The ditch of the dead is getting closer and closer, and the lanterns at the entrance of the village are getting brighter and brighter.

It wasn't until then that I realized that there were dozens of people standing under the lantern. They squatted or stood, motionless, like a statue.

Some of them wore white filial piety clothes, and the rest were all kinds of casual clothes.

Seeing Li Shengli and others coming with the coffin, they all stood up and separated from the left and right sides very tacitly.

An old man with a goatee said, "Coming back? ”

Li Shengli said in a low voice: "Village Chief, we are back. ”

The old man walked around the black coffin with his hands behind his back, then turned his head and said, "Welcome the deceased home." ”

Everyone looked solemn and said in unison: "Welcome home the deceased!" ”

As soon as Li Shengli waved his hand, he saw several men dressed in linen and filial piety rushing out of the crowd, taking the coffin with their hands and feet, and then walked quickly into the village surrounded by everyone.

The old man walked up to Li Shengli and said, "It's been hard all the way. Did the floating corpses of the River Styx give you any trouble? ”

Li Shengli grinned: "No! Those floating corpses were very honest, but when they passed by the Soul Gathering Stream, they heard that the water general was angry, so they delayed for a while. ”

The old man nodded and said, "It's good that you're not looking for trouble, who is this?" ”

He asked, looking at me.

Li Shengli said: "This is Brother Zhen Mingyin!" I saw him walking alone on the banks of the River Styx, and fearing that something would happen to him, invited the brother to stay in the village for a night. ”

"Village Chief, is it okay?"

The old man coughed and said, "Exorcist? ”

I nodded and replied respectfully, "Old man, I'm from the Soulless Bridge. ”

Probably hearing that I was from the Soulless Bridge, the old man looked up at me carefully, and then said lightly: "It's from the Demon Suppression Soldiers." ”

"Victory, you go and arrange accommodation for the guest, and besides, tell him about the taboos in the village."

Li Shengli was overjoyed and said, "Yes! Chief! ”

He turned to me again and said, "Brother Zhen! Don't mind, living on the banks of the River Styx is better than being on the mainland. ”

"It's better to have more taboos after all, as long as you don't break the rules, you can always live in peace and stability."

I understand that it seems to me that it is good to be able to live on the edge of the River Styx. You must know that the water of the River Styx is not a person who can rub sand in his eyes, and if he really wants to settle here, people will definitely not want to.

Li Shengli smiled and said, "Brother, you live next door to me tonight." It just so happened that the house was empty and no one lived in it. ”

He was very enthusiastic, and I was a little embarrassed, wondering if I was too careful.

Fortunately, Li Shengli didn't notice my expression, and walked quickly towards the village with me, and after turning two corners, he stopped at the door of a house.

The house was not locked, so Li Shengli pushed the door directly and entered.

After entering, I took out a match and lit a candle.

When the fire was lit, it almost startled me, because there was a black coffin in the middle of the room.

This reminds me of Li Fengqi, who cheated to death, in order to avoid ghosts and ghosts, he made a big coffin in his office and lived in it every day.

Could it be that Li Shengli also lives in a coffin?

Li Shengli saw that my face was different, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, every family in the dead man's ditch has a coffin, which is used in the town's house." ”

"Living on the edge of the River Styx has to be a bit taboo, isn't it? Without this coffin, we wouldn't be able to live here. ”

I laughed dryly and said, "The way this place is towned is quite peculiar. ”

Li Shengli said: "As long as it is a villager here, there must be a coffin in the house, which is one of the iron rules in the village." ”

I asked curiously, "If there is one, there will be two." And what about the rest? ”

Li Shengli said: "The second is, at night, never go near the River Styx!" will be dragged down by the floating corpses inside. ”

I disagreed, and said, "Although there are a lot of floating corpses, their skills are also average, and they are nothing." ”

Li Shengli smiled bitterly: "A large number is enough, how powerful do you want them to be?" Brother Zhen, if you live here in the future, don't provoke the floating corpse. ”

While telling me about the taboos of the Dead Man's Gully, he went out of bed to get the futon and handed it to me.

The bedding was damp and smelled musty. I have a sleeping bag in my backpack and I don't want to use his stuff.

But after all, it was a good intention, and I didn't refuse on the spot.

After preparing the futon, Li Shengli took me to the next room. Unexpectedly, there were no coffins in this room, and the main room was empty, except for two chairs facing north and south, side by side.

When I saw that the inside of the house was clean and free of any dust, I asked, "What about the owner of this room?" ”

Li Shengli pointed to the surging Styx and said, "I died inside, and it is said that I met the unsinkable corpse of Huangquan." ”

I gasped and said in a lost voice, "There are also unsinkable corpses in Huangquan here?" ”

This thing is a powerful thing on a par with the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon and the Extreme Yin Extreme Demon, and even Zhou Tianqi almost didn't fold it in the other party's hands when he encountered it.

But the Yellow Spring does not sink corpses, and it is said that it only appears in the underground Styx, and it seems that it should not appear in the outside world.

Li Shengli disagreed, and said: "No one can say how many evil things are hidden in the River Styx. The corpse, tsk, even the Styx water general hid far away. ”

He said happily, and suddenly heard a chaotic footsteps outside, and then someone said coldly: "I heard that someone came from the Soulless Bridge?" ”

"Humph! The Dead Man's Ditch doesn't welcome the demon suppressors over there! ”

I saw the lights flickering, but it was three or five burly men in combat uniforms who swarmed in. The leader put the lantern on the table, his eyes were cold, and said, "What's your name?" ”

Li Shengli said loudly: "Qi Rui! What are you doing! ”

Qi Rui ignored him, but sneered: "Zhen Mingyin? Even his real name has to be hidden, hiding his head and showing his tail, it's not a thing! ”

"And when Lao Tzu served in the Demon Suppression Army, I didn't see you guy! Boy, where the hell are you from! ”

I was secretly surprised, these men in combat uniforms used to be people who served in the demon suppression soldiers?

But it shouldn't be, they are young and strong, how could they break away from the demon suppression soldiers and come here to be a resident?

Li Shengli stopped in front of me and said angrily: "Qi Rui! You're enough! Have you forgotten the rules of the village? ”

Qi Rui smiled cruelly: "It's because of the rules in the village that you can't take him in!" ”

"Boy! I'll give you a chance, get out of the dead man's ditch right now! I promise you won't see the sun tomorrow! ”
