Chapter 177 Spirit Fox Fantasy
The three cleaned up neatly, and Aken Zhang Fan checked all kinds of attack and defense props over and over again. I felt that there was nothing missing, so I adjusted my breathing and walked into the basin.
A faint fog surrounded the three people, and the village in the morning was already close at hand. Are the villagers inside still sleeping, but there is no one in these houses?
"Chinese upper state travelers have long admired the reputation of Dongying Linghu, and take the liberty to come to visit." Zhang Fan stood at the entrance of the village, with a loud voice, penetrating layers of fog and entering the village. After half axiang, there was no response.
Zhang Fan put a spell in his mouth, and the three people were shrouded in five-color Buddha light.
"Chinese travelers, take the liberty of visiting." Zhang Fan shouted at the door again. Still no one pays attention to it.
"Let's go in by ourselves. Stand here and roar, are you stupid?" Aken said impatiently, swaggered into the village with a spear and waved his hand to signal the two to follow.
The village is very quiet, and the morning sun gradually penetrates the fog and sprinkles golden light. It reflects the three colorful Buddha lights, like immortals in this fairyland.
The roads in the village are clean and refreshing, and the houses are simple and elegant, but those doors and windows are open or closed, but there is no half a human figure. It seems that the whole village and town have gone to visit relatives.
"I saw the lights on in the village last night. Why was there no one this morning?" Zhang Fan was strange in his heart.
"Let's go shopping and get familiar with the terrain first." Aken's eyes turned and continued to walk forward. Seeing this, Zhang Fan knew that Aken might have something in his heart, and he didn't say anything. He called Dark Sakura to follow and walk to the center of the village together.
Dark Sakura took a few steps forward, grabbed Zhang Fan's arm, and kicked him and said, "It's so empty here. How can there be no one living here?" However, when she was a child, An Ying heard her mother say that where the fox fairy lived..." but she didn't go on.
"What?" Zhang Fan Aken looked back and asked together.
"I forgot." Dark Sakura hung Zhang Fan's hand and lowered her head.
"Dizzy!" Aken shook his big head and continued to walk forward.
The village is not small. The three of them strolled down for most of the day and walked around the whole village and town. The village is not small. The village has pubs, tea shops and hostels, as well as oil houses (Japanese bathrooms, so to say soup houses). There is even a large temple in the center of the village. A temple tower behind the temple is the tallest building in the village. It's like a self-sufficient foreign town.
The stove in the pub is still steaming food, which is steaming. There are still wine and dishes on the table in the lobby outside, as if someone was talking about wine just now. Halfway through the meal, the person disappeared.
The same is true in the teahouse. The tea set on the table in the hall is still there, and the tea in the cup is warm. Half of the snacks are eaten, and the fruit shells spit out seem to be not dry. The curtain on the stage is open, as if there is a good play here. Half of the tea guests suddenly left, even Dr. Tea And the actor Youling disappeared.
The pool in the oil house is steaming, and the water temperature is just right. It is a little hot. There is a wooden board in the center of the pool, dividing the bathhouse into two sides. It seems that Japan is indeed a bath for men and women, but the soap bath towel basin are all there. It seems that those bathers ran away bare after half of the bathers! Their clothes are all left outside to rest!
There are also goods stalls on the counter in the store, and some scattered coins are also on the counter. It seems that the transaction is halfway, and the merchants and guests are in an emergency and leave in a hurry.
The same is true everywhere. Some seem to have eaten half of the rice, and the food is hot, but the people are gone.
Some of the quilts are half open, and the quilts are hot. It seems that someone has just gone to bed.
The pen and ink of refining words are not dry, and the handwriting is half written.
The stall was thrown, and even the money box was left.
There were still unfinished utensils in the fire of the iron, but the fire was booming, but the blacksmith threw the sledgehammer and ran away without a trace.
There are also washed clothes, fishing gear baskets, and a few live fish still struggling in the basket by the pond. These live fish are probably the only living creatures in this village.
"What do you think?" Aken asked Zhang Fan.
"I met the ghost village." Zhang Fan is now unaware that he is frightened.
"What should I do now?" Aken asked again.
"What should I do? Cold mix! How do I know? When the villagers come back, Zhang Fan spread out his hands helplessly. I'm hungry. Let's eat first. My hair is standing up here, and I'd better go out to eat.
Aken shrugged his shoulders and said no.
When the three left the village, in the middle of the street behind them, a breeze swirling past. The white-clothed yin and yang master with wide robes and big sleeves appeared, still with his hands in his sleeves and muttered to himself, "The vigilance is really high. He doesn't eat the food in the village."
