As I looked at the big piece of wood next to the fire again, I did see a small hole on it. Just as I had seen before, the method was to drill a small hole in a big piece of wood, fill it with dry grass, preferably with foam, but there was none here, only dry grass. Then, friction would heat the dry grass and make it smoke, slowly turning the smoke into a flame.
At this point, my curiosity overflowed again. I squatted down, watching the small flames and asked Yanqing, "Yanqing, do you ghost kings all like fire? Otherwise, how could you be studying this thing? You know, people online say it's not easy to drill out."
"That's not it. It's just that when the boss didn't awaken, he liked to go to the mountains for a while and liked to play with this thing, so I followed along and gradually became proficient. Although we ghosts are afraid of fire, when we reach the level of ghost king, we don't necessarily like fire, but we won't be afraid of it. I also find this thing quite interesting, so when I come back, I play with it for fun. I consider it a kind of pleasure," Yan Qing explained with a smile.
"What kind of logic is this? Playing with fire as a pleasure? Is this pleasure interesting?" I looked at him with an incredulous look, and Yan Qing immediately laughed and said, "Miss Yuan, you really believed it. Actually, the first part is true, and the second part is a joke."
I glanced at Baiye with a touch of romance, pretended to be angry and ignored him, then watched as the small fire slowly burned. I carefully added some dry firewood to make the fire burn stronger. When the fire stabilized, before I could speak, Baiye immediately put the vulture demon's bones on the fire and burned them until they turned to ashes. Then he extinguished the fire and scattered the ashes into the river.
As Baiye scattered the ashes into the river, he said that the river was peculiar, and that it was the safest place to put the ashes. Despite the river appearing clear, he faintly sensed the smell of blood within it, and there was an indescribable sense of intimacy, like the water of the underworld's Yellow Springs.
It's as if the words of romance had triggered something - the river suddenly changed its appearance, like the rising tide in the sea. The water surged wildly towards the shore, almost reaching our feet in an instant, sending a bone-chilling coldness our way.
Terrified, Romance and I turned and ran, but after a while, we saw that the water hadn't followed us. When we looked back, we noticed that a mist had formed over the river, and in the middle of it, there seemed to be a small boat with a boatman at the helm. Of course, these images only flashed by, and it seemed as if the boatman and the boat had never appeared at all. Even the mist gradually dissipated, and the river returned to its calm state.
After waiting for a while and seeing nothing unusual, I and Yanqing walked into the village with lingering fear. We walked all the way into the village and encountered no strange occurrences. When we arrived at the first residence, we knocked on the door and were greeted by a young couple. Before the young couple could speak, Yanqing directly took out a thousand yuan and asked the couple, whose eyes lit up at the sight of the money, "Hello, I'm here to inquire about something. If you agree to answer, this money is yours. If not, we can ask someone else."
Before Yanqing could ask the question, the couple grabbed the money and eagerly said, "It's okay, it's okay, ask away. As long as it's about this village, there's nothing we don't know. Even if you ask about the ancient well in our village, I'll spill the beans for this money."
"Hey, you guessed it right. I'm here to ask about the ancient well in your village. I hope you can really answer me," Yanqing chuckled.
The couple was surprised that we were really asking about the ancient well. They were stunned for a moment before stammering, "Actually, we know very little about the ancient well. We only know a few words left by our ancestors and the location of the well. We really don't know anything else. But if we don't know, no one else in the village will know either." They were afraid that Yanqing and I would take the money back. In the end, not only did they tightly hold onto the thousand yuan, but they also firmly stated that they didn't know, and no one else in the village would know either.
After hearing these words, I immediately interjected, "Brother and sister-in-law, we just want to know the location of the ancient well, we don't need to know anything else. It's just what you know that I want to ask. It's really a coincidence. Are you two the rescuers sent by heaven to save us? Thank you so much. Brother and sister-in-law, please tell me quickly, where is the specific location of the ancient well?"
"Really? That's great, honey, we're rich now. This money is ours, we don't have to worry about returning it. It's so good, really good! I'm so excited!" The woman, upon hearing that I was only asking about the location of the ancient well, suddenly became ecstatic, and in the end, she excitedly hugged the man and screamed.
