The years of reselling the haunted house

I was taken aback, since I have already found this valley, how could I not be able to get in after going out?

Chapter 1275 He is here

I originally thought that while I was staying in Happy Valley, the third uncle might be looking for me outside.If he can think that I have entered Xiaoyao Valley, he should also come in to find me.

And with my current relationship with Granny Yan, there won't be any danger after the third uncle comes in. If our father and son go well, we can completely reunite in Happy Valley, which is something to be thankful for.

But when Granny Yan said that, I was at a loss again.Now that I'm out, I can't find it.Then the third uncle might not be able to find it here again.

Seeing my doubts, Grandma Yan asked me what was wrong.

I answered truthfully and asked her why I couldn't get back after I went out.

Granny Yan smiled and asked me, "Then how did you find Xiaoyao Valley this time?"

I took out the fire raccoon tail in my arms and said, "That depends on this. I used the fire raccoon tail to summon two little civet cats, and they brought me here."

Granny Yan took the fire raccoon tail, looked it over carefully, and then gave it back to me, and said in disbelief: "This is really a miraculous thing. I didn't expect that after all the calculations, I still missed this step. I didn't expect that Two little raccoon cats will reveal the whereabouts of Xiaoyao Valley."

I asked again: "Grandma Yan, do you raise these civet cats in your valley? Also, have you ever hung the dead civet cats upside down on our house door and in the woods?"

But as soon as I asked, I regretted it.This question is stupid enough, Granny Yan has been guarding Xiaoyao Valley, no one is here, only these civet cats are companions, how could she kill the civet cats and hang them in front of our door instead.

Sure enough, Granny Yan was taken aback when she heard that: "No, how could I kill civet cats? These civet cats can't be regarded as being raised by me, because they all found here by themselves following the smell of chickpea. Then The chickpea has a natural allure to them. I discovered very early on that my Xiaoyaogu people do not know anyone, but they can attract civet cats. These civet cats entered my Xiaoyaogu, as if they were lost. I tried to use the smoke control technique to control them, and it really worked. I happen to be lonely here, and I can have a lot of fun with these civet cats. In addition, there are some jobs in this valley. I’m too lazy to do it, so I assign them to these civet cats. But once the civet cats enter Xiaoyao Valley, they will lose their freedom. This is also against the natural law of survival, so I will not let those small civet cats enter. Xiaoyaogu. You may have attracted two little civet cats last night. These two little civet cats searched for the trace of the female civet cat, and then followed the smell and track to Chase the Xiaoyaogu. This is my negligence, but now I have already lured all the little civet cats around to Xiaoyao Valley. And I just rearranged the yin and yang positions in Xiaoyao Valley, after you go out, this place will change, and you will no longer be able to find where it is."

It can be seen that Granny Yan manages this piece of Xiaoyao Valley in an orderly manner and controls it freely.If you want it to appear, it will appear, and if you don't want people to find it, you can change it at any time by adjusting yin and yang and feng shui.Just this skill is enough to make people speechless.

But when it comes to civet cats, I remembered something again, and asked: "Then last night, a civet cat appeared outside with a little straw man wearing a shroud on its back. I just saw the shroud and thought it was my third uncle." Only when there was danger, did I venture into Xiaoyao Valley. What happened to that civet cat?"

I was asking casually, because I was basically sure that the appearance of the civet cat should not be because of the third uncle.The reason why I judged that it would have something to do with the third uncle was entirely because of the shroud worn by the straw man on the civet cat.But after I entered Xiaoyao Valley, I discovered that there are more shrouds here, and almost every straw man is wearing a shroud.The straw man on the civet cat is no longer enough to prove that it is related to the third uncle.

Since it has nothing to do with third uncle, it must have something to do with Granny Yan.

What I didn't expect at all was that as soon as I said this, I saw Granny Yan who was sitting on the stool, and suddenly stood up.

This made me startled too, and I looked at her puzzled.

I found that Granny Yan's complexion suddenly changed, and her complexion was extremely solemn.

"Grandma Yan, what... what's wrong?"

Granny Yan waved her hand, and asked back: "Li Yang, you mean, last night outside the Xiaoyao Valley, a civet cat with a straw man on its back was found?"

I nodded: "Yes, what's the matter? Granny Yan, your face is so scary. What happened..."

