Du Bai smiled and didn't answer directly, but just motioned to the person next to him to go to the well to fetch a bucket of water and come back.

The disciple was puzzled, but he did so.

The rest of the people watched curiously from the window.

I want to see what Du Bai is hinting at.

I saw that the disciple braved the drizzle that was gradually falling in the sky, walked quickly to the well, picked up the bucket, and carefully lowered it to fetch water.

It took a long time to draw water, and I don't know if it was because the well was too deep or something else.

After a long time, I saw that the disciple gradually lifted the bucket and put it by the well.

Immediately, everyone noticed that the disciple seemed to have inadvertently lowered his head to look at the water in the bucket, and his face suddenly changed greatly, as if he had seen something terrifying, and he almost shook his hand and threw the bucket back into the well!

Fortunately, the disciple thought of his task, resisted the impulse, and ran back quickly with the bucket with a strange expression, as if he was carrying a corpse instead of a wooden bucket in his hand.

When he returned, the dart masters immediately gathered around him, curious to see what was inside the bucket to cause this change.

It's just that just by looking at it, many people suddenly felt nauseous, covered their mouths and almost vomited, and quickly looked away and ran to the side, even so, the foul smell emitted from the bucket still lingered in their noses and did not dissipate for a long time.

Although Du Bai had expected it, after a slight glance, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

I saw that the water in the bucket was very muddy, and the surface seemed to be tumbling with foul-smelling mud, mixed with many weeds and fallen leaves.

What's even more disgusting is that there are still faint pieces of flesh and blood that seem to have been peeled off, and tiny maggots are wriggling!

If you try to shake the bucket, a layer of white powdery things will gradually appear on the surface of the water, dense and palpitating.

From this, you can imagine how disgusting the smell must be.

And this is just a bucket of water that this disciple casually fetched!

After thinking of this, the eyes of everyone looking at the well were also a little different, quite different.

What surprised them even more was that the villagers didn't seem to notice anything strange in the well, and from time to time someone came to fetch water, and some even scooped it up and drank it on the spot, as if they were not drinking this rotten water, but some kind of elixir and jade dew.

Seeing this scene, Qin Honglong, who had planned to go to the village chief for a theory, was speechless, and sat down again with a somewhat pale face.

"The people in this village are so strange......"

"Is it any wonder that the food and drinks are so unpalatable, they are all crazy people who have lost their sense of taste? What kind of river god or something......"

To them, it's like a bunch of crazy people entertaining themselves, and there is no reason at all.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but be surprised.

He even began to wonder if it was right or wrong for him and others to enter this place full of weirdness.

In the end, Qin Zhengwei remembered a key person, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Du Bai: "Sir, you came here on purpose, could it be that you had already expected the strangeness of this place?" ”

Du Bai nodded lightly: "I have indeed heard of it. You outsiders may not know much about this place when you first come here, but in fact, there is a terrible custom that has been circulating here for decades......"

He briefly retold to them some of the legends about Suwon Village that he had been able to inquire about in the past, and when it came to the river god killing people, many people couldn't help but tremble and look a little afraid.

It was the two Qin Zhengwei brothers, and their faces were also a little dignified.

"Don't hide it, sir, we have traveled from south to north before, and we have experienced many strange things, and we have also seen many ghosts and foxes, and heard some strange things."

"But most of them are rural legends, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, let alone this kind of blood sacrifice in the name of the river god...... But something as strange as this is unheard of. ”

"It seems to be the work of the demon cultists in the rivers and lakes. They have always acted viciously, killing people and setting fires...... But in this vicinity, I haven't heard of the existence of the remnants of the Demon Cult. ”

"I don't know if Mr. Yi thinks that there are really so-called ghosts and gods at work here?"

They asked cautiously, their eyes occasionally looking into the gaps around them, as if worried about whether someone would eavesdrop on their conversation.

Du Bai also knew the concerns in their hearts, but said: "The words of ghosts and gods start from the heart. If you believe, then it is, and if you don't, then it is just a deception. ”

After a pause, he continued: "But you don't have to worry too much, as long as you do what I tell you, there will be basically no accidents." ”

It's just that even though he said this, it was still difficult for those people to really put their minds at ease.

Especially now that the outside is gradually becoming thunder and lightning, and the rain is pouring down. If nothing else, they should have to stay in the village for the night, until tomorrow morning when the wind and rain have stopped, and then they will be able to return to their journey.

In other words, you have to spend another night in this quirky little village......

Looking at the unusual pale faces and stiff faces of the villagers, as well as the strange stench of well water, it is a little creepy to think about.

It's not that they haven't spent the night with the dead, but sometimes, the living are often more terrifying than the dead......

Fortunately, apart from the strange things that happened on the surface, the villagers did not come to disturb them, and they did not even choose to approach, as if they were the ones who were disgusting and fearful.

At most, you can see the villagers wearing hats walking by from time to time through the window, and they don't look in their way.

