Chapter 16: The Old Affair of Chenshan
"In the past, Dongmiao Village was surrounded by mountains and rivers, the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft the water, Dongmiao Village took advantage of the time and place, the wild game on the mountain, the rare medicinal materials, and the parallel goods in the water were even more abundant, and every household lived a prosperous life. But the villagers who came back from the mountains ten years ago, whether they were young men hunting or old women who came back from digging herbs, their hair turned red, and their skin turned red as long as they came into contact with them. ”
Yun Zhen frowned slightly, turned his head and met Liuchuan's eyes, red cat?
Cao Xianling still had a look of horror in his eyes, and continued: "The village has found countless Langzhong, but they don't know what kind of infectious disease this is, and some people say that it is not a disease but a provocation of unclean things on the mountain. Later, these people would go out with cloths on their bodies, and the villagers tried not to contact them, so after more than a month, suddenly a woman went crazy, as long as she saw something alive, she bit it, and her mouth grew sharp fangs, like cat's teeth but a little longer than a cat's, and then more and more infected villagers went crazy, and there were many young and strong guys in the village at that time, just like this young man. ”
Saying that, Cao Xianling pointed to the serious Liuchuan who was sitting.
Yun Zhen glanced back, obviously immersed in the story, and said, "After the adult?"
Then the boys managed to tie up the sick people with iron chains, and these people were no longer conscious, and their own families did not recognize them. Later, the villagers discussed killing these people, otherwise the whole village would not live, and despite the grief of their families, those who were sick were burned to death. ”
Yun Zhen asked: "Since it was burned to death, why in the mountains?"
"Later, the village was clean for a long time, and when the son of the village chief Ma Laotou died in the east of the village, the people were afraid, his son died too miserably, and the villagers said that they burned those infected people to death and angered the gods in the mountains, so the gods in the mountains were taking revenge on us. After that, two young people died one after another, all of them young and strong young men, and then this matter spread, and our government also sent people to investigate, but they didn't find any clues, so they went down the mountain according to the beast on the mountain to accept the case."
Cao Xian Ling took a sip of tea and continued: "In the next few months, several young men will be killed, and the village invited a mage, saying that Chenshan Yin Qi Heavy Sacrifice requires Yang Heavy Men to suppress it, so the villagers spontaneously organized a rally to go to the mountain to worship, and that day became bad news for our entire town, and I will never forget the scene of Chenshan that day until I die!"
The more Cao Xianling spoke, the more excited he became, and the tension and horror on his face made Yun Zhen feel that it was not a good day, and it was not even unimaginably bad.
"That day, after worshipping the gods in the small school field in the east of the village, more than 200 men in the village carried the sacrificial tribute to the gods in the mountains to make amends, but who knows, these more than 200 people have not returned!"
Cao Xianling raised his chapped and rough fingers and gently wiped away his tears.
"The old people, women and children of their village were waiting for them to come back in the east of the village, and when it was dark, they didn't see half of their shadows, it stands to reason that more than 200 people were holding torches on the mountain, but at that time there was nothing to see on the mountain, the village chief at that time, the old man Ma, took a few old men who were respected in the village to the mountain to see the situation, but until Ming'er didn't see the old man Ma and they came back, so they sent someone to report to the official, and our government and the villagers sent a lot of people to go to the mountain to see what was going on, we looked for an hour or two, a woman screamed very fiercely, and we all surrounded it, saw a scene that we still dare not recall. ”
Cao Xianling seemed a little choked up when he said this, maybe it was too terrifying at the time.
"We looked at the trees of all sizes full of people, at that time it could not be said that it was a person, it should be full of human flesh and blood, arms on the ground, legs on the tree, where can you still see that it is a human body, the trees have become red blood trees, the blood on the ground is mixed and coagulated together, more than 200 people, none of them are perfect, all of them have torn people apart! Looking at the past, where is it still the place where the villagers usually dig medicinal herbs, it is clearly an infernal hell!"
Cao Xianling's hands trembled very much, and the frightened look in his yellow eyes could no longer be concealed.
Yun Zhen frowned and listened to all this, and got up comfortingly and poured a cup of tea for Cao Xianling.
"We were all stupefied when we saw this scene, not a single one of us moved for a long time, and two children were scared crazy. We found the village chief and a few other people in the ravine on the side, and the look of their eyes was about to stare to death! We went to report to the local officials, and then alarmed the capital. The emperor sent a national teacher to do a ritual inside, and later some officers and soldiers cleaned out the people inside, and Chenshan was sealed, and no one has been going up for ten years, and no one dares to go up. ”
"Later, people disappeared one after another, and many people have disappeared in our town in the past ten years, and the originally prosperous town has become so big, and I have worked hard to maintain it as it is now. ”
Yun Zhen listened to Cao Xianling's words about the past, and her heart was overwhelmed, and she seemed to be able to imagine the scene at that time.
Cao Xianling calmed down his good mood and looked at Yun Zhen and Liuchuan gratefully: "Thank you, although I haven't known Miss Yun for a long time, if I can use Cao's place in the future, it is incumbent on me." "Get up and salute.
Yun Zhen was frightened, and helped Cao Xian Ling: "Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite, there are no weird things in Chenshan anymore, you can rest assured." ”
Cao County Ling was grateful.
Yun Zhen originally came to Yamen to say goodbye to Master He of Cao County, but he didn't expect to hear such a story, but he didn't expect it.
I got up and said I was going back when I was done.
"At the scene of the crime in Dongmiao Village, the family members who found the body were properly disposed of, and nothing was immovable. Yun Zhen confessed.
"And the hospitality of the adults and the master these days, Yun Zhen is not very grateful, if there is a next time, I will come to thank you. ”
Cao Xian Ling shook his head: "Where to talk, Miss Yun, you are the benefactor of Fengqi Town, and you will definitely be hospitable next time." After saying that, he sent the two out of the door.
Cao Xianling looked at the backs of the two of them, one lively, the other calm, and smiled: "What a couple." Although the man did not speak, Cao County made it most accurate to know people.
Xiao Yukuai, who was standing at the door, interjected: "My lord, do you say that they are immortals?
Cao Xianling nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The path of gods and demons, there are thousands of red dust, how can we mortals see through it." ”
Xiao Yu scratched his head quickly, a little incomprehensible, and the more he looked at the backs of the two, the more he felt like a fairy.
