The anchor is dying every day [System]

Sure enough, after digging around the grave, he soon found a rotten cloth bag. When he opened it, he found that there was also a Shi Gandang inside.

He then dug around several nearby graves, and in a short time he dug up more than a dozen more Shigandangs of the same style.

There are hundreds of deserted graves in this cemetery, Xiao Yuening has no way to look at them one by one, but he can guess casually, every remaining grave is probably buried with this thing.

He put his newly dug Shi Gandang together with the two earlier ones. Sixteen or seventeen chubby stone-bodied beast-head Taishan stones gathered together. However, Xiao Yuening couldn't laugh no matter what.

The people in this village dare to bury stones in other people's graves!Does this mean to subdue the souls of these children?Are these people burying their fellow villagers, or their enemies?

But on second thought, they all used the corpses of their own village children to feed the evil gods. It is normal to be afraid that the other party will turn into resentful spirits for revenge... But this approach is still too extreme, such a sinister idea, I don’t know Did that old village chief come up with it?

Xiao Yuening pointed his mobile phone camera at the pile of stones on the ground, and asked the noisy netizens in the live broadcast room: "Old friends, you have also seen that I dug up many stones in this cemetery. This piece The cemetery is said to be a centralized burial place for children who died young in the village, but those villagers buried stones on their graves... You must know that stones are a magic weapon for suppressing ghosts and exorcising evil spirits! Do you have anything to say about this? ?”

It was very late now, but Xiao Yuening's popularity in the live broadcast room was still at an all-time high.

Although in the live broadcast just now, the scene of the monster eating the corpse was consciously blocked by Xiao Yuening and was not photographed.But just relying on the weird funeral that just ended, the mysterious ghost that appeared in the cemetery, and these Shi Gandang dug out of the grave... It is already bizarre and appetizing enough.

Barrage:

"This ghost village really lives up to its reputation. What kind of weird funeral customs are these? Even if a child who died young couldn't be buried properly, they shouldn't be suppressed, right?"

"I've heard of a superstition that strictly speaking, a child who dies prematurely is not reincarnated at the parents' house, and a debt collector is entrusted to make trouble for the family... Could it be because of this that they want to reincarnate?" deal with them like this?"

"That's not the case. I heard that children who died because they didn't reach adulthood are especially prone to resentment and become ghosts. The villagers probably feared that these children would really become ghosts, so they buried stones in their graves. right?"

"There's nothing to discuss, it might just be a custom in City B."

"Going back upstairs, I'm from City B. My hometown is not too far from Shadow Town, but we don't have this kind of saying there. If our child dies early, although he won't make a fuss, he will still find him Bury them in a good place, and don’t put anything to suppress ghosts in the grave! Otherwise, wouldn’t that be killing the children?…”

"Yeah, people with normal brains wouldn't do this, right? The people in this village are really weird. What kind of shit customs are these? It really deserves to be called Ghost Town..."

……

Netizens don't have an APP like Xiao Yuening, and they know in advance that the villagers worship the evil gods.

They will only regard all kinds of strange experiences in the live broadcast as a unique local custom, and will not think that the villagers have malicious intentions towards these dead children.

Of course Xiao Yuening would not explain to them, he let the netizens discuss endlessly, but he found a place to bury the dozen or so stones on the ground.

After doing all this, he didn't dare to stay where he was, for fear that the villagers would turn back and find him.

Looking for the path back to the village, the whole village is still quiet, the village head and those young men should have gone back to their homes.

Xiao Yuening was about to go back to the uncle's house where he was staying, when suddenly a red shadow in the shape of a little girl flashed in front of his eyes, bringing with it a gust of wind, but disappeared at the corner of the street in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Yuening was taken aback. By the time he realized it, the red figure had disappeared. After hesitating for a moment, he still chased after him.

Turning the corner of the street, the little red figure appeared in front of him again. It seemed to be leading the way deliberately. Seeing him chasing him, he dodged again and turned into another alley.

Xiao Yuening chased Hong Ying all the way through the village. He didn't dare to make too much noise to disturb the villagers. When running, he tried to stand on tiptoe as much as possible and try not to make too much noise.

The shadow led him all the way, and finally stopped at the gate of a very ordinary courtyard, and then disappeared.

The door of the small courtyard in front of me was wide open, and there was a faint light coming from inside.

Xiao Yuening walked to the gate of the courtyard, quietly stretched his head to look inside, then was startled, he recognized that the small courtyard in front of him was actually the home of the woman whose child died during the day.

The red shadow actually led him here, what was he trying to do?

