The third family in the third alley behind Chengdong Street, they stood at the door, looking at the house in front of them with weird faces, it felt like the ordinary house in front of them had been abruptly changed into a temple.

The main hall was changed into a large hall, and a statue of a woman lying on her side was placed in the middle. I saw that the statue was carved so lifelike, as if it was alive.The statue does not have the feeling of pity for the world that the gods have at all, but a very charming smile, with slightly narrowed eyes, although it is a statue, it feels a little soul-stirring.

There are not as many people here as they thought, but there is a kind of piety and fanaticism on the faces of the people here.Such a large group of them is particularly conspicuous here, and people around them look at them one after another, with distorted faces and somewhat empty eyes.

Xie Si and the others felt a little numb when they saw it. Why do people here feel so weird? What kind of fanatical organization is this?

"Are you new here? Why don't you kowtow to Meng Gu to pray for blessings?" A plain-looking man walked over and asked aggressively.

They looked at each other, some of them didn't know what kind of situation was going on here.

"I...we are new here. I don't know what the rules are here." Xie Si said softly on his face. With his face, he looked a little pitiful, and the others looked at him with admiration again. he.

"Is that so?" Hearing these words, the man's face softened, "Everyone who comes here must be devout to Menggu, otherwise it's better not to come here."

"How can you say that? Didn't Menggu entrust us with a dream? She told us not to do this. She just wants to help everyone and doesn't need the pious believers who come here!" The other man's face was a little angry, as if That person defiled something like that.

"Even if Menggu doesn't force the believers to do this, we can't just let it go. I do all this for Menggu's benefit, and she can't give it completely for free."

"Menggu doesn't need you to do this, you will make Menggu lose a lot of followers."

"Praying with a purpose like this will only make Menggu suffer."

Just saying that, the two of them quarreled inexorably.

Seeing them like this, Xie Sifeng was a little confused, did he meet Meng Gu's Du Wei?

While they were arguing, the rest tried to persuade them to fight, and they left quietly.

When they reached the entrance of the alley, an old man suddenly came out from the corner. Xie Si, who was walking in the front, was startled, took a step back, and bumped into Gu Fan behind him.

"Old man, what are you doing?" Xie Si patted his chest, feeling a little terrified.

"You went to that house?" The old man's voice was hoarse, and his expression was very serious.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Xie Si was a little confused about who this Menggu was, and why it was so weird. This Buddha statue was a little weird.

"Heh, it's just a prostitute. After committing suicide, he will still have this kind of glory. It's really pretending to be a ghost." The old man's face was a little disdainful.

"Prostitute? What's the situation? Old man, can you tell us more carefully?" Hearing this news, Xie Si's ears perked up, as if he had heard some secret words.

"That's a prostitute. She went to the Hongxiang Building three years ago, and she became an oiran in just one year. It's really amazing!" The old man seemed to have remembered something, and his disdainful expression changed. It must be a little sour.

"Old man, why are you so clear!" Xie Si was a little surprised, how could an old man be so clear about this matter.

"Oh, because I was a regular customer of that prostitute before, I blame that bitch for causing me to become like this and ruin my family!"

The old man's expression is really lively. In a short period of time, the old man's expression changed several times. Those who didn't know it thought that the old man was performing here... changing his face.

"How do you say that?" Xie Si resisted the strange feeling and continued to ask.

"I used to be considered a respectable person here, and a new prostitute came to Hongxianglou... She said she would follow me as long as I wanted, and I poured all my money into it. When she heard that I didn't After the money, my face changed, and in the last night, I became like this..."

"Became like this? Didn't you turn out to be like this?"

There is nothing weird about this old man now, just like ordinary old people, with snow-white hair and beard, wrinkles on his face, and some age spots, but the old man's actions seem to be quite neat, no wonder He still went to places like brothels three years ago.

The old man laughed strangely: "This look? I used to be a handsome young man, but I became so old overnight!"

"Your age this year?"

"I should be at the age of strength at this time, not yet the age of Dayan!" The old man still had some pride on his face.

The corner of Xie Si's mouth twitched a little. The age of strength is 40 years old, and the age of great evolution is 50 years old. That is to say, this old man is between [-] and [-] years old. Although he is not so old, he is definitely not young either, okay!

