This year's monsters are super fierce [75]

'Crack! '

Hearing the sound of dry wood burning again, Yan Buzhou reacted a little too late when he saw Zhan Zhao actually got up and walked over.

Instead, she took the time to maintain her supine sleeping position, "I just said something inappropriate, but you really took the initiative to come over, so how do you want me to coax you to be satisfied?"

This question is not very sincere.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, of course he believed that Yan Buzhou would not like Wu Yan's bald head.

The faint uneasiness in his heart was never from suspicion of empathy, but from the fear that he would not be able to match the charm of immortality and boundless mana.Wu Yan is from Kunlun Tianwai. To some extent, Wu Yan and Yan Buzhou are the same kind of people.

"Ayan..." Zhan Zhao bent down and approached, and in the dim light of the fire, he realized that Yan Yan was the only one in Yan Yan's eyes, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Worrying about gains and losses is an unavoidable common problem for people, and he is also unavoidable.In the current situation, there is no need to ask again, lest the tacit understanding and trust between the two be lost.

Yan Buzhou looked at Zhan Zhao quietly with a smile, and guessed what the cat would do if he was jealous.Since you can't stretch out a paw to scratch someone, will you show your sovereignty by kissing directly on the head with jealousy?

If the jealous cat suddenly becomes bold, is it to encourage him to make persistent efforts, or to push back and take the initiative?

In such silence, one lay flat, the other leaned over, and the two looked at each other for a moment.

"Rest early and stop thinking about it."

Zhan Zhao's gaze seems to have swept over Yan Zhou's lips inadvertently, and in the end he only reached out to brush her hair behind her ears, and then helped her to press the corners of the quilt.Then he turned around quickly, lay back in his bed and closed his eyes.

Yan Buzhou was a little dumbfounded. After watching for a long time, is this over?

He should have guessed that even if a certain cat has evil intentions, he is not courageous, so he snorted softly angrily, "Whoever thinks wildly, he knows clearly."

After saying this, Yan Buzhou turned over and fell asleep not long after.

Zhan Zhao closed his eyes and sighed secretly, it seemed that he couldn't overestimate his concentration.

It's just that it's not suitable to set up two tents here and live separately. If the situation just now happened a few more times, he's really afraid that he won't be able to restrain himself.

Night will pass.

As soon as the sky dawned, the blur of night was dispelled.

The first thing after breakfast, Yan Buzhou turned back to Zeshui Village. There was an important matter that Zhou Hua had to confirm.

"I was in a hurry yesterday, so I didn't have time to ask you about your body. Looking carefully now, your complexion is indeed wrong. There is black air around your brows. In layman's terms, your Yintang has turned black."

The indiscretion was not to scare Zhou Hua.She wandered around Zeshui Village, and then went to the cemetery behind the village again. The sinister aura created by Jiusui's method of raising corpses has gradually disappeared. The strange aura lingering on Zhou Hua's body did not come from the passiveness of the ancestral grave. .

"Think about it carefully, have you ever provoked anything unclean?"

Zhou Hua didn't dare to look directly at Yan Buzhou. He hadn't met a stranger outside for many years, let alone a young and beautiful woman.

This meeting touched the crippled leg uncomfortably, shook his head with his head half down. "I have never touched anything of unknown origin. I have been careful not to touch those weird things."

When he came to Zeshui Village, Zhu Ming briefly mentioned why he bothered to help Zhou Hua so much.He always believed that Zhou Hua should bear three points of responsibility for his broken leg.

Zhu Ming is in the antique business and has his own set of rules.

When he was a teenager, when his father and brother died young, a blind man told his fortune.It is said that unless he finds a wife with a special zodiac match in this life, he will die alone and die alone.

Zhu Ming didn't believe those words at first, but when he was 17 years old, he really met the Zhou family who had a good horoscope.

Not to mention falling in love at first sight until death, but also being congenial in temperament and able to ask for a case in the future, it was quickly settled and chose an auspicious day to get married.

It's good to say, it seems to answer the words of the blind man.Ever since he married the Zhou family, whose zodiac coincidence, Zhu Ming's luck seemed to have bottomed out.

People are most afraid of getting carried away with complacency, and even less of being ungrateful.

Zhu Ming kept these two points in mind in order to start a family business.His hobbies are only in antiques, so even when he became rich, he never thought of taking concubines for fun. Instead, Ai Wu and Wu took great care of Zhou's relatives.

Although Zhu Ming's wife is not close to Zhou Hua's elders, the two families are not separated from each other.Seriously, this branch of Zhou Hua's family can still be regarded as the authentic long house.

That year, Zhu Ming took the Zhou family back to his hometown to worship the ancestors, and when Zhou Hua was going to Beijing for the exam, the two parties met face to face.

