The second case, the ancient village secretary 05

Surrounded by dense jungle, Shen Zezhi chased after that shadow more and more, and became more and more unable to get down. He had left the main road, and there was simply no way to go here. Shen Zezhi stopped, the front was completely dense, and it was dangerous to walk into such a place alone.

Suddenly, a chuckle came, and Shen Zezhi's eyes turned grim and walked towards the woods. Since someone is going to lead him there, won't he let people down if he doesn't go?

Shen Zezhi walked into the dense forest and discovered the uniqueness of this place. It turned out to be a dense forest from the outside, but from the inside, there was only one tree. It's a huge tree. It took about five or six adults to hold hands around the thick trunk. And its trunk hung down to the ground at the edges because it was too big, and the branches that hung down to the ground took root. These trees are all connected to the giant tree in the center. Shen Zezhi had never seen this kind of tree, and he didn't seem to have found any kind of tree that could survive like this.

Shen Zezhi walked over, he gently stroked the trunk of the tree, and he felt a powerful force, and this power was the powerful survival power of this giant tree. Shen Zezhi couldn't help but sigh for it.

Suddenly, a chill came up from behind him, followed by a cold, slippery arm around his neck. Shen Zezhi lowered his eyes and looked at the arm. It's as white as it is transparent. Then, another hand reached behind him and reached through his neckline. The feeling of the cool fingers caressing his chest was like a snake crawling into his clothes. Not at all.

Shen Zezhi looked at the hands coldly, and when they crossed his waist and wanted to touch them down, he reached out and grabbed them.

The woman behind her let out a giggle that was tinged with a hint of flattery. Shen Zezhi was unaware of this. He took a step away from the woman's embrace before turning to look at her. At the first glance of the woman, Shen Zezhi raised his eyebrows. I have to say, this is really an extremely beautiful woman. She was tall, wearing a red robe, her head was black and bright, and her skin was white and almost transparent. A pair of phoenix eyes, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, and the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are charming.

Shen Zezhi looked at her cautiously, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are. The woman in red looked at Shen Zezhi's expression and covered her mouth and smiled, he said, "You are really interesting, as long as a man sees a beautiful woman, where can he have such an expression?" ”

Shen Zezhi looked at him and said lightly: "Since you are no longer alive, why do you still want to be nostalgic?" ”

The woman's face changed, and she turned out to be faintly angry: "You don't have to worry about my affairs." She said coldly, "You go." ”

Shen Zezhi was surprised to hear this red-clothed female ghost say this, he originally thought that this female ghost had brought her here to kill him, but he didn't expect that she was just touched by this female ghost, but she didn't hurt his life. Shen Zezhi let go of the hand with the Buddha bead slightly. He asked, "Why did you kill the old stubborn?" ”

As soon as the female ghost heard these three words, she was immediately angry, and for a while, a yin wind blew in the open space between the canopies, and Shen Zezhi could hardly open his eyes. When I looked at the female ghost again, I saw that she was dressed in red and her black hair was raised. Only then did Shen Zezhi realize that she was wearing a red wedding dress. Could it be that the female ghost was getting married when she died? However, looking at the style of her clothes, it is speculated that this female ghost has been dead for hundreds of years. In this case, what grudge can he have with the old stubborn. It is estimated that she died for hundreds of years, and the old stubborn was born.

The female ghost in red let out a piercing laugh, and she grabbed Shen Zezhi's neck violently and said, "Why kill him, I not only want to kill him, but I also want to kill Jiaojia Village." They have imprisoned me here for hundreds of years, and now I have come out to take revenge.

Shen Zezhi was pinched by her and had difficulty breathing, but the female ghost was still merciful in the end. Otherwise, Shen Zezhi would have been suffocated a long time ago. He grabbed the female ghost's wrist and broke it open. A hint of surprise flashed in the female ghost's eyes, and she let go of his hand with his strength.

Shen Zezhi covered his neck and coughed a few times: "Why did they imprison you?" ”

The female ghost sneered: "Why don't you ask them?" ”

Shen Zezhi said: They are so defensive of me, and they still ask! If you don't ask, you're going to sweep the floor out, and if you ask, you'll be kicked out immediately.

