Chapter 4 The Fragrance of Corpse
The scene in front of him scared all the Jianghu people around him out of their wits.
After traveling around the world for many years, they have not seen dead people before, but this is indeed the first time they have seen this corpse holding its head and smiling!
"Old Zhao...Old Zhao is dead!"
"Old Zhao was possessed by a ghost and cut off his head!"
"If we continue to stay in this ghost village, we will end up like this! I don't want to die yet! My mother-in-law is still waiting for me to go back in the city!"
A country man was already frightened. He lost his courage and ran out, throwing the fork in his hand. The steward didn't even have time to stop him when he saw the man rushing into the darkness.
What followed was a shrill scream.
Then the sound stopped suddenly.
The Jianghu guests who were originally thinking of escaping all stopped in their tracks, their faces pale and panicked.
"Never step away from the light!"
The man in charge finally found an opportunity. He immediately scolded the people around him and told them to stay where they were.
“Only by being popular can you hold back ghosts. If you run in alone, you will definitely die!” The manager scolded the Jianghu guest and tied the red rope to the wooden board. He held the rope with one hand and tied it with the other. On his own wrist: "We are surrounded by The ghosts here are targeting them. If we don’t die for them, they won’t be able to leave here. Don’t even think about running out of the village now. They won’t give way to us!
“If you want to live, Just follow me and break the incense! ”
The Jianghu people managed to gather themselves together.
The manager looked at the group of people around him and was furious.
Although there are few capable people near Qingzhou City, these few are all well-known.
A real meeting:
Hey! A bunch of trash!
You said it was all right.
There was no other way, the manager could only walk at the front, and the Jianghu people behind formed a line. As he walked, the shopkeeper mustered up his courage and said loudly:
"Yang people are taking advantage of the way to be sneaky. Get away!”
“Yang Ren took advantage of the road and retreated sneakily!”
His shouting and the lantern in his hand dispersed the darkness around him, and the Jianghu guests could finally see the surrounding scene. .
The deserted village is in ruins. There are long-abandoned houses in all directions. It can be barely seen that someone once lived in it. There is a big hole on the ground, covered with soil. I don’t know which kind-hearted corpse collector it is. The body was finally collected for them.
After seeing the surrounding environment clearly, the worried hearts of these Jianghu people finally relaxed a little.
Only the little girl in the crowd took out a yellow, pom-pom-like thing from her hand after looking around, holding it tightly in her hand with a serious face.
The group continued to move forward. After seeing the surrounding roads clearly, they soon arrived in the middle of this small village.
They finally saw an elm table placed in the center of the village. There was an incense altar on the table. Three incense sticks were placed on the incense altar and they were burning slowly.
The Jianghu guests were slightly shocked.
It has been almost four or five years since this ghost village appeared. According to the manager, it was because of these three incense sticks that the entire village became a ghost village. After such a long time, these three gray incense sticks are still burning.
A little firelight hangs above the three incense sticks, and white smoke floats upward.
The Wenxiang Gang’s method is indeed mysterious and magical!
“It’s just these three incense sticks. If you break them, the resentment in the village will dissipate!”
The manager immediately shouted. After listening to his words, the Jianghu guests looked at each other. , among them there was a brave young man who took a step and walked directly in the direction of the incense:
"I'm coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man had already arrived at the elm table.
He raised his big hand, aimed at the incense and grabbed it.
But before their eyes, all the Jianghu people froze when they saw his movements.
He seemed to be staring at Xiang, his eyes widened and filled with bloodshot eyes, and veins popped out on his forehead, but his hands could not touch Xiang at all.
"What's wrong?" the steward asked immediately, his voice tense.
"It's okay."
The young man's voice suddenly came. He didn't move, but his head began to slowly turn back.
Until it was completely turned 180 degrees, the young man's neck made an unbearable snap. There was a smile on his face, but blood began to flow from the corners of his mouth and eyes.
"I'm fine. Come here quickly, my supervisor, I broke the incense stick!"
The three pillars of incense are still intact, and there are no signs of being broken!
This strange scene finally broke down the psychological defenses of all the Jianghu guests. No one in the crowd screamed, and then the crowd dispersed like a crowd and ran away in all directions.
This time, the person in charge didn't even have time to stop them, and suddenly felt darkness in all directions, and the lantern in his hand was immediately extinguished.
In just a short moment, the only people around the steward were the little girl and a bald man who had never spoken.
Seeing the oppression of darkness, the little girl's face turned pale with fright. Several pairs of almost pure white palms stretched out from the darkness behind her, grabbing at her limbs.
"Yao Shou! The ghost is catching you!"
