In front of you is a small village, and a huge stone tablet stands at the entrance of the village. The two characters "Fox Town" were carved out with drastic axe, and then they were colored with cinnabar. Perhaps because it has been some years, the cinnabar in some places has peeled off, leaving the traces of the years.
"Fox Town?" Shen Fengyue stretched out her hand and touched the two words, and there was a little dust on her fingertips.
Zhang Hansheng put down the task scroll and said: "This is the purpose of my coming down the mountain. I heard that the fox town under the green mountain was attacked by evil spirits, and the sect master specially sent me to deal with this matter."
Fox Town, since it has a fox word, it must be related to the fox? Shen Fengyue thought in divergent thinking.
The three of them didn't stay at the entrance of the village for a long time.
Shen Fengyue followed behind them and was about to step over the stone monument when she suddenly heard a scream from behind the stone monument.
"Huh?" He retracted his half-crossed legs, and his attention was attracted by the stone tablet.
A small tuft of white hair suddenly appeared on the edge of the stone tablet, and the voice sounded again, sad and mournful, with the sound of the sound, the tuft of hair also moved slightly.
The sound was like an animal, but Shen Fengyue couldn't remember what it was for a while. He went around to the back of the stone tablet and saw the true face of Lushan Mountain.
"Daoist, Fu Zhengguang, come quickly!" He greeted the two people in front of him, "There's a fox here!"
There is a fox lying in front of him, its fur is as white as snow, and there is no other color except white, just because it is lying on the ground, its hair is stained with some dirt, so it looks dirty in some places, but these are not. hinder its beauty.
It was curled up, its body trembled slightly, it was already breathing in more and out, and it was dying, and it looked like it was going to die in the next second.
"It seems to be dying." Shen Fengyue said, with a hint of sadness in her tone.
Witnessing the demise of a biological life is a very sad thing.
The white fox's brown eyes were covered with tears, and the water mist obscured its vision. It sadly looked at the human beings who came to it, and whimpered in a low voice.
A small whimper passed into people's ears, and they couldn't help but feel sad for it.
Zhang Hansheng carefully picked up the white fox, took out a jade bottle from his arms, poured out the golden pill and crushed it and fed it into the mouth of the white fox. At the same time, Shen Fengyue was also applying spiritual power to it in an attempt to make it feel better.
But they still failed.
The destiny is here, man cannot do it.
In the end, the white fox could not be rescued, and it swallowed in Zhang Hansheng's arms. Before dying, it stretched its neck, turned sideways in the direction of Shen Fengyue, and looked at him with teary eyes, as if to keep him in his heart forever.
Shen Fengyue sighed that all things have spirits, thinking that it likes him, and before it died, she bent her brows and gave a gentle smile.
After the white fox let out a soft moan, his head drooped and leaned on Zhang Hansheng's arm.
At the moment when it died, a yellow light flashed in Zhang Hansheng's eyes and flashed by. He put the white fox on the ground and sighed.
The three summed up, and finally buried the body of the white fox under the stone tablet at the entrance of the village.
After Shen Fengyue glanced at the small mound next to the stone tablet, she followed Zhang Hansheng into Fox Town.
After they left, hundreds of black figures suddenly appeared in the grass, with triangular ears, pointed muzzles, and yellow eyes shining in the darkness.
Zhang Hansheng and the three of them did not know what happened after they left. After they entered the village, they wandered in the village for a long time, only to see that the door was closed and no one answered when they shouted.
At that time, the sky also changed very fast. It was a sunny day before, but when we entered this village, the sun was already covered by clouds, and the sky was covered with darkness.
This kind of weather, coupled with such a strange situation in this village, stirs people's mood for no reason.
I don't know since when, Fu Zhengguang's right eyelid began to jump wildly, his fingers pressed against his right eye, he frowned and said: "Whatever the situation, no one answers, the door is closed, and I feel that this village is gloomy. Yes, with a sense of death. Is it possible that the adults are gone?"
"The situation is not simple." Shen Fengyue nodded to agree with what he said.
