Mystery Leaks

Chapter 288

After hearing this, Huang Mao squatted on the ground and looked carefully, trying to find some clues of footprints, but shook his head and said: "There are too many footprints and messy, it is of no value."

"Then go to the peach grove to squat on it tonight and see if it's a human or a ghost." Cao Nan clapped his fist and gritted his teeth.

We nodded. At present, we can only do this, and we must do this.

……

In the evening, I, Huang Mao, and Hu Lai lurked in the peach forest early, while Cao Nan and Feng Daniu stayed at the fair to do watch, ready to support at any time.

Now that something happened, the watchdog couldn't stop. Feng Daniu took my place. He is also a descendant of the mausoleum guard, so it's no problem to replace me.

Time passed by, one watch...two watch, nothing abnormal around Suolongjing.

We wait patiently, because there is no evidence that the person or thing that broke the chain of dragons will appear tonight.

Hours passed one by one, until the sky turned pale and the rooster greeted the morning, but nothing happened.

Obviously, the other party has no plans to do something tonight.

Not only that, but it was still the same for three consecutive days after that; it made us suffer to death, forcing us to stay up for three nights with our eyes open, without any gain.The terrible thing is that we dare not relax. The matter is so important that we have no other choice but to continue to guard.

Day [-].

We lurked down early again, planning to take turns to rest, and each of us would watch for two hours.

I will guard first, while Hu Lai and Huang Mao will sleep first.

The night is getting deeper, and the time is gradually pointing to the second watch. The hazy waning moon occasionally sheds a little silver light through the clouds, making the peach forest look quiet and deep.

Gradually, I felt that the atmosphere in the forest had changed, becoming gloomy, and the gentle night breeze also listened.

Without my calling, Hu Lai and Huang Mao opened their eyes at the same time. It was still early at this time, and they were in a light sleep.

"Shusha... Pata!"

Faintly, I heard footsteps, very slight, if I didn't listen carefully, I couldn't hear them at all, and there was also the sound of dead branches being trampled.

Hearing the sound of arguing, I hurriedly looked at a thatched cottage on the opposite side.

Something is coming!

It stayed there for a while before moving again. It looked like a human being, and it walked like a ghost. It moved lightly and barely heard the sound, and its movements were a little stiff.

It went to the well, squatted down, and then sparks started in its hand, and something ignited.

The moment the flame lit up, a familiar and pale face appeared, which surprised me.

Ge Laosan!

It was the missing Ge Laosan. In that flood, a turtle-like beast appeared in the river, covered in scales, with golden horns on its head, and a blood-red coffin tied on its back with iron chains.

Ge Laosan mistakenly thought that the horn on the head of the strange beast was gold, jumped into the river, cut off the golden horn, and ran into the mountain, and never saw him again.

We have always inferred that Ge Laosan was possessed, but we did not expect him to appear again.

Looking at it now, the guess came true. At this time, Ge Laosan was not angry at all, like a walking corpse, his eyes were dull, and two red lights flickered in the depths of his pupils, which made his scalp tingle.

The golden horn is ominous, it's not gold at all, but something from a strange beast, full of ferocity, whoever touches it will die.

But Ge Laosan is poor and crazy, desperate, and this is the end.In this way, he can be regarded as the second person who was clearly murdered after Feng Deliang.

At this moment, what he ignited was the golden horn of the strange beast that he took away back then.

The golden horn burned a red and black flame, which looked very strange. It was roasting the dragon chain, and the dragon chain hummed softly, as if it was weakly resisting.

I have never seen such a strange flame, so I mouthed Hu Lai next to me and asked him what it was.

Hu Lai stretched out his hand and wrote two words on the ground: "Yehuo!"

I half understood, feeling that this should be something that Buddhism often talks about, but I didn't expect it to be manifested.

