There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 295, Innocent villagers of Wild Ghost Village?
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone house where Lu Yue was located seemed like a blown-up balloon. The surface expanded rapidly, and the cracks between the bricks spread like a spider web, making it look shaky.

Then the black tattoos embedded in the cracks and entangled with the stones seemed to come alive, twisting and pulling with all their might to stop the stone house from exploding.

Chi Chi Chi!
The sound of tearing was constant.

The black tattoo reached its limit and gradually shattered, turning into black spots and dissipating.

Seeing this, the man in black robe trembled violently, and more complicated and strange tattoos surged out like ink, turning into a surging black wave to fill the space.

But it was too late.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the stone house broke into pieces as it reached its limit. For a moment, rubble flew everywhere and smoke and dust covered the sky. In this chaos, a majestic and magnificent sky-supporting Dharma image suddenly appeared behind Lu Yue, with overwhelming pressure.

[Source Energy +1, +1...]

Every tattoo here is a very different kind of ghost.

Bang bang bang!
Lu Yue did not hesitate at all. He swung his giant fist and punched out again and again. The space trembled wherever his fist passed. Even the surrounding cold wind was afraid of this force and chose to retreat.
After several consecutive punches, the black-robed man's clothes were torn into pieces like falling stars, and even his body could be heard making sounds of broken bones.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Lu Yue finally saw the other person clearly.

He was a man in his forties with hideous tattoos all over his body.

And there is a tattoo that looks like a red spider lily.

At this moment, the other party was staggering back, his eyes full of shock.

Lu Yue: "In ancient times, there was a kind of extraordinary bloodline called witches, but this kind of extraordinary bloodline gave rise to many bloodline families, some of whom were good at medicine, some were good at divination, and some could communicate with ghosts and gods. You have so many patterns painted on your body, and your abilities tend to be in the areas of totems and tattoos. You are the descendant of one type of witch..."

The tattooed man looked serious and asked, "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you don't have a chance today."

"Finally, I'll give you one last word. If you act pretentiously, you'll get struck by lightning!!!"

The Sky-lifting Dharma Image was surrounded by thunder and lightning, leaving the opponent no way to retreat.

To deal with a transcendent being at the seventh level of the Divine Hidden Realm, just use your force to overwhelm him.

The black-robed man's face suddenly changed. He turned around and tried to flee, but was firmly locked by an invisible giant hand. Finally, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "You have offended someone you shouldn't have offended. You will all die in Wild Ghost Village!"

With a loud bang, the man in black robe turned into a puddle of mud.

The other party alone provided more than eighty strands of source energy.

There was dead silence all around, and everyone was dumbfounded. They originally thought that the man in black robe was already a very powerful master, and even if Lu Yue won, he would be seriously injured.

But they never expected that the whole process would be a crushing victory.

Where did this fierce guy come from? ! ! !
At this time, Lu Yue was thinking about the last words said by the man in black robe.

The other party seems to know some inside information.

It seems a bit too early to kill.

However, Lu Yue did not regret anything now. He looked around and finally turned and walked towards the ruins. As for the cold wind around him, it could not cause any substantial harm to him.

After searching in the corner of the stone bed, he finally found the pottery fragment.

However, the hieroglyphics on it were too complicated for Lu Yue to understand at all.

But fortunately, he has Security Bear, which is an intelligent AI and is likely to recognize the other party. After a scan, the text written on it is gradually translated.

"The flower of the underworld...the return of the soul...the ritual..."

Due to the erosion of time, only these few words can be vaguely identified on the pottery fragment.

What is the meaning of these words written by the tattooed old man?
Related to the red spider lily?

And another thing is that this tattooed old man should be a kind of witch from ancient times, very similar to the black-robed man that Lu Yue had killed before.

The common point between the two is that they both have red spider lilies painted on them.

Lu Yue put away the pottery fragments and planned to spend the night in the ruins.

.........

The next day, the cold wind died down and the sky brightened, but it was still gray. However, the Wild Ghost Village had regained some vitality. What happened last night spread quickly, and the death of the man in black robe made everyone look at Lu Yue with new eyes.

Almost everyone knew how domineering the black-robed man who occupied a stone house was. Even extraordinary people of the same level did not dare to provoke him easily.

But I didn't expect that I would fall into the hands of a young man.

