Nangong Fancong drank all the tea in one gulp, not worrying at all that the tea contained the sinister poison she had mentioned before.
After Nangong Fanxong finished drinking, he smiled and said: "Good tea!"
The woman smiled and said, "It's not really good tea. This is all tea produced on our own tea mountain. It's ridiculous."
With that said, the woman asked Nangong Fan and I our names and where we were going when we passed by Beiyu Village.
Nangong Fanzong actually told the woman my and her names, and then said: "We are just traveling, walking around, there is no place we must go!"
After saying that, Nangong Fanxong paused for a moment and then asked the other person's name.
The woman said: "My name is Su Qi, and I am currently the owner of this house!"
I couldn't help but ask: "We passed the back door of this house just now and saw two carpenters working on it. Is there any new furniture that needs to be licked in the house?"
Su Qi smiled and said: "It turns out that you have already passed by the backyard. They are making longevity materials for me. It is our custom here that people who are over thirty should prepare longevity materials and shrouds for themselves in case of emergencies."
coffin!?
It is true that the elderly in some places have the habit of preparing coffins for themselves in advance, but that is something they only do when they are older. Is it too early to prepare coffins at the age of thirty?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but curiously asked: "Isn't thirty too early?"
Su Qi smiled and said: "It's nothing to be too early. This is the custom of our Beiyu Village. It has been passed down from generation to generation. Are you prepared?"
Nangong Fanxong and I looked at each other, and then Nangong Fanxong said: "Is there any other way to prepare materials for longevity at the age of thirty, or does it mean that people in the village are generally short-lived?"
Nangong Fanxong suddenly asked this, which shocked me. She asked so straightforwardly and offended people.
I quickly looked at Su Qi's expression. She was not angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "People in our village are not short-lived. There is no other way to prepare a coffin at the age of thirty. You are overthinking it."
When Su Qi said this, she pushed the cup of tea in front of me toward me and said, "Drink it while it's hot. When the tea gets cold, the taste will change."
I was a little embarrassed, but Nangong Fanzong said: "They are offering you such hospitality, how can you have the nerve to refuse?"
Helpless, I had no choice but to pick up the teacup and drink the cup of tea in one gulp.
A cold feeling went down my throat and into my stomach, and I couldn't help but shiver. This tea tasted almost like ice water, so Su Qi actually told me to drink it while it was still hot?
Seeing my appearance, Su Qi said: "You drank too fast, did you get burned?"
I said, not bad.
Su Qi smiled again and said: "If you two have no plans to rush to other places, you can stay in my house first. It will be my thirtieth birthday in three days. I hope you can stay and attend my birthday party."
Nangong Fancong nodded directly and agreed.
Su Qi also smiled, and then called the girl named Xiaohe over and asked her to arrange a room for us.
Xiaohe led us to the second courtyard. When we passed the passage leading to the second courtyard, I took a look into the kitchen. There were all kitchen utensils inside, and there were two people, a man and a woman.
Old man, they are preparing food.
When passing by, Xiao He introduced: "Those are Uncle Su and Aunt Su!"
Nangong Fan and I nodded to those two people, and they also smiled at us.
Xiao He arranged for Nangong Fan and I to stay in a guest room at the second entrance to the courtyard. I quickly said that the two of us would sleep in separate rooms. Xiao He was stunned for a moment, then arranged an extra room for us and said: "
I thought you were husband and wife."
Nangong Fancong sneered: "I'm not blind yet, how could I fall in love with him?"
After arranging a place for us, Xiao He was about to go to the kitchen to help. I stopped her and asked, "By the way, where is the male owner of this house?"
Hearing my question, Xiaohe was stunned for a moment and said: "There is no male master in this village!"
When he said this, Xiao He's expression became serious.
I curiously asked: "Aren't the two children in the front yard just now Miss Su Qi's children?"
Xiaohe said: "Of course it is!"
Nangong Fancong said: "This is strange. How can there be no male master if there is a child?"
Nangong Fanxong asked, and Xiaohe's expression became a little angry. After all, Xiaohe is also a ghost. I was afraid that she would suddenly go crazy, so I quickly changed the subject and said, "Can we have lunch with you?"
Xiaohe's expression improved slightly and she said, "What about lunch? I haven't eaten breakfast yet, so I'm just thinking about having lunch. You're such an interesting person."
Only then did I realize that it was still early morning.
At this time, Su Qi also led the two of them to the second courtyard.
I suddenly thought of the Jade Emperor Temple, and I wanted to ask Su Qi, but before I could say anything, Nangong Fancong directly asked Su Qi: "Who is the biological father of your two children? Why is he not in the house?"
meet him……"
This Nangong Fan is too reckless in doing things. Sometimes she is very thoughtful and can see many details that I don't see. But sometimes she is too reckless in doing things. It seems that she doesn't consider many details at all.
Just like now, Xiaohe's expression clearly tells us that this question is taboo, but she doesn't know how to avoid the topic for the time being and insists on not opening which pot.
But this may be Nangong Fanzong. Although she can see through all the problems, she doesn't know how to use tricks or make tricks. She just goes straight!
