"What's going on?"
“Oops, my archaeological data haven’t been saved yet!”
"Why is it so noisy outside?"
The members of the archaeological team walked out of the house one after another, wanting to find out what was going on, including Chen Wenjin.
……
On Fatty Wang's side, the village chief suddenly looked back at the extinguished lights, frowning and muttering to himself.
"The first dog bark after early morning..."
"Could it be that the ferry has been opened?"
The village suddenly became quiet, and the barking dogs also stopped, as if they were all looking towards the west of the village, where something was approaching.
The village chief felt something strange, so he stopped talking to Fatty Wang, walked to the door of the yard, and asked the people in the opposite yard.
"What happened?"
The villagers in the opposite yard shook their heads in confusion.
"I don't know, there seems to be a power outage, but this power outage is too strange."
"As soon as the dog barked, the power went out!"
The village chief shook his head and looked towards the west of the village like everyone else.
"According to Mr. Yin Yang, after midnight, after the first bark of a dog, it means that the ghost is ready to go home."
The village chief still remembers what Zhang Hao said: when the Yinmen Ferry opens, there will be a hundred rats crossing the street. This is the signal for the ferry to open.
"Mortals like us shouldn't be able to see the ferry. I wonder if Mr. Yin Yang can see it."
"But with the signal of a hundred rats crossing the street, we can also know when to start."
At this time, the village chief was stroking the chicken in his arms, but suddenly found something strange about it.
Normally, these domestic animals would bark twice at every turn, but today they were unusually quiet.
Not only his house, but also other people's houses seemed to be like this. At least he didn't hear the sounds of other people's livestock.
The chicken in his arms was shaking its head, looking left and right, as if looking at something.
"I hope that after this incident is over, nothing else will happen."
“I really can’t stand the trouble now!”
If Zhang Hao hadn't said that the ghost would come out of the ferry after the rats had crossed the street, he would have thought that the chicken had seen his remnant soul by now.
At this time, Zhang Qilin stood up, glanced in the direction of the west of the village, frowned, and then walked out of the yard.
Fatty Wang saw this and asked quickly: "Hey! Brother Qilin, why are you going?"
Zhang Qilin glanced at Fatty Wang lightly and walked out of the yard without saying where he was going.
Fatty Wang looked at Zhang Qilin's back and thought for a while before standing up. He walked to the village chief and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Village chief, just remember my shopkeeper's advice. I'll go check out our inn 2." Why are you going, sir?”
The village chief looked at Fatty Wang anxiously, then glanced at Zhang Qilin's back and nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Wang, you should go back early and come back early. I'm worried about this..."
Before the village chief finished speaking, Fatty Wang had already ran out of the yard and caught up with Zhang Qilin.
"You're such a stuffy guy, you'll die if you say one more word!" Fatty Wang complained, looking at Zhang Qilin and continued, "I said that the Yinmen ferry in the west of the village will open soon. Do you want to see the Yinmen?" Ferry? ”
Zhang Qilin shook his head and said calmly: "I just want to confirm one thing."
Fatty Wang frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhang Qilin was puzzled. During the few days he came to Sanjiashan Village, he also tried to draw a few more talismans for Zhengqin's official position.
Although the talismans these past few times were still at the ninth level, I didn't see the ghost street like the first time.
He secretly wondered if it was a coincidence the last time he saw Yin soldiers taking advantage of the road?
Or is it that he can only see Yin soldiers when the Yin soldiers are there?
Before, he thought that his ability to see Yin soldiers was a sign that he had opened Yin and Yang eyes, but then he thought about it and not everyone could open Yin and Yang eyes.
Zhang Hao opened his yin and yang eyes, but he didn't know how many years of practice he had to open them.
It is naturally not that easy for ordinary people to open their eyes.
But if it wasn't a sign of opening his eyes, why could he see the Yin soldiers?
It just so happened that the Yinmen Ferry opened today, and he wanted to try again to see if he could see the ghosts.
So the two of them came to the west of the village, found a millstone and sat down on it.
At this time, the night was thick and dark, as if someone had splashed a sea of ink on it.
The cold wind blew through the clothes of the two of them, causing goosebumps to appear on the already chilly bodies of the two.
Fatty Wang crossed his arms and looked around, and couldn't help but mutter: "I think you probably can't see it. How can anyone see this Yinmen Ferry? Unless you are Zhang Hao, otherwise I I advise you not to think about this matter again. If you encounter any evil soldiers again, who of us will be able to run away?"
