Chapter 325: The Village of Life and Death
I don't know how many years that small cemetery has existed, but according to the oldest old man in the village, the small cemetery has been there since the establishment of the Life and Death Village.
Since it is a cemetery, it is natural that haunted things happen from time to time. A few headless ghosts are roaming the streets tonight, and a few more hanged ghosts are wandering around tomorrow night.
After a few days, a ghost bride appeared after beating gongs and drums. Anyway, it's messy, and a few fierce ghosts come every once in a while.
At that time, unlike now, the theory of ghosts and gods was terrifying. On the contrary, because the ghosts who enter the village often appear, the villagers are accustomed to it, and they don't feel any panic at all.
After a long time, the villagers even started to do business with ghosts, such as digging some yin grass when they had nothing to do, or tossing some yin and yang blood to trade with yin spirits.
The ghosts did not refuse to come, and they traded with the villagers there. As for the specific transaction, Win the Mandate of Heaven will be passed over, anyway, the dead have what the living need, and the living also have what the dead want.
Everyone takes what they need and has fun.
Then one day, an old man came to the village of life and death. This old man is kind and kind-eyed, and he has a fairy wind and bones. As soon as he entered the village, he stood at the entrance of the village in a daze and said, "What a heavy yin qi! ”
At that time, there happened to be idle villagers chatting under the big tree, and when they saw the old man say this, he smiled and said, where did the old man come from?
The old man said, "Come from where you ought to come." ”
The villagers were puzzled and asked, "Where is the old man?" ”
The old man said, "Go where you need to go." ”
The two sides asked and answered, and then fell silent with each other. At this time, an elder stood up among the villagers, his face full of displeasure. Originally, everyone kindly asked you where you came from and where you were going, and they tried to help you if they could.
After all, jackals, tigers and leopards are rampant these years, and demons and monsters are endless, so it's good to ask where you're going and show you the way.
But you are vague and refuse to tell the truth, so sneaky, hiding your head and showing your tail, it doesn't look like a good thing at all.
It's not good to make such a rash judgment. Therefore, the elder of the Life and Death Village said, "Since the old man is going to the place where he should go, I naturally won't ask more." It's just that after leaving the village, there is a deserted grave four or five kilometers away, and the old man should not stray into it. ”
The old man stared at the village elders intently, and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”
The elders of the village did not hide it, and said, "There are dead people living in that grave mountain, and they do not like strangers to disturb them, and if the old man strays into it, it will inevitably make them unhappy." ”
The old man's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he said, "Dare to ask the elder, is this the yang world or the netherworld?" ”
The elders in the village were puzzled and said, "Nature is the Yang World." ”
The old man said, "Since it is the Yang World, there is no place where we and the living cannot go." Isn't it unreasonable for the Yin Soul to occupy the realm of the Yang World and expel the living from entering? ”
The village elder said angrily, "You old man is so unreasonable. I kindly advise you not to go astray, but you want to mess around! The dead in Little Tomb Mountain are older than the village, do you still want to drive them away? ”
The old man sneered: "The elder is right, today I will not only drive them away, but also drive you away!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a long strip of cloth from his bosom, and with a shake of his hand, the strips of cloth tumbled and tumbled to the ground, and then flashed a cold light.
It turned out that what was wrapped in the cloth was a bright sword!
The face of the village elder suddenly changed color, and he said, "What does the old man want?" ”
The old man replied with four words: "Kill the demons!" ”
Then he shook his hand, and saw the cold light flicker, and the head of the village elder fell to the ground with a gurgle.
Strange to say, the head of the village elder was cut off by the sword, and not only did his body not fall to the ground, but not a drop of blood could not be shed in his neck. What's even more strange is that the hands of the village elders also shook a little, as if they wanted to pick up their heads.
The old man was unforgiving, and the sword in his hand slashed a few times, and the village chief's arms fell to the ground. The faces of the surrounding villagers suddenly changed color, and they jumped up from under the big trees.
One of the villagers shouted, "Good thief! Dare to hurt someone! ”
The villagers picked up poles, sticks, and hoes and surrounded the old man. Some of them shouted and ran back to the village to call for someone.
Although the old man was surrounded by the core, he stood proudly with a sword in his hand. He swept his gaze over the villagers and said, "Take your time, take your time, don't be in a hurry." ”
The villagers did not know the meaning of his words, and they gritted their teeth and said, "Thief! Our life and death village has no grievances with you! The old village chief is even more polite to you, why do you want to hurt people? I will arrest you today and pay tribute to the old village chief! ”
At this time, other villagers of the village of life and death also rushed out, bustling, men, women and children came over with flat hoes. The leading few stick boys shouted angrily: "What thief dares to commit murder in the village of life and death!" ”
The old man raised his eyes and swept over, and sneered: "Evil demons are outside, everyone will be punished!" ”
Seeing that the villagers were almost there, he raised his sword and cut off the head of another villager. The two Chinese characters around the villager picked up the flat pole and hit it, but the cold light flashed, and the two heads flew into the sky again.
