Yu Qing never imagined that these non-human villagers could still die.And these villagers probably didn't expect that the atmosphere in the village was a little dignified for a while.
"The village chief..." The child who was peeping outside Yu Qing's door before was obviously the most impatient. He looked at the old woman's rotten corpse, his face pale, "Did we do something wrong? So God is angry? "
"Shut up!" The expression of the man called the village head changed suddenly, and he even raised his hand and slapped the child hard on the head, "We won't make God angry."
Even though he knew that the child was not human, Yu Qing couldn't help raising his hand after hearing the sound of him being beaten.
Fortunately, before he made a move, Mu Yuanzhi stopped him in time and pulled him away from the crowd.
"Why?" Yu Qing struggled symbolically, "I want to teach that old bastard a lesson! Why do you even bully children?"
"Then expose that you are not an ordinary person, and complicate the original simple matter?"
Mu Yuanzhi's voice was lukewarm, and instantly brought Yu Qing back to when they first met.
Yu Qing was stared straight at him, inexplicably felt a chill behind his back, and withdrew his hand cowardly, "If you don't hit, don't hit, why are you so fierce?"
Mu Yuanzhi was silent for a while, and turned his head to look at the group of villagers, pretending not to hear.
Because Yu Qing didn't sleep last night, it sounded too childish to secretly poke and get angry today.
"What are those villagers?" Mu Yuanzhi, who didn't want to be labeled as childish, changed the subject silently, "They are neither human nor ghost, and they don't have any evil spirit on them. What exactly are they?"
In his memory, there seems to be no record related to this.
"More than 2000 years ago, the first ghost doctor appeared in the clan of celestial masters." Yu Qing's impression of this memory is not good, and it can even be said to be disgusting.
Mu Yuanzhi was thinking about the problem, so he didn't notice this subtle change in Yu Qing's expression, "Didn't the ghost doctor appear hundreds of years ago?"
"It became rampant hundreds of years ago." Yu Qing sighed, "Since the appearance of the first ghost doctor, the Tianshi clan has been strict with the disciples of the clan. Until hundreds of years ago, the Tianshi clan I don't know why the vitality was so badly injured that the ghost doctor who has been suppressed has an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Mu Yuanzhi nodded, indicating that he knew.
So Yu Qing continued: "The first ghost doctor who appeared at that time was very cruel. When the celestial masters found him, he had already tortured and killed hundreds of people. All the merits in his body were defeated by karma, and he was receiving the punishment of heaven."
And the hundred people he slaughtered were not taken away by the ghosts of the underworld.
Sudden loss of hundreds of souls, as the king of ghosts, Yu Qing couldn't ignore it, but the results of the investigation surprised him.
"That ghost doctor trapped the souls of those hundred people in the locust tree grown with his own blood."
The blood of the celestial master is fatal to the ghosts, and the locust tree cultivated by the blood of the celestial master became the shackles of the ghosts.
"The ghost doctor called those puppets made of locust wood ghost puppets." Yu Qing felt bad when he recalled the scene at that time, "They look like ghosts but not ghosts, and they have their own thoughts, but they can only be left to the ghost doctor. At the mercy of."
The key is that they don't feel that they are being manipulated like marionettes, and they even regard the ghost doctor as a god.That scene is similar to those fanatical believers who have been brainwashed now.
"The ghost doctor died in the punishment of heaven, but those ghost puppets didn't disappear, and even got out of control."
They inherited the ghost doctor's will, but because they have no humanity, they are more cruel than the ghost doctor.After the death of the ghost doctor, the out-of-control ghost puppet ran around, and there was no grass growing wherever it passed.
Back then, the Celestial Master Clan and the Underworld spent a lot of effort to capture and destroy the hundreds of ghost puppets, and the process of destroying them also went through twists and turns.
Yu Qing originally thought that he would never see this kind of thing again in his life, but he didn't expect that thousands of years later, he would see the puppet here again.
"These ghost puppets are not out of control." Yu Qing said, and looked back again, "The person who made them should be the so-called god."
This was the second time Yu Qing had heard this word.
The last time, it was in Yi Xi's diary.
"Tell me, could these ghost puppets be made by that man in black?" Yu Qing felt that the possibility was quite high.
Mu Yuanzhi nodded, "This possibility is not ruled out."
With that said, Mu Yuanzhi paused, and continued to add: "They haven't lost control, they probably haven't completed the task yet."
These ghost puppets have thoughts and know exactly what they are doing.
"Tsk, it's troublesome." Yu Qing sighed, raised his hand and pressed his forehead, and said, "The puppet's body is not easy to destroy. I'm afraid there are other things in this village."
While the two were talking, a touch of red suddenly appeared in sight.
Yu Qing looked up, and saw that Huo Jingxi was still wearing the red wedding dress from yesterday, walking slowly towards this side.
Her face was haggard and she looked like she hadn't slept all night.However, yesterday's messy clothes were tidied up, but the hair was still loosely draped over his shoulders.
"Why did you come out?" The village chief also saw Huo Jingxi in the crowd, and frowned, "Go back quickly."
Huo Jingxi turned a deaf ear to it, and even took a few steps forward, stopping only one step away from the corpse, showing a contemptuous smile.
"She's dead." Looking at the corpse, Huo Jingxi's smile gradually widened, and finally he covered his face and laughed wildly, "She's dead! This is your retribution! Don't even try to run away! Hahaha... ..."
The originally pretty face became distorted due to the gradual ferocious smile, and the villagers who were already preoccupied were even more dark-faced at this moment.
The child standing next to the village chief stared at Huo Jingxi for a long time, then raised his hand and tugged at the corner of the village chief's clothes, and said, "Village chief, the bride seems to be crazy."
