Chinese As soon as I heard that the village chief was going to tell me the secret, I immediately pricked up my ears and asked him to speak.

The village chief's expression instantly became solemn, and after looking around for a while, he pulled me to a corner of the wall, lowered his voice and said, "Those starving ghosts we raised, in fact, they don't need to be caught by your heavenly masters, they will disappear by themselves." ”

Hearing this, I was slightly stunned, and I didn't quite understand what the village chief meant.

The village chief hurriedly explained: "Over the years, the four of us have been killed by those hungry ghosts, and there are thousands of people in total, but some hungry ghosts, like bees, will disappear with them after killing people!" ”

This time I understood, and hurriedly said, "You mean, after those starving ghosts hurt people, they themselves disappeared?" ”

The village chief nodded vigorously: "That's right, not many people in the village know about this, I suspect it, those hungry ghosts were actually deliberately put to us by your Heavenly Master to harm people." ”

I couldn't help but glance up at the village chief, who basically told the truth by conjecture.

I think so too, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to explain why the Hungry Ghost had chosen these four villages.

When I was about to take away those two ghosts, the mysterious master rescued them, and this is the proof.

Could it be that, in fact, it is not the starving ghost who has an enmity with the village, but the secret master?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the case, and immediately asked the village chief if they had offended anyone before.

The village chief hesitated and said: "To tell you the truth, there are a lot of bastards in our four villages, and they must have offended people, but there are still good people in our village, so we can't settle the account on everyone's heads, no matter whether the good people are bad or bad, if they break the taboo of going out and coming back, they will die." ”

There is nothing wrong with saying this, there is a debtor and a debtor, even if the master really has a grudge against the village, he should not target everyone.

In addition, I heard the woman say that those who left the village were also watched by the ghosts, which means that even if they left the village, they all knew that they would be killed by the ghosts when they returned to the village.

However, those who left the village eventually chose to return to the village, as if they had been sent to the door and killed by a starving ghost.

The more I knew, the more I doubted.

While I was thinking about this, the village chief continued: "I remember that a celestial master who came to our village before said that all this is the retribution that our village deserves, but until now, I don't understand why our village should suffer this kind of retribution. ”

With that, the village chief sighed heavily.

I comforted the village chief, the information he provided was of great value, and although I didn't know what was going on for a while, it wouldn't be long before I would understand it thoroughly, and when the time came, I would definitely be able to deal with the group of starving ghosts.

The village chief smiled and said, "You are the first Heavenly Master with this heart, whether you can do it or not, I want to thank you on behalf of the people in the village." ”

I waved my hand, "Let's not talk about this for now, what about the aftermath of Zhang Laohan's father and son?" ”

The village chief said: "What else can I do, Zhang Laohan's family is just their father and son, and the village can only help with the aftermath, and when I ask the mage in Lingyun Temple to be a mage tomorrow, I will bury the person." ”

I hurriedly asked, "Every time someone dies in the village, do you have to invite the monks of Lingyun Temple to do things?" ”

The village chief hummed and said, "Yes, if you don't overtake them, I'm afraid that we won't even be able to cast a fetus, so we invite that fat elder to do things every time." ”

I was stunned, is it the fat monk who came with us?

The village chief nodded: "Yes, it's him." ”

My heart moved, I didn't mention him, and when I mentioned it, I suddenly remembered that when the fat monk was doing things, he didn't recite the death spell at first, but the soul mantra.

He first used a spiritualist charm to summon ghosts, and then he overdid it.

This makes me think, could it be that the fat monk is not doing things for the people of Zhangjia Village at all, but the ghost he has recruited?

Thinking of what the village chief just said, I suddenly thought of a possibility: the ultimate goal of those starving ghosts and harming people is actually not to take revenge, but to find a substitute?

Ghosts looking for a stand-in, I remember Ozawa specifically told me that some ghosts died unexpectedly before they died, and if they want to be reincarnated, they must have a stand-in, and the most of them are drowned water ghosts.

Hungry ghosts, which can be regarded as deaths, happen to belong to ghosts that need to have a stand-in.

From this point of view, the fat monk's actions are really the magic deeds he has recruited.

Thinking of this, I immediately asked the village chief to continue to invite the fat monk to come, this time, I want to meet him well.

The village chief snorted and said that he would call Lingyun Temple later.

Then, we went to Zhang Laohan's house, and after the village chief took a look at the corpse, he called out to several people in the village and covered the corpse with a white cloth.

As for the woman, the village chief asked her to stay in Zhangjia Village for the time being, as long as she didn't go back to their Jiangjia Village first, she would be fine.

I was slightly stunned and asked the village chief, those people outside won't be killed by ghosts if they don't return to their villages?

The village said, "Yes." ”

This is a new situation again.

Immediately, I searched around Zhang Laohan's house, because I didn't see the offering table in his house, let alone the rag they worshipped.

