Chapter 240: Weird 【02】
Uncle Li talked to Yuan Jia about the related information about ghosts: "Actually, I don't know much, but I only occasionally hear that there will be strange things, and most of them are caused by ghosts. But ghosts are easy to solve, ghosts generally I don’t dare to go near popular places, and those who practice martial arts with strong vigor can resist ghosts, but if you want to kill ghosts, you can only hire a special ghost killer.”
"Compared to ghosts, the scarier thing is the weirdness. No one knows how the weirdness is formed. Don't be curious, stay as far away from weird things or things as possible."
"I know Master Yuan, a ghost slayer stationed in Qingyang County. If you are looking for Master Yuan to remove ghosts, you should say that it was recommended by Commander Li of the Lan family. If you prepare enough gold and silver, you should be able to invite Master Yuan. "
Yuan Jia thought about the origin of this 'Lan Family' and how much face he had. A martial arts master like Uncle Li seemed to be a guard commander in the Lan family, but his guard commander actually had a few more points in front of the ghost slayer. face off.
The existence of ghost masters does not exist in Xue Yuanjia's memory at all, and even Xue Yuanjia only regarded ghosts as legends made up by others before his death. Perhaps ordinary people cannot touch the deeper side of the world.
Yuan Jia smiled at Uncle Li and said, "Thank you, Commander Li, I'll send you off."
Yuan Jia personally escorted Uncle Li and others to the door of Xuejiazhuang. The carriage that Miss Lan and the maid in green were in had already parked at the door. The other guards put their things on the carriage again. Miss Lan stood outside the carriage. wait.
Yuan Jia stood at the door, unable to step out of the threshold, he glanced at the lady in blue.
Maybe this young lady in blue is the person from the "Lan family" that Uncle Li called him. He felt a strange subtlety from her, she was a little different from ordinary people.
Miss Lan Yi seemed to sense Yuan Jia's gaze and glanced sideways at him.
"It's still so early, are you leaving?"
Three big men with sleepy eyes came over. They didn't seem to sleep well all night. They looked very sleepy, and their faces were a little blue and white, as if they had stayed up for several days and nights.
Miss Lan Yi looked at the appearance of the three, her face changed slightly, and urged: "Hurry up, let's go."
Uncle Li heard Miss Lanyi's urging, and seemed to realize something, and went to help move things.
When the three big men saw the beautiful young lady in blue, they suddenly became lustful, and they stepped forward to stop her with a smile: "Why is the little beauty in such a hurry to leave, stay and play with the brothers for a while, or the brothers will accompany her. Let's go together!"
Uncle Li raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes: "Presumptuous!" Pulling out the long sword around his waist, he was about to attack these three daring people who molested the young lady.
Suddenly, Yuan Jia's faint voice sounded: "The three distinguished guests cannot leave."
When the three big men heard the sound, they looked at them, and Miss Lan Yi gave them a cold look. She walked over to Uncle Li and whispered, "Don't do it, let's go quickly."
The blue-clothed lady and the green-clothed maid quickly got into the carriage. Uncle Li and others also escorted the carriage, and they were about to leave very quickly.
The three big men were a little unwilling to let a big beauty and a little beauty girl go like this, but after seeing Uncle Li and other eight strong guards, they hesitated for a while, but they still did not stop them.
Yuan Jia watched Uncle Li and the others leave, looked away, and said to the three big men with a smile, "Three distinguished guests, please enter the village."
A gust of cold wind blew, and the three suddenly felt cold behind their backs, and an unpleasant feeling rose in their hearts. They looked at each other, and one of them said, "We still have to hurry, so we won't stay, let's go!"
The smile on Yuan Jia's face did not change, he just stood at the gate of Xuejiazhuang, quietly watching the backs of the three of them leaving.
Suddenly the corners of his lips rose, his smile deepened, and his voice was erratic and strange: "You can't escape..."
The entire Xuejiazhuang seemed to suddenly come to life and turned into a giant beast. The door that opened was the **** mouth of the giant beast, and it opened its mouth and swallowed the three people who had left.
