Chapter 299: The Dead
"You, like Yan Xiaoying, are you observing carefully, are girls really born to be more careful than boys?"
Listening to what Huang Jinquan said, I nodded and continued: "I found out before, there is no reflection of them in the water, so I warned you in advance, don't panic when you encounter something, because these villagers don't ...... at all It's not human. ”
"Not human...... Then they are ......" Golden Spring swallowed a mouthful of saliva and trembled.
"I still don't know, it stands to reason that if they were soul bodies, they wouldn't be so real, could it be the lantern they were carrying?"
I shook my head and said to Huang Jinquan, "All in all, we can't turn our faces on them until they show their ill will towards us. You also heard what the old man said just now, they seem to have always regarded themselves as ordinary human beings, and they don't feel that they are any different from normal people......"
"Therefore, we can't mention this sensitive topic in front of them, otherwise, if they really turn their faces, the lives of the two of us will probably have to be explained here."
"Brother Tianyan...... Don't you think it's strange? They have the same surname as you. In that ghost mountain village, the people who died twenty years ago were also surnamed Lao...... Do you think these people have anything to do with the people who died in the village of Ghost Mountain twenty years ago? Huang Jinquan said suddenly.
I was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the meaning of Huang Jinquan's words for a while, and asked, "Do you see any clues?" ”
I just asked casually, thinking that this girl had just come into contact with these bizarre things, and it would have been good if she hadn't been scared and fainted, and she was in it, and she didn't understand what was going on with these people? What could she see?
Unexpectedly, when I asked, Huang Jinquan nodded and said, "I found a secret, a secret that you also know, but you didn't think about it in that direction." ”
When she said this, I was even more curious and asked, "What secret?" ”
"Do you remember, the old man told us that the little boy had his own name?" The golden period did not answer immediately, and suddenly asked me so.
"Remember!"
I said, "That child's name is Lao Renming, and the old man's name is Lao Daobo, is there anything strange about these two names?" Don't whet my appetite, just say it. ”
"Don't you think these two names are familiar?" Huang Jinquan said.
"Familiar?"
I muttered, "No, it's the first time I've heard a name like this, and it's a strange name other than their last name." ”
"No, in the Guardian Pavilion in the Ghost Mountain Villa before, didn't you carefully look at the names of those tablets dedicated to the dead? And in the cemetery, that tombstone should have been broken by you, right? Don't you remember the name engraved on the broken tombstone?
Hearing Huang Jinquan say this, I suddenly woke up and was surprised in my heart: "What do you mean...... Didn't you say that the spiritual throne enshrined in the Guardian Pavilion had the names of their grandfather and grandson? They...... Are the people who have died in Ghost Mountain Village for twenty years? ”
"Hmmm......"
Huang Jinquan nodded, his voice trembling with fear, and said: "I don't remember the names of the deceased on the tablets enshrined in the Guardian Pavilion too clearly, but I remember the names of the people engraved on the broken tombstone, and the one written on that tombstone is the name of the old man - Lao Daobo!" ”
"Are you sure!?"
Hearing her words, my heart suddenly turned upside down, I couldn't believe it, and asked Golden Spring again.
"It's true!"
Huang Jinquan nodded without hesitation, and said softly: "My memory has always been very good, besides, when we found you in the cemetery before, I also deliberately looked at the broken tombstone, and the name written on it is indeed the name of the old man we meet now!" ”
"How is that possible? Is it a coincidence? ”
For a moment, I felt like five thunderbolts, and I was stupid.
"That's not right...... This should not be a coincidence! ”
I took a deep breath, frowned and pondered, "This secret realm is not far from the ghost mountain village, maybe ...... It's really possible that the people in this village are the ones who died twenty years ago. ”
It's just that there's one thing I don't understand.
It is said that after a person dies, the soul will be taken down to the underworld by the soul envoy to be reincarnated.
If what Golden Spring said is true, the people we meet here now are the same villagers who died in that village twenty years ago, so why didn't they be reincarnated, but came to this secret realm?
Could it be ...... Someone brought their souls here, or else they were reincarnated?
This place in the secret realm is secret, and even the people of the Yin Division have no way to enter and exit freely at will, otherwise, when Jingmei was in the secret realm, the judge of the Yang Patrol wanted to bring Jingmei down to the Yin Division, so he didn't have to think so much about it.
Of course, the most important point is that Jingmei is powerful, even the people of Yin Si are also afraid, otherwise the Yang Patrol Judge would not have to wait until Jingmei's cultivation has an accident before they dare to enter the secret realm.
Although a long time has passed, I still clearly remember that on the night when I got married to Jingmei, there was a soul envoy in Yin Si who wanted to hook my soul, and finally Jingmei scolded me and fled in fright.
The soul envoy is not an ordinary ghost, he is the messenger of the Yin Division, and he is in charge of life and death, even they are so afraid, you can imagine how powerful Jingmei's strength is.