The dragon lock chain must have been blessed with a lot of mana, otherwise it would not be possible to exist for such a long time without decay and immortality. Ordinary fire is definitely ineffective against it, and it is impossible for knives and guns to be effective.

But all things generate and restrain each other, and Suolongjing must have something that can restrain and disintegrate it. From the current point of view, it is this karmic fire.

At this time, Huangmao patted me lightly, and made a mouth-shape to me: Do it.

Without further ado, I immediately activated the nine-star wheel, a large amount of Yuanyang power was poured into it, the nine-star wheel spun rapidly, and the god stone beads of the two elements of yang and fire gradually merged together.

"Roar!"

In the next moment, a fire python that was as thick as a small tree and as long as ten feet roared, opened its mouth and bit Ge Laosan fiercely.

Since it was a sneak attack, and there was only one target, kill him with one blow, leaving no room for the other party to resist.

The fire of karma burns the resentment of time, and Jin Jiao obviously focused on such "fuel", which is not so easy to find

As long as Ge Laosan is killed and Golden Horn is taken away, no matter how much power Ge Laosan has behind him, he has to rest for a while.

The fire python arrived in no time and immediately engulfed Ge Laosan.

He flew out directly and turned into a ball of fire. Something black jumped out of his body. He wanted to escape, but he was hit by the fire. He was instantly ignited into a big fire, and burned into nothingness in mid-air. , only had time to let out a scream.

We rushed over, and Ge Laosan was torn apart, but there was no trace of blood in the gap. It was obvious that he had been dead for a long time, and there was even a faint rotten smell.

Huang Mao squatted down, and used two branches to pinch the still burning golden horn out of Ge Laosan's hand.

I took a look, and half of this thing has been burned, and it must have been used when burning the dragon chain in the Feng family's ancestral grave.

The karmic fire is black and red, which is very strange. If it weren't for that little bit of red, it would be invisible in the dark.

"What exactly is this karmic fire?" I asked hastily; at first hearing, I thought it was something from Buddhism.

"Kammic fire is a kind of thing that burns all karma in the world. Everyone has it more or less, and it is related to cause and effect; it is said that only Buddhists who have achieved fruition can see it." Hu Lai explained, and said: "This It is obviously unusual that the golden horn can burn out the karmic fire, which means that the strange beast and the blood coffin are contaminated with a lot of karma, otherwise it would be impossible for the karmic fire to manifest."

"Using the existence of Jin Jiao and Ge Laosan is also very unusual. It is probably a ghost family. The evil ghost who was burned to death just now is just a small character." Huang Mao said.

I nodded. An ordinary little character, who has nothing to do with burning some iron chains, must have powerful forces behind him.

"Let it burn out. Keep this thing for something that will harm people after all. The karma is too strong, the cause and effect are too heavy, and it is very fierce. Whoever touches it will be unlucky." Huang Mao said, and put the golden horn on a stone after speaking, and let burn by it.

I thought for a while, and said: "If the ghosts did it, then they probably won't let it go. If they fail once, they will come again. What should we do? We can't keep guarding like this?"

"This question is not difficult. In this way, I will let the silver-eyed mandrill keep an eye on this place. If there is anything abnormal, I will send a letter immediately. When the time comes, I will ask your third uncle to activate the thunderstorm circle. No matter what comes, it will be wiped out!" Huangmao Dingce .

I nodded slowly. This method is feasible. The silver-eyed mandrill has been watching the movement on the golden basin recently. Now that the focus has shifted, it is time to pull back to monitor the peach forest.

What makes me feel a little uneasy is that the thunderstorm circle mastered by my third uncle has now become the last and most important line of defense in Jinpen Township.

The more the focus of attention, the greater the risk of third uncle's exposure. The ghost clan cannot destroy the thunderstorm circle, but the person who controls the thunderstorm circle becomes a breakthrough.

It would be dangerous if the third uncle showed his feet.

It's just that now we have no other choice but to take one step at a time.

