In this place far away from the bustling city, the village seems to blend into the darkness. All the street lights are turned off, every household has its doors closed, and no one can be seen on the street.
Everyone was sitting around the dinner table. Seeing Xie Guilan's face looking strange, she gave the advice "Don't go out after dark."
"Gudu!"
Long Feicheng swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "Sister Xie, don't scare us. We are all people who have seen the world. We are not afraid of anything dark or ghosty!"
Xie Guilan suddenly stood up, leaned forward, and almost put her face in front of Long Feicheng across the table. She sneered:
"It would be easy if the village was just haunted!"
"Ahem, if you have something to say, please say it. Don't be surprised..." Long Feicheng was already a little timid.
Mente and Kong Xuan, two "girls" who had never seen the world, were so frightened that they regretted following them to this strange village.
Everyone looked out the window again. It was pitch black outside and they couldn't see anything. It seemed like the darkness was filled with ghosts and monsters. Once they took a step outside the house, they might be dragged into the darkness by those ghosts and devoured by the cruelest means.
Now if I want to leave and return to a prosperous city, I'm afraid it won't be that simple.
Yan Shouyi said calmly: "Sister Xie, now that it's dark today, it's time to tell us what's going on in the village, right?"
Xie Guilan nodded, sat back in his seat, sighed and said:
"As you can see, the young people in our village have all gone to work in the city. Most of the young people who are still in the village are idle and idle. Among them, there is a gangster in our village. His name is Xie
Dazhi. This Xie Dazhi’s family has fields but doesn’t plant them, and there are pigs but doesn’t raise them.
Li was obviously too poor to take the blame, but he still formed gangs every day and was addicted to gambling. Later, he followed him in several homes in the village. These people started to run rampant in the village, spying on widows taking baths, and robbing the elderly of their subsistence allowances.
Making money and stealing other people's chickens and ducks are common things."
"Although I am the village director, I can't do anything against him, because they only commit petty thefts every time. Even if they are serious, they are arrested and imprisoned for a short time. After they are released, they are the same as before, showing no repentance at all.
"
"I don't know since when, rumors began to spread in the village that a group of strange people appeared nearby. They appeared in groups at night, with strange and erratic postures. The well-informed old people in the village said that they were
Hell, some say they are monsters, and some say they are little followers of the land gods. But no matter what those things are, people in the village are very scared and dare not go out at night."
"After Xie Dazhi learned about this incident, he insisted on going to find out. He called it to eliminate harm for the people, so he took a few of his henchmen and stole a chicken to roast and eat in the evening.
Everyone drank a lot, and a few bastards slept by the river near the village until most of the night. When they woke up and found that it was already early morning, they took advantage of the alcohol and started looking for the group of monsters near the village.
Traces of.”
"As a result, the next morning, Xie Dazhi's family had not seen their return yet, so they searched near the village. As a result, all the others were missing. Only Xie Dazhi was found by the river. When they were found, Xie Dazhi's
His body was so cold that he lost consciousness in the water, and his mouth was filled with stones. Fortunately, he still had breath. Everyone rushed him to the hospital, and finally got him to wake up. The first words Xie Dazhi said were:
It’s a ghost!”
"It's a pity that Xie Dazhi has gone crazy since then and talks nonsense. I went to see him several times and barely figured out what happened that night from his words."
"That night, Xie Dazhi and the others patrolled around the village under the influence of alcohol. Sure enough, they encountered the rumored weirdos. Those weirdos seemed to be two different groups. One group looked like corpses, and the corpses died in different ways.
, some have missing arms and legs, some have their heads crushed, and some simply have only half their body left!"
"The other group of people are ghosts with translucent bodies floating in the air. Those ghosts include those who beat gongs, those who carry flags, and those who carry sedans - oh yes! Those ghosts also carry sedans and sedans.
It’s very high, there’s a monster at least three meters tall sitting inside!”
"Xie Dazhi and the others were so drunk that they couldn't even stand firmly. They accidentally fell down and squatted on their butts. When he raised his head again, he found that the two groups of ghosts were all facing him, showing a very cold and strange expression.
Smile! One of the corpses actually opened his mouth, pointed at Xie Dazhi and the others and laughed, saying that it was you they were looking for, but you brought it to the door yourself! Then all the corpses moved, and Xie Dazhi was so frightened that he lost his soul, and everyone
Turn around and run!”
"Xie Dazhi was a fast runner, but several of his henchmen were caught quickly and didn't even have a chance to scream. Xie Dazhi knew that their fate would be miserable, so he used all his strength to eat.
The child ran wildly and ran to the small river. When he saw a Earth Temple by the river, he went into the Earth Temple. The group of monsters chased him outside the Earth Temple and did not dare to come any closer. Xie Dazhi thought he was saved, but unexpectedly
Start joking about the ghosts outside in the Earth Temple!"
"Those ghosts and monsters are not vegetarians. A weirdo walked out of them. He just raised his fingers at Xie Dazhi, and Xie Dazhi's body walked out uncontrollably!"
"When Xie Dazhi walked out of the Earth Temple, he was immediately picked up by several corpses and carried to the lake. They stuffed stones into Xie Dazhi's mouth and pressed his head into the water, trying to drown him, but
By this time it was getting daylight and the roosters were crowing, and all the ghosts and monsters suddenly disappeared."
After that night, Xie Dazhi became more and more crazy, and Xie Guilan had no choice but to throw him into a mental hospital and ignore him.
As for Xie Dazhi's thugs, they have not been found yet. Their families shed tears every day and posted countless missing persons notices nearby. Then the police came. Since there were really no clues, there has been no progress. As for Xie Dazhi, there has been no progress.
The police do not agree with what Dazhi said. After all, Xie Dazhi has gone crazy, and the words of a madman cannot be used as clues.
Later, Xie Guilan also invited several mages, but half of those mages were liars, and the remaining half shook their heads when they arrived, saying that they had nothing to do with this matter.
The last mage, after spending the night in the village, took his belongings and left in a hurry, leaving only one sentence: "The affairs in your village are too involved, I can't take care of it, and no one in Qiantang can help."
! If you want to solve this trouble, you can only go to some famous sects... Go to Maoshan, Maoshan will definitely be able to solve this problem!"
It was from that mage that Xie Guilan obtained the contact information of Maoshan, and now Yan Shou, Han San and others came to the village.
After talking about the strange things in the village, Xie Guilan sighed again:
"I thought Maoshan sent a powerful master, but it turned out that you guys are here. That's all. Please don't interfere in the affairs of our village. I'll find another expert..."
Xie Guilan didn't trust Yan Shouyi and the others, and at the same time he didn't want them to wade into this muddy water. His contempt was mixed with goodwill.
Han San said seriously: "Sister Xie, we cultivators have always taken it as our duty to eliminate demons and defend the Tao. How can we shrink back just because of fear? But having said that, after you have been talking for so long, the chicken soup has become cold. Could you please give me some help? Let’s warm it up and get ready for work after eating, okay?”