If it weren't for the fact that Jingmei and I were seriously injured by the thunder punishment bombardment, and later failed to condense the true body and fell asleep in the crystal coffin, the Judge of the Sun Patrol would not have had a chance to take her away.
……
I shook my head, feeling like I was thinking too much.
Besides, right now, if these people are really the souls of those people who died twenty years ago, trapped here by people, unable to be reincarnated, then who will this person be?
According to the notes left by the old fat father, there are no living people living in this place at all, and there are only a handful of people who know about this place.
There are only two people who have a relationship with the ghost mountain village, Lao Feng and Lao Fei's father, could they be related?
It is recorded in the notes that Lao Feng is dead, and only Lao Fei's father is still alive, could it be said that not only the ghost villa was built by this person.
He also brought the souls of the deceased here?
If it was really Lao Fei's father, what purpose did he do this?
Also, Liang Qingying entered the secret realm and put the Golden Python and the Bat King in, could it be that he wanted to use it against his father?
As Huang Jinquan said before, the big flame hand that poked into the air from the bottom of the village could be the father of the old fat?
Could this person be lurking in this village?
Thing...... It's getting more and more complicated......
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down, and by this time the old man in the distance, who had already ascended a wooden ladder to the stilted building, was waving to us and motioning for us to pass.
Then he didn't wait for us, but turned around and walked away into the house.
When Huang Jinquan saw him enter the house, he didn't pay attention to us who were still standing in place, and immediately lowered his voice and said in my ear: "Brother Tianyan...... While the old man wasn't around...... Why don't we run away? Leaving this village, leaving this hellish place, I don't want to stay in this place anymore. ”
I frowned, looked at the golden spring behind me slightly, and saw that she had a pitiful and begging look on her face, and couldn't help but sigh, and said softly: "We can't leave for the time being, even if we ignore Lao Fei and Yan Xiaoying, but that old man brought us here, do you think he will let us go so easily?" The village seems to be peaceful, but I think we can run away if we do...... Those who appeared before shouldn't let us go, right? ”
At the end, I comforted Yan Xiaoying again: "Don't worry, if they are really those people who died twenty years ago, they should have no ill will towards us, right?" Even if something happens...... And I'm with you, don't be afraid! ”
"Hmm!"
Huang Jinquan listened to me, but did not insist that I leave, nodded lightly, and did not say anything else.
"Let's go, let's go and meet up with Lao Fei, I'm curious what the hell this guy is doing."
I spoke, carrying the golden spring on my back and just about to walk towards the stilted building where the old man was.
However, at this moment, I glanced at the wooden railing of the nearest stilt building on my left, and a woman appeared silently.
The woman with long hair and a shawl, her face pale, she looked to be about thirty years old, and she was holding a child of two or three years old in her arms, and she was holding the child in one hand and the lantern in the other, and she was looking at us directly from the railing.
The child also had a lantern on his body, the size of a fist, hanging from his neck.
The woman looked a little horrible, and appeared silently, staring at us with a pair of eyes that did not say anything, which really startled us.
"Ahh Hell yes! ”
Huang Jinquan was so frightened that he screamed directly.
Her scream startled the woman upstairs, and she didn't know if her hand was slipping or the child in her arms was naughty, and the child actually fell off the guardrail.
"Be careful!"
Throwing such a small child off the guardrail six or seven meters high, I instinctively shouted and wanted to rush over and catch the child.
But I was now stuck in water, unable to move, and carrying the golden spring on my back, and at a considerable distance from where the child had fallen, I could not rush through.
I could only watch the child fall from the guardrail.
Unexpectedly, the child fell into the stagnant water, and the splash did not appear.
Because the child actually fell on the water, and it only made a ripple.
Seeing this situation, I remembered that there were no people living in this village at all.
The child Mo said that if he fell from a height of six or seven meters, it is estimated that he will fall from the sky, and he will not die, and his worries are purely superfluous.
Instead of worrying about the child, it is better to worry about his own safety, because Huang Jinquan panicked and directly told the fact that the woman was a ghost, and I don't know if she will ......
Thinking of this, I looked away from the child and looked up at the woman.
When I looked up, I found that the woman was still standing on the guardrail, and she didn't have any panic about her child falling from the guardrail, so she was not worried at all.
I met her gaze, and the latter's pale face suddenly showed a strange smile, which made my scalp tingle for a while, and I quickly looked away, not daring to look at her again.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that the hem of my clothes was being pulled, and when I looked down, it was the child who crawled silently in front of me.
for he was floating on the water, and he was in the water, and the water was over his waist; So although he was lying on his stomach, it was not the trouser leg that pulled me, but the hem of his clothes.
"Uncle...... Embrace...... Hug ......"
The child didn't seem to be able to speak, and he looked up at me with an expectant expression......
