Chapter 218: Death Ditch
"You know?" I looked at Shang Tianyi with interest as if he had been stepped on by his tail.
To be honest, I wouldn't have been surprised if he had known that there was a dead man's ditch in the area. After all, he had been here for many years before Shang Tong's accident, and he would hear about it more or less.
Shang Tianyi's face changed at this moment, and he was more afraid than when he said that he was going to come to Huangpizi's grave, so he stopped me and shouted: "That is the forbidden place of Huangpi Village, you must not go there, something will really happen!" ”
"I said Senior Shang, are there still few things happening in this Huangpi Village?" I shook my head with a laugh, not caring if he said something would happen, "It's not easy to find something worse here, if you lose your soul for three days and cry for five days." ”
Shang Tianyi was in a hurry, but seeing that I didn't care, he could only follow me forward: "Dead Man's Ditch and Huangpi Village are not the same thing at all, classmate Lin, the people in the village in that place say that whoever goes will die!" ”
I said to him, "Okay, okay, don't scare me." If you know what's going on in that village, tell me, and I'll have a good idea of what to do. ”
Shang Tianyi then talked about the Dead Man's Ditch, which was originally a village next to Huangpi Village. But suddenly, one year somehow there was an outbreak of plague, and half of the people in a village died within a few days.
The rest of the people fled and moved, and later became a deserted village where no one lived.
Because the people in this village died too innocently, and the resentment after death will not be dispersed. After that, anyone who went there was allowed to have an accident, either a serious illness, an accident, or even a missing person who was found missing and hanged in a deserted village.
After all kinds of evil things happened, no one dared to go to this deserted village. Over time, the locals began to call it the Dead Man's Ditch, and only the dead would appear there.
After listening to Shang Tianyi's eloquent narration, I pondered for a moment in my heart. According to Shang Tianyi, whether the ghost of the dead yellow skin is there or not, there must be something wrong with the dead man's ditch.
But I'm more of a foreigner, and I don't know the road, and I can't find where the dead man's ditch is when I don't have a road. This night is dark and windy, and I can only rely on some moonlight to find my way, and I can still find it in the deep mountains and old forests by accident.
After thinking about it again and again, I shook my head and said, "Forget it, I'll figure out a way for Wang Xiaozhu's affairs tomorrow." I've already made a deal with the old yellow guy tonight, and he promised to help your cousin restore his soul. ”
When Shang Tian heard this, he was overjoyed, and excitedly gave me a hug on the spot, and wanted to kneel down for me, so frightened that I quickly pulled him down.
Even so, when we groped all the way back to Shang Tong's house in Huangpi Village, Shang Tong did not recover immediately. I suspect that the old yellow guy might want to wait until I kill his opponent, which could be a bargaining chip.
At the same time, there is another thing that Shang Tianyi cares about, that is, he learned from his grandmother, who has not yet slept, that his uncle has not returned. Originally, I said that I should come back tonight, but I didn't expect to see no one at this point, which is really enough to worry a few people.
I couldn't help much with this, so I confirmed Shang Tong's state and returned to the room that Grandma arranged for me. I didn't expect that there was already someone waiting in the room, or rather, there was a yellow skin waiting for me in the room.
The yellow-skinned man with gray fur on his head jumped in from the window, jumped to the ground, and transformed into the image of a sharp-mouthed man he had seen before, and walked up to me with a sneer, "Master, you have also seen the old ancestor. Then isn't this five thunder talisman on my forehead..."
I'm still wondering what it's doing, and I've only reacted after saying this, I used the cinnabar mark on its forehead with cinnabar to pretend to be the Five Thunder Talisman, and this gray and yellow skin is still quite serious.
Seeing this, the corners of my mouth hooked slightly, and said, "Don't be nervous, just when you come, I also have a few questions to ask." ”
The gray-haired and yellow-skinned man thought that he had been hit by the five thunder charms, and one life was pinched in my hands, where did he dare to be disobedient? Immediately nodded again and again: "Of course, of course, master, please ask." ”
"How much do you know about the Dead Man's Ditch?" I sat down on the edge of the bed, trying to learn more about the situation before Shang Tianyi returned.
The gray-haired and yellow-skinned man hurriedly told about what it knew about the dead man's ditch, and the cause and result were similar to what Shang Tianyi said, but when it came to the dead man's ditch, it also mentioned that the place was indeed very evil, and even the yellow skins of their cultivation did not dare to approach it easily.
