Chapter 60: Turning Taboos into Reminders Cleverly

"There are really feng shui taboos."

Tu Yu muttered, and then read down: "There are no people at the end of the corridor, no one is in the sky, no one is knocking on the door four times, and the holy daughter of Dong Hua does not marry." ”

"That's all," Tu Yu straightened up after reading and looked at Yan Lan suspiciously, "What is the Holy Maiden of Dong Flowers?" What do you mean by knocking on the door four times? ”

"The Holy Maiden of Donghua is suspicious, but it is easy to knock on the door four times."

Yan Lan said: "In the middle of the night, knocking on the door and knocking four times is the ghost knocking on the door, people knocking on the door to knock three times, people knocking on the wrong door are likely to enter the wrong door, people hearing the wrong may open the wrong door."

"At the end of the corridor is our room, and it stands to reason that the yin qi is not suitable for people, and it depends on luck whether you die or not; The same is true when the moon reaches the sky, it happens to be the day when the yin door is open at midnight, and it is easy to bump into evil spirits. ”

Tuyu nodded.

"What else is there?"

Yan Lan looked at Xuan Mingfeng, "I was in such a hurry just now, is there a taboo involving hotel time?" ”

"Yes."

Xuan Mingfeng nodded, took out a piece of paper with Chinese characters written on it, and handed it to Yan Lan.

"This was found from the front desk on the first floor, and it was nailed to the table with a knife."

There are only two lines of words, which are arrogant and skillful handwriting:

[Outsiders, they are not allowed to leave the hotel before dawn after half past nine in the evening, they are not allowed to approach the back mountain, and they are not allowed to stay away from the Sa Sui Festival]

[The rest depends on fate, do not die, can live]

The tone of the voice is very familiar.

"Back Mountain?"

"There is indeed a mountain behind the inn, and it takes about twenty minutes to walk," Xuan Mingfeng said, "It should be said that one." ”

Yan Lan pondered, took the knife in his hand and looked at it.

The blade is thin, but also sharp enough.

"Give me this first."

Xuan Mingfeng had no opinion, and Yan Lan put it in his backpack.

"We're all back, it seems that we are the only ones late."

As he was talking, Lu Shuwen pushed the door in and said hello with a smile.

The threshold was a little high, and she rubbed the soles of her feet as she walked, staining them with reddish soil.

Pei Yuchen then closed the door and looked at Yan Lan: "Come back so early, do you find anything in the Bai Shi Yan?" ”

Yan Lan shook her head: "A pregnant woman passed away, and the white banquet was changed to tomorrow night." ”

"We've also heard about that pregnant woman," Pei Yuchen pursed his lips, "I heard that when I went to the Yansan River to release fish, I was bitten by the Gu rat that was kept there, and I died." ”

Lu added: "The three rocks are located in the westernmost part of Donghua Village, and the Sa Sui Temple is one of the three, where pregnant women or women who have given birth will go to release a few fish and pray for the safety of their children. ”

"Put the fish, rock three...... It just matches the song before entering the village. ”

Feeling the little white snake spinning, Yan Lan quietly pressed her sleeve with her hand, and her fingertips soothed and tapped, slowly like a beat:

"Offering fish to the river, the gods on the three rocks appeared, and the gong lay on the ground and hit three hammers."

The crowd pondered in silence.

"You said to go to those Miao children to inquire about the Sa Sui Festival," Yan Lan looked at Pei Yuchen, "Did you find anything?" ”

Compared with Lu Shuwen, Pei Yuchen is better observant.

"Yes," Pei Yuchen frowned and nodded, "But those children are very wary of us outsiders, and we can only inquire about the simple process of the Sa Sui Festival." ”

"The Sasui festival requires wearing a mask to dress up as a parade, and the mask worn by the leader is called 'Onisa', and the best person from the younger generation needs to play the role, and in previous years, it was a test of dance skills to select the top 10 martial arts, and this year is the same.

"Tomorrow is the day of the competition, and the patriarch's child, the one named Ah Sheng, is the most likely to be competent."

