Mystery Leaks

Chapter 97

"Broken formation?" I was puzzled.

Hu Lai explained: "The peach blossom forest belongs to the yang formation, while the yellow spring is the death energy. Under the impact of the death energy, the peach blossom formation may have a gap."

"Don't think about it, we've been tricked!" Huang Mao said with a depressed face.

"You mean, they already expected us to tie the dragon rope?" I was startled.

"We were trapped on the mountain for more than two days, and we were released suddenly. It happened to be when you were digging the well. They predicted our reaction. They waited for us to tie up the dragon rope and break the formation by ourselves. Once the peach blossom formation was broken, they Then you can come in swaggeringly." Hu Lai also analyzed.

Cao Nan and I were speechless and asked the heavens, ghosts and ghosts, it is true that ghosts are smarter than humans, and they are linked together, plotting us to death.

They first transferred Huang Mao and Hu Lai away, then used Yangmou to force me to dig a well, and then used a conspiracy to release Huang Mao and Hu Lai back. As soon as we met, we immediately guessed that the group of ghosts wanted to explore the well , So I think I'm smart and act first.

After that, the array was broken by ourselves.

Huang Mao once told me that the Peach Blossom Formation is a defensive magic circle, and like a fortress, it is easiest to break through from the inside.

There is a lot of information revealed here. First, they know us well after joining forces, and second, they know more about the underground than we do.

Regardless of information or strength, they crush us.

I instinctively thought of the flaying ghost, the one that frightened He Laoyao crazy. It had been entrenched in Jinpen Township for many years. Maybe it was watching when the Japanese attacked; so I knew about the underground.

Of course, this is just a guess, and no one knows what's going on.

Thinking of this, I felt a sense of powerlessness in my heart. Those things can make Huangmao and Hu Lai into a mess, and they have calculated their reactions, which is simply terrible.

The ghosts shown in film and television dramas that jump at anyone, even if they encounter ghost-slaying Taoist priests, dare to fly moths to flames, are all deceptive;

"What now?" I asked anxiously.

"What can we do, since they want to find out, let them find out, the last three lives have not been repaid?" Huang Mao looked indifferent.

"Three lives, love?" I was even more baffled, how could the three lives of the seductive soul be involved.

"The last time we summoned the soul, the three souls were intact. Why do you think it is?" Huang Mao asked with a smile when he saw my expression was different.

I was stunned. The last time I found the soul, I didn't see it with my own eyes. I fell into the nightmare of the tragedy downstairs. Later, I only knew that the three souls were fine, but they were trapped. Never thought about why.

"The soul seduced by ghosts has a high probability of being wiped out, or being tortured and incomplete. The person seduced by the ghost will die in severe cases, and insanity in light cases. It's like a cat stealing fish. Even if you don't eat it, you will lick it. Take two bites." Huang Mao said again.

"Then why?" I asked, if I didn't say I didn't know, it seemed strange when I said it.

"It's very simple. I don't want to offend you too much with dirty things. They still need you to do things for them. It's a small favor. Otherwise, I won't be able to get those three souls back so easily. Even if I get them back, I'm afraid the three of them will have to be nervous." Confused." Huang Mao said.

I'm speechless, and I don't know if I can believe this statement. Anyway, what Huangmao said, there should be some truth.

"Let's come back at night to see what ghosts and monsters will come out." Hu Lai said.

Huang Mao nodded, "I'm going to get some binoculars." After speaking, he ran away, presumably going to Xiaohonglou again.

"You can't keep people here at night, and you have to stop pumping water." Hu Lai said to me.

I nodded quickly, this is easy to handle, there are so many ruthless excuses.Afterwards, we went back, changed our clothes, and waited for the evening to "watch the fun".

In the afternoon, I greeted Uncle Liu and Guo Chao. Since the night in the village was not peaceful, I took the machine back at night and stopped smoking. I will come back tomorrow.

Liu Bogong and others said yes, the night in the village is indeed not peaceful, and after pumping water for a day, the rice fields of each family have been flooded, and the drought has eased, so there is no need to rush.

