Chapter 162: Dark Shadow
I grabbed the figure by the shoulder, and pulled him back.
When I pulled him in front of me, I realized that he was actually the child I had met with a shepherd.
"What are you doing here at night?" I asked, looking at the child.
"I want to ask you, haven't you already left, why did you suddenly come back?" The child looked at me and asked.
I didn't answer the child directly, but looked at the child and asked, "How did this village become the way it is, is there something going on in the village?" ”
"It's not because of you, I told you when we met before. You'd better not come to this place, or you'll die. But what I didn't expect from you, you actually left alive. Although you left unharmed, the next unlucky ones are the people in the village. The child shouted to me.
"Tell me what's going on." I looked at the child and said.
The child looked around, and then said, "It's not convenient to talk here, you come with me." ”
As he spoke, the child walked not far away, and I hurried to follow. While following the child, I found that the child was always cautious, but there was nothing abnormal around me, which made me a little confused.
Finally I followed the child into a courtyard, and when I entered, the child hurriedly closed the door. Then the child went straight into the house and lit an oil lamp.
After the child closed the door, I was asked to find a random place to sit.
I looked around and I saw that there was some clutter in the room. Finally I saw a bench not far away, and I walked over to move it and motioned for the children to sit down.
"Now let's talk about what's going on." I looked at the child and said.
The child looked at me and said, "Originally, there was nothing going on in the village, but recently, I don't know why, the livestock in the village have been dying for no reason. Everyone also found a lot of solutions, but it didn't work at all.
One day the village chief said that he was sitting in a dream, and he said that he dreamed of a man dressed in white playing a flute. The flute sounds very beautiful, and it's the same tune you heard me play before. Later, the village chief planned to talk to the man, but before the village chief could speak, the man said that he could help the village chief solve the problems that happened in the village, but the village had to do something accordingly.
Originally, our village had to rely on these livestock, but when the village chief heard that this matter could be solved, he agreed at that time. Before the village chief could ask what the conditions were, he woke up directly. When he told the people in the village about it, they said they couldn't believe it and said it was just a dream. At that time, the village chief was right to think about it, so he didn't care.
But that night, the village chief dreamed of the man in white. The man said to the village chief that the matter could be solved by hanging a flute at the entrance of each house and putting some steamed buns at the gate of the courtyard. Also, the first stranger from the village was to leave him behind and burn all the flutes. Let the man absorb his yang energy, and if the man is not successful, the villagers must cooperate with the man to kill these people, otherwise the village will be attacked by heavy ghosts.
When the village chief woke up, he told everyone about it, and everyone believed it this time. After that, they all hung the flutes at the door, and the steamed buns were placed outside the courtyard gate. Since then, no one has ever died in the village. But just yesterday, you suddenly appeared. And to our surprise, you are safe and sound.
This means that the villagers want to kill you, but the villagers have been thinking about it for a long time, but they still dare not do it, and finally they have to drive you away. The child looked at the dim light of the oil lamp and told the whole story
"Then why are you the only child in the village?" I asked, looking at the child.
"Actually, you should have noticed that almost all of these dozen or so families are gone. They were all families with children, and they had already left the place when the village animals began to die. ”
"I have one more thing, why did you pretend not to know me before." I looked at the child and asked.
The boy looked at me and said, "If I let the people of the village know that I won't let you come here, then I won't stay here." ”
I thought about it for a while, and if the people in the village knew what this child had said to us, I thought the child would not have been able to do better.
Seeing that I did not speak, the child said, "I don't know how you survived, but I advise you to leave here as soon as possible to prevent the villagers from encountering you." ”
I smiled after hearing this, and then said, "You can rest assured, I still have some measure." ”
I suddenly remembered the coffin of the village chief's house, and then hurriedly asked, "By the way, why is there a coffin in the village chief's house?" ”
"Because this incident was dreamed of by the village chief, and what he said before has been fulfilled. The village chief was afraid that something would find him, so he placed a coffin in his house and placed a scarecrow in his clothes. It is said that this will allow you to avoid the entangled demons. ”
I smiled and thought to myself that the village chief was quite smart. It's true that you'll be able to avoid ghosts, but that's only for ordinary ghosts.
"Woo......" Suddenly a voice came into my ears.
I frowned, then looked at the child and said, "You just stay in the house, and no matter what happens, don't leave this place." ”
The child looked at me with a puzzled expression, but eventually nodded.
Then I pulled out several charms and pasted one on the door and window of the house.
When the child saw me pull out the charm, he looked at me with a different expression.
After a few moments, the child came back to his senses, looked at me and asked, "Are you ...... Are you a Taoist priest? ”
I turned my head to smile and nodded at the child, whose eyes lit up when he saw me nodding. But before he could speak, I pushed open the door and walked out.
When I got out of the house, I closed the door. I jumped up the fence and then climbed onto the roof.
When I opened the eye of heaven and looked around the village, I noticed that there was a yin qi on the west side of the village, and the yin qi was constantly approaching the village.
I smiled at the approaching Yin Qi, and jumped off the roof.
