Chapter 788 Sneaking into the Xu Family

"Oh shit!"

Xu Nian exclaimed, his eyes wide open, and he shouted in astonishment: "You, you can actually fly? Why do you have a pair of wings on your back? Could it be that you are the legendary...bird man?"

Oh my god!

After hearing Xu Nian's words, I stumbled and almost fell from the air. I thought to myself that you are the bird man, and your whole family is bird people...

More than ten minutes later, Xu Nian and I landed safely at the entrance of the village. I frowned as I looked at the dark and silent village, and whispered: "Is your village so quiet every day?"

"It's about the same. It's actually quite lively at night, but it's quiet during the day. In the whole village, let alone people, you can't even see a dog." Xu Nian shrugged nonchalantly, then looked at me and asked, "The well is at the other end of the village, how about we... fly over there?"

Seeing that I looked at him with a strange expression, he grinned and said, "I just feel that flying is quite cool, and it would be cooler for us to fly over there than to walk there, wouldn't it?"

"Don't talk nonsense, lead the way." I patted his head, he tilted his head to avoid it, and then took the wooden sword and walked quickly into the village.

Compared with our village, this Xu Village is not that big, and the population should be only about half of our village, but in terms of evil, this village is much more evil than our village.

"It seems that Xie Tianxiang is not in the village. If he is, I walked in so ostentatiously, and Xie Tianxiang would not have been absent all the time. But, if he is not in the village, where would he be?"

I followed behind Xu Nian, turning my head to look around, thinking secretly in my heart.

A few minutes later, Xu Nian and I passed by the gate of Xu's house again, but the living dead lined up in front of the gate were gone. I didn't know whether they entered the Xu's mansion or left.

"Can all the dead people in your village be resurrected?" I looked at the dark Xu's mansion and asked softly.

Hearing this, Xu Nian shook his head and said, "No, some people did not come back to life after committing suicide. Some people need a long time to come back to life, but some people come back to life very quickly. No one knows the specific reason, and Master Xu doesn't tell me."

After hearing what Xu Nian said, I frowned and thought that Master Xu seemed to be not very skilled. He only had an evil method to bring people back to life, but because of his lack of skills, the success rate was not high.

"What do these people need to prepare before committing suicide?" I asked again.

Xu Nian shook his head and said, "There is no need to prepare anything. Master Xu gave each household an altar. The altar seems to be filled with asparagus oil. Before committing suicide, just smear the asparagus oil all over your body."

The asparagus oil that Xu Nian mentioned should be corpse oil. These people smeared the oil all over their bodies before committing suicide. On the one hand, they could seal the three souls and seven spirits in the corpse. This is actually similar to the method of making a zombie. I even suspect that the evil method mastered by Master Xu should be the method of making a zombie. It's just that he probably didn't learn it all, or it was too long ago, so the method passed down in their family is not complete.

Secondly, it can deceive the eyes of the ghost, making the ghost think that this is a corpse that has been dead for a long time, and the soul has already entered the underworld.

However, it seems that this method sometimes does not work. The reason why some people cannot be resurrected from the dead may be that they cannot pass the test of the ghost, and their three souls and seven spirits have been taken away by the ghost.

However, just applying corpse oil cannot achieve the effect of resurrection, so I am sure that after these people committed suicide, Master Xu must have done something, such as drawing soul-awakening talismans on these corpses to awaken these dead souls, or opening an altar to perform rituals.

"When do these people usually wake up? Are they resurrected randomly or collectively?"

"Usually it's on the full moon night of each month, but there are also people who resurrect sporadically on weekdays, and the date of suicide must be the first day of each month. These are all said by Master Xu. I don't know the specific reason."

After hearing what Xu Nian said, I nodded, and in my heart, I became more and more certain of my previous guess.

The reason why Master Xu asked everyone to commit suicide on the first day of the month is that he can do it all at once on this day. To put it bluntly, it's a pot of boiling water. Otherwise, there will be people committing suicide every day, one in the morning and two in the afternoon. Wouldn't Master Xu be exhausted to death?

The reason why these people would gather together on the night of the full moon to come back to life is because the yin energy is the heaviest on this day. The evil magic of Master Xu will be greatly enhanced under the blessing of the yin energy.

At this time, Xu Nian and I had already arrived at the village head. Xu Nian pointed to the well in the distance and said, "Look, this is the well."

I looked in the direction of his finger, and then I saw that there was indeed a well in a patch of weeds about ten meters away from me.

However, this well was covered by a huge millstone. I vaguely saw that someone seemed to have painted a blood-red talisman on the millstone.

I quickly came to the well, squatted down, stared at the millstone and looked at it, and found that the talisman painted on the millstone was called the evil-suppressing talisman.

The evil-suppressing talisman is specially used to suppress evil spirits. It is an entry-level talisman. It is not even ranked in the Hinayana talisman method. Even I rarely use this kind of talisman because it is useless. It has no effect when encountering powerful old ghosts. When encountering those lonely ghosts with no Taoist skills, those who can draw the evil-suppressing talisman are basically Taoists, and they don’t need talismans to drive away these lonely ghosts. Therefore, after my master gave it to me, I almost never used it.

Moreover, I don’t know if it’s too long or because of the rain, the traces of this talisman are very faint, and the spiritual energy has long been dissipated and has no effect.

I took a deep breath, then grabbed the millstone and exerted force.

With a bang, the millstone was opened by me. Almost at the moment when the millstone was opened, a strong evil spirit immediately rushed up from the well.

I was startled and took two steps back subconsciously, then looked at the well mouth with a horrified face.

"Such a strong evil spirit, it is almost the same as I guessed, but how did Xie Tianxiang release all the evil spirits accumulated in his body into the well?" I frowned, with a puzzled look on my face.

