After rebirth, I made a fortune by setting up a stall
Chapter 025: Anger 09
"Conjoined twins?" Zhu Xun's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look back at the ghost, half puzzled and surprised, "...are you twin brothers?"
Seeing his sizing up, the ghost seemed to have been touched by the scales suddenly, and the hostility around him suddenly surged.The side head known as Ah Da had a fiery temper, and immediately shouted, "What are you looking at! You don't have a place to talk here!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the voice fell, two invisible spiritual forces rushed towards them one after the other.One increased the intensity of the binding of the ghost whip, and the other simply silenced them.The two brothers were in unbearable pain from being strangled by the ghost whip, but they could only make a muffled sound, unable to speak.
Ning Yue took a step forward, blocked Zhu Xun's view of them with a calm expression, and answered Zhu Xun aloud, "Conjoined twins are a very rare phenomenon of pregnancy."
Zhu Xun frowned when he heard these unfamiliar terms, "...I still don't understand."
This is not to blame for Zhu Xun, his original memory is missing, and he has never encountered this type of conjoined twins in his subconscious mind.What's more, in this modern society where he didn't have much contact with it, there are even more incomprehensible things.
Ning Yuezhi paused, and simply changed to a straightforward way to facilitate his understanding, "The twins were not completely separated in the mother's womb, but they were not discovered in time during pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their bodies, even inside their bodies. Some organs are combined together and cannot be separated. Just like the two brothers Tian and Da now."
"That's how it is." Zhu Xun nodded, with a trace of depression in his eyes, and asked, "...Is it hard to live like this?"
When the two brothers heard this, their expressions suddenly dimmed a bit, and they lowered their eyes in silence.
Shiwu Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and it is more than [-] kilometers away from the nearest land market.In ancient times, the villagers in the village lived by fishing for generations, and had little communication with the outside world.Zhu Xun was also shocked when they first met because of the abnormal physical conditions of the two brothers.What's more, haven't you seen any worldly fishermen on this island?
The old man looked at the two brothers and sighed, "Their mother is a well-known capable woman in the village, and their father is an honest fisherman. The risk of giving birth to twins is very high, let alone the situation of two brothers..."
The woman had a difficult labor without accident, but she guessed that she was pregnant with twins.When she was dying, she ruthlessly forced their husband to disembowel him.Unexpectedly, such a "strange" child was born after the caesarean section, and the husband and the invited Wen Po were frightened and fainted on the spot.
By the time the neighbors noticed something was wrong and arrived, the woman was already dead in a pool of blood.There was a big hole in her stomach, and a conjoined "two-headed monster" lay beside her. They kept their eyes open without crying, and even smiled when they saw the fishermen who were investigating.
When a newborn child smiles, it may be that they are well-behaved and blessed.But what the two brothers bring to others is only the penetrating feeling that goes deep into the bone marrow.
Screams from neighbors drew more villagers.
This matter was spread ten or ten times, and when the fathers of the two brothers woke up, the rumors were out of control.This thing killed its mother when it was born, and it looks weird, it is a disaster from heaven!
No, it's a ghost at all!
"Then how did they survive?" Yu Yan asked.
It is not surprising that there are such rumors in the village, but what is strange is that although the two brothers have died and become ghosts, judging from their body shape after death, they have obviously lived to adulthood.
The old man glanced at him, and fell into memory to explain, "At that time, the wizard in the village was someone else. He hurried over when he heard about it, and threatened in front of many villagers that the two brothers were sent by the sea god. Messenger, if you kill them, you will definitely anger the Sea God. Coincidentally, as soon as these words fell to the ground, the sky that was originally sunny suddenly thundered and thundered."
A wizard spoke before, and then a celestial phenomenon testified.
People in the village are very jealous of the sea god, and even more respect the wizard who can channel the sea god.As a result, no one dared to kill the two brothers immediately.But even so, no one dared to raise them.Even the biological fathers of the two brothers hated and feared him and shunned them.
"At that time, there were many women who had just given birth in the village. The wizard gave an order to let these women take turns to provide breast milk, and he would personally feed the two brothers. When the two brothers grew up and had the ability to take care of themselves, they would be exiled On the nearby deserted island, let them fend for themselves."
After You Wang heard these words, he curled his lips and asked, "So, this wizard is a good person?"
Zhu Xun looked at him and nodded slightly in agreement.At least it sounds like the wizard saved the lives of the two brothers.
"Good guy? I'm bah!" General Ah cursed in his heart and retorted fiercely, "What do you know? He has a beastly face and a duplicity in his appearance. A hundred times is not enough for this kind of person to die!"
The silence order had been released unknowingly, and Ah Tian, who was at the head, heard this, and his face also became ugly.He glanced around, and finally fixed his eyes on Zhu Xun's face, his tone was extremely suppressed anger, "...Zhu Xun, there are not so many good people in this world. He uses us as a cover, just to increase his reputation. The prestige in the hearts of the villagers."
"We will die, it is simply thanks to him."
Zhu Xun's expression was slightly condensed, and the brows were puzzled, "What happened?"
Ning Yuezhi calmly shifted his gaze to the puppet girl, with a dark gleam in his eyes, and asked quietly, "Instead of being entangled in how the two brothers died, it is better to explain clearly the vision in the village first."
After finishing speaking, he fixedly looked at the old man and asked clearly word by word, "What happened to the living dead in the village, the sea sacrifice, the female statue in red, and the sea god and wizard you mentioned just now?" thing?"
"Yes, what's going on in this village?" Zhu Xun put aside his doubts without even thinking about it, and followed Ning Yuezhi's words.
The two brothers have already died and become ghosts, so it is meaningless to ask the bottom line now.But this village full of living dead is different!In case there are hotel tourists who come to visit in the future and come across the vision of this village, wouldn't it be more terrifying than the haunted incident in the hotel?
"It's a long story, and the deaths of the two brothers have something to do with these things." The old man's voice was hoarse, his eyes caught in the memory of the past, "If that's the case, let me start from the beginning."
Zhu Xun looked at Ning Yuezhi, and happened to meet his gaze.Looking at each other, Zhu Xun suddenly smiled and blinked at him.He looked back, pretended to be listening to a story, and said, "Old man, please speak slowly, and we will listen."
Ning Yuezhi retreated slightly and stood in the dark, with a smile hidden in his eyes that no one else could see.
"The currents in the sea around our island are dangerous, but the village has been fishermen for generations, and they have to rely on going out to sea for a living. Since I was born, there has been a saying about the sea god in the village. There is an underwater island hidden ten kilometers east of our island. And there is the place where the sea god lives. The island under the sea will surface every hundred years, and tens of thousands of hectares of sea water will recede to both sides, and a sea channel will be formed in the middle leading to the island."
"Many folk legends are fabricated." Yu Yan was the first to refute.
Among other things, just 'the sea water recedes to form a sea channel' is something that can't be done by manpower.Even if the master exhausted his cultivation, he might not be able to support the opening of a ten-kilometer sea route, right?
Yu Yan meditated in his heart, secretly aiming at Ning Yuezhi from the corner of his eye.
The other party was in a dark place, and there was not much expression on his face, but his usually cold eyes were now terribly deep.It seemed that in the next second, the vortex in the pool of eyes could turn up and devour everything, Yu Yan was taken aback when he saw it.
The old man's reply came again, and he said firmly, "No, I've seen it, it's true. Whenever Sea God Island appears, there will be violent winds and waves in the sea without warning. If the fishermen don't collect their boats in time, they will definitely Will die at the bottom of the sea. Only a lucky few will survive, and that's how the title of wizard in the village comes from."
