Chapter 60. Ancient Village Tour
Arc 3 : Supernatural Horror Movie Nightmare.
Xiao Lang rubbed his painful head to calm himself down, then asked: “When did I fall asleep?”
Du Yan said: “You fell asleep right after we got in the taxi, and you slept soundly. You pressed my shoulders so hard that it hurt like hell.”
Xiao Lang was a little embarrassed and apologized quickly: “Sorry, I guess I didn’t sleep well last night. Are your shoulders okay?”
Du Yan in front of him raised his lips and smiled softly. Xiao Lang was slightly stunned and felt that this smile was very different from the previous smiles of Du Yan, he had seen.
Just when Xiao Lang was still staring at Du Yan’s smiling face in a daze, Du Yan suddenly whispered: “Give me a kiss, and I will forgive you.”
Xiao Lang was shocked and began to stutter: “You, you didn’t sleep well last night, so you are talking nonsense now…”
Du Yan smiled again. He didn’t say anything else but pushed Xiao Lang’s shoulder. The force was not strong, but Xiao Lang was pushed against the car door. He watched Du Yan lean over and get closer.
Xiao Lang thought that the hand pressing on his shoulder was too strong, and he could not move at all. He could only stare at the face that always made him unable to take his eyes off, moving closer.
“I said, give me a kiss, and I’ll forgive you.”
Du Yan said softly and lowered his head.
“No, it can’t be done. It’s going too fast!” Xiao Lang finally shouted after struggling.
“…”
Xiao Lang opened his eyes and saw Du Yan standing in front of him with a puzzled look on his face. The two were far apart, and Du Yan was standing while he was sitting, and they were not in a taxi at all.
“What’s wrong with you?” Du Yan saw Xiao Lang’s strange expression and asked.
Xiao Lang looked confused. He looked around and tried to summon some memories.
This was the hotel restaurant, and breakfast was a buffet. He ate quickly, and after finishing, he sat aside and waited for others.
Xiao Lang finally sobered up a little. He pinched his brows and said: “Sorry, I don’t know why I fell asleep. Where are they?”
Du Yan sat down next to him: “They saw that you were sleeping soundly and were embarrassed to wake you up, so they asked Tian Luo to take them around for a walk first.”
In fact, Du Yan knew what happened to Xiao Lang, so he took the initiative to ask to stay with him. When he was having breakfast, he saw Xiao Lang sleeping, and the true fire on his shoulders began to flicker.
People have three true fires, one on the top of the head and one on each shoulder. The more vigorously these three fires burn, the fewer demons and monsters dare to approach.
Generally speaking, the three true fires in women, the elderly, and children are not as strong as those in young men. Therefore, these three types of people are more likely to be entangled by evil energy or see things that do not belong to this world than young men.
Everything Xiao Lang had just experienced was the existence of another Shunping City, which made him feel fear through dreams.
The three true fires will become stronger or weaker depending on a person’s emotions and physical condition. When a person is extremely frightened, the flames will instantly become extremely weak.
This is a good time to be entangled with yin and resentment. Once Xiao Lang is entangled with yin, another resentful ghost in Shunping City can come here at any time through Xiao Lang. Then, take further action to completely extinguish the true fire in Xiao Lang, and then pull him to another world.
The purpose of Du Yan’s staying here was to prevent the true fire on Xiao Lang’s shoulder from being extinguished. To become the Ghost King, he couldn’t be entangled by these inferior evil spirits at this time.
Just now, Du Yan stood beside Xiao Lang and observed, but found that the flames of his three true fires were very strange, and they weakened for a moment. This was naturally because he was greatly frightened in his dream, which led to emotional fluctuations.
However, just when Du Yan was about to help him, the fire suddenly became more intense. This happened twice, and finally, Xiao Lang woke up on his own.
When he woke up, the three true fires burned particularly fiercely, as if he was in an extremely emotional state.
Du Yan was completely puzzled as to what Xiao Lang had dreamed about.
Xiao Lang felt a little scared by Du Yan’s look and asked: “I had a very scary dream, which was…”
Xiao Lang wanted to talk to Du Yan about this strange dream, but he found that during the few sentences he talked, he had completely forgotten the content of the dream. He only remembered the scene when Du Yan lowered his head and came over to him.
“?” Du Yan looked at Xiao Lang’s face, which suddenly turned red in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.
Du Yan was not quite sure about the specific content of Xiao Lang’s dream, but he didn’t really need to know what the other person had dreamed about, so he didn’t ask any further.
Xiao Lang calmed down and tried to recall for a long time. Finally, he remembered something and took out his cell phone from his pocket.
He looked through the call records and found that there were no other records except the outgoing call records for calling people in the morning.
