After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld
Chapter 48 Stickman
Lu Yingjiu still didn't keep vigil in the end.
Because Ye Feng's thinking was directly broken by him, and he couldn't sleep at all.He sat on a rotten chair, his eyes lost his mind, and he kept mumbling: "How could this be, how could this be... I can't sleep at all tonight."
Lu Yingjiu stood beside him and said, "Actually, we're not really together..."
"Impossible." Ye Feng murmured, "I should have noticed earlier, you have been sticking together like glue, ears and temples rubbing eyebrows and eyes, 502 is not as strong as you. I am blind, I didn't see it. It's my slow reaction, I thought you were like a juicy Chinese cabbage before, but I didn't wake up."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
Ye Feng said again: "I'm stupid. Going out to catch ghosts is like a honeymoon on a spring outing. Just come to a middle school class teacher and just take a look. You don't have to hesitate. He can immediately catch you two out with puppy love and invite your parents to write Review."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
Ye Feng: "Lu Yingjiu, Lu Yingjiu, why did you bend all of a sudden? My brother and I have been dreaming about the glamorous female ghost for so many years, and I've been waiting to see the extremely hot girl with protruding front and back. , turned into a man? Although I know you like dogtail grass, you can't be the same as dogtail grass, and you will fall down as soon as Jing Xian's evil wind blows."
Lu Yingjiu supported his forehead and said, "I've already said that we're not really together, and I'm still working on my mental health."
"Ah yes," Ye Feng nodded, "yes, you should do some psychological construction. This kiss has been kissed before, so the next step is to do it with real guns." He suddenly became nervous, "Then What will happen if you two sleep together tonight when I keep watch?"
"Nothing will happen." Lu Yingjiu said.
"That's good." Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "The sound insulation of this rotten room is very poor, and the floor will creak and creak when you move it. If you try harder, the whole thing may collapse."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
He didn't even dare to ask what scene Ye Feng was imagining.
Ye Feng said again: "Didn't you say that he is that 'big dog', just your childhood playmate."
"He used a false identity," Lu Yingjiu explained, "that's when he wanted to contact me at the beginning, he wanted to use a... more ordinary identity." The cabbage was eaten by a dog," Ye Feng said, "So you really want to keep vigil?"
Ye Feng shook his hand weakly: "Yes, I don't need to sleep tonight. Sacrificing one of me will allow you to have children and grandchildren early, and create thousands of little roads and little respects."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
Ye Feng was already talking nonsense.
Ye Feng said that if he didn't sleep, he really wouldn't sleep.Seeing Ye Feng moving a chair and sitting by the fire outside the house, ready to watch the night, Lu Yingjiu entered the room.
The sleeping bags were not big enough, and the rest of the people either slept against the wall or made do with the broken beds.Red Clothes insisted on giving Lu Yingjiu the sleeping bag she brought.
The two girls squeezed into a room, and Aaron, Hong Yi and their friends stayed together.
Ah Mei couldn't stay with others, so she stayed with Ye Feng, who was watching the night, moved a table, covered her with a coat, and lay down on the table to sleep.Xiao Li also ran out to watch the night with Ye Feng - he has learned a lot from Ye Feng in the past few days, and admires him very much, mainly because he still wants to hear the story of Li Snake.
Before going to bed, Lu Yingjiu carefully pasted talisman papers on each wooden house before returning to the house with peace of mind.
The bed in this dilapidated house was completely rotten, unable to sleep anyone, and only a small table and chair were usable.Jing Xian had already helped him pack his sleeping bag, sat at the table, and lit a short candle.
Lu Yingjiu vaguely felt that it was like a candle for a candlelight dinner.
He was a little suspicious that Jing Xian wanted to create a romantic atmosphere, but he had no evidence.
Lu Yingjiu paused at the door for a few seconds.
It's okay to be with Ye Feng just now, and now seeing Jing Xian again, his head is also quite messed up.
Jing Xian was full of anticipation: "Go to sleep, I've made a sleeping bag for you, it's getting late."
Lu Yingjiu looked at the sleeping bag, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a trap.
"Where do you sleep?" he asked.
Jing Xian pointed to the books on the table and said, "I don't need to sleep, I just read to pass the time at night."
It does sound reasonable.
After all, with Jing Xian's night vision ability, he can see clearly without turning on the lights.Lu Yingjiu had never seen a nearsighted or farsighted ghost.
It was indeed getting late, Lu Yingjiu wanted to go to bed early, otherwise he would be upset by Jing Xian's side.
