Getting up early at a fixed time every day has been Jiang Yue's good habit for many years.
No matter how late he slept, Jiang Yue would wake up naturally when this time came.
After a night, when I looked at the jade silkworms again, half of the tobacco plant was wiped out.
"Good guy, you've got a great appetite."
Looking at the whole body of the jade silkworm, there are several more circles of silver threads. This thread shines with a faint silver light, which is even more crystal clear in the daytime, and looks very pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Yue judged that this jade silkworm was spinning silk on a large scale. Once it started spinning silk on a large scale, it would probably stop eating.
Not being stingy at the moment, I took out two tobacco plants, chopped them into fine pieces, and spread them over two layers.
"Old man, keep working hard, you'll have enough condensed tobacco pipes."
After washing up, Jiang Yue went downstairs.
I found that my sister-in-law had gotten up early and was busy in the kitchen. Breakfast was almost ready.
"Auntie, are you ready to return home?"
"There is ready-made food, but it still can't stop your mouth? When my sister-in-law is gone, you won't be able to eat it no matter how good my sister-in-law is!"
Jiang Ying rubbed her sleepy eyes and had just gotten up.
"Xiao Ying, wake up the three dogs." My sister-in-law ordered the whole family fiercely.
An hour later, breakfast was served and the family was ready to go.
The boxes of supplies on the small truck were not moved at all. Except for some luggage, there was basically nothing to move.
My uncle was responsible for driving the truck, and Jiang Yue escorted the truck.
Jiang Ying drove Jiang Yue's Ranger, his sister-in-law took care of the baby, and the three dogs followed the car.
It takes several hours to go from Xingcheng to Panshiling. However, it is quite peaceful on the road in broad daylight.
The landslide on the Dajin Mountain side has been completely cleared and access is clear.
Near noon, the car arrived at the entrance of Panshiling Village.
The last battle left some remnants in Panshiling. Because no one came in or out for a long time, no one cleaned the fallen leaves and branches on the village road, making it look a bit desolate.
Looking at the village entrance, the entire Panshiling mountain village looks dilapidated, more like an abandoned mountain village.
The car slowly drove into the door of Jiang Yue's house.
Jiang Yue got out of the car, opened the courtyard door, and drove in.
The property rights of this old house belong to Jiang Yue's father, so it is regarded as the house of Jiang Yue's family.
Sangou's family also has an old house a hundred meters away. However, Sangou's old house has not been inhabited all year round. It has been in disrepair for a long time, leaking air and rain everywhere, and is obviously not suitable for habitation.
Although the two-and-a-half-story building of Jiang Yue's house is not luxurious, it is good enough that you can move in with your bags.
The home is fully furnished with all kinds of furniture. Not to mention my sister-in-law's family of three, it is more than enough for their big family to live in.
Two female generals lit a fire and prepared lunch.
Jiang Yue and Sangou were responsible for moving things out of the car.
After a lot of busy work, we finally settled in. A simple and warm lunch just came out of the oven.
"Xiao Yue, why do I feel that no one seems to live in Panshiling? Don't some people still live here usually?" My uncle had some questions.
Although there are not many families in the mountain village of Panshiling, there is not even a single left-behind family.
The fields beside the village entrance road have not been cultivated. They are overgrown with weeds and no crops can be seen. Various details indicate that Panshiling is no longer inhabited.
Under such conditions, my uncle felt even more nervous about living here. Judging from his tone, he was probably trying to persuade my sister-in-law to give up the idea of living back in Panshiling.
Of course Jiang Yue knew what was going on. The old people who were left behind were all taken away by Zhao Shouyin and became part of Jiuli Pavilion's army of ghosts. They were all wiped out in that battle.
These things are exactly what Jiang Yue will tell his sister-in-law soon.
However, seeing his uncle's courage, Jiang Yue decided to tell his sister-in-law alone.
Sangou hesitated to speak, but Jiang Yue glared at him, shrank his head, and picked up his rice obediently.
"In recent years, all the villagers left behind in Panshiling have moved away. Some of the left-behind elderly people may have passed away one after another, right?"
This statement could not withstand careful scrutiny, but seeing that my sister-in-law seemed a little unhappy, I did not continue to ask further questions.
After lunch, Jiang Yue and the others were not in a hurry to go back.
Call the three dogs and walk around in a circle.
We have contacted the workers for repairing the ancestral hall gate, and they will come to do the work in the afternoon.
Before the workers arrived, Jiang Yue decided to patrol the area first to see if there was anything unusual in Panshi Ridge recently.
I walked around from house to house, and every house looked like it had not been lived in for a long time. The inside and outside of the house were covered with spider silk, and the weeds in and outside the yard were almost knee-high. The walls of several houses had even begun to collapse.
, became a dangerous house.
Jiang Yue sighed secretly.
