Chapter 260
Both the cinnabar and the black wood in this barrenness have a defensive and weird effect, and both can play a role in avoiding evil.

But the effect of black wood is about three times stronger than that of cinnabar.

Hearing these words, Gu An couldn't help but look at these gray-haired juniors...

Only then did they notice that there was a black wooden sword hanging on their backs or around their waists.

The wooden sword is made of the same material as the house.

They obviously used this original weapon to deal with Weird.

Zhang Chengfeng also noticed Gu An's gaze, smiled, took off the wooden sword on his waist, and then took another one from an old man next to him and handed it to Gu An and Zhang Ziying.

"Brothers, take it, this wooden sword is quite effective against weirdness."

Gu An didn't answer, but asked, "What about you?"

Regarding his own strength, Gu An already had some understanding through Nightmare. Compared to him, he felt that Zhang Chengfeng and the others needed these wooden swords more.

Seeing that Gu An didn't answer, Zhang Ziying didn't do anything, just stood silently by the side.

Zhang Chengfeng said: "Senior brother, don't worry about us. Some senior brothers lost their lives before, and we have kept their wooden swords. We will go get them later."

Hearing this, Gu An no longer refused, and nodded with Zhang Ziying: "Okay, then I will accept this sword."

Gu An grabbed the wooden sword and looked it over carefully for a while. It was a bit like a mahogany sword, which was specially used to ward off evil spirits.

Looking at the wooden sword, Zhang Ziying couldn't help but think of the incident that he was carried away by an iron sword in the vagina decades ago, and said, "You have stayed in Shouwang Village for so many years, have you seen any other treasures?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chengfeng thought for a while, and then nodded: "Yes, when we first came in, we more or less dug up some treasures in the sand, but the ones that were preserved were not perfect, and the damage was quite large. Dealing with weirdness can only have some weak effects."

"We wondered at the time, did our ancestors come here before? Are these treasures left by them?"

Zhang Ziying nodded: "My brother and I also think so."

As Zhang Ziying said, he recalled the iron sword again. It was not an ordinary treasure that was damaged, but it was a sword that could suppress Han Laocai, and it also changed some of his physique, which can be regarded as a great gain.

But unfortunately, the sword was too huge to be carried around, it was very inconvenient, and it was also used to suppress Han Laocai, so it remained in the pit.

Gu An didn't take the iron sword away afterward, and he also disliked it for being too big to carry on his body, which was a lot of inconvenience.

Unless he needs to suppress some evil spirits in the future, he will consider the iron sword.

"Senior brothers, let's talk as we walk."

Zhang Chengfeng looked up at the sky again, and the expression on his face became more serious.

Gu An nodded and followed with Zhang Ziying.

Along the way, Gu An was still thinking about what Zhang Chengfeng said just now, that there should be many treasures similar to iron swords in this barren plain, and they are all good things to restrain weirdness.

But it's a pity that they can't leave the village too far, they will lose their shelter, and face all kinds of weird attacks.

Zhang Chengfeng and the others have obtained a lot of treasures just by guarding this small part of the village over the years. Even if they are all damaged, they are still very good at dealing with weirdness.

Gu An thought, if he could get out of the village and visit other places in the barren plain, he might be able to find more treasures, then take them out, distribute them, and help humans fight against weirdness and repel them.

While thinking, Zhang Chengfeng had brought Gu An and Zhang Ziying to a house.

The styles of the houses in the village are almost the same. Zhang Chengfeng stood in front of the house, pointed at the house and said with a smile, "Senior brothers, this is a double room. Considering the safety issue, I will not separate you."

"By the way, let me remind the two senior brothers again that at night, no matter what you hear, see, or call you, don't answer, just sleep peacefully."

Zhang Chengfeng reminded him carefully again, it was obvious that he was very worried about the village at night, afraid that Gu An and Zhang Ziying, two talented people, would sneak out at night.

"Okay, my brother and I will pay attention."

Zhang Ziying nodded at the side.

Zhang Chengfeng also nodded in response, then looked at the sky, and immediately said: "Senior brothers, I won't bother you any more, see you tomorrow."

