Reborn Spirit Master

Chapter 98
The next day, Su Cangyue wanted to see Old Man Jiang all the time, and asked him about Mulan Village and Blue Beard, as well as about the treasure.

She had already discussed with Zhao Dong that the treasure should not be moved, and the food was too hot to eat. If she insisted on eating it, she would die for money.

But the old man Jiang never showed up, only Jiang Erlang came to chat with them from time to time.Asked about his father, Jiang Erlang only said that his father is busy with Qingling, and he will see him tomorrow night.

On November 22nd, the lunar calendar is September [-], seven o'clock in the evening, an auspicious day, and in the words of the Tujia people, it is the day when the goddess opens her eyes.

Xishan is very close to the village, Su Cangyue and his party of 36 people walked to the foot of the mountain in 10 minutes under the leadership of old man Jiang.

Among the 36 people, 33 were dressed in the most solemn Tujia costumes and held various sacrificial utensils in their hands.

Su Cangyue and Zhao Dong were wearing casual camouflage uniforms for easy movement, but at the request of old man Jiang, Su Cangyue put on a white robe over the camouflage uniforms.

In the dark night, a man in a white robe held an octagonal drum in his hand, walking quietly as if floating on the ground.

Zhao Dong followed closely behind him with a huge backpack on his back. Inside the bag were the important things they brought out this time.Two days ago, Alan came to warn him that he had prepared for the worst and was ready to leave at any time.

In addition to her, there was another person in a white robe in the team, the half-baked Tima Alang.The young man held a sword and a bell in his hand, with a solemn expression, like a teacher of Tu.

A group of people walked quietly in the mountains and forests on a moonless night. There were two white shadows in the team, and a tall black shadow beside one of the white shadows followed suit, looking around vigilantly from time to time.

"Dongzi, are you ready?" She couldn't help asking in a low voice, and if she didn't speak, she would become more and more nervous.

"Well, I can leave anytime." Zhao Dong was still looking around. He was also a little uneasy tonight, feeling that things would not go well at night.This military intuition, honed in life and death, had saved him many times before.

"Asu, is the cup you mentioned really that powerful?"

Zhao Dong asked in a very low voice. Before he came out, Su Cangyue repeatedly told him that if something unexpected happened tonight, let him ensure Alang's safety, because he needed to relieve the cup on his body.

"I've seen it with my own eyes before. You just need to remember to keep him safe, and don't let him have an accident!"

Su Cangyue didn't want to talk about it, because it was a matter of her previous life. She and Teacher Li Muxue came to Xiangxi for business, and her colleagues offended an old Miao woman somehow, and she was tricked. It took a lot of twists and turns to heal, but the body also collapsed.

"Well, I see."

After the procession entered the mountain, the old man Jiang sang an ancient sacrificial song, and other people in the procession sprinkled yellow paper money on both sides.

Every time he walked a certain distance, Alang would shake the bell in his hand. The crisp ringtones of ancient songs wandered among the moonless mountains, and the atmosphere was eerie and strange.

Half an hour after setting off, a group of people approached the mountainside, and there was the sound of running water ahead, and the air became humid.

Looks like it's almost there.

Su Cangyue remembers that there are records about this river in the data. This river is a surface river in Guizhou. It turns underground in the Wuling Mountains, and then turns out of the surface in western Hunan. The water system has a very large reserve, and the Tujia people call it For Yuanshui.

The further up the mountain, the louder the sound of the water, the more nervous Su Cangyue felt. She always had the feeling of being secretly watched, as if there were some ferocious beasts lurking in the mountains and would come out to do something fierce at any time.

A burst of water vapor rushed towards Su Cangyue's hair, and the team stopped.She looked up, and saw a big hole on the opposite mountain wall, a white waterfall poured out of the hole, forming a rushing river to block everyone.The river is more than 20 meters wide, and the water is very fast. Seeing that there are no ferry boats nearby, if their spiritual cave is on the top of the cliff opposite, I don't know how to get there.

At this time, the moon finally rose from the east mountain. With the light of the waning moon, Su Cangyue saw that there was a cliff near the waterfall on the opposite side, and there was a zigzag path on the cliff, circling upwards.At the top of the cliff, there is a faint hole.

The middle-aged man named Sanzi walked to the side of the road and pulled a wooden stake. Amidst the rattling sound, a black strip rose from the river.

Su Cangyue's eyesight is detached, and she can clearly see that it is an iron chain.

Jiang Erlang came over, "Teacher Wang Su, we are going to use the zipline to go to the opposite side, are you okay?"

Zhao Dong walked over immediately: "Asu, shall I take you?"

"No need." Su Cangyue shook her head and refused: "This kind of river crossing tool is lighter and safer, so let's go separately!"

At this time, the third son had fixed the zipline and started to cross the river.Half a minute later, he arrived on the opposite side, worked for a while, and sent a signal to this side, and the team began to cross the river.

When it was Zhao Dong's turn, his movements were very skillful, and it only took half a minute from fixing the noose to reaching the opposite bank.Su Cangyue noticed that Jiang Erlang's expression was a bit subtle, probably because he had some thoughts about Zhao Dong's skills.

When Su Cangyue crossed the river, Alang stepped forward to help her fix the noose, but she didn't show any proficiency, and stopped and walked to the opposite bank.Zhao Dong stepped forward to help her untie the rope and helped her down. The two walked to one side and communicated with gestures for a while.

