Chapter 377: Strange Night 2
"It's hit, it's hit!"
Liu Ling Tong is not a big deal to see the excitement, and claps his finger at those shadow puppet villains.
The village council is located in the center of the village, and from our vantage point, we can see half of the village, and the light of dark red lanterns cuts the whole village into a grid-like structure.
Therefore, as long as it is outside the courtyard, from our angle, we can see clearly, of course, if we want to see more clearly, we need to go to the roof.
The village committee building is the tallest building in the village.
And just as Liu Ling Boy said, those shadow puppet villains have already fought with the paper figures patrolling the streets.
Compared with the empty-handed paper men patrolling the streets, although these shadow puppet figures are less than one-third of the paper figures, they all hold weapons in their hands.
Whether it is a knife or a spear, the shadow puppet villains are like martial arts masters, and they knock down these paper figures almost in the moment they cover their faces.
After knocking down the paper figures, these shadow puppet figures either supported or lifted, all of them controlled the lanterns carried by these paper figures at the first time, ensuring that the lanterns did not fall to the ground and burned.
This one moved, which made me squint, and there was a cat in the lantern.
After securing the lanterns, the shadow puppet figures carefully hung the lanterns on the surrounding gates.
In the blink of an eye, there were several more families in the village with two lanterns hanging on them.
After hanging the lanterns, these shadow puppets fled into the surrounding courtyard and disappeared as soon as possible.
"Interesting, really interesting!" Liu Ling Tong pinched his chin, looked at it unsatisfactorily, and said: "Brother-in-law, let's go to the top of the building, this position, the field of vision is not wide, and I can't see it clearly enough!" ”
"Let's go!"
I barely hesitated, and nodded.
During the day on the third floor, we looked at the passage door to the top of the building, which was not locked.
When I came to the third floor, I took a special look at the door of the conference room, the lock on the door was intact, and Lu Xiaoyu did not move in it for the time being.
When I came to the top of the building, I could see the situation in the village more clearly.
The baby cat scurried around the village, occasionally turning back to attack the nearest paper patrolman it was chasing, but the force of the attack was very limited, it only made sure that the paper patrol man couldn't keep up with it.
"This baby cat is walking these paper figures!" Liu Ling Boy muttered.
"I can't walk long!" I pointed to the north road.
To the north of the village, it is next to Hutou Mountain.
Since the shadow puppeteers killed a group of paper figurines patrolling the streets, a column of paper figurines carrying lanterns walked out of Hutou Mountain and walked quickly towards the village like a fellow army fighting.
After such a while, there were already four teams of paper figures entering the village.
Unless the baby cat breaks into a house as a cover, if you continue to run on the village path, you will be caught by the paper man sooner or later.
That's what I wondered about, the baby cat was running back and forth on the village path, but it didn't run into the yard.
Either this baby cat is bold and walks these paper figures like a dog, or the baby cat does not dare to enter the yard.
"There are more and more paper figures!" Situ Qing frowned and said, "The situation is a little wrong! ”
I didn't need her to say it, I saw it too.
When we first came to the roof, we saw four teams of paper figures, and after a while, they had become eight teams of paper figures, and the number of paper figures was still increasing.
I estimated that there were at least a hundred.
It's not right.
Before, I was still wondering if these paper figures were made by a certain family or a Yin Sect force.
Now, it's unlikely.
These paper figures obviously came out of Hutou Mountain.
The most important thing is that no force has yet been able to engage in such a big battle.
As the number of paper figures continues to increase, the area where the baby cat can move is getting smaller and smaller, and it is gradually forced into a desperate situation.
"That's not right, brother-in-law, look at that cat baby, did you consciously lead these paper figures to that yard!" Liu Ling Tongzi pointed to the cat baby and said.
"Yes!"
I nodded, and without him saying it, I saw it too.
The baby cat did consciously lead these paper figures into a yard where only one lantern was hung.
"There is a tomb in the mountains!"
