Chapter 394: Ghost Crying Bamboo(1/2)
"It's A Ju." Before she knew it, she actually walked to a low wooden house. This voice immediately made him wake up his spiritual sense and bowed repeatedly: "A Ju meets the ghost master."
"Yeah." The voice inside was hoarse and vigorous: "Come in."
Aju then stood up, patted the soil on her knees, walked to the wooden house, carefully pushed the wooden house away, looked at the dark scene inside, and felt inexplicably panic in her heart, a feeling that she rarely had.
"Aju, sit down." The voice tried to show his kind side, but his voice naturally showed a sense of hatred, which made people shudder, and it had nothing to do with the word kindness.
"Well, thank you, Ghost Lord." Aju looked around and found that there was only a stool beside the door, but if he sat down, the door would have to be closed and the room would have darkened again.
However, she hesitated for a moment and sat down because she knew very clearly what the consequences of disrespect was.
The door slowly closed, and the room turned dark again, with only scattered moonlight coming in from the roof, blurring.
"How are you doing?" This creepy voice sounded in the black room, which was indeed scary. However, Aju was a person who had experienced strong winds and waves. He did not panic because of this. Instead, he lowered his voice and tried his best to calm down and said: "Don't worry, Ghost Lord, everything is arranged here, just waiting for you to order the implementation of the plan."
"Yeah, it's very good." The Ghost Lord smiled faintly: "But I heard that those people are all proud disciples under the Dragon King. They are extremely powerful, so you must be careful."
"Don't worry, Ghost Lord, I will definitely not let you down." Aju nodded and said.
"Yeah, that's good." The Ghost Lord's voice finally eased. After pausing for a while, he actually made a biting voice again: "Hmph, Dragon King, since you ignored your brotherhood back then, don't blame me for not being in love today. One day, I will confront you in person."
He snorted, then used both hands to crush the beads on the seat, making a sound like a broken bone.
Aju's calmness was diluted by this voice, and a look of fear appeared on her face.
"Haha, Aju, don't be afraid, you go back first, don't be discovered by them."
The fat man preached to Aju.
"Yes, the ghost master." Aju clasped his fists and said hello and left in a hurry. He didn't want to stay here for too long, because this place is always weird. Weird houses, weird people, weird atmosphere, weird moonlight, everything is so weird.
When she walked through the hole to return to her quilt, she muttered in her dream, then turned around and exposed her head from the quilt.
The ghost looked at her, but he looked surprised, but he did not show it, but just thought about it thoughtfully and finally nodded slightly.
When the first rooster crow sounded, the ghost stretched out his lazy waist and woke them up.
"Hey, get up, work quickly."
"Zhou Bapi." Lao Jiu turned around lazily and cursed: "When is it time now?"
"Let's go see those corpses!" The ghost pulled Lao Jiu from the ground, and he didn't have a good impression of this gangster.
"Okay." The ghost shook his head helplessly, then stood up from the ground, took a sip of an empty smoke gun, sighed, and followed them in a listless spirit.
Aju led the way, and she remained silent all the way. Everyone could imagine the pain that Aju was suffering in her heart.
However, the ghost did not agree with it. He had a fierce expression on his face. He would occasionally stare at Aju and then move his eyes away from him.
Following yesterday's journey, they came to the Tushen Temple.
However, the scene surprised them because the dozen bodies lying here yesterday disappeared overnight, and there was no trace left in the spot. Even the half-meter-long pit dug by the single sword phoenix yesterday disappeared.
"This...what is going on?" Yin Hui's heart seemed to be stimulated by something, so he hurried to the earth temple and carefully investigated it. He wanted to see if the earth god appeared and brought these guys to the sky.
However, the earth god statue is still in fragments like yesterday, with fragments and rotten tiles everywhere, without any traces of movement.
So, what's going on? Did these corpses run away by themselves? Impossible?
Yin Hui continued to search on the spot while thinking, hoping to find some clues. But the scene was very quiet, and there was not even a single animal hair.
