Volume 2 Tuoshi Ridge_Chapter 20 A Terrifying Secret
Hearing that Jin Dianlong said that there was a huge secret in Tuoshiling Village, I immediately asked him curiously what he had discovered, and how he suddenly knew the secret of the village.
Jin Dianlong glanced at the cold man, his face solemn, "Have you noticed that there are very few graves in this village?" All we saw was the Abandoned Corpse Rock and Wu Dahan's father's grave, and then we walked around the village for a long time, and there were no graves in other places at all! ”
I was stunned and asked in confusion, "And then, what does this have to do with the secrets of this village?" ”
Jin Dianlong looked at me sadly, sighed and said, "Think about it, this village is almost isolated from the world, and the villagers basically don't go out, so if they die, they will definitely be buried in the village." Although cremation is practiced now, but the countryside is generally still implemented burial, as long as it is a burial, there will be graves, such a large village, thousands of years, there are only a few graves, isn't it strange? ”
I was stunned again and looked straight at the Golden Palace Dragon.
I quickly recalled the scene when we walked around the village, and indeed as Jin Dianlong said, there were really no other graves in this village except for a few old graves on the abandoned corpse rock and the one where Wu Dahan's father was buried!
This village has existed for thousands of years, and the villagers in the village don't know that it has multiplied and died for several generations, so it stands to reason that tombs should be seen everywhere, and this village can't have only a few old tombs!
This is indeed the biggest problem.
"It shouldn't be, unless there are no dead people in this village, and as long as there are dead people there will be graves. This village is so closed, there will definitely be no cremation...... Also, Wu Dahan said that all the villagers in their village who were seventy, thirty or eighty years old would be buried alive, and there should be a lot of graves buried alive alone, but we really haven't seen much. I said as I straightened my train of thought, trying to understand what was going on.
The cold man leaned on the ground, looking at the villagers hidden not far away outside the temple from time to time, his eyes were full of coldness. Seeing his appearance, I always feel a lot more settled, as if as long as he is there, everything will be solved.
I was relieved to discuss this issue with the Golden Palace.
After listening to me, Jin Dianlong slapped me on the shoulder, "You're right, as long as the dead will have graves, then since there are so few graves, it means ......"
He deliberately dragged out his voice, waiting for my reaction.
I blurted out, "It means that this village is basically free of dead people!" ”
Jin Dianlong's eyes flashed, and he nodded to agree with what I said, but I was stunned, as long as it is a person, there will be birth, old age, sickness and death, how can the people of this village not die?
I suddenly thought of Wu Dahan's daughter-in-law who "came back from the dead", she was the one we watched hanged, but then she disappeared, and I heard her come back and plot something with Wu Dahan, I remember that she once said a sentence, as if "wait wait, when do you let me wait", what did Wu Dahan ask her to wait for?
Also, what did the two of them hurry to invite the old woman over and stun me?
I told the cold man and the golden palace dragon all about my experience in their house, and the cold man finally turned around and said, "They are changing their lives!" ”
Swap lives?
"What is a life swap?" I asked the cold man curiously, and suddenly remembered that he had been hiding behind me in the dark, although I was dazed at the time, but the cold man must have seen it in the dark, and he was well-informed, so he must know what it was.
Jin Dianlong also knew that the cold man cherished words like gold, so after the cold man said that he would change his life, he immediately said in a condensed voice: "Changing life is a kind of vicious evil art, that is, using spells to exchange another person's life span for himself. This practice is so vicious that about twenty years ago, many sects came together to resist this kind of magic, which was called witchcraft. At that time, it was originally a small sect that knew this kind of magic, but as soon as it was resisted by various sects, it immediately disappeared in the eyes of people. I didn't expect to be able to see it in this Tuoshi Ridge, this Tuoshi Ridge looks really not simple! ”
I was dumbfounded.
I heard them talk about changing souls before, and now they can actually change their lives, so I was shocked for a long time before I asked, "Are the people in this village dead or alive?" When they besieged us today, I always felt like they were the walking dead. ”
Thinking of the silent appearance of them around the village, I really thought they were just corpses.
