Chapter 270 Ghost's Nest
Throughout the day, Jiang Hanye was immersed in that set of swordsmanship. At first, he took into account the Jiuli Village and the enmity between Emperor Xuanyuan and Chiyou, so he did not dare to use the Xuanyuan sword. Later, he couldn't hold back. Such a set of earth-shaking swords may only be matched by gods such as Xuanyuan Sword. I got it.
"If you really want to use a sword, why don't you put the scabbard together." Kan Cangyue stood behind Jiang Hanye with a wild duck in her hand.
When Jiang Hanye practiced swords during the day, she went hunting. Although Kan Cangyue did not need to eat, Jiang Hanye was flesh and blood, and wine and meat were indispensable.
"Is this okay?" Jiang Hanye said with some embarrassment, "What if that happens again?"
"It's nothing. What can two people who have been dead for a long time make trouble even if they want to make trouble?" Kan Cangyue is open-wind.
"I still don't want it, I'll do it!" Jiang Hanye took out a wooden sword from behind and said to Kan Cangyue with a smile, "Wood instead of iron, smart, right?"
"Puff!" Kan Cangyue looked at the mark in his hand, the rough workmanship, the thick and narrow 'sword', and finally couldn't help laughing.
It's evening, and the sunset is setting. The orange sunset gradually disappeared behind Jiuli Mountain, leaving only a faint orange light. Under such a light, Jiang Hanye suddenly found that Kan Cangyue's smile was so beautiful, which made him crazy.
"What do you think I do?" Kan Cangyue was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Jiang Hanye, so she put away her smile and asked.
"I think you should smile a lot, because you look really good when you smile." Jiang Hanye Road.
"Is that right? Even if it's good-looking, there's nothing worth laughing about. Do you still need me to force a smile? Kan Cangyue turned her eyes elsewhere, and she decided not to look at Jiang Hanye, because the smile on his face often gave her an illusion, an illusion that was enough to make her heartbroken.
"Cough!" Jiang Hanye also felt that it seemed a little Meng Lang to say so, so he coughed and reached out to take the chicken, "I'll clean it up."
"The world is not bad." Kan Cangyue Road.
"Oh?" Jiang Hanye was a little surprised, "What's good?" He felt that the world must have given her something else, which was different from what he got.
"At least I can eliminate hunger there." Kan Cangyue said, "So you can eat and drink well today. By the way, I'll bring you a jar of wine in the cellar of my third uncle's house." She pointed to the ground behind her and said.
Jiang Hanye turned his head and saw that there was indeed a jar of wine, about a catty of capacity. The mouth of the jar was still sealed with mud. It looked like some years. Even through this wine jar, Jiang Hanye still smelled the aroma. He used to be a person who didn't like drinking, but now he gradually has a good impression on alcohol.
"People will change, won't they?" Jiang Hanye stared at the wine jar and couldn't help saying.
"What?" Kan Cangyue said, "Of course, people will change, but no matter how they change, some things can never be changed."
Jiang Hanye didn't know what Kan Cangyue meant, but he didn't plan to figure it out. Some things might be embarrassing and sad. His hands and feet were very sharp, and a wild duck soon turned into a piece of tender meat in his hand, and dinner was ready in a very short time.
"I'm going to eat!" Jiang Hanye raised his duck leg and said to Kan Cangyue.
"Hmm." She stood up, although she didn't feel hungry, but she decided to avoid such a moment.
Slowly walked to a dilapidated alley. Kan Cangyue looked at the complete building not far away, which was the Kan family's ancestral hall. The once solemn and sacred place is now surrounded by a heavy fog of sorrow. There seem to be many grievances floating over the ancestral hall, crying and talking... P>
"Why do I feel familiar there?" Kan Cangyue said secretly that there seemed to be a picture in her memory. She saw herself come out of the ancestral hall, but her memory was vague. She could not tell whether it was true or false at all.
Kan Cangyue decided to come closer. Gradually, the ancestral hall became closer, and her eyebrows frowned higher and higher.
"No! Something is wrong!" Kan Cangyue said to herself eagerly. Her eyes wandered around the ancestral hall, trying to find out where she felt was wrong and the source of the fragment in the depths of her memory.
This ancestral hall only came once when she was with Jiang Hanye before, and then she never set foot in it. Now it's her second time to come alone.
The ground inside and outside the ancestral hall is full of fallen leaves, which looks very bleak. Once upon a time, this was a sacred place for their whole family to gather. Once upon a time, the ancient lamps here were bright, shining on the hearts of every Kan clan, but now there is nothing left. Kan Cangyue sighed slightly. She reached out and stroked the marble door frame. The cold feeling stimulated her nerves. For a moment, she saw the picture scroll: You Yan smiled strangely behind her, and she walked out of the door blankly.
"So, I was resurrected here?" Kan Cangyue was shocked, "I actually resurrected here?? Then, the ghost's nest must be near here!"
