One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning
Chapter 484 Sacrifice
At this moment, the fat man laughed and said in a pretentious manner: "I know what you are thinking, but it should have nothing to do with the mysterious man."
It is unknown how long the dilapidated Fengmen Village has lasted. It is not a one-day effort to breed such a powerful wonderland. The villagers just keep repeating the moments they think are crucial, and these moments are often not recent.
Wang Ye nodded in agreement after hearing this and explained, "Indeed, the costumes of those villagers are very special. They look like they were worn a hundred years ago."
"Yes, the architectural layout of the entire village is also quaint. This village may have declined before modern times and has been dilapidated ever since. It is only because it is located in a remote area and is almost isolated from the world, so the legend about Fengmen Village has been widely circulated for a period of time." The fat man echoed.
The fat man continued, "Therefore, this could not have been done by that mysterious person, otherwise he would have already mastered the so-called secret of immortality. But then again, the immortals are actually around us, such as Deputy Director Zhang Qilin, and Feng Baobao who is beside you, Wang Ye."
Wang Ye turned his head to look at Feng Baobao, only to see that she had fallen asleep on the table without noticing what everyone was talking about. He sighed helplessly, then said firmly, "That's settled. Tonight we will disguise ourselves as villagers and go back to Fengmen Village. This time we must try to hide ourselves and go through their reincarnations to see what it is. But one thing to note is that this case is not just about our Jiumen Fengshui Bureau, the group of people tonight should also take action."
"That group of people?" Fatty and Feng Baobao were both confused, because when they set out, Huang Miao had not had time to tell them about the Astronomical Observatory.
"Apart from us, who else would get involved in such a matter? Could it be someone from the Security Department or the Service Department? Wouldn't that just cause more trouble?" the fat man yelled.
Wang Ye shook his head and said, "Things are more complicated than you think. That department also specializes in dealing with Feng Shui and other things. We have dealt with that group of people before. They are all practitioners of magic. Each of them has different abilities, and they can also use powerful formations together. I heard them talk and mentioned that the department they belong to seems to be called the Stargazing Bureau."
"In addition to the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau, does Dongda University have other Feng Shui departments?" Feng Baobao and the fat man were both surprised.
Wang Ye nodded, "That's right, but if you think about it carefully, there's nothing special about it. Before the establishment of the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau, who was responsible for protecting the Fengshui of Dongda? Dongda has a history of 5,000 years. Even small places like Japan have Fengshui departments like the Jiujiu School. How could Dongda not have one? Perhaps in order to conform to the development concept of society, the top leaders kept such things highly confidential. The Astronomical Observatory is likely to be a special department directly under the central government. When they perform their tasks, they intervene as a scientific research team, which means that they keep it secret from other departments, even the Service Department and the Security Department. I'm worried that they will soon re-enter Fengmen Village and there is a gap between us. I'm afraid their actions will interfere with our plans."
Wang also expressed his concerns, because the two action teams did not communicate with each other and their action plans were kept secret. He was worried that if they disguised themselves as villagers and blended in, the intervention of the Astronomical Observatory would break this balance.
At this time, the fat man seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "In that case, I have a risky idea, maybe we can try it."
Under the curious gazes of several people, the fat man slowly expressed his thoughts: "It is actually very difficult for us to integrate into Fengmen Village, because no matter how we suppress it, it is impossible for the Yang Qi in our bodies to not leak out completely. Once we encounter an emergency, that instinctive reaction will cause our Yang Qi to leak out uncontrollably. So if the Star Observation Bureau intervenes and deviates from our plan, it will be easy to go wrong. But what if we can abandon our physical bodies and enter Fengmen Village as spirits? Then we will be no different from those villagers. Even if the Star Observation Bureau makes a fuss, we can hide among the villagers and find the answers we want."
"You mean the soul is out of the body?" Feng Baobao looked at the fat man in surprise.
The fat man smiled and said, "That's a popular saying. Professionally, it should be called "spiritual release". The spiritual bodies of us practitioners are much more perfect than those of ordinary people. We can use an ancient method to temporarily let the spiritual body leave the body. But because of the restrictions of the law, it is difficult to use this ability in the outside world, and even if we can, it will not last too long. But Fengmen Village is a wonderland created by Feng Shui. There are no laws here, let alone taboos. Instead of pretending to be ghosts, why don't we really become ghosts? What do you think?"
