When Han Yu and Han Yu passed by a grocery store, they saw an old man packing things and preparing to sharpen things. Ruoshui was puzzled when he saw it, and motioned to Han Yu to come forward and ask.
"Old man, why is Xianzhen so anxious to close the store? Has it always been like this?" Han Yu was puzzled and walked up to ask face to face.
"Oh, your guest has come all the way, right? If you want to say why, it's not a secret. In any fairy town, there are always many secrets that no one should enter, and this is the time of secrets in Fairy Town." The old man said.
said.
"I would like to hear the details!" Han Yu said.
"Every time after the Ghost Festival, Xianzhen changes its customs and rules. No one goes out on the streets after seven o'clock to ward off evil spirits." The old man said.
"Oh, is there any precedent? Or is it a tradition passed down in ancient times in this fairy town?" Ruoshui asked strangely.
"It is not allowed to open business during this period. It is passed down by the Immortal from the Immortal Mountain. And we don't dare to violate it, because most of the people who violate it will not end well. It is said that the Immortal will also fall during this period." The old man.
What he said made Han Yu even more confused, but also aroused the interest of the two.
"Old man, there is nothing to take care of, but the season is coming, and the door must be locked as soon as possible. You two may wish to follow me to the inner room to have a cup of tea. If you like anything during the period, you can take care of the old man's business, and if you don't like it, you can also have a good time with the guests.
It's a matter of official acquaintance, let's talk about old things." The old man looked at the sky and said to the two of them.
"That's fine. We have nowhere to live, so we can hide with the old man." Han Yu said, carrying Ruoshui into it.
Although this shop is small, it is full of all kinds of sundries. Even in the dim light, you can see all kinds of strange things clearly. Although it is not as strange as when Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, it still feels very novel.
It was the first time for Han Yu to walk in this alien market, and for Ruoshui, who had been cultivating for many years, it was the first time for the two of them to meet each other. Although they had spent a day in the town, this was the first time for them to see a small shop like this.
For a while, the two of them were not worried about what the old man was talking about, and looked left and right in the small shop.
"Cough." The two of them heard the old man's cough and thought it was the old man's signal. They both turned to look at the old man and felt that it was inappropriate, so they remained silent and embarrassed.
"Oh, I apologize for being so rude to you two," the old man said.
"It's okay, we are still waiting for the old man to tell the legend of the town." Ruoshui said.
"Hey, by the way, old man, are you the only one in such a big shop? Where are your children and aunt?" Han Yu asked. Ruoshui just discovered that the old man's house was very empty, and there was nothing in it, as if he was lonely.
The place is average.
The old man's face darkened, but he immediately relaxed and said: "Once it's past seven o'clock, if you walk or swim outside, your life will be in danger. My family is also the most unlucky. The child went out to buy goods that day.
I went far away and never came back."
The two of them knew that the sad past of the old man was touched upon, so they both held their breaths and listened to the old man's words.
"As for my wife, she went out at eight o'clock that day, but she disappeared into the air without thinking. From then on, the old man took care of the house alone, but he also lived in ignorance for decades. Now that I am getting older, I gradually seem to be unable to do what she wants."
I'm afraid I'll have to sell this shop someday and live out my old age." The old man continued. Han Yu suddenly felt like he wanted to recognize the old man as his adoptive father. But after thinking about it again and again, he didn't do so. The world is so big, so unfortunate people
Naturally, there are countless of them, and now I can only pray more for this old man.
The two looked at each other and continued to look forward to the old man's speech without interrupting.
It took a while for the old man to react and immediately said: "Oh, the old man talked too much."
"It's okay, old man, let's continue talking!" Han Yu said.
"After seven o'clock in the town, there is a saying that you can hear it, but you can't see it, and you can't see it, and you can't hear it. It has developed into a strange thing now, and there are many people who come here every year to see and listen. Just because of this
It’s just more legendary in it.” The old man continued.
"What does 'able to hear, but not see, able to see, not hear'?" Ruoshui asked, but in his heart he thought about it for a moment.
"Husband, do you know about the chaos of the beast tide?"
"This thing, it is said that the Xuanjian Peak Beast left the peak and moved around, and was finally absorbed by the mysterious power to cause chaos in the Seventeenth Peak. It only happens occasionally. Sometimes it will form a beast tide, but I don't know where..." Although Han Yu
I don't have much time here, but I also paid special attention to some special things in Xuanjian Sect, and this beast tide is also paying attention, but I don't know what Ruoshui proposed at this time?
"Then, husband, do you know where these things ended up?"
"I don't know!"
"Went to the Demon Suppression Tower in Xing Jianfeng!"
"Suppress... Demon-Suppressing Tower? Isn't this from Shushan?" Han Yu was startled and bit his tongue. He had to pretend to sigh, but he didn't know what the old man said.
"What Shushan, I don't know? But I know that the Demon Suppression Tower cannot accommodate those many monsters, so every time after the Ghost Festival in July, after seven o'clock at night, the seal of the Demon Suppression Tower weakens, and these monsters will swarm in groups
Escape. This will last for up to a month before it weakens."
"There is a saying in my hometown that says: The Immortal of Three Thousand Swords can slay demons in the world. And the Immortal of Three Thousand Swords comes from Shushan, a resort in my hometown, and the Shushan Sword Sect. And one of the famous buildings of the Shushan Sword Sect,
It is the Demon Suppression Tower. There have been countless stories about the love between humans and monsters for thousands of years. Although it is sad, it is also touching. I didn’t expect that there is such a Demon Suppression Tower here, but I don’t know if it is the same as the Demon Suppression Tower in my hometown.
It's pretty good." Han Yu said in his heart.
"Well, let's listen to what this old man said. I'm going to elaborate on my conjecture with my husband." Ruoshui couldn't help but feel a little strange, but he didn't know where Han Yu's hometown was, and one day he would have to experience the feeling of being a fairy in the sword.
The two of them exchanged words very quickly. When they finished speaking, the old man just took a breath and continued: "It's from this time to the third watch, when you can hear but not see. The old man really doesn't know the details, but he saw someone
I went to take a peek, but ended up with a lifelong eye disease."
"Then after the third watch is the time when you can see but not hear?" Han Yu asked.
"That's right! After the third watch, the bronze drums will sound in unison, and we will take out the ear-blocking objects given by the immortal master and put them in our ears. But now the night is dark, and we can see the clouds rolling in the distance, as brilliant as fireworks.
It blooms in the sky and is extremely beautiful. It is said to be a miracle by people who come from other places." said the old man.
"Pfft..." Ruoshui spilled the full cup of tea in an unladylike manner. He didn't expect that the old man didn't know that it was the light emitted by his skills, but he was just trying to protect this fairy town. If so, then he guessed
It was confirmed to eight points that it seemed that this was caused by the beast tide.
Seeing that the old man had another chance to take a breath, Ruoshui sent a secret message to Han Yu again: "Husband, this is indeed a chaos of beasts. I think this is the weakest place in the demon-suppressing tower during the demon-locking period, otherwise it would not have broken out.
Such a beast."
"Well, we'd better stay here until dawn. This Xuan Jue Sword is too famous, and something unexpected will happen if we go out." Han Yu said.