You Wang on one side seems to have thought of something, and his expression is slightly trembling.
"Oh?" Zhu Xun was obviously aroused by the story, and guessed, "Old man, could it be that the wizards in the village are the survivors of these shipwrecks?"
"Master, I wish you a little insight." The old man nodded, his cloudy eyes seemed to be filled with rare joy, "If you are more specific, the fishermen entered that island and saw the Sea God with their own eyes. Return a life. After returning from Sea God Island, they will naturally have an extra brand on their arms, and even their age will be hundreds of years longer."
After that, he spread his arms.
Looking at the wave-shaped brand, Zhu Xun suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his brain. He subconsciously covered his head and let out a muffled groan.
"senior!"
"Zhu Xun, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Yan and You Wang were immediately distracted and said worriedly.
Ning Yue frowned slightly, silently gave the old man a look, and shook his head slightly.The latter understood, seemed a little guilty, retracted his arm and remained silent.
"I'm fine." Zhu Xun breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that the few people beside him were worried about him, he was a little embarrassed, and explained, "I just feel that this brand is familiar, and it's a little confusing."
Zhu Xun paused, and continued the topic just now, "Old man, according to what you mean, you have also seen Sea God? What does it look like?"
"I was too young at the time, and I fainted from fright after just a quick glance. When I woke up, I had already returned to the village." The old man responded briefly and changed his words to mention another matter, "Before I was born, There are wizards and sea gods in the village. And the sea festival started with the first wizard."
"Because the wizards of all ages said that they were guided by the sea god."
Yu Yan asked, "What guidance?"
"The Sea God needs young women as companions. If he can be chosen by the Sea God, he will be able to enjoy the blessings at the bottom of the sea. Not only that, but the Sea God will also bless the fishermen to sail safely and give them more seafood." The old man paused and added. One thing, "Many villagers didn't believe it at first. The strange thing is that the nearby sea area has been ravaged by heavy rain for several months, and the sea is so stormy that it is impossible to go out to sea..."
Not being able to go to sea means that there is no source of food, and none of the fishermen who were forced to go to sea in order to survive survived.
Going to sea is dead!If you don't go to sea, you will die if you run out of food!
"That is, when everyone was almost desperate, the first wizard proposed the method of sea sacrifice for living people. He also said that the sea god gave him a dream to guide him and selected the daughter of a certain fisherman. The chosen fisherman's family naturally disagreed. , but at that time, the grain reserves in the village will be exhausted..."
Zhu Xun understood in a flash, and snorted disdainfully, "So, the villagers followed this ridiculous instruction?"
Looking for a young woman to keep 'Poseidon' company?They are simply using this excuse to kill people!
The old man sighed and didn't say much.Why doesn't he know what Zhu Xun means?It's a pity that everyone's mouth is enough to make money, and the accumulation is destroyed.How can a family's disapproval be worth the verbal abuse of almost the entire village?
"The woman was forced to put on a red dress, her hands and feet were bound, and she was directly thrown into the bottom of the sea by a small boat." The old man couldn't bear it, but he had to finish the facts, "After that, the wind and rain on the sea stopped, The villagers are more convinced of the wizard's theory and the reality of the sea god."
Zhu Xun put away the sarcasm in his eyes and asked, "Is the red wooden idol made for this woman?"
"It wasn't all done for her alone." Ning Yuezhi, who had been silent all this time, guessed something, and said lightly, "Take a young woman's sea sacrifice, I'm afraid this is more than one case in the village."
The old man was speechless, and his repentant expression was enough to explain everything.Although he had never participated in any sea festival, he still couldn't understand what he was doing.After a long time, he slowly said——
People in the village believe in the sea god more and more, and even the sea sacrifice has become a fixed custom under the guidance of the wizards of the past.The villagers respected and feared this custom, for fear that the dead women would come to revenge after accumulating grievances.So they decided to carve a wooden statue of the dead woman and place it next to the sea god to worship.It's just that these women have different looks, so how can they only draw one face?
Zhu Xunting understood the twists and turns in the middle, and the sarcasm in his eyes reappeared, "It's strange that I have to draw a face, and I don't carve it."
Everyone fell into silence. Yu Yan was the first to break the silence, and asked again, "What else happened? What happened to the living dead in this village?"
The old man glanced past Zhu Xun to the shadow, and then said cautiously, "When I was six years old, hundreds of people came to the village and said that they found out that the water ghosts were raging under our sea area, so they brought their children and Let's practice."
"Aristocratic family? Cultivation?" Zhu Xun's eyes lit up when he heard these two terms.
Yu Yan on one side seemed to understand something, quickly glanced at Ning Yuezhi, and said first, "Senior, I heard that there were three great families of cultivating immortals thousands of years ago, and there were countless disciples under them. From feng shui to catch ghosts, to foundation building cultivation, There are strategies involved. The three major families will hold a trial meeting every five years, with the participation of their disciples. As for the location of the trial meeting..."
"It will be selected and held by the three major families in turn, and each time will last for five days." Zhu Xun lowered his eyes and took Yu Yan's words leisurely.
Yu Yan was surprised for a moment, then suppressed his expression, "Senior, do you know about this?"
"Hearing your words, I just instinctively remembered something." Zhu Xun pretended to be indifferent, suppressing the confusion and helplessness in his eyes.
His memory is like a thick fog shrouded in fog.Occasionally, the whisper is like a breeze, and you can see the sporadic content under the mist as soon as it blows.But more often, no matter how he thinks or looks, the fog is still the fog.
The old man nodded and continued to state the facts.
"These seemingly high-ranking families made the villagers instinctively afraid. Therefore, the old wizard at that time ordered the whole village to keep silent about the sea festival. He even threatened that if the outside world knew about it, the whole village would have to was taken to be beheaded."
Under such a solemn statement, the villagers became more and more tight-lipped.
"Those aristocratic families came on big ships. They seemed to be afraid of disturbing us, so they only sent a few young people to the island. It is difficult for people who have never lived in this sea area to find out the direction, so they hired ten Yuming fishermen on the island act as guides..."
Fishermen who become guides not only have the escort of the children of the family, but also get a lot of fresh meat and money, so many people rush to this job.
"My father was lucky to be one of the several guides. At that time, I was still young, and I was crying and ignorantly going to follow the boat." Looking at the flickering candle, the old man seemed to be completely immersed in the past. Recalling, "There is a big brother... no, it is a young and promising son of a family who thinks I am interesting, so he allows my father to take me on board."
For the first three days, the sea was calm.The family's trial meeting went smoothly, and many ghosts in the sea were captured and refined... But on the fourth day, something unexpected happened!
The sea area that was originally calm suddenly became violent.In the blink of an eye, all the ships were overturned and sank into the sea.
Zhu Xun frowned upon hearing the words.Based on what the old man said before, he guessed, "Is it the Sea God Island that appeared once in a hundred years, and was met by the children of the aristocratic family?"
"It hasn't been 100 years yet, but it is also related to Sea God Island. I guess, the experience of the children of the aristocratic family probably alarmed Sea God." The old man moved his eyes and looked at Zhu Xun, "I fell into the deep sea. The son who took me on board hugged me. Later, we were thrown into a strange island by huge waves."
This strange island naturally refers to Sea God Island.
