Chapter Twenty-Six: Uncle Ghost
That's when I saw what he looked like.
He looked no more than forty or fifty years old, and had a clearly visible scar on his face, from his forehead to his chin, like a dragon, which made his face look hideous and terrible in the night.
I just glanced at him, and my heart trembled inexplicably.
The subconscious mind seems to be telling me that this person is not ordinary.
And this feeling has never been felt even in old madmen and old smokers.
Even, I don't know why when I saw him, I thought he was the person the old smoker said, even if I still had some unexplained fear in my heart.
I nodded and asked, "Do you know the old smoker?" ”。
He didn't answer me, but just looked me up and down again and said, "You can call me Uncle Ghost." ”
"You can't stay here for too long, let's go."
After finishing speaking, he left without looking back, and at the same time shouted in his mouth, "The deceased is gone, don't disturb the dream." ”
"It's dry, watch out for the candles."
"Boom!"
After the words fell, he struck the gong in his hand again.
I followed him closely, and the abnormal cold was inexplicably reduced a few points, making my whole body a little more comfortable, except for being a little hungry.
It's just that to my surprise, he didn't mean to stop and rest, and he didn't seem to have any idea of where to take me to stay, but took me around the Fengling Village all the time.
Round and round.
So that I almost got a thorough understanding of the environment of Fengling Village.
Just as the old drunkard said, there are indeed only twenty or thirty people left in the entire Fengling Village now, and the reason why there are only five rooms with candles is because only five people are quite sound, and the rest are all blind.
And not like the man I just came to see was blind in only one eye, but really blind and couldn't see anything.
Naturally, the blind man does not need to catch fire.
This also complicated my heart, and I didn't understand what happened to make almost all the remaining people in this Feng Spirit Village blind.
I couldn't help but ask again, "Uncle Ghost, what else happened in Fengling Village?" ”
"Didn't you say that the previous incident was a hundred years ago?"
"How ......"
"The real people of Fengling Village have long since died." Uncle Ghost said lightly.
I was stunned for a moment.
"Dead?"
Uncle Ghost struck the gong again, and after shouting that sentence, he said, "These people are all from Fengling Village that came later. ”
"Most of it was to find the truth about that incident."
"It's just that for some reason they can only stay here."
"Are you saying that they are the descendants of the outsiders who were killed in Fengling Village?" I was a little surprised, and at the same time glanced at Uncle Ghost again, "You too?" ”
Uncle Ghost nodded slightly, and when he saw my question, he explained: "I am the village keeper of this generation of Fengling Village. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously stopped.
The old smoker said that the village guards have five disadvantages and three deficiencies, and they lack souls, and I have to come out to find something to supplement my life because of this reason, but Uncle Ghost can ......
It's not like there's something missing.
Seeing me stop, Uncle Ghost seemed to understand my thoughts and directly lifted the trouser leg of his left foot, I took a look at it, and immediately gasped.
Uncle Ghost's left foot has long since disappeared, and it is supported by a piece of wood, which makes me a little puzzled by how he walked without the slightest discomfort.
When I was stunned, Uncle Ghost lifted the clothes of his left hand again, and there was no doubt that the inside was still supported by wood, and I noticed that the gong was not held by him, but hung.
"I'm lucky."
"Although I was born with a missing left hand and left foot, my brain is still quite clear."
Uncle Ghost said disapprerovitically.
I'm feeling a little complicated.
If it were me, I wouldn't be so optimistic nine times out of ten, but looking at his appearance, he doesn't seem to care about his physical condition at all.
Seeing that I was silent, Uncle Ghost didn't say much on this topic, but looked at me and said, "The old smoker asked you to come, it should be for the spirit coffin, right?" ”
Hearing the three words of the Zhenling coffin, I didn't think much about it, nodded slightly and said, "The old smoker asked me to come." ”
"Yes." I smiled bitterly, "Before, when the old drunkard heard me say that the coffin of the spirit was suppressed, he drove me out directly. ”
"I still don't know where the coffin is."
However, Uncle Ghost didn't seem surprised that I was kicked out by the old drunkard, and only after striking the gong again did he speak: "The Zhenling coffin is buried with the people of Fengling Village who guarded the village a hundred years ago. ”
"In the early years, many people tried to find out the truth from the body of the village keeper. 、”
Speaking of this, a flash of remembrance flashed in Uncle Ghost's eyes.
"It's just that no matter how those people search, they can't find a single clue to the coffin in the end."
"Not only that, but everyone who tried to find the coffin of the town spirit later paid some price."
"Die."
"Either disabled."
My eyelids jumped, and I immediately understood that the people Uncle Ghost said were old drunkards and those who were blind.
And this also made me feel a little lost.
They couldn't find the coffin, and it became like this, so where can I find the coffin.
Uncle Ghost seemed to see my thoughts, and said, "Since the old smoker asked you to come." ”
"Maybe you'll be able to find the coffin."
I smiled bitterly and said a little depressedly: "You don't know where the Zhenling coffin is, how can I find it?" ”
"Ghost boy."
Just then, a familiar voice came.
I subconsciously looked over.
But the old drunkard didn't know when he had come behind us.
Uncle Ghost's brows furrowed slightly.
"Old drunkard, you don't stay in the house well, what are you doing at this time?"
"Aren't you afraid of something going wrong?"
The old drunkard didn't care and said: "After so many years, if you should die, you should have died a long time ago, and it's not bad this time or twice." ”
The old drunkard walked up to me and said, "This kid is here to find the coffin of the town spirit." ”
"Are you sure you want to keep him?"
Uncle Ghost fell silent.
After a while, he said lightly: "We have been here for so many years, and we don't know where the Zhenling coffin is." ”
"Even if he's here for the coffin."
"I don't necessarily find it."
The old drunkard sighed slightly and said, "I've lived enough, and if I die, I'll die." ”
"But the other immortals don't necessarily think the same way I do."
"What if something happens......"
The old drunkard glanced at Uncle Ghost, "It's not like you can end it." ”
"You'd better think it through."
"Now take him out."
"It's still too late."
The old drunkard looked at me again.
This glance gave me goosebumps, and I subconsciously twisted my head to the side.
