Chapter 191 Buying Travel Money
The story continues. It has to be said that Wu Hongyu is not a good storyteller. The story is very plain and not attractive.
But that didn’t stop him from listening.
It was completely dark, and one of the two girls had completely lost her life.
Yu Qian didn't care. Originally, Wu Hongyue cared. After all, these two girls were the key to her plan.
But fortunately, there is still one alive, so it can't affect anything.
Enough.
“That day, he told me the truth, and my world view collapsed at that moment. For several days, I wanted to leave Headless Village, and he agreed with my choice.”
< br>“But just when I was pulling up my suitcase to leave, looking at him accompanying me, I finally I couldn't bear to leave, so I did something that I thought was the right thing at the time but seems extremely stupid now. I controlled the ghosts with him and then dealt with the ghosts in the Headless Village. "
In the darkness. , Wu Hongyu looked up at Yu Qian. The sky was very dark and Yu Qian's face could not be seen clearly.
But suddenly, the bus underneath suddenly exploded and then spontaneously ignited. The fire brought light, allowing her to vaguely see Yu Qian's expression clearly.
Calm, no waves in the ancient well.
“According to what I thought at the time, we would succeed, but the result was exactly the opposite.”
“The old people in the village are not normal people. They seem to have no heads. At night Their shadows will be less decapitated.”
"But not all. Some headless shadows will suddenly appear with a head, which is the shadow of a woman's head. People who appear in this situation will enter the ancestral hall in the village the next day. Many people come out alive, but The people who came out made me feel different.”
"They don't seem to be who they were before."
As Yu Qian listened to Wu Hongyu's story, Luo Li was verbose and never got to the point. He couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
“Let’s talk about the important point.”
Hearing Yu Qian’s words, Wu Hongyu fell silent. After a while, she said: “At night, anyone’s shadow appears on a woman’s head. , you must enter the ancestral hall the next day, and after you come out, you will no longer It's the same person as before."
"He noticed something was wrong and wanted to take me to escape, but he didn't escape because that night, a woman's head appeared in his shadow, and he entered the next day. ancestral hall, but never came out.”
"I wanted to go in to check, but was stopped outside. I didn't know what happened, but it was definitely related to the ghost. It wasn't until one day that I overheard the conversation of the old people in the village that I knew what happened."< br>
Speaking of this, Wu Hongyu’s face became very gloomy.
“Everyone in the village wants to send the living people to the ancestral hall, so that the evil ghost in the ancestral hall will not come out, because when it comes out, the evil ghosts from other parts of the village will enter the village. ”
“I When I heard the news, I knew he was dead, because I heard them saying that anyone who comes back from outside will die if they enter the ancestral hall, without exception, whether they are from the village or not.”
……
"Tell me the important point!" Yu Qian knocked on the guardrail and frowned.
“Huh?”
Hearing Yu Qian’s words, Wu Hongyu was a little confused. Isn’t she just talking about the key point now?
“Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?” Seeing Wu Hongyu’s confusion, Yu Qian asked.
"Village...Village Chief."
"What is his purpose?"
"Control the evil spirits in the ancestral hall."
"What method is used?"
"Send all the villagers and outsiders in I don’t know what the specific function of the ancestral hall is.”
Yu Qian clapped his hands: “Isn’t that right? You can finish it in three sentences. Why are you talking so much?”
Yu Qian got down from the guardrail: "No one will like to listen to your story. There is no emotion and no new ideas at all."
Wu Hongyu was silent.
"I am not interested in your grudges with the Headless Village, nor do I care how miserable your experience is. You are not a good person, and neither am I."
Turn around and look Winding road: "The village chief wants to control the evil ghost in the ancestral hall. You think so too, otherwise you wouldn't have let that beggar stop the two girls."
"Your little thoughts are of no use in front of me. You just want me to sympathize with you by saying so much. , and then help you get revenge or something.”
"Unfortunately, you are wrong. I have only one purpose here. I don't care about the twists and turns between you two."
Yu Qian looked down at the woman, A smile appeared on his lips.
