The old cat continued: "Originally, the Demon Slayer Sword was at its peak, and it would soon become a great character like the Eight Great Masters. Unexpectedly, ten years ago, the Demon Slayer Sword suddenly disappeared out of thin air. It really disappeared.
Almost overnight, no one in the entire industry had any news about him, it was as if he had disappeared from the world..."
I quickly asked: "How did you disappear? Where did you disappear?"
The old cat paused for a moment, then a strange light appeared in his eyes, and he said two words lightly: "Yanjing."
"Yanjing?!"
I was so frightened that I almost screamed. Thanks to my strength to shut up, I swallowed these two words.
Dahuang disappeared here? Is it possible that his disappearance is also related to the subway supernatural and the four major families? Then all this is too weird, right?
I quickly asked: "How did it disappear? Does anyone know some details? Did Dahuang perform some tasks... Old cat, please tell me."
Old Mao glanced at Dahuang in front of him to make sure that Dahuang hadn't woken up, then lowered his voice and said: "I don't know the specifics, but I heard that the Ghost Slayer Sword received a huge business, and suddenly
Came to Yanjing from the south, but since that time, the Ghost Slaying Sword has completely disappeared on the road, and no one who entrusted him with it before knows where it came from, so... if something happens to the Ghost Slaying Sword
, that must have happened here.”
Suspicion suddenly arose in my mind, and I quickly asked: "By the way, wasn't it in the south when you met Dahuang? Could it be that something happened to the Ghost Slayer here back then, and then it ran to the south?"
The old cat spread his hands and said, "I don't know about this either."
The more I think about it, the stranger it becomes. With Dahuang’s strength, he can kill the thirty-seven ghosts of the Bai family at will, and among them is Bai Zunyi, who is extremely capable. What happened to him here back then?
It is impossible for ordinary evil spirits to kill him. Could it be that there are other more powerful evil spirits?
And why did Dahuang suddenly become like this, and what is the strange jade on his chest?
I thought about it, but nothing seemed right, but the old cat didn't know about these problems, so I could only beat my chest and scream helplessly.
After more than an hour's drive, we finally arrived in the suburbs. It was still daytime, so there shouldn't be any evil spirits at work. What we meant was to get this matter done quickly during the daytime, so as to save a long night and a lot of dreams.
However, when we arrived at the village where the Bai family's ancestral home is located, I found that we had thought too much. The dark houses of the Bai family's ancestral home were still located there, but there were many old people scattered around the Bai family's ancestral home.
As soon as we were about to approach the Bai family's ancestral home, several enthusiastic old comrades came over and started questioning us, as if they were the guardians of the Bai family's ancestral home.
Lao Mao and I continued to use the same strategy as last time, saying that we were distant relatives of the Bai family. Of course, such inferior lies could not deceive those cunning uncles and aunts. After all, the three of us, Da Huang and Lao Mao,
Their accents are all different, so it would be a bit far-fetched to say they are distant relatives.
At the end of the day, more and more villagers gathered outside the Bai family's ancestral home. They all criticized us, saying that we were outsiders who had fallen in love with the Bai family's ancestral home and wanted to come and steal it. One indignant aunt even took out a copycat.
Elderly mobile phone, I want to call 110 to call the police.
I had a feeling of powerlessness as if a scholar meets a soldier. Seeing that our situation was getting more and more critical, I just grabbed the old cat and Dahuang and ran out of the village. This kind of uncle and aunt are the most untouchable. They have plenty of time to waste with us.
Yes, and if the police are really alerted, the three of us may really be arrested as thieves.
In desperation, the three of us hurriedly ran out of the village and hid in a small col on the side of the road.
Dahuang sighed helplessly and said: "These villagers are really warm-hearted. I don't know how many benefits the Bai family has given them, but they won't even let them in."
The old cat stared at the mountain village in the distance with a thoughtful look on his face and said: "Well, it seems we can only wait until dark and all the old people have fallen asleep before going there."
