The night was quiet and the stars twinkled.
In the city, it is rare to see such beautiful stars. The moon is white and the wind is clear, it should be quiet and beautiful, but at this time no one has the leisure to appreciate such a starry sky.
After the sacrifice, Jiang Luo took off his mask. This mask made him uncomfortable. It looked like a smile, but it had a lifeless feeling, rigid, rigid, and full of weirdness.
He stuffed the mask into his pocket and quietly listened to the whispers of the contestants.
"Did you find anything today?"
"Nothing, how about you?"
"Neither did I. However, I found that there are very few elderly people in this village."
"Even the village chief looks in his fifties, not too old."
There are many elderly people in the countryside who are still working in the fields at the age of 50 or 60. Therefore, there are countless elderly people in the countryside who are healthy and can live to be in their 70s or 80s. old people.
In Shentu Village, I didn't see a few old people.
After Jiang Luo eavesdropped, he withdrew the action of listening.
Lu Yi suddenly said, "Jiang Luo, isn't that the little girl we met before?"
He dragged Jiang Luo and motioned Jiang Luo to look to the left.
Jiang Luo turned his head and saw that the little girl in red quietly moved away from her parents, and ran back covertly from the corner.
He made a prompt decision: "Let's go, let's go and have a look."
Jiang Luo and Lu You kept a low profile away from the crowd and chased after the little girl.
They gradually chased the inaccessible edge of the village.
At the end of the jungle, there is a large wilderness cemetery with graves next to graves.
The tips of the tombs are like small hills, and there is a tombstone in front of each tomb. At first glance, except for the number of different weeds on the grave bags, almost all the grave bags are exactly the same.
Jiang Luo glanced at the tip of the grave quickly, and quickly saw a red figure, "There."
The little girl is digging a grave.
His hands were no bigger than a slap, neither a shovel nor a shovel, his two white and tender hands were digging the grave with his bare hands, and the sharp blades of grass and hard stones soon scratched blood.
Even if someone came, they just looked up at Jiang Luo and Lu Yi, then lowered their heads and continued digging graves.
Jiang Luo squatted down without changing his face, and said softly, "Little sister, what are you doing?"
Lu You shivered and crouched beside Jiang Luo.
The little girl didn't respond, Jiang Luo repeated it, and the little girl said dully: "I'm digging a grave,"
Jiang Luo patiently said, "Why dig a grave?"
Little girl: "I'm looking for my parents."
"Are your parents under the grave?" Jiang Luo said calmly, "Then the parents we met during the day were not your real parents?"
The little girl didn't say anything, but shook her head silently, not denying Jiang Luo's question, but expressing that her parents were not real parents.
After digging two more graves, he suddenly looked up at the sky and murmured, "It's getting dark, I'm going home."
After he finished speaking, he dropped the grave bag and Jiang Luo who had dug out a small hole, and rushed into the dense forest.
Jiang Luo and the two were caught off guard, and waited for the little girl's figure to disappear before they reacted. Lu Yi swallowed, "Then let's go too?"
Jiang Luo looked down at the grave bag, his half-drooping eyelashes moved, and the corner of his mouth suddenly raised, "Lu Yi, have you ever dug a grave?"
Lu Yi: "…"
Ten minutes later, the two long pieces of wood picked up by the two people began to dig up the grave.
The "color" of the moon is in the sky, and the pale moonlight hits the open space, which is brighter than a lamp.
Lu Yi was sweating profusely from digging, and after immersing himself in the digging of the grave, he no longer felt afraid.
The coffins in this tomb were buried very shallowly, and it didn't take long for the skin of the coffin to "exposed" from the tomb.
The two of them worked together to clear the soil, Jiang Luo's wooden tip lifted the coffin lid, Lu Yi's voice trembled, "Luo, shall we really open it?"
Jiang Luo stopped and glanced at the tomb bag, "Then let's bury it back?"
Thinking of the hard work of digging the grave just now, Lu Yi shut up.
Jiang Luo slammed the coffin open with a single force. Lu Yi took a look and took a breath of cold air.
They saw two corpses, a man and a woman, lying in the coffin, exactly the same as the parents of the little girl they had seen during the day.
The corpse was somewhat decomposed, the clothes were neat, and it should have died recently.
Lu Yi: "This, this..."
If the two bodies in the coffin were the parents of the little girl, who were the couple they saw during the day
After reading the corpse, the puzzle was not solved a bit, but it was even more 'chaotic'. Jiang Luo and Lu Yi covered the coffin, and the tomb bag returned to its original state.
