Chapter 10: The Village of Bones (Part II)

How did the master make up lies to deceive the old man, he didn't meet any people from the Wang family for a funeral last night, obviously ...... I suddenly found that Master was staring at me sternly, and hurriedly nodded slightly to agree with what Master said, although I don't understand what Master means by being so mysterious all day long, but I know that Master is serious, I can only be scared to the point of urine, since Master said so, there must be Master's reason.

"Oh......" After hesitating for a long time, the old man nodded slowly, and said, "I still don't know why Mr. came here?" ”

"Well, we were going to go to the big salt town, passing by here, but unfortunately we met a female ghost wandering among the mountains and fields, and the apprentice was injured a little, so I came to Guidian to disturb." When Master said this, he couldn't help frowning...... "It seems that it will take two days to delay before going to Dayan Town, and the matter here must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the nearby villages may not live in peace, alas!" ”

"I'm old, my legs and feet are not good, I'm afraid that things outside won't be able to help Mr." The old man suddenly said something lukewarm, and continued to pick up the planer and plane.

"How dare you bother the old man, the affairs of the White Bone Village, since it is related to my master and apprentice, my master and apprentice will take care of it clearly, and return this place to a peaceful and peaceful place." The master smiled and clenched his fists, and said politely: "In this case, it is time for my master and apprentice to say goodbye to the old man, thank you for the old man's kindness last night, Ergou, let's go." ”

"Master, just, just leave so soon?" I looked at the master in surprise, and then at the old man in surprise, but when I saw the serious expression on the master's face, I had to nod honestly, and like the master, I gave the old man the Taoist fist salute to bid farewell to the old man.

Strangely, the old man didn't respond until I walked out of the gate with Master, how could I not notice the change in this old man? It was fine before, why did it become so cold in a blink of an eye?

Strange to strange, I can only bury countless curiosities and questions in my heart, followed the master and walked a long way, sure enough, I saw the appearance of a village in front of me, presumably this is the legendary White Bone Village, inadvertently glanced back, I was shocked to find that the old man in the coffin shop was actually standing at the gate with a depressed figure, tremblingly raised his hand and looked at us with his eyes, what a strange old man, just now I didn't react to him at all, and now I went away, but I came out to see.

The village of white bones is indeed desolate as ruins, with many houses collapsed, stones, bricks and tiles scattered almost everywhere, and there is no way to even enter the village.

Large and small, chaotic trees, and patches of weeds, telling us that no one has lived in this village for at least decades, let alone set foot in it, but when I think of the word white bones, I suddenly feel a little stunned, and at the same time that Master is about to enter the village, I hurriedly shouted to Master: "Master, will this village be terrifying?" ”

"What do you say?" Master looked at me like an idiot, and then opened a path and walked in.

I was stunned and hurriedly followed Master in. If it is according to what the old man said, then this white bone village, isn't there white bones in every house? But no one buried them, it's pitiful to think about, the evil killed the carpenter's family of three, and what ended up in the hand was what happened, but the white bones can't be buried, and the abandonment still occupies a large area of the world, it's really a sin......

Walking into the village, the sunlight above your head is suddenly blocked by the dense woods, and the ruins of these houses that have fallen into disrepair look eerie.

"Ergou, in order to cure the strangulation marks on your neck, I also borrowed a hemp rope from this village, since this place is so destined for you, you should make this merit, first check how many white bones there are in the whole village, and then bury them one by one." Master pointed to the ruins and said softly to me.

"Huh?" I grinned.

"Ahhh For the teacher, at most, I will help you check the number of bones, and it is still up to you to bury them, well, now you go east to check, I will go west to check, and when I come back here after checking, remember not to miss it. Master glared at me, pointed me in the right direction, and headed west.

"Master! I ...... "I hurriedly wanted to call out to Master, I was so scared, I was checking the number of bones alone in this gloomy and broken village, why couldn't I check it with two people, really."

After a while, the master had already walked into the courtyard of a household to check the number of bones, but I hesitated in place for a long time, and I had no choice but to grit my teeth, afraid of a ball! Anyway, it's already white bones, can you stand up and eat me?

In a courtyard that was almost collapsing, I walked in tremblingly, and looked around, the reason why these houses will collapse is because the bottom of these houses are piled up with adobe, which is very old, and after the wind and rain, those adobes gradually collapsed, and the bottom plate is unstable, and the top will naturally collapse, well, this should not be done by strange forces, I don't have to scare myself.

