Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

We were in a trance when we suddenly felt that someone was dragging me from behind. I was startled and took a few steps back one after another. I turned my head and saw that it was Tian Muqing who dragged me and Cheeky Skin back to the Nuo Palace. Tian Muqing said anxiously: "Can't you see that it's not human?" Cheeky and I regained consciousness at this time, remembering that we were going to follow the woman's head into the fog just now, and we didn't know that we would be led to where we were by it, our hairs stood on end. Cheeky as if facing a formidable enemy, he stared at the door of the palace with a gun, and said, "The little girl is not bad, but why does she only have one head?"

I said: "There is a neck under the head. I didn't see anything under the neck. This village with no living people for thousands of years came out with such a smiling woman's head. We lost our hearts and followed it? " Tian Muqing said: "You two walked over straight, I couldn't stop it, thanks to dragging you back." Cheeky said: "I saw him lewdly following that woman, I was afraid that he would play a hooligan, so I went over to stop him." I said, "You drool all over the place yourself, how dare you criticize me?" He said cheekily: "I have always regarded losing money as taking advantage of it. I won't be hypocritical with you. You can smear it as you like."

Tian Muqing said: "You two don't talk about each other, you must be fascinated by ghosts." I said, "It's not a ghost, maybe it's a lantern with a human head..." Cheeky and curious: "That woman's head is a lantern? Doesn't she have a neck?" I said: "I heard from the blind man before that when someone walks in the middle of the night and sees the head of a beautiful woman in the barren mountains and ridges, as long as he follows him, he will never come back, because behind that peach-like face, there are other people. Something, maybe some old monster picked up a human head with a long pole, like a lantern, and lured people into the grave to eat."

In fact, I can't remember when I heard such a legend about the lantern with a human head. Anyway, in the past years, most people went to bed early, especially in winter, when the days were short and cold. Every household closes the door and goes to bed. One is to warm up in the quilt in the cold weather. The other is to light a lamp and boil oil. Oil is money. Lighting uses electricity, and electricity is also money. If you don’t have enough to eat, go to bed early to save energy, and you won’t know you’re hungry when you fall asleep, and you can save food.Young people are full of energy and can’t sleep after dark. They only talk to old men and women about the ancient scriptures. Ghost stories, the scarier they are, the more willing they are to listen to them. After listening to them, you have to ask: "Is this true?"

Cheeky had heard similar things before, he nodded again and again: "The thing outside the temple gate must be a lantern with a human head!" Tian Muqing pondered: "I see that woman winking, she doesn't look like a dead head on a pole." I said: "Never mind what it is, the eyes of that woman's head can hook the soul away, let's never look at her eyes." The three of us wanted to go to the sacrificial pit on the west side of the village, but at this moment we were scared and dared not go out of the Nuo King’s Hall. However, the sacrificial pit was surrounded by ancient wood wolf forests, and we could not guarantee that we would not get lost when we walked there. As well as the Shinto in front of the Nuo King’s Hall in the west of the village, there are only two roads. Looking at the paintings in the murals, there are many unicorns and evil spirits on both sides of the Shinto, which are auspicious beasts shaped like lions. , must be carved into pairs of stones, standing on both sides of the Shinto, some unicorns have two horns, some have single horns, what is said in them, I don’t know much, I didn’t pay attention before, but there are evil spirits on the side of the road Even if the stone beast is covered with chaotic grass and dust, it is not difficult to find the divine way. The only way in front of you, where else can you go?

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a moving laugh, and the beauty's face appeared outside the palace gate again, but he still couldn't see her body. The cheeky man didn't dare to look too much, he hastily raised the earthen shotgun and fired it twice, "bang bang". Before the gunpowder smoke cleared, the woman's head had disappeared in the mist, and there was no movement outside. With a total of four rounds of ammunition left, he cheekily emptied the chamber and dropped the earthen shotgun on the ground. I handed him my earthen gun, grabbed the shovel to defend myself, and asked, "Did you hit it?"