Granny Yan didn't answer my question, she just sat down again weakly, and said indifferently: "Oh no, he's here, he found this place and came here, unexpectedly, he can't wait for two years..."

Granny Yan's inexplicable words made me even more confused.

"Grandma Yan, it seems that you didn't make the civet cat bearer. Do you know who made it? What does this mean?"

Granny Yan said, "Li Yang, tell me about the civet cat and grass man you saw in detail."

I nodded, recalled it carefully, and told Granny Yan what I saw that night.In fact, there is nothing special about the civet cat and grass man, and it is not difficult to describe.

It's just that the grass man is hanging a piece of cloth from the shroud, which looks a little weird.

After listening to my introduction, Granny Yan became more determined. She stood up and said, "Li Yang, I am not safe here anymore. I will help you find that child's soul right now. Once you find it, you will immediately Get out of here. I won't keep you when I am old."

Saying that, Granny Yan turned around and walked out of the hut.

I didn't know why, so I naturally wouldn't wait in the house, so I hurriedly chased Granny Yan to the outside.

The place where Granny Yan went was exactly the poplar forest she planted.She looked inside for the standing straw figures.

I now know that those straw figurines are woven from chickpea crop stalks and leaves, and every time these straw figurines are tied, it means that a soul has entered the Happy Valley with the corpse.

It was only then that I figured out what Granny Yan said at the beginning, every time a person died, she would tie a straw man.The death in her mouth is different from the death I understand.

The death that Granny Yan mentioned was just that the soul could be reborn when it came to her, that is, it could be reincarnated.And these straw people have all been baptized by the smoke of the mother-in-law Yan.That is the puff of smoke that Grandma Yan sprayed on me.

Mysterious arts and Taoism have something in common.Although Granny Yan hasn't explained the function of the soul-washing smoke to me, but based on my experience, it should be to wash away sins and resentment for a soul.With such a soul, it is easier to let go of obsessions and focus on reincarnation.

Chapter 1276

And before that, at the ghost fair, Chen Jinhua told me personally that she had searched everywhere for the whereabouts of Chenchen's soul, saying that she had also checked in the Yin Division, and there was no record of reincarnation, and she could not perceive him in Yangshi. .She suspected that Chenchen's soul was imprisoned by something in Yangjian.

At that time, I didn't quite understand what she said, but now, I can basically be sure that Chenchen's soul must have wandered into Xiaoyao Valley.

Because people in Xiaoyao Valley are invisible, Chen Jinhua cannot perceive his existence unless Chenchen's soul is here.

It's just that there are too many souls living here, there are as many straw people as there are souls.This piece of chickpea forest is the result of Granny Yan over the years, and it looks like it has several acres.And every other distance, there will be a straw man standing.It is conceivable that in such a large forest, there must be more than a hundred of these straw people.

If you want to search for souls one by one this time, if you are unlucky, you may not be able to find Tian Hei.

But obviously I was too worried here, Granny Yan didn't search for them one by one, she relied on her memory to selectively shuttle through the woods.

Granny Yan has lived here for decades, so she must be well aware of the distribution of these straw people.And I followed Granny Yan, shuttling through the chickpea.

Soon, Granny Yan locked onto her target, and stopped in front of a straw man in the depths of the forest.

I looked closely and found that the straw man was similar to other straw men, and there was nothing special about it on the surface.

Granny Yan looked at the grass man, nodded and said, "If my judgment is correct, this is the child you are looking for."

As she said that, Granny Yan tore off a few leaves from the chickpea next to her, and wove them casually with her hands. A palm-sized straw man's prototype appeared in her palm.

Granny Yan handed the straw figure into my hands and asked me to hold it in my palm.

Then she took out another talisman paper and pasted it on the little straw man's body.The straw man was not big at all, but covered by the talisman paper, it even covered his body.

Next, Grandma Yan took out her purple cloud stick, dug out a spoonful of shredded tobacco, lit it, and took two puffs.

I know that Granny Yan's Taoism is mainly focused on smoking control, that is to say, she can't perform Taoism without this purple cloud pole.This looks a little ridiculous, smoking can cast Taoism, if I didn't come here, I wouldn't believe it if I was killed.It can be seen that the magic of mysticism has already far exceeded my imagination.

Granny Yan took two puffs of the cigarette, then spit it out again.The lingering smoke was not blown away by the wind, but continued to stay not far in front of Granny Yan.

