The road from Daxia City to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau was quite far, so Shen Lin chose to drive. It was not an urgent matter and he did not want to trouble the officials too much. These were all human capital, which would have to be paid back sooner or later.
In order to make things easier, there were not many people in this business, only Shen Lin, Zhao Ziliang, and Dai Heming. They were fellow villagers of Dai Heming in that area, so it was also convenient to bring him along.
Dai Heming's hometown is called Changshou Village, which is very similar to the common names of that era. It is said that the older generation of people during the Western Development Development were more stubborn and refused to leave no matter what. In the end, the village just stayed like this, and it is still the same today. The time of peace and tranquility actually became a unique symbol of that era.
This seems to be a characteristic of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. There are always some buildings left over for various reasons.
This made Shen Lin unconsciously construct everything about Fengmen Village in his mind.
He still knew very little about this strange village. The only part of the information he heard were legends from Dai Heming's mouth. There was no way to verify the authenticity of this part of the legend, and it could only be used as part of the inference.
On the empty highway, there were only a few cars driving at high speed, and the directions were surprisingly the same. Dai Heming observed for a while, and it seemed that these cars were not just traveling on the same road.
The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is vast and sparsely populated, and the direction of Changshou Village is even more remote. Under such circumstances, it is incredible to encounter so many traveling vehicles.
"Mr. Shen, something's wrong. Those cars seem to be following us." Dai Heming reminded him. His sense of smell was quite sharp, which made him feel an unusual risk.
"Yeah." Shen Lin responded without even looking back.
It was only a small distance, and those few cars were following so hard. It was either because they had ulterior motives or something else.
"Mr. Shen, what should we do? We seem to be being targeted." Dai Heming has never seen this scene before. It's a bit like an agent in an American blockbuster performing a mission. There are always a few tails following him. Thinking of Shen Lin's identity, this scene Let him be wary of the people in the cars behind him.
"It doesn't matter, just drive. Don't worry, they won't do anything until we get to the destination, and they won't let anything happen to us." Shen Lin closed his eyes and rested, paying no attention to everything behind him.
"Kill them?" Zhao Ziliang said, his hoarse voice full of murderous intent.
"You can't do it. It's hard to persuade the damn ghost. Since someone comes to our door to explore the way for us, we will give them this opportunity." Shen Lin sneered. ,
The danger of Fengmen Village and his party is unparalleled by any previous incident. No one knows what is in a ghost village that has been banned by the previous generation of ghost masters. In this case, someone is rushing to die. Shen Lin wants it. He just happens to It takes a few people who are not afraid of death to explore the way.
As for the ownership of those people behind, you can figure it out with your toes.
Moments, supernatural forums, major ghost control organizations, and even official people may be among them.
He went from being on the verge of recovery to now seeming to be completely unafraid of recovery. After he came back, he searched for news about Fengmen Village. It was impossible not to attract the attention of interested people.
This group of people suspected that they had some kind of method to suppress the evil ghosts. This method may be related to their actions to Fengmen Village. Now I am afraid that people from all walks of life are closely watching his whereabouts.
The overall construction of Changshou Village is still in the same situation as in the 1970s and 1980s. There are no young people in the village. Most of them have moved to nearby towns or big cities. What remains are some elders who are reluctant to abandon the old land. .
Shen Lin's most basic idea when searching for Fengmen Village was to drag the ghost mother from one place to another. When the ghost mother sensed the situation, it would be considered a work together.
This method is stupid and unreasonable, but it is the only way at this stage.
Wanting to visit every inch of land within a radius of fifty kilometers in fifteen days is almost a fantasy, so with the current scene, Shen Lin plans to ask Dai Heming to take him to meet the elders of Changshou Village. Since the legend comes from their mouths, then You can always get more clues.
The medium-sized pickup truck found a place to park in the village. The few people who were just about to leave were stopped by Shen Lin. He pointed to the closed rear compartment of the pickup truck and then pointed at Zhao Ziliang.
"You have to stay and watch this thing."
Zhao Ziliang's masked face was a little ugly. He was very dissatisfied with Shen Lin's random assignment.
"I'm not your subordinate. Besides, why should I trust you? You might find a reason to place me here to attract the attention of those idiots and escape by yourself."
"I don't have time to explain this to you. I'll give you two choices, either be obedient or get out now." Shen Lin looked a little cold. He was too lazy to explain all the intricacies. Zhao Ziliang's joining was an accident. He did not consider this variable in his original actions.
There was a golden coffin placed in the back compartment of the pickup truck. Inside the coffin was a ghost mother. He knew the terror of this evil ghost better than anyone else.
To put it bluntly, even if there was an accident during the trip to Fengmen Village, he would not allow any accidents to happen to the ghost mother.
