My idol painting style is not right
Chapter 136 Yaojiagou
it's dangerous here
---
Probably frightened by this ghostly incident, Zhou Jie was trying to save face at the beginning, and she was unwilling to tell about her family's affairs. collapsed.
Over the years, the Zhou family has searched for many strange masters in order to survive. Some of them are real and some are fake. Even if they are real, they are just some small and capable masters.
Real masters of metaphysics, ordinary people like Zhou Jie’s family can’t be found, that is, after entering the entertainment circle, Zhou Jie was smart enough, and knew a little about metaphysics, and only met one or two people who are capable Even if it is so, is it? Most of them invited or raised some small things. This ghost encounter is the first time she has really experienced it, and she is more aware of the horror of those horrors, so Lin Yi was just a little scared , she told the matter.
The Zhou family that Zhou Jie lives in is just an ordinary family. If anything, their family members are extremely unlucky. No matter whether they are male or female, they have never lived past the age of thirty or so.
Also? So I know that if the Zhou family wants to get married, most of them are looking for foreigners. The locals know that the Zhou family's life is not good, and they don't want to marry his daughter, and they won't let their own daughter marry.
Zhou Jie's mother is a foreigner, and it was too late when she found out about this weird thing about the Zhou family, and most young people don't believe in these ghosts and ghosts. Mother didn't take these things to heart.
Until the series of things that happened later, perhaps because of the short life of the Zhou family, even if there were a few people with good abilities, they all died young, so the life of the Zhou family has not been good.
At first, it was a relative of the Zhou family who was fine the day before, but was gone when he was found the next day. The cause of death was a heart attack, and this relative had never heard of heart disease.
Later it was a cousin, who was only three years older than Zhou's father. He died in front of Zhou's mother. Walking on the road, he was run over by a sudden car, and died in a miserable state.
Maybe it was the death of this cousin that stimulated Zhou's father. He said the curse of the Zhou family under the collapse, and Zhou's mother knew about it. Even if she didn't believe it anymore, she just watched the people she knew The inexplicable death one by one makes people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.
That's why Zhou's mother knew why Zhou's family members got married very early, and some even got married and had children before the legal age of marriage.
Not long after this incident happened, Zhou's father disappeared, and Zhou's mother raised a pair of children by herself. She spent a lot of effort to find out what happened to Zhou's family, but it was useless.
As the Zhou family said, this is a curse, inexplicable but impossible to get rid of.The reason why Zhou Jie worked hard to enter the entertainment industry at a young age and exhausted all means to climb up the ladder was because she just wanted to get in touch with more powerful people and find out about their family members.
To be honest, it's not that the Zhou family doesn't really know everything. Even if there are almost no older people in the Zhou family because of their short life span, if they really want to investigate, they can still find out something.
In the end, the Zhou family only found out that all of this was related to their hometown. Unfortunately, it became a no-man's land because of an epidemic a few years ago, and the people around them didn't know about it. They only knew that something terrible happened there decades ago. Infectious disease, people in the whole village were sick and died, and the people around were talking about it. After a long time, there were some haunted rumors circulating around, and no one would go there.
Perhaps there were those who were unwilling or curious to investigate there, but unfortunately nothing was found, and it seemed to be an abandoned small village.
Zhou Jie said everything she knew, and only hoped that Yi Lin could help her.
The soft moonlight projected on the ground made the already beautiful woman even more feminine. Coupled with Zhou Jie's pitiful expression at this time, if it was a different person, the other party might agree to whatever she said, but the person she met today It's Lin Yi who is unreasonable, so all this work is done for the blind.
"When the scene is over, I? Go to your hometown with you." Lin Yi didn't agree or refuse.
He had a vague feeling, what happened to Zhou Jie? He had to intervene. For big demons like Lin Yi, their intuition was more like a warning from heaven. That's why Lin Yi spent so much effort to listen to Zhou Jie. Jie told me about the Zhou family?
This result made Zhou Jie a little disappointed. She thought Lin Yi was so powerful that she would be able to solve her problems immediately? She didn't expect to go back to her hometown, perhaps because of the curse on her body. She was extremely repulsed by her hometown, but missed Lin Yi. She didn't think she could find such a powerful master of metaphysics, so she agreed.