"We plan to go to see the martial arts competition tomorrow, and by the way, we will go to the village to inquire again," Pei Yuchen paused after speaking, "What about you?" ”

Xuan Mingfeng handed over the paper and briefly said the translation and Yan Lan's explanation, "So I have to come back before eight o'clock tomorrow and remember the time." ”

Lu Shuwen nodded, "We know, if it's okay, let's rest today." ”

Her smile was a little strong, she looked very tired, and her eyes were not as warm as they were when they first met, hiding a little bloodshot.

After speaking, he gestured to his head and turned to go upstairs.

"Wait." Yan Lan looked sideways.

Lu Shuwen stiffened slightly, and quickly returned to normal: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, just a reminder to the two of you," Yan Lan smiled lightly, "This taboo is not complete, even if you avoid these, you may violate the taboo, so be careful." ”

"Not quite?"

"The tour guide overreacted to the three of us," Yan Lan pointed to the paper in Xuan Mingfeng's hand, "but there are no taboos here." ”

Lu Shuwen nodded: "Thank you for reminding me." ”

"It should." Yan Lan watched the two go upstairs.

Taboo is such a simple thing, even if Pei Yuchen doesn't find out, Lu Shuwen shouldn't either.

Distraught?

"Feng Shui taboo says don't let you live at the end of the corridor."

Xuan Mingfeng looked at Yan Lan, "Do you want to move out?" ”

"No, it's just right to live there, not to mention that moving out may also violate other taboos."

Xuan Mingfeng hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Then you guys be careful tonight." ”

"Did he just say that he would change rooms with us?" Tuyu asked.

"yes."

Yan Lan sighed and smiled, "But there is no reason for people to play life and death, and some moral standards are better to abandon." ”

What's more, Xuan Mingfeng has a task in his body, not to mention that Yan Lan doesn't intend to owe favors.

Affection debt is cause and effect, and she prefers not to owe each other.

"It's 8:50 and there's forty minutes left, shall we go out and find something to eat?"

Tu Yu glanced at the time, and then looked at the dishonest white snake in Yan Lan's sleeve, "I didn't get a meal at the white banquet just now, this little white snake should be very hungry." ”

When Bai Yan heard this, he hurriedly poked his head out and spit out the snake letter: "Okay, okay, let's go catch mice and eat." ”

[Dare to eat mice, is this snake intentional?!] ]

[Don't go out and die, stay honest!] ]

[Damn, the anchor is really sick and banned for half an hour! ] The heat is cut in half, and the newcomers have pits in their brains]

[For the sake of a female corpse and the great elder of the family, my God, I really don't know how thick the sky is]

[Go out, hurry up and die, hurry up and finish, what kind of virgin is pretending, disgusting]

"Are you hungry?"

Yan Lan rubbed her fingers sideways against the little snake's jaw, watching it look up comfortably, and the seven-inch hanging Five Emperor Coins clanged.

"Hmm." The little snake's eyes sparkled in response.

"There is a big mouse hole on the mountain behind, and my brother and I go there every time to find food, but the last time we went to the field next to the temple to catch mice, we caused trouble."

"Back Mountain, Mouse Hole ......"

Yan Lan looked at the moon outside the window, very interesting.

"Does it stack the death buff?"

[It's broken, she's heartbroken]

[Whose good people use taboos as reminders!] Can you comply with it once?! ]

"It's a good time to explore the back mountains."

Yan Lan pinched her fingers, counted Tu Yu, and was relieved after getting the hexagram: "Don't worry, it's not a desperate road, you can't die." ”

“?”

Tuyu's eyelids jumped: "Huh? ”

She watched Yan Lan go out and hurriedly followed, "You wait for me, how can you be better than me...... Didn't you say that you take care of yourself? ”

Who's healthy people are in such a state!

"Wait, slow down! You take one step, I'm going to take one and a half steps, can you take care of the underage?! ”

The door of the inn swayed in the wind, and a pure black mouse emerged from the corner, its scarlet eyes staring at the departing two.

The long tail writhed and squeaked into the hole.