Situ Qing came to such a sentence at this time.
"Situ, what do you mean when you say there is a tomb in the mountain?" I'm a little blindsided.
"Do you know what I used to do?" Situ Qing didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
"I don't know!" I shook my head.
Until now, I don't know what Situ Qing used to do, I only know that she is the eldest lady of the Long family, and I know that she has a bad relationship with her father, so she also took her mother's surname.
"I used to be half a tomb robber!" Situ Qing said slowly.
"Huh?" I thought I heard it wrong.
I've thought about many possibilities, but I never thought it would be this one.
But when she said that, I figured out a lot of things.
When Situ Qing first came to me, she asked me to help her mend the wounds on her back.
I remember very well that the wound on her back was deep in the bones, which was not at all human, but like some kind of beast wound.
Later, Huang Feng told me that it was a mandrill injury, and I would have thought that Situ Qing was a mandrill who ran into the mountains to explore and met by chance.
Now that I think about it, she didn't go on an expedition at all, but went to rob tombs.
Also, Situ Qing dug the ancestral grave of the Long family that time and brought a vote of people over, and the voters dug the graves very professionally, I thought it was very strange at the time, but I didn't think much about it.
Now everything is on the right track.
"I don't belong to any genre, I'm just just adventurous, and once, I dug a big tomb, and that big tomb has a grave keeper!"
Situ Qing didn't care about my surprise, and continued to say in a flat tone.
"There were two batches of grave keepers that time, one was this kind of paper figurine, and the other was clay figurines!"
"That time, if it weren't for the relatively small number of paper figures guarding the tomb, we would almost not be able to get out!"
"So, do you think the paper man this time is also a tomb keeper?" I interrupted Situ Qing and asked.
"It's not that I think, but that I am!" Situ Qing nodded and said, "Judging by my experience, there must be a big tomb in Hutou Mountain!" ”
"The Great Tomb!"
I muttered to myself, and suddenly I felt like my mouth was suddenly open.
Jiang Ye told me that Huang Feng is not a dragon's lair, he is a dragon's lair.
If there is really a big tomb in Hutou Mountain, then everything can be right.
What is a large tomb?
At least the tombs of the prince and above can be called tombs.
In other words, there is a high probability that there is a princely tomb in Hutou Mountain.
In this case, it will be able to match.
Raise a dragon's nest, raise a dragon's nest, first of all, you have a dragon's nest to raise.
Ancient princes wanted to be buried in a feng shui treasure after death.
Therefore, their tombs, the location of the site, must be extraordinary.
And this kind of place, generally speaking, can meet the conditions for raising dragon's lair.
If that's the case, everything can be explained.
I now somewhat understand why Huang Feng needs so many things, and I also understand why his master started preparing a hundred years in advance to cultivate all kinds of Yin Corpses.
If nothing else, just look at these paper armies patrolling the streets, you can know a thing or two.
Without a more powerful town, these paper people can't be suppressed at all.
And the paper figure is likely to be only the weakest link.
The so-called ants bite the elephant to death, and the people in the yin gate who come to the old village have their own thoughts, and they want these people to unite together, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Therefore, in the face of the vast number of paper figures, these people in the yin door have no idea of uniting together, but instead harm each other.
This can be seen from the fact that the shadow puppet figures snatched the lanterns from the paper figures and hung them in front of some courtyard gates.
And the cat baby consciously led the paper figure to a certain area, probably also to trap people.
To put it bluntly, these people in the Yin Sect all think that they can be the final victors and want to reap the benefits.
And as more and more paper people entered the village, these paper people began to retaliate.
The method of revenge is simple, rush into the courtyard where the cat baby entered, and the courtyard where the lantern was hung by the shadow puppeteer.
As these paper figures rushed into these courtyards, the entire old village soon boiled.
A person in the Yin Sect, either with the mentality of self-preservation, or with the mind that I am not good, no one should think about it, began to attack the paper man indiscriminately, and threw the lantern of the paper man into some courtyards.
