Thriller Night Talk

Wei Fuyuan didn't understand Beiquan's whisper, but Tian Jiaxin understood it roughly.

The little baby opened a pair of slightly drooping bright eyes, and stared at Beiquan in surprise:

"...The ghost is not here? How is this possible?"

Beiquan nodded, stretched out his hand and scratched Guanhu's chin twice.

"It was Suying who told me."

He said:

"Suying said that the village has a lot of yin, but it can't feel the aura of evil spirits."

"Shouldn't it be?"

Tian Jiaxin made a pensive expression on his chin, and his little meaty paws pressed his face into a pout:

"If the Fragmented Space was created by the Hateful Ghost, then it should wait outside like a spider guarding the edge of a web, and then trap all its prey in..."

The child wrinkled his nose in confusion:

"No matter what method it uses, it shouldn't run far?"

Wei Fuyuan is ignorant and fearless, boldly guessing:

"Isn't the rage ghost going to possess the host? If the object it possesses is someone among those teachers and students, will it also enter along with it?"

Beiquan looked at Wei Fuyuan, did not dislike his random guess, but nodded with a smile:

"Although the possibility is relatively small, at present, it may indeed be the case."

He explained:

"Generally speaking, if the fragmented space is man-made, the maker will choose to intercept a piece of time and space that he is familiar with. And in order to maintain the stability of the space, the caster will generally stay outside as much as possible...unless..."

Wei Fuyuan: "Unless?"

Beiquan smiled:

"Unless it has a reason to go in."

Wei Fuyuan unconsciously patted his thigh:

"Then needless to say, the angry ghost must have a reason to follow in! Otherwise, how could it continue to confuse the host!"

Beiquan just smiled, not commenting.

He had thought it would be easy.

As long as they find the ghost in the ruins of the barren village, kill it, and release the people trapped in the fragmented space—whether they are still alive or have unfortunately died, the problem will be solved.

However, so far, he can only speculate from the call from the person who claimed to be "Ayun" yesterday that the missing teachers and students are probably trapped in a time and space that is constantly looping.

——So, does this fragmented space really exist, and where is it?

The knuckles of the index finger of Beiquan's right hand rubbed his temple unconsciously.

"Anyway, before it gets dark, let's look for it first!"

He turned his head and snapped his fingers at Wei Fuyuan and Tian Jiajia, "First take a look at the environment of this Xuanmen village with your own eyes."

&&&&&&&&&

Of course, Beiquan had a full-scale floor plan of Xuanmen Village in his hand, accurate to the latitude and longitude of each house.

But he has always adhered to the principle of "what is on paper is always shallow", and whenever he comes to a strange environment, he must go around and take a look.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, the sun will gradually set to the west.

Beiquan took Wei Fuyuan and Tian Jiaxin from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, and walked around the cemetery where the dead had been buried for nearly a hundred years, and finally turned back to the two houses where the teachers and students stayed overnight.

"……I see."

He stood in front of the hillside where the two small courtyards were located, condescendingly, looking into the distance.

Wei Fuyuan came over:

"What did you find?"

Beiquan replied: "The Fengshui of Xuanmen Village is special."

Wei Fuyuan: "??"

He didn't know anything about it, just now he accompanied Beiquan back and forth, and his only thought was "this village is really dilapidated and desolate".

"Although the formation here is disturbed, the compass cannot be displayed, but..."

Beiquan pointed in the direction they had just walked:

"The end of the village faces the true north, and it is also the direction of the main entrances of most buildings—it is also the direction of the ghost gate."

Wei Fuyuan let out a "huh".

He had already heard Bei Quan say this on the way.

"Also, look to the right."

Beiquan raised his hand and pointed down the hillside: "Did you see anything?"

Wei Fuyuan looked to the right according to Beiquan's guidance, and only saw an open field approximately oblong, with houses scattered on it in a mess, and scattered rocks in the distance, as well as bushes and weeds.

Judging from the direction, Young Master Wei only knew that it should be to the east, other than that, he really didn't see any difference from the nearby barren hills.

"Two or thirty years ago, there should have been a river to the east of the village."

Beiquan explained with a smile:

"It's just that the groundwater level in the mountainous area in this area dropped later, coupled with years of drought, the river completely dried up and turned into a barren beach."

Wei Fuyuan let out a "hmm", but still didn't understand what it meant.

"Hey, it's a lot of work to explain to a layman!"

Tian Jiaxin, who was on the sidelines, was getting impatient.

He simply squatted down, picked up a branch, and drew a diagram on the muddy ground:

"Let me, my lord, explain it to you!"

Ever since the vest was lifted by Bei Quan, this Tianqi doll has completely let go of herself and revealed her true nature, and she no longer deliberately pretends to be a soft and pitiful child in front of Wei Fuyuan.

