Watching the deserted village in Beiyu gradually take shape in front of us, the rows of old houses are exceptionally neat, and from a distance, they look majestic.
The only pity is that every house is very dilapidated. Except for the stone frame, all the doors and windows are missing. At first glance, it looks lifeless. You don't need to think too much to know that it is a deserted village.
Many houses are covered with vines. If you look carefully, they are green and it is a nice sight.
As the sun slowly rose, there was more and more sunlight, and a rainbow actually hung over the village.
Nangong Fancong sighed and said, "If we weren't here to solve the case, I might have regarded this deserted mountain ghost village as a paradise."
I said, me too.
Nangong Fancong snorted and said with a sneer: "Can you express some constructive opinions? Ask questions every day, or just nod and say 'hmm', or say 'me too', what else can you do?"
?"
I said with some embarrassment: "How about we go to the village first and check it out. There should be no clues about the Jade Emperor Temple."
Nangong Fancong did not continue to hurt me, but nodded.
We walked along a path next to the Jade Emperor Temple into the green mountains. The entrance to the path was exactly where the ghost team disappeared last night. Obviously, the ghost team last night also entered Beiyu Desert Village.
This path is very rugged. It was just a dirt road at the beginning, which was a little slippery because of the recent rain. But after walking for a few minutes, it turned into a bluestone path, and the bluestones were extremely smooth. Walking on it felt like walking on a
Like a trail in the park.
If the entrance with the stone monument is the front door of the village, then where we are now is the back door of the village.
As I got closer to these stone houses, I felt that these stone houses could no longer be described as broken. They were already crumbling. Many of the stone walls were crooked. However, although those walls were crooked, none of them were
Fallen.
In addition, the yin energy in this village is so strong that I couldn't help but get goosebumps as soon as I entered the village.
I took a deep breath, and then used my breath to explore the several old stone houses in front of us.
After some investigation, I found that except for the strong yin energy in these houses, there were no active ghosts.
After entering the village, Nangong Fan and I became vigilant. I took out the dagger and established contact with the snack, ready to call it out for help at any time.
Nangong Fanxong directly used the Xingyu Bow, and a long blue arrow was attached to the bowstring. It seemed that she was ready to attack at any time.
After walking a few steps into the village, I started to feel less afraid, because we checked almost a third of the houses in the village, and not a single house was haunted.
So I was about to tell Nangong Fanzong whether to speed up the search, but before I could say anything, a little girl appeared at the intersection in front of us. She was standing there in ancient costume, and then
Staring at me blankly.
My hair stood up at the sight of her.
But my momentum was not weak now, and soon the feeling of horror was suppressed by me. I looked at the little girl and said, "Who are you!"
As soon as I finished asking, the little girl suddenly turned around and disappeared around the corner of a street. Nangong Fancong and I quickly ran to that street corner.
I looked along the street where the little girl turned and saw that she had disappeared.
Nangong Fanxong's eyes instantly glowed with blue light, and she immediately started to use the Eye of the Galaxy. After she opened the Eye of the Galaxy, she walked in front, and I followed behind.
After turning a few more corners, we arrived in front of a stone courtyard. This stone courtyard is the largest courtyard in Beiyu Village. Judging from the scale of the courtyard, this stone courtyard is divided into three entrances. The first entrance is the main house and the second entrance.
East and West rooms.
We entered the first yard and searched, but found nothing.
All the houses are empty, without even the most basic furnishings, and are exactly the same as other dilapidated houses in the village.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but think, if something happened to the people in the village suddenly, then the furnishings in their homes should not disappear. Even if they were damaged over time, some traces should be left.
Yes, but there is not even the slightest sign that anything has been furnished in any of the houses in this village.
Could it be that before the accident, these people moved all the things from home and moved them cleanly? This does not make sense. Even if the people in the village had a premonition of danger and wanted to escape, they would only take some valuables with them.
It’s impossible to move all the things, including the furniture, right?
Thinking of this, I told Nangong Fancong the doubts in my heart.
She also nodded and said: "Yes, unless something happened to this village, other people came and these people emptied the village, but it is unlikely. Since this village has become a ghost village,
I’m afraid the people who come here won’t be able to move everything away so easily, there’s something really fishy about this.”
With that said, Nangong Fancong led me through the first courtyard to the second courtyard. There was a house on the left side of the passage to the second courtyard. There was a stone stove in it, but it was not big.
All the pots and kitchen utensils disappeared, and the stove was dark, which showed that many people in this yard were cooking here.
After passing through the corridor, we arrived at the second courtyard.
When we entered the yard the second time, we found that there were much fewer weeds than the yard we entered the first time. The rooms here still had no furnishings and no ghosts.
