There are only a few pages of diary, and the writing is not detailed.
Especially the last few sentences seem to reveal a bit of pleading and anxiety.
Zhou Fan closed his notes and began to meditate and organize his thoughts.
First, the old village chief dug out a coffin from the mountains. Inside the coffin was a mother and daughter.
They were originally corpses, but later came to life for some reason.
The resurrection of the corpse should be related to the old village chief.
But his intention to do all this is still unclear.
The old village chief often disappeared. The men in the village must have coveted the beauty of the female corpse, and often took advantage of the old village chief's absence to talk to the female corpse all night long.
Of course, the consequence should be to be drained of essence and die.
The embroidered shoes belong to Liu Tong, who should be the child corpse.
Zhou Fan had noticed before that the embroidered shoes were only as big as a palm and could not be worn by normal adults. They could only belong to girls.
But one thing made him doubtful, that is, the bloody human skin was clearly that of a woman, and its appearance was completely different from that of a child.
The appearance of the human skin is very similar to the statue of a god.
"sand!"
"rustle!"
Just when Zhou Fan was deep in thought, a slight sound suddenly came from outside the ancestral hall.
After waking up with a start, he turned around and saw a black civet cat standing outside the ancestral hall door.
"Junior! Why don't you kneel down and salute me when you see this cat god!"
The civet cat suddenly uttered human words, and its majestic gaze fell on Zhou Fan, making him stunned for a while.
The civet cat could actually talk, which simply subverted his cognition.
Zhou Fan, who had a shocked face, accidentally stepped on the boy lying next to him, causing him to groan unconsciously.
The boy's muffled snort made the originally majestic civet cat outside the ancestral hall suddenly change his expression and become amiable.
"I don't care about you as a junior! Let me ask you, do you want to leave here alive?"
The civet cat put away its power and asked kindly!
Zhou Fan nodded subconsciously, and the civet cat waved to Zhou Fan and said, "Come here, I'll tell you how to get out of here."
When Zhou Fan heard this, he stood still and replied: "I'd better wait until my companion wakes up!"
"He is recovering from his injuries and should wake up soon!"
The civet cat outside the ancestral hall shrank its pupils slightly upon hearing this, and its gaze turned cold as it stared at Zhou Fan.
"Junior! You don't trust this cat god?"
"It's too dangerous outside, why don't you come in and tell me?"
Zhou Fan remained unmoved and suggested instead!
"Hmph! With this cat god here, no monster dares to approach easily!"
Faced with Zhou Fan's proposal, the civet cat just snorted dissatisfiedly but did not move.
"Don't think that you are safe if you stay in the ancestral hall. The statue will come to life at dawn and kill you then."
"If you want to survive, you must first kill the female corpse inside the statue so that you can escape from here."
Not wanting to waste time beating around the bush, the civet cat quickly warned and encouraged Zhou Fan to kill the female corpse inside the statue.
Zhou Fan was a little shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that there was a female corpse inside the statue.
However, he did not believe Tanuki's one-sided words.
So seeing is believing, so he went directly to the statue and slashed at the stone statue with the boy's sword.
There was a clang, but the young man's sword was still very sharp.
Even the solid stone statue was cut with a deep dent at this moment.
The bright red blood quickly flowed out, causing Zhou Fan, who was holding the sword, to take two steps back in surprise.
"Woo~"
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. A pair of embroidered shoes rushed into the ancestral hall. After a complete human skin of a woman emerged, they rushed towards Zhou Fan who was holding a sword.
Zhou Fan was startled and quickly retreated to hide next to the statue.
Just when he was about to swing his sword to resist the oncoming human-skin embroidered shoes, he unexpectedly noticed that the statue of the god was emitting a hazy light.
The light shield formed by the hazy light instantly shook the embroidered human leather shoes away.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the embroidered leather shoes hitting the light mask like crazy.
"Hurry up and kill the corpse inside the statue. The skin belongs to the female corpse. Once the corpse dies, the skin will naturally die."
At this time, the civet cat's anxious urging sounded outside the ancestral hall.
When Zhou Fan saw that the light emitted by the statue was gradually dimming, he did not dare to hesitate and quickly raised the sword in his hand.
But before he could chop, he suddenly put away his sword with a slight sigh.
I saw him curiously working together with his hands to slowly push the statue away.
"Boom!"
"Rumble..."
Immediately afterwards, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Before Zhou Fan could react, two black wooden coffins slowly emerged from the ground.
"Boy! What are you doing?"
The civet cat outside the ancestral hall yelled anxiously at this moment, but could not hold back and rushed into the ancestral hall.
At the same time, the embroidered shoe human skin who madly attacked the mask of the idol suddenly rushed towards the civet cat and fought with it instantly.
Zhou Fan ignored the embroidered shoes and civet cat, but immediately stepped forward and opened the coffin lid.
It did not surprise him that the old village chief with a withered face and a girl who looked like a porcelain doll were buried in the two coffins.
"stop!"
Zhou Fan suddenly shouted loudly and pointed the tip of his sword at the two coffins.
The civet cat and the embroidered shoe human skin, which were still fighting in the ancestral hall, all froze at this moment.
Soon, a piercing scream came from the embroidered shoe leather.
It obviously had no intelligence, so it rushed towards Zhou Fan again, and was then knocked away by the idol's light shield.
