In the gray-yellow mist, Yi Yan suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for air.
I checked my body again.
He remembered that at the last moment, the mother-in-law blocked his technique and dug out the eyes in his abdomen, causing him to faint.
Looking around, I realized that this was a strange place. It didn't look like an inhabited place, but more like a mass grave.
The sky was gloomy and gray, as if water was about to drip out at any moment. At any moment, the sand was blown up by the wind, forming various shapes of figures, running around. Countless weathered corpses were embedded in the dry cracks on the ground.
Crows with blood-red pupils on the dead wood tilted their heads and stared at the only living person, Huan Hu, as if they were waiting for the food that was about to come.
Ember casually opened a tombstone under his feet, sorted out the broken soil on it, and could vaguely see the four characters "Ember's Tomb".
"This is..." Yi Yan thought he was dazzled and saw something wrong, but no matter how he looked at it, there were four big characters "Ember's Tomb".
"Why my tomb?" Ember turned over the tombstones one after another around him. Some of them could no longer see the writing on them. On some of them, what could be seen clearly still read 'Ember's Tomb'.
Yi Yan frowned and felt extremely solemn. He simply sat on the tombstone and looked at the surrounding scenery, thinking a little in his heart.
"Am I really dead?"
He was a little scared. In that world, there were his parents and grandparents.
Before Yi Yan could think too much, a row of familiar figures appeared in the wind and sand.
They were in ragged clothes, with distorted faces, and large shackles on their necks and feet. They were holding an iron ball the size of their heads behind them and walked forward one after another.
"Wang Rong, Wan Gaojun, Jiang Qing, Zhang Li..."
With sharp eyes, Yu Yan could see the first woman walking with messy hair and dusty face. Behind her were all the classmates who died this time.
"Yu...Yi Hu?" Wang Rong seemed to hear Yu Hu's chanting, turned around and saw him, and exclaimed.
This shout attracted the attention of all the students, who all turned to look at him.
"Why didn't you die?"
"Do you know how miserable we are here?"
Jiang Qing shouted loudly, veins popping out on his face.
"I'm sorry..., I don't know whether I am dead or alive."
Yi Yan's eyes were in a trance, he had a splitting headache, and his mind was buzzing. All kinds of messy memories suddenly emerged, gnawing at his heart, making him extremely painful and restless.
"Why don't you remind us that we are right next door to you, you selfish thing!"
Wang Rong screamed hysterically, her eyes gradually became bloodshot, and she looked at him fiercely.
"I want you to accompany us on the road! You are not allowed to live alone!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
When he opened his eyes and looked around, he saw Wang Meng standing in front, saying with a look of reluctance.
In the blink of an eye, these students in rags changed their appearance.
Wang Meng's body was covered with knife marks, Jiang Qing had no limbs, and his head was floating in the air as if it had been chopped off; Li Qingwen had a bloody hole in his temple...
"That's right, neither you nor Wang Hu are dead. We are so unwilling to do so!"
"I still long to make a lot of money, buy luxury cars, and live in a mansion. I don't want to die like this!"
"Snapped!"
There was a loud whipping sound.
Those students with horrible shapes were immediately in agony, covering their heads and howling miserably.
Not far away, a hunchbacked old man wearing a bamboo hat and gray robe walked forward calmly. Every time he struck everyone with the long whip in his hand, it left a scar that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
They said no more, and their ferocious and terrifying appearance gradually faded away, turning back to their original ragged appearance, and walked forward one by one.
"You... don't belong here!"
When passing by Hu Yan, the old man put away the whip in his hand and said calmly.
"who are you?"
This old man gave Ember a very mysterious feeling, as mysterious and distant as a wisp of stars in the misty sky.
"Remember! We are not your shelter. If you want to explore the truth of this world, you must go out and get out of this village."
The old man stared at the embers with his green eyes and said cautiously.
"The world is in chaos, no one can kill them! We don't want you to avenge us either!"
"Live! You must live!"
The old man became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face turned red. As he spoke, his body changed into various ghostly shapes, and the scary faces imprinted on his skin seemed to want to escape from the old man's body.
Ember wanted to shout, but suddenly the heaven and earth shook.
Countless dark and skinny six-fingered hands emerged from the cracked ground and dragged the old man and his classmates down to the ground.
........
"What's wrong? Are you still awake?"
"Since the last time we killed the group of people who invaded the village, Jin'er has become more and more confused. Now she can't even deal with this kind of thing."
"It's not your bad idea! You said you asked him to cooperate with me in a play to get rid of those outsiders. If Jin'er can't wake up, what will happen to you?"
"Humph! He grew up with me, so you don't need to worry about this matter."
"And don't think you are proud of killing that multi-armed ghost. If I hadn't taken action against the possessed ghosts outside the village, the whole village would have suffered a lot."
"Haha, if you hadn't taken action? Would you let them come in and try? I still don't believe they can walk out of our village alive under my hands."
....
When he was unconscious, Yi Yan seemed to hear several voices arguing in his ears.
There is a slightly immature girlish voice, a mature and soft female voice, and a slightly older voice.
Yi Yan wanted to speak, but his body felt like it was being torn apart. He suffered abnormal pain, and then his consciousness disappeared and he passed out again.
During this coma, Yi Yan had a very long dream.
In the dream, a child with the same name as himself grew up in Bianyin Village. Wang Hu was the son of the village butcher Wang and his best friend.
The two of them learned hunting skills from a hunter named Lao Yangtou since they were young. Because Huan Jin's family was poor, the people in the village took good care of themselves. Aunt Zhang from the next door family would ask him to go to her house for dinner every now and then. Aunt Zhang was responsible for all his illnesses and injuries.
It was arranged that Grandma Li would sew some new clothes for herself when she had no clothes to wear. Everyone in the village was as kind to her as they were to their own children.
But a few days ago, outsiders appeared frequently in the village. They were cruel and took pleasure in killing people.
As a member of the village, Ember participated in many battles.
Until one day, Lao Yangtou suggested that Yu Yan and Wang Hu should be used as bait to lure those people into the cave, and then the villagers would ambush here and eliminate all the outsiders.
"How's the injury?"
"There seems to be something wrong with Jin'er's memory. She has been in a coma for several days. That boy Wang Hu is still jumping around. Could it be that he is really possessed by something?"
"Then what should we do? My mother just dug out a ghost eye in his body. Grandma Wang said when she came to see him a few days ago that digging out the ghost eye is of no use. His body has been eroded too much, and it is very difficult to
You may not be able to continue living with us any longer.”
"Don't worry, Xiaoli, isn't your Grandpa Yang thinking of a solution?"
I don't know how long I lay there, but I felt that there were many people standing in the room.
Some sighed, some argued, and some sobbed.
Yi Yan tried his best to open his eyes and take a look at his surroundings, but his body felt like it was nailed to the wall by four steel nails, unable to move.
"This is?"
Suddenly, Yu Yan felt something very strange condensed in his abdomen.
He looked carefully and found a strange Buddha statue standing where the eyeball had been gouged out.
The Buddha statue has a fat head and big ears, a kind face, and sits cross-legged.
It just has two snake arms and a sunken place on its belly that can just fit an eyeball.
Three corpse gods?
Yi Yan took a deep breath, and his consciousness suddenly became much clearer.
Although their appearance was different, he could immediately feel the unique resentment of the three corpse gods.
