Nice to meet you [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 154 The Ghost King's Bride
At this moment, the mountain road is silent, there is no sound of wind or chirping of birds and insects, it is as quiet as a dead land.
Sheng Li and Xia Tian walked slowly along the mountain road to the village. Originally, Xia Tian didn't want to take care of the dead man's ditch. According to his idea, after he got out, he would go directly with Lin Yi to expose Hu Boss and the dead man's ditch. However, since this small world has corresponding rules to punish this kind of behavior, he can't do it for him.
However, the owner's words just now made him dispel this idea——
"The people in this dead man's ditch are weird, I'm afraid ordinary people can't solve it. Let's go back and have a look."
There were no outsiders at the moment, so the two of them naturally didn't need to avoid any taboos. Xia Tian asked Sheng Li what was so weird about the people in Dead Man's Valley.
"I injected a trace of ghost energy into their bodies just now, and that trace of ghost energy can travel unimpeded in their bodies, as if they were born to accept it." Sheng Li said thoughtfully: "It seems that they have ghost energy in their bodies."
"There are already?" The little fox blinked, "Could it be that they were ghosts?"
Before he finished speaking, he himself shook his head and denied this possibility, "But they also have shadows in the sun, and they are not like other bone ghosts in the yin house. When they see you, they will avoid you like snakes and scorpions... They can't detect your presence at all... exists."
Sheng Li nodded, "I've seen such a person when I was in Lingyang Sect."
When Sheng Li mentioned Lingyang Sect, Xia Tian subconsciously became a little nervous. He once heard Sheng Li talk about how he was shunned like snakes and scorpions by his fellow disciples in Lingyang Sect. The master who cares about the owner very much, the others are not good people. Hearing the name of Lingyang Sect at this moment, he couldn't help but straighten his back slightly, and also involuntarily held Sheng Li's cold palm.
Sheng Li couldn't help laughing, but he felt very ironic because the little fox loved and worried about his appearance so much. Now this master swordsman is not the person who regards everything as a cloud and smoke, and hides all his thoughts in his heart Yes, he held Xia Tian's fingers in his hand, with a slight smile on his lips.
Xia Tian also immediately realized that he was overreacting, and he also laughed at himself, obviously he had once been the master of the world who never changed his color before the collapse of Mount Tai, but when he heard about the owner, he was still as irritable as before. That little fox.
With a slightly blushed face, he deliberately changed the topic and said, "Then the master saw the same person at the beginning? He obviously acted like an ordinary person, but there was a ghost in his body? What's going on?"
Sheng Li didn't tease him either, "Those people are the living dead. They were either possessed by ghosts, or they used evil methods to raise ghosts for longevity and wealth..." After a pause, Sheng Li added: There is a kind, which is not known when you are in the game."
"The bureau? What bureau?"
"At the beginning, a group of people escorted a young master who was full of ghosts to the Lingyang sect for help. I saw it once. They said that the young master had offended a Gu master in the southern border, and was planted with worms in his body. That young master acted It is no different from ordinary people, but the blood in the body is empty, as if being swallowed by something little by little. Master once ordered me to use sword energy to dispel the ghost energy for him. At that time, it felt like this. There was a ghost energy in the person's body ...So if I guessed correctly, these people in Dead Man Ditch are the hosts of carnivorous butterfly larvae."
Xia Tian was taken aback for a moment, but saw that Sheng Li's face was serious and there was no intention of joking at all, and his back felt cold at the moment.
But if this is the case, there seems to be a reasonable explanation for everything that seems absurd. The reason why they are afraid of Sheng Li is not because ordinary people are afraid of ghosts, but because the carnivorous butterflies in their bodies are instinctively afraid of Sheng Li; They hide in the mountains and refuse to communicate with the outside world, but they buy people back every year to sacrifice and let the carnivorous butterflies eat their flesh and blood. I am afraid that is not an ancient inheritance, but an instinct buried in their flesh and blood.
"But... didn't we burn all the butterflies in this village to death?" Xia Tian frowned slightly when he thought of the carnivorous butterfly that was burned to death in the coffin, and suddenly thought of the butterfly lured by Qiang Zi with his blood. The carnivorous butterfly was startled.If all the carnivorous butterflies were dead, then that one... probably came through someone's body.
Thinking of this, Xia Tian felt even more sick. He murmured: "If the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come?"
However, after the villagers of Dead Man’s Valley returned to the village one by one with stiff hands and feet, the feeling of uncontrollable hands and feet gradually disappeared. They gathered together in horror, wanting to talk about the "mountain god" of unknown origin. Empress", but they were afraid of causing trouble again, so they dared not speak, but just looked at each other, winking and winking was very funny.
And Qiangzi has been standing in the corner with a livid face. Compared with others who can't move his hands and feet, he can always feel the pain from the cracks in his bones, as if there are thousands of little ants lying on him Bit by bit on the bones of his body, the pain did not gradually disappear until he returned to the village. Even so, he was sweating profusely, and his lower lip was bitten by himself.