Zhang Hansheng has already pulled out the sword behind him and held it in his hand in case he needs it. They continued to walk in the village, shouting as they went.
The village was hidden in the shadows, and Shen Fengyue looked around, for fear that a hand would suddenly reach out from the darkness and drag him into an unknown place.
"I'm a disciple of Tianzhao Sect. This time I came to deal with the attack on Fox Town under the order of the sect master." Zhang Hansheng said, "I don't know what happened to your village and it has become what it is today. I just want to convince your village that I'm not a wicked person, and I have nothing to do with evil spirits, just to help your village solve the disaster."
"If you want to believe me, please also meet me sincerely."
As soon as the voice fell, a crow landed on the eaves and called three times in their direction.
The crow croaks for unknown reasons...
Shen Fengyue had goosebumps.
Suddenly, a door behind them opened, and a hand stretched out, grabbed the nearest Shen Fengyue, and pulled it in.
"Fuck!" Shen Fengyuehun was about to be frightened, but this time he was really dragged in by an unknown black hand.
The moment he howled, Zhang Hansheng was the first to react, and he was about to swing his sword out, and an old man's voice came from the wide open door: "The Taoist is slow, the old man is not treacherous."
The cold air hit the door and immediately formed a thick layer of frost.
"Sir?"
The man inside hummed: "Come in."
Zhang Hansheng went in with his sword, and Fu Zhengguang was a little hesitant, but seeing that Zhang Hansheng had entered, his worries disappeared, and he followed suit.
It was the village chief of Huzhen Village who dragged Shen Fengyue in. He let go and apologized to Shen Fengyue, saying that he had offended him.
After the three of them entered the room, they hurriedly closed the door.
It was already dark outside, and the light was unknown. Now that the door is closed, the room is even darker. It can only be illuminated by the trembling candles placed on the table that seem to be blown out by a gust of wind.
A woman walked up to the village chief, and the two asked them to sit down and sat down, clearing their throats to say something.
The village chief and his wife were in their 50s and 50s. They were all dressed in coarse clothes, with wrinkled yellow wax skin, and their complexion was not good. Especially a pair of cloudy and yellow eyes, it is always uncomfortable to look at people, but they have a kind smile on their faces.
This feels really strange, Shen Fengyue doesn't have a good impression of them, and always feels that this combination of evil and goodwill is a little intimidating. And even more so that those who are well-intentioned and false.
The village chief's wife poured a cup of tea for each of them and let them take a sip to warm up.
It's not like tea. It was filled with a clay cup, and there was a gap in the rim, and the brown liquid filled the cup. As soon as you get close, you can smell a strange smell, and you can see some unknown things floating inside by candlelight.
This "tea" is really unappetizing. In Shen Fengyue's eyes, it was a poison-like existence. There is no fragrance of tea at all, just a strange smell and a cloudy liquid with slag.
He didn't drink, and out of the corner of his eye watched the reaction of the two people around him.
Fu Zhengguang is a son of a wealthy family. Since he was a child, he has never treated him badly in terms of food and clothing expenses, so this is the first time he sees this tea. Although he usually squeaks, he is actually well-bred, he just smiles reluctantly, and doesn't make any big moves.
And Zhang Hansheng had the same cold face as usual.
The village chief and his wife didn't get angry when they saw that they didn't move, and they didn't drink tea, as if pouring a cup of tea was just a process.
"Hey, thanks to God's mercy, to have the disciples of Zhaotianmen come to help me save me is like water and fire." The village chief looked very grateful, "I am really grateful."
Zhang Hansheng politely said that there is no need to thank them, this is their responsibility, and let the village chief explain the situation in Fox Town.
The village chief sighed and began to explain the current situation in Fox Town: "Hey, I don't know if there was such a catastrophe in the small village. Our small village is somewhat closed to the outside world, marriages are all carried out in the village, and it is not easy to have contact with the outside world. Last year, a man in the village brought back a beautiful woman when he was out hunting, saying that he wanted to marry him back home to be his wife.”
