Getting up early at a fixed time every day has been Jiang Yue's good habit for many years.
No matter how late he slept, Jiang Yue would wake up naturally when this time came.
After a night, I looked at the jade silkworms again, and half of the Ningbang tobacco plant was wiped out.
"Good guy, you've got a great appetite."
Looking at the jade silkworm again, there are a few more circles of silver threads. This thread shimmers with a faint silver light, which is even more crystal clear in the daytime, and looks very pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Yue judged that the jade silkworm was spinning silk on a large scale. Once it starts spinning silk on a large scale, it will probably stop eating.
Not being stingy at the moment, he took out two tobacco plants, chopped them into fine pieces, and spread them over two layers.
"Old man, keep working hard, there's enough condensation pipe."
After washing up, Jiang Yue went downstairs.
I found that my sister-in-law had gotten up early and was busy in the kitchen. Breakfast was almost ready.
"Auntie, are you ready to return home?"
"There is ready-made food, but it still can't stop your mouth? When my sister-in-law is gone, you won't be able to eat it no matter how good Auntie Hou is!"
Jiang Ying rubbed his sleepy eyes and had just gotten up.
"Xiao Ying, wake up the three dogs." My sister-in-law commanded the whole family fiercely.
In an hour, breakfast was ready and the family was ready to go.
The boxes of supplies on the small truck were not moved at all. Except for some luggage, there was basically nothing to move.
My uncle was responsible for driving the truck, and Jiang Yue escorted the truck.
Jiang Ying drove Jiang Yue's Ranger, his sister-in-law took care of the baby, and the three dogs followed the car.
It takes several hours to go from Xingcheng to Panshiling. However, it was quite peaceful on the road in broad daylight.
The landslide on the Dajin Mountain side has been completely cleared and access is clear.
Near noon, the car arrived at the entrance of Panshiling Village.
The last battle left some remnants in Panshiling. Because no one came in or out for a long time, the fallen leaves and branches on the village road were not cleaned, making it look a bit desolate.
Looking at the village entrance, the entire Panshiling small mountain village looks dilapidated, more like an abandoned small mountain village.
The car slowly drove into the door of Jiang Yue's house.
Jiang Yue got out of the car, opened the courtyard door, and drove in.
The property rights of this old house belong to Jiang Yue's father, so it is regarded as Jiang Yue's house.
Sangou's family also has an old house a hundred meters away. However, Sangou's old house has not been inhabited all year round. It has been in disrepair for a long time, leaking air and rain everywhere, and is obviously not suitable for habitation.
Although Jiang Yue's two-and-a-half-story building is not luxurious, it is good enough to move in with your bags.
The home is fully equipped with all kinds of furniture. Not to mention my sister-in-law's family of three, it is more than enough for their big family to live in.
Two female generals lit a fire and prepared lunch.
Jiang Yue and Sangou were responsible for moving things out of the car.
After a lot of busy work, I finally settled in. A simple and warm lunch just came out of the oven.
"Xiao Yue, why do I feel that no one seems to live in Panshiling? Don't some people still live here usually?" My uncle had some questions.
Although there are not many families in the mountain village of Panshiling, there is not even a single left-behind family.
The fields beside the village entrance road were not cultivated. They were overgrown with weeds and no crops could be seen. Various details showed that Panshiling was no longer inhabited.
Under these conditions, my uncle felt even more terrified to live here. Judging from his tone, he was probably trying to persuade my sister-in-law to give up the idea of returning to Panshiling.
Of course Jiang Yue knew what was going on. The old people who were left behind were all taken away by Zhao Shouyin and became part of Jiuli Pavilion's army of ghosts. They were all wiped out in that battle.
These things are exactly what Jiang Yue will tell his sister-in-law soon.
But seeing his uncle's courage, Jiang Yue decided to tell his sister-in-law alone.
Sangou hesitated to speak, but was glared at by Jiang Yue. He shrank his head and picked up his rice obediently.
"In the past few years, all the villagers left behind in Panshiling have moved away. Some of the left-behind elderly people may have passed away one after another, right?"
This statement could not withstand careful scrutiny, but seeing that my sister-in-law seemed a little unhappy, I did not continue to ask.
After lunch, Jiang Yue and the others were not in a hurry to go back.
Call the three dogs and walk around in a circle.
We have contacted the workers for repairing the ancestral hall gate, and they will come to do the work in the afternoon.
Before the workers arrived, Jiang Yue decided to patrol the area first to see if there was anything unusual in Panshi Ridge recently.
After walking around from house to house, each house looked like it had obviously been unoccupied for a long time. The inside and outside of the house were covered with spider silk, and the weeds in and outside the yard were almost knee-high. The courtyard walls of several houses have even begun to collapse, making them dilapidated buildings.
Jiang Yue sighed secretly.
