Chapter 35: The Village of the Damned (Revised)

Looking at their ghost-like expressions, Jiang Yuan believed that there must be something behind his body.

He looked and found nothing, dragging his damp clothes around.

Such an action frightened Zhou Daozi and Li Mengran into screams.

"Lao Yuan.... Behind you, on your back! Zhou Daozi couldn't stand his actions like this, and shouted to remind him.

Jiang Yuan remembered the hair on his neck, which was still entangled, so he tore the hair away with his hand, and then pulled it hard.

A drenched skull appeared in front of him, wrapped tightly in a blue garment that he believed contained all the bones of the corpse.

The soul listener talent triggers, and it comes from the pouring out of the well-thrower.

"After forty years, I have finally escaped from the well, and thanks to your kind people, I will no longer suffer from the erosion of the cold well water."

"Forty years? Thank you, sister, I was almost killed by you. Jiang Yuan scolded inwardly.

After forty years of soaking in well water, with Jiang Yuan's movements, the skeleton all scattered.

The three of them screamed in unison and ran into the room.

"Woooooooo Lao Yuan, let's leave now, this village is too terrifying. Li Mengran was scared and cried, the last time he was scared to cry was in Li Qingqing's house.

It is difficult to see a ghost on weekdays, but now it is so simple to see a ghost, Li Mengran's heart is broken.

Zhou Daozi didn't even dare to speak, squatting next to the fire, trembling.

Last time his uncle told him, it's hard to see the hell.

So in Li Qingqing's house, he didn't see anything, and he didn't feel afraid.

But since he had that mark on his neck, he was able to see those ghosts in Jiang Yuan's mouth, which was not a happy thing.

Now what? Is it really out of the village overnight?

Jiang Yuan stabilized his emotions, seeing the panicked appearance of the two of them, it should be impossible to rely on the two of them to solve the problem, he only said: "Mengmeng, don't cry, the current situation is only safe for us, only in this room is safe, now in the early morning, the roads out of the village are all mountain trails, we are prone to accidents when we can't see the road clearly, and now there is a water ghost outside, let's stay up until dawn and go out to go back to Wulipo." ”

The method Jiang Yuan is talking about now is undoubtedly the most ideal way, now that they are in a hurry to get out of the village, the road is full of black lights and blind fires, and it is easy for them to get out of the village at this time, and in this village, it is not easy for them to get out of the village at this time.

Li Mengran cried for a while, as if she remembered something, and ran outside the door and vomited.

Zhou Daozi and Jiang Yuan in the house also thought about it, and when they went to the village today, everyone ate this well water.

During the day, it was said that the instant noodles were really fragrant, and it turned out that there was a water ghost in it, and it had been soaked for forty years.

Jiang Yuan's stomach was tumbling and disgusting.

Zhou Daozi ran outside the door and vomited wildly.

When they returned to the house, their faces were as dead as ashes.

Jiang Yuan didn't want to tease the two of them, so he changed his soaked clothes first, except for letting Li Mengran avoid it, he couldn't take care of it so much, so he couldn't let her go out and wait.

Thinking of the pile of bones by the well, everyone felt a chill.

I definitely couldn't sleep, and the three of them sat around the fire, all silent.

Jiang Yuan changed his clothes and threw all the soaked clothes out of the door, this was Li Mengran's request, she said that she was disgusted when she thought of the well, and when she saw this clothes, she would think of the water ghost, and she had to go out of the village tomorrow.

Fortunately, I didn't tell them about the black cotton clothes, otherwise the two of them would be afraid of what would have happened.

These two strange things happened, which indirectly verified his inference, the female ghost was not suppressed at all, and the ghosts in this village did not rest in peace, in that case, the three of them would be very dangerous on this trip.

I thought it was just to deal with a resentful female ghost, but I didn't expect to face a ghost from a village.

He didn't dare to continue thinking about it, because it made him feel creepy.

Now we are on our own, and we are still five hours before dawn.

Wrong! The information he received on his mobile phone was that there were three important clues on this trip to the ghost village, and he ignored Lin Guo's diary.

Two candles were lit in the room, swaying in the wind.

Jiang Yuan went to his backpack and took out the diary.

