Picked up the devil, but very traditional

There is a large memorial archway at the entrance of the village, with a banner hanging on it saying "Welcome to Lianhua Township."

It is a little early to enjoy the lotus in June. July and August are the best viewing seasons. By then, Lotus Township will also usher in a wave of tourism, and farm stays will be very popular.

Gu En was here for the first time and asked in a low voice:

"Teacher Melu, can you feel the magic reaction from the outside world while you are in the bottle?"

"You can only feel the magic within one meter around you."

"Then you stay inside for a while. I'll find a place where no one is around and talk."

There were quite a few people at the entrance of the village, and there were surveillance cameras overhead, so it was not easy to let her out. Gu En could only walk into the village and see the situation first.

After entering the village, it was not as scary as I had imagined, but rather very warm.

Because the village has vigorously developed tourism, the roads from the entrance to the village are very flat and there are big street lights. You can see the square soon after entering the village, where some middle-aged women in neat team uniforms are already dancing.

As we all know, fear can be shared by others. The more people there are, the less fear there is.

But the premise is that it cannot cause panic, otherwise the fear will increase exponentially.

"Handsome boy, you're here so late. Do you want to stay overnight? We have authentic lotus fish."

The aura of outsiders was very obvious in the eyes of these aunts, just like the three big words "strangers" were written on their heads.

Gu En smiled and responded: "Thank you, Auntie. I will look for someone first, and then find a place to stay and eat after I find someone."

"Who are you looking for? Is he from our village?" The aunt was also very kind-hearted.

"No, I couldn't get in touch with you the other day when I came fishing, so I came to check on you."

"If you want to go fishing, go to the west entrance, which is in that direction." The old lady pointed to the distance and said, "Do you see that bridge? There is a place to fish under the bridge. There are probably a lot of people there now. You will definitely find it if you look for it."

"Thank you, aunt!"

"You're welcome. When you find it, please come to my restaurant to eat fish~"

"Uh-huh!"

Gu En nodded in agreement and walked in the direction of her finger.

I didn't walk around cautiously like a thief. Since people here are still living a normal life, it proves that the safety here is still guaranteed.

It's impossible that the alien spirits will go crazy and kill everyone as soon as he comes.

There is no such thing as a coincidence.

On the way to the west entrance of the village, there were fewer and fewer asphalt roads, and they gradually turned into gravel roads and dirt roads, and the surroundings became darker and darker.

It is said that they were originally planning to install bright street lights here, but the fishermen in the village said that the lights would affect fishing and easily attract mosquitoes, making it inconvenient for them to fish all night, so they did not install too many.

When we walked to the bridge, we saw that there were indeed many people fishing under the embankment.

Looking at the equipment, each one is more luxurious than the other.

One look at the harvest, each one is more meagre than the other.

But the expressions on their faces were surprisingly consistent, and everyone was convinced that they would catch a big fish with their next cast.

At this point, Gu En started to be cautious. He found a corner to release Meilu and quickly asked:

"How is it, are there any strange spirits nearby?"

"Have!"

"Is it strong?"

"Not strong, about the same as the one in the bottle."

Call ~

Gu En let out a long sigh, a smile on his face: "Where is it? Let's go catch it first."

"exist……"

Meilu pointed forward, and then... turned around in a circle.

Gu En: “???”

Chapter 14: Funeral Song

The evening breeze of June blows gently, bringing with it a hint of coolness mixed with the warmth left by the sun during the day.

The leaves rustled in the wind, as if whispering:

"Run!"

Gu En's hair stood on end. It was quiet, it was too quiet here.

Come to think of it, he seemed not to have heard the sounds of insects or birds chirping since entering the village, just like the scene when he met the red-clothed ghost.

It’s just that there are so many people here and the sound of square dancing is so loud that he didn’t notice it.

But now we are at the river, how is it possible that there are not even mosquitoes?

Something is wrong, very wrong!

Gu En slowly stepped back without opening his mouth to speak. Instead, he communicated with Meilu in his mind, asking her to quickly return the Demon Sealing Bottle and let them go back.

