After entering the village, I found that our village was quiet and deadly silent, but tonight's silence was different from the previous one.

The reason why our village was dead silent before was because Zhao Laofu used his ability to hypnotize the villagers and those livestock in our village. At this moment, almost all the livestock in our village were awake, and they were all curled up in their nests and shivering, as if they had sensed what was about to happen.

Moreover, every household in the village basically has the door closed, the door is locked, and some people even have a red rope tied to the door, and a layer of incense ash is sprinkled outside the gate.

I know that this is the local method that has been inherited from our village, incense is a thing to worship the gods and Buddha, and the fragrance emitted from it can ward off evil spirits, and the incense ash left after burning is the thing of the sun, which will make the evil things extremely fearful.

However, now that our village is surrounded by thousands of evil spirits, are these methods really useful?

The thought that in three hours the demon army might invade our village and destroy the homes that these ordinary villagers had guarded all their lives overnight, made me feel guilty.

In the final analysis, it was my Zheng family who affected them.

I clenched my fist, and when I go back, no matter what, I have to find a way to find what my Zheng family guards, and then hand it over to the Ghost Emperor.

No matter how important that thing is, how important it can be to have hundreds of innocent lives?

Thinking of this, I took a deep breath, then picked up my pace and ran quickly home.

When I got home, I found that my house was brightly lit, Widow Liu was standing in the yard with a heavy face, and Li Shihua was standing under the eaves playing with the military thorn in her hand.

When she saw me come back, Widow Liu asked me, "Zheng Yi, how did you come back?" They didn't do anything to you, did they? ”

I shook my head and said, "Aunt Liu, I'm fine, by the way, is my third uncle back?" ”

"Nope!" When it came to my third uncle, Widow Liu also looked dark.

Seeing this, my heart sank, and now our Zheng family is at a critical juncture of life and death, and if we are not careful, we may be wiped out. And at this critical moment, the third uncle is neither in the ancestral grave nor in the village, where is he?

Could something happen to him?

"What's in your hand?" Li Shihua suddenly stepped forward and looked at the scroll in my hand and asked. I handed the scroll to her when I heard this, and she frowned after reading it, and said with a gloomy face: "It's the battle book of the Ghost Emperor, it seems that this time the Ghost Emperor is determined to turn against your Zheng family!" ”

"Aunt Liu, what exactly is the thing that my Zheng family is guarding?" I looked at Widow Liu and asked, but she shook her head when she heard the words and said, "I'm sorry Zheng Yi, I can't tell you!" ”

After hearing Widow Liu's words, I was angry, at this time, they still didn't tell me the truth?

How long are they going to hide it from me?

Is it that even if all my Zheng family members are dead, they won't tell me?

I took a deep breath, made my tone as calm as possible, and said: "Aunt Liu, now it has come to the moment of life and death of my Zheng family, the third uncle is not here, and the ancestors of the Zheng family are not here, if you want to help my Zheng family, then you can tell me everything you know." ”

Widow Liu didn't say anything when she heard this, just looked at the night sky silently, I gritted my teeth when I saw this, and continued: "Aunt Liu, even if you don't want to help my Zheng family, have you ever thought about those villagers? They are all innocent, why should they give my Zheng family a burial? ”

Widow Liu still didn't speak, she just stood there quietly, caressing her stomach while looking at the night sky in a daze, but Li Shihua sneered when she heard my words: "Innocent? Are there still innocent people in this village? ”

"What do you mean?" I turned my head to look at her, and I saw that she was leaning against the doorframe, and the military thorn in her hand was like a part of her body, flipping back and forth in her hand, pulling out one beautiful knife after another.

"This is a small capital, do you think ordinary people can enter here?" Li Shihua put away the military thorn and said, "You say, where did those evil ghosts come from?" ”

"How?" I looked puzzled, I didn't know why Li Shihua suddenly asked me this.

That mass grave has existed for longer than when our village existed, not to mention me, it is estimated that even if it is the ancestor of my Zheng family, I may not be able to say it.

"Here, it was originally an ancient battlefield, and those evil ghosts were almost all soldiers who died here, and their bones were not brought back to their hometown after they died, so their grievances were hard to dissipate, and finally turned into evil ghosts and wandered here."