"I was so young that I couldn't help being scared, and I had a high fever all the time. I vaguely remembered that there was a terrible thing on the island. When I woke up again, I had already returned home, and there was a brand on my arm. "
The twin-body ghost who had been silent for a long time finally spoke at the right time, "I remember that in that accident, countless disciples of the aristocratic family were killed and injured. For several days in a row, people could be seen salvaging from a distance on the sea."
Zhu Xun looked back and asked, "Where were you two brothers at that time?"
"It's on a deserted island nearby." The leader, A-Tian, paused and said in a muffled voice.The deserted island and the stone house island looked very close, but the old wizard deliberately didn't give them a boat, and trapped them on the island in disguise.
"We also rescued a girl. Her brain was hit and she couldn't think of anything after waking up. Miss Alan couldn't understand water. After the initial fear, she could only accept the fact."
"Alan?" You Wang, who was originally casual, heard the name, his eyes changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it Shan Fenglan's word Lan?"
Brother Tian and Big Brother didn't dare to make trouble in front of him, and nodded truthfully, "Miss Alan carries a jade pendant with the word He Lan written on it. We are illiterate, and she taught us the name herself."
Bang.
The kerosene lamp that was very close to You Wang suddenly fell to the ground, sparking a cluster of sparks.
Zhu Xun waved his spiritual power to extinguish it, his eyes flickered slightly, and he asked again, "You Wang, are you okay?"
"It's okay. My legs are a little sore after sitting for a long time. I'll stand up for a while." You Wang got up and smiled at Zhu Xun.But when he turned his back to him, his smile suddenly dissipated, and there were countless murderous auras in his eyes, and he was about to lose his grip.
Ning Yuezhi saw his emotions clearly, and asked questions to divert everyone's attention, "What happened later?"
"Miss Alan has to be more optimistic by nature, she is not afraid of us, and she will even take the initiative to help us with many things." Ah Tian spoke slowly, with a rare strong and gentle tone in his hoarse voice.
Even Ah Da, who was looking sideways at the side, softened a bit.
The two of them have been stared at since they were born, and only the girl He Lan treats them as ordinary people.The two brothers understood that although she lost her memory, she would always remember it one day, and she would go back to the place that belonged to her.
Therefore, the two began to plan to cut wood and build a ship, so that Alan could be sent to Shiwu Island, and then seek help from the fishermen on the island.It's a pity that they waited for the old wizard to arrive before the boat was built.
"He was very surprised when he saw Miss Alan. We thought of his life-saving grace, and told the whole story. Who knows that he is a devil in a good man's skin!" Ada said viciously, and then turned into hatred. Meaning, "He brought us back to Shiwu Island together, but secretly wanted to do something wrong with Miss Alan! We beat him seriously, and originally wanted to take Miss Alan away overnight..."
"But he was furious, and he was afraid that what he had done would be exposed. He actually called the fishermen to fight back first - saying that he was guided by the sea god and wanted to sacrifice Miss Alan to the sea!"
On one side is a respected old wizard, and on the other side is a brother who is regarded as a ghost and a girl who has never met before. The result of the confrontation between the two sides can be imagined-Alan was forced to sacrifice at sea, and the two brothers were also forced to tie their hands and feet together. thrown into the sea.
"We failed to protect Miss Alan, we killed her!" The faces of the two brothers showed intense bitterness.
The old man shook his head regretfully, and took over from the silent brothers, "After that, the old wizard died of his injuries, and I became the new wizard. This peaceful life was only three years, and one day a huge wave suddenly surged on the bottom of the sea, A red-clothed female ghost with her face covered broke out of the water and transformed the whole village into this appearance with a snap of her fingers."
"It was she who destroyed all the plaques of the Sea God in the village, leaving only the wooden idols in red. She cast a spell to hang my life, and made me guard the living dead in the whole village, and worship her day and night..." Since then, the sea ghost in red will go to sea once every hundred years.Randomly plunder the living dead in the village and completely destroy their bodies and souls to vent their anger.
The old man got up tremblingly and walked out of the stone temple.He looked at the endless sea in the distance, "This year, it happens to be the tenth century. After the stone house hotel is built, I'm afraid that those innocent people will be involved in this disaster, so..."
"So, you let the two brothers intentionally create visions to scare away the tourists and staff?"
Zhu Xun got up immediately, and after talking for so long, he finally figured out all the causes and effects.
"Is that female ghost in red the girl Alan you speak of?" You Wang turned around and asked.
"I'm not sure, but it must be one of the women who were sacrificed by the sea before. We all recognize the pattern of the red uniform on her body." A Tian answered, he paused for a few seconds, and then murmured, "I hope it is Ah Tian Miss Lan, at least, she still lives in this world in another way."
It is said that devout offerings can be passed on to the ghosts and gods being worshipped.
The two brothers regarded the female ghost under the sea as Alan, so they worshiped the wooden idol in the temple with great devotion for hundreds of years.Even the strands of hair on the puppets are carefully carved by them.
Knowing the true intentions of the two brothers, Zhu Xun waved back the ghost-binding whip and raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you tell me the truth? Why do you need to make such a fuss?"
"It's you who must know the truth. I told you not to meddle in your own business." The two brothers got up from the ground, and Ah Da immediately retorted unconvinced, "We didn't intend to harm anyone from the beginning to the end! At most I want to teach you a lesson."
"Hey, I made a mistake." Zhu Xun clasped his arms around his chest and shook his head, "It was I who taught you a lesson the other way around."
He could tell that even if they were conjoined twin brothers, Ah Tian and Ah Da had completely different personalities.One is calm and the other is violent.They don't know the way of cultivation, but after living in the world for a long time, the level of cultivation appears higher.
"Don't think you have..." The helper can do whatever he wants!
Before Ah Da finished speaking, he was silently silenced by another spiritual force.
Ah Tian, who was still sane, glanced at Ning Yuezhi and You Wang who were beside him, not daring to do anything wrong - and he didn't know who these two people were?You don't even need to use your hands to teach them a lesson.It's better for them to avoid provoking such a hidden character.
Ada sensed what his brother was thinking, so he simply shut up.
Come on, you can't afford to provoke and you can't hide!
Zhu Xun stepped forward, blinked his eyes, and said, "I'm so angry that I don't pay for my life", "Why don't you talk? Are you scared?"
Ah Da, who was secretly silenced: "..." I'm so angry, but I can't say it.
Seeing his deflated reaction, Zhu Xun smiled.He put away his lip service and asked about something serious, "Old man, no, it's Wizard Hu. You said that the female ghost in red comes out once every 100 years. On what day does it come out?"
"It's coming soon." The old man turned around and announced the time seriously, "The end of June and the beginning of July in the lunar calendar."
A hundred years of reincarnation, half a year's boundary.
Yu Yan counted the days and asked in surprise, "How many days have you been?"
"That's right." The old man responded, with even more worry between his brows, "My brother, I, and the villagers in the village, had no choice but to wish to die. But those people outside are different from us, they are innocent and ignorant Yes. The two brothers tried their best and failed to drive them all away..."
The old man looked around at the crowd and bowed respectfully Zhu Xun, "Master Zhu Xun, I beg you to help me find an excuse to let them leave the island temporarily. The female ghost at the bottom of the sea is very revengeful. He even lost his life!"
"Old man, you don't need to be too polite." Zhu Xun approached, stretched out his hand for a short time, and responded, "I know this matter well, and I will naturally find a way to get the people from the hotel to leave the island. But, I can't let this happen. Let go of the female ghost."
