On the Avenue

"Wealthy? Surnamed Liu? A child of the Liu family?"

Chen Shi felt that the name was somewhat familiar, and suddenly there was a roar in his head. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the thin boy in front of him.

He remembered that Sanwang once said that the last missing child was from the Liu family, named Fugui!

And the child in front of me is called Liu Fugui!

Could it be that there are two Liu Fugui in this village?

I'm afraid not!

The thin boy named Liu Fugui walked towards the village. Seeing that Chen Shi did not move, he waved to him quickly and said with a smile: "Chen Shi, come here, I will introduce you to some good friends!"

Chen Shi hesitated and followed him towards the village.

He originally thought that he would have a living friend, but now it seems that this friend is not so living.

"Master Chen Fu!" Sanwang shouted loudly.

Chen Shi turned a deaf ear and continued to follow Liu Fugui, while Heiguo quickly followed Chen Shi, feeling uneasy.

The thin boy walked so fast that no one else in the village seemed to see him, letting him trot all the way to the center of the village. The houses in Huangyang Village, like other villages, are built in circles around the godmother, forming a concentric structure.

Chen Shi looked forward and saw a temple standing in the center of the ruins of an ancient palace.

The temple should have been built later. Although it is very old, it should still be very young compared with the ruins.

There is a bronze statue sitting cross-legged in the temple. I don’t know what era it was. The bronze statue is carved of a strange god with indigo skin and fangs in its mouth. It is more than six feet tall when sitting. If he stood up, he would be more than one foot tall.

She is the godmother of Huangyang Village.

Chen Shi followed Liu Fugui into the temple, and saw that the bronze statue was piled with various offerings, including chickens, ducks, geese, fish, shrimps and crabs, melons, fruits, pears and peaches. It was very rich.

Behind the offering sat a fat man with a big head and big ears. He was holding a clear-water chicken in one hand and stuffing it into his mouth with his mouth open. His mouth was full of oil. His other hand was holding a melon. His little eyes were looking around for fear. Someone robbed him of his offerings.

This chubby fat man should be the divine form condensed by extraordinary power.

Chen Shi looked towards the corner of the temple. There were several children hiding in the corner, talking to Liu Fugui.

"His name is Chen Shi, nickname is Xiao Shi, and he can see me!"

Liu Fugui was very excited and said to the children, "My parents can't see me, and no one in the village can see me. Only he can see me! He can definitely see you too!"

The children immediately looked at Chen Shi with hopeful expressions.

"Brother Xiao Shi, my mother is almost going crazy looking for me. She has been crying for a long time!"

A child hurriedly came to Chen Shi. As he spoke, tears rolled down his face. He choked and said, "I saw my mother crying, and I wanted to cry too. I hugged my mother's legs and told her, "Mother, I am here, but she I can’t hear or see! Can you help me find my mother?”

Another child's eyes were red: "My parents can't see me either!"

The child behind said: "My mother is almost blinded by crying!"

Chen Shi's heart sank. These four children should be the four missing children.

They had turned into ghosts, which meant they were still late.

All four children died.

"As the godmother enshrined by the villagers, shouldn't I have the responsibility to protect the villagers?" Chen Shi turned around and looked at the fat man sitting behind the offerings, eating and drinking.

The fat man stopped feeding him and turned his head with a fierce look.

Heiguo rushed in front of Chen Shi, bared his teeth and whined in his throat.

The fat man snorted: "I am only responsible for exorcising evil spirits, and other things have nothing to do with me! Kid, for Chen Yindu's sake, I will spare you this once! If you speak rudely to me next time, I will eat you, Chen Yindu Yindu doesn’t even dare to let go of it!”

He turned back and continued eating and drinking.

Chen Shi was slightly startled: "Other things have nothing to do with you. Could it be that... the person who killed these four children was not evil?"

The godmother in the village has the responsibility to drive away evil spirits, but if the harm is not caused by evil spirits, then there is no need for the godmother to take action unless the villagers offer sacrifices.

Chen Shi originally felt strange when he heard that there were evil spirits during the day.

I heard from my grandpa that evil spirits only appear at night because there is a strange power in the moonlight.

It is extremely rare for evil spirits to appear in broad daylight.

The big fat man turned a deaf ear to his words and did not answer.