Cheeky shook his head and said he didn't see it clearly, but the distance was so close and the area covered by the bullets was so large that it was difficult for the gods to hide from a wisp of smoke. I said: "Let's go and have a look first, but don't step out of the gate of the Nuo Palace." Cheeky immediately raised his gun, and bravely moved forward a few steps. I asked Tian Muqing to stay there, lit a torch and followed, stood at the gate of the hall and looked out, there was no blood on the ground, and the fog was thick outside, so I couldn't see anything. I suddenly felt a noise above my head, and when I looked up, I saw the woman's head above the temple door, looking down at us. The temple door was so high that no matter how long its neck was, it couldn't reach that place.

Cheeky and I were astonished, we exchanged glances with that woman, only to see the winking eyes, suddenly feel confused and at a loss what to do. At the same time, the wind was blowing everywhere, and a strong smell of blood came from outside the temple door, accompanied by miserable groans, as if many hungry ghosts had come to the door. I smelled the stench of blood, and I immediately understood in my heart. I used my hands and feet, and tried my best to avoid it, but the beautiful woman seemed reluctant, stretched her neck, and wanted to follow in from outside the palace gate. Tian Muqing exclaimed: "Quickly close the palace door!"

Cheeky Ji Lingling and I shuddered, and hastily closed the two hall doors on the left and right, and the beauty's head protruding from the fog was blocked outside the Nuo King's Hall. The door of the hall is carved wooden boards. As for whether it can block the things outside, we are not sure. After several minutes of nervousness, there is no movement outside the hall, but the smell of blood can still be smelled. He said cheekily, "Why is the smell of blood so heavy outside?" I said: "The woman outside the temple gate not only has a head, there must be something else behind her!"

Cheeky and appalled, he said, "Like the lantern with a human head you said?" I said: "I don't know, I dare not go out to see, that woman's head can bewitching, let her take a look, and followed her away without knowing it." Thick-skinned said: "That's because you're too lustful, what's so good about a woman's head, you're such an idiot who has never seen the world, but don't tell me, I..." Thinking of the appearance of the lantern with a human head, he also felt as if he had lost his mind. Like a ghost, I can't help but want to go out and have a look.