The mask of the idol can cause fatal damage to the human skin of the embroidered shoes. The mask can burn the human skin every time.
But the human skin of the embroidered shoes seemed to be unaware of the pain, and was still flying into the flames.
Instead, the civet cat on the side was watching the show, staring at Zhou Fan inside the statue's light shield with twinkling eyes.
"Give it back!"
Suddenly, Zhou Fan actually picked up the little girl's body and threw it towards the embroidered shoe human skin that was frantically attacking the idol's mask.
With the girl's body in his arms, the crazy embroidered shoes suddenly became quiet.
"Junior! What are you doing?"
The civet cat who was watching the show suddenly lost his composure and angrily questioned Zhou Fandao.
It immediately rushed towards the embroidered shoe, but stopped abruptly because of Zhou Fan's words.
"Old village chief! Do you think if I cut you with this sword, your body and you will die?"
Zhou Fan asked with a hint of tapping from the side, causing the civet cat's pupils to flash with a cold light.
"Boy! What do you mean?"
Naturally, it was impossible for the civet cat to admit it, so he could only pretend to be ignorant and ask questions.
"Old village chief! Your biggest flaw is that you shouldn't imitate my cousin's handwriting!"
"That diary was left behind after she translated it. You were so clever that you changed the last line."
"The correct text should be that the old house is safe, the statues have ghost corpses, and the cats cannot be trusted."
"Don't go near the ancient well and the coffin will eat people. You should have added it later yourself, right?"
Zhou Fan slowly narrated, his eyes fixed on the changes in the civet cat's expression.
After seeing that it was silent, he continued to speak: "The two unlucky guys last night were probably bewitched by you and were attacked by you."
"There should still be a lot of blood stains on your sharp cat claws, right?"
Zhou Fan's eyes fell on the civet cat's claws and found that it had retracted its sharp claws.
Without waiting for the other party to defend himself, he continued: "The young man who escaped into the ancestral hall last night must have been the bait you deliberately left, right?"
"Of course, you should also be very afraid of him!"
"Otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious to show up. Maybe he's afraid that he'll wake up and be alert and pose a threat to you, right?"
Every time Zhou Fan asked a question, the civet cat's eyes became colder.
"The runes all over the statue in the ancestral hall can not only suppress the female corpse but also get rid of evil things, so you and the weird human skin can't get close."
"You want to use my hand to kill the female corpse to eliminate the problem of the human skin embroidered shoes, so that you can seize the original corpse in the coffin, or the little girl's corpse to resurrect the soul. Am I right?"
Zhou Fan's guesses were almost accurate, and the civet cat, full of murderous intent, finally spoke.
"You are very smart! But smart people often don't live long..."
Before the civet cat could finish its murderous threatening words, it was forcibly interrupted by Zhou Fan.
"Are you holding on to time and waiting for dawn?"
"let me guess!"
"The light of the statue should fade away after dawn. Besides being unable to touch the statue, it should be easy to kill me if you get close to the statue, right?"
Zhou Fan came down with a somewhat mocking voice and already raised his long sword to slash at the coffin.
"you dare!"
The angry civet cat screamed and rushed towards Zhou Fan in an instant.
"Pfft!"
But it was obviously a step slower, and with a popping sound, a big head rolled down.
After the old village chief was killed by Zhou Fan with a sword, the dense runes carved on his body turned into blazing flames and enveloped his entire body.
"ah......"
Amidst the squeaking sounds, Zhou Fan heard shrill screams coming from the corpse of the old village chief and the civet cat not far away.
He was shocked to find that the civet cat had burned itself without fire, and was engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye.
The shrill screams lasted only a dozen breaths.
As the screams suddenly stopped, two clusters of blackened ashes appeared on the ground.
"Thank you for your kindness! I will give you embroidered shoes!"
In the silent ancestral hall, a child's voice like a silver bell suddenly sounded.
Zhou Fan came to his senses in shock and immediately saw a red light rushing out of the ancestral hall in the blink of an eye.
The girl's body and the bloody human skin were gone, leaving only a pair of motionless embroidered shoes.
"The body is still alive?"
When Zhou Fan came back to his senses, he felt horrified. He didn't expect that the girl's body was still conscious.
Looking at the gradually brightening sky outside, Zhou Fan did not dare to stay in the ancestral hall for any longer.
He walked towards the embroidered shoes and touched them carefully, then put them away after finding no danger.
His intuition told him that embroidered shoes might be a good thing.
Zhou Fan, who did not dare to delay, quickly walked to the desk and carried the unconscious young man on his back.
He cautiously left the ancestral hall, and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there seemed to be no danger outside.
After leaving the ancestral hall, he couldn't help but pause when passing the square ancient well.
He saw that the compass had no response, and his body no longer issued warnings.
So I couldn't help my curiosity, so I went down along the vines on the edge of the ancient well.
Not long after entering the ancient well, Zhou Fan climbed out of the ancient well with a pale face, vowing to get rid of his bad habit of curiosity in the future.
He picked up the unconscious young man on his back again and ran away towards the outside of the village.
At the same time, the statues in the ancestral hall began to gradually crack and fall apart.
Zhou Fan was not at the ancestral hall, otherwise he would have been shocked.
Inside the statue is not a bloody corpse with human skin peeled off, but a beautiful woman with skin as thick as clotted fat and a moon-shy flower.
