Lao Cao thought for a moment and said.
"Then it's me, Xiao Wu, Xiao Yuan, and Brother Ni Yang. The four of us will go into the house to check. The others stay outside and wait carefully. If something escapes from the house later, we must intercept it. Yuan Brother Fei, you have to pay more attention."
Yuan Fei patted his chest.
"Brother Cao, don't worry! The door will definitely be guarded."
So, together with Lao Cao, we crossed the threshold of this dilapidated house and entered the dark main room.
The main room is not big, only about ten square meters.
There was dust all over the place and there were cobwebs on the tables, chairs and corners.
I took a few steps forward and approached the wooden table.
"There were bowls and chopsticks scattered on it, and there was some dark, shriveled material inside the bowl, which looked like unfinished meals. It was likely that the villagers were still having dinner when Daling Village sank into the ground. "
I spoke softly, thinking of the panic and fear of these ordinary villagers when danger comes.
Ni Yang pointed to the left and right sides.
"It's a very common layout of a village house. The left door should lead to the stove house and the backyard for raising various poultry and livestock, and the right door should lead to two or three bedrooms. Should we check them one by one together or separately?"
Lao Cao probably felt that the area of the house was not large to begin with, and the possibility of an extremely dangerous situation was very small, so he said that in order to save time, he acted separately.
"Xiao Wu, you and Ni Yang go to the bedrooms on the right. Xiao Yuan and I go to the backyard such as the kitchen house and the pig pen."
"good!"
I nodded, understanding that he arranged this because Madoka and I could communicate telepathically. This would make it easier for us to keep in touch if we were separated.
"Let's all pay attention to safety. We can't be careless and underestimate the enemy, otherwise the boat will capsize in the gutter."
Lao Cao warned again.
Madoka was hovering around his head, shouting impatiently.
"I know, I know, Old Man Cao is really verbose. Let's go, you can finish reading such a small broken house in half a minute."
After saying that, he took the lead and flew into the kitchen house.
I shrugged helplessly and turned right into the bedroom with Ni Yang.
According to rural rules, the second bedroom or guest bedroom should be close to the living room.
The feeling of coldness is even stronger here. You can see a wooden bed with a white mosquito net, a black and white TV set beside the bed, and an old-fashioned wooden stand...
These things are very similar to those in my home, and they were also common furnishings in the southwest rural areas of that era. It's usually very familiar, but seeing it in this weird village deep underground gave me a weird feeling.
"Brother Wu, there seems to be no problem with this room. Let's continue going inside?"
"Okay, listen to Brother Ni."
There is a small door in the corner of this bedroom, which should lead to other bedrooms - yes, privacy in rural areas is naturally not as good as in towns.
If you want to enter other bedrooms, you have to go through the front bedroom first. It's so magical.
I reached out and pushed the door open.
Crunch…
A sound that was so harsh that it made people's teeth hurt was heard.
It looked like the joints of the door were completely rusted and rotted.
The moment the door opened, a black shadow came towards me.
I had quick eyesight and quick hands. As I stepped back slightly, I punched out the talisman that had been prepared with my other hand.
"Fuhuo!"
boom.
The moment the talisman was released, it was directly ignited by Qi and turned into a ball of dazzling fire that flew out.
Ni Yang next to him also jumped back, and two clouds of smoke emerged from his sleeves and wrapped his hands. It seemed that it was some kind of "trick" technique.
But it was still a false alarm...
The talisman fire hit the black shadow directly, and only small sparks appeared, just like a piece of paper burning - this showed that it was not an evil creature. Otherwise, it will explode like a boiling oil pan!
"Well, it turned out to be a bunch of dried mugwort hanging on the door beam. It scared me."
Ni Yang was speechless.
In rural areas, it is customary to hang mugwort in front of the door. It is a custom and is said to repel mosquitoes and ward off evil spirits.
But as practitioners, we know very well that mugwort does have a certain effect in warding off evil spirits, but at most it can scare some of the most common wandering spirits...
Slightly more powerful sneakiness is actually of no use.
"This ghost place is really shocking."
As I said that, I pushed aside the dry mugwort on the door with my hands, stepped over the threshold and entered the back room.
As soon as I entered, I scanned the room with a strong flashlight, and a figure was directly illuminated on the bed in the corner!
Ni Yang and I immediately became alert again and took a closer look.
That's right!
There was indeed a figure sitting on the wooden bed, and dusty mosquito nets were hung around the bed. It was blurry to see through the mosquito net.