"Well, they are neither dead, nor alive, nor alive, they look like normal people during the day, but after midnight they become unconscious corpses. I also saw it when they caught up just now, that look, where it still looks like a living person, I'm afraid that if you cut them with a knife, they won't necessarily know that it hurts, and they can't kill them at all, but fortunately you are back, otherwise they will come to the wheel war and exhaust you to death. Jin Dianlong scratched his head, looking afraid.
I frowned, and asked again, "Then why does Wu Dahan look quite normal, it's past midnight now, but he can still talk and threaten me, I think he is a normal person at all." ”
Jin Dianlong actually knew what was going on, and immediately replied to me, "Although people like them will not die, their lifespan will also be exhausted, only if they exchange their life with a living person, they will walk and talk like a normal person, that Wu Dahan, should have just exchanged his life with someone, so he will be like a normal person." This place is so remote, the people outside are afraid that the people in this village are afraid of death, and they have fewer and fewer opportunities to change their lives, so the other villagers can only move during the day, and at night they become unconscious living dead. ”
It dawned on me.
Wu Dahan should have just changed his lifespan, so like normal people, what his daughter-in-law has been urging him to do is probably to force him to let him attack us, and then change his life with us, so she directed and acted in this scene of being hanged on the abandoned corpse rock and then disappearing, because only in this way can she take it for granted that she fades out of our field of vision, and then attacks us in secret.
What a vicious heart!
"Senior brother should have thought of this a long time ago, so he put you down and let Wu Dahan go, and lured their leader out. I also saw it just now, it's the old woman who is hunched, looking angry, she shouldn't be a good bird! Jin Dianlong looked outside and said in a low voice: "We also have to cheer up, they have been guarding and refusing to leave, I am afraid that they are suffocating." ”
Jin Dianlong was right, the old woman said that I would not live for a few days, and I was going to give up, but I didn't expect to suddenly find the blood beads on my wrist, which led to the later events.
But what Jin Dianlong said was right, these villagers have been lurking, and they must be going to attack us, I hugged Yoyo, clenched the ink ruler in my hand, and stared at the villagers hiding in the shadows outside, not daring to take it lightly, for fear that they would suddenly attack.
We guessed correctly, after the villagers had been hiding in the dark for about half an hour, there was a sudden movement in the grass outside the temple, rustling, as if something was sneaking in.
After hearing the rustling sound, the three of us immediately stood up, and the whole temple seemed to be extremely crowded, and we watched the grass outside the temple gate vigilantly.
We didn't find anything in the grass, but the grass seemed to be blown by a gust of wind, and we could see that the waves were getting closer and closer to the temple, and the waves were moving so fast that after a few minutes, they were only two or three meters away from the front of the temple.
"Strange, what's in the grass, why can't you see them?" I held the ink ruler tightly, stared at the grass, and looked at it for a long time but didn't see what it was, "This can't be a person, people are not so short, not to mention that they are afraid of this temple, and they will definitely not dare to come to attack." ”
Jin Dianlong also muttered, saying that the villagers have been guarding this temple for so long, if they dared to rush up, they would have come up a long time ago, and it would definitely not be those villagers who are attacking now.
Even, the things in the grass are not people.
His reasoning is similar to mine: people don't stay so short, and they don't crawl so far for a long time.
That's weird, what the hell is it?
The three of us waited for the grass, staring at the grass for fear that something in the grass would suddenly rush up to us and attack us.
The things in the grass moved very quickly, and after a while, the wave was already approaching us about a meter away, and the spirits of the three of us were instantly tense, I had already pulled out the ink ruler, ready to fight at any time.
But the strange thing is that when we were more than a meter away, the wave that kept moving stopped instantly, and the things in the grass lurked in the grass and did not move, as if waiting for some time.
I swallowed and stared nervously into the grass.
The cold man and the golden palace dragon also looked curious, not knowing why the things in the grass suddenly stopped.
Await.
Torture.
After about ten minutes, just as our patience was running out, something lurking in the grass suddenly began to kick in, and jumped straight up from the ground, and pounced on the three of us.
After seeing clearly what was rushing towards us, Jin Dianlong scolded, ", this old woman is really good at sideways, and she can actually control this kind of evil thing!" ”
