Chapter 1468: Calling at the door at night
“Ahem...”
A sudden cough interrupted everyone’s thoughts. They followed the sound and found that the sound came from a room not far away. Yes, it sounds very dull. He is an old man.
The woman stood up nervously when she heard the sound, with worry written on her pretty face, "It's Grandpa, Grandpa is not in good health."
"I have some medical skills, if necessary. I'm happy to help."
In order to win the girl's trust and learn more about the secrets of the martial arts village, Li Bai enthusiastically promoted himself to the woman and took out some herbs.
The woman looked at the herbs and her heart was obviously moved, but later she turned to look outside the door. The sky in the distance had become completely gloomy. To be precise, it was foggy. The ghostly mist seemed to cover the entire village. They were all wrapped up, and the sky pressure was unusually low, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"It's almost night, tomorrow will be fine, you guys have a good rest tonight."
As soon as she walked out of the door, the woman stopped, turned around and said, "Look at my memory, the most important thing is I forgot to mention, you must not go out at night. During this period, the village is surrounded by The fog has been very heavy recently, even blurring the boundary between day and night."
After a pause, the woman's expression became serious: "You have to remember that the dawn you see is not necessarily real. To hear the sound of gongs, the sound of gongs means dawn. ”
"Cough..."
"Cough cough..."
The coughing sound started rapidly. After the woman said this, she closed the door and ran away. Jiang Cheng and others huddled in the room. The space here It was really small, and there was no decent furniture. There was only a broken table and two wooden chairs that were not stable to sit on. There was an earthen kang built with earth near the wall, and it was too cramped for three people to sleep on it.
Tang Qisheng found some firewood from behind the door, and several people lit a fire, and then gathered around the stove. The flames dispelled some of the chill, and the fatigue from the journey was released at this moment.
Opening the door a crack, the sky became increasingly gloomy. Jiang Cheng looked at another house not far away. It was pitch dark. "We'd better divide some of our people to live there. This room is too spacious." It’s so small that you can’t use it when something happens, and the doors and windows of the two rooms are in different directions. They depend on each other and the view will be much better.”
After some discussion, Tang Qisheng, Zhu Jie, and Zhang Qizheng took the initiative to come over. Finally, Yao, Shunyu and Yao also stood up and complained that the place was too crowded. He wanted to try his luck and see if he had a chance to sleep on the bed.
Yao Shunyu was unwilling to leave Fatty. After all, the doctor analyzed that the three teammates were not necessarily reliable. However, he winked at Yao Shunyu and did not see any response.
While it was not completely dark outside, Yao, Shun, and Yu took out a torch from the stove, and then brought some firewood for backup, and the four of them moved into another room.
Seeing the fire light up in their room, Jiangcheng closed the door. The fat man couldn't help complaining, "What do Yao, Shun, and Yu want to do? Isn't it good to live with us?"
"People who think too much have a tiring life and don't trust anyone."
Shao Tong squinted his eyes with satisfaction. Naturally, his status was not worthy of sitting on a chair. He squatted on the ground and stretched out his hands to warm himself comfortably by the fire. The firelight reflected his face brightly.
The fat man was furious when he saw him, and asked with a straight face: "Why don't you go? I tell you, don't mess with us."
Hearing that the fat man After saying this, Shao Tong suddenly became happy. He leaned back against the wall, tilted his head and said with a smile: "I I want to go, but I’m worried that if I go, some people won’t be able to sleep.”
The fat man was choked by Shao Tong, and he naturally knew that the person Shao Tong was talking about was a doctor. It was clear that the doctor was keeping a close eye on Shao Tong and would never let him out of sight.
Jiang Cheng kicked a few pieces of firewood to Shao Tong's feet, looked at him and asked, "What do you think of this village?"
Shao Tong straightened up, thought for a moment and then said: "The people in the Hou Mansion made it very clear that our destination is Daotou Village, so I think we will not be involved in another supernatural incident for no reason, so... ..." After a pause, Shao Tong pointed to the ground and said meaningfully: "This should be Daotou Village."
"Well, I think the same thing as you. That woman said that the ghosts in the fog are evil cultivators and Taoist priests who have gone crazy. Do you still remember? We found many lightning strike wooden signs in the Hou Mansion, as well as those in the Hou Mansion's Yin Mansion. Many of the arrangements are from the Taoist sect, and there may be a connection between them."
After listening to Jiang Cheng's explanation. Li Bai, who was beside him, also nodded, "I remember that the servants who died that night once said that their amulets came from a place called Tianshi Mansion, which sounds like a Taoist temple."
The fat man became more frightened as he listened, and suddenly said: "Also, when the doctor and I were at the antique shop, the shop owner told us the story of the fisherman. , the fisherman said that the night they were forced into the lake was calculated by an expert, and the soldiers called him... Yes! Yes, they called him Tianshi! "
The thoughts were confused for a moment. A clue finally emerged, but the haze hanging over everyone's heads has not dissipated. The key now is to find out the secret of this fishing village.
After a long time, Li Bai spoke: "Changing the name of a village is a big deal. If this martial arts village really used the name Daotou Village, then some kind of change must have happened."
There is no doubt that this time The accident must be related to the ghost fog surrounding the village and the evil cultivators in the ghost fog, but what Jiangcheng couldn't figure out was why a group of Taoist priests with good Taoism would be related to a little-known remote fishing village.
Time passed by, and fatigue came over him like a tide. Jiang Cheng pulled Shao Tong to guard the first shift, letting Fatty and Li Bai go to rest first.
The fat man lay on his side on the bed. He originally wanted to think about this fishing village again, but after a while his eyelids slowly closed and he fell asleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but the fat man suddenly felt a pain in his heart and suddenly woke up. It turned out that he was hit when he turned over. There was a brand in the inner pocket of his clothes, which was the identity card given by General Yuwen. There is the mark of the Hou Mansion on it.
But in a daze, the fat man was just about to go back to sleep, when he suddenly noticed something was wrong the next second. He found that the candles in the room were extinguished.
Not to mention, the stove used for heating in the room also went out, and the room was dark at the moment.
The fat man woke up completely. He had seen a lot of strange things. He tried his best to calm down, and then reached out to his side to wake up Li Bai, who was sleeping with him.
Unexpectedly, I found nothing. Li Bai's position was still warm, indicating that he had just left.
But what kind of situation would cause everyone including the doctor, Shao Tong, and Li Bai to disappear silently? Fatty couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to think about it at all, until he glanced out of the corner of his eye. When he passed the window, his pupils suddenly narrowed. (End of chapter)