Xiao Yuening saw the door of the woman's hut in the courtyard, and a familiar white lantern was hanging at this time. The door of the room was open, and there were faint voices coming from the door, and occasionally there was the sound of a woman crying sounded.

Xiao Yuening felt very curious. The people in this village were obviously very afraid of the night. When night came, they resolutely refused to go out unless necessary, just like the uncle of the house he borrowed from.

Then who would be the one who came to the woman's house in the middle of the night and was talking to her?

Could it be that the villagers came to persuade her because they were afraid that she would be overwhelmed?

Filled with doubts, Xiao Yuening walked into the empty courtyard lightly, and slowly approached the room where the sound kept coming out.

After getting closer, he could gradually hear what the people in the room were saying.

I only heard the woman whose child died said fiercely: "My child is gone! I have no way to survive. It's nothing special. The big deal is to smash the statue. I tell you, I'm going to fight! I know what's in there Stuff! I..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuening felt his heart pounding, and immediately pricked up his ears, waiting for the next words. He felt that what this woman was about to say seemed very important, and it should be related to some secret of the evil god.

It's just that before the woman could speak, an old voice immediately yelled at her: "You're going to die! Shut up, and don't pull me if you're going to die!"

He was still not at ease after saying this, and threatened in a low voice, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will call someone right now. After all, didn't you say that you don't want to live anymore? I will find someone to take you there right away." Serving the mountain god on the mountain, don't you want to see your child? After you go, you can see the mother and child reunited..."

The words spoken by the old man's voice were sinister and vicious, making people believe without doubt that he would really do what he said, and immediately put the crying The woman was stunned, and her crying gradually died down because of fear.

After a few seconds of silence in the room, the old male voice hummed in a low voice, as if he was very satisfied with the effect of what he said.

After he paused for a while, he turned around and slowly started to comfort him: "...I know that your child is gone, and I feel unhappy, but why don't you think about it? If you don't rely on the mountain god, you are a widow People, can you raise your child well and send him to school? Since your child is involved in this matter, then you can only accept your fate. Otherwise, what can you do? You don’t think about your child’s father, isn’t it because he betrayed you? Killed the mountain god, tried to escape from our village, and lost his life in the end?"

At this time, Xiao Yuening had already recognized the person who was talking through his voice, this was the village head.

Unexpectedly, this old man was so energetic. He had just left the cemetery with his front feet, and then came to find the child's mother to do ideological work with his back feet.

The woman heard the voice of the village head softened a little, and because of her fear of being threatened to be given to the mountain god, she also lessened a little, and began to sob softly again, and said in a low voice: "But, my child didn't Now, what should I do in the days to come? Huh..."

The village head said impatiently: "What should I do? Although your child is gone, don't you still live well? Our village is blessed by the gods. As long as you don't betray the mountain god, Good days are still to come, your baby is gone, maybe the mountain god will compensate you..." He paused, as if remembering something, then changed the topic, and then said: "Do you still remember grandson?" Mother-in-law? When she was young, six children died in a row. She is no worse than you? But so what? The mountain god compensated her and let her live to 137 years old without any illness or disaster. Look at these people from ten miles and eight villages Old man, how many people are more blessed than her? Is this not enough?"

The woman's crying still didn't stop: "But so what? I don't have children, who will take care of me when I get old? Isn't it just waiting to survive?"

The village chief snorted, and said stiffly: "As long as you are honest and don't cause trouble, the village will always have a meal for you."

The woman sobbed again, but she didn't speak again, and she didn't know whether she was still reluctant or agreed.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuening knew that the conversation was basically over, so he tiptoed away from the side of the house, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Sure enough, as soon as he left the small courtyard, the village chief came out with a lantern on his back foot. The woman who had just died followed behind him, lowering her head and wiping her tears while sending him out, waiting for the village chief to leave. After that, she quickly closed the courtyard door and locked it, then turned and entered the house.

Soon, her yard, like other villagers in the village, became quiet again.

Xiao Yuening hid aside, watching from afar as the village chief walked towards his house with the white lantern in hand.

This old man's hair is pale, the wrinkles on his face are as dry as dried tofu skin, his eyes are cloudy, and the age spots on his face are layered on top of each other. If you just look at his appearance, Xiao Yuening feels that he is at least 90 years old Years up.

However, his walking posture is straight and his legs are very agile, not at all like an old man whose body is half buried in the ground.

There are a lot of old people in this village, followed by middle-aged people and young people, and children are the least, almost reaching the level of Fengmao Lingjiao.

