Chapter Forty: The Old Dog Barks Three Times
Not long after Wei Lai and Ye Feihua walked along the winding path, they reached the end of the road. At the end of the road was a bottomless cliff. The two looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"How could it be like this?" Wei Lai looked at the cliff in front of him and worried. Could it be that he had to jump to get to Youshen Village? He was not afraid of jumping, but was afraid of the unknown at the bottom of the cliff.
"There is indeed something strange! This place is very unusual, it doesn't look like a normal ghost house!" Ye Feihua was also filled with questions.
"The black ruler can't detect Jinhou's soul imprint!" At this time, Wei Lai took out the ruler and wanted to find Jinhou according to the guidance of the ruler. After all, the two of them tracked Jinhou here based on the guidance of the black ruler, and at this moment Jinhou
Hou disappeared out of thin air.
"It shouldn't be! The mark on the soul left by the black ruler shouldn't disappear so quickly!" Ye Feihua looked at the black ruler in Wei Lai's hand.
"Could we have gone the wrong way? Maybe Jin Hou and the others did not enter from the tombstone!"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but under normal circumstances, the ghost house should not be like this. This place can no longer be treated with common sense."
"Then should we return to the ground where we came from and make plans again?"
"First look around to see if there is any mystery!"
Just when the two were forced to stop on the edge of the cliff, a figure appeared above the abyss.
"Who are you? Why did you break into Youshen Village?" The figure is a bald man about forty years old, tall and thick, with a fierce face.
"We got lost and strayed into..."
"We are friends of the golden monkey, and we are here to look for him!"
Wei Lai was originally going to make up a lie, saying that he came here by mistake, but Ye Feihua overturned it. Wei Lai came to look at Ye Feihua and didn't know why Ye Feihua said such a thing. Ye Feihua was afraid of Wei
Who would enter someone else's dark house without any reason? What Ye Feihua didn't know was that there was also a loophole in his words.
"Haha! Friend of the golden monkey! Haha..." The bald man laughed heartily.
"why are you laughing?"
"I laugh at you, but you are fooled by your cleverness! Although I don't know how you know Jin Hou'er, and you can even name him, but do you know who I am? I am the village guard of Youshen Village, and I am Jin Hou'er.
You told me to stop you!" the bald man explained.
"Do you think you can stop us?" Seeing that the lie was exposed, Ye Feihua tried again to see if she could find a way to enter Youshen Village.
"Haha! In Youshen Village, even if you are undercover, without my permission or without the guidance of the village guards of Weijia Village, I'm afraid it won't be that easy for you to enter Youshen Village!" Ye Feihua was shocked, I'm afraid Jin Hou'er guessed it.
It was the two of us who tracked them and told the bald guy.
"If I'm not wrong, the cliff and abyss in front of us is just a trick!" Ye Feihua asked tentatively again.
"It doesn't matter if it's a deception, or it doesn't, you may be able to break it!"
"You...brother, we don't mean any harm! We just want to visit the Fifth Master!" In fact, Wei Lai did not lie. This so-called Youshen Village may be a gathering place for lonely souls and wild ghosts, but the City God's Mansion tacitly agrees with these places.
exists, otherwise it cannot exist for a long time. The purpose of Wei Lai's coming here is just to find out whether the Fifth Master is his father. The deception method was also tested, but Wei Lai and Ye Feihua did not want to
Taking tough measures to break it, and not doing it the right way, is bound to be time-consuming and labor-intensive. If you see that you can't do it hard, you can only persuade with good words.
"I don't care if you have malicious intentions or not! As long as I'm here today, you can't even think of entering Youshen Village!" The bald man didn't let go at all, his attitude remained tough. But he thought in his heart: "Oh! Why bother?"
The bald ghost didn't mean to say hello after he finished speaking, and simply disappeared on the spot.
"Hey, hey! That ghost! Don't leave!"
"Brother Lai! Forget it! Don't force him! Maybe he has his own reasons for not letting us enter Youshen Village!" Ye Feihua said.
"If the fifth master is really my father, there is no reason not to let me in!"
"It's not yet completely certain that the fifth master is my uncle. Even if he is, if he doesn't let you in, there's a reason why he won't let you in! Maybe he also has his own reasons!"
"Why doesn't my father want to see me? Are you blaming me?" Wei Zizi said to himself. He had already determined in his heart that the fifth master was his father Wei Wu.
"I don't think so, but brother Lai, don't be discouraged. We still have a way to enter Youshen Village!"
"What can we do?" Wei Lai asked hurriedly.
"One way is for us to forcibly break through the trap in Youshen Village. Between the two of us, there should be no problem! But I think Brother Lai doesn't want to use this method!"
Wei Laishen nodded in agreement.
"Another way is to seek help from the village guards."
"Didn't he just leave? He shouldn't be able to help us!"
"I'm talking about the village guard of Weijiazhuang."
"The village guard of Weijiazhuang?"
"Yes, the bald ghost is the village guard of Youshen Village. If he doesn't let us go, we can only go to the village guard of Weijiazhuang to guide us and act as lobbyists for both of us!"
"However, Weijiazhuang is a large village. There are at least two thousand people in the village. How do we know who is the village keeper and how do we find this village keeper?" Wei Lai felt that this method was not easy.
"Brother Lai, do you know the characteristics of village guards?"
“I really don’t know this!”
"Brother Lai, you don't know something. The village guards all have very obvious characteristics!"
"oh?"
"It is said that the village guardians are also called Zhenling people. Normal people have three souls and seven souls, but the village guardians only have two souls and five souls. Therefore, they are not very smart. They only smile silly when they see people, but they are kind-hearted by nature.
