Zhou Qiao and Yang Gan returned to Heirong Village and told the leader of Liu Village that the cave god was originally a mandrill to confuse everyone; they had got rid of that thing, and there was no need to give their daughters to the so-called cave god in the future. The host was very grateful after hearing this and had another good conversation. He knew that Zhou Qiao was inquiring about witchcraft.
I took Zhou Qiao to see a lame old man who was nearly 60 years old in the village. The old man told Zhou Qiao in Miao dialect that there was a mysterious Miao village in the mountains in western Hunan. It was the witch seedlings that were almost extinct.
That place was isolated from the world. He accidentally entered it when he was a boy and walked out in a daze. He only remembered the approximate location of the place. Maybe there is something you are looking for there. After hearing this, the two of them finally Feeling like I saw some hope, I asked about the general location;
Zhou Qiao and Yang Gan thanked the lame old man and left Heirong Village immediately heading to the Witch Gu Miao Village deep in the mountains.
Zhou Qiao and the two drove for several days in the mountains, wandering around and came to a lush bamboo forest that was quiet and fragrant. The bamboo leaves swayed and made a rustling sound. The breeze blew by, and the bamboo leaves rustled.
There was a deep path in the bamboo forest. Zhou Qiao and Yang Qian walked along the path toward the mountains. The deeper they went, the denser the bamboo leaves became. The sounds of birds, animals and insects gradually disappeared, leaving only the extremely silent valley.
Zhou Qiao and Yang Gan quickened their pace and soon found an earth temple hidden in a bamboo forest. The sky was getting dark and they planned to spend the night here.
I don’t know how long this earthen temple has been established. The plaques on the temple have long since decayed and fallen. The door is covered with weeds. Zhou Qiao and Yang Gan opened the door. It was pitch dark inside. They picked up the fire folding sticks and lit the oil lamp. , and suddenly the whole room became brighter.
Zhou Qiao and Yang Gan looked around for a while and determined that there was no danger. Then they sat down and rested. They found dead branches and lit them to make a fire. They drank some water and ate a few pieces of dry food to fill their stomachs. After driving for several days, I was too tired and in no mood to chat, so I lay down to rest within a few minutes.
At midnight, there was a faint sound of thunder outside. Zhou Qiao was awakened. The tip of his ears vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves and iron tools outside. Zhou Qiao quickly woke up Yang Qian.
"Why is there the sound of horse hooves in the middle of the night? Brother Zhou, are you having a nightmare?" Yang Gan rubbed his eyes sleepily, yawned and looked at Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiao stood up with a solemn expression and grabbed Yang Qian's arm: "Follow me!"
Before Yang Gan could react, he was pulled by Zhou Qiao to the gate of the earth temple. Zhou Qiao gently opened the door a crack and the two of them looked outside;
I saw a group of Yin people wearing armor, riding horses, and holding spears walking past outside, like a well-trained army. The leader was a man in golden armor, a silver helmet on his head, and a The crimson horse, holding a golden sword, turned out to be a sinister commander.
"This~this is the Yin soldiers crossing the border," Zhou Qiao murmured in a low voice, feeling shocked in his heart.
"The Yin soldiers are crossing the border? What is the Yin soldiers crossing the border?" Yang Gan asked doubtfully.
"Yin soldiers passing through" is the legend that the Yin commander comes to patrol the Yang world, so he will let a group of Yin soldiers clear the way. It is best for strangers to lie on the ground and must not raise their heads to look at each other, otherwise they will be discovered by the passing Yin soldiers and blow off their shoulders. If you have Yang Fire, you will definitely get seriously ill in the future, and there are even rumors that you will be taken away by Yin soldiers. There are also some old people who say that encountering Yin soldiers across the border is a sign of great misfortune, and whoever sees them will suffer bloody disasters. Look at so many Yin soldiers appearing here, and the leader is a Yin commander. Something big must have happened! "
"No wonder these Yin soldiers look so menacing. Brother Zhou, we can't afford to offend them, so hide quickly! It would be terrible if they are caught by the Yin soldiers!" Yang Gan swallowed in fear.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look first and then talk."
Zhou Qiao suppressed the fear in his heart and stared carefully at Yin Shuai riding on horseback in the distance.
The sinister commander seemed to have noticed their presence, and turned to look at Zhou Qiao and the others. They were so frightened that they quickly retracted their heads and hid behind the wall.
When the Yin commander saw that no one dared to poke his head out, he snorted coldly and continued to lead the soldiers forward. When the Yin soldiers disappeared, Zhou Qiao and Yang Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh~ Fortunately, I hid quickly, I was almost unlucky. Brother Zhou, those Yin soldiers are really powerful. Judging from the murderous aura on their bodies, they must have killed many people. I just looked at the armor on their bodies, and it turned out to be... Made of copper.”
"The two little guys are quite courageous." Suddenly, an old and rich voice sounded in their ears, startling them.
The two of them followed the source of the sound and saw a majestic and tall old man wearing a green cloth robe and a gauze hat suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Are you a human or a ghost? How did you get in?" Yang Gan asked bravely.
The old man chuckled and said: "I am neither a human nor a ghost. People in the world call me the "Night Wandering God". Have you ever heard of me?"
"Yeyoushen...it turns out to be Lord Yeyoushen. I'm disrespectful." Zhou Qiao replied in a very respectful tone.
Yang Qian also followed Zhou Qiao's example and bowed down to apologize: "Junior, I'm rude, please forgive me, Lord Yeyoushen."
"I'm just passing by for a rest, so you don't have to be nervous." The old man waved his hand and said it was okay.
"That's it," the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Qiao had long heard that the Night God was the God of Night in folk belief. He liked to wander around and often appeared at night. He was a kind God.
Because the Night God can see things that the world cannot see, he is considered the nemesis of ghosts.
"I wonder what Lord Yeyoushen is here for?"
The Night Travel God touched his beard and said with a smile: "A powerful evil creature from the Yin world escaped to the Yang world. This time, both the Yin and Yang realms sent envoys to capture it. I was ordered to come and capture this powerful evil creature."
"A yin object?" Zhou Qiao asked doubtfully, "What kind of yin object can actually help the Night Walker God to take action himself?"
"A thousand-year-old zombie, its strength is extraordinary. All the Yin officials in the Yin world jointly managed to seal it and suppress it. However, this thousand-year-old zombie is extremely cunning. One day, it took the opportunity to sneak attack the Yin officials in the Yin world and the Yin officials in the Yang world. The envoy suffered heavy casualties, and the Yin and Yang realms suffered heavy losses. This incident aroused the anger of the underworld, and the underworld decided to send me and the Yin commander to capture this evil creature."
Zhou Qiao and Yang Gan looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes. Thousand-year zombie? That's a giant that can move mountains and seas! Zombies of this level could sweep across the world, and were definitely beyond the reach of the two of them. They immediately stopped asking any more questions, for fear of getting into trouble.
After the night wandering god leaves,
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and quietly left the earth temple.