The female ghost squinted her eyes and looked at Shen Zezhi: "You are not from Jiaojia Village, right?" ”

Shen Zezhi nodded.

The female ghost turned around and said, "Then you go, I won't kill innocent people." ”

This female ghost is quite moral. Shen Zezhi became more curious about her and Jiaojiacun's affairs. He walked up to the female ghost and said, "Tell me why you killed them." ”

The female ghost looked at him coldly: "Why should I tell you." ”

Shen Zezhi: "Looking at your appearance, you know that you haven't spoken to anyone for hundreds of years, tell me what's wrong." ”

The female ghost thought about it, she was really lonely for hundreds of years, and it was rare to meet someone like Shen Zezhi who was not afraid of her and did not avoid her like a snake and scorpion, so she opened her mouth and told her story.

The story begins hundreds of years ago. At that time, I didn't know what dynasty it was, anyway, it wasn't the Qing Dynasty. Here in Jiaojia Village is the same as now, the people inside have lived here for generations, and rarely go out. One year, when the year was bad, there was almost no harvest in the village, and many people died of starvation in the village. There was a young man who grew up without a father or mother and ate a hundred family meals, and in the famine year, he did not receive food from his own family. So, he left Jiaojia Village alone.

He had never been out of the village since he was born, and he had no idea of the road outside. So I went around the mountains for a long time before I went out. By the time he reached an official road, he was already dying. He fainted on the road hungry and tired, and when he saw that the sky was immortal, he actually met the father of the female ghost. The female ghost's father was a merchant who sold some goods from the north to the south every year. Every year, we must walk this official road.

When he saw an unconscious young man lying on the road, he saved his life. When the young man woke up, he was very grateful to the female ghost's father for saving his life, so he stayed at the female ghost's house as a shopkeeper. The young man is down-to-earth and diligent and has a flexible brain, but he became the shopkeeper in two years, and he took good care of the voice of the female ghost's house, but he never had two hearts, and he did not take a penny more from the store in private.

The female ghost is about the same age as the young man, and when she sees him like this, she slowly falls in love with him over time. The father of the female ghost has only one daughter, the female ghost, and has been regarded as the pearl of the palm since she was a child. was worried that she would marry into someone else's family and be angry, thinking of recruiting a son-in-law. But who is willing to let their son be a son-in-law for someone else? Even if there is, the female ghost's father is worried that she is coming for the family's share of the family business, and he is afraid that his daughter will be bullied if he dies.

But when he met the young man, he observed him for two years and found that his character was very good, and he was also a little attracted to his daughter, so he simply let the young man be his son-in-law. In the sixth year of the young man's arrival at the female ghost's house, the two discussed getting married, and the young man talked about his hometown. He was taken care of by the villagers and grew up, and his marriage naturally wanted the people of Jiaojia Village to participate. But the female ghost's house and Jiaojia Village are far away, and I don't know how long it will take to come and go.

Later, the female ghost came up with the idea, and the wedding is now held once at the female ghost's house, and then it will be held again in the young man's hometown Jiaojia Village. The youth echoed her proposal. They first became relatives at home, and half a year later, the young man took him to Jiaojia Village. It's just that the female ghost didn't expect that she would die here this time.

After he and the young man returned to Jiaojia Village, he was welcomed by everyone, because the young man had a good character and everyone liked him. The young man remembered that he had survived because the villagers had taken care of him all these years, and he bought things for everyone. Na Cheng thought that his kindness had become a talisman for their husband and wife.

There is a Jiao Jiao Er in Jiaojia Village, who is a scoundrel. Everyone in the village was annoyed by everyone who stole chickens and dogs, but when he was young, he was very kind to the young man and gave him a few bowls of rice to eat. The young man remembered his kindness, and when he came back to see that his parents were dead, and that there was only one thatched hut in the house, he gave him a sum of money to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law. The young man has been away from home for more than six years, so he naturally doesn't know what this Jiao Er has become. Jiao Er saw a poor boy who was helpless and relied on everyone's help to guess that he had survived, and he came back this time wearing silk and satin, and he was generous. Knowing that he was making a fortune outside. When he saw that the daughter-in-law brought back by the young man was young and beautiful, he became ill-hearted.