Thinking back to ten years ago, or even six or seven years ago, there were still many left-behind villagers in Panshiling.
Who would have thought that it has only been a few years and it has already become so desolate, which is really disappointing.
"Second brother, that old bastard Zhao Shouyin killed these people in our village. Even if the ghosts are exterminated, there will still be bones, right?" Even though Sangou is young, he still takes the love of incense very seriously.
Jiang Yue raised his head and glanced at the mountain behind.
That day, hundreds of ghosts were walking at night, and judging from their walking tracks, they were walking from the back mountain to Jiuli Pavilion.
Jiang Yue guessed that most of the corpses of the villagers left behind were dumped in the back mountains.
"Go to the back mountain and have a look."
For Sangou, the back mountain of Panshiling is equivalent to the backyard of his home. He can touch it and walk out with his eyes closed.
After a while, the two followed the traces and came to the cave.
The two of them stayed at the entrance of the cave for a while. Jiang Yueer tried his best to make sure there was no danger inside, and then he called the three dogs into the cave.
Inside the cave, the remnants of the magic circle left by Zhao Shouyin are still clearly visible.
There are still burnt-out candle remnants at the four corners of the cave, and candle wax dripping on the cave floor has also left obvious evidence.
The magic circle in the middle of the cave, with its evil graphics and weird array ornaments, is exactly the same as it was then, looking weird and ferocious.
Around the circle, more than a dozen corpses had rotted, exuding a suffocating rotten smell.
There was a pool of blood next to each corpse, but it had already dried up and turned into a dark brown blood spot, witnessing the tragic scene of these people's throats being cut.
"This beast!" Sangou was so angry that he was trembling all over. Although these corpses were rotten, all the faces were familiar to Sangou. They were all fellow villagers who had grown up watching them.
Jiang Yue checked around, but was still a little worried. He stepped forward and smeared and wiped the pattern of the magic circle.
"Sangou, find more firewood and burn them all."
With so many corpses, digging deep pits would require tools, but they did not carry these tools.
Burning it may be the best way to deal with it.
Firstly, it can prevent this magic circle from being used by future generations, and secondly, it can also prevent these corpses from changing and turning into evil spirits to harm the world.
Although there seems to be no sign of change in these corpses at present, no one can guarantee that something unexpected will happen in these strange times.
If this cave touches some spiritual power of heaven and earth, causing these corpses to mutate, it is not completely impossible.
My sister-in-law and her family should always live in Panshiling, try their best to nip problems in the bud and eliminate risks before they occur.
As for the ferocious beasts deep in the mountains around Panshi Ridge, there is no need to worry. The last beast wave basically wiped out the ferocious beasts within a hundred miles radius.
I checked around the back mountain and found no potential risks.
Jiang Yue stood on the hillside and looked far away from the village. He walked out of the village road towards Dajin Mountain and walked nine miles, which was Jiuli Pavilion.
Jiuli Pavilion has to go through several twists and turns, but from the angle of the back mountain, you can't see it.
Thinking of the broken beams of Jiuli Pavilion and the broken back of the Suzaku, Jiang Yue felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.
Zhao Shouyin committed many evil deeds and was executed.
But Jiang Yue always felt that the rumor that Jiuli Pavilion was related to the feng shui of a place had gone back hundreds of years. Jiuli Pavilion suppressed a party's luck, and the occurrence of a bad omen such as the Suzaku's broken spine was definitely not due to Zhao Shouyin's evildoing.
The Feng Shui aura of Dajin Mountain cannot be that small.
It has been rumored since ancient times that the peaks of the Dajinshan Mountains are related to the fate of the entire Star City. It is precisely because there is such a missing mountain in the south that there is a fly in the ointment.
Therefore, practice Jiuli Pavilion to supplement your potential.
It can be said that Jiuli Pavilion is the key to this Feng Shui field, but it is also the fatal weakness of this Feng Shui field.
Thousands of feet are potential, and hundreds of feet are form.
Jiuli Pavilion undoubtedly has obvious flaws in terms of situation.
Now that the beam is broken, from a Feng Shui perspective, this defect will undoubtedly be magnified infinitely.
"Second brother, I wonder how Jiuliting is doing now?"
Jiang Yue was actually a child who grew up in Xingcheng. When he was a child, he lived with his grandfather in Panshiling, which was not a long-term stay.
In contrast, Sangou is a child who really grew up in Panshiling.
Sangou's feelings for Panshiling are obviously more complicated.
Naturally, I believed even more deeply in the rumors that Jiuli Pavilion was magical.
The battle scene in Jiuli Pavilion is not as spectacular as the beast tide.
But in terms of the traces left by the battle, Jiuliting was undoubtedly much more tragic.
Panshiling was pushed horizontally by the spiritual fire and was almost purified, but it was not that obvious.
