The trail is not long or steep, and under normal circumstances, we can reach the village in three to five minutes.

But now we are walking at a speed similar to that of a snail, walking forward step by step, for fear of startling the snake.

In the words of the movie, this is called quietly entering the village, and those who shoot do not want to shoot.

Chen Qiuyan was probably also frightened, but she didn't mean to back down, her hands tightly grasped my arms, and she completely used me as a shield in front.

"It feels kind of familiar to me."

Suddenly, Kong Baiyang came out with such a sentence, and his tone was uncertain, as if he was not sure whether what he said was reliable.

"Where's that familiar?" Shippo asked, following him.

"Four years ago, I went to Shandong once with my master, and I also went to sea," Kong Baiyang said, speaking a little slowly, probably while reminiscing, he was telling us: "That time was the boat that my master found someone to drive, and it was also a motorized boat, and there was also a small island dozens of miles out of the Bohai Sea. ”

According to Kong Baiyang, the work they received at that time was related to a fish, which was also a type of injustice, called the mackerel.

Chasing from the beach to the sea, the fish was running for its life from beginning to end, and it didn't even mean to fight back, and ran towards the island vigorously.

"There is a big waterhole on the island, which is supposed to be connected to the bottom of the sea, and the fish swims directly into it from the outside, and hides in that pool, and does not show its head at all." Kong Baiyang said: "When we found the waterhole, it was evening, and before the sun set, the island began to fog. ”

"Fog?" I was stunned for a moment, and asked with some curiosity: "It's similar to the fog we encountered?" ”

Kong Baiyang snorted and pointed to the mask he was wearing on his face: "It's just as poisonous, and the visibility is also very low, but that one is more irritating, especially spicy eyes." ”

"I seem to have heard the mentor mention this island you are talking about," Chen Qiuyan said coldly, her tone was a little curious: "Are there dozens of rotting human corpses piled up on it?" ”

"Not so much." Kong Baiyang smiled: "There are only eighteen, this is what I personally counted." ”

"Those people were killed by iniquity?" Qibao asked curiously.

"I don't know, we haven't figured it out." Kong Baiyang sighed: "The corpses are piled up next to the pool, like a pyramid, stacked very neatly, and the faces of each corpse are carved out of nine holes by external forces, the size of the holes is about the same as the eye sockets, and there is something similar to an eyeball in it, but my master said that it looks like a fish egg!" ”

"Fish eggs?" I muttered, and couldn't help but glance back.

I was looking in the direction where I had encountered the monster before, but due to the thick fog and the distance we had walked through, I couldn't see it at all.

"Eyes, fish eggs, could there be any connection between the two?" Situ muttered, probably guessing what I was thinking: "You also saw that monster just now, there are eyes all over the body, and this is also an island, and there is also fog."

"Holy shit, you guys can think of it." Qibao laughed: "It's not close to Shandong, what can be the connection?" ”

"Iniquity is not confined to one place, let alone the kind of injustice with vitality." Kong Baiyang said helplessly: "We got rid of that fish, but we haven't found the murderer of those innocent people until now." ”

"I know this, I was stabbed a few years ago, and now that island is still blocked." Situ smiled bitterly twice, and when he talked about this, it seemed that he was quite helpless: "The fish can't go ashore, even if it becomes a sperm, it can't leave the water, at least that little fish cub can't go ashore." ”

"Yes." Kong Baiyang nodded: "So we haven't found the murderer until now." ”

"What about the souls of those corpses?" Qibao asked tentatively, "Summoning the souls back and asking them, won't you?" ”

"I've thought about this, and we've tried, but the souls of those corpses are gone, so they should be gone." Kong Baiyang shrugged.

"Could it be that you are going to be reincarnated?" Chen Qiuyan asked cautiously.

"Impossible." Kong Baiyang said with a smile: "Whether it is a human or other creatures, it is impossible to reincarnate immediately after death, they all have to wait in line, the death time of those corpses is in the near future, and they will not be able to catch up with reincarnation in a few months, unless they have relatives in the underworld who can go to the relationship."

Hearing this, I was silent for a while, and asked Kong Baiyang in a low voice, are there any other changes in those corpses?

For example, scamming corpses.

