The heavy rain in the sky was still falling, and just as Fang Zheng turned his head to look at the shopping building, at this time, in another dark and cramped house in this Southeast Asian city.

In the darkness, there was a little bit of fire flickering and extinguishing, and between the light and the extinction, it seemed that it was faintly visible that it was the fire from a stick of incense.

And at this moment, this incense stick is inserted in an antique incense burner in front of a shrine.

As the incense burns, from time to time there are dots of incense ash spilled, and... The air smelled of decay like the stench of corpses.

And this smell of corpse decay comes from the incense in the dark.

Rustle rustle......

This is the sound of the shadows of the trees being blown by the wind and rain, and the strange black shadows of the trees are reflected on the glass windows outside the house, like human hands clinging to the glass windows and twisting back and forth.

At first, I thought it was the shadow of a tree, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a tree shadow in one area, which is very weird, as if it is the outline of a human face, motionless, not like the shadow of a tree that is blown back and forth by the wind and rain.

It was a human face, I don't know when it was attached to the glass outside the window, motionless, as if the whole face was lying outside the dark glass window in the night, as if it was constantly peeking into the house.

It was only because there was no light in the house, and it was raining heavily outside the house, and it was dark at night, so the existence of the human face was not noticed at first.

It was also because of the darkness of the night that I couldn't see the human face clearly......

But this is still the weirdest thing, the weirdest thing is that the human face only has a head, not a body below the neck... It's not like someone is peeping out of the window at all!

It's more like, a head is directly lying out of the window and peeping!!

This is a very strange scene, a head without a body, in the dead of night, I don't know when, lying outside the glass window and peeping into the room, the more I think about this situation, the more I make people feel furious.

However, at this moment, an old woman's voice came from the room.

"Humph!"

The old woman's voice was dissatisfied and snorted.

"Turning a barbarian into a barbarian is a barbarian, uncivilized at all, and I don't know the etiquette. ”

"Didn't the adults in your family teach you to know the etiquette when you meet people, and don't kill the cat because of curiosity?!"

The old woman's voice was like the shrill roar of a wild cat, extremely harsh and unpleasant.

There is still a person in this room.

It was only because the lights were not turned on in the house, and the rainy night was especially dark, so I couldn't find anyone in the house at the first time.

But the most amazing thing is that what this old woman said was actually Chinese, not Southeast Asian languages.

She is from China.

and not indigenous to Southeast Asia.

Rustle rustle......

The shadows of the trees outside the window are still swaying in the wind and rain, only the silhouette of the human face hidden in the shadow of the trees has always maintained the original action of lying on the glass window, motionless.

"I heard a rumor... Said to be in the East Soil... There was once a heavy snowstorm...... "Outside the window, a middle-aged man's voice sounded.

The middle-aged man also spoke Chinese, but he bumped and bumped, not as smooth as the old woman's voice before. He speaks Chinese very lamely and awkwardly, with a strong accent and a local Southeast Asian accent.

And listening to the source of the sound, it seems to be coming from the direction of the floating face outside the window.

The gloomy voice continued: "At that time... Because of the cold weather, no matter what seeds are planted in the ground... I can't live... Leads to famine ... Many people died, and people ate all the animals and wild vegetables in the mountains, and began to go deep into the mountains in search of food... Later, there was a farmer who went deeper into the mountains to hunt... No one knows what this farmer has experienced in the mountains, and he has not returned for three days......"

Just when the farmer's family thought that he had been killed in the mountains, he must have encountered some tiger, bear, wolf, leopard and wild beast, and was eaten by the wild beast, but on the third day, the farmer brought back a lot of food, saving the lives of the whole village... From that day on, the village changed, it became a day without going out, every house was closed, chanting scriptures, burning incense, worshipping gods all day long... Don't you farm, don't work, don't hunt, but can the whole village starve to death, don't you think it's strange?"

"At that time, the people who were famine began to wonder if this village had surplus grain in the past, and there was a lot of food, so they could not starve to death? Then some people began to sneak into the village and try to steal food, and as a result, guess what happened? Those who entered the village actually returned to the village with cartloads of grain, and from that day on, those villages also became exactly the same as the first village, no need to work, no need to go out, burn incense every day, chant scriptures, and never starve to death. ”

"Ha ......" The voice outside the window suddenly let out a short laugh, and this laughter seemed to be mocking and mocking.

"Until one day, a Taoist priest passed by these villages, and then his face changed greatly, and he immediately went to the local government, do you know why the Taoist priest's face suddenly changed so much?"

The old woman in the room did not speak this time, and the voice outside the window was still talking.

"I heard that later, the Taoist priest and the government people drove several cars, one cart after another, and kept transporting them out of those villages, and it took several days and nights to transport all the corpses of the villagers. ”

"It turns out... Hehe, the villagers of those villages have already starved to death, and they have all died as dry corpses, and they don't know that they are dead, and they still lock themselves in the house, burning incense and chanting scriptures all day long... They don't worship a god, they worship a shrine. ”

"What food, what to eat, until it was discovered by the Taoist priest, it was revealed that everything was fake. Later, the Taoist priest led the way and led many troops into the mountains to search the mountains, but no one knew the situation in the mountains, only that there was a fire in the mountains, and the forest fire burned for a whole day and a night......"

"It turned out that there was a group of people who wanted to continue cultivating and living when their spiritual energy was exhausted, spreading believers everywhere, believing in them, worshipping them, and using incense to cultivate, in this way to keep themselves from the pages of spiritual energy depletion, and because they couldn't cultivate, their bodies collapsed and perished. Recently, however, I heard a rumor that most of those people had died, and that only a few had escaped and gone into exile in Southeast Asia, where they have been hidden to this day. ”

"I think the shrines in this house are similar to the shrines worshiped by the villagers in those villages... You shouldn't be one of those people, right?"

Silent.

"How much more do you know?" said the old woman's voice in the room.

Sounds fluctuate around the room, and it's always hard to pinpoint the exact location.

Outside the window, the voice of the vulture: "I also heard... These people also practice the "Seventy-two Earth Evil Incense Spectrum", let me guess, the incense stick in this room is probably one of the incense in the "Seventy-two Earth Evil Incense Spectrum"? What are you going to do when you light the "Seventy-two Earth Evil Incense Spectrum" in the city? What is the purpose?"
