There are always NPCs trying to harm me

Miaoqian Village ([-])

Ye Chi bid farewell to the enthusiastic villagers, and planned to go to the temple in front of the village to see the situation.

Since it is a temple, it must have been a place to pray to the Buddha, listen to the scriptures and seek the Dharma in the past. There are many temples with incense and incense. Maybe you can dig some things to exorcise evil spirits from it. It would be even better if you can use it as a weapon. !

Ye Chi hurried back to the stone pier at the entrance of the village, and sure enough, he found a dilapidated small temple not far in front of him.The red wall is peeling off and the doors are in disarray, and the plaque under the eaves is half-fallen, and thick dust has accumulated a long time ago. There is no trace of writing, and I don't know what was originally written on it.

But even if it originally said that the person who entered the temple died, and it was broken into such a ghostly appearance, Ye Chi still wanted to enter. It was just that the villagers said that he could not enter, which made him very worried, but after a while, he found that he was completely wanting to enter the temple. beauty.

He only took two more steps towards the entrance of the village, but when he had a clear path ahead, he bumped into an unreasonable obstacle, was bounced back and took several steps backwards, and almost fell to the ground.

The system sound that had been silent for a long time rang directly in his mind again.

[This area is not yet open, please come back after upgrading. 】

Ye Chi: "..." He instinctively wanted to speak quickly, but when he got to the tip of his tongue, he almost slapped the system in the face, and was pushed back by him.

Considering his current situation where there are leaks everywhere, it's better, so he was short of breath in a very timely manner, "Can you give me a novice weapon, can't I just borrow a kitchen knife?" His attitude was sincere.

But no matter whether he is furious or sincere, the system still adheres to the consistent style of leaving after he finished speaking, very obeying the rules, and disappears without saying a word.

Ye Chi still jumped up angrily: "Fuck you! I remember you!"

Not only did he get nothing, but he also found out that he couldn't even get out of the village, and there was no way to escape, so he was heartbroken.

Ye Chi walked back dejectedly, and at some point a fortune-telling stand was set up on the side of the road, and a young Taoist priest in clean white clothes with a high Taoist crown was sitting behind him, shaking a Kongming fan nondescriptly.The young man was very good-looking, like a fairy, Ye Chi's eyes lit up, he hurried over, sat down on the long bench in front of the stall, and said anxiously, "Help, Taoist priest!"

The fortune-teller gave him a contemptuous look, and said unhurriedly, "Why are you panicking?"

Ye Chi saw that he was so superior, his eyes became brighter, "Master Daoist, you can catch ghosts!"

With a flick of the Daoist's wrist, the Kongming fan slowly released a gust of breeze, and he replied steadily, "No."

Ye Chi: "..."

He thought that what he met at the turn of the road was a bright willow, but it turned out to be an ordinary poor country, it's simply abominable!

He said unwillingly, "What about the talisman?"

The Taoist still said, "No."

Ye Chi felt stuffy in his heart, "Then what will you do?"

The Daoist waved his hand and laid out a blank sheet of paper in front of him, pressed a round paperweight on one corner, and said in a fairy-tale manner, "Fortune-telling."

Ye Chi: "..." I thought I met an NPC who gave me warmth, but it turned out to be a charlatan.The smile he was trying to maintain on his face was scattered all over the floor, and turned into another kind of foolishness, "Then you figure it out, where do I come from, and where am I going? Is it because Yintang is black, and there will be a bloody disaster?"

The Taoist priest looked at him for a while, smiled, stroked his sleeves and picked up a pen to write a word on the white paper. After finishing writing, he slowly turned the paper around, facing Ye Chi.

Ye Chi looked over, and there was a word "no" on the white paper, with a strong brush stroke, which showed a bit of the skills of a writer.

He smiled, stood up and left, muttering as he walked, "Other charlatans still sell fake medicine and talismans, and he is so easy to cheat and abduct, it's a disgrace to the gods."

When he walked out for a while, the Taoist priest had just finished writing the second word, which was the word "you". Seeing that Ye was far away, his expression was still light, so he didn't call him, and just slowly wrote the word "yes". The piece of paper was rolled up and put away, and he said in his mouth, "Young man now, I really have no patience. I gave him the cheats twice in a row but couldn't send them out. It seems that there is no need to give them away."

……

Ye Chi still didn't know that he missed out on two off-court aids because of his irritability, so he went into the corner and only looked for clues. If he knew what he missed, he didn't know whether he wanted to strangle himself or the cheater.

He walked around the village again, and stood at the gate of Yizhuang, but finally he didn't dare to go in, not to mention anything else, the corpses he had seen could be counted on one finger.Afterwards, I could only ask around, and actually found out something interesting for him. After thinking about it for a while, I wandered over to Widow Wang's house.

Some villagers said that when Widow Wang was not a widow, she was quite friendly with Zhang Tuhu's family who died.

This is so strange, the villagers can't wait to tell him everything they know, but the Widow Wang avoids talking about it, and she clearly looks like she knows something but doesn't say it. I don't doubt that she is simply ignorant of conscience .

Widow Wang's house is on the west entrance of the village, connected with other families. Although there are only two orphans and widows, the whole house looks richer than the other families.

