Chapter 180: The Village Chief of the Ghost Village
Chapter 180: The Village Chief of the Ghost Village
The little girl ran away.
He ran towards the village crying loudly.
She knew that her father was gone.
The second uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle said that a brutal creature twisted off her father's head.
Then they roasted her father alive and ate him by the river.
And he doesn't spit out fish bones.
Because the fish bones are roasted until crispy.
It's crunchy and tastes great.
"Huang Er, I probably won't eat fish anymore."
Chen Huangpi followed the little girl back to the village in the dark, comforting himself: "The little girl is a human, and the human-faced fish is a human-faced fish. They are not the same species. How could I eat her father?"
"She must be ignorant and mistakenly recognized the monster as her father."
But having said that, Chen Huangpi still had the urge to retch.
Anyway, he will never want to eat fish again.
The brass lamp consoled him, "We have all the evidence in our hands. It's just a few eyewitnesses. If all else fails, we can strike back and let the little girl's uncles and her father reunite in your belly."
"Isn't this bad..."
Chen Huangpi said hesitantly: "There are a lot of fish in the water. If I don't clean it well, wouldn't that little girl know that I was watching her by the river at that time?"
"Master, all murderers are like this."
The soul-seeking ghost said with a hint of complacency: "When I was on duty in Yama Palace, I read many files. Many criminals in the human world would run back to the crime scene to admire their own masterpieces after killing someone."
"So you don't have to mind."
"Killing one is killing, killing them all is also killing."
The soul-claiming ghost advocates killing everyone.
This ghost place is very strange, and there is also a mysterious village chief who can actually detect people coming from outside.
If he knew that it was Chen Huangpi who ate the girl's father.
Maybe it's another troublesome thing.
Chen Huangpi knew this very well, but he still refused, saying, "That little girl looks pitiful. If I kill her and all the villagers in the village, what difference will there be between me and those monks?"
"Besides, we are here to find fishing rods, so it is best to investigate clearly before making any plans."
Listen to what Chen Huangpi said.
The soul-seeking ghost and the brass oil lamp looked at each other and were speechless.
Aren’t you going to kill the human-faced fish?
How come when it comes to Chen Huangpi, he wants to kill the little girl and all the villagers?
You have to be kidding.
At this time, the little girl also returned to the village.
At the entrance of the village stands a tall stone pillar.
A piece of tattered red cloth was wrapped around the stone pillar, with three words faintly written on it.
But those three words have long been blurred.
Chen Huangpi looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was written.
I could only vaguely see the first word which seemed to be "Zhen", and the other two were unrecognizable.
But this word "Zhen" seemed familiar to Chen Huangpi.
He had seen the same font on the door of the Tomb of the Gods before, with flying dragons and phoenixes and an indescribable charm.
Entered this village.
Chen Huangpi saw some villagers who were also wearing tattered clothes but had reached the Nascent Soul stage, surrounding the crying little girl and asking her questions non-stop.
After they found out the answer, the villagers' expressions became extremely complicated.
However, the villagers did not make any comment on this and instead left in a hurry.
What’s even stranger is that the little girl seemed to have gotten used to it a long time ago.
He walked towards a house built of stones and trees at the innermost part of the village.
What you see along the way.
This village is like a forgotten ancient village.
Moreover, Chen Huangpi did not see the monks of Du'e Xingzhe, and did not even feel their aura.
"really weird."
Chen Huangpi whispered, "Didn't the village chief say that there were a lot of evil spirits coming in from outside? Could it be that we guessed wrong, and the evil spirits didn't refer to Du'e Xingzhe and his group?"
It's not just this village.
The brass oil lamp had even released its divine consciousness long ago, constantly exploring the world in the river.
But it also achieved nothing.
It was as if the group of Du'e Xingzhe, who were also drawn into this world in the river, were not in the same world as them.
At this time, the little girl also arrived at her destination.
dong dong dong...
There was a knock on the door.
The next second, the door of the house creaked open.
Then an old farmer wearing coarse linen clothes and with dark skin appeared at the door.
This old farmer has very strong cultivation.
Chen Huangpi only took one look and realized that this person's cultivation was definitely more than just Nascent Soul.
At least it is the Spirit Transformation Stage.
"Grandpa, the village chief."
When the little girl saw the old farmer, she immediately cried and shouted, "My father is dead. The bad guys twisted off his head and roasted it over the fire and ate it. Even the fish bones were eaten clean."
The village chief said in a strange tone: "Ya Ya, that's not your father, that's a monster."
"But it has the same face as my dad."
The little girl cried and said, "The river god ate my father, and that bad thing also ate my father. They are all very bad."
As she said this, the little girl was about to go into the house.
The village chief took a step back and said helplessly, "Yaya, go back first. I will handle this matter. I will give you an explanation when we offer sacrifices to the river god tomorrow, okay?"
The little girl asked, "Will the river god eat that bad thing? Just like he ate my father and second uncle?"
"I think so."
The village chief replied vaguely: "Go back first and have a good rest. Don't go out at night, otherwise something bad will happen."
"Yaya knows."
The little girl wiped her tears, turned around and walked towards the deepest part of the village.
There, there is a ruined ancestral hall.
It seems like something is being worshipped.
Seeing this, Chen Huangpi was about to follow.
But at this moment, the village chief suddenly took a step forward and blocked Chen Huangpi. "Huang Er, have we been discovered by him?"
