Chapter 108 The living people in the deserted village
"Isn't the Ghost Mother Temple related to the secrets of Shouning Village?" I asked him with some uncertainty.
Coffin Chen slowly shook his head, "Not only is it related, but I am almost certain that the secret of Shouning Village is the secret of the Ghost Mother Temple."
"Then why are you taking me away? How about we go back now?" I looked at him strangely.
"Your current condition is not suitable for that place!" Coffin looked at me and said, "There are also Xiaohui and Leng Hongxia, and they cannot go there. Hu Ling, look at your jade!"
Coffin Chen suddenly said something that made me a little confused, my jade? Why do you want to see my jade? Does that place have anything to do with my jade?
I pulled the black jade on my chest out of my clothes, and when I took a look, I couldn't help but be shocked.
The originally moist and smooth black jade turned into a rough shapeless stone just like when my fourth uncle and grandma gave me a hand. The color was slightly gray, even worse than when my fourth uncle and grandma gave me a hand.
It is even uglier and more inconspicuous when it is used. If it is thrown into a pile of rubble, you will definitely not be able to distinguish it.
"How could this happen? Where on earth is that place? Is it an illusion in my mind?" I asked Coffin.
"This piece of jade of yours carries your soul. If it weren't for it, you would have died in it!" Coffin Chen's expression was solemn as never before, "That's the realm of ghosts and illusions, and it's the mother of ghosts."
The space under her jurisdiction, after coming out from there, she will become her devil, that is, an evil spirit. You should be the first person in the world to come out from there."
Then he looked at me worriedly and said: "That is the center of the Soul Locking Array. Now that your soul has been damaged, going to that place is tantamount to death! If I hadn't come quickly just now, you would have fallen into that place again.
It’s an illusion, and you really can’t get out of it.”
Soul locking formation?
I was horrified. This was the second time I heard Coffin Chen talk about this formation. Not only Coffin Xiaohui and Leng Hongxia should hide in the safety button and dare not come out of this formation, but also the entire village, until now,
We didn't meet any of the spirits. It turned out that we were all trapped in the spirit locking array of the Ghost Mother Temple.
"But the ghost mother should be a female, but why did I see a male?" I asked the question in my mind.
Coffin Chen shook his head slightly, "As for the person you are talking about, I don't know, but I have an intuition that he has a lot to do with the current situation of this village."
"Then who is the man in black who reminded me? Why can he go in?" I asked him again.
Coffin Chen was stunned for a moment, with a faint smile on his face, "Hu Ling, you don't want to know who he is, you just want me to tell you who he is, right?"
I was a little embarrassed and gave a sweet smile. Sure enough, nothing could be hidden from this impregnated coffin bird! Indeed, I just wanted to know from his mouth that this thing has been appearing in my dreams since I was fourteen years old.
Who is this man?
"You will naturally know who he is in the future." This is another extremely perfunctory statement.
Well, the secret must not be revealed!
I stopped asking him about the identity of the man in black, looked at him and asked, "What should we do now? Is there any news about Wang Wuyi?"
"Let's go around the village first to see if there are any other clues. As long as you don't get close to the Ghost Mother Temple, the Soul Locking Array won't be able to harm you for the time being!" Coffin Chen said.
I stopped talking or asking questions and slowly walked behind Coffin Chen in the desolate village. The surroundings were still dead silent, except for the sound of our rustling footsteps.
Looking at his back, I suddenly felt a little ashamed. Not long ago, I had hurt him with such heartless words, but he never mentioned it. Instead, he patiently explained all this to me. With a friend like him, he also
What more could you ask for?
After walking for about ten minutes, he and I came to a relatively intact courtyard. The courtyard wall collapsed only as high as our calves, but the courtyard door was still there, standing abruptly in the middle of the broken wall, and in the middle of the small courtyard.
The house seemed to have not been affected by the disaster three years ago. It was completely isolated there and looked particularly strange in the ruins of the village.
However, what was even weirder was not these. The house was dimly lit like the Ghost Mother Temple, and a person's shadow could be vaguely seen on the window. The figure held scissors in his hand and was cutting something under the lamp with his head down.
My heart started beating violently again. After passing the Ghost Mother Temple, I felt an almost despairing fear of the lights that appeared in this village.
Coffin Chen may have sensed my nervousness, or perhaps heard my beating heartbeat. He turned around and comforted me in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, we are human!"
People? I almost doubt whether Coffin Chen made a mistake in his judgment. How come there are still people in this place?
Coffin Chen stood outside the broken wall that could hardly be called a courtyard wall and looked at the small house and the person sitting under the window without saying a word. The person was unaware and showed no sign of looking back.
After staring like that for about a quarter of an hour, Coffin Chen walked to the courtyard door, raised his hand and knocked twice. The sound of knocking on the door was not loud, but in this extraordinarily silent and even deathly space, it was like
Inspiring and enlightening.
The figure under the window remained motionless, as if he had not heard the knock on the door, nor had he noticed that there were two unexpected guests at the door.
After standing outside the courtyard gate and waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the people inside did not respond, and Coffin Chen stopped knocking on the door. The people inside seemed to be silently confronting us.
"Brother, why don't we go in directly?" I asked in a low voice, somewhat puzzled by Coffin Chen's approach.
Coffin Chen didn't answer me, but raised his hand again, ready to knock on the door.
Before my hand fell on the courtyard door, the door suddenly opened slowly with a "squeak" sound. The wooden door chain seemed to have not been opened and closed for a long time, and the sound was sharp and harsh. Accompanied by the smell of rotten wood on the wooden door, it sounded cold and unsteady.
People are a little creepy.
Even though I was following Coffin Chen, I still felt that the string in my brain was tense, and I had the urge to turn around and run away at any moment.
Without allowing me to think too much, Coffin Chen had already stepped in. I followed him closely and walked into the small courtyard.
When I walked in, I discovered that the yard was exceptionally neat and clean. There were two vegetable plots planted beside the courtyard wall. What was grown in the vegetable plot was not vegetables, but epiphyllums. Under the moonlight, the epiphyllums were all in full bloom, shining with a moon-white luster.
There is a jujube tree outside the main door. The jujube tree is full of fruits.
There is a small square table under the date tree, with an old-fashioned blue and white teapot on it. There is no teacup. Next to the table is a rocking chair made of rattan. It swayed slightly back and forth in the night wind, as if someone had been lying on the chair just a moment ago.
A person, drinking tea and watching the stars comfortably.
The layout looks simple, but I feel that it is somewhat familiar, with some vague traces of Qimen Bagua, but when I look more closely, I don’t see anything wrong, it’s just an ordinary place.
It's just a courtyard. This chapter has been completed!
