You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 354 The Mountain God is Angry, Everyone Prepares for the Sacrifice Ceremony
When this villager talked about the miraculous experience of the dead grass,
The whole person seemed to be injected with endless energy, dancing and gesticulating.
His face flushed with excitement and his eyes were shining with fanaticism.

He continued to talk non-stop: "Since then,

Every household in the village began to grow this deadly grass.

Hey, you know what, there is a smart guy in our village,
I immediately discovered the hidden business opportunities therein.

Just imagine, if we could grow a lot of this dead grass,

And then take it outside to sell, that would be huge!
This thing is definitely more valuable than those thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!
If this really happens, our village will have the chance to become the richest village on the entire Blue Planet!

Then, we won’t have to live such a hard life anymore.”

Speaking of this, the villagers' eyes were full of longing.

"But yeah, it's strange."

The villagers frowned, a trace of doubt appeared on their faces: "I don't know if the land in our village is too barren.

The villagers came up with many ideas.
But there is no way to grow this dead grass on a large scale.

Every time I planted it, the amount that grew was pitifully small.
It's like God deliberately doesn't let us get rich."

Every young person present heard these words.
They couldn't help but feel creepy, and a chill ran up from the soles of their feet to their hearts.

After all, they are students who have received professional education in school.

In today's world, most courses revolve around strange and evil spirits.

They know very well that in this world, the more miraculous the things are,
Often the greater the danger,
Just like the beautiful poppy flower, it looks delicate but is actually deadly.

Listening to the villager's story, they looked at the plants that were looming in the night.

I saw pale skulls growing one by one on slender stems.

Swaying gently in the eerie wind, they looked like a group of ghosts from hell dancing silently.

These skeletons exude a sinister aura.
It seems that every shake is telling people the story of death.

Such a horrible thing,

They could actually kill a person who was on the verge of death and even the barefoot doctor in the village had sentenced him to death.
He was rescued by a method that was almost beyond belief.

There must be serious problems here, and they are so big that they are beyond imagination.

In this world, many strange products actually have various seemingly tempting functions.

In the beginning,
They are like Pandora's boxes emitting mysterious light.

Attracting people from all over the world.

People are frantically searching for all kinds of strange products, like moths to a flame.

At the beginning, everything seemed to be calm.
Nothing bad happened.

As time goes by, when those evils hidden in the dark begin to erupt little by little,
Many people woke up from their dreams and felt deep fear.

Even in this case,

There are still many people who are blinded by interests.

Risking their lives to buy and sell these strange products,
But for most people, they are unwilling to do so anyway.
I dare not even bear such terrible negative consequences.

Those disasters caused by strange products are like nightmares.
It lingers in people's minds and becomes an indelible shadow.

"Who brought this dead grass here? How did you find it?"

Lai Yuyao frowned slightly, his eyes sharp as an eagle.
She keenly perceived the crux of the problem.
That look will penetrate the souls of the villagers and find out the truth of the matter.

"What exactly are you doing? Are you here to investigate us?"

The excited smiles on the villagers' faces disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Like a candle flame blown out by a cold wind.

On the one hand, Lai Yuyao's questioning tone was too harsh and aggressive.
Every word was like a stone, hitting his heart hard.

on the other hand,

A truth passed down by the older generation suddenly flashed through his mind.
It was like a flash of lightning that split the night sky, waking him up suddenly.

That is, this magical treasure is like a piece of glittering gold.

In this dark world, it is too easy to attract the greedy eyes of others.
It is very likely to bring them a devastating disaster.

After all, the effect of this dead man grass is too powerful.

Powerful enough to drive anyone crazy.

Originally, the villagers had a dream of getting rich.
They thought that they could make the village prosperous by using this dead man's grass.

But after repeated discussions and countless attempts,

They found that this dead grass was not only impossible to grow on a large scale, but also had a pitifully low survival rate.
Just like a delicate flower struggling to survive in the strong wind.

So the villagers decided to keep this secret.
It is only left for the people in the village to use, making it the village's unique life-saving talisman.

Just now, when the villagers saw those red, shiny bills,
For a moment, it was as if I was possessed by a ghost. I got so excited that I said so many things that I shouldn't have said.

At this moment, seeing the serious expressions of these young people,

There seems to be some unknown purpose hidden in his eyes.
The villagers felt like they had been thrown into a state of confusion and were filled with regret.

He secretly blamed himself: If I had known earlier, I should not have been greedy and accepted these red bills!
This is bad, it might bring disaster to the village.

The villager suddenly became nervous and looked around in panic like a frightened rabbit.

He found that no one in the village had noticed the situation here yet.

So he stepped back hastily, ready to close the door.
Keeping these uninvited guests out seems to be enough to keep the danger out by just closing the door.

At this moment, suddenly, a shrill scream, like a sharp dagger,

Sharply cutting through the night sky from the other side of the village,

It seems particularly abrupt and terrifying in the quiet night.

The sound seemed to be the roar of evil spirits coming from the depths of hell.

Full of pain, despair and fear.