"It shouldn't be..."
The brass oil lamp said unconfidently, "I learned the concealment ability from the stone tower. Although it is not a great ability, it is impossible for anyone to discover it unless they are immortals or beings of a very high status like Chi Xie."
Jingxian Temple once had many valuable treasures.
In the old temple, there is a large formation formed by these precious treasures, with three thousand immortals as the center of the formation.
There are nine objects in total that form the formation.
The Book on the Ground, the Jiuli Bell, the Stone Pagoda, the Dongzhen, the Locking Dragon Well, the Huang Er, the Huang Yi, the Feixiantu, and the Altar.
The stone tower can be used to form an array, so its magical power is naturally not something that ordinary cultivators can see through.
"Maybe it's a coincidence."
The brass oil lamp said, "Look, the village chief has his back to us, but his eyes are fixed on the little girl. But the little girl is only at the Jindan level, so why does the village chief seem to be very afraid of her?"
Sudden.
The little girl turned her head sharply.
The village chief smiled and waved his hand.
The little girl responded with a smile, then skipped into the ancestral hall.
After the little girl goes in.
The smile on the village chief's face slowly disappeared, and then he turned his head and said in a low and quick voice: "Daoyou, this place is dangerous, come in with me and talk in detail."
There was excitement in his eyes.
Chen Huangpi was stunned on the spot.
"Can you see me?"
The village chief said, "Fellow Daoist, you must be full of doubts at the moment. Please believe me, there are many things I cannot say in this village. When we return to the house, I will tell you everything in detail because of the formation that separates us."
Having said that, the village chief walked straight into the house.
But the door was not closed.
It seemed like it was waiting for Chen Huangpi to come in.
"My dear family, this old fellow is being evasive and acting suspiciously. You can't trust him."
"You can have the intention to harm others, but you must always be on guard against others!"
It is not recommended to bring brass oil lamps and soul-claiming ghosts into the house.
Chen Huangpi looked at Jinjiao.
"Jinjiao, do you know how to leave this place and find the fishing rod?"
Jinjiao gestured, "Dad Huangpi, if I knew, I would have told you long ago. I was just dragged to the river by the Grand Master and saw the stone tablet. I know nothing else."
Chen Huangpi said: "With the four of us together, even if the village chief has some conspiracy, we can't be our opponent. If he dares to be presumptuous, I will have no choice but to kill him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Huangpi turned and left.
The brass lamp said in silence, "Didn't you say you were going into the house? Why did you run away?"
Chen Huangpi said, "We have to go into the house, but I have the final say on when to go in. Let's explore the surroundings first. I always feel that the people in this village are very strange. Who knows, maybe we can find something else."
As early as the incident with Chi Xie, Chen Huangpi suffered a great loss.
I thought I had planned it well.
In fact, he was jumping around under Chi Xie's nose from beginning to end.
The village chief seemed to be at the Spirit Transformation Stage and was no match for him.
But if he hides his cultivation, he is an old monster.
Wouldn't that be exactly what he wants?
Chen Huangpi had to act with caution.
Soon, he was able to roam around the village using this ability to hide.
This made him feel even more strange.
There are quite a few people in this village, about sixty or seventy.
Even in the Ten Thousand Mountains, it is considered a small or medium-sized village.
And there is not a single mortal.
Each of them has the Nascent Soul cultivation level, and they give him the feeling that they are much more powerful than those Nascent Soul cultivators in the outside world who practice with popularity.
It's just that the clothes are too shabby.
Even more miserable than the remnants of the people.
What’s even more bizarre is that these villagers with powerful cultivation have been hanging around the village.
In other words, it only wanders in a fixed area.
Some people walk side by side.
Some people keep to themselves.
The scope of activities is also different.
Chen Huangpi wandered around the village for a long time, but in the end he only saw two villagers walk out of the village, walk all the way to the river, and then jump into the river. It was almost dark when they climbed out of the river one after another.
After the two villagers climbed out of the water, their clothes became less tattered.
And his cultivation level quickly fell to the Golden Core Stage.
One of them said in surprise: "Where is this place? I seem to sense the presence of spiritual energy. Could this be the fairyland?"
Another person said, "Look, there's movement in the water."
There was a crash.
A strange fish with a human face jumped out of the water and opened its bloody mouth to swallow the two people.
At this moment, a little girl carrying a basket of vegetables ran over and shouted, "Uncle, don't eat people, don't eat people."
The strange fish hesitated for a moment after hearing this.
In just a moment, the two people who climbed out of the water had a chance to escape and quickly left the shore.
The little girl said, "Don't be afraid, that fish is my uncle. It just wants to say hello to you and won't eat you."
"It's getting dark. Come with me back to the village. The village is safe, but it's dangerous outside."
As she spoke, the little girl walked towards the village with a basket of vegetables.
The two of them looked at each other, as if they had completely forgotten that they were also villagers, and followed the little girl back to the village doubtfully.
Once we entered the village, many villagers gathered around us.
Show concern for these two people.
When the two men saw so many monks here, they had no choice but to follow their arrangements and were settled down.
But from beginning to end, the villagers never had any contact with the little girl.
Chen Huangpi felt goosebumps all over his body when he saw this scene.
"Quick, go find the village chief."
"This damn place is so weird. There is definitely something wrong with that little girl."
