Chapter 56: Ghosts

86_86570Dengjia Village is a typical deep house compound type village, each house is built next to each other, and the traffic is full of chickens and dogs.

According to legend, this was once a branch of the Deng family of the previous dynasty, but after the change of dynasties and the changes of the years, the Deng family has disappeared, and this branch has gradually become a small village.

However, there is a bit of a heritage here, and the style and layout of the building are quite atmospheric.

Zhou Cheng led Feng Qinghui and the other three into Dengjia Village, and as soon as they walked through the archway at the entrance of the village, they saw a row of people standing on the long street in front of them.

At the head of the group is an elderly man with gray hair and crutches, and behind him is a group of opera troupes beating gongs and drums, dragon and lion dances......

Seeing this, the corners of Zhou Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, are these people in Dengjia Village welcoming the inspection of their superiors?

Feng Qinghui, Wang Qingzheng and Xu Qingquan were also a little at a loss, they had never seen this battle before.

When Zhou Cheng and the others walked in some more, the old man at the front suddenly bowed down with a cane, and shouted with full anger: "Old Deng Mingyong, add to be the head of Dengjia Village, welcome the Master of the Pure Yang Sect, please surrender the ghosts, and return a clean and clean village to Dengjia Village!"

Immediately afterwards, the men who beat gongs and drums, danced dragons and lions, and danced dragons and lions also stopped their movements, knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "Welcome to Master Chunyang Sect, please surrender the ghosts, and return Dengjia Village to a clean world!"

The refiner has mana and can exert all kinds of incredible power through the artifact, so there are ordinary people who call the refiner a mage.

Zhou Cheng hurriedly stepped forward, and as soon as the mana was gently lifted upward, these villagers all stood up, and with his character, he was still a little uncomfortable to be bowed down by so many people.

"You don't need to be polite, I came on the orders of the master, and I will naturally surrender that ghost. Zhou Cheng said softly, for these rather simple villagers, he had no intention of pretending to be a master.

Although Deng Mingyong was old, his eyes were bright, he looked at Zhou Cheng, the hesitation in his eyes flashed, but he still said respectfully: "A few mages will enter the village with the old man first, we have prepared a banquet, and a few mages can enjoy it to their heart's content." ”

Deng Mingyong's expression naturally couldn't escape Zhou Cheng's eyes, but he was not surprised, after all, his current appearance was too deceptive, although he had grown a lot taller during this time, he still looked a little childish.

As for the banquet, Zhou Cheng did not shirk it, if he refused, it would inevitably make these villagers feel uneasy, thinking that they would not do their best to subdue the ghosts.

As for Feng Qinghui, Wang Qingzheng, and Xu Qingquan, all three of them are looking forward to Zhou Chengma, so naturally there will be no objections.

......

The banquet in Dengjia Village is not a delicacies from the mountains and seas, but these peasant dishes taste also good, and when the banquet is about to end, Deng Mingyong finally speaks and says: "Master Zhou, since this ghost thing appeared, it has disturbed our Dengjia Village without peace." ”

Zhou Cheng knew that this was about to get to the point, and his expression became solemn, and he asked: "Please tell me the specific information about the ghost thing, when did it appear, and what did you do?"

Although the jade slip that Qingyun gave him contained information about ghosts, it was not detailed, so it was better to ask the village chief again.

Deng Mingyong nodded, his old face was full of sadness, he sighed and said: "One night a month ago, Deng San came back from hunting, and when he passed an uninhabited old house in the north of the village, he suddenly heard the cry of a child coming from inside. Deng San was an upright and kind-hearted child, so he decided to investigate. ”

After Deng San entered the old house, he followed the source of the sound and the light of the fire fold, and began to look for the child. It's just that this old house is too dark, and there are a lot of clutter on the ground, so you have to walk carefully, and the cry is also erratic, Deng San's child really spent a lot of effort to determine the source of the cry. ”

When he approached, he finally saw a small figure, like a child of five or six years old, standing there with his back to him and crying quietly. Deng San's child was also a little strange at that time, how could such a young child come here? But after all, he had a good heart, so he walked over and patted the child on the shoulder, planning to say hello first, and then send the child home. ”

Then the crying child turned his head, and Deng San saw the child's face clearly through the dim firelight, it was not a child at all, it was clearly his own face! Although the child's body was five or six years old, his appearance was exactly the same as Deng San's!

"And the kid still has a bloody intestine in his mouth, which he pulled out of his stomach, and just ate the intestine one bite at a time in front of Deng San......"

"Hmm, heck!"

Feng Qinghui retched a few times with a pale face, and then ran out directly, she really couldn't listen to it anymore.

Deng Mingyong sighed, and the sadness on his face became a little heavier, "Master Zhou, that girl ......"

Zhou Cheng's expression was calm, without any panic, and said: "My junior sister is greedy, the food at this banquet is really delicious, she can't help but eat more, who would have thought that she would eat to this point." ”

Wang Qingzheng and Xu Qingquan on the side glanced at each other, it turned out that Senior Brother Qingyuan still had this ability to "talk nonsense in a serious way".

Deng Mingyong's face barely improved when he heard this, but his gaze at Zhou Cheng became a little puzzled again.

Zhou Cheng is now fourteen or fifteen years old, and Feng Qinghui is clearly twenty years old, and being called a junior sister by him will inevitably cause people to be confused, after all, ordinary people do not know the difference between the inner door of the Pure Yang Sect and the true inheritance.

"Let's continue to talk, what happened to Deng San later?" Zhou Cheng asked Deng Mingyong.

The old man pondered for a moment and said: "After the child ate the intestines, he cut out his eyes and ate it, and at this time Deng San finally found out that the child had no feet, so his legs were floating there in the air. ”

After being rescued by people the next day, he himself was extremely weak, and his mind was sometimes sober, sometimes crazy, and it was useless to look for good doctors. ”

"But the matter didn't end there, Deng San's child just started, and then a few people became delirious, and the reasons were different, some heard the woman's cry for help, some picked up the money scattered on the ground, and some were directly pulled into a certain place, but without exception, they all saw ghosts with their feet off the ground and floating in the air!"

"These things have made the entire Dengjia Village panic, and in the end, we have no choice but to trouble a few mages from the Pure Yang Sect. ”

"I'll do my best to subdue that thing. Zhou Cheng nodded, and asked again, "Where are the ghosts appearing these times?"

Deng Mingyong pointed in a few directions, and then described the specific location.

Zhou Cheng sensed the direction Deng Mingyong was pointing into, and his brows furrowed, these locations are all in those three places with a strong ghostly spirit!.
