Zhang Chu and the four others had already escaped from Mangdang Mountain. When they passed Wuliu Village again, they found that several villagers from Wuliu Village were waiting for Zhang Chu and the others on the road.
"Great, you are finally back safely." The hunting captain, whose arms turned into octopus tentacles, looked very happy.
Zhang Chu and others stopped, wary, wondering why they were blocking him here.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Chu asked.
The hunting captain said: "Actually, we want to invite you into the village and discuss some things with you."
"Entering the village? Discussing things?" Zhang Chu and the four of them immediately took several steps back.
Just kidding, after entering your village, can you still come out? Don't even know that you are contaminated and take it back to the village, you will be in big trouble.
However, the hunting captain waved his hands hurriedly: "We know that the anger of the horned python is related to you, but don't worry, we don't want to take possession of your treasure."
Zhang Chu knew that they had misunderstood what he meant, but Zhang Chu still looked wary: "What are you doing?"
At this time, the hunting captain said: "To be honest, our village experienced a disaster a few months ago. More than half of the hunting team was killed and injured, and many men died."
"So?" Tong Qingshan asked.
The hunting captain said: "Now, there are many more women than men in our village."
"But our Wuliu Village has rules. Men can only marry three women at most. Now many women can't find men. So, I would like to invite you to our village to see if you can..."
Tong Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's it!"
Immediately afterwards, Tong Qingshan said: "Forget it for today, you have also seen our situation. We must go back quickly, otherwise the villagers will be anxious."
The tainted hunting captain didn't force it, he just nodded: "That's okay, we won't force anyone to do anything. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can come to our village as a guest."
"Okay!" Tong Qingshan agreed casually.
These polluted villagers got out of the way without any difficulties.
Zhang Chu and others passed by safely. These contaminated villagers did not show any abnormality. They just looked ferocious and terrifying, but they were very peaceful.
Zhang Chu and others passed through Wuliu Village, and then, as if running for their lives, they ran towards Zaoye Village.
The villagers in Wuliu Village looked at the direction in which Zhang Chu and the others were leaving and discussed:
"Hey, people in other villages have been a bit strange lately."
"Yes, our village is very hospitable. In the past, everyone would stay for a few nights, but recently, they are not willing to stay anymore. I don't know what happened."
"Perhaps they have angered the big horned python and are afraid that the big horned python will catch up. Remember, if an old man enters our village and asks about this matter, do not leak the news."
…
Not far away, an old man with a half-broken neck came over. He was the old village chief of Wuliu Village.
At this time, the old village chief sighed: "Maybe it's because the mountains have been uneasy recently, and they all have some concerns. Don't think too much."
"It will be fine once the mountains are calm."
…
Zhang Chu and others returned safely.
Tong Qingshan immediately went into seclusion, and the medicinal power of that leaf of dragon scale orchid had already taken effect.
Zhang Chu saw that Tong Qingshan's ears had become slender, like an elf, which added a little bit of enchanting beauty to the already handsome Tong Qingshan.
"If you form a demon pill, you won't become a big demon, right?" Zhang Chu felt weird.
Of course, Zhang Chu didn't say much, but his ears changed slightly, which was harmless.
Now, Tong Qingshan needs to retreat and attack the first level with all his strength.
Zhang Chuze found the old village chief and wanted to inquire about something.
What he saw this time made Zhang Chu feel a lot of confusion and haze.
The bright lard lamp was lit, and the old village chief and Zhang Chu sat at the stone table. Zhang Chu talked about things in Wuliu Village.
The old village chief held an old cigarette bag and smoked it one puff at a time. He looked very silent, but he didn't appear too panicked.
Zhang Chu was surprised that this kind of thing had spread to a certain village. Most people would be very scared when they heard about it, but the expression of the old village chief was a bit too calm.
So Zhang Chu asked: "Old village chief, don't you think it's scary?"
The old village chief said calmly: "There's nothing to be afraid of. What's supposed to come will always come. Just get over it."
"Get over it...Have you seen this kind of thing before?" Zhang Chu asked eagerly.
The old village chief took a heavy drag on his old pipe, and then said: "I heard people from the older generation mentioned that there was such a time sixty years ago."
Zhang Chu's eyelids twitched, it was sixty years ago again!
Zhang Chu couldn't help but ask: "Old village chief, I remember you mentioned that trouble between outsiders and the big demon happened sixty years ago."
The old village chief nodded: "Yes, the chaos this time is the same as sixty years ago."
He took a heavy breath and then said: "Pollution, turmoil, many lives will die, and many villages will disappear..."
"But it doesn't matter, just get over it."
Zhang Chu was surprised. He realized that the old village chief might know a lot of things.
So Zhang Chu asked: "Old village chief, can you tell us in detail what happened sixty years ago? It's better for us to make more preparations."
However, the old village chief smiled bitterly: "I was only three or four years old at the time. How could I remember so many things? Many things were told by the older generation, and I have very few impressions of my own."
"Have the older generation ever mentioned what pollution is about?" Zhang Chu asked.
The old village chief was lost in memories. He smoked cigarettes one after another, his brows couldn't be moved away, as if he was trying to remember.
Finally, the old village chief said: "I only remember that there was a time when the older generation was very taboo about the night in the demon ruins."
"Perhaps, the night in the demon ruins is not only about cannibalism, but also related to pollution. When I was a child, there was a saying of giving gifts to the night god, but gradually, that custom disappeared."
Zhang Chuze asked directly: "Sixty years ago, was there an entire village that was polluted?"
The old village chief nodded: "There have been cases like this, and there are quite a lot of them. Village after village of people have been polluted. They all look like ghosts, but they speak human words and do human affairs."
"As long as you don't mess with them, they won't actively cause trouble."
"So what happened next? What happened to those polluted villages?" Zhang Chu asked.
"No more." said the old village chief.
"No more???" Zhang Chu exclaimed.
The old village chief nodded: "Yes, those things disappeared suddenly, along with their patron saint and the people in the village."
"By the way, those contaminated animals also disappeared suddenly and passed away in an instant."
Zhang Chu looked strange: "Isn't this... a bit strange?"
The old village chief sighed: "So I said, don't think too much, just get through it."
"This chaos will definitely end. As long as we stay in the village and guard the old jujube trees, we will be safe."
The old village chief's idea was simple and simple, and he didn't think too much.
But Zhang Chu always felt something was wrong. He was not a confused person. Facing the unknown, he hoped to find the truth.
Zhang Chu asked again: "Where are those outsiders and big monsters? Why do they fight every day?"
The old village chief was silent for a while, seeming unwilling to mention it.
But Zhang Chu said: "Old village chief, since you know, just tell me. Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense if it is harmful to the village."
The old village chief was silent for a while, and then he said: "I heard that those outsiders and big demons were trying to steal a medicine."
