Chapter Seventy-Four: A Strange Village
Looking at the irritable behavior of those villagers, I have already roughly guessed that the people who pose a threat to the village should be those of us so-called people from other villages.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so angry when they see an unfamiliar vehicle.
I didn't pay much attention to that. He smiled wryly, quickly started the car, turned around, and then stepped over the grass on the side, driving only towards the interior of the village.
After all, the old lady Wu we are looking for is still living in the village, and if I don't go in, it is very likely that my schedule to terminate the contract will be delayed, and all my future arrangements will be in vain
The car jolted along the small road in the village, and layers of thick dust and haze swept up from under the tires and gradually spread throughout the air, blocking the view of the villagers.
At this moment, our car seized this gap, escaped from the sight of the villagers smoothly, and drove all the way towards the interior of the village.
When I came to the village, I found that there was a strong strange atmosphere in the village at this moment.
And, most suspiciously, every house I saw had a red rope soaked in cinnabar water tied to the door to ward off evil spirits.
Although I don't know what the villagers' intentions are at this moment, I can deduce from the strange atmosphere that pervades the village that there is a high probability that there are zombies in the village today.
Zombies and ghosts, although both come from humans, have essential differences.
Ghosts, with a certain amount of power in the body, can pose an indirect threat, sometimes mentally and sometimes physically.
Zombies, on the other hand, because of their powerful entities, generally use direct attacks on humans, which can help them get the blood nourishment they need in the shortest possible time.
There are many types of zombies, and the gap between them is quite large.
According to the records in "Sacrificial Dao Heavenly Punishment", zombies are divided into four types: jumping corpses, walking corpses, wandering corpses, and intelligent corpses.
And the weakest of these four is the walking corpse, after all, at the moment their attack method is relatively simple, and their intelligence is low, so they are extremely easy to deal with.
As for reaching the stage of jumping corpses and wandering corpses, their intelligence will develop to a certain extent, and their attack methods will become more complicated, and the difficulty of dealing with them will of course increase accordingly.
And the most terrifying thing is the intelligent corpse, because the zombies at this stage have completely recovered the intelligence of humans, and the strength of the zombie body has also developed to the extreme. And if you want to fight with them, it's not something that one or two Wu Jiu and other Kuidao can do.
The most famous intelligent corpses in history are the four corpse ancestors of zombies: Houqing, Yinggou, Drought Fish, and Generals
Not long after the car was driven, we came to the address marked on the locator.
What appeared in front of us at this moment was a brick bungalow, which was not luxurious, but faintly evoked some fond memories of my childhood.
After all, at that time, I lived in such a brick house with my master. So, after seeing the brick bungalow, some memories in my heart poured out like a spring. On the other hand, Ke Meng, who was standing beside me at the moment, had a calm face and no reaction.
After calming myself down a little, I stepped forward quickly and knocked on the door in front of me.
I only heard a knock on the door not long after, and an old voice that I was very familiar with slowly drifted out from behind the door: "It's not dawn yet, who is this?" ”
"Grandma Wu, I am Ouyang Yuqing, who signed a contract with you a few days ago, and I have something important to ask for this time." Shortly after I finished speaking, the door in front of me slowly opened, and then a figure I had not seen for a long time gradually walked out of the door.
"Eh, it's you stinky boy, I really didn't expect that I had already come here, and I could actually let you find it, you are really not simple." After a few taunts at me, the old woman smiled wryly, then turned around and walked slowly into the house with a cane: "All right, come in quickly." ”
smiled and nodded to Ke Meng on the side, and then I gently took her hand and led her into the bungalow in front of me.
After entering the room, my first impression was that the layout of this room was very similar to that in the Red Refining Ghost Mansion.
It's just that the difference between the top and bottom of this bungalow is not as big as the Red Refining Ghost Mansion.
"Boy, let's talk about it, can't you stand the stimulation of the Red Refining Ghost Mansion anymore, that's why you think of coming to me?" At this moment, Mrs. Wu did not beat around the bush with me, but directly stated my intention to come here.
When I heard her words, a smile of affirmation rose on my lips and I nodded at her.
"That's right, with my current strength, I'm just a Heavenly Master who has just entered the industry, let alone dealing with the ghosts of the Red Refining Ghost Mansion, even ordinary ghosts need to work hard, so I still ask you to cancel my contract with it. Otherwise, the next time you see me, I might be a white skeleton. "In order to prevent the old lady from being disgusted by my words, I specially mixed some funny ingredients into my words.
Although in the eyes of Mrs. Wu, my words are ridiculous, but in my opinion, if I don't break the contract with the Red Refining Ghost Mansion, maybe this joke will really appear to me.