When he first saw the diary, he saw a hideous black grimace on the cover.

Now he took out this diary and found something different, this diary constantly emitted a black mist, and there was a faint ghostly light.

This light is not a reflection of candlelight, but comes out naturally, as if it were the material of the book.

Could it be that the important thing in this diary is not what is recorded in it, but something else?

In the darkness of the night, only the light on the cover of this diary stands out.

This light is like the light of a firefly, flashing and flashing, through the thick cover.

Jiang Yuan found a knife to cut open the cover, and inside was a folded silk book.

Silk book, that is, a kind of ancient book written by the ancients on silk cloth to record the events of the time.

Looks like this thing is pretty old.

There were a lot of words on it, but they were so strange that he couldn't read them.

"Mengmeng, come over here and help me see this thing, can you understand it?" Jiang Yuan shouted Li Mengran.

Li Mengran studied archaeology in school, and has a better understanding of ancient documents and various cultural relics.

"Where did you get the silk books?" Li Mengran saw this thin silk book, his eyes shone brightly, a bit like the look of a pervert seeing a beautiful woman and a hungry ghost seeing food.

Jiang Yuan could only say this matter once.

For professional knowledge, Li Mengran is an extremely serious person.

She carefully held the silk book, and her expression changed, sometimes frowning, sometimes joyful, sometimes frightened.

Zhou Daozi heard the two of them talking, and came over curiously, and saw Li Mengran studying there alone, leaving him and Jiang Yuan staring at each other.

"What's in there?" Jiang Yuan couldn't help it and asked in a low voice.

Such a small voice still startled Li Mengran.

She looked at the silk book in her hand, and then looked out the window, looking tired.

"Old Yuan, Old Zhou, do you know why we are here?" Li Mengran said softly.

"It wasn't that we met the female ghost in red and made her leave a ghost mark, so we came here in order to crack the mark." Jiang Yuan replied, this is the reason why they came, without that mark, they are still in Jiangzhou, not in this right place.

"Mengmeng, don't sell it, did you find anything?" Zhou Daozi asked anxiously.

Li Mengran squatted beside the fire and said: "The text of this silk book is ancient, it is the minority language of the Tang and Song dynasties, my university teacher is Professor Cai, she is an expert in the study of ancient cultural relics in my country, she has a lot of literature on the study of cultural relics, you should have heard of it, it just so happened that my graduation thesis is the study of the text of the ethnic minorities in the Tang and Song dynasties, and she gave me a lot of literary materials for her research." I read the text of this silk book, which is the text of a very mysterious tribe in the history of our country, which records the origin of the cursed village. ”

"Cursed Village?" Jiang Yuan and Zhou Daozi said in unison.

Li Mengran nodded and said, "Well, it's the Cursed Village, but when it comes to the Cursed Village, I want to tell you about the mysterious tribe first, the Chi Miao Clan." ”

Jiang Yuan had heard of the word Chi Miao, which he understood when he investigated Da Yu Village, saying that Da Yu Village was the descendants of the Chi Miao group, so they had many strange traditions, such as ghost marriage.

He didn't interrupt Li Mengran, because professional scholars and their research are more convincing and stand up to scrutiny than the messy information on the Internet.

Li Mengran told the two of them about the mysterious Chi Miao clan next to the fire pond.

In the legends of our country, it is recorded that in ancient times, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang were two ancestors of mankind, leading people to civilization, and when it comes to ancient times, in addition to Yan and Huang, there is also a race that is the "Jiuli tribe", their leader is Chiyou, and there was a big war between Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor, and finally the Yellow Emperor won.

The Chi Miao people are a branch of the Jiuli people.

The Chi Miao did not believe in gods and Buddhas, but only believed in their ancestors, and were slaughtered by the Tang army in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, and they instead settled in the very remote Xingangyu Island area.

The Chi and Miao people hate the Han people very much, so the layout of the village is built against the wind and water, so that all the houses sit in the east and face west, the dead do not leave the village, and people live together.

As a minority, they retain many strange customs, among which they have a terrifying ability, which is curses.

This is also the origin of the Cursed Village.

