Chapter Forty-Nine: Strange Things in the Mountain Village

The atmosphere is always a little sad, and under the gloomy sky, a monk is walking together.

To the south of Jeju is Nanxiang, and to the south of Nanxiang is Nanjiang. This journey of thousands of miles is for an incomplete feeling.

"Monk, let's go to the front and rest." , I pointed to a fast food restaurant in front of me, it was already afternoon since I left Qin's house.

"Okay, go get something to eat."

We took our backpacks and walked into the fast food restaurant, and ordered a bowl of ramen by ourselves, since we ate Bodhi fruit, our body functions are much stronger than before, and we don't feel hungry after eating one meal a day, and this time we came in purely to pass the time of boredom.

After the ramen arrived, we were just about to start eating, and two people came in the door, one old and one young, dressed in coarse cloth clothes and speaking an obscure dialect, sitting in the corner of the fast-food restaurant.

When I looked up, my pupils contracted suddenly, and the old man's eyes were bloodshot, and there was a pungent death breath all over his body. It was as if his life was being devoured by something, which meant that he could have lived another ten years, and now he could not live for three years! Looking at the little child's listlessness with his head shrugged, it was clear that it was also a situation.

The child helped the old man to sit down, and the two ordered a fried rice, and while waiting, the child said, "Grandpa, I seem to be sicker today than yesterday."

"Baby, eat more, you'll be well when you're full." The old man tried to squeeze a smile out of his face.

"I don't want to eat, grandpa, why did the master you said take our money and promised to treat our illness but didn't cure it." , the child complained dissatisfied.

"Baby! Don't talk nonsense, the master won't lie to us. The old man glared, his right hand carefully grasping his pocket, I guessed that it might be to send money to that master.

I pushed the bowl, got up and walked to the old man's side, and said with a smile: "Old man, can I show your grandson this disease?"

The old man looked at me and said in disbelief, "You know?"

I nodded, pulled out a Blood Breaker, put it in the teacup, lit it, and fed the ashes to the kid along with the tea.

After a while, the child's breath recovered a lot, his eyes seemed to be brighter than before, he looked up and smiled, "Grandpa, I feel much better!"

When the old man heard this, tears flowed down his eyes, and he knelt on the ground, "Master, save our village." The boy knelt down with him.

At this kneeling, everyone in the restaurant looked over, and I quickly pulled the old man up and said, "Don't worry, old man, you can take us to the village to have a look in a while."

The old man nodded hurriedly, and the little child suddenly interjected: "Grandpa, these two brothers are going with us, can we still find that master?"

The old man was obviously also a smart man, and he waved his hand and said, "Let your two brothers go and see it first."

Yuanhong and I left the fast food restaurant and followed the old man and the young man to the village, this mountain road back and forth for more than ten miles, it is hard to imagine how the old man and the two came to come.

When we arrived at the village, there were already stars overhead.

This village is really called a mountain village, and the surrounding mountains give it a bit more primitive color.

"Two masters, the front is it." The old man panted and pointed ahead.

The boy lay on my back and sighed, "In the past, grandpa could chase prey back and forth in this rolling mountain, but since he got this strange disease, he is tired of walking two steps."

"It's okay, we'll cure your grandfather."

"Uh-huh." The child nodded vigorously.

"What's your name?" , I asked, tilting my head.

"My name is Little Rock." The child replied to me very seriously.

"Sounds good." I smiled at him, and it made him satisfied.

After walking for a while, I could faintly see a few lights on in front of me, which should have been bright at this time in other places, but in this mountain it seems that even electricity is a luxury.

When I walked to the entrance of the village, Yuanhong touched my arm, "Lao Zhang, look at that." ”

Following the direction of his finger, I looked at the ancestral hall over there, and I didn't know what was enshrined in it, but I saw that the lights were bright, and the incense candles were inserted all over the incense burner. The candlelight was a little brighter than the lights in the village.

"What's that?" I looked at the old man.

"That's what Master Liu asked us to set up, saying that the gods to be worshiped can bless our side with peace."

Yuanhiro and I walked over and looked at the ancestral hall, which was actually enshrined by a white bone dressed in a gauze robe.

"It's ...... Lady Bones. Yuanhong was a little puzzled.

"Lady Bones?"

This term is not unfamiliar to me, Zhang Qianyu also mentioned at the beginning, Mrs. White Bone is a powerful ghost, since the establishment of the White Bone Sect, it has always been for the benefit of the people of Li, worshiped by thousands of incense, the merit is immeasurable, and it will soon be cultivated to a positive fruit.

"So, that Master Liu has a connection with Lady White Bone?" , I asked.

"Hehe, it's just nonsense." , Yuan Hong sneered.

"Oh? Why? ”

"Although Mrs. White Bone was worshiped by thousands of incense after she attained enlightenment, she was the image of a beautiful woman every time she helped others, so the ancestral hall that people built for her was also the appearance of a woman, which is clearly fake!" , Yuanhong's words were filled with anger, although the White Bone Lady said that it was a ghost and a demon, it was what Yuanhong yearned for in Buddhism, and no one was allowed to blaspheme.

"It's getting interesting." I smiled and walked in the direction of the village.

This mountain village is called Baishi Village, and Yuhuang Village is the same, there are more than 20 households, there are no entertainment activities at night, and they have lived on the mountains for generations, and the old man just now is the head of this village, Shishan.

We followed Shi Shan to his house, a simple farm yard, the vegetables are home-grown vegetables, the meat is wild animals in the mountains, this dinner I ate Yuan Hong and I were full of oil, and then I took out the broken blood charm in the bag, dripped my blood and told Shi Shan to burn to ashes, wash down with water to temporarily alleviate the condition.

Then I asked him what had happened, and it turned out that this was what had happened.

On this day, the villager Shi Hai went to the field to do farm work as usual, but under a hoe, he actually dug out a thing wrapped in cloth and had a talisman attached to it, his curiosity came up, and after opening it, it was the white bone statue enshrined in the ancestral hall, Shi Hai saw that this thing was a little weird and discarded it in the yard after taking it home. After that, strange things happened, Shi Hai died at home, and when he died, his body looked like an old man of seventy or eighty years old. After that, all the people in the village were infected with this strange disease, and they couldn't be cured, so there was no way, the village chief Shi Shan could only take the money raised by the villagers, and walk more than ten miles of mountain roads with Xiaoshi to the city to invite people to come and see. After Master Liu collected the money, he set up an ancestral hall here to enshrine this statue, and after the villagers did not get better, Shishan and Xiaoshi went to the city again, and they met us.

"Perhaps, the enshrinement there has nothing to do with Lady White Bone at all." , I said aloud.

"It could be an evil god." Yuan Hong muttered.
