Chapter 13: The Secret of the Village
According to the old village chief's account, we learned that their village was called Temple Village. It is mainly named after the small temple at the back of the village! The village has a history of hundreds of years. As for why such a village appeared, it is unknown!
Along with the village was the small temple. What was enshrined in the small temple before, it is unknown! However, I heard that there is a response to requests, and the incense is flourishing!
It wasn't until later that the statues in the small temple were knocked down and smashed. That's when the nightmare of the village began!
Ever since the statue was destroyed, people have been dying in the village. It's not surprising that a village is dead! However, Qi Qiqi died several times in this death! And it was a sudden death at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night! This incident made the people in the village feel fear!
At first, they thought it was because the idol had been smashed and the gods were angry with them. As a result, many people made an appointment to go to the small temple to worship the gods and pray for the forgiveness of the gods.
However, it would have been better if they didn't go, and with them gone, something even more terrible happened!
Nothing strange has happened when I went during the day. Everyone came back from the small temple, talking and laughing. Continue to work in the fields. However, at night, those who have been to the small temple to worship the gods will be itchy all over their bodies! If you look at their skin at this time, you will find that their skin has begun to wrinkle and dry all over their body. The color has also changed to blue-gray!
The intense itching sensation made them can't help but scratch the skin all over their body. However, as they grasp it, large swaths of their skin will be torn off, revealing the bloody patch under the skin!
Despite this, they still did not feel the slightest pain. Keep catching!
When the skin is gone, they go to grab the meat. When the meat was gone, they went back to grab the bones. Can't stop!
The people of the village took them to the hospital for a check-up. However, the result of the inspection was that nothing happened to them! Completely healthy all over! Even normal people are not as healthy as they are!
That's weird! If they really don't have a problem, then how can we explain what happened to them?
Gradually, these people began to die! The cause of death was that they were so itchy that they actually scratched their own internal organs!
However, when the man was buried, he actually cheated the corpse! It took a lot of effort to burn the body.
Only now did the people in the village understand that this matter is not so simple! So, they went to the city and found a very famous feng shui master to come to the village to help solve the problem. However, after the feng shui master walked around the village, not only did the problem not be solved, but he suddenly died in fear!
When he was dying, he only said one sentence: "If you want to solve the problems in the village, then you must tear down the small temple!" ”
All of a sudden, the temple village became famous! Many people think that this village is too evil for anyone to dare to meddle in the affairs of this place anymore! And the people in the village will be pointed at behind their backs wherever they go!
After coming and going, the people in the village finally couldn't bear it anymore! Especially those young people who are strong and strong! They began to discuss in groups about tearing down the small temple.
It's better to act than to be excited! So, everyone just started to get started. This time, more than 20 people started demolishing the small temple. And all of them are young and vigorous young men. People believe that these young people who have been born with yang energy will definitely be able to suppress the evil in the small temple!
However, this is not the case! They went and never came back.
People went to look for them near the small temple, but there was no news. It's as if these people suddenly disappeared from this world for no apparent reason!
Until a week later, it rained heavily in the village. That's when the missing young people were found. It turned out that they were all buried in the earth. If it weren't for God's pity on them, washing out their bodies with a heavy rain. I'm afraid the people in the village will never find them!
When something like this happened, people's fear of that little temple deepened again! From then on, no one dared to go to that small temple again. The small temple that could have been used to worship the gods to ensure the safety of one party has become a taboo in the village at this time!
Since then, people have begun to die in the village every now and then. This has also turned a large village with hundreds of people into a small village with only a hundred people.
It wasn't until twenty years ago that an inconspicuous old man came to the village. The situation in the village has improved! He seemed familiar with everything in the village. Then, he found the old village chief and told the old village chief his thoughts.
His idea was simple! In general, it can be summed up in fourteen words: "Life has no desire, death is not buried, men do not marry, women do not marry!" ”
After the old village chief heard the old man's words, he angrily drove the old man out of the village. In his opinion, the old man undoubtedly wanted their entire village to be cut off.
However, after the village had a troublesome incident and was solved by the old man himself, the people in the village reacted. It turns out that this old man is the real master!
