Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 100

The ancient ballads seem to be able to move people's minds, but I gradually forgot my identity and became intoxicated by them.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, the villagers roared together, pulling me back from my intoxication.It turned out that the ballad was over, and the old man who sang the ballad bowed slightly to the audience with a solemn expression, and then got off the high stage.

I don't know if it was my illusion, but I always felt that he glanced in our direction when he came down, and the emotions in his eyes were quite complicated.

After the old man got down, the villagers also got up slowly. When they walked past us, they didn't seem to see us.Even the corpse exorcist who was cold-eyed at us last night walked past me expressionlessly. Only a few children looked at us curiously, but quickly looked away.

"Where are they?" Seeing the villagers walking towards the village in an orderly manner without making any sound, I asked curiously.

Lao Yan looked at the high platform, and then said with a strange expression: "This is someone from the village who has left, and he is a highly respected person. Only such people can enjoy the funeral treatment of the whole village, but..."

He paused, and then said: "It's just that I'm listening to the funeral music, but something is wrong."

"Well, it's been changed a bit." Kunbu looked at the backs of the villagers, and said in a cold voice, "It's actually meant to praise the corpse of the dead."

I touched my chin in confusion: Praise the corpse of the dead?
Then the three of us looked at each other, and we all thought of a possibility—that is, someone died in the village, and the corpse would also be taken to raise the sun bird!
"Why do we have to participate in the funeral?" Kumbu and Lao Yan looked unusually solemn just now, and they are no different from those villagers. If I don't know, I probably think they are members of the funeral procession.

Lao Yan took out a cigarette and smoked it slowly, saying that this was a respect for this ancient family, and it was also a kind of etiquette to get along with.

"Chang'an, you have to remember that those in our business must maintain awe! Although we are still in a hostile relationship with the villagers, we should respect some of their important ceremonies, such as sacrifices and funerals. There must be." Lao Yan's words were not serious, but I could understand what he meant.

It's probably because we encounter a lot of weird things in our line of work, and it's only by maintaining awe that we can feel more at ease.

After hearing this, I glanced at Kumbu, his eyes were brighter than ever, presumably he agreed with Lao Yan's words very much.Of course, I think the reason why he followed Lao Yan should have something to do with Lao Yan's respect for his family.

We pondered on the spot for a while, and then slowly returned to our residence.

"Chang'an, you are back!"

As soon as I entered the door, I was hugged by Yazai. His sunglasses had been put on again, and I couldn't see any emotion, but I could still feel his fear from his movements.

I was just about to ask him what he was afraid of, when Miss Qiu came over from behind and slapped the boy on the back of the head: "Is it okay to be a little promising, the kombu bugs are protecting us, as for scaring you into this Ghostly?"

Yazai smiled and let me go, as if he was a little embarrassed, but he just didn't go into the house, because the kombu's Gu worms were still surrounding the place where they were lying before.

Miss Qiu continued to tease: "You don't know, just now he has been lying there not daring to move, maybe he will turn into a stone after lying down for a while."

"Sister Qiu!" Yazai was teased by her like this, and he couldn't hold back his face after all, but he didn't dare to argue with Miss Qiu, he just stood by the door and shrank, looking at Kumbu from time to time.

But no one had time to talk to him. Lao Yan and Ms. Qiu talked about the current situation, and Ms. Qiu's face turned dark: "If it wasn't for my bag of things, I would have blown up here directly! What kind of broken corpse family, no It’s just raising corpses, it’s mysterious.”

I just remembered when she said that, and asked if our things were taken away by the corpse exorcist?
These things are very important, without them we can't go on the road ahead, we can't rely on Lao Yan and me to run out of guns and a few daggers, right?
"If you didn't see it in a hidden place, they probably took it away." Miss Qiu said in a bad tone: "They are impatient if they dare to take things from my aunt, Lao Yan, we can't always Are you so timid?"

Lao Yan coughed twice, laughed and dismissed Miss Qiu's question perfunctorily, and then said with a smile: "Kunbu, don't scare the baby, put these bugs away."

Kumbu whistled expressionlessly, and then the bugs flew back to his palm obediently. Seeing the special language of the bugs rubbing their calves against their heads, Kumbu's face changed slightly.

"What's the matter?" Lao Yan asked while closing the door while carrying the boy from the door to the house.

Kunbu put the Gu worm back into his sleeve, and said softly, "Someone came here during the time we came back."

My first reaction was that it was impossible. The villagers obviously gathered at the end of the village to bury the dead. After that, we came back without much delay. Where did the villagers get the time?

"Xiao Qiu, when did you wake up?" Lao Yan frowned.

Miss Qiu looked at the sky, and then said, "I've been awake for more than half an hour..."

"That's weird... Kunbu, can you sense when someone came in?" Lao Yan rubbed his chin and walked around the room: "There is no sign of anyone coming in."

What he said made my hair stand on end, na na asked if it is possible that the person who came in was not a human?

Lao Yan smiled helplessly, saying that even if he is not human, he will leave traces, such as the zongzi we met.

"You met Zongzi?" Before Kunbu could reply, Yazai suddenly jumped over, put aside the shock just now, and seemed to have just noticed that Lao Yan still had injuries on his body: "Are you seriously injured?"

I sneaked a glance at Kumbu, after all, if it wasn't for Tashi, Lao Yan and I wouldn't be able to come back this time, but Tashi didn't let me say it, so I had no choice but to bury it in my heart.

Lao Yan dismissed Yazai with a few words, and rummaged with Kumbu in a corner of the room.

Yazai saw that they ignored him, so he leaned over and pestered me, asking me to tell him what Zongzi looked like, whether it was strong or not.

I am a little curious that he has never seen zongzi. After all, he has lived in 701 since he was a child. Even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs running, right?

"Isn't this limited in business ability?" Yazai scratched his hair: "Is Zongzi so powerful that he can't die anyway?"

I didn't reply to this sentence, but gave him a meaningful look, and told him that I might be able to see Zongzi in the next two days, and I'll know when I go and see it myself.

I intended to scare him, but he stared at the void with bright eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "Now I can finally gain some face in front of Master when I go back..."

"Yizai, come here!" Lao Yan, who was looking for something at the corner of the room, suddenly beckoned to Yazai.

Yazai walked over inexplicably, and asked Lao Yan what he was looking for. Lao Yan raised his hand and suddenly covered Yazai's head. : "Old Yan, you bully me when my master is not around, see my master and sue you when I go back!"

Lao Yan didn't pay attention to him at all, but rubbed his hands, and then a miraculous scene appeared: a silver line slowly appeared in Lao Yan's palm, if you didn't look carefully, you almost thought it was an illusion.

The silver thread was about one meter long after it was unfolded, and it was faintly wrapped around the boy. If Lao Yan hadn't slapped it down, we wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"This is?" Lao Yan was a little uncertain.

The boy was still yelling, and Lao Yan kicked his ass: "What are you crying and howling, hurry up and see what this thing is?"

Yazai didn't dare to refute, stood up muttering while rubbing his butt, suddenly, he froze, and said word by word: "Pull, soul, thread!"

"What's that?" We all leaned over, expressing our curiosity about this unknown thing.
