"Back mange!"

Xu Lang was refreshed when he heard this, and sure enough, there were even more unexpected clues in this Chen Huayu!

Chen Huayu completely opened the conversation, probably figured out his position, and began to say everything he knew unabashedly:

"Peach Blossom Village is all people surnamed Chen, but it is better to call it Chenjia Village. There is a traditional custom in their family, that is, when the elderly in the village are old and suffer from incurable diseases, the descendants of the family will be buried with their substitutes on their backs!

Scabies refers to disease, and dorsal scabies is to bury a stand-in in a grave and bury a scabies, so as to achieve the effect of curing diseases.

But this itself is a more superstitious custom, and to put it bluntly, it is similar to the meaning of Chong Chongxi......"

Xu Lang frowned, Chen Huayu's words were clear, and they really explained the ultimate meaning of the back.

In fact, it is an alternative way of rejoicing, which in the ancient countryside, there will always be such a strange custom.

It's just that the back of Peach Blossom Village is much weirder and more terrifying.

However, in Chen Huayu's words, he sniffed out an extremely critical point!

"Stand-in!" What is a stand-in?

Xu Lang voiced his doubts, he knew that the current task was probably going to gradually move towards the final stage as they continued to talk.

Everything that Chen Huayu knows is the prelude to the final link!

When Chen Huayu heard this, he pointed to the mountain-like straw beside him, and Xu Lang immediately reacted.

"A stand-in, a scarecrow?"

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the executors were in an uproar, and everyone was frightened, and they all looked at Chen Huayu at the same time, waiting for his reply.

Chen Huayu nodded faintly, "Not bad!" ”

"Use a scarecrow instead of a corpse to put it in a coffin, and carry it to the coffin for burial in the way of a normal dead person, this is the most official process of the back mange!"

Hiss.......

Everyone gasped, it turned out that the scarecrow that had appeared in their bag since the mission had even started was actually this function!

Xu Lang nodded secretly in his heart, and it was exactly the same as his idea.

The way to survive this mission is to bury the scarecrow with the method of back mange, and transform his own illness into the scarecrow!

Instead, Nameless frowned, and he asked with some confusion: "However, the coffin we carried before, the scarecrow inside can bleed, gasp, and struggle, and that appearance is almost the same size as an adult." ”

Chen Huayu, with hazy eyes, seemed to think of something many years ago, and began to answer nameless questions,

"The person you see me should be in my seventies, but I am actually only 42 years old this year, and I have been trapped in Peach Blossom Village for 20 years, which means that after I carried the coffin, I lost 20 years of life!

At the beginning, the village chief ran out of life, and I thought that he was dead, and as a junior, he was responsible for carrying the coffin, and the host was Uncle Chen, who is still alive today!

At that funeral, I broke the rules and drimmed blood, and in the month after that, I found that my body had undergone unexpected changes, that is, my whole body turned into straw!

After that, I would be on the verge of death every six months, and it was Chen Lingyun and Uncle Chen who maintained my life and kept me half-dead.

After I grew old, one day the village chief came back to life, although his appearance did not change, but he did not have the vicissitudes and tiredness of an old man, but was in good spirits.

After that conversation, he told me everything, and it also made me really see the true face of the people of Peach Blossom Village!

Carrying the coffin is actually to let the coffin bearer drip blood to transform his lifespan into the person in the coffin, so that he can regain his vitality.

And the scarecrow stand-in in the coffin will begin to become like a living person as the funeral progresses step by step, and all you see is an illusion and a bluff! ”

Xu Lang listened very carefully and followed Chen Huayu's train of thought closely, perhaps Chen Huayu knew that the time was tight now, and he didn't say some useless words, every sentence revealed extremely important clues.

And he listened and grasped the point, "Has this apparently supernatural phenomenon been present for a long time, or has it begun after some kind of change?" ”

This method of transforming life force and delaying life is obviously the means of evil spirits, but why the people of Peach Blossom Village can understand and use it accurately is the biggest weird point of this mission!

Chen Huayu nodded, thinking that this young man was the most alert, "Originally, it was just an ordinary custom of the people of Peach Blossom Village. But after a sacrifice thirty years ago, the back was veiled with a strange veil!

I heard from the village chief that thirty years ago they only regarded it as a way to ward off disasters, but after a sacrifice, they attracted the watchful eye of the devil, and the curse began to spread. Sissy

It was also at that time that the lifespan of each of them was rapidly reduced, and the rate of aging was times that of the normal number, and in the face of this strange disease, they could only hope for the back mange.

