Chapter 233 Revisiting the Old Place
Ye Ku knew that this amulet was given by Wang Mei, and Wang Mei also told him that this talisman was obtained from Ning'an, so he naturally could not forget it, but he took it out on purpose.
It is still half true and half true, words are true, things are "fake".
Grandma Kui took the talisman over, looked at it for a while, and asked casually: "This thing is indeed done by myself, where did you get it?"
Ye Ku smiled and said, "It was given to me by a friend when he was in Ning'an. That friend is doing well in Ning'an's army now." As he said that, he took out the half-carved little man and continued, "This was also given to me by him, saying that he would give me a souvenir."
Ye Ku had actually hesitated for a while whether to take out this little wood carving. He knew very little about the wood carving from Hongxianlou, and did not know if there was anything serious behind it.
Since that night, the half-carved little man has never had any strangeness. He even used the moon to see the mystery again. However, no matter how much he did, no matter how much moonlight fell in the groove, the pictures of the astronomical phenomena and the moonlight condensed into the ground have never appeared again.
"This thing was painted by me the day before yesterday. I did it casually. I was bored and just passed the time. Later, someone came to ask for a lot of things, saying that I wanted to bring it to my relatives and friends. I was kind-hearted, so I gave up this old bone and drew a lot."
Grandma Kui returned the amulet to Ye Ku, but only said about asking for the talisman to draw the talisman. She did not mention the secrets and stories behind the talisman. The person who brought the amulet to the army had already been killed by Wang Mei on the charge of "confusing the morale of the army."
"As for this thing..." Grandma Kui looked at the half-carved wooden man in Ye Kui's hand and said indifferently: "This thing is pretty good, but I'm a clumsy old woman. Apart from the talisman, there is nothing to show off."
"Senior, what are you talking about?"
Ye Ku listened carefully, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said with a light "Huh" and said strangely: "By the way, mother-in-law, Wen Qin also said that you have been in the Quping for a while."
Grandma Kui responded and said unevenly: "It seems that you are very good between Qin'er, and she is willing to tell you everything."
Ye Ku didn't care about her tone and said, "I showed her a piece of yellow talisman paper and happened to talk about it again. Wen Qin told me."
"Yellow Talisman Paper" Grandma Kui's old eyes flashed, "The old woman has drawn countless talismans throughout her life, some people seeking money, some people drive away illness, and some people save their lives, but she just doesn't like to use yellow paper to draw talismans. This color is unlucky, unlucky."
After saying that, she seemed to feel that she had said a little too much and was impatient, and urged, "You go out first, wait for me outside for a while. The old woman has said too much, and she wants to be alone here for a while." Finally, she said, "When people are old, they must believe in some things, and if they don't believe in them, you must believe in them. If you go outside and wait a while, I will come out, and we will set off together."
Although Ye Ku didn't know which road this "road" was going, as long as it was not the way to the underworld, it would be a big step.
"Squeak"
When he stepped out of the small temple, the dilapidated door closed by himself. After thinking about it, Ye Ku gave up his thoughts of seeing the truth. After all, this old woman was a god-transforming realm and even a person above her. She discovered that it was not beautiful.
Ye Ku stood outside the ancient temple, looking at the two dilapidated portals. He looked up and saw the bright moon hanging in the sky, as it was a while ago.
The grandmother Kui didn't know what she was doing alone. Ye Ku always felt that the old woman was talking nonsense and had a clear understanding of the sacrifice and worship. She seemed to have a close relationship with Wen Qin. Whenever she talked about the word "Qin'er", she would show a bit of true nature. But for some reason, Ye Ku always felt that this "truth" of this kind was not in the bottom of her heart. She didn't know whether it was just targeting him or "Qin'er".
Ye Ku vaguely felt that the old woman was right to "Qin'er", but she was not so enthusiastic about herself. At least from beginning to end, Grandma Kui had never asked her name.
"Nothing has changed. Could this old woman really be chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha's name?"
The night wind was cool. After a long time, there was no sound from the small temple. The bright yellow fire did not shake or even saw half of the figure. It was silent. Ye Ku had an illusion that the temple seemed to have been dug out of the map and was also dug out of his eyes.
"Che"
A very slight sound was almost inaudible. Ye Ku immediately widened his eyes. In the small temple, there were two figures of little people!
Although the moon was white and the sky was hanging at the right time, the bright moonlight did not care about the place. The wind was quiet and the night was slight. The two little people appeared suddenly like the stickers on the doors of ordinary people, embedded in the left and right frames on the door.
