His sudden shout probably frightened the person hiding there. From the sound, the person was startled and stumbled on the mountain grass and gravel, and then he cautiously walked from the hut not far away. The darkness behind came out.
Even though the sky was dark and cloudy, and the shadow of the moon could not be seen at all, with Long Ya’s eyesight, he could still see the person clearly—
It was an old man in his 60s or 70s. It could be seen that when he was young, he should be very tall. Even if he was older, he still looked like he was about 1.7 meters old, but his back was somewhat arched. Except for the belly, he was very tall. thin.
He was wearing gray clothes and trousers, with yellow talisman paper on his shoulders, chest, arms, and legs. The talisman paper was different from the one used by Longya before. It looks like yellow paper, and the runes on it are not so smooth and look messy.
These messy talisman papers made the old man a little funny and a little pitiful.
"..." Long Ya swept the man up and down, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "Why don't you just put one on your forehead, is this exorcising ghosts or expelling yourself!"
He looked down at the yellow paper talisman on his body uncomfortably, pinched his fingers, and said with a dialect accent: "I just came back and saw those black qi running around, I was afraid of being entangled, so I took it out. Put a little talisman on your body for defense."
"Come back?" Longya frowned when he heard the word, and glanced at the hut behind the old man. He raised his chin towards the shabby hut and said, "Aren't you the one living in this house?"
"Well." The old man nodded.
"Hey - I heard that this house is inhabited by people who specialize in cleaning this ancient building..." Long Ya remembered what Qi Chen had said before, and looked at the old man again, with a little more suspicion in his eyes.
"Yes! I was cleaning the ancient buildings." The old man replied.
Longya frowned: "That black air is not something ordinary people can see, and you have a yellow paper talisman hanging all over your body, don't tell me that you are also a part-time warlock, waiting for Qingming to consecrate people who go up the mountain. , cheat some pocket money."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and again: "No, of course not! My charm is only for self-defense, it looks very rough, and it is not likely that anyone will be willing to accept it."
Long Ya still looked at him with some disbelief.
When I brought Qi Chen up the mountain a few times before, it was almost midnight, and the hut next to it was always dark, and there was no movement at all. It was estimated that the people living in it had already slept, let alone face to face.
Long Ya originally thought that the person who was cleaning the mountain might be someone who lived alone, who didn't have much labor capacity, and there was no one at home who needed to be cared for, so he was arranged to live on the mountain to clean the ancient building, which was considered a place to stay. The place.
But he did not expect to be such an old man.
"You drew this talisman yourself?" Long Ya asked.
The old man nodded: "Yes..."
"You can see the black air that ordinary people can't see, and you can draw some useful talismans... How can you live alone on this Qushan sweeping the floor? Even if you really pull a piece of cloth and become a warlock , it's better than this." Long Ya said, and glanced at him again, but he really couldn't feel any evil spirits in him.
The old man listened to it for a while and said, "My family... Since the ancestors from many, many generations ago, they will play these arena tricks. Of course, they are much more sophisticated than me, half of them are born, and half of them are acquired by themselves. It’s just passed down from generation to generation. When I came to me, there was not much left of the natural part. I didn’t pay much attention to the acquired ones. I only drew these few self-defense talismans. It’s enough. It’s enough. From the ancestors , my family has always had a family motto, that is, on the 19th of every month, when no one is there, we have to go to Qushan to sweep the dust of this ancient building... It has been passed on to me. It's just that I am alone, and I don't care. If it hangs, I don’t have to wait for nineteen, I just move it up the mountain, and clean it every day when no one is there.”
The first half of Long Ya was still a little puzzled, but when he heard "the nineteenth of each month", he had a point in his heart: "Did your ancestors say why you were asked to clean on the nineteenth of every month?"
"Yes, more than just a few words..." The old man whispered: "Our ancestors understood things much more profoundly than us, not only simple words, but some things I can remember from birth and often dream about, so I have always been In mind."
"The reason why my family has been going up the mountain every nineteenth month to clean the ancient building is because there once lived a great man in this ancient building. He once saved dozens of people from my ancestors' family and saved many people. It's just that too many people are afraid of his name, afraid that he will share with him. My Qin family has always been a person who remembers kindness. My ancestors left a message and cleaned this ancient building for him from generation to generation until he came back. Now, tell him that there are not only people who are afraid of him in the world, but also those who miss him..."
"Although I have been alone and widowed all my life, I am very lucky. The people in my family who have not waited for so many generations have told me to wait. This head was kowtowed for my ancestors. He didn't have time to thank him, so I finished speaking for him... "He said, looking at Qi Chen on Yan Longya's shoulder, and then bent his knees to kneel.
Long Ya was stunned by his knock, and turned to look at the person on his shoulder, only to realize that Qi Chen had changed at some point.