After an experiment, the village chief found that the original resurrection of the deceased, although the appearance has not changed, but it has really prolonged the lifespan, and those who carry the coffin have quickly withered one by one, as if it is a transition!

So after a long period of trial and accumulation, there are fewer and fewer young people in the village, and more and more elderly people, so they aim at outsiders! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Huayu smiled bitterly, it was obvious that he was the same outsider he used to be.

If it weren't for the fact that he was taken by the village chief's daughter and conceived two children, perhaps he would not be qualified to live until now.

Xu Lang's spirit is getting more and more refreshed, and the clues to his life have exceeded his imagination, and this Chen Huayu has almost explained all the previous doubts.

He has now been able to reconstruct the general appearance of this mission.

Thirty years ago, Peach Blossom Village was just an ordinary village with strange customs, but after a sacrifice, it attracted evil spirits, causing the village to be infected with rapidly aging diseases.

So several core members, led by the village chief, began to look for a way to break the curse, and the back ritual became a supernatural, life-sustaining method under the influence of the power of evil spirits!

The life expectancy of young people has transitioned to that of the elderly, which has led to the fact that there is no longer any young and middle-aged people in the village, and with the sharp decline in population, only those village chiefs, Chen Shugong and others with transcendent status remain.

In the end, they set their eyes on the tourists from outside, coaxed the coffin to carry it, and took their life!

Chen Wenjin, the daughter of Chen Huayu and Chen Lingyun, was deceived by Peach Blossom Village with some kind of lie since she was a child, leading her to believe that her parents were dead, leaving behind a hotel.

But what she didn't know was that her every move was always controlled by the people of Peach Blossom Village, and maybe one day she discovered that there was a strange group in the deep mountains, so she began to take the initiative to intimidate tourists to leave.

But this point was also used by the people of Peach Blossom Village, which led to more and more tourists entering Peach Blossom Village, thus dying tragically!

But Xu Lang didn't care about these in his heart, and now for him, the way to life was close at hand.

Recapture the scarecrow that belongs to them, and then bury them according to the ritual of back scabies, you can get rid of the disease, and thus complete the task ahead of schedule!

However, Xu Lang always felt that something was wrong.

If you follow the procedure of Chen Huayu's backing, it is too cumbersome, and if you want to complete it without the people of Taohua Village noticing, the difficulty is too high, almost impossible.

Xu Lang reviewed Chen Huayu's previous words, and suddenly captured a key point,

"You said before that that's the most official process, so is there a more concise shortcut?"

When Chen Huayu heard this, his face turned pale, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him was so active in thinking and so clear-minded, which made him more determined to cooperate with him.

"Yes, what I said before is only the most formal process, but in fact, the earliest back is not so cumbersome!

Simple one word, back! Just carry the scarecrow on your back and bury it in the grave.

This is also the earliest process of carrying the coffin of the people of Peach Blossom Village, but since the supernatural event occurred, they deliberately set up so many cumbersome steps in order to coax outsiders to carry the coffin.

Now this traditional form of dorsal scabies may only exist in sacrifices. ”

Xu Lang nodded, "So, do you know what the sacrifice is?" ”

Now everything has been decided, tonight, Xu Lang and a few other people will go to the grave mountain, one is to verify the way of life, and the other is that even if it is only used on the back, there must be a place to bury, so they must dig the grave, and if they have the opportunity, they will also erect their own tombstones with their own hands!

However, when asked about this, Chen Huayu shook his head, "Since the curse of the thirty-year sacrifice, the Peach Blossom Village has no longer carried out sacrificial activities, and although I have been in the Peach Blossom Village for twenty years, most of the time I have been imprisoned in the dark underground, I know so much, and it was also the village chief who told me."

At first, I thought that maybe I could use it one day, so I remembered it for so many years. ”

Xu Lang nodded, then squinted his eyes, and looked around, saying that he was looking around, but in fact, he couldn't see anything clearly, but the straw represented by the large phantom in front of him made him think a little.

"You just said that during the sacrifice, the villagers will carry scarecrows on their backs, right?"

Chen Huayu's spirit was shocked, obviously what they want to say next is the real cooperation!

"Now up and down the Peach Blossom Village, a total of thirty-four people will participate in the sacrifice, each of them will carry a scarecrow of the same weight and size as himself, cover his body with a black robe, cover his face, and go to the tomb mountain.

That is, tomorrow, Wen Jin and Wen Xing will be used as the final sacrifice, buried alive, and your scarecrow will also be buried at the same time! ”

"What time is the sacrifice tomorrow?"

"Midnight!"