The fat man's proposal was indeed bold, but it was indeed safer than the previous plan. However, the team members were worried that if they did this and something unexpected happened, would they be able to come back?
The fat man obviously knew the team members' concerns. He grinned and said, "Don't worry about not being able to come back. As long as we keep our bodies properly in a supervised place and don't damage them, we can come back. This method is a message attached to the Three-Coin Destiny Technique, called the Corpse Awakening Technique. Once this ancient technique is used, our bodies will lose all vital signs. The ancients would choose to use it while sitting in an embalmed object, but now we should need some medical intervention, which is not difficult. We can ask the Security Department for help."
After a brief silence, the fat man's words were quickly recognized by everyone.
Knowing that the members of the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau were about to go to Fengmen Village again, Chen Shu led his team and accompanied Wang Ye and the others as always. Logically speaking, Chen Shu had just suffered a serious injury in Fengmen Village and his body had not fully recovered, so it was not appropriate for him to step into that troubled place again.
But this time Wang Ye and his team did not need Chen Shu and others to accompany them into the village, they only needed to guard their bodies outside. Therefore, after deciding to use the corpse awakening technique, Wang Ye found Chen Shu. As for the cooperation with the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau, Chen Shu was naturally the first to do so.
Before leaving, he quietly pulled Wang Ye's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Will we meet those...'people' again at night this time?" Although they were people, everyone knew that they were actually ghosts. Chen Shu asked with some trepidation.
Wang Ye patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, you don't have to go in." Wang Ye knew his worries and gave him a reassurance. After all, taking them in would require distraction and care, which would be extremely detrimental to the operation.
After hearing Wang Ye's reply, Chen Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to face the ghosts directly. The group set out on their journey again, heading towards Fengmen Village.
"Let's set up camp here." The fat man walked in front, his expression becoming more and more solemn. Not far from Fengmen Village, he stopped, walked around a tree, and pointed under the tree and said.
"Set up camp?" Chen Shu was puzzled. He looked up at the sky, which was gradually getting dark. According to past experience, once it gets dark, the dilapidated Fengmen Village will become completely different. Setting up camp at this time always makes people feel uneasy.
Wang Ye and the others had no objection to the fat man's words. They quickly packed up and set up a tent in the blink of an eye.
"Team Leader Chen, next we are going to use an ancient method to enter Fengmen Village. You only have one task, which is to protect our bodies no matter what happens and make sure the eternal lamp does not go out. If the lamp goes out and we die, our lives will be in the hands of Team Leader Chen!" Wang Ye took Chen Shu into the tent and said solemnly.
"Time is running out, we must act immediately!" The fat man glanced at Chen Shu and urged.
Before Chen Shu could react, Wang Siqi came over with four eternal lamps in his hands. Feng Baobao was even more straightforward, lying directly on the mat on the ground, pretending to be about to fall asleep. Feng Baobao lay down silently. "I'll take care of everything. Remember, no matter what happens, you must ensure that the eternal lamps are not extinguished!" Wang Ye patted Chen Shu's shoulder and lay down beside Feng Baobao.
After the eternal lamp was lit, Wang Siqi lay down beside Wang Ye, and the fat man followed suit. The five of them lay side by side, all with their eyes closed. The scene looked a little weird.
The fat man closed his eyes, put his hands together, and then made a strange seal. He whispered a spell: "The sky is clear and the earth is spiritual, the yin is turbid and the yang is clear... the soul is out of the body!" Chen Shu couldn't hear it clearly. The invisible pressure in the air made him dare not even look at the people lying there. He could only force himself to stare at the five ever-burning lamps.
Strangely enough, after the fat man finished chanting the spell, the flames of the four eternal lamps instantly became brighter. But this state did not last long, and the flames of the eternal lamps swayed inexplicably, as if blown by the wind. However, there was no sound of wind in the tent.