This time, the old man went on a killing spree, his sword was vertical and horizontal, and his body was shuttling. More than a dozen villagers died in an instant. When the rest of the villagers saw that the old man was so fierce, they shouted one after another, turned around and fled.
Who would have thought that they had just dispersed, but the strip of cloth on the ground suddenly writhed like a spiritual snake. After a closer look, I found that the cloth strips were densely packed with strange runes.
The strip of cloth was wrapped around, and the villagers who tried to escape were either tripped and fell to the ground or restrained. The old man was not polite, his sword fell, and his severed head ran around like a watermelon rolling on the ground.
It is also strange to say that although the old man killed the rise, there was not a drop of blood on the ground, and after all the heads were cut off, the body did not even fall, and all of them stood firmly on the ground.
The rest of the villagers were so frightened that they crawled around the strips of cloth on the ground, and got into the house and locked the door, and then trembled.
But where can this little means stop the old man with the sword? I saw him slash with his sword, break into the door, and cut off the heads of the villagers inside.
This time it was really a killing of human heads, and corpses were everywhere. After the old man came out of the last villager's house, there were no more villagers in the whole village to stand.
After such a great thing, the old man's face was still cold, and he came out of the house, looked at the heads all over the ground, wiped the sword in his hand, and then looked out of the village.
The direction he looked was exactly where the small tomb mountain was.
was about to rush to the small tomb mountain, but at this time, someone sighed deeply in his ear and said, "How innocent are the villagers of Life and Death Village? You killed them all......"
The old man turned his head, only to find that there were shadows around him, and they were all lonely ghosts. Looking overhead again, I saw that the black clouds were dense, obviously the yin qi was dissipating, and the black clouds that were hooked covered the sun.
When I said this, I was slightly frightened, you must know that you can use yin qi to hook black clouds to cover the sun, this is not something that ordinary evil can do.
Because once the black clouds cover the sun, the hundred ghosts can travel every day, even in broad daylight, they can come and go freely, and even talk to the living. The Yin Soul of Xiaotombshan can reach this level, not much worse than the Fallen King of the Ghost City of Xudu.
But it was said that the old man found that the world was dark and there were many ghosts, so he snorted heavily, stretched out his hand and threw the sword on the ground. I saw that the sword was stuck in the ground, emitting a thousand rays of light, and the yin spirits who only shot retreated one after another.
Then the old man said, "Evil demons and foreign ways, all deserve to die!" ”
The black qi on the body of a yin soul churned, and he took two steps forward against the light emitted by the sword, and Sen Ran said, "What is an evil demon? What is the Outer Way? Please explain, sir! ”
The old man sneered: "The villagers of Life and Death Village were originally living people, but they traded with Yin Spirits all year round, but they traded their own life qi!" In this way, life and death are displaced, and the living gradually become dead! Isn't this a demonic way? ”
At this time, everyone suddenly realized that this old man was a top exorcist, and from the first time he saw the villagers enjoying the cool under the big tree, he could see that these villagers were actually dead.
This old man is jealous and hateful, and seeing that the villagers of the whole village are all dead, how can he be polite? That's why he didn't hesitate to swing his sword and cut off the head of the village chief.
As it turned out, the old man had guessed correctly, because not a drop of blood had been shed after the heads of the village chief and the other villagers had been cut off.
Suddenly, Zhang Wuyi said aloud: "Although the old village chief of the village of life and death is a dead man, he is kind-hearted, and he will remind strangers with kind words. Although the villagers are like this, the villagers in the village are in distress, and they also know how to protect it. Although the villagers of Life and Death Village are dead, they are not demons! ”
These words were categorical and sonorous, and the exorcists and evil people who only listened nodded their heads and bowed their heads in agreement.
When I heard Win Tianming talk about this before, I always felt that something was wrong, but now that Zhang Wuren said this, I woke up.
That's right, although the villagers of the village of life and death have become dead, they are not demons. This old man, relying on his clever means, slaughtered the entire village without saying anything, and his behavior was a bit of a demon.
was nodding his head secretly, but he heard someone say; Mr. Zhang's words are slightly inappropriate, the villagers of the village of life and death trade with the deceased and turn themselves into dead people, which is in itself disrespectful to life, or rather, envy of the life form of the deceased. Although I have not changed my mind now, it is because the time to become a dead person is still short. In time, it will surely become an evil man. In my opinion, the old man with the sword did the right thing! ”
