After the frozen villagers were carried back to their houses, no matter how warm the room was or even if they were roasted on a fire, the frost on their bodies would not thaw. Their families could only watch each other die.
Hearing this, Guan Heng thought to himself: "The thing that attacks the villagers is probably some kind of evil ghost, just like the white ghost before it is purified. This kind of thing is really harmful, but its occurrence is probably Directly related to the babies abandoned by the villagers."
As Guan Heng expected, Granny Chen continued: "In the autumn of that year, the villagers were hit by strange black shadows and then froze to death. This incident lasted for more than a month. Everyone was so scared that they dared not go out at night. Later, There are rumors that it is those babies who were abandoned in the years of disaster who turned into ghosts and came back to seek revenge on their relatives who abandoned them."
"Then these people who froze to death are not sins..." Tian Lin, who was outspoken and outspoken, was about to say the words "deserved", but was glared fiercely by Guan Heng from the side. She suddenly felt that she was speechless and hurriedly stopped. Mouth.
"Actually, you girl is right. We all had no choice but to throw away our own flesh and blood. What we did was indeed excessive."
Hearing this, Granny Chen sighed: "Oh, so the villagers became more and more scared as they thought about it, and even had the idea of moving elsewhere. However, in the cold winter of that year, someone came from the direction of Aishan Mountain, and the incident happened because of him And changed."
"That man claimed to be some elder of the Cabinet Mountain Witch Clan." After a slight pause, Granny Chen continued: "He said that the people in Jackdaw Village threw away those babies that had strange changes before they died, and that they were being hunted by the Witch Clan. The ghosts used their resentment to invade, and now they have turned into monsters called 'abandoned ghosts'."
"Abandoned baby ghost?!" Tian Lin heard this and muttered: "Just hearing the name makes me feel scary."
"That's right, those things are more terrible when they harm people." Granny Chen picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the burning fire pit. The flames burned the surface of the wood, making a crackling sound, and the room suddenly became much warmer. .
Granny Chen continued: "The elders of the Wu Clan also said that the abandoned baby ghost is derived from the fusion of the purest and innocent baby soul with a ghost. Instead, it becomes extremely evil. This kind of thing is extremely difficult to conquer and destroy. Fortunately, abandoned babies The Wali ghost only comes out every autumn and usually sleeps underground in the mountains and forests."
So, the elders of the Wu clan taught everyone a method, asking the villagers of Jackdaw Village to cut down a large number of ancient trees that were hundreds of years old, and then planed, carved and turned twelve "giant wooden pillars". The surface of the wooden pillars were all carved with ferocious figures. The face of the abandoned baby is lifelike.
Because ancient trees have the effect of destroying evil and suppressing evil, they can barely restrict the activities of evil ghosts. After that, everyone buried the giant wooden pillars in the land among the mountains and forests according to twelve directions.
After the wooden pillars were buried, the witch clan elder stayed in the forest for a period of time, using the witch clan's secret method to increase the evil-suppressing effect of the wooden pillars.
When leaving, the elder said that in the first thirty years after the new wooden pillar was laid in the earth, because it had the best power to destroy evil, it could completely suppress the evil ghosts who appeared to harm others, and the other party could only stay in the earth and sleep.
Sixty years later, those wooden pillars will probably have begun to decay, and their power to destroy evil will be greatly reduced. It should be impossible to imprison the evil spirits of the evil ghosts, and they will definitely escape.
The elders of the Wu clan made it clear that a period of time is neither long nor short. If everyone can move, it is best to leave before the time is up. Otherwise, as soon as the "abandoned child ghost" appears, this cold Crow Village will turn into a dead place in a few days and nights, and no living person can escape this disaster.
After hearing this, Guan Heng, Tian Lin, and Ruotao shouted in unison: "Is it really that powerful?!"
"Hahaha, I don't know." Granny Chen said at this moment: "I was only a little over a year old at the time, and my family was relatively wealthy. My parents were not willing to abandon me. Otherwise, I might become a Monster."
Having said this, Granny Chen smiled strangely at Tian Lin, who was sitting closest to her. The other person immediately called out "Oh my God" and then said tremblingly: "Grandma, please don't scare me."
"I'm sorry." Grandma Chen had a rejuvenating character. She smiled slightly at this moment, but then she raised her eyes to look at the sky outside the window. She muttered: "It's weird, my son usually goes to the forest to cut firewood. This time should have come back, why haven't you entered the door today? Could it be..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the old woman suddenly slapped her thigh: "Oh no, this child must have encountered an abandoned child, right?"
"Huh?!" Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. Immediately afterwards, Guan Henghuo stood up and said: "Mother-in-law, tell me where brother Chen Zheng went to chop wood. I'll go and see Let’s see.”
"Yes, mother-in-law, just let Brother Guan look for him." Tian Lin said, "Brother Guan is alert and shrewd. With him here, we can definitely find your son."
"Well, please." Granny Chen also became nervous at this time. She led Guan Heng to the gate and pointed with her fingers: "Here, just go to the back mountain along the west side of the village. Chen Zheng goes there every day. You have to be more careful when cutting firewood over there, Guan Heng."
"Guan Heng, don't worry, I will take care of everything here." After hearing what Agou said behind him, Guan Heng nodded slightly: "Okay, I'm going."
…
At the same time, Grandma Chen's son, Chen Zheng, who had lost track of time while chopping firewood in the forest, looked up at the sky and said to himself: "Tsk, I've been wasting too much time and it's already dark."
Chen Zheng, a young man with a square face and big ears, has an honest appearance. He is especially filial to his mother. At this time, he had a premonition that returning home late might make his mother worried, so he reached out to carry the bundle of firewood and walked down the mountain.
But in the next moment, Chen Zheng suddenly felt the cold wind blowing behind him, mixed with the sound of rustling footsteps, as if something had appeared.
Young people are somewhat curious, and Chen Zheng is no exception. When he quietly looked back, he found a shadowy figure in front of him, carrying a load of firewood, staggering toward the end of the forest.
"Isn't that Brother Wang Qi? He didn't go home after chopping firewood. Why did he go to the mountain in the opposite direction?"
Wang Qi and Chen Zheng were both woodcutters from the same village. Wang Qi and Chen Zheng were good friends. When he saw each other's strange behavior, Chen Zheng originally wanted to say hello loudly, but then he thought that he might as well follow him and have a look, so he chased him after him.
The two parties walked in tandem, and after walking for a short time, they finally came to a place. Chen Zheng felt a chill down his spine when he saw it, because this place was called "Shiying Tomb", which was the place where the villagers abandoned their own flesh and blood during the disaster. .
"Why does Brother Wang come here?" Thinking of this question, Chen Zheng couldn't help but feel frightened. His curiosity had long been replaced by inexplicable fear. He slowly moved back and wanted to turn around and run away: "We can't stay here anymore. .”
