Chapter 165: Catching Ghosts

A gust of wind blew outside the Penglai Inn, which was cold, blowing the tattered clogs at the door, making a "creaking" sound.

The shopkeeper was originally at the door of the inn and was about to close the shop, but the sound of the clogs he heard was suddenly startled, and he trembled all over, and then he heard the sound of "woo" wind, and ran back in fright, shouting "ghost!" in his mouth.

Zhou Changfeng is a person in the rivers and lakes, and he has never believed in ghosts and gods, but when he saw the two of them looking embarrassed, he was angry and funny, and he shouted: "In broad daylight, where did the ghosts come from, I saw that you were pretending to be ghosts here." Zhou Changfeng and Wuyi both drank a lot of alcohol, and now the wine was surging, and they were so annoyed when they heard such nonsense that they slammed the table and chair with one palm.

The shopkeeper saw that he was annoyed, and he jumped up from the ground, laughing and apologizing, while rubbing his buttocks.

The shopkeeper had recovered from the fright, and found that the strange sound was only because of the wind, not some ghost, so he couldn't help scratching his head apologetically, and then tiptoed to the door to close the door.

Zhou Changfeng drank another big bowl of spirits, slapped the table and said, "Shopkeeper, you say, what is going on? If you have the slightest concealment, beware that I will demolish your broken shop!"

The shopkeeper's heart was taboo, and he didn't want to say more, but at this time, he saw that Zhou Changfeng was strong, not angry and mighty, and it didn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp, and he saw that he drank a lot of wine and went down, and he was worried that he would be too drunk to clean up, so he had to sigh and explain the matter 1510.

Although this hidden village is remote, after several generations of hard work and hard work, life has gradually become better, which naturally attracts many people from outside to take root and live in the hidden village. After a long time, the hidden village has gradually become prosperous and lively, restaurants and inns are lined up, vendors and pawns are shoulder to shoulder, and the people here are simple and simple, there is no dispute, so the market is often closed at night, but all this beauty and prosperity was completely subverted a few months ago.

About two months ago, there was a fool named Li Er in the village who died suddenly at the entrance of the village, and the villagers heard about it and rushed to hear the news. Not far from the entrance of the hidden village is a dense forest, and the villagers have speculated that he must have been wandering around in the middle of the night and was attacked by wild beasts in the mountains and forests, so he ended up like this, as for what kind of beast, everyone has different opinions, some say that there is a big insect with white eyes in the forest, and some say that it is a wolf pack.

Li Er is a fool after all, and he doesn't have many relatives and friends in the hidden village, so he just relies on the name of the village in the same village to get by, so everyone didn't take it to heart, and only discussed it with each other for a few days before it was diluted. But just more than half a month after Li Er's death, there was another death in the hidden village, this time it was the hunter Wang Lao Er in the east of the village, Wang Lao Er was born burly and strong, and he was bold, and often went into the depths of the dense forest alone to hunt, so he was quite famous in the hidden village. Wang Lao Er also died at the entrance of the village, his head was missing, and there was no intact place on Zhou's body, which was almost exactly the same as Li Er's death. This was the second person in the village to die, which caused panic among the villagers, and everyone talked about it, but most of the villagers still agreed that most of them died at the mouth of the beast.

This news soon spread throughout the hidden village, when some young people in the village were very angry when they heard the news, because they were afraid that the beast would come out to harm people again, so they gathered together, and prepared to go to the depths of the dense forest together, to destroy the evil beast to prevent future troubles, once agreed, they soon gathered twenty villagers, each of whom was young and strong, and it could be said that they were in the prime of life. More than 20 people moved quickly, and at dusk of the same day, armed with weapons, torches, and a large net woven of hemp rope, they slaughtered into the dense forest with great vigour. Who knows, just when the villagers calmed down a little, the terrible thing happened again, the next morning, when some villagers passed by the entrance of the village, they found more than 20 headless corpses lying at the entrance of the village, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the miserable was unbearable. This time, the villagers were all panicked, and the wind and rain in Yin Village had been smooth all these years, and how could so many people have died at once? After careful identification, it was finally determined that the 20 or so corpses lying at the entrance of the village were those hardcover men who had gone to the jungle to hunt wild beasts last night, but how could they all be dead here when they had clearly entered the dense forest? Moreover, they were all missing their heads, and the villagers could not figure out how to figure it out.

