Chapter 263: A Village Shrouded in Ghost Aura
The place where ghouls may appear is not far from here, and it is also in the countryside, called Sanshan Village.
After driving for two or three hours, the car finally arrived at its destination in the evening, and the sky was gray, as if there was an invisible layer of fog enveloping Sanshan Village.
There were many white-colored rune papers pasted at the entrance of the village, swaying wildly in the wind, frowning in shock, and whispering: "What a strong resentment, and the smell of corpses!" Even if there are no ghouls here, there must be other ghosts that are harming people. ”
Li Qiufan tore up a talisman, glanced at it and said: "The talisman to suppress evil spirits, it's a pity that the level is too low, and it can't suppress the resentment in the village at all, and it has long been gone. ”
As soon as the four of them entered Sanshan Village, the light suddenly dimmed, it was less than six o'clock, it stands to reason that it was not when it was dark, the fat man took out his mobile phone and looked at it and said: "The signal is gone, it was still full of signals just now, and it was too strange!" ”
Li Qiufan looked up at the sky and said: "The resentment in this village is so scary, even the light is blocked, and the mobile phone has no signal, if you live here for a long time, I am afraid that the people in this village will become ghosts or living corpses..."
"Is there some formation or something in this village that makes the resentment condense?" The fat man is no longer stunned, analyzed.
"There is such a possibility, otherwise it is impossible for such a heavy resentment to exist, and of course, the possibility that many people have recently died in vain here cannot be ruled out!" Li Qiufan looked around and found that the doors of every house were closed, there was no one on the road in the village, and several sick old dogs were lying on the ground listlessly, and they didn't make a sound when they saw the living.
A few people took out the magic weapon, raised their vigilance, and walked along the empty street, the fat man kept trying to call the helper, but unfortunately no matter where he went, the mobile phone still had no signal.
And the door of each family is densely pasted with all the same color of evil charms, judging by the color, there are new and old, and there are a few, obviously just pasted on, and the paste has not yet dried.
knocked on the doors of several houses in a row, but no one answered, and the ghost bell rang softly intermittently, which was particularly harsh in a deserted village.
After walking a little deeper, I finally heard a squirming cry at the door of a house, and the voice was very low, as if I was suppressing my emotions, and I didn't dare to cry out loud.
Li Qiufan walked to the door and lightly buckled it three times.
The crying stopped abruptly, and the people in the room seemed to be frightened, and there was no sound.
"Excuse me, anyone?" Li Qiufan asked.
Waited for a while, still no response.
"It's weird..."Li Qiufan knocked on the door a few more times, raised his voice, and lied: "We are the police, someone called the police to say that the corpse here was eaten by unknown things, and we came to investigate!" If there is anyone, can you open the door? We need to understand the situation. ”
Hearing this, there was finally movement in the room, and as the slight footsteps approached, the door was opened a crack, and the people inside were clearly visible, and a handful of red powder was sprinkled in front of them.
"Cinnabar?!" This red powder Li Qiufan is very familiar with, it is cinnabar, the mage exorcises evil spirits and makes talismans, and it is indispensable to suppress ghosts and demons.
Waving his hand to fan the cinnabar powder, Li Qiufan saw a teenage emaciated girl along the crack in the door.
A pair of big eyes full of fear, perhaps because of the crying just now, looked a little red and swollen.
"There's no smoke, are you really human?" The girl spoke timidly, her voice hoarse.
Li Qiufan said: "Of course we are human, is there anything that is not human knocking on your door?" ”
The girl hurriedly shook her head and said no.
Li Qiufan saw that she was lying, and didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Don't you invite us in?" ”
Children in the countryside are simple and kind by nature
Liang, although timid, but very hospitable, this is almost a virtue passed down from generation to generation in China, she hurriedly opened the door and said: "Come in!" ”
After entering, the girl stretched out her little head again, looked left and right, as if she was on guard against something, and when she was sure that there was nothing, she immediately closed the door and lowered the latch.
"What are you afraid of?" Stunned asked softly.
The girl's first reaction was that this sister was so beautiful, and she couldn't help but reply: "Man-eating monster..."
"What does a monster look like? Have you seen it? ”
The girl shook her head, tears rolling in her eyes, "No, everyone who saw it is dead..."
Li Qiufan said: "What about your family? ”
The girl burst into tears, and said with red eyes: "Mom and Dad are working in other places, and my grandfather was eaten by a monster yesterday!" ”
"What?!" The fat man exclaimed, "What the hell is going on? ”
The girl burst into tears, biting her fingers and saying: "I don't know, anyway, half a month ago, a monster suddenly came to the village, and began to run to our ancestral grave where to dig the corpse to eat, and then began to eat people, many people were eaten by it, Grandpa Liu gave each family a bag of cinnabar powder, saying that if you meet someone you don't know, you will sprinkle it on him, if there is smoke on that person, you must run for your life!" ”
Li Qiufan read the phone number of the help-seeker and asked the girl if she knew the owner of the mobile phone number.
"I know, this phone is Grandpa Liu's! He is also the head of our village! ”
"Where does he live?"
The girl said, "Go a little further, turn left and go into the second house." ”
Li Qiufan touched the girl's head, passed a trace of anger without leaving a trace, and said softly: "Can you take us there?" ”
Probably because of the anger, the girl's timidity faded a little, stopped crying, wiped away her tears and said: But Grandpa Liu said that as long as it gets dark, we are not allowed to go out, otherwise, we will be captured and eaten by monsters..."
