Doe

A talisman was pasted on his forehead with a "slap", and Baili Jueming's whole body shook, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and he immediately relaxed.Looking back, I saw that Pei Zhen put the black gauze fence back on the top of the thousand-eyed corpse's head, and the corpses behind were sitting firmly, with the silver needle inserted in the back of the neck, and the corpse did not rise at all. signs.

He realized in an instant that the eyes of this thousand-eyed corpse had the ability to confuse people, making him mistakenly think that someone was picking up the corpse behind him.

"I didn't expect senior to be able to do such tricks." Pei Zhen had a narrow smile in his eyes, "I looked back just now and saw that you and this thousand-eyed person are almost together. I'm still thinking, even I can't even catch the eyes of seniors, how beautiful this person must be to attract seniors to look at him carefully?"

Baili Jueming coughed a few times in a concealed manner, and said, "I got up early today, and I felt sleepy and dizzy for a while. In normal times, I don't even blink, and I clean it up in a few minutes." He glanced at Pei Zhen , "Also, who said you can't get into my eyes?"

Pei Zhen raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"

"If I hadn't seen you as beautiful and weak as a flower, I wouldn't have asked you to be my son-in-law." Baili Jueming patted his back, dissatisfied with his thin body , "Didn't they say that Huangquan ghost country has all kinds of elixir? By the way, I will find out if there is any kidney tonic. A man must be strong if he is strong."

Pei Zhen's smile froze on his face.He turned his back and dusted the hem of his clothes, and said slowly: "Don't worry about seniors, seniors should worry about themselves."

He is not happy to say a few words, this kid is quite temperamental.Baili Jueming didn't pay attention, seeing the book in his hand, he asked, "Did you find anything just now?"

"Most of these are chronicles of books, which record the customs and beliefs of the village. The beliefs of this Yinmu village are very strange. If you look at this thousand-eyed man, if he was born in an ordinary village, he would be regarded as a reincarnation of an evil ghost. , was burned alive. Here he has become a supernatural person with a respected status. However, the highest status in Yinmu Village is not him, but the 'Heavenly Lady'."

Pei Zhen handed the chronology to Baili Jueming, and Baili Jueming opened the chronology, but he didn't recognize any of the words in it.He asked, "What is this ghost drawing?"

"This is the language of the Masangu tribe. I am very happy to see the strange book, and I happen to recognize a little bit. Did the master mention this tribe to you?"

Baili Jueming stroked his chin and recalled, "Oh...it seems to be true. I heard that it is a group that believes in the black religion. The Xianmen revived 500 years ago. The Masang people never entered the Central Plains again, and then disappeared."

"If the guess is correct, the ghost country of Huangquan is in the territory of the Masangu tribe." Pei Zhen said, "They named the year after the 28th place in Sanyuan, and there is a reincarnation every 28 years. The entire chronicle records 33 times Reincarnation, in the fourth year of 920. They selected unmarried girls and promoted them to be heavenly daughters. What problem did you hear?"

"You missed one 'all', it should be 'all' the living, sitting and lying down of all the heavenly women." Baili Jueming said.

"No," Pei Zhen shook his head and smiled, "I'm not wrong. Do seniors think that 'Tiannv' is a status and position, hereditary inheritance, the predecessor dies, and the successor succeeds? No, I have looked through the chronicles and genealogies, and I have never found a Tiannv who passed away. Record. From the beginning to the end, the goddess is one person."

"How is it possible?" Baili Jueming didn't believe it, "Ordinary people's lifespan has lasted for a hundred years, but old man Wudu is a great master, and he has only lived for five hundred years because of his congenital fire technique. This guy named Tiannv Lived for more than 900 years? Maybe they didn’t record the change of Tiannv, or deliberately blurred the transfer of power, giving future generations the false impression that the leader lived forever.”

