Qingyan looked at the direction of the sun. When they entered, the sun was slightly to the west above their heads. Its current position has shifted far, which means it is really getting late.
She didn't know the specific time now, so she didn't check her watch now and asked Chou Chou to release the big bear. She was going to ride back and try to get back to the village before dark.
Fortunately, the mountain road here is not steep, so riding a horse is no problem at all. But Chou Chou went directly into the space. He didn't want to ride a horse together. The bumping around was too uncomfortable.
Qingyan rode her horse quickly and slowly, and returned to the Qinian Village before it got completely dark.
As soon as they came down the mountain, they met Yin Keqin and Yin Kehong. After asking, they found out that they were going up the mountain to find her. They were both relieved to see her back safely.
Although there weren't any dangerous big guys on the mountain, the little girl was afraid that she would wander blindly without knowing the way, and it would be troublesome to be trapped on the mountain.
After all, this mountain is not small, so it is still very difficult to find someone.
When going down the mountain, she asked Chou Chou to bring out two pheasants. She couldn't just come back empty-handed after struggling all day. That would be too embarrassing.
I also asked them indirectly when they came back and if they noticed any movement on the mountain. After all, it was shaken twice.
I found out that they, together with the three daughters-in-law who came back from their parents' home the same day, came back at four or five o'clock in the afternoon and did not notice the two earthquakes on the mountain.
It seems that the opening of the mechanism did not affect this area, it was just inside the mountain. I don't know how they did it.
As soon as the formation of the ancient tomb was opened, the rumbling sound could be heard outside the official road.
However, it is understandable. After all, the distance from the village to the mountain is longer, so it is normal that it cannot be transmitted to the village. She walked for several hours when she entered the mountain.
The distance from the official road to the woods where the cemetery is located is only two or three miles, and it only takes ten minutes.
Even if the mountain road is not easy to walk, the distance is much longer.
When they reached the middle of the row, Yin Kehong said goodbye to them and returned to his home.
Yin Kehong's house is in the second row, right in the middle. There is a road in the middle, so you can go through it without having to go around.
Qingyan led Ma and Yin Keqin back home. As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, she saw the old lady standing waiting in the courtyard.
The old lady had worry on her face, and she hurriedly greeted them when they came back.
"Oh, Miss Hengyue, you are back. I won't come back either on the left or on the right. I am afraid that you will get lost on the mountain. It will get dark just before you see it, so I will let Keqin go to you.
Keqin just went out for a moment. Did you come back so soon? Did you meet him on the road? "
Qingyan nodded, and handed the pheasant and horse reins to Yin Keqin, who was holding out his hand to take them, while replying: "Yes, I met Brother Keqin and Brother Kehong just after I came down the mountain. I lost track of time while playing on the mountain. It makes aunt worry."
Yin Keqin on the side said: "It's really not a good time on the mountain. It's very rare for a girl to be able to catch prey and come back the same day. It takes us two or three days to come back after we go up the mountain."
At that time, he was quite surprised to see Qingyan riding down from the mountain directly. You must know that although the mountain is not steep, the slope at the intersection of the mountain is still a bit steep, so they built stairs there.
It's okay for people to walk on it, but it's different when riding a horse. Most people don't dare to ride there anyway, especially when running down, accidents can easily happen.
They watched Qingyan ride down the horse. Both he and Kehong were startled. She was relieved when she landed safely.
Although I didn't say anything on the way back, I kept murmuring in my heart that this little girl's riding skills are really amazing. It looked like she had practiced for a day or two.
This is really true, although now it is more because of the tacit understanding between her and Da Xiong that she dares to be so unscrupulous, especially after gaining spiritual consciousness, she can communicate better with Da Xiong.
Also, she was good at riding horses. Her family had a racecourse in Hong Kong City, and in Macao City, their family not only had a racecourse but also a casino. Her father's good friend was a famous gambling king there.
Every time she goes there, she goes to the racecourse. The coaches who teach her equestrian skills are all retired racehorses. What they teach is not ordinary riding skills, they can really be used in competitions.
