The boat quickly docked, but the place where Xu Huaigu and Gu Sanyue landed was not very good. The shore was surrounded by swamps and dense branches, making it impossible to pass.
And this small boat seemed to have been arranged a long time ago. As soon as it sailed to the shore, it immediately lost power and stopped, no different from ordinary small wooden boats.
After going through all kinds of hardships this time, he finally arrived at Feiyuzhou. Xu Huaigu’s top priority was to return Zuoqiu Xun’s ashes, Pipa and Baijian to the New Yuzong. However, he didn’t even have a map of Feiyuzhou, and even the Xinyuzong Don't know where.
Therefore, the top priority is to find a place with people, buy a map of Feiyuzhou, and then make travel plans.
Xu Huaigu is now notorious. It won't take long for monks all over the world to know how this born swordsman from East Fuyao Continent colluded with the demon clan, how he killed people, and how he forced a righteous Nine Realm monk to death. die.
By that time, Xu Huaigu was no longer a born swordsman, but a street rat that everyone shouted to beat.
He had already decided to change his name in Feiyuzhou, try to keep a low profile, and let Gu Sanyue take the lead for him.
While reading the book, he was at the edge of the swamp on the coast and no one noticed it. Xu Huaigu quietly climbed into the sky with his sword. From a distance, he saw a small river not far to the west. There were a few thin streaks of smoke in the upper reaches of the river. So he determined the direction, took Gu Sanyue Yujian to the river, and then walked up along the river.
Along the way, he agreed with Gu Sanyue that he would keep a low profile, so he replaced the long sword on his waist with Gu Sanyue's. His waist was empty, so he took out a bag full of clothes and carried it on his back. Looks like a little follower of Gu Sanyue.
Gu Sanyue was still a little uneasy about this, but Xu Huaigu insisted on it, so she had no choice but to comply with Xu Huaigu's wishes.
The two of them had been sailing on the sea for a long time. Not long after walking along the river, the sky turned dark.
After walking about three or four miles further upstream, I finally saw a beach on the river bank, with a few lights shining vaguely, and a dozen small houses scattered on the beach, which was extremely lonely.
Gu Sanyue glanced at that place, stopped Xu Huaigu suddenly, and looked around again, only to see that the surroundings of the small village were filled with trees that should not be there.
Mulberry trees were planted in the south of the village, willows were planted in the north, locust trees were planted in the east, cypress trees were planted in the west, and many poplar trees were scattered in the open space in the village.
Even if Gu Sanyue is not proficient in the art of Yin Yang and Five Elements, he can still recognize that these five kinds of trees are the five Yin trees, which are the most concentrated Yin energy.
According to the feng shui of folk houses, mulberry trees are the
"Sang", Tong
The word "mourning". Willow trees are often planted in tombs, and locust trees are often planted in graves.
On the right side of "Locust Tree" are ghosts, while cypress trees only grow in graveyards. The poplar trees in the village are also called ghost clapping hands, because the sound of the poplar trees blown by the wind is actually the same as ghost clapping hands.
Anyone who knows a little bit about the art of Yin Yang and Five Elements will know that this is a taboo in building a house, and this planting in this village is obviously intentional. There is something wrong with this village.
Xu Huaigu didn't understand this at all, and looked at Gu Sanyue in confusion, asking, "Why are you stopping me? What's wrong with this village?" Gu Sanyue looked solemn, pointed over there, and said softly: "Nan Sanyue Planting mulberries, willows in the north, locust trees in the east, cypresses in the west, and poplars in the middle are the five yin trees that gather the yin. This village is intentional, I am afraid it is not just an ordinary village." Xu Huaigu is not only not afraid, Instead, he smiled and said: "How do you know these things? Even I don't know." Gu Sanyue said: "It's not like when I lived in the village and listened to the older generation. Although these things are weird, they are true. It conforms to the art of Yin Yang and Five Elements, so it cannot be disbelieved." Xu Huaigu nodded thoughtfully, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.
Gu Sanyule said reproachfully: "Master, why are you not worried at all? Do you not believe what I said?" Xu Huaigu glanced at her and said with a smile: "How can you? This place must be full of yin. I can also feel that the spiritual energy there is very dirty. It’s just that ordinary people need to be afraid of ghosts. You are now a first-level warrior with strong energy and blood. Ghosts should respect you three points, right? Why are your thoughts still stuck in the past? What about ordinary people?" Gu Sanyue heard what Xu Huaigu said and felt it made sense, but her thoughts since childhood still made her afraid of ghosts.
So she asked worriedly: "Master, are you really okay? What if there is a very powerful ghost inside and I can't suppress it?" Xu Huaigu said casually: "What are you afraid of? Think back to when I was in Lichuan Mountain in Yamato Country , I have seen ghosts all over the mountain, and the tallest one is an eighth-level ghost. Are you still afraid of these lonely wild ghosts? I am behind you, just go in, don't be afraid." Gu San Yue nodded, she couldn't trust herself, but she still believed in Xu Huaigu's abilities.
So she took a few deep breaths, swallowed, cheered herself up, and headed towards the weird village.
Not long after, the two of them had gradually approached the village, and they could only hear the sound of a woman singing in the village, adding to the strange atmosphere.
If it weren't for Xu Huaigu behind him, Gu Sanyue would have been scared out of his wits. But she didn't want Xu Huaigu to think she was timid, so she still walked into the village.
