Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 542: Panicked Villagers
Tangjia Village Kung De Fang is in the center of a large number of graves, heard the village chief said it was to bring the dead ancestral spirits together to protect the villagers.
Li Mazi snorted at this, but I think it's a good solution. Although the souls of ordinary people have little ability, if so many ancestors' souls come together, they can still play some role as shaded people.
But when we walked to Kung De Fang, we found the door closed and there was a noise inside.
I didn't dare to rush in, parked in front of the door and carefully measured it, but I couldn't feel the gloom inside, so I couldn't help but wonder.
At this time, the village chief tried to push the door open and found it locked.
He shouted in his voice, “Open the door, it's me! ”
Just after the voice fell, several pairs of eyes seamed through the door, making sure the village chief opened the door later.
The moment we opened the door, we all couldn't help but open our mouths: a hundred and ten people crowded in a small house of less than twenty square meters, all with front chest patches on the back, many adults even lifted their children over their heads, and everyone's faces filled with panic.
My first feeling was that it was the end of the world movie, and it felt like it was the end of the real world!
Through the dim light, I saw an old man squeezing out of the crowd with crutches and effort. After he came out, he took a hard breath, then looked at the village chief and asked: "Mayor, did you get Master Zhang? ”
Turns out the mayor stopped us when he shouted, the lights were dim in the room, and the old man didn't see us because his eyes weren't so good.
After listening, the village chief simply leaned away and pointed at us, but the old man wondered, why is everyone crowded in Kung De Palace?
Unexpectedly, the old man heard that I was Zhang Jiulin. He took a few steps straight forward, then pounded on his knees and prayed: “Master Zhang, please help Tang's family! ”
I hurried him up and let everyone out of the house first.
Otherwise, these people will have to be suffocated inside before they wait for something dirty to do it...
It seemed they were really bored, and I let them out, and a bunch of bees burst out of the palace, each looking for a place to breathe. Then I looked at the old man and told him what was going on.
The village chief told me that the old man was the biggest person in the village. Everyone respected him as Third Master, so I also called him Third Master.
The Third Master told me that since Tang Xianzu and the others dug up silver guns, there have been several cases of chicken duck loss in the village. At first, they didn't care, but this kind of thing became more and more frequent and everyone felt something was wrong.
It's just that the situation is special, and since it didn't hurt people, everyone chose to ignore it.
When the village chief heard this slap on his thigh, some self-denounced that he only cared about the silver gun and forgot about it, revealing a very guilty appearance.
I couldn't help but be silent for a while, but I didn't say anything about him. Instead, I prompted the Third Master to continue talking down.
The Third Master nodded and his cloudy eyes revealed a little fear. I didn't realize it, because at the age of the Third Master, there was very little to scare him.
So, things could be worse than I thought!
When the Third Master finished, Li Mazi and I frowned. When the village chief picked us up this morning, the Third Master knocked door-to-door with several of the village's managers.
Although the chicken duck has just been lost, but this is part of the villagers' income. The Third Master is prepared to count the time and frequency of the chicken duck loss so that I can report it easily.
And the whole village's poultry got all agitated while they were spinning around the village!
The dog started screaming, the chicken duck began to flutter its wings, even the underground rats came out and ran desperately, it seemed that something big was about to happen.
Third Master is the oldest in the village and has experienced the most things, but he has not seen this scene, let alone others.
So after a few discussions, several managers called the whole village together and were ready to meet us at the village entrance.
But the villagers just got together and something terrible happened!
Hundreds of big weasels appeared on the only trail in Tangjia Village, and they stared at Grandpa San and others with a squeaky grinding sound.
Where has everyone seen this scene? Scared them all into Kung De Palace, only to have that spectacular scene when the door was just opened.
I could see why so much blood in the village had been eaten by the weasels.
But this is definitely not an ordinary weasel, otherwise they won't be able to eat large livestock like dogs and pigs.