By the time they were ready to eat, it was completely dark, so they ate their dinner by an oil lamp.
You know, farmers usually eat dinner before dark. After all, lamp oil is very expensive. If there is nothing to do, those who don’t know how to light a lamp and boil the oil will try their best to finish the work at dawn.
At the dinner table, Yin Keqin talked about what he saw and heard in Qingfeng Town, "When we arrived at the entrance of the town, we couldn't go in directly as usual. We also registered and explained our place of residence and what we were going to do in the town. Just let us in.
The people guarding there were all sergeants with weapons. I heard from people in the town that there were more of them before, and the whole town was surrounded. However, a group left yesterday, and only those guarding on both sides of the town were left... "
Qingyan listened with great interest. Although Chou Chou had seen it with her spiritual consciousness before, the description was still different from what she saw with her own eyes.
In addition, it directly covers the entire town, and it only gives a general view of the situation. Unlike Yin Keqin and the others who went to do errands, they almost visited the whole town and knew more specifically.
"Nearly all the shops in that town were ransacked by the bandits. Except for the coffins in the coffin shop, all the money in the boss's house was robbed.
The gentleman who knew how to tell the time was okay. He was resting at home when we found him. He was not injured and suffered little damage. He was just a little frightened.
So we took the opportunity to check the date, and it was just seven days later. It could have been the day after tomorrow, but the coffin shop didn't have enough coffins in stock, so we had to wait a few days if we wanted to buy them immediately. "
It would be good to keep at most three or four of the finished coffins in the coffin shop. They wanted to buy ten coffins at once, and they knew that they would not have enough stock.
Although they also have to pass through the county seat, it is not impossible for the remaining six people to go to the county seat to buy. The question is who can guarantee that the county seat has enough inventory. It is best to make a reservation here. It is safest to go directly with the coffin.
If there are any missing items, they can be made up for in the county town. After all, the consumption in the county town is higher than that in the town, so the items will be more expensive.
They are all bankers, and they don't have much money on hand, so they should save what they can.
Qingyan heard that the day they calculated was seven days later, which was October 29th. She finally knew the specific month and date. Today was October 22nd. Of course, it was based on the lunar calendar.
In other words, winter hasn't started yet, at least it won't be until November, but it's coming soon, only about ten days, so I can't blame it for getting colder and colder.
She originally wanted to leave with them, but there was still such a long time, and she felt that she might not be able to wait any longer. If she waited that long, it might start snowing again.
She was also afraid that something else would happen. After all, she still remembered what she heard from the county about the alliance between Xixia and Tubo.
She took the opportunity to tell Yin Keqin and her mother about this matter, so that they would be prepared to avoid running into her.
Or if they have any new plans after hearing the news, they can leave here as soon as possible.
For Qingyan, this place cannot be said to be bad. After all, it is a place where they have lived for thousands of years, so it must be suitable for living.
But now that their concealment formation and phantom formation are gone, this place is so close to the border and is often in chaos. I don't know if it will be so comfortable in the future.
I just hope that this village can survive for more than two thousand years and has not been affected by the war. In addition to the formation, there are other reasons.
For example, all the men in their village practice martial arts.
Yes, Qingyan had already noticed that the men in their village had some skills, and they were generally tall and strong, so they were very intimidating at that station.
I just don’t know how their hands are doing, and whether they have the ability to protect themselves in a military disaster.
It should be related to their bloodline. Their ancestors were all royal guards, and they should still have some kung fu passed down from generation to generation. This is why although they usually farm, they go up to the mountains to hunt or something.
Qingyan had some doubts. The reason why there were no large beasts on the mountain was probably because they had been killed by their descendants for generations, or they were scared away.
After all, large wild animals have a stronger sense of territory. If someone comes to sweep them from time to time, no one will stay here stupidly.
After Yin Keqin and his son heard the news, the expressions on their faces did not change at all. They said very casually: "It's ahead of schedule this year. It seems that life in the two countries will be difficult again this year. It's okay. We will be on our way then. Be careful, if you encounter soldiers passing by, just stay away and don't walk with those soldiers."
