Take Over the Underworld

"It's that strange boy, master, don't you think there is something wrong with him?" Mr. Liu licked his lips and said.

"Boss, did something happen?" Qu Hai was still beside him with a confused expression on his face.

Feng Du shook his head, averted his gaze from staring at the dilapidated house and said, "Let's look elsewhere."

Zhao Qingling naturally obeyed Feng Du's order, seeing Feng Du turned and left, he followed without any objection, but Mr. Liu was somewhat unwilling to fall behind, and still said: "Master, I really think there is something wrong with Hei Zai , why don't we just break in and force him to question him, maybe we can find out why from that kid."

"Hey, she really is a blood-drinking goblin, with such a violent and rascal idea, such a pitiful child, who actually wants to torture her to extract a confession." Qu Hai laughed beside him.

Mr. Six looked at Qu Hai angrily, and sarcastically said: "Maybe he is an old ghost who is older than you. If you talk so pitifully, maybe he doesn't need sympathy at all, but only needs to eat raw human flesh!"

Qu Hai suddenly looked at Mr. Liu with an expression of wanting to scare me, and I am not afraid, and Mr. Liu who looked at him directly responded with a contemptuous smile.

In the broken stone house, the old lady looked at Hei Zai tremblingly: "Hei Zai, who are those people? How did they come to the village?"

Standing behind the old woman, Hei Zi pursed his lips and looked at the old woman holding a bowl of red porcelain bowl in front of the shrine. There was a shrine directly opposite the door in the stone house.

The faint light of the red candle illuminated the porridge in the red porcelain bowl, which looked like a beating brain, but the old lady's expression did not feel disgusting or frightening at all, instead she ate it as if she was eating delicious food.

Hei Zai looked at it for a while before saying: "It's a person from outside. He came in and said he was looking for some friends, but he hasn't left yet."

"Hey" the old lady shook her head, and took another sip of the beating brains in the porcelain bowl: "What a crime, this village has long been a carnival place for hell and evil spirits, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave, it's really a crime , Fortunately, I have the blessing of the divine infant, so I was able to save my life, thank the divine infant."

The old lady finished drinking the brains in the porcelain bowl, put down the red porcelain bowl and kowtowed respectfully to the shrine.

A gust of unknown evil wind blew past the shrine and blew a corner of the red gauze covering the shrine. A black doll the size of a finger was sitting behind the shrine, with a pair of evil eyes staring at the old woman below. Scary baby giggling all around.

The old woman didn't care at all, she just knelt down devoutly and wholeheartedly.

As if responding to the old woman, the red gauze hung down and gently stroked the old woman's face. A smile appeared on the old woman's old face covered with chrysanthemum patterns.

At this moment, traces of cold air leaked from the crack of the broken wooden door behind Hei Zai. Hei Zai turned his head keenly, and saw thick red seeping from the crack of the door, a patch of thick red blood emerged There was a girl's face bleeding from all seven orifices, and the girl smiled coldly at Hei Zai, standing silently in the shadows and staring at Hei Zai.

Hei Zai's expression didn't change at all. On the contrary, when he saw the girl, he said directly to the old woman, "Grandma, I'm going first."

The old woman was devoutly worshiping her divine baby, and when she heard Hei Zai's farewell, she didn't ask much, she just said, "Go, be careful."

Hei Zai nodded, walked up to the girl in red, stretched out his hand to hold the girl's hand, and walked out of the old woman's house together.

Feng Du and the others walked around the village, but they still found nothing.

Mr. Liu said somewhat depressedly: "Master, I really suggest that it's better to drag Hei Zai over to ask about it. If you don't believe us, we can't find out why."

Zhao Qingling next to him eagerly said: "My lord, I think what Mr. Liu said makes sense, why don't we try it, maybe we will find something."

Feng Du frowned slightly and said, "It's not that I'm stopping you, but have you ever thought about the reason for the existence of Yin Village?"

As soon as these words came out, both Zhao Qingling and Mr. Liu shook their heads in a daze.

Feng Du said: "I have read related classics from Zhang Geyin. In addition to the natural topography of the Yin Village, there is also a ghost with strong resentment that hinders it. Although everything in this Yin Village lives like a living person, in fact Hei Zi is living everything in his life repeatedly, and the most important thing is the ghost that has the deepest resentment. Although Hei Zi is special, he is more like a bystander. The core we are looking for is actually what makes it all exist. Li Gui, not Hei Zai, if we waste time on Hei Zai, attract the attention of that Li Gui, and scare the snake, it will make the Li Gui hide and escape. The atmosphere of this village is special, and the Li Gui hiding here is no different from ordinary ghosts , which is why I asked to stay and search carefully.”

