Chapter 620: A Call from the Ground (1)
But if it's true that the whole village is now lacking souls, then where are those hooked souls!?
It is difficult to be taken away by the messengers of hell.
I asked the old man, "Will the messengers of the underworld take away the remnants of the villagers?" ”
The old man glanced at me, "Those are all working for the king of Hades, unless the person is dead, they will come to seduce the soul, and the soul of the living who has not yet lived will go back to find death." ”
"Oh." I replied timidly.
The Emissaries of Hades do not hook the souls of such living people, unless, of course, they will attract the attention of the Emissaries of Hades when they die.
So where are the souls of the villagers?
Can you bring it back all at once!?
I was squatting in the corner with the old man, and I heard a rustling movement from the old ancestral hall, and I didn't know what the villagers were doing.
This movement lasted for two or three hours, until the big rooster in the village crowed, and the black cat lazily arched its back and stretched its waist, and meowed rapidly.
As soon as the cat barked twice, the villagers came out of the old ancestral hall one after another, and then returned to their respective homes in a posture of "sleepwalking".
The black cat followed the villagers, headed towards the end of the village, and soon disappeared into the night.
At the moment when the black cat disappeared, the old man turned around and walked around the ancestral hall.
I hastened to follow.
On this day, I was sloppy, and it was about to light up, and my fear in my heart was also relieved a lot.
However, because the yin qi in this old ancestral hall is very strong, and probably the last experience in this hall made me feel palpitations.
I always feel that the wind is gusting from the beginning of entering the house, and the back of my neck is cold.
And two coffins were placed in the old ancestral hall.
The old man walked to the front, entered the old ancestral hall and scolded his mother, I stretched out my head and saw it at a glance.
Mom, the lid of the coffin in this old ancestral hall is not even covered.
Lying inside was Aunt Shufen, who had not yet been buried, and in the other coffin was the old woman Liu who was bare and had sores on her head.
Last time, the old man used two straws to get Ye Siming to make a stand-in.
To be honest, those two white muddy eyes are scary enough.
After death, the look and appearance sent chills down my spine.
What makes me a little curious is how Uncle Zhou didn't have a single person to keep the spirit.
But the old lady Liu's death was weird.
Aunt Shufen had a murderous corpse in our house, and it is normal not to dare to be here at night, besides, where does the old Uncle Zhou dare to stay here for the bad things he did.
The things inside the old ancestral hall were well arranged, but they were covered with dust. Now the dust is quite even, and no one has touched anything inside.
It's just that the room is full of villagers' footprints, densely packed.
I searched around the outhouse with the old man, and then went to the back of the ancestral hall to look around, my face full of doubt.
I saw that he seemed to be looking for something, and quickly asked him in a whisper what he was looking for?
The old man looked up at me and whispered, "Let me ask you, is there any secret passage in your old ancestral hall?" ”
Secret passages?
I laughed dumbly: "This old ancestral hall shouldn't have that kind of thing, right?" ”
"If there is no secret room, how can such a small room fit so many villagers?"
He stopped me with a word.
I glanced around and whispered, "Anyway, this room is so big, let's look for it." As I spoke, I squatted on the ground and gently tapped the ground with my hands. If there is a secret chamber underground, it will definitely make a hollow sound.
"Hmm." The old man said, "The sooner the better, it's not good to be found at dawn." ”