The villagers stared at him for a while, but they couldn't see what was going on. Finally, they cast their eyes on Qiangzi in unison, and asked about Xia Tian's identity. This person was clearly the goddess of the mountain god they saw in front of the mountain god's house, and she was still moving the tablet of the mountain god. Why did someone come again and say that it was a sacrifice to the mountain god?But this year's sacrifice time has already passed, but there is still one sacrifice who survived. Could it be that because the sacrifice was unsuccessful, the mountain god was furious and punished them?
However, Qiangzi himself didn't figure out what was going on. Now that the pain subsided, his mind became a little clearer. He thought, Boss Hu didn't know that the village head had an accident, and there was no need to lie to him. The first time I came to the mountain was probably for Chen Waizui and Lumao, so the most important thing right now was not Xia Tian's identity, but Boss Hu.
Boss Hu himself brought someone to find the left and right. He broke the rules, so it’s fine if this person can get out, but if he can’t get out...the dead man’s ditch won’t be afraid of another bone!
Qiangzi's face gradually turned serious, he turned his mind a few times, and waved to a few young and strong young people around him, "Come with me."
These people felt that they were chosen by Qiangzi to hear some great secret. Perhaps from today onwards, like Qiangzi, they could also get in touch with offering sacrifices to mountain gods.Thinking of this, the faces of several young people unconsciously showed a bit of color, and each followed Qiangzi to the direction of the ancestral hall with their heads up.
However, when they entered the ancestral hall and listened to what Qiangzi said, they waved their hands again and again, with shocked expressions on their faces: "Murder? What kind of joke is this? Impossible, impossible!"
Qiangzi snorted coldly, and didn't say anything else, just said: "After doing this today, you will be able to participate in the sacrifice to the mountain god."
This point is obviously very attractive to several young people, or to the villagers of Dead Man Valley, no one can resist this temptation. Each of them has an almost instinctive obsession with mountain gods. Everyone is eager to walk into the house of the mountain god and touch the tablet of the mountain god with his own hands.
Sure enough, as soon as Qiangzi said this, the expressions of several young people who were originally surprised and displeased gradually faded away. They looked at each other, as if they were considering how credible Qiangzi's words were.
"The village chief has already left." Qiangzi said again: "The Boss Hu who is doing business with us is so dishonest now, who knows if he will bring any family members over to find someone in the future? By then, the reputation of Dead People's Valley will be bad. Now, where can I find sacrifices?"
"...We will do it!" In the end, a young man took the lead in agreeing.After the first person spoke, the latter two did not hesitate any longer, and nodded to express their willingness to kill Boss Hu.
They were discussing the action plan in the ancestral hall. Suddenly, one of the young men trembled and patted Qiangzi on the shoulder.
Qiangzi thought he was afraid, and said angrily: "If you are afraid, quit, no one will force you."
"No, it's not... it's an offering..." The young man raised his trembling hand and pointed to the place where the white cocoon was originally enshrined in the ancestral hall.
Everyone had seen the white cocoon turn into black ash, but at this moment, a white meat worm slowly crawled out of the ashes, and it was spitting out white silk thread to wrap itself.
This white cocoon has been enshrined here for so many years, but such a thing has never happened, and several people looked at each other for a while.
"This... what is this?!"
"Hey, daddy, tell me, this mountain god lady hasn't shown up for so many years, why did she come out today?"
The woman who had led the way for Xia Tian sat on the threshold and began to choose vegetables. Although many things happened today, the offerings in the village disappeared, and the mountain god seemed to be angry with them and wanted to punish them, but life still had to go on, and we still had to eat.
However, after waiting for a while, the woman did not hear the man's response. Instead, the sound of her daughter's panic crying sounded in the house. The woman frowned, threw down the vegetable seedlings in her hand, and walked into the house, saying, "You are deaf!" Is it right? I can’t hear you when I talk to you, and I don’t know how to comfort my daughter when she cries. Hey, you left something in the house, and I stepped on it..."
All the unfinished complaints were swallowed by the woman. She stood by the door, her eyes widened in disbelief and she looked down at the thing she was stepping on——
There was not a drop of blood in the house, but a complete piece of fresh human skin suddenly appeared on the ground, without the support of flesh and blood, it was like a rough shadow puppet, with eyes, ears, mouth and nose all flat on the ground, it looked weird Ridiculous again.
But just a few minutes ago, this was still a living person.
And their daughter was sitting on the bed, pointing at the human skin on the ground, crying and calling "Daddy".
The woman collapsed on the ground all of a sudden, this scene shocked her too much, so she didn't notice for a while that the corner of the human skin was slightly agitated, as if something was struggling to get out.
A moment later, a butterfly with pitch-black wings flew out of the house.
Sheng Li and Xia Tian walked slowly along the mountain road to the village. Originally, Xia Tian didn't want to take care of the dead man's ditch. According to his idea, after he got out, he would go directly with Lin Yi to expose Hu Boss and the dead man's ditch.
