Volume 2 Cliff Valley Secret Burial_Chapter 109 Ghost Sacrifice
At this time, as the earth Jiao ran out of the donkey's body, the donkey also stood up tremblingly, but its four legs still trembled. The body was like water, wet and collapsed.
The third uncle looked at the donkey and said lightly: "We seem to have ruined other people's affairs." ”
I didn't know why, so I asked, "Third uncle, whose business is it that is going to be ruined?" How could there be a donkey at the entrance of this village? ”
"Stupid. Someone obviously put the donkey here on purpose. Liang Yue pretended to analyze.
"I didn't ask you." I gave Liang Yue a blank look.
Unexpectedly, the third uncle nodded affirmatively and said, "Liang Yatou is right, this should indeed be deliberately placed at the entrance of the village." If you don't get it right, it's used to make ghost sacrifices. ”
"Ghost sacrifice? What is it? ”
"It's a sacrifice for ghosts. In ancient China, sacrifice was sacrificial livestock, the color was pure "sacrifice", and the body was all "livestock". But generally speaking, to worship the gods and Buddhas, cattle, sheep, and pigs are used, so they are also called "three animals". Sacrifice to ghosts, but donkeys are the majority. Because compared to those three kinds of livestock, the donkey is more alive and vigorous, and the blood of the donkey is colder. Ghosts prefer. And donkeys can usually see ghosts, and when ghosts come, donkeys will be very irritable, and ghosts also like donkeys in this state the most. You didn't see it just stumbling in all directions, it was kicking the ghost. When it fell to the ground, the demon was already on its back. It frantically rubs its back against the ground in an attempt to shake the ghost off of it, a situation called a donkey's back. So if we in the industry see a donkey beating its back, we know that we have encountered something unclean. ”
The third uncle's explanation made several of us feel cold in our hearts. It seems that there is not only the matter of the earth Jiao, but also the matter of ghosts, so it seems that the person who put this donkey here to sacrifice as a ghost is the person from Nanliu Village.
At first, I thought that this Nanliu Village was a normal village, but now it may not be so.
The third uncle looked into the village and listened, it was very quiet, and there was no sound.
Ma Tan also said: "This is not right, there is no movement in the village at all." Supposedly, there must be dogs in the village, so there should be a few dog barks. ”
The third uncle rarely raised the bar with Ma Jian this time, but nodded: "It's indeed a bit abnormal." Walk, go into the village and have a look. ”
After this episode, several of us had no bottom in our hearts. We got together, flashlights, and walked in step by step along the entrance of the village.
It was only a dozen steps away from the entrance to the village, and as soon as we entered the village, we suddenly felt that our heads were dark, and the light seemed to be much darker in an instant.
I looked up at the sky, and the moon hung high in the moonlight.
But the same moon, just a few meters apart from the outside and inside of the village, had a very different light. Is there really something wrong with this village?
Walking on the village road, I couldn't hear anything in my ears except the footsteps of a few of us. This kind of stillness is simply terrible, the kind of stillness that has no life, dead stillness. It's so quiet that it makes your scalp tingle.
I don't know if you have this feeling, that kind of dead silence will make us can't help but get nervous, whether it is physical or nervous, unconsciously
And he tensed. I was scared that this tense nerve could burst at any moment.
Fortunately, there were four of us, otherwise I would have fled.
The third uncle shone a flashlight around, and walked towards the nearest house.
He approached the window of the house, looked inside, shook his head at us, and came back to say that there was no one in the house.
We looked at several more households in a row, and several of them were in the same situation.
Liang Yue asked, "Did all the people in this village move away?" No one lives? ”
The third uncle stood under the eaves of the door, gently pushed the door, the door was hidden, and the third uncle pushed it open with a squeak.
The room was deserted, and the third uncle casually touched a window sill, shone it with a flashlight and said: "There is basically not much dust here, and some necessary daily necessities and furniture in this house are also available, and they are placed in a neat and orderly manner, not like they are abandoned." It seems that the people in this room will not be away for long. ”
Liang Yue shook his head: "That's strange, where have all the people in this village gone?" ”
We walked out of the house and came again to the widest road in the village.
We walked a short distance along the village road, and found that there was a small clearing next to it, there were a few big trees that shaded the sky and the sun, and there were stone benches under the trees, which should be the place where the villagers usually gathered in idleness, and there was a stone well next to the tree, which was still a relatively old wheel.
We decided to wait here for a while and see if anyone from the village came out. In addition, if there is an accident, it can be detected early.
But when we walked over, we found that we didn't know when it started, and the village was filled with fog.
My heart was cold, and several experiences proved that fog appeared out of thin air, which is definitely not a good thing. According to the third uncle, the appearance of fog is either a normal natural phenomenon, or it is very likely to be caused by the gathering of yin ghosts around and the sudden increase of yin qi.
Combined with tonight's experience, it's clear that the latter is more likely.
Sure enough, the fog suddenly rose, and the third uncle reminded loudly: "Everyone be careful, don't get separated, one by one." ”
As soon as the third uncle's words fell, the iron pillar that had been following us listlessly suddenly screamed, and his body rushed out like an arrow, and disappeared into the mist in the blink of an eye. At first, its cries could be heard, but soon faded away.
"Iron Pillar ......" I called twice, but I didn't get any response, and I couldn't help but scold: "This stupid dog, what's crazy?" ”
Ma Yan, who was walking in front, responded: "What am I talking about, the iron pillar is a Xuanyuan dog, the eyes are the most divine, it is not crazy, it must have found something, and chased down." ”
"Don't talk, there's something wrong with this village, get out of here."
The third uncle reminded loudly, turned around and walked in the direction of the entrance of the village.
The fog around is getting thicker and thicker, and the fog is very wet, as if you can wring out water if you grab it. The third uncle's serious tone made us all nervous.
Due to the fog, none of us can make a correct judgment about the direction, but fortunately, Ma Jian has a compass with him
, he held it in his hand and let everyone follow him. We stepped up and followed him in the direction of the entrance to the village.
Ma Jian and the third uncle walked in front, followed by Liang Yue, and I dragged in last.
It's not that I'm slow, it's because I'm more worried about the iron pillar, which rushed into the fog and never heard from me again.
When I turned around, my eyes were full of gray mist, not to mention the dogs, and the road under my feet was almost impossible to see.
By the time I turned around again, the third uncle and the others could no longer see the shadow.
I hurriedly chased after them in the direction I remembered, but fortunately, I didn't run a few steps before I saw Liang Yue's figure, flickering in front.
I breathed a sigh of relief and followed Liang Yue to the front.
I ran with Liang Yue for a while, but I suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
