The widow's surname is Yu, and her name is Yu Qingmei. When the few people who were with him from the cave that day dragged Lin Cheng to a banquet, Lin Cheng understood the whole story.

You don't have to follow the portions, eat a meal for nothing. A few people sat down together, a few glasses of wine were down, and before Lin Cheng could figure out the matter, someone spontaneously introduced him. A middle-aged woman pulled a woman who was no more than twenty-five or sixteen years old into the table, pointed to a few people at the table, and kept talking to the woman: "These are also the ones who killed thieves with your dead ghost man, so it stands to reason that you should also toast a glass of wine." The young woman was resigned, her face was very haggard, she raised her wine glass tremblingly, she didn't dare to speak timidly, she just drank it all, motioned for a few people to continue eating and drinking, and was pulled to another table by the middle-aged woman.

Until the banquet was over, several people took Lin Cheng to the courtyard to pick and choose, and took some hoes and brooms and the like to take away. Lin Cheng didn't quite understand, but he just thought that this was the local customs, and he also picked a pickaxe to take away.

Seeing that Lin Cheng was a little restrained, a few people in the company remembered to tell him some things and rules in the village.

After Lin Cheng killed those soldiers and bandits, because the family had no men, according to the rules, they gave the land in the widow's house to others, and it happened that Lin Cheng had just arrived in the village and did a great deed, so he directly assigned the land to Lin Cheng.

Although it was in accordance with the rules, but in the end, Lin Cheng was still not very comfortable in his heart, so he often went to help the widow, he did not choose to return the land directly, first, the widow's family only had two women, one big and one small, and the land was given to the widow, and she couldn't cope with it, and second, Lin Cheng himself had to survive, he couldn't go against the entire Taoyuan Village, he just wanted to live simply.

After that banquet, people showed their hideous side, they not only gave the widow's land to Lin Cheng, but also took away a lot of farm tools and food, and no one could take care of the mother and daughter if they could use it, just take it away, the rules are the rules. People say in unison: "How much food can a woman and a little girl eat? ”

Lin Cheng couldn't turn a blind eye, so he wanted to get closer to the widow. There was nothing left of the widow's house, tables, chairs, benches, poultry, livestock, and even vegetables from the garden, and the widow had to live by working for others.

Later, Lin Cheng, who thought that he could live like this for the rest of his life, heard from the people in the village that many men used her daughter as a threat to dig a tunnel in the widow's house, and asked the widow to go down the tunnel every night to a house not far from the widow's house and accept their ravage.

Gradually, the women in the village began to target her, and trivial words such as mourning stars and shamelessness all appeared. Yu Qingmei's face, arms, and body began to have a lot of scars. No one is left to work for widows to make ends meet. When winter came, the widow's family ran out of food, and she went from house to house asking for a bite to eat, but no one responded, and some people even came out to continue to ridicule or directly insult her face. Others threw the widow with snow blocks, and the snow threw blood. The widow had to bear it on her own, and she could only beg people to give her another bite to eat, and she was so humble that the daughter of the family had not eaten much for two days.

The widow was so weak that she finally fainted. fainted in front of Lin Chengmen. Lin Cheng sent the widow home, and gave Yu Qingmei a portion of his few grains. Relying on the few pieces of food, the two women, one older and one young, survived a winter, and the widow's daughter fell ill because of hunger.

The widow needs to wait by her daughter's side day and night, but she has no food, and although Lin Cheng often helps, it is still not enough. She had to endure the ravages of the devil every night. Finally, Lin Cheng made up his mind that he wanted to help the widow, and he went to the humble house not far from the widow's house. It was pitch black in the room, and nothing could be seen. Only the widow lay in bed. Lin Cheng lowered the curtain at the door, this is the tacit agreement of the men, and the curtain is lowered to mean that there are people in the house. It was dark in the house, and the widow heard the movement, but she did not react at all, and she knew that she had no right to make any demands on the devil. Lin Cheng lit the fire to illuminate the hut, which had no light, and he found the obvious entrance to the house and let the widow go home.

The widow was surprised, but she shook her head, she did not dare. There are still men waiting outside the door, and after a certain amount of time, no matter what is going on inside, the people outside will come in and the next person will come in. This is also the tacit understanding of men.

