82. Ghost Village
The sun was hanging overhead, but there was not a shred of heat in the village, and occasionally a corpse was gnawed beyond recognition by something. There were no leaves on the trees, just a flock of black-pressed crows circling.
"Valley Master, this place does feel different from other villages we went to, it feels eerie."
Yuan Qiuying and a person accompanying her came to a house with many tablets.
"Valley master, there are a lot of tablets in this house, many of them are still wood-colored, it seems that they were only recently erected, but there is no one in this ghost village, so this tablet is... Could it be that there are real ghosts? ”
"Juqing, how can there be so many ghosts in this world, I think it's people who make ghosts."
Although the house was overgrown with weeds, the hall full of tablets was clean, and it was obviously cleaned by someone, but now the person has not been found.
"Juqing, inform everyone, you will rest here tonight."
"Yes, Lord of the Valley."
Ju Qing walked into the courtyard, released a flare, and then returned to the temple, and the two looked around, but found nothing wrong.
"Valley Master, they're back."
"Hmm."
The scattered people rushed to the location of Yuan Qiuying and the others one after another.
"We'll rest here tonight, two in waves, taking turns keeping vigil."
"Yes, Lord of the Valley."
Although the sun has not yet set, the sky outside has begun to get dark in this ghost village. It had not been an hour since I entered the village, and the fog had begun to rise outside, which was no longer suitable for people to move outside. The situation in the village is unknown, and there are strange things everywhere, and someone must be awake at night in case of accidents.
As night fell, it was quiet all around, except for the occasional terrible cries of crows.
"Hey, you said that this ghost village doesn't seem to be as evil as it is outside, we have been in for so long, and nothing happened."
Two night watchmen sat around the fire, chatting and drinking hot water.
"I see, it's those people who are too timid, so they scare themselves."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Do you feel like it's getting colder and colder in here?" One of the night watchmen moved to the fire a few times.
"You don't feel anything if you don't say it, but you do say it."
Both of them sat next to each other in front of the fire, keeping warm.
"Hey, hey, hey... Little boy, do you want to come to the slave house and give you warmth, hehehe..."
In the quiet of the night, suddenly a whole eerie laughter came from a distance. The two who were still laughing immediately became vigilant.
"Valley master, valley master, wake up, ghost, ghost is out."
"Woooooo Why, why don't you ignore me, I'm so cold, come and play with me! Hee-hee-hee..."
Yuan Qiuying woke up and heard a poignant laughter, which lingered in her mind for a long time.
"Get up, there's a situation."
Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the courtyard, and along with the sound of the wind, there were intermittent cries and laughter.
"Ghosts, there are ghosts..."
A white shadow suddenly floated in the courtyard, and many people saw it, and suddenly some of the timid people fled in fright, and they couldn't listen to it at all.
"Don't panic, we can't disperse, we have to get together."
casually grabbed a person who was running around in a panic.
"Stay quiet, there is the lord of the valley."
was yelled at by Yuan Qiuying, and the person fell silent.
"Valley master, there is a ghost, and a ghost just floated over."
"I see it."
I didn't see what it was, but I was sure that it wasn't a ghost, after all, a ghost had no shadow, and the thing that had just floated past had a large shadow cast on the ground.
Looking at the few people fleeing around, Yuan Qiuying didn't say anything, although she was not from her own valley, but after all, she brought them here, and she couldn't die without help.
"Juqing, you organize the disciples in the valley and arrest those people who are running around for me."
"Yes."
"You guys come with me."
After Yuan Qiuying's words, Ju Qing took people and arrested the people who were running around in the house one by one.
"Valley master, almost all the people have been arrested, but one of the girls is missing, and she should have run out."
"You all stay here, I'll go find someone, everyone stay together, and be vigilant at all times."
"Juqing, you watch here, I'll go back when I go."
"Gu Master, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, you can bring two disciples!"
Now the situation outside is so dangerous, although the valley master's martial arts are very high, but the valley lord goes out alone, and there is no one to protect him in case of any situation.
"It's okay, you all stay here! Juqing, it's not that you don't know my skills, besides, here I have the best martial arts and medical skills, so it's faster for me to go alone. ”
"Then the valley lord is going to go back quickly."
"Well, don't worry, I'll give you a signal if there's something."
With that, he lit a torch and went straight out of the courtyard to find the lost girl.
The courtyard and the courtyard are completely different environments, and the outside of the courtyard has become foggy at some point, and the road is not very clear, standing outside the courtyard, it is difficult to distinguish the direction.
There was fog everywhere, and the woman didn't know where she had gone. I still look around this yard now, but I can't do it and I can only wait for dawn, otherwise I'm afraid that people won't find it, and I'll get lost.
Touching the wall of the courtyard, Yuan Qiuying searched around carefully, but found nothing. Even the ghost and voice that had just appeared did not appear again, and the woman did not move at all, as if she had disappeared out of thin air.
There must be other living creatures here besides our group, maybe it was the living creature that dragged the woman away, otherwise how could it be possible to disappear without a trace so quickly with the footsteps of a girl, or go back first and look for it at dawn.
After making up her mind, Yuan Qiuying touched the fence again and found the gate of the courtyard.
"Valley Master, you're back, how is the situation?"
Seeing Yuan Qiuying, who went out alone, return safely, Ju Qing immediately greeted her.
"Well, I didn't find that girl, the fog outside is too big, I can hardly see the road clearly, if I go out rashly now, I will definitely get lost, and after dawn, we will go out to find it."
"It's still early tonight, the disciples in the valley are divided into two groups, one group of people guards the first half of the night, one group of people guards the second half of the night, and the rest have a good rest."
The people in the Qiwu Valley can become disciples in the valley, they have all gone through a certain screening, everyone has a certain ability to deal with things independently, and they will not be scared casually, and the other people in the team are from all directions, most of them are soft and weak Langzhong.
"Yes, Lord of the Valley."
After the fright just now, many people couldn't sleep for a long time, but as the night deepened, it was really difficult to resist the drowsiness and fell asleep.
