On the surface, it looks like a funeral procession.

Relatives wore linen and filial piety, holding mourning sticks, and hugged a coffin ready to be buried. But I haven't heard of anyone choosing to hold a funeral at night.

Night burial, night burial, only when the deceased cheats the corpse, or the ghost presses the coffin and cannot be lifted up, the night burial is chosen.

And even if it is buried, there will definitely be hidden dangers in the future.

I was suspicious, but I turned off the flashlight. There is no dazzling pillar of light, and the opposite side is much more stable.

Then a black shadow broke away from the group and walked quickly, stopping when I was still a dozen meters away.

He put the lantern on the ground, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "My friend is an exorcist from the Soulless Bridge?" My name is Li Shengli! It's the villagers of the Dead Man's Ditch! ”

I secretly wondered, where did a dead man's ditch come out of here? Whether it's the information of the black-hearted fairy or the bridge keeper, it seems that there is no such place.

But looking at their demeanor, they are polite, not like barbaric and unreasonable guys.

I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Dead man's ditch, where is that?" ”

Li Shengli breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's the first time my friend has come here, right?" Don't look at the name of the village to bluff people, but it is the name chosen by the ancestors, and it cannot be changed at will. ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the black wasteland, and said, "About seven or eight kilometers further on, there is a small ravine that has sunken in, and our village is over there. ”

I was even more strange in my heart, before leaving, the bridge keeper said that this place is inaccessible, the transportation is inconvenient, and there are basically no people living there.

In the middle of the night, a group of villagers who claimed to be dead man's ditch suddenly appeared, and everyone would have to mumble a few words.

Seeing my hesitation, Li Shengli smiled and said, "Friend, are you lost?" The river is not very peaceful, and the floating corpses of the River Styx always like to climb ashore at night and attack the living. ”

"If you don't dislike it, you can stay in our village for one night, and wait until dawn."

"You don't have to worry, there are also many exorcists in our village, if you don't have some skills, you won't dare to settle here."

Suddenly, I reached out and pointed to the coffin they were lifting, and said, "What is this?" ”

Li Shengli said with a smile: "It's the elders who died outside, we people in Middle-earth pay attention to entering the earth for peace, even if they die, they have to be buried in the village." ”

I saw that under the lantern, the villagers who wore linen and filial piety were men and women, old and young, and I couldn't help but put a little snack.

These are living people, and there is no evil qi and yin qi on them. I'm still very confident in my vision about this.

If an exorcist can't even tell the difference between the living and the dead, then what's the point?

Perhaps in this wasteland where birds don't poop, there really is a village called Dead Man's Ditch. It's just that the place is too secretive, or the village is full of exorcists, so it is not known.

Stranded on the banks of the River Styx, the danger is too great, it is better to try your luck in the ditch of the dead.

But when I was about to make a decision, I asked the ghost: "Dare to ask the eldest brother, do you know what the ghost tomb is?" ”

Li Shengli was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Ghost tomb? I've lived here for more than 20 years, and I've never heard of such a place. ”

"But there are elders in our village, maybe they know."

Well, if you don't know, you don't know.

At that moment, I arched my hand to him and said, "Then it will bother the big brother." ”

Li Shengli grinned at me, then waved behind him before the villagers carrying the coffins continued on.

I saw a burst of footsteps and a flickering fire, and soon chased after him.

I said quietly: "Brother Lao leads the way, I'll just follow behind, if you need help, just call me." ”

Li Shengli didn't care, and after agreeing, he continued to move forward with the lantern. I squinted at the coffin, and saw that it was very new, and there was a strong smell of paint on it.

The coffin was painted black, and it rested on the shoulders of the four men, almost blending into the darkness.

Mai Bai Xiao, the black coffin on the shoulder, really made me feel a chill in my back.

After everyone walked over, I quietly dropped a signal adapter on the rock, and then quickly followed.

Walking all the way, none of the villagers in Dead Man's Ditch spoke, and they didn't even look back at me.

I was not in a hurry, I always kept a distance of more than ten meters from the other party, and as I walked, I took out a flashlight and swept around, secretly remembering some topography.

Fortunately, the current of the River Styx has been flowing on the left side, and I don't worry about getting lost.

About an hour or so, suddenly Li Shengli, who was walking in the front, turned a corner, and a light suddenly appeared in front of him.

There really is a village in front of it!

From a visual point of view, the scale of the village is not small, at least two or three hundred households.

Because there is no electricity, most of the lighting in the village is firelight, and the red patch comes into view, giving people a very peaceful feeling.

Under the illumination of the light, I also saw the reflection of a row of fires, and it was obvious that the village of Dead Man's Ditch was built along the river, and it is estimated that the domestic water was obtained from this river.

I don't know what's going on, I just feel a chill down my spine and always have a creepy feeling.

With such a big village and two or three hundred households, there is no reason why the bridge keepers should not know! Take 10,000 steps back, even if there is really a group of exorcists or living people living here, Thunder Water will agree?

I took out the communicator and wanted to contact the Qinghai town guard to confirm whether there was a place in the Dead Man's Ditch.

But I don't know what's going on, the communicator seems to be greatly disturbed, only the stinging and stabbing noise, and it can't convey any news at all.

When I was busy with my work, Li Shengli, who was walking in the front, suddenly turned his head and grinned at me: "Little brother, we have arrived." ”

"By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet?"

My heart flashed and I said, "My name is Zhen Mingyin." ”

Zhen Mingyin, real name Yin. I'm not a fledgling layman anymore, your village is so weird, how dare I tell my real name?

Li Shengli didn't care, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen, the conditions in the village are poor, don't dislike it." ”

"By the way, if you want to ask about the ghost tomb, I'll find the village chief for you, his old man was also an exorcist in his early years, and later settled in the dead man's ditch."

"He's the most educated person we have here."

I saw Li Shengli's strange smile and wanted to retreat. But thinking of the dense floating corpses in the River Styx, this idea was immediately dispelled.

Dead man's ditch, dead man's ditch, you have to go in and see what the hell is going on.

Besides, if there is a real problem, it will be too late for me to leave, whether I am dead or alive, I have to fight hard.