"Are you scared too?" I looked at the other party with some surprise, and I was surprised that I would be afraid of ghosts with the cultivation of this big yellow skin that could transform into a human form.
When it came to the Dead Man's Ditch, the gray-haired and yellow-skinned man said with a fearful face: "That's not an ordinary ghost, I have beaten the Dead Man's Ditch several times, and I can feel that there is a strong resentment in the village, and ordinary ghosts never have that kind of resentment!" ”
“… I pondered slightly, and then asked, "Do you know when that village became such a dead man's ditch?" It's the plague. ”
The gray-haired yellow skin thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "It seems that it has been a while, and I was just a little cub at that time. It had to be at least a hundred and thirty years ago. ”
Are there ghosts left behind for more than 100 years... If you fight, it will feel like it will be troublesome......
But now is not the time to be afraid of trouble, if there is really such an evil ghost there, Wang Xiaozhu's soul will be quite dangerous.
"Master?" Seeing me think, the gray-haired yellow skin screamed a little flatteringly.
I knew it was waiting for me to remove the unwarranted five thunder talismans, and I was just about to pretend to do it when I suddenly heard footsteps from outside.
"Let's go first, and I'll give you an explanation later." I immediately lowered my voice and said to the gray-haired yellow skin, "If I don't urge the Five Thunder Talismans, I will be fine, but you had better bless the gods and Buddhas that I can come back safely from the Dead Man's Ditch, otherwise you will have to carry this Five Thunder Talisman for the rest of your life!" ”
The gray fur and yellow skin were so frightened by me that he quickly turned back into the prototype and jumped out through the gap in the window. At this moment, Shang Tianyi knocked on the door and walked in, looking around with some confusion: "Classmate Lin, are you talking to someone?" ”
"No, what's the matter?" I didn't tell Shang Tianyi about the gray hair and yellow skin, so as not to add another psychological burden to him. And then how to resolve the grievances between him and this gray and yellow skin, you have to start from him to find ideas.
Shang Tianyi didn't know what I was thinking, so he nodded and came over and sat on the edge of the bed and said, "I'm thinking about the dead man's ditch, and then I think about it, although I know that place, how to get there, I don't know, only the people in the village know the exact location." ”
I crossed my fingers with my hands crossed, put them behind my head, leaned against the wall, and said, "According to what you said, there is a big problem, and the people in the village must be afraid of the dead man's ditch. ”
"Well, it's basically a change of color." Shang Tianyi smiled bitterly, I raised my eyebrows, and asked, "You asked your grandma?" ”
Shang Tianyi was not surprised that I would guess, nodded and said, "Yes, but Grandma, she refuses to say, and she wants me not to ask around, she may invite the ghost of the dead man's ditch." ”
I suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, shook my head, and said that I would come as soon as I called, then I would save my worries, save myself and go to find it!
"It seems that I can only find a way from Wang Xiaozhu and his family." I looked at the ceiling and thought, "Her own baby, she won't look at it, right?" ”
Shang Tianyi couldn't answer me about this. After all, it's not my business in the first place, and if she doesn't want to show the way, I'll just pat my ass and leave.
After dawn, when Wang Dazhu's daughter-in-law came to ask, there were many villagers who came to see the excitement. But when I told me about the dead man's ditch, I was so frightened that I ran away, and even Wang Xiaozhu's parents turned blue for a while.
"Little, little sir, do you really have to go to the Dead Man's Ditch?" Wang Dazhu, who was five big and three thick, looked very embarrassed and confirmed to me again.
I nodded to him and said, "Your son's soul may be there at the moment, although I promised to help, but I can't find a place, and I can't do anything." ”
Hearing me say this, Wang Dazhu glanced at his daughter-in-law, gritted his teeth fiercely, and made up his mind: "Isn't his grandmother's just some terrifying legends of his ancestors!" Lao Tzu is out of the way, little sir, I'll take you over! ”
Seeing him like this, with an expression that put life and death out of the way, I couldn't help but smile a little, and comforted him: "Don't worry, with me, I won't let you have an accident." ”
Without further ado, the shuttle bus from this place to Dongli City only runs twice a week, and I didn't want to miss this shift in the morning, so I urged Wang Dazhu to go to the dead man's ditch.