Hearing Nangong Fanxong's question, Su Qi was also startled for a moment, and then said: "The child's father is out and may come back on my birthday."
When I said this, I saw a hint of fierceness in Su Qi's eyes, and then I felt that Su Qi had been frightening the green ghost.
I couldn't help but wonder if the destruction of this village had anything to do with Su Qi.
I quickly asked again: "By the way, I forgot to ask, why is there no statue of God in the Jade Emperor Temple in the northeast of the village?"
When I asked this question, Su Qi's eyes became even more fierce, but she quickly controlled her anger, and then said softly: "There was a fire in the Jade Emperor Temple not long ago.
The statues inside were all wood carvings, so they were all burned down, but I have arranged for people from the village to rebuild the Jade Emperor Temple. The walls and the main temple will all be demolished and rebuilt."
I asked again where the dismantled bluestones had been transported.
Su Qi pointed to the south of the village and said: "There is a stage over there. All the bluestones removed from the Jade Emperor Temple were used to build the stage. There will be a big show on my birthday, and it will definitely be very lively."
The Jade Emperor Temple demolished the stage to repair it!?
Also, there was a fire in the original Jade Emperor Temple. Is this true? No, if there was a fire that burned the statue, then the red silk cloth on the statue should not have been burned.
What happened to the red silk cloth covering the little girl's bones?
We are getting more and more information from these ghosts, but we still can't connect all the things together, and we can't find the reason why this village became a ghost village.
Seeing that Nangong Fanxing and I were silent, Su Qi continued: "Okay, let's have breakfast together."
There is a room in the second courtyard specially used for dining. We entered the room and sat down, and Uncle Su and Aunt Su came over with food. It was just some vegetables and gruel, and a few steamed buns with sorghum noodles.
.
Nangong Fanxong and I only ate a few mouthfuls. After all, these are yin foods eaten by ghosts. If we eat too much, it will definitely be bad for our health.
After dinner, Su Qi did not entertain us anymore, but led the two children to the front yard, while Xiao He, Uncle Sub and Aunt Su stayed to clean up the dishes.
Nangong Fancong and I didn't stay here anymore, so we walked out of the Su's house through the back door. We were going to find Xiao Jia's father first.
When we passed the backyard, the two carpenters looked at us a few more times.
After leaving Su Zhai, Nangong Fanping suggested that we go to the stage to take a look. When we arrived at the stage, we saw a little girl standing on the empty stage. She was twisting her body, looking like an actress.
.
That little girl was the one who held the blue will-o'-the-wisp lantern that night.
It was also the little girl who led us into Su's house, and then the blue monster appeared, causing the village to become what it is now.
Thinking of this, I suddenly understood that the fact that this village became a ghost village should have nothing to do with Su Qi. She was just an ordinary part of the life of the whole village, similar to those tables and chairs, just "furnishings".
And the person who really uses and controls those furnishings is the little girl!
The entire village is under her control. She is an existence beyond the life of this village!
Thinking of this, I expressed my thoughts to Nangong Fan.
Nangong Fancong shook his head and said, "No, no, this little girl is different from the little girl who just led us into Su's house."
I asked what was different, why did it look exactly the same to me.
Nangong Fancong said: "Strength, the little girl before was so powerful that I was scared, just like a blue monster in the sky, but the little girl in front of us is barely a green ghost, her strength is as strong as before
Totally wrong."
Nangong Fan said it wasn't, but no matter how I looked at it, it seemed like it.
Nangong Fancong added: "It can be said that they are not the same person. Apart from their strength, they are exactly the same in other places. Their breath and everything are the same. Weird, weird!"
Nangong Fancong said that I was also confused.
The little girl twisted her body and stopped when she saw Nangong Fanxong and me. She looked at us coldly, with a ferocious expression on her face, as if she was angry that we disturbed her.
Seeing the ferocious look on her face, I couldn't help but feel cold in my heart, and suddenly I felt a yin energy wrapping around me.
I tried to resist, but Nangong Fancong held me back and said: "These Yin Qi can't hurt us. We are entangled with this Yin Qi, but it allows us to use the Yin objects here! Now we are just like
'Fake ghost' is almost the same."
"Fake ghost? What kind of fake ghost!" I asked Nangong Fancong out of curiosity.
Nangong Fanxong said: "That's what we are like now. Many monks want to mix with ghosts because of a case. They will wrap a layer of yin on themselves to let themselves exude the breath of ghosts, and then mix with the ghosts.
Get the news."
I'm curious if there is any harm in doing this.
Nangong Fanxong said: "There is no harm in a short time, but if it takes a long time, the fake ghost will become a real ghost."
I asked how long it would take.
Nangong Fanxong said: "Three days, probably the day after we attended Su Qi's birthday. But the two of us may persist a little longer. You have dragon insect Gu, and I am a member of the Shenmu tribe. We may
It can last for five or six days."
In other words, in five or six days, no matter whether we can solve this case or not, we must leave Beiyu Village, otherwise we will become a member of this place!
That little girl is the key to unlocking the mystery here, but how to use this key? (To be continued)