Since then, the whole hidden village people are panicked, all suspect that it is ghosts and gods, and some people put incense and candles at home, worship the gods for peace, it is strange to say, since that incident, the hidden village has been quiet for a long time, until the beginning of this month, the same thing happened again. Every late at night, there will be a woman's cry at the entrance of the village, mournful and desolate, which makes people listen to the creepy, and so on the second day, there will be people in the village who will disappear inexplicably, and soon their bodies will appear next to the big willow tree at the entrance of the village. Soon, it was rumored in the village that this was a powerful ghost asking for his life, or that the willow tree became a spirit, and it needed a head to eat a living person every day, which made the whole hidden village panic, and the villagers were suspicious, and they did not dare to go out at night, and even before night, they all hid in their homes, closed the doors and locked the windows, in case they were killed by the ghost tree demon.

Zhou Changfeng laughed out loud after listening to what the shopkeeper said, and after laughing for a while, he scolded: "Powerful ghosts asking for their lives? It's just nonsense, how can there be any ghosts between this heaven and earth? I think it's pretending to be a ghost?" After speaking, he drank all the remaining wine in the bowl.

The shopkeeper's face turned pale when he heard this, and he persuaded in a panic: "Grandpa Haohan, can you say a few words, that ghost is very tight, aren't you afraid to recruit him?" At this time, the shopkeeper has closed all the doors and windows tightly, and through the screen window, you can feel that the entire originally lively hidden village has become deathly silent, as if no one has ever lived there.

Zhou Changfeng was a little impatient with the shopkeeper's kind words and persuasion, and snorted coldly: "I still wish it came to the door, I am here tonight, if it dares to appear, I will definitely take him down!"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper shook his head again and again, looking at Zhou Changfeng as if he had seen a ghost, but he was helpless, and finally had to pull the shopkeeper to retreat to the back room, leaving Zhou Changfeng and Wuyi to stay in the door.

Wu Yi also drank a lot, his face was slightly drunk, and he asked in a daze: "Uncle Zhou, you see that they are afraid of this, is there really a powerful ghost here?"

Zhou Changfeng smiled and said, "Brother Wuyi, let's wait here for the ghost to come to the door, and then catch it, how about you?" Zhou Changfeng woke up drunk, and his words were inevitably exaggerated.

Wu Yi patted his thigh and replied: "Happy, it's the first time in my life to catch a ghost, or not, today I will accompany Master Zhou to be a Heavenly Master!"

When twilight falls, the moon hangs high in the sky, and through the screen window, the mottled shadows of the trees are projected, and a gust of wind rises, the branches tremble, and the shadows of the trees shake and sway. At this time, the hidden village was surprisingly quiet, except for the "whining" sound made by the wind passing through the eaves and the "rustling" sound of the leaves. In the doorway of the Penglai Inn, Zhou Changfeng and Wuyi were sleeping on the table.

I don't know how long it took, the moon outside the window has been slanting in the west, and in the silence I suddenly remembered a cry, first very light, if there is nothing, and then more and more clear, like a woman crying, sad and desolate, like crying and complaining, which makes people feel creepy after listening.

Wuyi and Zhou Changfeng sat up suddenly, most of the wine had woken up, and exchanged softly: "It's coming!" and then the action was very light, and the two broke out of the window one after another, and chased out according to the voice.

Both of them were martial arts practitioners, and it was easy to hear the sound and distinguish the position, and it didn't take long to follow the cry to the entrance of the village.

"Uncle Zhou, look!" Wu Yi pointed to the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, and at this time there was a bloody human head hanging on the treetops, and blood was falling from the human head from time to time, apparently just dead.

Zhou Changfeng jumped forward, came to the big willow tree, picked up the human head and looked at it, and suddenly felt horrified, there were five deep blood holes on the top of the human head, gurgling out, it was like being penetrated by someone with five fingers, but who in the world really has such a strong finger power? It was able to break through the bones, and Zhou Changfeng felt incredible.

"Uncle Zhou, be careful!"

Just as Zhou Changfeng was pondering, he suddenly heard a shout from Wuyi, he only felt a white shadow in front of him, and five cold qi went straight to his head, the other party's speed was extremely fast, and in a flash, Zhou Changfeng was locked by the other party before he could react. On the line of life and death, Zhou Changfeng suddenly felt a strong palm wind attacking, faster than the five cold qi, and with a "whoosh", he moved himself half an inch out of thin air, and between the lightning and flint, the five qi blinked nine ways, grabbing a piece of his own clothes, leaving five big holes.

Zhou Changfeng was horrified in his heart, and the alcohol in his mind disappeared in an instant, and at some point, Wuyi had come to him, blocking the front, and looked at one place with a nervous expression.

"Brother Wuyi!" Zhou Changfeng exclaimed, he already understood, if it wasn't for Wuyi's timely move, I am afraid that he would have been poisoned, but it is a pity that he still doesn't know where the other party is, it is really incredible.
