When he came to the edge of the county seat, Lai Changsheng took out a map from the Qiankun bag and looked at it, and led everyone into the mountains.

After traveling for half an hour, the eight of them came to a deserted abandoned mountain village. There are more than 30 small wooden buildings in this mountain village, which are built in rows between the two mountains, and there is a small mountain stream about one meter wide in front of the village.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone else?" Lai Laodao led seven people from the head of the village to the end of the village, but finally received no reply.

"Amitabha! Lai Daochang, I am afraid that there are no survivors in this village. The old master Chang Deng recited the Buddha's name with full anger, and his face was full of sorrow.

Seeing that the old monk who was about eighty years old was in a hurry for half an hour, without the slightest fatigue, Li Ge sighed in his heart. I'd rather move my white heart than fall into Qingyunzhi, these cultivators of the older generation can do this, which really makes me admire.

"Oh~ how could such a disaster happen. Lai Changsheng sighed, took out the map and looked at it, then put it on the ground, pointed to the dots outlined in red and said, "If even this village is uninhabited, I'm afraid that from here here, these seventeen mountain villages will not be inhabited." ”

"If you look at the size of this village, there are at least hundreds of zombies in this mountain forest. Mao Yuanshan stared blankly at the map on the ground, stretched out his hand and patted Lai Laodao's shoulder and said, "Let's go, Lai, let's take a look at these mountain villages around Wushan first, maybe there are living people in other villages." ”

"I hope so. Putting away the map, Lai Changsheng led the group and continued to walk towards the next village.

At noon, after passing through two deserted villages, everyone came to a halfway up a hill around the third village. On the map, this village is the farthest from Osan Mountain. The village is built on a flat land surrounded by mountains, and from the mountainside, there is a small waterhole at the edge of the village, and there are about 100 families in the village, most of whom have smoke from their roofs.

"You see, there is smoke in the village, which means that there are still living people here. Let's go~ Let's go into the village. Lai Changsheng said excitedly, and glanced at the seven people behind him, all of whom were happy.

"It's great to finally come across a village with living people. Looking at the smoke wafting from the village, Li Ge sighed happily, and then followed the master and the seniors to the bottom of the mountain.

The houses in this village are built on the side of the mountain in two rows, and the distance between them is more than two zhang wide, and when they come to the foot of the mountain, after passing through a bamboo forest about ten meters wide, the two cottages on the edge of the village appear in the eyes of everyone.

"Amitabha! This mountain village has not been tragically harmed, which is a great blessing. Monk Chang Deng whispered.

"Let's go, everyone, let's go into the village. Lai Changsheng looked at the village and nodded happily, and walked straight to the road in the middle of the village with everyone.

"May I ask anyone?" came to the door of the first villager at the edge of the village, Mao Yuanshan shouted into the house.

"Who?" asked from inside the room, and then a noon man in a black robe with a black cloth scarf on his head walked out of the room. He saw the eight people outside the house and stayed for a while, then gave a salute and said, "Masters are polite, I don't know what you are doing here?"

"This little brother, I heard that there was a zombie in the mountain villages around Osan Mountain, so we came here to take a look. Lai Laodao took a step forward and said with a normal face.

"I don't know, we live here in Zhu'er Village all the year round, and we rely on ourselves for food and clothing, except for preparing some supplies and going to Black Mountain County to barter, we basically don't interact with people. ”

"Oh, then what strange things have happened in your village recently?" Hearing the man's words, Lai Changsheng hurriedly asked again.

"Strange thing?" the man muttered to himself, a slight solemnity appeared on his face, and then he stared at the eight people in front of him carefully for a few times before whispering, "Recently, many animals in our village have died for no reason, and Uncle Da He from the village over there also died last night. ”

"Do you know how he died?" Hearing the man's words, Lai Changsheng couldn't wait to ask.

"I don't know. The man shook his head, and then said, "Since the masters have come to our village, you might as well come to my house for a cup of tea." ”

"Did Uncle Da He live on the other side of this village?" Lai Laodao ignored the man, but asked the doubts in his heart.

"Yes~ Uncle Da and Uncle are the first to live on the other side of the village. Seeing that Lai Laodao didn't pay attention to himself, the man was so concerned about Uncle Da He, who had just died last night, and didn't hesitate too much, and told Lai Laodao directly.

"Excuse me, let's go first. Lai Laodao raised his hand and gave a salute, and led everyone to the other end of the village. Along the way, the children playing in the village saw the eight and followed, but when they were about to reach the other end of the village, the children dispersed one after another, as if they were afraid of the man who had just died.

"Dahe, you ruthless thing, leave us orphans and widows and leave like this, how should we live in the future. When Li Ge and his party of eight came to the edge of the village, there was a tragic cry from the first house at the entrance of the village. Without much hesitation, the eight of them walked straight into the courtyard where the crying could be heard.

The courtyard wall of this house is built of wood, and there is a small courtyard about three zhang long and wide after entering the courtyard, and in the gate behind the courtyard, several men and old people stand in it with solemn expressions. In the room, a woman wearing a white filial piety hat knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, and in front of her lay a bamboo mat, on which lay a silent deceased, and behind her, on the side, kneeling a pair of young men and women about twelve or thirteen years old.

"Amitabha!

"Where are you from?" the people in the room turned their eyes to the door, and one of them, an old man of about fifty years old, walked up to the door and asked.

"We are from Montenegro County. Lai Laodao replied with a heavy expression, and then asked, "May I ask how he died?"

"Hello~" The old man sighed bitterly, ignoring Lai Laodao, but turned his head to look at the corpse in the hall again.

"Dahe, I know you are unwilling to die, but since you are gone, why don't you close your eyes. The woman in the house glanced at the man standing outside the door, and then began to weep bitterly beside the wide-eyed corpse.

"Fortunately, it came in time and didn't cause a big disaster. Lai Changsheng walked into the house at some point, he squatted on the other side of the corpse, pulled the deceased's collar and looked at it, and suddenly found two black tooth holes, and then pinched the tip with his right hand and clicked on the deceased's forehead a few times.

"Life and death are impermanent, each has a destiny, since you are dead, then go to reincarnation with peace of mind, I want to believe that heaven is fair, and I will be fair to you. After pinching the trick a few times, Lai Lao Dao said loudly, stretched out his hand and closed his hand on the deceased's face, and the eyes that were straight and unusually miserable were closed.

When everyone in the house saw this scene, their faces were full of surprise, and the old man who had just spoken hurriedly walked to Lai Laodao's side and said softly, "This old man, I am Ye Wang, the village chief of this Zhu'er Village, I don't know if you can follow me outside the house to talk about it." ”

Lai Laodao nodded and went out of the house with his hands behind his back.
