Chapter 147 Life in the Ghost Village

Seeing the appearance of the giant in the thunder and lightning, I couldn't help being startled. I forgot to look at my feet for a while, and tripped over a stone at my feet.

My body fell straight forward, Nangong Xiong's eyes were quick, and before I fell to the ground, he grabbed my neckline, pulled me up, and then pushed me out of the back door.

It was only after that that Nangong Xiong also ran out.

"Rumble..."

As the thunder slowly dissipated, I took a deep breath. At this time, the sky fell into darkness again, and I couldn't see the huge blue shadow anymore.

I said "thank you" to Nangong Xizang, and she said, "You don't need to thank me, just don't drag me back when we fight the real master here!"

Before I could speak, the darkness in the sky slowly dissipated, and beams of sunlight shone into the village again. I wondered, "Did the monster disappear when we came out of that yard? That yard... "

Halfway through what I said, I was stunned, because the dilapidated courtyard we had just passed by three times suddenly changed drastically. There was a black lacquered gold plaque on the vermilion gate, which read two The word "Su Zhai".

There were two big red lanterns hanging at the door, the courtyard door was open, and there were two middle-aged men in black blouses working in the yard. They were working together to saw a thick board.

Judging by their appearance, they should be two carpenters.

Next to them was a black table with teapots and bowls on it.

"Squeak, squeak..."

The sound of their sawing came into my ears, and I was stunned for a moment. What's going on, have I fallen into a hallucination?
When I turned back to look at Nangong Cheng, she was also surprised, obviously she also saw the two carpenters who were working.

I looked around again, and the whole village had changed. The old houses wrapped in vines were all completely new, and all the houses were intact. The vines disappeared, but the doors and windows that disappeared appeared.

The most important thing is that pedestrians slowly began to appear on this street.

What's going on here, is it an illusion, but if it's an illusion, why is my consciousness so clear?
Thinking of this, I turned to Nangong Xiong for a solution.

She glanced around and said: "This is not an illusion, but real. The things you see are all ghosts, and those people are ghosts. All the furnishings on the doors, windows, and tables are not illusions, but real existence." The ghosts, those things are for ghosts to use!"

Speaking of this, I couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the furnishings in this village have not disappeared, but have all been turned into femininity, for the convenience of those people to use after death?"

Nangong Xiong said: "It seems that you are not stupid, I think so too! I am more and more curious about what happened in Beiyu Village back then, turning a good village into a ghost village."

I continued to speculate: "When we were in the Jade Emperor Temple, we didn't see the god statues. Could it be that we have become Yin objects? When we go to the Jade Emperor Temple now, will we see new god statues appear?"

Nangong Xiong thought for a while and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Jade Emperor Temple."

After all, she pulled me and ran towards the Jade Emperor Temple. We ran wildly along the way, and the ghosts passing by us didn't stop us, but just looked at us curiously. Their behavior was no different from human beings. Nothing like a ghost.

Along the way, I couldn't help but look at them more. I wanted to find Xiaojia's father among them. When I lived at Zhao Ling's house, I had seen photos of Xiaojia's father, so I was sure to be able to meet his ghost. recognized.

Soon we ran back to the Jade Emperor Temple along the small road. The Jade Emperor Temple was still the same as before us. It was dilapidated and empty. Cloth is also there.

Nothing has changed on the Jade Emperor Temple side.

Seeing the situation here, Nangong Jie and I were stunned. After a while, Nangong said: "It seems that your speculation is wrong. There is no clue here. Let's go back to the village. Anyway, those ghosts come out. They take the initiative to do things that hurt us, so we don't want to provoke them, but go to Xiaojia's father first."

I nodded.

We returned to Beiyu Village along the path. At this time, I found something strange again. The scale of this village is not too large. It is reasonable to say that there are only a hundred or so people, but we ran all the way and saw more than a hundred people. , I estimate that there will be five or six hundred people.

No, it should be five or six hundred ghosts.

Could it be that those extra ghosts were caught and lived here by the people of this village just like Xiaojia's father?

But what is the purpose of those people catching those ghosts and living here?

Be a slave?
No, I took a look, and the ghosts in the whole village are almost all equal, no one is inferior to the other.

