Infinite Darkness Rise

The mountain wind was howling, and because there were mountains blocking the moonlight, the forest seemed very dark, and nothing could be seen clearly.

After Xu Le searched at the foot of the mountain for a while, he searched upwards again. After stepping up a little, he was surprised to find that there was a faint fire on another cliff not far away...

If there is no problem in the small village... then where is the problem?

Where is the wraith?Comparing the distance, Xu Le found that if the straight-line distance was calculated, the place where he and others had just arrived was indeed closer to the cliff, while the village was much farther away...

Where did Dajiurisaburo go?

Xu Le didn't continue to search anymore, since there was no trace of Dajiurisaburo in this mountain range, so he probably went there.In this way, he is really in danger.

The information to be obtained from the Wraith Spirit was basically confirmed, and the whereabouts of Ojiri Saburo who was to be known was also basically confirmed, so Xu Le returned to the dilapidated village.

The house rented to them was an old man who called himself Ji Neiji. It was obvious that he was very poor. The dinner he prepared for everyone just now was nothing more than salted fish and dried rice, which was really not a delicious food.Neither Xu Le nor Tu Renji ate, but the rest of them ate quite deliciously.

Xu Le came back from the outside, and the rest of the people had almost rested. He thought for a while, maybe he could get some information from the local old man Si Nei Zhi, so he knocked on the door of Si Nei Zhi's room.

Ji Neiji fell asleep quite quickly, and it took a while before he turned on the light, and after a while, he opened the door to him: "It turned out to be you, the young man in the lead, and it's already night Now, can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

"Oh, that's right, Mr. Temple, I have something to ask you, which is related to our plan for tomorrow. After all, you are an old man here, and there should be no one around here who knows more than you." Xu Le said.

The expression on the old man's face was obviously much happier: "Since you said so, then come in and talk."

Xu Le followed him into the room, the two sat down, Xu Le considered his thoughts before asking: "Mr. Si Nei, my companion is lost nearby, where do you think he is most likely to go? How should we search tomorrow?"

He didn't dare to mention the place he saw just now. Since there are vengeful spirits in that place, who knows whether these mountain village residents will regard it as a taboo place. After he brings it up, he might be hostile.

"Lost in the vicinity?" Terauchi Shi's body trembled suddenly, and his old appearance appeared even older. "Then I'm afraid you will never find it again."

"What? Why?" Xu Le exclaimed pretending to be surprised, but he thought to himself: Sure enough, there is something tricky. Have the people here noticed the existence of the resentful spirit?

"It all started seven years ago..." Terauchi Shi said with a long breath, his body trembling slightly.

Xu Le nodded calmly.

After thinking about it for a while, the temple director said again: "I didn't intend to hide these things from others, so even if I tell you, it's not a big deal."

"Seven years ago, our place was called Tianshang Village."

Glancing at Xu Le, Si Nei Zhi smiled wryly and said, "This name sounds very arrogant, doesn't it? In fact, this name is mainly because the people in our village used to be the servants of a big landlord called the Heavenly Family, so our village It is called Tianshang Village, and this name was also given to us by the master of the Tianshang family."

"Thanks to the blessing of the master of the family in the sky, we have been liberated and given money. Living here, we have electrical appliances, running water, and gas. For us, this is unimaginable."

"Of course, our descendants have lost this due gratitude. They have almost forgotten the grace of the family master in heaven. However, even so, the village is gradually prosperous, and the number of tourists is gradually increasing. Our life Gradually enriched, Tianshang Village gradually looks like a village that should exist in the sky, with a rich life and a beautiful environment.”

"However, all of this came to an abrupt end seven years ago..."

The old man's eyes widened, and he recalled those things back then.Xu Le looked at him, waiting for him to continue, as if he was getting closer to the truth.

"Seven years ago, a young man in our village disappeared suddenly. This incident shocked us so much that we sent people to look for him, but we couldn't find him anyway."

"Then, tourists disappeared one after another. Tianshang Village was completely abandoned and became a forbidden place for tourists. Even the management personnel appointed by the government were unwilling to come in. We were trapped here..."

Hearing this, Xu Le asked in confusion: "You are trapped here? Can't you leave?"

"Yes, you can leave. After the successive disappearances, we all became panicked and everyone was in a hurry to leave. Because of this, Tianshang Village can no longer be regarded as a village, and has been completely abandoned. .”

When the old man Zhi in the temple said this, he laughed sadly: "You go to two more houses, and you will know after a look. Apart from dozens of old people who depend on each other here, there is no one else here."

"Only the elderly...is it because the cost of living has greatly increased when they move to a big city, and the elderly have become a burden with only consumption and no income?" Xu Le asked.

The old man nodded heavily: "You guessed right, some old people stayed voluntarily for their children, some old people couldn't wait for their children to pick them up, and some old people wanted to go with them, but they were rudely thrown away." Down...and I am one of them."

As he said that, the old man's eyes were moist, and there were already shining tears.

Xu Le nodded sympathetically and handed him a tissue.

The old man wiped the corners of his eyes and looked at the dim electric light: "My son, Ichiro Terauchi, hasn't been here for five years."

Xu Le nodded again: "Your son is indeed not very filial."

After being sentimental with the old man for a while, the topic changed slightly, and he asked what he cared about again, "How many people are there in total? Is the place where they disappeared nearby?"

The old man shook his head: "I don't know how many people are missing, but they did disappear around here. I advise you not to look for it, otherwise, you will only be implicated. It happened at the beginning Someone disappeared, the police came to look for it, but two police officers disappeared.”

After Xu Le heard the words, he just smiled and didn't care: "Mr. Si Nei, besides Tianshang Village, is there any place nearby? If possible, can you give us a map?"

Siuchi Shi thought that he still planned to continue searching, so he couldn't help but sighed: "There is no map around here, but I still advise you not to search any further."

"That's our companion, I will definitely look for it. Please tell me, is there any other places nearby that might take people?" Xu Le asked.

"Apart from Tianshang Village, there is only the Tianshang family's mansion nearby. Perhaps your companions will be there." Temple Nechi said.

oh?so wonderful?The place where the resentful spirit was located turned out to be the mansion of the Heavenly Family?

So, that wraith was formed in the heavenly family seven years ago?

"Sakura"?Maybe it should be the cherry blossoms in the sky?What happened there?

Just as Xu Le was pondering, Si Nei Zhi spoke again.

"In addition, what you should understand is that the mountains and forests near here belong to the Tianshang family. At the beginning, the Tianshang family gave Tianshang Village a favor. The tourism industry in Tianshang Village also started under the care of the Tianshang Lord. I hope you don't To offend the Celestial Clan, it would be more polite to meet the head of the Celestial Clan wearing a raccoon mask."

"If you offend the master in the sky, I will never forgive you!"

This man is loyal, even though he is old, he still misses the kindness of his old master.However, what Xu Le is more concerned about is that the head of the Tiantian family actually wears a raccoon mask...

Tanukis are quite supernatural in Japanese legends. In many Japanese stories, tanuki have some extraordinary abilities.What does it mean that the head of this heavenly family wears a raccoon mask?Does it mean the spiritual aura of this world, or is it more straightforward to show that the wraith is in the heavenly family?

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Le chatted with the temple chief about some surrounding topics. After confirming that there were no other people around, Xu Le found an excuse and returned to his room.

The room is an old-fashioned tatami, that is, a floor-type bed that can lie down and sleep, and get up and go.Xu Le touched the cold, smelly quilt and felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he changed into his own quilt before resting again.

Take a good rest tonight, and go to the Heavenly Family tomorrow to see what happened.