He basically ruled out the possibility of being dragged away by animals because there were neither animal hair nor footprints on the scene.
"Then, there must be other people here." This thought suddenly filled Yin Hui's mind. He looked around alertly, trying to find some traces, but the surroundings were empty and there seemed to be no one.
"Look, there are a lot of footprints here." Suddenly, Lao Jiu shouted out, and everyone hurriedly walked up to see what the footprints were.
As Lao Jiu said, the ground was densely filled with chaotic footprints, and it spread forward. Looking at the chaotic extension of those footprints, you can imagine the dissolution of the team.
"Let's go up and take a look." After saying that, he took a few people up, trying to see what was going on.
The other few people also chased after them and followed the crooked footprints. Aju also looked at the messy footprints on the ground with a panic on her face, with a ignorant expression on her face.
"This...what is going on? Why are there so many footprints?" Aju asked with a trembling voice.
"It's not clear yet." Yin Hui replied. However, when he saw these footprints, they should have been printed on the ground by some villagers' old cloth shoes. So there are two possibilities. One is that these footprints were stepped on by these corpses, and the other possibility is that there are other villagers here, and these footprints were stepped on by them.
Because these are all sandy land, the footprints are very obvious.
Yin Hui suddenly remembered something, looked at the skeleton and said, "Skeleton, come here, please give me a moment."
The skeleton nodded, then walked up, looking at Yin Hui with some confusion: "What's the matter?"
"Let me hug you."
"..." Everyone, including the skeleton, was stunned. I was still in the mood to make a living at this time?
"Oh, no, you misunderstood." He smiled bitterly: "I mean, I want to see how deep the footprints would be left if I held someone, and see if these footprints were left on the ground by other fellow villagers carrying bodies, or if they were left on the ground."
Everyone was sweating, and the skeleton was obviously happy to serve. He patted Yin Hui on the shoulder and joked: "Young man, you have to hug him tightly. Don't look at me thin, I have muscles."
After saying that, his legs bounced up, and then he landed smoothly on Yin Hui's outstretched hands.
Yin Hui staggered forward and then barely stabilized his body. He almost fell to the ground just now. He was panting for a long time before he finally stood firm.
Unexpectedly, the skeleton's refined body was really as he said, with muscles all over his body, and it was so damn heavy when he picked it up.
He took two steps and made a few footprints on the ground, then he carefully put down the skeleton.
He lifted his foot, and then a deep pit of footprints appeared under his feet.
"This...what is going on?" Aju looked at Yin Hui with amazement: "What do you mean?"
"It's obvious that these corpses were gone by themselves." His voice was plain, but the excited expression on his face betrayed his heart: "The corpse went by itself? How is this possible?"
Although he had heard of the corpse-driven sect, there shouldn't be such a sect in such a place? After all, this is a wild mountain village, and the corpse-driven sect is still gathered in Yunnan, so it is impossible for it to come to a place like the north.
So, what's going on with these corpses?
Could it be that the virus from the American Umbrella Company was released? Then it accidentally spread here, and these people turned into zombies? Zombies who make a living by eating people.
"That's not right. If that's the case, why don't they look for humans, but walk in the opposite direction?" Yin Hui felt that his mind was a little too short.
"Let's go, let's continue to search. I want to see where these damn guys have gone." After saying that, he walked in front of the team and followed the dense footprints to the front.
A lush cornfield appeared not far ahead, but at the beginning, it seemed that it was trampled by something and fell.
"This place...ah, my corn?" Aju suddenly looked at the corn that fell to the ground with a pale face, his face full of nervousness, surprise and regret: "Who trampled on my corn?"
"A Ju, are there any other people in your village? I mean, are the villagers not dead yet?" He turned his head and looked at A Ju with a serious expression.
Aju shook her head: "I saw it exactly yesterday. All the villagers in our village were dead, and none of them survived." She said this.
