Zhou Yuefeng is really tired, his tiredness is not only physical, but also the current situation, he has been delayed here for too much time, he originally came to find Qian Minghe, but he didn't see the shadow of Qian Minghe. On the contrary, it has been entangled in this village.

After attracting these spirits, he fell asleep, and slept very soundly, and slept from night to dusk the next day, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the horse monkey sitting next to him, opened his dry lips, which were already a little white, and said softly: "Water!" ”

As soon as the horse monkey heard that the person next to him woke up, he jumped and went to pour water. While running, he shouted: "Brother Feng is awake!" Brother Feng woke up! When they heard this, they all gathered around. Zhou Yuefeng looked at everyone surrounding him, feeling like a body that was being said goodbye to.

Immediately sat up: "I'm in good health, but I've slept for a while, don't make it look like a body is saying goodbye!" ”

Bihe was very worried, and hurriedly walked over, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, they had never seen Zhou Yuefeng sleep for so long, even when he was in the Circulating Tomb, everyone was tired and asleep, he still remained vigilant and meditated on the stone.

Bihe said: "Brother Feng, you haven't eaten for a day and a night, hurry up and drink some porridge." ”

Zhou Yuefeng didn't feel anything when he first woke up, but now when he saw the porridge in Bihe's hand, his stomach really began to growl constantly. He smiled at Bihe, then took the porridge in her hand, drank it in a big gulp, and said while drinking: "Thank you, Sister Bihe, this porridge is so delicious." ”

Everyone was stunned when they saw him like this, they had been following Zhou Yuefeng for so long, and they had never seen him like this. Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, but they couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Yuefeng slept a lot, he couldn't sleep at night, he sat alone on the big stone in the yard, this village was foggy during the day, and he could be clearer at night, and it was the only time that he could make people feel refreshed, he sat on the stone and looked at the sky, thinking that he must not delay here anymore.

Now those resentful spirits have also been sent to the netherworld by him, and he has also counted a matter of concern here, he should leave here with his brothers early the next morning, go to find Qian Minghe, and Su Wu, who met that night, he wants to ask face to face why he stole the Great Seal of the Soul Suppression at that time, and also find the legendary water monster, and see if this thing is guarding the ancient tomb with secrets like Jiuying.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuefeng got up and walked towards the west wing, but as soon as he walked to the door to open the door, he saw a figure from the shadow shining down from the moon. If you look closely, isn't this the village chief?

Just asked, "Village chief?" How are you? ”

The village chief said slowly: "You can't go!" ”

When Zhou Yuefeng heard this, his first reaction was: "Why is this old man so difficult, didn't he help him get things done in the village?" Don't let yourself go yet", thinking of this, he unconsciously frowned, but out of respect for the village chief, he did not say anything disrespectful.

I didn't intend to listen to the old man's words, so I asked lightly: "I have already disposed of the spirits in your village, what are you leaving us doing here?" ”

The village chief said a sentence at this time, which made Zhou Yuefeng make up his mind not to leave, and he felt that this ancient village might be the place he was looking for. When the village chief heard that he didn't want to stay, he said: "The coal mine below the ancestral hall is an ancient tomb!" That ancient tomb is connected to the Qian Ming River! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Zhou Yuefeng's eyes suddenly opened up, it turned out that the previous toss was in vain, what Qian Ming Mountain, what revolving door, maybe there is also an ancient tomb, maybe there is the source of the Qian Ming River, but these are not important, the most important thing turned out to be the ancestral hall that he had been ignorant!

Although Zhou Yuefeng has now made up his mind not to leave, he still wants to know the reason why the village chief wants to keep him, so he asked: "Village chief, what else is there to do if you leave our brothers behind?" ”

At this time, the village chief heard that Zhou Yuefeng had the intention of staying, so he relaxed a little, and said: "The ancestral hall is not peaceful, and now the altar is also destroyed, the goddess and the priest are dead, how to go in the future, I still need you to give you a clear way, it is better to give a fish than to give a fish, or to teach us what to do in the future to keep the village peaceful." ”

Zhou Yuefeng thought about it, no matter whether this ancestral hall was consistent with what he was looking for, it was imperative to stay here, and he also wanted to find out what was going on with the shadow ghost, and he also wanted to know the real reason why the coal mine, which was originally of high value, was abandoned.