It was like a donkey shadow play. The two villains seemed to be muttering and dancing. The arms and calves, made of animal skins and cardboard, were inevitably stiff, and they were like drum beats, hitting the viewer's heart.
This scene was so strange that everything was still silent. In the door frame, the two little people raised their hands, paused their feet, and raised their heads, as if they had been swallowing for thousands of years, so they couldn't make a sound.
Ye Ku's heart was terrified, and goose bumps came out layer by layer, and cold sweat soaked his vest. When he saw the pair of golden and jade boys transformed from talismans in Wenqinyuan, he didn't feel anything, but now he saw such a scene late at night, it was really scary.
"Young man, let's go, it's been delayed for a lot of time."
Grandma Kui's half-breaking bellows sounded in her ears, and Ye Ku came back to her senses in an instant. In a blink of an eye, Grandma Kui had left the ancient temple and was waiting for him not far away, "Why don't you keep up?"
"Evil, this old witch."
Ye Ku smoothed the wind and waves in the soul sea and followed quickly. When he got closer, he realized that the cloth bag behind Grandma Kui was gone and she no longer looked hunched.
Only the strange shadow puppet just now covered Ye Ku's heart with an indelible haze. He glanced back without a trace and saw that the fire in the small temple had gone out, and the door was tightly closed, just like he was when he came.
Grandma Kui took Ye Kui and left the ancient temple, but she was not in the world. She only walked among the mountains and ridges. The two of them said little. The old woman didn't speak, and Ye Ku didn't dare to ask too much, because she thought that this grandma had a strange temperament, and if she talked too much, she would inevitably lose something.
It was dark at the right time, and walking in the mountains was easy to get lost. Grandma Kui had a strong agility that was inconsistent with her old body. She was as shaped like a flying figure. Ye Ku was careful to show that she was weak and would always pretend to be weak and lacked feet. She deliberately slowed down and hung behind her.
At first, Grandma Kui was too anxious to snatch the ground, and Ye Ku deliberately slowed down again, not entering the air, nor using the five elements to control the spiritual consciousness. He was once left behind. He had not seen anyone for a long time. After walking for a while, he saw Grandma Kui stopping in place and waiting for him.
The old woman seemed a little dissatisfied with his "slowness", but she didn't say much, but since then, the old woman has controlled the speed and has been much slower.
The more he left, the more Ye Ku felt in his heart that the old woman seemed to deliberately make herself dizzy so that she could not tell the direction, so she could only follow her in the end.
What this old woman didn't know was that Ye Ku owned a map in Quping Mountain. The things left by Wang Chuqing really helped him a lot, but at this moment it was pitch black around him, so he could only identify a general direction.
"Hope is my illusion. There must be some love between this old lady and Wen Qin, and there is no reason to deal with me."
Before he knew it, one night passed, and it was the time when sunrise in the east, and when everything woke up, Ye Ku felt that he had been missing from the sun for a long time, and for a moment, he felt strange.
"Mother-in-law, where are we going?"
Bai Bai was wandering in the mountains all night. If Ye Ku didn't ask, it would seem a bit abnormal. He didn't have the interest to wander in the mountains with an old woman.
Ye Ku remembered that when he did this last time, he was with Shangguan Xuanqing, and he was also in this Quping Mountain, speaking softly and smelling the faint fragrance. Although Shangguan Xuanqing was angry at that time and had no good expression for him to show him, the taste was always incomparable.
He thought that Grandma Kui would not say anything to him, but he didn't expect the old woman to be out of place.
"Let's go and take a look first. I'm always worried if I don't see some things with my own eyes." Grandma Kui paused, as if she was calculating something, and said again: "It's almost here, young people are always so anxious."
Ye Ku only thought it was a perfunctory word, but he didn't expect that after a while, Grandma Kui really slowed down. After passing the mountain screen ahead, looking around, the scene only made Ye Ku feel familiar.
Unlike the lush scene of the surrounding woods, there was only a large piece of land in front of us for no reason. There were no wooden stakes left after the trees were cut down, nor did there be green and lush turf, like a scar on the ground.
"This is... a quarry!"
The view that reached his eyes evoked Ye Ku's memory. He suddenly remembered that this was the place where the workers who mined the flint stones lived before, but at this time there was no stone house and no stones all over the ground. It seemed that someone had cleaned up after the tide of little beasts.
"What's wrong?" Even though it was only a moment, Ye Ku's slight change in his expression still couldn't escape Grandma Kui's eyes.
