Throughout the night, those who thought they were ghosts roamed the village, as if only this aimless small area of wandering could make them realize that they were still alive.

In the early morning, before the sun appeared on the distant ridge, the men returned to the tomb where they lived, and the village of Yin Mansion instantly returned to dead silence.

When Wei Chiran and Feng Rui came out of the tomb, the outside was empty, and it had become an empty cemetery again, except that there were still ashes of burning incense candles and paper money in front of the tombstone.

Wei Chi yawned and said, "It's the first time I've seen myself go to the grave." ”

"That's their only sustenance." Guan Hongru suddenly appeared behind the two, "No one came to look for them, just like after a person dies, no one comes to worship him." ”

Feng Rui said: "It's time for us to go." ”

Guan Hongru walked into the tomb, re-carried his wife's body, and explained that he would bury his wife in Wai Village.

And when Guan Hongru came out, Xiangsha also followed behind him, but Xiangsha's eyes were dull, he didn't say a word, just followed Guan Hongru, and always kept a distance of about one meter from him.

The moment he saw Xiangsha come out, Wei Chiran had a strange feeling in his heart, he always felt that Xiangsha was no longer Xiangsha, but something else.

Human corpses?

If Xiangsha turns into a human corpse, it must be Guan Hongru's doing, and what is the reason why Guan Hongru did this?

Wei Chiran knew that things were not so simple, and he also knew that he could not express his guess at this moment, because Feng Rui was already eager to go to the Holy Land to meet the blind cell leader, so he was not interested in everything that happened around him.

Yin Zhai Village is only half a mile away from Dumb Village, and after entering that jungle, you will see Dumb Village.

The houses in the village are all built on trees, at least three meters above the ground, and there are no ropes or ladders, so people can only climb them with their bare hands.

When the four of them appeared in the dumb village, the strangely dressed villagers all cast curious and wary glances at them.

The villagers are dressed in a strange way, they are all wearing leather clothes and grass skirts, but they are wearing modern clothes on the outside, which should have been picked up by them, or left by the people of Yin Zhai Village.

Completely different from what Guan Hongru said before, these people don't seem to have any ill will towards them, they just watch from a distance and don't get close.

The lieutenant thought for a moment, and walked straight towards a man under the tree.

The man was very vigilant and turned around to go up the tree, but was stopped by the lieutenant: "Hello, is this a dumb village?" ”

The man didn't answer, just quickly climbed the tree, and then squatted on the tree and looked at Wei Chiran, but also glanced at Guan Hongru not far away.

Guan Hongru stepped forward and said to Wei Chiran: "They are all dumb, that's why it's called a dumb village." ”

Wei Chi wondered: "Dumb? In the 1944 story, the blind old man was not dumb. ”

Guan Hongru said: "When people here reach a certain age, they will take a drug and become dumb, the purpose is to keep the secret here, the blind old man is an alternative, he just became blind after taking the poison, it is better to wait for you to see him, ask yourself." ”

After speaking, Guan Hongru paused and added: "If you can see it." ”

Wei Chiran did not give up, and in the process of passing through the dumb village, he kept trying to communicate with the villagers of the dumb village, but the villagers avoided him, with a kind of fear on their faces, and always kept a certain distance from them.

The behavior of the villagers was completely different from what Guan Hongru said before, which made Wei Chiran feel very strange.

How could these villagers, who were supposed to be vicious, do this?

After passing through the dumb village, Guan Hongru led them to a small stream, leaned down to drink water, and filled the kettle at the same time: "This is the only clean water source, after this stream is the weeping village, there is nothing there." ”

Wei Chiran remembered the story in 1944 when the blind old man took Shan Zhenping and Feng Rui to the creek, and subconsciously looked at Feng Rui.

Looking at the stream, Feng Rui's memories did not completely surface, even if combined with the story of the crying village in 1944, all he could remember were fragmented fragments, unable to integrate them.

After a long time, Feng Rui raised his eyes and looked ahead: "Let's go." ”

Crossing the creek and through the dark bushes, the four of them came to the village of weeping.

The Wailing Village is exactly the same as the one depicted in that story, with wooden houses built around big trees, corpses covered in black mud standing on all sides, and eerie damp and dark corners.

Wei Chiran looked at Feng Rui, who seemed to be standing there in a daze, and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember anything?" ”

Feng Rui shook his head: "No." ”

Because the description in the story is so vague, they don't know where the specific incident took place, only that there was a fire, and it seems that all they need to do is find the house with burn marks.

However, they searched the village and found no burned houses, all of which were intact.

Could it be that the story is fake? Or has it been restored?

Feng Rui walked to one of the wooden houses, stretched out his hand and stroked it, trying to awaken the deep memories in his mind by touching the things in the scene, but unfortunately he still couldn't remember, and his mind was in chaos.

Guan Hongru carried his wife's body to the well, picked up the bucket next to him and threw it into the well, and when he dragged the bucket back, the bucket was filled with black mud.

Guan Hongru began to slowly apply black mud to the surface of his wife's body.

