When I joked with Wang Jiaqi that I hadn't eaten the baby fish she promised me, Wang Jiaqi didn't laugh.

She looked worried and said, "The baby fish must have something for you to eat......"

When I saw Wang Jiaqi like that, I asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Wang Jiaqi said: "I'm thinking, why does our Shangtang Village seem very weird, when did this start? ”

I thought about it, comforted her and said: "In fact, every place in the world has died, every village, if you study carefully, there are more or less strange things, you don't have to think too much. ”

Wang Jiaqi still didn't feel relieved at all, shook his head gently, and said: "I always feel that this is not the case, in fact, I have felt this way for a while." ”

I said, "Maybe it's because your Shangtang Village has a long history." ”

Actually, what I want to say is: Maybe it's because you see things from a different perspective than others, right? Everything is abnormal in the eyes of an abnormal person.

Wang Jiaqi sat in front of me, lowered his head, and said softly: "Actually, I still have one more thing to tell you. As a matter of fact...... Actually, I'm not sure if it's my own eyes. ”

I wondered, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Wang Jiaqi looked back and forth, slid back a little, sat next to me, and said softly: "It's still when my grandfather died, on the third night." Because I was going to send my grandfather up the mountain the next morning, basically the whole village went to the third uncle's house, and you know the spirit of wearing linen and filial piety? But I had a cold that day, so I didn't go. ”

"Around twelve o'clock, the children mostly went back to bed, and the adults were left. There are at least a hundred people in total, and they were noisy and shouting, but suddenly they became very quiet, and the silence was terrible, you know? I was in the attic of my wing, and I thought it was strange, so I crept up to the courtyard to see what was going on......

"Crawling through?" I said strangely.

Wang Jiaqi said: "The wooden plank upstairs, as soon as you walk on it, it will make a sound, don't you know?" I had to crawl slowly to avoid making a sound. I didn't know what was going on at the time, I just thought it was weird, so of course I had to be careful. ”

"I see," I said, nodding, "and what do you see?" ”

Wang Jiaqi said mysteriously: "I saw a man, or a man in ancient times. ”

"Men of old?" I suddenly remembered Mr. Kobayashi and hurriedly asked, "What is he dressed in?" ”

Wang Jiaqi thought for a while and said, "He is wearing ancient clothes, with large sleeves, a bun on his head, and a square scarf. ”

It's really like Mr. Kobayashi!

"What does he look like?" I asked hurriedly.

"I don't know." Wang Jiaqi shook his head and said.

"Don't know?" I was a little anxious, "Why don't you know?" ”

Wang Jiaqi said: "At that time, he was standing in the courtyard, facing the gate of the hall, I only saw his back, and I didn't see his face until he left, of course I don't know what he looks like." ”

This is not surprising.

I nodded and said, "What about later?" What did the man do later? ”

A gust of night wind blew, Wang Jiaqi seemed to feel a little cold, hugged his arms, and shrunk his feet.

"At that time, I saw that only the man was standing, and the rest of the people in our village were all lying and lying on their stomachs. In the courtyard, in the hall, everywhere, it was as if they were all asleep. As I crawled over, I saw the man pull out a gourd......"

"Gourd? What kind of gourd? I hurriedly asked again.

Wang Jiaqi thought about it carefully and said: "It's a red gourd, it looks ordinary, but there is a 10,000-character symbol at the bottom, which is ...... It's the one where the two Zs cross. ”

"Wasn't it night? How do you see so clearly? I said.

Wang Jiaqi said: "At that time, many places were lit and stopped, and there were several fires burning in the yard, which shone as if it were daytime, and of course I could see it clearly. You, a city dweller, don't know the rules of funerals in the countryside. ”

I forgot about this, and I didn't expect to be despised by her, so I had to smile and say, "What happened then?" ”

Wang Jiaqi said: "Later, the man lifted the gourd, the bottom side up, and the mouth side down. After he unplugged the gourd, he recited a sentence that I don't know what it was, as if it was a mantra, and I didn't hear it clearly. Then he shouted again: 'Let me in all of them!' ’……”

When Wang Jiaqi said this, his body trembled even more.

I was amazed and didn't quite understand what was going on.

After a while, Wang Jiaqi continued: "After the man shouted like this, he saw a gust of wind suddenly rolling up in the courtyard and in the hall. ”

I tried to imagine the scene from Wang Jiaqi's point of view, presumably she was really scared when she saw such a strange thing, and she was probably very powerful if she didn't pee her pants.

"And then? Did the man just leave? Seeing that Wang Jiaqi didn't speak, I was worried that she was overly indulged in the feelings at that time, so I reminded her to continue.

Wang Jiaqi really shook his body, as if he had woken up, shook his head, and continued: "No, he didn't leave like this immediately. After the man put away the gourd, he shook the big sleeve of his left hand like this, and said something again, and I saw that his sleeve actually rolled up a gust of wind. The gust of wind circled around the courtyard and then around the hall, and soon there was no sound. ”

"And then the man left."

After the man was gone, all the people in the village suddenly woke up, and they all looked at each other, and at last they all laughed as if they were very happy. After laughing for a long time, they started to do other things. ”

"It was such a long story, but it was so fast, maybe less than a minute, and I felt like I was in a dream."

"Later, I looked for the man everywhere and asked the people in the village, but I never saw the man again, and I didn't ask for any news."

"You know what? It was true that the people in the village didn't like me very much, and I know that. But most of the people in the village are relatives, and even if they don't like me, they sometimes care about me, bring me something to eat, send me seeds, and help me with some farm work. But from that night onwards, they were different, they treated me like an enemy and a monster, and they ignored me and cut me off. In the past year, I have not said more than ten sentences to them, believe it or not? ”

I nodded and casually said, "I believe." ”

However, I was still thinking about the situation.

Judging by Wang Jiaqi's description, could it be that the man—who may or may not be Mr. Kobayashi—replaced the souls of everyone in the village? That is, to drive out the original soul and let another soul possess it.

This one...... Is it possible?

As far as I know, it is very difficult to get the soul of a large living person out of his body. Even if it's me, I can only beat out the possessed soul, and if it's the original soul, I can't do anything.

What's more, driving out the souls of hundreds of people at one time, and then possessing hundreds of souls, such an ability, I'm afraid only a great god like Emperor Xudu can do it, right?

Even if that man is Mr. Kobayashi, even if Mr. Kobayashi is really powerful, can he really do this?

However, according to Wang Jiaqi's description, it is indeed really similar.

Don't...... Could it be that Wang Jiaqi said that the gourd is strange?

My heart moved, and I searched for the Cherry One in my head.

Sure enough, there is!

Soul searching gourd, the treasure of the underworld, good at absorbing the soul, can take the soul of the living and use it. When you recite the mantra "Anchu Bora", you can collect the souls of millions of people at a time.

Awesome!
