, but it was used in the end." ”
Ma Yongde also said: "They gathered the popularity of thousands of people in Hong Village, but they only opened the passage at the entrance of the village, which shows that they were also caught off guard when they encountered the maze, and they could only walk in after the completion of the previous layout." ”
"Makes sense." I nodded.
"Let's go, let's go check it out!" After a pause, Chen Jiutong patted me on the shoulder and motioned for me to follow, and then walked towards the grove step by step.
He didn't run straight in, but turned around and turned in the other direction of the grove, and took Ma Yongde and me to lie on a small dirt slope. I stuck my head out and looked down, and found that this position was really good, and I could easily see the lady's every move from a high vantage point.
At this time, the Lady and the others had already confronted the scum.
He also opened his eyes, and he was between the Lady and the remnant soul of the Demon King, as if he was protecting the Demon King.
Its eyes were blood-colored, and it was the same as before, staring vigilantly at the Lady Woman, who seemed ready to make a move, looking furious and uneasy!
"Knock knock!"
At the same time, the demon king's heart was beating tenaciously, hitting people's hearts, stuffy and painful, extremely uncomfortable.
My heart suddenly lifted, how powerful it is, I have seen it with my own eyes!
But the woman was not afraid, but pinched the seal with both hands, walked to a place less than twenty steps away from the sage, and began to chant words in her mouth, as if she was chanting a sacrificial text, and when she heard it, she felt that her head was inexplicably clear.
Chen Jiutong's face changed slightly, and he was surprised: "This is the Soul Returning Mantra!" ”
"What is she reading that for?" I wondered.
Chen Jiutong explained to me: "The Soul Mantra is not difficult to hear, when doing funeral rituals, the presiding mage usually recites a Soul Mantra, but they do not call it a Spirit Mantra, but a Soul Mantra; But whether it is a return to the soul or a return to the soul, it has the effect of awakening, presumably she also thinks that the chan has been manipulated and confused, and wants to awaken its original soul will. ”
"I see!" I was secretly surprised that something was really wrong with the scumbag, it was irritable and restless, but it retained a shred of sanity.
Two days ago, I went to worship the monument like this, it obviously did it against me, but it didn't kill me, but threw me into a straw pile. It feels like it's schizophrenia, half of the brain is trying to kill me, half of the brain doesn't want to attack me, and it becomes irritable and restless in the contradictions and entanglements.
In other words, someone or something really did something to it.
It has lost its original purpose.
After a while, I don't know if the Soul Charm of the Troubled Woman has worked, but I saw that the red light in the eyes of the Lady was getting weaker and weaker, and her tense body was lying on the ground, and the situation eased a lot.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, suddenly the Hongzi tablet shook slightly, and the fallen leaves, dead branches and mud fell on it, and a burst of blood-red light lit up, and it was the huge Hongzi! The red light shrank and shrank, as if it was breathing, and it looked particularly paradoxical.
At the same time, the red light in the eyes of the stinger instantly brightened, even more than before, and it snorted and bowed down, staring at the lew woman with a pair of bloody eyes.
The figure of the woman trembled slightly, and she slowly retreated backwards while concentrating on guard.
"The Hongzi tablet on the back of the gang is weird!" Chen Jiutong's face changed drastically and said: "It's the Hongzi Tablet that has affected the stele!" ”
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, which is obvious, and I will know it at a glance. As soon as the word Hong turned red, it immediately returned to its original state! In other words, it was the stele that controlled the stele, and it was the stele that caused the mania and restlessness of the stele.
Seeing that the leper woman had retreated, not only did he not calm down, but instead took a few steps forward and snorted several times, making an obvious attack posture, ready to strike at any time.
Seeing this, the woman had to take many steps back slowly.
"It's so strong!"
I was secretly frightened, the Lady of the Horn Woman has almost always flinched in the face of the invincible Demon King, although she is protected by a formation, but it is enough to show that she is very strong.
"Buzz ......"
At this time, the Hongzi tablet carried by the person on his body did not stop moving, and it was still trembling.
And the most bizarre thing is that the wisps of blood-colored moonlight nearby shone on the edge of the Hongzi stele, as if it was attracted by some kind of attraction, slowly sinking into the stele, swallowing the moonlight like a black hole.
It didn't take long......
"Bang!"
The sound of stone shattering sounded abruptly. I was shocked, and hurriedly looked at the stele, and was immediately stunned, only to see that a gap was revealed on the stele.
Soon the gap quickly expanded and extended, like a crack, and the stone skin on the outside fell, slowly revealing a dark red thing inside.
"There's something in the stele!" Ma Yongde was taken aback. As he spoke, the stone skin fell faster, revealing a rectangular object inside.
Chen Jiutong was dumbfounded and exclaimed: "The Hongzi tablet is not a tablet, but a coffin!" ”