If there is a distinction between classes, it is the courtyard with three entrances. The two carpenters in the backyard are obviously working for the owner of that family.

Their status is considered inferior.

But when they were working, there were teapots and tea bowls beside them, so it didn't look like they were being exploited.

Thinking of this, I am completely confused, what is going on in this village!

Soon, we came to the courtyard of the third entrance again. Instead of going to the back door, we turned to the front door. There were also two lanterns hanging in front of it, and a black-painted gold plaque was also hung with the words "Su Zhai" written on it.

In the yard in front of the door, two children were playing, and a woman stood behind the children. She watched the two children play, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

It's so real, what the hell is going on with these ghosts! ?

And the gigantic object that disappeared in the sky and swam in the thunder and lightning, what is its origin?

There are too many mysteries in this village.

I suddenly felt that this may be the most difficult case we have encountered, because we have almost no clue about the case so far.

We have also encountered difficult cases before, but they were all led by experts like Li Guidao and Tian Sihan. We worked on the sidelines, and we didn't feel how difficult those cases were, but when we led a case At that time, the feeling was completely different.

When I was in a daze at the door, the woman came straight to me and Nangong Xiong.

She was wearing a brocade dress, her appearance was above average, with a few golden hairpins decorated with phoenixes on her head, her body was overwhelmingly noble.

Seeing her walking towards us, I became nervous. I reached out to touch the dagger on my body, but Nangong Yuzhang pressed my wrist and motioned me not to move.

Naturally, I won't move around, I hold the dagger just to be on the safe side.

After all, we know very well that the woman, including the two children, a man and a woman running in the yard, are all ghosts.

It is absolutely impossible to say that I am not afraid.

But we must not act hastily, because the whole village is full of ghosts, if we kill one, it will be bad if other ghosts besiege us.

The woman walked up to us and asked: "You two are foreigners, are you standing at my door looking for someone, or are you looking for errands?"

She actually started talking to us.

Just when I didn't know what to say, Nangong Xie said, "We don't look for anyone, and we don't look for errands. We just pass by your place and see that your mansion is the richest in the village, so we stop and take a closer look. .”

The woman looked at Nangong Xiong, then at me and said, "If you don't mind, why don't you come to our Su residence for a cup of tea."

I was just about to refuse, but Nangong Xiong said: "Okay!"

The woman turned around and shouted into the yard: "Xiao He, make two cups of tea and send them to the meeting room in the front yard."

"Okay, miss..."

The second time I entered the yard, I heard a woman's voice, and the voice should be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

At this time, Nangong Xiong came to my ear with a very small voice and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't get a tiger cub. The little girl who led us into this village must have a special purpose. Let's go in and try to get rid of those ghosts. Put the words in."

I didn't say anything, but there was some objection in my heart.

These ghosts are living human-like lives, and they are not normal at all. There must be some terrifying conspiracy inside. Before we have too many clues, I think we should go to Xiaojia's father instead of entering this weird place. Su house.

Nangong Xiong stepped into the village, so I had no choice but to follow, I didn't want to work separately from her in the ghost village.

With my strength, if I walk among those hundreds of ghosts, I don't know what will happen.

When Nangong Xie and I entered the yard, the two children who were playing suddenly stood up and looked at us strangely. Then the little girl didn't know what to say to the little boy, and the two little guys laughed. He ran to the second courtyard.

Listening to the laughter of the two children, I immediately got goose bumps all over my body.

I always feel that something bad is going to happen next, I looked up at the sky, thinking, will there be that huge blue shadow when we enter the yard this time, will there be lightning and thunder again!

The main house that first entered the courtyard was the reception room, and the woman led us to that room. Not long after we sat down, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old man came over with three cups of tea. , she gave the woman a cup first, and then handed a cup to me and Nangong Xiong respectively.

Nangong Xiong reached out and picked up the teacup, but I didn't dare to touch the tea.

Nangong 樊枂 said that all the furnishings in this village are for ghosts, they are all Yin objects, including these tables and chairs, but now Nangong and I are sitting on these Yin objects, it doesn’t make sense yes!
A living person cannot touch a femininity, let alone use it.

Could it be that Nangong Jie and I have become ghosts?
The mystery in my heart is getting bigger and bigger! !At the same time, the sense of crisis is getting stronger and stronger.
