Chapter 119: Village Chief Chen's Statement
Soon after, the three of them stopped in front of a courtyard with a few thatched huts, poorly built but spacious, with cows and horses fed in the shed next to them, and the smell of cow dung could be smelled from a distance.
To Wan Gu's surprise, there was still a mourning union hanging in front of their courtyard, as if someone had just died.
Seeing this, Village Chief Chen was a little embarrassed, and arched his hand and said: "The village is located in the wilderness, and the conditions of the humble house are not good, and the family ...... happened to have his son dead, and the hospitality was not good, so I asked the two Taoist elders to take care of them and don't care. ”
Wan Gu glanced at the courtyard and asked calmly, "The old man should have something to ask us for help, right?" ”
Village Chief Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, pointed to the gate and said: "The Taoist chief is really extraordinary, if the Taoist chief is willing, go in and talk about it, go in and talk about it." ”
As he spoke, he also raised his hand to respectfully ask, for fear that Wan Gu and Bai Dao would refuse.
Wan Gu naturally had no reason to refuse, so he stepped in, and the Bai Dao people followed closely behind.
Inside the courtyard was a corpse covered with a white cloth, and the corpse emitted a faint smell of corpses.
Village Chief Chen was a little cautious, after all, the home of the person who had just died was really not suitable for hospitality, looking at the calm eyes of Wan Gu and Bai Daoren, he didn't seem to care much, so he put his mind at ease.
After a short time, several people were already sitting at a wooden table, which was a table of eight immortals, without any traditional hospitality cultural etiquette, but they made a cup of coarse tea for the two of them decently, which was the limit of what this deserted village could do.
Village Chief Chen drank a cup of coarse tea, struggled for a long time, and the first thing he said was: "Dao Chief, I'm afraid that our village is haunted." ”
When Wan Gu heard this, his expression suddenly showed interest, and he said, "Tell me." ”
Bai Daoren also said casually: "What the hell is going on? ”
Village Chief Chen looked at the calm expressions of the two of them, and only then could he be relieved, but he was really afraid that he would turn around and leave.
Seeing this, he sighed helplessly and said: "Since the Taoist chief can guess that the little old man wants to ask the Taoist chief for help, then naturally he also sees what clues, the specific little old man is not clear, but there are evil things in this village are ......"
Before he could speak, he was interrupted by a wave of his hand, and said solemnly: "Let's talk about it directly, what the hell is going on." ”
When Village Chief Chen heard this, he immediately nodded yes and said: "There is a small hill in the west of our village, and legend has it that under that hill is the tomb of a certain dignitary of the previous dynasty.
The people in the village were also poor and afraid, they all thought that there was some gold and silver treasure in it, and they would have money when they got it, and they did not listen to the dissuasion of the older generation, so they all went to dig it, and tossed it for a long time, but the tomb was dug up, but there was no gold and silver treasure in it, and there was no burial room mentioned in the book, but there was a sarcophagus, and the villagers were disappointed, but they also dispersed and no longer tossed.
But I never expected that a group of rabbit cubs didn't know what was crazy, so they pried open the sarcophagus in frenzy. ”
When Wan Gu heard this, he interjected: "There is still no gold and silver treasure in it, right?" ”
Village Chief Chen immediately looked at him in surprise and praised in disbelief: "Dao Chief is really clever!" The little old man admires it very much."
When Wan Gu heard this, he glanced at him with a painful face, this is also a clever calculation, and he can see it at a glance, if there is really gold and silver treasure, you will still be so down?
Even Bai Daoren was helpless.
Village Chief Chen didn't think much about it, sighed, and then said: "There is indeed no treasure in the coffin, I heard that there is only a corpse in an official uniform, the body is not decomposed, and it seems that there is still breath, and the group of rabbit cubs was frightened on the spot, and ran back, and then everyone went to check and found that there was nothing at all, or only an empty sarcophagus, some people said that the corpse was changed, and some people said that it was a lie made up by the group of little rabbit cubs, anyway, everyone is not clear"
When Wan Gu heard this, he became a little interested and asked, "Later, you became like this here?" ”
Village Chief Chen nodded, and said with palpitations: "The strange incident happened one night in the second month, and the whole village could hear the terrible screams coming from the side of the hill, and it lasted for a whole night, and no one dared to go out for half a step.