When Xiao Yuening was wandering around the village during the day, he also met many old people who were in the same situation as the village chief.They all look very old from the face, but they are very tough from the body, as if they can live another ten or twenty years, making people feel that they are not as old as they look.

So, this is the benefit that the evil god gave these villagers?Ignoring children who continue to die young or even reduced to food, and only care about their own longevity, this kind of welfare is also terrible.

Whether it is the evil god being enshrined or the villagers who have given their faith, they are all terrifying.

After Xiao Yuening watched the village chief leave, he turned around and walked towards the mountain temple in the center of the village again.

When eavesdropping just now, he was very concerned about the two words the woman said in a hurry. At that time, she said, "It's a big deal to smash the statue", and said that she "knows what's in there".

After the woman finished saying this, the village chief's attitude changed drastically, and his voice became more vicious, even threatening him, as if what the woman was saying made him feel very angry and scared.

So what is he afraid of?Is it because he is afraid that the woman will smash the idol and offend the mountain god?Or are you afraid of something hidden in the statue in her mouth?

If there is something in the statue, what exactly is it?He is very curious.

Dark night.

Xiao Yuening walked alone on the deserted village road, and walked quickly towards the direction of the Zhongshan Temple in his memory.

The night wind was cool on the face, with a sticky damp feeling. The whole village was almost eerily quiet at this moment. The closer you got to the mountain temple, the heavier this terrible dead silence felt.

After the temple gate gradually appeared in the field of vision, Xiao Yuening slowly stopped walking.

This mountain temple still looks the same, there is no gate, and the dark doorway is wide open to the coming people, it looks weird and gloomy, and there is an unusual weirdness everywhere.

Xiao Yuening knew that the monster that was suspected to be the toad spirit was not in the temple at all at this time, so he was not afraid at all. He jumped up the steps in two or three steps, turned on the flashlight and walked into the temple.

After entering, he immediately looked at the statue standing tall in the temple.

The statue is still the same one, with a mountain with long horns on its head, wearing armor, holding a fork in the left hand and a knife in the right, looking majestic.

But in Xiao Yuening's eyes, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the statue was weird, and he always felt that there was a strange smell in it, very evil.

"Forget it, forget it."

Now that things have happened, he can't be allowed to back down.

Putting the ghost blade back into his waist, Xiao Yuening stepped onto the altar, stretched out his hand and pushed the huge statue hard, pushing it down from the altar, the statue hit the ground and let out a "boom—— " With a series of loud bangs, the whole body was instantly smashed to pieces.

And when it was smashed to pieces, a dusty object fell directly from its heart, rolled on the ground twice, and then remained still.

"Ahhh!!" Before Xiao Yuening could go over to check, there was an extremely shrill screaming sound from the back mountain. The sound was high-pitched and thin, and it didn't sound like a human being could make, but the sound The great anger contained in it was conveyed very clearly.

No, the monster was alarmed!

Xiao Yuening didn't dare to delay any longer, he jumped off the altar, and quickly grabbed the object that fell out from the statue's chest. The object was light and weightless after he got it, and the surface was extremely rough and shriveled, like some kind of sun-dried object. Dried farm goods for storage.

Looking at the thing in his hand suspiciously, Xiao Yuening saw the back of the thing curled up together, and finally recognized: what kind of dry product is this thing, it is clearly a dried toad corpse!

"What the hell? Why are toads and toads sealed in god statues?" Xiao Yuening was puzzled, but there was no extra time for him to think so much, because at this moment he had seen that the gods were far away from him. Several households closest to the temple have continued to light up their lights.

So let's run first!

Without saying a word, Xiao Yuening grabbed the mummified toad and was about to run away, but he had just run a few steps when a villager rushed towards him with a hoe.This person was naked on the upper body, but was actually wearing a pair of women's large floral trousers on the lower body. He probably didn't even have time to put on his clothes after hearing the noise. He just grabbed a pair of trousers and rushed over. He didn't even know whether the trousers belonged to him or his wife. .

This scene was supposed to be ridiculous, but when Xiao Yuening saw the angry and hateful expression on the man's face when he looked at him, he couldn't laugh no matter what.

It's over, it seems that this time there is really going to be a conflict...

He was about to turn around and run in another direction, but a few villagers rushed out from the other side. These people all had grim expressions, and they were still holding something in their hands. It was obvious that they didn't want to let him leave safely.

The left and right exits were all blocked, Xiao Yuening could only back away with a dry smile, until he reached the entrance of the mountain temple: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Don't get excited, everyone, talk about things..."