A curse is an evil spell that uses psychic power, mental power, divine power, and the power of the natural elements, and the use of the curse requires the following to be the cursed person's hair, name, birthday, and one of his usual items.

The exact method of the curse implementation is used: First. The first will burn the hair of the cursed man, and the second will be. Put the ashes into one of the items commonly used by the cursed, such as cloth, handkerchiefs, clothes, socks, etc., and wrap them directly. If it is another item, it will be sprinkled directly with the third. Put the smeared object in the palm of your hand, wrap it in white paper, write the name of the cursed person on the white paper, and wrap the fourth after the birthday. Recite the name and mantra of the cursed in your heart.

The curse is somewhat similar to the most well-known technique of disgust in court novels.

The art of disgust refers to a type of witchcraft in ancient times. "Disgusted" means "disgusted and victorious", and it refers to the use of spells to curse or pray for the purpose of defeating the person, object, or monster that is hated.

One of the famous stories is: the rich merchant of Wu asked the carpenter to build a ship, because "the supply is a little thin", so he suspected that the carpenter would have other intentions, so when the carpenter was about to call it a day, he lurked in the stern of the ship at night to eavesdrop on the movement, and happened to see the carpenter beating the wooden keel with an axe and chanting a spell.

The rich man was suspicious, so he broke the boat and took out the wooden dragon, threw it into the boiling oil and fried it, the carpenter fell ill in the house next door, and knew that the matter was exposed, and came to ask for mercy, but the rich man continued to fry the puppet regardless of his request, and the carpenter fell to the ground and died.

It is said that when something disgusting is discovered, only by throwing it into fire or frying it in boiling oil can its witchcraft be broken, and peace can be restored to the master's house, and the perpetrator will be punished accordingly. To some extent, this also reflects that although "carpentry weariness" uses supernatural power, this supernatural power is not invincible, and can still be cracked in the end.

It is precisely because of this that the Cursed Village has become a unique existence in the local area, and villages near and far dare not offend the Cursed Village.

And those who don't believe in evil will either have bad luck or die bizarrely after provoking the Cursed Village, which is very strange.

This kind of thing has been until the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the people in the village have such an ability, they do not abuse it, this is the same as Miao Jiang's Gu, there is no deep hatred or blood hatred, they will not use curses to deal with the enemy, because your curse needs to pay a price, and those who have used the curse technique are either blind, or have broken hands and feet and become disabled.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a person came to this village, and because he offended the patriarch, he was cursed to die.

This man had a great master named Wang Tianshi, and he came to the village angrily to ask for explanations, and the people in the village were used to it, so they didn't care about him at all, and let the clansmen beat him.

This is worth it, this Wang Tianshi is very good at Taoism, and when he left the village, he used Taoism to seal the village and seal the bloodline of the patriarch's family, and since then there is no longer the power of curse in the village, and the village has relied on fishing for a living, and it has been renamed Dayu Village.

After listening to Li Mengran's explanation, Jiang Yuan was a little confused, even if this small page of silk tells the origin of the big fishing village, what does it have to do with them?

"Mengmeng, this big fishing village doesn't have much to do with us, can it be said that there is something about the imprint in my door?" Jiang Yuan's judgment has always been that it was a female ghost in red who wanted their lives, and wanted the three of them to come to Dayu Village to investigate the truth of the matter.

Li Mengran said with a bitter face: "There is a unique curse recorded in the silk book, that is, to curse a certain thing with the blood of the whole village, then the cursed person will accept the curse, and after receiving this curse, the cursed person will grow an evil spirit flower on his neck, and various terrible hallucinations will appear, and when the evil spirit flower grows to the temple, he will die." ”

"Are you saying that the mark on our body is the curse of the big fishing village, not the Yellow Spring Soul Locking Curse that the fourth uncle said?" Zhou Daozi couldn't believe it.

"I'm not sure yet, but in addition to the history I mentioned, the silk book details how the curse was cast. This method combined with the stories that Lao Yuan said, most of them are true. Li Mengran also hopes that none of this is true.

Jiang Yuan believed in her professional knowledge, but these words that he couldn't understand were really not explained wrongly? Because if she had misinterpreted, she would have misled herself and changed the way to solve the mark.