Unexpectedly, that gathering brought disaster to Zhou Hua, he was kidnapped by robbers on the way.

The robbers found out that Zhou Hua and Zhu Ming were related by marriage, and only said that Zhu Ming took away a group of treasures that the robbers originally wanted, and wanted to use Zhou Hua to extort a thousand taels of gold from Zhu Ming.

Within a day, Zhu Ming found someone to wipe out all the robbers, but he couldn't bring Zhou Hua out completely.

The robbers were cruel and merciless, Zhou Hua had to escape and broke one of his legs in the first moment, no matter what kind of physical disabilities are not allowed to be officials.

After learning about the past, Yan Buzhou also felt that Zhou Hua would probably not take the initiative to contact outsiders and strange things again, but where did the weirdness in him come from?

"If you don't mind, let's start from the beginning. What have you done in the past month? Since I took over the affairs of Zeshui Village, I can't find out that you are weird and turn a blind eye."

Yan Buzhou looked at Zhou Hua's expression becoming more and more shy, and felt that he should drag Zhan Zhao along.She may be more suitable for interrogating demons and ghosts than asking people.

"Don't be nervous, just chatting. I think the drought in Zeshui Village has continued to be difficult for the past few months, and you must have worked hard to resolve it. You might as well tell me what you found, it is very likely that the drought will be found. Cause helps a lot.”

This is really understatement.

Zhou Hua didn't want to bother Zhu Ming too much. He had tried his best to find out the source of the drought for several months, but he didn't say anything clearly at the moment.

He dryly recounted what he had done in recent days, his daily life was full of good things, and the only time he left Zeshui Village was to go to the county town to send letters to Zhu Ming on a regular basis.

Yan Buzhou took notes patiently.When she was almost distracted and was about to start drawing cats in the record book, Zhou Hua heard Zhou Hua mention what happened last night before Ji Xin had someone dig her grave.

"I swear that at the price of my soul, I will let all of the Ji family die. Fortunately, you came in time, and I think the Yamen will definitely punish the Ji family. Really, I am very grateful to you, from now on... ..."

When Zhou Hua talked about the situation last night, he finally raised his half-cast eyes.There was a look of unconcealable gratitude on his face, but he was interrupted when he wanted to say something.

"Wait, you don't hesitate to sacrifice your soul to curse everyone in the Ji family to death in vain?"

Yan Buzhou looked at Zhou Hua and nodded affirmatively in embarrassment. After walking around for a long time, she finally found a possible reason.

The strange aura on Zhou Hua's body most likely stemmed from this suicidal curse.

Zhou Hua was not stupid, he noticed Yan Buzhou's serious expression, and immediately guessed that the curse might be coming true.

"I don't regret it. In yesterday's situation, I only have one life left to avenge the Ji family. I will make the same choice again. If the heavens want me to fulfill my oath, all the members of the Ji family will die. Girls don't have to worry about it."

There is only hope for someone alive, and you have to think about your family.

Words such as these were not mentioned in Yan Buzhou.She has no position to persuade, it is safer to let Zhu Ming talk about this matter.

"You have your reasons. Since I don't regret it, I can't talk about troubles as an outsider."

Yan Buzhou didn't know the orthodox way to break the curse, she did everything she could, and learned not to take too much destiny on her.

There is not much nonsense, but the words are not good enough to use the power of the virtual mirror, but only half of the strange energy in Zhou Hua's body is eliminated.She guessed it was because she couldn't find the other party to make the oath.

Let Zhou Hua explain the situation in detail at that time. If he didn't swear to a specific person or thing, it would be impossible to find out who cast a curse with him in the dark.

A strange drought occurred in Zeshui County, and another shell of a strange beast Shizuku was found left outside.

Now, it is hard to say that there are real people, demons, demons, etc. in the area of ​​Mangdang Mountain, who will take over Zhou Hua's vow across mountains and rivers.

Earlier, Mo Yang, who helped the puppet fulfill the vow, mentioned that the process of making a vow is very complicated.No matter how firmly ordinary people swear, there are very few cases in this world where it comes true.

However, once the dog/shit/luck hits and the previous oath is canceled, take the equivalent exchange curse as an example, it can only 'replenish' the vower.

The luckier the wisher is, the more "qi" he exchanged, he can still keep his life.

Yan Buzhou left behind a wooden amulet.It was one of the wonderful little objects bought in the dream world, and it was said to help people turn bad luck into good fortune.

All that can be done is to meet the opportunity to find the undertaker, and set off as soon as possible to find the source of Shizuku shell.Eight out of ten practitioners who have been able to cast a spell with Zhou Hua recently have something to do with the drought in Zeshui Village and the ancient tombs worshiped by the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

The re-entry to Zeshui Village this time is not just a helpless matter of confirming Zhou Hua's curse.

