The man was an old man, about sixty or seventy years old, with a round face, short hair, big eyes, and big glasses.
I was extremely vigilant. If he came in from outside, I might let him go, but this guy actually came out of Yitun. In addition to the road out of Ganlong Village, there is indeed another road in Yitun. Then I've never dared to walk on this road, and my grandma wouldn't let me walk on it.
That's the way to Dead Town!
What is the Dead Town? It was a place before the founding of the People's Republic of China, where tens of thousands of people died in a single plague! The road was so dangerous that no living person dared to enter it. After all, ghosts were an extremely common thing there!
It was only when people like grandma came here that the road to Death Town was blocked, and Yitun became what it is today.
Now a strange old man suddenly appears out of thin air in the village. I would be stupid if I didn't run away!
Even if my sister-in-law didn't remind me, I would quickly pull Yu Xue and run behind Zhao He.
Although Zhao He was a little disdainful of my behavior, seeing that neither of us were strong people, taking the initiative to hide behind him proved that he recognized Zhao He's power. Those are both smart people.
So Zhao He's heroic spirit came into play. He puffed up his chest and shouted loudly to the visitor: "I am Zhao He from Dalong County. Who are you? Come as soon as you come!" Do you want to spoil my sister and me?
Zhao He? Oh, Zhao He! What a coincidence, I am your Uncle Hai! The visitor quickly arrived at Siqiao, waving all the way.
Uncle Hai? Zhao He was stunned and stared at the person with wide eyes.
Uncle Hai, help me quickly. Captain Huo’s soul has been snatched away by the Yin soldiers. I can’t do anything about it! Zhao Qian is running around anxiously. Huo Dadong’s soul has already passed from one side of the bridge to the other. If he doesn’t get it back, he’ll probably die. Difficult.
Oh! Oh! Okay, Zhao Qian is here too, and Huo Dadong has his soul imprisoned too? What a coincidence. The old man quickly agreed and immediately took out a stack of paper figurines from the bag he was carrying on his back.
The paper figures are all cut out, have noses and eyes, and are very scary.
It turned out to be someone I knew? I felt a little relieved, but I still didn't dare to be careless. Who knows how he appeared here? I touched the soul jar in my trouser pocket, ready to lift the lid at any time.
When the old man named Uncle Hai arrived on the bridge, I saw his appearance clearly. His skin was a little dark because he was exposed to the sun all year round, and he was carrying a mountaineering bag that only a young man carries, which means he was someone who often went out.
The old man also looked at me, but only once and then turned to the bridge. He seemed to have discovered that the Yin soldiers were arresting people, and he also saw many Yin ghosts, but his expression did not change much.
He took out a cinnabar pen as if he hadn't seen it before, wrote a few words on the paper figure, then pulled out a piece of Huo Dadong's head and tied it to the paper figure, then threw the paper figure into the river and said silently A few mantras.
The two Yin soldiers seemed to have noticed something. They let go of Huo Dadong's faint ghost and turned back to chase the paper man.
Zhao Qian, you try again! Uncle Hai smiled and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. He was not unskilled in this skill, it was just like a daily routine.
While I was surprised, I also became more wary of this old man. He was definitely a powerful Yin Yang master, and he could actually easily deceive the Yin soldiers.
And when he came to me, he was like a shadow. I didn't feel his popularity. It seemed that he had used some secret method of yin and yang to hide his own aura.
If a person loses the energy of yin and yang, no dirty thing will be able to see him. This is a powerful trick of hiding in the daytime and deceiving ghosts and monsters. Since the old man has such ability, it is not surprising that he dares to take the road of death town.
Already.
Okay, Uncle Xie Hai. Zhao Qian was so happy that she immediately recited the soul-calling spell, and Zhao He also started to cooperate with the soul-locking spell.
The two of them worked for a while and finally summoned Huo Dadong's soul back.
Then Zhao He opened his umbrella and held it on Huo Dadong's body, while Zhao Qian recited a few spells. Huo Dadong's whole body twitched and blisters appeared in his mouth.
Although the appearance is ugly, it can be regarded as a return to the soul, but it is not complete yet, because part of the soul has been injured, and Huo Dadong has to suffer a serious illness.
After Uncle Hai saw the two of them succeed, he immediately beamed: I didn't expect you to be able to do it alone. It's only been so many years since we last met. You are much better than you, me, back then, haha.
What did the old uncle say? Compared with father and grandfather, we are far behind. Zhao He chuckled, actually quite happy.
Uncle Hai, let me introduce you solemnly. This is a friend we just met here. I asked Zhao Qian to extend her hand and plan to introduce me.
Summer is one day, summer is summer, one day is two days. I introduced it before Zhao Qian finished. After all, she only learned my name from Huo Dadong, and I never really introduced it.
I am Yu Xue, and Yu Xue is Yu Xue. Yu Xue is shy. She has never introduced herself. She has always lived in Yitun. She is not so particular.