——Although Chief Lu has many admirers, he has devoted himself to exorcising ghosts for 26 years, and the few female hands he has touched are all clients.What Jing Xian said really had a great impact on him, he opened and closed his eyes, it was just that scene.
So he got into the sleeping bag, and the floor really creaked as Ye Feng said.
Just halfway through the drill, he suddenly heard Jing Xian say expectantly: "Ah, it's so cold in this mountain."
Lu Yingjiu:?
For a while, he didn't understand what Jing Xian wanted to express.
Jing Xian said again: "It's so boring to leave me alone in the long night."
Lu Yingjiu:? ?
He began to wake up: "What are you going to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to leave something for me to savor for a few hours." Jing Xian looked at him expectantly, "So can we kiss again?"
Lu Yingjiu:? ? ?
Lu Yingjiu: "No! You were apologizing to me an hour ago, saying that you were impulsive, why are you starting again now?"
Jing Xian: "Isn't this impulsive again..."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
He burrowed into the sleeping bag: "No. You should be caught as a hooligan, and the ghost world doesn't care about it?"
Jing Xianxin said, I have the final say on the entire ghost world, so it really doesn't matter.
He said: "We have been a legal couple for a long time, how could we care about it. I have already disclosed my marital status."
Lu Yingjiu knew this.
But now he suddenly realized that Jing Xian was not what he imagined, he was a pitiful priest.Doesn't he have many friends?
He asked, "How many priests have you told?"
Jing Xian replied: "Basically, you know everything."
Lu Yingjiu's eyebrows twitched: "How much is 'all'?"
Jing Xian said: "I put your portrait in my palace, and all the priests who came in have seen it."
Lu Yingjiu:? ? ?
He was completely awake now, and wanted to sit up for a moment, but was pushed back by the sleeping bag.
He stammered a bit: "You, you show me that portrait. Do you take it?"
"Of course I bring it." Jing Xian said, "I brought it with me when I came to Yangjian."
He started digging and digging in that magical little backpack again, and sure enough, he took out a scroll of paintings.
The painting looked expensive, like some kind of precious scroll in ancient times. The scroll was golden, inlaid with a few small gemstones, and there was a red tassel at the bottom.The paper is thick and white, and it feels like delicate skin.
Lu Yingjiu leaned half of her body out of her sleeping bag, propped herself up to see——
Jing Xian unfolded the scroll carefully.
I saw the gorgeous picture scroll unfolding slowly, and the faint fragrance filled the room.
Then a stickman appeared.
Lu Yingjiu:? ? ?
That man is literally a stickman, with a simple and crude five-line body, but with a bit of thought on his head, he managed to draw the messy hair and crooked facial features—the eyes are still in the shape of a crooked half-moon, and The "funny" emoji has the same effect.
This stickman was drawn with a brush, with thick ink all over his body, standing domineeringly in the center of the scroll.
Quite a bit of arrogance to the crowd.
In this way, for 13 years, in the middle of the luxurious wall carved with dragons and phoenixes, countless priests looked down upon them.
"How is it?" Jingxian's face was full of familiar invitations for credit, "Is the painting beautiful?"
Lu Yingjiu: "...you just hung a stick figure in your palace for more than ten years?"
"How can you call it a stickman?" Jing Xian said, "This is obviously you. The last priest who dared to call it that was sent to the eighteenth floor of hell by me on a business trip."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
His mind is full of: Faint Lord! !
Jing Xian put the scroll in front of his eyes again: "Isn't it beautiful! I drew this with my own hands!"
Lu Yingjiu supported his forehead: "I don't look so shocking and abstract..."
He thought to himself, no wonder Jing Xian told so many priests that the priests who invited the gods to come to Yangjian did not show any intention of knowing him.
It's a miracle to be able to recognize it when it's painted like this ghost!I don't know what the group of priests thought when they saw it.
And looking at Jing Xian's expression, he probably sincerely thinks this painting is beautiful.
Jing Xian's artistic aesthetics are worrying, and he is full of artistic bacteria.
Lu Yingjiu felt his temples throbbing and said, "Don't hang this thing back up again."
"Then how can I do it?" Jing Xian said, "There are still many ghosts who haven't seen it yet."
"Don't, don't, don't." Lu Yingjiu had a headache, "Don't."
"Alright." Jing Xian immediately changed his words, "Then let's kiss, I won't hang up after kissing."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
He didn't expect the topic to come back again.
