I created the Gods

Jiang Ming and others were a little scared by this, but Luo Wan found it very interesting.

A village that worships some kind of god, villagers who are kind during the day and fierce at night, everything makes Luo Wan feel that he seems to have found a hunting ground suitable for him.

The train traveled for a long time, and it was not until the afternoon of the next day that it arrived at Jiulian City, the destination of this trip.

The road to Zhengde Village is not easy to walk. First, you need to take a bus to Yangping Township and then take a bull cart from Yangping Township to Zhengde Village.

It was already evening when everyone arrived at Zhengde Village. Strangely, the sky was not completely dark yet, but the streets of Zhengde Village were already empty, and the doors of each household were closed. Luo Wan and others also vaguely felt that the villagers were secretly spying on them.

Luo Wan used telepathy to try to sense the thoughts of these residents.

"Another stranger is coming."

"What if I disturb the master's rest?"

"Alas, another group of people are coming to die."

Again? Luo Wan caught the key words. Why do you say that another group of people are coming to die? Could it be that someone had been here before they came? It sounded like he was dead.

Seeing that every household had closed their doors, Luo Wan and his group could only walk to the next village to find a place to stay.

After walking about five or six miles, they finally found a village, and Jiang Ming knocked on the door of a family.

The person who opened the door was a young man with dark skin, but there was a bit of sharpness in his eyebrows and eyes. The young man said, "Who are you?"

"Hello, we are the investigation team of the folklore research major of Hohai University. I am sorry to bother you to ask if we can stay here for a few days. Don't worry, we will pay the rent."

The young man looked up and down at several people, including the panting, slightly fat young man Zhang Chao, the cold-looking Luo Wan, and the weak-looking girl Su Jin.

After looking at the four people, the young man felt that there was no problem, so he let Jiang Ming and others into the yard.

"There are two empty houses in the west yard, you can stay there. By the way, how long will you stay?"

"About 1 month."

"800 a month, water and electricity bills are paid by yourself, is that acceptable?" the young man asked.

"Acceptable, acceptable."

Gurgle~

Zhang Chao's stomach rumbled at an inopportune time, and Zhang Chao's stomach was like a fuse, and the stomachs of several other people also rumbled.

Luo Wan was no exception. Although he could now rely purely on absorbing souls to maintain his body energy, Luo Wan, who had been sitting on the train for a whole day and had only eaten some snacks and no more, felt a little hungry at this moment.

"You have to pay for meals." The young man said.

"Okay, sure. How much is each meal?"

"You four together, 100 yuan a day."

"Okay, okay." Jiang Ming agreed without hesitation.

"Wait here, I'll cook for you." After saying that, the young man left the west yard and went to the kitchen in the east yard to get busy.

Several people took out their luggage and sorted it out. Zhang Chao asked: "Teacher, why do I always feel that this place is so evil?"

"Where are you talking about?"

"It's the Zhengde Village we just went to. You can imagine that every household has closed their doors before it gets dark, and there are no lights inside. When we walked there, I always felt that someone was watching me from behind, which gave me goose bumps."

"Yes, Zhengde Village also gives me an uncomfortable feeling. Do we really want to go there for investigation?"

Su Jin, who has always been taciturn, also spoke up.

Luo Wan ignored the topic here, but went to the kitchen to help the young man cook.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Luo Wan greeted.

The young man asked, "Can you cut vegetables?"

"Yes."

"Cut the potatoes on the table into shredded potatoes."

"Okay."

While cutting shredded potatoes, Luo Wan asked, "My name is Luo Wan, what should I call you?"

"Just call me Bayan."

"Are you alone at home?"

"No, my grandfather is also at home."

Speaking of the devil, an old voice came from outside the kitchen: "Bayan, are there guests?"

Accompanied by the sound of a walking stick hitting the ground.

Bayan, who was burning the fire, stood up and ran outside to help the old man.

"There are a few guests staying overnight. Why did you come out? The doctor said that you need to rest and can't walk around easily."

"Forget it. If I rest any longer, my limbs will degenerate."

Bayan supported Grandpa and walked into the kitchen. Luo Wan, who was cutting vegetables, saw the old man and greeted him, "Hello, Grandpa."

"You... are the guests who are staying overnight."

"Yes, there are three others who are packing their luggage."

Bayan helped Grandpa sit on a chair. As soon as the old man sat down, he asked, "Where are you from?"

"Hohai University. I wonder if you've heard of it."

"Oh, who doesn't know Hohai University? Your school is one of the best universities." He hit Bayan's head and said, "It's a pity that my child is not motivated and can't even get into a university."

Bayan rubbed his head, which was a little painful from the knock, and said to the old man, "Grandpa, didn't you agree not to mention this in the future?"

"Okay, okay, I won't mention it."

Bayan continued to make fire.

The old man seemed to have opened up a conversation box and asked Luo Wan: "Young man, what are you doing in this remote place like ours?"

"We are here to do a folklore survey. We heard that there is a Zhengde Village here with unique folk customs, so we came here to collect some information."

The old man's expression changed when he heard this, and even Bayan's hand that was pulling the bellows slowed down.

"Are you going to Zhengde Village?"

"Yes."

"I advise you to go back."

"Why?"

"In a few days, it will be the day to welcome the master in Zhengde Village. If you don't leave, you may get into trouble."

"What exactly is this master you are talking about? On the way here, a big brother also told us that everyone in Zhengde Village worships the master. What exactly is this master?"

The old man took out a pipe from behind, lit a puff of cigarette, and told Luo Wan: "This 'master' is actually a Bodhisattva named Beifang Zhengde Tongjing Bodhisattva. It is said that he has six eyes and can know everything in the world. The people of Zhengde Village, adults and children, without exception, believe in this Bodhisattva like crazy. The government said that it wanted to transform the new countryside, but they disagreed and risked their lives to stop people from starting the construction, saying that it would disturb the master's rest. It is said that in their village, boys and girls are sacrificed to the 'master'."