Pei Zhen shook his head again, and took out the last chronicle, "This is the beginning of No.30's four reincarnations. It was supposed to record the daily life of the celestial maiden as usual. But at the beginning, it only wrote 'the candle star falls, the celestial maiden rushes eastward', and later Instead, record the big and small affairs in the village, and no longer talk about the goddess."

"Run east?" Baili Jueming asked.

"'Run, go'. According to the literal understanding," Pei Zhen said, "it should be the goddess who fled. She left Yinmu Village, and there are no more goddesses in the village."

"Well, even if you're right, this goddess is a thousand-year-old witch." Baili Jueming folded her arms, "But what does this have to do with us?"

Pei Zhen turned to the last page of the chronicle and showed it to Baili Jueming.

"Eight years later, the goddess returned. The people asked: What can I do? The goddess said: What is the premonition? I want to live and die."

This means that after eight years, the old woman came back again.The villagers asked her, what are you doing back here?She said, it's none of your business if the old lady wants to bring a person back to life.Baili Jueming finds it interesting that the old woman is still a sweetheart.

Pei Zhen put the Yinmu Chronicle in his sleeve, and sighed: "It's a pity that this is the last chronicle, how the goddess can bring the dead back to life is unknown." He narrowed his eyes, "She lived nearly a thousand years, I don't know if she is alive now? "

"Come on, how old is that? I don't want to see her." Baili Jueming curled his lips, "What are you thinking about returning to life?" He thought of something, and said in amazement, "Could it be that you want to bring your dead wife back to life?" ?”

"Senior," Pei Zhen didn't answer, but said slowly, "Since the heavenly girl can live and die, it must be easy to change the pure yin body of Lady Xunwei."

Baili Jueming raised his eyebrows and looked back.What this kid said makes sense, the poor old woman must have more knowledge than them after living so long.Baili Jueming grabbed Pei Zhen's sleeve and took out the chronology, "Look carefully, don't miss any important clues."

Just as he was about to study it carefully, Baili Jueming suddenly saw light and shadow moving in the cracks of the board behind Pei Zhen, as if something was moving around on the other side of the board.Baili Jueming winked at Pei Zhen, this kid is very smart, he knew what Baili Jueming meant without asking anything, the two looked towards the gap, and there suddenly appeared an eye.

Someone is peeping behind the wall!

Pei Zhen shot like lightning, and a silver needle popped out.The eyes disappeared in a flash, the silver needle shot empty, and plunged into the darkness on the other side.Baili Jueming kicked open the side door and went to the next room, the inside was empty, there was a big pool of blood on the ground, and there was a disembowelled corpse.The thing that was peeping at them just now had obviously run away. Pei Zhen arrived later, holding the wind lantern and pacing around, using a handkerchief to pick up the silver needle he just shot.

"Do you think it's alive or dead?" Baili Jueming asked.

"If it's a disciple of Xianmen, there's no reason to be sneaky. The chances of death are higher." Pei Zhen squatted down to look at the footprints on the ground, "It's not just one person, it's two people."

"Dead people kill people," Baili Jueming said, looking at the corpse with its belly turned upside down, "it's not easy to be a dead person these days!"

"Senior." Pei Zhen called him.

"how?"

Baili Jueming turned around, the fellow stood on the edge of the threshold, and said, "Master Wudu said: 'Go into the crack of the earth, go three hundred miles to the north, and there is a Yinmu village, the space inside is strange and endlessly changing. , Those who enter are hard to return.', I thought, 'The space is strange and ever-changing', we have met."

He opened the main door, which was originally a door facing the corridor, but now behind the door is a cramped hut.The two looked at each other for a while, then tacitly raised the lantern and returned to the side door.When I opened the door, I saw a completely unfamiliar hut, and there was no trace of the scripture hall with the gauze screen and the thousand-eyed corpse.They even opened several doors and went to several huts, but they couldn't find the corridor, but returned to the original scripture hall twice.