He quickly drew the general outline of Xuanmen Village, marked the direction, drew a few arcs on the west, south, and north of the village to represent "hills", and drew a few curved lines on the east to represent "rivers."

"Xuanmen Village is located in a valley, surrounded by steep slopes on three sides, and has a long and narrow shape, so most of it is located in the shade of the hillside."

Tian raised his salary with a small wooden stick and poked it on the ground:

"In this way, Yin Qi flows down the mountain and pours into Xuanmen Village."

Wei Fuyuan: "Oh..."

"Besides, I don't know if it's intentional or there are other reasons around the village. A large number of locust trees and boxwood trees are planted. The yin energy entering the village is 'set up' so that it cannot flow out along the mountain road or the gap between the hills."

As he spoke, Tian Jiaxin drew a small arrow on the map.

"Therefore, these yin qi can only go in the only direction, which is the east."

Wei Fuyuan: "Yes."

This time he understood.

If the so-called "yin qi" is understood as the existence of cold air, then since the south, west and north are blocked by hills and forests, it is natural to go to a lower place, that is, the river beach in the east.

"But back then there was a river here."

Tian Jiaxin emphasized the curve of the "river" with a small wooden stick.

"The water belongs to Yin, and it just flows through the east of the village, almost completely blocking the final exit of the Yin Qi, so that Xuanmen Village becomes a long big plate, trapping all the Yin Qi in the mountains. Locked here."

Wei Fuyuan: "This sounds like an endless loop."

During the one and a half months of dealing with the rage ghosts, Young Master Wei also experienced how terrifying the so-called "Yin Qi" was at close quarters many times.

Although he can enjoy Beiquan's bathing service after every hand-to-hand fight with a rage ghost, this does not mean that the bone-piercing chill when he is attacked by yin qi will not make people feel uncomfortable.

"Then how did the villagers of Xuanmen Village live in such a ghostly place with terrible feng shui?"

This time Tian raised his salary and stopped talking.

He looked up at Beiquan, as if he wanted to wait for the other party's explanation.

"Well, I suppose it's because of that."

Beiquan also squatted down, took the small wooden stick from the child's hand, and circled a circle on the floor plan he drew.

The place where he put pen to paper is the crooked part of the "J" - the collective cemetery where all the dead villagers have been buried for a hundred years.

Beiquan is worthy of being a person who uses a brush as a natal magic weapon. With just a simple tick, he can draw the exact shape and size of the cemetery.

"A large number of corpses are buried in the Yin Gathering Ground. The corpses can remain intact for decades or even hundreds of years. It is difficult for the three souls and seven souls of the dead to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation. Over time, the yin and resentment gathered around will be transformed. For evil spirit."

Wei Fuyuan: "!!?"

He blurted out:

"Won't this make the problem worse?!"

"You're right."

Beiquan nodded:

"So, I guess the villagers of Xuanmen Village should have some way to dispel the evil spirit."

Wei Fuyuan noticed that Beiquan squinted his eyes slightly when he said this, and there seemed to be some kind of dim and difficult glimmer in his pair of maroon pupils.

"...Unfortunately, time does not allow me to study slowly."

Beiquan's fingers tapped lightly on his knee twice:

"It seems that we can only take a little risk..."

Wei Fuyuan keenly grasped the word "adventure", and immediately raised his eyebrows:

"What do you want to do?"

Beiquan looked up at the sky.

"Not yet, we have to wait until dark."

He said:

"I want to sneak into the debris space and take a look."

Wei Fuyuan didn't understand what Beiquan meant, but Tian Jiaxin, who was next to him, suddenly changed his face.

"What do you want to do, Beiquan!?"

Tian Jiaxin's childish baby voice suddenly increased by an octave:

"You haven't even found the entrance to the space yet, so you don't know how to get in and get out, right?"

He raised the volume:

"So you're planning to use 'the trick'?"

Bei Quan half-truthfully praised: "Congratulations, you got the answer right."

"Fuck!!"

Tian Jiaxin jumped up like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, and threw himself on Beiquan:

"What if you can't get out after entering!!"

Beiquan reached out to grab the child's shoulders, and snorted twice on the back of his head with a smile.

"There is no other better way now, is there? Always find out what's going on inside."

He said, turning his head to look at Wei Fuyuan:

"Besides, isn't Xiaowei here? With him protecting me, it should be fine."

"It's no problem!!"

Tian's salary increase was not appeased at all, and he called out in a shrill voice:

"Xiao Wei, he doesn't understand anything at all!!"

Although Wei Fuyuan didn't know what the two were talking about, when he heard Tian Jiaxin comment on him, he immediately became unhappy.

"I can learn!"

He retorted loudly:

"No matter what it is, as long as you teach me, I can learn it!"