It turned out to be like this, Qu Hai, Zhao Qingling and Mr. Liu finally figured out why Feng Du didn't touch Hei Zi when everyone felt that Hei Zai was wrong. Afterwards, the big fish hiding behind ran away, and now it seems that Brother Feng, Master, and Your Excellency are the most powerful.

In an instant, the eyes of a cat, a man, and a ghost behind them all showed stars.

Feng Du was speechless for a while, but he had thought about it since he entered Yincun, but it was only him and Mr. Liu at that time, and Mr. Liu always followed him and didn't think much about it, so Feng Du didn't have any idea of ​​explaining.

Now that the team around him has grown, so that the people following him can understand his thinking, he has no choice but to explain.

At the beginning, he also doubted whether it was Hei Zi, but the aura on Hei Zi's body was very strange, besides the yin energy, there was someone alive. He can still distinguish it from a living person.

Later, I wanted to search carefully after sending Qu Hai's team away, but I didn't expect that there would be a retrospective time, so Feng Du had no choice but to check again.

But fortunately, he probably realized that there was an intruder entering. After going back in time this time, no one cares about him like before, but a new plot appeared, which also made Feng Du feel like going along with the flow.

Leaving aside these inferences in his mind for the time being, let's say that after Feng Du explained, those guys finally stopped making noises to beat Hei Zai fatly and made something happen.

Instead, after searching around with Feng Du, he returned to the house of his sister-in-law who had provided him with a place to stay.

The sky was getting dark now, it was around dusk, and the whole Jinshui Village looked dreary and gloomy.

Even when the white light was pressing down on the last line, the faces of all the villagers standing on the street and by the door showed a strange whiteness, and their expressions were numb and dull, like old black and white photos.

Qu Hai trembled when he saw it, and quickly withdrew his gaze, staring closely at the back of Feng Du in front of him to wash his eyes.

However, he didn't know if it was a psychological effect or a hint of the light. In the interlacing of black and white light and shadow at that moment, he always felt that the face of his wise and mighty Feng Ge also showed a kind of creepy coldness and strangeness. Brother's back was elevated strangely by the light, showing an unusually tall and erratic state, as if a thick darkness had blended into his shadow.

As for the fat cat that had been beating aggressively beside Brother Feng, its body with its oily fur was in a state of severe decay, and its half-rotten cat face also showed an evil and weird smile.

Qu Hai shivered deeply, and stopped in fear for a while, until Zhao Qingling drifted over in confusion and patted Qu Hai's shoulder: "What's wrong with you?"

Only then did Qu Hai react with a shudder, he shook his head, and then looked intently, Brother Feng was still that Brother Feng, Mr. Liu was still in that nasty look, everything before seemed to be his own hallucination, he Secretly smiled, thinking that he was frightened by the environment of Jinshui Village: "It's nothing, let's go."

Zhao Qingling looked at Qu Hai for a while. Since this elite disciple of the Taoist Association became a ghost, some of his acuity has dropped a lot. Seeing that Qu Hai was fine, he didn't ask any more questions, but kept up with him. Feng Du.

The sister-in-law who provided temporary accommodation had already been waiting at the door, so let’s call her Mrs. Wang. Both Mrs. Wang and Brother Wang were waiting at the door, looking anxious and impatient.

Seeing that Feng Du and his party had returned, Mrs. Wang put a smile on her face immediately: "Brother, you are all back, I was worried that you might not find your way, and I was planning to let your Brother Wang go out to find you. It’s good to be back.”

Feng Du nodded politely towards Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang's eyes drifted towards Feng Du, and then slipped past Qu Hai, with a trace of greed in her eyes. Finally, she restrained her eyes and smiled: "Brother, our gold Water Village hasn’t had any guests for a long time. After hearing this, everyone intends to come over to eat wine and meat together. Our Jinshui Village is very closed, and there are no new personnel transactions all the year round. This is a rare visitor. It’s worth having a drink together The elders, daughters-in-law, and children in the village are all looking forward to it. In fact, we also have minority blood, and we can also sing and dance with them. If you don’t dislike it, the villagers will have a lively party tonight. After a meal, the little buddies will also talk about the things outside, let the people in our village see and see the excitement, do you think so?"

What's going on here?

Qu Hai looked at this Mrs. Wang with some confusion, and Mrs. Wang smiled at him, but there was a certain meaning in her eyes that made Qu Hai a little jealous and disgusted. He looked at Feng Du and waited for Feng Du to do something. Decide.

Feng Du smiled and nodded: "Sister-in-law is really enthusiastic, and everyone in the village is too. We can't let this kind of heart go, so let's participate."

"Well, sister-in-law and your elder brother will go to prepare now." Mrs. Wang greeted, and hurriedly entered the house to get busy.

There seemed to be other people in the room, and the jokes between Mrs. Wang and other women could be vaguely heard, as if they were preparing for an evening banquet.

