I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 59: Hidden Mist (asking for monthly ticket)

meow~
When Sang Que heard the sound of a cat's meow, he turned around and saw Xuan Yu squatting on the table in the main room of the Liu family, curiously sticking his head out to look outside.

It didn't become transparent!

Sang Que hurriedly picked up her things and went back into the house and closed the door to keep the fog out. Her hands, which had turned transparent, slowly returned to normal.

In this strange world, houses are really important. They can block wandering spirits and evil spirits at night, and now they can also prevent the invasion of strange fog.

"Why are you following me?"

Sang Que rubbed Xuan Yu's head. If other living creatures could not travel with him, this little guy would be doomed.

"It's very dangerous here. Don't run around. You must follow me closely."

Meow!
Xuan Yu nodded, his body a little tense, and he could feel the unusual atmosphere outside.

Some changes have taken place in Heishan Village, but Sangque is currently unaware of it. She glanced at the palm of her hand and saw that the hexagram Kun, which represented the Gate of Death, had indeed been consumed.

Taking out a candle from his bag, he lit it with a tinder, and looked around.

At this moment, the room was full of spider webs, the walls were covered with damp water stains, the table was covered with thick dust, and there were several centipedes crawling in the overturned teapot.

There were signs of decay and dilapidation everywhere, and grass was even growing between the cracks in the bricks underfoot.

Just now I saw that the outside seemed to be barren with no grass growing, but inside the house, there was life.

Sang Que frowned. She had only been away for ten days, but it felt like ten years here. Could it be that the time in the two worlds was out of sync again?
Sang Que was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

The doors on both the east and west sides were closed. Sang Que pushed open the door of the east room and found that there was no soul lamp or corpse mud jar left by her on the table.

The boxes on the bed were tilted to one side or the other, the bedding was rotten like a dead body, all kinds of insects were huddled together and wriggling in the oily black cotton wool, and there were splattered blood and large black mold spots on the walls.

Meow——

Xuanyu's vigilant growl was heard. As soon as Sangque walked out of the east room, he saw Xuanyu arching his back and breathing towards the closed door to the west.

"come out!"

Sang Que drew out the hatchet from his waist, held a ghost soldier talisman in his hand, and shouted lowly towards the west.

It was very strange that she could actually "sense" that Xuanyu was telling her that there was someone over there.

There was no movement inside, so Sang Que grabbed the teapot on the table and smashed it over.

"Don't force me to kill in!"

"No, no, no, I...I'll be right out."

The door to the west room opened, and a young man wearing a green scholar's robe, who was so thin that he was just skin and bones, hunched his neck, revealing half of his body.

Sang Que's heart was shocked. Could it be...

"Liu Jia Sanlang, Liu Tianyou?!"

When his name was called, Liu Tianyou showed a surprised look, "How did you recognize me, young lady?"

Sang Que felt the blood rushing to his brain, and he had the urge to turn around, open the door, go home, change clothes and go to bed.

After taking a breath to calm down, Sang Que said casually, "Your parents asked me to come find you."

Hearing this, Liu Tianyou ran out of the door excitedly, and raised the kitchen knife hidden behind him to the front.

"Are my parents safe? Are you from the Evil Suppression Division?"

Sang Que's expression was impervious to any doubt as he said, "Your parents and sister are all dead. They were murdered by Yan Daozi and his apprentice Ming Zhang."

"What?!" Liu Tianyou was so shocked that he lost his voice, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground.

Sang Que picked up the chair that had fallen to the ground and sat down. Xuan Yu jumped into her arms and watched her use wax to stick the candle on the table.

"You are the last bloodline of your Liu family, and you bear the responsibility of avenging them. If you want to live and want revenge, answer my questions truthfully. There is no point in being heartbroken here!"

"How many days have you been here?"

Liu Tianyou's eyes were red and tearful, he clenched his fists, looked at Sang Que, gritted his teeth, and finally cheered himself up.

"Today is the one hundred and fifty-first day."

Sang Que's eyes were filled with admiration. "You have been trapped in a strange place with nothing to eat or drink. It's not easy for you to hold on for so long. It also shows that you have something extraordinary." Liu Tianyou smiled sadly. "My parents have given everything to support my studies. I just don't want to let them down."

"How did you get here?" Sangque continued to ask.

Liu Tianyou shook his head and trembled. "I don't remember. I have been thinking about this incident for the past few months, but I only remember that early in the morning of March 14, I packed my bags from Tangyuan County and came back to visit my parents. Everything went smoothly along the way."

