Chapter 48: Dragon Pond and Tiger Lair(1/2)
I shook my head slightly.
It's not really a discovery. I just feel that there is a dark hand behind the scenes that has been pushing things forward.
And we were brought to this place by the driver for no reason, and it was obviously not for the so-called dirty money.
"Is it the rockery god who took away little Muyang?" I couldn't help but ask.
After a while, Liu Yiran said to me: "No, I think it was the dark figure that appeared in your house before. It was a male voice. The voice was very unpleasant. It was definitely not the rock god who fought with Bai Zimo at that time."
I remembered that when I discovered that Bai Zimo was missing that day, I saw a black figure coming out of my house, and his voice was indeed very unpleasant, as if there was something stuck in his throat.
He couldn't help but look at Liu Yiran: "Have you seen the dark figure that appeared in my house?"
Liu Yiran nodded.
It turned out that they felt something unusual approaching, so Bai Zimo deliberately asked Liu Yiran to leave.
Liu Yiran observed secretly, and when he noticed something was wrong and came back, it was already too late.
At that time, Bai Zimo suddenly disappeared, and I was stared at by a dark shadow.
In order to protect me, Liu Yiran had no choice but to send me to the ancestral hall first, and then he turned back to find Bai Zimo.
But at that time, he felt that Bai Zimo's aura was already very weak.
He knew that Bai Zimo would not be able to feel Bai Zimo until he entered the lowest level of the ancestral hall, but there were clearly restrictions down there, so how did Bai Zimo get in.
If someone hadn't deliberately lured him away, Bai Zimo wouldn't have been able to go in by himself.
But he knew better that with Bai Zimo's ability, there was no way he could be forced unless he volunteered.
Therefore, when he learned that Bai Zimo had been separated from me, he told me not to save Bai Zimo.
He also wanted to see what Bai Zimo wanted to do.
But I finally solved the following restrictions, which resulted in a series of consequences.
It was at that time that the black shadow appeared again and took away the child that the village chief had thrown into the lake for sacrifice.
After Liu Yiran handed me over to Master Mu, he went after the black shadow. Although he didn't agree with the sacrifice, he couldn't just watch the black shadow take the child away.
Then, he pointed in a direction outside the window and said, "I chased that black shadow until I got there."
I was so surprised that I immediately stood up and looked out the window. There was a cemetery there, with tombstones everywhere, and some of the tombstones were decorated with white flowers hanging from the Qingming tomb sweepers.
Thinking that this place is a ghost shop, and that it is said to contain the souls of innocent people, I couldn't help but clench my heart tightly.
I always feel like there is a dark shadow lingering in my mind.
"It's strange to say that although the black shadow fought with me, it didn't use its full strength. It seemed that it just wanted to trap me. Moreover, at the last moment, it even threw the child out and asked me to take the child to find you!"
Weird, so weird.
The village chief said that the child was put into the formation pool as a sacrifice.
So this shadow took away the child to destroy the sacrifice?
Since the sacrifice had been destroyed, why did Liu Yiran have to come back with the child?
I really can't figure it out.
Although I had previously suspected that these shadows had their own purposes and were not all from the group of rock gods, what was their purpose in destroying the sacrifice?
Could this sacrifice be related to Bai Zimo's awakening?
Don't dare to think about it.
A black shadow can trap Liu Yiran, a thousand-year-old snake demon, for an entire night. So if more appear, how can we defeat them?
What's more, until now, I don't even know anything about the other party's situation.
Thinking back then, I was still thinking of using a peach stone to calm him down, and now I feel chills running down my back.
No wonder the dark shadow said I was overestimating my abilities.
What Liu Yiran said next surprised me even more.
He told me that after we got in the car yesterday, he had been following us and never left.
But in the middle of the night, he felt something was wrong. When he wanted to get in the car to take a look, he found that the car suddenly stopped on its own.
When Wang Lexin asked why he stopped the car, the driver only replied that he was tired and had a rest, and told him that there was a small hotel in front of him, and then left. The people in the car also got out of the car and disappeared in an instant.