This time the village chief didn't tell him to shut up, but the gloomy expression made the child afraid to continue talking.
At some point, all the villagers gathered around without saying a word.But their eyes all fell on the three outsiders who broke in.
It was the first time for Yu Qing to be saluted by so many non-ghost creatures. He raised his eyebrows and chose the village chief closest to him to stare back.
Who wouldn't stare at someone!
Bigger than the eyes, he hasn't lost yet.
"This kind of death has never occurred in our village." The village head's eyes were sharp, and his eyes moved from Huo Jingxi to Yu Qing's face, and finally fell on Mu Yuanzhi, "And the village has always been harmonious, I believe I The villagers would not do such a thing."
Yu Qing pondered what he said seemed a little wrong, and was about to beep a few words with Mu Yuanzhi in a low voice, when he heard the village chief say again: "So, the murderer must be you!"
The moment the voice fell, several middle-aged men among the villagers walked directly to Yu Qing and Mu Yuanzhi, grabbed their arms with one hand, and pressed their shoulders with the other.
Yu Qing's eyes turned cold, and just as he was about to make a move, he felt the back of his hand being tapped by Mu Yuanzhi.
He tilted his head and saw Mu Yuanzhi slightly shaking his head.
The murderous aura that had gathered just now disappeared completely, Yu Qing stared at Mu Yuanzhi and blinked, a little aggrieved.
Want to fight, eh.
"Put them in cages and keep them under strict supervision." The village chief emphasized the last four words, then glanced at Huo Jingxi again, and said sadly: "It's better for the bride to stay where you are supposed to go, otherwise If something happens, it’s not good for anyone.”
-
The so-called cage is actually a cave.
The entrance of the cave was made of steel with a crude wrought iron gate. The light outside was a bit weak, but at least it didn't make the cave fall into darkness.
"I didn't find this place before, and there is such a big back mountain in such a small village." Yu Qing said, raised his hand, grabbed a steel bar on the gate and pulled it, complaining: "I thought they really So backward, there is still steel in the end?"
Even the steel is there, why not electrify it!
He really wants to go online.
"Turning on the electricity will expose this village." Mu Yuanzhi has no addiction to mobile phones, so he doesn't quite understand Yu Qing's sadness.
But in order to prevent Yu Qing from continuing to make trouble, he thought about it and comforted him: "The sooner you end, the sooner you can leave."
Yu Qing: ...
He really wasn't comforted at all.
However, he also knew Mu Yuanzhi's comforting skills, and being able to say such words was already at his limit.So Yu Qing took a deep breath and coaxed herself to rest.
"A lot of people should have been imprisoned in this cave." Yu Qing smelled a strong stench of rotting corpses as soon as he entered, "It seems that there are quite a lot of unlucky people who got here by mistake."
The corpse smell in the cave was really strong, Mu Yuanzhi raised his hand to cover his nose, and was about to go inside to have a look, but when he lifted his foot, he kicked something hard.
Mu Yuanzhi lowered his head and saw a dirty skull.
And looking in along the skull, there are actually scattered bones everywhere.
"Damn it..." Yu Qing was stunned, "Have they never dealt with corpses before?"
Those who were imprisoned before should not be scared to death.
The two walked towards the deepest part of the cave along the traces of bones.Although I was very careful, I still stepped on a lot of bones.
And at the end of the road paved with bones, there is a mountain of corpses.
The strong resentment mixed with the dead air, and the dark air mass made the already dark cave a bit darker.
Yu Qing looked at the mountain of piled corpses with a solemn expression, "What are they trying to do after killing so many people?"
Mu Yuanzhi shook his head, and stepped on something while walking forward.He subconsciously supported the wall, and felt some strange lines with his fingers.
That touch is a bit like a nick.
"There's something on the wall." Just as Mu Yuanzhi finished speaking, Yu Qing snapped his fingers.
A group of light blue flames are clearer than the fingertips now, the light is not too bright, but the things on the wall can barely be seen clearly.
"Just let it go." Yu Qing looked at the fire and said, "The dark fire is not good enough, it's not bright enough."
Mu Yuanzhi stared at Na Huo, feeling a sense of deja vu.
But now it is still more important to understand this mural.
The murals on the walls look old, and many places have been eroded by the years and become blurred.
But I can still barely see what is engraved on it.
"This is... a sacrifice?" Yu Qing frowned as he looked at the people nailed to the cross and burned on the mural, "It's still a living sacrifice."
In the past, humans believed in ghosts and gods, and sacrifices often appeared.But only some extremist villages and tribes would use living sacrifices, and they were strongly opposed after they were discovered, and they almost never appeared later.
Yu Qing reflected on himself. In recent years, he may have been too salty, and missed so many things.
"It's not surprising." Mu Yuanzhi was also thinking, "If their purpose is to sacrifice the living, then the next sacrifice... should be Huo Jingxi as the bride."
He had seen many folk legends before, and villagers in some places believed in mountain gods.Therefore, young and beautiful girls are selected as sacrifices to the mountain gods for protection.
Sacrifice in this village is definitely not the purpose.But no matter what, Huo Jingxi as a sacrifice was very dangerous.
"Then Huo Jingxi wants to be cool?" Yu Qing hurriedly took Mu Yuanzhi's hand and walked out, "She's a little girl, no, we have to save her!"
However, they had just reached the entrance of the cave when they saw Huo Jingxi who had been standing there for some time.
"You are finally back." Huo Jingxi smiled at them, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"The village chief..." The child who was peeping outside Yu Qing's door before was obviously the most impatient. He looked at the old woman's rotten corpse, his face pale, "Did we do something wrong? So God is angry? "
"Shut up!" The expression of the man called the village head changed suddenly, and he even raised his hand and slapped the child hard on the head, "We won't make God angry."