"Master Zhu Xun, that female ghost is extremely vicious, I..."
Zhu Xun understood what he meant, and curled his lips, "To be honest, I should have died once, and there is really nothing to be afraid of."
These words were spoken lightly, but they really touched the hearts of the listeners.Ning Yuezhi and You Wang changed their eyes at the same time, even when they came to Yu Yan who knew little about the past, they also felt a pang of distress for no reason.
Zhu Xun didn't pay attention to the expressions of the three of them, he spread his palms and shouted, "Ji Lan."
The spirit sword placed on the table responded immediately, soaring with a compelling red light, but it landed on his palm obediently, "Squeak——"
"Wait two days and accompany me to kill a ghost, is it okay?" Zhu Xun asked with his fingertips lightly across the sword.
"Squeak!" Ji Lan's eyes became brighter.
Zhu Xun patted the hilt of the sword to show encouragement, and then put it back into the spirit bag.He glanced at the moonlight, and said to the three people who came together, "Shall we go back first? But it may not be easy to walk overnight."
"It's okay, let's go back and rest first." Ning Yuezhi looked calm and took the lead to step out of the stone temple.
Zhu Xun and the old man nodded, and did not forget to give the twin ghost a verbal warning before leaving, "Don't cause trouble for me again, or you will have good fruit to eat!"
"..."
Don't dare to provoke, dare not provoke.
Zhu Xun and his group walked out along the path in the village. Under the bleak moonlight, many 'villagers' were active in their courtyards.When they heard footsteps, they would only slowly turn their iron-blue faces, staring blankly in their direction, and then, reveal a penetrating smile.
Yu Yan followed Zhu Xun and asked in a low voice, "Senior, do you think these villagers still have consciousness?"
The so-called living dead will have their souls sealed forever in an immortal, immortal, and immortal body.And then, day by day, until their consciousness is lost and their souls are gone, but the body/body still maintains its original appearance.
This is a torture thousands of times more painful than death!
"According to what the sorcerer just said, these undead people may have existed for nearly a thousand years." You Wang walked behind and answered. Maintaining the thought of 'surviving' is actually not an easy task."
"Well, these villagers are probably already walking dead." Zhu Xun nodded, but changed his mind in an instant, "But maybe in a corner of this world, there are really people who insist on living with the same idea? After all, Thousands of worlds, full of wonders."
Zhu Xun turned around and walked backwards. He looked at Ning Yuezhi who was walking at the end, and put the topic away with a smile, "Ning Yuezhi, do you think I'm right?"
Hearing the sound, Ning Yuezhi raised his eyes, and fell into his smiling eyes unpreparedly, stunned.
Is there really someone who will live for just one thought?
"Ning Yuezhi? Mr. Ning?" Seeing that he didn't return, Zhu Xun jumped on the spot and shouted repeatedly, "Do you think I'm right?"
"Ah."
After getting his answer, Zhu Xun snorted in a good mood.The next second, he made You Wang's joke again, "You Wang, you've made a dent in the census this time, have you figured out what excuse you'll find when you go back?"
You Wang laughed back, "Not yet, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, I can always figure it out..."
Yu Yan heard the jokes next to his ears, and looked sideways at Ning Yuezhi behind him——only the master himself knew how much bitterness was in that word just now.
……
It was early morning when the group returned to the hotel.Except for a few staff on duty, everyone else has fallen asleep.
Zhu Xun thought for a while, and felt that the matter of outlying islands was not urgent for a while, so he simply said, "Go back and rest first, and I will talk to Manager Sun about it after dawn."
The remaining three people had no objection and nodded one after another.
Zhu Xun left first, and Yu Yan naturally followed behind him.Seeing this, You Wang subconsciously took a step, but before he could take half a step, an invisible spiritual force stopped him.
"..." You Wang noticed the source of spiritual power, looked sideways at others, and said angrily, "Ning Yuezhi, what are you stopping me for?"
"Go back to your own Palace of the King of Hades." Ning Yuezhi was unmoved, but threw the question back, "Could it be possible for him to bother to deal with the living dead in the village?"
You Wang was blocked from speaking, and felt that he was in the wrong, and even his voice was a little softer, "I will send a ghost messenger to deal with it."
After the words fell, the two heard Zhu Xun's message from a distance, "What are you talking about? Aren't you going back to rest?"
"Here we come." Ning Yuezhi responded, walked a few steps, and then stopped suddenly.With his back turned to You Wang, his tone was light and mysterious, "Perhaps, we are going to meet an old friend."
You Wang's eyes suddenly changed, and the hostility around him was released endlessly in the night without people.Every word of the conversation in the stone temple was in his ears, and even in his heart. He clenched his fists involuntarily, and there was imperceptible pain in his cold voice, "... an old friend?"
The night wind blew away the murmur, and in just a moment, You Wang's figure disappeared in place.
……
When Zhu Xun woke up in a daze, the sky was clear.He wrapped himself in the quilt, and unconsciously put his arm to the side, only to bump into something hard.
He squinted his eyes, raised the jade pendant and looked at it, wondering, "Why did it fall out of the Naling bag again?"
- Knock knock.
"Senior, are you awake?"
"Wake up, come in." Zhu Xun got up from the bed with a lazy expression.
Yu Yan got a response, pushed the door open and entered, he saw the jade pendant in Zhu Xun's hand, approached and said, "Senior, have you been looking at this jade pendant since you woke up?"
"As soon as I woke up, this jade pendant came out of the Naling bag and landed beside me." Zhu Xun corrected him.He flexed his body and said strangely, "Since I got this jade pendant, the spiritual power in my body has really stabilized a lot."
Yu Yan had a good idea of the efficacy of this jade pendant, so he had no choice but to follow his words and answer, "Didn't the old man say that this jade pendant is a spiritual object of the three great families..."
Zhu Xun remembered the first nightmare, and his face froze slightly.He stroked the jade pendant, and suddenly had some guesses.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
"I was thinking, since this jade pendant can work for me, maybe I am also one of the children of that family?"
Yu Yan pursed his lips when he heard the words, very solemnly, "Yes."
Zhu Xun smiled lowly, rubbed his head, and said with a smile, "What are you doing so seriously? By the way, where is Mr. Ning?"
"He got up early in the morning, senior, everyone in the hotel has left." Yu Yan talked about the business.
"All gone?" Zhu Xun immediately got up from the bed and walked outside in surprise.Yu Yan walked beside him and said, "Mr. Ning came forward to explain to Manager Sun. I don't know exactly what he said. Anyway, Manager Sun obeyed his orders and organized the hotel staff to pack their things early in the morning. Do the math. It's time, an hour has passed."
As soon as the voice fell, the door was opened.Ning Yuezhi stepped into the house from the outside, "Are you awake?"
"Ah."
"Everyone in the hotel has left. As for You Wang..." Ning Yuezhi paused, thinking of a suitable reason, "Hurrying back to deal with work matters."
I wish to find that the other party has been arranged properly, and my heart moves slightly.He raised his lips habitually, but in the next second, the smile in his eyes suddenly froze, "Mr. Ning, why didn't you leave?"
"Manager Sun is leaving first." Ning Yuezhi responded simply, "Probably because I think I have to deal with this matter like you."
"How can that work?" Zhu Xun frowned, with a thousand worries in his eyes, "Yu Yan has cultivation, but it's too dangerous for you to stay here! Are there any boats at the dock? I'll let Yu Yan I will send you away!"
