I looked stunned.
Originally, I thought that Zhang Gui didn't want to cause trouble and didn't take any action when he saw a fork in the road.
But judging from his demeanor, he really didn't see it.
Thinking back to when I entered the village, I noticed the existence of the fork in the road, but none of the three of them responded.
Could it be that, in order to see this fork in the road, what conditions are needed?
For a moment, I felt uncertain.
There was a trace of nervousness on Zhang Gui's paper face, and he said cautiously: "Brother Luo, I really didn't see any fork in the road. Although this area is safe, it is not safe enough. The Taoist priests who want to enter here are trying to break the wall, but we'd better not Go in, it's easy to get into trouble, the archway is right in front."
"Brother Zhang is right." I nodded, showing an expression of lingering fear.
"Let's go." Zhang Gui also relaxed slightly and walked forward.
I squinted my eyes slightly and also raised my legs and took a step.
However, this time, I did not follow the track, but stepped into a fork in the road.
In an instant, everything in front of me changed.
A thin mist surged up and filled the air.
I was standing on a fork in the road, clearly stuck in the village road just ten meters away from the archway at the entrance of the village.
The sky itself, which was pitch dark, was covered with a layer of faint green. The eyeball in the night sky was extremely round and pale, and wisps of fog filled it like meridians.
In the houses on both sides, some doors were ajar, or some windows had faces lying on them.
They were all looking at me and snickering secretly.
My heart was beating loudly, like a drum beating...
I stepped forward without hesitation.
There was no trace of a ghost on the road, and the ghost of retribution never appeared last time.
The Retribution Ghost is not active at all times and spends most of its time resting.
My inference is that Han Chi was killed by the retribution ghost because of something he had done, and he might even have found the location of the items that controlled the retribution ghost.
Therefore, when Han Chu follows me and leaves, the retribution ghost will show up!
If I take the initiative to enter here again, I will have a completely burnt-out mentality!
There is no way to break the situation, and sooner or later someone will kill you.
It's better to work hard and fight for a voice.
Soon, I walked to the front of a slightly shorter house.
Gathering my strength, I stretched out my hand to open the door.
"Director Han?" The voice was very low, basically synchronized with the opening of the door.
There were only creaking sounds in the quiet house and the sound of wind outside, but there was no response at all.
In the small living room, there was only a table that was dirty on all sides. The kettle was on a tray, covered with a few bowls, and there were two used water bowls next to it.
There is a door on the left and two doors on the right, which are tightly closed.
He closed the door behind his back and looked at the bowl on the table.
The last time Han Chu brought me in, he poured me a bowl of water, and I could distinguish my own bowl.
I picked up the pot and poured a bowl of water, and I drank it.
Cool water, refreshing.
After putting down the bowl, I sat at the table and frowned.
Judgment, some errors.
I previously thought that when the Retribution Ghost killed him, it only killed him. It did not let him go to pieces, but kept him trapped here.
At that time, when he fell, it was just a fall, and he would definitely be able to return to the house.
The water bowl has not been cleaned for several days, which means Han Chu has not returned to the house...
Could it be that the ghost of retribution had a fatal hand on him?
For a moment, I felt uncertain.
To achieve the goal, Han Chu is definitely an indispensable part.
After taking a short rest, I got up and left the house, walking straight towards the village road.
Not far away, I saw a person lying on the ground.
White Taoist robe, meticulous hair, and a bun on the top of the head.
Isn’t that Han Qi! ?
My heart sank at first, thinking that Han Qi was dead.
However, I soon realized something was wrong.
His body still undulated slightly.
The living corpse has a breath left, and this breath is hung entirely by obsession. If there is no other external force and the obsession does not dissipate, the living corpse will not die.
Since Han Chu was fine, why was he lying here motionless?
I squatted in front of Han Qi and turned his body over.
His face suddenly stiffened!
Almost all the movable joints on Han Chu's body were pierced with a wooden sword, and there was also one on his forehead.
After death, rigor mortis occurs, and the movement of the corpse becomes very mechanical. The most basic way to restrain the corpse is to restrict its joint movement.
When Lao Qintou asked me to learn the Nine-Liu Technique, although he was teaching by word of mouth and did not know how to use those techniques himself, he still reminded me emphatically on which positions of the ghost woman’s wail stick would hurt the soul most, and the corpse exorcist’s copper coins When using peach wood nails, it is easier to place corpses on those acupuncture points.
Specifically, the wooden sword on Han Chu's forehead was inserted into the fontanelle point.
This place is considered to be the hardest place on the corpse, and it is also one of the fatal spots!
His body movements were restricted, and his soul was also restrained. No wonder Han Chu could only lie here, motionless.
After a moment's hesitation, I carried Han Chu on my back and walked towards his residence.
I noticed that most of the villagers who peeked at me and snickered at me didn't smile. They stared intently, and the emotion they conveyed was shock, and even vague fear.
After returning to the slightly shorter house, I put Han Qi on a chair and then pulled out the wooden sword above his head.
The material is peach wood, but the workmanship can be more refined. However, the wooden sword is stained with traces of blue-black blood, which does not have the function of warding off evil spirits like the normal peach wood sword.
On the contrary, it seemed that the peach wood was impregnated with a sinister aura, and an even more sinister aura calmed Han Chu.
The methods of the Retribution Ghost are...somewhat strange.
Are ghosts using mahogany swords?
Han Chu's distracted eyes suddenly became vivid, and he snorted dullly.
I immediately looked cautiously at Han Chi's face.
He did not retreat. At this time, Han Chu was restrained and he was still unable to move.
"Brother Tang!" Han Chi's low and hoarse voice was filled with a hint of magnetism, and his eyes also became joyful.
"Pull out the remaining wooden swords!" His voice was urging.
I didn't move, and I still looked at Han Chu.
Han Chu's urging became more intense, with a hint of anxiety.
"Brother Tang, you didn't leave but came to save me. I'm extremely touched."
"But it's not advisable to stay here for a long time! We must leave immediately!" Han Chu said again.
I remained silent.
"You don't seem to be a bad person." I said.
From Han Chu's body, there is indeed no killing intent, and there is very little coldness. It is more like the characteristics of a corpse, which makes him so cold and gloomy.
"As a Taoist priest, if I were evil, I would have been burned by thunder. If I were evil, I would not have held him back and let you go, Brother Tang!" Han Chu's voice became thicker.
"No, in fact, you are, and you do all kinds of evil!" I shook my head, denying Han Chu's words.
Han Chu's eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion!
I said word by word: "The cycle of heaven is full of retribution. Because you do all kinds of evil, the devil of retribution will take out your heart. You don't look like a bad person, you just don't look like one! You must have committed extremely evil crimes yourself!"