Afterwards, Hu Lai inspected the burned dragon chain, and saw that the color of the iron chain at the burnt part became a little whitish, and said: "The dragon chain is fine, but it has been damaged. What is the fire of karma? A strange fire."

Huangmao and I looked at Jinjiao, and while we were talking, it had burned down to the last bar.Huangmao blew on it, then poured it with soil and water, but the karmic fire did not go out at all. He couldn't help but marvel: "It really isn't a common fire!"

"The fire of karma burns the karma of cause and effect. Strictly speaking, it is not a real flame. It cannot be extinguished if it is not done properly." Hu Lai said, after a pause, he said in doubt: "Every ghost has a lot of karma. There shouldn't be any existence among them that can use karmic fire, what's going on?"

"Could it be that it's not ghosts who are doing the damage, but people?" Huang Mao asked.

"Human and ghost collusion?" I added.

Hu Lai frowned deeply, and said, "But if it's not a ghost clan, who is it?"

We were all silent, because this question was destined to be unsolvable, we talked for a while, and when the golden horn was completely burnt out, we went back to our original positions.

In order to prevent the existence of burning the tied dragon rope from attacking again, it must be guarded until dawn.

……

After going back, I immediately hung a red dress upstairs.

This is the secret code agreed upon by my third uncle, a specific color designates a specific number, and we will contact each other at night to prevent being monitored.

Before that, I got six or seven obsolete second-hand mobile phones for my third uncle, and I also gave six or seven numbers that had never been activated.Lose a mobile phone and a calling card at a time, never repeat.

Third Uncle's safety is the top priority now, and nothing can be lost.Otherwise, the entire Jinpen Township, including myself, will face the danger of being overthrown, so we must be cautious.

At noon, I dialed the new number on my new mobile phone. As expected, my third uncle was ready and the call was connected.

I told the story about locking the dragon chain, and the third uncle agreed, saying that he was working in the village during this period and was ready to activate the magic circle at any time.

After a pause, he said: "Xiao Lei, it's time to tell you something about the magic circle. This magic circle is not activated without limit. Every time you activate it, you must be cautious. The magic circle relies on absorbing the thunderstorms in the sky. If there is no supplement later, the magic circle can only be activated once on a large scale, and three times on a small scale."

I was taken aback, I really didn't expect this, so I asked: "That is to say, after three small-scale thunderstorms, you have to wait until there is thunder in the sky before the magic circle can regain momentum?"

"Yes, that's what it means. It's the rainy season now. There's a lot of rain but no thunder. So save some money. Only in summer can you be more generous and exert its greatest power." The third uncle said.

My heart sank, only three times!

It would be dangerous if the being who broke the chain knew this; it only needed to send three cannon fodder to crack it.

Jinpen Township is too dangerous without a thunderstorm town.

It seems that Huangmao's strategy won't work, we have to go to watch the night, and when it really doesn't work, activate the thunderstorm circle.

Three times is not enough insurance, if you can't start it when you can't use it, then the fun will be great.

After that, I talked with my third uncle for a while, and agreed that it was not a last resort, and I didn't know how to use the thunderstorm circle.

Hanging up the phone, I destroyed the phone together with the card, then went to Huangmaohu, and explained the situation of the thunderstorm circle.

"Only three times left?!" Huang Mao was a little surprised, and said: "If this is the case, facing the large-scale attack of the ghost clan, Jinpen Township can't resist it at all."

"It is estimated that the ghost clan should not have grasped this situation, otherwise they would not have waited until now." Hu Lai analyzed.

I sighed, I didn't know where I belonged, and I was shocked when I found out, the situation in Jinpen Township was not optimistic.

Gradually, I found that as I grew up, I couldn't just think about myself anymore. The Meng family is a family of tomb guards and the leader of generations. do it.

Gradually, the burden on myself became much heavier than before, and it became much more.

This may be the so-called, with great power comes great responsibility.