Just as Ning Yuezhi was about to speak, Yu Yan suddenly shouted eagerly.
"Senior, Mr. Ning, look at the sea level!"

Seeing his sizing up, the ghost seemed to have been touched by the scales suddenly, and the hostility around him suddenly surged.The side head known as Ah Da had a fiery temper, and immediately shouted, "What are you looking at! You don't have a place to talk here!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the voice fell, two invisible spiritual forces rushed towards them one after the other.One increased the intensity of the binding of the ghost whip, and the other simply silenced them.The two brothers were in unbearable pain from being strangled by the ghost whip, but they could only make a muffled sound, unable to speak.
Ning Yue took a step forward, blocked Zhu Xun's view of them with a calm expression, and answered Zhu Xun aloud, "Conjoined twins are a very rare phenomenon of pregnancy."
Zhu Xun frowned when he heard these unfamiliar terms, "...I still don't understand."
This is not to blame for Zhu Xun, his original memory is missing, and he has never encountered this type of conjoined twins in his subconscious mind.What's more, in this modern society where he didn't have much contact with it, there are even more incomprehensible things.
Ning Yuezhi paused, and simply changed to a straightforward way to facilitate his understanding, "The twins were not completely separated in the mother's womb, but they were not discovered in time during pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their bodies, even inside their bodies. Some organs are combined together and cannot be separated. Just like the two brothers Tian and Da now."
"That's how it is." Zhu Xun nodded, with a trace of depression in his eyes, and asked, "...Is it hard to live like this?"
When the two brothers heard this, their expressions suddenly dimmed a bit, and they lowered their eyes in silence.
Shiwu Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and it is more than [-] kilometers away from the nearest land market.In ancient times, the villagers in the village lived by fishing for generations, and had little communication with the outside world.Zhu Xun was also shocked when they first met because of the abnormal physical conditions of the two brothers.What's more, haven't you seen any worldly fishermen on this island?
The old man looked at the two brothers and sighed, "Their mother is a well-known capable woman in the village, and their father is an honest fisherman. The risk of giving birth to twins is very high, let alone the situation of two brothers..."
The woman had a difficult labor without accident, but she guessed that she was pregnant with twins.When she was dying, she ruthlessly forced their husband to disembowel him.Unexpectedly, such a "strange" child was born after the caesarean section, and the husband and the invited Wen Po were frightened and fainted on the spot.
By the time the neighbors noticed something was wrong and arrived, the woman was already dead in a pool of blood.There was a big hole in her stomach, and a conjoined "two-headed monster" lay beside her. They kept their eyes open without crying, and even smiled when they saw the fishermen who were investigating.
When a newborn child smiles, it may be that they are well-behaved and blessed.But what the two brothers bring to others is only the penetrating feeling that goes deep into the bone marrow.
Screams from neighbors drew more villagers.
This matter was spread ten or ten times, and when the fathers of the two brothers woke up, the rumors were out of control.This thing killed its mother when it was born, and it looks weird, it is a disaster from heaven!
No, it's a ghost at all!
"Then how did they survive?" Yu Yan asked.
It is not surprising that there are such rumors in the village, but what is strange is that although the two brothers have died and become ghosts, judging from their body shape after death, they have obviously lived to adulthood.
The old man glanced at him, and fell into memory to explain, "At that time, the wizard in the village was someone else. He hurried over when he heard about it, and threatened in front of many villagers that the two brothers were sent by the sea god. Messenger, if you kill them, you will definitely anger the Sea God. Coincidentally, as soon as these words fell to the ground, the sky that was originally sunny suddenly thundered and thundered."
A wizard spoke before, and then a celestial phenomenon testified.
People in the village are very jealous of the sea god, and even more respect the wizard who can channel the sea god.As a result, no one dared to kill the two brothers immediately.But even so, no one dared to raise them.Even the biological fathers of the two brothers hated and feared him and shunned them.
"At that time, there were many women who had just given birth in the village. The wizard gave an order to let these women take turns to provide breast milk, and he would personally feed the two brothers. When the two brothers grew up and had the ability to take care of themselves, they would be exiled On the nearby deserted island, let them fend for themselves."
After You Wang heard these words, he curled his lips and asked, "So, this wizard is a good person?"
Zhu Xun looked at him and nodded slightly in agreement.At least it sounds like the wizard saved the lives of the two brothers.
"Good guy? I'm bah!" General Ah cursed in his heart and retorted fiercely, "What do you know? He has a beastly face and a duplicity in his appearance. A hundred times is not enough for this kind of person to die!"
The silence order had been released unknowingly, and Ah Tian, who was at the head, heard this, and his face also became ugly.He glanced around, and finally fixed his eyes on Zhu Xun's face, his tone was extremely suppressed anger, "...Zhu Xun, there are not so many good people in this world. He uses us as a cover, just to increase his reputation. The prestige in the hearts of the villagers."
"We will die, it is simply thanks to him."
Zhu Xun's expression was slightly condensed, and the brows were puzzled, "What happened?"
Ning Yuezhi calmly shifted his gaze to the puppet girl, with a dark gleam in his eyes, and asked quietly, "Instead of being entangled in how the two brothers died, it is better to explain clearly the vision in the village first."
After finishing speaking, he fixedly looked at the old man and asked clearly word by word, "What happened to the living dead in the village, the sea sacrifice, the female statue in red, and the sea god and wizard you mentioned just now?" thing?"
"Yes, what's going on in this village?" Zhu Xun put aside his doubts without even thinking about it, and followed Ning Yuezhi's words.
The two brothers have already died and become ghosts, so it is meaningless to ask the bottom line now.But this village full of living dead is different!In case there are hotel tourists who come to visit in the future and come across the vision of this village, wouldn't it be more terrifying than the haunted incident in the hotel?
"It's a long story, and the deaths of the two brothers have something to do with these things." The old man's voice was hoarse, his eyes caught in the memory of the past, "If that's the case, let me start from the beginning."
Zhu Xun looked at Ning Yuezhi, and happened to meet his gaze.Looking at each other, Zhu Xun suddenly smiled and blinked at him.He looked back, pretended to be listening to a story, and said, "Old man, please speak slowly, and we will listen."
Ning Yuezhi retreated slightly and stood in the dark, with a smile hidden in his eyes that no one else could see.
"The currents in the sea around our island are dangerous, but the village has been fishermen for generations, and they have to rely on going out to sea for a living. Since I was born, there has been a saying about the sea god in the village. There is an underwater island hidden ten kilometers east of our island. And there is the place where the sea god lives. The island under the sea will surface every hundred years, and tens of thousands of hectares of sea water will recede to both sides, and a sea channel will be formed in the middle leading to the island."
"Many folk legends are fabricated." Yu Yan was the first to refute.
Among other things, just 'the sea water recedes to form a sea channel' is something that can't be done by manpower.Even if the master exhausted his cultivation, he might not be able to support the opening of a ten-kilometer sea route, right?
Yu Yan meditated in his heart, secretly aiming at Ning Yuezhi from the corner of his eye.
The other party was in a dark place, and there was not much expression on his face, but his usually cold eyes were now terribly deep.It seemed that in the next second, the vortex in the pool of eyes could turn up and devour everything, Yu Yan was taken aback when he saw it.
The old man's reply came again, and he said firmly, "No, I've seen it, it's true. Whenever Sea God Island appears, there will be violent winds and waves in the sea without warning. If the fishermen don't collect their boats in time, they will definitely Will die at the bottom of the sea. Only a lucky few will survive, and that's how the title of wizard in the village comes from."
