There is a trick

Chapter 130: Ghostly Eyes (1/2)

The more Xiao Zhenming spoke, the more frightened he looked: "Moreover, those three strange women are also gradually changing.

——Every time we were forced to go back to Fig Village, when we came out of the village, there would be another identical strange woman in a flowered jacket with her hair loose behind us.

As of now, there are already twelve strange women following each of us!

Except for the fact that these strange women asked us at the beginning whether we wanted to go back to live with them in the deserted village, they followed us from a distance like wooden carvings or clay sculptures.

We also know that these women are strange and dangerous, so we always keep our distance from them.

But tonight, those strange women who had been following us from a distance suddenly came closer to us.

They still had wooden faces, as if they had lost their souls, and none of them said a word.

But when we turned our backs to them, we could clearly feel that the atmosphere between them had changed!

This feeling is hard to explain until -

One time I turned around suddenly and saw those strange women exchanging glances with each other!

Although we don't know what they secretly communicated to each other, their eyes were filled with deep malice, which was really chilling!

I woke up my uncle at that moment. Seeing those weird women following him around, he couldn't help but scold them. The more he scolded, the more excited he became. I have been with these two elders for more than ten years, and I have never seen my uncle lose his temper like this.

I had never heard the curses that came out of his mouth before!
Uncle-master Xiao Daniu seemed like a different person at that moment!
After he scolded those weird women, they untied their belts, wept and found nearby trees, and hanged themselves in front of us...

From that day on, a mark of strangulation began to appear on Master Xiao Daniu's neck.

The mark became deeper and darker in color.

Within half an hour, those strange women who were hanged were standing far behind us again.

The bodies of those strange women who were hanged earlier are still hanging in the woods. They have not disappeared, but are gradually rotting..."

Xiao Zhenming's voice became deeper and deeper.

A gust of black wind blew up again at the foot of the rocky slope where they were.

The wind blew across the bodies of the three people, and layers of yellow paper on their bodies began to burn again.

Zhou Changguan looked at the yellow paper on the three people, and there was not much left.

I wonder if I can still resist a few more of these black hair winds.

At this time, Xiao Zhenming pulled his uncle Xiao Daniu in front of the round mirror, and there was indeed a purple-black mark on Xiao Daniu's neck.

The mark was as deep as half a finger, and the skin around it had turned bluish white.

Clusters of fine blood vessels were densely distributed above and below the mark, and those blood vessels had turned black and purple in color.

When Yang Rui and Zhou Chang saw the marks on Xiao Daniu's neck, their faces turned grim.

"The flesh around the marks of strangulation is very similar to the flesh of a dead person..." Yang Rui muttered to himself, and looked at Zhou Chang. He then continued, "You only brought out such strange women from that deserted village called 'Fig Village' each time. Haven't you ever seen other men in the village?"

"Never..."

Xiao Zhenming's face was gloomy: "When those women dragged us back to the village, they said there were no men in their house. We were the men in their house..."

"Then this village should be the 'Widow Village' mentioned by the blind man?" Yang Rui turned to look at Zhou Chang and asked.

Zhou Chang nodded and said, "I wonder if they ever went into a village called 'Da'an Village'?
This village is full of blind people, not a single one has perfect sight."

His voice reached the other side of the round mirror.

Xiao Zhenming knew that there were two Taoist priests opposite him, but one of them never showed up and was on guard against people like him.

At this time, he had something to ask of others, so he naturally did not dare to ask the other side to do anything. He just answered Zhou Chang's question: "When we came here, we only passed through this 'Fig Village' and did not see any other villages along the way.

However, today, because of our reckless intrusion, or perhaps because of the thing we brought out from the Yin Mine, we have established a connection with the strange tomb in the Black Desolate Mountain, which has caused strange changes in the Black Desolate Mountain. The black wind blowing everywhere can consume human flesh and blood and cause people to suffer from epidemics. This is a strange change that has occurred in the Black Desolate Mountain.

Under such strange changes, it is very likely that the direction of Black Desolate Mountain has shifted.

This black wind rises from time to time. If we were not wearing the "Talisman Armor", we would have been killed by the black wind and had the disease spread.

Even so, we can’t hold on for too long, and Master Xiao is gradually running out of breath…”

What Xiao Zhenming mainly elaborated on was the dilemma that the three of them were facing now.

The strange widow chased after them and just verbally abused them, so they hanged themselves in front of the three of them, leaving marks of strangulation on the neck of the abuser - the marks became deeper and deeper, and it was possible that Master Xiao Zhenming would be strangled to death completely!
However, if these strange widows were attacked with swords and knives, who knows if there would be more fierce "revenge" on the three of them?