............
"Nonsense, the village looks so strange. How dare I eat what's there?" Zhang Fan frowned and replied.
Aken smiled and said, "Actually, I don't think it's a big deal to eat, but I'm afraid that those are all foxen's eyes. After eating, I know that they are all sand bugs. Isn't it all like this in Liaozhai?
"Eye-bright? I don't look like it. In my Buddha's light, those foods have not changed. It should be true. It's just that it's still hot. It's not clear what the spell is. Zhang Fan shook his head and was puzzled. "I'm afraid that those fox spirits will be drugged in the meal and be at their mercy."
"What's wrong with leaving them at their mercy? You don't see that those foxes in the real world are all beautiful women. Oh, come and disrespect me!" Aken closed his eyes and opened his hands and said loudly.
"I'll kill you!" Zhang Fan patted him on the head and scolded with a smile. For Aken, the negative emotions brought by the strange scene in the village just now were swept away. If you want to survive well in the scene, an optimistic mood is essential.
"But then again, it seems that I heard Hu Mei Niang talk about how their fox spirits confuse human beings. At that time, I listened and didn't care. I didn't expect to meet him in the scene. Zhang Fan recalled carefully. There seems to be something in my mind that I can't remember, and it seems to be very important.
"Ha! You are going to find those vix spirits while we are away! Humph! When I see Green Wing, I will tell her about your cheating!" Aken said viciously, "But if you tell me honestly, I will open up your details!"
"I'm a scavenger. I'm looking for her on business. I'm cheating on you!" Zhang Fan kicked him again. Akan jumped away and shouted, "Fake for public benefit! If you want to shut up, it's too late now. As long as you finish the dark cherry, this little girl won't talk nonsense!"
"Fuck you, I'm recalling Hu Mei Niang's tricks! Don't break!" Zhang Fan knocked on his head. If only he had the excellent memory of Aken. At that time, he was too lazy to pay attention to these foxes' deceptive methods, and he didn't expect to miss such a good opportunity to break the puzzle.
Is this also a test in the world of precepters? You can't ignore any detail, especially some tips from the real world!
"It seems that if you eat the food in these villages, you will become a part of this village." Zhang Fan remembered, "Yes, let you slowly be assimilated by this village and town, and you will never leave here again!"
"It's so vicious!" Aken said in surprise.
"More than that, you will gradually forget your name, and then forget your origin until you forget everything!" Zhang Fan straightened out his mind, "You only have the name of this village, and you only know how to live and work here until death."
"Forget everything?" Arken bowed his head and thought, "It's really horrible. So is there any way to get rid of it?"
Zhang Fan nodded: "Of course, one way is to remember your name and read it out loudly. Or you can defeat the manipulator of this village and regain your memory! However, there are still two things to say whether you can become human. Some of them have been assimilated into cattle, sheep, pigs, horses and other livestock. How to recover? It can only be slaughtered by others!"
"It's not easy. I've forgotten it. How can I remember it again? Unless there is a strong external stimulus. It is even more difficult to defeat the manipulator. If you have the power to create the existence of this village and town, will you still be defeated by confused people? That's a bloody plot that only appears in movie novels.
Aken shook his head. Fortunately, he and Zhang Fan felt that the village was really weird and became wary. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be controlled unconsciously! That way, I lost myself in the scene and never found myself.
"What is the power of this confusing village? You won't even be confused by the top precepters like your master!"
"It depends on the controller of this village. If a monster like Hu Mei Niang creates this environment, it can at most confuse ordinary people. If it is a nine-tailed demon fox, I'm afraid ordinary practitioners will also be confused! I guess it's no problem for this village to confuse us!" Zhang Fan said here, and there was also some lingering palpitations.
"So what should we do?" Aken asked.
"Let's take one step. There should be people in this village at night. Then we will go in and explore to see if we can find some clues of cracking. Zhang Fan thought for a moment.
............
Night came in a blink of an eye, and the lights in the village gradually flashed. From afar, you can see that the village is full of people and lively. This seemingly quiet village is now more dangerous than being in a group of rat demons!
Zhang Fan and Aken discussed it and decided to stay outside to respond, just in case. Aken volunteered to enter the village, but was stopped by Zhang Fan: "I have a Dharma protection, and I think there should be no problem. There is no way to protect your body in Taoism, so you'd better answer it externally. If something happens to me, your strange escape technique may still find me.