You Wang on one side seems to have thought of something, and his expression is slightly trembling.
"Oh?" Zhu Xun was obviously aroused by the story, and guessed, "Old man, could it be that the wizards in the village are the survivors of these shipwrecks?"
"Master, I wish you a little insight." The old man nodded, his cloudy eyes seemed to be filled with rare joy, "If you are more specific, the fishermen entered that island and saw the Sea God with their own eyes. Return a life. After returning from Sea God Island, they will naturally have an extra brand on their arms, and even their age will be hundreds of years longer."
After that, he spread his arms.
Looking at the wave-shaped brand, Zhu Xun suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his brain. He subconsciously covered his head and let out a muffled groan.
"senior!"
"Zhu Xun, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Yan and You Wang were immediately distracted and said worriedly.
Ning Yue frowned slightly, silently gave the old man a look, and shook his head slightly.The latter understood, seemed a little guilty, retracted his arm and remained silent.
"I'm fine." Zhu Xun breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that the few people beside him were worried about him, he was a little embarrassed, and explained, "I just feel that this brand is familiar, and it's a little confusing."
Zhu Xun paused, and continued the topic just now, "Old man, according to what you mean, you have also seen Sea God? What does it look like?"
"I was too young at the time, and I fainted from fright after just a quick glance. When I woke up, I had already returned to the village." The old man responded briefly and changed his words to mention another matter, "Before I was born, There are wizards and sea gods in the village. And the sea festival started with the first wizard."
"Because the wizards of all ages said that they were guided by the sea god."
Yu Yan asked, "What guidance?"
"The Sea God needs young women as companions. If he can be chosen by the Sea God, he will be able to enjoy the blessings at the bottom of the sea. Not only that, but the Sea God will also bless the fishermen to sail safely and give them more seafood." The old man paused and added. One thing, "Many villagers didn't believe it at first. The strange thing is that the nearby sea area has been ravaged by heavy rain for several months, and the sea is so stormy that it is impossible to go out to sea..."
Not being able to go to sea means that there is no source of food, and none of the fishermen who were forced to go to sea in order to survive survived.
Going to sea is dead!If you don't go to sea, you will die if you run out of food!
"That is, when everyone was almost desperate, the first wizard proposed the method of sea sacrifice for living people. He also said that the sea god gave him a dream to guide him and selected the daughter of a certain fisherman. The chosen fisherman's family naturally disagreed. , but at that time, the grain reserves in the village will be exhausted..."
Zhu Xun understood in a flash, and snorted disdainfully, "So, the villagers followed this ridiculous instruction?"
Looking for a young woman to keep 'Poseidon' company?They are simply using this excuse to kill people!
The old man sighed and didn't say much.Why doesn't he know what Zhu Xun means?It's a pity that everyone's mouth is enough to make money, and the accumulation is destroyed.How can a family's disapproval be worth the verbal abuse of almost the entire village?
"The woman was forced to put on a red dress, her hands and feet were bound, and she was directly thrown into the bottom of the sea by a small boat." The old man couldn't bear it, but he had to finish the facts, "After that, the wind and rain on the sea stopped, The villagers are more convinced of the wizard's theory and the reality of the sea god."
Zhu Xun put away the sarcasm in his eyes and asked, "Is the red wooden idol made for this woman?"
"It wasn't all done for her alone." Ning Yuezhi, who had been silent all this time, guessed something, and said lightly, "Take a young woman's sea sacrifice, I'm afraid this is more than one case in the village."
The old man was speechless, and his repentant expression was enough to explain everything.Although he had never participated in any sea festival, he still couldn't understand what he was doing.After a long time, he slowly said——
People in the village believe in the sea god more and more, and even the sea sacrifice has become a fixed custom under the guidance of the wizards of the past.The villagers respected and feared this custom, for fear that the dead women would come to revenge after accumulating grievances.So they decided to carve a wooden statue of the dead woman and place it next to the sea god to worship.It's just that these women have different looks, so how can they only draw one face?
Zhu Xunting understood the twists and turns in the middle, and the sarcasm in his eyes reappeared, "It's strange that I have to draw a face, and I don't carve it."
Everyone fell into silence. Yu Yan was the first to break the silence, and asked again, "What else happened? What happened to the living dead in this village?"
The old man glanced past Zhu Xun to the shadow, and then said cautiously, "When I was six years old, hundreds of people came to the village and said that they found out that the water ghosts were raging under our sea area, so they brought their children and Let's practice."
"Aristocratic family? Cultivation?" Zhu Xun's eyes lit up when he heard these two terms.
Yu Yan on one side seemed to understand something, quickly glanced at Ning Yuezhi, and said first, "Senior, I heard that there were three great families of cultivating immortals thousands of years ago, and there were countless disciples under them. From feng shui to catch ghosts, to foundation building cultivation, There are strategies involved. The three major families will hold a trial meeting every five years, with the participation of their disciples. As for the location of the trial meeting..."
"It will be selected and held by the three major families in turn, and each time will last for five days." Zhu Xun lowered his eyes and took Yu Yan's words leisurely.
Yu Yan was surprised for a moment, then suppressed his expression, "Senior, do you know about this?"
"Hearing your words, I just instinctively remembered something." Zhu Xun pretended to be indifferent, suppressing the confusion and helplessness in his eyes.
His memory is like a thick fog shrouded in fog.Occasionally, the whisper is like a breeze, and you can see the sporadic content under the mist as soon as it blows.But more often, no matter how he thinks or looks, the fog is still the fog.
The old man nodded and continued to state the facts.
"These seemingly high-ranking families made the villagers instinctively afraid. Therefore, the old wizard at that time ordered the whole village to keep silent about the sea festival. He even threatened that if the outside world knew about it, the whole village would have to was taken to be beheaded."
Under such a solemn statement, the villagers became more and more tight-lipped.
"Those aristocratic families came on big ships. They seemed to be afraid of disturbing us, so they only sent a few young people to the island. It is difficult for people who have never lived in this sea area to find out the direction, so they hired ten Yuming fishermen on the island act as guides..."
Fishermen who become guides not only have the escort of the children of the family, but also get a lot of fresh meat and money, so many people rush to this job.
"My father was lucky to be one of the several guides. At that time, I was still young, and I was crying and ignorantly going to follow the boat." Looking at the flickering candle, the old man seemed to be completely immersed in the past. Recalling, "There is a big brother... no, it is a young and promising son of a family who thinks I am interesting, so he allows my father to take me on board."
For the first three days, the sea was calm.The family's trial meeting went smoothly, and many ghosts in the sea were captured and refined... But on the fourth day, something unexpected happened!
The sea area that was originally calm suddenly became violent.In the blink of an eye, all the ships were overturned and sank into the sea.
Zhu Xun frowned upon hearing the words.Based on what the old man said before, he guessed, "Is it the Sea God Island that appeared once in a hundred years, and was met by the children of the aristocratic family?"
"It hasn't been 100 years yet, but it is also related to Sea God Island. I guess, the experience of the children of the aristocratic family probably alarmed Sea God." The old man moved his eyes and looked at Zhu Xun, "I fell into the deep sea. The son who took me on board hugged me. Later, we were thrown into a strange island by huge waves."
This strange island naturally refers to Sea God Island.
