"Excuse me, honored guest, if you want your friends to be safe, you'd better go in and talk to me." The old woman looked at me for some hesitation and said again.

I did hesitate, I didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, but I did want to find my group of friends as soon as possible, so I struggled a little and slowly walked into the room.

It's not the first time I've been to this house. In the afternoon, I woke up and searched from house to house, but in the whole village, I didn't see a single figure, and now the natives of the village suddenly appeared, and although I had some doubts in my heart, I still went in in a gloomy way.

Exactly like what I saw in the afternoon, there was a stone bed out of this room, there was nothing, and the house had no roof, and I wondered how these people would sleep in bed if it rained.

"Boom!" The old woman also followed, pointed to the stone bed on the side, and said, "Distinguished guest, please be seated." ”

"I don't have time to spend time with you! Tell me, what the hell is going on. I said unceremoniously.

The old woman smiled sinisterly at me, and then slowly sat down on the stone bed.

"This village, a long time ago, was called Liudao Village." The old woman said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, my flustered heart suddenly calmed down.

Many people know about the Six Paths, and I am certainly no exception. The so-called six realms refer to: the path of heaven, the path of asura, the path of the earth, the path of animals, the path of hungry ghosts, and the path of hell.

But the six ways are put forward by Buddhism, and the Maoshan warlock is Taoism, Taoism and Buddhism have a deep relationship, but there are many contradictions between each other.

Buddhism often says that among the six paths, the Tao and the Tao are reincarnated with each other, and the original is the Hell Dao, and the people of the Hell Dao, when they practice the Dao for a certain time, they can enter the Hungry Ghost Dao, and after the Hungry Ghost Dao is completed, they can go to the Animal Dao, and the Animal Dao is cultivated to the Human Dao, and the Human Dao is cultivated to the Heavenly Dao, and after the Heavenly Dao, it is the Shura Dao.

Of course, this is a relatively smooth process, during which there is no big chaos, once there is a big chaos, it will do the opposite, for example, if the people of the human Dao make any mistakes, they will retreat to the animal Dao, and it may even be hell, and the people of the Heavenly Dao will make mistakes, and they will also be beaten into the human Dao, or the Animal Dao, so that the six realms of reincarnation, the Tao and the Dao complement each other.

In our eyes, the Heavenly Dao is the heaviest stage, and the Shura Dao is those who have gone wrong when cultivating into the Heavenly Dao or the spirit Yin and the like, and they have gone mad and entered the Shura Dao, resulting in entering the Shura Dao.

And in our eyes, the so-called Heavenly Dao refers to the fact that after a person's Taoism reaches a certain realm, he can live for a long time, or some spirits, and in the case of the Taoism is elevated, he will also live for a long time, and during this period of life, he will do more good deeds, accumulate good karma, and finally be named a 'god' by the people of the Tao in the world, and worship it in temples or homes, and worship it every day, resulting in the elimination of the suffering of the cycle of life and death, and thus becoming the way of heaven.

Compared with Buddhism, we Taoist people prefer to believe that the animal path is the beginning, and then, some animals of the animal path evolve into the human path and the assura path (spirits, yin things, etc.), and after the death of the human path or the animal path Shura path, they fall into the path of hungry ghosts, and they are divided according to what they did in life, and they directly enter reincarnation, step into the way of the world or the path of Shura or the path of animals, or continue to stay in the path of hungry ghosts.

This seems to be a reincarnation between the five realms, so there is no such thing as the way of heaven, the way of heaven actually does not exist in the eyes of our Taoist people, that is to say, in this world, there is no real 'god', the so-called god, but there are more people who believe in it, and those who do more good deeds are sealed, or spirits and yin things, and it happens that these people, spirits, and yin things have a very high Taoism and live longer, so they are respected as 'gods' by the people of the human world, and they can barely be regarded as having a heavenly way.

However, the way of heaven mentioned in Taoism is not the way of the Tao that Buddhism says, and the way of heaven lasts forever and is immortal.

In the eyes of the Taoist sect, the people of the Heavenly Dao will also die.

The old woman in front of me mentioned the six paths, so for a while, I thought a little too much.

"Boom! Liudao Village, Liudao Village, do you know what it means? My distinguished guest! "The old woman's ugly face was jealous and distorted, and in this narrow illusion, it looked extremely terrifying.