"Hey, you can actually move this millstone?" Xu Nian looked at me in astonishment, with that expression and demeanor, as if he was looking at a monster.

I smiled and said nothing, then asked him, "Can you feel any difference in the well after the millstone is lifted?"

"Different?" Xu Nian shook his head in confusion, "No."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the well and looked down, but the next second, he froze as if he saw something in the well. A look of horror immediately occupied his eyes, and he looked at the well with eyes wide open and trembling, unable to move.

"What did you see?" I asked with narrowed eyes.

Xu Nian opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. Seeing this, I reached out and patted his back, and he trembled all over, and fell to the ground.

"Huff, huff, huff..." Xu Nian fell to the ground and gasped violently. Even at this moment, he looked serious and terrified.

"What did you see?" I squatted down and asked.

"There seems to be someone in the well!" Xu Nian gulped and swallowed his saliva: "I seem to see a lot of people trying to climb out of the well."

"A lot of people want to climb out?" I frowned.

Xu Nian is an ordinary person, so he can't see the evil spirit rising into the sky, but he can see the scene after the evil spirit materializes, and this scene is very likely to hide information about the evil celestial phenomenon.

However, he saw a lot of people trying to climb out of the well, which is something I didn't expect.

I walked to the well, squinted my eyes and looked into the well, and saw that the well was pitch black and extremely deep. Even for me, I couldn't see the bottom at a glance.

"How can we see so many people climbing out? This is not in line with common sense!" I squinted my eyes, trying to see more clearly, but the well was too dark. If it weren't for the moonlight that illuminated the well water, I might not even be able to see the well water.

I shook my head, then put the millstone back on the well, turned to Xu Nian and said, "The people in your village must have gotten the strange disease after drinking the water in this well. As for the person you just saw, maybe it was just an illusion, or maybe..."

I paused here, and Xu Nian asked, "Maybe what?"

I shook my head and didn't say anything, because at this moment, I was not sure whether what Xu Nian saw was real or an illusion.

Maybe, what Xu Nian saw was the real scene in the well.

"How are you?" I turned to ask Xu Nian, "Can you still walk?"

"I'm fine." Xu Nian shook his head, stood up and stretched his body, and then suddenly said something that shocked me.

"Just now in the well, I seemed to see... my father and my mother!"

This sentence shocked me and my expression changed slightly.

If what Xu Nian saw was the embodiment of evil spirit, then those who climbed out should have no faces. However, Xu Nian actually said that he saw his parents?

How is this possible?

"Could it be that there is some secret hidden in this well?" I turned my head and looked at the well. At this moment, I even had an impulse to jump into the well to find out.

But I know that there are too many secrets hidden in the body of the evil celestial image. This well is very likely related to the secrets of the evil celestial image. Once I enter rashly, I may be trapped inside. It is even possible that this well is a trap set by the evil celestial image. If I enter rashly, the evil celestial image will directly catch the turtle in the jar, which will be very exciting.

"Since Master Xu has sealed this well, he should know something. Should we go ask him?" I touched my nose, then turned to Xu Nian and said, "What kind of person is Master Xu?"

"Master Xu is a very good and kind person, but he is a little old and a little fat, which makes his legs and feet not flexible. Qingqing needs to push him in a special wheelchair when he goes out."

"Who is Qingqing?" I asked,

"You've seen her. She's the girl who opened the door for those zombies before." At this point, Xu Nian blinked at me, but then shook his head with some disappointment and said, "Unfortunately, Qingqing couldn't hold on and committed suicide last year."

"Is Master Xu a living person or a zombie?" I asked again.

"Living people." After Xu Nian finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the night sky, then said: "Hey, what are you doing in our village? Are you here for the immortality of Master Xu? For the sake of the pig's trotter you gave me, tell me the truth, I won't betray you."

After hearing his words, I laughed and said: "I don't think highly of Master Xu's immortality. The reason I came to your village is to find someone, but now it seems that this person should not be in the village. But... it's okay if he is not in the village."

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

The battle between the four elephants is like raising a pig. They will never be soft-handed in the fight between each other. If you are not careful, you may end up dead.

If I can learn more about Xie Tianxiang's secrets while he is not in the village, it will be a great benefit to me. I

took a deep breath and said to Xu Nian, "It's getting late. Go home early. I have something to do. We will meet again if we are lucky enough."

"Are you leaving our village?" Xu Nian was shocked. "You are not here for Master Xu's immortality? How about... you come to my house and sit down?"

I smiled and patted his head, saying, "I will come to see you again if I have the chance."

"Okay then." Xu Nian muttered with a look of disappointment, then got up reluctantly, and walked towards the village while swinging the wooden sword in his hand to chop weeds.

Looking at Xu Nian's lonely back, I couldn't help but sigh.

At Xu Nian's age, he should be running wildly in the mountains with his friends, but unfortunately, most of the people in the village have died, and most of the survivors are sick and have difficulty moving, so he can only wander around the village every day.

Today, he finally met a normal person like me, so it's inevitable that he wants to get close to me.

"If... I can survive the fight with the evil celestial phenomenon, I can take him away. Xu Zhengchun should take him in." I smiled and said to myself, "But even if I die, he should be able to survive well. My blood has seeped into his body. After a few days, he should be able to return to normal." I looked

at Xu Nian's back and muttered to myself. I took a deep breath until Xu Nian's figure completely disappeared in the darkness. Then I flapped my wings and flew quickly towards the Xu family mansion like a bird.

I didn't fly directly into the Xu family mansion, but hid in the darkness and observed for a long time. When I saw that the Xu family mansion was quiet and there was no abnormality, I jumped into the yard and then quickly moved towards the dark Xu family mansion like a ghost.