"I was so young that I couldn't help being scared, and I had a high fever all the time. I vaguely remembered that there was a terrible thing on the island. When I woke up again, I had already returned home, and there was a brand on my arm. "
The twin-body ghost who had been silent for a long time finally spoke at the right time, "I remember that in that accident, countless disciples of the aristocratic family were killed and injured. For several days in a row, people could be seen salvaging from a distance on the sea."
Zhu Xun looked back and asked, "Where were you two brothers at that time?"
"It's on a deserted island nearby." The leader, A-Tian, paused and said in a muffled voice.The deserted island and the stone house island looked very close, but the old wizard deliberately didn't give them a boat, and trapped them on the island in disguise.
"We also rescued a girl. Her brain was hit and she couldn't think of anything after waking up. Miss Alan couldn't understand water. After the initial fear, she could only accept the fact."
"Alan?" You Wang, who was originally casual, heard the name, his eyes changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it Shan Fenglan's word Lan?"
Brother Tian and Big Brother didn't dare to make trouble in front of him, and nodded truthfully, "Miss Alan carries a jade pendant with the word He Lan written on it. We are illiterate, and she taught us the name herself."
Bang.
The kerosene lamp that was very close to You Wang suddenly fell to the ground, sparking a cluster of sparks.
Zhu Xun waved his spiritual power to extinguish it, his eyes flickered slightly, and he asked again, "You Wang, are you okay?"
"It's okay. My legs are a little sore after sitting for a long time. I'll stand up for a while." You Wang got up and smiled at Zhu Xun.But when he turned his back to him, his smile suddenly dissipated, and there were countless murderous auras in his eyes, and he was about to lose his grip.
Ning Yuezhi saw his emotions clearly, and asked questions to divert everyone's attention, "What happened later?"
"Miss Alan has to be more optimistic by nature, she is not afraid of us, and she will even take the initiative to help us with many things." Ah Tian spoke slowly, with a rare strong and gentle tone in his hoarse voice.
Even Ah Da, who was looking sideways at the side, softened a bit.
The two of them have been stared at since they were born, and only the girl He Lan treats them as ordinary people.The two brothers understood that although she lost her memory, she would always remember it one day, and she would go back to the place that belonged to her.
Therefore, the two began to plan to cut wood and build a ship, so that Alan could be sent to Shiwu Island, and then seek help from the fishermen on the island.It's a pity that they waited for the old wizard to arrive before the boat was built.
"He was very surprised when he saw Miss Alan. We thought of his life-saving grace, and told the whole story. Who knows that he is a devil in a good man's skin!" Ada said viciously, and then turned into hatred. Meaning, "He brought us back to Shiwu Island together, but secretly wanted to do something wrong with Miss Alan! We beat him seriously, and originally wanted to take Miss Alan away overnight..."
"But he was furious, and he was afraid that what he had done would be exposed. He actually called the fishermen to fight back first - saying that he was guided by the sea god and wanted to sacrifice Miss Alan to the sea!"
On one side is a respected old wizard, and on the other side is a brother who is regarded as a ghost and a girl who has never met before. The result of the confrontation between the two sides can be imagined-Alan was forced to sacrifice at sea, and the two brothers were also forced to tie their hands and feet together. thrown into the sea.
"We failed to protect Miss Alan, we killed her!" The faces of the two brothers showed intense bitterness.
The old man shook his head regretfully, and took over from the silent brothers, "After that, the old wizard died of his injuries, and I became the new wizard. This peaceful life was only three years, and one day a huge wave suddenly surged on the bottom of the sea, A red-clothed female ghost with her face covered broke out of the water and transformed the whole village into this appearance with a snap of her fingers."
"It was she who destroyed all the plaques of the Sea God in the village, leaving only the wooden idols in red. She cast a spell to hang my life, and made me guard the living dead in the whole village, and worship her day and night..." Since then, the sea ghost in red will go to sea once every hundred years.Randomly plunder the living dead in the village and completely destroy their bodies and souls to vent their anger.
The old man got up tremblingly and walked out of the stone temple.He looked at the endless sea in the distance, "This year, it happens to be the tenth century. After the stone house hotel is built, I'm afraid that those innocent people will be involved in this disaster, so..."
"So, you let the two brothers intentionally create visions to scare away the tourists and staff?"
Zhu Xun got up immediately, and after talking for so long, he finally figured out all the causes and effects.
"Is that female ghost in red the girl Alan you speak of?" You Wang turned around and asked.
"I'm not sure, but it must be one of the women who were sacrificed by the sea before. We all recognize the pattern of the red uniform on her body." A Tian answered, he paused for a few seconds, and then murmured, "I hope it is Ah Tian Miss Lan, at least, she still lives in this world in another way."
It is said that devout offerings can be passed on to the ghosts and gods being worshipped.
The two brothers regarded the female ghost under the sea as Alan, so they worshiped the wooden idol in the temple with great devotion for hundreds of years.Even the strands of hair on the puppets are carefully carved by them.
Knowing the true intentions of the two brothers, Zhu Xun waved back the ghost-binding whip and raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you tell me the truth? Why do you need to make such a fuss?"
"It's you who must know the truth. I told you not to meddle in your own business." The two brothers got up from the ground, and Ah Da immediately retorted unconvinced, "We didn't intend to harm anyone from the beginning to the end! At most I want to teach you a lesson."
"Hey, I made a mistake." Zhu Xun clasped his arms around his chest and shook his head, "It was I who taught you a lesson the other way around."
He could tell that even if they were conjoined twin brothers, Ah Tian and Ah Da had completely different personalities.One is calm and the other is violent.They don't know the way of cultivation, but after living in the world for a long time, the level of cultivation appears higher.
"Don't think you have..." The helper can do whatever he wants!
Before Ah Da finished speaking, he was silently silenced by another spiritual force.
Ah Tian, who was still sane, glanced at Ning Yuezhi and You Wang who were beside him, not daring to do anything wrong - and he didn't know who these two people were?You don't even need to use your hands to teach them a lesson.It's better for them to avoid provoking such a hidden character.
Ada sensed what his brother was thinking, so he simply shut up.
Come on, you can't afford to provoke and you can't hide!
Zhu Xun stepped forward, blinked his eyes, and said, "I'm so angry that I don't pay for my life", "Why don't you talk? Are you scared?"
Ah Da, who was secretly silenced: "..." I'm so angry, but I can't say it.
Seeing his deflated reaction, Zhu Xun smiled.He put away his lip service and asked about something serious, "Old man, no, it's Wizard Hu. You said that the female ghost in red comes out once every 100 years. On what day does it come out?"
"It's coming soon." The old man turned around and announced the time seriously, "The end of June and the beginning of July in the lunar calendar."
A hundred years of reincarnation, half a year's boundary.
Yu Yan counted the days and asked in surprise, "How many days have you been?"
"That's right." The old man responded, with even more worry between his brows, "My brother, I, and the villagers in the village, had no choice but to wish to die. But those people outside are different from us, they are innocent and ignorant Yes. The two brothers tried their best and failed to drive them all away..."
The old man looked around at the crowd and bowed respectfully Zhu Xun, "Master Zhu Xun, I beg you to help me find an excuse to let them leave the island temporarily. The female ghost at the bottom of the sea is very revengeful. He even lost his life!"
"Old man, you don't need to be too polite." Zhu Xun approached, stretched out his hand for a short time, and responded, "I know this matter well, and I will naturally find a way to get the people from the hotel to leave the island. But, I can't let this happen. Let go of the female ghost."
"Master Zhu Xun, that female ghost is extremely vicious, I..."
