Chapter 184 Little Ghost Country
An Ru didn't elaborate on how to deal with it. Now that her way out was gone, she was worried that something might happen to Xiaomi, so she left in a hurry, saying they would meet in the village later.
For a while, the old man Gui and I were the only ones left here.
Even a blind person can see that this old man doesn't like me at all, and even wishes that something would happen to me, so as not to disturb their peaceful life. When An Ru was here, he was somewhat restrained, which can be regarded as a favor to An Ru.
A somewhat thin-faced person, An Ru immediately showed his true colors as soon as he left. He slapped me hard on the shoulder with his withered ghost claws, which made me grin and grin. Then he said with a sinister smile that I was lucky and asked me to go with him.
How can I continue to hide it when people are so frank? I looked at the old ghost man frankly and said: "I know you don't like me. In fact, I don't like you very much either. This person is on stage in this drama today."
There are too many. If we were the only two in this old forest, you would surely come up and hit me from behind, and I would not be stingy in using my strength to kill you."
The ghost old man's tattered face was twitching, and his eyes were gouging out at me. If his gaze could be used as a blade, I'm afraid I would have been cut into pieces by a thousand knives.
I saw that the old man was on the verge of going berserk, so I stopped using words to provoke him. Although there were still many vicious words in my belly, I put the overall situation first and endured it. It was very uncomfortable.
Changing the topic, he said: "However, considering that we are now on the same level as grasshoppers, even if it is for An Ru and Xiaomi, you have to pinch your nose and tolerate me.
As a friend, I think I should have some right to know now.
At least it can avoid any further estrangement or misunderstanding between us. After all, the distance between yin and yang is already very far. If we continue to look at each other silently and remain silent, it will be difficult for us to achieve sincere cooperation.
Anyway, we still have a long way to go back. We have plenty of time to talk about these things. We are not afraid of not being able to explain clearly. If you are not good at talking, how about I start first?
For example, tell me what are these things in the woods? Where do they come from?"
The old man's anger subsided and he fell silent. He opened his mouth several times and swallowed the words silently. It seemed that the complexity of the matter was beyond imagination and he needed time to sort out his words. Finally, he raised his arm.
, pointing to the way home, meaning talking while walking.
I held my stomach and stood up with difficulty. Those medicinal powders from Anru had some strange effects. At this time, the wound had stopped bleeding. There was no suture, but the flesh was stuck together, as if it was glued, but the wound ached slightly.
, you have to arch something when walking, otherwise the wound will be pulled.
After a long time, the old man sighed and said with some sadness that the things in the forest were actually the villagers of Heixiazigou...
I raised my eyebrows. I was not surprised by this result. I even said that I had already guessed it.
"After they died, they gathered in groups to build a small ghost kingdom."
The old man looked a little confused when he talked about this strange thing.
There are about a hundred or so villagers in Heixiaizigou. It is not a big village. There used to be a gangster in the village named Ma Liuzhi. He usually did not do his job and was very brave. He used to gamble in the provincial capital and was cheated by a prankster.
He had four fingers chopped off by someone, so he got such a nickname. The villagers were also afraid of him. Even if such a person became a ghost, he was not a good ghost, especially if he escaped from human beings.
After those rules and regulations in the world, they became even more ruthless and extremely powerful, subduing the other villagers' evil beings.
This Ma Liuzhi has no culture, and I don’t know where I heard it. Ghosts can also build a country. There was a ghost country before. They roamed around in the world of living people and ate human beings. They lived a very beautiful life. Regarding this
He was so fascinated that he established a little ghost country based on Heixiazigou, and led the villagers to live a good life with everyone to eat. Although he never left Heixiazigou in the end, the brainwashing work has not stopped.
, I feel very good about myself. I often compare myself to Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, saying that Liu Bang was just a ruffian before. He killed the White Snake and revolted and took over the world. I have to have confidence in him. He calls himself the Emperor of the Holy Ghost Kingdom and the King of Perfect Ghosts.
He made Widow Li the queen, and the second girl from the next door family became the concubine, the military marshal and so on. Anyway, there are about a hundred people in Heixiazigou who all have official positions.
"If you really think about it, he even gave me an official title at that time and made me the Grand Governor..."
The old man hung his head in shame.
I was so shocked on the outside and so tender on the inside that I really couldn’t imagine the image of this man ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.
"However, ghosts can indeed build a country!"
The old man rarely became serious: "A long time ago, there was a ghost country in the north. It fought for years and invaded the south. It has been recorded in history. Ma Liuzhi is not talking nonsense. It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability."