Zhang Qilin glanced at Fatty Wang, then took out a ninth-grade Zhengqin official title and handed it to Fatty Wang, saying indifferently: "Take it, if something happens, just pretend that you are also here to send the ghost away."< br>
At this time, Fatty Wang took over the ninth-grade Zhengqin official position. His eyes couldn't help but shine. He looked at it repeatedly and then smiled: "I'll go! Is this the legendary Zhengqin official position? Whether it's you or Zhang Hao Brother, I didn’t even see it when I used this position. I just heard the legend and wanted to see it for a long time. Now I finally have the chance! Even if it’s only the ninth level, thank you, brother Qilin, you are so generous!”
After finishing speaking, Fatty Wang looked at the handwriting and felt that it was a bit different from Zhang Hao's, so he asked again: "Is this drawn by Zhang Hao?"
"I drew it." Zhang Qilin said coldly, keeping his eyes on the west of the village.
The smile on Fatty Wang's face suddenly froze, and then he folded the charm in half and put it in his pocket as if disappointed, and joked: "Did you draw it? It's not that I doubt you, Brother Qilin. This...can your drawing deceive the evil spirits?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of "chichichi" suddenly came from the silent night.
Fatty Wang and Zhang Qilin both jumped off the millstone, and then hid behind the millstone and looked carefully at the entrance to the village.
I saw a lot of rats coming out of the village entrance. After the rats gathered together, they started running towards the village.
After observing carefully, Fatty Wang frowned in confusion and couldn't help but asked softly: "Weird! Do mice's eyes turn red at night? Why didn't I know about this?"
Zhang Qilin looked at the entrance of the village and suddenly said: "Quiet!"
For a moment, the two fell into silence.
Then, a series of clear sounds of water sounded in their ears, as if they were very close.
However, they knew that they were still two kilometers away from the river, and the sound of water seemed quite strange. The two looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
"The Yinmen Ferry that little brother Zhang Hao mentioned, since it is called a ferry, does it have anything to do with the Styx River?" Fatty Wang muttered in a low voice, "Could the sound of the water just now come from the Styx River?" < br>
Zhang Qilin frowned, and then responded softly: "It seems that we have no chance to see the Yinmen Ferry and those ghosts."
After saying that, he took out the ninth-grade Zhengqin official position, put it on his forehead, closed his eyes, and felt the power surging in the official position.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw a long river appearing at the entrance of the village. It ran from north to south and crossed from east to west, and the village happened to be located on the east side of the river.
At this time, a large ship slowly came and docked on the shore. Then, one after another, illusory figures stepped off the ship. Their expressions were confused, like zombies.
Zhang Qilin realized that it was impossible to see these underworld things without Yin and Yang eyes.
However, with the help of the ninth-grade Zhengqin official position, he could see clearly.
Upon seeing this, Fatty Wang curiously put the official seal on his forehead, and then saw a scene that he could not detect before.
"Oh my God!" Fatty Wang's eyes widened and he looked in shock at the sudden appearance of the river and the big boat, as well as the illusory figure stepping off the boat.
"Are these the remnant souls that Brother Zhang Hao mentioned? This ferry...could it refer to the river? I thought it was a gate or a dock!"
Zhang Qilin frowned, quickly grabbed Fatty Wang, and warned in a low voice: "Don't talk, these ghosts are very sensitive to the smell of people in the human world."
Fatty Wang was stunned. Apart from the last time he saw the black and white impermanence, this was the first time he saw the ghost, so he seemed particularly obedient.
At this time, there were two Yinzai holding black iron ropes standing by the river, and a shadowy figure wearing a pointed round hat stood on the bow of the boat.
The phantom has the word "make money" written on its hat and is dressed in white. It is Bai Wuchang in the underworld.
When Fatty Wang and Zhang Qilin looked at Bai Wuchang, Bai Wuchang seemed to have noticed something and suddenly looked towards Mopan.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Qilin quickly pulled off the official seal of the Ninth Grade Zhengqin from his and Fatty Wang's foreheads, held his breath, and covered Fatty Wang's nose at the same time.
Fatty Wang couldn't help being startled when he saw Bai Wuchang, especially when Bai Wuchang looked over.
When Zhang Qilin took off the official seal, the scene in front of him disappeared.
Bai Wuchang stood on the bow of the underworld ship and stared at the millstone for three minutes before murmuring softly: "Did I see it wrong? I thought I saw Lord Zhengqin."
