Chapter Ninety-Three: Revisiting the Village Chief's House
I asked An Xiaotian, since the things inside are so powerful, should we go in?
An Xiaotian glanced at the village and spat on the ground, "Come in, why don't you go in, I want to see what is in here, and I almost killed my master!" ”
In order to prevent accidents, An Xiaotian asked me to walk side by side with him, and he held tightly in his hand what he called the Heavenly Fire Stick, but no matter how I looked at it, it looked like a burning stick.
I also took out the Shura whip and held it tightly in my hand, and every step we took, we were vigilantly observing the surroundings, and we walked for nearly half an hour from the entrance of the village to the distance from entering the village.
The whole village was quiet, so quiet that you could hear the pins falling, not even the insects and birds chirping, there was not a trace of wind, and the time seemed to be straight.
The doors of the houses on both sides of the road are closed, because they have not been tended for a long time, and a layer of dark green moss has grown in some places.
After walking for a while, An Xiaotian suddenly stopped, touched his chin, and muttered, "Strange? ”
But I have already had a lot of thoughts, walking on this familiar road, looking at the familiar houses on both sides, my mind is full of memories of the past, every corner of this place, all full of my memories, but now it has become a lifeless uninhabited village.
My throat felt like something was choked, and my nose was sore.
"It's strange why there's no movement here." An Xiaotiandao.
I let out a long breath and said with a wry smile, "What's so strange about this, the people in the village have long since died, and of course there is no movement." ”
"That's not what I'm talking about." An Xiaotian glanced around, "Since there is such a strong ghost aura at the entrance of the village, but it is clean here, and you can't even feel the slightest ghost qi, which is a bit unreasonable." ”
As he spoke, he walked to the door of a small mud house next to him, touched a small patch of moss growing on the door beam, and then put it in front of his nose and sniffed it.
Then he reached over, but without much force, he pushed the door open with a creak.
I am very familiar with this earthen house, it used to be the house of the old king, the old king's reputation in the village was not very good, he never got married all his life, he has always lived alone, he is selfish and greedy, so the people in the village did not like him very much before.
The moment the door was pushed open, a musty smell and rotting smell came to the face, which is a bit abnormal, because rural people's houses have yards, and if something rots inside, you don't need to open the door at all, you can smell it from outside.
But why did you have to push open the door to smell it this time?
And the smell disappeared in an instant, like a gust of wind, a bit like something invisible running out of it and disappearing.
Because no one has taken care of it for a long time, the yard is overgrown with weeds, and the inside of the house is even more dilapidated, with a thick layer of dust accumulated on the tables, chairs, benches and floors, and dense cobwebs on the beams.
An Xiaotian frowned and didn't speak, and after looking at it for a while, he turned around and left, and then pushed away several houses, all of which were the same scene, overgrown with weeds, cobwebs and knots everywhere, all of them were a dilapidated scene.
I knew all the previous owners of these houses, and now when I saw this scene, I couldn't help but cry again.
"When did you leave the village?" An Xiaotian asked me suddenly, his face was serious, and his two delicate eyebrows were wrinkled, as if he was very panicked.
I thought about it for a while, and said that the last time I left the village, it was about three months now.
"Damn!" An Xiaotian scolded fiercely after hearing this.
I hurriedly asked him what was going on, looked back at a yard full of weeds, and said, "You've only been out of here for more than three months, but if you look at these situations, it looks like it can be formed in just over three months?" ”
I was stunned, I was shocked, I just entered the village, I only cared about sadness, and I didn't pay attention to many details, and now when I hear Xiaohui say this, I feel that the village is full of weirdness.
Take these yards and houses as an example, even if they have not been taken care of for more than three months, they will not be full of weeds, moss growing everywhere on the walls, and a thick layer of dust accumulated on the tables, chairs and stools in the house.
This scene could not be formed for more than three months, and it looks like it has not been inhabited for at least several years!
"This ...... What's going on! "I was speechless in amazement.
"You ask me, I ask who to go!" An Xiaotian also looked a little nervous, "Why don't you just ask why, and use your brains yourself!" ”
Then we walked around the village again, and the whole village looked like this, as if it had been uninhabited for many years.
And it was surprisingly quiet, except for the sound of our breathing and footsteps, there was no sound at all, not even a bird call or a single insect chirping.
This kind of extreme quietness makes people panic inexplicably, although it is still broad daylight, but it still feels cold and swishing in the back.
And I don't know if it's my hallucination, but I always feel that since we entered the village, something has been following us all the time.
An Xiaotian also feels the same way as me, every time he walks for a while, he will look behind him from time to time.