It just so happened that Lin Yi wanted to tell Li Rui that he was not sure when he would come back when he went out this time, and he had to settle his own affairs to prevent accidents.
Fortunately, Li Rui's arrangements for Lin Yi have always been seeking quality rather than quantity. Coupled with the strong fan base behind Yi Lin, Li Rui is very cautious in choosing Lin Yi's job, and other things are not important right now. , only one high-end endorsement is Gao Gao? It won, and it needs to be shot recently.
Before coordinating with the other party, Li Rui still scolded Lin Yi once. Every time, because of strange things? It was hotly searched. After a long time, even if it was not a hype, the impression on passersby was not good. This time, Li Rui strongly asked Lin Yi to be cautious before doing anything in the future.
This is also the reason why he has been fed up with those weird film appointments recently. Some unknown people handed over some ghostly scripts, and even some people in the industry asked Lin Yi if he was really a master of metaphysics. , and a well-known director said that he was very interested in this. If Lin Yi really had the ability in this area, he planned to prepare a script, which made Li Rui very angry.
It’s not that metaphysics is bad, it’s just that under today’s mainstream concepts, such things are subtly suppressed. If Lin Yi wants to become an outstanding actor or star, some things can be hyped but cannot be made into an artist Tag of.
Lin Yi's attitude of admitting his mistakes was very good. When he came back this time, he also found that some people in the company looked at him strangely. With his sharp eyes and ears, he naturally heard some people's private discussions. He understood that Li Rui was doing it for his own good, so he obediently Said that he will be careful in the future.
……
A few decades ago, Yaojiagou was just an ordinary village. Later, because of the epidemic, hundreds of people in the village disappeared. Perhaps it was because of the epidemic, or maybe it was people’s resistance to it from the bottom of their hearts. For decades, Originally a peaceful small village, because there were no people, it gradually became dilapidated.
People in the neighborhood are very jealous of Yaojiagou. If any child is disobedient, some adults will scare him, and if he is disobedient, he will be thrown into the ditch of the dead. Those naughty children will not dare to make trouble immediately. This shows that The reputation of Yaojiagou.
Perhaps because of the lack of people, Yaojiagou can no longer be seen as a village from the outside. There are tangled and luxuriant vegetation everywhere, covering the entire Yaojiagou in a messy manner.
The geographical location of Yaojiagou is not very good. It is slightly lower than other places. Fortunately, there is an unnamed mountain behind it. There have been no people for decades. The entire Yaojiagou has been integrated with the nearby vegetation. Few young people know that this place was also a village in the early years, and most people nearby called it Dead People's Ditch.
"Master Lin, can you see anything?" Standing here, Zhou Jie felt a chill creeping into her bones. Even though the sun was high, she felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
Lin Yi ignored her, since he came here, he saw a black and red thread appearing on Zhou Jie's body, tightly entangled with this dead land.
This time, in order to find the location of Zhou Jie's hometown, they spent a lot of effort. They finally came to the vicinity, and they couldn't even find someone to lead the way.There is no way that Yaojiagou’s reputation is too fierce. It is said that because too many people died here, people will bump into ghosts from time to time. Everyone is afraid of this place, how can anyone want to come.
In addition, the geographical location of Yaojiagou is not good, so no one is free to develop here, so it is not easy to go in and check it?.
Looking at the village in front of me that has been integrated with the nearby vegetation, it seems that there is no difference at first glance. If you look closely, you will find that the plants here are very strange. If someone dares to go in and observe deeply, you will find that some vegetation has faintly turned into human shapes, with brains and limbs. It is complete, if you accidentally see it, it will definitely be scary.
In addition, the plants here seem to be the same as those around them, but they have actually changed a lot, as if they have mutated. What should have been short grasses turned into tall, big shrubs similar to trees. The very tall trees I found were only two meters high. Besides, there were almost no insects or birds in such a large area of vegetation.
These are things that ordinary people can see through careful observation. If someone who is proficient in metaphysics comes over, they may be able to see that this place has a faint tendency to form a place for gathering yin, and the dead yin qi nearby far exceeds other places.
