Chapter Seven: The Strange Village in the Mountains (Part II)
The old man stabilized his emotions, and began to say slowly with a hint of complexity in his eyes: "Our village, called Qingshan Village, has been here since I was a child, and we have always had a tradition in Qingshan Village, that is, every year at this time, we must worship our ancestors, and there is an altar to worship ancestors on the mountainside of the village, and the annual sacrifice is the same, three pigs, two sheep, and a jar of rice wine. Originally, every year it has been safe and sound, but who knows that this year, the village chief suddenly said that this year there is a sacrifice to a girl, of course we disagreed, so we started to quarrel with the village chief, but the village chief said that he didn't want to, he was also forced, and finally under our questioning, he finally told the truth, he said, 'On the east side of a few hills near here, the village was earlier than us, so they didn't sacrifice, and as a result, all the people in a village disappeared, so I was also for the village!' However, although he said this, we still didn't believe it, so we sent Ah Zhuang from the village to go around the next few villages, and finally, Ah Zhuang came back with an ugly face, saying that there was indeed no one in the village, and there were still blood stains in the village. He also said that he had also been to other villages, and that he had found out that the remaining two villages had actually tied up the village girls to the altar. Speaking of this, the old man was a little flustered and frightened, and his mouth kept panting.
Jiang Hua hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, aren't we here to help you." ”
The old man's panicked and frightened expression eased slightly, and then said: "Ah Zhuang doesn't believe in evil, so he went out of the village overnight to find someone, and a month has passed, seeing that the last day is getting closer and closer, the people in the village are getting more and more panicked, and they think that Ah Zhuang is running away." In the end, they decided to sacrifice the girl of Lao Zhang's hometown, of course Zhang Lao disagreed, the village began to make trouble, and finally I don't know who actually poisoned Zhang Lao, the next day, they went to Zhang's hometown with a large group of people, planning to carry his daughter up the mountain, ready to sacrifice, but who knew that at this time Ah Zhuang came back, and brought a Taoist priest outside, seeing the people in the village like this, Ah Zhuang was very angry, because he had been very close to Zhang Lao's daughter since he was a child, it can be said that he was a childhood sweetheart, he scolded that group of people a bloody head, but people can't be resurrected after death, he can only give up。 In order to comfort the people in the village, he asked the Taoist priest to show his hands in the village, and the Taoist priest easily lifted the hundreds of pounds of mills in the village, but the villagers still didn't believe it, saying that he had more strength, but the Taoist priest's hands actually burst out of thin air, and the villagers saw this and believed that the Taoist priest was really capable. The next day, the people in the village took out a lot of valuable things from home and sent them to the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest promised to help the village. He went up the mountain, but who knows, the next morning, the people in the village found that there was a person lying at the head of the village, it was the Taoist priest, didn't you see it, the Taoist priest didn't have a piece of good meat on his body, the village was in chaos all of a sudden, even Da Zhuang panicked, and finally he agreed to tie up Zhang Lao's daughter to worship the ancestors. The old man said with some anger here.
This time, without waiting for Jiang Hua to comfort him, he continued: "They still tied up Zhang Lao's daughter, and brought the annual sacrifices, and when the ancestors were sacrificed, they went back to the village and said that it was okay." The village originally thought that this matter would be over here, but I never expected that three days later, that is, the day after the last day of worshipping the ancestors, Zhang Lao's daughter ran back, but, she... She actually said, "The fear in the old man's eyes was about to turn into substance."
Jiang Hua hurriedly stretched out his hand and gently patted the old man's back. The old man then continued: "She has become a ghost, she has no good meat except for her face, her body is the same as that old Taoist priest, she began to kill people from house to house in the village, and I finally fled to the cellar, and I fell down, and I escaped." But before falling into the well, I seemed to faintly hear two people arguing outside, one is the ghost daughter of the Zhang family, the other is Ah Zhuang, the daughter of the Zhang family said: 'Zhuang, you are so ruthless', Ah Zhuang said: 'Xiaoling, you listen to my explanation, I don't want to, but there are dozens of people in the village, old and young, I can't help it.'" The daughter of the Zhang family said, "Then do you know that eleven of them raped me on the mountain?" You are so ruthless, I hate me so much', after saying this, Ah Zhuang was silent, as if he had been killed and dragged away. At this the old man began to weep bitterly.
After Jiang Hua listened, his face was incredulous, and he silently turned his head to Xiaolong, Xiaolong must know something.
The little dragon on the side showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he muttered to himself: "It seems that it is the charm of 魑 (chi) charm (mei) 魍 (wang) 魉 (liang)That's right." Then, he hurriedly asked the old man, "How many villages are there in your vicinity?"
The old man stopped crying and said with some confusion: "Plus our village, there are four in total." Xiaolong's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he asked: "What is the surname of your village chief, what about the village chiefs of other villages", the old man replied very dryly: "The village chief of our village is surnamed Liang, and the surname of the next village is Wang, as for the other two villages, it seems to be Yu and Li." What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Xiaolong did not answer the old man but slowly explained: "The charm of the ghost is four little ghosts, these four little ghosts represent four surnames, and their strength is basically the same, among which the ghost represents the Yu family, the charm represents the Li family, and the spirit represents the two surnames of Wang and Liang respectively, because according to the legend, the god of death is in misery because of the destruction of the living in this world, and there are wars between the living and the dead every day, and there are too many dead people every day, so he is a little upset, so he constructs a world in the universe, which is called the eighteen layers of hell." After the creation of hell, the god of death captured all the evil spirits of Tianwu into it, leaving a hellhound to guard the prison door, and the four little ghosts of this ghost, because their strength was too weak, the hellhound did not recognize that they belonged to hell, so they let them guard the entrance of the ghost world in the eighteen realms of hell, and they have been wandering on the edge of the ghost world and Tianwu. After a long time, the Tianwu people called those ghosts who were still wandering in Tianwu collectively called the ghosts and ghosts, but I didn't expect that today we would meet the big heads, if they were to captivate ordinary people with other surnames, I might not be able to find out, but they used their own surnames, I guessed it. ”
Jiang Hua was very surprised: "There is still such a thing, then what should we do, get rid of those four little ghosts?"
Xiaolong said angrily: "Although my dragon clan is born to restrain those demons, even if these four little ghosts are very weak, they are not something we can deal with now." ”
"Then what should we do, just leave like this?" Jiang Hua said without giving up.
Xiaolong said helplessly: "I can only go, before leaving, go to a few nearby villages to have a look, and if there are still the living, take them out." I guess there is no one left, and the people in these villages are obviously intentionally raised in captivity, and when the harvest season comes, of course they will all be harvested. ”
The group climbed out of the well, and walked towards the outside of the village, Jiang Hua sighed all the way, there is still such a thing happening, it seems that in this world, human life is not so valuable.
Then they went to the nearby villages, and the result was the same, there was not a single person alive. In fact, if it weren't for Xiaolong's presence, he had a natural deterrent to those four little ghosts, he estimated that he would also suffer, and Jiang Hua was very glad about this.
Everyone had no choice but to leave this mountain area, the old man rode Xiaoqing, the little dragon was still coiled on top of Xiaoqing's head, Jiang Hua also put on the weight-bearing equipment used for forging, and began to march towards the mountains and forests...----End of this chapter--Author: Pen listening
