I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 174 Secret
On the night of Li Ying's death, on the way down the mountain, there was a sudden storm, with lightning and thunder; the heavy rain washed away most of the traces, and because of this, Erika and others did not find any signs of someone fighting near the ruined temple.

The village chief and his party went down the mountain with difficulty in the torrential rain. Because of the sudden incident, they chose to go straight to the ancestral hall and hastily put Li Ying's body into the coffin.Afterwards, they planned to go home and discuss how to deal with Zhou Guang's disappearance.

"That night, I was the last one to leave. Just as I locked the door and turned around, a bolt of lightning fell, and the open space in the ancestral hall was illuminated as bright as day. At that time, I saw that girl Li Ying was wet Standing in the yard, staring at me with eyes full of resentment, exactly the same expression as when she jumped into the well..." Village Chief Li said tremblingly.

At that time, I was taken aback, but other than him, no one else saw Li Ying's ghost.

But who knows, after the ghost disappeared, the village head and others suddenly heard a strange rustle in the bamboo forest near the ancestral hall: in the darkness, they saw a pair of red and hideous eyes.

The horrible scene in front of them scared the village head and his party to the ground, and they ran back home crying.

It rained all night, and that night, Village Chief Li had a nightmare.In the dream, he not only saw Li Ying's ghost, but what filled his ears was Zhou Guang's desperate cry before he died.

"What did Zhou Guang say before he died?" Ling Yun asked suddenly.

"He said that he would rather not enter reincarnation after death, but also turn into a ghost, kill all of us, and be buried with Li Ying."

After the village head finished speaking, he continued to add that since that night, everything in the village has become wrong.

At first, in the early morning of the next day, many villagers claimed that at dawn, they saw several women in red wedding dresses wandering around near the entrance of the village.They lowered their heads and covered their faces, crying as if they were looking for a way home, which made people feel creepy.

What's more, when passing by the ancestral hall, he saw Li Ying in red clothes; but when he took a closer look, he found that the other party's figure was gone.

Village head Li had a ghost in his heart. After going out of the village to check, he found that the shrine that was suppressed outside the village was split apart by a mountain lightning last night, and the yellow talisman placed in it by the ancestors was also inexplicably destroyed.

Thinking about it this way, what the villagers saw must be the wraiths who were sealed in the mountains before.Because the formation eyes were destroyed by lightning last night, Li Ying's ghost followed them back to the village.

Fortunately, there is still a spell to suppress the evil spirits in the family. After returning the yellow talisman, the resentful spirits wandering outside the village disappeared without a trace; not only that, there were no other abnormalities in the ancestral hall.

According to the rules, after Li Ying's body was parked for three days, it should be prepared to be buried as soon as possible.Thinking about it this way, when Li Ying's body is buried, the previous farce should have completely subsided.

But with the shadow of the previous two days, before encoffining, Village Chief Li specially ordered someone to pry open the coffin nails to check.

However, when the coffin was opened, a strange thing happened again: everyone present could only smell a strange fragrance from inside the coffin, and there was no smell from the rotting corpse in the past.

It is obviously hot summer now, and the conditions in the village are backward, so there is no way to preserve the corpse at all.But the corpse in the coffin was well preserved, showing no sign of decay.

What's even more frightening is that Li Ying's remains seem to have been carefully sorted out.Except for her pale complexion, at first glance, she seemed to be asleep, with a serene and calm expression, which was different from any corpse I had seen before.

Not only that, but the legendary Meng Youhua appeared under Li Ying's body.

According to the records of the ancestors, this flower grows on the top of Qingyuan Mountain, the color is extremely gorgeous, and the petals are as strange as the pupils of a snake.It is tangy, incorruptible and fragrant.

As early as a hundred years ago, whenever a villager passed away and was buried, the ancestors would sprinkle the petals of Mengyouhua in the coffin.But this kind of strange flower has been completely extinct since the death of the red flood dragon; even I have only seen related records from the ancient books handed down from my ancestors.Now, it was the first time he saw the real thing.

Although I don't know why Mengyouhua, which has disappeared for a hundred years, will reappear, but a series of strange things that have happened recently have long been beyond my control.In order to avoid having long nights and dreams, Village Chief Li immediately ordered that the coffin be taken up the mountain for burial.

But the moment after the seven coffin nails were driven down, there was a sudden gust of wind in the originally peaceful ancestral hall.In the yard, the pitch-black coffin shook wildly like an earthquake. Soon, thick blood dripped down the edge of the coffin onto the ground.

A sharp and piercing sound came from the coffin, as if the person inside was scratching the coffin lid with his nails, struggling to get out of it.

The village and the others were so frightened by the change that they ran out of the door one after another. After returning home, they got together and were planning to discuss how to deal with this matter, but they still had no idea; and in the afternoon after that, That is, four hours ago, Zhao Zhengxun and his party came here.

At this point, everyone finally figured out all the strange things that happened in the village during the week.And the weird reaction of the villagers when they saw them finally made sense.

"That's why you, an old bastard, tricked us into going to the ancestral hall with an excuse, and I got stuck there." Jiang Taiyu snorted coldly.

However, Village Chief Li had no memory of the purpose of the week. After listening to the other party, he immediately begged bitterly: "Please, please give me a good time. I have no grievances or enmity with you, so how can I lie to others?" What? Now that you have made me like this, I would rather die than die. I just want to end it with a knife, and I don’t want to suffer anymore..."

"Is there any more detailed records about the elixir of immortality you mentioned?" Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhengxun seemed very interested in the legend described by Village Chief Li.

"I really don't know anymore... Everyone says that the ancestors were deceived by others. As for the big scorpion who caused the trouble, he took the initiative to commit suicide not long after he put down the ghost dragon." Village Chief Li said half dead.

Zhao Zhengxun narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and leaned on the chair with his arms folded.On the other side, Liu Xiuna raised the dagger in her hand again after understanding the meaning of her captain.

At this moment, Lin Yuanqi stood calmly on the side. Facing such a bloody scene, his expression was calm, without the slightest bit of fear.

And his courage also made Jiang Taiyu, who had always looked down on the third district, change his mind: "Yes, it seems that your team is not all cowards."

"Hehe, thank you." Lin Yuanqi didn't want to reveal his identity.The reason he stayed was the same as Zhao Zhengxun.If there is no mistake in the deduction, the panacea that Village Chief Li mentioned earlier should be the item rewarded after destroying the S-level curse in this mission.

On the other side, Village Chief Li is indeed hateful, but hearing the other party's screams, Ling Yun still feels uncomfortable in his heart.

Therefore, instead of staying in the room to inquire about the whereabouts of the props, he left the room.

Ling Yun glanced at the time, it was already 07:30 in the evening, and before he knew it, the sky was completely dark.

Walking out of the courtyard of the village chief's house, Ling Yun stood with his hands behind his back, staring blankly at the direction of Qingyuan Mountain, wondering what he was thinking, a little lost in thought.

Although Erika has killed countless people, she doesn't have the perverted hobbies that torture people like the Fifth District.Although I really wanted to leave more clues, but I was afraid of revealing my true nature, and the village head has been tortured into an inhuman shape, if I knew it, I would have said it long ago.

She hated the fifth district from the bottom of her heart, and when she looked at those guys more, the killing intent in her heart surged.Of course, Zhao Zhengxun is not a guy to mess with.If you want to deceive the other party, you have to have good enough acting skills.

Thinking of this, she walked out of the room, planning to go out to take a breath to calm down.