Granny Yan was muttering something, I was very close, but I couldn't understand it, and I couldn't hear it clearly. It should be a formula or spell for smoking control.

After Granny Yan finished reciting the mantra, she suddenly opened her mouth, and the cloud of smoke that had been lingering in front of her was very obedient, as if she had come alive, and slowly entered into Granny Yan's mouth.

I only heard from Granny Yan that there is such a smoking control technique, but I have never seen her use it. This time it was really an eye-opener.I understand better that all things have spirits and all things have laws.

The smoke entered Granny Yan's mouth, and without stopping any longer, Grandma Yan spit it out again.

Like an arrow, the puff of smoke came out of Granny Yan's mouth, spraying all of it onto the face of the standing straw man.

Then a miraculous scene happened, what Granny Yan spit out was just a puff of smoke, spraying it on the straw man's face, which actually drew the grass man out of the flames.

The flames blazed up and surrounded the straw man's head in an instant.

I saw that there was still a yellow talisman hidden in the straw man's head, and as the flames burned, the yellow talisman was also involved.

Granny Yan stretched out her right hand and made a gesture.She shook her right hand on top of the straw man's head, and then moved her hand to the top of the straw man's head in my hand.

And the cloud of smoke followed Granny Yan's hand, and slowly floated towards the straw man in my hand.

After drawing the cloud of smoke over, Granny Yan stopped her hands and quietly watched the scene in front of her.

And the smoke from that big straw man's body is getting weaker and weaker.Originally, it was still the smoke formed by the burning fire, but later it became translucent, and finally it became almost completely transparent, like a cloud.

The faint cloud of smoke slowly transferred from the big grass figure to the little grass figure, and slowly penetrated in from the position above the head.

And the fire that burned on the straw man's body was automatically extinguished after the straw man's head was burned off.

After all the smoke penetrated into the body of the straw man in my hand, Grandma Yan knocked the purple cloud pole in her hand on the soles of her feet and said, "Okay, let's go into the house."

I asked curiously: "Grandma, did you transfer Chenchen's soul into this little straw man's body?"

Granny Yan nodded: "It's hard to say, I need to make a final decision."

"But, it's broad daylight now, and the sun is shining in the sky. Can this soul appear under the sunlight?"

Granny Yan explained: "It's okay, with my smoke as protection, the soul can survive in the sun."

I can't help but be impressed by Granny Yan's miraculous skills. With this skill alone, I believe that the third uncle may not be able to expose his soul to the sun.

I followed Granny Yan and returned to the original thatched cottage.

Granny Yan lit a few sticks of incense in the house. She didn't know what the incense was made of, but the scent it gave off after lighting it was different.

The doors and windows of the thatched hut were tightly closed, and the room was soon filled with the smoke from the incense.But the smoke is not choking, on the contrary, it smells a strange fragrance, which is very refreshing.

Grandma Yan put the little straw man in my hand on the ground in the middle of the room.

Soon, a thin layer of mist floated from inside the grass figure.The mist took the little straw man as its root, and gradually expanded, spreading branches and leaves, as if a special plant had grown from the grass man's body.

The mist quickly gathered into a human shape, which looked like a child, just floating in the sky above the little straw man.

Granny Yan pointed to the incense sticks and said, "This is made of shredded tobacco. This smoke is called Yin-Yang smoke. In this smoke environment, you can communicate with ghosts and gods."

After saying these words, Granny Yan pointed to the human-shaped mist floating up and shouted: "That soul, report your name."

Chapter 1277 Happy Valley Exposed

"I... am... Chenchen..."

As soon as Granny Yan finished speaking, an extremely ethereal voice came out intermittently.

I have been in the industry for so long, and I have heard a lot of ghosts.Not long ago, I also entered the ghost collection, not only had a conversation with Su Jin, but also heard the ghosts in the ghost collection, it can be said that I have seen it.

But hearing Chenchen's voice still made my heart tremble, and at the same time, I was overjoyed.

We have found Chenchen's soul that we have worked so hard to find.Finding Chenchen's soul is the key turning point to solve the mine curse.I can tell Chen Chen's whereabouts, and even bring Chen Chen's soul to Chen Jinhua, which will surely calm the resentment in her heart.

Granny Yan used Yin Yang Yan to talk to Chen Chen again. After verification, this clear soul was Chen Jinhua's son, Chen Chen who had disappeared for a long time.