Ye Chi went around the outer wall for a while before knocking on the closed courtyard door. After knocking for a long time, he couldn't hear any movement inside. He thought in his heart: "Isn't it there?" Just as he was about to leave, the courtyard door creaked. It opened with a sound, not very wide, exposing a gap about the width of a palm.

Ye Chi looked in, glanced at Widow Wang behind the door through the half-open courtyard door, and was immediately horrified by her gloomy and cloudy eyes, his hair stood up in awe, and he panicked a little.

Ye Chi tried his best to gather his mind, his eyeballs drooped to see the shadow of Widow Wang falling on the ground, and then he said, "Aunt Wang..."

But Widow Wang cut him off, "You don't need to ask, I have nothing to tell you." As she was about to close the door, Ye Chi quickly blocked it with her hand, "I heard that Zhang Tuhu's family was killed after your husband died. of?"

He asked this very rudely, and the Widow Wang snorted, "I still say the same thing, there is a wrong and a debt, some people deserve to die, and some people don't deserve to die." She suddenly stretched out a thin bone Taking advantage of Ye Chi's unpreparedness, he gave him a sharp push. Ye Chi couldn't help but staggered back two steps, and the door was already closed firmly with a "bang".

Ye Chi stood firm, feeling even more suspicious in his heart. He stared at the plain wooden door and subconsciously half-closed his eyes.

If he hadn't been dazzled just now, there should have been a strange bloody pattern drawn on the palm of the hand that Widow Wang pushed him, and this had to remind him of some ghost-calling rituals.

Could the ghost really have something to do with her dead husband?Then how could her son Ba'er be scared stupid by ghosts?

At this time, the sun was fading to the west, and there were hardly any people outside.Ye Chi didn't dare to delay outside, after all, night is a hotbed for ghosts to be active, he knocked on a house at random, it happened to be the old lady who likes to chatter.Ye Chi asked her if there was any place for lodging in the village, and the aunt immediately welcomed him in cordially, "You are an immortal from Wujie Mountain, and everyone is eager to invite you to live at home. Today is my lucky day, so I will invite an immortal." Stay overnight at my house."

Ye Chi smiled awkwardly, "Then bother."

The aunt led him to a hut on the west side, "I've always kept this west room clean, and I'll ask the old man to bring you a mattress in a while... Immortal, there is a clue about the ghost, and I hope you can see it soon." Apart from that evil spirit, let us live a peaceful life."

Ye Chi said, "Naturally."

The aunt pushed open the door of the west room and let Ye Chi in. The interior of the room was simple and clear at a glance. It was just a table, a stool and an earthen kang, and it was really clean.

The aunt turned to leave, but Ye Chi hurriedly called to her, "Where can I get black dog blood here?"

The aunt stood still and asked him suspiciously, "What do you want that filthy thing for?"

Ye Chi said boldly, "Catch ghosts."

The aunt hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll get you a bowl later, is one bowl enough?"

Ye Chi said, "That's enough—a bundle of red thread for female workers."

Later, the aunt not only brought him black dog blood and red thread, but also thoughtfully gave him two steamed buns and a plate of pickles, not really thinking that he is a fairy who does not eat grains.

Although the food was simple, Ye Chi still thanked her gratefully, and while eating, he thought, "It's really abominable to cheat food and housing like this, why don't I find a way to help them get rid of that ghost?" I am dreaming, and on the other hand, I am already thinking about how to live here.

He dipped his chopsticks in white water to restore the pattern on the palm of Widow Wang's hand on the table. Looking left and right, he couldn't see the way, so he could only hold the quilt that was neither soft nor fragrant, and fell asleep in his clothes in an extremely uncomfortable way.

After falling asleep in the middle of the night, Ye Chi woke up suddenly, and there was a regular sound of "knock, knock, click" coming from outside the house. The sound was getting closer and closer until it reached his door, lingering and not leaving.

Ye Chi was sweating on his forehead. He didn't know whether it was the heat or the fright, so he quickly put on his shoes and got out of bed.The room was dark, and he groped to light the oil lamp, and held up the bowl of black dog blood steadily with the help of a small light, gritted his teeth to embolden himself, "I won't look for you, but you will come to your door yourself, okay?" Wow, my lord, I have seen everything since I was a child but I have never seen a ghost, let me open my eyes today!" He opened the door violently, without even looking, a bowl of dog blood was poured out, splashing When it was over, he threw the bowl and cursed, "This is not the place for you to stay, since you have become a ghost, then go back to your underworld, if you have any grievances, tell the Hades, and be a ghost to harm people——" He stopped abruptly, because under the pale moonlight, a huge ghost head was looking at him fiercely, the black dog's blood didn't touch it, and all of it fell to the ground.

The ghost's head was as high as the eaves of the house, and it opened a huge black mouth, revealing a few sharp white teeth, and bit it towards Ye Chi.Ye Chi slapped the door panel fiercely, "Oh my god! What a ghost!"

