Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 770

"Come and hold my hand." Li Teng said to Zhang Mengdi.

Soon, a cold hand reached out following the sound, touched Li Teng's body, then touched Li Teng's hand and grabbed it.

There was also a child's hand that came over and grabbed Li Teng's pants.

"Husband! Its hands are cold! It's a ghost! Push it away and follow me!" Zhang Mengdi's anxious voice came from the other road.

"Her hands are very cold, but her hands have always been so cold!" Li Teng sneered and clenched the cold hand that held him.

These ghosts have no physical body and can only imitate the voices of living people in the dark and let them hold hands. If they don't dare to hold hands, they will definitely reveal their secrets.

In addition, Li Teng was still very familiar with the feel of Zhang Mengdi's hand. They were an old married couple. If he couldn't feel his wife's hand with his eyes closed, he would be a 100% scumbag.

"Thank you, husband, for your trust." Zhang Mengdi took Li Teng's hand and continued running towards home.

Her cold hands were slowly warmed by Li Teng.

It was warmed together, and of course her heart.

Finally, the family returned to the courtyard gate.

Just as he entered the courtyard, at an inconspicuous place above the courtyard wall, a talisman suddenly burned and quickly turned into ashes.

"The ghost is too fierce. The Taoist priest's talisman is not very powerful. Even if we hide at home, it will not be much different from being in the village." Li Teng frowned as he looked at the burning talisman.

"What should we do?" Zhang Mengdi was also panicked.

"Light the lights first." Li Teng said to Zhang Mengdi.

The two entered the courtyard, closed the courtyard door, then entered the main room, closed the main room door, Zhang Mengdi searched around, found a match, and wanted to light the kerosene lamp.

However, as soon as the match was struck, it immediately went out.

The door of the main room is obviously closed, but there is a cold wind coming out.

"Has the fire in the kitchen been turned off?" Li Teng thought of something and asked Zhang Mengdi quickly.

"It shouldn't be completely out, right? There are a lot of briquettes in it." Zhang Mengdi answered Li Teng.

"Let's go, take the oil lamp, let's go to the kitchen." Li Teng said to Zhang Mengdi, then picked up Shen Mengying, who was still unconscious, opened the door of the main room, and walked towards the kitchen in the dark.

The kitchen was also dark, but after fidgeting with firewood, there were still some unburned coals in the stove that gave off a faint red light, but it looked like it would go out soon.

Li Teng found a recliner and put the unconscious Shen Mengying on it to support her.

Then he stuffed some dry pine needles into the stove, and soon a fire was ignited in the stove. Then he put some briquettes in. After the briquettes were burned red, Li Teng found a brazier and put the burning briquettes in. The briquettes were put into the brazier, and more briquettes were put in.

The fire from the brazier illuminated the kitchen.

"There were a lot of people trying to catch Aunt Shen just now, but now they're all hiding." Nana said to Li Teng.

"After these briquettes are burned, they have the effect of exorcising ghosts, which is better than talismans. But those smelly Taoist priests didn't tell us what the effect of the magic circle was..." Li Teng recalled the scene at the entrance of the village.

There are five or six such briquette fires at the entrance of the village.

I guess there must be someone in the village who knows that these briquettes can drive away ghosts, but the reason why they don't tell them... is probably because they are afraid that every household will know about it and burn coal in large quantities, resulting in insufficient briquettes produced by the coal mine, right?

It seems that if I can earn points again tomorrow, I need to exchange them for more briquettes.

"Is she okay?" Zhang Mengdi looked at Shen Mengying, who had been unconscious on the recliner.

Li Teng checked Shen Mengying's breathing and pulse, but they still felt very weak.

"You shouldn't let her leave the village." Zhang Mengdi whispered.

It was not easy for Li Teng to explain this to Zhang Mengdi... saying that Shen Mengying was just a cannon fodder who came to help him complete plot tasks?

Although Zhang Mengdi and Nana are NPCs, after Li Teng entered the plot world, he still treated them as family members.

"She will be fine, I will cure her." Li Teng answered Zhang Mengdi after being silent for a while.

"Would you like to feed her some hot water?" Zhang Mengdi asked Li Teng.

After Shen Mengying entered the plot world, she instinctively resisted Zhang Mengdi. However, as the plot NPC, Zhang Mengdi seemed to accept the current situation of polygamy in this mountain village and did not show dissatisfaction with Shen Mengying. On the contrary, she was more concerned about Shen Mengying after she fell into coma. safety.

