I asked An Xiaotian, since the things inside are so powerful, should we go in?

An Xiaotian glanced at the village and spat on the ground, "Come in, why don't you come in? I want to see what is in there, and it almost killed me!"

In order to prevent accidents, An Xiaotian asked me to walk side by side with him. He was holding tightly what he called a sky fire stick in his hand, but no matter how I looked at it, it looked like a fire stick.

I also took out the Shura Whip and held it tightly in my hand. Every step we took, we watched our surroundings vigilantly. The distance from the entrance to the village took us nearly half an hour.

The whole village was so quiet that you could hear a pindrop, not even the chirping of insects or birds, not a breath of wind, and time seemed to go straight.

The doors of the houses on both sides of the road are closed. Because they have not been taken care of for a long time, a layer of dark green moss has grown in some places.

After walking for a while, An Xiaotian suddenly stopped, touched his chin, and muttered, "Strange?"

But I was already thinking a lot, walking on these familiar roads, looking at the extremely familiar houses on both sides, my mind was full of memories from the past, and every corner here was full of my memories.

Memories, but now it has become a lifeless and uninhabited village.

My throat felt like it was blocked by something and my nose was sore.

"It's strange, there's no movement at all here." An Xiaotian said.

I took a long breath and said with a wry smile, "What's so strange about this? Everyone in the village has died long ago, so of course there was no movement."

"That's not what I'm talking about." An Xiaotian looked around, "Since there is such a strong ghost energy at the entrance of the village, but it is so clean here that you can't even sense the slightest ghost energy, this is a bit unreasonable.

"

As he spoke, he walked to the door of a small mud house nearby, touched a small piece of moss growing on the door beam with his hand, then put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

Then he reached over, but without using much force, the door creaked open and he pushed it open.

I am very familiar with this earthen house. It used to be the house of Lao Wangtou. Lao Wangtou did not have a very good reputation in the village before. He never got married in his life. He always lived alone and was selfish and greedy for petty gains. Therefore, the old Wangtou in the village used to

People don't like him very much.

The moment the door was pushed open, a musty and rotten smell hit the face. This was a bit abnormal, because rural people's houses have yards. If there is something rotten inside, there is no need to open the door.

, you can smell it even if you stand outside.

But why do I have to open the door to smell the smell this time?

And this smell disappeared in an instant like a gust of wind, a bit like something invisible ran out of it and then disappeared.

Because it had not been taken care of for a long time, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the inside of the house was in a dilapidated state. There was a thick layer of dust on the tables, chairs, benches and the floor, and the beams were covered with dense spider webs.

An Xiaotian frowned and said nothing. After looking at it for a while, he turned around and left. Then he pushed past several houses. They all had the same scene inside, with overgrown weeds and spider webs everywhere. They were all dilapidated.

scene.

I knew all the previous owners of these houses. Now seeing this scene, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

"When did you leave the village?" An Xiaotian asked me suddenly, his face was serious, and his two delicate eyebrows were knitted together, as if he was panicked.

I thought about it and said that it had been about three months since I left the village for the last time.

"Fuck!" An Xiaotian cursed fiercely after hearing this.

I quickly asked him what was going on, and looked back at a house full of weeds in the yard and said, "You have only been away here for more than three months, but if you look at these conditions, it seems that it only took more than three months to form them."

?”

I was stunned and suddenly shocked. When I entered the village just now, I was only focused on sadness and didn't pay attention to many details. Now when I heard Xiaohui say this, I felt that everything in the village was weird.

Take these yards and houses as an example. Even if no one has taken care of them for more than three months, the yard will not be full of weeds, moss will grow everywhere on the walls, and there will be accumulation on the tables, chairs and stools in the house.

A thick layer of gray.

This scene cannot be formed in more than three months. It looks like no one has lived here for at least several years!

"What...what's going on!" I was so surprised that I was speechless.

"You ask me who I'm going to ask!" An Xiaotian also looked a little nervous, "Why don't you only ask why when something happens, and use your own brain too!"

Then we walked around the village again, and the whole village looked like this, as if it had been uninhabited for many years.

It was also surprisingly quiet. Apart from our breathing and footsteps, there was no other sound at all. Not even a bird chirping or an insect chirping could be heard.

This extreme quietness makes people feel inexplicably panicked. Although it is still broad daylight, they still feel a chill on their backs.

And I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but I always feel like something has been following us since we entered the village.

