unscrupulous spirit catcher

Chapter 164 Maze Road 3
Everything is bleak, cold and dull, there is no sky or sky, only a heavy feeling of oppression.

It's like hell has opened its doors right here, and the deeper you go, the more painful you feel.

Some spiritual beings are dangerous and some are ordinary, but everything is unknown. Before they appear, no one knows what they will face.

Song Yu and the other three were resting in a ravine.

The village was desolate, and the land exuded a rotten smell. It had completely turned into a dead land without any vegetation, and dead people were buried everywhere.

The Maze Road reveals all the truth, there are no secrets here.

It's not that the crops are not harvested due to the famine, but that the spirits are scattered on the ground as seeds. In order to grow, the spirits greedily absorb all the life that can be devoured.

There was no food in the fields, and people who died of starvation were lying on the ground in broad daylight, with their bones exposed, but there was still smoke in the houses.

Song Yu quickly called Gu Beiqi and Wang Zhan to walk away along the fork in the road.

Every road in the labyrinth will end up in a different place. They were used to it, but they didn't expect to see dozens of living people suddenly when they turned a corner this time, and they were still shocked.

These people were dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, surrounded by a coffin, holding incense and paper money, obviously they were involved in the funeral procession.

Gu Beiqi made a rough count: "Almost 40 people. Why is the coffin lid open? Come on, go over and take a look."

When this group of people saw the three people walking over, their faces were all panicked, and they obviously didn't understand how they ended up in this situation.

Only a few young people stood up and looked at them vigilantly. One of them was holding a memorial tablet and staring at them with two toad eyes: "Who are you?"

Song Yu put on a righteous face: "Good man."

However, her temperament was too rough and she really didn't look like a good person, which aroused everyone's doubts and became more and more wary.

Gu Beiqi quickly pulled her behind him: "We got lost while walking. We don't know how we ended up in this damn place..."

The man holding the tablet looked up and down at the huge baggage, believing that they had accidentally gotten involved in it while traveling far away.

"We were at the funeral, and for some reason we came to this ghostly place. We couldn't get out even if we couldn't get out every day. We thought it was a fraudulent corpse, even if we opened the lid of the coffin to see..."

Song Yu heard that they started to inquire about the news, but no one paid attention to the coffin, and ran to the side of the coffin to take a look.

The coffin nails were forcibly pried open by them, and the dead man inside was an old man, his face was wrinkled and heaved like a chrysanthemum, his eyes were still open, his pupils had turned gray, and his body was emitting a bad smell.

His exposed arms were full of blue-black corpse spots, one of which looked like a flower.

Suddenly, as if there was wind, the spot moved slightly, and as the petals curled up, a very fishy smell rushed out, making people feel like their whole body was soaked in blood.

Song Yu quickly held his breath and took a step back.

It's not like, it's just a flower.

And as the smell became stronger and stronger, everyone else stopped talking and looked over.

The strong smell was like a sharp knife, eroding everyone, and even the sky became dark.

Flower-like corpse spots suddenly appeared on the coffin.

Affected by the flowers, the coffin began to rot, and the black paint on it broke free, revealing the roots of the flowers.

The man holding the tablet opened his eyes in disbelief: "This...is a miracle! With the blessing of our ancestors, we are saved!"

The others also gathered around, looking at the two flowers, rejoicing, as if they had seen a savior.

Gu Beiqi looked at Wang Zhan who was about to step forward to take a closer look and took a step back: "This is a spiritual object, stay away."

The man holding the tablet said loudly: "You three are lucky, we will be able to go out soon."

Song Yu silently stepped back a little, feeling that whoever wanted this luck could take it.

One of them, a man in his forties, knelt in front of the coffin and touched the flower devoutly. Soon, a spot like this appeared on his arm.

Seeing this, other people also wanted to come forward and touch him. At this moment, the man who had just sprouted flower corpse spots suddenly fell to the ground and became a gray-faced dead man.

A burst of breath came out of his mouth, and there was no breath left. In the end, only a pair of eyes were still tightly closed.

The flower-like corpse spots spread rapidly on his body and soon took over his body.

The place where the first flowers appeared has rotted into soil.

Seeing the change, the others also exclaimed, took a few steps back spontaneously, and then formed a circle, not moving their feet, only stretching their heads, and struggling to look at the situation inside.

This thing is spreading.

There were also traces of flowers growing around the dead man, one after another, appearing in front of everyone.

The man holding the spiritual tablet was dumbfounded: "Isn't this the protection of the ancestors? How could it become like this!"

As he spoke, his originally honest and honest face suddenly turned ferocious, and the evil thoughts in his heart flowed out like bad water, making his face turn black.

The fishy smell all around became stronger and stronger, making people breathless.

Flowers are still blooming everywhere.

Gu Beiqi asked the man: "Didn't you say this was the appearance of the ancestors?"

The man nodded without hesitation: "It should be like this. That's right. Our ancestors can't lie to us. Just don't touch them. Everyone, please step back a little."

The others all backed away, everyone chattered, Song Yu listened to a few words, and quickly deduced the ins and outs.

There is a custom in their village called decals.

It was rumored that their ancestors had bluish-black spots all over their bodies before they died. The ancestors thought it was a plague and didn't want to hurt the people in the village, so they entered a rocky mountain alone and dug a grotto for themselves to wait for death.

Later, when they went to see it, they did not see the corpse of their ancestor. They only saw spots all over the wall. The spots gave off a unique smell and no one dared to touch them. After a while, the spots disappeared. .

After that, the village became very prosperous. I don’t know when there were rumors that the piebald patch was a protective god transformed by the ancestors.

As long as the flower spots can be seen, the weather will be smooth and future generations will prosper.

In the beginning, the village would choose someone to sacrifice during natural disasters. Strangely enough, as soon as the stone flowers appeared, these natural disasters would pass.

Gradually, in order to prosper their families and protect future generations, some people began to send old people who were still alive after the age of 60 into the grotto.

Piebald or not, life was easier when they found out that the old man was indeed gone.

This is also the blessing of the ancestors.

One or two of the families with spotted spots were really prosperous, so more and more old people were sent to the grottoes.
