Chapter 356 The Boys of That Time (Twenty-Nine)
A cold wind was blowing all around them, and in the middle of the dog days of summer, the two of them almost froze to death under the shade of the trees.
The purpose of this live broadcast was to allow the guests to experience rural life, so they were not asked to bring too much stuff, and even the accommodations were not particularly well prepared.
They were all basically dilapidated. The only difference was that the top three houses didn't leak, while the bottom three houses did.
Gu Yanjing has always been very lucky. The best room he drew was one that not only didn't leak, but even had a well at the entrance.
Nan Wan'er spent a long time tidying up, and was panting from the heat. She grabbed a cup and went to fetch water from the well to drink.
A pump was installed on the well; a few presses of the handle would draw water. Nan Wan'er took a cup, filled it, and was about to drink it.
Xuan Yu came out and immediately stopped them.
"Don't drink it."
Nan Wan'er was startled. Before she could even drink the water, she was so frightened that she choked and coughed violently a few times.
"Don't drink this water, it smells of death." Xuan Yu stepped forward, snatched the water from Nan Wan'er, and poured half a cup of it out. After examining it carefully, his expression turned grim.
"What corpse energy?" Nan Wan'er calmed her cough and looked at her cup in horror.
Oh no, my most beloved cup is dirty.
"It's the poisonous gas from the dead. People infected with corpse gas, in today's easy-to-understand terms, will turn into zombies like those in movies, completely devoid of consciousness, like walking corpses."
Xuan Yu glanced at the camera lens, considered his words carefully, and then spoke.
Did I look cool in that shot? Did I sound pretentious when I was talking?
Off-camera, the people who had just drunk well water, who had been sweltering in the heat, instantly looked pale.
They also brought bottled water, but the well water was ice-cold in the summer and very refreshing, so they drank it directly to cool off.
Those who hadn't drunk it breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then why is there corpse energy in the water?" Nan Wan'er followed up on Xuan Yu's question.
She understood that this was a hot topic and might even trend on social media.
“Someone died in this well, and the resentment was too strong. The soul could not enter the cycle of reincarnation and turned into a vengeful ghost. This house has been uninhabited for too long, and the yin is dominant and the yang is weak, which has become a situation of raising ghosts. This is not easy to deal with.”
Xuan Yu looked at the well, sighed, and tried to wave his hand over it.
In an instant, a sharp cry came from the well, as if something was about to break free from the well.
Xuan Yu shook his Taoist robe and took out a yellow talisman, sticking it on the well.
“My cultivation is low and I do not know the way of salvation. I can only temporarily seal the evil spirit in the well with yellow talismans, but I cannot get rid of it. I am afraid I will have to ask my elders in the sect for help.”
At this moment, the young Taoist priest did not utter a single word of jest; instead, he seemed to be deeply concerned about the plight of the common people.
"By the way, has anyone drunk water from this well? Let me take a look. I don't know much about medicine, so I can only suppress the symptoms for a while. When my elders arrive, I will ask them to treat you."
Xuan Yu also noticed that some people looked unwell, and there were puddles by the well, indicating that someone had already drunk water.
Unfortunately, he was a sword cultivator, and sword cultivators focus on the sword, paying little attention to other things.
For a moment, the atmosphere among the group became very heavy.
A group of ordinary people enter a haunted house. Can you imagine how heavy that would feel?
Gu Yanjing was also thirsty. He had eaten too much jackfruit at noon, and the weather was hot, so he was a little feverish.
The production team is ruthless; they won't even provide a bottle of water, and they didn't even find a mineral water sponsor. They had already finished the water they brought, and Gu Yanjing felt like his throat was on fire.