Zhu Xun understood what he meant, and curled his lips, "To be honest, I should have died once, and there is really nothing to be afraid of."
These words were spoken lightly, but they really touched the hearts of the listeners.Ning Yuezhi and You Wang changed their eyes at the same time, even when they came to Yu Yan who knew little about the past, they also felt a pang of distress for no reason.
Zhu Xun didn't pay attention to the expressions of the three of them, he spread his palms and shouted, "Ji Lan."
The spirit sword placed on the table responded immediately, soaring with a compelling red light, but it landed on his palm obediently, "Squeak——"
"Wait two days and accompany me to kill a ghost, is it okay?" Zhu Xun asked with his fingertips lightly across the sword.
"Squeak!" Ji Lan's eyes became brighter.
Zhu Xun patted the hilt of the sword to show encouragement, and then put it back into the spirit bag.He glanced at the moonlight, and said to the three people who came together, "Shall we go back first? But it may not be easy to walk overnight."
"It's okay, let's go back and rest first." Ning Yuezhi looked calm and took the lead to step out of the stone temple.
Zhu Xun and the old man nodded, and did not forget to give the twin ghost a verbal warning before leaving, "Don't cause trouble for me again, or you will have good fruit to eat!"
"..."
Don't dare to provoke, dare not provoke.
Zhu Xun and his group walked out along the path in the village. Under the bleak moonlight, many 'villagers' were active in their courtyards.When they heard footsteps, they would only slowly turn their iron-blue faces, staring blankly in their direction, and then, reveal a penetrating smile.
Yu Yan followed Zhu Xun and asked in a low voice, "Senior, do you think these villagers still have consciousness?"
The so-called living dead will have their souls sealed forever in an immortal, immortal, and immortal body.And then, day by day, until their consciousness is lost and their souls are gone, but the body/body still maintains its original appearance.
This is a torture thousands of times more painful than death!
"According to what the sorcerer just said, these undead people may have existed for nearly a thousand years." You Wang walked behind and answered. Maintaining the thought of 'surviving' is actually not an easy task."
"Well, these villagers are probably already walking dead." Zhu Xun nodded, but changed his mind in an instant, "But maybe in a corner of this world, there are really people who insist on living with the same idea? After all, Thousands of worlds, full of wonders."
Zhu Xun turned around and walked backwards. He looked at Ning Yuezhi who was walking at the end, and put the topic away with a smile, "Ning Yuezhi, do you think I'm right?"
Hearing the sound, Ning Yuezhi raised his eyes, and fell into his smiling eyes unpreparedly, stunned.
Is there really someone who will live for just one thought?
"Ning Yuezhi? Mr. Ning?" Seeing that he didn't return, Zhu Xun jumped on the spot and shouted repeatedly, "Do you think I'm right?"
"Ah."
After getting his answer, Zhu Xun snorted in a good mood.The next second, he made You Wang's joke again, "You Wang, you've made a dent in the census this time, have you figured out what excuse you'll find when you go back?"
You Wang laughed back, "Not yet, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, I can always figure it out..."
Yu Yan heard the jokes next to his ears, and looked sideways at Ning Yuezhi behind him——only the master himself knew how much bitterness was in that word just now.
……
It was early morning when the group returned to the hotel.Except for a few staff on duty, everyone else has fallen asleep.
Zhu Xun thought for a while, and felt that the matter of outlying islands was not urgent for a while, so he simply said, "Go back and rest first, and I will talk to Manager Sun about it after dawn."
The remaining three people had no objection and nodded one after another.
Zhu Xun left first, and Yu Yan naturally followed behind him.Seeing this, You Wang subconsciously took a step, but before he could take half a step, an invisible spiritual force stopped him.
"..." You Wang noticed the source of spiritual power, looked sideways at others, and said angrily, "Ning Yuezhi, what are you stopping me for?"
"Go back to your own Palace of the King of Hades." Ning Yuezhi was unmoved, but threw the question back, "Could it be possible for him to bother to deal with the living dead in the village?"
You Wang was blocked from speaking, and felt that he was in the wrong, and even his voice was a little softer, "I will send a ghost messenger to deal with it."
After the words fell, the two heard Zhu Xun's message from a distance, "What are you talking about? Aren't you going back to rest?"
"Here we come." Ning Yuezhi responded, walked a few steps, and then stopped suddenly.With his back turned to You Wang, his tone was light and mysterious, "Perhaps, we are going to meet an old friend."
You Wang's eyes suddenly changed, and the hostility around him was released endlessly in the night without people.Every word of the conversation in the stone temple was in his ears, and even in his heart. He clenched his fists involuntarily, and there was imperceptible pain in his cold voice, "... an old friend?"
The night wind blew away the murmur, and in just a moment, You Wang's figure disappeared in place.
……
When Zhu Xun woke up in a daze, the sky was clear.He wrapped himself in the quilt, and unconsciously put his arm to the side, only to bump into something hard.
He squinted his eyes, raised the jade pendant and looked at it, wondering, "Why did it fall out of the Naling bag again?"
- Knock knock.
"Senior, are you awake?"
"Wake up, come in." Zhu Xun got up from the bed with a lazy expression.
Yu Yan got a response, pushed the door open and entered, he saw the jade pendant in Zhu Xun's hand, approached and said, "Senior, have you been looking at this jade pendant since you woke up?"
"As soon as I woke up, this jade pendant came out of the Naling bag and landed beside me." Zhu Xun corrected him.He flexed his body and said strangely, "Since I got this jade pendant, the spiritual power in my body has really stabilized a lot."
Yu Yan had a good idea of the efficacy of this jade pendant, so he had no choice but to follow his words and answer, "Didn't the old man say that this jade pendant is a spiritual object of the three great families..."
Zhu Xun remembered the first nightmare, and his face froze slightly.He stroked the jade pendant, and suddenly had some guesses.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
"I was thinking, since this jade pendant can work for me, maybe I am also one of the children of that family?"
Yu Yan pursed his lips when he heard the words, very solemnly, "Yes."
Zhu Xun smiled lowly, rubbed his head, and said with a smile, "What are you doing so seriously? By the way, where is Mr. Ning?"
"He got up early in the morning, senior, everyone in the hotel has left." Yu Yan talked about the business.
"All gone?" Zhu Xun immediately got up from the bed and walked outside in surprise.Yu Yan walked beside him and said, "Mr. Ning came forward to explain to Manager Sun. I don't know exactly what he said. Anyway, Manager Sun obeyed his orders and organized the hotel staff to pack their things early in the morning. Do the math. It's time, an hour has passed."
As soon as the voice fell, the door was opened.Ning Yuezhi stepped into the house from the outside, "Are you awake?"
"Ah."
"Everyone in the hotel has left. As for You Wang..." Ning Yuezhi paused, thinking of a suitable reason, "Hurrying back to deal with work matters."
I wish to find that the other party has been arranged properly, and my heart moves slightly.He raised his lips habitually, but in the next second, the smile in his eyes suddenly froze, "Mr. Ning, why didn't you leave?"
"Manager Sun is leaving first." Ning Yuezhi responded simply, "Probably because I think I have to deal with this matter like you."
"How can that work?" Zhu Xun frowned, with a thousand worries in his eyes, "Yu Yan has cultivation, but it's too dangerous for you to stay here! Are there any boats at the dock? I'll let Yu Yan I will send you away!"
Just as Ning Yuezhi was about to speak, Yu Yan suddenly shouted eagerly.
"Senior, Mr. Ning, look at the sea level!"
