Heluojiang South Road, in the mountains and forests outside Qixian County.

Li Jiuan held an ancient book in his hand and maintained a posture of stepping forward.

He was surrounded by a sea of forests, lush green, and the morning sun shone on his chest through the branches.

It's a really nice environment, so good that it doesn't look like a human being.

Li Jiuan complained, and couldn't help sighing.

"How can you buy a book and travel over, you have to talk about the Fa this year, right?"

Li Jiuan likes to read books, and it is best to tell stories about gods and ghosts.

The owner of the second-hand bookstore I often went to yesterday told him that he found an ancient book called "Gods, Ghosts and Demons", according to the boss, it recorded all kinds of demons, monsters, gods and strange stories, which was very exciting.

As a result, after paying the money and getting the book, as soon as he turned around, the world changed.

Before turning around, I was still in an antique bookstore, but after turning around, I was in the mountains and forests that covered the sky and the sun.

Li Jiuan grabbed the ancient book in his hand and swore that if he could go back, he would definitely slap the book on the boss's face.

Suddenly, the ancient book in his hand seemed to sense what he was thinking, and he was a little dissatisfied, and let out a tremble, breaking free from Li Jiu'an's grasp, floating in the air and automatically turning a page.

Trails of black ink emerge from the blank yellow paper.

Time: June 20, 10th year of Yongping.

Location: Heluojiang South Road, Danyang County, Qi County.

At the end of the dynasty, the people were not able to make a living, the world was in chaos, anti-thieves, and demons were everywhere.

There are dog demons in Diancang Mountain who turn into bandits and gather people to be cowards.

Murder, robbers, slaughtering villages, eating meat, for the sake of the disaster.

The government is incompetent and cannot be suppressed.

This mission requires:

Destroy the Demons.

(Note: Completing the quest will enable the settlement return)

What is this?

Send yourself a task?

Do you have to complete the task to go back?

Li Jiu'an was still thinking about this, when suddenly a roar of a fierce beast came, interrupting his train of thought.

Forget it, Li Jiuan stretched out his hand to put away the ancient book and put it in his arms, thinking that it was better to find the people first, and then think about the safety of this task.

Otherwise, with his shallow knowledge of survival in the wild, I am afraid that he will not survive for a few days.

Fortunately, the trail in the forest is still faintly visible, and you won't get lost if you follow the trail.

After walking for nearly an hour, I finally saw a village at the edge of the forest.

The village is not large, with a radius of no more than 100 meters.

Perhaps it was the morning fog in the mountains, and the whole village was shrouded in mist, which had a psychedelic feel.

Li Jiuan stood in front of the village and looked carefully.

The moss on the fence wall was mottled, and when you looked through the cracks, there were no people or the sound of chickens and dogs, and the whole village was filled with a sense of dead silence, which was in stark contrast to the insects and birds in the mountains and forests.

Li Jiuan hesitated for a moment, touched his rumbling belly, and couldn't care much.

Step forward and push open the wooden door.

"Sting."

The doorway made a screeching sound, as if it hadn't been opened in a long time, and as the wooden door was slowly pushed open, the whole village seemed to be activated.

Li Jiu'an looked up and saw that the village was not large, with a dirt road running through the village, and dilapidated thatched huts and tiled houses stood on both sides of the road.

The morning sun seemed to be impenetrable to the fog, and the whole village was still a little gloomy.

The villagers who got up early were busy with their own business, dressed in coarse linen clothes and wearing various hair accessories, and there was no trace of modern society in the village.

"Afterlife."

"Afterlife?"

An old shout suddenly came from beside him, which startled Li Jiu'an, when he entered the door just now, he didn't see anyone around him, and he didn't know when this old man came to his side.

Looking at the sound, this is an old man who looks like he is nearing twilight, with a thin body, as if a gust of wind can blow him down, and he looks at him with a kind face.

"But the next life is lost in the mountains? It's cold in this mountain, come to the old man's house to drink a bowl of hot soup, warm up your body and then continue your journey. ”

Li Jiuan hesitated for a moment and touched his stomach.

"Thank you, old man, that kid might as well be respectful."

Li Jiuan walked behind the old man, which was strange to say, although the old man looked faltering, his speed was quite fast.

"What a handsome young man."

"Look at that skin, it's so white."

"Do you want to come in and play?"

These are a few women standing at the door chatting, brightly dressed, waving to invite Li Jiu'an.

"Knock knock."

"Do you want to buy a sword, a good iron sword?"

It was a naked blacksmith striking iron in a shop, making a clanging sound.

"Hey, General!"

"Young man, do you want to come to the next game?"

This is a few old people playing chess under a tree and chatting.

"Big brother, can you give us the ball?"

A ball made of bamboo rolled to Li Jiu'an's feet, and a small head poked out from the gate of the courtyard next to him and asked.

Li Jiuan smiled and kicked back lightly.

What a peaceful and peaceful village.

......

"The afterlife, it's here."

It is a small three-bedroom courtyard with a kitchen on the left, a living room on the right, and a hall in the middle. Pickles hang scattered under the eaves.

Li Jiuan sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

"Old man, do you have a guest?" His voice was slurred, as if he had something stuffed in his mouth.

Li Jiu'an looked for prestige, and through the kitchen window, he saw a white-haired old man squatting in front of the stove, not knowing what he was doing.

"Yes, this posterior is lost in the mountains, please come in and drink a bowl of hot soup, and prepare for dinner, old woman."

For some reason, Li Jiuan seemed to have a little more eagerness in his voice, as if he was a person who had been hungry for a long time, and there was a table of food in front of him, and he couldn't wait.

After waiting for a while, the old woman in the kitchen came over with a dish and a soup.

"Small place, simpler, guests don't mind."

The old woman said vaguely.

I don't know what this dish is made of, the slightest trace of it is beautiful, the soup is hot, and the heat is floating.

Li Jiuan took a deep breath, felt the fragrance rushing from his nose to his head, and was about to put his mouth when he picked up the chopsticks, but suddenly his eyes turned black and his mind was dizzy.

He knew that this was a hypoglycemia offense, and if he had an empty stomach for a long time, it was easy for blood sugar to be too low, which could lead to fainting in severe cases.

So he hurriedly put down his chopsticks, supported the table with both hands, and did not let himself fall, and after a long time, he finally recovered.

"Why don't you eat it, is this food unappetizing?"

The old woman saw that Li Jiuan had not eaten, so she said that she was in a hurry, and her mouth opened a little wider.

A splash of bright red ran down the corner of his mouth.

It was blood, a mouth full of blood, and the mouth was chewing on unknown meat.

Li Jiu'an was excited, sobered up instantly, and looked at it, this dish was not a dish, it was obviously a plate of centipedes, and the bowl of soup was full of maggots.

Li Jiuan desperately tried to calm himself down and reduce the fear in his heart.

"Old man, no merit, thank you for your hospitality, I'd better hurry up."

After that, get up and leave, without dragging mud and water at all.

Li Jiuan walked to the outside road, and then ran straight to the entrance of the village, but strangely, the entrance of the village was obviously very close, but the more he ran, the farther away from the gate.

Sensing that something was wrong and stopping, Li Jiuan forcibly calmed himself down and observed his surroundings.

Looking at it closely, Li Jiuan's back was numb, and cold sweat came out all at once.

The naked blacksmith struck a human leg in his hand, and the hammer struck it, splattering flesh and blood.

The woman standing in the doorway chatting took off her human skin.

Chatting under the tree were a few dry bones.

In the yard, the cry of a child was clearly the scream of a knife chopping meat.

This is a quiet and peaceful village, this is clearly a...

Ghost Village!