He raised his feet against the man's knees that were about to touch the ground, and stopped him: "He's about to wake up! I can't take your thanks for him. When he wakes up, tell him yourself!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and flashed into the ancient building, raised his hand and lit the two lamps on the desk, and the one at the back went straight to the side room on the right.
As expected, this ancient building has been cleaned all the year round. You can't see any dust. Even the bed is neat and tidy. In a place like Xishi, there is no moisture at all. Pass.
Long Ya put Qi Chen on the bed, flicked his wrist, and touched a black pill and a jade pot. He raised Qi Chen's head, put the pill into Qi Chen's mouth, and then He raised his head and took a sip of the water from the jade pot, then crossed into Qi Chen's lips.
The old man was probably a little worried about Qi Chen's condition, so he followed the door in a panic, and just asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?" When he saw the scene of Longya crossing the water, he was shocked into a coffin. Son, stiffened and silently backed out, looking at the huge ghost painting talisman hanging in the hall, feeling stupid for a long time.
Qi Chen was lying on the bed, his facial features did not change, but his hair became very long, spreading like ink under his body, and the clothes on his body also turned into long clothes of plain color. It's like it's going to be immortal in the next second.
Long Ya was sitting beside the bed, looking at his appearance he hadn't seen for a long time, and was a little dazed for a while.
The person who was able to speak freely before, suddenly changed to what he used to be, just lying quietly in front of him, with a faint sign of recovering his memory... A dragon who doesn't know how to spell nervousness for thousands of years Tooth felt this emotion for the first time.
Apart from the ancient building, the other three places where the formations were arranged were also turned upside down at this time—
The big waves of the river flowing through the Westport were surging into the sky, one after another, and they would rush to the shore almost in the next second, directly flooding the small half of the Westport.
The black gas billowed in the cave where the formation was once arranged at the bottom of the river, like a huge dragon, churning at the bottom of the river, causing countless turbulent waves.
There was a huge vibration in the construction ground in Yunshi City, and then the gravel splashed around, and the black air rushed into the ground with countless cracks. The stone crusher and scaffolding were shaken, and the shed surrounding the construction site was directly overturned and fell on the ground. The ground is full of dust.
In the residential area of Qin City, the old locust tree that was originally planted on the location of the Fu array has now become a piece of broken wood. The surrounding soil has been turned into a mess, and there is only a bottomless pit on the ground. In the hole, the wall of the residential building on the side was affected, and fine cracks also appeared, spreading from the bottom like a cobweb, and large swathes of the wall were shattered.
Where the talisman formations were broken, the black gas turned into a black dragon, rushing straight into the sky, tumbling in the sea of clouds, covering the entire sky.
After all the black energy dissipated, strands of light diffused from the four talisman formations, just like the stars floating from the ground in the sky, with a layer of faint firelight, they merged into rivers of light, with great momentum. Across the east, west, north and south, rushing towards Qushan in Xi city.
If anyone could see it, they would be so shocked by the sight that they would be speechless.
Countless light spots with firelight gathered from all directions, embracing the entire ancient building.
It is as if the people in the ancient building are experiencing a rebirth from ashes.
The red firelight almost shone half of the sky, and the old man waiting in the hall opened his mouth and looked at the scene in front of him... This is probably the most amazing scene he has seen in his whole life, no, it is the most amazing scene his family has seen for so many years.
All these star-like light spots poured into Qi Chen's body, the outline of his whole person became clearer, the ink-colored hair became longer and longer, and the plain white robe was no longer so vague and almost unreal.
Long Ya suddenly couldn't sit still.
He stood up holding his hands, walked to the window of the side room, and looked at the sky that was just out of the fire.
Behind him, on the wooden table, the lights were burning quietly, and the room was dimly lit.
The black dragon in the sky has been submerged in the sea of clouds.
After a long time, with the last sound of thunder rolling over, the rain fell again with a "wow", and the sound of rain knocked on the eaves of the ancient building, forming a line in front of the eaves, like a water curtain.
In such a rainy day, it is impossible to see the crescent moon and broken stars, not to mention that the black gas has not dissipated.
But not far from the horizon, a red star was revealed... It was a Yinghuo star that had not been seen for a long time.
At the moment Ying Huo Xing lit up, Long Ya heard a rustling sound behind him, and he froze when he heard it.
Then there were footsteps so light that even Long Ya couldn't hear them, from the bedside all the way to behind Long Ya.
A few seconds later, an unfamiliar voice sounded in his ear, saying, "It's raining again..."
Long Ya's heart suddenly fell to the ground, everything was exactly the same as many years ago, as if there had never been a separation of life and death...
His throat moved, and after a long time, he replied in a deep voice, "Well, it's raining again... You finally woke up and slept for a long time."