The ghost head was confiscated, and it hit the door panel with a loud "bang".Ye Chi leaned against the door with his back, his legs trembling, he was so frightened that he lost all courage, and shouted outside, "There is a wronged person and a debtor, Grandpa Ghost, you have found the wrong person!" Grandpa Ghost He didn't listen to his nonsense, and slammed the door with his big head.After a while, Ye Chi couldn't hold it anymore, he rushed to the opposite corner of the room, turned around as if he was facing an enemy, and looked in the direction of the door, picked up the only bench in the room, and acted righteously. Holding it in front of me, I thought: "I will fight it!"

The door of the room was knocked open, and a ghostly eye that was half the height of the door peeked in. The protruding snow-white eyeball rolled around, and finally fixed on Ye Chi in the corner.

Ye Chi swung the bench twice, pointed the leg of the stool towards the ghost at the door, "If you dare to come in, I'll slap you to death!"

It's another matter if you can't shoot or not, but the ghost really backed up and disappeared at the door. Ye Chi just let out a sigh of relief, and there was a sound of "pong", the ghost actually retreated and made a dive. Just slam into it.

Ye Chi was so frightened that he lifted the stool and threw it at the ghost head, but the stool passed through the ghost head and hit the door panel, cracking a stool leg.Ye Chi immediately turned around, opened the window, stomped and flipped vigorously, jumped out of the window and fled outside.

The moonlight outside was unusually bright, and Ye Chi described it as running miserably on the path like a spider's legs, running for a long distance in one breath before looking behind him.The ghost didn't know whether he didn't keep up or was thrown away by him, but he disappeared.

Only then did Ye Chi stop slowly. He was so tired that he was out of breath. He took a few breaths and didn't dare to stay. It happened that there was a family next to him. He hurried to knock on the door, and shouted as he knocked, "Open the door, is anyone there?" ?” After knocking for a while, no one answered the door, and it was very quiet, strangely quiet.Ye Chi was suspicious, and took a step back. At this moment, a child's voice of "giggling" suddenly came from the right, making his scalp numb from laughter.

Ye Chi turned his head to look, and saw that huge ghost head stopped not far from his right side, filling the entire space, with his mouth wide open, with the corners of his mouth raised to the sides, showing a treacherous smile.It's just that it is really ugly when it is born, and it is even more miserable when it laughs.

Ye Chi unconsciously took another step back, and the ghost followed suit and took a step forward.He retreated again, and it followed again, as if playing a game of stepping with Ye Chi.

The childish voice of "giggle" has been echoing around, with its own 3D stereo surround effect, and it is very ghostly.

Ye Chi had a doubt in his heart, this ghost is really weird, the black dog can't splash it with blood, and the bench can't hit it, so why is it caught by the door panel again, and has to hit the door to come in?

Was it to scare him on purpose?

As he stepped back in his mind, he quickly sorted out the information collected during the day.

To sum up, ghosts have two behaviors, one is to kill and the other is to scare people.The murder started from the butcher's family. The target was so concentrated that he didn't think about anything other than seeking revenge, and most of them were related to Widow Wang.And there should be no direct connection between the few people who died scattered afterwards, that is, killing without setting a target, and there was a long period of time between the two.

So what happened during that time?Wronged souls turned into ghosts?Or has some other evil spirit invaded the village?

But ghosts are scary, eight children don't count, those who have seen it are children, and in the eyes of children, this ghost is here to play with them.

If this ghost's behavior is really to play with them, then the murderous ghost must not be the same as the scary ghost!

It is absolutely impossible for a vicious ghost to be childish and playful, killing and amusing both hands, unless the ghost can also suffer from schizophrenia.

Ye Chi had already retreated to the entrance of the village unknowingly, and soon his back hit an invisible blocking wall, and there was no way to retreat.

His palms were covered with sweat, his eyes fixed on the hideous ghost head, and he made a decision in his heart.

He stopped, but the ghost didn't stop, and still approached him step by step, and seemed to be dissatisfied with his sudden stop, bared his fangs at him, and the sound of "cluck" turned into a threatening one. The sound of "ho ho", but to Ye Chi, its self-righteous laughter didn't make him feel ironic.

Ye Chi suddenly stretched out a hand when Guitou was five steps away from him, he was nervous but pretended to be calm, and said to Guitou in a calm, childlike tone, "Put out your tongue and let me see. "

When the ghost heard it, it really stopped. A long bright red tongue leaked out of its mouth immediately, dragging it all the way to the ground. There were clucking sounds, which showed that it was happy again.

Ye Chi squeezed a cold sweat secretly, and coaxed it, "Now stretch out your hand."

hand?Guitou turned around and found that it only had a big head and no body. Without a body, there would be no hands.It became anxious at the moment, what should I do if I can't reach out!Just as it was about to tell Ye Chi that it had no hands, Ye Chi rushed forward and punched one side of the face with his fists.

However, his fist didn't hit anything, as if he had punched into a void, and even his fist led people through the huge ghost head directly.

When he passed through, he felt a chilly ghostly aura, and his hairs all over his body.He turned around in surprise, but to his surprise, the ghost head disappeared out of thin air, replaced by a bare-chested doll, which sat on the ground, screaming "Yiyi Yaya", and stretched out its arms towards him. Out of two arms...
