I have realized at this moment that there is definitely something wrong with the village chief and the people he brought, and it is nothing else that is crawling on them, it is those maggots, just seeing Ah Cai start vomiting at the door again, has proved that my idea is absolutely not wrong.

"Young man, it seems that you have made a move, and then listen to me. Uncle Huang said.

I replied, "Listen to your." "I raised my sword and cut down all the village chief and the few people I had brought, and the broken corpses kept wriggling on the ground.

When I looked at the corpse again, a terrifying scene had already happened, the yard of Da Yuzi's mother was already crawling with corpse insects, and Da Yuzi's mother ran back to the house screaming, even Uncle Huang, who claimed to be a ghost catcher, was stupid.

"What is this?"

I laughed, "That's what we're going to catch, you'll have to listen to me down there." ”

Uncle Huang didn't say anything, and hurriedly retreated to the outside of the courtyard, and asked me in a trembling voice, "What do you think I should do?"

"It's very simple, you continue to catch ghosts according to your ideas, we will clean up these rotting corpses according to our methods, if I find children and ghosts in the village, come and call you, if you find rotting corpses, come and call me. Also, you can't go to the village chief's house because there is already a serious problem in his house. ”

Hearing this, Uncle Huang has already believed our statement.

At this point, we split up, Uncle Huang went door to door to look for the ghosts of the children, we first moved the corpses of the big leftovers' family out, dragged them to the woods by Wu Shu, and Ah Cai was responsible for burning the corpses, fortunately, those corpse insects were still more obedient, and they followed the corpses wherever they went.

I ran alone to the village chief's house, pushed the door open, and the disgusting smell wafted in, and only choked me back a few steps.

"Uncle, there are a few people in the village chief's family, such a big smell. ”

When I entered the village chief's room, I was stunned by the sight before me, no less than four or five Yellow Turban soldiers were playing with each other in the room, and the corpses of the village chief's wife were mercilessly eaten by the maggots.

But there was a small black shadow in the corner of the room, crouching there, looking very frightened, and before I could say a word, the sword flower flew up, and cut all the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army in the house, including the corpse of the village chief's wife, into pieces, and threw them into the courtyard.

Then I walked slowly to the corner of the room and saw that the shadow was a child.

"Who are you?"

"I'm ......," the child said intermittently, and it took a long time to speak, "I am the elder brother of the village chief." ”

I suddenly felt the difference: "The village chief's brother, the village chief's wife has become an old lady, you." Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of what Uncle Huang said just now, and I asked again, "You also have that strange disease?"

"Well, I don't want to be separated from them, this is my home, I want to live at home every day. ”

Listening to the child's words, I felt very uncomfortable, and I closed the door of the room without turning off the light.

Out of the courtyard of the village chief's house, I called out to Uncle Huang: "The village chief's house can come." ”

I dragged the pieces of the corpses out of the village in a hemp bag and handed them directly to Wushuacai.

When I returned to the village chief's house, Uncle Huang had already taken the child out and put it in the urn that belonged to his name.

I continued to look for the next family, fortunately I was very lucky, except for a few Yellow Turban soldiers in the village chief's house, no corpses were found, I carefully recalled, including the village chief and his wife, a total of nine corpses turned into rotting corpses.

Seeing the lights in the village being extinguished from house to house, it proves that the uncle's work is almost complete.

I gradually relaxed at this time, and not long after, Ah Cai and Wu Shu ran over.

"Little Yak, the corpses are all burned, there shouldn't be any big problems. ”

"Wait, let's see if Uncle Huang still has any work, I feel that the customs that have been handed down for decades cannot be broken so easily, but he lives in the ancestral hall, and I am really convinced, and I have lived for decades. I said.

Uncle Huang ran over from the village at this time, holding no less than dozens of urns and jars tied with ropes in his hands, and then put them all into his yard.

Overnight, he placed an incense burner in front of the urn, placed a large copper basin, and burned stacks of paper money.

"You're done with your life?"

"Well, there is one more thing to do after burning the paper, to light the everlasting lamp in my yard, so that these children will never go back to harm his family. Uncle Huang said.

Not long after, the paper in the copper basin was almost burned, and he didn't know what he pressed on the big tree in the courtyard, and from the middle of the courtyard slowly rose a thigh-thick stone pillar, which rose two feet high.

With his hand, he pulled out a bright bead from his bosom.

"Night Pearl?" Ah Cai's eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized it as a treasure.

"The little girl is very knowledgeable, this is a treasure left over from the previous dynasty, and he has used this to illuminate the ancestral hall for decades, blessing fewer people in the village to get that strange disease. Uncle Huang said.