I guess, 80% of the villages have weather rat wolves, so I asked him, “Third Master, is there anyone in the village who worships Bao Jiaxian? ”
After listening to the light in front of him, he called me Gao, and then told me that many people in the village had fled from the northeast. There was a tradition of worshipping Huang Daxian. Huang Daxian had always been present in the village before the founding of the country, but it was later demolished.
What the Third Master doesn't understand is that Huang Daxian has not eaten poultry since he remembered, how come so many weasels came out at once this time!
I nodded after listening and stopped arguing about it and asked him to take me to the young men of the middle evil.
As soon as the Third Master waved, the villagers carried out the young men who had tied up the five flowers. As soon as they came out, they smelled like shit. I looked at the drum bag in my crotch. I barely threw up.
After thinking about it, I grabbed a few of the spiritual charms I drew from my pockets and handed them to the village chief. He put them on the heads of these people, and then showered them thoroughly.
The village chief took over the spirit charm in an embarrassing manner and kept the villagers busy.
Then I asked the third grandfather about the ruins of the Wong Da Fairy Temple, and dragged Li Mazi towards it.
“Brother Zhang, wait for me, wait for me. ”
Li Mazi stayed at home with Snow for a while, his body was obviously weak and some of them couldn't keep up with my rhythm. I looked at him with disdain and said, "Can't you just go home and take the baby?"
“Hey, man can't say no...”
Li Mazi smiled obscenely, and then the divine color grew heavy, asking me if this had anything to do with Huang Daxian.
I shook my head because I wasn't sure myself.
Baojiaxian refers to animals that are spiritual and bless people's homes by accepting human offerings. Baojiaxian varies from place to place. There are foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes and many other species, but the most famous are Hu Huang Erxian in the northeast!
Though transformed from livestock, Baojiaxian does not harm people as long as the human offering is good. That's why I find it strange that if Huang Daxian was dissatisfied with the villagers, he would have punished the villagers when Huang Daxian Temple was demolished decades ago, not until now.
But if it has nothing to do with Wong Da Xian, how do you explain the appearance of hundreds of weasels in the village?
Li Mazi didn't know much about these things. After listening to me, he asked me if I was in danger.
“No, Bao Jia Xian is afraid of being soft and hard, it's okay to deal with ordinary people, it's not too late to see our kind of expert hide. ”
“That's good, that's good...”
Li Mazi patted his chest and said, looking at him like this, I couldn't reside on his head and slapped him.
We walked to the top of the hill and saw a shattered building, the Huang Immortal Temple of Tangjiacun.
The Third Master told me that there is only one building here, and I am not afraid to admit it wrong.
Said it was a temple. In fact, there was only one wall and a few top beam columns left. From a distance, it was found that the muddy Huang Immortal statue had been torn apart and had been severely corroded by wind and rain.
“It's so dirty in here that it's not even a toilet. Do we have to go in there? ”
Li Mazi glanced inside with his feet, then said with disgust.
I ignored him and walked into the temple myself to observe, but there were only pieces of spider web and dust all over the floor. It looked like there was no Huang Daxian in there, otherwise it would not be so dirty.
At that time, Li Mazi followed him up and asked me what I had found. I shook my head and was about to go home, and Li Mazi walked and suddenly fell down!
I pulled him up so quickly that I realized that we were not stepping on the ground, but on a floor similar to a triple plywood, which was broken by Li Mazi's foot because of his old age.
After pulling Li Mazi out, I watched carefully on the ground and found a dark room hidden underneath.
Because of the angle, I can't see the whole environment, but at least I can see that the underground space is much cleaner than it is, and I smell a stinking bloody smell!
“Lift the floor! ”
Intuition tells me that there are important clues below, and I am happy to greet Li Mazi to do it, and I also hurried to dig it up myself.
“Can you find the darkroom if I don't come? ”
Li Mazi was proud to say that I watched him say nothing right, let alone that this kid can really get some shit luck sometimes.