This memory is very contradictory, which makes her excited and sad, but in the end she decided to look for it well. Although Jiang Hanye had searched this place carefully before, after all, he was not familiar with it, and Kan Cangyue grew up here, and she could walk all the paths here three times with her eyes closed.
After a careful search, Kan Cangyue finally found an abnormality on the shelf of the ancestral hall.
There are rows of plaques facing the door in the ancestral hall. Those who rest here are the people who have died for generations of the Kan family. Now those plaques have long been gone, or they may have been burned by the ghost.
Although the card is no longer there, the shelf is still there, but under the table under this shelf, there is a slightly raised corner of the originally flat ground. This raised floor is a little special, and the way it rises is also very special. It is not like it rises naturally because of aging or something else. It looks more like a door.
Kan Cangyue bowed to uncover the marble floor, and a hole appeared below.
"Strange, when did there be an extra hole here? It's never happened before..." She was shocked, "Maybe this is the nest of ghosts! If so, this tunnel must have existed a long time ago. Thinking of this, Kan Cangyue took a breath of cold air. In this way, there was no bad intentions from the beginning.
The hole is foggy. That's not the boundary. Kan Cangyue is best at arranging the boundary. The boundary she has mastered can almost be said to be the best in the world, so whether there is a boundary or not, she can recognize it at a glance. Since it is not a boundary, but there is still a dense fog, which only shows that it is strange there.
Kan Cangyue looked around and found a curtain from the corner, which was originally full of curtains. She tore off a long piece of cloth from the curtain, took out a finger-long porcelain bottle from the arrow pot behind her, and poured some ** covering the cloth from the porcelain bottle. Those ** don't seem to be much, but after touching the cloth, they spread quickly on the cloth at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon the color of the cloth became darker.
After doing all this, Kan Cangyue put the cloth around his nostrils and then carefully entered through the hole.
As Kan Cangyu guessed, the dense fog at the mouth of the cave is nothing else, but a poisonous fog, but now she is not afraid of this. After entering from the mouth of the cave, three or five steps ahead is a step. The steps are vertical and downward, with a total of 13 steps. After counting step by step, Kan Cangyue entered a long dark tunnel. There was nothing in the tunnel. It was very quiet and almost could hear her own breathing.
I don't know how long it took after walking, and my eyes suddenly became spacious. Although it is still dark, after adapting to Kan Cangyue felt that she could see some of the surrounding scenery vaguely. Although it was not real, it was probably okay to see it. This is a circular cave. There is a table in the middle of the cave, which is full of spider webs.
After seeing these spider webs, Kan Cangyue's heart thud and said secretly, "It's here. It must be here!" She wants to look for more, but she thinks it's better to go back and tell Jiang Hanye.
After returning to the original road, when Kan Cangyue returned to his yard, Jiang Hanye had already finished dinner and began to practice swords again. He has only learned this set of swordsmanship for less than a day, but now he has danced very skillfully, and even Kan Cangyue can't help but be surprised.
"I didn't expect you to have such a understanding." Kan Cangyue Road.
Jiang Hanye was originally seriously dancing her sword, and her voice appeared behind her, so he stopped looking back at her and smiled, "Thank you for your praise. What did you do?"
"You eat, I avoid it." Kan Cangyue said, "When I was avoiding, I accidentally found a place."
"One place?"
"Come with me." Kan Cangyue Road.
Jiang Hanye hurriedly followed, because she turned around and strode away after saying that sentence. Kan Cangyue's speed was very fast. At this point, Jiang Hanye felt that he was out of reach. He almost used his strength to barely keep up with her footsteps.
Jiang Hanye followed Kan Cangyue to the ancestral hall. She stood under the table and stared quietly at the ground. Only then did Jiang Hanye find that there was a hole in the ground.
"Here?" Jiang Hanye said suspiciously, "Does this place lead to the ghost's nest?"
"I doubt it, so I asked you to have a look." Kan Cangyue said, "You surround this and let's go in and have a look."
"Hmm." Jiang Hanye took a piece of cloth. He and Kan Cangyue surrounded their nostrils one by one. After surrounding them, Jiang Hanye still said strangely, "This is not a deep mountain forest. How can there be a miasma?"
"Who can tell the ghost thing? If it had been made clear, it would not have been so troublesome." Kan Cangyue was about to go down as she spoke, but was pulled by Jiang Hanye.
"I'm a man, please let me walk ahead." Jiang Hanye looked at her and said seriously.
Kan Cangyue suddenly felt her heart beating at this moment. Heartbeat is a very common thing for a person, but it has not happened to her for a long time. Her face turned red. Fortunately, it was night now. Fortunately, there was no light here, which made Kan Cangyue a little embarrassed. She is a strong girl. She used to preside over family affairs at the age of her teens and is used to giving orders, but now, she gives in to this man and retreats behind Jiang Hanye like a little woman, waiting for him to open the road, although she is far more familiar with Jiang Hanye.