Jiuli Pavilion's Hundreds of Ghosts Pulling Their Hair, To a certain extent, shook the foundation of Jiuli Pavilion.
I recall that day in the Jiuli Pavilion battle, when hundreds of ghosts moved the mountain, and that weird ghost rope almost dragged out the red Bagua sealed in Jiuli Pavilion.
Later, the flying sword jumped out of Kenmaru and killed hundreds of ghosts, and the red Bagua returned to Jiuli Pavilion.
Since then, Jiang Yue has not been to Jiuli Pavilion again.
At this moment, I came back after half a month. Looking from a distance, Jiuli Pavilion's momentum was obviously more sluggish, and the broken spine was obviously depressed a lot.
In such a comparison, it is even far inferior to the state seen when I visited the grave last time.
Sangou looked ugly: "Second brother, Jiuli Pavilion may collapse if the beams are not rebuilt."
Renovating the roof of a pavilion is very simple from a civil engineering perspective. But from a metaphysical perspective, it is not that easy.
Who knows how many magic formations are arranged in Jiuli Pavilion? Who knows how much meaning the red Bagua and the runes on the Bagua contain?
Changing a beam rashly is an act of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, and may not help.
"Let's go over and have a look."
A white tiger fights a green dragon, and a red bird breaks its back.
This is what they saw last time they visited the grave.
This time, the two brothers revisited their old place, and their mood was undoubtedly heavier.
Before he could get closer, Jiang Yue suddenly stopped.
"Sangou, is there anyone in the pavilion?"
The three dogs were startled and looked toward the pavilion.
"No? Second brother, did you see someone? It can't be..."
Sangou has a timid character. Instead of being afraid, he quickened his pace and trotted towards the pavilion.
Jiang Yuesheng was afraid that something might be wrong, so he quickly followed.
The two of them came to the pavilion. The pavilion was dark and gloomy, but it was empty and there was no one around.
"Second brother, are you mistaken? The shadows appearing in this ghost place are probably not human beings, right?" Sangou mumbled.
Jiang Yue frowned and said nothing, instead looking around the pavilion.
With his current eyesight, there was no way he could see it wrong. Just now, a silhouette clearly flashed past the pavilion and disappeared into the blind spot.
How could I get it wrong?
While he was in doubt, the three dogs next to him let out a strange bark and turned around suddenly.
"who?"
The three dogs looked shocked. They turned their heads and looked around. There was also no shadow in their field of vision.
"Second brother, someone just slapped me on the back of the head." Sangou touched the back of his head, his face full of surprise.
He even suspected that his second brother was playing tricks on him.
"Why are you looking at me?" Jiang Yue was speechless, "You don't think it's me, do you?"
"Second brother, is it really not you?"
Jiang Yue rolled his eyes: "Is your second brother so boring?"
"What the hell, who is that bastard?" Seeing Jiang Yue's denial, Sangou suddenly became angry and felt that he was being teased.
Jumping on his feet and cursing.
"oops!"
Sangou's hand touched the back of his head again.
This time it was not a touch, but a solid brain collapse, commonly known as stir-fried chestnuts.
This time Sangou couldn't possibly suspect Jiang Yue because Jiang Yue was in front of him.
"Second brother, someone knocked me on the head." Sangou felt aggrieved, as if he was bullied by an older child when he was a child and went to help his second brother.
Jiang Yue also realized at this moment that there was definitely some force behind this.
But now it is broad daylight, the sun is shining brightly, it is the time when the Yang Qi is strong in the afternoon, how dare evil spirits come out to run wild?
He's not an evil spirit, is he a human being?
If he is a human, where is he hiding? Unless he can become invisible, or at least have supersonic speed, it is impossible to trick three dogs and disappear from the sight of two people.
Moreover, Jiang Yue was so focused just now that he really didn't feel anyone moving.
No matter how fast a person goes, there will always be movement.
"over there!"
Sangou suddenly yelled and pointed in the direction of Dajin Mountain: "Second brother, I saw it. There was a figure that flashed into the forest."
The place he was pointing to was no matter what, one or two hundred meters away from where they were.
One second he gave Sangou a stir-fried chestnut, and the next second he ran into the forest? What speed is this? Even a ghost can't move this fast, right?
"Go over and have a look."
Jiang Yue's heart moved and he took the lead in taking steps.
"Ma Dan, it's unreasonable to tease your Sangou father. It doesn't matter whether you are a human or a ghost, don't let me catch you." Sangou cursed and followed.
"Keep your mouth clean." Jiang Yue scolded.
Going up to Dajin Mountain is no joke.
Those who are buried there are all the ancestors of Panshiling from all generations, and their dirty mouths are disrespectful to their ancestors, which is outrageous.
For some reason, Jiang Yue had an intuition. It was sunny and it was afternoon, so it was not an evil spirit causing trouble, but something else.