Ni Yang and I looked at each other. They all stopped talking and stood still, breathing much lighter.
He made a gesture, which should have told me to prepare for battle, and he would test it himself first!
fair enough.
I also want to see how this ancient Cai magician actually fights with evil spirits such as demons and ghosts. Somewhat curious.
Ni Yang gently raised his hands, and immediately gray clouds gurgled out from his wide sleeves, covering his hands.
Then he jerked forward!
Hooray!
There were actually two long ropes thrown out from his hands.
The flying shot flew over the two sides of the four-pillar wooden boat in front of it, wrapped around the wooden pillars, and then the rope automatically pulled towards both sides as if it were alive.
Bilikacha...
The pillars of the wooden bed were directly pulled and broken, and the mosquito net covering the bed was also torn in half from the middle and thrown to both sides.
As a result, the entire bed was left with only a bare bed board. Ni Yang and I also used a strong flashlight to clearly see the appearance of the "person" sitting on the bed with his back to us.
He...or rather it, had no clothes on, no hair on his head and body, and was completely naked. His whole body took on a strange pitch-black color.
The skin on his body was dry, like a mummy that had been buried underground for a long time.
The position of the scapula is high and convex, like some kind of osteosarcoma. There are many densely packed small holes in certain areas of the entire back, and something like mold or white fluff can be seen distributed near the holes.
It makes people feel numb and get goosebumps.
Even among the zombies, the thing in front of me can be considered disgusting and weird...
Ni Yang lowered his voice and said.
"This turtle thing is a bit evil! I've already made so much noise, but it's still sitting on the bed motionless."
He originally thought that he was taking the initiative and just removed the obstacles in the room that blocked his view - such as bed frames, mosquito nets and the like. This makes it easier for me to fight back immediately when that thing breaks out.
Unexpectedly, this zombie sat motionless on the bed.
I'm a little weird too.
At the same time, the situation here has been transmitted through thoughts and told to Madoka on the other side of the house in the kitchen room.
Then he whispered.
"Uncle Ni, we still have to be careful and don't let down our guard. Maybe this ghost is also waiting for the opportunity. As soon as we relax, it will launch a surprise attack."
"Don't worry, Brother Wu. Although I haven't experienced as many dangers and life-and-death fights as you, I still have basic experience."
Ni Yang replied.
When we invited guests to dinner before, we also talked about some of each other's experiences. He found it incredible that I had gone through so many dangerous battles at such a young age...
Perhaps, this is the "bad luck" inherent in my horoscope and destiny?
Ni Yang and I were on the left and right, preparing to go around the front of the corpse from both sides.
At this time, Lao Cao and Xiao Yuan also came to the door of this room. After winking at us, he blocked the door - this was to prevent the zombie from escaping later.
Finally, Ni Yang and I slowly came to the front of this weird corpse.
I saw a weird, weird face!
Dry and rotten, with distorted features. The face is covered with a short, black fluff-like substance, which is similar to the dense holes on the back. It looks like some kind of mycelium...
It can still be vaguely seen that this strange corpse should have been a middle-aged man before he was alive.
"Old Cao, just to be on the safe side, I'll tie it up with a few zombie charms first. Then you tie it up with your phoenix rope and take it outside the house to take a closer look at what's going on. Why did the villagers become Such a weird zombie."
I made suggestions.
If you want to find out the truth about Daling Village, you must see what the ghostly things turned into by these villagers' corpses...
It stands to reason that if the entire Daling Village was sunk into the ground by the [Visible Feng Shui Formation], the villagers would be suffocated or starved to death at most. That's it.
The Feng Shui formation itself will not turn these poor villagers into corpses.
There must be some other reasons and conspiracy!
"Okay Xiao Wu, I'm ready, you go ahead and do it."
Lao Cao patted the hemp rope around his waist at the door of the house opposite me.
So, I turned my hands over and found a corpse-suppressing charm between my fingers. Then he hit the corpse on the bed in front of him...
That is, at the moment when the two talismans just left my hand!
A sudden change occurred!
Just hearing a "boom", the nearby mud wall shattered, and a ferocious corpse jumped out from the wall.
The speed was astonishing, and it rushed towards me and Ni Yang next to me.
It was actually a sneak attack!
My heart was shocked.
"No! We had preconceived notions that there was only one corpse. It turns out there are two corpses hidden in this room!"
