Chapter 106: Gunshots at the Execution Ground
I saw that Yang Chongning actually closed his eyes at this time, not only did he not mean to make a move, but he also looked indifferent.
"What kind of fame does Lao Yang have, he doesn't need to protect his body and get bitten." Wang Weijun was very puzzled.
My heart also rose to my throat, and I didn't know what he was going to do, just when the evil ghost was about to bite him, the old ghost's expression became solemn, and with a wave of his hand, the evil ghost suddenly turned into black smoke and disappeared and floated back into the grave.
Yang Chongning opened his eyes at this time, and said with a sly smile: "Back then, you always wanted to replace me as the head of the Seven Swords, and you lost to me many times in the competition with me, but this time you finally won." ”
"When did you become so despicable, you actually took the initiative to give up, it's so boring to win like this, the old demon Yang who took winning and losing so seriously seems to be really dead." The old ghost said solemnly.
The old ghost is not wrong about this, Yang Chongning often reveals his disdain for Luo Sanshui, thinking that he is better than him, which is a manifestation of his importance on winning and losing, but he doesn't really have the heart to compete with Luo Sanshui, but he is just quick to speak.
"Since you won, there's no way, Xuanyang, Wang Hejun, we're leaving." Yang Chongning called us.
After we came out, we followed Yang Chongning out of the woods, and Wang Weijun whispered: "Old Yang, you deliberately don't resist and admit defeat, he is more poisonous than really winning, people want to be faced, and you despise others by doing this." ”
"To deal with this old ghost, you have to want to catch him, so that he can't figure it out, and he feels uncomfortable like a cat scratching now." Yang Chongning whispered.
"You're so bad, haha." Wang Weijun squeezed his eyes and said.
I looked at the old ghost behind me, he was still standing in place and staring at Yang Chongning, with an unhappy look, and sure enough, after a while, he shouted: "Stop me!" ”
Yang Chongning didn't bother to walk forward, the old ghost flew to us in anger and stepped on the trunk of the tree, blocking the way, I thought he was going to make a move again, and instinctively took a few steps back.
The old ghost gritted his teeth and said: "Maybe you're right, only facing it is the best solution, but I have a question, how can I be completely calm, after the last war, the underworld has made a comeback after many years, when is this a head?" As long as I can completely restore a peaceful life, I promise you to go out of the mountain! ”
The old ghost's question is really difficult to answer, just like a person who commits homicide, and the punishment of the law is to sit in prison and be shot, how can he get rid of the crime?
"Actually, we haven't really let go." Yang Chongning took out the scroll and put it in his hand.
The old ghost looked at the scroll and was silent for a long time, and seemed to understand a little, and said, "You mean that the thing has to be returned?" ”
"I also came to return this magic weapon when I returned to China this time, but I will return it only after I finish my work first, and make a gesture in order to truly get the understanding of the zodiac, and our identity can be completely whitewashed, and I will not hesitate to return this life if necessary!" Yang Chongning said.
The old ghost looked at Yang Chongning with a shocked expression, and even I looked at Yang Chongning in surprise, it turned out that he still had such plans to return to China this time.
The old ghost's expression gradually calmed down, and he should have nothing to say at all, so he turned his back to us and said, "I know where the other five people are hiding, as for what you want me to do, deal with the underworld or what, I will go to the teahouse tomorrow to say, I will also stay in the teahouse for the time being to continue to work, and act if necessary." ”
After saying this, the old ghost went down the mountain, and soon disappeared into the night.
Yang Chongning showed a smug smile and said, "If you get the old ghost, the others will be able to do it." ”
Yang Chongning saw that it was getting late, so he motioned for us to find some firewood and spend the night directly in the woods, Wang Weijun was a little reluctant to spend the night here, there were so many graves around, which made people feel panicked, but Yang Chongning decided that there was no way.
As we looked for firewood in the woods, Wang Weijun muttered, "It's a bit unusual to have so many graves here." ”
I also felt a little wrong when I heard him say this, these graves don't even have tombstones, not to mention how simple they are, and the old ghosts just now are all the evil ghosts in these graves, which means that these people all died unexpectedly.