The little girl was so frightened that her soul flew away. When she threw the yellow ball in her hand, her whole body flashed past like a shadow, and in a blink of an eye she was gone. A few pairs of ghostly hands grabbed the little girl no longer, but the yellow cotton ball.
The steward’s expression also changed several times.
He originally thought that by leading a group of people to use their popularity to get rid of the ghost fragrance, he would be able to solve the task smoothly, but he didn't expect that this group of people would be so reluctant!
Grinning his teeth, stamping his feet, he took out a gourd from his arms and used the rope as a meteor hammer, knocking back batch after batch of ghosts. However, he did not expect to be directly hit by a fleeing Jianghu guest. The rope was broken.
Seeing the gourd flying into the darkness, the person in charge was dumbfounded.
In the end, he could only shout on the spot: "You mothers!"
The bald man was still calm. He took out a handful of packages wrapped in red cloth from his arms. , pulled off the red cloth, revealing a sword inside. "How much money can I add to take you out?"
"You can give me as much money as you want!" The steward was so angry that his conduct was also in chaos. He knew that it was impossible for him to rely on his own ability alone. Escape, if someone is willing to take him out, he doesn't care about money!
"I have money too! You take me out and I'll give it to you too!"
The little girl also shouted immediately. She still had three balls left in her hand, one of which was whining and popping out. The black smoke almost turned into a puddle of water and disappeared before my eyes.
Both the manager and the man could see that with the ball in her hand gone, her substitute method was also gone.
“Okay, follow.”
The bald man walked in front with a knife, and the two of them followed behind cautiously.
With every step he took, there were sounds of howling ghosts and wolves all around. The bald man glared, cursed and threw out the knife:
"You're a shit basin for crying! I'm so scared!"
He slashed with the knife, and a scream came from the darkness, and a translucent woman's head was cut off.
The steward's eyes opened sharply.
This is,
Butcher knife! ?
The butcher's knife is so evil that ghosts don't dare to approach it. This bald man seems to be a master of knife use, and this butcher's knife feels like a duck to water in his hand!
Help! Can kill!
The steward quickly followed.
The three of them walked out along the dirt road. Every few steps they took, the bald man swung a knife in the air. Every time he swung the knife, screams could be heard from around him. The further down they went, the man The faster he swung the knife, the smaller beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
'Trickier than I thought! '
Originally, the man did not expect to be able to break the incense left by the leader of the Wenxiang Gang. After all, the strength gap between the two sides was too big. Bai Laohui also dispatched almost half of the gang members to bring down the Wenxiang Gang. After driving out of Qingzhou, how could they destroy the treasure left behind?
But it is much easier to earn this "first aid money" by rescuing people.
He has been to this village before. Although it is dangerous, he can still get out.
But today, the sneaks in this village seem a bit excited?
Could it be because of being close to the incense?
‘If it doesn’t work, just leave these two guys here! ’
The man’s heart moved, and then he quickened his pace, planning to break out alone.
But before he took two steps, a huge ghost suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was a woman, wearing a bright red wedding dress. Her face could not be seen clearly, but she exuded a real resentment.
The bald man's heart trembled suddenly, and he slashed subconsciously, but the sword did not hit the woman.
He only felt the shadow of the knife making a detour, and in an instant it was slashing towards his neck.
In the eyes of the shopkeeper and the little girl, the bald man in front of them suddenly turned the blade of the knife and wiped his own neck in an instant.
Blood spurted out, and their faces were pale.
The fierce ghost in red!
There are actually evil things of this level in this village!
The man in charge was standing here, his soul floating outside. He suddenly screamed, pushed the girl next to him, and ran into the village in the blink of an eye and disappeared.
The girl didn't expect that the person in charge next to her would suddenly push her as a shield. She couldn't dodge and looked at each other directly with the bride in red.
The three balls in her hand exploded into two and a half instantly, and the remaining yellow cotton also disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The little girl's face was pale. She wanted to run away, but she found that the joints all over her body seemed to be rusted to death, and her body could not move at all.
It’s over!
I wanted to go into the village to get some treasures, but I didn’t expect that if I didn’t get the treasures, I would be killed by a ghost!
The bride slowly stretched out two fingers toward her eyes. The girl couldn't even close her eyes at this moment.
She could only watch as the blood-red nails got closer and closer to her eyes.
Suddenly,
There was a loud thunder on the ground!
The female ghost in red didn’t even have time to react, and exploded from her back to her chest.
Without even a single scream, it disappeared instantly and turned into flying ashes.
The darkness all around was suddenly torn open by this thunder, and turned into blue clouds and blue sky in an instant.
Half of the afternoon light shines through the partly thick and partly light clouds, casting uneven light across the village.
A Taoist carrying a bamboo basket slowly retracted his palm.
"Are you okay?"
He asked softly with a gentle attitude.
