Chapter 913: Long Live the Ghost King (5)
After listening to the story with his chin propped up, Shi Sheng asked one of the children, "How did you suddenly show up last night?" ”
Last night, these children all appeared out of thin air, since they are not ghosts, how can they appear out of thin air?
Can there be a special function?
"There's a passage underneath this square." The child didn't hide it.
I heard that those passages were dug by the ancestors in the past, and they don't know what they are for.
When they were young, they liked to play in it, and the adults did not prohibit it, and they were very familiar with the passage below.
Quietly appearing in the square is not difficult for petite children.
"Little girl, don't be deceived by them, they are ghosts!" The group of adults also began to make noise.
"Little girl, you have to believe us, they are ghosts, they lie to you."
The villagers' version is the exact opposite of the children's.
They said that these children died in the fire, and when they buried them, seven days later the children of each family suddenly came back one after another, they had no temperature on them, no shadow, and they were very hungry and ate everything.
They are very afraid, although this is their own child, but their child has become a ghost, who can accept it?
The most important thing is that the appearance they show is too terrifying, as soon as midnight, they become denied their relatives, and when it is not serious, they just beat people, and when it is serious, they have to eat people.
They had never heard of such a thing as a ghost eating a man.
If it weren't for that, they wouldn't be so afraid of them.
They found someone and tried to take them in, but they killed all the people they found, and the couple they said was also the one who came to collect them.
Children say adults are ghosts, and adults say children are ghosts.
So who exactly is the ghost?
Shi Sheng looked up at the sky, the sun had already shone not far away, and it would be able to shine on the square in a while.
"Little girl, you have to believe us, we will not harm you, if you really believe them, your time of death will come." The village chief was a little anxious, and he kept looking at the sun.
Shi Sheng propped his chin unmoved, waiting for the sun to shine over.
As the sun got closer, the faces of the villagers became worse and worse, and when the first rays of sunlight hit the villagers, his skin suddenly made a sizzling sound.
The exposed skin, as if splashed with sulfuric acid, began to rot.
"Look, I'll just say they're ghosts." The children pointed to the villagers, "We are not afraid of the sun. ”
"Who told you that ghosts are afraid of the sun?" Shi Sheng looked sideways slightly, with a little smile on his face, "And you have a human body, how can you be afraid of the sun, are you mentally retarded." ”
The voices of the children stopped abruptly, leaving only the screams of the villagers.
Shi Sheng stepped forward to untie the rope of the villager, and said as he untied it: "What are you, Jingmei?" Or a youkai? Or a ghost? ”
The villagers were untied and walked to the eaves below the ancestral hall to block the sunlight.
Several of the children were also exposed to the sun, and there was no difference except that their faces were a little unusual.
"You...... How do you know? ”
Shi Sheng hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "The smell on your body is too bad." ”
A corpse is a corpse after all, and it will carry a smell of decay.
They struggled to get up, Shi Sheng calmly stretched out his hand, and his fingertips tapped twice in the air at random, "Don't waste your efforts, the rope that binds you is frequented, and you little guys who are not in the climate can't break away." ”
The faces of the children changed dramatically, and they hung their heads to look at the rope that bound them.
The hemp rope was tinged with a faint gold, and the more they struggled, the more uncomfortable they became.
Look at the rope that was randomly thrown on the ground and tied the villagers just now, it was ordinary hemp rope.
She already knew?
With this understanding, they knew that the woman in front of them could not be provoked, and they began to beg for mercy.
"Let us go, we are also threatened, watch these people here."
"Please let us go, we didn't mean to......"
Several children begged for mercy, they were just spirits of the mountains, and suddenly one day, a man grabbed them and forcibly stuffed them into the bodies of the villagers.
If they do not obey, they will perish.
It was not easy to cultivate to such an extent, and they didn't want to perish so inexplicably, so they could only promise that man.
"What's that man's name?" There is a conspiracy to lay out here, capitalize and bold!
"I don't know, we don't know what he looks like, he's shrouded in a layer of black fog."
Shi Sheng's cool gaze swept over, and several children shook their bodies, "We...... Really, really don't know. ”
"Please spare us, we didn't hurt them, we just trapped them."
"We only killed a few people, and they didn't obey and ran out, so we would do it, and this was also done as the man ordered, and we really didn't want to."
"It's my business." Shi Sheng rolled his eyes, and he didn't kill her.
The previous ones didn't seem to want to kill her, they just wanted to get rid of her.
"There is a debtor and a debtor, oh, the person you ask for is over there." Shi Sheng raised his chin at the villagers under the eaves.
……
The villagers' skin burns when exposed to sunlight, which also began after the children came back from the dead, and they don't know exactly why.
The villagers didn't expect the final outcome to be like this, their children died, and in the end they were occupied by inexplicable things, which made them how to accept it.
But the villagers still planned to release the spirits.
Shi Sheng was noncommittal about this, anyway, it wasn't her who was injured, what did she worry about.
"Wait a minute!" Shi Sheng stopped those spirits.
The spirits turned their heads with a respectful and fearful attitude, "What else does the Great Immortal command?" ”
"You said you had a child before, what about Da Zhuang?" The villagers had been looking for him before, but until the matter was settled, the child had not yet appeared.
"Da Zhuang? He's a living person, and we're with him because we're afraid of being seen differently. ”
A word of essence is like a stone, stirring up a thousand waves.
Da Zhuang is a living person?
The villagers thought that these children were ghosts, and they didn't think that Da Zhuang was a living person.
After all, he also had an accident with these children and was buried together, but he came back later than these children.
Shi Sheng asked them to describe Da Zhuang's appearance, which was similar to the child she saw last night.
She went straight to the courtyard, and the villagers, for some reason, followed her.
Kicking in the door, Shi Sheng saw the two big water tanks at a glance, and the straw on the water tanks was gone.
Shi Sheng approached the water tank, and a foul smell came to his face, the black liquid of the half water tank.
Shi Sheng covered his mouth and nose, this is blood, blood that keeps accumulating.
Whether it was human or animal blood is unknown.
The cat she saw last night should have been raised from this.
