Chapter 82 Houshan Ancestral Hall
Since going down the mountain, bad things have happened to "people" several times, and Yun Song and others will instinctively be vigilant and suspicious when they see "people". Yun Song turned to the old man, secretly holding the Frost Cloud Sword in his hand, as long as the other party made the slightest movement, he would draw his sword to meet him. His face was as cold as ice, and he asked in a cold tone, "Who are you, could it be that Gu Liang's accomplice?" How could the old man have seen this battle, and when he was frightened, his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, "The young man is angry, the young man is angry! The little old man is really hungry because the little grandson in the family is hungry, so he ventures to the town to find something to eat! Please also ask the young man to raise his noble hand, there are still three or four people in the family waiting for me to go back!"
"You're not a person from the Soul Transformation Dao?" Chai Shien couldn't see anything from the old man, but felt very kind. The old man was stunned for a moment, "No, no, no, no, the little old man is the person in this Beiqing Town, the soul transformation path is rampant and domineering, killing people like hemp, and some people in the little old man's family have died in their hands!"
The old man came from sorrow and cried out, "In just a few months, what has happened to a good town by them? The adults are better, and they can endure it when they are thirsty and hungry. The day before yesterday, two children starved to death.
"Old man, you mean that there are still people alive in the town?" Yun Song asked in disbelief. The old man wiped his tears with his dirty sleeves and said, "There are still some of them, mostly old people, children and women." Speaking of this, he suddenly took a step back and looked at them in horror, "You, who are you, why are you in the Zhang family's old mansion?
He turned around and ran, but because he had not eaten for several days, he had no strength, and he had not run a few steps, and he fell to the ground in the dark, and he did not even have the strength to speak.
"Senior Sister Liao Shui, I remember that you still have some pastries there!" Among the several people, only Liao Shui brought a lot of things to eat, Yun Song took a few pieces of soft mung bean tide cake, broke them, and fed them into the old man's mouth little by little.
"Eat, eat!" The old man felt the sweetness in his mouth, struggled to sit up, and waved his hand vigorously to stop Yun Song, not letting him continue to feed himself, "The young man is full of heart, and the little old man is grateful." However, when you are old, you don't have much hope of living, so it's better to leave this food for the children!"
God has given Cang the right to live, and no one is willing to give it up easily. But the old man in front of him would rather be starved to death than save the children, Chai Shien couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and looked at the burden in Liao Shui's hands. There wasn't much food left, but if you saved some, it would be enough for a dozen people to fill their stomachs temporarily.
"You don't have to look at me like that, give!" Liao Shui stuffed everything he could eat to Chai Shien, "But that's all, we have to think of something else!"
"Thank you, senior sister!" Chai Shien was overjoyed, and walked up to the old man with the food, "Uncle, we only have so much here, you take it first, these are all given to you by my senior sister." I don't know where the rest of the town is, can you take us to see it?"
When the old man saw so many pastries at first glance, he didn't know what to say when he was happy, and his tears couldn't stop flowing, "A few young heroes are the life-saving benefactors of our Beiqing Town, and the surviving people in the town are hiding in the secret room of the ancestral shrine in Houshan, the little old man will take you there!"
There was a burst of joy in everyone's hearts, and at this moment the sky had begun to brighten, and they followed the old man to walk towards the ancestral hall of the back mountain. Along the way, the old man talked about some things intermittently, which was similar to what Yun Song and Chai Shien had heard in the inn before.
"The beasts seemed to be looking for something, and asked us if there was anything special in the town, and we didn't understand, and when they asked what was special, they got impatient. Alas, those who were harmed by them did not know how to die unjustly!"
"A special place?" Yun Song thought of Master's entrustment when he was leaving, and asked, "Old man, have all the beast demons in Beiqing Town left?" the old man sighed, "At first, we also thought that those beast demons would not see people, so they left. So some brave young people will come back to the town from time to time to find something to eat. But not one of them will come back alive!"
Yun Song nodded, which means that the beast demons in Beiqing Town have not left. However, apart from the two they had seen at the inn, Yun Song didn't know if that Gu Liang was considered a beast demon.
"We saw that all the bones were piled up in the Zhang family's old mansion, did those people go there?" Chai Shien thought of the white bones everywhere, and a chill suddenly surged in his heart. The old man shook his head very firmly, "Impossible, they will definitely not go to the Zhang family's old mansion!" Even those mothers who coax their children will scare them and say that if you are disobedient, they will send you to the Zhang family's old house, and the children will not cry when they hear it!"
Even three-year-olds know that where they are afraid, adults will never go. So there is only one reason why the white bones appeared in the Zhang family's old mansion, that is, after they were killed, the beast demon dragged them back to the Zhang family's old mansion and ate them, which left corpses and bones everywhere.
"Have you ever seen a man-eating beast demon with your own eyes?" Ge Kunfeng was anxious to know what the beast demons that had harmed the entire Beiqing Town looked like, but the old man sighed and said, "Those who saw them were all dead, and those who are alive now don't know what those beast demons look like." ”
When the sun was rising, they finally arrived at the ancestral hall in the back mountain. The door of the ancestral hall had fallen off the door frame, apparently caused by the impact of an external force. The ancestral tablets placed on the ancestral hall all fell to the ground, accumulating a thick layer of dust. The old man said, "Those beasts and demons came to the ancestral hall once, and after eating those tributes, they found that there was no one here, so they never came again. That's why we're hiding here. ”
The old man walked to the corner of the ancestral hall, and after pulling a torch on the wall, the secret door opened with a flash, and the old man walked in, Yun Song and the others glanced at each other, Ge Kunfeng stayed outside, and the other four people followed closely and walked in.
The air in the secret room was cloudy and the smell was unpleasant, dozens of old men, women, girls and children were huddled together, and occasionally the low cry of a child soon stopped because of lack of strength.
