Xuanmen boss in the horror game card BUG

Miao Nu fell down on the wooden chair, her face pale.

She was silent for a long time before she spoke: "What you said...is it true?"

"The four are not to deceive, good and evil are against each other," Yan Lan said, "I always abide by the precepts."

[What do you mean, call the boss to popularize science]
[It is the commandment of Taoism: one does not kill, but remembers all living beings.The two are not promiscuous, and the prisoner is a woman.The third is not to steal, to take illicit wealth.The fourth is not to deceive, good and evil are contradictory. ]
[These few rules, isn't she violating the rules? ! ]
[Taoist precepts all have prerequisites. Strictly speaking, Yan Lan has never violated the precepts]
"What you hold in your hand is called 'changing flowers and plants'."

Miao girl said in a low voice: "Because of the ancestral instruction of Donghua Village, each family can only have one boy and one girl, so women who have given birth to one child will go to Gujing to ask for 'exchanging flowers and plants' after being pregnant again.

"One flower and one grass are nourished by the Luoshui in the ancient well. Pregnant women can change the fetus after eating it raw."

"Tire change?" Tu Yu suddenly raised his head, "You say this is a tire change medicine?"

"Yes, as long as you worship Sa Sui devoutly, you can have a girl if you eat the leafless flower, and a boy if you eat the flowerless grass."

"Only by worshiping Sa Sui devoutly can one's wish come true. What is the standard of piety?" Yan Lan poured the cold tea into the flowerpot where the tea leaves had been accumulated, "Only look at the fertility results?"

"No, if you are not devout enough, you will have nightmares after taking 'Huanhuacao', dreaming of Sa Sui."

Miao Nu paused, her voice lowered, with undisguised choking:
"Before I gave birth to my second child, I took fenugreek. I dreamed of Sa Sui God that night. I only remember that he held a fish and said to me: 'No, what I worship is wrong, I am not religious enough.'

"But I don't know what the problem is! I followed the rules of worshiping Sa Sui step by step, and it was a girl again on the day of giving birth...I stopped her, but the elders still took her away..."

"Taken away?" Xuan Mingfeng frowned, "Then do you know what happened to the child after he was taken away?"

Miao Nu wiped her tears and shook her head slowly: "This is something the elders are responsible for, and I don't know.

"I have also inquired with others, and also asked the Great Elder, and he told me..."

[The young bird that enters the wrong nest is a sin, unlucky, and will inevitably lead to disasters, so I purified her and dedicated it to Sa Sui. 】

The kind and majestic old man sighed: [She is with the gods, and even your sin of disrespecting Sa Sui will be atoned, so don't ask any more. 】

"Purge?"

Yan Lan poured a new cup of tea, and smiled when she heard the words:

"Twin shadows are the evil spirits of babies who died prematurely or died tragically because they were too resentful and their souls were unwilling or unable to be reincarnated, so they parasitized in the shadows of their brothers and sisters.

"I mean, your child should have gone, and not peacefully."

Miao Nu opened her mouth, trembling her lips: "No, it's not peaceful?"

"You should have noticed."

Yan Lan took a sip of hot tea to soothe her body and mind, "For example, sister Yao in your village should know a lot more than you, and she is also a mother, so she should give you some information."

"Sister Yao? You mean Ge Miyao?"

"Gie Mi..." Yan Lan put down her teacup, "She has the same surname as your past great elders."

"Yes, she is the daughter of our Great Elder."

Tu Yu was puzzled: "Is that Ah Sheng's mother?"

"Of course not. Although the daughters of Donghua Village will change their husband's surname when they marry, Ge Miyao is Ah Sheng's sister-in-law."

Miao Nu corrected: "A Sheng's mother passed away during childbirth while giving birth to her second child, and that child did not survive, and his father also passed away a year later.

"However, his parents are both weirdos, and the couple insisted on confronting the Great Elder. Back then, they were the ones who helped foreigners enter the village to build some kind of school.

"He also said that the times have changed, the villagers need to learn, girls and boys must learn, they don't approve of being surrounded in the mountains for generations."

Miao Nu sighed a little: "The couple are kind-hearted and generous, and they treat others kindly, but they just broke the ancestral precept of not going out of the mountains, angered Sa Sui, and didn't get any good results."

