I have some suspicion that the person who caused harm is one of the villagers. Among the villagers, the most suspicious one is undoubtedly the crazy woman Xie Sifen.
It was dawn and no one was dead anymore.
“One person will die every night, this is really a given!” I said to Yi Ba.
"Yeah!" Yi Ba nodded and said, "I don't know who will die next night?"
"Are there more people to die?" Wu Song said with a look on his face He looked at Yi Ba worriedly and asked him.
"Whether people die or not is not up to us." Yi Ba paused and said, "If the villagers are still like last night, people will definitely continue to die."
"You two have no idea. Is there any other way?" Wu Song asked.
“There are hundreds of people in Yinmagou, and we don’t know who the other party will harm next? Also, judging from the lives he has killed so far, there is not much difference between these eight people. relationship." Yi Ba said.
"It's getting light now, so nothing will happen. Why don't we go back and have a rest first, and then come back when it gets dark." The matter of Yinmagou is not that simple, we must You have to think long term.
"Yes!" Yi Ba nodded readily. It seemed that he agreed with my proposal.
"You two don't need to go back! If you want to rest, you can rest at my house!" Wu Song obviously wanted to keep us here!
"Let's go back to Yiba Pavilion. In addition to rest, more importantly, we need to prepare something." Yi Ba took the words and said: "When I came last night, I didn't think of this. It’s going to be so tricky, and we’re not prepared enough. Tonight, we have to make enough preparations.”
“So, Taoist priest, you have something to say?” After hearing what Yi Ba said. , Wu Song’s face immediately showed excitement.
"Do your best and obey fate." Yi Ba did not make any promises.
Wu Song did not stay with Yi Ba anymore, nor did we say anything more to him. Instead, we drove the broken bread and went back to Yiba Pavilion.
After returning to Yiba Pavilion, Yi Ba was not in a hurry to prepare anything, but went directly back to the bedroom and went to sleep. Yi Badu went to bed, so naturally I went to bed too! After all, we stayed up all night last night, and we didn't sleep at all.
I woke up naturally after sleeping until it was past three in the afternoon.
I was already awake, but that guy Yi Ba was still sleeping.
"Still not getting up?" I knocked on the door of Yiba's bedroom and woke the guy up.
"It's still early before dark! Why are you up so early?" Yi Ba gave me a roll of his eyes and said.
"Didn't you say you need to prepare something? It's already this hour, why don't you prepare it?" I said to Yi Ba speechlessly.
“There is nothing to prepare for.” Yi Ba said.
"Then what you said to Wu Song in the morning, wasn't it tantamount to deliberately lying to him?" I said.
“It can’t be considered a lie.” Yi Ba chuckled and said, “Brother Chuyi, don’t you have that beetle shell? Tonight, take that thing with you and have it in Yinmagou. With just one hexagram, won’t the problem be solved?”
Damn it, Yi Ba, after doing this for a long time, he is actually plotting against me?
Having said that, when there is no move, using a beetle shell to divine a divination can be considered a good move.
The sun was setting. Yi Ba, the heartless man, got up leisurely and took me to have dinner.
"Let's go! Remember to bring your beetle shell." Yi Ba, it seems that he is thinking about my beetle shell tonight.
"Are you placing all your hopes on the hexagram I am about to divine?" I asked Yi Ba.
"Brother Chuyi, if your divination is accurate, we can save one person's life; if the divination is not accurate, it is God's will." Yi Ba sighed and said: "People's hearts are divided, and there is nothing we can do about it. ”
I took the beetle shell, opened the broken bread, and went to Yinmagou with Yiba. As soon as Broken Bread arrived at the entrance of the village, Wu Song came up to meet him.
"You two are finally here." Wu Song said excitedly.
"Did nothing happen during the day?" Yi Ba asked.
“No.” Wu Song said.
"That's good." Yi Ba nodded and said: "You'd better go and tell the villagers that they must stay in the yard tonight. Anyone who doesn't listen will lose their life. Don’t blame us for not warning us beforehand.”
"Master Yi, didn't you say you had come up with a solution?" Wu Song looked at Yi Ba with doubtful eyes and asked.
"What I think is the remedy. The most foolproof way is to call everyone out and let the villagers stay in the yard." Yi Ba said.
One person died last night because the villagers did not listen. With the lessons learned from the past, Wu Song felt much more relaxed when he went to do work for the villagers again.
Every family gathered in the yard after dinner.
"That thing kills a person every night. I don't need to say more about this. Everyone should know it in their hearts." Yi Ba glanced at the villagers present and said, "Let me tell you what I want to say first. In the front, anyone who listens to me and stays in this yard, I guarantee that nothing will happen to him. If he refuses to listen to me and insists on going back, don’t blame us for not warning him in advance. "
Yi Ba asked the villagers to form a formation just like last night, then lit a candle and placed it on the coffin lid. It's just that there is one more coffin tonight than last night.
While Yi Ba was busy, I was not idle either. I looked at the villagers one by one with my eyes. I was looking at the faces of the villagers to see if I could tell who had the look of death on their face. Generally speaking, as long as the death energy appears in the life palace, that person will suffer unexpected disasters.
I looked around and saw nothing.
This is wrong! One night kills one person. No matter what, a villager will be killed tonight! But I looked at the villagers present one by one, but I couldn't see the slightest bit of death in any of them.
“Do you see any tricks?” Yi Ba asked me.
"Judging from their appearance, none of the villagers present are in danger of their lives tonight." I said.
“Did you miss it?” Yi Ba asked me with some disbelief.
"No." I can't make mistakes when it comes to fortune telling. After all, this is the foundation of my life.
"Is it possible that Yang Feng's death last night stimulated the villagers so much that tonight they will all be obedient and stop messing around?" Yi Ba scratched his head with his hand.
The sky turned white and the sun was coming out. The villagers in the yard were all staggering from sleepiness. This night, the villagers were very obedient, and no one wanted to go back.
Yi Ba and I spent the night with the villagers. Although no one had any accidents, the matter was not resolved.
"Thank you both!" Wu Song thanked us.
"You're welcome." Yi Bake replied politely, and then said: "Although no one was killed, the matter is still hanging. It's okay to let the villagers keep watch like this all night, but it has to be like this every night "No one can stand it."
"What should we do?" Wu Song asked.
"Human life is no joke." Yi Ba paused and said, "Let's do it as safely as possible! Preserving life is important. Eight people have died in Yinmagou. Can’t die anymore.”
"Some of these eight corpses already stink. When can they be buried?" Wu Song asked Yi Ba.
"Until the matter is resolved, these corpses cannot be buried and can only be placed in the yard. Putting them in the yard will allow them to be exposed to the sun during the day, which can dissipate some corpse energy and somewhat restrict them. If they are buried, these eight corpses will most likely become zombies, and by then, Yinmagou may no longer be inhabitable. "
There is a reason for what Yi Ba said. Although some of the eight corpses lying in the coffins were very smelly, none of them was rotten. The corpse smells bad but is not rotten. It must have been tampered with!
"Yes!" Wu Song nodded and said, "Just do what Taoist Master Yi said."
After a few brief explanations with Wu Song, I He Yiba said goodbye to him, and then drove the broken bread back to Yiba Pavilion. There was no death in one night, which can be regarded as some progress, but Yi Ba and I both knew that there was still a long way to go before we could truly resolve the matter.