He slipped into the sleeping bag and said, "No kiss. Turn off the lights, I want to sleep."
Jing Xian: "Really not..."
"No kiss, no kiss." Lu Yingjiu said, "I'm angry."
"Didn't you just say you weren't angry?"
"The more you think about it, the angrier you get." Lu Yingjiu closed her eyes.
Jing Xian: "..."
It was only then that he extinguished the flame of the talisman paper with regret, and carefully put away his stunning masterpiece, thinking that he would draw a few more for Lu Yingjiu in the future.
The surroundings finally quieted down.
I don't know if it's because I was tired from walking the mountain road, or because Jing Xian was confused all of a sudden, but Lu Yingjiu slept unexpectedly deeply this time.
When I woke up, it was already seven o'clock in the morning, and the roof was dripping with rain, and the mountain wind could be heard far away.
The wind and rain have risen again.
The calm last night was only temporary.
Everyone gathered together to eat the leftover dried meat and compressed biscuits for breakfast.
There is not much food left, but fortunately, according to estimates, they will be able to go down from the 21st pavilion to the main road when it is getting late tonight.
Thinking that victory was in sight, they couldn't help cheering up, and as soon as they finished eating, they couldn't wait to set off.
Just as I was about to leave, something happened.
Amei started coughing up blood.
When they were packing their bags, they heard her cough violently, as if she was about to cough up all her internal organs.Walking over to take a look, she saw that she was leaning on a tree, bent over, and there was already a small puddle of blood on the ground.
She is slowly transforming into a spider.
Everyone panicked and backed away again and again, wishing they could get as far away from her as possible.
Amei's face was also pale.
She was already in a bad state, coughing constantly all the way, enduring the great pain brought about by the transformation.Even Lu Yingjiu is not sure whether she can persist on the next mountain road.
She said: "Don't worry, my transformation will take two days to complete... If I can't keep up with you on the way, you can just leave me and go."
She coughed a few more times.
After this round, when they walked up the mountain road again, everyone's pace couldn't help but quicken.
No one dared to lean towards Amei. Amei could only hang her head and silently follow behind Lu Yingjiu, occasionally faltering.
Lu Yingjiu pasted a few more talisman papers on her, but they could only relieve her pain and let her barely keep up with the team, that's all.
Fortunately, the journey was safe and sound, and nothing went wrong.
It looks like they really did get rid of the spider.
It's just that the mountain road is far away. After yesterday's series of rushing and frightening, the physical strength of everyone was very exhausted. Even with the blessing of talisman paper, the speed was getting slower and slower.
This caused their arrival time to be later than estimated.
Originally, Ye Feng predicted that the distance between the remaining pavilions is not too far, and the mountain road is easier to walk.Depart at 07:30 in the morning, rest for an hour at noon, and then go to seven or eight in the evening, no matter what, it is time to reach the 21st pavilion.
As a result, at seven or eight o'clock, everyone's feet were sore, and they were staggering, and they only reached the 17th pavilion in a hurry.
After walking for more than an hour, we arrived at the 20th pavilion.
Like the 10th pavilion, a temporary resting place is also built here.
When Lu Yingjiu turned around, he saw the faces covered with rain and sweat and were tired, so he discussed with Ye Feng to rest for a while before deciding whether to go down the mountain overnight.
After all, the closer it is to late night, the heavier the yin, and the more active the ghosts and gods will be.That part of the downhill road was not blessed by Li Snake, so it was hard to guarantee that something would happen.
So Ye Feng searched around the pavilion and found a place sealed with talisman paper.
It was a door leading underground.
The talisman papers were almost rotten, Lu Yingjiu and him took ten minutes to remove them all.
The door opened, and an iron ladder appeared in front of him.
The bottom was pitch black, and the vertical ladder was rusted. Although there was a circle of iron bars around it as a protective measure, it was in disrepair after all, and it looked scary.
Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian went down first.
Surprisingly, the bottom is not deep.
Lu Yingjiu greeted: "Come down! The bottom is not deep!"
Only then did everyone slowly climb down one by one.
Lu Yingjiu looked around with a flashlight.
The Ye family actually built a lounge-like room underneath, with seats, sofas, tables and chairs... It's just that this place has no electricity, it's pitch black, and there are several flashlights and the remains of kerosene lamps on the ground in the corner.
Regardless of the moldy sofa and rotten chairs, those people sat on it and drank several mouthfuls of water.Several had blisters on their feet, took off their shoes, and gnashed their teeth in pain.
