Chapter Twenty-Three: Night of Horror

"Corpse!" A terrifying and miserable howl, like a starting gun, instantly broke the silence of the night, and soon, the Zhang family's compound became a pot of porridge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoCountless cries for help, shouts, and screams sounded one after another, making the lights in the homes of the townspeople near the Zhang's compound turn on little by little. Countless townspeople were awakened by the terrifying shouts, and for a moment, the cries of chickens and dogs, the cries of children, the shouting of scolding, and the sound of fleeing footsteps quickly ignited the deepest fears in people's hearts.

Many people still can't figure out what happened, so they were made furious by the countless shouts of "deceitful corpses", and they couldn't distinguish the real from the fake under impulse, so they fled with the crowd outside the town with their families.

Fear is contagious, and the whole town seems to be enveloped in endless fear at once, and the town's already small streets are bustling with people fleeing for their lives. All kinds of children's cries, adults' shouts, offended yells, and urges rang out in one place.

It wasn't until after a stick of incense that the lieutenant finally found dozens of young and bold juniors, took the hunting knives at home, and calmed the crowd with sticks. And after grabbing and tying up a few subordinates who escaped from the Zhang family, and gagging their mouths, the crowd really quieted down.

The heads of several large families in the town arrived, and they also brought a large number of family members. After discussing with several big family elders who could make ideas, the lieutenant organized a team of dozens of people, opened a reward, brought knives, guns and sticks, and then lit torches and lanterns and walked towards the Zhang family.

In the middle of the night, even the moon seemed to hide behind the clouds, making the entire Zhang family as eerie as death. At this time, no human voices could be heard in the Zhang family compound, and the silence made people feel chills. The lieutenant led a large group of people to the gate of Zhang's house, but found that the gate was closed, and all the lanterns, including the gate, were extinguished. It was dark and dark, and it exuded a strong sense of ominousness.

The lieutenant gasped. It was noisy just now, but it became so quiet after a while, could it be that all the people in the Zhang family died?

"Third uncle, do you think it's a little cold here?" A descendant with a hunting knife leaned forward with a torch and asked.

I don't think I think it's long anymore, but when I hear what Housheng said, I really feel that it feels swishing here, which makes people's hairs stand up. But after decades of growth, how can you show cowardice in front of a group of younger generations?

"Ergouzi, don't talk nonsense, it's strange that it's not cold in the middle of the night?" After the lieutenant reprimanded, he nodded casually and said, "A few of you, go knock on the door, and if no one answers, you will bang on the door." ”

A few of the descendants who were nodded were obviously unwilling, you looked at me, I looked at you, and no one would be the first to step forward. It wasn't until the chief sank his face that he stepped forward step by step and knocked on the door of the Zhang family.

"When, when, when." The knocker knocking on the door was unusually clear in the silence. But after knocking for a long time, I didn't see half a person come out to say yes, which is too unusual. There is a heart hanging from the inside. Pretending to be calm, he shouted, "Bang the door!" ”

A few of the juniors couldn't, so they had to start banging the door. But how strong is the gate of the Zhang family, how can it be opened by a few juniors with shoulders and legs?

As soon as I looked at it, I knew that these guys were cowardly, so I pretended to show myself! Deng Shi's face turned blue and scolded angrily: "Bear, what are you afraid of so many people? ”

A few juniors are obviously unable to work, and even the chief himself is hairy in this situation, so it is not good to be too harsh. I had to open a reward and said: "One or two silver, who will climb over the wall and open them wide?" ”

The crowd was silent, obviously unwilling to lose their lives for a mere tael of silver. The lieutenant chief almost exploded his lungs, and on weekdays, these guys had already been scolded by him for splitting their heads and covering their faces, but in this situation, they really can't get angry, otherwise people will pick and choose, and he, the lieutenant chief, will sit on wax, and when the time comes, there will be no prestige, how can the lieutenant governor continue?

The chief added the reward again and again, and it was not until it was added to ten taels that someone finally stood up. Li Chang breathed a long sigh of relief, and motioned for a few people to go and build a personal ladder to send the young man into the Zhang family's compound.

There was a "plop", and it was obvious that the young man had already turned in, but he didn't open the door for a long time, and he didn't see the slightest sound. This big group of people is all hairy, how come such a big living person has no sound when he goes in? Just when a group of people started to retreat, behind the gate of Zhang's house, there was a sound of the deadbolt, and the door finally opened.

The captain was annoyed for a while, and the place he climbed in was only a few steps away from the gate, so he had to walk for so long? was about to open the scolding, but found that although it was a young man who opened the door, the situation was wrong!

His face was pale and gray, his eyes were like dead eyes, lifeless, and his standing posture was strange no matter how he looked at it. Captain Li boldly led a large group of people to approach, and just after taking a few steps, his face changed and he shouted: "That person is dead, everyone run!" ”

Although the torch could not shine a few feet squarely, the red blood stains on the young man's shoulder could shine through. The chief of the spirits immediately shouted, and took the lead to run back with his legs dead.

The lieutenant felt that he had never run so fast in his life, and at first he was followed by a large group of footsteps, and gradually the footsteps became less and less, less and less. In the end, only the sound of his own heartbeat was left, and he couldn't even hear his own footsteps.

Li Chang, who felt that the situation was wrong, finally stopped, fixed his eyes to take a look, and suddenly a burst of dead souls rushed - why did he run into the Zhang family compound?

As soon as the lieutenant and a group of young men from the town walked away for most of the hour, there was no news, and the townspeople gathered in front of the town temple began to talk about it. When an hour passed, not only the crowd began to be unable to suppress, but even a few family heads and villagers couldn't sit still.

It is less than two miles from the town office to the Zhang family compound, and the Zhang family is not a palace compound, so it won't take so long to check the situation!

Just when a few villagers felt that something was wrong, and they were ready to arrange for someone to hide in another place overnight, and when it was dawn to invite a Taoist priest to catch ghosts at a high price, there was a commotion in the crowd outside, and someone shouted: "It's the captain who is back!" Captain, they're back! ....”

The crowd was full of joy, and it was obvious that a large group of them could return safely, which meant that the Zhang family was not in a big situation. Several villagers also walked out of the office when they heard the sound, and when they were ready to ask about the situation, some people couldn't wait to run towards the returning team.

"Don't come closer!" Just as a few townspeople were about to approach the lieutenant and his party, suddenly a loud roar came from the sky, startling everyone. Then a fiery red spirit rune flew diagonally from the sky, and flew straight towards the chief and his group.

A burst of golden light flashed, and the chief and his party, who were originally good, turned into paper figures and fell to the ground. Scared a few of the nearest townspeople who had been leaning on it, "Ah! He collapsed to the ground with a thud. And the rest of the townsfolk weren't much better. One by one, they were colorless, and they almost wanted to escape.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! It seems that the poor road is still too late! A trumpet sounded, and two Taoist priests, one big and one small, appeared out of thin air with a woman dressed as a bride and appeared out of thin air where the paper figure fell. (To be continued.) )