Jiang Hanye smeared and entered the cave. After adapting to the darkness, he began to walk forward. As he walked, he reminded Kan Cangyue to pay attention to the steps under his feet. There was a stone, a pit there, and so on. All this made Kan Cangyue feel sad. This man's kindness to her was actually so similar to Luo Ri. At this moment, her tears could no longer stop. In this way, she followed Jiang Hanye and moved forward silently with tears, and the man in front of her actually did not know anything about it!
Jiang Hanye is careless in some aspects, but his sharpness is unmatched in others. Not long after entering the passage, Jiang Hanye said with determination, "I'm sure that this is the nest of ghosts."
"Why are you so sure?" Because she cried, Kan Cangyue's voice was a little strange and her nose was a little blocked.
"What's wrong with you?" Hearing her strange voice, Jiang Hanye couldn't help but be stunned.
"Nothing, my nose is uncomfortable. Answer me quickly." Kan Cangyue randomly found a reason to prevaricate him.
"I am a sworn in the ghost. I have fought many times. He has a special smell, and almost all of them here." Jiang Hanye Road.
"That's good! Now I finally found it." Kan Cangyue said, "Maybe we should leave here after we finish this matter."
"Not yet. I want to rest here for a while. There is a big difference in strength between me and the demon god." Jiang Hanye said that when he thought of the opponent he was about to face, he actually played a little drums in his heart, which was a situation he had never seen before.
"It's okay." Kan Cangyue pondered for a moment and said, "Now let's do what we should do first."
Jiang Hanye nodded in the dark. When he first entered the cave and saw the spider web, he was more sure that this was the place he was looking for.
"What on earth are you looking for here?" Kan Cangyue asked.
"Find the soul of a poor child." Jiang Hanye said, "I don't know what evil skills the ghosts have practiced at the beginning. They love to arrest people's souls if they don't come."
"Retain people's souls?" Kan Cangyue frowned, "I remember that our family has such a skill, which is to borrow the soul to strengthen ourselves. However, because this skill is too evil, it has not been accepted for a long time and has been sealed. I didn't expect him to steal it!"
"Is it?" Hearing this, Jiang Hanye suddenly became excited. He stared at Kan Cangyue and asked eagerly, "So do you know what happened to his soul?"
"What we are looking for now is a tripod." Kan Cangyue said, "This tripod is not big, only about a foot high. There is a turquoise halo floating in the upper part of the tripod. If the tripod is found and the halo is still there, it means that those living souls are in this tripod. If they can't be found, or the halo is gone, it means that those souls have been used by him."
"Good!" Jiang Hanye was originally at a loss and had no goal, but now suddenly there is such a specific goal, which can't help but be surprised. Although it has not been found yet, it at least tells him that victory is in sight.
Jiang Hanye and Kan Cangyue searched around the round cave for a long time. In view of the previous experience of failure in the ancestral hall, Jiang Hanye searched very carefully this time, and all the corners were not let go, but what disappointed him was that there was nothing they were looking for.
"Since it's not here, I think we can continue to move forward." Kan Cangyue said.
This cave is not the end of the passage, and there is a long cave further. Jiang Hanye looked forward and nodded and said, "Well, let's continue to move forward, or am I in front." Now he feels more and more that he wants to protect this woman, who always looks so pale.
This cave is really curved and endless. Gradually, they felt that their breathing was a little short. The air here was very turbid. Even with Kan Cangyue's detoxification wipes, Jiang Hanye still felt very uncomfortable after inhaling the air.
I don't know how long it took before they came to a fork in the road. This is a small hall, with a long pillar connecting the top of the cave and the ground. Around this hall, the road from Jiang Hanye is divided into six directions, and six curved and slender cave passages are placed in front of them, making them unable to choose.
"Do you know how I usually choose at such times?" Kan Cangyue Road.
"Intuition?" Jiang Hanye Road.
"Yes." Kan Cangyue Road.
"Well, this time let's take a look at the intuition. I'll count one, two or three. Let's choose the road together. If it's the same, it's best. If it's not the same, how about taking my one first, and then take yours yours?" Jiang Hanye asked.
"Good!" Kan Cangyue nodded in agreement.
Jiang Hanye counted one, two and three, and the two of them coincidentally pointed to the cave on their left. After looking at each other and smiling, Kan Cangyue said, "It seems that this choice must be right."
"Tacit understanding." Jiang Hanye Road.
They turned to the road, which was rugged and full of abrupt rocks, and their feet were clucked when they walked. However, the road was very short, and they came to an end without going far. At the end is a small cave. The lights in the cave are bright, and there is a tripod under the lamp. As Kan Cangyue said, fortunately, the halo still exists.
