I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

An evil thought rose from the bottom of his heart and rushed straight to Liu Wenbin's forehead.

Hatred expanded infinitely in his body, and at this moment his eyes turned red.

Click

Liu Wenbin vaguely heard the sound of something cracking, and then his life and hatred were all swallowed up.

"Why are you standing here like an idiot? Get out of the way!"

Someone who was in a hurry bumped into Liu Wenbin, and he immediately started cursing.

With a bang, the latter fell to the ground with his back facing the sky.

"I didn't use any force. You fell down on your own. Don't try to blackmail me."

The traveler stopped cursing and ran away in a hurry.

At this time, a red and black butterfly crawled out of Liu Wenbin's mouth, flapped its wings, and flew straight towards Shanshui Village.

After flying for a while, this strange butterfly finally arrived at Shanshui Village and landed on the roof of a villager's house.

It stayed quietly in a high place, waiting until the sun set and the sky was full of stars, and then it died silently.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Do you want to sleep in the middle of the night..."

The wooden door creaked open and the man's voice stopped abruptly.

The cold wind blew into the room, and he just stood at the empty doorway, motionless.

"Who's here? Close the door, it's so cold."

After hearing no sound for a long time, the wife came to the door, rubbing her hands.

"You want to scare me? Stop it now!"

The wife slapped her husband hard, and he fell stiffly to the ground, but he died the moment he opened the door.

...........

Something knocked on Lao Liang’s door last night, and Lao Liang died as soon as he opened the door!

The news spread like wildfire in Shanshui Village, causing panic among the people.

"Don't scare yourself yet. I'll report it to the police right away."

The village chief comforted everyone and said, "This must be man-made. Wait for me to bring the officer here and the truth will soon be revealed."

After saying that, the village chief found two young men to serve as bodyguards and hurried to the city.

However, before the three of them had walked far, they fell to the ground one after another.

"village head?"

When everyone ran over to take a look, they found that the three were already dead.

"Mom!"

Now what happens? Three people died mysteriously in public, was this man-made?

But, according to the story, the person will die only when there is a knock on the door, so why...

"Don't run. You'll die if you run out of the village. Come back soon!"

Someone ran without caring about anything, and as expected, he fell to the ground with a thud before he ran far.

Amid the screams, everyone ran back home in a hurry without having time to collect the bodies.

By night, the four bodies in and outside the village disappeared, and at the same time, there were violent knocks on the doors of five households.

An atmosphere of terror swept the entire village, and when daytime came, a few people who refused to believe in the evil tried to escape.

But without exception, all those who escaped died.

Everyone gathered at the entrance of the village and cried loudly, both for those who had died and for themselves.

The crying sound came from far away, and attracted a little girl with braids who was passing by.

Chapter 391 Which is more important?

Following the crying sound, the little girl looked into the distance and found those people who were killed by the strange creature while escaping.

"It seems something happened. Come on, Xiaobai, let's go take a look."

Holding the relic, Tangtang came to a corpse and squatted down to examine it carefully.

She soon discovered that the body was cursed, and if it wasn’t dealt with, something bad might happen after a while.

A beam of Buddha's light shot out from the relic and hit the ankle of the fallen man.

With a hiss, the curse was dispelled by the Buddha's light, but it also caused strange changes in the surrounding corpses.

Except for the corpses purified by the Buddha's light, the rest of the corpses suddenly disappeared.

Of course, this is just what ordinary people see.

In the eyes of the little girl, the corpses around her were twisted and deformed, turning into pale arms.

Before these evil hands could make any further moves, the relics shone brightly and liberated them all.

The villagers who were originally crying loudly at the entrance of the village stopped crying subconsciously when they saw this scene.

They stared at the little girl blankly, and after a moment they burst into warm cheers.

"Master has boundless magical powers. We are saved!"

"How can there be no master in a spooky story? A spooky story without a master is not a good story!"

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Tangtang trotted into the village.

After entering the village, the first thing she did was to ask the villagers what had happened.

Everyone started talking at once to explain the reasons. Tangtang nodded from time to time, and a thoughtful look gradually appeared on her face.

"Shanshui Village was cursed by that storyteller, and the curse is very complicated, probably a chain curse."

Considering that a woman in red appeared at the end and plundered the power of those tricksters, the little girl made the above speculation.

"Tangtang wants to go around the village and look around. Let's help that uncle to rest in peace first."

