The scholar is missing, and no one knows where he went.

The pig-faced Taoist priest went to the scholar's house to buy the white pig, and the scholar's family felt that they had taken advantage of it, because they didn't know where the pig came from. After confirming that it was not someone else's pig that had been lost in the village, they took the money from selling the pig and went to buy half a catty of beef for their little grandson, who was still growing his body.

Pig farmers don't like to eat pork.

The pig-faced Taoist priest cut the pig's tongue with a knife, fried it briefly and ate it. His tongue softened, and he spoke neatly, and he went to the girl's house with the previous bride price to ask for marriage, and the girl scolded him through the door for being a toad and wanting to eat swan meat, saying why the missing person was not him!

This time, the pig-faced Taoist priest was not annoyed, but waited until after dark to go to the Land Temple. As if knowing that he would return, Black Smoke was waiting there.

This time, he asks Black Smoke to turn his beloved girl into a pig.

Black Smoke agreed, but on the condition that there were two pig-tongues, which meant that in addition to the girl, the pig-faced Taoist priest would have to name two nasty people.

The pig-faced Taoist priest did not hesitate, and directly said the name of the girl's father, he thought that the reason why the girl hated herself was because of the influence of her father.

The girl's family of three disappeared and were replaced by three pigs.

The pig-faced Taoist priest cut out his tongue, left the girl's tongue, gave it to Black Smoke, and sold the remaining pork as ordinary pork. Strange things happened, but all those who ate these pork had hard tongues and could not speak, and within a few days they all turned into pigs.

In just a few days, most of the people in the village disappeared, and the village chief was frightened, so he went to the government to report to the official. The pig-faced Taoist priest also panicked, because this matter was related to him, and he was worried that people in the government would find out about him.

The pig-faced Taoist priest went to find the black shadow, but the black shadow was calm and persuaded him not to be nervous, saying that he had other arrangements for this matter. The pig-faced Taoist priest didn't sleep all night, and when he woke up the next day, he found that there were people in every household, but he didn't know any of those people, all of them were new faces. Strangely, no one in the village except him felt that those people appeared out of thin air, as if they had lived in the village all this time and knew everyone well.

Every day in the village, people disappear, and new faces will appear, and the pig-faced Taoist priest sells pork as before, but he can't tell whether he sells real pork or pork that people have become. He was terrified that when he woke up that day, his parents would disappear and be replaced by two unfamiliar faces.

Speaking of this, the pig-faced Taoist priest suddenly laughed, and he said, "It's still coming!" ”

"Your father and mother have been replaced?"

"Not by people, but by pigs." The two Taoist priests pointed to the corner on the side, and Liu Hanshan noticed that there was a pigsty over there, and there were two big fat pigs locked in the pigsty: "They are my father and mother, and they have been locked up here for nearly a hundred years." As for the two pigs that replaced my father, I killed them. I know what you want to ask me, and the answer is very simple, our family has been butchers for generations, and my father and mother used to make marks on pigs, and the two people who became my father and mother had pig marks on their bodies. They are not my parents, they are pigs in my house. ”

"Then you-" Liu Hanshan wanted to speak and stopped: "Is that black smoke made?" ”

"I did it." The pig-faced Taoist priest said: "If I don't have evil thoughts in my heart, how can I be used by that black smoke?" I choose people, I do things, even if I want to blame, I should be blamed. ”

The pig-faced Taoist priest said that he had regretted it a long time ago, but it was easy to get on the boat and difficult to get off the boat. In order to prevent his father and mother from being slaughtered by other butchers, he could only agree to the black shadow's request to help guard the Taoist temple and guard the secrets of the mute village.

"I heard from people outside that the mute village is made up of two parts of villagers, what is going on? There is also this Taoist temple, why is it not Sanqing but Yan Jun who is enshrined? What's going on with the rumors that the imp cut people's tongues? Liu Hanshan asked all the information he had found before, as the county magistrate of Anping County, he wanted to know which of these rumors were true and which were false, and what was hidden behind these true and false rumors.

The pig-faced Taoist priest was silent for a while before he said, "Building a Taoist temple means black smoke, and as for the ten halls of Yama enshrined in the Taoist temple, it is my own proposal, I feel that I am a sinner, and I will go to the eighteenth layer of hell to suffer after death." Black Smoke thought my ideas were interesting, so he didn't object to me. ”

The pig-faced Taoist priest said: "In the past hundred years, Kangnai Village has changed its name several times because of the change of the court, and there have been wars or something during this period. If there is war, there will be displaced people, and if there are displaced people, there will be new villagers, and the new villagers will be swallowed up by Kang Nai Village, become a part of this village, and accept the same fate as other villagers. The legend that everyone in Anping County knows happened more than ten years ago. Those exiles were not ordinary exiles, they were deserters from the previous dynasty, and they attacked the villagers at night, not because of some poignant love, but to cover up their own whereabouts, and they feared that the new emperor would find them. ”

"What's going on with the restaurant?"

"It's black smoke, he already has the appearance of a human being, and he needs a place to rest." The pig-faced Taoist priest sighed: "He is practicing an evil art, the specific method is unknown, I am only responsible for taking over the mutes who were sent back from the restaurant with their tongues cut out, spreading rumors that the little ghosts cut off people's tongues, and placing them in the village by the way." For every two people sent back from the restaurant, two people will be taken from the village, and the two people who will be taken will replace them. Occasional mistakes make those people disappear completely, and this is the truth of those headless disappearances in Anping County. ”

"What is the purpose of the black smoke lurking in Anping County?" Nan Jinyi asked, thinking of a person: "That black smoke, what does he look like?" ”

"He-" The pig-headed Taoist priest was about to open his mouth when he was entangled in a black gas, and after a while, he knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, Nan Jinyi wanted to save him, but the pig-headed Taoist priest used his only remaining strength to tear off the face towel on his face, and said with a smile: "No need, he wants my life, just give it to him." I've lived like this ghost for nearly a hundred years, and I've lived enough and I'm tired of it. ”

With that, he closed his eyes and fell to the ground, and then turned into a withered skeleton that was half human and half pig.

In the pigsty, the two big fat pigs groaned, and then fell to the ground together, and went with their sons.

After nightfall, Nan Jinyi and Liu Hanshan inspected the village together, except for a few mutes who were sick or crazy, the rest were all pigs. Nan Jinyi set up a ban in the village, hiding the entire dumb village, as for those people and pigs, let them slowly disappear with the whole village.

In addition, Liu Hanshan, who returned to Anping County, also issued a ban saying that there was a plague in the place where the dumb village was located, so that the people avoided it. As for the tongue cutting case in the restaurant, Nan Jinyi caught two pigs, and used the incarnation charm to turn them into the appearance of the shopkeeper and the man, according to Liu Hanshan's previous thinking, the restaurant was designated as a black shop, and the shopkeeper and the man were designated as murderers, so that the whole case was settled.

On the silk book, Nan Jinyi only wrote one sentence: Demon, not terrible! The scary thing is to have a heart that is more like a demon than a demon!
