Chapter 826: Liu Jiatunzi
After the five camouflage orbs were used, the five members of the White Phoenix team, including Cecilia, all became ghostly, and their bodies became much hazy.
Even teammates, looking at each other, can't see faces clearly, only hazy figures. When I walked, I couldn't see the movement of my legs and feet under the shadow of ghosts, like ghosts floating around.
"Let's go inside. Bai Xiaowen said, "The danger level in Huaiwang Village may be much higher than that in the periphery, everyone walks together after entering, don't get separated." ”
The teammates nodded at the same time, and the five mermaids entered the dense fog area.
Sure enough, Bai Xiaowen's guess was right, when he had the disguise of a ghost-like spirit body, the ghost qi in the dense fog area would no longer cause a loss of health or spiritual power.
As she walked, Li Shuyi suddenly said, "Is there a feeling of weightlessness? ”
Lee is a melee expert who is sensitive to the slightest changes in her body.
"Seems so, yes. Cecilia also confirmed this.
"Keep walking, and don't look back, no matter what the odds are. Bai Xiaowen said.
The five of them continued to move forward, and the feeling of their bodies becoming lighter became more and more obvious, and Han Xu could clearly feel it in the back.
I don't know how long I walked, but the outline of the village loomed in front of me, but under the thick fog, there seemed to be a dim light curtain that enveloped the entire village.
On this layer of dim light curtain, some abstract images of human faces flashed from time to time, which looked extremely weird. It didn't seem like the light curtain was protecting the village, but rather a prison of confinement.
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand to summon a summoned creature and touched the light curtain. In an instant, the summoned creature disappeared, but Bai Xiaowen could still feel the connection with the other party.
"Safety, this light curtain should be allowed to enter but not to exit...... Of course, after entering, as long as you can find the Space Stone and solve the mystery inside, you can come out. Bai Xiaowen said.
The four of them all nodded, although Huaiwang Village was full of weirdness, but at this point, no one was willing to back down.
For the sake of safety, Bai Xiaowen once again sent a skeleton sword and shield hand inside. The two summoned creatures stared at each other within the light curtain.
"Well, this layer of blocked light curtain doesn't have the effect of spatial dislocation. In other words, the five of us don't have to disperse again. ”
I have to say that this is good news, if the five of them are together, their ability to deal with danger will be improved a lot, and they don't have to worry about any ghosts such as change ghosts to make trouble again.
After stepping into the blockade light curtain together, the five members of the White Phoenix Squad let out a startled sound at the same time.
The weightlessness on the body disappeared, and the ghostly fog that lingered in front of him also faded a lot. In terms of the Awakened's vision, at least the vision is no longer obstructed.
This is the entrance to the village, and you can see a large road ahead, with a cluster of houses on the left and abandoned farmland on the right.
On the left are rows of earthen thatched huts, the view is blocked, and it is difficult to see. However, the farmland on the right is relatively open, and occasionally you can see phosphorus fires in the mist, and there seem to be shadows floating around.
"Did you hear anything?" Qiao Rui said suddenly.
In the depths of the village, there seems to be the sound of gongs and drums, but the sound is eerie, intermittent and extremely low, like the background music of a horror movie......
Bai Xiaowen said: "It seems that the ghost bride we are looking for is in the depths of the village, where a wedding is being held. ”
"Ghost wedding?" Li Shuyi shrunk her neck.
"Ghost marriage, this custom is very common in ancient China," Bai Xiaowen led the team forward while doing popular science for his teammates, "Ghost marriage, also known as ghost marriage, ghost marriage, is a ritual for parents to engage their children who died young, so that they will not feel lonely under the nine springs. ”
"The houses in the village always feel very depressing. Do you think this row of houses looks like a mausoleum?" Qiao Rui said suddenly, she walked to the door of a house and pointed to a sign erected in front of the door: "This says No. 3, Group 7, Liujiatunzi...... It's supposed to be a house number, but I think it looks like a tombstone. ”
"Isn't Liujiatunzi called Huaiwang Village?" Li Shuyi said.
"Probably the name of the village before the accident. ”
Bai Xiaowen walked over, took a closer look at the tombstone-like door number, squinted his eyes and said, "This line of words gives me an additional piece of information, the background of the era where Liu Jiatunzi is located...... I'm afraid it's modern, and it's in simplified characters instead of traditional characters. ”
Historically, the reform of simplified Chinese characters in China began in the mid-50s of the 20th century. It has developed to the point that the house numbers of every household are in simplified Chinese, and it should be pushed back at least one or two decades.
Considering that the Psionic Era began in 2021, and referring to the economic backwardness reflected in the relatively dilapidated earthen walls and thatched house buildings of Huaiwang Village, it is likely that the era background here is between the 70s and 90s of the 20th century. Of course, it is not excluded that some extremely remote villages will remain poor after the 21st century, although it is proportionally less likely.
Bai Xiaowen and his entourage followed the direction from which the gongs and drums came and walked towards the village.
Suddenly, two shadows "floated" across the road.
"Is it a ghost?" In the team channel, Li Shuyi was a little nervous, "Do you want to kill them?" ”
"Don't worry. Bai Xiaowen said.
The five of them passed by the two shadows. The two shadows of suspected ghosts did not show a tendency to attack, but kept staring at the five people when they passed by, which was exactly the same as the villagers in the remote area seeing strange outsiders.
"We have ghosts in disguise, and those two ghosts should have treated us as their kind. ”
Bai Xiaowen said: "Entering here, our main goal is to find the ghost bride, mainly to find clues and solve puzzles. Try not to fight unless necessary. ”
When I passed by the door of a house, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the earthen wall, and a few pages flew over in rolls.
Bai Xiaowen picked up the page with his hand, and it was full of handwriting.
"On February 7th, the weather was fine. ”
"My childhood memories have yellowed, and I can only restore a small outline of that crazy era. ”
"Since our family was sent to this place called Liujia Tunzi, it seems to be isolated from the world. ”
"Mom's eyes are red all the time. When I asked her where her father was, she wouldn't say. Later I learned that my father was dead, under the torture and humiliation of his students. ”
"My mother's leg is broken, my second sister and I are still young, and my brother earns his work alone, and he can only eat two meals a day. I'm so hungry......"