"Bring me a drink and I'll try it." Li Teng nodded.

Zhang Mengdi brought a glass of hot water over, and Li Teng gave Shen Mengying a sip.

Shen Mengying instinctively drank the water. It seemed that the situation was better than expected.

I don't know if it was the effect of the fire, or the fire of the briquettes that drove away the ghosts. Without the attacks of the ghosts, Shen Mengying's breathing and pulse were stronger than before.

It's definitely not appropriate for the family to be in the kitchen all the time.

Li Teng moved the brazier to the bedroom, then carried Shen Mengying into the bedroom and placed it on the bed.

He also carried most of the briquettes from home and added briquettes to the brazier at any time.

One window was opened, and the door leading to the main room was also open to avoid poisoning due to lack of oxygen in the room.

Because of Nana, Li Teng knew that the fire burning coal briquettes could drive away ghosts. The Taoist priests must know that, and the village cadres in the village should also know.

It is estimated that ordinary villagers may not know much.

The lonely ghosts wandering in these villages at night are not very aggressive, so they did not arouse the villagers to be too vigilant. The Taoist priest did not remind the villagers too much in this regard, and only asked the villagers not to leave their homes at night. .

But these lonely ghosts are not completely without fighting power. When a person is weak, they will swarm up, trying to devour the energy of the soul and seize control of the body.

Fortunately, Nana saw this scene and let Li Teng know what was going on and how he could use burning briquettes to deal with it.

The next step is to find a way to stock up on briquettes.

In addition, we must find a way to wake up Shen Mengying and ask her what she saw and what she encountered at the entrance of the village. Perhaps that is the key to solving this plot mission.

Let's see if she wakes up tomorrow morning.

Li Teng didn't have much to think about her current situation.

"For safety's sake, everyone will sleep in this room together at night." Li Teng said to Zhang Mengdi and Nana.

"Okay! Okay! I want to sleep between mom and dad!" Nana looked very excited.

Zhang Mengdi had no objections.

After night falls in the mountain village, everything is dark.

No mobile phones, no Internet, no TV, no entertainment of any kind.

Chapter 771

So, after settling in, the family had nothing to do but sleep.

"Dad, tell me a story." Nana lay between Li Teng and Nana and asked Li Teng.

"OK……

"Once upon a time there was a mountain, a temple on the mountain, and a monk in the temple...

"The monk married three wives...

"One day, he said to the eldest wife, go get a bucket of water..."

Li Teng didn't know any fairy tales, so he could only make them up.

"A monk cannot marry a wife." Zhang Mengdi corrected from the side.

"I'm talking about...foreign monks." Li Teng thought for a while and added an explanation.

"Can a foreign monk marry a wife?" Zhang Mengdi was a little confused.

"Mom, don't interrupt!" Nana listened with interest.

"..."

Li Teng's story didn't hypnotize Nana. Instead, it hypnotized Zhang Mengdi.

Nana became more and more energetic, letting Li Teng talk one after another.

In the end, Li Teng was too sleepy. He added coal to the brazier, went back to bed and lay down, almost unable to hold himself up.

"Dad, don't sleep. Can I tell you a story?" Nana pulled Li Teng's eyelids hard to prevent him from closing his eyes.

"good."

"The little rabbit went to take a boat and met a big bad wolf punting the boat. The big bad wolf said, "You feed me, so I let you take the boat..." Nana began to tell the fairy tale.

Li Teng started fighting with Sleepy Skin again.

Nana lay on Li Teng with bright eyes. When she saw Li Teng closing his eyes, she stretched out her hand to open his eyes.

"There is a house in the village. There is a stone behind the house. There is a shining thing under the stone. It is round, half white and half black. I told my mother, but she didn't believe it..."

Nana continued to tell the story.

"Nana, what did you just say?"

Li Teng vaguely woke up when he heard what Nana had just said.

"Little rabbit..."

"It's not a bunny, it's a house, a stone, something shiny, round, half white and half black." Li Teng reminded Nana.

"Well, there is a shiny thing under the stone. It is round, half white and half black." Nana nodded.

"Do you still remember where that stone is?" Li Teng asked again.

"I know, it's the shabby house behind the yard." Nana replied.

"Nana quietly took her father to have a look. Can we find that round, shiny thing that's half white and half black and play with it?" Li Teng suggested to Nana.

