Seeing the villagers chatting and laughing, and nailing the dead bodies into "scarecrows", the practitioners on the roof suddenly turned pale.
How can this be a kind, simple, helpful villager!
This is clearly a group of mentally abnormal lunatics!
In the rice fields, villagers began to find more corpses. Without exception, they were all nailed into bloody "scarecrows", which looked extremely bloody and cruel.
And these corpses are all practitioners who strayed into the field yesterday.
There are more than a dozen people.
It turned out that the "scarecrows" planted in the fields before were not scarecrows, but human corpses that had died in this cannibal rice field.
It's just that they couldn't see clearly because they were far away, so everyone, including Fang Zheng, subconsciously took the puppet form nailed to the field as a scarecrow.
When people see dolls dressed like people in crop fields, they usually subconsciously regard them as scarecrows at first glance.
And there are more than ten or twenty practitioners who have died in the fields!
Too many!
Beyond the unseen horizon, and more!
The so-called peaceful life like a paradise, everything is just a cannibalistic weird world that has been deliberately whitewashed!
There is no real paradise in this world.
That's just people's naive imagination and being blinded by illusions at the beginning.
Beneath the mask hidden deep in this peaceful world, a great horror is slowly being revealed.
"Since they can see the corpse, why can't they see us? They must be pretending not to see us! Yes, that's right, it must be pretending!"
"But if they are pretending not to see us, then what is their purpose?"
Seeing the strange behavior of the villagers, more and more people began to commotion and discuss, and everyone's face was gloomy and dignified.
The cultivators from all over the world who originally looked at the villagers with good intentions now began to look cruel, showing fierce looks one by one.
"Hmph! How can there be so many purposes? According to my opinion, these villagers are lunatics! Only lunatics would be so excited to see the corpse, and they even nailed up the corpse as a 'scarecrow' to drive away birds and wild boars! But there are obviously only dead people here, where are the birds and wild boars? If it’s not a group of delusional lunatics, what is it?!”
Some people also say that the villagers are a group of grieving ghosts who have gone mad after death, and they cannot use ordinary people's thinking to interpret the logic of their behavior.
However, there were other voices of discussion in the crowd.
"I don't think these villagers are just pretending. This is a world of dead people under huge graves, so the dead can only see the dead, so there's no need to make a fuss, right?"
This view has been echoed by more people.
"Makes sense."
"I also don't think these villagers look like they're pretending. It's impossible for the entire village to pretend to be like this, right? Even if they are grieving ghosts and not human beings, the disguise is too perfect."
The difference between the two parties is that the number of people is half and half, and they all feel that their analysis is correct.
"At present, these villagers have no malice towards us. Their interest in corpses is only nailed to the farmland as 'scarecrows'. They have not developed into evil eating corpses or special hobbies. Whether they can see us or not , as long as these villagers do not take the initiative to provoke us, we should not take the initiative to provoke these villagers to avoid unexpected changes."
"Yes, that's right, everyone, don't divert the core issue! We want to enter the mountain safely, as long as these villagers can really open the way for us, it doesn't matter whether they can see us or what they plan to do with the corpse! Everyone, don't go Take the initiative to provoke these villagers, or you will be your enemy!"
After talking like this, soon, these people from different interest groups with ulterior motives unified their thinking. The most important thing at present is to find the way to enter the mountain first, and everything else is secondary.
During this period, Fangzheng did not participate in the discussion from the beginning to the end.
Because his eyes were always on the old man who was from the same room as him, intending to look for flaws in the details, his face was always full of contemplation.
At this time, the old man, like a very ordinary farmer, bent down to harvest grain with his head facing the loess and his back facing the sky. The ridges cleared behind the village are getting longer and longer...
The practitioners gathered around began to increase, and everyone's face was excited.
Just as Fangzheng was carefully observing the actions of the old man and the villagers, there was a chaotic voice that interrupted Fangzheng's thoughts.
Fang Zheng just looked in the direction of the voice of the dispute, but in the next second, his face became a bit strange.
It turned out to be the three people who were crushed by Fang Zheng's chest during the day, and at this moment, with bruised noses and swollen faces, leading a group of accomplices, they were interrogating one by one on the roof.
"Have you ever seen a man who behaves strangely and likes to touch porcelain with broken stones from his chest?"
These people are looking for Fangzheng.
What
You look weird to me!
Are you sure you are not telling a cold joke when you touch porcelain with broken boulders in your chest
Just when these people were still looking for Fang Zheng...
"ah!"
Without warning, a scream, like a smashed mirror, broke the peace of the village.
what happened
Everyone thought that some practitioners killed each other, but it turned out that the matter was not so simple. The villagers who were harvesting crops in the farmland outside the village all put down their farm work and ran back in a panic. village.
At this time, everyone realized that the screams before did not come from among them, but from the villagers in the village.
Immediately his face became serious.
Is the plot finally about to unfold
The villagers who rushed back to the village seemed to be looking for something in the village, but overnight, the villagers did not find what they were looking for.
Until the last dawn, these villagers looked anxious, gave up searching, and hurried back to the house to sleep.
boom!
The villagers locked the gates.
The moon sets and the sun rises.
The paddy field that had been cut down outside the village has returned to its original state, and the uphill field road that finally appeared was once again submerged in the golden ocean.
Seeing that the road disappeared, all the remaining practitioners exploded! What is going on with these villagers, why are they so nervous when they hear the screams? And seems to be afraid of the day
"Could it be that what these villagers are afraid of is not the daytime, but the night after dark?" Faced with this unexpected scene, the remaining people began to discuss and exchange information.
"You know, the living habits of these villagers are exactly the opposite of those of living people. In their eyes, night is day, and day is night. They are afraid of entering the village after 'night'!"
This conjecture was quickly affirmed by most people, who thought it was the conjecture closest to the truth.
"Damn it! The way into the mountain has already appeared, and all these grieving ghosts suddenly ran back to the village, and everything is gone!" Someone cursed angrily.
"Could it be... the scream we heard is the key to the plot?" Others speculated.