I grabbed my thick skin and told him to try to think about other things and stop thinking about the woman's head, otherwise he would be unable to control himself, and his life would be gone if he walked out of the palace gate, but the palace of Nuo King was dark, and the outside was so quiet Surprisingly, not only was there no living person in the village, but also the mournful cries of autumn insects could not be heard. Standing here, the woman's face came to mind whenever he thought about it. Scratching his head cheekily, he said, "What are you thinking about? If you don't think about that head, you won't be able to think about anything serious. If you close your eyes, you'll be roasted duck." I said: "That's right, I'm hungry too, but when people are hungry, they want to eat greasy food. You think you're starving, and you're eating roast duck. Thin slices of roasted duck in oil, spread evenly with sweet noodle sauce, put a few shredded green onions, the oil will flow down the corner of the mouth when you bite, and then a bowl of millet porridge, will you satisfy your cravings?" Cheeky closed his eyes and imagined, nodded and said: "You understand me so well, eating like this is just what I want..." I said: "Roast duck is delicious. First of all, the duck is good. The top is the Nanjing white-eyed duck. This kind of duck is grown from the rice transported by water. The second is the condiment and the heat. It is coated with secret ingredients and roasted in the oven. You must master it when roasting." When the heat is low, it will be raw, and if it is too hot, it will be dark. The duck should be reddish brown when roasted, bright and shiny, with crispy skin and tender meat. The furnace uses an open fire to burn fruit trees such as jujube wood, and the stew furnace uses a dark fire to burn stalks. The roasted duck has a unique aroma. Ah, I haven’t eaten two or three times in total.” He said cheekily: "As long as you don't die in this village, you can go out and make a fortune and eat whatever you want. You can count the ones flying in the sky, the ones running underground, the ones swimming in the water, the ones jumping in the grass..." The two of us thought about eating roast duck out of thin air for a while. Although we were even more hungry and even swallowed saliva, our minds were cleared up a lot. It can be seen that food and sex are also sexual. Food is in front of sex, and only when you are warm can you think about lust. When you can think of food, sex comes next. The hall was dark and foggy, Tian Muqing was far away, so she couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but she also knew the danger. Seeing that Cheeky and I had calmed down, she felt relieved and said, "Why doesn't that woman with only a head come in?" This hall?" I said: "It's a little strange. The walls of the Nuo King's Hall are strong, but the wooden door with carved patterns is broken. Could there be something to ward off evil spirits in the hall? But it's not right, the woman has already stuck her head into the hall, but she wants to Let's lure them outside, according to common sense, where the head can go, the body can also go in, not to mention that the gate of the temple is so wide, unless the body behind the head is very big, there is no way to enter the hall." Tian Muqing said: "There has been no noise outside the hall for so long, have you already left?" Thick-skinned remembering the situation just now, he shuddered and said: "Don't go out, that little girl's face is not to be seen. A shy man like me will lose his soul when he sees her. Maybe it's the villager. The vixen in the cemetery has changed." The three of us didn't dare to look outside the hall for a while, and listened to the movement outside, but there was no sound outside the hall gate. Cheeky whispered: "It seems that I really left..." Before the words fell, we heard a woman sobbing softly, coming in from outside the temple door, piercing into people's ears, crying sadly and plaintively, we heard it in our ears, as if a big stone was pressed on our chest, we couldn't breathe, Busily pressing his ears, the crying became quieter, but it was still uncomfortable. After a while, the crying like a ghost gradually faded away, and the dead silence returned outside the hall. We waited for quite a while, and we didn't hear any movement, so we let go of our gripping hearts. I winked at Cheeky, and the two of us moved closer to the gap in the hall door, and looked outside for a long time, and saw that there was no abnormality. I just want to open the door of the temple, and take this opportunity to go to the sacrificial pit as soon as possible. Being trapped in this ghostly village is not the end after all. As soon as I pulled the door to a crack, I suddenly smelled the smell of blood outside. I was startled, and realized that the woman's head was still outside, so I hurriedly closed the door, and was about to put down the latch when I heard a thud. , the door of the palace was knocked open from the outside to the inside. Amidst the creepy laughter, the woman's head protruded into the hall from the fog. Meat with the skin removed. I hastily waved the torch to hit her on the head. Taking advantage of the woman's head dodging back cheekily, I quickly closed the door of the hall, and at the same time lowered the door bolt. The Nuo King's Hall was silent from inside to outside, and I could only hear my own rapid heartbeat. Cheeky and stunned, he said, "Did you see that woman's neck?" I saw it, but I didn't know what kind of ghost it was. The woman stuck her head out of the fog, and she couldn't see her body. But after reading the records on the stone tablet, "Nuo" means to be trapped. The big cave under the village seems to lead to the underworld, and Daluo Jinxian can't even think about coming out of the cave. Is that woman from the