As soon as the words fell, the village suddenly became quiet. The heads of the villagers turned around and looked at them lying on the dragon bones.
Jiang Yao was sure that his voice was very low, and they were not close. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the villagers to hear their conversation.
The villagers exuded a creepy malice. Seeing that they were about to come, Jiang Yao and Helianyin got off the keel as high as the wall and ran away.
"Army soldiers and enemy spies are invading!!"
A sharp cry came from the stockade, and with a 'boom', a figure jumped over the fence of the stockade and jumped directly in front of them.
The villagers with scars on their faces moved very nimbly and quickly, blocking their way up the mountain.
Jiang Yao and Helianyin looked at each other and decided to act separately.
They did the opposite, climbed over the fence and rushed into the stockade.
The villagers could only scatter and chase. They held iron forks and shovels in their hands. They were so strong that they could break the bluestone floor with one beat.
Jiang Yao thought of the Yinlin Mountain Code.
[Article 5: If you see the Dragon Burial Village, please do not enter it. If you see the villagers, please stay away as soon as possible to avoid being discovered. 】
The villagers harbored deep malice towards outsiders and would rather kill them by mistake than let them go.
Let’s not talk about whether they were hunted down because they disturbed the ritual activities held in Dragon Burial Village. Let's just say that these villagers are all extremely vicious. They don't look like villagers, but look like bandits in the mountains.
Jiang Yao's body's vitality and mental values were severely weakened, with less than 300 points left. The strange dark green thread on the wound on his left shoulder caused the mental values to continue to decrease.
She was almost hit several times, but she managed to avoid them all.
There is no way to continue like this. We must find a way to get rid of these villagers.
Just as Jiang Yao was running away and thinking, a figure appeared in front of her and waved to her.
Without any time to hesitate, she rushed in the direction indicated by the man.
It is an old village house, the house is heavy with dust, it is worse than the deserted house of the mountain guard halfway up the mountain, and it is uninhabited.
As soon as she came in, the villagers chasing her outside the house ignored the broken house and went to other houses to look for her traces.
Jiang Yao did not relax his vigilance and pulled out the ax from his waist with a defensive look on his face.
The cold, damp and black wooden windows cast a few rays of light, and I could barely see what was going on in the room. A figure shrank in the shadows, its body was almost transparent, and it was trembling weakly.
This is a ghost.
Monsters and ghosts are also transformed after death. Monsters have bodies that are the same as humans in the ghost realm, while ghosts have no physical body, just like the female ghost Yu Shuangshuang who stays at home.
The ghost in front of him was extremely weak. It is the lowest level ghost. It cannot appear during the day and can only appear at night.
Seeing this, Jiang Yao put away his ax and took a closer look.
She is young, fourteen or fifteen years old, a female ghost, with two ponytails, beautiful appearance, and a local of Burianlong Village.
Jiang Yao took out two burning incense sticks he found in the mountain guard's deserted house from his backpack, inserted them into the muddy ground, lit them with flints, and contributed a pack of compressed biscuits, placed them on a stone, and worshiped the female ghost.
A magical scene happened. The compressed biscuits on the bluestone came into the hands of the female ghost. The two burning incense and smoke penetrated into the female ghost's spirit body, slowly nourishing it.
The female ghost devoured the pack of compressed biscuits and inhaled the incense. Her weak and transparent spirit gradually became clear. She stood up and kowtowed to Jiang Yao.
"You saved me and we are even." Jiang Yao stopped her from kneeling down.
The female ghost looked at her blankly with only her pupils remaining, and said something for a long time.
"You are a good man."
Jiang Yao introduced himself: "My name is Jiang Yao, and I am an outsider."
She urgently needs to know the clues in Dragon Burial Village.
The female ghost said: "My name is Ye Xiaolan, and I am a resident of Burial Dragon Village."
Jiang Yao asked about the major events that had happened in this village.
Ye Xiaolan thought about it for a long time and shook her head.
"Sorry, I forgot a lot of things. I don't remember much about the village."
Jiang Yao was not disappointed and had already expected her answer.
After becoming a ghost, the ghost will slowly lose the memory of his previous life. The girl in front of him had obviously been dead for a long time.
Jiang Yao then asked: "Then what do you remember?"
The memory in Ye Xiaolan's mind became scattered fragments, not segmented. I can only pick out the important ones.
"I remember that people in the village would always go to Yinlin Mountain and Heihe River to worship..."
Jiang Yao: "Who do you worship?"
Ye Xiaolan held her head, "The mountain gods and the Black River Dragon God... protect the harvest in the coming year..."
At this point, her expression suddenly became panicked, and she spoke incoherently.
"You can't, you can't eat it. You can't eat the fish in the river."
Jiang Yao raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
Ye Xiaolan still shook her head: "I don't know."
I don’t know why I can’t eat the fish in the river, and I don’t know why I’m so scared.
Jiang Yao mentioned Yinlin Mountain: "You can't eat the plants in the mountain, right?"
Ye Xiaolan nodded vigorously upon hearing this.
None of them can be eaten.
Jiang Yao was thoughtful.
Since fish in the river and wild vegetables and plants in the mountains cannot be eaten, what do the villagers in Burial Dragon Village rely on for a living?
Also, when did you start being unable to eat?
Jiang Yao's eyebrows were covered with a haze, and he took a breath and asked.
"What will happen if you eat it?"
Ye Xiaolan said with a bitter look on her face: "If you eat it, you will turn into a sheep."
sheep? Jiang Yao thought of the sheep-headed man he met last night. In other words, the sheep-headed man was transformed by the villagers who ate fish and wild vegetables from the mountains?
She scratched her head, and her forehead started to itch ten minutes ago, as if there were dense ants crawling around, or something was about to break out of the ground.
Jiang Yao tried his best to suppress the urge to scratch his head and asked, "What should we do?"
Ye Xiaolan looked around and made sure no one was around before answering in a low voice.
"Look for Grandma Wushan, she can break the evil curse."
Jiang Yao frowned.
It's Grandma Wushan from The Code of Yinlin Mountain.
[4. Granny Wushan is in the cave under the dragon bone in Section 13. If you encounter danger, please go there. Granny Wushan will protect every outsider. 】
Ye Xiaolan said that turning into a sheep is an evil curse that only Granny Wushan can solve.
What role does this mother-in-law play?
Jiang Yao asked Ye Xiaolan, who hesitated and didn't know who her mother-in-law was.
I couldn't find any other useful clues later.
Jiang Yao stood up and walked to the wooden window and looked out through the gap in the window edge.
The villagers were still looking everywhere, and there were several villagers standing high up. As long as she went out, they would find her immediately.
"Don't go out, any outsiders caught will die."
Ye Xiaolan floated behind her and whispered advice.
Jiang Yao: "Why didn't they search this room?"
Every house in the village was searched several times, but this house was never searched. They didn't seem to know there was a house here. They passed by it five or six times and didn't get even half a step closer.
