Chapter 59: The Past

"Don't bother with that coffin, although we don't know what's inside, as long as we don't provoke it, we won't get up and be a demon."

Lao Luo was also very concerned about the existence of the coffin, he walked into the room with bookshelves and beckoned to me, I looked back at the coffin twice and walked next to him, saw him pick up a parchment booklet and asked, "Are there any clues?" ”

"No, this is the ledger of the village, but I believe that the booklet that contains the secret must also be mixed in." Lao Luo was very sure, and I also picked up the booklet full of dust on the bookshelf and flipped through it.

As he said, I flipped through a few books and recorded all the daily activities in the village.

For example, on a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, a certain family's child is sick, and the village chief goes to the ancestral hall to pray for blessings in the hope that the ancestors will bless the child to recover as soon as possible, or for example, in a certain year, the village chief takes the clan to the ancestral hall to ask for rain.

I flipped through a few more books and felt bored, and when I was about to give up, I caught a glimpse of a few pages of paper hidden in the stack, and I reached out and took it out and just read it.

On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month of the eighth year of the Republic of China, the mid-year festival, on this day, the village was carrying out the sacrificial activities of worshipping ancestors, and three young people came from outside the village.

The three men said they got lost in the mountains, and at night they saw the lights on here before they rushed all the way over.

Outsiders are not welcome in the village, and outsiders are never allowed to stay overnight, but because of the ancestor worship that day, the village chief thought that it was the kindness of the ancestors who wanted them to save the lives of the three foreigners, so he made an exception and put them in the village.

But what they didn't expect was that this group of people came here not because of the kindness of their ancestors, but because of the will of the evil spirits.

A strange thing happened the night when the three guys arrived in the village, an old man in the village was killed in a violent collision that night, and the body turned into a purple dried corpse before it could be put into the coffin.

The next day, two more children died inexplicably at the head of the village, which cast a shadow on the hearts of everyone in the village.

These strange things had never happened before, and everyone couldn't help but associate these two strange things with the three strangers.

Although there was no evidence, the village chief still issued an eviction order, and the three strangers did not say much, but thanked them for the hospitality of the two days and left the village.

Originally, I thought that this was the end of the matter, but on the day of the violent death of the old man's first seven, the old man's family waited outside for dawn, and found a sneaky person around the house.

They immediately beat gongs and drums to summon the others, and after a long period of pursuit, they finally caught the man, who was one of the three strangers who had left the village a few days before.

After some torture, this person finally told the truth, it turned out that the three of them were Wu Zhu from Miao Jiang, who was kicked out for violating the rules and went around helping people do evil and collect money.

However, this time they came to Liujia Village entirely because this village was isolated from the world and was an excellent place to refine Evil Gu, even if the entire village died mysteriously, no one would know.

So after they arrived here, they didn't do it first, but arranged the Five Plagues Yin Gathering Technique around them, found an excuse to enter the village, and quietly buried the Gu Gu.

It doesn't matter if they stay here or not after the deed is done, because with these Gu will slowly take the lives of the living, and the souls of the dead will be trapped in place and unable to be reborn.

If the living and the dead live together, the yin and yang will lose their life, which will accelerate the time of death of the living, and the soul of the dead will not be able to get out, which is a very vicious scheme and a dangerous death cycle.

The people in the village turned pale when they heard this, and the fact that the captured man was beaten to death was regarded as evil retribution.

Just when the people in the village were panicking and didn't know what to do, the clansmen who went out to buy goods brought back a Taoist priest.

The one who purchased the things was the descendant of the old man who had become a purple-skinned corpse, and after he went to the city, he asked this Taoist priest to do the old man who wanted to die a tragic death, and as soon as this Taoist priest landed, he knew that this place had become a place of yin and evil by others.

After the village chief told the matter, the Taoist priest said to go and see the corpse of the stranger, but he didn't expect to wait until he went to dig up the soil where the stranger was buried, only to know that the corpse was gone.

This part of the information is missing a long section in the middle, and the exact process is unknown, but the final result is that the dead Wu Zhu turned into a zombie, and the Taoist priest and the villagers worked together to put each other's uniforms into the coffin and suppress them with charms.

Later, the Taoist priest made a lot of stand-in dolls to replace the villagers according to the situation in this village, and the villagers who were still alive needed to migrate to other places as a whole, which is the approximate reason why Liujia Village became like this.

I handed these pages to Lao Luo, "Take a look, I think the only information is useful." ”

Obviously, in the coffin in the other room was the zombie that the stranger had turned.

I looked back at the coffin and my eyes were a little creepy, especially the few charms that fell from the coffin to the ground, maybe these charms have a limited time to suppress, or the number of charms will be smaller, and the effect of suppression will be weakened.

After a while, Lao Luo also finished reading it, and his eyes also fell on the coffin, his face showed solemnity, and he said to the other master: "There is a zombie in that coffin." ”

"Well, I'm not good at dealing with that thing, let's see if I can find a clue as soon as possible and get out of here."

The three of us sped up the progress of our hands, and kept rummaging through various books and booklets, looking for things that might have clues to human souls.

It didn't take long for Lao Luo to find an ancient bronze key, although I don't know where it was opened, but this is the only clue we can find in this basement.

"Since the key is hidden here, the lock should not be too far away, it must be somewhere in this ancestral hall, first see if there is a dungeon in this basement where this key can be inserted."

After Lao Luo finished speaking, the three of us once again groped in the basement, and after a few minutes we all shook our heads and said that we had found nothing, and the only place in this space that had not been explored at the moment was the room where the coffin was placed.

Lao Luo and I looked at each other, he took a few deep breaths and said to me, "It seems that we can't miss that place, go in and have a look, if there is anything abnormal, we will withdraw immediately." ”

Master Fang also nodded and said, "Try not to get within three feet of the coffin, I'm afraid that the qi on the living person will make this zombie active." ”

After saying goodbye to each other, the three of us walked into the room where the coffin was kept, which was a little more spacious, and the layout looked like a large bedroom, with a large vermilion lacquered mahogany bed in front of the coffin.