The little girl pointed to the corpse outside the village and then began patrolling Shanshui Village.

......

According to the villagers, there should be many strange creatures in Shanshui Village.

But perhaps because they were frightened by Xiaobai, they hid very tightly, and even Tangtang couldn't find where these guys were for a while.

Ok?

Wait, find one!

The little girl stopped in front of a house and flew onto the roof holding the relic.

A dead butterfly appeared in front of Tangtang, which was the source of the curse of Shanshui Village.

Taking out the wooden fish stick, Tangtang gently tapped the butterfly.

It immediately turned into a pool of smelly blood with some spider silk floating on it.

"Now that the source has been destroyed, the number of strange creatures will no longer increase."

Tangtang flew back to the ground holding the relic and told the villagers the good news.

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."

While the villagers expressed their gratitude, they were also worried - what should they do with the hidden monster?

Well, that is indeed a problem.

Tangtang lowered her head and discussed the relic in her arms seriously. After a long time, the little girl said seriously: "Let's take a look at it at night. Don't worry, we are here."

Although she was small in stature and even younger, everyone seemed relieved after Tangtang said this.

"Master, you must be tired after working for so long. Eat something first."

"Yes, my wife's braised goose meat is a specialty. Master, you must try it."

After receiving the warm hospitality from the villagers and having a full meal and a short rest, the little girl started her night patrol in high spirits.

.......

Logically speaking, since the monsters were hiding from Tangtang and Xiaobai during the day, they shouldn't appear at night.

This is the truth, but after Tangtang and Xiaobai discussed it, they felt that they were most likely acting according to the curse rules in the story.

If anyone knocks on the door at midnight, whoever opens it will die.

If someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night and doesn't open it, the whole family will die suddenly.

Even the name of the ghost story highlights the theme of knocking on the door at night.

Therefore, even if these ghosts are unwilling, they must appear at night and knock on the door.

Boom boom boom --

“Oh, it really appeared!”

The little braid on Tangtang's head trembled, and then she summoned silver ropes to tie up all the weird hands that were knocking on the door frantically.

"..."

The little girl looked at these strange things, but did not immediately knock the wooden fish stick. Instead, she showed a frustrated expression.

"Xiaobai, Tangtang shouldn't have knocked that butterfly off so early."

By keeping the butterflies and these captured tricky hands, we should be able to lead to the woman in red at the end of the story, and even find the "Queen" by following the clues.

But now, the source of the curse in Shanshui Village has been broken, and it is hard to say whether the woman in red will appear again.

[Who can think of so many things at once? Besides, after discovering the source of the curse, the first reaction must be to knock it down, right? ]

Xiaobai felt that this chain of curses had nothing to do with Tangtang. It was a good thing that he happened to discover the source of one of the curses and knocked it out.

As for the mastermind behind this?

Let it be. If you can find clues in the future, you can solve the problem. If you can’t find any, just let it go.

"Anyway, Tangtang still wants to try hard!"

The little girl clapped her hands and said, "Don't destroy these weird things yet. Wait a few days and see if the woman in red will come."

Hearing this, the relic shook up and down.

Although she is not as enthusiastic as Tangtang, she will firmly support whatever decision the little girl makes.

........

After waiting in Shanshui Village for several days, the woman in red did not come.

The girl did not force it. She knocked off all the trickster hands, said goodbye to the enthusiastic villagers, and continued her journey.

"The atmosphere seems a little off?"

After arriving in a small town, Tangtang clearly felt a sense of tension from everyone.

Based on previous travel experience, you should go to a restaurant at times like this, as that's where you'll find the most information.

"Hello, I'd like a bowl of red bean paste dumplings."

"okay!"

The little girl found a place to sit down, then pricked up her ears to collect information.

"I heard that the Cang State has mobilized its troops and seems to be planning to attack the Zhao State."

"Humph, the Xu Kingdom is in chaos right now, this is really a good opportunity for them."

No wonder the atmosphere was so tense, it turned out there was another war going on outside.

"Will the Shang Kingdom send troops to help the Zhao Kingdom?" Tangtang couldn't help but ask.

"There are two possibilities now. One is that the king will send troops to help Xu State quell the unrest. The other is to send troops to assist Zhao State in fighting against Bao Cang."

As soon as the man who was about to answer finished speaking, someone immediately refuted: "How could they send troops to Xu State? They must be helping Zhao State to fight Cang State!"

"Not necessarily. Xu State is also an ally."