The young man told the elders in the village about returning to his hometown to pay tribute to his parents, and everyone saw that he was well developed and remembered that the people in his hometown were very enthusiastic to help him organize the wedding. A few days later, the young man and the female ghost became friends again in Jiaojia Village according to local customs. During the banquet, Jiao Er had bad intentions and united the young man who was usually drunk with his good people. They pretended to be kind enough to send the young man back to his new house, but they thought that he had changed his ways when he saw his childhood friend, so they went back to their homes. But the youth only wants the silver of the youth. Originally, it would have been nothing if he had only taken the silver and left.

The bad thing is that he saw the female ghost wearing a wedding dress and moved his evil heart, and he actually wanted to rape the female ghost, and the female ghost woke up the young man during the struggle, and the young man saw that the matter was about to be exposed, so he simply didn't do anything and strangled the young man with a few other people. But they didn't pay attention and let the female ghost run out.

The female ghost ran to the house of the most powerful patriarch in the village at that time. The female ghost cried and told the story, and the patriarch was angry and asked Jiao Er to tie up Jiao Er. Unexpectedly, Jiao Er was tied up by Wuhua but he didn't panic at all, he smiled and said a few names. The female ghost found that he didn't say a name, and the elders of the surrounding Jiaojia Village had ugly faces. In the end, the patriarch didn't ask anything, but just locked Jiao Er up temporarily. The female ghost felt that something was wrong, and when she came out at night, she happened to hear the conversation of the elders of the Jiaojia Village clan.

It turned out that the people Jiao Er said were the children and grandchildren of the patriarch and elders. If they want to deal with Jiao Er, they naturally can't protect their children and grandchildren. But if they don't deal with it, this is another homicide case, and the female ghost will naturally go back to sue the official when she leaves the village. Later, they discussed and discussed, and even discussed a way to do nothing. Kill the female ghost, it's a hundred. Anyway, the young man also said before that the female ghost's family did not know the exact location of Jiaojia Village. Jiaojia Village is located in a hidden location, and people from outside can easily find it, and even if they do, it can be said that they have left. There is no evidence of death left and right.

The female ghost overhears their conversation and wants to sneak out overnight, but soon the people of Jiaojia Village find that she is gone. So the people of the entire Jiaojia Village got up to look for her, but in the end she still didn't escape. The people of Jiaojia Village strangled her, hastily dug a pit in the mass grave, and buried her with the youth.

But what happened after that made the female ghost even more unbelievable. She died because she didn't live long, so there was no ghost to take her back to the underworld. She had nowhere else to go, but she was able to guard her and her husband's bodies. That Jiao Er was severely punished by the evil patriarch of Jiaojia Village because of this incident. Holding a grudge, he found the place where their bodies were buried the next night and dug up the grave. He chopped up the young man's corpse and dragged it to the back mountain and fed it to the wild dogs. When he saw the corpse of the female ghost, he couldn't help but look straight in the eyes. For some reason, although it was the height of summer, her body did not decompose, and her dead appearance actually looked more cold than her living appearance.

Jiao Er shamelessly insulted her corpse, but the female ghost watched but couldn't do anything. When his mind calmed down, Jiao Er felt scared, he hastily buried the body and ran to the team leader, saying that he was worried that the female ghost would become angry and turn into a ghost to settle accounts with the villagers.

The patriarch was at a loss, and he was also worried that the female ghost would turn into a powerful ghost and come to him for revenge after her death, so he found a Taoist priest to crush the evil corpse of the female ghost under a tree. As a result, the female ghost was born under a tree and was imprisoned for hundreds of years and could not be reincarnated. Her resentment became heavier day by day, and finally her resentment gathered and turned into another ghost.

I didn't know what happened a while ago, and the magic circle that imprisoned her was destroyed, giving the female ghost a chance. After these few days, she finally completely destroyed the magic circle set up by the Taoist priest at that time and escaped from the confinement. The first thing she did when she came out was to kill people, and the people of Jiaojia Village shared the sky with her. She vowed to kill all the people in Jiaojia Village.

She has been pressed here for generations, and the old stubborn head of the way of nature is the descendant of Jiao Er. So he was the first to kill the old stubborn man.