village? I looked at Tian Muqing and saw her panicked expression, she didn't seem to know anything, I was afraid that the palace door would be knocked open at any time, so I had no time to look at it, I thought the palace gate was just an ordinary wooden board that had been carved, but now I touched it and realized The wood is thick and compact, and the wood of that year was obviously soaked in oil, so it is not afraid of flooding and fire, and it will last for a long time. There was no sound outside the hall, and I was afraid that other places would be unstable. I held up a torch and looked carefully at the structure of the Nuo King Hall. I saw that the hall was about seven rooms wide and two rooms deep. Using the ancient construction method of oblique braces and beam squares, six pillars are on the ground, the bucket arches are staggered under the eaves, the palace gate is carved with Linghua animal patterns, and the purlins, beams and citrons are all connected with tenons and mortises. They bite each other and are as stable as a rock. , the structure is rigorous, but there are a few collapsed and damaged corners and ridges of the hall. Although the other places are old, they are still stable. Thanks to the strong door of the hall and the door bolts, things outside the hall cannot enter for a while. . There is still no movement outside the hall, and we dare not open the door of the hall again. We intend to back out from the original road of the secret road under the village. That road can lead to the stone tablet, and then what should we do? At this moment, the smell of blood became heavier. The stench of blood made people feel nauseous even when the palace door was closed. Suddenly, two hands were pushed and scratched on the door panel. The palace door was pushed and creaked. The sound of scratching wood was even more terrifying. The three of us looked blankly at each other, we only saw the woman's head coming out of the mist earlier, I dare say there are hands, is it a zombie? It is said that zombies are different. The water and soil in Guanzhong are deep, and the dead are buried in the grave. Not only the corpse is immortal, but the nails and hair will continue to grow. People everywhere will ask Mr. Yin and Yang to point to the grave, point to where to dig, no matter whose family’s grave, dig the grave, beat the zombie in the coffin with a whip, and then burn it on the fire; Death, the so-called resentment is the soul of a person, and when he dies in the cloudy year and the moon, the corpse will jump up and attack people; sometimes the dead body is held by the old ghosts in the cemetery, such as foxes and weasels, they attach themselves to the dead body and cause trouble Scary, forcing the scared people to take out fat chicken and wine to worship, but after death, the face is stiff, even if it is a walking dead, it will never have the slightest expression, and the sound from the mouth is no different from a night owl. It's nothing, old tomb robbers can deal with it with black donkey's hooves and firework gourds, but there is a folk saying that if the deceased is a woman, she has been wronged during her lifetime and cannot avenge her, and her family is ordered to let her wear it after her death. Dressed in red, with a black wooden comb in his mouth, lying face down in the coffin, buried in the grave like this, not only is a walking corpse, but also can call back the ghosts and strangle the enemies one by one. Only such zombies have faces. Smile, but laughing is worse than crying, whoever bumps into it will not want to live.This kind of thing is easy to say, not difficult to say, and there are many ways to say it. I heard the blind man say a lot about zombies eating people. I was thinking about these terrible thoughts, and I heard that the number of hands pushing and scratching the door of the temple was gradually increasing. We couldn't see the situation outside the temple, but there were at least a hundred hands from the sound, and I don't know where it came from. It also seems that there is a giant centipede crawling on the wooden door. Thanks to the solid wood of the palace door and the carved part embedded with copper ornaments, although the sound of fingers and claws scratching the door is endless, it cannot break in. I was terrified, wondering if a good man would not suffer the immediate loss, when would I wait if I didn't leave now, I was about to call thick-skinned He Tian Muqing, and was about to retreat into the secret passage of His Highness Nuo Wang with a big cigarette dish. Unexpectedly, although the gate of the temple is strong, we have neglected the wooden bar to fasten the gate. The wooden stick is thick enough, but it is ordinary wood. Hearing a bang, the door bolt was knocked into two pieces, the broken wooden stick fell to the ground, and the temple door opened in response, I could only feel the smell of blood rushing to my face, and amidst the gloomy clouds and mist, the woman's head stuck into King Nuo's mouth. I opened my mouth and blew a gust of wind towards the torch in my hand. The door of the hall was wide open, and the smell of blood was so disgusting, I was afraid that the torch would be blown out by the gust of evil wind, so I hurriedly hid beside it. Cheeky hurriedly picked up the earthen gun, and before he could point the gun at the head in front of him, that head had already turned aside, which was unexpectedly fast, and it was too late to close the palace door. Tian Muqing was relatively calm before, but when she saw the woman's head from behind, her face was ashen, and she was so shocked that she took several steps back. I was also so frightened that my hands and feet went weak. This beauty's head is very attractive, and there are all kinds of charms in her eyes. The two eyes can almost seduce people's souls, but her neck is redder