Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Nine Night Lights

When the three of us were about to reach the entrance of the village, Liu Shangang pointed to a yard closest to the street light and said to me: "This family has left Dianzi Village since New Year's Eve, and it is said that they have gone to Hubei. But my informant said that just the night before yesterday, he saw someone entering and leaving."

I couldn't help asking: "Where did you get so many informants?"

Liu Shangang laughed twice, but didn't answer me.

There are several haystacks near the entrance to the east end of the village. The three of us hid behind the haystack and watched the street lights.

When I walked towards the haystack, I found that the snow near the haystack was not as thick as other places. It should have been someone who had hidden here before we came here, and those people had crushed the snow here.

Through the gap between the two haystacks, I could clearly see the street light.

To be honest, this lamp is very strange. Not to mention this street light in the whole village, and the lamp poles of the street light are very high. After it is lit at night, I guess several nearby villages can see it. What is even more incomprehensible is that it is already one or two o'clock in the morning, and there are no pedestrians on the roads in the village, but the street light is still on. With its brightness, the three or four families around me probably couldn't sleep well all night.

I looked at Liu Shangang and found that he had become a "sculpture" again, staring motionlessly at the gaps between the haystacks, but he was not staring at the lights, but the village roads illuminated by the lights.

In fact, Liu Shangang could sense my movements. After I looked at him for a while, he turned his face to face me and gave me a questioning look.

I pointed to the light head of the street light. Liu Shangang immediately understood what I meant, took out a goggle from his backpack and handed it to me.

I brought my goggles, and then I followed Liu Shangang's appearance and stared at the lamp.

Just now, when I was more than ten meters away from the street light, I vaguely saw a black air wrapped around the lamp head, but the light was too bright to make people unable to look directly at it, and I couldn't see it in real life.

It was not until I put my goggles on my face to face the light that I realized that what was wrapped around the lamp head was not a black air, but a black shadow. At this time, it was hovering around the lantern. It looked like a human silhouette, but it had an extremely long tail. The tail crossed the night sky and extended to the uninhabited yard at the east end of the village.

I can't feel the yin energy from this shadow, but I can feel a strong chill.

Wang Dapeng is right. When standing under the street light, he will feel that the temperature near the street light is much lower than that in other places.

"Someone came out!" Liu Shangang suddenly poked me with his elbow and said to me in a very low voice.

After that, he called Luo Tai and I to retreat, and until the shadows that were almost impossible to illuminate the street lights, the three of us bent down to watch.

A moment later, I saw a figure turning out from the courtyard wall at the east end of the village. It was too far away and I couldn't see clearly whether it was a man or a woman. I only saw him rushing under the haystack at a very fast speed and lit something similar to a lantern. When the red light lit up in the lantern, I saw the black shadow on the lamp head becoming more intense.

And this time, I could clearly feel the yin energy floating on the lamp head.

Although I don’t know very well what the other person is doing, I know generally that he is infusing the dark shadow on the lamp head.

There is a magic trick in the secret book that my master gave me called "yin scheming", which is specially used to control ghosts. Before performing this technique, you need to drain the yin energy on the ghost's body, then find a fire person with a fate that matches the ghost, take its essence and blood, condense it for a year until the yin energy is cultivated, and then inject this yin energy into the ghost's body. In this way, this ghost can be used by the performer.

However, it is difficult to successfully perform this kind of magic, especially when extracting the yin energy from the ghost, it is easy to destroy the ghost. Moreover, since this magic requires the essence and blood of living people, it is too tainted, so I just took a brief look and didn't study it carefully.

How could there be such a sinister technique in the secret book of the Shuzheng lineage? How could I explain this clearly? Anyway, that book does record such a technique.

No matter what, the technique the other party is using now should be very similar to "yin-blocking technique".

If I remember correctly, the secret book seems to have said that this technique was not created by our ancestors of the Zheng lineage. It was invented by a Taoist surnamed Huang a thousand years ago. At that time, the Taoist surnamed Huang also created a sect called "Yanju Palace". This technique is one of the secret skills of his sect.

Moreover, the ruins of the sect of the Ancient Ju Palace seem to be not far from my hometown.

The people hiding under the haystack waited until the light in the lantern dimmed before getting up and leaving.

When he left, the black shadow hovering on the lamp head had already had a strong yin energy. It gradually got rid of the street lights and floated towards the village.

If I guessed correctly, the black shadow should have gone to Wang Dapeng. Fortunately, Liang Houzai just gave Wang Dapeng a new evil-proof talisman. With such a ghost alone, he could not do anything to Wang Dapeng.

After that we waited in place for a while, until the black shadow floated back, I sent a text message to Wang Dapeng: "Are you okay?"