"Oh? Then that's strange." Yin Hui's mind was a little confused: "Can they all run away from them? These corn fields were trampled on by them? But why did they just trampled on the front but not inside?"
With this full of doubts, Yin Hui walked up and looked at the tilted corn stalks.
Maybe because these corn stalks are too hard, many of them pierced the feet or thighs of the trampled people, and many of them were stained with blood. The scene looked shocking.
"What is this?" Yin Hui slowly squatted down his waist, pulled off the piece of shaved step in the middle of the corn stalk from a hard corn stalk, handed it to Aju, and asked, "Aju, do you know who this shaved step belongs to?"
Aju took it and took a look, and said with a panic expression: "This is the village chief. I'm sure it is the village chief, because only the village chief's pants are angular and seem to have been ironed."
Her voice was quick, as if it was incredible to her: "But the village chief and the villagers dare not come to this place, so how could there be any severity of their clothes here? If there is a problem, there must be a problem." Aju stared at the cloth carefully and thought about it.
Seeing A Ju's appearance, Yin Hui asked curiously: "A Ju, have you thought of anything?"
"No." A Ju said slowly, but she thought about it with some reluctance and finally said, "I think what the village chief said to me before makes sense."
"Oh? What did the village chief tell you before? Do you want to talk about it?" He glanced at Aju, his eyes full of urgency.
"The village chief told me before that although he dared not come up to this Nanshan, according to custom, all dead people will be buried on this mountain. Otherwise, his body will be moved to this mountain by the earth god master in the earth god temple."
"I was moved to the mountain by the earth god father-in-law?" He looked at Aju with laughter and crying: "What does this sentence mean?"
"The village chief said that when someone died in the past, the villagers would bury their bodies under a small hill not far from the village head. However, it won't take long before their bodies would be moved to the south mountain."
"Has been moved to the south mountain?" Lao Jiu asked with a cigarette puddle pot, looking at Aju with a suspicious face.
"Yes, no matter when you are buried in any place, when you go to see the next day, you will find that their graves are still fine, and their bodies will disappear. When you go to Nanshan the next day, you will find the tomb of the deceased. So the villagers all felt the strangeness of Nanshan, so everyone dared not break in rashly." Aju explained to them patiently.
"I didn't expect that there was such a strange thing in the world." Lao Jiu's smoke gun hit the ground twice, making a dull sound, and said with interest: "The more he said, I feel the more we need to go up and see if our villagers are also on it?"
"Ghost, what do you think?" Yin Hui glanced at Ghost.
"Let's go up and see, I want to see how evil this mountain is." After the ghost rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go up and have a big fight.
Yin Hui was also ready to follow, and both Dan Dao Feng and Skeleton were also ready, and Lao Jiu was even more eager to try.
"Slow down." Suddenly, Aju spoke, stretched out her hands to block Yin Hui's front, like an old hen protecting the chicken: "The village chief once told me that this mountain cannot go up at night and in the early morning, because if you go up, you will encounter unclean things, so let's go up again in the afternoon."
Seeing that everyone seemed to be unable to wait, Aju explained patiently: "The village chief said that he had just refused to abide by this rule before and brought a lot of people up there. In the end, he was the only one who came out by himself."
Yin Hui looked at Aju's panicked face and looked at Dan Daofeng and others. They knew nothing about catching ghosts. If they really went down with themselves, they would be unable to resist when they encountered ghosts, so they had to nod and said, "Okay, let's go up in the afternoon." After that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Yin Hun, go up now." The ghost stopped, staring at Aju with cold eyes and said in a cold voice.
"Ghost Shadow, didn't you hear Aju say that the yin energy is heavy in the morning? I think it's better to go again in the afternoon. After all, you know very little about ghosts, and I can't protect you all by myself."
Yin Hui had his back to Aju, so he winked at the ghost, meaning that I understand what you mean, so I will go back first and make a long-term plan.
The ghost pondered for a while before saying, "Okay, let's listen to you."
After saying that, he followed Yin Hui and walked down the mountain.