However, after I searched around, I found a wooden box containing rags in the cabinet of Zhang Laohan's house.

I took out the rag and asked the village chief again why Zhang Laohan also had a rag in his house.

When the village chief saw that I had found the rag, he sighed heavily, and said, "I was about to talk about this, in fact, I was also very curious, what this rag is, in fact, I didn't tell you the truth before, not only those dead people have this thing, but the people of our four villages have a piece in every family." ”

My heart moved, and I hurriedly asked, "What is this rag?" ”

The village chief shook his head and said: "I don't know, the rags are left by the older generation, I have asked the old man more than once, but the old man loses his temper every time and does not tell me what the rags represent." ”

I was surprised: "You mean, the old man in the village actually knows the origin of the rags?" ”

The village chief nodded and said, "Well, the old people are like they have discussed, and no one will say anything about the rags, but some people will worship the rags as if they were ancestors, and some people just keep them at home." ”

I immediately said, "Can you find an old man, I'll ask him personally." ”

The village chief waved his hand: "It's useless, the previous Heavenly Master also asked, but the old man refused to say it when he died." ”

I said, "The old man won't say it's okay, I'll ask on the side." ”

The village chief thought for a while and said, "Okay, then wait for dawn, you come to my house and ask the old man in person." ”

After that, the village chief took us out of Zhang's house and rearranged a place for us to live.

After the village chief and the others had dispersed, I took out the rag and asked Ozawa, "Don't you know everything in the world, hurry up and take a good look at what this rag comes from." ”

Ozawa said with some embarrassment: "This is a rag, and it's not a Taoist weapon, I can't see it." ”

There is no way, it seems that we still have to wait for dawn to ask the old people in the village.

Soon, the sky was bright, and not long after dawn, the fat monk came.

It is estimated that the fat monk is also used to it, and after he came, he asked the village chief to prepare the process of doing things, and then sat directly at Zhang Laohan's house and waited for dark.

I asked Ozawa to keep an eye on him, and once I found anything unusual about the fat monk, I would subdue him first.

I went directly to the village chief's house and found the village chief's old man.

The old man is over seventy years old, his eyes are not dazzled, his ears are not deaf, and his body is still very strong.

At this moment, just after breakfast, the old man was sitting on a rocking chair in the courtyard with his eyes closed, as if he wanted to sleep again.

I didn't ask him directly about the rags, but first went up to greet him and asked the old man what his hobbies were.

The old man's eyes opened a slit and said softly: "Farmer family, what hobbies can you have." ”

I smiled and said, farmers can also have hobbies, playing chess, drinking tea or something.

The old man waved his hand: "Okay, don't be close, just say something." ”

I smiled bitterly, it seems that I still don't know how to do tricks, I just pouted my ass, and the old man can see what I'm going to do.

So I didn't hide it anymore, but took out the rag and asked, "Old man, can you tell me about this rag?" ”

The old man suddenly snatched the rag from my hand and said angrily: "Young man, don't talk nonsense if you don't know, is this a rag?" This thing has a special meaning for us. ”

I also knew that it had a special meaning, so I continued to ask: "Can you please tell the old man specifically, what is the meaning of this baby?" ”

The old man stared at the rags in a daze, as if he were thinking back to the past.

I was overjoyed, and it seemed that the old man was going to tell me.

Who knows, after the old man was stunned for a while, he suddenly said sharply: "We have all sworn that we will not tell that matter, and we will not say it to death." ”

I frowned and said, "The village has raised starving ghosts for so many years, and so many people have died, you must know this, if you don't talk about it again, those starving ghosts will kill you all sooner or later." ”

The old man was silent, and after a while, he spoke again: "I know that even if the people of our four villages die, we can't tell about it. ”

Seeing that he refused to let go, I was immediately embarrassed, but looking at the old man's expression, he must be entangled in his heart.

I didn't force me to ask, I looked at the old man carefully, and at this look, I suddenly found that there were several scars on the old man's body, and there was a thick layer of calluses on his hands and soles.

It is not strange that a rural person has calluses on his hands and feet, but the strange thing is that the position of his cocoons is a little strange, not like they were ground out when he was doing farm work or fishing.

I instantly thought of a possibility, and immediately said, "The old man was a soldier when he was young." ”

The old man's pupils shrank suddenly: "How do you know!" ”

I wondered why the old man had such a big reaction.

But as soon as I deduced, I found that when the old man was a soldier, it was no longer the time of war, but it was not the time of natural disasters in those three years, it should be a few years later.

I quickly recalled in my mind the events of the three-year catastrophe, and then looked at the rag carefully.

suddenly thought of a special type of troops, and immediately blurted out to the old man: "This cloth is a red armband, right!" ”

The old man's face changed greatly, and he sat up from the chair all of a sudden: "You can see it! ”

His reaction made me immediately confirm my guess, and also made me understand the meaning of the rag to them. Cat flutter Chinese