As he said that, he and a group of old men hurried to their respective houses.

Gu An looked at their backs silently: "It seems that this village is really not easy at night."

Zhang Ziying was sitting in a wheelchair, and looked half a body shorter than Gu An. The two stood in front of the house, with their backs against the dim sky, and their figures could only be vaguely distinguished by the remaining light.

"With senior brother here, I can rest assured."

The wind blowing from the barren plain blew the hair of the two of them, but one was still in full bloom, while the other was already very old.

"Come in, I'll push you."

Gu An walked behind Zhang Ziying, and skillfully pushed the wheelchair into the house.

Almost the moment they entered the room, the entire sky suddenly darkened, and there was no light in the whole world.

It seems that this world is inherently black.

There is no light, no life, no breath, only the night wind on the barren plain brings sand and soil to the village.

The room is not big, but it is not crowded. Some of the furniture inside are necessities, and there are no other unnecessary wasteful decorations.

Although less leisurely and elegant, it is indeed a suitable residence.

"What are you looking for, brother?"

Zhang Ziying was sitting in a wheelchair. Although the room was pitch black and he couldn't see Gu An's expression clearly with his old eyes, his ears were good and he could hear some movement. This senior seemed to be looking for something.

Then, Zhang Ziying saw a beam of light, and saw her senior brother holding a lighter in his hand, turning around slowly, and as he was facing her, there was a bright light between the two of them, bringing some warmth to the dark room.

"I was looking for an oil lamp. When I first came in, Zhang Chengfeng told me that there was an oil lamp in the room."

Zhang Ziying heard this, thought for a while, and said: "Brother, forget it, save some money, after all, this place is deserted, and the resources you use will be less."

Gu An smiled: "I thought so too at first, but the little old man Zhang Chengfeng told me that there is no need to worry. They have a lot of resources here. Because of the special reasons of this land, the amount of food planted increased. Scary high."

"There is a lot of oil and water extracted from rapeseed."

Hearing this, Zhang Ziying smiled: "That's pretty good. Although I'm lonely, I don't have to worry about food and clothing. It would be even better if I wasn't surrounded by these ghosts..."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked out the window, lost in thought.

At this time, Gu An also found an oil lamp in the room, and carefully lit it.

The dark room instantly became much brighter, and the figures of the two of them were projected on the window paper.

Between the two of them, the bean flame of the oil lamp was still flickering slightly.

Zhang Ziying stared out the window for a long time, then looked away, looked at the oil lamp wick, and asked, "What do you think will happen at night, brother?"

Gu An smiled: "Why guess these things? According to Zhang Chengfeng and the others, the night will not be peaceful, and you will know later."

Zhang Ziying nodded and said no more.

Both of them didn't talk too much nonsense, they just couldn't sleep, and each sat in a daze.

It was Zhang Ziying who broke the calm first: "Brother, I have been living in the community for decades, and I am used to being alone. I have never felt that loneliness is a difficult thing."

"After staying with senior brother now, when I think back to the past, I suddenly realize that loneliness is an unbearable thing."

Gu An smiled slightly after hearing this: "It's easy to go from thrifty to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal."

Zhang Ziying nodded: "Yes, if you are always in a state of loneliness, it will be enjoyment and habit, but now I realize that loneliness is not after enjoyment, but I am a little afraid of going back to the past, afraid of those days, and seeing the sky Day, no expectation, waiting to die every day..."

Gu An was silent for a while, he felt that the chat between the two seemed a little heavy, but before he could speak, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

"Dong dong dong."

The knock on the door wasn't loud, but it wasn't low either. In the quiet room, the two of them could just hear it.

"Who?"

Zhang Ziying shouted habitually.

But no one answered outside the house, just endless knocking on the door.

Gu An understood quickly, and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhang Chengfeng said that the guests from the village have already come out, and they seem very curious about us newcomers."

Zhang Ziying just came to her senses, and nodded: "Then what is the brother going to do? Do you listen to Zhang Chengfeng, don't bother? Wait until dawn with peace of mind?"