Chen Shu subconsciously looked at the tent entrance. Wang Ye had already drawn the tent curtain when he came in, so there was no way the wind could get in. When he looked at the fat man and the others, he found that the faces of the five people turned blue and purple at the same time, and the temperature in the tent also dropped inexplicably, as if the people lying there were all dead.
Thinking of this, Chen Shu couldn't help but shudder. He squatted down carefully and stretched out a finger to test the fat man's nose. No breathing! His heart tightened, and he tried other people again, but the result was the same.
At this moment, Wang Ye's instructions echoed in his mind. He did not dare to hesitate at all, and walked out of the tent with a weak step. "Everyone listen up, guard the tent, and do not let anyone or anything in! The eternal light inside must not be extinguished!" Chen Shu's face was solemn, his tone was extremely serious, and he issued a death order to the team members.
The moment the fat man's spell took effect, Fatty, Wang Ye, Wang Siqi, Feng Baobao and Feng Baobao felt their bodies lighten and their vision flickered. When their vision came back to light, they saw their own bodies lying there.
"Okay, the spell is done. Time is running out. Let's hurry into the village!" It was completely dark, and the brightly lit Fengmen Village not far away came into view.
After they entered the village, they walked into a house at the gate, took out the green-faced and fang-toothed mask and put it on. The sound of suona started, and the hurried footsteps of the villagers were heard outside. Wang also knew that they were all in a hurry to participate in the sacrifice.
They walked out of the house and joined the villagers. Not long after, they arrived at the center of the village again. The people in the wedding procession were wearing red wedding clothes and masks, making it impossible to tell whether they were happy or sad.
White mourning clothes, mourning music. On the white sedan in the middle was a red wedding character. Between the two teams, children kept running, singing the same ballad.
"The sky is desolate, the earth is bright... The filial sons laugh in unison in front of the grave, and the tombstone without words has eternal life..." Although they had seen the information submitted by Wang Ye before, Fatty and Feng Baobao were still extremely shocked when they saw the Red and White Evil with their own eyes. If they were not wearing masks, no one could see their expressions clearly, and I'm afraid someone would have become suspicious.
The complete ballad reached his ears. The processions of the wedding and funeral had gathered together, forming a circle outside the altar and performing a strange dance. The villagers around him became even more excited. They waved their hands and seemed to be shouting something, but no matter how hard the fat man and his friends tried, they couldn't understand.
At the same time, Liu An and his team were hiding behind the grave nearby, watching the strange dance in front of them. After preventing the Duty Department from intervening in the Fengmen Village case, Liu An rushed over with his team without even notifying the Security Department.
This time, they did not blend into the team, but stayed at the cemetery from the beginning, quietly observing everything.
The songs sung by the children unknowingly became the soundtrack to this strange dance.
"Team leader, look above the altar, it seems like someone has appeared!" A team member whispered to Liu An, pointing his finger in the direction of the altar.
Liu An looked in the direction pointed by his team member and indeed found a short figure standing on the altar.
Soon, the figure began to move, dancing a dance that was completely different from the red and white evil team below.
-
On Wang Ye's side, Feng Baobao had been staring at Hongbaisha. Suddenly, she noticed the movement on the altar. "That's a sacrificial dance. That person seems to be praying for something!" She pointed at the altar and said seriously.
The fat man nodded in agreement, "Yes, that person was indeed dancing the sacrificial dance that was popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was usually performed when performing rituals and praying to God." He put a lot of effort into studying it and read a lot of miscellaneous books, and he just happened to learn about this sacrificial dance.
"Have you noticed that the Red and White Evils and the things happening on the altar do not seem to be happening at the same time, and they do not interfere with each other." Wang Ye observed very carefully and raised this question.
Although the villagers were cheering, Wang Ye inexplicably felt this way.
"The person sitting in the white sedan should be a beautiful lady!" Feng Baobao suddenly spoke. This was the first time she spoke so much.
Everyone turned to look at Feng Baobao, their faces full of confusion. Everyone knew that Feng Baobao could feel many things that they could not feel, so could she feel something now?
"The children sang, 'A pretty girl in shroud becomes a bride! '" Feng Baobao explained, her eyes fixed on the white sedan chair. (End of this chapter)
