The two of them, one of them took a bowl of noodles and sat outside the mourning hall of the people's white affairs and ate it, while discussing what happened last night.

Tang Yao muttered and asked, "Brother Jun, why did you run away last night, did you encounter any trouble?" ”

The old soldier put the empty noodle bowl aside, lit a cigarette, and took a puff before saying, "It's not that I'm in trouble, but if I don't leave, those two wandering ancient spirits will run away, and you won't get anything at that time." ”

"What do you mean?" Tang Yao asked with a mouthful of noodles.

"Last night, the IQ of the dwarf deer boy and the Gu Ling around the dwarf deer boy is not low, you are a hairy boy to find trouble with them, they will move with you, if you see me by your side, then it is estimated that you will turn around and run away, if these two Gu Ling make up their minds to run, it is estimated that even I may not be able to catch it, then our efforts will not be in vain, so I will withdraw first and let you stay there, they think that you are the only one who will definitely take the initiative to find your trouble, so that we can catch these two Gu Ling." The old army explained.

Tang Yao nodded and didn't say a word, he drank the noodle soup all the way up, wiped his mouth and said, "Even if you want to run, tell me, I almost died there, if it weren't for a few lost donkey friends who accidentally broke in, I might have been wiped out by the dwarf deer boy and that ancient spirit." ”

"Hehe, you have some skills now, where is it so easy to die, besides, who do you think those travelers led over?"

Tang Yao immediately understood what the old army meant, at this time, a few travelers who were staying in the village last night saw Tang Yao and the old army hurriedly walked over, and the one who took the lead first thanked Tang Yao, and then said to the old army: "Thank you, big brother, for showing the way yesterday." ”

It turned out that not long after the old army left first yesterday, he met these three lost trekking friends, so he deliberately told them that there was a wooden house in front of them where they could stay, and let them walk in the direction of Tang Yao, which just interrupted the confrontation between Tang Yao and the two wandering ancient spirits.

After the three of them left, Tang Yao smiled awkwardly at the old army, he thought that the old army had left him and left yesterday.

"Anyway, what is the origin of the ancient spirit that was made the 'king' by the dwarf deer boy yesterday?" Tang Yao asked after diverting the topic.

The old soldier shook his head and said, "I haven't found out yet, what tricks did it use when you confronted it yesterday?" ”

"It just raised its hand, and there was a crack in its palm, and it looked like an open mouth, and I could even see teeth growing out of that mouth, and when the mouth was aimed at me, I felt as if my limbs were being bitten by something, and there was a strong tearing sensation, and you see, there were tooth marks on my wrists."

Tang Yao showed his wrist, although the tooth marks faded a lot after a night, they did not disappear completely, the old army grabbed his wrist and looked at it and said, "Interesting, I haven't seen this kind of tooth mark for many years." ”

"Oh? So you know what kind of spirit this guy is? Tang Yao asked eagerly.

"It's not completely certain yet, at the moment, what I'm most curious about is why there are a large number of wandering ancient spirits gathered in this vicinity, it stands to reason that these wandering ancient spirits are coming for the residual energy of the deceased, and generally there is no phenomenon of a large number of wandering ancient spirits gathering together, unless this place has a huge residual energy, how can it attract so many wandering ancient spirits?"

What the old army said was reasonable, and Tang Yao didn't quite understand what was attracting these wandering ancient spirits.

"I saw three last night, and I can secretly perceive at least three or four wandering ancient spirits, this number is already much more than ordinary, so let's do it, Tang Yao, you go around the village today and see if you can find some clues." After the old army finished speaking, he left with a cigarette in his mouth, but Tang Yao had no idea, saying that he was looking for clues, but where to find it.

The old couple were cremated in the morning, the funeral home in the nearby town sent a car to pick up the family and ashes, the village was over, most of the villagers went to the town to eat tofu rice, Tang Yao also wanted to go, after all, it is always a good thing to have a free banquet to eat, but he still has a task in his body, he stayed in the village and found the recorder of the village commune, and wanted to read some historical documents in the village, but unfortunately the history of this village is not so long, and the work in this area is not in place, so Tang Yao did not find anything.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw the recorder writing something, and he leaned over to take a look, and the young notekeeper seemed to be writing the history of the village.

Tang Yao asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?" ”

The recorder smiled and said: "The history of our village is not very long, so we have not left too many historical documents, but I still feel that it is necessary to record the bits and pieces of our village from now on, so that when our village has a long history in a few hundred years, future generations can know what happened." ”

"Hehe, you have a heart, from which year did this start to be recorded?" Tang Yao asked.

The recorder smiled and said, "From the war years, about a hundred years ago. ”

"Oh, can you lend me a look?" Tang Yao asked, the recorder was reluctant at first, but he couldn't stand Tang Yao's soft grinding and hard bubbles and finally took it out, Tang Yao quickly began to look through it, what he wrote was not very much, and Tang Yao read it quickly, so it didn't take a few minutes to read it.

The recorder stared at Tang Yao with interest and asked, "How is it, what I wrote is okay, right?" ”

"You say that there was a massacre in this village about eighty years ago, what's going on?" Tang Yao asked.

"Oh, during the war years, the invaders slaughtered the village and did not do this kind of thing, and our village was not spared, to be precise, eighty-one years ago, a brigade of foreign invaders arrived in our village, at that time our village hid a number of guerrillas, in order to cover the transfer of the guerrillas, the people in the village and the enemy started a fight, but after all, people had guns in their hands, so in the end they lost, the village was killed a total of more than 200 people, according to some information I found, the situation at that time was really miserable, Otherwise, there would not be only a dozen families in our village today. The recorder said.

Tang Yao seemed to have grasped some key points, and hurriedly asked, "Where are the more than two hundred people buried in the end?" ”

"I don't know, some say that it was burned by the enemy, and some say that it was buried in the mountains casually, but the latter is more likely, because there are always some strange bones found in our village, which are not like animals but like people."

After Tang Yao came out of the recorder, he thought to himself while walking towards the entrance of the village, the wandering ancient spirits fed on the remaining energy of the deceased, and this place seemed to gather a large number of wandering ancient spirits, according to the old army's speculation, there should be some kind of very large energy in this place to attract the wandering ancient spirits, and the recorder said that there was a terrible massacre here eighty-one years ago, and more than two hundred people were killed and would disappear, so Tang Yao combined these two things to think, if the villagers who were killed eighty-one years ago were buried in the nearby mountains, And the wandering ancient spirits came for the remaining energy of more than two hundred people, so it seems to explain why there are so many wandering ancient spirits here.

At this time, he walked to the entrance of the village and saw that the old army was on the phone, and when Tang Yao approached, the old army's phone was just finished, Tang Yao stepped forward and said: "Brother Jun, the wandering ancient spirit is coming for the residual energy of the deceased, but generally not only the body of the deceased has residual energy, and the bones that have been dead for a long time should be gone, right?" ”

The old soldier shook his head and said: "This is not necessarily, although generally speaking, the bones will lose their energy and become simple bones after a long time, but if they have suffered great grievances in their lives, or have strong hatred, then the negative energy will be stored on these bones, if the bones are not burned, these negative energies will always be stored, and the wandering ancient spirits may also be attracted by these negative energies, what's wrong, did you find something?" ”

Tang Yao nodded and said, "I think I know the reason why so many wandering ancient spirits are gathering here. ”
