Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 95 Nightspring Town

Out of low-key considerations, Xing Tianyu put on sunglasses today, covering his eyes with golden pupils.

Standing at the entrance of the airport, Xing Tianyu was a little anxious and dazed. He was eager to know what was written in Qin Ming's will, and he was eager to know if he was really thinking too much. The sense of crisis caused him to fall into non-stop thinking, until it was his turn to go through the security check, he suddenly came back to his senses.

Put the suitcase on the security check, and was about to pass, when the security checker suddenly sounded an alarm.

not good!Xing Tianyu suddenly screamed that he was going to suffer, and suddenly he heard that his two short swords were still in the suitcase.

Although the short sword is not a prohibited item such as a gun or bomb, it is still a kind of weapon. It is fine if you keep it at home, but if you bring it on the plane, you will be in trouble if it is found out.

The security inspectors over there didn't seem to be very nervous. It seemed that they often encountered such situations. A young female security inspector in her early 20s walked towards Xing Tianyu and said with a smile, "Mr. Open the box so we can check."

Xing Tianyu opened the suitcase hesitantly. Just as the security inspector was looking into the suitcase, he suddenly lowered his sunglasses, lowered his head and stared at the other person's eyes, and the soul-absorbing eyes-activated.

"Comrade, there is nothing wrong with my box?"

The security inspector looked into his eyes, was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to check the suitcase again, and replied. "Your box—well, it's all right."

She scratched her head in a daze, as if she was a little surprised that she was absent-minded just now, and smiled at Xing Tianyu embarrassedly, indicating that he could go over.

Fortunately, Xing Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he has a supernatural power, otherwise this will be bad.

Boarding the plane without any danger, Xing Tianyu felt a little bit emotional, no wonder everyone wants super powers, it feels great to have super powers, even if it is just the most common hypnosis (well, actually it is not at all It is not ordinary), and it can also allow oneself to obtain convenience that ordinary people cannot obtain at all. This feeling of walking outside the law and detached from ordinary people is undoubtedly intoxicating.

And it's just because I'm just an ordinary person, imagine how many great things I can do if I'm an agent or spy, using this ability.

Xing Tianyu couldn't help thinking about it again, and amidst a roar, the plane slowly flew away from the runway.

A few hours later, the plane landed at the nearest airport to the destination. Walking out of the airport, Xing Tianyu looked at the cloudy sky, it seemed that it was going to rain, although it was noon, there was no sunshine at all, which made him A cloud could not help but cast a shadow over his heart, and he took out a notebook from his pocket, which recorded the location of the funeral.

The funeral was held in Qin Ming's hometown, a place called Yequan Town, which belongs to a county-level city that Xing Tianyu has never heard of - Moyan County. According to the introduction on the travel map, the name probably originated from The black mountains near this small town are named after a kind of stone that can be used to make inkstones. In ancient times, they were considered a little famous place in the eyes of literati, but as modern inkstones were eliminated, the name also changed. became meaningless.

The administrative area of ​​Moyan County is very large, but the location of the county seat is very small. It is almost impossible to see where it is located on the map. A small red dot in a narrow valley sandwiched between two mountain ranges, except In addition to some flat land in the urban area, in addition to mountains or mountains, plus a few rivers that pass through this place, the terrain becomes more and more complicated.

There are still several towns around the county seat, but Yequan Town is far away from these human-inhabited areas. Among them, the location of Yequan Town can be considered extremely remote.

Xing Tianyu sighed, it seemed that he was about to arrive in Yequan Town, and he was a bit upset.

The complicated terrain brought inconvenience to the traffic. After Xing Tianyu got out of the airport, he took a taxi for half an hour, and then started to take the train. After taking the train, he took the bus again. He came to the county seat of Moyan County, but when he asked about Yequan Town, where Qin Ming’s hometown is, the people at the station told him that he had to take another train to get there, or he would have to stay in a hotel for a day and wait until tomorrow. Set off.

Xing Tianyu hesitated again and again, but decided to set off overnight. He really wanted to know what happened to Qin Ming, and he really wanted to settle the matter early.

The railway station in Moyan County is a very simple and small station. He waited for half an hour, during which time he made a bowl of instant noodles to fill his stomach, before the train finally arrived.

The train is a very old-fashioned carriage. Xing Tianyu has never sat in it, and he has only seen it in some old movies. It seems to be a product of the 80s and [-]s of the last century. He originally thought that this thing was out of print, but it seems In some unknown remote areas, these old trains are still performing their mission.

Xing Tianyu got on the train without hesitation, and the way of selling train tickets was also very primitive. A skinny old man acted as the conductor and charged according to the station. When he heard that Xing Tianyu was going to Yequan Town, he immediately voted for the ticket Give me a look of pity.

"It takes one hour to get to Yequan Town, 25 yuan, there is no direct bus to Yequan Town, but you can get off at Erdaoling Station, and then take the bus to Yequan Town, but—" The conductor hesitated , which immediately aroused Xing Tianyu's curiosity.

"What is Yequan Town talking about?" Xing Tianyu hurriedly handed over a cigarette. The old man took the cigarette and sniffed it, but put it behind his ears instead of smoking it. I don’t know much there, most of them are just hearsay and echoing others’ opinions, but I happen to know some allusions in it, today you are asking the right person,” said the old man, and then introduced it mysteriously.

It turns out that this Yequan Town is an ancient town, and it has a history of hundreds of years. Because of the high mountains and far away rivers, it is a place that tax collectors would not want to go to in the past, but because of this, it has become a paradise. It is peaceful, but since the reform and opening up, this advantage has become a disadvantage. The transportation is inconvenient and the products are not abundant. Yequan Town can be said to have nothing to ask for, and many young people have left there.

A few years ago, the county said it wanted to develop the tourism industry, so it wanted to start construction and repair several artificial scenic spots in Yequan Town. Unexpectedly, several accidents occurred. No one knew exactly what happened, but the county quickly covered it up. It is obviously not a good thing to see what happened and give up the half-developed project.

The legend of Night Spring Town began at that time. Everyone rumored that there were wild ghosts in Night Spring Town, or there were some monsters under the town. People generally have a negative view of Yequan Town, thinking that it is a "bad" place. However, no one can say clearly what is bad about it. It is just an inexplicable hostility, and even People who moved out of Yequan Town often have a strange look, as if they have done something shameful.

But there is one thing that is indisputable. Since then, Night Spring Township has declined hopelessly. Most of the only young people in the town have left there, and even entire families have moved out, as if they wanted to Fleeing from something terrible, only some lonely old people with nowhere to go still live there, but it is estimated that they are almost dead in the past few years, and after losing most of the residents, the old people in Night Spring Town The building has become more and more dilapidated with time and wind and rain. Basically, it is almost like a ghost town now.
