Chapter 21 The Abandoned Chen Family Village
Chapter 21 The Abandoned Chen Family Village
On the way, A-Ying sent Li Xuan a video on his phone, which contained the suona music played during the annual procession of deities. He didn't ask for a replica, just something that captured the feeling of the video.
Li Xuan picked up the suona from the back seat and played it softly a few times, trying to recapture a bit of his childhood feeling.
The two set off at noon and took nearly three hours to get into the mountains, which were densely forested. It was now three o'clock, a time when the sun should have been shining brightly.
But the trees in the mountains are very tall and denser than the red cypress forest, and it gets darker the further you go in.
Ah Ying's expression was no longer as spirited as when he first set off, and he gradually became much quieter.
After a while.
Ahead lay a muddy, rutted dirt road, followed by a village gate with various tree branches and trunks, each as thick as a bowl, piled haphazardly in front of it.
This was done intentionally...
Li Xuan saw a gray sedan parked on the side of the road. He made a shushing gesture, and A Ying immediately parked the SUV on the side of the road. The two of them quietly got out of the car and approached.
The car was empty.
Although Ah Ying did not chant incantations to invoke the gods, he was always wearing a dharma robe and had the face of a white crane boy painted on his face.
As he got closer, he could smell a lingering, foul stench emanating from the car. His face felt slightly hot, as if something was about to descend upon him…
"Could it be that Li Ruonan you mentioned has arrived?"
After hearing Li Xuan recount the history of Chenjia Village and learning about Li Ruonan's situation, A Ying made a guess when he saw the car.
Recalling Li Ruonan's performance in the movie, Li Xuan said, "It's very likely, and this woman is probably insane. We need to be extra careful..."
Ah Ying returned to the SUV, took out a longbow and hung it on his body, then slung a quiver over his back, containing three arrows with runes engraved on their tips.
He thought for a moment, rummaged around for a while, then took out a purplish-red gourd and hung it on his waist, and then took out a ruyi (a type of scepter) about half a meter long with red, blue and brown colors in his hand.
Li Xuan held a suona in his hand, a Tianpeng ruler hung from his waist, and the Fengdu Treasure Seal was tucked in his pocket.
Ah Ying thought for a moment, then took out the small wooden box given to him by the old abbot and stuffed it into Li Xuan's pocket, saying, "My master doesn't do things without being sure of success. Since he gave me this, it must be useful! I'm his youngest disciple, he would never send me here to die..."
Li Xuan looked at the talisman seal on the small wooden box and replied, "What's inside? I'm afraid I won't use it."
Ah Ying laughed, he was very proud of his master, and said:
"Don't worry, Master has considered everything very thoroughly. Even an ordinary person who knows nothing about this can easily open the wooden box and use the talisman as long as they know how!"
This is our trump card; unless you're so stupid you don't even know how to remove the talisman.
Li Xuan said, "You should do something as crucial as this yourself."
Ah Ying pointed to the magical artifact on his body and said, "This is my first time training alone without my master. You will be in charge of assisting me. I believe in you!"
There was something else he didn't say.
Li Xuan showed no signs of cultivation; the wooden box his master gave him was definitely enough to save his life.
However, Ah Ying was worried that Li Xuan might be implicated in the fight with that so-called Buddha Mother, so he placed the wooden box on Li Xuan for protection.
As soon as the two passed through the village gate, they felt a chill run through their bodies. There were no trees to block the view of the village, and in the afternoon around three o'clock, there was no warm sunshine, but instead, the sky was overcast and looked like it was about to rain at any moment.
Ah Ying slowly exhaled a breath of stale air; his face was burning hot, signifying that the village was shrouded in evil spirits.
The Heavenly Ruler at Li Xuan's waist was also getting hot, but the Fengdu Treasure Guiding Seal in his pocket was as cold as ice. The contrast between the hot and cold made him a little uncomfortable...
Chenjia Village had been abandoned for six years, overgrown with weeds and exuding an air of decay.
Furniture lay scattered haphazardly on the ground, and in the center of the village, there was a stone enclosure containing a pile of charred black objects.
Ah Ying walked ahead, glanced over, and exclaimed in shock, "Damn, it's a charred corpse!" Li Xuan was startled and quickly went over to look. Sure enough, there was a skeleton in the stone pit. It seemed to have been bound before death, which was why it remained in that position after being burned...
Li Ruonan's ex-boyfriend, Chen Lidong, was the one who went crazy and fainted after going through a tunnel, and was eventually dragged out and burned by the villagers, wasn't he?
I never expected that the body would still be there after so long.
As the two walked forward, they found that many houses had their doors and windows wide open, indicating that people had hurriedly moved out.
Inside the house, in the yard, and even on the steps, there were mummy-like corpses lying haphazardly, their skin festering and emitting a foul stench even before you got close...
Ah Ying's face was very ugly. He said, "The range of the curse is so large. This evil god has been nurtured for a long time."
Li Xuan pointed to several new footprints on the ground and said, "Someone just walked by; let's hurry up and catch up."
According to the movie, the underground tunnel that seals the Great Black Buddha Mother is located in the forbidden area of the village; you can see it by simply walking towards the back.
The village is not big.
After walking for more than half an hour, the two realized something was wrong, because they found themselves back in the center of the village.
What's chilling is that Chen Lidong's body, which was originally lying horizontally in the stone pit, is now standing upright, like a pillar.
Ah Ying's eyes twitched. He pulled a handful of talismans from his pouch, rushed over, and hissed angrily, "Gan Lin's mother! I'm ordered to eliminate evil and punish the wicked. How dare you disobey me?"
The talisman struck Chen Lidong's corpse, sparking and crackling. The corpse disintegrated at a visible speed, leaving only a skeleton scattered on the ground.
Click click click.
The corpses around them slowly stood up.
Ah Ying said, "Do you know where the evil god is? I'm going to force my way through, let's rush over there in one go!"
The White Crane Boy, who was playing the role, sensed the evil energy and had been itching to act. Although he could kill these corpses instantly, it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Moreover, the appearance of the White Crane Boy is extremely taxing on one's energy and spirit.
Ah Ying's cultivation was insufficient to sustain the appearance of the White Crane Boy for an extended period, so he could only try to delay the appearance as much as possible...
He picked up the half-meter-long Ruyi scepter, smashed it on the head of a corpse, and chanted a spell. The corpse fell down and turned into powder.
Li Xuan also wielded the Heavenly Ruler to strike the corpse.
Ah Ying took out a dark-colored talisman and threw it into the air. He made a sword finger gesture with his left hand, and the talisman spontaneously combusted and turned into ashes. The hazy environment around him, which seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, shattered like a mirror and became clear.
A cold wind blows.
The two found themselves standing at the back of the village, with a mound-like grave in front of them, a broken little door, and half a piece of new cloth hanging on it...
The bodies of the villagers from Chenjia Village slowly emerged from the village, swaying slightly.
Li Xuan couldn't let A Ying do everything. He used the Tianpeng Ruler to draw a line on the ground facing the corpse, chanting the Tianpeng Incantation. Whatever he thought of would have an effect.
The corpses approached, seemingly lost, swaying back and forth, but they couldn't find the two people.
Although the Tianpeng Mantra is somewhat versatile, its universality means it consumes several times more energy than dedicated mantras.
Li Xuan said, "Let's go in!"
Without hesitation, Ah Ying crawled straight into the small door of the grave mound.
Li Xuan followed closely behind!