"That woman is indeed unparalleled in beauty. She has a clean life and looks good. She speaks gently and softly, and treats people with kindness and courtesy. Gradually, everyone doesn't mind her identity as an outsider, and they all agree with this marriage."
"But the unfortunate things also started at this time..." The village chief changed his voice and continued, "The woman married into the village, and strange things began to happen in the village. First, some people got sick. In the end, I could only watch them die. Then, rumors of haunting began to spread. People die every day in the village, and everyone is shrouded in the shadow of death…”
Shen Fengyue asked, "Why didn't you run away?"
Hearing the words, the village chief gave him a deep look and explained: "Some people were afraid and ran out of the village, even for more than ten miles, only to wake up the next day and find that they were still lying on the ground. The bed in the house in the village! This village can't escape! No matter how far you run, you will come back the next day, back to this place. It's like an unbreakable curse that will forever curse and erode the innocent in the village people."
"We don't know what mistakes we made to cause such a big disaster! Is this the wrath of God?! One day, a Taoist priest came to the entrance of the village, saying that there were evil spirits in the village, and he traveled all over the place to come here to help They. The villagers seemed to have found hope to welcome him into the village. The Taoist priest did some surveys, and finally said that the demon is... that woman."
"What did you do to her?" Fu Zhengguang guessed the end of this kind of story after hearing the beginning. Isn't that the way they are in this story
Sure enough, the village chief said: "Kill it. The Taoist chief said that the evil spirit must be burned to death, so we burned her to death."
Shen Fengyue touched her chin: "But it's useless, right?"
"Yes, it's useless." The village chief said, "Everyone thought that the evil spirits had been eliminated, and the curse should be broken. But no, the village continued to die, and even the Taoist priest was found dead the next day. Throw it at the entrance of the village."
The story is over, but there is no clue. When the village chief saw that it was getting late, he proposed to let them rest quickly, and warned them that no matter what happened outside at night, they must not open the door. It was a monster who was tempting them, and once they went out, they would be eaten immediately.
Shen Fengyue and the others said they knew, and then they were divided into rooms.
There are two rooms in the village chief's house, so it is impossible for them to be crowded together, but for safety, they decided to keep one person each.
Zhang Hansheng was in charge of guarding the village chief, and Shen Fengyue and Fu Zhengguang were in charge of guarding the village chief's wife. When they were all together, they made a floor under the bed.
The night was cool and silent, and the only sound in the air was the slow breathing of a person who was asleep.
Suddenly, an exclamation sounded outside, successfully awakening Shen Fengyue. With the belief that he won't die if he doesn't die, he turned around and chose not to hear it, intending to continue to sleep.
But the voice didn't let him go, it sounded like a talisman. Shen Fengyue couldn't sleep anymore. In the dark night, he opened his eyes.
"Fu Zhengguang, wake up, did you hear the strange screams outside?" He pushed Fu Zhengguang next to him, but they slept like a dead pig, motionless.
Shen Fengyue pushed him a few times but didn't respond, and kicked him angrily.
At this time, a woman's voice suddenly came from above: "I heard it." It was the village chief's wife.
The sudden female voice startled Shen Fengyue, and he was relieved when he found out that it was the village chief's wife.
"It's alright, go to sleep, as long as you don't go out and open the door, you'll be fine." He comforted the village chief's wife like this, and then lay down again.
After lying down for a while, the village chief's wife said, "Little brother, can you go to the hall to get a candle. It's too dark in the room, and the old man is a little scared."
Unexpectedly, the village chief's wife had so many things, Shen Fengyue was originally reluctant, but the old people were so requesting, and he would not be able to say anything about the two-step road, so he agreed.
He got up and put on a dress and slipped out the door, successfully getting a candle in the hall. At this time, the screams outside had not stopped, Shen Fengyue looked at the closed door, listened to the screams one after another, and made a face: "Shit, the night is disturbing again! "
The door opened suddenly, and the strong wind poured into the house from the outside, blowing on the body and cooling it.
"?" He still didn't understand what the hell was going on, why did this door open? !
Before he could react, a force suddenly came from behind and pushed him out.
"Fuck!!!!"