"Before dusk, I arrived at the village and met Yan Daozi's apprentice Ming Zhang. He asked me who I was and wrote my name in his book before letting me into the village."

"That night, I chatted with my parents and sister until very late, and fell asleep in the west room. When I woke up, I was here. I recalled it countless times, but I couldn't figure out what went wrong."

Sangque shuddered. There was no trace at all. It was likely that he had forgotten. Such an existence was really too scary. There was no way to guard against it. He could only rely on fate.

Liu Tianyou didn't know how he got here, and she herself didn't know why she appeared here as soon as she opened the door.

It could also be that her soul went deeper into the Nine Netherworld, causing her chances of encountering strange things to increase dramatically. How unlucky!

"I have seen blood-stained books falling in your yard many times. Did you know this?" Sang Que asked.

Liu Tianyou's eyes lit up, "Did you really see it?"

Sang Que was puzzled and didn't know what he was so excited about.

Liu Tianyou couldn't help shaking, "I lost it, so you came to me because you saw my message for help?"

Sang Que pressed the wound on his neck. The stitches had not been removed yet, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"How did you get the book out of here?"

Liu Tianyou said slowly, "Sometimes, I see some 'distortions' in the house and under the trees. I don't know how to describe it to you specifically, just like... in summer, when the ground is steaming, and you look ahead through the steam, you feel like water waves are floating."

"Well, I know, go on." Sang Que responded indifferently.

"At first, I tried to throw things into the Distortion. Most of the things disappeared as soon as they touched the Distortion. Only the book disappeared after passing through the Distortion."

"I thought that maybe words have the power of saints and can counteract this kind of 'distortion', so I tried to write a letter of rescue in the book."

Sangque asked, "Is there a pattern to the occurrence of this 'distortion'? How large is the scope of the 'distortion'? When will the next one happen?"

Liu Tianyou looked bitter. "There is no pattern. Sometimes it appears every day, and sometimes it doesn't appear for a month. But I have only seen this kind of 'distortion' in my main house and under the locust tree in the yard. The size of each appearance is different, but never larger than this."

Liu Tianyou raised his hand and compared the size. It was about the size of a watermelon.

Sang Que suddenly became a little anxious. She remembered that according to Ming Zhang's notes, Liu Tianyou disappeared in mid-March. Now, August 16, it has been exactly five months, more than 150 days.

For the time being, she regarded this place as the inner world of Heishan Village, and the time should be synchronized with that of Heishan Village outside.

As soon as the sun rises, it will be the 17th. The 18th is the Ghost Festival. Yan Daozi will sacrifice the entire Heishan Village. She must leave here before the 18th.

"How did you survive? What's with the fog outside?" Sangque continued to ask.

Liu Tianyou said, "There are day and night here too. The fog at night can make all living things disappear. I have seen some mice that strayed into this place. They disappeared in less than two breaths in the fog at night."

"The fog is thin during the day and won't disappear so quickly. I'll be fine as long as I leave the house for no more than a quarter of an hour. I always go out during the day to find food and water. Because of the fog, I never dare to leave the Black Mountain Village."

Sang Que suddenly wanted to open the door and go home, tell his mother everything and let her see if there were any clues.

But after she went back, she didn't have the extra energy to come to Heishan Village again. After the village resentment in Xujiawan Village, Xujiawan Village is now extremely "clean".

By the time she searches for evil spirits everywhere and gathers enough strength, and then comes to Black Mountain Village, I'm afraid this place will be completely deserted.

Also, what if she opens the door from here now and enters the other world of modern times?
Thinking of this possibility, Sangque's hair stood on end.

meow~
Xuan Yu seemed to sense her thoughts. He pressed his claws on the back of her hand, his eyes full of encouragement.

She can't rely on her mother for everything, her brain needs to be developed.

"Let me think for a moment. Don't talk or breathe. I need some quiet time."

Liu Tianyou was intimidated by Sang Que's aura, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose to slow down his breathing. He saw Sang Que frowning and thinking carefully.

In an instant, the only sound in the whole room was the snoring of the black cat Xuanyu.

About half a minute later, Sang Que came back to his senses, looked at Liu Tianyou and asked, "Do you still have that sage book?"

Regarding the other world, people who don't know about it don't need to get hung up on it, just think of it as the living world and the underworld. If you're really curious, you can also go watch the movie "Silent Hill" and find a few minutes of explanation to watch~
