corpse village

"Chase!"

The leading policeman didn't think too much after seeing the secret passage, and immediately got in after yelling.The few policemen beside him also got in.

This secret passage is a bit narrow, and a person can barely pass through it.The policeman who led the team lit a torch, and after walking 30 meters in the secret passage, he found a small wooden door blocking the front.The policeman who led the team tried to push the small wooden door, but failed to push it open. It seemed that the small wooden door was locked.

However, for the police, this small wooden door could not stop them.But it is undeniable that this small wooden door can indeed delay their time.

By the time the police opened the small wooden door and chased forward, Liu Renqing had already fled.The exit of this secret path is the cave in the back mountain.

When the police chased to the cave, they found that the stones and weeds at the entrance of the cave had been moved, and it was obvious that they had just been moved.

Weeds were overgrown near the cave, and it was very desolate. Generally, no one would go there. In addition, the entrance of the secret passage was blocked by a pile of rocks. Therefore, for many years, no one knew that there was a secret passage there.

The forest in the back mountain is quite dense, and Liu Renqing has been running away for a while.Therefore, it is impossible to find him in Houshan with just a few policemen.

In the back mountain, there are wolves, wild boars, and many poisonous snakes.Therefore, Wang Wu told the police that Liu Renqing would definitely not hide in the back mountain, but he would definitely go to Li Tianzhen's natal family, Miemenpo, to hide.

The villagers present agreed with Wang Wu's view, but the police did not express their opinion.The police in the town must know Miemenpo's name, and they dare not rush to search Miemenpo's house without hard evidence.

"If there is news about Liu Renqing, you must come and report it to us." The leading policeman said something, and then led the policemen away.

After the police left, the villagers slowly dispersed.

After the villagers dispersed, I didn't go home, but ran to the river with a group of friends to catch crabs.

At this time, it was just after two o'clock in the afternoon, which was the hottest time of the day.My friends and I caught crabs by the river for a while and felt hot, so we decided to take off our clothes and jump into the river to swim.

At that time, the water in the small river was extremely clear, without any pollution, and it could be drunk immediately.Therefore, swimming in it is a very happy thing.

After taking off my clothes, I remembered the piece of Qiankun jade hanging around my neck.I was afraid that I would lose it in the water after going down to the river, so I took it off and put it on the river bank with my clothes.

In my opinion, those so-called dirty things appear at night, and now it is broad daylight, and the sun is scorching, even if there are dirty things, they dare not come out.Therefore, even if I picked the Qiankun Jade, there shouldn't be any problems.

After putting away my clothes and Qiankun jade, I jumped into the river with other friends.The water in this small river is shallow enough to cover the insteps of the feet, and deep enough, even an adult cannot fall to the bottom.

However, my friends and I can swim, so although the river is deep in some places, it is not dangerous for us.

After playing in the shallow water for a while, my friends and I swam to the middle of the creek.The water area in the middle of the creek is the deepest place. As for how deep it is, no one knows, but it must be more than ten meters deep.Because someone once probed there with a bamboo pole about ten meters long, but it was not able to penetrate to the bottom at that time.

As soon as I swam to the middle of the river, I felt some coolness on my feet.That kind of coolness is definitely not the coolness of the river water, but ice cold.Slowly, I felt my feet being entangled with something.The harder I tried to break free, the tighter the thing clung.In the end, I couldn't move my feet at all.

I wanted to open my mouth and call for help, but I found that somehow, I couldn't make any sound.

No, I can't just let it go.Now I can't shout for help, and my friends have already swam to the other side of the river, far away from me.If I want to get rid of that thing, I can only rely on myself.

I have to swim back to the river bank and get the Qiankun Jade back, so this thing won't haunt me anymore.

Thinking of this, I turned my head, and let myself float on the surface of the water.In this way, I only need to gently paddle the water with my hands, even if my feet don’t move, I won’t sink, and I can still swim slowly to the shore, but the swimming will be very slow.

After swimming back for about five or six meters, the thing probably guessed my mind.Not only did it entangle my feet tightly, but even my hands were slowly entangled by the cool, soft thing.

Slowly, my hands couldn't move anymore.

I couldn't move my hands and feet, so of course I couldn't float, and my body sank slowly.The moment I sank, I choked on water.

After choking on the saliva, I struggled desperately.But no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't get my hands and feet free.

Just when I was desperate, a big hand suddenly supported me and lifted me out of the water.

After being rescued ashore, I realized that the one who rescued me was the old Taoist Zhushan.At this time, my hands and feet were covered with green vines, which were actually aquatic plants in the small river.

Ordinarily, this aquatic plant is a plant, not an animal, and it is impossible for it to actively entangle people.However, it was in the middle of the river, entangled my feet and hands.

While reading scriptures, the old Taoist Zhushan untied the vines from my feet and hands.After untying those vines, the old Taoist Zhushan brought over the clothes and Qiankun jade that I had left on the bank.

"I told you that the Qiankun Jade cannot be taken off." Saying that, Zhushan old man put the Qiankun Jade back on my neck.

"If I hadn't passed by here, your life would have been lost today!" After Zhushan finished speaking, he grabbed my ear hard.

"I told you to be disobedient." Zhushan old man taught me another lesson.

At this time, I was already trembling with fear.Therefore, I didn't say a word back to Zhushan old way.

Probably seeing that I was already frightened, the old Taoist of Zhushan stopped blaming me after reprimanding these few words.

"Be good next time and don't pick off the Qiankun Jade again. In fact, I decided to accept you as my apprentice only after I heard that you killed the five-step snake of Miemenpo."

Zhushan old Taoist raised the whisk in his hand, and continued to say to me earnestly: "You boy, you have a sense of righteousness. It is because of your righteousness that Miemen didn't dare to touch you that day. However, that Miemenpo is a vicious person, even though she didn't touch you that day, it doesn't mean she won't touch you all the time. What happened today is that Miemenpo was at work."

"But Miemen Po isn't here?" My fear hadn't completely disappeared, but my curiosity was revived.

"Miemenpo harms people, so you don't need to appear at the scene." Zhushan old Taoist pointed to the aquatic plants at my feet, and said, "Miemenpo controls the soul of the five-step snake that you smashed to death, and let the snake The soul is attached to the water plant, thus controlling the water plant, and using the water plant to wrap your legs and hands."

The more the Zhushan old man talked, the more scared I became.Since the snake soul can attach to this aquatic plant, it must also attach to other things.If that mother-in-law never let me go, wouldn't she be able to kill me at any time?

"Then what should I do?" I was so frightened by the old Taoist Zhushan that I cried, so I asked him in a crying voice.

"As long as you take the Qiankun Jade with you and don't take it off, the snake soul won't be able to hurt you," Zhushan said.

The snake soul can't hurt, what about other souls?According to the rumors, that Miemen Po raised a lot of ghosts, and even a snake spirit is so difficult to deal with, if it encounters others, it would be even more tragic.

"What about the other souls?" I asked.

"As long as you learn from me, you can not only save yourself, but also the entire Shima Village. Go home first, and I will pick you up at your home on the tenth day of the seventh month." After saying this, Zhushan The old man left.
