After landing, Su Man did not take any action immediately, but looked around.
The village chief's house is bigger than that of other villagers. It is not a mud house, but is built with bricks.
There is a well in the yard, as well as some farming tools such as carts and sleds, but from the snow on them, it can be seen that these things have not been used for a long time.
The room was pitch black, with only the moonlight emitting a hazy glow.
Seeing that there was no one around, Su Man breathed a sigh of relief. She crouched down and walked towards the well.
For some reason, she felt that there was something strange about the well as soon as she saw it.
The well mouth is deep and not a single light can be seen.
This is strange. As the old saying goes, if there is water in a stream with black mud, white rocks and bright water, you will at least be able to see some light.
Just as Su Man was thinking, she suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind her. She squatted down suddenly, and a black shadow jumped over her head.
Is this the village chief?
The village chief at this moment was completely different from during the day. His eyes were red and his face was dull, as if he had lost consciousness.
Su Man suddenly looked up and found that today was another full-moon night. Could it be that something unusual would happen in this village when the yin energy was so strong?
Without time to think about it, the village chief rushed towards Suman again.
Su Man dodged sideways and nimbly put the basket on her back on the village chief's head.
Taking advantage of his brief blindness, Suman picked up a hoe beside her and hit him hard.
With a "bang", the village chief fell to the ground.
Su Man did not approach him immediately. She used a hoe to remove the basket from his head. Seeing that he was indeed unconscious, she breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm afraid this is what Xu Yuan said about the living dead. Wuyou Village has been eroded by Yin energy all year round. If people live in such a place for a long time, the vitality in their bodies will slowly disappear. When the Yin energy is strong, they will be dominated by the Yin energy. I'm afraid there are few living people in Wuyou Village now.
Right now, it's just Wuyou Village. If the dragon vein is really cut off, who knows what kind of bloody storm the capital will have to endure.
...
Although the village chief had been knocked unconscious, Su Man was still worried. She went in to find a rope and tied him up tightly.
Then they dragged him back into the house to prevent him from being discovered too quickly.
After she finished all this, she returned to the yard.
She looked around the house, inside and out. The only place that could be the center of the formation was the well.
Suman also found a long hemp rope in the village chief's house, one end of which was a hook. It seemed that it was prepared for going down into the well.
She fixed one end of the rope outside the well and tied the other end around her waist. Then she held the rope and stepped on the wall of the well, letting out the rope as she went down.
This process was not pleasant. One reason was that the well wall was too slippery, and the other was that the rope kept rubbing against her palms, making them burn with pain.
The rope became longer and longer, and when it was about ten meters long, Suman finally reached the bottom.
It's not as cold here as up there, it's even a little stuffy.
There was soft soil under my feet and dry mud walls around me. It didn't look like a well at all.
As soon as Su Man came down, she started looking for the center of the formation, but the area was so small that she could see the end at a glance.
Could it be that the center of the formation has been moved?
No, she didn't tell anyone about her return, and the villagers were not on guard. Even if Qi Xing had three heads and six arms, he couldn't react so quickly.
Su Man thought divergently, perhaps the center of the formation was here, but she just hadn't discovered it.
Suddenly, an idea came to her, and she immediately squatted on the ground and started digging the soil.
The dirt piled up until she felt something round. The next second, a skull came into view.
Su Man's palms immediately became sticky, and white sweat raised goose bumps all over her body.
Then she discovered that the area under her feet was full of this kind of thing.
No, not just under your feet.
She looked around, wondering how much was hidden here.
Su Man took a deep breath to give her lungs, which were about to explode, a break.
She forced herself to observe, and found that the bones had traces of carvings on them. It seemed to be a talisman.
There are rumors that the human soul is hidden in the skull, and some people even wear skulls.
This is a very yin thing.
With so many of them, it is impossible to destroy them, so we can only find a way to crack them.
The extreme yin must be broken by the extreme yang.
...
Su Man had an idea. Seeing that dawn was approaching, she did not delay any longer and climbed up the rope.
It was daybreak and everything around looked foggy.
When Suman entered the house to put down the rope, the village chief had already fallen into a deep sleep and was even snoring slightly.
Thinking of the village chief's dazed look last night, Su Man suddenly had a bold idea.
Perhaps he was not conscious when the village chief went crazy at night.
Therefore, as long as she concealed her presence, the village chief would not notice.
Thinking of this, Su Man untied the rope on the village chief and lifted him onto the kang.
Then she went outside and cleaned up, restoring the outside to its original state.
After doing all this, Suman left the village chief's house and found a secluded place to watch secretly.
Sure enough, the village chief didn't notice anything after waking up, but just went about his own business.
Su Man breathed a sigh of relief and quietly left Wuyou Village.
-
It was already noon when we returned to the Taoist temple. There were many more pilgrims in the temple, all of whom came to pray for blessings before the New Year.
Su Man blended into the crowd and slipped back to the Zen room.
Aunt Liu was waiting inside. Seeing that she was fine, Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss, you are finally back. I was so worried."