As the first paper lantern fell to the ground, more and more lanterns fell to the ground and turned into flames, and the village did not know when it began, and it was covered with a layer of fog.
The fog was thin and unnoticeable, but as the fog spread, a faint cry rang out.
"Boom!"
The moment the cry rang out, a dull sound rang out from the third floor.
"Lu Xiaoyu!"
Hearing that sound, several of our faces changed at the same time, and we exclaimed.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the sound on the third floor suddenly amplified, and faintly, I heard the muffled sound of the coffin lid falling to the ground.
"It's out!"
Hearing this muffled sound, I spat out three words.
Liu Ling Tongzi and Situ Qing glanced at each other, and no one mentioned going downstairs to deal with Lu Xiaoyu, but stared at the door on the roof.
"Bang!"
Soon, another voice came to mind on the third floor, and the door of the conference room was opened.
Situ Qing still had no intention of going down, and neither did Liu Lingtong.
They don't move, and I don't move.
In this waiting, the paper figures in the village, the casualties became more and more miserable, and the lanterns fell to the ground, and then burned, and the fog spread.
I noticed that after these people in the Yin Gate killed the paper figures, they all returned as soon as possible and rushed back to the courtyard where they were.
Judging by their reactions, it's not the first time they've done this kind of thing.
And with the elimination of the paper man, the door downstairs rang, and Lu Xiaoyu did not go upstairs, but went downstairs.
After coming out of the building, Lu Xiaoyu walked straight out, judging from her steps, she should not have recovered her senses, her steps were relatively stiff, and she looked a bit like she was sleepwalking.
"Brother-in-law, what should I do?"
Liu Ling Tongzi glanced at Lu Xiaoyu and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know!"
I'll tell you the truth, these three words mean that I don't want to carry this pot.
Lu Xiaoyu came out of the coffin, not because of me, but because there was an accident in the village.
In this case, I don't want to be hard steel with Lu Xiaoyu.
If nothing else, just look at the injuries on her body to know what happened to her before she died!
In this case, how heavy her grievances are, it can be imagined that with my current skills, it is completely insufficient.
The most important thing is that I don't understand the situation in the village.
There are at least more than 150 paper figures who have entered the village before and after.
So many paper figures, in less than five minutes, were all killed.
It's a weak chicken!
After the paper figures were killed, the fog began to fill, and Lu Xiaoyu also woke up.
I suspect that this was done on purpose, in order to wake up Lu Xiaoyu.
Also, as the fog drifted over, I realized that it wasn't fog at all, but a puff of smoke.
It is the smoke emitted by the burning of the lantern, perhaps the material from which the lantern is made is relatively special, and these smoke does not quickly drift outward, but fills the entire village.
The most important thing is that as the smoke spreads, a series of tragic cries sound in the smoke.
This kind of cry is not the ghost cry of the dead, but the tragic cry of the living when they are hurt, and faintly, a girl's cry for mercy can be heard.
And Lu Xiaoyu's abnormal change started when the cry sounded.
I seriously suspect that this cry was made by the former Lu Xiaoyu.
But everything is just suspicion, a lot of things, I can't figure it out right now.
"It's out!"
The Liu Ling boy spoke again, and pointed to the door with his little finger.
At the gate of the village committee compound, Lu Xiaoyu stretched out his hand a little stiffly, pulled the door bolt open, pushed open the gate, and walked out of the courtyard.
After being discharged from the hospital, she paused at the door, as if thinking about something!
Three seconds later, she walked slowly, towards the north side.
"What is she going to do?" Liu Ling asked in a low voice.
"I don't know!"
I shook my head.
As Lu Xiaoyu walked out of the village committee compound, the fog in the village had dispersed a lot, and the cries and begging for mercy were much quieter.
"She seems to be heading to the yard where the two lanterns are hung!" The Liu Ling boy spoke again.
"Hmm!"