So he happily agreed to the village chief: "This is okay, then I will postpone my own affairs for two more days, help people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west." ”

The village chief was happy when he heard this, and Zhou Yuefeng also had a reason to continue to stay here to study, which can be said to be a mutually beneficial thing.

Zhou Yuefeng wanted to know more about this ancient village and ancestral hall, and it should be the wisest choice to ask the village chief. So he asked: "Village Chief, let me help you find the secret of the water monster and solve the mystery of this ancestral hall, but you have to tell me the history of this ancient village and the ancestral hall and what happened here, so that I can analyze where the strange thing is." ”

The village chief saw that the sky was about to dawn, and said: "Let's rest first, this matter cannot be explained overnight, and tomorrow we will talk about it, the body is the capital of the revolution." With that, he walked towards the main house with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Yuefeng looked at the moon in the sky again, knowing that he would have to face new challenges after waking up, he strengthened his determination and walked into the west wing.

After a quick breakfast, they were called to the main house by the village chief, and then closed the door mysteriously, Zhou Yuefeng knew that he was going to tell them about the previous affairs of the village, so he cheered up the spirit.

The village chief didn't say anything long-winded, and said directly: "I think everyone knows, this village is not an ordinary village, I thought that the river god would bless us, so I entered the river god Niangniang every year, but this year the river god has a disaster, I'm afraid this village will really be saved in the future, I see that this little brother knows the magic of the supernatural, so I want him to stay and help figure out what is going on." ”

Cui Fatzi interjected: "This village is fucking evil, but we can't work in vain, can we?" After speaking, he looked at the village chief with a wicked smile, and the village chief didn't know how to pick up the stubble for a while, but fortunately Zhou Yuefeng was there, so he quickly revealed the topic: "Don't make trouble, you kid, listen to the village chief tell us." ”

After speaking, he smiled at the village chief and motioned for him to continue. The village chief cleared his throat and said, "This is a long story, I was still young at that time, and one day suddenly a lot of corpses floated from the Ming River, and the corpses floated so much that they almost blocked the river, and those corpses were also strange, and they gathered in front of the village, and the fish in the river bit and ate those corpses at night, making a 'click' sound, and they didn't dare to let the children go out at night." ”

At this time, Uncle Quan spoke: "I have heard about this, how old am I to you, I was learning art with my master at that time, but I didn't let go of the work of the corpse removal team, and several brothers in the team told me at that time that they also came to collect the corpse in person." ”

The village chief continued, "But you have never heard of it. When he said this, he had that uncomfortable expression on his face, as if he didn't dare to say it, and after a while, he said: "Later, the corpse collection team couldn't get it and left, and the corpse decayed and affected the water quality, so we fished out those things and burned them." ”

Zhou Yuefeng asked: "It is impossible for so many corpses to drift for no reason, what happened when I didn't check it at that time?" ”

The village chief replied: "At that time, the war had just been won, and there was a famine, and whoever had the heart to investigate it heard that there was a plague in the upper ranks. However, it is said that there are so many corpses floating in this river, how can the villagers live, so they scooped up these corpses and burned them. ”

"But at this time, something strange happened, he Uncle Quan should know that this dead drifter will float up only if it has been dead for a long time, and those who have just died will sink into the water, but when the villagers salvaged it, they found that it was not right at all! The corpses above looked fresh, but the ones below were so rotten that only bones remained! ”

Hearing this, everyone was excited, and it was extremely terrifying to think of that scene, and the village chief continued: "And when the corpses were being fished out, the villagers found that those corpses did not float over by themselves, but seemed to have something here that attracted them. ”

The eighteen villagers who survived all returned to their homes, and now there were only twelve people left in the main house, plus Uncle Quan and the eight of them, all of them were motionless as if they had agreed, because this plot was so weird, they were completely shocked.

The village chief continued: "While he was fishing, suddenly there was a huge wave in the middle of the river, and then a behemoth did not know what it was, and suddenly it burst out of the river, and its body was the size of a house, and from a distance it looked like a flower, and it ate most of these corpses in one bite, and then disappeared. ”

After this happened, rumors arose, saying that there were all kinds of things, some said that it was a water monster, and some said that it was the manifestation of the river god, but the most common theory was that the river god came to help clean up the accumulated corpses, so the custom of the sacrifice was passed down, so that the river god would not be angry and disaster, and it was also to thank the river god for helping to drive away these dead drifters.