Ah Mei also found a corner to stay by herself, closing her eyes and resting her mind.
After Lu Yingjiu rested for a while, he searched the place carefully with a flashlight.
On the one hand, he wanted to see if there were any clues about the spider mother, and on the other hand, he wanted to find out if Zhang Nianyun had left something about him.
Sure enough, there was room in the lounge.
Those are two back rooms, full of tools for exorcising ghosts, such as talisman paper, paintbrushes, and large portraits of ghosts and gods.There is also something similar to a patrol watch posted on the wall, recording the date when each wave of people came to worship the mountain.
Lu Yingjiu turned on the light.
[January 1993, 1, a total of 2 people
Items: some talisman papers, a box of banknotes, a box of paper ingots, and a suckling pig
Return time: January 1]
[January 1993, 6, a total of 16 people
Items: some talisman papers, three boxes of banknotes, five sticks of paper figurines, one suckling pig, three roast chickens
Return time: January 6]
[February 1993, 12...]
[February 1994, 2...]
[February 1994, 7...]
People in the nursing home visit the mountain about two or three times a year, and each time they register the date of their return and return.
Except for two of them.
路迎酒的目光落在了【1995年6月18日】和【2000年7月1日】
Neither return date was written.
Amei said that there were two visits to the mountain because of mudslides, which happened to be in the past two years.It may be that something happened on the way back, so the return date was not written at this rest point.
Lu Yingjiu took photos of these two dates.
Ye Feng was still looking for something in the next room, also trying to dig out some clues.
Lu Yingjiu just wanted to go and look for him together, but before she took two steps, she was suddenly hugged by Jing Xian from behind.
Lu Yingjiu was in a bad mood, so he immediately went to break his hand, but as one can imagine, he didn't move.
Jing Xian leaned over slightly, put his chin on his right shoulder, and said, "Let's kiss again."
There were only the two of them in this room, and Lu Yingjiu still had a slight fever on his face: "What are you doing here. You're addicted to kissing once, aren't you? Why don't you ask me if I agree?"
Jing Xian said, "I'm just asking you."
Lu Yingjiu tried to push Jing Xian's head away with his backhand, and said, "I never said we were together!"
"I know, I know, you still need time to accept." Jing Xian coped with it, but his hands didn't relax at all, "So let's kiss quietly first, quietly."
"Quietly, isn't that a kiss!" Lu Yingjiu began to break his hands again.
But the absolute gap in strength cannot be made up for by his hard work.Lu Yingjiu suspected that he invited God, and he was not as strong as Jing Xian - this guy Jing Xian didn't know what he ate to grow up, he was simply surprised.
There were people outside, and he didn't dare to make too much noise, in the end he was half pushed and half bitten on the neck by Jing Xian, and he finally broke free.
As soon as the two separated, Lu Yingjiu just glanced at Jing Xian, and suddenly heard Ye Feng shout: "Hey! You two come here! I found something."
Just as Lu Yingjiu was about to go over, she was grabbed by Jing Xian again.
Jing Xian bowed his head, carefully arranged his crumpled clothes just now, and then went with him.
On the other side, in front of Ye Feng and Xiao Li, there are many photos spread out.
It was a satellite image, and it showed the area of Wanming Mountain.
Although the picture is very blurry, I can barely see Yueshan Nursing Home, Yueshan Village and the 35 pavilions on the top of the mountain.
Looking at the date, there are satellite images from the 80s to the early [-]s.
"This is left by your second master?" Lu Yingjiu flipped through a few sheets.
"Yes." Ye Feng nodded, "Look at these handwritings, they should all be left by him."
There are indeed a lot of lines drawn on the satellite image, and they are densely packed with small characters.
Ye Feng pointed to several notebooks next to him: "He has studied the direction of the mountains here, so that he can study the protection of Li Snake. People in our family often look at satellite images or aerial images just to observe the mountains."
He continued: "The nursing home has always been protected by Li Snake, and other ghosts and gods are actually very difficult to enter. Amei said that the village believes in the Spider Mother, but there has been no way to summon her. This is the reason. So the Spider Mother must have found it." You can take advantage of this opportunity, for example, during the Ghost Festival, or when the talisman paper in the pavilion is accidentally damaged..."
Lu Yingjiu asked: "Are you thinking, how did the second master make the spider mother appear?"
"Yes." Ye Feng said, "This can also help us find the spider mother. We must solve the matter in this village."