He is a thousand-year-old snake monster and has never seen anything like it, but this time, he didn't see the trick either.
So I searched around based on my feeling, hoping to find some clues.
But when he came back, he found that the three of us had left the car and disappeared.
I looked at him with a stunned expression: "You mean, everyone who was in the same car with us disappeared out of thin air?"
Looking at my surprised expression, Liu Yiran explained: "Yes, they just disappeared out of thin air. They are not human at all!"
not human?
How can it be?
We took the bus in the evening. Although we did not enter the station to buy tickets, the bus did leave from the station at that time.
And everyone was talking and laughing along the way, and there was nothing unusual.
There was also an enthusiastic aunt who exchanged seats with Wang Lexin.
If they are not human, I can't feel it. Wang Lexin must be able to feel it, and Liu Yiran himself is following us, how come he doesn't notice at all.
"Impossible, you followed me all the way and you don't know whether it's a human or a ghost?" I asked in a deep voice.
Liu Yiran shook his head: "The strange thing is that those ghosts have no yin energy at all, and it was night, so I couldn't detect them. But I chased them to the cemetery and saw them again. It felt like they were returning.
Just like home!”
I couldn't help but feel creepy.
Things are getting more and more confusing, beyond my understanding, and I really can't explain them.
Are there really ghosts in this world?
And there are ghosts that even the thousand-year-old snake demon can’t distinguish?
"Liu Yiran, is it because you are too good?" I asked unwillingly.
"Cai?" Liu Yiran looked at me inexplicably: "What is a vegetable? I am a black-shaded snake, not a cauliflower snake!"
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him: "I mean you are too weak, you can't even tell the difference between ghosts!"
"Humph, I'm afraid they are not ghosts!" Liu Yiran looked sideways at me: "Do you know the puppetry technique?"
"Puppetry?" I have never heard of this thing. Li Yuetong told me some weird things before after reading novels, but I have never heard of this technique.
"I suspect that those are unknown objects controlled by magic. They are not people or ghosts! And I know that the one who can control these is puppetry!"
If there really was someone in this world who knew such a technique, then I'm afraid a lot of things would go wrong.
After so many years of study, I believe in science, but recent events have made me question life again.
In the middle of the night, a car full of unknown objects brought us here, and this place has the same seal as Yunjia Village. These sealed souls are closely related to the vision I had when I was born eighteen years ago.
I'd be stupid if I couldn't put these things together.
Obviously, this matter was directed at Bai Zimo again.
"You said that the black shadow brought you here before, and this car brought me here, was it for us to discover this place and unlock the seal below?"
Seeing me asking this, Liu Yiran also nodded: "It's very possible, but why do they have to break the seal? What benefits can they get from those innocent souls coming out?"
"Also, that grandma said that the person who sealed them was a woman. Could it be that the person who wants to break the seal and the woman are opposites?"
All I know now is that someone deliberately led me here to break the seal, but I don't know what the consequences will be after breaking the seal.
The scene of those innocent souls scattering out when the seal under the ancestral hall was released is still vivid in my mind.
If I do it again tonight, I'm afraid I won't have such good luck.
After all, Master Mu is not here this time.
I'm afraid Wang Lexin, that half-assed person, is unreliable.
But if we ignore this matter, grandma's family will be trapped here forever, which is not an option.
"Do you think these innocent souls trapped in the seal are a cover-up? Maybe the real sealed things are related to Bai Zimo?"
An idea flashed in my mind, and I just said what I was thinking.
Liu Yiran showed his two cute little tiger teeth and smiled at me: "You finally came to your senses?"
I really want to scold him for not telling me when he knew this was happening and just letting me make wild guesses.
But you still have to rely on his help at night, and I don’t feel embarrassed to scold you.
If the things sealed here are really related to Bai Zimo, then unlocking the seal will also help Bai Zimo recover?
Thinking of this, my interest suddenly rose.
It seems that tonight will be another sleepless night...
To be continued...
