Chapter 753: The Demons Dance
Chu Huan laughed and asked, "Have you seen people from the village?"
The masked man said: "Actually, the people in the village moved away and someone nearby saw it. I happened to meet a few people and asked about it, but they also knew a little about it."
"Oh?" Chu Huan thought for a while and said, "I can set up a fire at any time. It's a bit cold outside. Are you willing to sit there? By the way, we still seem to have some dry food."
The masked man did not refuse. Chu Huan led the man back to the room where he was resting. Sun Zikong and others quickly lit the fire. The fire light lit up, and the man's mask could see even more clearly. Chu Huan saw that the left eye under his mask was really scarred. It was really just one eye, but the light of the other eye was very sharp.
"I don't know your surname?" Sitting down beside the fire, Chu Huan asked someone to pick up dry food and handed over it to the man. It was two cakes. The man was not polite and took it over and replied, "My surname is Qiu, you can call me Lao Qiu!"
"Qiu?" Chu Huanqi said, "This surname is really rare." He asked, "Did the villagers whom Brother Qiu saw say that the dog corpse on the tree was caused by ghosts?"
"Not bad." Lao Qiu, a masked man, nodded slightly, "According to their words, not long ago, many villages discovered incredible strange things."
"Strange thing?"
"Someone disappeared for no reason." Lao Qiu said: "At the beginning, there was a village where two or three people suddenly suffered from ghost nightmare..."
"Dare to ask Brother Qiu, how do you explain this ghost nightmare?"
"It's just a ghost possession." Lao Qiu said lightly: "Although you can walk, you don't speak, your eyes are unconscious. You do whatever others ask you to do, just like sleepwalking, and you won't close your eyes when you go to bed at night... In other words, they don't have to sleep."
Sun Zikong shivered, "Don't you have to sleep?"
Lao Qiu nodded and said, "No, those people didn't meet their eyes for three or four days, like walking corpses, without saying a word."
"What happened later?"
"If you can't rest, your body will naturally get worse every day." Lao Qiu said slowly: "Even so, those people still sleep day and night. There is no way in the village, and they all feel that they are being infected. Later, they found a Taoist priest. After seeing it, they said that they were suffering from ghost nightmare, and those people have evil ghosts in their bodies...!"
Chu Huan smiled faintly and did not speak.
"When the villagers heard this, they were naturally afraid and begged the Taoist priests to exorcise ghosts. The Taoist priest had already agreed, but when the Taoist priests set up the court, the villagers discovered that the men who were suffering from ghost nightmare had disappeared and lost their traces." Lao Qiu's voice was hoarse, and in the dark night, it was quite strange. "The villagers searched everywhere, and then a dead dog appeared in the village."
Chu Huan asked, "So they think dead dogs are related to ghosts?"
"The dogs in the village who came to see the house all died silently. The villagers only found that the dogs were missing at first, and soon found that the dogs in the village were hung on the treetops." Lao Qiu said: "It is said that the villagers specifically looked for Taoist priests to calculate this matter. After the Taoist priests calculated, they fled in a hurry. The villagers caught up with them. The Taoist priest claimed that it was caused by a resentful spirit."
"Those villagers believe these nonsense?" Chu Huan sneered.
"Why don't they believe it?" Lao Qiu said: "Those dog corpses hanging on the treetops are not something that humans can do. How can those who have been infected with ghost nightmare?" He took a bite of the cake. "After this incident, the same thing happened in other villages. People in the village were infected with ghost nightmare one after another, and then they soon disappeared. The villagers all said that those people were captured by ghosts... At first it was just a rumor, but later someone saw the ghost appear with his own eyes."
Chu Huan frowned.
"In another village not far from here, a villager was caught in the ghost night, and he stayed up day and night. Because other people who had been caught in the ghost night would soon disappear, this person's family was very careful and sent people to stay by the side day and night." Lao Qiu whispered: "That night, this person's wife kept staying by. When it was late at night, she heard a strange sound, and then saw that her husband actually got up from the bed and walked out of the door like a ghost..."
Sun Zikong felt furrows on his body and approached Ma Zheng. He felt a little unsafe. He couldn't help but hold Ma Zheng's hand. Ma Zheng couldn't help but look at him. Seeing Sun Zikong's eyes twitching, he knew he was afraid and let him grab his hand.
"The woman didn't know what happened and kept following her husband out of the house. Although she was afraid, she didn't dare to disturb her husband. According to the people here, if she woke him up while sleepwalking, his soul would leave her body. The woman only thought that her husband was sleepwalking and did not dare to disturb her. When she left the house, the woman saw that there was a shadow standing not far from her door. The shadow was dressed in black, and she held a white banner in her hand...!"
"White Banner?" Chu Huan was also a little surprised when he heard this strange scene.