The young men and women present were caught off guard and were frightened by the sudden scream.

Some timid girls even screamed "Wow".

The sound echoed in the night sky, causing panic among more people.

Even the villager who was about to close the door was frightened to the point that his legs went limp and he trembled.

His eyes widened in fear, and he looked around in panic like a frightened deer.

Then he quickly slammed the door shut.

Seeing this, Lai Yuyao immediately made a quick gesture.

The burly and sharp-eyed bodyguard beside her, Yu Yingjie,
I understood her meaning instantly.

Yu Yingjie rushed forward.
He used his strong and powerful arms to hold the door firmly.

Lai Yuyao was determined. She knew that this villager was the key to finding a breakthrough.

Naturally, I wouldn't let him close the door.

Moreover, the sudden scream must be unusual.
Maybe it is closely related to this strange village and the terrifying dead grass.

The secret behind this is like a huge mystery, waiting for them to uncover.

"Let's go and take a look at where the screaming came from."

Chu He said solemnly: "Other villagers in the village were also alarmed.

From the current perspective, this may be a good thing.
At least it shows that the villagers in this village seem to be normal. "

Lai Yuyao came to her senses after hearing Chu He's words. She looked around.

I found that many residents in the village had opened their doors and windows.

The dim light shone through the house, casting patches of light and shadows on the ground in front of the door.

Then, one by one, the villagers hurried out of their houses.
They looked nervous and hurried towards the direction where the screams came from.

Among them, some timid villagers opened the doors and windows.
As if frightened by the unknown fear outside, he quickly closed the doors and windows.

However, through the bright glass, one could see figures moving back and forth in the house.
Obviously, he was curious about what was happening outside.

Eager to know what was going on,

And because of fear, I dare not come out.
So I could only stick close to the doors and windows.
I pricked up my ears, trying to catch the slightest movement.

"Then go and take a look."

Lai Yuyao nodded slightly.

Yu Yingjie received the order and immediately retracted his hand.

The villager saw this,
Without hesitation, he slammed the door shut.
The sound of the door closing was particularly loud in the quiet night.

"Are we going over now?"

Someone asked quietly, with a hint of hesitation in his voice.

"The most urgent task now is to find a breakthrough to solve the problem.
Perhaps this time, things will either be dangerous or bring about a turnaround. "A calm voice sounded in the crowd, and everyone nodded slightly.

The fear in my heart seemed to have lessened a little.

"Or we can call the defense team again." Someone else suggested.

"What is the use?

Can you tell whether the person answering the phone is a real person or a weird creature?

Moreover, many strange beings can cause harm to people invisibly and without form.
No one knows how to continue dialing that number.
Will it have unexpected negative impacts on the people who make the calls? "

This rebuttal made everyone fall into deep thought.
Yes, in this weird environment, everything becomes unpredictable.

I don't know if it's because I've been in this terrifying atmosphere for too long.
After being extremely tense, people's nerves actually begin to adapt in a different way.

Many young men and women have begun to calm down.
Their eyes were no longer as panicked as before, but instead revealed a calmness.

Once your mind calms down,
Things started to become clearer and more logical, just like finding the direction to move forward in the fog.

Chu He walked in front with steady steps, like a fearless pioneer.

The others all followed behind him, forming a long line.

Sun Canxing held Qi Shulei's arm and followed closely behind Chu He. He was the closest to him.

Along the way, they met many villagers from this village.
Every villager's face was filled with fear and trepidation.
The expression was like that of a frightened bird, with fear and anxiety in the eyes.

even,

They didn't pay much attention to the large group of strange young men and women who suddenly appeared in the village.
There were more terrifying things happening before their eyes that occupied their entire minds.

Chu He, Sun Canxing and Lai Yuyao were all keenly aware of this.

The three of them frowned slightly almost at the same time, and their doubts became even greater.

Soon, they arrived at a house located in the central location of Xia Shui Village.

This residence is magnificent and its construction is quite grand.

At first glance, you can feel a different kind of style.

Every detail reveals the owner's relatively wealthy family background.

This is a three-story building, built entirely with brick and stone structure, the bricks and stones are extremely solid.

The window frames on each floor are carved with intricate patterns.
The patterns are lifelike, with soaring dragons, spreading phoenixes, and blooming peonies.
It shows a very high level of craftsmanship.

At the gate, a pair of tall and majestic stone lions squatted majestically.

Like a loyal guard, it guards this home, and its majestic aura is intimidating.

What is particularly eye-catching is that there is a pair of bright red double happiness characters pasted on the door frame.
Like two burning flames, they exude a unique charm in the night.

The characters were written in a vigorous and powerful style, with every stroke carefully crafted by the calligrapher.

The edges of the double happiness characters are carefully outlined with glittering gold edges.
Under the dim light, it looks even more dazzling.
It reflects the unique festive atmosphere of the festival.

On the ground in front of the door, firecracker debris and dirt were mixed together, with some red paper pieces scattered here and there.