Shen Zezhi was silent for a long time after listening to the story, he felt that although the female ghost was full of hatred, she did not kill innocents indiscriminately. But the people who participated in this matter back then have long since turned into a handful of soil, and it is definitely not possible to seek revenge on them. But the female ghost has a grudge in her heart, so she wants to kill the descendants of these people to take revenge.

"The people of the year are already dead, and it makes no sense for you to kill their descendants now." Shen Ze's way.

The female ghost sneered: "I know what you mean. But my husband died tragically, and I was insulted by the beast when I died, is that all? ”

Shen Zezhi said: "But your enemies are dead. Why bother with it? ”

"You said lightly, I am now a lonely soul, but they live safely for generations. Why! The female ghost said sadly.

Shen Zezhi said: "I can help you die." ”

The female ghost's expression was gloomy: "Even if you die, my husband has already been reincarnated for many generations." As she spoke, her face changed and her tone mocked: "Do you think he is a good person?" The old stubborn man I killed today, do you know what he did? ”

Shen Zezhi frowned: "What's the matter." ”

"Do you think he doesn't have a human life on his hands?" Female ghost road.

Shen Ze's heart moved and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The female ghost covered her mouth and smiled, she looked at Shen Zezhi: "Don't meddle in things, you can go." I don't want to kill innocent people."

Shen Zezhi frowned: "What if I don't leave?" ”

The female ghost said: "Then I have to kill you together." ”

Shen Zezhi shook his head: "I won't leave, and I won't let you kill." ”

The female ghost looked at him coldly: "Are you looking for death?" ”

Shen Zezhi held the Bodhi bead bracelet and chanted the Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, and suddenly a dazzling Buddha light appeared on his body, and the female ghost screamed sadly, turned into a puff of smoke and drilled into the giant tree.

Shen Zezhi listened and brought the Bodhi bead back to his wrist. He looked at the giant tree and said, "No wonder this tree can grow so big, it has been raised by the resentment of female ghosts for hundreds of years, and it has long been refined." It's just that now the Tao is not enough, and it can't be transformed.

"You come out, let's cooperate." Shen Ze's way.

The female ghost timidly showed half of her face from behind the tree and looked at Shen Zezhi fearfully: "What cooperation." ”

Shen Zezhi said: "My three friends are missing here, you help me find them, and I will help you find your husband." ”

The female ghost rolled her eyes and asked, "Can you really help me find my husband?" ”

Shen Zezhi: "You also saw it just now, and what I said can be done naturally." ”

The female ghost said, "Okay, I'll help you." ”

Shen Zezhi said: "You can't kill anymore. ”

The female ghost gritted her teeth: "I want revenge." ”

Shen Zezhi said in a deep voice: "If you insist on revenge, I can only eliminate the demon and defend the Dao and scatter you." Besides, if you get too much blood, even if you find your husband, there is no way for you to get together again. ”

The female ghost was stunned: "We can still be together again." ”

Shen Zezhi smiled and did not speak.

The female ghost hesitated: "Okay, if you can help me meet my husband and let us continue the relationship, I will let go of my hatred." ”

Shen Zezhi stretched out his hand: "Give me a token of yours, and I'll help you go to the underworld to check on your husband's affairs." But after all, your husband has been dead for hundreds of years, and this matter is not so easy to investigate. ”

The female ghost nodded and burrowed into the trunk of the tree, and after a while she came out with a bloody purse in her hand. The female ghost looked at the purse with gentle eyes and said, "This is the purse I embroidered for my husband, and he has been carrying it for a long time." ”

Shen Zezhi took the purse and said, "Remember what you said." ”

The female ghost stood by the tree and watched Shen Zezhi leave, and after a while he got into the tree.

Shen Zezhi looked at the purse as he walked, thinking that it was because she was worried about her husband that she did not lose her heart. Thinking of their story told by the female ghost again, Shen Zezhi's eyes slowly turned cold.

Discovering the female ghost is just an opportunity for him and Noriko to stay in the village more justifiably. Jiaojia Village is by no means as peaceful as it seems. There are so many shady things hidden in this village. Every one of its ulterior secrets carries cruel blood.

The disappearance of the three policemen may only reveal the tip of the iceberg.