Jiang Luo buried the last handful of soil and ran to the tombstone to read the words on the tombstone.
Lu Yi wiped the sweat on his face, but out of the corner of his eye caught a light flashing behind Jiang Luo, he jumped in his heart and shouted, "Jiang Luo get down!"
Jiang Luo only heard the sound of a breaking wind, he reacted quickly and rolled on the spot, all the way to the other grave.
After he settled down, he looked up and saw a broad blade with a flickering cold light 'plugged' straight into the ground he had just been in. The sharp blade was halfway down. The sword cut in half.
Jiang Luo looked in the direction where the big knife was thrown.
A man with a strange image came out of the jungle.
He was wearing a very strange clothes, like a layer of tattered cloth wrapped around him, and like a robe with a simple shape. He gradually stepped into the moonlight from the darkness, the tall figure smashed the fallen leaves and branches, walked to the side of the big sword, and pulled the big sword.
With a "snack", the man held the knife and looked at Jiang Luo and Lu Yi or two.
His image is like an ancient soldier, his eyes are cold and full of bloody killing. Jiang Luo got up from the ground, his back was slightly bent, his whole body was tense, and he was ready to attack and escape at any time.
The man oppressed him immensely. This man was not human, but not a ghost. The evil spirit on his body was like the real thing. It was an evil spirit that could only be formed by killing thousands of people.
"Who are you?" Jiang Luo asked tentatively.
The man didn't say a word, but walked towards Jiang Luo with a knife in hand. Jiang Luo turned the yin and yang ring, and to outsiders, he didn't move, as if he was frightened.
Lu You rushed over and hugged the man's thigh. He gritted his teeth and shouted at Jiang Luo, "Run!"
"Run, Jiang Luo!" Lu Yi's face turned pale with anxiety, "Run!"
Jiang Luo was startled.
The man frowned slightly in disgust, stopped walking towards Jiang Luo, looked sideways at Lu Yi, and raised his hand holding the big knife.
The knife light flashed across Lu You. Lu Yi closed his eyes tightly, and was terribly frightened, but he still hugged the man's legs tightly. Just as the big knife was about to fall on his back, a golden light suddenly appeared, and the golden shadow made the man pounce on the side. The tiger roared and roared. Basin opened his mouth wide and roared at the man's face: "Roar!"
Lu Yi opened his eyes blankly, and Jiang Luo walked in front of him panting and squatted down, "Lu Yi, are you an idiot?"
Lu Yi: "Huh?"
Jiang Luo pursed his lips tightly, suppressing it, the divine restraint on his face was tense, and there was a faint intentional indifference. It seems that the scene where Lu Yi sacrificed his life to stop the danger just now didn't get him any movement, and made him very repulsive.
"What are you rushing over," the tone was even a little irritable, "Do I need you to do this?"
But Lu Youyi didn't see anything wrong with him at all, and he replied stupidly: "I think your legs are weak. If I slow down, you will die."
Jiang Luo's inexplicable anger stagnated for a while, he took a deep breath, pulled the idiot up, and looked coldly at the man with the tiger under him.
Just now in a hurry, his mind was full of anger and nervousness, and he almost thought angrily: Who the hell do you dare to touch me
Under such circumstances, he actually summoned Yin Hu, who had never been summoned before. Yin Hu was incomparably huge, twice the size of a real tiger. The colder Jiang Luo looked at the man, the harder Yin Hu stepped on the man's claws, and the angrier his roar.
The man seemed to still have strength, he moved the hand holding the knife, Yin Hu seemed to be provocative, and smashed the man's head with a heavy claw.
Blood dripped from the man's forehead, and the man finally closed his eyes. Jiang Luo took Lu You slowly over, his sharp eyes swept the man's body, and the big knife in the man's hand kicked aside.
Lu Yi looked at the mighty tiger without blinking, and was amazed for three consecutive times without stopping: "Fuck, fuck, fuck!"
"So handsome!"
He wanted to stretch out his hand to "touch" the tiger, but the man under the tiger's claws suddenly opened his eyes, and the wound on his forehead had recovered as before.
Lu You was so frightened that he sat down, "Jiang Jiangluo, he opened his eyes again!"
Jiang Luo immediately turned his head to the side, and saw the man staring at them with his eyes wide open. Except for looking at them, he didn't even struggle.