The edges of these pieces of paper are slightly curled, and the color has become dull.
But even so, people can still see the remaining colors and shapes.
They could vaguely be identified as traces left behind by the explosion of firecrackers.

That was the last trace of the once lively celebration, silently telling of the happy times of the past.

There seemed to be a faint smell of fireworks in the air.

It was a unique smell, a mixture of sulfur and gunpowder,

There is also a faint burnt aroma.

All these signs indicate that this family had just held a grand wedding not long ago.

The newlyweds are immersed in the happy and sweet married life.

However, before the afterglow of joy completely faded,

When it lingered over this family's house like a wisp of smoke,
The sudden, sharp and shrill scream was like an extremely sharp dagger.

The silence was ruthlessly broken. The voice was like the voice of a ghost from the depths of hell.
Echoing in the night sky, every note is like the footsteps of death.
It was chilling and instantly dragged this beautiful atmosphere into an endless abyss of darkness.

At this moment, many curious villagers have gathered outside the gate.

The villagers were whispering in groups of three or five.
They lowered their voices, as if afraid of disturbing something.

Or they would whisper to each other in pairs, with curiosity and anxiety flashing in their eyes.

Their faces were filled with all kinds of expressions.
There was surprise, confusion, and fear.

From time to time, people in the crowd raised their heads and looked at the pair of red double happiness characters that looked even more eerie in the night.

In the breeze, the red double happiness character swayed gently.

The bright red color is reflected in the dim light.

It was so dazzling, the color was like fresh blood.
It may flow down from the door frame at any time, giving people a strong visual impact and psychological shock.

The red color is no longer just a symbol of festivity.
Under the dual effects of the pitch-black night and people's fear,

It has been given another meaning.

A kind of fear and anxiety that can touch the depths of people's hearts.

Whenever a gust of night wind blows, the red double happiness character will sway gently.
The dazzling scarlet flickers in people's eyes.

It's like a silent warning, and also like a call from the dark world.

Everyone who witnessed this scene could not help but feel a chill down their spine.

A chill ran up from the soles of my feet to my heart, and my heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, almost jumping out of my throat.

When Chu He and others arrived, as soon as they saw the scene inside,
Everyone gasped in shock, and the hair on their bodies stood up.

Deep in the courtyard of this three-story building,

A gorgeously decorated wedding bed stood there quietly.

The main color of the wedding bed is bright red, almost blindingly bright.
The rich red color seemed to be dyed with blood.
Gives people a strong visual impact.

The silk quilt was embroidered with intricate gold thread patterns.
The golden thread flickered faintly in the candlelight.
The patterns are exquisite, with mandarin ducks symbolizing love and dragons and phoenixes symbolizing auspiciousness.
Every detail is handled just right, and it should be a symbol of joy and happiness.

But at this moment, the wedding bed was shrouded in a suffocating and cold atmosphere.

On the bed, a young man and woman lay quietly.

Their faces have long lost their former vitality and vigor.
Instead, there was a horrific death.

His face was covered with blood bubbles of various sizes.
Some of the blood blisters had burst, and blood was flowing down his cheeks.

Leaving dark red stains on the sheets.

Their eyes were rolled up, staring at the sky.

His eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness.
It was like seeing something extremely horrifying at the last moment of life.

Their bodies lay in a twisted and unnatural position on the marriage bed.
The limbs are at odd angles.

It was like it was being manipulated by an invisible pair of hands, making it unbearable to look at.

There was a circle of white candles placed around the wedding bed.

They burned quietly, emitting a faint and eerie light.

The flames of these candles are pale white.
The color was like ghost fire from hell, without any temperature, only endless coldness.

In the night, the flames flickered gently.

It adds a bit of eerie atmosphere to the whole scene.

Occasionally the flame would suddenly jump,
The momentary brightness is like an eye suddenly opening in the darkness, peeking at everything around, making people terrified.

What’s even more terrifying is that a group of crows gathered around the wedding bed.

They stand densely on the branches, eaves and every corner of the courtyard.
The scene was like a black ocean, tightly surrounding the entire courtyard.

It makes people feel like they are falling into a dark abyss.

The feathers of these crows shimmered in the night.
The luster is like a cold light in the darkness, revealing a mysterious and evil aura.

Their eyes sparkled with greed and curiosity, all looking towards the wedding bed.

The eyes are like looking at a feast,
It also seemed like a mysterious and terrifying sacrificial ceremony was taking place.

Sometimes they let out low and hoarse cries that echoed in the night sky like the whispers of death.
Every syllable is like an icy knife, cutting through people's eardrums and making them feel chilled.

Occasionally, their wings would flap gently, raising clouds of dust.

The dust was flying in the dim light, making the whole scene even more hazy and eerie, as if you were in an unreal and terrifying world.

"Who puts a circle of white candles around a wedding bed? That's too scary."

A girl spoke in a trembling voice, her face was as pale as paper and her eyes were full of fear.

"The mountain god is angry. Everyone prepare for the sacrificial ceremony."

At this moment, an old but unquestionable voice suddenly came from behind everyone.
It made everyone present shudder.
