That Taoist priest had found five formation eyes and seen the Five Elements Stone Talisman. The Five Elements Stone Talisman is like five large stones, which contain infinite energy. The Taoist priest's method is to take a small piece of each five-element stone rune, and then refine it into five small five-element stone runes, and use the energy contained in them to deal with the ancestors.

In this way, you can obtain the energy above without taking away the Five Elements Stone Rune, and even if you destroy the Stone Rune a little, it will not have much impact on the String Moon Array. The Taoist priest promised that after destroying the Ancestor Lu, he would send the taken spirit stones back to replenish the Five Elements Stone Talisman and repair the String Moon Array.

The Taoist priest's method can be said to have the best of both worlds, so the villagers of Shangxian Village agreed to his proposal. In this way, the Taoist priest took a small piece of spirit stone from each five-element stone talisman and took it away.

Later, with the help of the power of the spirit stone, the human beings finally eliminated the ancestor Lu, but I didn't know what happened, but the Taoist priest did not send the spirit stone back.

It was a long time before the Taoist priest returned to the village, but when the villagers asked him for the spirit stone, he said that the spirit stone had been destroyed. However, the Taoist priest promised the villagers that he would live in the village for the rest of his life to guard the String Moon Array, and promised that as long as he had his seal on Guanyin Mountain, nothing would happen.

Seeing the sincerity of the Taoist priest's attitude, the villagers believed him again, and the villagers had no other way to do so. The Taoist priest settled in Shangxian Village in this way, and there was indeed no change in Guanyin Mountain later. As time passed, the villagers slowly ignored the events of the year, and soon fifty years passed.

Until not long ago, there was an earthquake in Guanyin Mountain, and I don't know who spread the news that there was an ancient tomb on Guanyin Mountain, which attracted more and more people to go up the mountain. The villagers of Shangxian Village were worried that they would break the seal on the mountain, so they contacted the local authorities to seal off the official seal mountain.

At first, the villagers thought that the earthquake was just an accident and would not affect the seal on Guanyin Mountain, but it was not until it was discovered that the Taoist priest was missing that everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.

Because twenty years ago, there was also an earthquake in Shangxian Village, and the five eyes of the Quarter Moon Array were loosened due to the earthquake. The loosening of the eyes led to a number of corpse mutations in the cemetery outside Shangxian Village, and many of the corpses that had not yet decomposed had turned into zombies and broke into the village. Thanks to the timely intervention of the Taoist priest, the zombies were eliminated, but after the zombies were eliminated, the Taoist priest disappeared.

During the two days of the Taoist priest's disappearance, the villagers were worried that something would happen to the seal of Guanyin Mountain, but fortunately, the Taoist priest returned two days later. He told the villagers that the seal was still intact and that it was just an accident that the earthquake caused the eye to loosen. After the Taoist priest returned, he repaired the eye every day, and it took about a month to finally repair it, so the villagers did not take the earthquake seriously.

It's just that this earthquake is different, because the epicenter is on Guanyin Mountain, and the Taoist priest has not come back since he disappeared. The villagers went to check the array eye and found that the array eye was very loose, and the five elements stone talisman had cracks!

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the village to have an accident. First the water source in the village dried up, and then the plague broke out in the village, and the villagers were infected with the plague and grew white hairs all over their bodies, and then slowly lost consciousness and began to go crazy.

The plague soon spread throughout the village, leaving no one in the village. At this time, the Taoist priest finally reappeared. He saw that the villagers had turned into monsters, and he was helpless, so the Taoist priest had to use the power of the array to temporarily transform the villagers into the living dead, which is what they are now.

The living dead is the body that keeps the three souls and seven spirits, and the soul is still trapped in the body, but the body is already dead.

After listening to the village chief's story, Wu Wei was speechless in shock. His heart was beating faster, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, because that Taoist priest was his grandfather Wu Mian, and now the villagers have become like this, all of them are Wu Mian's fault!