Thinking back to ten years ago, or even six or seven years ago, there were still many left-behind villagers in Panshiling.
Who would have thought that it has only been a few years and it has already fallen into such a state of desolation, which is really disappointing.
"Second brother, that old bastard Zhao Shouyin killed these people in our village. Even if the ghost is destroyed, there will still be bones, right?" Even though Sangou is young, he still takes the incense and love seriously.
Jiang Yue raised his head and glanced at the back mountain.
That day, hundreds of ghosts were walking at night. Judging from their walking tracks, they were walking from the back mountain to Jiuli Pavilion.
Jiang Yue guessed that most of the corpses of the left-behind villagers were dumped in the back mountains.
"Go to the back mountain and have a look."
For Sangou, the back mountain of Panshiling is equivalent to the backyard of his home. He can touch it and walk out with his eyes closed.
After a while, the two followed the traces and came to the cave.
The two of them stayed at the entrance of the cave for a while. Jiang Yueer tried his best to make sure there was no danger inside, and then he called the three dogs into the cave.
Inside the cave, the remnants of the magic circle left by Zhao Shouyin are still clearly visible.
There are still remnants of burned-out candles in the four corners of the cave. The candle wax dripped on the cave floor, leaving obvious evidence.
The magic circle in the middle of the cave, with its strange graphics and weird array ornaments, is exactly the same as it was then, looking weird and ferocious.
Around the circle, more than a dozen corpses had rotted, exuding a suffocating rotten smell.
There was a pool of blood next to each corpse, but it had dried up and turned into a dark brown pool of blood, witnessing the tragic scene of these people's throats being cut.
"This beast!" Sangou was so angry that he was trembling all over. Although these corpses were rotten, all the faces were familiar to Sangou. They were all fellow villagers who had grown up watching them.
Jiang Yue checked around, but was still a little worried. Step forward and smear and wipe the array pattern.
"Sangou, find more firewood and burn them all."
There were so many corpses that digging deep pits would require tools, but they did not carry these tools.
Burning it may be the best way to deal with it.
Firstly, it can prevent this magic circle from being used by future generations, and secondly, it can also prevent these corpses from changing and turning into evil spirits to harm the world.
Although there seems to be no sign of change in these corpses at present, no one can guarantee that something unexpected will happen in this strange era.
If this cave touches some spiritual power of heaven and earth, it is not completely impossible to cause these corpses to mutate.
My sister-in-law and her family will always live in Panshiling, try their best to nip dangers in the bud and eliminate risks before they occur.
As for the ferocious beasts deep in the mountains around Panshi Ridge, there is no need to worry. The last beast wave had basically wiped out all the ferocious beasts within a hundred miles.
I checked around the back mountain and found no potential risks.
Jiang Yue stood on the hillside and looked far away from the village. He walked out of the village road and walked nine miles towards Dajin Mountain, which was Jiuli Pavilion.
Jiuli Pavilion has to go through several twists and turns, but you can't see it from the angle of the back mountain.
Thinking of the broken beams of Jiuli Pavilion and the broken back of Suzaku, Jiang Yue felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.
Zhao Shouyin committed many evil deeds and was executed.
But Jiang Yue always felt that the rumor that Jiuli Pavilion was related to the feng shui of a place had gone back hundreds of years. Jiuli Pavilion suppressed a party's luck, and the ominous sign of a broken vermillion bird's spine was definitely not caused by Zhao Shouyin's evildoing.
The Feng Shui aura of Dajin Mountain cannot be that small.
It has been rumored since ancient times that the peaks of the Dajinshan Mountains are related to the fate of the entire Star City. It is precisely because there is a missing mountain in the south that it is a fly in the ointment.
Therefore, practice Jiuli Pavilion to supplement your potential.
It can be said that Jiuli Pavilion is the key to this Feng Shui field, but it is also the fatal weakness of this Feng Shui field.
Thousands of feet are potential, and hundreds of feet are form.
Jiuli Pavilion undoubtedly has obvious flaws in terms of situation.
Now that the beam is broken, from a Feng Shui perspective, this defect will undoubtedly be magnified infinitely.
"Second brother, I wonder how Jiuliting is doing now?"
Jiang Yue was actually a child who grew up in Star City. When he was a child, he lived with his grandfather in Panshiling, which was not a long-term stay.
In contrast, Sangou is a child who really grew up in Panshiling.
Sangou's feelings for Panshiling are obviously more complicated.
Naturally, I believed even more deeply in the rumors that Jiuli Pavilion was magical.
The battle scene in Jiuli Pavilion is not as spectacular as the beast tide.
But in terms of the traces left by the battle, Jiuli Pavilion was undoubtedly much more tragic.
Panshiling was pushed horizontally by the spiritual fire and was almost purified, but it was not that obvious.