After opening the door for the ninth time, they walked into a strange room again, which was probably a lower room for people to rest. The brass mirror case was placed on the dressing table, reflecting the faces of Baili Jueming and Pei Zhen.The brass mirror must have not been worn for a long time, and the faces of the two people were blurred, like two ghosts.

The rain was pattering outside, and the halo of the lantern surrounded the two of them. Pei Zhen moved a stool, took out a handkerchief and wiped the surface of the stool clean.This guy didn't know how many handkerchiefs he brought, all of which were in the same pattern - three white apricots, one of which was thrown away.The two sat down to rest, Pei Zhen said sadly: "Are we unable to get out?"

Baili Jueming was very depressed, "How do I know?"

Pei Zhen smiled again, "Fortunately, there are seniors by my side, facing each other day and night, holding a candle to listen to the rain, it has a special flavor."

"Oh," Baili Jueming sighed, "It would be great if I were replaced by Xunwei. You two are alone in the same room, sharing joys and sorrows, and love each other for a long time. It's written like this in the scriptures. Pei Zhen, you Think about it, young people talk more in one place, talk about love, love is what comes out of talk."

"It's okay, senior is Mrs. Xunwei's master," Pei Zhen said with a smile, "It's the same for seniors to talk about Mrs. Xunwei's feelings."

Baili Jueming: "..."

Baili Jueming didn't bother to talk to him and stopped talking.After enough rest, Pei Zhen began to analyze the current situation.According to him, the houses in Yinmu Village can move because of two reasons, one is mechanism and the other is magic.First of all, think about the first possibility. The mechanism relies on the gears of the equipment. Before they entered the Yinmu Village, they observed that the outer wall was a very solid and thick brick wall.

Baili Jueming said: "It's easy to do. Find a house next to the wall and break through the brick wall to have a look."

Pei Zhen shook his head, "If the mechanism is really on the outer wall, the builders will never let us get close to the outer wall anyway. The houses that can move in Yinmu Village definitely don't include the houses near the outer wall, just like we can't find the corridor .”

"Okay, there is another way." Baili Jueming stood up and opened the door, "Let's just stare at the opposite room and see how it changes. I don't believe it, it can disappear out of thin air."

The opposite seems to be a place for Masang people to rest and sleep, with several bamboo beds laid out.They put the lantern on the edge of the threshold to light it up. Baili Jueming and Pei Zhen sat side by side, staring at each other without blinking.The hut, which was removed just after closing the door, shows no sign of changing now.

Baili Jueming clasped his eyes with both hands, forcing himself not to blink.His left shoulder sank, and he turned his head to see that the kid Pei Zhen was leaning on his shoulder and fell asleep, his long and curled eyelashes were a touch of gold in the faint light of the wind lamp.The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this kid looked like Xun Wei, especially the curvature of the corners of his eyes, which were protruding obliquely, were equally beautiful.

He and Xunwei really have a husband and wife relationship.Baili Jueming sighed.

When I turned my head, I found that the room in front of me had been changed at some point, and it became a pile of clutter.Baili Jue stood up abruptly, grabbed the door frame and looked inside.

"I didn't watch it!" Baili Jueming said angrily, "It picks when I'm distracted!"

Pei Zhen woke up, rubbed his brows and asked, "Why are you distracted, senior?"

"It's not because of looking at you!"

Pei Zhen laughed, and said in a manly voice: "It turns out that senior missed his work because he peeked at me sleeping."

Baili Jueming was so angry that his face turned red, "Who is peeping at you!"

Pei Zhen groaned for a long time, "Senior missed his business because he saw me sleeping in an upright way."

"..." Nothing was right, it seemed to be getting darker and darker, Baili Jueming wanted to slap himself twice in a hurry.

Just as he was talking, Pei Zhen suddenly paused, and turned his gaze to the small black-painted case behind Baili Jueming, as if he saw something.He walked over and wiped the corner of the table with a handkerchief, only to see two words clearly appeared on the corner of the table as the handkerchief wiped off the dust.

"Help."
