Chapter 243 Jiuli Pavilion, strangeness returns

  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, I looked at the jade silkworms again, and half of the tobacco plant was wiped out.

 “Good guy, you’ve got a great appetite.”

Looking again at 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 the 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, please refuel and dry it, the tobacco pipe will be enough.”

 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.

“Girl, are you so eager to return home?”

"There is ready-made food, but it still can't stop your mouth? When my sister-in-law leaves, 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.

 “Xiaoying, call the three dogs.” My sister-in-law was in charge of the whole family.

 An hour later, breakfast was served and the family was ready to go.

The box of supplies on the small truck was not moved at all. Except for some luggage, there was basically nothing to move.

 Uncle is responsible for driving the truck, and Jiang Yue is responsible for escorting the truck.

Jiang Ying drove Jiang Yue’s Cruiser, her sister-in-law took care of her baby, and her three dogs followed the car.

It takes several hours to go from Xingcheng to Panshiling. But we are on the road in broad daylight, so the journey is quite peaceful.

 The landslide on the Dajin Mountain side has been completely cleared, and there is no obstruction to traffic.

 At close to noon, the car arrived at the entrance of Panshiling Village.

The last war left some remnants in Panshiling. Because no one came in or out for a long time, the fallen leaves and dead branches on the village road were not cleared, making it look a bit desolate.

Looking at it from the entrance of the village, 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 are owned by 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.

Jiang Yue’s two-and-a-half-story building is not luxurious, but it is good enough for you to move in with your bags.

The house is fully equipped 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 unloading things from the car.

 After a lot of busy work, I 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?” My uncle had some questions.

Although there are not many families in the mountain village of Panshiling, there are not even a single left-behind family.

The fields beside the village entrance road are not cultivated. They are overgrown with weeds and no crops can be seen. Various details show that Panshiling is no longer inhabited.

With these 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 had stayed 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 in a while.

However, seeing his uncle's courage, Jiang Yue decided to tell his sister-in-law alone.

Three dogs were about to speak but stopped when Jiang Yue glared at them. He 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 surrounding 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 sad.

“Second brother, that old bastard Zhao Shouyin killed these people in our village. Even if the ghost is destroyed, 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.

 Hundred ghosts were walking at night that day, 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 to 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 of them followed the traces and came to the cave.

The two of them stayed at the entrance of the cave for a while. Jiang Yueer used all his strength 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 the remains of burnt candles in the four corners of the cave. The candle wax dripped on the cave floor, leaving obvious evidence.

The magic circle in the middle of the cave, with its weird graphics and weird array ornaments, is exactly the same as it was back then, and it looks weird and ferocious.

 Around the circle, more than a dozen corpses had rotted, exuding a suffocating rotten odor.

There was a pool of blood next to each corpse, but it had 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 trembling with anger. Although these corpses were rotting, 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.

“Three dogs, find more firewood and burn them all.”

 With so many corpses, digging deep pits and burying them required tools, but they did not carry these tools.

 Burning is probably 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 any change in these corpses at present, no one can guarantee that something unexpected will happen in this strange era.

It is not completely impossible if this cave touches some spiritual power of heaven and earth and causes these corpses to mutate.

My sister-in-law and her family should always live in Panshiling, try to nip 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 all the ferocious beasts within a hundred miles.

 After a round of inspection in the back mountain, I didn’t find much potential risk.

Jiang Yue stood on the hillside and looked far away from the village. He walked out of the village road and walked nine miles towards Dajin Mountain, where he found Jiuli Pavilion.

Jiuli Pavilion has to go through several twists and turns, but you can't see it from the angle of the back mountain.

Thinking of the broken beams of Jiuli Pavilion and the broken spine of the Suzaku, Jiang Yue felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

Zhao Shouyin has done many evil things and has been 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 like a broken vermillion bird's spine was definitely not the result of Zhao Shouyin's evildoing.

 The Feng Shui aura of Dajinshan cannot be that small.

 It is said from ancient times that the peaks of the Great Jinshan Mountains are related to the fortune of the entire Star City. It is precisely because there is such a missing mountain in the south that it is a fly in the ointment.

 Therefore, practice Jiuli Pavilion to supplement the situation.

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.

Jiuliting undoubtedly has obvious flaws in terms of situation.

Now that the beam is interrupted, from a Feng Shui perspective, this defect will undoubtedly be magnified infinitely.

“Second brother, I wonder how Jiuliting is doing now?”

Jiang Yue is 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 believe even more deeply in the rumors that Jiuli Pavilion is 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.

 Hundred ghosts of Jiuli Pavilion pulled the strings, which more or less shook the foundation of Jiuli Pavilion.

I recall that day during the battle at Jiuli Pavilion, when hundreds of ghosts moved the mountain, and the strange 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, the momentum of Jiuli Pavilion was obviously more sluggish, and the broken spine was obviously depressed a lot.

 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?

Hurryly replacing a beam is an act of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, and may not help.

 “Let’s go 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?”

Three dogs were startled and looked towards the pavilion.

“No? Second brother, have you seen someone? It can’t be...”

Three Gou has a timid character. Instead of being afraid, he quickens his pace and trots towards the pavilion.

Jiang Yuesheng was afraid that something might be wrong, so he quickly followed up.

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 wrong? The shadows appearing in this ghost place are probably not people, right?” The three dogs said in a confused voice.

Jiang Yue frowned and said nothing, instead looking around the pavilion.

With his current eyesight, there is absolutely no way he could see it wrong. Just now, a back figure clearly flashed past the pavilion and disappeared into the blind spot of vision.

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?"

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 a trick 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 immediately became angry and felt that he was being teased.

  jumping around and cursing.

"oops!"

 Sangou’s hand touched the back of his head again.

This time it is not a touch, but a solid brain collapse, commonly known as stir-fried hairy chestnuts.

This time Sangou could not doubt 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?

 They are not evil spirits, are they people?

 If it 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 how far away from where they were, one or two hundred meters.

 You gave Sangou a stir-fried chestnut one second, and ran to the forest the next? 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 him.

“Keep your mouth clean,” Jiang Yue scolded.

 Going to Dajinshan is no joke.

The people 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.
