It seems that Village Chief Li is much more complicated than we thought. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Peng Shiqi and I sat in the back row, listening to what the village chief had just said, I couldn't help but lean towards Peng Shiqi's side, picked up one of his arms to block the front, and the whole person couldn't wait to shrink behind him.
He tilted his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly: "Timid again?"
I nodded like garlic: "It feels as scary as listening to a ghost story." ā
Chaos pretended to vomit blood: "Liangjiang, are you still afraid that we won't be able to protect you?" ā
Village Chief Li also smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't expect it to scare you." ā
"Village Chief, go on." I rested my chin on Peng Shiqi's shoulder, "I'm not scared when I hide behind the big ghost doctor, I still feel a little excited." ā
The air in the car froze for a moment.
Village Chief Li took the lead in breaking the deadlock and continued: "Actually, I have yin and yang eyes, and I can see ghosts since I was a child. ā
"And then?" Chaos asked.
"And then slowly, when I got used to it, I found that new spirits would continue to enter our village, but those spirits, all gathered in one place, that is, near the cliff cave where you went today, and never came out again, knowing that the people in the village began to molt, those ghosts never went to the cliff cave again."
Peng Shiqi played with his fingers and said casually: "However, we didn't see any ghosts in the cave today. ā
"I think it's because they're all dead."
"Ghosts die too?" I shouted out in surprise, but was slapped on the head by Peng Shiqi.
Village Chief Li nodded: "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of why these souls have only been in and out for so many years." ā
Peng Shiqi nodded: "As far as I know, absorbing souls can increase one's mana, but who in your village has such an ability?" ā
Chaos slapped his thigh: "I know!" It's that monster!! ā
Chaos saw that we were all looking at him, so he analyzed it proudly: "When I used a trick to shoot it today, I found that it was a mother, and I was a little merciful, now that I think about it, this monster is probably deliberately showing weakness!" ā
I blinked, confused: "Wasn't it injured before?" Why do you say it's deliberately showing weakness? ā
"It was injured by Qiu Xuchen's people before, and it was easily defeated by us today, it is very likely that it is deliberately showing weakness."
"And what is its purpose?"
"I guess we'd better go back to that cave and have a look." Peng Shiqi said.
Village Chief Li and I moved quickly under the entrainment of the two of them, and it took less than a minute to successfully return to the cave.
There was still no movement in the cave, and the female corpse was still lying there, but the dog-like monster with the black tail was gone!
I hid under Peng Shiqi's arm, forced him to wrap one arm around me, and whispered, "Will it hide in the shadows, or escape?" ā
Peng Shiqi shook his head: "As far as I know, this kind of thing should be the guardian of this coffin, and it will not leave here half a step unless it dies." ā
Village Chief Li walked to the coffin and glanced at the female corpse, and muttered, "Will it be ...... That monster was killed by the soul of this female corpse, and then turned into its appearance? ā
Chaos seemed to be impatient, "Okay, whatever it is, it's none of our business anyway, let's go!" "As he spoke, he was about to get out of the hole.
Peng Shiqi grabbed him: "Wait." Then he closed his eyes and said a few incantations, and in front of us appeared four soldiers in black armor, but they were all cold and their faces were bloodless.
When they saw Peng Shiqi, they bowed their heads and said respectfully, "What do you have to call me and others to come?" ā
Peng Shiqi put on a shelf: "Quickly go and find out the origin of the female corpse in this cave and her guardian beast, and track the whereabouts of that monster, and report to me when there is news." ā
"Yes! Retire! "The neat movements and slogans are also very fast, and at first glance they are not ordinary soldiers.
Chaos Hangerlang whistled on the spot and applauded in passing: "Majestic." ā
Village Chief Li looked light-hearted: "In this case, let's go back first, please come to my house to rest, although the conditions are not very good, but it is more spacious than in the car." ā
We went back to Village Chief Li's house, he came into the house and took out a big watermelon, I couldn't be happy, I didn't expect that there would be watermelons to eat here!
He cut the melon into several large pieces and handed it to us very generously: "There is nothing to entertain you, this is the watermelon I bought at someone else's house, they are all grown at my own home, and they are very sweet." ā
I took the watermelon and was so grateful, God knows how cool it is to have a few bites of watermelon in such a hot time.
Peng Shiqi and Chaos also took the watermelon, I was very curious about whether these two people were ghosts and beasts, whether they would eat watermelon, and how they would eat watermelon if they did, so I stared at them, Peng Shiqi ate very slowly and methodically, as if he was tasting some kind of food, while Chaos ate very exaggeratedly, and I wanted to bury his face directly in the melon.
Seeing that their actions were very contrasting, I couldn't help it, so I laughed out loud, but I choked without paying attention, and even Village Chief Li laughed when he saw me like this.