Wei Chi stepped forward and asked, "Is this the so-called flesh coffin?" ”

Guan Hongru said: "Yes, this kind of black mud can keep the body from decaying, and the people of the dumb village think that in this way, the soul of the dead will be sealed and not taken away by the god of death, and in time, the dead can be resurrected." ”

Wei Chi said: "Isn't this nonsense? ”

Guan Hongru just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Feng Rui, who had been looking around for a long time, stepped forward and asked, "How to get to the holy land?" I'm going to find the blind old man. ”

Guan Hongru said: "You are already standing on the Holy Land. ”

"What?" Feng Rui was surprised, "Crying Village is a holy place? ”

Guan Hongru shook his head: "No, the entrance to the holy land is this well, and going down from the well is the holy land, of course, this is as far as I know, but in fact it is not, I don't know." ”

Feng Rui stood at the mouth of the well and looked down, and was about to grab the rope and slide down, but was grabbed by Wei Chiran.

Wei Chiran looked at Guan Hongru and said, "You go first." ”

Guan Hongru's hand smearing the black mud stopped: "You really want to go down?" ”

Feng Rui said: "I have already said, I must go to the Holy Land!" ”

Guan Hongru hesitated for a while and said, "Then, you have to promise me a condition." ”

Wei Chiran asked: "Now put forward the conditions, you have premeditated, right?" ”

Guan Hongru looked at his wife's corpse and said, "If, I mean, if the secret of resurrection from the dead is really discovered in the Holy Land, you have to help me resurrect my wife, is it okay?" That's my only condition. ”

Before Wei Chiran could say anything, Feng Rui immediately said, "Yes!" ”

Feng Rui's unthinking and the eagerness shown along the way, as well as a series of performances about Hongru, and Xiangsha, who now seems to have turned into the walking dead, all made Wei Chiran feel very wrong.

He sensed as if he was caught up in some kind of conspiracy, but he couldn't tell what it was all about.

The other three all seem to have their own agendas.

With the help of Xiangsha, Guan Hongru tied his wife's body to his back, and then grabbed the rope by the well and slowly slid down.

After Guan Hongru slid for a while, he raised his head and said to the top: "There seems to be nothing but black mud below, and there is no entrance." ”

Feng Rui said anxiously: "Are you mistaken?" ”

Guan Hongru below said: "I said, as far as I know, this is the case, I'll try to go down." ”

As he spoke, Guan Hongru slid directly down the rope to the bottom of the well, but the bottom of the well was full of black mud, and he couldn't stand at all.

Wei Chiran and Feng Rui on the edge of the wellhead shone their flashlights below, and saw Guan Hongru tentatively sinking into the black mud.

Wei Chi hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Guan Hongru, whose body was already mostly submerged in the black mud, raised his head and said: "If the entrance is really at the bottom of the well, maybe it is hidden in the black mud, I'll go down and try it." ”

Guan Hongru was completely immersed in the black mud as he spoke, and Feng Rui stood there and leaned over to watch.

Soon, Guan Hongru climbed up from the black mud along the rope again, reached out to wipe the black mud off his face and said, "Below! It's right down there! Just go down and you're good to go! ”

Guan Hongru didn't explain much, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he disappeared into the black mud.

Immediately afterwards, Xiangsha jumped directly into the well, and when Feng Rui was about to jump down, Wei Chiran stopped him and asked, "Do you really believe Guan Hongru?" ”

Feng Rui frowned and said, "I have to go to the Holy Land!" Find the blind old man and ask for clarification! ”

Wei Chiran asked again: "What if you get your memories back?" What exactly do you want? Looking for memories? Or is there another purpose? ”

Feng Rui shook Wei Chiran's hand aside: "I have to find myself!" ”

Find yourself? What does that mean? Are you not yourself now? Wei Chiran watched Feng Rui jump directly into the well, he hesitated for a long time, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and jumped down.

After Wei Chi fell into the well, the whole person fell directly into the black mud, but the time to be wrapped in the black mud was only about ten seconds, and soon he got out of the black mud and fell directly on the soft soil below.

After landing on the ground, Wei Chiran immediately reached out to peel off the black mud on his face, but the black mud seemed to be alive, and it didn't stick to his face and clothes at all, but fell off directly, and after falling to the ground, it turned into black mud balls again.

Feng Rui, Guan Hongru and Xiang Sha, who were standing on the side, looked at this irregular cave in the depths.

Wei Chiran looked up at the well above, and when he shone it with a flashlight, he could clearly see the black mud hanging in the air and still wriggling.

This black mud seems to be really alive, but it is blocked in the well and does not fall, which is simply amazing.

Wei Chi squatted down and looked at the black balls under his feet, and with the naked eye, he could see that there seemed to be small worm-like insects wriggling on the surface of the black balls.

"This is the Holy Land?" Feng Rui walked forward, smelling the dampness that filled the air.

It was a man-made stalactite cave, and from their position there was a path that stretched into the depths of the cave, and every few meters there was a lamp on the side of the road, but the flame in the lamp was rose-red.

Guan Hongru looked uncertain: "The legend is like this. ”