Under the bright sunshine, Xuejiazhuang was hidden in a shadow, and suddenly disappeared in place, leaving only a green grass, and occasional hares darting past.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Uncle Li was guarding next to the carriage, and couldn't help but ask the lady in blue in the carriage, "Miss, is there really a ghost in Xuejiazhuang?"
Miss Lanyi lifted the curtains of the car, looked at Uncle Li outside, and explained, "Although we didn't encounter any ghosts last night, we can be sure that those three people were being targeted. The accumulation of qi is obviously close contact with ghosts. Even if they are not dead, they will not live for long, and they have been targeted by ghosts. The life-saving thing on me only has the last chance to use it. People are wasted here."
Uncle Li nodded, thinking of Yuan Jia, he said again: "Then when I get to Qingyang County, I will invite Master Yuan to go to Xuejiazhuang. After all, that young master Xue is a good person."
The lady in blue was noncommittal and lowered the curtains of the car.
The group didn't walk long before they saw the city gate of Qingyang County. After entering the city, Uncle Li took the Lan family token given by Miss Lanyi to the county government to visit Master Yuan.
With the face of the Lan family, Master Yuan met Uncle Li, and was very polite to him: "I don't know that Miss Lan came to Qingyang County, and I have lost a long way to welcome her. I hope you forgive me."
Uncle Li said respectfully, "Miss is just passing by and will not stay for a while. Master Yuan doesn't need to be more polite." He knew that what Master Yuan was afraid of was the Lan family behind him, not his little guard commander.
Uncle Li quickly got to the point and said his intentions, hoping that Master Yuan would go to Xuejiazhuang to eliminate ghosts.
After hearing this, Master Yuan's face changed greatly: "I have been in Qingyang County for seven years, and I have never heard of Xuejiazhuang outside the city."
Uncle Li was stunned and stood still.
Master Yuan looked at him with complicated eyes, and said with lingering fear: "I'm afraid you have encountered something strange."
The reason why Master Yuan was able to judge that Xuejiazhuang was weird so quickly was because there was also Miss Lan's lodging in Xuejiazhuang.
The Lan family is a family of ghost slayers, and it has been passed down for many years. Even if this eldest lady of the Lan family is not skilled in scavenging ghosts and has a low spiritual sense, she is deeply favored by the Lan family master and has many good things on her body.
If Xuejiazhuang was just a ghost house transformed by ghosts, it would be impossible to hide from Miss Lan.
Now Uncle Li appeared here and asked him to go to Xuejiazhuang to get rid of ghosts. Obviously, Miss Lan didn't notice anything wrong with Xuejiazhuang. She just felt that there was a little yin in Xuejiazhuang, and through the abnormality of the three big men, it was determined that there must be ghosts in Zhuangzhuang. .
In fact, there is no Xuejiazhuang outside Qingyang County.
A villa that appeared out of thin air and still made Miss Lan unaware of the abnormality could only be weird.
Uncle Li was so frightened that he was sweating, and his clothes were wet behind him.
Master Yuan comforted and said, "You guys are really lucky. You can still survive by staying at the Weird Mountain Villa. It should be nothing."
Uncle Li showed an ugly expression like crying and laughing: "Yuan, Master Yuan, we have to rush back to Lan's house as quickly as possible. The banquet we said just now can only be done, and Master will forgive me."
"It doesn't matter, it's important to go back as soon as possible." Master Yuan understands very well that the group of them seems to have come out of the strange villa safely, but who knows if there are any strange marks on them, and they will be asked for their lives in the future. The most important way to save life is to rush back to Lan's house to check it out as quickly as possible.
After Uncle Li left, Master Yuan also sighed with a sullen face: "Alas, I thought that places like Qingyang County, which were once swept by experts, would be safer, but I didn't expect that it was only seven years ago that I encountered something strange."
The weirdness is much more terrifying than the ghosts. Master Yuan's legs tremble just thinking about it. He should be responsible for investigating this kind of thing.
