Chapter 164 Borrowing Life (Thousands of Days, Thanks to the Leader of Zanarkand)

Willow Leaf Village.

This is a small village built on the mountain, with a large number of rice fields planted around the village.

It is mid-July now, the weather is still hot, and the rice in the paddy fields is growing very well. I think this year will be another bumper harvest.

At the same time, there are many willow trees everywhere in this village. This village also got its name because of the many willow trees here.

He Wenzhi concentrated on driving the black business car, while driving along with Wei Xing.

On the way, Wei Xing also tried his best to comfort Liu Mei's daughter, and learned about the situation there through the phone.

He Wenzhi turned the steering wheel, and after the car turned into the path that could only accommodate one car, he saw rice fields one after another on both sides.

Open the car window and you can smell the unique smell emanating from the fields.

Driving on this road in the fields, your ears are filled with the sound of frogs chirping and insects, and you can even see some fireflies flying around.

It’s dotted with stars, quite pretty.

At the same time, as vehicles continue to advance on this trail, from time to time you can see several large willow trees planted on the roadside.

Those willow trees seem to be many years old. The bark is rough and cracked, the tree trunks are thick, each branch is drooping, and it is covered with leaves, which is very lush.

It is actually quite rare for so many willow trees to be planted.

In his previous life on earth, He Wenzhi had never seen such a situation. In this life, it was a different world, and it did not occur to him in his impression.

Mainly, he had heard some things about willow trees before.

Actually, this statement is quite controversial. Some say that willow trees attract ghosts, while others say that willow trees ward off evil spirits.

When he was still on earth in his previous life, he followed his elders to a relative's house as a guest, and then he saw a thick willow tree planted in front of his relative's house.

The willow tree was not very tall, and the hanging branches seemed to He Wenzhi, who was still young at the time, to reach out and grab them as long as he jumped up.

It was just that it was already very late at that time, the willow tree branches were drooping, and it was an old earth-tile house at that time. When I looked at it suddenly, it looked gloomy and looked down like a ghost. Just like pounce.

Originally, he didn't feel that way, but he saw a TV series about ghosts on TV some time ago, it seemed to be called [Liao Zhai] or something.

It’s just such an episode, it can only be said to be quite coincidental.

In that episode, it was mentioned that some of these tree branches looked like people, with trunks and limbs, so there was a high possibility that there would be ghosts attached to them.

He Wenzhi was young at the time, and watching TV had pictures, dialogue sounds and background music. Seeing such gloomy pictures and background music full of underworld style, he I was shocked at that time.

So this time when he came to a relative's house and saw this drooping willow tree, he was so frightened that he quickly grabbed the elder's hand and asked if there might be a ghost hanging on it.

Will that ghost suddenly pounce on him and take him away...

To be honest, He Wenzhi was quite cute back then at that young age. At least those ghosts would definitely like him more than he is now. He asked about the past.

At that time, he timidly looked at the drooping willow tree and said those words. The elder looked stern and told him to stop talking nonsense.

The elders said how could there be a ghost here? Willow trees were planted in front of the door to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety.

Immediately afterwards, he said something about this.

It is said that willow trees are related to one of the twenty-eight constellations, so some people will plant willow trees in front of their homes.

The purpose of this is to keep the home safe and allow the whole family to enjoy a peaceful and stable life.

Moreover, according to what the old man said, ghosts are actually very afraid of willow trees. They dare not approach willow trees easily. If they do, they will be restrained and tied up by the willow branches and will never be able to escape.

So, it is completely nonsense to say that there will be ghosts attached to it.

Also, the homophone of willow is to stay. It is said that if someone in the family is seriously ill, then when the black and white impermanence comes to summon the soul, the willow tree can play the role of warding off evil spirits, thereby allowing the loved one to stay. The soul will not be taken away.

This is what the elders told He Wenzhi at that time, and he was still young at that time, so he listened with great interest and was very fascinated. He still remembers it to this day.

The elders also told him that what was shown on TV was all a lie. After all, it was all staged, so don’t believe it.

But later on, there was a family whose children were disobedient, always making mistakes, and always liked to confront others.

The adults wanted to teach the children a lesson, but they couldn't find a whip when they were looking for it, so someone went to the willow tree at the door and broke off a few branches, saying that they couldn't find a whip and could use this to whip them.

The wicker is long, thin, and so flexible. Isn’t it better to spank a child with it than with a whip?

In addition, the surface of the willow branches is uneven. If you remove the leaves, there will still be many sharp and convex places. It is guaranteed to leave a swollen mark when you pull it!