……

As time went by at night, we lurked in the old house before dark, went up to the second floor after dark, and aimed our binoculars at the peach grove.

A slightly incomplete full moon hangs high in the sky, the sky is as if there is no cloud at all, the silver glow is like white silk, and the peach forest [-] meters away is clearly visible.

Huang Mao borrowed four binoculars, one for each of them, looking through the lens, the peach blossom forest was close at hand.

"When will the bunch of things show up?" I asked.

"What you want to see, some things are invisible." Hu Lai said, and then said: "I am more interested in what methods they will use to tie the dragon rope."

"Then when will it appear?" I asked again, a little nervous and a little excited.

"It should be midnight, I guess." Huang Mao replied.

But the fact... was not as Huangmao had guessed, nothing happened for a whole hour at midnight, and it was still calm until halfway through the ugly hour.

This made me murmur in my heart. Could it be that my prediction was wrong?They don't come tonight at all, wait for two days for the full moon night, when the cloudy air will be more intense?
When I expressed my doubts, Huang Mao and Hu Lai couldn't be sure.

Not reconciled, we waited for a while, until I was about to doze off, and was finally awakened by Cao Nan's low cry: "Look, there is movement on the ridge in the middle of the rice field!"

I hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked over there, and sure enough, I found three black shadows moving fast on the ridge of the rice field. If you look closely, they looked like people, with their waists bent, and they seemed to be carrying something on their backs.

"It's the three brothers of the Tu family!" Huang Mao whispered.

I compared it again, and found that it was true, the old Tuhu was at the front, and the third brother Tu Xiong, who was relatively fat, was at the back, and the second child Tubao was definitely in the middle.These three brothers have never seen them separated, they always do everything together, and never leave alone. It is estimated that if they marry a daughter-in-law in the future, they will always be three together.

"What are they carrying?" Cao Nan asked curiously.

I took a closer look, and it was round and quite big.

Hu Lai said: "It's a winch. They have to be tied up with long cables. They are well prepared."

"Hmph, human and ghost collusion!" Huang Mao sneered, and said: "The three brothers of the Tu family are definitely not the real masters, they are just doing odd jobs."

I was secretly startled, the winch is a winch, a bit like a millstone for grinding tofu.When I went to the county seat yesterday, Grandma Qiu said that the Japanese used winches to pull up the dragon cable, and eight cows were used. The strength is terrifying to think about.

The winch is a very labor-saving thing. It will be used when high pressure is required for oil extraction in the country.

"The grinding mill is very heavy. They can actually walk like flying with the grinding disc on their backs. Isn't that too strong?" Cao Nan keenly noticed something was wrong.

Hu Lai and Huang Mao exchanged a look, and frowned slightly.

I was also surprised, whether the grinding disc is made of stone or iron, it is relatively heavy. Divided into three parts, it would cost at least two hundred catties. A strong person can carry it, but it will definitely not be easy, and it is impossible to walk on the waist. fast.

Seeing this scene, I instinctively remembered a detail from the past. That time the three brothers of the Tu family invited me, Cao Nan and Feng Daniu to dinner. During the dinner, they ordered three big bowls of Maoxuewang, and each person ate a bowl cleanly. , And that's not all, before leaving, he asked the boss to extort a bag of marinated pig's blood.

At that time, I felt that something was wrong with them, but I didn't think much about it. It may be a personal taste, but combined with the memory of the incident before me, it felt even more wrong.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that I seem to have remembered something, Huang Mao asked.

So I told them that they like to eat Maoxuewang. Huang Mao and Hu Lai were a little shocked when they heard this.

Huang Mao said: "Are you sure they each ate a big bowl?"

"Yes, that's right." I said with certainty.

Cao Nan also replied immediately: "That's right, I also remembered that they eat Maoxuewang as food."

"Living people are bloodthirsty?!" Hu Lai said happily, "It's getting more and more interesting. All the monsters are gathered together. It's very lively."

"What, monster?" My heart skipped a beat.

Huang Mao turned his head and said to me: "The three brothers of the Tu family, I'm afraid they have fallen into evil!"