The old man felt quite sorry for this, as if being a ghost was a promising thing.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. People are humane, and ghosts have their own ways. The best destination after death is to go down there and be reincarnated honestly. How can there be any ghosts building a country on earth? If they really make a fuss, I'm afraid the Yin soldiers will have destroyed this place.
The reason why I have been struggling so far is because of the creation of a powerful thing, which creates evil in the surrounding area and obscures the secrets of heaven. Even so, it really involves human lives and will sooner or later cause the destruction of practitioners in the world. Taoist priests like my master like to do this the most.
Something happened...
The old man saw that I looked weird and actually started arguing with me. He couldn't tell the truth. Most of them were just some weird legends, which really didn't amount to much evidence.
However, after listening for a long time, I finally got some flavor.
What he said...he seemed to be a ghost!
This was a nomadic nation that lived in the north during the pre-Qin period. It was once very powerful and repeatedly invaded the Central Plains during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It was the biggest nightmare for the Central Plains at that time.
However, Guifang only has the word ghost in his name and has nothing to do with the dead!
When I looked at the old man, I suddenly felt a little pitiful. I didn't want to argue with him on this issue, so I interrupted him directly: "According to what you said, the most powerful master in this place is this Ma Liuzhi."
?But, how could he, a bully who runs rampant in the countryside all day long, suffer any injustice? This place is round and evil. This must be a change caused by the appearance of something with a strong resentment. If he did not suffer any injustice during his lifetime, he would never suffer any injustice after his death.
It’s impossible to have such resentment. Forgive me for being shallow, I really can’t think of any wrongdoing for a villain. It seems like he deserves whatever kind of retribution he suffers!”
"He has no wrongdoing..."
The old man shook his head and sighed softly: "Actually, at the beginning, he was just like everyone else, he just turned into a ghost after death. It's just that he was ferocious and feared during his life, and this residual power spread until after death.
, it was through his fierce power in life that he subdued the others and became the leader. Later... I don’t know what he found in the Three Temples. Since then, he has been hiding in the Three Temples and refused to come out.
, sleeps most of the time, and every New Year, he asks us to prepare tributes. In the past, the tributes he asked for were some birds and animals, but this year... he suddenly asked for people!!
It was only after he got into the three temples that he suddenly became more powerful!"
"What kind of place is this Three Temples?"
I hesitated for a moment and said: "So, you, Xiaomi, and Anru have always been excluded from Ma Liuzhi's circle, right? Everyone is near the Three Temples, but you live alone in the village.
In previous years, my hunter prepared animal sacrifices for me, but this year I had no choice but to prepare people. It was for this reason that An Ru left here, and then met me. Seeing that I was half dead, I simply brought him back to life and gave him as a sacrifice.
Give Ma Liu a thumbs up to them?"
The old man lowered his head, acquiescing to the matter, and after a long time, he talked about the three temples.
It is just an ancient temple. It has been built in the mountains for many years. Every spring plowing and autumn harvest, or on important occasions, the villagers of Heixiazigou will go to the Three Temples to worship. Some people say that there are three temples under the Three Temples.
There was something incredible inside a secret door, and it was only after Ma Liuzhi got that thing that he became a veritable ghost king.
Probably, the method An Ru mentioned to deal with Ma Liuzhi refers to something like that!
There are some things I didn't tell the old man. For example, they are most likely descendants of the Ran tribe who ran away back then. The three temples are the best proof!!
The Ran clan is related to the ancient Shu Kingdom. Because it is so far away from the present, it is very mysterious. It may have some extraordinary methods. When some stubborn Ran clan members fled, it was very likely that they brought out some extraordinary objects.
After thinking about it, I felt that the reason why Ma Liuzhi suddenly became so powerful could only be related to this.
That three temples may have some secrets!
It's a pity that the old man only visited it while he was alive, that is, to worship and kowtow to the shrine inside. After his death, he didn't even have the chance to go in, and there was no chance to seriously explore at all. He couldn't tell the truth about the situation inside.
After all, this all happens after a person dies.
I had some thoughts and many doubts in my mind, so I asked: "Why did an entire village die? Moreover, looking at the situation in those dilapidated houses, they all encountered emergencies and fled in one piece.
! And An Ru... why is she in such a strange state? She looks almost like a living person? "
"If you do evil by God, you can still live; if you do evil by yourself, you can't live!"
The old man sighed softly. When I asked about this, a trace of pain clearly flashed in his eyes...
