Otherworldly Merchant

Li Mazi showed me the mud like a plate on a table, where a dozen fingers were neatly arranged, one of them white and tender, like a spring onion, and a shiny diamond ring.

This scene is really a little scary, but even now Li Mazi can see these broken fingers without surprise, and naturally won't scare me.

What really surprises me is that half a walnut-sized bronze mirror was left in the blind corner behind the mud.

Because Li Mazi and I deliberately protected him from the moment we first caught him in the middle. Plus the mud cloak, the peculiar construction of the floor of this cabin, only I can see it.

I saw half a human face in that mirror through the trance of the fire in the house.

Pale as paper, filled with sarcomas large and small, purple and red, one blind eye collapsed deeply.

It's as scary as it gets!

At this time, there were four people in this room, me, Hatsumomo, Li Mazi and the strong man who led us in, nobody looked like that.

But I've seen him many times already, the weird old man who manipulates metal!

After the first time on the train to Zhejiang, stealing people's gold and silver jewellery caught my attention, I helped several times, even saving my life more than once.

But he never said a word to me.

What the hell is he doing?

Is he the mastermind behind the Great Bang Dynasty?

While I was wondering, the weird old man in the mirror shook his head gently at me, as if he was warning me not to move lightly!

And then the bronze mirror disappeared.

At this time, the strong man in the room bent over and climbed near the table, taking a small stone out of the plate of fingers with great respect, indicating that we all touched it.

Li Mazi asked vigilantly: "What does that mean? ”

The man spoke a language that we didn't understand, touched the stone, patted his chest, and then made a sleeping motion on his side of his head.

It's like saying, it's a custom in their village, and only those who have touched this stone will be comfortable letting us stay in the village, otherwise leave.

I gave Li Mazi a look. He hesitated and touched the stone.

As soon as I saw him, Chuichi and I touched him on the stone as well - it was not intentional to pit Li Mazi, but in case there was anything strange about the stone, Li Mazi looked at him, we could still save him, but if we got hit first, he could only watch.

Moreover, it is only by doing so that it can be seen, what exactly is this weird stone being offered on the stage and what will it do to ordinary people? So that we don't make noise exactly like he disguised it, and we don't see anything.

That weird old man saved my life a few times, and while I can't figure out what he's up to for the time being, I don't know what he's up to, but I'm pretty sure he shouldn't have any malice - at least not for the time being.

He showed up deliberately to remind me not to act rashly. I'm sure it makes sense!

Until the truth is known, the best way is to stay put.

At first sight, all three of us touched the stone, and it seemed like we were finally relieved. Even with a few unhidden joys on his face, he greeted us as we got up and went out the door.

As soon as we came out of the cabin, the crows who had been screaming at us all the time stood honestly on the branches and stopped shouting.

The villages surrounded by the courtyard are no longer as alert and full of eyes as before.

The strong man led us into a small grasshouse courtyard not far away, indicating that we were staying here tonight, and after our fake thanks, he turned around and left.

The cabin was small, but it was clean and there was no dust on the ground.

I lit up the petroleum lamp on the table, and Li Mazi sat on the bed with his butt on it. He said in fright and exaggeration: “This place is evil enough! You've all seen the fingers on the stand, and there's fresh blood! What the hell is this place? It's a tribute to living people's fingers. ”

“Not only did I see it, I also knew whose it was.” The first frozen face said: “The finger wearing the ring is Lin Changqing's daughter-in-law, Lin Junjie's wife. ”

“When Lin Changqing took me to his son's house to check, I saw their wedding photos. ”

Li Mazi shocked: “So, Lin's father and son died here, along with the experts he hired? This village is not a cannibal tribe, is it? ”

“It's not a village, it's a tomb.” Hatsune said.

“The tomb?” Li Mazi struck a chill.

“Yes!” he nodded at the beginning. “The village is surrounded by mountains, sheltered from the sun and sheltered from the shadows. It is the perfect burial place. All the buildings are situated south to north, plus two inside and outside the yard, which is exactly double the coffin. And each house is one big, one small, although under the cover of night, the house is slightly obsolete, but it can also be seen that it was made in the way of a coffin. ”

“The village was built on the basis of an ancient tomb. In other words, this village is actually a grave, each household is a large coffin, and the bed you are sitting in is a small coffin! ”

Li Mazi stood up in panic, but his backpack was pressed on the other side. This stood up in a hurry, causing the bed plate to lift up.

With the dim lights, we can see clearly that the bed is empty and there is a dead body lying inside!

It's a dry, skinny old lady. Her whole body is already dry, but she doesn't know what these villagers are doing. It's not rotten at all. Even his eyes are intact and still staring at a pair of yellow little eyes as if they were set to look at us.

Li Mazi took two steps back and swallowed a hard sip. He looked at me and said: "What the hell is this place! Brother Zhang, why don't we get out of the village first, this too...”

“Run away from what?” I glanced at him: “What are we doing here? Isn't it just to track down the cause of death of Lin's father and son? Moreover, the mud they are supplying is identical to the puppet mud buried in the Rock Circle Law Array. From this, it can be seen that it is definitely related to the Wanghui Patriarchal Law Array. We should now stay in the village to observe and move! ”

“Well...” Li Mazi looked at me a little embarrassed and looked at the beginning together: “Since the village is a tomb, what about these villagers? Not all ghosts, are they? ”

“That's not true.” I shook my head: “They turned on the flashlight, lit the oil lamp, everyone had a shadow, and rested at night. Although it was a bit abnormal in terms of behavioral customs, they were still normal people. ”

When I first turned around and looked at me, “Jiulin, what do you think the little rock we just touched is? ”