That Big Brother Wang didn't leave, but stood stiffly at the door, looking at Feng Du and his party strangely, seeing Feng Du and the others going in, Big Brother Wang stopped them stiffly: "Not here anymore, your sister-in-law is talking to other women Talk about cooking and preparing dishes, we eat and drink here."

Being blocked, Feng Du was not annoyed, but just nodded, and followed Brother Wang to the other direction of the village.

This is the middle of the village, the place is empty, and the torches have been set up long ago. There are groups of men and women sitting around here. Judging from their appearance, it seems that they are already ready to have a big meal.

Everyone sat quietly, staring straight at the torches of the bonfire, and the look of hungry wolves salivating made people feel chills.

After Big Brother Wang led them over, he smiled stiffly at Feng Du, and sat quietly among the crowd.

Under the dim light of dusk, men, women, young and old sat around in a circle, and everyone's eyes were like hungry wolves. Seeing it really made people feel chills and wanted to run straight away.

However, just after Qu Hai swallowed his saliva and couldn't help moving his footsteps, the circle of people around the bonfire all looked at Qu Hai straight away, and Qu Hai froze on the spot. In the original place, with a bitter face and stammering: "Boss... Boss!"

Feng Du glanced at the crowd indifferently, and said in a low voice, "Don't provoke them for now, let's see what they are going to do."

"Okay." Qu Hai followed Feng Du with a bitter face, making up his mind that he would do whatever his boss did, resolutely not even moving his little finger more.

Fortunately, not long after, Mrs. Wang and the others came, and Mrs. Wang and a few other women came over with plates. Qu Hai and the others took a closer look, and saw that Mrs. Wang was holding empty plates, and Mrs. Wang's face was full of smiles. Smiling, he handed out the empty plates one by one, and when they reached Feng Du and the others, Qu Hai couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing with the empty plates?"

"Oh, this little brother is really impatient, so he can't help but want to eat meat?" A woman next to Mrs. Wang covered her mouth and smiled, staring at Qu Hai presumptuously with her eyes.

Qu Hai felt as if he was being stared at. He moved a little, and Mrs. Wang patted the woman next to her: "Don't make trouble, Jinhua, you are ashamed. My sister-in-law gave you this plate, of course it is for holding meat later." Yes, look at the meat, isn't it here?"

Sister-in-law Wang raised her chin, the torch was lit at some point, and two strong men with stiff faces walked over carrying an animal whose limbs were thrown up by sticks.

The animal had horns on its head, a triangular face, no hair, and a body full of strong sinews. It was struggling on the stick and whining. It looked a bit like a skinned sheep, but it sounded like a cow.

Qu Hai looked at it for a while, but didn't recognize what it was.

The two strong men put the livestock they had carried on the torch, quickly skinned it, and roasted it directly on the fire dripping with blood.

The animal was probably in extreme pain, and it struggled and screamed even harder, with a miserable whine coming out of its throat, but no matter how much it struggled, it was being rotated and evenly roasted on the fire by the strong men standing on both sides. , it didn't take long before a smell of crispy meat floated over...

The eyes of Mrs. Wang next to her were already straightened, and the corners of her mouth were drooling: "Brother, this is our Jinshui village's special roasted two-legged lamb. If you hadn’t come, we don’t know how long we would have to wait to get the meat, you have to hurry up, little brother, or you won’t be able to grab the meat.”

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang rushed over without waiting for Qu Hai to speak, and while the two-legged sheep was still whining, she dug out a piece of flesh and blood. Not long after, a group of villagers surrounded the big two-legged sheep. The mutton was dug out of shape.

Qu Hai looked at everything in front of him, his face turned blue: "Brother Feng, why do I feel a little sick, vomit—"

Feng Du narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the Two-legged sheep on the shelf, and suddenly sneered: "Two-legged sheep, heh, look what kind of Two-legged sheep that is."

He stretched out his hand to wipe Qu Hai's eyelids, and Qu Hai opened his eyes again to look, where there were two-legged sheep on the shelf, it was clear that a group of cruel and terrifying villagers were eating a strong human corpse.

And that human corpse has already been roasted to a crispy yellow color, the gouged out meat is still connected with blood tendons, and the half-gnawed face of the human corpse is clearly...

Qu Hai felt his blood rushing up. He raised his leg and was about to walk over without even thinking about it, but Feng Du stopped him before taking two steps: "Calm down, he's already dead, the scene just now was just a hallucination .”

"But...but..." Qu Hai felt his throat dry. After all, he was a teammate, and he had worked with him before. Even if there was a disagreement, he couldn't watch the other party's corpse being ruined like this.