Lu Yingjiu carefully read the notes.
Ye Deyong is a very serious person, and most of the recorded things are researches on talisman papers—his researches were done more than 20 years ago, which is relatively backward compared to now. Lu Yingjiu took a quick glance and knew that he was What you are doing is nothing special.
His eyes fell back to the satellite map.
He arranged the satellite images in chronological order and read them carefully.
Suddenly, Lu Yingjiu said: "Look here, are there any patterns?"
He was referring to the satellite images from 03.
Ye Feng looked carefully for a long time before he could barely see that there seemed to be something strange in the woods.
He said: "It seems to be a little bit... At that time, the technology was limited, and the pictures were not very clear. Could it be a printing problem?"
"But if you look closely, they all look like dead trees." Lu Yingjiu said, "This picture was taken in July, when the trees should be at their most luxuriant. How could there be such a large area of dead trees? What's more, There was nothing like this in the pictures before.”
"Moreover, they are distributed regularly, one by one, starting from the ridge and spreading out."
He pointed with his hands: "I roughly counted, there are eight in total, symmetrical to each other along the ridge. And the circular area near the sanatorium, the trees are also withered. At the edge of the mountain, there is a large oval Withering of form."
With such a finger, Ye Feng slowly noticed it.
He said, "Yeah, it seems so. How could it be?"
Xiao Li also stared at the side, and said, "Oh, look at the circle of dead trees in the nursing home. Why do I think the shape looks familiar?" He pondered for a while, "Why do I think that the two protruding trees in front of this circle place, like a spider's fangs?"
The more he talked, the more he felt like it: "That's right, this circle looks like the head of a spider. If you connect it with other dead trees, the eight are the legs of the spider, and the last oval is the tail of the spider. This It's a big spider!"
As soon as he said this, he felt chills behind him.
Lu Yingjiu also watched intently.
Obviously, there are pavilions built along this road, and Li Snake appears in the picture in the form of entrenched mountains.
But it is indeed as Xiao Li said...
It was almost as if a huge spider had parasitized on Li Snake's body, and its legs had been pulled out from its abdomen. Its head and fangs occupied the nursing home tightly, tearing the mountain range to pieces.
Wanming Mountain is her brand new lair.
She patiently weaves a large net, luring outsiders to go deep.
He said: "Is it possible that the spider mother we are looking for is right under our feet."
"What do you mean?" Ye Feng asked.
Lu Yingjiu said: "Maybe this entire mountain range is the spider mother."
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden scream from the lounge.
Because Ye Feng's thinking was directly broken by him, and he couldn't sleep at all.He sat on a rotten chair, his eyes lost his mind, and he kept mumbling: "How could this be, how could this be... I can't sleep at all tonight."
Lu Yingjiu stood beside him and said, "Actually, we're not really together..."
"Impossible." Ye Feng murmured, "I should have noticed earlier, you have been sticking together like glue, ears and temples rubbing eyebrows and eyes, 502 is not as strong as you. I am blind, I didn't see it. It's my slow reaction, I thought you were like a juicy Chinese cabbage before, but I didn't wake up."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
Ye Feng said again: "I'm stupid. Going out to catch ghosts is like a honeymoon on a spring outing. Just come to a middle school class teacher and just take a look. You don't have to hesitate. He can immediately catch you two out with puppy love and invite your parents to write Review."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
Ye Feng: "Lu Yingjiu, Lu Yingjiu, why did you bend all of a sudden? My brother and I have been dreaming about the glamorous female ghost for so many years, and I've been waiting to see the extremely hot girl with protruding front and back. , turned into a man? Although I know you like dogtail grass, you can't be the same as dogtail grass, and you will fall down as soon as Jing Xian's evil wind blows."
Lu Yingjiu supported his forehead and said, "I've already said that we're not really together, and I'm still working on my mental health."
"Ah yes," Ye Feng nodded, "yes, you should do some psychological construction. This kiss has been kissed before, so the next step is to do it with real guns." He suddenly became nervous, "Then What will happen if you two sleep together tonight when I keep watch?"
"Nothing will happen." Lu Yingjiu said.
"That's good." Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "The sound insulation of this rotten room is very poor, and the floor will creak and creak when you move it. If you try harder, the whole thing may collapse."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
He didn't even dare to ask what scene Ye Feng was imagining.
Ye Feng said again: "Didn't you say that he is that 'big dog', just your childhood playmate."