"Nope." Kong Baiyang shook his head and said with certainty: "At that time, those corpses were heavily decomposed, and the qi in their bodies had long been dissipated, and the fish eggs hidden in the holes were also deflated, and there was no chance to cheat the corpses." ”

"Could that be the case" I took out a cigarette and lit it, took two puffs, felt my head sober a little, and analyzed with them in an orderly manner: "Suppose those fish eggs are not fish eggs, they are things left by another kind of injustice, or things left by people in the industry, and those eyeballs are stuffed into people's bodies, either for cultivation, just like raising Gu, the purpose is not in the human body, in the fish eggs, or they want to refine people into injustice."

"Like the one we just met?" Situ asked me.

I nodded, saying that it was it.

"The latter is more likely." Kong Baiyang said, and seemed to agree with my opinion, and analyzed it along the way: "Those corpses failed to deceive the corpses, and the qi in their bodies was exhausted, probably because they failed, and after they succeeded, maybe they will become the injustice we met." ”

"The fog, the eyes, the sea." Situ said, suddenly shivered, and a layer of goosebumps suddenly appeared on his arm: "If these can really be linked, it will be terrible." ”

At this time, Qibao suddenly took a big breath, and his movements were obvious, and he sucked out a loud sound.

"Did you hear that?" Shippo asked, inhaling as he asked.

"What do you smell?" Situ said, and also learned Qibao sniffed, and his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered something: "It seems to have a fishy smell!" ”

"Squeak! Chirping!! Chirping!! ”

Without warning, the rat began to scream, as if frightened, and as he hissed, he tugged at my clothes with his little paws.

"What's wrong?" I whispered to it, "What did you find?" ”

The rat didn't look at me, but looked straight ahead, and pulled me hard a few times, and the screaming in his mouth became more and more terrible.

It was definitely stimulated by something, and its tone was very anxious, but it didn't dare to let go of its throat, and its voice was suppressed all the time, as if it was afraid of being discovered by some enemy.

I stopped, and was about to comfort it with a few words, when Chen Qiuyan pulled me violently.

"Here we are."

As soon as we heard Chen Qiuyan's words, we all looked away, and instead of paying attention to the rats, we looked ahead.

At a distance of three or four meters from us, we could see vaguely that there was a stone monument standing there.

If you look closer, there are three big characters written on the stele.

Longwang Village.

"Arrived so soon??" Qibao held the assault rifle and cautiously glanced around, his forehead was full of cold sweat, it was estimated that he was also weak in his heart, but he was embarrassed to show it.

Situ and Kong Baiyang also made a gesture to meet the enemy, raised their weapons one after another, and paid great attention to the wind and grass around them with great vigilance.

Instead of paying attention to my surroundings, I crouched down and looked at the colorful "pieces" that were everywhere in front of the stele.

These fragments are supposed to be fragments of ceramic statues, or fragments of statues of gods.

I don't dare to say anything else, as far as I can find out the gods recognized by the "head", there are the three Qings of Taoism, Zhao Gongming, the god of martial arts, and Yang Jian, the god of Erlang, as well as the Guanyin Bodhisattva of Buddhism, Sakyamuni and so on

Chen Qiuyan squatted beside me and accompanied me to study the fragments.

I saw that she suddenly picked up the head of a god statue and looked at it, her expression was a little surprised.

"Isn't this the idol of Mazu?"

"Mazu??" Kong Baiyang walked over in a few steps, looked at it carefully, and his tone was a little surprised: "Dare to smash the Mazu statue at sea, are these people not afraid of retribution?" ”

"Who?" Qibao asked, still scanning the surroundings, not looking at us: "Mazu is also a Taoist god?" It doesn't sound like a Buddhist. ”

"It is considered Taoist, but there are very few people who believe in Mazu in the mainland, and only people in coastal areas will believe in Mazu, the god of the sea."

As I spoke, I put down the fragment of the idol in my hand and slowly stood up.

"The Taoists and the Buddhists have all let these animals be smashed, this is really not afraid of retribution." Kong Baiyang said with a frown.

"Retribution?"

I shook my head and said.

"Most people nowadays don't believe in retribution, let alone them, and I don't believe either."