Xu Huaigu whispered to her: "Knock on the door. We will find a house to stay for one night and then continue on the road tomorrow." At this moment, the sound of the opera suddenly stopped, and the surroundings were suddenly so quiet that it was not like the human world. .
Gu Sanyue could only hear his own heavy and rapid heartbeat. He nodded nervously to Xu Huaigu and walked towards the nearest thatched house.
Gu Sanyue stood at the door, looked back at Xu Huaigu, mustered up the courage, raised his hand and knocked heavily on the door several times, and asked, "Is there anyone there?"
"Dong dong...dong dong..." Gu Sanyue's knocking on the door was the only sound in this dead village. Her hands were shaking, but she still knocked on the wooden door one after another.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone? We just want to stay for one night. Is there anyone?" After a long time, the wooden door suddenly made a sound.
With a "squeak" sound, Gu Sanyue took a step back. The wooden door was slowly opened, and inside was a middle-aged man with pale skin.
He had unkempt hair, sunken eyes, and lifeless pale skin. He glanced at Gu Sanyue, who was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe.
The ghost-like man did nothing but shook his head and closed the door. Xu Huaigu frowned. He could clearly feel that this man was not a human being.
Gu Sanyue fearfully said to Xu Huaigu: "Master, how about we rest outside for the night? This village is too weird." Xu Huaigu shook his head and said: "There is nothing terrible about this person. He just rejected you. Continue Next house." Gu Sanyue had no choice but to go to the next house. This one belonged to a young and voluptuous beautiful woman. Like the man before, her skin was strangely pale.
Seeing her salivating look, she really wanted to invite Xu Huaigu into the house, but due to some insurmountable rules, she shook her head and closed the door.
Seeing that although these people looked scary, they would not do anything scary, Gu Sanyue gradually became more courageous.
She then knocked on the doors of several more houses. The ones who opened the doors included old women, old men, young men, beautiful women, and even two teenage children. But without exception, they all said the same thing. Without saying anything, he rejected Gu Sanyue's request to stay overnight, shook his head and closed the door.
Gu Sanyule just knocked on the door and walked into the depths of the village. All around were low thatched houses, but in the center of the village stood a house surrounded by a huge courtyard wall. It was much better than the thatched house.
At Xu Huaigu's request, Gu Sanyue came to the door of this big house again. She held the rusty door knocker and knocked lightly. Suddenly, the sound of heavy bronze hitting spread throughout the village, faint and piercing the deepest fear in people's hearts.
Gu Sanyue wiped the sweat from her forehead and shouted: "Is there anyone here? We want to stay here for one night. Is there anyone there?" She knocked on the door for a long time, but there was still no answer at all. She turned around He turned to Xu Huaigu and said, "There seems to be no one. How about we go to the next house?" Xu Huaigu said, "Wait a minute." Gu Sanyue shouted a few more times, and finally heard the sound of light footsteps coming from inside the house. , then an old lady all in white opened the door, looked at the two of them anxiously, shook her head slightly, and looked very scared.
Although this old woman is very old, she is different from the people in the thatched house before. Her face is slightly rosy. She is a living person.
The old woman was still shaking her head hurriedly, as if urging the two of them to leave quickly, but Xu Huaigu didn't seem to understand what she meant. He took a step forward and smiled at the old woman: "Old man, our brother and sister were passing by here. We just wanted to Stay for one night. If there is a spare room in the house, please do it for your convenience. No matter how shabby it is, it doesn't matter, we just want it for one night." The old woman frowned anxiously and shook her head quickly, and suddenly the wrinkles on her face seemed to come to life. Same.
But at this moment, they heard a man's strong voice coming from the depths of the house, saying: "Grandma Miao, we have always been hospitable. It's not safe outside at night, please invite them in." Grandma Miao answered.
"Yes, sir." Then he glanced at the two of them helplessly, sighed resentfully, and said, "Please come in." Xu Huaigu glanced at Gu Sanyue, whose legs were shaking with fear, and Gu Sanyue had no choice but to With heavy steps, Granny Miao walked into the yard, and Xu Huaigu also followed.
Granny Miao closed the door of the house, and then led the two of them through the courtyard to a side room.
Xu Huaigu asked insinuatingly: "Old man, we brother and sister got lost and ended up here. How can we go out?" Granny Miao glanced at him and said angrily: "Go out? What are you thinking about after entering the house? Go out? I advise you two ungrateful young people to wait until tonight before we talk!" Xu Huaigu smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart at all. Granny Miao only thought that he was a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers, and she was very disdainful.
Granny Miao took the two of them to a room, settled them in, and then went out, leaving Xu Huaigu and Gu Sanyue huddled on the same bed.
Gu Sanyue was still scared, so she lit an oil lamp beside the bed, opened her eyes and looked there, hoping that the little firelight would bring her a sense of security.
Xu Huaigu lay down, closed his eyes, and actually wanted to sleep with his clothes on. He was so shocked that Gu Sanyue was a little embarrassed and said, "How can you sleep now? What if a ghost comes in?" Xu Huaigu put his hand to his lips, motioning her not to speak, and said half-jokingly: "Ghosts only catch people who can't sleep. Have you never heard of this?" Gu Sanyue thought about it in fear, and said Lying down, the two of them slept on their sides. There was no sense of charm at all, only quiet fear.
Suddenly, Xu Huaigu seemed to hear a few thunders coming from outside, and then a drizzle of rain fell. The babble of the opera that had stopped before sounded again in the house.