"I've turned white all night, isn't that old?" The eyes of the old man at this time were full of unacknowledged humiliation.

"Do the math," Xie Si hurriedly echoed to appease him when he saw that the old man seemed to have blown his hair.

"In short, you have to remember what I said. She hanged herself a year ago and turned into some kind of Menggu for no apparent reason. She plays tricks here all day long. You'd better not... ah!"

Before the old man could finish his words, it melted like ice cream in summer. After a while, the person in front of Xie Si and the others disappeared and turned into a skeleton.

"This... this... this..." Everyone was shocked, what's going on?

It was the first time they should have seen how the people here died, their eyes were wide open, and they couldn't help covering their mouths.

"Go to the government quickly," Gu Fan immediately arranged for a man to report to the government, and the man ran out quickly.

After coming here for a while, the man ran over with a bunch of yamen servants: "Yes, it's them."

Xie Si felt a little strange why the group of yamen servants came straight towards them, but soon he knew why.

"I finally caught you murderers," one of the yamen servants bluffed. The person who reported the case just now didn't say that there were so many of them. A total of four yamen servants came, not as many as the other party.

"What? Murderer?" Several people were shocked, why did they suddenly become murderers?

The man who was sent out to find the yamen servant was called Tian Qing, and he was usually unknown in the team, but he said to the yamen servant: "It's them."

"What's going on? Didn't you report to the authorities? Why would they say we are murderers?" Xie Si asked in surprise, suddenly having a bad premonition in his heart.

The man asked strangely: "Didn't he die right in front of you?"

"You were among us at that time, right? If you wanted to say that we were murderers, wouldn't you be too?" Xue Nian was a little angry.

"How come, why am I among you." Tian Qing's face was a little dazed, as if he didn't know what happened before.

"Be honest, since you were among them just now, why don't you come with us!" The yamen servant showed an angry face, but because there were few people and he was afraid of this way of killing people, he didn't dare to be particularly stubborn.

"What should we do?" A girl looked anxious.

"What else can I do? Let's follow along. No matter whether it's good or bad, this is the only way." If this group of government servants escapes, they may be wanted all the way, and it will be more difficult for them to find clues, but if they follow If the yamen servants go to the yamen, there may be a chance of survival.

"Let's go." A yamen servant was also relieved to see their cooperation.

After arriving at the yamen, the county magistrate was also very helpless when he saw them: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you are not the real murderers, but I still need to interrogate the ins and outs of this incident. You must cooperate. "

Seeing the county magistrate's expression, Xie Si and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but Tian Qing was a little unconvinced: "Why can't they kill the person, I clearly saw that person die in front of them."

"This..." The magistrate looked at the others suspiciously.

Gu Fan slashed Tian Qing unconscious with a knife: "Sorry, he couldn't accept it all at once when he saw someone die in front of him. There's something wrong here." He pointed to his head as he said.

"May I ask why the county magistrate didn't suspect us as murderers?" Xie Si asked strangely. Generally speaking, the county magistrate should be the first to suspect them as murderers when they hear such things, and judge the case earlier for the sake of business.

"I'm not an indiscriminate official," the county magistrate looked upright, but soon lost his temper. He shouted back the other people in the lobby before continuing, "Actually, I'm telling you, you didn't discover this small town. Is it getting weirder?"

"??? It's getting weirder and weirder? How do you say that?" After coming here for so many days, Xie Si didn't find anything weird except that people died from time to time.

"That's right, you ladies and gentlemen are not familiar with the world, and you probably haven't seen this small town before. It's easy to understand if you don't know its changes." The county magistrate sighed and his expression became very sad.

"The small town now looks the same as before, but I always have a feeling that this small town has really changed, and it has changed since a year ago."

"Changed? Has anything changed in this small town?" Xie Si asked.

"It became a dead city isolated from the world."

"What?" Everyone asked in unison.

"It's isolated from the world? Didn't we just come here?" The faces of Xie Si and the others were full of doubts. They clearly came here not long ago, how could it be said that this place has become a dead city isolated from the world?