Feng Du shook his head lightly: "If we can't find out the source of the Yin Village, even if we deal with these villagers, sooner or later the Yin Village will take shape again and bring in other innocent passers-by."

Qu Hai clenched his fists and didn't speak for a long time, just staring at the villagers sharing the meat on the shelf.

I don't know if Feng Du and the others alarmed the villagers. The villagers who were lowering their heads to share the meat suddenly raised their heads and stared straight at Feng Du, Qu Hai, and Sixth Mister Zhao Qingling.

Sister-in-law Wang's mouth was full of blood. While devouring the piece of meat in her hand, she put the plate in front of Qu Hai, stared at Qu Hai and said vaguely: "Brother, eat, why don't you eat it, eat it quickly. Fresh and hot."

Qu Hai's stomach churns for a while, but when he thought that these evil spirits were eating his own team members, he suddenly burst into anger, and stared at Mrs. Wang coldly, wishing to kill these evil spirits immediately.

Seeing this, Feng Du at the side waved his sleeves at Mrs. Wang, not knowing what was going on. Mrs. Wang seemed to be affected by some intangible thing, and after asking for no response, she stopped asking Qu Hai again. Instead, he returned to sit among the circles of villagers with the plate.

When the villagers saw Mrs. Wang coming back, they no longer stared directly at Feng Du and his party, but also lowered their heads in silence and began to share the meat and eat.

Fortunately, these villagers seemed to really want to share the meat and had no other ideas. After eating the meat on the shelf, all the villagers dispersed spontaneously.

Sister-in-law Wang also returned to normal, took them home with a smile, told Feng Du and the others to go to bed early, and set off early the next morning.

Feng Du and the others naturally agreed.

After entering the room and locking the door, Qu Hai said in a muffled voice: "Brother Feng, is this what we want to do, just watch them hide the corpses of my team members and eat them like livestock meat, maybe... Maybe some of them are still alive people."

"Boy Qu, look at their situation, maybe the upside-down meat we saw in the kitchen is your team member." Mr. Liu reminded from the side.

Qu Hai suddenly said angrily: "Impossible, I don't believe it, it's impossible for all eight of them to die."

No one in the room responded. After all, in such a weird Yin village, with so many evil spirits staring at them, how could the eight people survive for so long without Feng Du's protection, and how could they not be eaten by the evil spirit villagers.

Qu Hai could probably think of this possibility, but he just couldn't accept venting his emotions for a while, and after a while he calmed down and realized that he was impulsive, and apologized sullenly: "I'm sorry, Brother Feng, I was too impulsive. "

Feng Du patted Qu Hai's shoulder understandingly, and comforted him: "Go to rest early, it's the same if you have something to talk about tomorrow."

Qu Hai nodded and laid a mat on the ground, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Originally, he thought that he must not be able to fall asleep after experiencing such exciting things, but unexpectedly, lying on the mat and looking at the ceiling not long after, he fell asleep.

I don't know how long I have been in the dark dreamland. After a while, Qu Hai suddenly heard a voice in his ear, like the couple living in the main house were arguing.

I knew in my heart that this was a very dangerous world, and I couldn't leave Brother Feng's side, but I didn't know what was going on, that kind of curiosity overwhelmed everything, and Qu Hai stood up and opened the lock carefully. out.

The quarrel between the couple became more and more clear, Qu Hai walked carefully to the window of the main house, and squatted under the window to listen.

I heard that Mrs. Wang yelled loudly: "You dead ghost, you don't sleep in the middle of the night and want to sneak somewhere, ah, I know, you must be looking for that bitch hooves again, right?"

Mrs. Wang's man was really bored, and Mrs. Wang scolded so loudly, he just replied a few times in a muffled voice, Qu Hai couldn't hear clearly at all.

Hearing that Mrs. Wang responded loudly as if she was irritated: "What's wrong, you dead ghost, do you think I don't know, ah, you men are all stinky shit in a latrine, smelling the stinky If you don’t like it, just run to one place, you don’t want to lose any face, you don’t think it’s ashamed, the old lady thinks it’s shameful, if you go again, the old lady will peel off the skin of the hoof!”

I don't know if it's because Brother Wang doesn't like to do anything. The room slammed for a while, and Mrs. Wang howled at the top of her voice: "You dare to hit me, but you actually hit me, you shameless bastard, my mother and you I can't go on!"

Sister-in-law Wang kicked and stepped off the bed while crying, not knowing where she was going.

Qu Hai felt bad, so he straightened up quickly and wanted to leave, but Mrs. Wang happened to run out of the house and saw Qu Hai outside.

Seeing Qu Hai, Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment. Qu Hai swallowed nervously, greeted Mrs. Wang with a dry smile, and then tried to run away.

Later, Mrs. Wang said strangely: "Brother, why are you running away, my sister-in-law won't eat you, really."