The fire fold couldn't illuminate the whole house, so Lin Cheng found rags and wood in the house and lit a fire. A few men outside the house couldn't see the light of the fire fold, but they saw the light of the fire, and the people left, because it was Lin Cheng, the man who had killed the bandits, in the house. Lin Cheng escorted the woman home, he stayed at the woman's house all night, and there was some movement outside from time to time, but when Lin Cheng walked out of the door of the widow's house and shouted: "Damn it, get out of Lao Tzu." ”

Everyone knew that Lin Cheng was once a soldier, and they couldn't help but be afraid, all movement was gone, as quiet and silent as every silent night. Lin Cheng returned to the widow's house. The widow burst into tears. It was still quiet outside, except for the smell of burnt paste. Lin Cheng glanced at the fire outside through the crack in the door, let him go, he can always get through, even if he goes back now, the food is gone, even if it is not burned, it has already been taken away, how can those people make him feel better?

And now that they are gone, this mother and daughter may really not see tomorrow, that girl, who is only eight years old, came to the world to suffer at such a young age.

The night was still quiet, the firelight did not disturb the night, it was still so quiet.

The next day, Lin Cheng walked out of the door of the widow's house, and when people saw him, they pointed their fingers, saying that Lin Cheng was shameless, had attracted evil, and offended the gods, so the house was burned.

The widow locked the door after Lin Cheng went out. Lin Cheng went to the village chief's house, and since he had already helped, he simply helped to the end. He was going to marry a widow, a mourning star in the mouths of the people.

For a person like him, he can only report with a widow to keep warm. He fell into the memory, he was not a dead escape, he was just a captured grain transporter, he betrayed his comrades. He escaped, and he couldn't go back, and he didn't deserve the woman who had been waiting for him to come home. I am quite a good match with the mourning star. The village chief did not agree, because the widow was going to be sacrificed.

The village chief told him that every nine years, the village would offer two women to the Fire God, put them in the Fire Temple, light candles, and the Fire God would pick up the two women. The next nine years will be smooth.

Of course, Lin Cheng didn't agree, but it was too late, and the moment he walked out of the widow's house, it was too late. The village chief told him that the mountain soldiers he had trained had already taken the mother and daughter away. When Lin Cheng ran to the fire temple on the mountain like crazy, there was only a pile of ashes left inside.

Spring came, Lin Cheng went crazy, Lin Cheng stopped farming, and there was no place to live, he would go to a cave every night to spend the night. When spring comes, the village begins to die inexplicably, one person dies every month, and before the person dies, there are nightmares about two women with loose hair.

Both men and women died, but most of them were children. Summer is here. Another outsider came, a very kind-hearted woman, who knew that there were two female ghosts in the village, and she made up her mind to get rid of the ghosts. The woman was instructed to look for her husband, and she knew that her fiancé was here, but she never saw him. She went to ask the village chief, and when she learned that her fiancé was Lin Cheng, the village chief told him that Lin Cheng was dead, and replaced the tablet of a villager's grave with Lin Cheng's. and let people always guard Lin Cheng on the mountain. Let her think that her fiancé is dead, dead at the hands of that female ghost. So, she started drawing talismans, and she was a Second Realm monk. Counting the family wealth she had accumulated on weekdays, she posted talismans to every household, but the widow's house did not post them. At night, the widow returned to the village with her daughter, and she could not enter any house, only her own original home, and the widow had been carried away by revenge, and the widow took her daughter home, and then two demons fought.

The woman's name is Guixiang, and she accidentally got the method of Fu Gong's cultivation, and the body of the Second Realm did not get much enhancement, but the Fu Gong was very powerful. The woman counted out that tonight was the birthday of the eight-year-old girl, and the ghost was better than in the past, and her mother had also been strengthened a lot, and it was difficult to solve, the woman reluctantly suppressed the widow, and tried her best to kill the widow, but she was attacked by the smaller ghost, and the soul was beaten out of the body, and she could not return to the body, Guixiang killed the smaller ghost with the last talisman, and the widow suddenly regained her sanity before the soul dissipated, and actually prevented the little ghost from killing Guixiang's soul, but kept cursing Guixiang to bear the pain of 10,000 times more heartbroken than herself。 The widow mother and daughter died. Guixiang is not dead, only the soul remains. When the day dawned, people came here to collect the body of Guixiang. Guixiang's body is buried. Guixiang can't come out during the day, and her soul is fragile.