Jiuli Pavilion's hundreds of ghosts pulled its hair, which more or less shook the foundation of Jiuli Pavilion.
I recall that day in the Jiuli Pavilion battle, when hundreds of ghosts moved the mountain, and the strange ghost rope almost dragged out the red gossip sealed in Jiuli Pavilion.
Later, the flying sword jumped out of Kenmaru and killed Baigui, and the red Bagua returned to Jiuli Pavilion.
Since then, Jiang Yue has not been to Jiuli Pavilion again.
At this moment, I came back after half a month. From a distance, Jiuli Pavilion's momentum was obviously more sluggish, and the broken spine was obviously depressed a lot.
In such a comparison, it is even far inferior to the state seen when I visited the grave last time.
Sangou looked ugly: "Second brother, Jiuli Pavilion may collapse if the beams are not rebuilt."
Renovating the roof of a pavilion is simple from a civil engineering perspective. But from a metaphysical perspective, it's not that easy.
Who knows how many magic formations are arranged in Jiuli Pavilion? Who knows how much meaning the red Bagua and the runes on the Bagua contain?
Changing a beam rashly is an act of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, and may not help.
"Let's go over and have a look."
A white tiger fights a blue dragon, and a red bird breaks its back.
This is what they saw last time they visited the grave.
This time, the two brothers revisited their old place, and their mood was undoubtedly heavier.
Before he could get closer, Jiang Yue suddenly stopped.
"Sangou, is there anyone in the pavilion?"
The three dogs were startled and looked towards the pavilion.
"No? Second brother, have you seen someone? It can't be..."
Sangou has a timid character. Instead of being afraid, he quickens his pace and trots towards the pavilion.
Jiang Yuesheng was afraid that something might be wrong, so he quickly followed up.
The two of them came to the pavilion. The pavilion was dark and gloomy, but it was empty and there was no one around.
"Second brother, aren't you mistaken? The shadows appearing in this ghost place are probably not human beings, right?" Sangou mumbled.
Jiang Yue frowned and said nothing, instead looking around the pavilion.
With his current eyesight, there is no way he could be mistaken. Just now, a silhouette clearly flashed past the pavilion and disappeared into the blind spot.
How could I get it wrong?
While he was in doubt, the three dogs next to him let out a strange bark and turned around suddenly.
"who?"
Sangou looked shocked, turned his head and looked around, but there was also no shadow in his field of vision.
"Second brother, someone just slapped me on the back of the head." Sangou touched the back of his head, his face full of surprise.
He even suspected that his second brother was playing tricks on him.
"Why are you looking at me?" Jiang Yue was speechless, "You don't think it's me, do you?"
"Second brother, is it really not you?"
Jiang Yue rolled his eyes: "Is your second brother so boring?"
"What the hell, who is that bastard?" Seeing Jiang Yue's denial, Sangou suddenly became angry and felt that he was being teased.
Jumping on his feet and cursing.
"oops!"
Sangou's hand touched the back of his head again.
This time it was not a touch, but a solid brain collapse, commonly known as stir-fried hairy chestnuts.
This time, Sangou couldn't possibly suspect Jiang Yue because Jiang Yue was in front of him.
"Second brother, someone knocked me on the head." Sangou felt aggrieved, as if he was bullied by an older child when he was a child and went to help his second brother.
Jiang Yue also realized at this moment that there was definitely some force behind this.
But now it is broad daylight, the sun is shining brightly, it is the time when the Yang Qi is strong in the afternoon, how dare evil spirits come out to run wild?
He's not an evil spirit, is he a human being?
If it's a human, where is he hiding? Unless he could become invisible, or at least have supersonic speed, it would be impossible to trick the three dogs and then disappear from the sight of the two.
Moreover, Jiang Yue was so focused just now that he really didn't feel anyone moving.
No matter how fast a person goes, there will always be movement.
"over there!"
Sangou suddenly shouted and pointed in the direction of Dajin Mountain: "Second brother, I saw it. There was a figure that flashed into the forest."
The place he was pointing to was about one or two hundred meters away from where they were.
One second he gave Sangou a stir-fried chestnut, and the next second he ran into the forest? What speed is this? Even if it's a ghost, it can't move this fast, right?
"Go over and have a look."
Jiang Yue's heart moved and he took the lead.
"Ma Dan, it's unreasonable to tease your Sangou father. It doesn't matter whether you are a human or a ghost, don't let me catch you." Sangou cursed and followed.
"Keep your mouth clean." Jiang Yue scolded.
Going up to Dajin Mountain is no joke.
The people who are buried there are all the ancestors of Panshiling from all generations, and their dirty mouths are disrespectful to their ancestors, which is outrageous.
For some reason, Jiang Yue had an intuition. It was sunny and it was afternoon, so it was not an evil spirit causing trouble, but something else.
