After the ancestors fell

Chapter 183 Red turquoise old wooden hairpin

Because of the long time, the paintings on the wall are blurred, and there is a portrait on a broken wall that appears in several of the wall paintings at the same time.

Looking at the portrait of Duanqiang, Mu Qingfeng felt curious, and according to the marks in the painting, he quickly found Duanqiang in a remote corner of the village.

This is a deserted house, with weeds and moss growing everywhere, obviously no one has lived here for many years.

Mu Qingfeng stood under the broken wall, and there were several long cracks on the wall, spreading upwards from the bottom.From the corner of my eye, I seemed to see a red light flashing across the wall, and I heard a series of light laughter in my ears.

A young woman in a red skirt was walking from behind the wall with a basket and a smile on her shoulders. When she saw Mu Qingfeng standing under the broken wall, her eyes showed doubts.

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?" The girl had a slender figure, she walked like a weak willow supporting the wind, her voice was like a yellow warbler, and her beautiful eyes were full of cunning.

Seeing someone coming, Mu Qingfeng turned around and bowed to him, and the other party also made an inaccurate salute upon seeing this.Then, Mu Qingfeng said lightly: "I came yesterday."

The girl's eyes stopped on Mu Qingfeng's face for a moment, then she covered her mouth and laughed lightly, "So you are from outside, no wonder I haven't seen you before. My name is Hongyou, what's your name?"

"I'm Mu Qingfeng."

"Qingfeng? What a good name," Hongyou smiled and nodded, she walked lightly, turned and approached the other side of the broken wall, pointing at the mottled cracks on the wall with her pale fingers, "Did you see some old paintings in the village?" Bar?"

Mu Qingfeng nodded, and followed the other party into the deserted house behind the broken wall.

There is a cracked stone table in the yard, and there is a stone bench beside it.Hongyou put the basket on the stone table, which contained some red silk threads and dried herbs, "It's quiet here, I come here often. This house is the oldest in the village, and many people have lived in it, but since Sister Zhiye and After the foreign monk left, people in the village thought this place was unlucky, so they didn't want to come here, and it became deserted over time."

I don't know if it's because no one has spoken for a long time, but Hongyou sat on the stone bench and twirled silk while talking about the old house.

"When Sister Zhiye was here, everyone could do whatever they wanted. Now that Wushang is the village chief, he has to take care of everything, and it's inconvenient to do anything. I don't like him, you should have seen him, right? Is this person annoying?"

Mu Qingfeng couldn't answer these words, so he could only shake his head in silence.

Hongyou didn't seem to care, and instead mentioned the matter of the previous owner of the house, "Wu Shang told everyone that Sister Zhiye was driven mad by a curse, but I don't believe it. Sister Zhiye has been the village head for so many years. There is no one in the village who knows the curse better than her, so how can she be easily injured by the curse? Only Wushang knows the truth of the matter."

"Miss Qingfeng, I think you are a capable person, can you help me find out about Sister Zhiye's affairs, okay? As a reward, I will give you a treasure, how about it?"

After finishing speaking, she quietly observed Mu Qingfeng's reaction.

However, the other party's expression was indifferent, showing no joy or anger.

She chuckled, looked at Mu Qingfeng, and said, "I know why you outsiders appear here. This treasure of mine can allow you to find the entrance to that place in advance. If you come early, if there is no accident , In a few days, more people will come to the village. At that time, the village will be lively. I hope you can do this before these people come."

The conditions are very attractive, but Mu Qingfeng doesn't want to agree to her easily, "Why do you think I can do this? And I haven't promised you yet."

Hongyou raised her head, looked straight at Mu Qingfeng with a pair of clear eyes, and said nothing.

Mu Qingfeng turned her head, "How can I trust you?"

The appearance of this person was strange, and the request was also strange. Mu Qingfeng couldn't tell if she was real or not.

Hongyou took out a few balls of silk thread from the basket, her fingers fluttered, but it formed a knot in a moment, and she stuffed the vanilla into it.Holding the silk thread made of red thread, she glanced at Mu Qingfeng, then got up and went to an abandoned room in the deserted house.

The house had been unoccupied for a long time, and it was full of dust and cobwebs.

"Wait here, don't come in." Hongyou instructed, and closed the dilapidated wooden door in front of Mu Qingfeng, blocking her sight.

Of course, Mu Qingfeng would not wait outside obediently. She gently pushed the dilapidated wooden door, only to hear a "squeak", and the wooden door was pushed open by her.

The inside was the same as what I saw before, the dilapidated tables, chairs, and cabinets were full of dust and cobwebs, and there were no footprints, Hong You was not here, where did she go?Is there another exit here?