The next morning, little Lao'er, I organized the villagers to go over to check on the end, and guess what? ”
Village Chief Chen paused, and seeing that no one answered, he said again: "Then the mountain is full of signs of animal activity, and there is blood spilled everywhere, which is a miserable one." ”
Speaking of this, Village Chief Chen almost cried, after all, the wild animals in the mountains are also one of their food, so they are gone, can they not be sad?
"No, didn't you say haunted? What's going on here? Wangu asked, a little puzzled, frowning.
"yes!" Naturally, the Baidao people also felt strange.
Village Chief Chen explained: "Actually, this is just the beginning, since then this kind of thing has happened every once in a while, and the villagers are all worried, but nothing else strange has happened." ”
"Just when everyone thought that the village was fine, even the little old man thought so. But I don't know when it began, it's like we've lost the sun here, it's always gloomy, and the sun has never come out.
Fortunately, there is nothing else except the screaming every period of time, the people in the village have lived here for generations, and leaving this village is equivalent to losing the house and land, so they continue to live, but not long ago, many villagers actually said that they saw the souls of their relatives who died not long ago. ”
When Bai Daoren heard this, he casually interjected: "It should be that the yin qi here is too heavy, so that the new ghosts can stay in the yang world for a long time." As for the screams in the back mountains, it is a little suspicious. ”
Although Wangu didn't know much about this, he nodded in praise as well.
Speaking of this, Village Chief Chen frowned even more, and he said with some sadness: "Dao Chief doesn't know, those ghosts seem to be under control, they don't know our relatives at all, and they will come out to harm people every once in a while, no, it will be my son's turn the night before yesterday." ”
"Oh? So were these dead people treated unfairly in their lives, and they didn't turn a blind eye? Bai Daoren asked suspiciously.
"Nope! No! Those are some old people who died normally, and it stands to reason that there will be no resentment. Village Chief Chen was afraid of being misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained.
Looking at his resolute face, I think what he said is true.
"Anything else weird?" At this moment, Wan Gu suddenly asked.
Village Chief Chen was silent for a long time, and suddenly realized: "By the way, I heard from the hunters in the village that they saw other people's footprints in the mountains and forests, and it seems that there are people living in the mountains and forests. You must know that in our village in the past few years, apart from you two Dao Chiefs, there has been no other path at all. ”
When Wan Gu heard this, his eyes suddenly froze, but he was a little more interested.
The old man struggled for a long time, but still said: "If the Taoist chief can't do anything, then don't wade into this troubled water, don't even cause the Taoist to lose his life, if it doesn't work in a month or two, we can only relocate the whole village, alas, I don't know what evil has been done!" ”
Wan Gu glanced at the old man, he didn't expect that there were such kind people in this poor mountain and bad water.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "This matter will be handed over to us, if even the two of us can't solve it, it won't be too late for you to relocate." ”
"Thank you! Thanks a lot! ”
When Village Chief Chen heard this, he immediately thanked him, and his relieved look made people feel pitiful.
He had already seen that the two people in front of him, Wan Gu, were the heads, as long as Wan Gu nodded, it meant that the Bai Dao people who seemed to be more skilled in Dao Law would also stay.
After all, in the subconscious of the world, people think that older people are more powerful.
At this moment, Wan Gu took out some oceans, put them on the table, and said, "The two of us are running all the way, and we are trying to wash properly, and we are bothering the old man to prepare some hot water first, and this little silver can be regarded as the reward for the old man." ”
Village Chief Chen looked at the ocean on the table, suddenly his eyes shrank, and he waved his hand again and again.
"This can't be helped, can't be helped, never can be helped, the Taoist chief is here to subdue demons and eliminate demons in my village, and we should pay the Taoist chief, how can there be such a reason!"
In fact, these oceans were of little use to him, after all, their villages rarely entered the city, and even if they did, most of them were bartered.
