The rules of survival of the magic stick

"I'm not very clear about this, Gongyifu, do you know?" Su Luochen looked at Gongyifu.He is a Taoist, not a Buddhist, and guessing the truth will collide with that sacred place.

With a wave of Gongyi Fu Su's hand, the previous evil spirits turned into a puddle of sewage on the ground into unnamed worms, "They are not evil spirits, but blood worms deliberately raised by someone."

Blood worms are also known as phantom worms. Blood worm larvae need to be fed with the blood of living people. When the larvae grow up, they can transform into human appearances, but the transformed human beings are different from living people, rather like ghosts.

"Empty town, people should be missing often, once a month, at least ten people at a time, right?" Gong Yifu asked this question to the glutinous rice balls.Tang Yuan is from the town, so she knows a little about this matter.

Tangyuan nodded depressedly, "When I was very young, my parents accidentally fell off the cliff and died because they went to the mountain to collect medicine. I have remembered that. The village chief didn't let me see my parents dead body." It is because of these weird things that happen all year round that there is a custom of choosing a young child as a sacrifice every year.

Gongyifu asked again, "How long have these phenomena been going on?"

The little guy opened his fingers and counted, "About 20 years."

"It seems that my guess is right. These bloodworms have been formed by sucking human blood. The batch that wandered around the village just now are just waste that can't hurt the table. The real bloodworms are formed and extremely difficult to destroy." Gongyi Fu His cold eyes stared at the bugs, and with a slight wave of his hand, a red flame burned the ground instantly, and the bugs were reduced to ashes after a while.

"Tangyuan, just now you said that the village head did not allow you to see your parents' corpses. Could this be related to the village head?" What Tang Su said was just a guess, a few words, nothing to prove.

"I don't know." Tangyuan shrank her head, as if she was afraid of something, "The village chief of the empty town rarely shows up in the town. Except for the annual sacrifice, the rest seem to disappear out of thin air."

"Don't be afraid of Tang Yuan." Su Luochen hugged Tang Yuan in his arms and rubbed his head. He had a child's body, so it looked like two children were hugging each other to keep warm.

Tang Su rubbed his chin with his hands on his chest, rolled his eyes, and accidentally saw the lights turned off in the room in the lobby that had been turned off, "There are people living in the room inside."

The closed door was opened, and a crouching old grandfather walked out from the inside. The old grandfather was getting old, and he walked slowly towards the direction where the four of them were standing.

On the side of the unclosed door behind the grandfather, followed by a little round head, it was a little girl. The little girl looked at the four of them curiously. After Tangyuan saw the girl, she moved her foot and hid Behind Tang Su.

"Presumably these are the family members who are traveling with the young master." Gong Yifu had greeted the old man before, but when the lights were turned off in the empty town, the old man led the little granddaughter into the house first.

The time to turn off the lights in the empty town is midnight, that is, twelve o'clock in the morning. Within an hour after the lights are turned off, no households can light their lights and go out, and one hour later, they can light their lights.

It is said that this is an old rule established in the past dynasties. The grandfather was originally a member of the Qilan tribe. After migrating here, this custom came into being. As for the reason, it is unknown.

"Well, he's my elder brother." Tang Su pointed to Gong Yifu and said, "These two are our younger siblings. We passed by here on our way to Folian Town to seek relatives."

"Are you going to Folian Town? So, you are not locals anymore?" The old man had a strange expression on his face.They are going to Folian Town, and they are not locals. Could it be that the direction of these four people came from Chihexu?

"Yes, yes," Tang Su didn't realize what was wrong, "Grandpa, you said that it is the ancestor's rule to turn off the lights after midnight, then when you were in the house just now, did you hear What's happening?"

The old man waved his hand at Tang Su, "I'm getting older, and my ears are not working very well. If you talk to the old man close, the old man can barely hear the truth, but if you go far away, it won't work."

"This is the best." Tang Su's vigilance towards the elderly and children has always been very low. He looked around the yard. There are four houses, but only one is inhabited. Presumably, the people here are all out. , Gongyi Fu happened to catch up.

The grandfather also welcomes outsiders very much. After chatting with Tang Su and the others for a while, he immediately found a room in the courtyard with the public servant, "This is my granddaughter, Niuniu. After the death of Niuniu's parents, the two The room is now empty, please don’t be disgusted with it.”

"Where is the grandfather, it is the best if you can accept us. You can do whatever you want, there is no reason to dislike it." Tang Su checked on the way here, and there was no restaurant or inn in the entire empty town.However, there is nothing surprising about this to Tang Su. The empty town has been closed for many years and does not entertain outsiders. Opening inns can not make a living, so most of the towns are homestays that serve as clothing and food shops.

"Guess please go ahead, it's late at night, the old man has to go back to his room to rest first."

Grandpa returned to the main house.The two rooms are opposite, Tang Su and Gong Yifu live in one, Su Luochen and Tang Yuan live in one, each room has only one bed, after the grandfather left, Tang Su turned off the lights and started Fumbled to undress.

After Tang Su took off his clothes, he got on the bed. He purposely slept in the innermost part of the bed, in order to reserve some more beds for Gong Yifu, "It's getting late, we have to go on the road tomorrow, so go to bed early." Chi He The three towns of Xu, Kong, and Folian are connected together. Only after passing through these three places can they return to Beijing by detour. This is the only way, there is no other way.

Gong Yifu looked at Tang Su who was curled up in a corner of the bed, sat down on the edge of the bed, and closed his eyes.Although the four directions of the courtyard have been imprisoned, Gong Yifu's suspicious heart cannot allow him to relax at all.

Tang Su lay on the bed, but didn't fall asleep immediately. He couldn't hear any movement beside him. Tang Su turned over and accidentally bumped into Gongyi Fu who was meditating.

"Gongyi Fu, it's so late, don't you take a rest?" Tang Su felt a little embarrassed to sleep alone.

When Gongyi Fu heard the words, he only replied two words lightly, "I'm not tired."

"You and I have been driving for a day, and my feet are sore, how can you not be tired." Tang Su obviously did not believe Gongyifu's nonsense. After Gongyifu said those two words, he stopped. Forget about him.

Tang Su is not a boring person either. Gong Yifu doesn't want to sleep, and he can't force him to sleep. It's just that he has asked and he has his mind, and that is enough.

Not long after, there was a snoring sound from the wing room, and in the other wing room, Su Luochen was also tossing and tossing. After coaxing the little glutinous rice balls to sleep, he also sat up straight like Gong Yifu.