All of a sudden, everyone in the village knew that there was such a powerful man.

So when Lu Yue was wandering around the village, everyone was polite to him, either nodding or making way for him, and some even gave him food...

However, after everyone discovered that this strong man was a very kind person, their eyes gradually shifted away from Lu Yue, and they were still looking for the way to the underworld.

Still two directions.

One is to go out and find other ways out.

The second is to find a way to interact with the ancient people in the village.

Lu Yue also chose the second path.

After all, it was too inefficient for him to go out alone to find the way to the underworld, and there was a high probability that he would not be able to compete with those powerful extraordinary people, so he chose the second option.

After several hours, Lu Yue discovered that these ancient people were living as usual in the village.

Apart from eating, sleeping, and building roads and houses.

It seems that this Wild Ghost Village was built by them.

The only abnormality is that once these ancient people left the village, their figures would disappear without a trace, as if the projection range of these thousands of years ago was only in Yegui Village.

No one knows what happened to these villagers after they went out.

"I found it!!!"

"I found a way to connect with these ancients..."

Someone shouted in the distance in Yegui Village, and all the extraordinary people in the village immediately rushed towards the source of the sound, even Lu Yue was no exception.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw a lot of people gathered there.

It turned out that an ancient person who was away from home had an accident.

At the entrance of the village, a white-haired woman was being whipped with a soul-catching rope by a ghost.

The white-haired woman groaned in pain and begged for mercy.

"I can read lips. This woman has been begging for mercy. She wants to return to the human world, to go home. Her son is sick, and this ghost has been trying to stop her."

In the crowd, there was an extraordinary person who clenched his fists and had a grim expression on his face.

He is the one who just found the connection with the ancients.

Soon Lu Yue understood what had happened.

Unlike other people who wandered aimlessly and changed people when they couldn't communicate, this extraordinary person kept staring at one person, that is, the woman, whether eating, drinking, defecating or urinating. His efforts paid off. After several days of continuous observation, he finally found some clues. After completing the road construction every day, the woman would go out and would not return to the village until it was almost dark. It seemed that she had something to do. Through lip reading, he learned that the woman's son in the world of the living was sick and she had always wanted to leave here.

But all ended in failure.

Today, the woman was covered in wounds and staggered back to the village.

This wild ghost village also unlocks new characters.

This is a ghost messenger with a frosty face.

At this moment, the ghost was waving the soul-catching rope and whipping the woman continuously.

The weak woman kowtowed and begged for mercy, tears streaming down her face.

The ghost remained expressionless and continued to commit atrocities.

Perhaps because he was getting a little impatient after hearing the woman's constant wailing, the ghost catcher swung the soul-catching rope in his hand like a poisonous snake out of a hole, accurately piercing the woman's scapula, dragging her under an old tree like a dead dog, and tying her up tightly.

The other ancient people in the village who were building roads and houses all looked here.

The ghost seemed to be using this as a warning.

This scene made the extraordinary people present filled with indignation and anger.

"Beasts, these ghost officials are simply not human!"

The extraordinary people present have stayed in Yegui Village for so many days, and they know very well what these villagers are like. These villagers are all simple, kind, hardworking and capable. They build roads and houses day after day, and silently contribute to the construction of Yegui Village.

This kind of thing is happening now!!!

These ghost officials from the underworld are forcing and imprisoning these ancient people.

This is naked oppression and exploitation.

"I understand. Folk rumors say that the people in the Wild Ghost Village are all lonely ghosts. They cannot be reincarnated, and often hope to pass on messages to their relatives in the world of the living through newcomers. Now it seems that this news is true."

"These villagers were all forced laborers in ancient times. It's not that they can't be reincarnated, but they are imprisoned here by those ghost officials. They must want to go home very much. If we can lead them back to the world of the living, perhaps we can find the way to the underworld..."

Soon, someone with a quick mind expressed his guess.

Someone said: "But... this happened thousands of years ago. Even if we want to take them home now, we can't find them..."

Suddenly, the extraordinary person who was good at lip reading understood something, looked at the projection of the dying woman, and immediately started digging under the old tree.

A corpse suddenly appeared before everyone.

"As expected, these villagers who were conscripted from the real world for corvée labor were probably killed by evil-hearted ghosts, and their bodies are buried in this village. As a result, the resentment of these villagers has affected the surrounding environment, causing us to be unable to find the way to the underworld."

