Chapter 235 Going to Yujia Village Again
Chapter 235 Going to Yujia Village Again
"Maybe we'll have news about the situation in Yujia Village in a few days. Our most urgent task is to wait until tomorrow to hear what mission Elder Gao has."
Tian Lin had no intention of talking about this matter. He had eaten the Shuiling rice and took the Fengtu Pill as usual to practice the Fengtu Jue.
There was no conversation that night until noon the following day when he, Zhou Jin and the other two said goodbye to Old Man Ran.
Not long after the three men left, Old Man Ran’s uncle arrived almost immediately.
His uncle, wearing mourning clothes, said to Old Man Ran in a mournful tone, "Nephew, I'll have to ask you to go to Yujia Village again this time."
Old Man Ran looked at the new mourning clothes on Old Man Yu and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Uncle, what's this? Did something happen to my aunt?"
Old Man Yu wiped his tears and said:
"Not only your aunt had an accident, Xiaodang and Xiaoling in the family also had an accident. Not only my family, but all the women in the entire Yujia Village died overnight."
-
"What does Elder Gao mean by this? She asked us to come here today to accept the mission. We are all here, but she still refuses to show up."
On the deck, the fat man, who was already impatiently waiting, said something.
It was only because Elder Gao was not around that he dared to grumble. But he only grumbled this one sentence and didn't dare to complain anymore.
"It's getting dark soon. Where do you think Elder Gao will go?"
Zhou Jin asked Tian Lin in secret, but Tian Lin could only shake his head: "We can only wait until Senior Sister Zhou asks Senior Sister Bai and see how Senior Sister Bai answers."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, Zhou Mengjiao and several female disciples came down from the attic of the ship.
Several male disciples came forward and each surrounded a female disciple and asked him questions.
At this time, Zhou Mengjiao and Zhang Rou also walked to Zhou Jin's side and said to Zhou Jin and Tian Lin:
"Senior Sister Bai said that she has been sleeping in the attic all this time and has never seen Elder Gao."
Tian Lin interrupted and said, "Senior Sister Bai is in the middle stage of foundation building. Is her injury serious? Otherwise, why is she so sleepy?"
Zhou Mengjiao also frowned, obviously finding it a little unbelievable.
She thought about it and said something to Zhou Jin in secret.
Zhou Jin also frowned after hearing what she said, but unfortunately, because Zhou Mengjiao only spoke in secret to Zhou Jin, Tian Lin didn't know what she said.
At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Elder Gao is here."
Everyone on the deck looked in the direction of the sound and saw Elder Gao and an old man appear together.
Zhou Jin and Tian Lin's faces changed slightly. Others could not recognize the old man, but Tian Lin and Zhou Jin had seen him before.
The old man was none other than the elder of Xiangxi Sect who had stopped Elder Gao from snatching the red coffin that day.
Elder Gao introduced to the disciples: "This is Elder Fang from the Xiangxi Sect. Have you met Elder Fang yet?"
When the disciples were performing the ceremony, the elder said, "The Xiangxi Sect and the Wendao Sect have a thousand-year-old friendship. We are all from the same sect, so please don't be polite."
At this time, Elder Gao took over and revealed the reason for her late arrival:
"It happened suddenly. I originally wanted you to continue catching zombies to complete the mission. But at noon today, I was invited by Elder Fang to go to Yujia Village--"
Others were not clear about Yujia Village, but Zhou Jin and his three companions knew it very well, especially Tian Lin.
At this time, Zhou Mengjiao, Zhou Jin and even Zhang Rou all glanced at Tian Lin.
Tian Lin looked calm, but he felt that there was something strange about the matter.
It’s a coincidence, indeed.
Just as I went to Yujia Village, Elder Gao also went to Yujia Village.
"There is an evil spirit in Yu Village right now, and Elder Fang invited me to go with him to send the spirit away. But this requires the help of all the disciples - so this sending-off-the-spirit activity is the monthly exam you've been waiting for."
"A send-off activity? Which god is being sent?"
Senior Brother Changxue stepped forward at this time and said:
"Sending off a deity is not a difficult thing to do, but the deity in Yujia Village is so easy to send off, why doesn't Yujia Village send off the deity itself?"
Except for Tian Lin, who had only been exposed to funeral studies for a month, the rest of the people present were from noble families in the Northern Wilderness. They all knew a lot about inviting and sending off gods.
Everyone looked at Elder Gao, wanting to hear his explanation.
"It just so happened that Yujia Village had invited two gods. Yujia Village violated the taboos of the two gods, and all the villagers died overnight."
Elder Gao said: "Yujia Village is far away from the Xiangxi Sect. Elder Fang thought we were nearby, so he asked us to help.
He has already asked the peak master of the Daoist Sect and others about this matter. The Daoist Sect's elders also think that helping a friendly sect is part of my sect's responsibility as a disciple, so they all agreed."
Elder Gao would not lie, but Yujia Village was far away from Xiangxi Sect, so the reason for seeking help from a nearby friendly sect was somewhat untenable.
There may be some conflict of interest involved, but since all the elders who teach martial arts in the sect have agreed to it, it doesn't seem dangerous.
"However, sending off the gods requires something like paper figures, and we don't have such items."
