The three people agreed on a plan and did not enter the village. They took a country road to the south of the village, stepped on the afterglow of the setting sun, bypassed the village, and walked towards the uninhabited abandoned courtyard to the west of the village.
Because they were unfamiliar with the place, the three of them finally found the small courtyard after it became completely dark.
To the west of Xiaozhou Village, the nearest home is two miles away.
In front of the yard is an overgrown wasteland. There are two large locust trees in front of the door. It seems that the locust trees are old and have not been taken care of for many years. The thick locust tree branches extend very long, and the white locust flowers are in bud at the moment.
Waiting to be released, very gratifying.
Standing in front of this abandoned yard, Ye Xiaochuan looked at the two large locust trees and said, "I want to ask you two, do you think there is something strange here?"
Yang Ling'er said: "What's weird?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "I can't tell you, but I always feel that this abandoned yard is a little unusual."
Baili Yuan said: "Just create an atmosphere of terror. Let's go in and have a look. If it's really too dilapidated to live in, we'll fly to the town and stay in a big inn."
Ye Xiaochuan snapped his fingers and nodded in agreement.
It's more like a house than a yard, and it should be quite large.
The appearance of such a large-scale house in such a wilderness should be the ancestral home of a dignitary or a wealthy landowner.
The walls were covered with weeds and vines and had been abandoned for at least a hundred years. The door, which was originally quite grand, was now in a state of decay.
Ye Xiaochuan pushed aside the vines on the door and was about to try to see if he could push the door open. Suddenly, he found that the door was wrapped with a black iron chain as thick as an arm, and there was a big lock hanging on it.
Ye Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment.
But who was he? He didn't draw the blade out of his sheath. He only saw a flash of green light, and the thick iron chain broke immediately.
The squeaking sound of the iron chain slipping from the rusty door knocker made people's teeth sore, just like the grinding sound of ghosts gnawing at bones in the dark.
Ye Xiaochuan stretched out his hand to push the door open, but it turned out that the door had not been opened for many years. With a strong force on his hand, a rotten wooden door was pushed directly inwards by Ye Xiaochuan.
There was a loud bang, and the collapsed wooden door was immediately shattered into pieces, sending dust flying into the air.
All three of them were startled by the sudden fall of the wooden door.
Ye Xiaochuan turned to Bailiyuan and said, "It's not my fault, I didn't use any force!"
One of the two wooden doors was pushed down, and only one was closed alone.
The fallen wooden door was like a devil's mouth, and a sinister wind blew out from the yard. Ye Xiaochuan, who was standing in front of the gap in the door, was a little creeped out by the sudden sinister wind, which seemed to make every hair on his body stand on end.
They all stood upright.
He couldn't help but shuddered and murmured: "What a heavy Yin energy."
Under the moonlight, you can see that behind the door is a rather large yard of the front house. But strangely, the outer walls of the yard and the wasteland outside the yard are covered with withered grass, but the yard is completely bare.
.
It turned out to be a land barren of grass!
It seems that this dilapidated courtyard is incompatible with the outside world and does not belong to the same time and space.
At this time, Baili Yuan and Yang Ling'er also felt that there was something strange in this yard.
Baili Yuan looked up and saw a semi-dirty plaque hanging on the door frame. The plaque was covered with vines and it was difficult to see what was written on the plaque.
Baili Yuan nuzzled at Ye Xiaochuan. Ye Xiaochuan stood under the plaque, raised his head and glanced up. With a wave of his hand, a green sword energy passed by, and the plaque fell down.
He rubbed off a layer of vines with his feet, revealing two large characters that had been seriously eroded by time and wind and frost on the dilapidated plaque.
Ye Xiaochuan and the other three were able to see clearly the two words above through the moonlight, and everyone's expressions suddenly became quite strange.
It turns out that the two words engraved on the plaque are called.
"Yizhuang?"
Ye Xiaochuan sighed, spit, and said: "Now I finally understand where the strange feeling came from. No one would plant two large locust trees that are hundreds of years old in front of their house. The locust trees are shade trees.
, the ghost in the wood is also suitable for building coffins, and the yin energy is very strong. It turns out that this place was originally a charity village, which makes sense."
Baili Yuan nodded, walked to the door, took a look at the yard, and said: "The Yin Qi here is so strong, not even a blade of grass grows in the yard. It seems that the place has been banned by an expert to prevent the Yin Qi from leaking out. It is estimated that there is a hundred miles radius.
All the Yin Qi is gathered in this inconspicuous little courtyard."
Ye Xiaochuan is a cultivator. He has seen the Yin soldiers borrowing the passage last night, so naturally he will not be afraid of Yizhuang where the bones of the dead are stored.
He said: "Isn't this strange? Haven't you seen the terrain around here? There are two rivers in the east, low hillsides in the west and south, and branches of the Huai River in the south and north. This is where the Three Yins gather in a hundred miles radius.
In this land, a steady stream of Yin Qi gathers here from the southeast. Baili, do you see anything?"
Ye Xiaochuan originally came from Taoism, and his knowledge of Yin Yang, Qian Kun and Taoism was not very good, but he could still tell it through simple Feng Shui. He had gradually figured out that there might be something hidden in the presence of such a dilapidated big house in this place.
The true method of Liuyun Valley that Baili Yuan learned is actually mainly Buddhism and Taoism, and some of it is integrated with the true method of Taoism. However, Liuyun Valley has become its own system for thousands of years, and it is not suitable for Taoist Feng Shui. Tiekou
Very little is known about the direct magic.
Ye Xiaochuan asked her if she saw anything, but she just turned her head away in confusion.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ling'er suddenly frowned and said: "To the southeast, it seems to be Zhuxian Town. Ye Shaoxia, do you mean that someone has set up a weird spirit gathering array here to capture the ghostly energy released when the ghost gate of Zhuxian Town is opened?
?”
Ye Xiaochuan grinned and said: "It's very possible. It's probably an expert from the Demon Sect who once fought against the autumn wind here. The Yin and Yang Road in Zhuxian Town is jointly controlled by the Xumi Mountain Kayaba Temple and the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Dao.
Those who want to directly absorb Yin spirits like those young demon sect disciples did last night will probably be killed by the masters of Kasyapa Temple and Tianshi Tao. They are dozens of miles away from Zhuxian Town and cleverly laid out through the terrain and leylines.
In the Giant Spirit Array, when the gate of hell opens three times a year, every trace of the ghostly aura will be absorbed here."
Baili Yuan said incredulously: "The distance is dozens of miles, how much can it absorb?"
Ye Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "The distance is a bit far, but it is very safe. The ghost energy of the netherworld does not belong to the human world. It is the Yin power of the netherworld and ghost world that is released from the black whirlpool when the gate of hell is opened. This is better than those who are dumbfounded.
The Yin Spirit is much more nutritious. If you absorb a little each time, three times a year, the benefits will be considerable."
Baili Yuan still didn't believe it and said: "You brat, stop bragging here. What kind of ghosts and magic do you know at such a young age? What's more, you haven't even taken a step into this yard. How did you know that this place was occupied by someone?"
A profound spiritual gathering array laid out?"
Of course Ye Xiaochuan doesn't know, but someone does.
Baili Yuan and Yang Ling'er never thought that in Ye Xiaochuan's sea of souls, there actually lived a remnant soul with only one soul, the sword god Situ Feng.