Seeing her so excited, I felt a bit embarrassed to interrupt her, but then I remembered that I was in a hurry. So, I had to ask these two again, "Brother and sister, please hurry and tell us where the ancient well is. We are in a hurry to see it. You can be excited after you finish telling us."
Seeing how anxious I was, the man immediately pulled his wife and then looked around as if he had a mischievous idea. Sure enough, he then said, "I can tell you, but you have to add another thousand. Otherwise, we will tell you tomorrow. Don't ask us why. We just decided to raise the price. If you don't want to ask, it's okay. We won't refund the money anyway."
The man's behavior immediately made me angry. I stepped forward to argue with him, but Yanqing quickly took out ten thousand yuan and handed it to the man, saying, "Is this enough?"
It was obvious that the man was swallowing his saliva, and his body was trembling with excitement. The woman rushed forward and snatched the money from his hand, repeatedly saying, "It's enough, it's enough," without answering. Instead, she started counting the money one by one. This made me even angrier, so I slapped the woman and said, "Sister-in-law, can't you finish telling us before you start counting?"
It's like tasting the sweetness, this woman actually learned from her husband: "Want to know why we're adding this money? Don't ask me why, just like my husband's explanation, we're just raising the price..." Before she could finish, the money in the hands of the woman and the man was snatched back by Yanqing. Then, with a cold face, she snorted, "Not worth mentioning, forget it, I won't give you a penny. You decide whether to talk or not. If you don't, I'll kill both of you and silence you. Anyway, your homes are at the forefront, and no one will see for a while." After speaking, Yanqing quickly pressed the knife against the man's neck and used her other hand to grab the woman. Seeing this, I also rushed to help, to grab the woman.
While pinching me, he said, "Yanqing, I'll deal with this woman, you just need to interrogate that man. Don't underestimate me, I am a forensic doctor and I understand all the acupoints of the human body. Although I dare not give myself an injection, I dare to operate on others, and without any scruples, because most of the people I operate on are already dead."
"Stop, stop, let's talk, let's talk for free. You don't need to pay," before Yanqing could say a few harsh words, this shameless couple unexpectedly softened their tone in unison.
"Then stop beating around the bush, speak up. Seeing this, I took the opportunity to say in a dangerous tone with a squint in my eyes.
"Okay, okay, right in the center of the village, you can see the thick black mist from afar. Once you enter the black mist, you can see the well. But this is all just a legend. The people in our village, if they want to live, cannot go in to see it. Even if the weather is very dry, they cannot go there to fetch water, otherwise the only outcome is one word, death," the man, fearing death, hurriedly said before the woman could speak.
The woman was unwilling to fall behind and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, my husband is right, it's just like that. Can you let us go now?"
"Sure, but to prevent you from calling for help and causing trouble for us, I will knock you out first. You didn't keep your word, you know the most basic thing as a human is what? It's trust. You can't even do that, so don't blame us for being rude," the speaker said mercilessly, then proceeded to knock the two of them out without mercy.
Seeing two successful people faint, Yanqing waved his hand at me and said, "Let's go to the Old well and take a look. Actually, we might as well not ask and just go to that strange place to have a look. Oh, we've wasted a lot of time again. Miss Yuan, you won't blame me, will you?"
"No, of course not. Actually, what we're doing is right, because if we go to the wrong place, what will we do? Who could have thought that the place we're looking for is really there? If not, what if it's as weird as that tree? So, Yanqing, you don't have to blame yourself. What you're doing is actually not wrong," I comforted Yanqing.
"Miss Yuan After you said that, I felt much better in my heart," Yanqing smiled and said.
After a while, Yanqing and I had already reached the edge of the black mist. When we reached the edge, I stopped and carefully approached the black mist. Unexpectedly, as soon as I approached the black mist, it automatically dispersed as if it had seen its master. niece, what's going on? Is it because I am the buyer of the double-headed three-eared pig that it's showing me this favor?
But damn, looking at the romance novels, it's the same treatment. I know I'm overthinking it. In fact, this black mist deliberately does this to make us enter the Old well area, and then who knows what horrifying things will happen. Whatever, I can't think too much about it now. So I quickened my pace even more. It's strange to say, but as I quickened my pace, the black mist also retreated quickly, as if the black mist had a spirituality.