The tiger roared, and the man looked at the tiger facelessly, then at Lu Yi and Jiang Luo, "Who are you?"
He paused, "Who am I?"
Jiang Luo: "…"
Lu Yi: "…"
The man's expression showed a bit of confusion, which relieved the coldness on his face, "Why is this tiger stepping on me."
"Do you pretend again?" Lu Yi scorned, "You bastard, can you fool us like this?"
"Is the dead ghost my name?" the man, "then what is your name?"
Jiang Luo: ... come to a hexagram in case of indecision.
The horoscope proves that the man is not lying. Jiang Luo discreetly entangled the man with the golden "sex" talisman and let him get up.
After the man got up, Jiang Luo lost his memory.
When the tiger fell on the man, the man fell on a sharp stone. The stone "inserted" into the back of the man's head. What is the origin of the man? In a short period of time, the wound on the back of the head was healed. The wound was tightly wrapped with the stone, and only a small point of the stone remained on the scalp. Outside.
Jiang Luo squinted at the wound and even smiled.
The anger just now dissipated a lot. He and Lu You glanced at each other, and Lu You coughed, "Have you really forgotten who you are?"
The man's expressionless face had blank doubts: "Didn't you say that I am called a ghost?"
Lu Yi choked, then laughed wickedly, "No, the dead ghost is just your nickname, you still have a big name."
Man: "What's my big name?"
"It's called Jiaojiao," Lu Yi said seriously, "because you like to act like a baby."
The man groaned for a moment, "Then you still call me a ghost."
After confirming that the man really lost his memory, Jiang Luo didn't want to do anything to a man who seemed like a new born. He said lightly, "Lu Yi, let's go."
Lu You immediately left the dead ghost and followed Jiang Luo, and the two walked out of the cemetery, but the man who wanted to kill them just picked up the big knife and silently followed behind them.
Jiang Luo let out Yin Hu and pulled his lips coldly: "If you follow us again, I'll be welcome."
"What?" The dead ghost looked at them in confusion, "Aren't we friends?"
Who would be friends with someone who wants to kill them
Jiang Luo stopped giving up, released Yin Hu to deal with the man, and walked away from the tomb with Lu You.
The man who was left on the spot resisted the tiger's attack with difficulty and slowly moved to chase after them.
…
Half an hour later, Jiang Luo and Lu Yi returned to their residence. They told their companions about the corpse of the little girl's parents, which was so strange that everyone couldn't understand what they were thinking.
"It seems that we can only wait for Tian's ancestral hall to choose people," Wen Renlian frowned. "This selection doesn't mean anything. Do you think it looks like someone who chose to sacrifice?"
"If it is the person who chooses the sacrifice, the village chief should not say 'don't be in a hurry' and 'don't have a dispute'," Ge Zhu held his chin, "unless this sacrifice represents good fortune in their eyes. meaning."
Just as Liao Si was talking, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked out of the window, his eyes flashed with surprise, and then smiled: "It seems that there is a living dead outside the door."
As soon as his voice fell, a shadow was reflected in the gap in front of the door.
Lu turned his head to look at Jiang Luo for a moment: "No way?"
Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows and got out of bed to open the door. The man standing outside was like an ancient man with a large knife.
There are many wounds on the man's body, the wounds have healed, only the more dirty clothes and blood stains can prove his embarrassment. The man looked at Jiang Lai, his brows relaxed, but his face was still paralyzed: "Friends, I'm here to find you."
A few people from Lu You left behind Jiang Luo, and Lu You couldn't say a word: "Why is it still you."
Liao Si looked at the man behind the crowd, his eyes flashed, and he raised his voice: "Jiang Luo, do you know this living dead man?"
The man heard the sound and glanced in the direction of Liao Si. Liao Si was silently lip-syncing: Why are you here
The mouth just said a word, the man turned his eyes away without any fluctuations, and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Luo and Lu Yi, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to Liao Si.
Liao Si's forehead twitched, how did Tenbi become like this
"Is he a living dead?" Jiang Luo turned to Liao Si, "What is a living dead?"
Liao Si returned to his senses and explained: "The living dead are people whose bodies are dead, but they can move like living people. They are different from corpses. They still have the memory of being alive and seem to be alive and dead at the same time."
Ye Xun added: "The living dead are very rare, some people are too suffocating, and no evil emissary dares to detain his soul when he dies. Only by chance can he become a living dead who travels between the heavens and the earth."