As he spoke, taking advantage of the dim light, he stuffed the mummified toad corpse into his pocket, and with the other hand, he quietly pressed the ghost blade on his waist.

"Misunderstood you bastard!" The first villager who rushed over held a hoe and roared at him with a ferocious face, "What did you do? What did you do! Why did the mountain god suddenly get angry!"

Xiao Yuening looked innocent: "I didn't do anything? I was just curious and wanted to visit this temple. Who knew...the statue suddenly fell down."

"The idol fell?!"

The villagers around him collectively gasped and looked at each other. Xiao Yuening saw an unconcealable fear in their eyes.

At this moment, there was another flame coming from behind these people, and many villagers who lived far away also rushed over one after another. The leaders of them were still holding torches, and a familiar old face covered with wrinkles was hidden by the flames. Gradually appeared in the eyes of everyone.

"The village chief! The village chief is here..." Seeing the village chief approaching, the villagers around Xiao Yuening breathed a sigh of relief as if they had found their backbone, and made way for the village chief to come closer. , looking at Xiao Yuening face to face.

The light of the torches illuminated the dark gate of the Mountain God Temple, and also made the mess in the temple very clear to the eyes of everyone outside the gate.

Looking at the shattered statue, the villagers seemed to have seen some terrible scene, and they all took two steps back in fear.

"Broken! The idol is really broken!"

The eyes of the villagers looking at Xiao Yuening at this moment are full of anger and hatred. Several young people even have red eyes, and their hands holding the hoes are eager to move, as if they wish to use the hoes in their hands to hoe him. head.

Xiao Yuening was stared at with this kind of gaze, and he was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He had to exert all his strength to suppress his urge to draw his sword.

At such a tense moment of anger, if he dared to pull out the ghost blade, the villagers who were about to lose their minds in front of him might be stimulated to rush forward, and he would be seriously injured if he didn't die.

Racking his brains to think of an excuse to get him out of the way, Xiao Yuening tentatively said: "Look...how about this? How much is this statue of yours, I will double the compensation to you. Or, I will buy another one for you It’s okay to come back with the same statue! To be honest, I really didn’t mean it, it’s the first time I’ve come into close contact with something like a statue, and I’m curious..."

Before Xiao Yuening could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the village chief.

The old man put his hands in his hands and stared straight at him, with a terribly gloomy expression on his face: "Outsiders, even if you want to see the statue, you can come here during the day. I think people in our village don't like to see the statue during the day." Didn't you stop you from entering the temple? Why did you come to see it in the middle of the night? Didn't the sixth uncle who rented your room tell you not to go out in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Yuening guessed that the sixth uncle was probably the uncle of the house he was staying at, and he laughed dryly when he heard this: "That's right, I'm more of a thrill seeker... I came here so late because I actually wanted to take some pictures that are more interesting." Scary photos, to go back to show off to our friends... There is really no other purpose!"

But the village chief didn't believe a word of his explanation. He stared at Xiao Yuening coldly, but the words that came out of his mouth seemed to be squeezed out one by one: "From the moment you entered the village, I found that Something is wrong, you are not at all the same as those young people who used to come to the village to play. You neither go to the fields to take pictures, nor buy native chicken specialties from the village. You'll stay here for a while, sooner or later... Huh, I didn't expect to knock down all our idols!" At the end of the speech, the old man's cloudy old eyes turned red, and his face was terribly distorted.

A young man standing next to the village head couldn't hold it anymore. He held the hoe in his hand, glared at Xiao Yuening fiercely, and shouted: "Village head! Why are you talking nonsense with him? Just tie him up and hand him over." It will be a matter of time before the mountain god disposes of it!"

Xiao Yuening took another two steps back vigilantly, but what he thought in his heart was: sooner or later?What is sooner or later?Could it have something to do with those donkey friends who suddenly disappeared in the village and turned into fools when they came back?So, what happened to those people is really related to the evil god in the village?Maybe these villagers in front of them are still accomplices!

"Quickly tie him up!" the village chief yelled through gritted teeth, his drooping old eyes full of viciousness.

Several young and strong villagers were about to rush forward when they heard the news. Xiao Yuening was startled, and quickly drew out his ghost blade, pointed at the person in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Don't move! I'll kill whoever comes! If you don't believe me, try it!" try!"

The few villagers who were about to rush forward saw that he had a knife in his hand, so they didn't dare to go forward for a while, but they still stared at him fiercely, and the hoes in their hands were also held tightly, as if they would rush over at any time Killed him.