Oh, Xia Yitian and Yu Xue? That’s great, what a good name, and you are of the same generation as the Zhao He brothers and sisters, so you can call me Uncle Hai or Hai Lao with them. I am also a native of Dalong County.
Uncle Hai said with a smile that if we could stay in this place until night, he might think that Yu Xue and I are not like ordinary people, so he was very polite.
Zhao Qian smiled and Zhao He also said: Uncle, Xia Yitian is Zhou Xian's grandson.
I frowned, my eyes serious, Zhao Hete was talking too much.
Hiss? Zhou Xian? Are you the grandson of Senior Zhou Ying? Mr. Hai took a breath of air and then looked me up and down.
Is there any problem? I forced out a smile, then frowned and asked: How did Hai Lao get out of Yitun? The sheep intestines in Yitun are not easy to walk.
Seeing my unkind expression, Mr. Hai immediately showed a meaningful smile and said straight to the point: Hey, man, do you think the death of senior Zhou Ying has anything to do with me?
Brother Yitian, Uncle Hai is one of our own and will never have anything to do with your grandmother's death. Zhao Qian is smart and immediately understood what I meant by asking this question.
Since you are all from Dalong County and have come to this place, I guess you already know some things. There are some things you don’t understand, so you will eventually try your best to find out. Uncle Hai moved his glasses.
, stretched out his hand to lead us away and said: "Put Huo Dadong on your back, our time is almost up."
Want to leave the camp? Uncle Hai, we have been there before, and there were Yin soldiers crossing the border, so we couldn't go out at all. We went there today and came back again, and a policeman died, otherwise we wouldn't be staying here.
Zhao He complained.
Only one person died? Hehe, under the aftermath of this incident, you may be lucky to be able to survive until now. I accompanied a few friends to watch the battle this time, and three of them died, so I won’t be able to come back.
Okay. Hai Lao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
What? Uncle Hai, is there someone fighting? Then Uncle Hai must fight with us well so that we can know the details of this fight! Zhao He was extremely excited. Although he was carrying Huo Dadong, he didn't look stressed at all.
Isn't it? I was invited to observe this time, and my friends didn't participate either, but they were tricked and couldn't come back with me. Ebi sighed, but looked at me.
I don't know why he looked at me, but if I think about it casually, I know it has something to do with my grandma.
One day, brother, do you know what happened before the founding of the People's Republic of China? Or what your grandmother was called outside? Or, do you know any clues about the causes of things during this period? Hai Lao asked me instead.
I thought about it in my mind and immediately put it all aside: I have been working away from home in the past few years, and I don’t know much about my grandmother. She has never had any previous affairs with me.
So that’s the case, no wonder, alas, this is hiding one’s name. Hai Lao shook his head and said: Zhou Xian, that is, Zhou Laomo, who was famously named Zhou Ying back then.
Haha, Old Mo Zhou? How could grandma have such a name? She always saves people and exorcises evil spirits, and is good at charity. Hai Lao, did you remember something wrong? I sneered and stared at Hai Lao. Grandma is usually kind and charitable.
Everyone praises my relationship with neighbors. What's the difference between being called "Old Mo Zhou" and pointing at my nose and scolding me?
Hai Lao laughed and saw that I was anxious, so he said: Brother, don’t be anxious for now. The Zhou Xian in my mind is Senior Zhou, and of course it is not Zhou Lao Mo. The name Zhou Lao Mo is a name that foreigners are afraid of.
That's why she called her that. I met her once and I know her as a person. Don't be in a hurry. Just listen to me and take your time.
Uncle Hai, is this true? Is Zhou Xian really Zhou Lao Mo? Zhao He showed admiration in his eyes. Anyone who can be called Lao Mo must be a powerful character at the level of a demon.
Although Zhao Qian's eyes were bright, she was not as restless as Zhao He.
Hey, Zhao Hezi, who do you think Senior Zhou Ying is? Before the Cultural Revolution, she was already the famous Zhou Laomo and the only successor of the ghost-raising method! Could I lie to you?
Okay, please don't interrupt me. I will follow you as we walk. You take these paper figures and put them in your pockets. Hai Lao took out a few paper figures and gave them to us.
I took it and looked at it carefully. My sister-in-law did not remind me, so I took it into my pocket.
Now that I have reached the devil and senior Zhou Ying, then I have found her enemies Zhengdao. Zhengdao, what is Zhengdao? Zhengdao is Sutu, Mai, Zhongge, Quanzhen, Maoshan, these are what they call Zhengdao.
The branches of the Tao like ours are called superficial Tao, or even evil Tao. Although everyone usually lives in peace, something went wrong once. Hai Lao looked at the place where grandma lived with some fascination.
, shook his head: I really didn’t expect that Old Mo Zhou was her. I thought she was a man.
