Not long ago, after nightfall, people suddenly heard a babbling sound coming from outside. Out of curiosity, several villagers got dressed and followed the sound to the outside of the village.
It was past midnight, and the villagers saw brightly lit lights not far away, and a stage set up on the wasteland in front of them.
In the middle of the stage stood a woman in a red costume, singing.
The woman's voice was full of complaints and reverberated a thousand times. Although there was no audience, she was still performing hard.
Several villagers were quickly attracted by the sound and stood there to watch.
As he watched, the woman suddenly turned around, and her head turned into a skull!
Several villagers were so frightened that they ran back in a hurry. However, not long after they returned, they fell into a state of madness. Three of them even died because of it!
Later, some children went to the fields to catch birds at night, and saw a few human-like shadows on the ground, holding a lantern in their hands, wandering around.
Several children were frightened and turned around and ran towards home. One of the oldest children was running when he suddenly heard no sound behind him. When he turned around, he found that he was with him. Those companions are all gone!
Weird events like this kept happening, which quickly aroused people's vigilance. People agreed that the source of everything was because Akang dug out the dragon's veins.
So, under the leadership of the village chief, people rushed directly into Akang's house, tied him up, and threatened to burn him alive as a sacrifice to Lord Long in order to appease Lord Long's anger.
"As for me, I am Akang's father."
As the old man spoke, he pointed to the woman sitting next to him and said, "She is my daughter-in-law Anjing."
Without waiting for us to speak, Anjingjing stood up directly and bowed deeply to us.
"Masters, please save A'kang. I had no choice but to resort to this trick. I hope you won't blame me!"
After An Jingjing’s explanation, we learned that after A Kang was arrested, she had been anxious and wanted to save her husband.
She went to explain to the people, but the villagers were determined to burn Akang to death, which made her more and more worried.
Today, she took her child with her and originally planned to go to the city to find help. But as soon as she left the village, she saw a few of us walking towards her.
At that time, we still had talismans attached to our bodies, and we were holding magic weapons such as King Wu's Whip and Coin Coin Sword in our hands. After a quick look at it, we immediately concluded that we were masters such as warlocks.
She was afraid that she would be rejected if she asked for help directly, so she came up with a way to pretend to be Bai Ze's lover and introduced us into the village. After stabilizing us, she told the truth.
I have always been more willing to help others, and as an outgoing man, it is my duty to drive away evil spirits. After listening to An Jingjing’s request for help, I suddenly became interested in the situation in the village.
She just patted her chest and agreed to help her rescue A'kang.
The old man and Jingjing were immediately happy when they received our affirmative reply, and bowed to us repeatedly to thank us.
Then, I asked her about A'kang's situation and asked the two of them to calm down and we would find corresponding ways to rescue A'kang.
The old man agreed wholeheartedly and arranged several wing rooms for us to live in. He said that if there were any needs, he would do his best to meet them.
That day, I asked Jing Jingjing to lead us, and found the child who had seen the silhouette of the lantern before, and asked him where he saw the lantern. At night, we followed the child's instructions and came to the land.
It was already close to midnight, and it was pitch black all around. I couldn't see anything. I opened my eyes wide and stood with Lonnie, Bai Ze, and Xiaona, alert to the movements around me.
Suddenly, I saw a flash of light not far away. We bent over and moved forward. Sure enough, we saw a shadow with green fire all over its body, holding a lantern in its hand, and green fire was coming out of the lantern. The flames, seen from a distance, look like the eyes of a wild beast.
Immediately afterwards, the second and third shadows continued to appear. They lowered their heads, held lanterns, and seemed to be unconscious. They kept wandering on the ground, silently.
Behind them, there was a group of ghosts in black armor, neatly arranged and powerful, looking like an army marching in a hurry.
I was thinking about catching a shadow to see what kind of ghost they were, when I suddenly heard a rustling of footsteps not far away.
I opened my eyes wide and looked around, and I saw several children not far away walking from the village.
These children had their eyes slightly closed and were swaying, seemingly unconscious, as they kept approaching the ghosts.
Under the guidance of those ghosts, several children kept walking towards the depths of the wasteland. They were about to lose sight of them. Lonnie, Bai Ze, I looked at each other and rushed out.
After running behind the children, we took out a talisman and stuck it on their foreheads.
Under the influence of the talisman, the children stopped and remained motionless, as if they were asleep.
Lonnie, Bai Ze, Xiaona and I each picked up a child and ran towards the temple village. After returning to the village, we took off the talismans attached to them.
Only then did the children wake up, and they were all so frightened that they cried. We could only ask the addresses of these children one by one and send them back home.
Because we are still in the investigation stage and it is not convenient for us to show up too much in front of the villagers, we just watched the children enter the house and then turned around and left without contacting their parents.
When I walked to the entrance of the village, I thought about the situation just now. It was indeed too weird, and we still didn't know the identities of those ghosts. After thinking for a while, I silently recited the Immortal Invitation Mantra, intending to ask the Earth Immortal about the situation.
Soon, an old immortal appeared and bowed respectfully to us.
"Cheng Chaofeng, some great immortals, why did they summon the lesser immortals?"
I asked the Earth Immortal: "Senior Earth Immortal, I would like to ask, what is the situation in this temple village? Why have so many ghosts appeared recently?"
The old earth immortal stroked his beard and said calmly: "This matter is a long story."
It turns out that although this temple village is located in a remote place, it is a place with good wind and water. A few decades ago, there was a famine here, and dozens of people in the village starved to death. Because of this excellent geomantic omen and geological conditions, Protection was the only way to suppress the hungry ghosts and prevent them from causing chaos in the village.