"Why go back?" Meilu's face was not afraid at all, but full of excitement: "There are so many alien spirits here, wouldn't it be better to catch them all?"

"Of course it's not good!"

Although Gu En was not a member of the Administration and had not experienced any strange events, he could tell with his toes that something was wrong when he saw a large number of strange spirits appearing in one place.

Considering the color of the water, the mysterious man might be nearby.

A person who can rescue the strange spirits from the Administration and make these strange spirits obey him is definitely not an ordinary person.

"There is a problem here, we..."

Boom! Boom! Clang! Ta-da!

The sounds of gongs, drums, and cymbals rang out together, breaking the quiet night.

The sound was so penetrating that half of the people in Lotus Township should have heard it, but the strange thing was that no one paid attention to it, as if they didn't hear it.

Then, a shrill voice sounded from across the bridge.

"Sir, raise your axe and start a funeral!"

Boom, boom, clang!

"The whole house is filled with children crying their hearts out!"

Boom, boom, clang!

I saw five figures appear on the bridge, two in front and three behind, two small and three big.

They all wore white mourning robes, white mourning belts on their heads, scattered white paper money, and walked slowly from the other end of the bridge.

Through the moonlight, we can see that the expressions of the five of them are exactly the same, with the corners of their mouths raised and the corners of their eyes turned down, giving them a look of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Everyone, young and old, work together, and use firecrackers and drums to cheer!"

"Those who hold the sheds carry them, those who help them help, shout slogans and cross the dam field!"

The two normal-sized men in front each held a suona, but did not play it.

With every step, the team stopped for a few seconds, and the two of them sang the funeral song together, one line at a time, and then continued moving forward.

"Don't get close to the tree on the right, the road on the left is dangerous so be careful!"

Boom, boom, clang!

Behind the two suona players were three burly men, over four meters tall and shaped like buffaloes, who were rhythmically beating the instruments.

The one on the left has flat, fingerless hands that are bronze in color, with a bright red silk on the back of his hands.

When you clap your hands, the sound of a small cymbal is produced.

The person in the middle has a pair of huge drumsticks in his hands, and the drum head is wrapped in red cloth. It looks like a human head.

He slammed his hands down on his stomach, making a deafening drumming sound.

The one on the far right is like a combination of the two preceding ones, with a drumstick in one hand and a flat hand in the other. When he strikes with both hands, a clear sound like a gong is made.

Logically speaking, with such a loud noise, even a deaf person would be able to feel the vibration, but the people under the bridge were unmoved and continued to fish quietly.

Even Gu En on the bridge was indifferent.

Meilu felt that the other party was quite powerful and had bad intentions, so she wanted to pull Gu En away, but when she looked closely, she found that Gu En's eyes were dull and his pupils and ears seemed to be covered by a layer of white film.

Looking at other people, the situation is the same.

Melu became anxious and dragged Gu En to the bushes nearby. After making sure that he would not be touched by other people, she cast cognitive obstruction and then got into the magic-sealing bottle herself.

Through the connection between the two, he tried to wake up Gu En.

And the wailing on the bridge continued.

"It's a flat road, get out of the way, and follow closely behind you!"

"Sending the deceased to hell, the three mountains and five peaks mourn together!"

With each step and song, the suona band has approached the bridge head, only the last step is left.

"Go slowly on the road to the underworld~~"

"There are plans for rebirth in the next life!"

After singing the last sentence, they have reached the other side.

For a moment, everything was silent. The surroundings were so quiet that it was terrifying, as if the air had frozen.

But in Melu's perception, the strange spirits around her were already in a state on the eve of a storm, and they would explode at just one opportunity.

"Soul goes ~ Soul returns!"

After the two suona players shouted this sentence, they picked up the suona at the same time and put it to their lips.

Beep! Beep! Dah!

The sound of the suona was extremely harsh and shocking, like a horn of attack, and all the spirits went completely crazy.

Get started!