Looking at Wu Wu's incredulous appearance, the village chief continued: "Now you know why Shangxian Village has become like this, right? We couldn't see the sun, so we had to dig a lot of tunnels under the village, and the villagers hid in their underground homes during the day, and only came out in the middle of the night to do activities. ”

"I'm sorry......" Wu said with self-reproach, "It was my grandfather who hurt everyone!" ”

But the village chief waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you, and we have forgiven your grandfather." Because the villagers know that he is not a bad person, and everything he does is for the sake of more people. Wu Mian turned us into this way to protect us, and he said that as long as the seal was repaired and the curse was suppressed again, the villagers could still survive. ”

When Wu Wei heard that there was still hope, he hurriedly asked, "You mean that the villagers still have a chance to come back to life?" ”

The village chief said, "Anyway, your grandfather promised like this, and we can only believe in him again." After all, although they have become the living dead, at least everyone is still alive, and their bodies have not decayed and deteriorated, the only difference from the living is that they can't see the sun, and they need to come out every night to absorb the energy of the moonlight instead of eating. ”

"And where did my grandfather go after that?" Wu Wei knew that it was a bit selfish to ask this question, but he still couldn't help but want to know his grandfather's whereabouts.

The village chief didn't blame him, but replied truthfully: "Wu Mian left later, and he hasn't come back since, so I don't know where he is now." But I think he's going to look for a way to fix the seal. ”

From the mouth of the village chief, Wu Wei finally knew the secret of Shangxian Village, and also knew that his grandfather was still alive. However, he also promised the woman in red to help her investigate her past, so he asked, "So, the villagers have never moved out of the village, but have only hidden underground during the day?" Did you know that a woman in red came to the village some time ago? ”

When Wu Wei mentioned the woman in red, the village chief's expression suddenly became vigilant, and he asked sharply, "Where did you hear about this?" ”

Wu Wei didn't expect the village chief to react so much, but it also indirectly explained that he should know about the woman in red, so he replied truthfully: "I heard from the woman in red herself, I was in danger a few days ago, she saved me, and told me that she had come to the village. The reason why I knew something was wrong in the village was because she told me. ”

"Nonsense!" The village chief's face suddenly became hideous, and he scolded sharply: "She saved you? She's not human at all! She's a ghost, a monster herself! How could she possibly save people?! ”

"Why did you react so much?" Wu Wei asked rhetorically, "Could it be that the woman in red has anything to do with Shangxian Village?" ”

The village chief looked at Wu Wei angrily, and said coldly: "I have already told you all the questions you want to know, and other things have nothing to do with you and your grandfather!" You're not from Shangxian Village in the first place, so you can leave now, otherwise don't blame me for not giving face to your grandfather! ”

After the village chief said this, these villagers standing in the ancestral hall immediately surrounded them, and it seemed that if Wu Wei didn't leave, they would really be unkind to Wu Wu.

King Kong didn't expect the situation to change suddenly, so he hurriedly walked in front of Wu Wei to protect Wu Wei and prepare for battle. But Wu Wei stopped him with his hand and said to King Kong: "It's okay, they are all grandfathers and uncles who have watched me grow up, and they won't hurt me." ”

Wu Wei's eyes kept looking at the village chief when he said this, and although the village chief still had a cold expression, his eyes eased.

"Grandpa the village chief!" Wu Wei took two steps forward, stood in front of the village chief and said, "Let me tell you the truth, I have been to Guanyin Mountain since I left the village. I saw a big red iron coffin in Guanyin Mountain, and in order to find my grandfather, I couldn't help but push open the lid of the coffin, but I was bitten by the female corpse in red in the coffin. Later, the corpse of the woman in red did not hurt me and even saved me, but she had long since lost her memory. She said that she had been to Shangxian Village and felt that it was very familiar, and after learning that I was a villager in Shangxian Village, she asked me to help her find her old memories. I could feel that she wasn't inherently bad, so I said yes. ”

After listening to Wu Wei's words, although he still had an angry expression, his tone was not so tough, and he asked Wu Wei: "So you went back to the village this time, but she actually instructed you?" ”