School……

Yan Lan asked: "When did the people who came to build the school come in?"

"It's been many years." Miao Nu was stunned, hesitating in her words, "Seven or eight years ago, more than ten years ago...it seems like a few years ago? I can't remember exactly."

"How many years is it now?" Yan Lan asked for confirmation.

"In 1994," Miao Nu replied, "We follow the outside time."

There was nothing wrong with the inn's calendar.

Then she guessed right.

"really……"

Yan Lan smiled unrecognizably, tapped her fingertips on the wall of the cup, watching the ripples of water:

"How much do you know about funeral banquets?"

Miao Nu pursed her lips and lowered her eyes without answering.

"I see, I don't make things difficult for you, then I'll change the question."

Knowing that Miao Nu would not say the information about the funeral banquet, Yan Lan just added chips to answer the next question, so she changed her words empathetically:

"Where is the ruins of that school?"

Miao Nu clenched the skirt on her knees and hesitated again and again.

Yan Lan hasn't mentioned the solution to twin shadows yet, if she refuses one, she won't be able to refuse again, but this matter...

"Wow, mom..."

The girl who was playing with the grasshopper started to cry without warning, pointing at the shadow on the wall, crying, "Grandma, it's strange, it's strange..."

The shadow on the wall was normal, and Miao Nu hurriedly ran to pick up the child, "Be good, little treasure..."

She looked at Yan Lan with red eyes, and made up her mind: "The school was not built, so I just borrowed from the original earthen building, which is the one you live in."

"The building we live in?!" Tu Yu suddenly got up.

The girl's cries became louder and louder, and even the air was pulled tense.

"Yes." Miao Nu gritted her teeth and nodded.

"What about the back mountain behind the earth building?" Yan Lan asked unhurriedly.

Miao Nu endured Yan Lan's act of taking advantage of the fire and broke the jar:
"That's the grave. Ah Sheng's parents, those dead workers, and students are all buried there!"

【Ding!Congratulations to the player for successfully exploring the truth, the progress of the main task is 65%! 】

"It's so happy early, isn't it over soon?"

Yan Lan relaxed and smiled, poured the root of the tea away, put down the cup and got up.

She approached the crying girl, flipped her fingers and took out two lollipops, and handed them to the child:

"Here, your reward."

The crying girl stopped her tears in an instant, took the candy, laughed and said, "Thank you sister."

Miao Nu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Before you came, I exchanged a few words with the child and made a small deal."

Yan Lan touched the girl's head and praised sincerely: "This kid has good acting skills, better than many adults outside."

Miao Nu's chest heaved with anger from the heartless air-tight padded jacket.

"As for the twin shadows..."

Yan Lan withdrew her hand and sighed, "They are harmless."

Miao Nu was stunned: "What?"

"If you are forced to separate mother and daughter, how can the child blame you.

"It's not a curse for them to return to the shadow of their brothers and sisters, but the simplest obsession, which is also cause and effect."

Yan Lan pointed to the shadow on the wall:
"Maybe she looks a little uncute, but at critical times, she can save you, or your daughter's life, and protect you from disasters.

"You owed her a debt of gratitude, but you were forced to separate from her. She has not been reincarnated for a long time, because she has the obsession to repay the kindness she owed before her death."

Yan Lan said no more, "Take care."

Miao Nu watched her leave blankly, and it took a long time before she hugged the child tightly and broke down crying.

"Grandma don't cry," the girl was ignorant, watching her mother cry and crying, "Grandma don't cry, I will give all the sugar to Grandma..."

……

The three of Yanlan went out.

"Born good flowers and bad grass, young birds nested in different nests into the yellow cellar, the mountains and rivers are peaceful and the rusty bones are honored."

Xuan Mingfeng lowered his head and sighed, "So that's what it means."

The baby birds are killed if they enter the wrong house, and the whereabouts of the dead bodies are still unknown.

Yan Lan didn't speak, she was still sorting out the information.

"The drums stopped."

Tuyu's ears twitched: "The selection for the arena is over, shall we go and see the results?"

Only then did Yan Lan come back to her senses, "Okay."

It just so happened that she had some clues to close the loop.
