Guardian of the Night

Chapter 3

After Lao Wu died, Ye Ye squatted in the mourning hall without a roof, mourning for his master.In the past three days, nothing happened again, the quiet sacrifice, the quiet burial, as if they never existed in this world at all.

Ye Ye's face lost the silly smile, and more sad and sad.He frowned, and there seemed to be some clarity in his eyes.

A few days after Lao Wu's death, Ye Ye couldn't figure out why the dead man would stand up again and strangle the master to death.He never understood that it was the black cat meat that he brought back to life, and then killed the master.

He didn't understand, so he started to search, so in addition to eating, master and life in his head, there was an additional cause of death for the master.

When Ye Ye was thinking about it, suddenly the cat jumped off the wall, waking up Ye Ye who was thinking.

"Ah, it was you, you were the one who saved me that day? Thank you, hello, my name is Ye Ye, and the master calls me Ye Zi!" It turned out that the cat was the one that fell from the roof of the mourning hall that day.I don't know if it was unintentional or intentional that Ye Ye's life was saved!
Meow~meow~ The cat meowed twice, and gently scratched Ye Ye's trousers with its left front claw, signaling for him to follow it.Ye Ye, with a smirk, followed the cat into Lao Wu's bedroom, and then the cat jumped onto the bed.

"Hey, what do you want me to do here? This is the place where the master used to sleep. The master may come back to sleep, let's go out to play!" Ye Ye was brought to Lao Wu's bedroom by the cat, and he inevitably fell in love with the scene. The cat that jumped on the bed was taken out.

However, the cat didn't obey Ye Ye's words and left. Que jumped onto the cabinet and grabbed the paintings on the wall with its paws.

Ye Ye hurriedly said, "Don't scratch that painting, the master likes it very much." But just after finishing speaking, the cat had already grabbed the painting.Ye Ye hurried to pick it up, and then gently patted the dust on it.Then, when I looked up, I suddenly saw that there was a hidden compartment behind the original hanging painting!Inside was a black jade box.

Ye Ye curiously put down the painting and took out the box.The box is small, but the weight is not small. 13-year-old Ye Ye took the box down with great difficulty and put it on the table, while the cat squatted beside the box, looking at Ye Ye and the box!
The box was opened, and inside contained a red bead, a book, and a strange dagger.As soon as the box was opened, the cat grabbed the little red bead, put it in its mouth and swallowed it.After swallowing it, he ran out immediately.

Ye Ye took out the dagger, looked at it, smiled fondly, and put it aside.Taking out the book, the words on the cover are not difficult, Ye Ye can recognize them.It was written in bronzing characters: Yemen Sutra!
It's strange, Ye Ye himself can read and write, but he just can't remember why he can read and write.
Taking the book to a place where the light was two o'clock, Ye Ye turned to the first page, which read: Night drive corpses, day drive sleep!Make couplets in front of the door at Zishi.Burn the spirits, rooster head!Yumen tour inside Zhenshimen!Thousands of gold quilts, ten thousand gold cottons, night gate sleep safe year.

Not understanding at all, with incomparable curiosity, Ye Ye turned the page again.On the second page, there is a picture drawn on it, which shows a person ringing a bell in front of him, and behind him are several people with their hands stiffly raised in front of their chests.But at the end, there was a person who was drinking and slowly following behind.

This is no ordinary painting, this is the scene of the corpse chaser!

With doubts, Ye Ye looked at the text below the painting: The Yemen people, originally a branch of the corpse exorcisers, sat at the gate of Yizhuang at night and suppressed corpses with shochu and roosters.Afterwards, they were separated from the corpse exorcisers and formed a new category called Yemen.

During the Zengfeng period, it was often used as the royal night watch gate or tomb guard.After that, he no longer ran around day and night to follow Yemen, the head of the corpse exorcist.Our door proves that it is the red blood snake bead, the second bead, one of the blood relics transformed by a generation of eminent monks, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits!

Ye Ye seemed to understand.Then another page was turned!
It seems that another person wrote it.The handwriting has changed, but the content still changes!Still guarding the imperial tomb for the dynasty.

Then, I turned a few more pages, and it seemed that the author of this book was constantly changing.

Ye Ye, turned a few pages and suddenly saw a beautiful handwriting that wrote: I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Yemen. The disciples of the sect broke the corpse mirror while guarding the imperial tomb, which caused the corpse of the imperial tomb to change, causing not too much trouble. Afterwards, Although with the help of all the Huangshan Taoist sects, he was able to bury the corpse, but the imperial dynasty killed nine clans in a row!I was lucky enough to escape, and I was able to escape until Yemen fell, and I was picked up on the shoulders of a useless girl like me.I am really ashamed of my ancestors!
Still can't understand, Yeye only knows that the gatekeeper is called Yemen!Just lost.

In the following text, I began to no longer believe that after death, people will become zombies, and I no longer believe that there will be ghosts in this world!
Ye Ye flipped through a few pages, suddenly felt bored, threw the book aside, and started to play with the dagger. It was a very sharp dagger, but it had a strange shape. Its blade was not straight like ordinary daggers, but curved curvilinear.Opening on both sides, it is engraved with reliefs that look like characters but also like patterns.The head is pointed, but other places are indeed square!Ye Ye played with the dagger, and was accidentally cut. In a lifetime of pain, he sent his hand away. The sharp head of the dagger was directly inserted into the book on the table.

Ye Ye bit his finger and pulled out the dagger, but inadvertently saw that there was an interlayer where the dagger was inserted!Driven by curiosity, Ye Ye gently cut open the surface layer of the book with a dagger, and a piece of paper appeared inside!