"Yes, the black shadow held a white banner in his hand, which was the white banner inserted on the grave after the person died." Lao Qiu said calmly: "The woman was so scared that she almost fainted. She saw her husband approaching the ghost, and the ghost held a white banner in his hand and led the way. The man followed the ghost by a devil, walking further and further. The woman wanted to chase after him, but her feet were so scared that she could not move, and she couldn't even shout...!"
At this time, not only was Sun Zikong's face a little pale, but Ma Zheng and Liu Suifeng's eyes also showed a slight terrifying look.
"It was not until the next day that my family found that the woman was lying in front of the door. After waking up, the woman told everyone what she had witnessed. This matter soon spread throughout the village. The people in the village did not dare to stay there. When they moved out of the village, more than a dozen people had disappeared in the village...!" Lao Qiu also took off the water bag on his waist and took a sip. "This happened in several villages one after another. No one dared to live there, and they moved elsewhere...!"
There was silence inside the house, and the cold wind was gusts outside the house. After a while, Chu Huan asked, "Does Brother Qiu know who are the people who disappeared in the village?"
"Almost all men." Lao Qiu said: "It's just in his prime."
Chu Huan touched his chin and said, "If it was really a ghost, why did they only take away the males? Why didn't there be any accidents in the elderly, weak, women and children? According to common sense, the males in their prime have the most yang energy, even ghosts will be afraid of it. On the contrary, the ghosts can only invade the elderly, weak, women and children...!"
Lao Qiu stared at Chu Huan and asked, "Do you think there is something strange in the middle?"
Chu Huan thought for a while and said, "I'm just wondering why those ghosts suddenly appeared in various villages at this time, so why did they only take away the males?"
"I wonder if I have heard a word from my brother."
"What's the matter?"
"The world changes, and demons dance." Lao Qiu said: "When there are changes in the world, starvation is everywhere, blood is everywhere, the universe is dislocated, the world is dislocation, the sun is turbulent, the ghost gate of the Yin Realm will also open, and those evil ghosts in the underworld will also take advantage of this time to enter the Yang Realm from the Ghost Gate, and do evil in the living world, do whatever they want, and the demons dance in the living."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Brother, believe in such rumors?"
"It doesn't matter if I don't believe it." Lao Qiu said lightly: "But the people here have already believed it deeply. They have been circulated privately. The reason why ghosts appear in the world is because there are changes in the Great Qin Dynasty and the universe is dislocated. Today's emperors even the evil ghosts in the dark world are disobeying. They came out of the Ghost Gate to turmoil the Great Qin Dynasty. Only when the country changes its ownership and the Ghost Gate closes, will the demons fall into hell again...!"
"Absurd words are not worth refuting." Chu Huan sneered: "What kind of evil ghost in the dark world is nothing more than someone who wants to use this to cholera and shake the foundation of the country."
Lao Qiu said "Oh" and said, "So, you don't believe such rumors? Do you think all this is done by someone behind the scenes?"
"The treetop hook is naturally very unusual for ordinary people." Chu Huan said: "But not no one in the world can do it. Brother Qiu is a martial arts person. You should know that as long as you have good light skills, it is not very difficult to do that."
Lao Qiu nodded and said, "Although it is good, such light skills are rare. They require the most powerful masters of light skills. If it is really human-made, with their skills, they can do something bigger, why do they pretend to be a ghost and attack several villages? And the villagers are caught in ghost nightmare, how can they explain?" He took a sip of water, "It's easy for you to convince me, but those people may not believe you. Such rumors have begun to spread in Anyi Road. You must know that people's words are fearful, and guarding against the people's worries is more important than guarding against rivers. Once this opening is opened, it won't take long for the rumors to go wider. If there are still these bizarre things in Anyi, then the people will believe in the rumors of the demons and troubled times...!"
Chu Huan's eyebrows were locked. This matter looked strange and seemed to be nothing big. However, if these rumors spread everywhere, Anyi might be in turmoil.
The most important thing is that now Anyi's Huang family has rebelled, and Huang Tianyi has joined troops to confront the officers and soldiers. The power and influence of the Huang family in Anyi cannot easily disappear. If the Huang family uses such a message to encourage the people, the situation in Anyi will probably have a bigger change. Chu Huan turned his eyes out the window, and the night was dark and windy. He couldn't help thinking, what happened in these strange things in these villages is really Huang Tianyi sent people to pretend to be a ghost and bewitch the people's hearts, right?
"We can't even control this kind of thing." Chu Huan sighed and smiled, "Just hope we won't meet those ghosts. By the way, Brother Qiu is also running all the way, I don't know where to go?"
"Look for someone." Lao Qiu picked up the numb package beside him, "Look for a friend, I owe him something, and I want to find him and return the things to him." He got up, picked up the numb package, walked straight to the door, turned around, looked at Chu Huan, and saw that Chu Huan was also looking at him. The two of them looked at each other, without saying a word. Lao Qiu turned around, left the house, and disappeared into the darkness.
