C63 (1/2)

These metal knocks came from behind, but after turning around … I didn't see anything.

Behind me, there were still many tombs. Due to the snow, these tombs had already turned white, giving off a desolate feeling.

It looks like... It was lonely and a little sad.

At this moment, I saw traces of metal striking on the snow not too far away.

It should have been the mark of something like a hammer.

And these traces were obviously caused by the sounds of metal colliding with metal. Why … Did he not see anyone?

I suddenly thought of the source of all the events. The night that Second Uncle Li died, I saw my foster father digging up the grave.

At this moment, it was as if the scene was repeated. However, what was dug out was not the grave, but the empty space around it.

The ground was too hard now, frozen by the cold of winter. There was no way to dig.

However, from the sound just now, he had actually dug out two deep marks on the ground.

Just when I was looking at the marks in the snow, I suddenly saw a few footprints beside the marks.

The village was covered in snow, not to mention the mountain.

However, the snow on the mountain was different from that in the village. Because there were not many people coming in the winter, all the snow was caused by environmental factors.

In other words, they were all blown by the wind. Some areas were deep while others were shallow.

And the deepest part, about to reach my calf, so you must be careful when walking.

These footprints were in rows, and they were obviously made by humans …

But in the middle of the night, other than me, Funerary Lady, who else would appear here?

I frowned. I didn't know what was going on, but I still walked closer to the footprints.

Even if it was Funerary Lady, at night, it would be alright to leave the grave for a while.

Furthermore, I had a hunch that I would be able to find some clues on the mountain during this half year.

Now that something similar has happened, how can I not be excited!

But at the same time that I was excited, I kept putting it on hold. The closer I got to the clues, the more likely it was that I would be in danger.

Following the footprints slowly moving, I felt a little strange. I clearly heard the sound of someone knocking against something just now, but I could clearly see the footprints.

What kind of person could be so fast and disappear in the blink of an eye?

Moreover, this type of snow was extremely difficult to run in. There were even sounds of crunching noises coming from it, so why didn't I hear any?

Unknowingly, I had already entered the depths of the mountain. Luckily, with the flashlight in my hand and the bright moonlight, I could clearly see the road in front of me.

I looked at Lingling behind me and whispered:

”Lingling, don't be afraid. Big Sister is here.”

The reason for this consolation was that after half a year of contact, I discovered that Lingling was an extremely sensitive person.

He could always sense some strange things that ordinary people couldn't.

According to the book, this kind of person had a rather strong perception of Yin Yang Energy. However, there were some people who did not know about it.

He could only feel that something was unusual, but he did not know how unusual it was.

My guess is that Lingling should be such a person. Not only that, sometimes she can even see things that are invisible to the naked eye.

Just like me...

Humans themselves were all positive, but the Yin and Yang of all living things in this world were not absolute.

To take a simple example, life becomes yang, death becomes yin.

Humans, for example, were originally yang, but within these strangers, Yin and Yang could be separated.

Men were yang while women were yin.

Therefore, the relationship between Yin and Yang could only be considered as relative. It could not be considered as absolute.

After walking for a distance, Lingling suddenly pulled on my back lightly, and said in a small voice:

”Elder sister, look to the right.”

I anxiously looked towards the direction that Lingling indicated. I could vaguely see a few flames at that place. It was the light of a candle.

Before the fire, there was a person kneeling there. It seemed like he was offering sacrifices. Perhaps it was because the weather was too cold, but I could vaguely see that the person's body was slightly trembling.

Of course, it might not be because of the cold, but it might be because of this person … Crying.

I looked at the man's back and felt a sense of familiarity. Beside him was a candle and pieces of paper money.

That... It was the back of his foster father!

If it really was his foster father, then this person should be a ghost. Why would he leave behind such a footprint? Why was he able to kneel here like a living person?

At this moment, I didn't dare to hesitate. I was afraid that the person in front of me had suddenly disappeared. I quickly ran towards that person.

As I got closer to the man, I could faintly hear the sound of sobbing behind him.

Following which, I saw that beside this person, there were many circular holes on the money with Rune s drawn on them.

Repellent Glyph...

Drawing Talisman on the circular hole was a special part of the skill that Liu Qing used.

But this technique was different. Because the Ghost Being was driven by the Evil Spirit Qi, most of the techniques for exorcism, including those recorded in the Compendium of Evil Theurgy, required the cooperation of the round hole money.

Paper money was something that could excite the Netherworld, and drawing talismans on paper money could even more so bring out the role of a Ghost Being.

Furthermore, this is a Rune recorded in the Evil Theurgy, which I happen to have a rather deep memory of.

Could they be Rune s that could drive Ghost Being s? Could it be the footprints left behind by those talismans?

Ghost Being itself couldn't leave footprints like humans, but if it was a ghost that was driven by humans, then it was different.

There were some methods to exorcise ghosts recorded in the Compendium of Evil Theurgy. The so-called exorcism had two meanings.

Because this drive itself was a word with two meanings.

One was to drive, the other was to disperse.

Driving this was also known as the technique to control ghosts. This method was also used to make it easier to distinguish between the two.