Wu Wei replied sincerely: "I went back to the village because I really care about the village, and it has nothing to do with other people!" Of course, I want to tell you that I want to come back and investigate my grandfather's whereabouts. As for the woman in red, I promised her that if I returned to the village, I would help her regain her memory. ”

The village chief waved his hand, and the villagers who had just come up to the fence retreated again, this time his tone was no longer so cold, but said to Wu Wei a little helplessly: "About this matter, even if it is death, I will not tell you." Since you still care about Shangxian Village, and these villagers who have watched you grow up, I advise you not to ask again. Otherwise, we won't be able to make even the living dead! ”

Wu Wei understands the horror of the woman in red, but the village chief's words still surprised him a little, could it be that Shangxian Village has done something sorry for the woman in red? Listening to the meaning of the village chief, if the red-clothed woman retrieves her memory, she is likely to come back to take revenge on the villagers.

Seeing that Wu Wei still looked like he wanted to find out the facts, the village chief said to him: "The String Moon Array has been loosened, and although it can still resist some ordinary Lu and demon clans, it has lost its defensive ability against those powerful Lu and Demon Clan. Ever since the woman in red came back, we've felt the crisis. You must know that the villagers have become the living dead and need to survive by sucking the essence of moonlight, but now the village is no longer safe even at night. ”

As he spoke, the village chief pointed to the monster on all fours and said, "He is a demon of the Tengu clan, I once saved his life, and he came to me after the accident in the village to repay his kindness." Now he is the only one in the whole village who can come out during the day without being restricted by the sun, and the villagers hide underground every day, all thanks to the information he brings us about the village every day. Every night, it was he who told us if it was safe outside, so we dared to go out for activities. ”

Although Wu Wei was also very curious about this guy who was on all fours, he didn't know why the village chief suddenly wanted to tell him this.

The village chief seemed to see Wu Wei's doubts, so he continued: "In the past, although we went out day and night, we didn't have any fears, until the woman in red came. Her arrival completely destroyed the String Moon Array, and now at night, there are often some demons or ghosts who come to the village unscrupulously, and a few villagers have already become food in their mouths. ”

"Have you and demons also been to Shangxian Village?" Wu Wei suddenly thought of Qing Shao, could it be that Qing Shao was also interested in Shangxian Village?

"That's right!" The village chief told Wu Wei: "The purpose of their coming to Shangxian Village is nothing more than to destroy the Xianyue Array and completely release the drought on Guanyin Mountain. ”

In this way, Qing Shao is really related to the seal of Guanyin Mountain, maybe he is the doppelganger who escaped after the seal of Guanyin Mountain was loosened. However, Wu Wei didn't understand, so he asked the village chief: "What does this have to do with the woman in red, is she also a doppelganger transformed into a drought grudge?" ”

"I'll tell you one last time, don't try to ask anything about that woman in red again!" The village chief said impatiently: "There is not much time left until dawn, I am going to take the villagers back to the underground, I hope you don't tell anyone about tonight's events, especially the woman in red!" The reason why I tell you so much is because I trust your grandfather Wu Mian, and I don't ask you to do anything for the villagers after you leave, as long as you don't cause further trouble to Shangxian Village, you can be regarded as worthy of the villagers who watched you grow up. ”

After saying these words, the village chief got up and walked outside the ancestral hall. The villagers who followed behind motioned to Wu Wu and them to leave quickly, and it seemed that the village chief was not going to say another word to him tonight.

Wu Wei knew that the village chief had told him enough tonight, about the official seal of the mountain, and the secrets of Shangxian Village, and the most important thing was that he knew that his grandfather was still alive.

After walking out of the ancestral hall, the village chief led the villagers to slowly walk away from both sides of the street, and the fog in the village also faded. Seeing that the once familiar village and villagers have now become the living dead, Wu Wei felt very uncomfortable. He secretly swore in his heart that no matter if he to, he would find his grandfather, and then work with him to find a way to repair the seal and help the villagers come back to life again!
