I created the Gods

Chen Yan, who was about to go to sleep, received a soul mark message from Luo Wan.

"Grandma Black? This is interesting. It seems that many legendary things have come out after the spiritual energy is revived. I don't know what it will be like in the future..."

After Luo Wan and others listened to Bayan's story, they continued to sleep with Bayan's assurance of safety issues.

Until the morning and noon of the next day, the four of them packed their things and prepared to go to this mysterious village: Zhengde Village.

On the way, Jiang Ming told the three people about Zhengde Village while walking: "According to the local county records, this Zhengde Village was called Shitou Village before the Ming Dynasty, and was renamed Zhengde Village during the Wanli Period. The specific reason is unknown, but it is said that It is related to the White Lotus Sect. So I suspect that the so-called Northern Zhengde Tongjing Bodhisattva worshiped in this village is closely related to the White Lotus Sect in ancient times."

The four of them walked while talking, and soon they all arrived at Zhengde Village.

When the dead stepped into Zhengde Village, a land that seemed to have been forgotten by time, they seemed to have traveled to another time and space in an instant. This village is hidden in the embrace of dense forests, far away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, and everything seems so quiet and ancient. The smoke from the cooking pots curled up and entangled gently between the low eaves, but it could not dispel the weird atmosphere in the air. The houses in the village are all built of logs, and time has carved mottled marks on their surfaces. Every crack seems to tell a story of the past.

The villagers' attire is simple, as if they were dressed hundreds of years ago. Men farm and women weave, seemingly leading a quiet, self-sufficient life. However, whenever their eyes touched Luo Wan and others, despite the smiles on their lips, there was an indescribable sense of distance in their eyes. That coldness seemed to be separated by thousands of years of ice, making people feel inexplicably heart palpitating. The children chased and played in the alleys, laughing innocently. But the moment they saw Luo Wan and others, their smiles quickly disappeared, leaving only emptiness and alienation.

This village is very strange.

This was the first thought in Luo Wan's mind.

But in comparison, Jiang Ming seemed very excited. It was unbelievable that such a thing still existed in modern times.

Jiang Ming found a middle-aged woman who looked kind-faced, stepped forward and asked, "Hello, excuse me, we are here to conduct a humanities survey. I am the leader of the team, Jiang Ming, followed by three of my students. I wonder if I can ask you a few questions?”

The middle-aged woman looked Jiang Ming up and down, then turned to look at Luo Wan and the other three, and said, "If you want anything, ask the old man. He knows more than me. I'm just a little daughter-in-law. I don't know anything." have no idea."

Jiang Ming heard this and said, "Then where is the old lady you are talking about?"

The middle-aged woman pointed to the east and said, "Go over there. There is a big locust tree over there. The old lady should be basking in the sun there right now."

Jiang Ming thanked him, and then led the three of them to look in the direction of the woman's finger.

No one noticed that the moment the four people left, the smile on the woman's face instantly disappeared, replaced by indifference and an inexplicable hostility.

Luo Wan walked behind the team, a little distracted.

Not zoning out, but using telepathy.

He found that people in this village seemed to suddenly have a barrier on their bodies. Just like when he tried to sense Bayan last night, there was an invisible barrier blocking Luo Wan's telepathy.

The four of them quickly walked to the big locust tree, and sure enough, they saw an old man lying on a rocking chair next to the tree, basking in the sun.

Jiang Ming stepped forward to say hello: "Are you an old lady?"

When the old man heard this, he took off the cattail leaf fan covering his face, looked at Jiang Ming and asked, "He's from outside, right?"

"Yes, we did the folklore survey from Hohai University."

The old man was not interested in Jiang Ming's words and said: "The village will welcome the master soon. You'd better leave quickly."

"Old Master, we are here to investigate folk customs this time. Can we also observe Master Ying? Don't worry, we will definitely not cause trouble."

The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Ming, and said: "No, no outsiders can be present in the village to welcome the master, otherwise the rules will be broken."

Jiang Ming did not give up and continued to ask: "Then can I ask you a few questions?"

Surprisingly, the old man did not refuse, but said, "Just ask, I will tell you what I can tell you."

"I heard that the city government has said many times that it would help Zhengde Village with its renovation. Why did you refuse? Wouldn't it be more convenient to have electrical appliances, running water and the like?"

The old man said: "That would have hit the master."

"Then why are you still wearing such ancient clothes? Aren't modern clothes more convenient and comfortable?"

"That would offend the master."

"Don't you yearn for the outside world at all? Have you never thought about going out to see the outside world?"

"That would have hit the master," Jiang Ming and the old man said in unison.

He knew it must be this sentence.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information from the old man, Jiang Ming decided to disperse and go to various parts of the village to see the customs and customs of the village.

The few people dispersed and agreed to meet at the entrance of the village in the evening.

Su Jin followed Jiang Ming, not because of preference, but because in this obviously uncivilized village, a foreign woman swaggering on the road didn't know what would happen.

As Luo Wan walked, he used telepathy to sense his surroundings. As expected, almost everyone in the village had an invisible barrier on their bodies.

Luo Wan speculated that this should be related to the so-called "master", that is, the Northern Zhengde Tongjing Bodhisattva.

Suddenly, a person without a barrier appeared in Luo Wan's telepathic range. The appearance of this person was as conspicuous as a bright light in the dark night.

Luo Wan walked towards the direction of the person, trying not to let people notice that he was wrong.

The location of the person was very remote, and Luo Wan turned several corners before finding the location.

But after arriving, Luo Wan looked around and found no one, but telepathy would not be wrong.

Luo Wan looked around and found a haystack in the corner. Pulling open the haystack, there was a rotten person inside.

There were large areas of rot on his face and body, but even so, this person still had a breath.

Luo Wan did not carry anything that could heal his wounds, and this person had already fallen into a coma.

There was definitely nothing to ask.

Luo Wan used telepathy to sense it, and after confirming that there was no one around, he saw that he changed into a heart-stealing demon state.

The mouthparts like lampreys sucked directly on the man's head, and a stream of memories entered Luo Wan's mind.

After Luo Wan absorbed all the memories, he quickly changed back to human form and used telepathy to sense the location of Jiang Ming and others.

We must leave quickly, this village is very dangerous!