An Xiaotian also felt the same way as me. Every time he walked for a while, he would look behind him from time to time.

"Tell me more about all the strange things that happened before you left the village, and all the details that you think are wrong."

An Xiaotian took out a cigarette and lit it, his face looked particularly solemn.

I tried to calm down my emotions, spent a long time recalling everything that happened in the village, and then told An Xiaotian everything.

An Xiaotian remained silent after hearing this. He just frowned and continued to smoke. In just over half an hour, he had already thrown cigarette butts all over the ground.

After a long while, he threw the last cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, "Let's go, first go to the village chief's house you mentioned!"

I took him to the door of the village chief's house, opened the door, and saw the same dilapidated scene inside, except that the five locust trees in the corner of the yard had dried up, and the pile of stones in the middle of the locust trees were scattered aside.

An Xiaotian walked over, pulled off a withered locust leaf and looked at it for a while, then put it under his nose and smelled it, his brows furrowed even more.

This time I didn't ask him why, because I myself saw something was wrong. Although the village was dilapidated, the plants were growing very well, but the death of these locust trees seemed very unnatural.

I also picked up a leaf and took a closer look in my hand. I found that the color was not quite right either. On the surface, it looked similar to ordinary dead leaves. However, upon closer inspection, I could see that these dead leaves were faintly mixed with some different colors.

Blood strands as thin as a hair.

I followed An Xiaotian's example and put the leaves in front of my nose and smelled them. I could smell a faint smell of blood.

There are five locust trees with some stones scattered in the middle. This pattern is somewhat similar to what I saw in the school grove.

It's just that the ones I saw in school were just five willow trees.

I also heard Long Xiaoman mention that this is a formation. If you plant a willow tree, it is a ghost-locking formation, but if you plant a locust tree, it is a ghost-attracting formation. The two are even slightly different, but their effects are completely opposite.

"Go find two tools and dig it out to see what's underneath." An Xiaotian threw away the leaves in his hands and said.

I quickly found two hoes in the yard. These things are very common in rural areas, every household has them, and they are basically placed in the yard.

An Xiaotian asked me to start digging from the middle. I moved the stones to one side, and then started digging with the hoe.

But when I hoeed down for the first time, I smelled a particularly strong smell of blood. After digging a few more times, I found that the soil was a little thin and dark red, as if it was soaked in blood.

In the end, I dug out a blood pit filled with blood.

An Xiaotian stirred his fire stick in the blood pit, and the blood immediately rolled around, like a red-hot iron placed in the water, making a sizzling sound and constantly emitting red mist.

.

After a while, the blood evaporated cleanly, and what appeared at the bottom of the blood pit was a red blood snake as thick as a thumb, exactly the same as the one I saw at the entrance of the village before, except that this one was much smaller.

Hiss——

When this little blood snake saw us, it immediately stood up, stared with a pair of blood-red eyes, and hissed and spat out a message.

"Fuck you!"

Without saying a word, An Xiaotian picked up the fire stick and hit the blood snake hard on the head. The poor blood snake was hit with a bang and turned into a ball of red mist and disappeared.

I asked you why you beat it to death?

An Xiaotian glared at me, "Don't ask stupid questions all the time. If you don't beat it to death, do you have to wait for it to grow up? If you wait until it grows to the size of the one at the entrance of the village, I can't guarantee that there will be more."

Just good luck."

Then, An Xiaotian asked me to dig up all five locust trees. It took me a lot of effort to dig out these five trees.

What appeared in front of me were five skulls. It turned out that these five locust trees were actually planted in five human heads!

"Holy shit! It belongs to his uncle!"

An Xiaotian cursed when he saw this scene, raised the fire stick in his hand and knocked the five skeletons to pieces, then glared at me and said, "Who are the people in your village? These things are...

If you dare to bring it into your own home, you won’t even know how you died!"

I told him about the old woman who lived hundreds of years and the village chief, and said, "That old monster who lived hundreds of years originally wanted to kill the entire village."

An Xiaotian muttered, saying that the people in your village didn't know what evil they had done in their previous lives, and that people killed by this formation would find it difficult to reincarnate.

I was too lazy to talk to him, as if all this was the same as mine, I asked him what to do next.

He looked at the skull he had smashed on the ground and said, "Go to the basement you mentioned."

I pushed open the door of the village chief's house, which was also in a dilapidated state. I opened the small door on the wall that led to the basement. Just as I was about to walk in, I was stopped by An Xiaotian, who made a silence sound to me.