"He used a false identity," Lu Yingjiu explained, "that's when he wanted to contact me at the beginning, he wanted to use a... more ordinary identity." The cabbage was eaten by a dog," Ye Feng said, "So you really want to keep vigil?"

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

The sleeping bags were not big enough, and the rest of the people either slept against the wall or made do with the broken beds.Red Clothes insisted on giving Lu Yingjiu the sleeping bag she brought.
The two girls squeezed into a room, and Aaron, Hong Yi and their friends stayed together.
Ah Mei couldn't stay with others, so she stayed with Ye Feng, who was watching the night, moved a table, covered her with a coat, and lay down on the table to sleep.Xiao Li also ran out to watch the night with Ye Feng - he has learned a lot from Ye Feng in the past few days, and admires him very much, mainly because he still wants to hear the story of Li Snake.
Before going to bed, Lu Yingjiu carefully pasted talisman papers on each wooden house before returning to the house with peace of mind.

Lu Yingjiu:? ?
He began to wake up: "What are you going to do?"

Lu Yingjiu:? ? ?
Lu Yingjiu: "No! You were apologizing to me an hour ago, saying that you were impulsive, why are you starting again now?"
Jing Xian: "Isn't this impulsive again..."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."

He started digging and digging in that magical little backpack again, and sure enough, he took out a scroll of paintings.

This stickman was drawn with a brush, with thick ink all over his body, standing domineeringly in the center of the scroll.
Quite a bit of arrogance to the crowd.

And looking at Jing Xian's expression, he probably sincerely thinks this painting is beautiful.
Jing Xian's artistic aesthetics are worrying, and he is full of artistic bacteria.
Lu Yingjiu felt his temples throbbing and said, "Don't hang this thing back up again."
"Then how can I do it?" Jing Xian said, "There are still many ghosts who haven't seen it yet."
"Don't, don't, don't." Lu Yingjiu had a headache, "Don't."
"Alright." Jing Xian immediately changed his words, "Then let's kiss, I won't hang up after kissing."
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
He didn't expect the topic to come back again.
He slipped into the sleeping bag and said, "No kiss. Turn off the lights, I want to sleep."
Jing Xian: "Really not..."
"No kiss, no kiss." Lu Yingjiu said, "I'm angry."
"Didn't you just say you weren't angry?"
"The more you think about it, the angrier you get." Lu Yingjiu closed her eyes.
Jing Xian: "..."
It was only then that he extinguished the flame of the talisman paper with regret, and carefully put away his stunning masterpiece, thinking that he would draw a few more for Lu Yingjiu in the future.
The surroundings finally quieted down.
I don't know if it's because I was tired from walking the mountain road, or because Jing Xian was confused all of a sudden, but Lu Yingjiu slept unexpectedly deeply this time.
When I woke up, it was already seven o'clock in the morning, and the roof was dripping with rain, and the mountain wind could be heard far away.
The wind and rain have risen again.
The calm last night was only temporary.
Everyone gathered together to eat the leftover dried meat and compressed biscuits for breakfast.
There is not much food left, but fortunately, according to estimates, they will be able to go down from the 21st pavilion to the main road when it is getting late tonight.
Thinking that victory was in sight, they couldn't help cheering up, and as soon as they finished eating, they couldn't wait to set off.
Just as I was about to leave, something happened.
Amei started coughing up blood.
When they were packing their bags, they heard her cough violently, as if she was about to cough up all her internal organs.Walking over to take a look, she saw that she was leaning on a tree, bent over, and there was already a small puddle of blood on the ground.
She is slowly transforming into a spider.
Everyone panicked and backed away again and again, wishing they could get as far away from her as possible.
Amei's face was also pale.
She was already in a bad state, coughing constantly all the way, enduring the great pain brought about by the transformation.Even Lu Yingjiu is not sure whether she can persist on the next mountain road.
She said: "Don't worry, my transformation will take two days to complete... If I can't keep up with you on the way, you can just leave me and go."
She coughed a few more times.
After this round, when they walked up the mountain road again, everyone's pace couldn't help but quicken.
No one dared to lean towards Amei. Amei could only hang her head and silently follow behind Lu Yingjiu, occasionally faltering.
Lu Yingjiu pasted a few more talisman papers on her, but they could only relieve her pain and let her barely keep up with the team, that's all.
Fortunately, the journey was safe and sound, and nothing went wrong.
It looks like they really did get rid of the spider.
It's just that the mountain road is far away. After yesterday's series of rushing and frightening, the physical strength of everyone was very exhausted. Even with the blessing of talisman paper, the speed was getting slower and slower.