After Senior Brother Changxue finished speaking, Elder Gao said in a cold voice: "Why do you need to talk about this? Elder Fang is an elder of the Xiangxi Sect, would he be short of these things?"
Everyone was silent, and Elder Gao You said to Elder Fang: "Then, shall we go to Yu Village now?"
Elder Fang nodded: "This matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. If the two evil gods cannot be sent away as soon as possible, it will be difficult for the mass grave to be peaceful in the future." Elder Gao drove the ship and finally arrived above Yujia Village. Elder Gao said:
"All disciples, come with me. As for Wang Ran, let her stay on the boat to recover from her injuries."
The disciples looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what illness Wang Ran had contracted in the past two days.
Logically speaking, although Senior Brother Xue's resurrection from the dead caused her to inhale some corpse poison, how could just inhaling a little corpse poison cause such serious sequelae?
But now is not the time to talk about these things. Besides, Elder Gao is an elder after all, and it is not easy for everyone to question her.
Seeing Senior Brother Changxue taking the lead in jumping off the boat with a sword, everyone followed suit.
It was already dark by this time, and Yujia Village was dead silent.
Looking at the dark village, Tian Lin's expression was somewhat solemn.
Zhou Jin knew that Tian Lin had been to Yujia Village, so he followed Tian Lin closely. After noticing Tian Lin's expression, he asked, "How is it? Is there anything wrong?"
Tian Lin shook his head, and several people waited quietly at the entrance of the village for other disciples to gather.
"Such a strong smell of blood, such a heavy yin energy."
Zhang Rou also came to Tian Lin's side and frowned:
“There are probably at least several thousand people in Yujia Village. If it were just an ordinary evil spirit, there wouldn’t be such a strong smell of blood.
And what's going on with this vague resentment?"
After she finished speaking, Elder Gao's voice rang out:
"The most urgent task now is to eliminate the wandering souls and night-wandering gods inside. Elder Gao and I will set up an array outside to trap the evil spirits and evil spirits inside. After you enter the village, don't go to the Niangniang Temple in the south of the village. Elder Fang and I will take action there later."
The disciples did not stay long. They took out their flying swords and magic weapons and entered the village.
What Tian Linzhen saw was wandering souls everywhere.
There are many night-wandering gods here, but the disciples of the Wending Sect present are not ordinary disciples in the middle stage of foundation building.
Several wandering souls and night-wandering gods that blocked the road were quickly eliminated by the disciples.
"These people don't wear the same clothes. What's the explanation?"
After killing some evil spirits, Zhang Rou couldn't help but say something.
Tian Lin thought for a moment and said, "These wandering souls are not all from Yujia Village. I have seen all the men in Yujia Village, and most of them here are strangers."
"So, it was that unknown god who brought these wandering souls?"
This matter is really difficult to confirm, so Tian Lin is not sure about it.
At this time, the senior brother in front spoke:
"We need to spread out. Otherwise, with so many wandering spirits and evil spirits, and so many zombies and dead bodies, when will we be able to get rid of them all?"
"Even if we have to disperse, we can't act alone. Putting aside whether we can send the gods away, the most important thing is our own safety."
Senior Brother Changxue nodded and accepted what one of the students said. You simply said:
"Then form teams of two and go door to door to deal with the wandering souls and corpses inside. Make sure not a single one is missed, so as to avoid any accidents when sending the gods away."
Zhou Jin glanced at Tian Lin and said with a smile, "It looks like we brothers can fight the zombies together again."
Zhang Rou asked Tian Lin and Zhou Jin, "Where do you plan to start the search?"
Tian Lin pointed to the west end of the village and said, "That's Old Man Ran's uncle's house. I plan to go there and take a look."
Zhang Rou said to Zhou Mengjiao, "Then let's start the search from the west end of the village."
The four of them set out together and soon arrived at the west end of the village.
The sound of a baby crying suddenly sounded in Old Man Yu's house, and Zhou Jin and others' faces changed.
Zhou Jin couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that there is still a baby alive in Ran Daoyou's uncle's family?"
Tian Lin shook his head and said, "Although Fellow Daoist Yu has children at home, they are already seven or eight years old, so they probably don't have any babies.
Besides, the sound of babies crying is not only heard in Daoist Friend Yu’s house. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of babies crying in every household.”
A few people looked in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, there were babies crying everywhere. They seemed to be surrounded by the sound of babies crying.
"It's the ghost baby - the unknown god invited by the Yu family. It looks a little unusual."
Zhou Jin was worried about Zhou Mengjiao at this time, and said:
"Senior Brother Changxue wants us to team up in pairs. This may seem to improve efficiency, but it is actually very dangerous. It is better for you two to come with us—"
Zhang Rou also said, "Yes! It would be great if we could send off the gods, but it would be helpless if we couldn't. This is the territory of Xiangxi Sect, and any trouble would be a headache for Xiangxi Sect. This is also the territory of Elder Fang, so there's no reason for us to take risks for him."
Zhou Mengjiao didn't want to separate either, so the four of them opened the door of Old Man Yu's house together.
As soon as the door opened, the scene in the yard made everyone present feel numb.
In the yard, there were a dozen babies with blood-stained red eyes and canine teeth, some crawling by the well, some lying on the wall, and some hanging on the door.
All pairs of eyes looked at everyone present.