Wu Hongyu looked at Yu Qian without saying anything, her expression was very calm. After a while she nodded: "You are right, I am competing with the village chief for the ghost, and this is why I kill these people. The reason is that the beggar was also arranged by me. The purpose is very simple. The evil ghosts in the ancestral hall need someone to enter. In the village, except for me and the village chief, everyone else has already entered the ancestral hall. It is impossible for the village chief and I to send each other into Go, because it can’t be done, and the village chief has sent people in before, but I haven’t yet, so I don’t have a quota yet, so these two girls are my quota.”
“You have a quota today. Regardless of whether I am asked to save people or not, one and only one of these two girls will survive. "
"Because I only need one quota, and if the quota is enough, I can kill the village chief."
Wu Hongyu stopped pretending when her thoughts were revealed. The young man in front of her was not only stronger than her, but also had a better mind than her.
The story she told was completely misleading and to attract his sympathy, but this man just listened to it for a while and became impatient. In turn, he guessed the real situation in the Headless Village.
No sympathy, strong strength and brains.
Wu Hongyu knew that she could not defeat the young man in front of her.
Hearing this, Yu Qian didn’t feel very surprised. He just calmly turned his head and looked at the front of the road. He was silent for a while and said: "Lead the way, you have wasted a lot of my time. .”
If it hadn't been for this woman, he might have reached the foot of the headless village by now, maybe already halfway up the mountain.
Wu Hongyu didn’t say anything. He carried the still living girl on his back and walked towards the front of the road.
Yu Qian glanced at the burning bus below, and with a flick of his finger, a black spark shot into the flames.
The next moment, the red flame turned into black, and the supernatural being inside was quickly ignited.
When he got on the bus, he did not see that the old people and the driver were ghost slaves, but after they died, their bodies began to revive.
Combined with what Wu Hongyu said, he understood in his heart that anyone who entered the ancestral hall and came out alive would become a ghost slave.
When alive, he is a normal person, but once he dies, he will immediately start to revive, and the body will quickly transform into a ghost slave.
This is a curse.
Wu Hongyu looked back at the bus, and the black flames made her feel palpitating.
Not daring to look too much, he carried the unconscious girl on his back and walked silently ahead to lead the way.
Yu Qian was walking behind, thinking about something in his mind.
Wu Hongyu did not explain some things clearly, and the story she told also had some illogical logic.
But these are not important. In the face of absolute force, everything is just a cloud.
We walked along the mountains, exited the road, and climbed several mountains.
After being silent for nearly ten hours, Yu Qian suddenly stopped and looked back, his eyes shining with splendor.
A golden line of heaven and earth appeared from the horizon, mountains spread, and a river flowed down.
Water mist rises from the waterfall.
The mountains and rivers are dependent on each other, like a picture scroll of a corridor in the sky.
Wu Hongyu looked at this scene, her eyes flickering slightly. It was beautiful at first, with the mountains covered with clouds and mist appearing auspicious, and extremely shocking.
There are so many times to watch, that’s it.
The sky is open, and the world is filled with light.
Mountain birds chirped and the breeze blew across a mountain. Wu Hongyu stopped in front of a large lake.
Standing by the lake, Yu Qian squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. The scenery in this place was so beautiful that it was endless. The sky and water were the same color, and he couldn't tell the difference between the sky and the water.
“Go past this lake and you’ll reach Wutou Village. How about it, isn’t it beautiful?” Wu Hongyu said with a wry smile.
It was this scenery that kept her here.
There is a small boat by the lake. The boat is not big and can only fit three people.
Wu Hongyu got on the boat first. After putting the girl down, she picked up the boat pole. The boat pole was a piece of bamboo, and she didn’t know how many meters it was. Anyway, it was stuck in the water and there was no end in sight.
After Yu Qian got on the boat, she reminded: "Sit tight, falling is no joke. Don't look at the lake. It is clear, but it is too deep to see the bottom. If you fall in , will be pulled down by the ghosts at the bottom of the lake."
Hearing Wu Hongyu's reminder, Yu Qian did not speak. He stood on the bow of the boat, staring down at the lake.
After watching for a while, he squatted down and reached out to touch the lake water. It was very cold and gloomy.