This caused their arrival time to be later than estimated.
Originally, Ye Feng predicted that the distance between the remaining pavilions is not too far, and the mountain road is easier to walk.Depart at 07:30 in the morning, rest for an hour at noon, and then go to seven or eight in the evening, no matter what, it is time to reach the 21st pavilion.
As a result, at seven or eight o'clock, everyone's feet were sore, and they were staggering, and they only reached the 17th pavilion in a hurry.
After walking for more than an hour, we arrived at the 20th pavilion.
Like the 10th pavilion, a temporary resting place is also built here.
When Lu Yingjiu turned around, he saw the faces covered with rain and sweat and were tired, so he discussed with Ye Feng to rest for a while before deciding whether to go down the mountain overnight.
After all, the closer it is to late night, the heavier the yin, and the more active the ghosts and gods will be.That part of the downhill road was not blessed by Li Snake, so it was hard to guarantee that something would happen.
So Ye Feng searched around the pavilion and found a place sealed with talisman paper.
It was a door leading underground.
The talisman papers were almost rotten, Lu Yingjiu and him took ten minutes to remove them all.
The door opened, and an iron ladder appeared in front of him.
The bottom was pitch black, and the vertical ladder was rusted. Although there was a circle of iron bars around it as a protective measure, it was in disrepair after all, and it looked scary.
Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian went down first.
Surprisingly, the bottom is not deep.
Lu Yingjiu greeted: "Come down! The bottom is not deep!"
Only then did everyone slowly climb down one by one.
Lu Yingjiu looked around with a flashlight.
The Ye family actually built a lounge-like room underneath, with seats, sofas, tables and chairs... It's just that this place has no electricity, it's pitch black, and there are several flashlights and the remains of kerosene lamps on the ground in the corner.
Regardless of the moldy sofa and rotten chairs, those people sat on it and drank several mouthfuls of water.Several had blisters on their feet, took off their shoes, and gnashed their teeth in pain.
Ah Mei also found a corner to stay by herself, closing her eyes and resting her mind.
After Lu Yingjiu rested for a while, he searched the place carefully with a flashlight.
On the one hand, he wanted to see if there were any clues about the spider mother, and on the other hand, he wanted to find out if Zhang Nianyun had left something about him.
Sure enough, there was room in the lounge.
Those are two back rooms, full of tools for exorcising ghosts, such as talisman paper, paintbrushes, and large portraits of ghosts and gods.There is also something similar to a patrol watch posted on the wall, recording the date when each wave of people came to worship the mountain.
Lu Yingjiu turned on the light.
[January 1993, 1, a total of 2 people
Items: some talisman papers, a box of banknotes, a box of paper ingots, and a suckling pig
Return time: January 1]
[January 1993, 6, a total of 16 people
Items: some talisman papers, three boxes of banknotes, five sticks of paper figurines, one suckling pig, three roast chickens
Return time: January 6]
[February 1993, 12...]
[February 1994, 2...]
[February 1994, 7...]
People in the nursing home visit the mountain about two or three times a year, and each time they register the date of their return and return.
Except for two of them.
路迎酒的目光落在了【1995年6月18日】和【2000年7月1日】
Neither return date was written.
Amei said that there were two visits to the mountain because of mudslides, which happened to be in the past two years.It may be that something happened on the way back, so the return date was not written at this rest point.
Lu Yingjiu took photos of these two dates.
Ye Feng was still looking for something in the next room, also trying to dig out some clues.
Lu Yingjiu just wanted to go and look for him together, but before she took two steps, she was suddenly hugged by Jing Xian from behind.
Lu Yingjiu was in a bad mood, so he immediately went to break his hand, but as one can imagine, he didn't move.
Jing Xian leaned over slightly, put his chin on his right shoulder, and said, "Let's kiss again."
There were only the two of them in this room, and Lu Yingjiu still had a slight fever on his face: "What are you doing here. You're addicted to kissing once, aren't you? Why don't you ask me if I agree?"
Jing Xian said, "I'm just asking you."
Lu Yingjiu tried to push Jing Xian's head away with his backhand, and said, "I never said we were together!"
"I know, I know, you still need time to accept." Jing Xian coped with it, but his hands didn't relax at all, "So let's kiss quietly first, quietly."
"Quietly, isn't that a kiss!" Lu Yingjiu began to break his hands again.