I was very happy here, but looking at Granny Yan was full of worries.

After confirming Chenchen's identity, Granny Yan asked me, "Li Yang, do you have anything on you that can take away souls? If so, you can take Chenchen in now."

I thought about it and nodded: "Yes, I have this picture, which can collect souls."

As I said that, I took out the picture of the Daoist Lord's Night Banquet on my body. Granny Yan took the picture and looked at it, nodded, and threw the picture over the little straw man casually.

Fluttering... The drawing was unfolded, and then retracted, the smoke above the straw man's head had disappeared.

Granny Yan returned the picture to me and said: "This picture is a good thing, it seems that there are other souls in it, right?"

Knowing that nothing can be hidden from Granny Yan's eyes, I nodded: "There are a few old ghosts in there, and one is my ghost friend. She was a female doctor before she was alive. She should be able to know the cause and effect of the soul I took in. , it should be just enough to take care of Chenchen inside."

Granny Yan was expressionless and just nodded slightly: "Li Yang, I should treat you well in this valley, but now I can't keep you. You should leave here as soon as possible, and never come back again."

I was taken aback, and felt more and more that something was wrong with Granny Yan, so I hurriedly asked: "Grandma, you also said that we are of the same family, what happened to you, can you tell me, maybe I can too How can I help you?"

Granny Yan glanced at me, and asked back, "Where are you going with Chenchen's soul?"

"Go to his mother. Give him back to his mother."

Granny Yan asked again: "Then where is the mother?"

I answered truthfully: "When I saw his mother, it was in the ghost fair. His mother sang on the ghost stage inside."

Granny Yan sighed softly, and said: "That's it, it shouldn't be wrong. Today should be the seventeenth of the lunar calendar, and tomorrow will be the eighteenth. The fifteenth day of the ghost collection is the big collection, and the three days before and after the small collection are small collections. The ghost market will be closed. It seems that it has been these two days..."

I looked at Granny Yan and listened to her talk, but I became more and more confused.

Granny Yan collected the incense in the house, and said to me: "Li Yang, I may encounter some things in Xiaoyao Valley these two days. I won't tell you. It's for your own good. The things here are just for you. It's irrelevant. It's better for you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's easy to get into trouble."

I saw Granny Yan's serious face, but what she said aroused my curiosity. I waved my hand and said, "Grandma, as I said, we are from the same family. Although I, Li Yang, have no great skills, I came here with swords and flames." Yes, you helped me, if I encounter any difficulties, I will definitely not leave. If you don't tell me, then I will stay in Xiaoyao Valley, and I will face it with you if there is any problem. "

What I said came from my heart. Granny Yan just did me a favor. If there was any trouble here, I would just walk away.Taoism is also a rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes have to talk about loyalty.This is the purpose that my third uncle has always instilled in me, and I have always tried my best to do it.

So these words, what I said are still righteous words, sonorous and powerful.

Grandma Yan was a little surprised, she looked at me again with complicated eyes, nodded and said: "It seems that the master did not misunderstand the person, I thought he just passed on the relic to you because of expediency, now look at me. , the person he entrusted is indeed righteous Bo Yuntian, worthy of a great responsibility."

I quickly waved my hand: "Grandma, this is too serious. I am a small person. The words you said have nothing to do with me. I just don't think I can just walk away like this. Granny, please stop playing charades with me." , what the hell is going on?"

Granny Yan sighed, and said, "Okay. Since you want to know, I'll tell you. Didn't you say that yesterday you saw a civet cat with a little straw man on its back, appearing in Xiaoyao Valley?" around?"

I nodded: "That's right, that's why I ventured into Happy Valley."

Granny Yan smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't let that one out, it was someone else. He used the remaining civet cats in this valley to find the way. Since you want to know so much, I might as well tell you. It came to find the way. When you were on the way, you just came down and entered Xiaoyao Valley, so it can be said that this place has already been known to them."

I was taken aback, and asked back: "Grandma Yan, you mean that I exposed the location of Happy Valley?"

Granny Yan glanced at me, but didn't speak.But her reaction proved what I said was true.

I was very annoyed, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't know they were here to scout the way, and I thought it was Third Uncle who was in danger. Since I exposed Xiaoyao Valley to them, then I can't leave. I want to deal with it with you..."

Who knew that I hadn't finished speaking when I suddenly heard a civet cat's neighing from outside.