I nodded, and without him saying it, I saw it too.
Lu Xiaoyu walked very slowly, but judging from the direction of her face, she was walking towards the house with two lanterns hanging diagonally opposite the village committee compound.
Since the distance was not far, the road rained and quickly walked to the front of the house.
She stood in front of the door and paused for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the door.
A knock on the door echoed in the night, but there was no response from inside.
Lu Xiaoyu knocked three times again, and after waiting for a while, there was still no response.
Bang!
The next moment, Lu Xiaoyu stepped directly, she kicked open the door and walked in.
At this time, there was still no response in the courtyard, and the fog in the village had thinned again and was almost gone.
"Brother-in-law, what do you think she's doing here?"
Liu Ling asked.
"I don't know!"
Ever since the light rain came out, he has been chattering, and his mouth has not stopped.
One thing is certain, though, that I was wrong in my previous judgment.
I thought that the courtyard with two red lanterns hanging on the door was to guide these paper figures.
But now it seems that this guess is most likely wrong, these lanterns are not guiding the paper figures, but guiding Lu Xiaoyu.
After Lu Xiaoyu entered the yard, due to the light, the figure quickly disappeared from our sight, and we could only speculate on where she was through the sound of Lu Xiaoyu kicking the door.
"It's in, it's in!" The Liu Ling boy began to chatter again.
I ignored him, it was pitch black, we couldn't see anything, we didn't even know if there was anyone in the house.
"Ahh
About a minute after Lu Xiaoyu entered the room, a piercing scream came from inside, the scream was sharp, and it was a woman's voice when I heard it.
"Ahh
Soon, a second cry sounded, and faintly, a cry for mercy could be heard.
This cry for mercy is completely different from the cry for mercy in the fog just now.
In the night, the screams faded into silence and finally disappeared completely.
I glanced at the time, and the screams from the yard rang for five minutes.
In these five minutes, none of the people in the village came out, and the cat babies and shadow puppets who appeared before did not appear, as if they had disappeared.
"It's out!"
With the chatter of Liu Lingtong, Lu Xiaoyu's voice and shadow reappeared in our sight, and she walked out of the room.
Her steps were the same as before, unhurried and with a hint of stiffness.
When she came out, she did not go back the way she came, but walked to the end of the street, to another courtyard with two red lanterns.
"It's over, that's over!"
In the chatter of Liu Ling Tongzi, Lu Xiaoyu came to the courtyard of the family.
As before, after knocking on the door twice in a row and there was no response, Lu Xiaoyu kicked open the door and walked in.
Three minutes later, the screams rang out, but this time the screams came from the man.
Unlike just now, this time the screaming stopped abruptly after less than two minutes.
After the screams disappeared, Lu Xiaoyu walked out of the yard, and this time, she didn't go far, but reversed along with the original.
Soon, Lu Xiaoyu returned to the village committee compound.
After entering the courtyard, Lu Xiaoyu plugged in the door bolt and walked back slowly, like a woman returning at night.
I stood on the top of the building, looking thoughtfully at Lu Xiaoyu's face, there was no abnormal look on her face, just like what I saw during the day.
Slowly walking to the front and back of the building, Lu Xiaoyu paused, not knowing what he was thinking.
Five seconds later, Lu Xiaoyu stepped forward again and entered the building.
None of us spoke, but remained quiet and listened quietly.
Soon, footsteps rang out, then the creak of the door closing, and finally the muffled sound on the lid of the coffin.
Lu Xiaoyu actually returned to the coffin.
"Brother-in-law, this is a fucking weird!"
Liu Ling Tongzi opened the conversation box again, and muttered while looking out.
I don't need to say it, I think it's weird.
What happened tonight was strange everywhere.
First the cat baby, then the paper man, then the shadow puppet man, everything seems to be to lure Lu Xiaoyu out of the coffin.
There are also those people in the underworld, who appear as if they are just to slaughter paper people.
I can't figure it out, why are they doing this?
