Chapter 30: A Strange Ballad
On the other side, I followed the village chief on a tractor to Mochizuki Village.
On the way, I sat on the tractor and asked the village chief for specific details.
Actually, I don't know the bottom of my heart, because it sounds too weird.
Moreover, Zhao Heng and I mentioned a Yin Merchant before, which is a group of guys who specialize in collecting evil weapons.
Zhao Heng and I worked hard to get three evil weapons, and there may be as many people as toys, don't put yourself on it if the matter is not solved at that time, it is better to ask clearly.
As I inquired, the village chief confided in some more details.
That is, these so-called strange things always happen at one o'clock in the night.
And every time it happens, it's accompanied by a terrifying ballad.
Because it was so terrifying, and there were dead people, no one dared to come out to see it, even if they heard the ballad.
However, some daring villagers said they had seen a bride in a red wedding dress walking through the village.
The bride in a red wedding dress?
I thought.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the car finally arrived in the village.
Some villagers also gathered from all directions.
"The village chief is back."
"Folks, this is the master who invited you back." The village chief introduced me to everyone.
All eyes were on me.
I smiled politely at the crowd and said.
"I'm here to solve the problem for you. People can tell me what they see or hear. ”
"Master, go and look at the stone left by the merchant, the words engraved on it are terrifying." When someone heard me say this, he immediately pointed to the stone at the entrance of the village.
Well? Is there still a word on the stone?
I followed the direction that everyone was pointing to, and it was the stone left by the Yin Shang.
I walked towards the large stone that had been erected, and sure enough, I saw a line of blood-red handwriting on it.
When a black raven flies in the sky, a lost brown deer will come in the shadow, and a wolf will show its fangs in the blood-red moonlight. You will go to hell and be sealed up in the earth.
Does this phrase have any special meaning? Looking at the words on the stone, I fell into thought.
Just by virtue of the literal meaning, I can't guess it for the time being, is it a curse?
Although I couldn't figure it out, I did know some information.
"Did the man leave anything else behind?" I asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
But then a toothy villager said.
"The man didn't leave anything behind, but he said something before leaving."
Then he pointed to the lotus pond in the village with a somewhat ugly face.
"He said that the lake at the entrance of the village is where all of us are buried."
After listening to his words, I walked to the lotus pond, which is a pond full of lotus roots.
It's summer now, and it's full of lotus flowers, and it's very beautiful.
I squatted down and took a closer look at the lotus pond.
It's strange how there is nothing in this lotus pond, and I can't even feel the slightest yin qi.
It looks like a normal pond.
"How about the master, have you found anything?" The village chief looked at me and frowned, thinking that I had discovered something.
I shook my head and stood up.
"This pond is normal, take me to another part of the village. Also, tell these villagers to leave, and don't gather around me. ”
As soon as the village chief heard this, he immediately reprimanded everyone and dispersed.
Then he took me around the village, and after a while, I still didn't find anything unusual, so it seemed that I could only look at it tonight.
Then the village chief arranged for me to live in a villager's house.
At night, I have prepared some things in my room to ward off ghosts, although I already have a willow-eyed dagger that can kill evil spirits.
But this incident always gives me a feeling that I can't put it into words, so it's better to be careful.
These days, I have also learned a lot of things with Zhao Heng, and I know some ways to deal with evil spirits.
I looked at the wooden pegs in my hand that I had carved out of them, which I had soaked in black dog blood beforehand.
As long as it is thrown out, it is more powerful than copper coins that are contaminated with yang energy.
I pinned them carefully.
I don't know how long it took, just when I wondered why I hadn't come yet.
An eerie nursery rhyme sounded outside the window.
"Green grass...... Red Wedding Dress...... March 3 is coming...... My brother marries... Hooded ...... Wear a wedding dress...... Sleep in a coffin...... ...... in the water"
The sound goes from far to near.
I opened the window.
Sure enough, a red sedan chair appeared outside the door, and four paper figures were carrying the sedan chair forward.
The moment I opened the door, the paper figures all turned their heads sharply.
They all looked at me.