But the absolute gap in strength cannot be made up for by his hard work.Lu Yingjiu suspected that he invited God, and he was not as strong as Jing Xian - this guy Jing Xian didn't know what he ate to grow up, he was simply surprised.
There were people outside, and he didn't dare to make too much noise, in the end he was half pushed and half bitten on the neck by Jing Xian, and he finally broke free.
As soon as the two separated, Lu Yingjiu just glanced at Jing Xian, and suddenly heard Ye Feng shout: "Hey! You two come here! I found something."
Just as Lu Yingjiu was about to go over, she was grabbed by Jing Xian again.
Jing Xian bowed his head, carefully arranged his crumpled clothes just now, and then went with him.
On the other side, in front of Ye Feng and Xiao Li, there are many photos spread out.
It was a satellite image, and it showed the area of Wanming Mountain.
Although the picture is very blurry, I can barely see Yueshan Nursing Home, Yueshan Village and the 35 pavilions on the top of the mountain.
Looking at the date, there are satellite images from the 80s to the early [-]s.
"This is left by your second master?" Lu Yingjiu flipped through a few sheets.
"Yes." Ye Feng nodded, "Look at these handwritings, they should all be left by him."
There are indeed a lot of lines drawn on the satellite image, and they are densely packed with small characters.
Ye Feng pointed to several notebooks next to him: "He has studied the direction of the mountains here, so that he can study the protection of Li Snake. People in our family often look at satellite images or aerial images just to observe the mountains."
He continued: "The nursing home has always been protected by Li Snake, and other ghosts and gods are actually very difficult to enter. Amei said that the village believes in the Spider Mother, but there has been no way to summon her. This is the reason. So the Spider Mother must have found it." You can take advantage of this opportunity, for example, during the Ghost Festival, or when the talisman paper in the pavilion is accidentally damaged..."
Lu Yingjiu asked: "Are you thinking, how did the second master make the spider mother appear?"
"Yes." Ye Feng said, "This can also help us find the spider mother. We must solve the matter in this village."
Lu Yingjiu carefully read the notes.
Ye Deyong is a very serious person, and most of the recorded things are researches on talisman papers—his researches were done more than 20 years ago, which is relatively backward compared to now. Lu Yingjiu took a quick glance and knew that he was What you are doing is nothing special.
His eyes fell back to the satellite map.
He arranged the satellite images in chronological order and read them carefully.
Suddenly, Lu Yingjiu said: "Look here, are there any patterns?"
He was referring to the satellite images from 03.
Ye Feng looked carefully for a long time before he could barely see that there seemed to be something strange in the woods.
He said: "It seems to be a little bit... At that time, the technology was limited, and the pictures were not very clear. Could it be a printing problem?"
"But if you look closely, they all look like dead trees." Lu Yingjiu said, "This picture was taken in July, when the trees should be at their most luxuriant. How could there be such a large area of dead trees? What's more, There was nothing like this in the pictures before.”
"Moreover, they are distributed regularly, one by one, starting from the ridge and spreading out."
He pointed with his hands: "I roughly counted, there are eight in total, symmetrical to each other along the ridge. And the circular area near the sanatorium, the trees are also withered. At the edge of the mountain, there is a large oval Withering of form."
With such a finger, Ye Feng slowly noticed it.
He said, "Yeah, it seems so. How could it be?"
Xiao Li also stared at the side, and said, "Oh, look at the circle of dead trees in the nursing home. Why do I think the shape looks familiar?" He pondered for a while, "Why do I think that the two protruding trees in front of this circle place, like a spider's fangs?"
The more he talked, the more he felt like it: "That's right, this circle looks like the head of a spider. If you connect it with other dead trees, the eight are the legs of the spider, and the last oval is the tail of the spider. This It's a big spider!"
As soon as he said this, he felt chills behind him.
Lu Yingjiu also watched intently.
Obviously, there are pavilions built along this road, and Li Snake appears in the picture in the form of entrenched mountains.
But it is indeed as Xiao Li said...
It was almost as if a huge spider had parasitized on Li Snake's body, and its legs had been pulled out from its abdomen. Its head and fangs occupied the nursing home tightly, tearing the mountain range to pieces.
Wanming Mountain is her brand new lair.
She patiently weaves a large net, luring outsiders to go deep.
He said: "Is it possible that the spider mother we are looking for is right under our feet."
"What do you mean?" Ye Feng asked.
Lu Yingjiu said: "Maybe this entire mountain range is the spider mother."
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden scream from the lounge.