Gu An shook his head calmly: "From the beginning, I never planned to stay in the house at night. Zhang Chengfeng said that the village is not peaceful at night, so I wanted to go out and have a look instead."

"Ziying, our purpose of coming here is not like Zhang Chengfeng and the others, guarding the village forever and trying not to let the weirdness inside leave this door."

"We are here to find a solution to the weirdness completely, so, this adventure, they don't have to do it, but we have to do it."

Zhang Ziying nodded, and couldn't help but tighten the wooden sword that Zhang Chengfeng had just given in his hand: "I will do what my brother tells me. If there is really something extraordinary in this village, I don't blame my brother, but I just take a step first."

Gu An smiled: "Don't always look like you are parting from life and death, these ghost things may be invulnerable to Zhang Chengfeng and the others, and they can't be avoided, but for us, it's really uncertain who will avoid who at the time. .”

Zhang Ziying could hear the confidence in Gu An's words. He didn't doubt it at all, but nodded in approval: "What the senior brother said is, with the senior brother here, I believe these problems are not a problem."

Gu An didn't answer, he was already numb to the compliments from his junior brother...

Instead, he said: "But we are not in a hurry now, I want to see how many ghosts and snakes are going to come out at night."

"In addition to lighting the lights in this room, I also want to see if I can attract more of these beings."

Zhang Ziying nodded understandingly: "Zhang Chengfeng and the others are afraid of being stared at by these things at night, so there is a high probability that they will not light the lamp. Now that the brother has lit the lamp, it should be able to attract a lot of people."

Gu An raised his head and looked at the door of the house with far-reaching eyes: "I hope..."

The knocking on the door continued without stopping.

Even now, it's not just the knock on the door, Gu An also heard something crawling on the tiles on the real roof.

And outside the window, although it was pitch black outside, Gu An could feel that something was hiding behind the window.

Also, behind the wall not far from the wooden house, Gu An can vaguely feel that there is something ghost lying there, and his white eyes should be staring at this side.

All the existences seem to have popped up at this moment, warmly welcoming their new guests.

When Gu An and the others heard these movements, Zhang Ziying could also feel them. He leaned patiently on the chair and remained motionless. Occasionally, he would look at the roof from the corner of his eye, as some dust was falling down because of an existence crawling.

Zhang Ziying looked at the dust for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said to Gu An: "Brother, if this continues, I'm worried that our roof will be destroyed first."

Gu An didn't speak, but stretched out his hand calmly to pick up the dust that fell from the air.

After practicing kung fu for a while, he stretched out his hand to Zhang Ziying and showed him.

Zhang Ziying stared at the outstretched hand suspiciously, and then he was surprised to find that the dust turned into wisps of black mist and disappeared in the palm of his hand.

"Brother... this is?"

Zhang Ziying was a little dazed, wondering how these weird things could be so boring, using her own energy to evolve some dust for herself to see?
Gu An explained with a smile: "It's not weird or boring, but they have been trying to break through the barrier outside the house. The dust that fell is actually just some energy bodies that they spilled into."

"This house is made of black wood, which can resist the strange invasion very well, but after all, it is just to resist, not to eliminate the strange, so the continuous invasion of the strange will still affect some of the environment in the house."

Hearing this, Zhang Ziying frowned: "If the environment will be affected, doesn't that mean that Weird can actually invade successfully? It just takes time? Even if Zhang Chengfeng and the others stay in the house and don't come out, there is still a risk."

Gu An nodded: "Yes, it takes time, and it is precisely because these weird things can only come out at night, so the houses in the village have not been breached. As long as you stay inside at night, you are safe."

"Also, Zhang Chengfeng and the others don't know how to light the lights at night. If we light the lights, it will attract more weirdness, so we are naturally in greater danger than they are. The risk of the house being breached is also greater than theirs."

Zhang Ziying nodded: "I understand what brother means, but thinking about it this way, the house is still not safe enough. If you want to be truly safe, you can only get rid of these guys thoroughly."

Gu An smiled and nodded: "So, here we are."