After Ms. Lan learned that Xuejiazhuang was very likely to be weird, she ran away with someone without saying a word.
Master Yuan rushed to the place mentioned by Uncle Li alone.
He is not daring to investigate the strangeness alone, but just wants to confirm the existence of the strange villa, then report it, and send someone to restrict this place.
The best way to deal with weirdness is to limit it, because weirdness is unsolvable and cannot be killed, and those who violate the rules will surely die.
However, when Master Yuan came to the place Uncle Li said, he found that it was a green meadow, and there was no villa located here.
Of course he wouldn't think that Uncle Li was deliberately lying to deceive him. He thought that this strange villa would only appear at night, so he waited until it got dark and did it again. Sure enough, he saw a huge villa lying there like a giant beast under the moonlight. , the two red lanterns at the door are like the scarlet eyes of a giant beast, staring at him.
Master Yuan glanced at it from a distance, and fled in fright, not daring to approach.
When he returned to the county office, he quickly reported the existence of the strange villa, and soon there would be a big man in the court vigil to deal with the matter.
However, before the night watchman sent someone, Master Yuan asked the magistrate of Qingyang County to block the road leading to Xuejiazhuang, prohibiting anyone from going to that place, so that no one could enter it by mistake.
As far as he knows, the more ghosts kill, the stronger it will be, and the same is true of the weird, the more weird people kill, the less restrictive it will be.
Maybe this weird villa that can only appear at night can appear all day after killing too many people.
Therefore, the first thing Master Yuan did was to prohibit anyone from approaching Xuejiazhuang.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
After Yuan Jia manipulated Xue Jiazhuang to swallow the three big men who violated his taboos, he faintly felt that Xue Jiazhuang had undergone a strange change.
He closed his eyes and felt it quietly for a while, his mind moved, and Xuejiazhuang, who had nowhere to hide under the sun, suddenly disappeared, hiding in a shadowy space, this space seemed to be a separate space.
He was able to manipulate Xuejiazhuang's concealment and appearance at will.
But the most important thing is that he can control the position where Xuejiazhuang appears.
The original owner, Xue Yuanjia, was not very wise, and had been living in a daze. He only knew that on the day before the annihilation, Xue Jiazhuang also wandered around instinctively.
But now that Yuan Jia took the initiative to control Xuejiazhuang, he found that Xuejiazhuang was closely related to him and could move his position as he wished.
According to Uncle Li, it was next to a forest outside Qingyang County, but Yuan Jia learned from the original owner's memory that Xuejiazhuang was not built outside Qingyang County, but on the outskirts of a Wuxi City.
The Xue family is a big family in Wuxi City, and it is also a famous heroic force in the arena.
Xuejiazhuang outside Wuxi City now appears outside Qingyang County, apparently Xuejiazhuang moved his position.
There are all kinds of ghosts and things in this world, and it's not surprising that Xuejiazhuang would move his position. If you think Xue Yuanjia is a ghost, this Xuejiazhuang is what Uncle Li said, right?
Yuan Jia doesn't know much about ghosts and weirdness, so he can only judge for the time being.
If he couldn't leave Xuejiazhuang, he couldn't go out to find Xue Yuanjing, the male protagonist of this world. Fortunately, he couldn't get out of the house, but he could take it with him.
I just don't know what time it is now, how long has it been since the massacre of the Xue family.
After Xue Yuanjia died, he became a ghost. Maybe he had been dead for many years. Xue Yuanjing, who escaped the catastrophe in those days, still didn't know if he was still alive. What if hundreds of years passed and Xue Yuanjing died early?
Yuanjia sighed again that the system was unreliable, and that the task was getting more and more difficult, and then located the Wuxi City in Xue Yuanjia's memory and moved Xuejiazhuang.
A huge mountain village just disappeared.
The people sent by the night watchman of the imperial court followed Master Yuan here at night, but they saw nothing.
Master Yuan was stunned: "Well, why is this gone? I saw a villa here that day, a very big villa."