Mu Qingfeng was thinking in his heart, and suddenly there was something strange under his feet, as if he had stepped on something, and when he looked down, there was a wooden hairpin buried in the thick dust.

The wooden hairpin looks very ordinary, one end looks like a leaf, and there are several cracks on it.This should be someone's old thing, Mu Qingfeng moved his foot, and did not move the wooden hairpin.

Footsteps sounded in the inner room, and then a person came out from inside, Mu Qingfeng backed out and closed the wooden door at the same time.

Hongyou saw the traces on the ground, but said nothing, she spread her palms, "This is for you."

A red silk thread in the palm exudes a faint spiritual energy under the sunlight, and it turns out to be an amulet.Although it seems that there is not much aura, it is extremely rare in the land of forbidden spirits. I don't know what method this person used to lock the aura into this silk and make it into a body protection.

"There is a red turquoise inside. When you put it in the water at night, it will tell you the location of the secret realm. I will give it to you in advance, and I hope you will keep your promise."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take your things and leave right away?" Mu Qingfeng was a little puzzled, "Just now you told me to stay here and not go in. I didn't listen to you, which shows that I am not a person who keeps my promise. How dare you Believe me?"

"I believe you."

Hongyou looked at the broken wall with complicated eyes.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Mu Qingfeng found that there seemed to be a few more cracks on it.

Hong You's voice was quiet, and the afterimage of the broken wall was reflected in his dark pupils, "I don't know why, but when I saw you, I felt a familiar aura on you, and this aura made me believe that you are a Someone worthy of my trust. My time is running out, if you finish this matter, come to me again, if you don’t, then take it and leave.”

After saying this, she packed up the things on the stone table and put them into a basket, walked slowly to the side of the broken wall, looked back at Mu Qingfeng, and then walked into the side road without looking back.

"The food in the village has been added. Tell you which companions, it is best not to enter." Hongyou's voice came from behind the wall.

Mu Qingfeng walked behind the wall, but the other party was nowhere to be seen.

At this time, Xiaguang appeared in the sky, and the sun set to the west.

Su Sanniang walked from a distant yard holding Qiu Bingwen's arm, with a smile on her face, and a red jade-studded gold walking stick on her head, which shone brightly in the setting sun.

"Ms. Mu, it's getting late and the night is not peaceful. Go back early." Su Sanniang saw Mu Qingfeng standing outside the broken wall from a distance, and walked over with a smile, "I like your bracelet very much. I don't know if there are any more. There are many, I want to give to my mother-in-law?"

Mu Qingfeng found an excuse, "There's still a bunch, but it's for an old friend, so it's inconvenient to give it away."

"Your old friend is not here now, why don't you pass it on to me, and I'll give you a basket of lavender."

"No, I have a very good friend, how can I give it away just because of a basket of weeds?" Mu Qingfeng shook his head, stretched out five fingers and waved.

Su Sanniang glanced at her and smiled, "Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow morning."

Back at the residence, Mo Yu and Xing Mu had already returned, sitting there silently, the atmosphere seemed a bit depressed.

Mu Qingfeng ignored them and went to his residence alone.At night, just like last night, the woman's crying was so sad outside the window, which made the smell sad.

There was a knock on the door.

"Friend Mu Daoist, it's me, open the door and let me in!" The other party's voice was crying, it was Chu Xihe.

When Mu Qingfeng walked to the door, there was indeed a person standing outside the door, holding a candle, and there was darkness behind him.

In the darkness, Mu Qingfeng suddenly saw a pair of eyes, which were like the night, as black as ink, and seemed to have merged with the darkness.

A cold chill came from the back, and Mu Qingfeng's hairs stood up, instinctively feeling a fatal danger.

"Boom boom boom!"

Chu Xihe was still knocking on the door, through the crack of the door, Mu Qingfeng noticed that her eyes were dull, her face was covered with tears, and her movements were extremely slow, obviously she was attacked by something.

It was just an ordinary wooden door, and the thing seemed to be blocked by the door hiding in the dark.

Mu Qingfeng took out the silk that was red during the day, and the silk glowed red, driving away the cold air around.She pointed to cast Zhu You's mysterious technique, but the aura was too weak to stretch even the simplest spells.

She looked down at her fist, and a thought suddenly appeared in her mind.

strength!

After all, this cold evil spirit is also a kind of strength.

Spiritual power is also a kind of power.

Taking advantage of the subtle aura on the red turquoise, pouring it into his fist, Mu Qingfeng accumulated strength, and suddenly punched out a shadow of the fist.