But if they were ignored, they would hide behind the three people and communicate with each other through eye contact. I wonder if they were discussing how to completely "eat up" the three people? After all, that was what the blind man had said.

"We have never heard of the dangers you are facing, and we don't know how to help you.

Now, we can hardly protect ourselves..." Yang Rui looked embarrassed.

What Yang Rui said is also true.

Compared with Yang Rui and Zhou Chang and his group, the three Dukes of the Xiao family clearly have more means and are better able to cope with situations.

They even went down to the Yin Mine themselves and were able to return alive and well, which shows the abilities of the three Duangongs.

Even so, with the abilities of these three Taoist priests, they are now trapped in the "Widow Village" and cannot escape. How can Yang Rui rescue them? Don't let them go to the Widow Village and lose all their family members before they find the three Taoist priests!
Xiao Zhenming's face was filled with despair when he heard this.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel discouraged when he was rejected by Yang Rui.

"You should go to the 'Fig Village' first, and you will have a smooth journey.

Now, we turn back from the village along the road, but we can’t get out of the ten-mile radius of the village no matter how hard we try… What’s the reason for this?” Zhou Chang’s voice reached the other side of the round mirror.

Xiao Zhenming had only heard the voice but had not seen the person, but the other party was still willing to talk to him at this time, so perhaps there was some hope for a turnaround.

He grabbed this last straw and said hurriedly: "It must be that he was bewitched by a ghost!
The various scenes we see now must be what the demons in the dark want us to see!

Our eyes no longer belong to us, but are controlled by demons!"

"Our eyes no longer belong to us..."

Zhou Chang was deeply moved by Xiao Zhenming's words.

He then thought according to what Xiao Zhenming said - the situation of himself and others was similar to his, they were also blinded by ghosts, and what they saw was what the ghost wanted them to see.

So how should we deal with it now?

Zhou Chang thought for a moment and said quickly, "If our eyes are possessed by ghosts and no longer belong to us, can we not rely on our eyes?

Just as we have all become blind, what can a blind man rely on to walk?

He thought of the bamboo pole in the blind youth's hand and answered himself: "They rely on their ears to travel."

"Those strange women are getting closer and closer to us...

If we close our eyes, they will suddenly approach us and want to murder us..." Xiao Zhenming also pondered at this moment, and a little light ignited in his eyes. Zhou Chang's words gave him a glimmer of hope, "Moreover, even if we can rely on our ears to distinguish the road ahead, we don't know which road leads to the outside world and which road is safe..."

"Your problems are also our problems." Zhou Chang grinned.

Now it is the same with Zhou Chang and his group. Even if they can determine the location by sound, they can only determine the location by sound. If they want to go back along the original route, it is impossible now without a target.

"The ghost lured us here, and it's probably not that easy to escape and go back along the same route.

Especially the so-called 'original road', which may no longer exist, distorted by the ghosts in the Black Wasteland Mountain." Zhou Chang continued, "But our two groups can be brought together.

If we all join hands and work together, maybe we can turn this situation around.”

Xiao Zhenming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded along with his uncles and uncles: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Yang Rui frowned, and he pulled Zhou Chang out of the circle drawn around the altar, temporarily leaving the altar with Zhou Chang, avoiding the eyes and ears of the three Taoist priests, and then he said to Zhou Chang: "What exactly do you think?
Explain it to me, and let’s discuss it, and then we can talk about how to deal with outsiders.

Let me first tell you what I think - those three Taoist priests, being targeted by the evil woman, have themselves become a source of instability. It is still unknown whether it will be a blessing or a curse to bring them here and gather them with us.

But judging from the current situation, the possibility that they will cause trouble is greater than the possibility that they will bring good things!

So I don’t want to join forces with them!”

"They have mastered the art of talisman armor. Do we have it?" Zhou Chang asked.

"No." Yang Rui shook his head.

"There is a black wind in the Black Wasteland Mountain that can destroy human flesh and blood and infect people with plague." Zhou Chang said, "This plague wind is only blowing over there, but how can you and I be sure that it won't continue to blow outward and blow over us?"

"You have the method to turn thoughts into silk, and I have an immortal body, so why should I be afraid of the black wind?" Zhou Chang's words obviously failed to impress Yang Rui.

"Those three duangs must have mastered other subjects that we have not mastered." Zhou Chang added, "If we join hands with them, we will have more protection when facing danger."

“Although there are many disciplines, if you don’t enter the threshold of Weird Immortal, you can’t breed Weird Shadows and transform them into Weird Beings to be used by others.

That's just as useless!" Yang Rui still refused.