Use this to whip a naughty child, and you will definitely hit it accurately, and you will definitely scream when you use the whip.

The person who proposed using the wicker said this, and he was quite arrogant at the same time. As a result, he was immediately scolded by the elders, saying how to use this to draw out the soul.

Now think about it, if the willow tree really has the effect of entangling ghosts, can it really suck out the soul?

Although it is just some folk sayings on earth, this world is a world where ghosts and monsters are rampant and spiritual energy is revived!

However, if we must say that wicker can really draw out the soul, this seems to be more of a disadvantage than auspiciousness.

In addition to being said to be able to ward off evil spirits and keep the home safe, there is also another folk saying that willow trees are an unlucky thing. Not only can they not ward off evil spirits, but they can also easily attract ghosts.

He Wenzhi was still young at that time, and he was very curious about such mysterious things.

As an ordinary person, he would definitely not dare to go to any of the rumored haunted places, so he just looked up information online to satisfy his curiosity.

After all, there was an old man talking about warding off evil spirits and ensuring safety, but now there is a completely opposite statement.

Then he discovered that some of the statements on the Internet looked quite decent.

It is said that in ancient times, the willow tree was called one of the four ghost trees.

Legend has it that it is a gathering place for ghosts and ghosts, and it can attract the attention of many evil spirits. The ghost energy itself is extremely strong and very scary.

And in some ancient poems and songs, people like to use words such as willow tree, or willow slender waist, to describe women, and women themselves are representatives of femininity.

So at that time, some people on the Internet said that from many perspectives, the willow tree is Yin, and it is also easy to gather more Yin energy and attract many ghosts.

In short, there are different opinions. Some insist that it is good, while others insist that it is bad. From two standpoints, no one accepts the other.

He Wenzhi was just curious at the time, so he would look at both sides.

In the end, those were just some rumors he had heard on Earth in his previous life. Now that he is in this world, he has no idea what it is like.

However, according to the weird level of this world, maybe the rumors of the past will become a reality today.

In short, ever since He Wenzhi drove his black business car into the area of ​​Liuye Village, he felt extremely cold whenever he passed by the willow trees.

As an era of spiritual recovery, it seems that some things can no longer be thought of in conventional ways.

While thinking about this, the night sky that was still filled with nebulae suddenly became gloomy.

A gust of wind came violently, bringing with it a thick dark cloud, covering the night sky.

At this moment, the atmosphere in Liuye Village became a little weird.

As we go deeper into Liuye Village, the sounds of frogs and insects disappear, and the fireflies that can still be seen are gone.

Extreme silence, as if it were death.

At this moment, the girl who was talking on the phone to Wei Xing next to her suddenly screamed.

Wei Xing asked hurriedly: "Little sister, what's wrong with you? What happened? Don't be afraid, brother is here now, he will be there soon!

There is also a very powerful one Big brother is here too, you will be fine!"

"No, no..." the girl whispered, her voice already a little hoarse from crying before.

She said hoarsely: "I was hiding in the room just now because I was afraid, and I didn't dare to go out. Then...then...there was suddenly no sound outside, and there was someone knocking on the door just now...I was so scared, I was so good Scared..."

"Don't open the door! You hide now and don't look out the window, we'll be here soon!" He Wenzhi said as the car drove into the village.

After finding a place to park the car, the two hurriedly got out of the car and ran towards Liu Mei's house.

Wei Xing has visited Liuye Village several times with his mother Liu Yuqing before, so he still has an impression of the location of some houses.

Because Wei Xing was running too slowly, He Wenzhi asked him to tell him where he was, and then he picked him up like a chicken, and then he suddenly rushed towards him. Rush forward.

Wei Xing originally wanted to continue to comfort the girl on the phone, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a strong wind poured into his mouth, and at the same time, some wind and sand flew in.

My face hurts and my mouth hurts too.

Especially after taking a bite of the sandy wind, he felt his mouth was dry and astringent, so he hurriedly closed his mouth, not daring to speak anymore.

Bang!

Arrived at the door of Liu Mei's house, He Wenzhi didn't bother to knock on the door.

Everyone already knew that something was going on here, and no one might answer the door if he knocked on the door. It would completely waste time, so he violently kicked the door open and rushed in instantly.

The lights were on and the room was still in a mess.

The moment I rushed in, I could already smell the strong smell of blood.

The walls, floor, tables and chairs, and other things inside were all stained with blood.

He Wenzhi narrowed his eyes and walked inside following the blood stains.