At night, Guixiang gave the people a dream of immortal law, because every household had a charm of Guixiang, and Guixiang could only take advantage of a drunkard who fell drunk on the street, give him a dream, and then return to the only widow's house in the whole village without a charm. The next day, the drunkard who was entrusted with the dream was very weak because of the soul of Guixiang. He went to the village chief to discuss. Everyone didn't believe the drunkard's words, but in front of their eyes, they saw Guixiang's corpse. The village chief was very afraid, he didn't know if Guixiang was really dead, but what if, in case Guixiang became a demon and hurt people, they just experienced it. What if Guixiang found out about Lin Cheng?

The village chief did nothing because of fear. He told the villagers that it was their delusion. At night, Guixiang didn't know why the people in the village didn't do what she said, she went to find someone to dream, because the soul was out of the body for two days, plus last night's dream, Guixiang's soul was in a very bad situation, and she was bruised all over her body by the talisman she painted, she also had to dream, this was her only chance to survive, the village chief's house, the village chief was very weak by the dream, and the village chief felt that Guixiang must have been killed by a ghost, and the ghost pretended to be Guixiang, and took the opportunity to take revenge on the whole village, borrowing the corpse to return the soul. Otherwise, why could the widow pass through the talisman and turn into cinnamon to give herself a dream, but she couldn't go to the mourning hall where the corpse was stored to revive her soul. No matter what the reason, this Guixiang, who died to save people, will definitely not be able to live.

Guixiang's body is in the mourning hall, and where it is in the mourning hall, the soul cannot return to the body. Heaven and earth are impermanent, and sending death to life is the rule of heaven and earth.

The next day, the village chief asked the whole village to paste all the charms drawn before the cinnamon incense in the widow's house, and asked people to build a wall outside the widow's house, and asked people to throw the crazy Lin Cheng into the widow's house on the mountain, and sacrificed it to the widow, begging her not to harm anyone. Guixiang saw Lin Cheng and watched Lin Cheng die of hunger and thirst.

One day, the mountain collapsed and the widow's house was smashed to pieces, freeing two ghosts at the same time. It's a ghost. Since then, every month, a person will die in the village. The people of the village were afraid, and they begged the evil spirits to spare them, but how could the evil spirits listen to the people? So the people of the village became evil spirits, first the old man and then the woman, and they sacrificed them to the evil spirits one by one.

Lightning swept through the sky, and then thunder rolled out, like a thunder god descending into the world to kill the wicked. Lin Cheng finished telling the story, he used to be just a deserter, but now he has become a starving ghost, and he wants to eat people. The light of lightning shone on Lin Cheng's face, there was no pain, no relief, just a calm face. Zhou Zhengqing got up and looked down at the thin ghost creature lying on the ground: "Where is Guixiang?"

Lin Cheng laughed, the rain became heavier and heavier, and from time to time it was accompanied by a strong wind, and the blowing door frame creaked, as if it would fall at any time: "Let's play a game, see how many people she has killed when you find Guixiang, and you have been refusing to kill me, aren't you just waiting for her?" I guess your current situation is not too good." ”

Lin Cheng is right, Zhou Zhengqing's situation is not very good, it can even be said to be very bad, if it is not for himself in the state of self-cultivation, Zhou Zhengqing will not be able to hold on to this moment, for half an hour, the spiritual power in his body is consumed extremely quickly, while using the silver bracelet to imprison Lin Cheng, he is also running the golden dew plate that was transferred from Zhao Jiu in Yi'an Town before leaving, isolating a realm. At that time, the five Four Realm cultivators were running, and the time was not long and they were exhausted, and Zhou Zhengqing was difficult to control even with his own spiritual power. Zhou Zhengqing just poured a vague aura into it, maintaining his divine power without showing it, but it was ready to use, and he was already haggard at this time. Zhou Zhengqing didn't expect that what he had been guarding against, the ghost who taught Lin Chenggui to draw talismans, and combined talismans with ghosts to hit the wall, trapping the whole village would directly flip the table, and he wanted to take revenge on everyone on such a rainy night. Zhou Zhengqing couldn't understand why it was today. I finally knew why I felt very strange here as soon as I entered Taoyuan Village, and the old and weak had already been sacrificed to this starving ghost, so only the light and strong were left in the village. Many people here deserve to die, but there are still people who deserve to be alive after all, such as that little Tang Guo.