The person sent by the night watchman took out a compass and checked around with a cold face, and said, "There is indeed a problem here, but the strangeness has indeed disappeared." His face was ugly, "This time the strangeness should be able to be moved. Type, codenamed 'Xuejiazhuang'."
After the people of the Night Watch Division reported 'Xuejiazhuang', the imperial court suddenly started to function. They didn't dare to be careless. They quickly searched for information related to Xuejiazhuang across the country, and then figured out a way to restrict this strange, moving villa.
The efficiency of the imperial institutions is naturally very high. It was quickly found from the archives that there was a Jianghu force in Wuxi City 30 years ago. The Xue family established a Xuejiazhuang outside Wuxi City, but this Xuejiazhuang was fifteen years ago. He was wiped out by the enemy family on the rivers and lakes, and the whole family died tragically. Only one young man survived. That young man was Xue Yuanjing, the second young master of the Xue family. Later, Xue Yuanjing practiced peerless magic and killed the murderer to avenge his family.
However, just ten years ago, there were changes between heaven and earth, ghosts were frequent, and strange incidents occurred frequently. The Xuejiazhuang, where more than 100 people died tragically, also had strange incidents. It was blocked by the court for the first time, and no one dared to approach.
The 'Xuejiazhuang' that appeared in Qingyang County is most likely the Xuejiazhuang in Wuxi City.
Because the 'Xuejiazhuang', which was restricted by the blockade in Wuxi City, has always been 'safe' and did not make any noise, the court did not care about it.
I didn't expect it to be able to run to other places to do things.
The imperial vigilante quickly dispatched three ghost exorcists to find out the situation.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Wuxi City, Xue Mansion.
This Xue Mansion in Wuxi City was rebuilt after Xue Yuanjing took revenge and repurchased the house built by Xue's father in the city.
After the enemy was slaughtered, Xue Yuanjing lived in Wuxi City and never left, married and had children.
On this day, three people in dark red robes came to the gate of Xue's house. They were followed by officials. The gatekeeper of Xue's house did not dare to neglect at all.
Xue Yuanjing walked quickly to greet him: "Xue has seen a few adults, but I don't know why they are here, why?"
Xue Yuanjing looked at the three of them vigilantly. He is now unrivaled in martial arts and has few rivals in the arena, but for some reason, he still has an indescribable sense of oppression when facing these three.
The handsome young man among the three gave Xue Yuanjing a gentle smile and said, "My name is Jiang Li, you can call me Master Jiang."
Xue Yuanjing's heart moved. In his current position, he has also heard some things hidden in secret and not known to ordinary people.
His attitude towards Jiang Li and the others was a little more enthusiastic: "The three masters are coming to the humble house, and they are full of brilliance. The three masters will invite them in, and they will hold a banquet here, and I will also invite the masters to show their faces."
Jiang Li and the others were not polite. They followed Xue Yuanjing in and ate a banquet. After the meal, Jiang Li asked Xue Yuanjing, "Xue Yuanjing, we know that you used to be from Xuejiazhuang, right?"
Xue Yuanjing's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Yes." His mood was a little low, and he couldn't help but remember the tragic situation of his family being destroyed fifteen years ago.
Jiang Li didn't care if he opened Xue Yuanjing's scar, he said again: "There is a problem in Xuejiazhuang, the three of us need to go to investigate the situation, I hope you can lead us."
It was said that Xue Yuanjing would lead the way, but in fact Jiang Li and the others were fighting the idea of making Xue Yuanjing the cannon fodder.
According to experience, the birth of general weirdness is related to something that happened in the past, and the weirdness of Xuejiazhuang should be related to the massacre of the Xuejia fifteen years ago.
Then Xue Yuanjing, the only survivor of the massacre, played a very important role. If they were trapped in the Xue Family Village and couldn't get out, Xue Yuanjing might be their way of life.
As for what would happen to Xue Yuanjing, a warrior without spiritual sense, entering a strange place like Xuejiazhuang, Jiang Li and others didn't care. In order to limit the strangeness and not cause great harm, using ordinary people as pathfinder cannon fodder was originally allowed by the night watchman.
