Chapter 449: Heavenly Damnation
Originally, I was very sympathetic to these villagers, because it seemed that they were being robbed by this group of silent people. But what happened next made me a little indignant. Because I saw the group of dogs rushing into the middle of the black crowd, tearing and biting. There are many people who have their arms torn off or their flesh torn apart.
Of course, those who are silent are also resisting stubbornly. Quite a few dogs were also killed by them.
The villagers, holding torches, watched from afar. They let out a burst of screams, as if cheering on their own dogs.
Eventually, the silent men were defeated, and they began to turn around and flee.
The villagers shouted and the dogs began to chase them. I watched the fires and drove them near the abandoned cave.
I muttered, "This cave is a battlefield, so I had to sleep in it." ”
Chang'e and I sneaked over. I saw the lock on the door of the cave, I don't know when it was opened. Those who are silent are cornered. Driven inside.
Then someone crackled and locked the doors.
I looked at all this thoughtfully, nodded and said, "It turned out to be illegal detention." ”
The villagers gathered for a while, and gradually, they walked away with torches. Only a few of the most ferocious dogs were left, leashed next to the cave.
I couldn't help but walk over and see who these people were. Surprisingly, the dogs didn't bother me. There was neither a loud shout, nor a pounce to bite. It's as if I were an ordinary villager, their master.
I walked to the front of the cave and heard the loud banging of the door inside. I looked one by one and walked to the cave where I had just slept.
I've broken the locks on it. The villagers used a hemp rope instead to tie the two doors. The people inside pushed and smashed, and the two wooden doors were tense.
I walked over and tried to untie the rope.
Chang'e grabbed me: "Don't go." ”
I looked at her and asked, "Why?" ”
Chang'e said: "They are not people. ”
I was stunned when I heard this, and asked curiously, "It's not a human, it's a ghost?" ”
Chang'e didn't tell me, but said lightly: "Your Dao skills are not weaker than anyone else, you can feel it yourself." ”
I suddenly remembered that I was also a cultivator, and I used to be close to the strength of the immortals. So I closed my eyes and carefully sensed the breath around me. This is the first time in months.
I felt like I had reunited with friends I hadn't seen in years.
I can feel it. The one who was imprisoned behind the door had a body and a soul. But his body has been bitten and messed up, and if he were a normal person, he would have fallen to the ground and couldn't stand up at this time. And his soul is even more messy. I even wonder if this spirit can really make him conscious.
My heart suddenly moved, and I said, "Is it a corpse?" ”
Chang'e said: "I feel that someone forcibly stuffed the soul into the corpse of a dead person. And that's it. ”
I immediately realized, "Someone is trying to harm the villagers." ”
I turned around and wanted to take a look inside the village. At this moment, I only heard a thud behind me. Two wooden doors were smashed open.
Then, rushed out a man who was in tatters. He yelled at the dogs, causing them to bark loudly again.
My mahogany sword has been lost. So I kicked him directly. Kicked him back into the cave.
However, the dogs did not give up, and kept barking loudly into the cave.
The barking of dogs attracted the villagers on the hill. They lit torches and rushed down.
It was clear that they were planning to deal with the corpses. But when I suddenly saw Chang'e and I standing here, I couldn't help but be stunned, and my mind seemed to be a little unable to turn around.
Because the clothes of the two of us are not clean, but at least they don't look like corpses.
At this time, two people walked out of the villagers. They pointed at me and Chang'e and shouted, "It's the two of them during the day, you must stay in the cave." I see that they are in the same company as these dead men. ”
The villagers talked a lot, and in short, they decided that we were not good people. And boldly speculate that it was we who released the corpse.
I shook my head and shouted at them, "We are Taoist priests, and we see that there is something abnormal here for you, so we are here to help you." If that's the kind of attitude you have, forget it. ”
The villagers looked at me and Chang'e with wide eyes: "Are you Taoist priests?" How to prove. ”
Just then, the corpses that I kicked away rushed out again. I didn't look at it, I reached out and grabbed his head, and then with a lot of force, pulled it off.
The corpse fell to the ground. The souls inside were scattered in the air. I have the heart to collect them. But I don't have a soul ring. I could only sigh and let them disperse.
When the villagers saw me show such a hand, they already believed it. They let the one make a way and let an old man on crutches come out.
The old man held a torch in his hand and took a careful look at my face: "This gentleman, Gui Geng? ”
It dawned on me that perhaps the mud on my face was too thick for him to tell my age, so I said in a calm voice, "Less than thirty." ”
The old man nodded and said, "What a hero out of a young man." To tell you the truth, we are indeed not very peaceful here. If you can help us solve this catastrophe, you will be our reborn parents. ”
I said to the old man, "Then you tell us first." What the hell is the catastrophe? And what happened to these corpses? ”
The old man sighed and said, "All of these are to blame on the old six." Disrespecting heaven and earth has brought disaster. ”
I asked him, "Who is the sixth child?" ”
The old man sighed and sat down on the floor. said: "More than ten years ago, family planning was very strict. So we have a lot of second children, but there are too few third and fourth children. But the parents of the sixth child are very powerful and are not afraid of punishment. Six were born in a row. The sixth is the youngest. That's why everyone calls him the sixth child. They are also the villagers of our village. ”
I've been in the habit of sitting casually on the ground with my back leaning against a pile of dirt. He asked, "What did he do?" ”
The old man said, "The sixth child has married a daughter-in-law. Neither of them has a good brain. Two days ago, the sixth child lost his temper and beat his daughter-in-law. As a result, the daughter-in-law sprinkled and said that the sixth child is such a bad person, why doesn't the sky thunder. The more she talked, the more angry she became, and she didn't know where to dig out a bucket of dung, walked to the temple at the entrance of the village, and poured her head on the Bodhisattva's head. ”
I thought about that scene for a moment and couldn't help but grin.
The old man said: "After the sixth daughter-in-law did this, she will be in a big disaster. That night, the family was bitten to death. The corpse is rotten. At first, we didn't know what bit him. Later, we found out that it was these corpses that were biting. ”
I asked the old man, "Where did these corpses come from?" ”
The old man said: "I can't hide it, these corpses are dead people who have just been buried, and I don't know what happened, but suddenly they came back to life. When they see a man, they bite it, and they don't bite him to death, and they won't give up. Everyone said that it was the sixth child who offended the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva sent these monsters to punish us. ”
I lazily leaned against the mound, looked at the stars in the sky, and thought to myself, "Bodhisattva? Haven't those immortals been sealed? How else is it possible? What nonsense. ”
I stretched and asked the old man, "Do you plan to keep these corpses in the cave forever?" ”
The old man shook his head: "Of course not, we are ......"
Before the old man could finish his words, a villager suddenly shouted, "Village chief, here." ”
The old man hurriedly whispered, "Hide them all." Extinguish the torches. Keep your dog on a leash. ”
Then, it was plunged into darkness. I saw a flickering light in the distance, flickering towards us.
I was so entagonized by the tension of the villagers that I didn't dare say a word. As the men approached, I saw them dressed in robes and hats on their heads. The whole body was wet.
As they approached, not to mention people, even the dogs that had been fighting bravely with those corpses were lying on the ground, and they didn't dare to come out.