"Now I don't want to discuss this with you." I didn't have time to answer these words, so I asked directly, "Just say, where did you lock up those friends of mine?" ”

"Honorable guest, can you finish listening to me?" The old woman said with a smile.

I don't have any choice, Han Duo and they are still in her hands, life and death are uncertain, what else can I say?

After nodding helplessly, "You say, I'll listen." ”

"Boom!" The old woman smiled like a sign, and then slowly brought up a story about the ghost village (Liudao Village).

The Liudao Village (Ghost Village) mentioned by the old woman has existed for a long, long time, when the matriarchal clan commune was at its peak, and a group of rotten people wandered to this place.

I was very skeptical about the old woman's age, but I guess she should have heard from her ancestors, not experienced it herself.

In ancient times, the territory of the continent was very wide, and the crustal plates and plates were not very stable, and natural and man-made disasters often occurred, so people's feudal superstition was more serious.

Chen Li once said that the people in the ghost village only leave women, not men, in fact, Chen Li is not completely lying, at least the old woman also mentioned this, but it is just a civilization inherited from the matriarchal clan commune, and this place has lived in the mountains for a long time, and the ancestral teachings left by their ancestors have made them persist until now, which is really rare.

The old woman also mentioned a phenomenon that more and more people are entering the village.

This is not difficult to understand, after the reform and opening up, the great leader put forward the principle of 'to get rich, first build roads', the above policy came down, at that time there were relatively few corrupt officials, and the implementation was ruthless and thorough.

Highways have indeed brought a lot of convenience, and indeed improved the living standards of the people of the whole country, but they have also destroyed the tranquility of many places, although in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and from any point of view, at least 99 percent of the people have enjoyed the benefits of this policy.

But there are exceptions to everything, and there are a small number of people who are very distressed because of this matter, such as the villagers of this Liudao Village.

The improvement of people's living standards, coupled with the convenience of highways, led to Liudao Village slowly being found by some adventurous teams. Liudao Village has been unstable since then.

There are very few villagers in Liudao Village, although they have not been able to solve the problem of food and clothing, but they are self-sufficient, and they can barely maintain, for their group of natives, everything that enters the village is food, so in their eyes, those outsiders are actually similar to wild beasts.

With the first clash between the people of the village and outsiders, the people of the village became accustomed to eating human flesh, and in their opinion, they ate just a beast like them.

However, the first person who really found out that he accidentally ate the same kind was the old woman in front of me, that is, the village chief of Liudao Village, after discovering this incident, she tried to communicate with the villagers, and the villagers improved a lot, but it was inevitable that there would be contradictions between outsiders and villagers, and once it happened, the murderous side of the villagers was reflected.

Even if they know that they are of the same kind, their subconscious will only exclude those outsiders from the ranks of the same kind, so there is no discomfort.

This situation lasted until Uncle Zhong came here!

I guess that Liudao Village had not yet been discovered by large-scale tourist gangs at that time, because the roads were not as developed as they are now, and it was impossible to send tour groups to a place that was only a day's journey away from Liudao Village.

And after Uncle Zhong came here unexpectedly, he was also the one who lived in Liudao Village for the longest time, but after all, Uncle Zhong is different from the people here, and it is absolutely impossible to do the thing of cannibalism.

During the time when Uncle Zhong lived here, the old woman was still a young girl, and although she was not related to beauty, she was full of curiosity about unknown affairs, so she learned the language of modern civilization.

At that time, there were not a few people in Liudao Village who learned this language, but with the passage of time, one by one, the people who learned it left the personnel one after another.

Uncle Zhong stayed in Liudao Village for a long time, and did not leave with him until the next wave of people inexplicably broke into the village.

When Uncle Zhong came back to this village again, he brought a group of people, but at that time, a group of people had already come to Liudao Village, and there was a conflict with the villagers here, resulting in all the people being killed, and the old woman felt that it should not be wasted.

I guess that it was also because of this incident that those travelers who had been treated by human flesh spread the word, causing Liudao Village to be called a 'ghost village' by the outside world.

According to the old woman, the villagers of Liudao Village have actually changed their original intentions by the old woman, and they don't want to eat outsiders anymore, but the difference in cultural level leads to some contradictions between outsiders and people in the village.

At this point in the story, the old woman paused, "Distinguished guests, we villagers of Liudao Village, don't bully people, but we are not afraid of people, we are cannibals, but we only eat those who have committed the most heinous crimes, you tell me frankly, are you?" ”