They have no desires or requests. They will set up a tent to keep vigil with anyone who has a funeral. They will go and help anyone who has a happy event without being called. They never ask for anything in return, as long as they give them food. People of the older generation say that they all
They were selected by the local city god. Their most obvious characteristic is that they are a little stupid!" After Ye Feihua introduced Wei Lai to what a village guard was, she asked: "Brother Lai, do you remember that there is such a person in Weijiazhuang?"
"Although I am not at home all year round, I clearly remember that there is such a person in the village! Everyone calls him Silly Tiger, but I call him Uncle Tiger!"
"It would be easy to handle if you know there is such a person!"
"But, since we are Yin Ze, how can we communicate with people in the world through dreams? And although he is stupid, he is strong and often sleeps in the wild. I am afraid it will not be that easy to find him, even if we find him.
, how can we let him guide us into Youshen Village? Don’t forget, he is a man with five shortcomings and three shortcomings, can he communicate? "
"It's always a hope, I have to give it a try no matter what!"
"Without further ado, let's go look for him and find him first!"
…
The two returned the same way and returned to the tombstone. However, just as they left from the edge of the abyss, the disappeared bald ghost appeared again. Looking at the two leaving, he murmured: "I hope the tiger can be more cruel this time."
, don’t make it difficult for me when the time comes! I don’t know what Master Wu was thinking? I don’t understand! I don’t understand!” Then he disappeared again.
The countryside is peaceful at night, with cicadas croaking, frogs chirping and crickets chirping, and the cool breeze blowing. It is very comfortable. But the two of them cannot enjoy this tranquility. Wei Lai's heart is impatient, and Ye Feihua's mood is also uneasy. What will happen in the future?
Where should the road go? A quiet night is suitable for thinking about life and enjoying life. It is difficult to experience this kind of comfort in a bustling city.
In fact, Wei Wu's tomb is not very far from the village. Although Wei and Ye Feihua wanted to find the village guard earlier, they unconsciously slowed down.
Until they approached the first house in the village, the old dog watching the house noticed the arrival of the two men and started barking, waking up the hostess of the house: "Dad, get up and see what the dog is barking at! Don't
There's a thief!" The male host was tired for a day and really didn't want to get up, but he still sat up. After listening, there was no movement, and then he lay down again: "It's nothing! There are so many thieves! Maybe they are passers-by! Sleeping
Bar!"
The old dog kept barking, causing the dogs in the whole village to start barking.
At this time, in a very dilapidated adobe house, a dirty old man in his fifties opened his eyes, glanced at the old dog looking at him with big eyes, stretched out his rough and dark
With his hands covered with soil, he patted the old dog on the head, and the old dog jumped out of the old house. The old man murmured: "Interesting!" and turned over to sleep.
Wei Lai and Ye Feihua were walking along the path in the village, listening to the constant barking of the village dogs, feeling restless and restless.
"Xiaoye! Do you think this dog can be a psychic? Is it true?"
"Looking at the current situation, it's probably true!"
"If they attack a ghost, will it cause harm to the ghost?"
"If they can really see ghosts, they can be regarded as connecting yin and yang, and they should also cause certain harm to ghosts!"
"Then you really need to stay away from them, otherwise it will be uncomfortable if you are accidentally attacked!"
"That's right!"
"Do you think their constant barking is not simply because they are frightened, or is it to drive us away?"
"I think it's both!"
"Woof...woof...woof..."
"Xiaoye! I'm afraid you didn't guess right this time! If they are driving us away, I'm afraid these dogs won't stop barking until we leave, but now..."
The reason why Wei Lai said this was because just when they were talking about this, they heard three clear dog barks not far from them. After that, all the barking dogs in the village stopped barking, like
Just like the soldiers who were sounding the gong and withdrawing their troops, they all stopped and fell asleep in their kennels. It seemed that what happened next, even if the sky fell, had nothing to do with them.
"I don't think so. There must be something fishy about the last three barks!" Ye Feihua seemed to have discovered the problem.
"What's the problem with these three barks?" Wei Lai was puzzled.
"Didn't you hear that the last three barks were particularly clear, and after these three barks, the other dogs stopped barking? It's as if these three barks were giving orders!"
"I really don't pay much attention to this!" Wei Lai was not as careful as Ye Feihua. In addition, he had something on his mind and was anxious to find the village guard. The barking of the dog didn't make much difference, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Since Ye Feihua entered the village and heard the barking of the old dog of the first family, he has always been vigilant, because he found that except for him and Wei Lai, there were no other people or ghosts at that time. It seemed that there were no other people.
The old dog's bark was a warning to them: I found you, you'd better be honest, my dog's mouth will not forgive evil spirits. Therefore, Ye Feihua listened a lot more carefully.
"You mean those three dog barks were the barks of the village dog boss?" Wei Lai asked half-jokingly.
"That's what it means. These three dog barks seem to convey this command: As long as I am here, nothing will happen to you without you!" Ye Feihua said with great certainty.
"Xiaoye! You haven't learned dog language, have you? It's so vivid! Is it true?" Wei Lai thought that Ye Feihua was overthinking. Maybe the dog stopped barking because it was just tired from barking, or maybe it was because the dog stopped barking.
I feel that the appearance of the two of them has no ill will or threat to the village.
"Brother! Stop joking, I think it's better to be careful! Just be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship! Think about it! If it is as I guessed, what do the instructions given by these three calls mean?"
"What does it mean?" Seeing Ye Feihua's serious look, Wei Lai put away his contempt and began to take this strange matter seriously.
"It means that it is emboldened, it means that it feels that we have nothing to fear and worry about, and it means that it feels that it has enough strength to deal with us!"
When Wei Lai heard Ye Feihua's analysis, it was really a bit creepy.