The shadow of the fist is like the wind, piercing through the space and escaping into the darkness.

A shrill scream broke the night, and a faint blue flame suddenly ignited in the darkness.

In the firelight, Mu Qingfeng saw a pale face, where there were only two black holes hanging abruptly on the face where the eyes were.Then a crack appeared from the nose, and the crack became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a shadow and dissipated in the air.

The cold air in the air dissipated, Chu Xihe also stopped knocking on the door, her eyes were a little more puzzled, and she didn't look as dull as now.

The sound of the door opening came from the living room. When Chu Xihe knocked on the door, other people noticed the movement here, and they were observing the movement outside in their rooms.

"What was causing the trouble just now?" Mo Yu came out of the room.

Chu Xihe still stood there dumbfounded, and it seemed that she hadn't fully recovered.

In the living room, there seemed to be something extra in the place where the shadow appeared. Mu Qingfeng opened the door and walked out, and found a wooden hairpin with very clear cracks. It turned out to be the old hairpin that he saw in the old house during the day .

But why did this old hairpin appear here?
Did it follow quietly by itself?
Mu Qingfeng bent down and picked up the old hairpin. His hands were slightly cold, and there was a trace of filth left on it. It wrapped around Mu Qingfeng's fingertips, trying to penetrate the skin and enter her body.

However, even without spiritual body protection, Mu Qingfeng's own defense is extremely strong, and this trace of evil can't affect her in the slightest.

"What is this?"

Chu Xihe's consciousness has fully recovered, but her face looked extremely pale, and her whole body revealed a kind of fatigue.

I don't know what kind of wood this wooden hairpin is made of, even if it is entangled with this filth, it can't match the original fragrance of the wood. The fragrance seems a bit like Gracilaria.

wrong!

There was a flash of lightning in Mu Qingfeng's mind, and something came to mind, it was lavender!
This is the aroma of lavender.

But the branches of lavender are soft, and it is impossible to make hairpins.Looking at the leaves on the hairpin, Mu Qingfeng finally remembered what it was, it was the leaves on the old tree at the end of Fushan Village.

He casually found a piece of square cloth to wrap the old wooden hairpin, put it in his cloth bag, got up and saw three pairs of questioning eyes.

"Don't ask me," Mu Qingfeng spread his hands, "I don't know anything."

"I saw this wooden hairpin during the day." Mo Yu pointed to the tea table in the distance, "Shortly after you came back, there was an old wooden hairpin there. It seems that this hairpin has another origin."

Chu Xihe's complexion looked very bad, "At night, the gang passed by the coffee table, and suddenly felt a stabbing pain in the back of the neck, and when they returned to the room, they fainted for a while, and had no memory of what happened afterwards. "

After finishing speaking, she exposed the back of her neck, and there was a purple bruise on it, which was gradually dissipating at this moment.

Seeing the purple bruises and the evil spirit on the wooden hairpin, several people guessed that there was a remnant spirit attached to the wooden hairpin.

"Mu Daoyou, did you bring this old wooden hairpin back from outside?" Mo Yu stared into Mu Qingfeng's eyes, with undisguised suspicion in his tone.

Mu Qingfeng chuckled, "To be honest, I did see it elsewhere today. However, I did not bring this wooden hairpin,"

There is nothing to hide about this matter, not to mention that she met Su Sanniang and Qiu Bingwen when she came out.

"I went to a deserted house during the day, and I saw this hairpin in an old house there. At that time, I thought it was an old thing of the owner of the house, and I didn't tamper with it. When I left, the hairpin was still in the original place. As for how it appeared here, I don’t know.”

Mu Qingfeng only talked about the old wooden hairpin, but didn't mention anything about Duanqiang and Hongyou.

This kind of explanation not only failed to convince the rest of the people, but also created more suspicions about her.

Mo Yu looked skeptical, "If it wasn't for you, wouldn't it be able to fly? You were the only one who came into contact with them. Now you say that it has nothing to do with you. How can we believe it?"

Mu Qingfeng sneered, "I'm only telling the truth. As for whether you believe it or not, that's your problem. What does it have to do with me?"

Now there are only four people here, Qiu Bingwen picked up things after Mu Qingfeng came back, and left with Su Sanniang, and did not come back after dark, he must have stayed at someone else's house.

Although several people had doubts about Mu Qingfeng, all of this was just speculation, and there was no evidence that she brought back the old wooden hairpin.

What's more, even if the old wooden hairpin really belonged to her, several people could not hold her back.In such a place, regardless of strength or means, even if they join hands, they are not sure to subdue her.