I was stunned and had a bad premonition in my heart, so I asked, "Do we have to wait until dark? The elders and aunties will be gone when it gets dark, but the evil ghosts of the Bai family will probably come out of their holes, right?"
The old cat smiled bitterly: "A ghost is always easier to deal with than a living person. You can't beat a living person, and you might even end up in jail. Ghosts are much easier. If you can't beat them, at least you can still hope to escape."
I sighed and said: "Old Mao, you are too confident. If we encounter those elders of the Bai family that Qingyi Xian mentioned, I'm afraid we won't be able to run away even if we want to, right?"
Lao Mao didn't answer me, but I knew he must also have such doubts.
I looked at Dahuang again and asked: "Dahuang, can your ghost-slaying sword be used at any time? Why do you have to wait for the cooling time?"
Dahuang's face changed, obviously a little embarrassed. He seemed to touch the jade on his chest through his shirt, and then said: "Actually, it's not that you have to wait for the cooling time, it's just... Well, Lin Yang, please trust me, I'm sure
I don’t mean to hide it to preserve my strength, but it’s just that it’s good for you and me.”
I don’t know what Dahuang’s secrets are. Anyway, I can’t understand most of his words.
Time passed by, and the three of us had nothing to do, waiting from noon until the sun set.
It gets dark a little earlier inside the mountains than outside. Basically it’s almost dark just after 7:30.
I took a look inside the village and asked: "Do you think all those old guys have gone home? There should be no danger for us to go there now, right?"
But Old Mao was very calm and said: "Wait a little longer, don't worry. If they see you if you go early, I'm afraid these people will stay up all night and watch the Bai family house."
I had no choice but to give up and wait with them for another hour. Dahuang had nothing to do, so he just lay on the ground and watched the stars. In fact, the environment in the city was too bad and there was smog, so it had been a long time since we could see the stars. Fortunately, here
The air in the mountain village is very good and the environment is wonderful. Listening to the cries of night birds and looking at the stars in the sky is very comfortable.
Finally, when it was around nine o'clock, Lao Mao took a look at the mountain village and made sure that all the uncles and aunts were asleep. Then he said with confidence: "The time has come, let's take action!"
Dahuang and I jumped up from the ground, patted the dust on our bodies, and followed the old cat into the village on tiptoes, as if a thief had entered the village.
The old cat probably still didn't trust me, so he kept turning back to me and said: "Lin Yang, you will definitely encounter evil spirits on this trip, but no matter what happens, you must not make it public. Even though those elderly people have hard ears, there is no guarantee."
If a few of us heard what we were doing, it would be bad."
I nodded and said, "Old Cat, don't worry, I have already practiced it after so long."
The old cat nodded and said, "That's good."
The three of us formed a long snake formation and walked from the end of the village to the Bai family residence on the other side.
The Bai family's old house was built close to the mountain, with a unique layout, and the entire courtyard is simple and solemn.
The dark door was locked, and we definitely couldn't pry it in. Fortunately, the courtyard wall was not too high, and there was a Chinese toon tree on the west side of the house. The three of us climbed straight up like monkeys, bypassed the courtyard wall, and suddenly
Jumped into the courtyard.
With a "plop", I landed on my feet. Looking around, I saw that the front yard of the Bai family's ancestral house was really quite big.
However, the courtyard is already abandoned and overgrown with weeds. There is something similar to a well in the middle of the courtyard. This kind of thing is called a "cellar". It is a small warehouse used to store things in the north. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very convenient.
To the northwest is a well, which seems to have dried up a long time ago. There is a faucet hanging outside the well, which is also rusty. To the southwest is a dry toilet, and even the door has been blocked by weeds, making it even more desolate.
I glanced around and whispered: "Fortunately, everything goes well, old cat, shall we go into the house now?"
Before the old cat could speak, Dahuang suddenly frowned and looked towards the dry toilet on the southwest side.
I thought in my mind, did Dahuang see something? I quickly followed Dahuang's gaze. This sight was so good that I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. I saw half a face looming in the grass covering the mouth of the toilet, and a pair of empty eyes.