Sacrificing the few to preserve the majority, and sacrificing the common people to preserve the powerful ghost slayers, is to take care of the overall situation.
Xue Yuanjing was silent for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "I can promise you, but I want to know what happened to Xuejiazhuang, why was it blocked ten years ago?"
After he succeeded in revenge, he wanted to return to Xuejiazhuang to re-bury his relatives and worship them, but was told that Xuejiazhuang had been blocked by the imperial court. He wanted to sneak in secretly, but he would get lost in the white fog outside and could not get close to Xuejiazhuang .
It was Xue Yuanjing's regret and obsession for not being able to gather the bones of his parents and brother to build a grave for many years.
He wanted to enter Xuejiazhuang a few years ago. This time Jiang Li and others came to him to lead the way into Xuejiazhuang. Although he guessed that there might be great danger, he was still reluctant to refuse, just for the bones of his parents and brothers.
An inexplicable smile appeared on Jiang Li's face, and said mysteriously: "You will know what's going on when you go to Xuejiazhuang with us."
＜＜＜＜＜＜
That night, just after nightfall, it was dark, Xue Yuanjing followed Jiang Li and the three to the outside of Wuxi City, and slowly approached the location of Xuejiazhuang.
They were stopped by a white fog. Xue Yuanjing looked at the white fog and said, "I can't see anything in this fog, and if I go in, I will slowly come out."
Jiang Li smiled and said: "You must have sneaked in there, right? This Lost White Mist is specially used to block certain places and prevent outsiders from entering. There is no pass order. Among them, it came out after going around."
Jiang Li took out a white token and handed it to Xue Yuanjing: "This is a passing order, so you won't be affected by the Lost White Mist if you hold it."
Xue Yuanjing took it over and took a look, but found that this white token was not made of jade. It was impossible to tell what material it was made of. The same white mist was constantly fluttering inside, which looked amazing.
The four people entered the Lost White Mist with the pass, and then the Lost White Mist, which would have been invisible, seemed to have really turned into an ordinary fog. In Xuejiazhuang, even the two stone lions at the gate of Xuejiazhuang were seen.
Xue Yuanjing's heart suddenly felt sour. He still remembered that the two festive red lanterns fifteen years ago were hung up because his brother Xue Yuanjia was about to celebrate his birthday.
The four walked towards Xuejiazhuang, and after walking out of the fog, they were already standing in front of the gate of Xuejiazhuang.
Xue Yuanjing dazedly raised his head and looked at the plaque with the three big characters "Xuejiazhuang", and unknowingly, tears were streaming down his face.
These three words appeared in his dreams countless times, which made him haunt him, and even forgot what Jiang Li told him when he came.
This is his home! His house has not been attacked by the enemy, the gate is good, and there is no **** smell. What about his family?
Xue Yuanjing couldn't help but walked up and knocked on the door, holding the iron ring on the door.
Jiang Li, who wanted to walk up with him, was pulled by the other two. They gave him a wink, and Jiang Li stopped.
The door suddenly opened, revealing the face of a middle-aged man: "Who is it?"
Xue Yuanjing said dumbly, "Uncle Yang, it's me."
Xue Yuanjing still remembered that this man was the concierge of his house. He liked to call him Uncle Yang. He still remembered that he sneaked out to play when he was a teenager, and when he came back late, he closed the door. It was Uncle Yang who secretly opened the door and let him in.
He also remembered that on the day of the annihilation, he hurriedly took back the birthday gift ordered for his brother with joy, but when he returned home, he saw that the heavy door of Xuejiazhuang had collapsed, and Uncle Yang was pressed under the door panel. Was crushed into a mess.
Knowing that Uncle Yang was already dead, Xue Yuanjing couldn't bear the slightest fear in his heart. Instead, he looked at Uncle Yang's familiar face greedily and asked expectantly, "Uncle Yang, my parents and elder brother are here. ?"