In this way, until nightfall, it was always peaceful, and the two sides did not care about each other.

Except for the old village chief, who was quite enthusiastic and sent someone over to ask if there was anything he needed to help, there were basically no other chores.

This made the dart masters feel a little more relaxed, at least not as nervous as they were when they first came in.

Qin Zhengwei also thought: "Maybe it's really just that we are thinking too much, although this village is weird, it has not reached the point where it will kill people." ”

And in this long night, it is obviously impossible for them to keep their eyes open all the time, after all, they will continue to travel tomorrow, which is quite exhausting.

Especially when he saw that Du Bai had also closed his eyes, his breathing was smooth, and he seemed to have fallen asleep, so he also ordered to go down with confidence, and everyone took turns to guard the goods, and as for the others who did not have their turn, they could go to rest first and recuperate.

And as the house where the dart game was temporarily located became quiet again, the darkness that enveloped the small village seemed to have completely fallen silent.

There was no sound except for the occasional lightning and thunder across the horizon and the sound of torrential rain washing the ground.

Everything was as quiet as a tomb, eerie and eerie.

In fact, in their eyes, Du Bai, who was already asleep, was actually just an illusion, and the real him had already flown into the air, hiding his figure, observing the movements of the village below.

Including the familiar scenes in my memory, and the reactions of all parties under the rainstorm.

At present, everything seems to be different from what I had guessed in the past.

The villagers here don't seem to know that they're dead, and they're repeating the past over and over again.

They may still have the last glimmer of hope that they can make up for the sacrifice that was destroyed by the Taoist priests, so as to appease the wrath of the river god and restore the small village to its former tranquility.

This is evident from the poor maiden they were holding as a sacrifice.

This cruel sacrifice was regarded by them as the final salvation.

From the start, however, this was doomed.

The river gods are even using their last vestiges of obsession to create a huge trap to lure outsiders in.

Du Bai looked at the crowd of beings below, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Should I say that these people are pathetic or hateful? Ignorance has reached this point, maybe it is hopeless......"

They may still have one last conscience in their hearts, but with death, everything comes to naught.

However, the question now is not about the villagers who have turned into ghosts, but about where the evil god who is really behind the scenes is.

But the answer will soon be revealed.

Because with the arrival of the night, the rainstorm in the sky had finally reached the peak of that night, as if someone had fallen on the clouds, and the whole world seemed to be turned upside down from the bottom of the sea, and a deep layer of water had accumulated on the ground, almost drowning over the threshold.

At this time, just like the previous time, the village suddenly began to become lively.

From the original dead silence, to the current exclamations and anxious footsteps.

It was a group of villagers heading to the embankment, trying to strengthen the embankment as soon as possible before the rising water broke through the embankment.

lest the whole village be swept away by the floods.

Du Bai looked at the riverbank in the distance, his heart moved, and his hidden figure returned to the room.

This sudden movement had already attracted the attention of everyone in the dart game, after all, the sound was so loud that even if a group of people who practiced martial arts wanted to pretend not to hear it.

And when they woke up, after a little inquiry, they learned that the embankment would soon be unable to hold on, and they were immediately shocked!

No matter how high their martial arts are, in the face of the natural disasters of this flood, it is still not enough to see.

But even if they wanted to evacuate, what would happen to the goods they were carrying in their wagons?

Look at this heavy rainstorm, there is no sign of stopping at all, I am afraid that it will not be long before all the goods escorted will be scrapped!

"Is life or goods important?"

This difficult problem has already been placed in front of everyone in the Qin family.

"Big brother, otherwise we won't want this batch of goods first! It's still fate! Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! Second brother Qin Honglong said so anxiously.

"Wait......" Qin Zhengwei's face was extremely ugly, sometimes looking at the brothers, sometimes looking at the torrential rain outside, and finally after pondering for a long time, he sighed, "Okay, brothers, let's withdraw first......

No matter how valuable the goods are, they can't compare to the lives of the brothers!

However, at this time, Du Bai, who had not spoken all this time, interrupted their discussion with a loud voice.

"Wait, you don't have to rush, I have my own way."

"Sir, do you have a solution?"

Everyone couldn't help but ask in amazement.

"Yes, I can probably guess that it won't be long before the rain stops, so don't worry."

Du Bai comforted these people like this, and they were also a little skeptical, after all, this had something to do with their lives.

But thinking of its miraculous performances before, coupled with the difficult situation now, they can only choose to believe it again......

After Du Bai finished talking to them, he did not continue to stay in this room, but walked out of the house directly, ignoring the heavy rain, and stretched out his hand to stop the villagers who had not yet had time to rush to the river.

"Why are you so anxious to get to the river?" Du Bai asked deliberately.