After hearing Li Shihua's words, I was secretly surprised, these evil ghosts were all formed after the death of ancient soldiers?

So, is that ghost emperor the commander of these soldiers during their lifetime?

I expressed the doubts in my heart, but Li Shihua shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, it may or may not be." The ancient battlefield has always been a place of great resentment, even if it is a powerful person who has achieved Taoist cultivation, he is not willing to go deeper, because if he is not careful, he may be contaminated with cause and effect, resulting in death. And in such a heavy resentment, it is easy to give birth to evil things. ”

"You mean to say that the Ghost Emperor is most likely born out of the resentment of heaven and earth?" I asked in disbelief, Li Shihua nodded, and said, "That's pretty much the case, but if it was born out of the resentment of heaven and earth, then he should have been recognized by heaven and righted a long time ago." But he hasn't been able to be corrected for a long time, so I'm not sure if he was born out of the resentment of heaven and earth, or if he cultivated so far after his death! ”

"But what does this have to do with the villagers?" I asked puzzled, Li Shihua sneered when he heard this, and said: "Because, in their previous lives, these villagers were colleagues of those evil ghosts, and they fought side by side with those evil ghosts to resist foreign invasions. ”

I was shocked when I heard this, in this way, they should be regarded as heroes fighting against foreign enemies, why does Li Shihua still say that they are not innocent people?

"You think they're heroes? Scold! Li Shihua smiled disdainfully and said: "These people, all of them are deserters on the battlefield, and some even stab their comrades in the back, kill their own comrades, not to mention, and occupy other people's family property and wives." And the reason why they were reincarnated here is God's punishment for them. ”

When I heard this, my heart was shocked, and I was stunned in place, my mouth wide open, and I didn't say anything for a long time.

If according to what Li Shihua said, then the previous lives of these villagers were not only not heroes who fought against foreign enemies, but also heinous villains.

"I, can I trust you?" I swallowed and spat and asked. But she had an indifferent attitude, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Believe it or not!" ”

I didn't say anything when I heard this, but lowered my head with a tangled face.

According to Li Shihua, these villagers are all heinous evildoers, but after all, it was the sin they created in their previous life, what if in this life, they have already reformed themselves?

I struggled for a long time, and finally got up and said to Li Shihua: "No matter what, I can't let these villagers die because of my Zheng family." After finishing speaking, I turned my head to look at Widow Liu and said, "Aunt Liu, where is the thing that my Zheng family is guarding?" ”

Widow Liu lowered her head when she heard this, looked at me and asked calmly, "Zheng Yi, do you really want to save these villagers?" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, I want to save not only the villagers, if I hand over the things that the Zheng family has guarded for hundreds of years, then no one will have to die, I even thought, can I use that thing to make a deal with the Ghost Emperor, so that the Ghost Emperor will let go of the corpse of the girl in the wedding dress?

"But what if I told you that that thing is closely related to you, and that if you hand it over, you will die?"

Widow Liu's words were like a thunderbolt, which exploded directly in my mind, and at the same time, my heart was shocked, and the whole person was even more stunned in place.

If I hand over that thing, I'll die?

Widow Liu and Li Shihua both looked at me fixedly, as if waiting for my answer, but I gritted my teeth, clenched my fists, and after a while squeezed out a sentence from my throat: "Then I will exchange my life for the lives of the villagers!" ”

After hearing my words, Widow Liu shook her head, but Li Shihua only sneered and said, "What a sacrifice for righteousness, but those innocent villagers in your eyes don't seem to think so!" ”

After that, she also tapped the gate of my house with her chin, and when I saw this, I turned my head and saw that there were a lot of villagers gathered at the gate of my house.

They all stood in silence at the gate, staring at me with a pair of eyes full of hideousness and evil.

After seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel excited.

Because I suddenly found that compared to the evil ghosts that surrounded our village, the villagers at this moment seemed to be more like evil ghosts!

"What is more terrible than ghosts and gods will always be the human heart!"

A light sigh sounded from the darkness, and after hearing this voice, both me and Widow Liu were shocked, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw my third uncle walking out of the darkness slowly.