"Hmph, when Wu Jiu told me about this, I felt that it was inappropriate, after all, I can see at a glance how much strength your kid has." As she spoke, the old woman's expression suddenly became serious, and she stared at me and Ke Meng, and immediately shouted, "Boy, did you meet the funeral procession when you came?" ”
"How do you know this?" After listening to Mrs. Wu's words, Ke Meng's expressions and I became strange in an instant, and we asked eagerly.
"Hmph, you have the breath of the funeral procession, although it is not too strong, but it can't escape the eyes of the old lady." As she spoke, the old lady coughed slightly, nodded our bodies, and explained, "Did the funeral team do anything strange to you?" ”
"Also, when they saw our car, they said that we brought the trouble, and then they were ready to attack us, and if we hadn't run fast, they might have been arrested by them by now." After listening to Mrs. Scoundrel's words, Ke Meng on the side couldn't hold back any longer, so she hurriedly explained to Mrs. Wu, and while she spoke, the expression on her face was constantly telling Mrs. Wu how nervous she was now.
As for Mrs. Wu, after hearing Ke Meng's words again, she suddenly laughed and replied: "Haha, those villagers are really interesting, as long as they see an outsider, they think that something bad will happen." ”
"Alright, boy, help you break the contract, no problem. However, you'll have to help me settle the affairs of the village first. Otherwise, no matter how much you ask me, I will never help you. As soon as the words fell, the old lady saw the embarrassed look on my face, and immediately hurriedly added after the words: "Don't worry, this thing won't take you long, it should be able to be completed in one day." As long as you solve the problem, not only can I help you cancel the contract of the haunted house, but I will also let you live in the haunted house for free, no money. ”
After seeing me nodding hesitantly, the old lady smiled bitterly, and immediately introduced: "Boy, you go to the village chief's house in the east of the village now, I feel that something may happen to their family soon, and you should be able to find a breakthrough in the matter from him." Okay, hurry up, otherwise it will delay the time, and your future arrangements will be delayed. ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but look surprised.
To be honest, I always feel that the old lady Wu in front of me is not quite right.
Because, whatever I wanted to say to her, he was able to give me the most satisfactory answer in the shortest possible time, as if she could see from my heart what I said.
Not to mention the distance, take my Halloween party two days later, for example, I only told Liu Daring about the four of them, and the rest didn't know about it at all, let alone the old lady.
Coupled with the fact that she just said that it would only take me a day and would not delay my arrangements, it was clear that she knew everything about what I was going to do in the future.
From this point of view, the old lady in front of me is definitely not simple. If I'm not wrong, she's probably really able to spy on people's hearts.
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Wu, I took Ke Meng and drove towards the village chief's house at the east end of the village.
Along the way, I could always see some villagers looking at us strangely, and some were even ready to smash our cars with bricks.
Luckily, we weren't moving so slowly that we were out of their sight before they could turn around.
When I came to the door of the village chief's house, I found that there were many red evil ropes tied to the door of the village chief's house at this moment.
"Is the village chief at home?" Walking slowly to the door, I knocked softly on the door and asked.
"Let's go, let's go, we haven't done anything, don't come to us." It wasn't long before a man's timid voice came from behind the door.
"Hello village chief, I'm a sacrificial Dao Heavenly Master, I'm here to help you solve your problem, please open the door." As soon as I said this, the door in front of me was quickly opened, and a scrawny young man stepped out of the door.
After the door opened, the man did not immediately invite us in, but looked us up and down, and then nodded to us: "Come in." ”
Looking at his strange appearance, Ke Meng and I couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.
I really don't know what it is that makes them so cautious.
followed the thin man all the way to the living room, only to see that there were two men and a woman sitting in the living room at the moment.
Each of them was very thin and thin, as if they had crossed straight over from the hard sixties.
"You're the Priest Heavenly Master?" After seeing me and Ke Meng enter the living room, one of the middle-aged men slowly stood up and asked nervously.
At this time, I could see that there was a cloudiness in his eyes, so that it seemed that he was listless.
"That's right, I'm the Sacrificial Dao Heavenly Master who specializes in catching demons and driving out ghosts." In response to the middle-aged man's question, I nodded affirmatively.
"Great, if you come, our village will be saved. Hello, I am Wang Zhu, the head of this village. After a brief introduction to himself, the village chief hurriedly welcomed Ke Meng and me into the seats on the side.
After I sat down, I asked softly: "Village Chief Wang, I don't know what happened to your village recently, why are the doors of every house tied with red ropes to ward off evil spirits?" ”
"Little brother, do you know, our village's Niuzi's house has been rebuilt recently, but on the way to renovate, I accidentally bumped into a big locust tree in the village, I thought there was nothing, but later, we found a strange female corpse with a well-preserved body at the root of the locust tree. It's just that the female corpse's eyes have become bright red, and the fangs are as sharp as knives. The most terrifying thing is that there is also a faint layer of green hair on her body. As the words blurted out, the village chief's expression became terrifying, and I could clearly see drops of cold sweat of timidity emerging from his forehead.