However, in Lin Yi's view, these are just small problems. The real problem is that the entire Yaojiagou is located. The space and time are all disordered. Anyone who gets close to this place will be affected by this powerful and ferocious aura, ranging from impetuous to arousing all kinds of negative emotions in the bottom of their hearts.
The universe in all directions is in chaos, entangled with resentment, suffocation, death, and yin, imprisoning the entire Yaojiagou. The dead energy here, the entanglement of Yin Qi can't really form an independent space, so that Yaojiagou can't really leave here, some unlucky people or people with low luck will accidentally enter another world through Yaojiagou.
Seeing that the situation in Yaojiagou was far more terrifying and complicated than he thought, Lin Yi simply called the former minister and explained the situation in Yaojiagou.
The original minister was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, he felt a sense of relief, "Actually, I? I planned to tell you in a few days. Chu Zhan had a mission before and lost contact half a month ago. Where did he go?" The best places are Yao, Jia, and Gou.”
The last three words were squeezed out almost word for word. His emotions towards the former minister there were very complicated. There were both fear and hatred, as well as some vague expectations. Even he himself couldn't tell what he was looking forward to. , perhaps hoping to see the master again, even if it's just a soul.
"It's very dangerous there." Minister Yuan gasped, with complicated emotions in his heart. What is the meaning of Chu Zhan's mission this time? He is also paying attention here, he doesn't know where the vitality of that hexagram is, and his intuition tells him that it is on Lin Yi, but with Chu Zhan disappearing, Lin Yi is filming in the film crew, there is no connection between the two, so it is impossible Don't give up, start looking for how to find Chu Zhan.
The mission this time is far more dangerous than other times, so the preparations are very adequate. Even if Chu Zhan disappeared at first, they can still know that Chu Zhan is fine. The connection between people disappeared inexplicably, there was no news, no matter whether it was prepared technological means or metaphysical means, there was no response. It seemed that those few people just disappeared into the world.
Busy with this matter, and not knowing how to tell Lin Yi about it, the original minister did not tell the other party. Unexpectedly, when he was so devastated and almost gave up on Yaojiagou, Lin Yi actually told him that he There, Yaojiagou has formed an independent world.
For a while, the former minister didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. Half a month of busy work made him lose weight. At first, the bureau sent two more people to Yaojiagou. The individual also disappeared inexplicably. For this reason, the bureau dared not send any more people there, and several elders also quarreled.
There is hope to continue to find a way, regardless of life or death, to find out what happened to Yaojiagou? Also, there is hope that the bureau will re-seal the Yaojiagou incident. After all, the whole bureau is really as strong as Chu Zhan There are not many, and it would be painful enough to fold in or lose one. If there are more, they simply cannot afford it, not to mention that soon there will be a friendly match between Huaguo and foreign spirit forces. If there is no arrangement at that time , is a huge loss to the entire Hua Country.
Those who knew about the Yaojiagou incident were all old people in the bureau. Each of these people was like a magic needle in the sea.
It is important to find the missing person, but it is even more important to maintain the stability of the Special Investigation Bureau. Over the years, Huaguo has grown a little bit internationally. Although there are reasons for the rapid development of science and technology, but in places where no one sees, the battles in the mystical world Also? It has never stopped. The vampires, werewolves, and paladins of country m, the onmyojis of country r, and the black and white witches of country t, these existences have never given up on the fertile and mysterious land of Hua Country.
The original minister himself didn't know whether he should let Lin Yi continue to investigate, or just let him come back, but Lin Yi obviously didn't mean to keep silent with him, "Pass all the information about Yaojiagou, and find out who left Yaojiagou when he left Yaojiagou. The descendants of the people in the ditch, and the rest don’t care.”
After Lin Yi hung up the phone, he put away the smile that had been hanging on his face all the time, and became indifferent and mysterious. Zhou Jie, who wanted to talk at first, was too scared to say a word when he saw Yi Lin like this.
"Leave first, this place is very dangerous." Lin Yi said to Zhou Jie, and walked towards Yaojiagou without waiting for the other party's reaction.