"Huh......" But as soon as he kicked open the door of this family's hall with his foot, he suddenly saw a pile of white bones smashed down from the upper beam, leg bones, hand bones, and skulls...... Hula smashed to the ground, scared me to the head of the rat, but just two steps, remembering the task assigned by the master, I had to stop, what to do, this is too scary, if every household is like this as soon as the door is opened and a pile of white bones fall from above, then I am afraid that I have been scared to death before I finish counting.

Covering my chest and walking back again, I found that this pile of white bones fell from above, not without reason, just because this pile of white bones was hanged to death, the upper beam was behind the door, just now I kicked open the door, and the bones naturally fell down, after thinking about it, I hurriedly whispered: "The junior Li Ergou is a disciple of Yang Yuanshan of Maoshan Tantra, this time I came to let the souls of the dead in this village be safe, if you are offended, please forgive me!" ”

After some chatter, I dared to go in, counted, this family has a total of three white bones, when I quickly ran out of the yard, I immediately waved my sleeves to wipe a cold sweat, and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Then came the second one, which was much simpler, the roof was gone, and I could see two white bones in it when I stood far away, and after checking, I quickly slipped out and went straight to the third, fourth, and fifth homes......

After most of the day's work, more than 80 households, I finally saw the dawn of victory, and at present I have judged two hundred and twelve white bones, and there are three more in front of me, and I can give an account to the master after the investigation, but when I think of it, I have to bury them one by one, and when I am buried, I have to touch those white bones with my hands, and then put them in the grave, this, this, this is my life, why does the master let me do everything, really, alas!

The house in front of me, the house seems to be well preserved, but the door is closed, I subconsciously swallowed my saliva, cheer myself up, so many in front of me have come, the remaining three households are not a problem, it is obvious that these white bones will not bite, so I don't have to scare myself, but just pushed the door open, I was so frightened that I shrank my neck and took a few big steps back, almost falling.

Facing the middle hall, on the table under the middle hall, there was a white human skull, which seemed to be bottomless, straight to me, although I was prepared in advance, but I was still taken aback.

After calming down, I have to overcome my fear, otherwise I will always be looked down upon by Master, and I will prove to Master that I am not so idiotic and timid.

Slowly walked into the hall of this family, as soon as my feet touched the ground, I suddenly heard a crisp sound of "click", my heart tightened, and I hurriedly looked down, it turned out to be a small bone, hey, how can there be a bone next to this threshold, after thinking about it, I hurriedly looked up and looked up, it doesn't matter if I don't look, just look up, I saw a white human skull smashed down, just smashed on my forehead, I didn't have time to scream in pain, I was smashed and fainted.

Confused, I don't know whether I fell asleep, or fainted, I only felt that my body bones were fluttering, and it was even darker in front of me, I hurriedly stretched out my hand and rubbed my eyes, and opened my eyes hard, just opened my eyes, the scene in front of me should have changed, suddenly changed, the eyes were still dim, but inexplicably there was a touch of light, and this family's house was cleaned, I turned my head sharply to look, under the middle hall, where there was a human skull, but there was an incense burner, There are three pillars of incense burning on it, I turned around and looked up again, there are no hanging bones on the beam, and there are no white bones on the ground, this, what's going on, I'm ...... What's wrong with me?

Just when I was inexplicable, I suddenly saw a middle-aged man, eagerly pushing two women, walking towards this hall, I was confused, how could these people be dressed the same as the people of the Qing Dynasty?

The man had long braids and shaved half of his head, and the two women were also wearing the clothes of ancient women, and I opened my eyes wide, but I didn't dare to make a sound, and covered my mouth with my hands, for fear that my mouth would accidentally pop out of half a word.

The middle-aged man's voice was thick and powerful: "Xiuzhen, you quickly take the girl into the house and lock the door, I will guard the door, if that slut dares to come, I, Ma Wuliu, will definitely let her soul fly away, even if I die, I will not let her have a good time!" ”

"Father of the child, you also come in and hide, many families in the former village have been killed, you know that you are bold, but how do you know how to deal with ghosts, in case you are gone, then who do we count on in the future?" ......"The middle-aged woman seems to be the man's wife, and at this moment she pulls the middle-aged man back into the house."