And the man in front of him was undoubtedly the one that Ye Xun said.
Jiang Luo thought with great interest, why would a rare living dead appear in Deep Earth Village
What would come to kill him and Lu Yi
Everyone looked at the man curiously. Seeing that other contestants noticed the movement here, Jiang Luo let the man into the room.
The man is sitting at the table with the big knife on the table. There is still soil left on his knife when he attacked Jiang Luo. Under the light, Jiang Luo can clearly see the appearance of the knife, but the appearance of the sharp knife is very simple. There is a circle of black "color" cloth wrapped around the handle of the knife, other than that, there is no decoration.
Under Jiang Luo's gaze, there was some black evil spirit around the knife. In the tumult of suffocation, there are countless ghost faces trying to escape, and they are imprisoned in the knife face.
"You want my knife?" The man suddenly said, "I can't give it to you because I only have this weapon."
Jiang Luo retracted his eyes and turned his head lazily: "How did you find it?"
"Following your scent," the man frowned, "the scent contradicts 'chaos' and makes me go around a lot. Friends, are you hard to get rid of me?"
Lu Youyi whispered in Ye Xun's ear: "He said it's so strange, and it's a slap in the face."
Ye Xun nodded, "Looking at his appearance, it should be a living dead who has lived for hundreds of years."
Zhuo Zhongqiu asked curiously at this time, "What's your name?"
Man: "I'm a dead ghost."
Everyone was silent, "...It's a really good name."
It's getting late, it's time to rest. Everyone put these things aside for the time being, and go back to bed to rest first.
When others were busy and no one cared, Liao Si seemed to stand beside the man inadvertently, looking at the scenery outside the window, "Teng Bi, what are you doing?"
Teng Bi looked at him strangely, "Who is Teng Bi?"
Liao Si frowned, "Did you really forget or fake it?"
Teng Bi didn't want to pay attention to this eccentric person, he closed his eyes and turned a blind eye.
Liao Si's smile froze, and when he saw the people from Baihua University coming over, he had to press it down.
Day.
Early in the morning, Jiang Luo went out, planning to find the little girl he met yesterday.
It didn't take long for him to notice changes in the village.
There are many more girls going back and forth in the village. These girls had ruddy faces, and eyes like black pearls were bright and full of meaning. Their rich and shiny hair is braided behind them, their bodies are slender, and their clothes are neat and close-fitting from head to foot, as delicate as if they were not peasant girls.
Jiang Luo approached a girl with a good face and asked. As soon as he got close, he smelled a sweet fragrance on the girl, "Sister, why do you have so many beautiful girls today?"
Jiang Luo's appearance is so good that he is not like a mortal. When he smiles on purpose, it makes people blush and heartbeat. Coupled with the sweetness of his mouth, the girl covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes shining like stars, "Because the ancestral hall is choosing people today. We all want to be Bride of God, of course you are well dressed."
"The selection of the ancestral hall is to choose a bride for the gods?"
The girl's eyes gradually became obsessed with a look of "fascination", "The ancestral hall will only be opened when the gods choose a bride. We have already promised ourselves to the gods. As long as the gods chose me, Will come and take me away on an auspicious day."
Jiang Luo thoughtfully bid farewell to the girl, and after walking around the village without finding the little girl in red, he returned to his residence to meet his companions.
The companions also paid attention to the affairs of the girls in the village, and Wen Ren leaned his chin: "Are you Luohuadong girls?"
"Luohuadongnv, together with the corpse and poison, are called the Three Evils in Western Hunan," Wen Renlian said softly, "Luohuadongnv are some unmarried women who imagined themselves to be married to gods, and their sweethearts are gods, so they No more mortals will be tempted. They will keep their beauty and demure every day, looking forward to the day when they truly marry God."
Zhuo Zhongqiu: "You mean, there is a god here?"
Wen Renlian shook his head, "Is there really a 'god', or someone is pretending to be a ghost, we can't guess. If we want to figure out the secrets, the best way is to mix in with those girls, today Go to the ancestral hall again at six o'clock in the afternoon."
The casual Jiang Luo heard the words, and suddenly had some bad predictions, and he took a step back without a trace.
"If you want to mix in with girls, of course you will pretend to be a girl," Wen Renlian smiled. "Although I can, it's not enough for me to be alone. Isn't that right, Jiang Luo?"
Everyone neatly looked back at Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo: "...I don't wear women's clothes."
Don't wear it to death. .