They were very well prepared, but they didn't consider that this is a cable bridge. If an accident happens, the cable bridge will not be able to go, and they will have to find another way.The two discussed for a while, and decided that if something happened, they would go around from the other side of the mountain.

The spiritual cave is indeed on the top of the cliff. The zigzag path is only [-] centimeters wide, and it is very difficult to walk. Fortunately, there is an iron chain for the handrail every one meter on the cliff beside the road. Su Cangyue pulled it while walking. The iron chain barely reached the top of the cliff, and the rust was wiped off with one hand. I don't know how long it has been since no one came to the spiritual cave.

After the team gathered at the top of the cliff, the sound of the water below has become quieter. If you want to talk, you can still hear it if you shout louder.But none of the people in Jiangcun opened their mouths to speak. Instead, they laid out paper money at the entrance of the cave and began to burn it.

Alang walked to the front and stood quietly at the entrance of the cave, holding the sword across his chest in his right hand, and shaking the bell rhythmically in his left hand.

"Jingle - jingle -"

Su Cangyue looked at his back and suddenly wanted to laugh.

The Tumiao family in western Hunan is best at the art of witchcraft, just like Chushu is also a kind of advanced witchcraft, there are many wonderful methods in it, such as training corpses, driving corpses, raising cups, and pouring cups.What these Wu Cup masters hate the most is people from the Taoist sect, such as the Maoshan Taoist priests in Jiangxi.

But looking at Alang's posture now, he doesn't look like a witchcraft master, but like a Taoist priest practicing magic.

The ringing of the bell continued, and the moon slowly rose into the sky. The moment the entrance of the spiritual cave was illuminated by the moonlight, there was a sound of crying and sighing in the cave.

"Woo-cry--"

A gust of wind blew out from the cave, the white robe on Su Cangyue's body fluttered, and she felt a bone-chilling chill.She pulled the white robe subconsciously, feeling a chill in her heart. Could it be that the ancestors of Jiangcun inside knew that the descendants came to Qingling, and woke up?

As his shoulders warmed up, Zhao Dong's voice rang in his ears: "Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in this world. It should be the sound of water flowing just now, I've heard it before."

Su Cangyue looked back and saw his hands were on her shoulders, and his eyes were shining under the moonlight.She smiled at him, and looked back at the entrance of the cave, only to see that Alang had already walked in, and immediately followed him quickly.

During the whole process of clearing the spirit, she and Alang were the same as Tima, a land family, and they also needed Alang to help him undo the poison, so they had to stay by his side at night.

Inside the entrance of the cave was a passage, the light was very dim, and the end could not be seen, only a young man in a white robe was floating in front of him, and the two quickened their pace to catch up.

After the two walked to A Lang's side, Su Cangyue found that the others did not follow, she secretly raised her vigilance, and asked softly, "A Lang, why didn't your grandfather come in?"

"The spiritual cave hasn't been opened for several years, and it's a bit filthy inside. Grandpa and the others can't stand it. I'll go in and open the Ming door first." Alang looked back at her: "Sister Asu, you don't have to come in. When the Ming door opens, the inside will be opened." It's clean, and you can come back when the time comes!"

Zhao Dong couldn't help asking: "Alang, why aren't you afraid?"

"I am the body of a ghost, so I am not afraid of filth."

"What is a ghostly body?" Su Cangyue was also curious. She usually worked hard to gather vitality to cultivate her own spiritual body, but she had never heard of a ghostly body.

"Our Tujia Tima is born with a Yin spirit body, just like most of the Miao family's shamans are Yang spirit bodies, and they are all passed down from their ancestors." Alang paused here: "However, they It has been a long time since the body of the sun spirit appeared."

"them?"

Su Cangyue was about to ask who they were referring to, when she saw a stone gate in front of her, with a beast-shaped totem on it.Alan stopped in front of the totem, looked into the totem's eyes with a serious expression, and spit out a strange note from his mouth, as if communicating with someone.

Zhao Dong stretched out his hand to grab her, motioning her to stop and watch.

The young man said a few words, then started to ring the copper bell again, the ringtone was a little faster than before, matched with the strange syllables he uttered from time to time, it really looked like Tima worshiping the gods.

Su Cangyue looked at the stone gate, and on a whim, used a perspective, but only saw a piece of chaotic rock. It seemed that the thickness of the gate was more than ten centimeters.

A Lang's bell was still ringing, Su Cangyue simply closed her eyes, and slowly released her perception. The moment she touched the stone door, a pair of green eyes on the door suddenly opened, and the energy rebounded!
"Hey, unknown energy has invaded, and the host's spiritual protection is activated! Ten blocks of spiritual energy are consumed."

Su Cangyue took a step back and opened her eyes pale.Shimen is still the same, everything just now seems to be just an illusion.

As soon as his arm warmed up, Zhao Dong stretched out his hand to support her: "Asu, what's wrong?"

Su Cangyue shook her head, did not speak, carefully felt the cool breath from her wrist, and soon, the discomfort just now disappeared, and her complexion returned to normal.

At this time, Alang raised his right hand and pressed the totem on the stone gate, and there was another sound of crying and sighing, and the stone gate slowly rose up, and the Ming gate was about to open.
