At that time, the young people of the whole village moved and fled, and only some of the old, weak, sick and disabled people were left in the village, and they had no ability to escape, so they could only stay in the village and wait for death.

That night, Mr. Liu Ke stayed in an old farmer's house.

The old farmer's ancestors have lived in this village, because of the recent events in the village, the son and daughter-in-law fled the village with their two grandsons, the old farmer is old, and the old man is reluctant to leave, and would rather die at home than die in a foreign land, so he stayed.

But when Mr. Liu Ke asked what was going on in the village, the old farmer didn't dare to speak, but repeatedly told Mr. Liu Ke to leave as soon as possible after tonight and never come back.

Teacher Liu Ke had no choice but to reveal his identity as a Taoist priest in Maoshan, but the old farmer was suspicious and still refused to speak.

In the end, Mr. Liu Ke had to take out his ghost-catching tools, peach wood sword, yellow paper talisman, and cinnabar one by one, and even in the end, Mr. Liu Ke changed into the Taoist uniform of Maoshan Taoist.

The old farmer was dumbfounded, and suddenly burst into tears, and immediately knelt down for Teacher Liu Ke.

The old farmer regarded Mr. Liu Ke as a life-saving straw, wiped his tears and begged Mr. Liu Ke to save their village and save the people in their village.

Then the old farmer told Mr. Liu Ke about the recent events in the village.

The village, now called Xinzhuang, is a newly built village, where the villagers fled from the place of the big locust tree in Shanxi Province, and finally settled here.

It is said that this place used to be called Duzhuang, it is also a village, during the War of Resistance against Japan, the Japanese occupied Duzhuang, burned and plundered, slaughtered all the villagers in the village, burned for three days and three nights, burned the village to the ground, Duzhuang was razed to the ground, forgotten.

The refugees who fled here found that it was located in the plains and the land was fertile, so they decided to settle here and change it to Xinzhuang to make a living from farming.

About half a month ago, Xinzhuang Village began to be haunted.

It is said to be haunted, but this is only speculation by the villagers, because the matter is too strange to be explained by science, and it is not like it is man-made, and the villagers cannot find the reason, so they think it is haunted.

One night half a month ago, when the villagers of Xinzhuang Village were asleep, they suddenly heard a bustling sound in the village, a moment of chattering, a moment of laughter, and a moment of what seemed to be the sound of firecrackers, I don't know what happened.

There is a custom in this Xinzhuang Village, all young people die of illness, they will do a funeral in the middle of the night, and the dead will be buried that night, so the villagers think that someone died in the middle of the night, and the funeral was not taken seriously, but the next morning, some early villagers found that the smoke of the old man Li's house at the head of the village was billowing out, and when he got closer, the old man Li's house was all burned down, and the old man Li's family of seven people were lying in the courtyard horizontally, one by one, with hideous faces, dilated pupils, dark blue and black faces, and frightened facial features. It was like being frightened before he died.

Seven people, tragically wiped out, this is not a trivial matter.

The villager quickly called the police.

But when JC arrived at the scene, he found that except for the looting of Old Man Li's house, there were no traces of a fight at the scene, no bloodstains, no fingerprints, and the murderer did not leave any clues, and what was even more strange was that through the autopsy, it was found that Old Man Li and his son and grandson did not have any wounds on their bodies, and when Old Man Li's wife and daughter-in-law and granddaughter were found, their clothes were stripped naked and naked, but they were not defiled.

If it is a burglary, it will not kill a family of seven.

Moreover, this old man Li's family is honest, and he has never heard of a holiday with anyone, and it doesn't look like a vendetta.

This is puzzling.

But in any case, the cruelty of the murderer's methods is unheard of and terrifying.

For a while, everyone in the village was panicked, and they all pinned their hopes on JC to solve the case and capture the murderer.

But I didn't expect that this was just the beginning, and since that day, the bad news in the village has not stopped.

One night, the family suffered the same as Old Man Li, things were robbed, houses were burned, family members were killed, and the deaths were the same, all with hideous faces, and they seemed to be greatly frightened.

And before the accident, you will hear the sound of chirping and firecrackers, but only the sound is heard, but no one is seen.

No matter how the JC blockade and how it checks, there is no clue.

So he sent the young men of the village to patrol at night.

I really didn't hear any unusual sounds that night, and I thought there would be no more accidents, but the next day, more than a dozen young adults went crazy.

They shrank in the corners of the village, their eyes glazed over, and they were terrified at the sight of people, obviously frightened, and kept shouting ghosts.

So the people in the village began to spread rumors that it was haunted.

It is said that in the past, Duzhuang, those villagers who were killed by the Japanese, the souls of the wrongs are not gone, and they have come back to take revenge.

But in that era, it was the time to break the four olds, who dared to say that it was haunted, and it was impossible to invite any Taoist monks to spend time for the dead villagers of Duzhuang.

So the people in the village, in order to escape the fate of being killed by ghosts, fled from this place one after another, and there was the situation that Mr. Liu Ke encountered when he entered the village.

When Mr. Liu Ke heard this, he felt that something was wrong.

As the saying goes, there is a wrong, and there is a debtor, even if the villagers of Duzhuang turn into ghosts, those villagers who were killed by the Japanese army, even if they are looking for revenge, will not attack the villagers of Xinzhuang now, so it is definitely not the unjust soul of the villagers of Duzhuang.

Teacher Liu Ke thought about it, but he had no clue, and finally asked the old farmer if there was anything special happening in the village before the accident.

The old farmer thought for a long time, and suddenly it occurred to him that the day before the accident, the stone tablet on the dry well at the head of the village exploded.

The old farmer said that at the head of the village in Xinzhuang Village, there was a dry well, which was there before they fled here, but this dry well was pressed by a large stone tablet with a length and width of three meters each.

It may be that the villagers of Yiduzhuang were worried that someone would fall into the well, so they used a stone tablet to cover the dry well.

We didn't pay attention to the stele either, and sometimes we would go up and sit when we passed by it, and the children of the village often played there.

Just half a month ago, the stele exploded for no reason, cracking a crack five centimeters long, and the next day, the stele actually shattered, and all fell into the dry well.

But no one would have thought that the village was haunted, and it had something to do with the stone stele, after all, it was in disrepair and the stele was broken, which was also understandable.

However, Mr. Liu Ke immediately speculated that the root of everything should be in the dry well.

Cultivators know that the well is located underground, the closest to the underworld, so the yin qi is also final, and the dry well is covered by a stone tablet, which is impermeable to the wind, and the yin qi is the easiest to nourish the unclean.

If this is the case, it must be that the unclean things in the dry well have become the climate, and the stone monument has been shaken and harmed.

Therefore, it is imperative to find out what happened and who died in that dry well.

But the old farmer made a mistake.

When they fled here, the dry well already existed, and the original people in Duzhuang were all killed by the Japanese, and no one knew what had happened in this dry well.

But the old farmer mentions a madman.

This madman hid around the village when they came, and was mad and incoherent, not knowing where it was, and not only prevented the fleeing people from entering the village, but he himself refused to enter the village, and often surrounded the village in the middle of the night, howling and weeping bitterly, as if he had been frightened by something.

This madman must know what is going on in the dry well.

Teacher Liu Ke and the old farmer immediately went to find the madman......
