Chapter 20: [Prayer for Rain] Tablet

The canteen was built not far from their guest house.

Unlike the guest house, this canteen looks ...... Weird.

Generally speaking, the cafeteria is a hall where everyone sits and eats together.

The canteen in Keqiyu Village is divided into three floors, and there are many small rooms for diners.

While cooking, Ning Qiushui asked the aunt who was in charge:

"Auntie, are all your canteens here like this?"

The aunt who was cooking didn't seem to expect Ning Qiushui to ask her this question, she was stunned for a long time, and a trace of panic flashed in the depths of her eyes, before she said:

"Right...... Right. ”

"It used to be a big cafeteria...... Later, some tourists did not like it, and tourism is an important ...... in the village That's the source, so we changed it to a small room like this. ”

Ning Qiushui heard this, his eyes condensed slightly.

"The source? Which source? ”

The aunt who was cooking seemed to be a little flustered by Ning Qiushui's sharp eyes, she looked away and said:

"That's it...... Economy. ”

"I guess it's called economy...... Oops, Auntie, I'm just a cook, and I don't understand any of this! ”

"If you have any questions about this, you should ask the relevant person in charge."

Ning Qiushui bowed his head slightly and said with a smile:

"Thank you."

He took his meal to the cubicle on the left side of the first floor.

Bai Xiaoxiao and Liu Chengfeng were chatting about something.

Seeing Ning Qiushui coming in, Liu Chengfeng hurriedly asked:

"Little brother, did you hear a cry for help outside the window last night?"

Ning Qiushui put down the plate.

"I hear you."

"It's the man who died outside calling for help."

"He ran out of the woods, then scratched his neck frantically, and finally ...... Ripped off his own head. ”

Listening to Ning Qiu's description calmly, Liu Chengfeng felt a chill in his back.

"He, himself...... Ripping off your own head?! ”

"How is this possible?"

Bai Xiaoxiao, who was picking up vegetables, said lightly:

"There is nothing impossible in the world behind the Blood Gate."

"It was definitely not just me and Ning Qiushui who saw this scene last night."

"The man screamed for a long time after tearing off his head before he died."

"Nobody went out to save him...... It's a good thing that no one went out, otherwise something might have happened! ”

Bai Xiaoxiao's voice fell, and Liu Chengfeng shuddered suddenly.

He could imagine how eerie and terrifying that scene was!

But the two people in front of me ...... How calm is it?

Bai Xiaoxiao is forgotten, the old man who entered the blood gate, this Ning Qiushui's psychological quality ...... Isn't it abnormal?

"So...... Why did he rip off his head? ”

Liu Chengfeng cautiously asked this question.

The dining table was silent for a while, and Ning Qiushui suddenly took out a small wooden sign from his arms and put it on the table.

"I don't know why he ripped off his head, but I do...... He definitely met something unclean in the temple on the mountain behind the rain prayer village! ”

The two looked at the wooden sign in Ning Qiushui's hand, and their eyes froze.

That's ...... A dead man's tablet!

"Little brother, this is ......"

"Found from his arms."

"! This, this, this...... This is a big hoodoo, you dare to touch it! ”

Ning Qiushui shook his head.

He took out the piece of blood jade again and placed it next to the tablet of the dead.

The blood jade did not glow.

"I've checked it, there's nothing wrong with the tablet itself, the problem is in the temple."

Bai Xiaoxiao took the tablet, stretched out her fingers, and gently rubbed the name on the tablet, her beautiful eyes glowing.

"Hirokawa ......"

She whispered the name, as if she had thought of something.

Then, Bai Xiaoxiao put the tablet on her nose and sniffed it, raising her eyebrows lightly.

"It smells of incense and candles."

"It does look like it's something for the dead."

Liu Chengfeng on the side said:

"Smell it for me?"

Bai Xiaoxiao handed him the tablet.

Liu Chengfeng took a closer look, and his face changed suddenly.

Seeing that his condition was not right, the two hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Liu Chengfeng's expression was solemn, and his voice was slightly dry:

"My uncle used to specialize in playing with children's incense...... Generally, the dead are worshipped, with sandalwood or agarwood, or ambergris, etc., in addition to representing the respect of the living for the dead, the most important thing is to dispel poison and ward off evil spirits. ”

"But the aroma on this tablet ...... But it is the yin fragrance of locust wood used to attract evil spirits! ”

"That kind of thing...... There are no sales on the market at all, they are all masters of playing incense, and they are made by themselves with special methods! ”

With that, he sniffed it again to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

So, the three fell silent again.

They all realized that something was wrong in the villageβ€”

The things enshrined in the mountain temple behind the rain village do not seem to be gods, but ...... Dead person!

What's even weirder is ......

Some people actually took the incense of locust wood to attract ghosts and worship the spirits of these dead people!

"I'll just say, your blood gate this time is super troublesome......"

A rare look of solemnity appeared between Bai Xiaoxiao's eyebrows.

"Its actual difficulty is likely to be higher than the fourth or even the fifth door of a normal person!"

"But in fact, I can also think that if it weren't for the underworld, there wouldn't have been so many twists and turns, and it would not have been possible to give birth to such a terrifying ghost that you encountered through the first blood gate......"

Ning Qiushui remembered something, and told the two of them about the burning things crawling in the room last night.

Both shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't encountered it last night.

Despite this, Liu Chengfeng's face is still a lot uglier!

The village behind this bloody gate...... It's too underworldly.

"It seems that we have to speed up the progress, there are still six days left in the village to hold a temple festival, this is the deadline given by the Blood Gate for us to find a way to live, if we can't find a way to survive in these six days...... When the temple festival is held, very, very terrible things will happen! ”

Bai Xiaoxiao said, a mad smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which made the two people on the side shudder.

"Okay, Sister Bai, the world behind this blood gate is scary enough, don't do Gu here anymore, where will we go first after eating in a while?"

Liu Chengfeng raised his hand in surrender.

Bai Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, put down her chopsticks again, and said:

"Let's go to the nearest one first."

"About two miles from here, there's a shrine where we can go and see first, by the way...... Ask the villagers who that Hirokawa is. ”

"I have a hunch that this dead man named Guangchuan is an important clue to unravel all this!"

Both agreed.

After dinner, they went back to the guest house.

As Bai Xiaoxiao said, the headless corpse is gone.

Even the blood on the ground is completely gone.

As if nothing had happened here.

And in the guest house, Hou Kong has also been staying in his room.

But he sat at his desk like a puppet, repeating only two things-

Drink water and answer the phone.

"Hey! Good! I'll arrange it! ”

"Gollum!"

"Hey! Good! I'll arrange it! ”

"Gollum!"

"Hey......"

Just watched it for a while, and all three of them had a creepy feeling.

Ning Qiushui tried to talk to Hou Kong, but no matter what he said, the other party would only say yes with a smile.

Seeing that they really couldn't ask anything, the three of them had to come out of the guest house.

The sun shone on them, but the three of them didn't feel the slightest warmth.

"...... This place is too wicked! ”

Liu Chengfeng rubbed his arms with both hands and scolded.

Bai Xiaoxiao put on her backpack and said:

"Where is this going, the evil sect's affairs are still to come......"

"Look, you door...... It's just getting started. ”

"I hope that when you leave this door, you won't leave any psychological shadows......"

PS: It's still three more today.,It's too late to write the remaining one.,Send it together tomorrow afternoon.。

Good night!