"Don't worry! With us here, the monster doesn't dare to come, if it really comes, my brother will kill it and avenge your grandfather! ”
The girl looked at Li Qiufan's serious eyes, thought about it for a while, and nodded heavily: "Okay big brother, I'll take you there!" ”
However, as soon as the door was opened, the girl's thin body couldn't help but tremble, and the four of them immediately surrounded her in the middle and walked towards the village chief's house together.
There are not many people in this village, there are only dozens of families, and they live quite close, a few steps to the door of the village chief's house, and there have been no accidents along the way.
The girl knocked on the door, and an old hoarse voice came from the room, but with a thick vigilance, and shouted vigilantly: "Who! ”
The girl said, "Grandpa Liu, it's me, Shuang'er!" ”
"Frost? Ah! Didn't I tell you not to go out again as soon as it gets dark? You came to me, did something happen again? The door soon opened, it was an old man in his sixties, gray hair, and wrinkled face, and when he saw Li Qiufan and the four of them, he immediately took out a compass from his arms, and his cloudy eyes instantly became sharp.
"Who are you!?" As he spoke, he pulled Frost behind him and stretched the compass in front of him.
Li Qiufan handed over a business card and said, "Village Chief Liu doesn't have to be afraid, we are people, or you called us to ask us to come over." ”
Village Chief Liu was suspicious, the compass still did not put down, stared at Li Qiufan's eyes, took the business card and glanced at it, obviously relieved, put away the compass, and said excitedly: "Several masters, we have finally waited for you!" Come in! ”
Entering the house, Li Qiufan found that the table at the village chief's house was full of rune paper and pen and ink, and the talismans that had been drawn were stacked thickly, and there were many empty ones, which seemed to be being drawn.
"In the village
You drew all the evil charms? Li Qiufan casually picked up one and asked.
The village chief nodded, and said bitterly: "I'm just a Mr. Yin and Yang, choose an auspicious day for the newlyweds to get married, and handle the burial procedures for the dead, at most it can also relieve the evil qi, this talisman is already the only ability I can think of to suppress evil qi..."
Li Qiufan said: "The resentment in the village is surging, the effect of this talisman is already negligible, no matter how much painting there is, it will have no effect, without further ado, tell us what happened first, why there is such a strong resentment in the village!" Frost doesn't know much, and it's hard for us to judge. ”
Village Chief Liu washed his hands, poured a cup of tea for the four of them, and took out a bag of Hibiscus King from his arms, scattered around, squatted on the ground, rolled a dry cigarette by himself, lit it and smoked it and said: "The resentment is not dispersed, and the feng shui of our village has a great relationship, our village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so it is named Sanshan Village, there is only one road to lead to the outside of the village, according to feng shui, these three mountains, respectively, represent the white tiger, Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, only the lack of the green dragon." The four major divine beasts, only the green dragon is a righteous and awe-inspiring divine beast, if there is no Qinglong suppression, the other three, it is a divine beast, and a fierce beast, in the past, our village can be regarded as a smooth wind, but since the monster came, digging graves and eating corpses, and killing a lot of people, the three divine beasts because of the aggravation of resentment, suddenly from good to evil, turned into fierce beasts! ”
The fat man answered: "Surrounded by three fierce mountains, it is difficult for auspicious qi to enter, and it is naturally difficult to disperse resentment, so it will be so heavy in just half a month!" ”
Li Qiufan nodded, this is a relatively basic feng shui common sense, as soon as the village chief said this, he could explain why the resentment in the village was so heavy, and said to the fat man: "It's a little bit out of the way, keep it up!" Village chief, you go on to say, what's going on with this man-eating monster? ”
The village chief smacked his cigarette and spit out a choking cloud of dry smoke and said: "Don't hide it from the master, I don't know what kind of evil thing it is, it's obviously a ghost, but it's like a monster, anyone can see it, but there is no trace of demonic energy, digging graves to find corpses to eat, five people have died in our village this year, all of them have been dug out and eaten clean, and when the dead corpses are eaten, it is staring at the living again, and it must wait for people to die before it eats!" ”
Li Qiufan asked again: "Have you seen it before?" ”
"I've seen it! It looks like a wolf without skin and flesh, on all fours, with sharp fangs that are inches long, and scarlet eyes, and is very fast! ”
As soon as the village chief said this, Li Qiufan was already 100% sure in his heart, and he was sure that that thing was the ghoul who escaped from the underworld!
"Looks like a ghoul, in that case, we'll do it tonight, except for this scourge!"
When the village chief heard the word ghoul, he only felt chills all over his body: "Master, do you know that monster?" ”
Li Qiufan took a sip of dry tea and said, "We are here for it!" ”
"Great! I'm relieved when you say that! I really didn't find the wrong person! The village chief rubbed his hands and stood up and said, "What do you need me to do, you just command, when that monster is solved, how much compensation is needed, we will raise it together!" ”
Li Qiufan said: "Let's talk about the reward later, a yin ghost is not so easy to deal with, we have to make some preparations first!" In this case, you first go find a few brave people to come over, I will be useful, remember, only those who dare to go to the mass grave to sleep! ”
The village chief said: "No problem, there are a few young students in our village, who have long been impatient and want to dig a trap to deal with that thing!" But I've stopped me, is there anything else to do? ”
Li Qiufan drew a blood essence talisman with the village chief's talisman paper and pen and handed it to him: "It's gone, you just go find someone, and leave the rest to us!" You have this talisman with you, if the ghoul comes, bite the tip of your tongue and spurt blood to activate it, and it can protect you. ”
"Good! I'll go! The village chief carefully took the spirit talisman and brought it well, and his legs and feet were much sharper.