Xiao Lang was still a little worried, so he called his mother.
“Mom, where are you now?”
The voice on the other end of the phone said with some doubt: “We are on a trip. Didn’t I tell you a long time ago?”
Xiao Lang hesitantly asked: “You have no plans to give up traveling and come home?”
Mother Xiao felt even more confused: “We have paid for the tour group. Why did we give up the tour and go home? Did something happen to you?”
Xiao Lang quickly denied: “No, no, I’m fine, you guys have fun.”
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Lang realized that he had not told his parents about his friend’s visit because he was worried that his parents would give up their trip and rush back home.
How could his parents end their trip early and rush home to entertain his friends? Those absurd things just now were indeed just a particularly real and terrifying dream.
Now that Xiao Lang had woken up, the two of them went out to meet everyone.
While having breakfast, everyone had basically finalized today’s itinerary, which was to visit a very famous thousand-year-old village nearby.
According to Xiao Lang, the ancient village was a hollow one. The villagers had basically moved out of the old village and built new houses on the outskirts of the village.
The old buildings in the ancient village were well preserved and are now protected as cultural relics and can not be easily demolished. Except for some elderly people who were unwilling to move, there are basically no people living in the old village.
In the past two years, Shunping’s tourism industry has gradually developed. As a result, a very interesting scene has formed in this ancient village. The new houses around it were basically small shops, small hotels and small hostels opened by villagers, and the atmosphere was very lively.
The ancient village inside is full of ancient charms. When one walks from the new village outside to the ancient village, it feels like they have traveled through a time tunnel and arrived at a place that does not belong to the present world.
Xiao Lang originally planned to rent a car to drive to the ancient village, but when he asked at the car rental point, he found out that all the commercial vehicles for the day had been rented out.
There were now seven of them, and a small car couldn’t fit them all. Except for Xiao Lang, none of them had a driver’s license, so they couldn’t rent two cars to drive over.
Later, they all decided to take the bus. It is a unique experience to take the local bus and appreciate the scenery when traveling.
The weather this morning was quite good, and the climate in Shunping City was particularly pleasant.
Even in July, when the whole country is extremely hot, the gentle breeze still brings coolness before noon.
It’s still early and there weren’t too many people on the bus. Apart from Xiao Lang and his group, there were only a few scattered people.
The bus had left Shunping City and entered the suburbs. Outside the window were endless farmlands. It was the season when rice was ripe, and the golden farmlands made everyone feel relaxed and happy.
As they chatted, the scenery on both sides changed slightly, and the bus had already entered a village. Such villages clustered on both sides of the road were very common, but the village in front of them was a little strange.
The houses along the road looked quite new, with the common two-story rural style. However, as they crossed along the way, they did not see any signs of human habitation.
Liang Fei felt a little curious, so he turned around and asked Xiao Lang: “Why is this village so strange? Is there no one living here?”
Xiao Lang replied: “The ancient village is a newly developed tourist attraction. I have been studying outside for the past few years and have never been here. I don’t know what’s going on here.”
Liang Fei just felt that it was really frustrating for him not to know clearly, so he walked to the front to talk to the driver.
“Sir, what’s going on? The houses next door look newly built, so why are there no people living there?”
The driver was concentrating on driving and just waved his hand to indicate that people were not allowed to talk while driving.
DaShu sitting in the front row was very enthusiastic and explained: “This village ah! Just last year’s incident. For some unknown reason, the walls and floors of some houses suddenly cracked.
Liang Fei was very supportive: “It’s so scary!”
DaShu became more and more interested as he spoke: “Well, who would dare to live there? What if the house collapsed in the middle of the night? The villagers were so scared that they moved out. Later, the village invited the relevant department to come and inspect it. Guess what?”
Seeing that DaShu was still keeping the secret, Liang Fei’s expression became more anxious: “What’s the reason?”
DaShu smiled smugly: “Experts said there is a cave or something under this village. Anyway, it is because of the terrain that these houses are cracked. There is no way to solve it.”
Liang Fei asked again: “These houses look quite new. The villagers must have spent a lot of money on them. Why would they be willing to move away like this?”
DaShu waved his hands and said: “The people in this village are lucky. Aren’t they doing new rural construction now? The government found a piece of land for them and paid for them to build houses.”
After saying that, DaShu pointed to the north and said: “Look, it’s right there. It’s not much worse than the house they built themselves. They also received resettlement subsidies, so of course, they moved over smoothly. This place is now vacant. The government said that they would demolish it all when the time came.”
Everyone looked in the direction DaShu pointed, and sure enough, at the far end of the golden rice fields, they saw some uniform buildings with white walls and black tiles.
