Chapter Twenty-Eight: Weddings and Funerals
As if to verify something, Feng Yun quickly took out the compass and looked at it with the light.
But at this time, the magnetic needle on the compass is still rotating at high speed, and it is worth noting that the direction of the magnetic needle is exactly the opposite of before.
"Yin and yang are reversed, I know that this Longhua Road is different, but I never thought that the yin side of this Longhua Road is still hiding such a place."
Hearing this, the faces of the fat man and Yan Qilin were full of doubts, they didn't know what Feng Yun said.
This strange scene was also the first time they had seen it in their lives.
Although Feng Yun's heart was shocked, this consternation was not shown by him.
He walked slowly forward, and led the two of them to the foot of the big locust tree.
There was no wind around, but the leaves of the big locust tree were rustling all the time.
The surrounding area centered on the locust tree is very cold, and there is an indescribable weirdness everywhere.
"Director, when I walked the rivers and lakes, I heard about the legend of the locust tree.
People say that this is a ghost tree, and it is strictly forbidden to plant it next to the house.
But how do you look at the houses around here, they all look like they were built around this big locust tree.
Also, you just said that this place belongs to the shady side, and who built the house here?
Or may I put it another way, is there really a person living in this house? ”
The fat man lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that his voice would be too loud and that he would attract something even more terrifying.
And the questions he asked, Feng Yun's mind quickly came up with corresponding answers.
"Now that I've finally figured it out, I've said before that this haunting monster isn't very profound, so I've been wondering how he was able to control so many people through illusions.
That's the problem......
Including this Longhua Road, no one has ever developed it for many years, but has left batch after batch of unfinished buildings.
The root of the problem is here, this is not only the yin side of Longhua Road, but also the yin qi of the entire Yan County. ”
"Huh?"
The fat man and Yan Qilin looked at Feng Yun in surprise, and it was obvious that the development of things had impacted their original worldview again and again.
"This locust tree is caused by the gathering of yin qi in Yanjun, and there is almost such a place in every city, but now this monster is making waves through this place, and the meaning is different.
You just asked me where these houses came from, can you take a good look at the differences between these houses? ”
According to what Feng Yun said, the fat man looked at the house with white lights not far away.
It looks like these houses are bungalows, and there is nothing special about them except that they are compact.
But the fat man, who had been busy observing the house, didn't notice that Feng Yun had already walked behind him at this moment, his thumb was clasped at the base of his ring finger, and then he slapped the fat man's shoulders hard.
"Smack! Syllable! ”
A feeling of dizziness followed, and a person as strong as a fat man stumbled two steps because of this to stabilize his balance.
"Director, why did you hit me all of a sudden?"
For some reason, after being beaten by Feng Yun twice, the fat man felt that his back hurt as if all the strength of his body had been drained, and he had an indescribable sense of weakness.
Feng Yun didn't answer the fat man's question directly, but pointed not far away, and motioned for the fat man to take a look at those houses again.
The fat man looked back curiously, and then felt a tingling of his scalp.
As far as the eye could see, there were houses everywhere, and around the big locust tree were densely packed graves that were extremely uncomfortable.
And among these graves, the fat man could see some vague figures walking back and forth among them.
Their movements were stiff and slow, but no matter how they walked, they seemed to follow a predetermined trajectory, constantly circling around the big locust tree.
"Smack! Syllable! ”
Feng Yun slapped the fat man on the shoulder again, which really made the fat man shiver, but the picture in front of him returned to the original appearance.
Where are there any graves, let alone vague figures in the graves.
As far as I can see, this scene is not an illusion of a fat man, on the contrary, it is the true appearance of the dark side of Longhua Road.
There are three gods in man, and the three gods correspond to the three fires on the shoulders and above the head.
There has always been an old saying among the people: If you are not afraid of the little ghost screaming, you are afraid of the ghost blowing the lamp at night.
These three fires are three lamps, the lamps are extinguished, and the gods have no skills.
Therefore, in the older generation, the elderly in the family will always warn their children that if you hear someone calling your name at night when you are walking at night, do not look to both sides.
If you blow out the fire on your shoulder, you will summon a ghost to the ghost.
Feng Yun just suppressed the fire on the fat man's shoulder, which made the fat man see the truth of this yin side clearly.
At this moment, the fat man's face was pale, he looked at Feng Yun in astonishment, speechless.
Feng Yun took a deep breath, looked around solemnly and said:
"Look at these houses for what they really are, the living and the dead will be drawn here by the ghosts of this tree.
Over time, the yin energy on the yin side became deeper and deeper, and even the yang side was affected, so everything was unfavorable. ”
"Director, all the dead people in Yan County will come here?"
Feng Yun understood the meaning of Yan Qilin's words, didn't the people keep saying that people should go to the underworld after they died?
Why are you here?
This topic seemed to be a bit heavy for Feng Yun, so much so that his tone was much lower:
"The people who will come here are miserable people who have no one to bury them.
They don't have family members to rank them for worship and to erect a monument for burial, so they can't find a way to the underworld.
What people call death is not actually death, and being forgotten is something more terrible than death.
These people either died in a foreign land with no one to bury, or they died on the streets without their families and were hastily disposed of.
So from ancient times to the present, white things and red things are equally famous.
Weddings and funerals are even more solemn than weddings in many places.
Being born with a name, and having a home when you die, this is the cycle of heaven. ”
Hearing what Feng Yun said, the two finally understood the situation in front of them.
The yin qi of this extremely yin place gathered, forming this old locust tree.
The locust tree attracts lonely souls and wild ghosts, and it also makes the yin energy of this place more and more thick, and the cycle continues, and the Longhua Road on the sunny side has become an unstoppable place.
However, this matter does need time for the two of them to digest, they have just joined the polling bureau, and they have to accept the fact of the existence of ghosts after finally accepting the fact of the existence of demons.
This is the other side of this world, which cannot be seen or touched, but it is always there......