"Tell me in detail about all the strange things that happened before you left the village, and all the details that you felt were wrong, tell me in detail."
An Xiaotian took out a cigarette and lit it, his face looked very solemn.
I tried to calm my emotions down, and it took me a long time to recall everything that happened in the village, and then told An Xiaotian 1510.
An Xiaotian was silent after listening, just frowning and smoking, in just over half an hour, the cigarette butts on the ground that had been thrown by him on the ground.
After a long time, he threw the last cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, "Let's go, let's go to the village chief's house you said first!" ”
I took him to the door of the village chief's house, opened the door, and saw that it was still the same dilapidated scene, except that the five locust trees in the corner of the courtyard had dried up, and the pile of stones in the middle of the locust trees was also scattered aside.
An Xiaotian walked over, tore off a yellow locust leaf and looked at it for a while, then put it under his nose and sniffed it, his brows furrowed more and more.
This time I didn't ask him why, because I could see that something was wrong, and although the village was dilapidated, the plants were growing well, but the locust trees alone were dead, which seemed very unreasonable.
I also picked up a leaf, took it in my hand and looked at it carefully, and found that the color was not quite right, on the surface it looked similar to ordinary dead leaves, but on closer inspection, I could see that these dead leaves were faintly mixed with some blood streaks thinner than a hair.
I followed An Xiaotian's example, put the leaves in front of my nose and smelled them, and I was able to ask a faint smell of blood.
Five locust trees with rocks scattered in between, a pattern similar to what I saw in the school grove.
It's just that the one I saw in school was just five willow trees.
I also heard Long Xiaoman say that this is a kind of formation, if you plant a willow tree, it is a ghost lock array, but if you plant a locust tree, it is a ghost attracting array, the difference between the two is a millimeter, but the effect is the opposite.
"Go find two tools and dig open to see what's down there." An Xiaotian threw away the leaves in his hand and said.
I hurriedly found two hoes in the yard, these things are very common in the countryside, every household has them, and they are basically kept in the yard.
An Xiaotian asked me to start digging from the middle, I moved the stones to the side, and then dug up with a hoe.
But when I went down with my first hoe, I smelled a particularly strong smell of blood, and after digging a few more hoes, I found that the soil was a little thin and dark red, as if soaked in blood.
In the end, I dug a bloody pit filled with blood.
An Xiaotian stirred his burning stick in the blood pit, and the blood water immediately rolled up, like a red-hot soldering iron in the water, making a sizzling sound, and constantly emitting red mist.
After a while, the blood was evaporated, and what appeared at the bottom of the blood pit was a blood snake as thick as a thumb and covered in red, exactly the same as the one I had seen at the entrance of the village before, but this one was much smaller.
Hiss –
When the little blood snake saw us, it immediately stood up, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes and hissing and spitting letters.
"Fuck you!"
An Xiaotian didn't say a word, picked up the burning stick and smashed it on the head of the blood snake, and the poor blood snake was smashed with a bang, turning into a red mist and disappearing.
Why did you beat it to death, I asked?
An Xiaotian glared at me, "Don't always ask stupid questions, don't beat it to death, do you have to wait for it to grow up, if it grows to the size of the village entrance, I can't guarantee that there will be luck just now." ”
Then, An Xiaotian asked me to dig up all five locust trees, and it took me a lot of effort to dig up these five trees.
What appeared in front of me was five skulls, and it turned out that these five locust trees were actually planted in five human heads!
"Holy! His uncle's! ”
An Xiaotian scolded when he saw this scene, raised the burning stick in his hand and knocked the five skeletons to pieces, and then glared at me and said, "I said who are the people in your village, you dare to get this thing in your own house, and you don't even know how you died when the time comes!" ”
I told him about the old woman who lived for hundreds of years and the village chief, and said, "That old monster who has lived for hundreds of years originally wanted to kill the whole village. ”
An Xiaotian muttered, saying that the people in your village don't know what sins they have created in their previous lives, and that it is difficult for people who are killed by this formation to even be reincarnated.
I didn't bother to talk to him, as if it was all the same thing I did, and asked him what to do next.
He looked at the skull on the ground that he had smashed apart, "Go to the basement you said." ”
Pushing open the door of the village chief's house, it was also dilapidated, I opened the small door on the wall leading to the basement, and was about to go inside, but An Xiaotian stopped me and made a silent gesture towards me.
I didn't know what was going on, but suddenly I smelled a faint smell of burning paper money, and then a wisp of green smoke floated out of the basement, I was stunned, and instantly reacted: There is someone down here!