"Don't..."
Seeing Yu Qian reaching out to stir the lake water, Wu Hongyu's expression suddenly changed, but before she could finish her words, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the clear lake water and grabbed Yu Qian's arm. .
Wu Hongyu was shocked and quickly wanted to help, but as soon as she took the boat pole out a few meters to the water, she stopped.
She looked at Yu Qian and swallowed, feeling a little hesitant.
“What are you doing?”
Yu Qian stood up, grabbed a male corpse with one hand and lifted it up with another. He turned to look at Wu Hongyu, his eyes twinkling slightly.
"No...it's nothing. I just want to help..." Wu Hongyu awkwardly sank the boat pole into the water, and then started to punt the boat.
Yu Qian didn't care about this and threw the ghost into the ghost lake. He stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his hands, looking ahead.
At this moment, he suddenly understood what a wonderful sight it was to see the autumn water and the sky as one color.
If it is night, then there must be a galaxy. That is what someone said. When you are drunk, you don’t know that the sky is in the water, and the starry dream overwhelms the starry river.
It's beautiful, it's beautiful...
But it's also dangerous.
“What is the name of this lake?”
Wu Hongyu was working hard to punt the boat, the girl was working hard to sleep, and Yu Qian was working hard to look at the scenery.
After all, this is the first time I have seen this kind of scenery since I was a child, with my own eyes.
Being in this environment, I feel extremely peaceful.
“Xitong Lake, commonly known as Xito Lake.” Wu Hongyu answered Yu Qian’s question.
“Xitou Lake is worthy of this name.”
Looking down at the bottom of the lake, there are some black things swaying in the deepest part, which seem to be water plants.
Looking carefully, these water plants seem to be following the boat.
Looking at Wu Hongyu's pole again, every time the pole entered the water, the water plants would avoid it.
It is as if there is something different about this pole.
"Well, can I ask, what is the situation outside now?" Wu Hongyu suddenly asked such a question, "I am not talking about the current situation in Dabei City, but about the situation over there in Dajing City. The situation...There are rumors that Dajing City..."
It seemed that there was some taboo, and she did not say the next words.
But I believe Yu Qian can definitely understand.
"It's not a rumor, it's just what you heard." Yu Qian looked up at the sky. In fact, you can see it when you look down. It's the same, but looking up at this time will make his temperament different.
"Is it true that the Supernatural Forum has become the headquarters?" Wu Hongyu's pupils shrank slightly, and the movements of his hands could not help but slow down.
“This is a rumor.” Yu Qian said.
“Huh?”
“Rumor?”
Wu Hongyu didn't believe it. Although she didn't know much about the outside world, she still knew the basic forces.
Now that the headquarters is gone, isn’t the Supernatural Forum the largest supernatural organization?
Will the Supernatural Forum replace the headquarters?
Wu Hongyu didn’t believe it. She had previously thought that after controlling the ghosts in the ancestral hall, she would leave the place where she had been trapped for more than ten years, and then go out for a walk to see if she could join the supernatural forum. .
Individuals and groups are different after all.
Of course, the young man in front of me is different.
"Well, I don't agree. The supernatural forum is the supernatural forum." Yu Qian said extremely calmly.
"Huh? You don't agree?" Wu Hongyu was a little confused. What was this person talking about? Why did he feel something was wrong?
Suddenly she thought of something, and she looked at Yu Qian with disbelief in her eyes.
“Are you from the paranormal forum?”
If so, it would explain why this person is so strong.
There is a difference between organized ghost masters and wild ghost masters.
Yu Qian did not answer her question.
Because we are in the right place.
"Do you have any money on you?" Wu Hongyu suddenly asked when he saw the destination.
"What money?" Yu Qian tilted his head and asked.
"Ghost money, you are a foreigner. If you want to enter a normal village, you must throw twenty-one ghost money at the old well at the entrance of the village. Otherwise, the village you enter is different from the village I entered. Same thing." Wu Hongyu explained.
"What's the difference?" Yu Qian became interested.
