Chapter 51: Into the Village

After Lao Luo and I took that thing, Master Fang touched it and said that it was not good, I was busy asking what was not a good method, he shook his head and said that the branches of this thing are made of willow branches, which attracts evil spirits.

Since ancient times, there is a saying that the willow is not planted before and not planted after the locust, saying that the wicker branch is a ghost hand, and people living in this environment for a long time will attract evil spirit and make people bedridden, in fact, this has nothing to do with whether the evil is evil or not, the main thing is that catkins are easy to cause respiratory discomfort or lesions.

But this wicker has a different saying in the mouth of Master Fang, who is a monk, he said that wicker is a place where yin and evil things especially like to hide, which is related to the five elements of yin and yang, and he said a bunch of explanations that I don't understand.

Master Fang threw the object of the five plagues into the fire, and I stared at the fire that was burning more vigorously and whispered to Lao Luo, "Isn't the willow branch to drive away evil spirits?" Why did our Fang Immortal Dao say that he was recruiting evil spirits? ”

"Each sect has its own opinions, in fact, I am also biased towards your statement, there is a sentence in "The Romance of the Su Family" "On the first day of the first lunar month, take willow to enter the house, and a hundred ghosts do not enter the house", don't we also have a saying that wicker fights ghosts?

Maybe the reason why that thing uses wicker is to use wicker to drive away ghosts, and Master Fang may just be standing in the identity of another Fang Shi to explain. ”

I nodded in agreement, but I didn't know who made this ghost in this place, and I said, "The guy who combed his hair last night, could it be because of this?" ”

"Who knows, we're going to leave this place soon, so don't worry." After Lao Luo finished speaking, he beckoned everyone to put out the fire and continue on the road.

After descending the mountain, the sky gradually darkened, and then we could reach the village of Liujia after climbing a small hill in front of us.

"Are we going to spend the night in that village today?" I asked, and Lao Luo nodded and said, "When they entered the village before, they said that someone received them, and those 'people' don't know if they only haunt at night."

Hearing is believing, and I want to find out if there are really people in the village. ”

Recalling that Lao Luo told me about Captain Cheng and what happened to them, I was inexplicably nervous and excited.

At ten o'clock we crossed the hill and came to the front of the village, and when I looked at it, several lights were lit in the house, and I immediately felt goosebumps in myself, and Captain Cheng in front of me also stopped.

"It's the place, how's it going? I'm not wrong, right? A ghost village indeed! His lips were a little pale, and he could see that he was very scared and nervous.

Master Fang pondered for a moment and nodded, "I did feel a very refreshing cold aura, and apart from us, I didn't feel a trace of yang energy around here, and the people I saw later were definitely not people." ”

Lao Luo was also obviously trembling, and he said in a low voice: "Master Fang, we all rely on you this time." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, I haven't paid attention to a few Earth Binding Spirits yet." Master Fang snorted coldly, and I asked in a low voice, "What is a Earth Binding Spirit?" ”

"The soul of a person after death is a spirit, whether it is an evil spirit or a resentful spirit, it is because of the obsession in the heart before death, and the same is true for the earth-bound spirits, the obsession in their hearts exists somewhere, so after death, they will wander in this place called the earth-bound spirit." Master Fang explained.

I nodded my head to show that I understood, and at this moment, Captain Cheng in front of me suddenly let out an 'ah', and several of us looked in the direction he was looking, and under the flashlight, a farmer with a hoe and a hat was walking towards us.

The farmer was not afraid of life, so he walked three or four meters away from us and stopped, looked at us, and said with a smile: "Outsiders, right? ”

Captain Cheng couldn't say a word because of his extreme nervousness, Lao Luo walked to the front calmly and nodded: "Well, when I went to this Tongbai Mountain outdoor adventure, I accidentally walked here, I don't know if my brother can tell us where this is?" ”

"We don't have a name for this mountain pimple, and everyone in the village is surnamed Liu, even if it's Liujia Village." The farmer smiled very calmly.

I stared at each other for a few moments, and if I hadn't heard that there was no one alive here, I would have thought of this person as an honest ordinary farmer.

"You definitely won't be able to get out today, it's so late in the woods to inevitably encounter jackals, tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts, why don't you go to the village to rest for a night?" The farmer sent out an invitation.

"If you can't ask for it, then Brother Lao will lead the way." Lao Luo wiped his forehead, and it wasn't cold sweat or hot sweat.

The farmer smiled and turned to us and waved at us, "Come with me, I'll ask my mother-in-law to make you something to eat." ”

He led the way in front, and the four of us whispered in the back.

"How? Is it a human or a ghost? I lowered my voice and asked, and Master Fang shook his head: "I'll talk about it later." ”

It seems that he is afraid of startling the snake, he quietly took out something from his sleeve and stuffed it into my hand, I spread out my hand to see that it was a few pills, and he said in a low voice: "Divide it, it's cold outside, take some medicine to prevent a cold first." ”

This is definitely not a cold medicine, although I don't know what kind of pill it is, but it is definitely not poison, I gave one to Lao Luo and Captain Cheng, and slapped the pill into my mouth and swallowed it.

After entering the village, I was still walking all the way, and I came to a tiled house, and my flashlight shook on it, although it looked old but not dilapidated at all, which was a little different from what Captain Cheng described before.

Is this an illusion? But it was too real, and I didn't feel the wet moss when I touched my fingers on the wall tiles.

"Come in and sit." The farmer put down his hoe and greeted us into the house warmly, when a peasant woman dressed in flowers came out with a few bowls of hot tea, and she smiled and said, "Don't mind some coarse tea, drink some warm up first." ”

Except for Master Fang, a few of us were all a little on pins and needles, and we were afraid that the two rural couples in front of us, who seemed to be loyal, honest and kind, would become paper figures or green-faced and fanged ghosts in the next second.

"Where did you come from? Where are you going? After the farmer sent his wife to cook, he asked, how does this sentence sound like the opening words of those goblins in "Journey to the West" in front of Tang Seng.

Captain Cheng secretly glanced at Lao Luo, I also set my eyes on him, Lao Luo nodded in understanding, and he said: "Actually, we are a publishing house, and I heard that there is a descendant of Liu Bowen living in this mountain, so I want to visit and find some stories." ”

"Oh, I see." The farmer nodded, thought for a while, and said, "That's another Liujia Village, but no one has lived in it for a long time, so you guys have run for nothing this time." ”