Chen Shi asked: "Fugui, how did you die?"

Liu Fugui was startled and said timidly: "Brother Xiao Shi, am I dead?"

"Don't be afraid first. Think carefully, how did you get kidnapped?"

"I was peeing, and then I was spinning. I didn't know anything. I must have fallen asleep. I don't know how long I slept before I woke up. I heard my parents calling my name..."

Chen Shi perked up after hearing this and heard his parents calling his name, indicating that the place where the accident happened was not far away!

Liu Fugui said: "I climbed over the wall and went out, and saw my parents looking for me. I told them I was here, but they couldn't hear or see me. Brother Xiaoshi, am I really dead?"

Chen Shi wondered: "Did you climb over the wall? Whose wall did you climb over?"

"It's that abandoned house in the village that no one lives in."

"Tian's abandoned house?"

Liu Fugui nodded and said, "Yes, that family's surname is Tian. I also met a few of them in the Tian family." He pointed to several other children.

Chen Shi looked at the other children and suddenly said, "You four, come with me. Let's go to the Tian family's deserted house."

He walked out of the temple with four children. There were crowds of people outside the temple. The villagers gathered outside the temple, staring at him without even taking a breath.

Chen Shi looked back and saw that only Liu Fugui followed him. The other three children were trapped by the temple threshold and couldn't jump out.

Chen Shi returned to the temple and said, "Come with me and we'll go to the scene to take a look."

One of the children said, "I can't get out. When I walked to the threshold, the threshold got higher and higher, blocking us!"

The other two children nodded repeatedly.

Chen Shi heard this and looked at the fat man behind the offerings.

The fat man lazily said, "Others eat meat while I drink soup. These three little ghosts died, and their souls were offered to me. You can't take them away."

Chen Shi asked in confusion, "Why can Fugui leave?"

"He's not dead yet, but his soul has left his body."

The fat man said, "When he dies, his soul will belong to me."

Chen Shi looked at him deeply, and did not try to take the other three children away. He said to Liu Fugui, "Let's go to the Tian family's abandoned house!"

He walked out, and the villagers took the initiative to make way for him. Liu Fugui hurriedly followed him through.

"Is this little talisman master okay?" someone said worriedly.

"There's nothing in the temple, only he's talking to himself there, maybe he has mental problems."

Chen Shi turned a deaf ear to him and asked Liu Fugui to lead the way. He soon brought him to the front of the Tian family's abandoned house.

This abandoned house also has earth walls, without a single brick, built with mud and ash, and simply put up beams and pillars, and covered with straw, which is the front hall.

The door of the front hall was locked with an iron chain, which was already rusty.

There was an old locust tree in the yard, which was extremely tall and lush, almost covering the entire yard.

It was hard to see inside.

Chen Shi was not in a hurry to go in. He put down the bookcase and took out a knife. Hei Guo hurried forward and asked him to prick him to draw blood.

"Hei Guo, I'm sorry for you. I don't have any exotic meat here. I'll go back and compensate you."

Chen Shi ground ink, mixed cinnabar and black dog blood, and without using talisman paper, he went straight to the door of the Tian family's deserted house and drew talismans on the door.

He activated the Three Lights Righteousness Art, and the stars around him came one after another, turning into the Big Dipper around him. A divine light suddenly appeared behind his head, condensing into a shrine.

Chen Shi took a deep breath, his mind and energy went to the tip of the pen, he held the pen with one hand and quickly drew a picture of Yu Lei on a door panel, then he exhaled, the divine light behind his head receded, and the shrine disappeared.

He couldn't keep his true energy at the moment, he could only rely on a breath to make his shrine appear, and when the breath dissipated, the shrine would also dissipate.

Chen Shi took another breath, licked the ink, the shrine reappeared, and drew another picture of Shen Tu.

These two pictures are the door god talismans drawn on the peach charms.

When the two pictures were formed, a faint divine light burst out from the door, and then it became fainter and fainter, and the divine light merged into the air, which was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Chen Shi exhaled turbid air and said: "The peach charm has no reaction, it seems that there is no evil spirit in this deserted house."

If there is an evil spirit, it will definitely trigger the peach charm, and the two door gods on the peach charm will jump out and drive away the evil spirit!