Seeing this, Qingyan didn't say anything more. Sure enough, the soil and water support a person. She thought it was a big deal, but in the eyes of others, it was ordinary.
What she and Chou Chou wanted to do has been done today. They will stay here for another day tomorrow to see if they can absorb all the evil energy.
After all, Yin Jin's body was still buried for him. There was no deep hatred between them anyway. There was no need to take away all the bodies. It was better to let them bury them in peace.
Moreover, they also wanted to study the contents of the seven boxes. It was inconvenient to have them at home, and they couldn't just disappear from time to time.
She didn't dare to just take it outside to look at it. If something happened, it would be bad if someone was hurt.
When she returned to the house at night, Qingyan and Chou Chou entered the space again.
Chou Chou wanted to open one of the boxes and take a look. The boxes were all two feet square, except for the different patterns on them.
They picked one with a circular animal pattern on it and a copper lock hanging on it. It didn't look very strong, let alone ugly, and Qingyan could easily pull it open.
As a result, the lock was pulled off, but the lid could not be opened. Even after trying for a long time, it did not budge.
It seems that the lock is just a decoration, and the key point is the formation on the box.
Chou Chou tried other boxes, but did not open the same ones, so he sat aside and discussed with Qingyan.
"I don't know what's in this box? It's sealed with a formation. If someone among their descendants appears who can restore the country, won't they be able to open it even if they get these? No matter how good or powerful the things in there are, it's useless Can’t?”
Qingyan complained with a puzzled expression.
Chou Chou also nodded in agreement, and stopped midway through. He raised his head and said to Qingyan as if he had thought of something: "Do you think this formation is only for outsiders? The descendants of his own family do not have these obstacles. of."
Qingyan's eyes lit up, "That's right! Isn't that how it's shown in TV dramas? As long as you have your own bloodline, you can directly enter any secret cave and claim your master with a drop of blood.
But the words of outsiders are not necessarily true. Not only will they not accept you, they may even directly kill you.
Obviously, we are the outsiders now, maybe someone with Yin Jin blood can easily open it.
But the problem now is that Yin Jin's descendants have all been killed by himself, where can we find his bloodline now? "
Chou Chou raised his eyebrows and said: "Far away in the horizon, close in front of you, isn't there something ready-made in space?"
Qingyan: "Are you talking about Yin Jin? But he is already dead, so a corpse will do?"
Chou Chou smiled and said, "This means that I have foresight. Yin Kejing's soul is still in that body, and I did not pull him out, so he is still "alive" even though he is asleep now.
I originally planned to absorb the evil spirit from their bodies, then extract the souls, and let them reincarnate. It would be a real reincarnation, not the previous reincarnation using secret methods.
It is abnormal for him to be able to recover his memory as soon as he encounters his true body, just like being reborn, and to be able to return to his previous body.
After a real reincarnation, there is no memory of the previous life, and the sins on the body can be redeemed in the underworld, and the person truly becomes a different person.
But it's not that time yet, he still has the evil spirit in him, and I haven't absorbed it yet, but it will be soon, and it will only take the next two days at most. "
So when Yin Jin was tricked by Chou Chou, Chou Chou waved his paw, and Yin Jin woke up.
Opening his eyes, he first looked around, then glanced at Chou Chou fearfully.
Seeing that Chou Chou had shrunk in size and turned into the appearance of an ordinary ape, the fear in his eyes was reduced a lot.
When we fought him before, Chou Chou was in Zhu Yan's form, which looked more intimidating. Now he looks like this, not only intimidating, but also a bit naive.
Then he saw Qingyan again, and his eyes began to roll again.
Chou Chou snorted coldly and walked towards him with pressure!
Yin Jin's body stiffened, and his expression immediately changed. He lowered his eyes and did not dare to make another mistake.
After all, this is Chou Chou's natal space. It can be said that it controls the life and death of all creatures in it. It only takes a thought to kill Yin Jin.
Just like now, it just released some pressure, and the other party couldn't bear it anymore, and his body was shaking a little.