He shook his head, feeling that he must have been overthinking it.
The Lord Zhengqin I saw two days ago walked with the power of the underworld, and the two figures I saw just now were obviously ordinary people in the world of the world. They had no power at all. How could they be Lord Zhengqin?
And how could Master Zhengqin be so sneaky and hiding behind the millstone?
This was completely different from the Master Zhengqin he had seen before.
The Lord Zhengqin he saw was very majestic, serious and unsmiling.
Since the two people who were hiding behind the millstone hid immediately after noticing Bai Wuchang, Bai Wuchang didn't see it particularly clearly, but was just a little confused.
So he glanced at Mopan again and then turned his attention to Sanjia Mountain Village.
Zhang Qilin and Fatty Wang squatted quietly behind the millstone for five minutes. Then Zhang Qilin pointed to the east, and the two crept into the village.
At this time, people in the village also discovered something unusual.
On the only small road in the village, hundreds of mice ran frantically to the east, as if they were specially sent to report news.
The members of the archaeological team who were sorting out the files all came out at this time.
Because the director of the archaeological team fell ill, everyone felt a little panic, so the matter of salvaging the ancient coffin was finally decided to give up.
Chen Wenjin and Dapeng stayed here solely because they wanted to collect more information to complete the file.
At this time, there was a sudden power outage, and Chen Wenjin and Dapeng couldn't help but walk out.
Because they were close to the west entrance of the village, the two of them looked at the west of the village at the same time.
"What's going on? Such a heavy fog?"
At this time, the village was still normal, but there was a heavy fog to the west of the village entrance, and it was impossible to see what was behind the fog.
Hundreds of rats rushed out of the fog and ran towards the village, making a "chirp" sound.
"I'll go, such a big rat!"
Dapeng was so frightened when he saw it that he stood on the wall and couldn't help complaining, "The rats in the south are too big!"
Chen Wenjin glanced at Dapeng, shook her head helplessly and explained: "What do you know? I heard from the villagers that today seems to be the day when they ferry the souls. Every villager is preparing to transfer souls at home according to Mr. Yin Yang's instructions. These The rat is the signal for the beginning of the soul journey.”
Dapeng blinked and touched his head and said: "It seems that there is such a thing! Two days ago, I saw that many people in their village began to worship the family immortals. When I heard what they said about soul-transferring, I was still puzzled. It turned out that they were doing it for today. Prepare? But is this possible? ”
Chen Wenjin shook his head slightly and said that he was not very clear. This was all what Mr. Yin and Yang said.
However, before she could say anything, she saw two figures running in from the thick fog at the west entrance of the village.
Chen Wenjin frowned slightly and then said softly: "Everyone is trying to cross the soul. Why are these two running out? Don't they want to cross the soul?"
Dapeng also stood over at this time and followed Chen Wenjin's gaze, "Which two people are they? Are they from this village?" Chen Wenjin shook his head and then said, "It seems to be the other one, Fatty Wang, next to Mr. Yin Yang. Mr. It feels familiar, as if I’ve seen it somewhere before!”
"Have you seen it before?!" Dapeng said in surprise, "Is it possible that Mr. Yin Yang is back?"
Chen Wenjin shook her head and said, "The figure doesn't look like Mr. Yin-Yang. Who else could it be? There is no one else but Mr. Yin-Yang who can be with Fatty Wang, right?" Dapeng wondered again.
Chen Wenjin also looked confused, thinking that the figure was definitely not Mr. Yin Yang, but why did he feel so familiar?
It seemed like I had seen it not long ago.
"Hiss" Chen Wenjin took a breath and then whispered, "Where have you seen it before?"
At this time, everyone in the yard was holding their own fairy carefully, their eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.
The chicken held in the village chief's arms also flapped its wings, but did not fly away. It remained safely in the village chief's arms.
"Did you see anything?" the village chief tried to ask, even though he knew the chicken couldn't answer.
Although the chicken couldn't speak, it looked back at the village chief as if it was intentional, then slowly turned its head to the west of the village and began to turn little by little.
The village chief suddenly remembered what Zhang Hao had said before. When the family immortal looks in a certain direction, it means that the family's remnant soul is at that location.
So, the village chief followed Jiaxian's gaze and finally focused on the door.
"Is it here?" the village chief asked again, his tone full of doubts.
At this time, the chicken suddenly turned its head and looked north. (End of chapter)