"Does that need to be said? To reinforce the embankment, of course! The villagers glared at him, "Get out of the way!" Otherwise, it will be dangerous when the flood breaks through the levees! ”

"Oh? But the rain will soon stop, and you won't have to go. Du Bai smiled and pointed to the sky.

"Are you crazy? How could it be ......"

Several villagers looked at him with the eyes of a fool, but when they looked up, they were suddenly shocked to see the heavy rain that had just fallen, and suddenly disappeared without a trace!

Only the water on the ground that was deep enough to flood the calves could prove that there had indeed been a heavy rainstorm.

Even with a breeze, the black clouds that had been accumulated in the air gradually drifted away, revealing the curved moon behind it.

Such a scene of a rather pure and beautiful moon and stars may be quite common on weekdays, but now it has happened strangely in this most undesirable place......

The eyes of these villagers, who were still full of anger, instantly froze, and they looked at the sky that had become clear in disbelief, their lips slightly opened and closed, but they couldn't even say a word.

"How could it be ......?"

Of course, they don't know that this so-called "river god" is not the only one in this world who has the ability to make waves.

Since the other party can use mana to forcibly create such a storm, then Du Bai, who owns the Dragon Ball, can naturally wipe out all this more easily.

He wanted to see that even this wind and rain had been forcibly stopped by himself, what excuse did this evil god have?

Then he smiled and said, "Now that the rain has stopped, you all go back to sleep." It's only the middle of the night, so why bother so hard? ”

Unexpectedly, the villagers didn't seem to intend to listen to him, but looked up at the sky with a blank expression, as if there was something very appealing to them.

At the same time, there are words in their mouths: "Oh no...... It's raining heavily...... The embankment is going to be untenable......"

They turned their heads stiffly to look at Du Bai, and their eyes had completely lost their original brilliance, leaving only a hollow.

Du Bai was stunned, then reacted and frowned.

Originally, these villagers still had a trace of self-will, but at this time, because of Du Bai's interference, their consciousness was likely to be completely disturbed by the evil god......

In other words, what they are seeing at this time is likely to be what the evil gods want them to see, not reality.

Du Bai didn't make any more efforts to stop them, and as soon as he lowered his hand, the villagers were already staggering towards the bank of the river, with no intention of stopping.

After seeing this unbelievable scene, the dart master and his party were even more frightened, feeling that there might be ghosts and gods in this place.

At this time, as Du Bai really "predicted" that after the rain stopped, it had become their lifesaver, and the Qin family brothers hurriedly asked him for his opinion on whether to escape now.

"Now that the rain has stopped, but the water on the ground is still serious, you can rest here for a while, and wait until the water clears before leaving." Du Bai replied.

"But...... This place is so weird, and the villagers are like crazy people, if they come back, will we be in danger? ”

The people of the Qin family don't dare to hold it up now, this place is full of weirdness, and martial arts are not omnipotent.

Du Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't come back......

"What do you mean?"

Everyone looked at each other, some of them didn't quite understand.

Du Bai just said: "You will know when you go out and have a look for yourself later, I still have important things to deal with here, you can leave on your own later, don't worry." ”

"Wait......"

Everyone still didn't react, but they were just trying to dissuade them, but after seeing Du Bai just walking out of the door, his figure had disappeared, like a ghost, which made their hearts palpitate.

But what shocked them even more was that when they walked out of the room, they found that the scene in the village had changed dramatically!

Faintly visible by the moonlight, the original memory of the intact house has been left with only a broken wall washed away by the flood, and the ground is full of mud soaked in rainwater......

Judging by the moss and cobwebs that have grown in the corners, it must have been a long, long time since this place was inhabited.

Where is there still half a living person today?

All that's left is dead ruins!

"It's ......"

They all looked at each other, and they were so shocked that they couldn't even close their mouths.

What was happening in front of them seemed beyond their imagination and could not be understood......

When they looked back again, they found that even the house where they and the others had temporarily lived was in ruins, making them almost think that last night was just a strange dream......

"Trouble...... Haunted! ”

They were so frightened that even Qin Honglong, the second brother who was the most courageous on weekdays, was so frightened that his face turned pale at this time, and he hurriedly begged God to worship Buddha.

Even if I don't believe in this set on weekdays, but now I have to believe it.

"Big brother, let's go quickly! This place is so wicked! ”

He said to his eldest brother tremblingly.

"Let's go! Let's go! ”

Qin Zhengwei took a deep breath, but his voice couldn't help but tremble a little.

Although it was not yet dawn at this time, they couldn't care so much about it, and they were bent on leaving this evil place as soon as possible.

The group hurriedly left the place as if fleeing, and quickly disappeared into the vast night.

As for the fact that they later inquired from other places and learned that this Suwon village had been destroyed by a flood more than half a year ago, so they were so frightened that they almost didn't dare to walk at night, that was something else......

And just after they left, Du Bai reappeared, his gaze slowly swept over the abandoned villages around him, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he muttered.

"Do you think you've reached this point, can you still run?"