He stepped forward and opened the half-covered curtain in front of him. The smell of blood was even stronger behind it.

Wei Xing followed closely, and with just one glance, he almost vomited.

Minced meat, rotten meat, and bones were splashed everywhere in the entire small room. On the ground next to it, there were twisted and bloody limbs, and the head of a woman who still maintained a crazy smile. .

The head rolled on the ground, and the two eyes were staring straight at the door. The weird smile was full of blood, and the expression on the face looked unusually scary. people.

On the other side, there is a man with a kitchen knife in his hand, gray hair, wearing only a pair of large pants, and his skin is as loose as that of an eighty or ninety-year-old man.

He leaned in front of the door, which was covered with bloody handprints. He sat slumped powerlessly, completely lifeless.

Seeing this scene, He Wenzhi could probably guess what was going on.

Liu Mei’s husband attracted dirty things because he won dead money.

You say you win money, but in fact you lose your life.

As his wife, Liu Mei was also implicated.

The man was possessed by an evil spirit, aged rapidly within a few days, and mutilated Liu Mei.

The knock on the door that the girl mentioned on the phone just now was probably caused by this man knocking on the door.

Having been possessed by the evil spirit, he was probably not even planning to let his daughter go.

Fortunately, the girl was scared and hid in the room when she saw her parents laughing crazily, thus escaping the disaster.

He Wenzhi turned around and took a look. Wei Xing could no longer stand such a bloody scene and ran to the door to vomit.

After looking at him at the door, He Wenzhi stopped thinking and walked directly to the door.

I turned the door handle and found it was locked.

He thought for a moment, then forcefully used his arm to open the door violently.

The lights were on in the room, but not very bright.

The quilt on the bed was raised high, and the girl's weak sobbing sound came from inside.

She was so scared that even the quilt was shaking, but she didn't dare to make too much noise for fear of attracting something.

Hearing the door being broken open, the bulging quilt shook even more.

Carefully, she mustered up the courage to stick out her little head, and looked over with a pair of red and swollen eyes.

"It's me, the person who talked to you on the phone just now, don't be afraid." He Wenzhijin said.

He stood at the door of the room, blocking everything outside the door.

Seeing that someone finally came, the girl breathed a sigh of relief.

The weird looks of her parents, as well as the screams and chopping sounds before, scared her so much that she still hasn’t recovered yet.

She had never met He Wenzhi before, he was just a stranger, but now even a stranger can still make her feel at ease.

Because... at least this is a person.

Her little body crawled out of the bed, her hands were squeezing tightly because of fear, and they were already turning white.

Even her lips were bitten by herself.

Seeing her appearance and small stature, He Wenzhi thought of Han Yumeng inexplicably.

"Oh." He couldn't help but sigh, walked forward and hugged the little girl, and at the same time aroused Yang Huo to test it.

This is indeed a living person.

Every corner of her body, inside and outside, was scanned by He Wenzhi, and there was nothing unusual.

Her body was very light and she was shaking violently.

He Wenzhi pressed her face against his chest and covered her eyes to prevent her from seeing the bloody scene.

Quickly walking out of the house, he put the girl into the car, and then asked Wei Xing to accompany her.

He himself stood outside the car, took out his mobile phone and made a call to Captain Chen.

Of course there is no problem in asking about ghosts, but now there is a human life, and it is still such a bloody scene of mutilated corpses.

This kind of thing still needs the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau to deal with the aftermath.

He Wenzhi didn't want to waste time and kept the conversation short on the phone. After hanging up, he leaned against the car door and thought about the matter.

In the house at that time, ghost coins were everywhere, and many of them were soaked in blood and turned red.

If Liu Mei’s husband was gambling on his life at that time, then Liu Mei did not join in the gambling.

Although she was dismembered and died by her husband, her daughter also said on the phone at that time that Liu Mei was also crazy at the time, holding the ghost coins with both hands and giggling.

Then why did she fall into madness?

At this moment, Wei Xing suddenly stuck his head out of the car window and said something.

"Sir, I suddenly remembered something."

"Say."

Wei Xing turned to look at the girl who was gradually calming down. Car, lowered his voice and said: "When I met Liu Mei on the road with my mother that day, she talked about that incident and took some money out..."

According to Wei Xing, Liu Mei felt that the money was unreliable at that time, so she asked Liu Yuqing, the proprietress, to help take a look.

Don’t all the money have numbers on it? Maybe we can find out something through those numbers?

Liu Yuqing originally didn't want to help. If there was really a problem with the money and she went to check, wouldn't that mean she was looking for trouble?

