Ghost Servant-
After all, this was the ghost territory of the Wedding Dress Tree. It was not strange for ghost servants to appear here. Or rather, if there were no ghost servants here, it would really make him wary and pay attention.
"Green Revolving Lake, Green Revolving Village…it really is this place. There are some things that I should have thought of long ago.”
Many of the questions and mysteries in Yuan's heart had been solved after coming to this ghost realm.
Yuan glanced at the confused expression on Little Wood and Zeng Xuecai's beautiful face. Her eyes were deep as she looked out the window at the pitch-black scene outside.
"I know why there were so many mistakes in the Yin Yang Hall's investigation of this supernatural event. I also know what's going on with this wedding dress tree and the Qing Rao village under our feet.”
Now, the seemingly unrelated key information in his mind was connected.
For example, why did the uprooted wedding dress tree mysteriously disappear in the seal of the Yin Yang Hall?
For example, the " Resurrection " in the Yin Yang Hall's records…
For example, the changes in the water quality of Qingrao Lake…
For example…
"I've seen the name Qing Rao Village in a file before, but I've never connected them together before.”
" In the files of the Yin Yang Hall?!"
"Not really." Yuan shook her head and said with a deep expression,""It's the supernatural files of the Yin Yang Agency."
" Yin Yang Agency?!"
Xiao Mu and Zeng Xuecai had heard of the Yin Yang Hall, the Yin Yang Company, and the Yin Yang School, but this was the first time they had heard of the Yin Yang Dormitory.
"It was an organization of Onmyoji that belonged to the royal family and nobles a thousand years ago, which was the Heian era. The current Yin-Yang Hall, Yin-Yang Company, and Yin-Yang School are all branches of it.”
"At that time, there was a file about supernatural events in the Yin Yang Agency that recorded the incident in Qing Rao Village.”
These were all memories from a thousand years ago. They were the memories of the young Ahn Seimei who was working hard in the Yin Yang Agency.
" According to legend, during the Heian Era a thousand years ago, there was a wealthy village in the north, extremely far away from the capital. For decades, it had never been disturbed by ghosts and monsters. The people lived there in peace and contentment. This anomaly attracted the attention of the Yin Yang Agency at that time.”
Little Wood and Zeng Xuecai were confused.
The fact that the village had never been invaded by ghosts proved that everything that the village had done was reasonable. It was precisely because of this that the people could live and work in peace and contentment and accumulate considerable wealth.
Yuan could tell that Xiao Mu and Zeng Xuecai were confused.
" You have to know that the era we are currently in is only the beginning of the first outbreak if we divide it according to the supernatural revival. The Heian Era is undoubtedly the peak of the supernatural and ghosts. In the eyes of the ghosts, humans during that period were just a group of bloody food that could be eaten without any restraint. The demons ruling the night is not an empty talk, but a real scene.”
"You can completely imagine that in that era, even a capital city like the capital, which has the strongest Yin-Yang Master power, would be invaded by ghosts without any fear. At that time, that village did not show any signs of being invaded by ghosts. Isn't that extremely abnormal?”
After Yuan's explanation.
That's right!
Little Wood and Zeng Xuecai were enlightened.
That village was like a drop of ink in a puddle of clear water during the era of demons and monsters a thousand years ago. Even a city like Jingdou could not guarantee that it would not be invaded by ghosts, so what guarantee did a small village have?
" At that time, after the investigation of the Yin Yang Agency, we learned that the villagers had an ugly custom. Every year, young girls who died before marriage would wear wedding dresses as sacrifices to the gods. They would be sacrificed to a large locust tree in the village. It was as if this would allow the divine tree in the eyes of the village to protect them. Those young girls would also be able to coexist with the divine tree to protect the village and live forever.”
"Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is just a custom of different funerals. It's not ugly.”Yuan refuted herself first before she changed the topic." A village with a population of no more than 1,000 people, including men, women, children, and old. Where did so many unmarried girls come from to sacrifice themselves to that big locust tree?"”
Suddenly, Xiao Mu and Zeng Xuecai understood the key point and their faces turned pale.
"They sacrificed the villagers?!”
Although the words were filled with doubt, his tone was firm.
Little Mu and Zeng Xuecai looked at the dark existence outside with an indescribable fear. It was a fear of the ugliness of the human heart.
" This ugly custom eventually led to the birth of a tragedy. The big locust tree, which was only a symbol of spiritual sustenance, was no longer satisfied with this. It wanted more sacrifices, and the people of this village used all kinds of names, such as kidnapping, buying, selling, or kidnapping…to sacrifice these girls to the big locust tree.”
" When this incident caught the attention of the Yin Yang Agency, they sent Yin Yang Masters to resolve it. However, when the Yin Yang Masters arrived, the entire Qing Rao Village had already turned into a lake. Everything had disappeared without a trace.”
"The only thing left is the countless evil deeds that this village has caused. There are countless skeletons at the bottom of the lake. There are more than ten thousand of them."
Little Mu and Zeng Xuecai covered their mouths in disbelief.
For his own benefit, he had harmed so many lives.
"According to the Yin-Yang Agency's guess, it should have been either destroyed or sealed by the powerful Yin-Yang Master who passed by. Judging from the current situation, it seems to be the latter.”
Yuan had quite a deep impression of what happened after that. That was because there was " him " among the Onmyoji who came to resolve the matter, or perhaps it was the young Asami Seimei who had followed her master to broaden his horizons.
In the end, this supernatural incident left a four-word comment in the files of the Yin Yang Agency at that time.
Man-made disasters were abominable.