I walked through the mountains and forests and counted them, and there were forty or fifty desolate graves, all of them the same, nothing, except for a faded paper pressed on the top of the grave telling us that it was a grave.
This is too unusual, and when we returned to the station after picking up firewood, we told Yang Chongning about the situation, Yang Chongning thought about it and said: "This is not far from Shilipo Village, this mountain should belong to the village, since you are so interested in this matter, go to the village tomorrow morning to inquire, maybe I can take over the business, I will go to the teahouse tomorrow to talk to the old ghost about things, so I will not interfere in this matter, no matter how dangerous it is, you can solve it yourself, it can be regarded as experience." ”
"I knew I didn't talk too much and asked, alas." As he spoke, Wang Weijun spread the leaves on the ground, sighed and lay down to sleep.
As the night deepened, Yang Chongning and I meditated cross-legged and entered a state of rest.
Early the next morning, we went our separate ways, Yang Chongning went back to the county seat to find the old ghost, and Wang Weijun and I went into the village to inquire about the desolate graves on the mountain.
There was a group of old men gathered under a big tree at the entrance of the village, some were playing chess, some were chatting, we went to inquire, but many people looked at us and didn't want to say more, so I asked Wang Weijun to buy a pack of good cigarettes and gave them a circle, and then an old man was willing to tell us.
The old man said that a few decades ago, the top of the Shilipo Mountain was the execution ground for execution, at that time it was in a turbulent era, many people were pulled here to be shot because they committed a little thing, there were many people who died in vain, some of the bodies that were not claimed by their families were buried on the hill casually, and even the tombstones were not allowed.
The old man said that in the past, they were all brought in by liberation trucks, and that there was only one car five miles away from the mountain, and that the prisoners had signs on them indicating the crimes they had committed, and some of the crimes now seemed very ridiculous, and there were endless accusations of various crimes.
I asked how many people had died, and the old man said that he had lost count of the number of people who had been shot, and that the village could hear distant gunfire from the top of the hill every day.
Wang Weijun saw that the old man's cigarette was almost finished, so he hurriedly helped him renew it, and asked Since so many people had died there, the yin qi must be very heavy, didn't something special happen in Shilipo Village so close to there?
The old man smiled bitterly and said, yes, how could there be no strange things happening!
Although everyone knows that the mountain is a place of execution, and there are few people who usually go, there are always some people who do not believe in evil, and there have been no fewer dead people in the village in the past few decades.
The old man also said that a young man had died just two days ago, and that he had not even finished the funeral, and he pointed us in the direction as he spoke.
We looked over there, and sure enough, there were wreaths in the shed.
I asked how the young man died, the old man said mysteriously, the family is hiding from the villagers, only said that the son was sick and died, and invited the Taoist priest to do the thing, the old man said that he saw more Taoist practices, is it excessive or the magic of exorcising evil spirits at a glance, the Taoist priest invited by the family is clearly doing the magic of exorcising evil spirits, the old man later inquired, only to know that the young man was shot, tortured to death by a gunshot wound, the old man said that it is not easy to get a shot in this peaceful and prosperous world, and how can he be tortured to death by a gunshot wound for hospital treatment? Very unusual.
Wang Weijun and I were immediately curious, and the old man went on to say that according to the master in the village who was in charge of changing the dead people's life clothes and burial them, the young man had no gunshot wounds on his body at all, so he suspected that the young man had gone to the execution ground to be evil.
I think about it, there is really such a possibility, there were gunshots from the execution ground every day, the gunshots were the life talismans, those evil ghosts were afraid when they heard these gunshots, if the young man really went to the execution ground, it was indeed possible that he was contaminated with yin and evil energy, resulting in the hallucination of being shot and tortured to death.
The rise that the old man said also pointed out to us the specific location of the execution ground that year, and we saw that it was a place not far from Yang Chongning's fight with the old ghost last night, and it was a few hundred meters away.