The horror of this fierce ghost was unimaginable. In the past, he had only seen a glimpse of the ghost mother's abilities. If something unexpected happened, at this stage, the ghost mother would be almost invincible.
After Shen Lin finished speaking, he took Dai Heming and left, leaving Zhao Ziliang behind.
Whether the other party goes or stays has little effect on him. His ghost realm has been covering everything around him invisibly to prevent accidents. Zhao Ziliang is allowed to stay to prepare for emergencies.
Dai Heming took Shen Lin around and found an old man, whom the locals called Third Uncle.
This man is approaching a hundred years old and has a very high seniority. No one dares to call him by his name, only his third uncle. Even Dai Heming can only have children and grandchildren in front of him.
The old man is already old. His eyes are cloudy and have no focus. He cannot see many things clearly. He walks tremblingly, as if he will fall apart in the next moment.
"Third uncle! I have something to do with you!"
Dai Heming yelled at the top of his lungs. The old man's ears had not worked well a long time ago, and sometimes they were not working properly.
The third uncle didn't seem to hear, and looked at Dai Heming with his ears perked up, a little confused.
Dai Heming shouted a few more times, but to no avail. He looked at Shen Lin with a wry smile.
Fengmen Village is too old, and not many people in the village know about this. The most likely person is the third uncle in front of me.
Shen Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, a red light glowed in his eyes, and a strange power emitted from his body and enveloped the old man.
The power of the Upside Down Ghost can barely restore part of the old man in front of him, but it is only a part of it. No one knows how long it can last.
After the red light passed, the turbidity in the old man's eyes disappeared a bit, and he regained some of his clear energy. He looked at Shen Lin in front of him with a confused expression, as if he didn't understand when he got here and why there was someone standing in front of him.
"Old man, have you ever heard of Fengmen Village?"
The cloudy eyes of the third uncle in front of him suddenly focused, as if he had noticed something, and then a bit of madness appeared on his old bark-like cheeks, and he laughed in front of Shen Lin and others.
Being stimulated, Shen Lin's pupils shrank. The third uncle in front of him obviously knew something. The name of Fengmen Village made him react greatly.
The red light reappeared in his hand, and he tried to do something, but the crazy expression of the old man in front of him did not fade.
The Upside Down Ghost's abilities have no effect.
What exactly is this for?
Before Shen Lin could think clearly, he saw the third uncle in front of him trembling crazily, and he couldn't help but utter vague words mixed with dialects.
Shen Lin didn't understand and looked at Dai Heming.
Dai Heming carefully distinguished it for a long time before he heard part of it.
"The third uncle has been calling Fengmen Village, Changshou Village, and has been emphasizing that he is from Changshou Village, not Fengmen Village."
emphasize? Why the emphasis? Shen Lin was slightly shocked. He understood that the old man in front of him must know something.
Is it the power of the ghost pawnshop again? The first person he asked when he came to Changshou Village happened to know the clues about Fengmen Village. All these coincidences were too much. That ghost was affecting everything secretly, which made people shudder.
Shen Lin was thinking about the ambiguity of his third uncle's words. Why did he emphasize this?
Was he once from Fengmen Village? Moved to Changshou Village due to an accident?
The other party must know something, Shen Lin was extremely sure, but Li Gui's power was easy to kill, but it was difficult to save people, especially an old man who was about to die.
Things have reached a dead end, and there are only vague words that cannot be explained.
The only thing that was certain was that they were looking in the right direction, Fengmen Village was nearby.
Then Dai Heming and Shen Lin searched for several elders in succession but to no avail. Everything in Fengmen Village was confusing.
Shen Lin gritted his teeth. He could only hope that the third uncle would wake up a little in the past few days and ask him something. Before that, he could only use the stupid methods he imagined.
Wandering around with the ghost mother's golden coffin, if he is lucky and the key happens to match the keyhole of Fengmen Village, he may be lucky enough to unlock it all.
But the chances are slim.
After three consecutive days without any profit, Dai Heming and Shen Lin wandered around many places. The place was remote and there were no roads in some places, making it impossible to drive. This made their search extremely difficult.
There was no clue, but things got stuck at the last step, and a hint of irritation rose under Shen Lin's calm cheeks.
On the evening of the fourth day, when Shen Lin dragged his tired body into sleep, something seemed to be calling in his dream.
That was the third uncle's voice, lingering in Shen Lin's mind like gibbering.
He is from Changshou Village, not Fengmen Village, Changshou Village, Fengmen Village.
When the murmuring voice spread to its maximum in his mind, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky from the outside world, and Shen Lin woke up from his sleep.
It was like a flash of inspiration that opened up all the chaos in his mind.
Late at night, he called Zhao Ziliang, who was guarding the golden coffin, and the two of them headed out of the village.