So, the old village chief talked with the old man for a whole night. Only then did the decision be made: just do what the old man said. It was also from that time that once someone died in the village, the body would be left at home to live with the living. This also gives Temple Village another resounding name! Ghost Village!
Although the old man seemed to have done the village a great favor, no one in the village had died suddenly. However, the fundamental problems in the village have not been solved! On the contrary, the people of the surrounding villages even more rejected the people of the temple village and did not have any contact with them!
As a result, another group of villagers began to have the idea of demolishing the temple. And this time the temple demolition action, the son and daughter-in-law of the old village chief also participated in it.
This time, they were prepared. I specially spent a lot of money to invite a big god from the next village to come to the outside of the small temple and invite the god once. I hope that I can use the gods to suppress the things in the small temple!
They don't know that the one who danced was already crazy halfway through the jump! It's just that he has been singing and dancing in the so-called invitation to the gods, and at this time, everyone's energy is focused on the small temple. So, everyone didn't notice him!
At noon, when the sun is at its peak and the sun is at its highest, everyone hugs up. The results can be imagined! This time, the people involved in the demolition of the temple never appeared again!
They literally disappeared out of thin air! Later, people said that they might have been buried somewhere. However, no one can say exactly where.
Later, before my second uncle and I came here, another person came who seemed to have some ability. The surname is Joe, and he is a fat man! This Qiao fat man also said some problems in the village. The reason why the villagers want to bury the empty coffin is also the meaning of this fat man. In his words, an empty coffin can ward off disasters! Now that this calamity has been stopped. Then, the things in the village will be solved naturally!
When the people of the village heard this, it seemed to make sense, and they did as he did.
Hearing this, the second uncle couldn't help but snort coldly: "What nonsense! Although the coffin also has the effect of a town house. However, the empty coffin burial will definitely provoke some bad things. The thief is not empty, and the coffin is not empty! That's it! ”
Speaking of this, the second uncle changed his words and said, "However, I really want to see what kind of person that surname Qiao is." How can you say such nonsense! The people of the Qiao family also have such ignorance? ”
Hearing the second uncle say this, I was a little surprised! Could it be that the second uncle has any connection with the surname Qiao?
The old village chief sighed and said, "We don't know where he went. The man was gone after telling us these things. Didn't ask for a penny! ”
Hearing this, the second uncle said in a deep voice: "This shows that he has other plans!" ”
Hearing the second uncle say this, I suddenly thought of something. However, in front of the old village chief, I still didn't ask anything.
The rest of the matter, there is nothing to say. Undoubtedly, this is the situation of the village in recent years.
Listening to the hoarse voice of the old village chief, a wave of tiredness hit. I fell asleep in a daze, too!
It may be due to over-startling, coupled with exertion. I slept very well this night! Before I knew it, I had slept until noon the next day.
I stretched and sat up from the ondol. Only then did I find that the second uncle and the old village chief were not in the house. Even the girl didn't know where to go to play at this time.
When I walked out of the room, I found that my second uncle was sitting under a big tree in the courtyard.
I walked over. The second uncle glanced at me, but did not speak. I asked the second uncle, "Second uncle, you tell me the truth." What did we come to this village to help them for? ”
The second uncle was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Pay off the debt!" ”
"Paying off debts? What debts to repay? ”
For a moment, I was a little confused!
The second uncle said lightly: "Things in the world have causes and effects!" The ancestors planted trees, and the later generations enjoyed the shade. In the same way, the disaster of the ancestors must be borne by the descendants! ”
What does this mean? I don't know at all!
Just when I was about to ask the second uncle what he was going to say, the second uncle suddenly turned his head to me and said, "Lin Shuo, if I guess correctly, all the reasons for this village are because of that small temple. So, I'm going to go to that little temple now. Do you dare to come with me? ”
Hearing the second uncle ask, I immediately patted my chest and said, "Then why don't you dare?" In broad daylight, you are by my side. I'm still afraid that it will eat me? ”
Hearing my words, the corners of the second uncle's mouth twitched slightly, and his face also showed an approving look! Then, he walked out of the old village chief's courtyard with me!
