The wind came in through the holed window, and I could hear the rustling noise outside, but it revealed a strange silence.
In the room, in the darkness where you can't even see your fingers.
Yang Gu lay on the bed, completely hiding her body in the thin quilt.
His hand slowly stretched out, trying not to make a sound, and then he touched a soft object under the pillow, and then he felt a little more at ease.
Under the pillow is a piece of red cloth the size of a fist, with a small amount of incense ash wrapped inside, and a faint scent of pine can be smelled.
In recent days, many civilians in the town have been promoting this method, which is said to be able to ward off the monsters that often appear at night during this period.
Just go to the White Buddha Temple in the north of the town to burn incense, ask for a rub of incense ashes, take it home, wrap it in a red cloth and put it under your pillow.
Even if the monster enters the house, it can be kept safe and not discovered.
It's just a small piece of incense ash. It's not easy to ask for it.
The monks at Baifo Temple start by asking for incense at least thirty copper coins to get a small amount of incense ash the size of your thumb.
Because of this, Eucalyptus poplar is in great pain.
He had just traveled to this world not long ago. The original owner of this body was relatively poor to begin with. Not to mention that his family was living in poverty, but he could only barely maintain food and clothing. Thirty pennies was not a small amount of money for him.
But when he thought that compared with his own life, money was only an external possession after all, and he didn't want to end up in this world just a few days ago, so he had to pay for it.
I just hope that the incense ash is as effective as the people in the town say.
When she first came to this world, Yang Yu was very skeptical about the theory of demons at first, thinking that they might all be rumors fabricated by people.
Only as these days passed, and he gradually accepted the memory of the original owner of this body, did he finally understand how terrifying this world really is.
In the past, dynasties fell apart, wars were everywhere, and people were in dire straits.
Later, demons came to cause chaos in the world, emerging one after another, choosing people to devour.
The poor people who were already in dire straits, coupled with the continuous disaster years, are already suffering unbearably.
In this environment, even in the small Jiunan Town, which is far away from the war everywhere, people's faces are cast with a thick shadow of despair.
Recently, there were rumors that a man-eating demon appeared in Jiunan Town, and then one night ten days ago, there were a few corpses in the town that appeared to have died in extremely brutal ways for no apparent reason.
One of the deceased was only a hundred steps away from Yang Gu's house.
Yang Yu followed the others and took a look. She almost vomited on the spot and didn't eat for two days.
In the next few days, I could hear rumors from time to time about which family was missing and who was missing, but Yang Yu never joined in the fun again.
Looking at this scene, everyone knows that there is a demon causing trouble, and it cannot be faked.
In today's troubled times, it is impossible to be safe for a while. There are demons even in Jiunan Town, let alone other places, and it is impossible to escape.
For this reason, the wealthy merchants in the town spent a lot of money to hire the monks from the White Buddha Temple to guard the gate and the courtyard.
People who had no money could only find other ways to survive. Finally, they set their sights on the White Buddha Temple and exchanged money for some incense ash in order to get temporary shelter.
Yang Yu had no choice but to follow Daliu to buy some incense ash, and at the same time pray in his heart that the monster would never find him.
After finally living a busy life in his previous life, God gave him another chance.
He really didn't want to waste his hard-won second life so quickly.
However, talking about the existence of demons in this world reminded Yang Yu of something in his predecessor's memory.
It was a fragment of a scripture passed down from his ancestors. According to his father, it recorded an immortal magic spell and was buried in the soil under the water tank.
But his father warned him before he died that he must not take it out unless it was absolutely necessary, otherwise it would lead to disaster.
My predecessor had always believed in his father's last words, so he had never been curious about it.
Now that Yang Gu is here, he is different.
Judging from the experience of the past life, in such a terrifying world, if there are monsters and monsters, there must be immortals and gods, and no matter how bad things are, there will always be people with powerful martial arts.
It's just that he didn't understand that there was such a good thing at home, but his predecessor's father warned him not to touch it before he died.
That's a fairy magic.
Yang Yu has never seen what the legendary fairy magic is like.
Why exactly?
Just when Yang Yu was thinking about this problem, a shrill scream suddenly came from the street outside the house.
It seemed to be a woman's voice, screaming desperately, which was particularly loud in this silent night.
But the sound only lasted less than a breath, and suddenly stopped, and the surroundings fell into a strange silence again.
Hiding under the quilt, Yang Yu's body suddenly trembled, and she couldn't help but tighten the quilt around her body with her hands.
There is a demon coming!
At this moment, his breathing could not help but become rapid, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated due to nervousness.
The place where the sound came from seemed to be very close to him, which made him worry about his own safety and made him a little panicked.
What if the devil comes to your door?
Is the incense ashes from Baifo Temple useful?
What should I do if it doesn’t work?
Many thoughts kept flashing through Yang Yu's mind, making him extremely nervous. Even the air in the quilt seemed to become extremely hot.
Until a long time passed, there was still silence outside, as if nothing had happened.
After those few shrill screams, everything seemed to become calm again.
But Yang Yu didn't dare to let down his guard at all. A lot of sweat overflowed on his forehead. He couldn't stand the heat anymore, and his consciousness seemed to become a little blurry.
Another moment passed.
While Yang Gu was confused, a very light footsteps seemed to be heard in the house, slowly, from far to near.
It seemed like something had entered his house!
But at this time, Yang Yu could no longer concentrate at all. She only felt that her mind was getting more and more dizzy, her body was so weak that she couldn't even move her fingers.
He only felt that something had come closer and walked to the bed.
And then.
He completely lost consciousness.
…
I don't know how long has passed.
When Yang Yu opened her eyes, she gently lifted the quilt and realized that it was already bright outside.
White light shone in through the doors, windows and gaps, making the room bright and tiny dust particles clearly floating in the air.
"I... fell asleep last night?"
He rubbed his eyes, lifted the quilt, and checked his body.
In perfect condition.
Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know why, but she always felt a little uneasy.
Recalling that before he lost consciousness in the middle of the night last night, he clearly felt something coming to his bedside.
Is it an illusion?
Hiding under the quilt, there is no air circulation, and the lack of oxygen leads to hallucinations?
It seems reasonable.
As long as everything is fine.
In the end, Yang Yu didn't take what happened last night to heart.
Rubbing her eyes and feeling much awake, Yang Yu turned around and folded the quilt smoothly, then opened the pillow. The red cloth bag wrapped with incense ash was still there.
He decided to keep this thing on his body. Regardless of the value of this thing or for peace of mind, he could not leave it randomly.
But just when he reached out and grabbed the red cloth bag and was about to pick it up.
His hands haven't used any force yet.
The red cloth wrapped in the incense ashes, together with the incense ashes inside, suddenly turned into black ashes visible to the naked eye and ran out from between his fingers, scattering all over the bed.
Yang Yu was immediately dumbfounded.