"These projections from thousands of years ago are telling us that as long as we can bring their remains back to the real world, we can fulfill their wishes. At that time, the road to the underworld will appear..."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they all thought this method was feasible.

But someone remembered something and reminded them, "No, the road back to the real world is blocked by red spider lilies. We can't turn back..."

The man was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Look, there is a faint mark of a red spider lily on the skin of the woman that was torn by the soul-catching rope. Is it the same as the red spider lily on the road to the underworld?"

"This may be the totem of a certain tribe. The evil ghost used violence to force the people of this tribe to come to the underworld to build the Wild Ghost Village. These ancient people must have some connection with the red spider lilies on the Yellow Spring Road. As long as we take their bones away and fulfill their wishes, perhaps it won't be a problem to turn back..."

Since the ancient projections could not come into contact with the extraordinary people in the real world these days, no one noticed the tattoos of red spider lilies on the ancient people's skin.

Now all the clues indicate that their guess may be correct.

Furthermore, they have been trapped here for a long time and have never been able to find the way to the underworld. Some people have been driven crazy. The clues discovered now are the biggest breakthrough in this period of time.

Must try it anyway.

Lu Yue, who was standing by, also looked at it intently, and sure enough, he saw the mark of the red spider lily faintly emerging on the wound of the dying woman, which was exactly the same as the tattoo on the face of the ancient man with tattoo in the stone house yesterday.

They really seem to be from the same tribe.

After such a long time, we finally got a clue, and the next step is to find the body.

According to everyone's speculation, perhaps in the next period of time, the black-hearted evil officer will brutally kill all the kind-hearted corvée villagers in the village.

By then they would naturally know where the bodies of the villagers were buried.

But at this moment everyone was already getting impatient.

So, a supernatural being who was good at dealing with corpses used his abilities to start looking for the corpses of the ancient people who were imprisoned in the village by the ghost.

Soon...the body was found.

Still at the entrance of the village.

When everyone worked together to dig, the scene before them was shocking.

Dozens of corpses appeared in a deep pit.

These are the villagers of Wild Ghost Village!

They were buried alive!!!
This black-hearted ghost not only exploited the ancients of a tribe and made them come to the underworld to build a station, but also unexpectedly killed them after the station was built and buried them alive! !

This cruel fact comes to the minds of many extraordinary people.

For a moment, everyone's expression became extremely ugly.

Some people cursed the ghost messengers and cursed them to die miserably for generations. What kind of madman could do such a cruel thing...

"I think we should not jump to conclusions so quickly..."

However, this argument was quickly drowned out by the crowd.

"Do you have any conscience? Do you still have parents?!"

"Seeing is believing, hearing is not. These ghost officials are outside, borrowing the passage of the underworld soldiers, and killing innocent people in the real world. We have seen all of this with our own eyes. Could it be false?!!!"

For a moment, most people wanted to chop the ghost into pieces to avenge the dozens of innocent villagers who were forced to do corvée labor in the village...

Soon, some extraordinary people began to carefully organize the remains of these ancient people.

Prepare to take these imprisoned ancients back home.

However, Lu Yue outside the deep pit frowned, because he found that the ghost who had just whipped the woman was the same person who monitored the tattooed old man last night.

Why did the other party do this?

Could it be true, as others have said, that these ghost officials violently recruited ancient people from the mortal world, separated them from their families, and brought them to this desolate land to build various stations? If anyone tried to escape, they would be brutally whipped by the ghost officials who were overseeing them, and they would even be monitored at night...

In the end, perhaps it was too costly to send these people home, so they were buried alive?
What is the relationship between the ghost catcher and the villagers of Wild Ghost Village?
Just as Lu Yue fell into deep thought, many extraordinary people who had stayed in the village long enough had already started their journey home with their corpses. Soon, only a dozen people, including Lu Yue, were left at the scene still watching.

At this moment, Lu Yue noticed that several eyes were staring at him.

When he looked up, he saw several strangers coming in from outside the village.

Lu Yue didn't care. After thinking about it, he decided not to follow the group to the other side of the Red Spider Lily Road. Instead, he planned to search the village carefully again. Perhaps he could find some clues that he hadn't noticed before.

However, as he looked around the village, the strangers who came in from outside the village were gradually approaching and surrounding him.