The monk walked out of the shadows hidden not far away, this handsome monk comparable to a woman's face, at this time his body was wet with rain, his bald head, face, and everywhere were rained, and the monk's eyes blown by the wind opened with difficulty, and his feet were full of mud. The monk walked over as fast as he could, and under this small eaves, the monk folded his hands, his eyes were firm, and his right hand stroked forward, enveloping this starving ghost called Lin Cheng from afar.

Zhou Zhengqing stopped, just from the courtyard in front of the altar, rushed back quickly, and constantly released the little aura left to perceive the cinnamon fragrance that was good at talismans. But Zhou Zhengqing seemed to have guessed wrong again. Because in front of him, on this silent night road with only thunder, a woman was waiting for him. Women are very ordinary, if they are not in such an environment, no matter where they are, they belong to the most inconspicuous kind. The thunder continued, illuminating the woman's only special, pale cheeks. She just stood there quietly, her blue dress in the dark night, without the slightest sense of disobedience. Looking at Zhou Zhengqing, a clear voice came into Zhou Zhengqing's ears: "He, is he dead?"

"Isn't he already dead?" Zhou Zhengqing slowly walked forward. Guixiang didn't seem to mind Zhou Zhengqing's actions, and only spoke: "Do you know how he feels when he doesn't want to eat, but he is tempted to put food in front of him? Do you know how painful it is when he eats someone?"

Zhou Zhengqing stopped: "Do you know that you can't help yourself?" Zhou Zhengqing's eyes froze, and the golden man flew out of his sleeve with a dew plate, releasing his magical power in the air, and collided with the blinding talisman array arranged by the girl in front of him who was proficient in talismans, and in an instant, the scenery in front of Zhou Zhengqing's eyes shattered. There was no heavy rain, but a light rain. What is the starving ghost Lin Cheng, but he is still standing in the center of the altar, and he was previously captured in his consciousness, and walked through the talisman that the woman in blue took the lead in arranging in front of him. Before, it was the woman in blue Guixiang who didn't want to hurt him, but now she had to completely throw off her sleeves and live and die, just because of Guixiang, she really couldn't help herself. Spiritual power fluctuations emanated from the woman in front of her, who was good at talisman methods, forming Dao ripples in the air, constantly shaking Zhou Zhengqing's body that was close to running out of oil, which was obviously another talisman method. Guixiang's eyes had turned blood-red, and she had obviously lost her nature. Zhou Zhengqing had exhausted all his means before, and at this time, he could only harden it. Holding the handle of the knife with his right hand, Zhou Zhengqing drew the knife out, and the crisp metal sound gradually disappeared as the knife was completely unsheathed. This sword, with a real scabbard by a monk, shows its edge. The blade is narrow and long, there is no curvature, the blade is on one side, the whole is pitch black, the handle is a two-handed knife long handle, there is no pattern used to decorate, this is the simplest knife. Zhou Zhengqing's left hand pierced the scabbard on the stone in the center of the altar with a slight force, and there was only ruthlessness in his eyes, which was not much different from the expression he had when he fought with the tiger who had cultivated in his body that day. This battle, which was calculated by a certain big man, became an unsolvable life-and-death situation, because Na Lin cost to resolve the grudge, but was used as the fuse for the loss of Guixiang. At this time, the aura of heaven and earth quickly converged on Zhou Zhengqing's body, and the humane monk was like this. Zhou Zhengqing rushed towards Guixiang with a knife in his right hand, and the strange talisman appeared from time to time to interrupt Zhou Zhengqing's own cohesion. What surprised Zhou Zhengqing even more was that Guixiang's talisman had been able to form a talisman out of thin air without the help of foreign objects, and completely took over the knife with all his strength. At this time, the monk was already a little emaciated, and with Lin Cheng's kind thoughts, the monk was temporarily sealed with Buddhism, and the battle between Guixiang and Zhou Zhengqing was not able to intervene.