"OK!"

"Keep your voice down, shush...don't wake mom up."

"Yeah, keep your voice down, shush..." Nana nodded quickly.

Li Teng carried an earthen pot with some briquettes in it for lighting. He also found an iron handle, and then led Nana out quietly.

Nana was very familiar with the terrain. After leaving the courtyard, she took Li Teng around to the back of the courtyard, walked more than a hundred meters up the slope, and came to a dilapidated house that had been in disrepair.

The dilapidated house also has a small courtyard, and most of the courtyard wall has collapsed. It was obviously built by the villagers in the past, but maybe the owner has left or passed away, and the house has gradually become abandoned.

Nana led Li Teng to the back of the yard.

There is a big stone at the back of the yard, half of which is under the ground.

Nana pointed to the big stone and said that the half white and half black disk was under the stone.

Li Teng placed the earthen pot with the briquettes next to him, then picked up the shovel and started digging out the soil next to the big rock. He dug out the soil next to the big rock bit by bit, and dug a big hole next to it.

Then he pushed the big stone hard, trying to push the big stone away.

Can't push.

Keep digging, keep pushing.

Half an hour passed.

Nana was so sleepy that she lay down on another rock next to her and seemed about to fall asleep.

Li Teng said he would take her back, but she shook her head and was unwilling to go back. She wanted to wait for Li Teng to dig out the disk.

After another ten minutes, Nana fell asleep on the stone.

Li Teng had no choice but to take her home and place her next to Zhang Mengdi. Then he left the yard and returned to the stone.

Keep digging.

After another half an hour, the big stone was pushed into the pit next to it.

Li Teng started digging the soil under the big rock again, shoveling carefully.

Finally, Li Teng dug out a metal disc from the ground.

It's a Bagua plate, one side is black gold, the other side is silver, and it's engraved with strange runes. It's very simple and heavy.

"This should be a magic weapon to suppress ghosts, right?

"I just...don't know how to use it..."

Li Teng took the Bagua plate to the light of the coal briquettes, looked at it, and touched the surface of the plate.

No reaction.

It seems that we can only wait until dawn tomorrow and ask Nana if she has any way to use this magic weapon.

After a while, Li Teng felt something was not right.

Its daybreak?

No, it's not that bright, it has a bit of a shimmer.

It got dark relatively early. Even if he had been digging rocks for two hours, it was only around midnight now, right? It's at least one o'clock at night, but why is it a little bright?

Li Teng looked up at the sky...

A huge phantom of the Bagua Pan appeared in the world!

It’s exactly the same as the Bagua disk in his hand!

Li Teng tried touching the Bagua disk in his hand again, but there was no response from the Bagua disk in the air.

…

Village entrance.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! What a powerful Dao Yun! Is it the Qiankun Tai Chi Bagua Pan?"

The old man in Taoist robe looked at the Bagua disk in the sky with a shocked expression.

“Is there a person with powerful magic power hidden in this village that I don’t know about?

"Impossible! If there is someone with such powerful magic, these lonely ghosts will not dare to stay in the village, and the demons outside will not dare to invade the village at night..."

After a while, the old man in Taoist robes looked into the village with confusion.

"Taoist Priest, what is the Qiankun Tai Chi Bagua Pan?" A young Taoist priest asked the old man in Taoist robes.

"The long-lost ancient Taoist artifact." The old man in Taoist robes answered the Taoist priest.

"Wow! It can't be hidden in the village, right? If it is found, wouldn't the trouble in the village be solved?" The little Taoist priest had a fanatical expression on his face.

"How can ancient artifacts be driven by my cultivation?" The old man in Taoist robes smiled bitterly and shook his head.

…

After a while, the shadow of the Bagua Disk in the sky dissipated.

The surroundings fell into darkness again.

Li Teng continued to study the Bagua disk in his hand, but no matter how he touched it, he could no longer make a huge shadow appear in the sky.

There is no way for it to change.

"Forget it, let's go back first. We'll talk about it at dawn tomorrow." Li Teng put away the Bagua tray and quickly returned home.

Zhang Mengdi and Nana were both fast asleep. Shen Mengying was unconscious, but her breath and pulse were almost back to normal.

Li Teng added some briquettes to the brazier and hid the Bagua plate under the quilt. After drinking several bowls of water, he lay down on top of the Bagua plate and fell asleep.