But I don't think it's right, carefully count the urns and jars in the yard, there are no less than dozens, dozens of dead people for decades, and an average of one person gets this disease every year, and it is said that it is blessed by the ancestors?

Normally, after a person dies, he is to be reincarnated, and he left the soul of the child in the ancestral hall in this way, and he cannot be reincarnated, no wonder the people in the village can always feel that their children are looking for them.

The origin of this night pearl is very strange, and I can vaguely smell a faint strange smell from that pearl, which is very familiar.

"Uncle, where did your beads come from?"

"What ...... this," Uncle Huang said, "I bought it many years ago when I was out looking for treasures." ”

"Do you know where it came from?" I asked.

Uncle Huang shook his head and said, "I remember that it cost me a lot of money at that time, and I don't know anything else!"

"Really?" I said, "This kind of thing either comes from the palace or from the underground palace, ordinary people in the palace can't enter it at all, let alone take it out, then there is only one answer, it comes from the underground palace, right?"

When I said this, Uncle Huang's face was unnatural, and he nodded uncomfortably: "Yes, that's the case, I did get very close to that group of people at the beginning, and I also got a lot of things from them." ”

"That's right, did you die a lot at the time? and you should have fallen ill when you came back. I said.

Uncle Huang's face was full of differences: "How do you know?"

"I advise you to bury this pearl of the night, this thing should not exist in the world. ”

"Why?"

I explained: "From what I just observed, I smelled a strange smell from its body, if I guessed it correctly, it should be a kind of poison, which proves that the owner of the underground palace does not want anyone to take this thing away at all, and even if it is taken out, it will be a disaster for the world." ”

"Poisonous?"

"Yes, when you fell ill, normally you would have easily recovered, but that time made you not recover for a long time. I said.

Uncle Huang nodded frequently when I said this: "Yes, that's the case, what about these children in the village?"

"It's very simple, you don't need to give them any lights, let them reincarnate by themselves, after all, people have to be reincarnated after death, you have such a long lamp, their souls can't go, naturally they just go around in their own homes all day long. ”

After listening to my explanation, Uncle Huang seemed to suddenly realize, and his face was full of relief: "It seems that you are right, but the strange disease in the village?"

"Did the strange illness in the village start when you got the Night Pearl back?" I asked.

Uncle Huang thought about it and nodded guiltily: "If you say so, it's really like that." Then I'm not a sinner in the village, I!"

"Don't feel guilty, tomb robbing is not something anyone can do, but it's good that you stop as soon as possible. I said.

Ah Cai's face showed a little greedy joy, and he leaned in front of Uncle Huang and said, "Uncle, you see this, since you can't deal with this bead, I can do it for you, give it to me, and I'll help you destroy it." ”

I glared at Ah Cai fiercely: "How can you speak here?

"What's the matter, uncle can't handle it again, can I help him deal with it!"

"Don't think I don't know what you think, don't play that with me, and let the uncle handle the things himself. I said to Ah Cai angrily.

Ah Cai's face was full of atmosphere, and he glanced at me a few times and followed Wu Shu to study the mechanism under the big tree.

At this time, Uncle Huang seemed to have lost his soul, and the whole person became in a trance.

"In that case, we won't stay for long, you dispose of the Night Pearl as soon as possible, and we will have to continue to track down those rotting corpses. ”

Uncle Huang nodded and said, "I know, there is another thing, there was a rotting corpse in the grass house at the head of the village just now, and I didn't pour out to deal with him just now, but I saw that he didn't move at all, so I didn't rush to tell you." ”

"Hey, what's going on, the carrion can change at any time, you hurry up and deal with the Night Pearl, we'll rush over." "I pulled Wu Shu and Ah Cai and rushed out of the courtyard.

In the grass hut at the head of the village, some corpse maggots were found, and after setting fire to them, Ah adopted the method of beginning, found the footprints of the carrion, and rushed out along the footprints.

We didn't have to go far, but we saw a dozen figures running from a distance, and it didn't take long for them to stop, and the fire flashed in an instant.

When we got closer, we found that it was a fat man, and this time there were more than a dozen of them.

"You're so fast?" I asked.

The fat man said: "We are easy to deal with over there, and when we saw those rotting corpses, they basically didn't cause any hidden dangers to the people." ”

"Hey, I'm in trouble here, the carrion has already eaten a lot of people, but fortunately, everything we found has been burned, and that's all left. ”

"It's not going to burn it too, yes, but we have to go into the village and have a look, and we can't get any fish out of the net." ”

I nodded, and when I looked down, I felt something tickle on my arm, and when I touched it, it was sticky.

"Corpse maggots?" I felt my heart fluttering.