"Is this the reorganization done by Zhou Hua?"

Zhan Zhao flipped through the thick booklet in his hand.Yan Buzhou brought back a total of five books, which are Zhou Hua's inductive compilation from the Tang Dynasty backwards, all of which are related to Mount Mangdang and the drought.

According to the dynasty volume, time, events, follow-up results, etc., each item is sorted out very clearly.

Zhou Hua also made annotations from the side, analyzing which events may be related, covering almost all ancient books available on the market.

The workload is huge, and the books involved are far more than the cartload of local chronicles that were temporarily pulled from the county government.

Zhou Hua is not good at words, he just asked Yan Buzhou to take away the record book, hoping to be of some help.

"Zhou Hua's arrangement is clear at a glance, and it has been organized to the Qin and Han Dynasties. I have roughly read it, and it can be regarded as helping to do the elimination method."

If you don't speak well, you can't say that Zhou Hua has done useless work.Shizuku came from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and Zhou Hua was looking for clues from the Tang Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty, and the pre-Qin part has not been involved yet.

Under normal circumstances, inferring the source of the drought should be investigated from the near to the far. After all, most of the Yin and Shang Dynasties are left with only legends.

During the 600 years, great changes have taken place in the terrain of mountains and rivers. It is hard to imagine that such a distant time still has a fatal impact on later generations.

Zhan Zhao knows that speaking badly is a good way to look at it, and she will never easily deny a person's efforts.What Zhou Hua did was half the effort, but the method of elimination is better than none at all.

"It's a pity, Zhou Hua's leg is broken, otherwise, with his strength, if he can lift it in the middle..."

"Can you be a petty official?" Zhou Hua didn't say much, smiled and didn't talk much, it's hard to say whether Zhou Hua's personality is suitable.

"Don't talk about these things. You go to prepare the supplies for entering the mountain, and wait for Bai Wuye's letter by the way. What does the letter say?"

Entering the tomb is not a trivial matter, you must find someone you can trust to go with you.

Otherwise, multiple entanglements are relatively light, and I am afraid that someone will stab me in the back.

It has not been more than a month since I knew Zhu Ming, and I feel that this person can be handed over after getting in touch with him.

Earlier, Zhan Zhao had sent a letter to Bai Yutang in Jiangnan, saying that Zhu Ming's wife and children live in Jinling, so Bai Yutang would have a better understanding if he was well-informed.

After getting a reply, he nodded firmly, "According to Brother Bai's investigation, [-]% can be assured, Zhu Ming is quite reliable. When you are ready, we can enter the mountain."

In the past few days, Yan Buzhou hastened his time to look up a few words and phrases about the serpentine monster and the severe drought in the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

She searched for a long time, and finally found a comment on Guo Pu in the Jin Dynasty in a hand-copied commentary on Shan Hai Jing.

——During the Tang Dynasty, the Fat Relic Basilisk once appeared in the Central Plains.

The appearance of this strange snake led to an unprecedented severe drought. The corpses of the people died of thirst and starvation piled up like mountains. The Shang Dynasty, which had just unified the world, almost collapsed.

Fei Yi, Shan Hai Jing records that the hometown of this strange beast lives in Hunxi Mountain.With a snake head and two snake tails, when it appears, there will be a severe drought in the world.

Yan Buzhou dug out the history books, "Shang Tang exterminated Xia and established the Shang Dynasty. The drought mentioned in the commentary of the Shan Hai Jing is very likely to say the same thing as the mulberry forest praying for rain recorded in the history."

According to historical records, Shangtang experienced a severe drought in five consecutive years from 19 to 24.It is said that Shang Tang prayed for rain in the mulberry forest in the east of the capital, and even sacrificed himself to sacrifice to the sky.

When the fire was about to burn, I sincerely moved the sky, and it rained heavily to end the drought.Shang Tang was unscathed and continued to be the founding king of the Shang Dynasty.

Yan Buzhou knows that ancient books cannot be fully trusted, and the few lines of words in the book often bury the little-known truth.

"Bo, the capital of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, is now in the area of ​​Shangqiu, and Mangdang Mountain is to the east of Shangqiu. It is not the mulberry forest in the records, but [-]% of Mangdang Mountain is the real practice. Since Guo Pu once said that the drought was caused by Fat Yi, let's go find its bones."

Ninety-nine percent of the drought in the Tang Dynasty was true, but what moved the heavy rain?I am afraid that sincerity alone is not enough.

This can be seen from Zhou Hua's suicide petition.If you want to kill the members of the Ji family, you have to change Zhou Hua's life, so what price will you have to pay to end the drought in a country?