“They are all ghosts, there are no living people, and if you go in, you can’t get out.” Wu Hongyu pointed to the bottom of the lake. “The village that you can enter without paying is at the bottom of the lake. Anyone who enters can’t get out.” That village will become that village Part of this is what my husband told me, and I have seen it with my own eyes.”
Hearing Wu Hongyu’s explanation, Yu Qian narrowed his eyes, looked down at the water, and was silent for a while. Straw floated down from the body and landed on the water.
After the straw touched the lake water, it sank quickly. In just a blink of an eye, the straw disappeared.
The connection between Yu Qian and Dao Cao was also severed.
It is quite dangerous, even the connection between him and Straw can be cut off.
Remembering that the purpose of this trip is just for the bride’s head, there is no need to go to this muddy water. At most, when leaving, just get out of control here.
“By the way, those ghosts can come out. As long as their torsos are intact and someone falls from the lake, they can come out, just like the one that grabbed your hand just now. Like a fierce ghost, once you are caught by it, it will get on the boat." Wu Hongyu said.
"However, generally people who enter that village will lose part of their body, which is equivalent to using their limbs as ticket money."
"The method you use to prevent the invasion of evil spirits is quite novel." Yu Qian slightly After thinking about it for a while, I understood what it meant.
Ghosts will not pay, even if they have money, unless it is the rules of the village.
But according to Wu Hongyu, this rule is tacit, not mandatory.
There is a lot to say here.
"It's very novel, but unfortunately, as long as either the village chief or I control the ghosts in the ancestral hall, the rules will change, and the ghosts can pay to enter our village." Wu Hongyu said after being silent for a while.
"When the time comes, Headless Village will become a ghost village."
"Well, that's the truth, but what's wrong with this? Do you really think there are still living people in the village? ?" Yu Qian looked at the village that was getting closer and closer. There was no one alive in Wutou Village except the village chief and Wu Hongyu.
As long as anyone has entered the ancestral hall, they cannot be regarded as human beings.
Of course, it is normal when you are alive, but it is different after death.
It is possible for things like corpses to rise, evil ghosts to return home, and crawling out of graves. This is a very normal situation.
Wu Hongyu breathed out and stopped talking. She knew best whether the people in the village were alive or not.
Every old man who enters the ancestral hall will turn into a ghost after death, but because they have no money and cannot enter the village, the village is relatively safe now.
But it will be different in the future.
Soon the boat docked, with a small forest in front of it. Wu Hongyu did not stop the boat near the village because it was not easy to stop and the water there was very fast.
After passing through the woods, Yu Qian found that they were on the left side of the village, with Wu Hongyu leading the way with the girl on his back.
After walking along the mountain road for a while, they walked on a bluestone path and soon arrived in front of the village.
As Wu Hongyu said, there is indeed a well in front of the village, just under a big locust tree.
Yu Qian walked to the well and looked into the well. It was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen clearly.
The well seems to have no bottom, it is deep and deep.
After feeling it for a while, I didn't feel anything supernatural. It was just an ordinary well. It was no different from other wells except that it was a little deeper.
But thinking of what Wu Hongyu said, Yu Qian hesitated for a while and then took out three colorful seven-dollar ghost coins.
Somewhat distressed, he threw it into the well.
The colorful paper money floated towards the bottom of the well like fallen leaves.
Yu Qian stared at the three pieces of ghost money, saying that he didn't feel distressed would be a lie.
Suddenly, Yu Qian's eyes narrowed slightly.
The originally ordinary well has changed.
A blood-red hand suddenly appeared, grabbed three pieces of ghost money, and then quickly retracted it.
It was at this moment that Yu Qian felt something leaving.
Looking back at the village, Yu Qian showed a smile: "You are very lucky, you did not try to trick me, otherwise you would have died just now."
Wu Hongyu swallowed when she heard this. She knew that this young man had a backup plan.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the confidence to believe what she said directly.
Fortunately, I didn’t plan to kill Yu Qian, otherwise she would really die.
Yu Qian glanced at the well, his eyes flickering, he thought for a moment without looking further, turned around and walked directly towards the village.
He needs to get down to business. (End of chapter)