Now the peach charm has not been triggered, which means there is no evil spirit in the deserted house.

"So, who is the one who took the bed-wetting child away?"

Chen Shi held the pen and ink in one hand, and gently pinched the other hand, then broke the iron chain that locked the door, pushed the door open and walked into the yard. ——Although he had no magic power, his strength was getting stronger and stronger.

Hei Guo and Liu Fugui hurriedly followed.

The villagers stopped outside the door and did not dare to come in.

The yard was full of weeds and trees, and the largest one was the locust tree.

Chen Shi came to the locust tree, picked up the pen and concentrated his mind. With the help of the true energy that had not yet dissipated, he drew the Five Mountains House Guarding Talisman on the locust tree.

He glimpsed a dry well in the yard, and immediately came to it and drew a well talisman on the edge of the well.

In this way, there is a peach talisman in front to drive away evil spirits, a Five Mountains House Guarding Talisman in the middle, and even the well is blocked by the well talisman. The Tian family's deserted house is as solid as a rock, and no evil outside can enter. If there is evil in the yard, it will feel suppressed by the Five Mountains and cannot move.

Chen Shi put down his pen and asked, "Fugui, where did you wake up from?"

"In the main room!"

Liu Fugui walked into the main room quickly and said, "It's here!"

Chen Shi followed him, but he could not see Liu Fugui.

The main room was empty, with only the altar table, on which were placed eight black spirit tablets, the tables and chairs were covered with dust, and there were spider webs in the corners.

"Fugui, Fugui!"

Chen Shi called out loudly, but Fugui, who had just rushed into the main room, disappeared.

Chen Shi came to the side room on the left, and suddenly felt a chill. He saw four black coffins parked in the side room on the left, and the coffins were placed on the benches and neatly arranged.

He came up to it with courage, and saw that the nails on the coffins were still there, and they should have been parked here for a long time.

Chen Shi thought about it and did not open the coffin.

He came to the side room on the right, where there were also four black coffins parked, also on the benches, not on the ground.

Chen Shi frowned slightly. These eight black coffins should be the coffins of the eight members of the Tian family. For some reason, they were only buried but not buried.

There was no sign that the nails of the coffins had been taken out.

"Fugui clearly came in just now, how come he suddenly disappeared? Unless..."

Chen Shi's eyes fell on the coffins. He hesitated for a moment and was about to open the coffins. At this moment, the sound of a dog barking came. Chen Shi returned to the main hall, but saw Hei Guo parked outside the main hall. He did not come in, but just raised his head and barked at the top.

Chen Shi looked up and was stunned.

The roof above the main beam of the main hall should have been renovated. It was not thatched straw, but a very flat wooden board, which was laid in the shape of a human. The wooden board was very thick and was planed to be extremely shiny. On it, complex talismans were drawn with blood from something unknown, which was extremely bright red!

The talismans were very large, each of which was more than ten feet in radius. There were five talismans in total.

The structure of the talismans was very strange. If you squint your eyes, the lines become hazy, and it seems as if you can see five hideous heads with bloody mouths and tongues more than ten feet long, like ghosts!

Five chains hung from the mouths of the talisman ghost heads, and four of them were tied to a child each, with their hands and feet trapped and hanging upside down on the roof.

The eyes, upper and lower eyelids of these four children were hooked with fish hooks, and the eyelids were lifted up. The noses were also hooked with fish hooks and pulled upwards.

Their mouths, upper and lower lips were hooked by four fish hooks at the four corners, stretched in different directions, making their mouths look very big.

They were upside down, their bodies drooping, and their tongues in their mouths were pierced by an iron hook and pulled down.

The iron hook was connected to a thin iron chain, at the end of which was a small tripod the size of a palm.

Their tongues were stretched very long.

The blood that flowed from their tongues flowed along the hook and the iron chain into the small tripod.

"Fugui!"

Chen Shi saw the face of one of the children, who was the thin boy who wanted to make friends with him just now, and hurriedly shouted, "Liu Fugui! Wake up! Wake up!"

The child seemed to hear his call and rolled his eyes in a daze.

A wave of ecstasy surged into Chen Shi's heart.

"Alive!"

"You are still alive!"

"Don't touch Fugui! I will save you now!"
