The movement in the secret room was particularly loud. Lin Laosan was sitting at the entrance of the secret passage, holding a bottle of wine and eating roast chicken, looking as casual as he wanted.
At this moment, could it be seen that he was a seriously injured person?
The bandage marks on his body looked like nothing more than a piece of clothing. His movements were casual and there was no sign of any discomfort in his behavior. Although the corners of his mouth occasionally twitched, his expression had returned to normal at this time.
While eating, I listened to the sound coming from a copper pipe next to me. After listening carefully for a long time, I nodded with satisfaction.
"This kid is quite adaptable, but, alas~"
He shook his head slightly, although he was sighing, but there was no unnecessary expression on his face. After eating the whole roast chicken, he emptied the wine in the flask, and after cleaning up the garbage, he leisurely put his hands on himself.
Clean up the traces left behind.
Then he held a small gourd and stood next to the copper pipe. He held a talisman in the other hand and kept pouring some liquid from the copper pipe.
If you look carefully, you will surely find that a thick black liquid occasionally emerges from the copper tube, but it is different from ordinary liquids. It is like a shadow compressed to the extreme. If it is not taken away in time, it may be
It will disappear instantly.
At this time, Xu Guodong was still struggling in the secret room, being beaten around by ten dummies that were inexplicably resurrected. Everything in the room became weapons for these dummies.
With flying sticks, stone locks smashing around, and extremely powerful fists and kicks, these dummies seemed to be really alive. They had no idea what it meant to be merciful. Their crazy looks made Xu Guodong a little frightened.
He shouted, he struggled, he ran around, hurriedly avoiding, but there was no way. From the beginning, Lin Laosan ignored him, as if he had no idea what was going on in the secret room.
But those dummies went completely crazy. Every time they hit him or bumped into the dummies, it was as if power was injected into the bodies of these dummies, making them faster.
More power.
They don't have any physical exhaustion at all. There is no sign of energy depletion in their bodies. On the contrary, they are getting stronger and stronger. The black film covering the surface of their bodies is getting stronger and stronger as time goes by.
thickness.
In the end, the dummy completely turned into a person made up of black shadows.
Xu Guodong had no way to ask for help, and no one would come to this place to help him. He could only carry it and hold on alone, in order not to die...
His body was in pain from being beaten, every muscle was aching, and his bones seemed to be broken. However, these dummies seemed to have been negotiated, but Xu was not really hurt.
Guodong, on the contrary, the pain is getting more and more painful.
If there is another person watching, he will definitely find that as time goes by, a black film gradually appears on the surface of Xu Guodong's body, just like those dummies, and his movements become more and more...
With ease.
The speed of dodging is increasing, the speed of running is increasing, and the speed of counterattack is increasing.
It's just that the strength of those dummies increased much faster than Xu Guodong, so for a while, Xu Guodong's progress could not be seen at all.
And the shadow under him slowly became deeper and darker. Every minute, every second, every moment, his shadow was changing, twisting, becoming more active, and slowly...
Become like a real living creature.
With your own abilities, your own thoughts, your own actions...
"Uncle...you..."
Xu Guodong had been beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. There was no part of his body that was not in pain, but Lin Laosan still did not appear, and there was no sound.
In the secret room, black shadows are constantly dancing and struggling. Thin threads are centered on Xu Guodong and spread to every corner of the secret room until...
When Lin Laosan packed up everything and carried Xu Guodong out of the secret room, Xu Guodong was already in a state of half-death, and his consciousness began to become trance-like. In his opinion, this so-called magic practice was just a
Shit, he even suspected that Lin Laosan was here specifically to punish him.
Of course, Xu Guodong was completely unconscious at this time, and it was already two days later when he woke up again.
"Juan..."
His voice was dry and hoarse. At this time, Xu Guodong struggled to get up and finally opened his eyes, but he did not see Lin Juan's presence. Instead, Lin Laosan walked in from outside after hearing his voice.
"Boy, since you're awake, let's set off. You've already made the preparations you need to make. Now it's time to solve the problem in Linjia Village."
At this time, Lin Laosan had returned to his normal appearance, put on a new set of clothes, and the bandages on his body had long been removed.
"I fainted again? Third uncle, why don't I remember what spells I learned?"
Xu Guodong picked up the water glass from the side and drank some water. He felt relieved a lot, but in his mind, apart from being beaten, he had no experience of learning spells. He looked at Lin Laosan with doubts in his eyes.
"Okay, I said you learned it, and you must have learned it. Let's go. The situation in Linjia Village is very bad."
Without giving Xu Guodong much time to hesitate, Lin Laosan directly picked up Xu Guodong and strode out. He didn't know how many times he had gone through.
After taking countless turns along the long corridor, the two finally left the underground building complex.
What surprised Xu Guodong was that the place where they came out was actually an ancestral hall in the village.
He had never thought that there was a secret passage hidden in the ancestral hall in the village, but when he came out this time, the sight he saw made Xu Guodong dumbfounded.
When he walked out of the ancestral hall, what he saw was not the Linjia Village of the past, nor the ghostly and dark place he had imagined. Standing at the door of the ancestral hall, Xu Guodong rubbed his eyes, completely unable to believe what he saw.
This place is Linjia Village, where he has lived for three years.
There are some villages here and there. There are ruins everywhere, the houses are broken into pieces, and there is a vast ocean on the ground outside.
There is no trace of living life here at all. This ancestral hall has become the only building and the only house in the entire Linjia Village. It is like a large island in the sea, constantly swaying in the wind and rain.
The ancestral hall in Linjia Village is the highest place in the village, and it is relatively hidden. If there is no reason for the ancestral hall to be flooded, Xu Guodong will not believe it at all. After all, there are still some houses next to it, but this is
By then those houses had turned into ruins.
The tiles and mud and water residue were probably still falling, and Xu Guodong's heart had completely turned cold.
"Third uncle, this is..."
Xu Guodong pointed forward and turned to look at Lin Laosan.
"We had a fight here some time ago. It made a lot of noise and I was also injured. Later, a mudslide occurred in the village. By coincidence, it happened to cover half of the village. Don't worry.
, the villages on the other side of the ancestral hall are still there.”
"However...if this matter is not resolved, I'm afraid there won't be many ways to preserve the other half of the village. By then, there will be no need to preserve this village."
Lin Laosan smiled bitterly and pointed to the other door of the ancestral hall, with an inquiring expression on his face.
"Let me see!"
Xu Guodong rushed over, pushed the door open, and found that things were really just as Lin Laosan said, and the situation in this village was very strange, and everything was a coincidence.
The mudslide only covered the average village, while the other villages were only covered by heavy rain. Although the roads were muddy, the houses were still intact and did not look like they had suffered a catastrophe. However, the houses in this half of the village were full of ghosts. Just looking at them
It makes people feel a bit cold.
In the darkness, the lightless houses seemed to still have figures floating around, as if waving to Xu Guodong and the others...