Wang Dapeng quickly replied to me: "That thing is here again just now, save me."

If you can reply to the text message, it means he is fine. I replied briefly: "Don't look for us lately." Then I turned off the phone.

When the three of us returned to the Poplar Forest, Xian'er and Luo Fei were leaning against each other to keep warm, while Liang Houzai was holding a branch and squatting on the ground to write and draw.

When I passed by Xian'er, I couldn't help but tease her: "Why are you so cold? Are you not a fox demon?"

Xian'er glanced at me: "Why can't I be afraid of the cold? I have no hair on my body!"

After being choked by her for a moment, I immediately didn't know what to say. Luo Fei stood beside Xian'er and looked at me and smiled.

At this time, Liang Houzai stood up and asked me: "How is it? What's going on over there?"

I said, "There are people from the burial sect lurking in the empty room at the east end of the village. They used street lights as a medium to raise a ghost. I think the matter in Dianzi Village can no longer be dragged on like this. Wang Dapeng is now entangled by ghosts every night. Even if he has the protection of the evil talisman, he will not be able to bear it mentally after a long time. In addition, after being delayed for a long time, I am afraid that the people from the burial sect will do more excessive things."

Liang Houzai asked me: "What are you going to do?"

I thought about it and said, "First let Liu Shangang find out the arrangement of the burial sect in the village, and then start to do it. The master told me not to force the sect, so I won't force the sect, and try to separate the people in the sect and defeat them one by one. In addition, I think Wang Dahai may have played a very special role in this matter, and he should also be investigated as clearly as possible."

Liang Houzai touched his chin and nodded: "I think so too. However, the people in the Burial Church are very careful in doing things, and it is not easy to separate them."

I waved my hand to Liang Houzai and said, "Never consider these now. Let's understand their details first. After we figure out their details, we will discuss the specific action plan."

Liang Houzai hesitated for a moment and nodded.

We stayed in the poplar forest until after three o'clock in the morning. During this period, there was no major change in the Qi field in Dianzi Village.

It seems that at present, the Burial Church dares not make too much noise.

Afterwards, Liu Shangang took us back to Wang Dapeng's third uncle's house. After a simple meal, we took the time to rest for a while, while Liu Shangang climbed over the wall again and began to investigate the specific arrangements of the funeral sect in Dianzi Village.

Liu Shangang said that this was his first time to act alone and he had no confidence. In fact, it was not only him, but we were all worried about him, but now there was no other way. One more person would follow him, which would make him more exposed.

All we can do now is to believe him wholeheartedly.

In such worry, I spent about ten hours leaning on the cold earthen kang, and I fell asleep several times during this period, but I couldn’t sleep deeply every time, and I woke up from worry.

Until nightfall, a subtle sound came from the other side of the courtyard wall, and a thin figure fell on the ground. Although the light was very dark, I could only see the general outline of the visitor, but even so, I could still recognize that the figure belonged to Liu Shangang.

The heart that had been hanging for a whole day finally fell down.

Liu Shangang entered the house quickly and approached Liang Houzai and me and said, "I have figured it out clearly. The arrangement of the funeral sect in the village is actually not complicated."

I sat up, raised my chin at Liu Shang, and signaled him to continue.

Xian'er and Luo Fei also came over, and Luo Tai, he also moved a chair and sat next to Liu Shangang.

Several pairs of eyes stared at Liu Shangang at the same time, waiting for him to say the following.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed a little unhappy: "Damn, I've been out for so long, and you won't ask me if I'm in danger after I come back?"

Liang Houzai said: "Aren't you back now? Tell me the key points quickly and don't keep it a secret."

Liu Shangang sighed and muttered: "Do not care about making friends." Then he began to explain the situation in Dianzi Village to us in detail.

Based on his investigation and feedback from several informants, it is now confirmed that the number of members of the funeral sect hidden in Dianzi Village should be between five and eight. There is one in the secret whistle in the southeast and southwest directions of the village, two in the empty room at the east end of the village, and one in Wang Dahai's family, which are five people. If Wang Dahai and the two women who cry at his house every night are also people in the funeral sect, then eight.

Liu Shangang said that among these people, the thick men in Wang Dahai's family, a man and a woman hiding at the east end of the village, should have a Taoist practice. The two people hiding in the secret whistle should be mercenaries, without Taoist practice, but with weapons on their hands.

In addition, Liu Shangang also said that the woman who lives at the east end of the village was thin and was around 25 years old. She was most likely Dong Cuiping, who had appeared in Lungou Mountain.

To be honest, Liu Shangang brought me much more information than I thought. I thought that during the time he went out, he could only figure out the number of disciples of the Burial Cult, but he didn't expect that he could get such specific information.

I asked Liu Shangang: "Have Wang Dahai investigated?"