The second entrance to the courtyard and the third entrance to the courtyard are a very narrow passage. Only two people can walk side by side. If you want to carry some larger objects, you can't pass through here, which is too inconvenient.
When we entered the third courtyard, we discovered that the innermost part of the courtyard is a back door, which leads directly to another street. No wonder the aisle is so narrow. It turns out there is a back door here!
The third courtyard was still empty. We walked around in it and gained nothing.
I asked Nangong Fanzong: "Did the little girl just enter this courtyard?"
Nangong Fancong said: "I was here just now, but now I'm gone. I used the Eye of the Galaxy to lose me. That little thing is probably integrated with the Yin Qi here. Her hidden magical powers are also powerful. If she stays here...
If she doesn't move in one place, I will never be able to detect her from a hundred meters away."
"In other words, that little thing is no longer within a hundred meters of us."
It turned out that we had lost track of her, and I suddenly felt a little frustrated. If we "caught" the little girl, we might be able to ask her directly about the situation in this deserted village in the north.
When we came up with the case in Beiyu Deserted Village, we naturally wanted to clear out all the ghosts in the village and turn it into a natural deserted village with no more threats, so I regarded that little girl as my first target.
Nangong Fancong continued: "The little girl just took me around the village. Except for these three courtyards, she never entered a house, so there must be something special here. Let's look for it more carefully.
"
I asked Nangong Fanzong: "Do you mean that the little girl is deliberately giving us hints and helping us?"
Nangong Fanxong said: "It's possible!"
I asked back: "What if it's not that she deliberately brought us in just because this is a trap and she wants to harm us?"
Nangong Fancong frowned, and then looked at the sky a few times. I also looked into the sky. When I looked up, I found that the rainbow that was originally hanging in the sky slowly disappeared, and then the sunlight also disappeared.
, the originally sunny sky suddenly became gloomy again.
"Crack!"
In an instant, there was a bright flash in the sky. The lightning pierced the sky and scared me straight away.
Nangong Fancong bent his bow and arrow, and pointed the long arrow directly into the sky.
I asked curiously: "What are you doing? Hou Yi shot the sun, and you want to shoot thunder?"
Nangong Fanzong glared at me and said: "Shut up, what do you know? There is something on that thunder and lightning, something big!"
Seeing Nangong Fancong's nervous expression, I was also frightened. What could be above the thunder and lightning? I raised my head to look at the sky.
"Rumble..."
There was a rapid thunder, and I couldn't see anything in the dark sky.
I asked Nangong Fan in a low voice where that thing was.
Nangong Fancong said: "When it thunders later, look carefully, behind the thunder and lightning!"
As soon as Nangong Fancong finished speaking, another bright flash lit up in the sky, and the sky was filled with "clicking" twists and turns of thunder and lightning. I looked carefully behind the thunder and lightning, and there was really a huge blue shadow swimming around.
The thing is at least one-third the size of a village, and hundreds of times larger than the two-headed python I've seen!
When I saw that huge blue shadow, I couldn't close my mouth.
"Rumble..."
A few seconds after the bright flash disappeared, there was another burst of thunder. I suddenly felt a little scared. What on earth could be so big and could swim in the thunder and lightning? I only saw a huge blue
Shadow, but can't tell what it looks like.
The sound of thunder shook me out of my surprise. I looked at the black sky and asked Nangong Fancong: "Do you know what that big guy is?"
Nangong Fancong shook his head and said: "I don't know yet. There are many giant objects that can fly in the sky in this world. I can't say which one it is, but one thing can be confirmed. The yin energy on that thing is very heavy.
, it may not be a living thing, it may be a dead soul, ghost or something like that!”
I asked curiously: "Aren't dead souls and ghosts afraid of thunder and lightning? How dare they wander around in thunder and lightning!?"
Nangong Fan gave me a blank look and said, "Didn't you realize that the bright flash just now does not belong to our Yang Lei, but Yin Lei, the thunder belonging to the underworld?"
I asked curiously: "Is the underworld an independent space just like the upper world?"
Nangong Fancong said: "The underworld is a space, but it is not independent. It is closely connected with this world. If the underworld disappears, the space in this world will collapse. If the space in this world collapses, the underworld will collapse."
It will also disappear."
"Our upper realm is different. It is a completely independent space. Although it is related to this realm, the collapse of one realm will not cause the disappearance of the other realm."
Speaking of this, Nangong Fancong became a little anxious and said: "At this time, I still have the heart to tell you this. Let's leave this deserted village in Beiyu first. The two of us are not the match for that big guy!"
After saying that, Nangong Fanzong led me out of the back door of the courtyard.
"Crack!"
At this time, another bright flash lit up in the sky, and the shadow dancing in the thunder and lightning appeared again... (To be continued)