Just thinking that this fellow, as a woman, has to bear the burden of a family, Liu Yuqing, who is also a woman, felt soft in her heart.

Although I didn’t really plan to check anything, I still accepted the money, saying that I would check it out, but thinking in my heart that the investigation would be unnecessary. If anything happens to the other party in the future, Please help as much as possible.

"Could it be because of contact with this dead man's money?" He Wenzhi asked.

Wei Xing shook his head: "I don't know either, because I was there when Liu Mei gave the money. It was quite normal for me to see the money at that time, but when I saw the scene in the room just now, I still... There are Ming coins covered with blood on the ground..."

Wei Xing said, but did not continue talking, but became a little worried.

"Sir, my mother..."

"Don't think too much." He Wenzhi waved his hand: "You want to see people in life, and you want to see corpses in death. Now people are still If you haven’t found it, don’t always think about the bad, think more about the good.”

Despite the words of comfort, why hasn't Master Wang brought the dog?

When I left the breeding farm before, I told the big brother on duty at the door that if Mr. Wang came with the dog, let him go to Liuye Village.

Wang Daochang has been to the breeding farm several times, and the big brother on duty has seen it before, and he also takes the dog with him, so he is not worried about admitting his mistake.

As for Liuye Village, Daochang Wang has walked this road more than He has asked. He should know him. If he really doesn’t know him, he can ask him at the breeding farm.

Even if his mobile phone is out of battery, he can borrow a charger to charge it when he arrives at the farm.

But it's already past eleven o'clock, why haven't you come yet?

He called Daozhang Wang again, but he still reminded that the other party had turned off his phone.

A sense of uneasiness grew heavier and heavier in He Wenzhi's heart.

Right now, there is no clue about this supernatural gambling incident. After all, the gambling is over, and the source is difficult to find.

Originally, I planned to go to the proprietress Liu Yuqing first, but she got involved in this matter again.

Moreover, the dog has not come for a long time. As soon as it comes, give it a few pieces of the boss lady's clothes, inside and outside, and let it smell it. Maybe it can be found through the dog's keen sense of smell.

Also, if you smell the dead money, maybe the dog can also find the source of the gambling.

Thinking in his mind, He Wenzhi had already made a decision.

As soon as Captain Chen brings someone here, he will leave first to see the situation.

After waiting for Taoist Wang for such a long time before he came, He Wenzhi asked Deputy Team Wei to help adjust the surveillance along the way.

Daochang Wang did get in the car and came here indeed.

Just after leaving the city, there were very few surveillances on this road, and it was such a thick fog, so Deputy Wei couldn't find anything at all for a while.

Therefore, He Wenzhi planned to look for it along the way to see if he encountered any trouble on the road.

Finally, near twelve o'clock, Captain Chen rushed over with a group of people.

After carefully inspecting the scene, Captain Chen said that this was indeed a gamble on life.

In this bet, whether you win or lose, it is meaningless.

Because even if you win all the money, you will still lose your life in the end, and the money won may not be real money.

Once one is hit, one's life will either elapse rapidly in a short period of time, or one will die miserably and unexpectedly.

“Ask me, have you ever heard of borrowing your life?” Captain Chen said suddenly.

"I've heard of it." Regarding the word "borrowing life", he mentioned it once when he asked Li Ziru to check the situation with Han Yumeng at the Ghost Street Pharmacy.

According to Li Ziru, Han Yumeng was destined to die young. The reason why she is able to survive until now is not only the lives of her close relatives, but also the greater possibility of "borrowing lives".

And the life Han Yumeng borrowed was probably not a human life.

At this time, Captain Chen took a deep breath from the cigarette, and the faint white smoke blew out of his mouth.

Just listen to him say: "People can borrow lives from ghosts, and ghosts can also borrow lives from people! If you ask me, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple..."

"Team Chen, you just Stop lying." He Wenzhi looked at Captain Chen, this guy always liked to lie.

Captain Chen nodded. After finishing one cigarette, he lit another one.

Seeing his appearance, this matter seems to be really troublesome.

“Ask me, I have always only heard of ghosts harming people’s lives. How often have you heard of ghosts borrowing lives?”

“Now that ghosts are doing this, there must be a reason. After all, The lives taken by force cannot be used, only those borrowed or exchanged can be used..."

He Wenzhi frowned: "What do you mean..."

"I'm afraid those ghosts want to create a monster with a human life..."

"A monster with the body of a living person..."

Again Thousands of dollars per day, please vote for me!