than a pig's liver, as if she has just been killed. It looks like peeling off the skin, and what's even more strange is that the neck becomes thicker as it goes to the back. It has a strong blood smell, but it looks like a bright red tongue with a human head growing out of the tip. I think it is really a tongue. How big would this thing's mouth be? I was horrified at the thought, and backed away involuntarily, but it was too late, then soon, the woman's head fell in mid-air, and it was in front of us in a blink of an eye. I held the torch in my hand and stabbed that face, how could I know that The woman's head suddenly opened its mouth and bit the torch. I was thrown out by it. I let it be driven by the strange force, my feet were unstable, and I fell to the ground on my back. I couldn't help being flustered, remembering what I had just told Tian Muqing and Cheeky about the lantern with a human head, but the lantern with a human head was not on the pole, but It grows from the tongue of the ghost outside the temple. It was dark all around, I couldn’t see anything with my eyes open, and my heart was even more flustered. After I fell to the ground, I hurriedly took out the flashlight and pushed the switch. roll over. I turned over to avoid it, and felt a fleshy, cold mass with barbs brushing against my body, and almost fainted from the bloody smell. If there was nothing in my stomach, I would have died at that time. Gotta puke it all out. At this moment, the thick-skinned man next to him came back to his senses, before he could shoot, he reversed the butt of the gun and smashed it down hard. The tongue protruding from the door of the palace just flipped back, and knocked him away seven or eight steps heavily, with his forehead on the right. It bumped against the corner of the palace pillar, the impact was really hard, blood flowed all over his face immediately, he didn't wipe it off, let the blood flow down, he jumped up amidst the sound of shouting and cursing, but his eyes were dark and his earthen gun didn't know what to do. Where did it fall, he pulled out the pickaxe, rushed forward and swung it like a mad tiger. Seeing this situation, I don't know where I got a burst of strength, jumped up from the ground, and slashed horizontally and vertically with the shovel. Most of the long tongue is outside the hall, extending to the middle of the Nuo King's hall to the limit, the door of the hall creaked, the dust on the roof of the hall kept falling, and the wall of the hall was about to collapse. Lying motionlessly near the gate of the palace, if Cheeky and I took the opportunity to hide inside, it would not be difficult to protect ourselves for the time being, but we couldn't just leave the cigarette dish behind. I couldn't move, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and hold on, and it lasted for a while. I wanted to tell Tian Muqing to drag the big cigarette dish in, but the situation was urgent, and there was no room for breathing, so I couldn't speak. Hearing the weird laughter of the woman on the tip of her tongue, she was moving back and forth in the dark hall, her whereabouts were like ghosts, erratic up and down, back and forth, not to mention that there was no gun at this time, even if there was a gun in hand, she would not be able to hit it it. The thick-skinned face was covered with blood, splashing drop by drop on the ground, but he didn't care about it. His whole body was bulging, and he swung the mountain pick desperately, making his sex, whistling, and wishing he could nail the tongue to the ground with the pick , but in the palace of the Nuo King, there are no lights and no lights. He has both arms and brute force, and he can't touch the other party. He almost turned me down several times, but he missed it. Going to a depth of more than half a foot, he stepped on the pillar of the temple, and pulled it out through gritted teeth, but the pick was sunk too deep in the pillar, no matter how hard he tried, he exerted all his strength, but he couldn't pull it out in a hurry. . I saw the thick-skinned man with the tongue curled up in front of the pillar, and hurriedly swiped the shovel to chop off the woman's head on the tip of the tongue. Unexpectedly, the other party's momentum suddenly changed, and I didn't even see it clearly. Coiled, unable to move her hands and feet, the woman's head came around in front of me, face to face with mine, giggling and laughing repeatedly, at this moment, she looked extremely hideous, and the stench was even more disgusting. I tried my best to avoid it, but my hands and feet were all entangled, and I couldn't move. It was too close, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like a living person's face. I was so anxious that the veins on my forehead throbbed, and only my head could move in my whole body. I shouted: "Eat me!" I opened my mouth and bit the woman's face. . I opened my mouth to bite the head of the woman who was approaching, suddenly a blue light flashed, the human head on the tip of the tongue shook twice and fell to the ground, the facial features on the beautiful face were distorted, eyes stared, twitched a few times and then He stopped moving, and his cheeks collapsed in an instant, showing a rotten appearance. The tongue seemed to be in unbearable pain, and I shrank back suddenly. I only felt my body loosen, and I fell to the ground, my whole body was about to be broken. It turned out that when Tian Muqing saw the woman's head, she was scared and hid behind the pillars. Seeing that we were dying in an instant, she was eager to save people. In her haste, she grasped the ancient bronze sword she found in the stone room, and slashed at us. Wrapped around my tongue, although this sword was not strong enough to break a dragon, it was extremely sharp, and cut off that human head with one blow. I said I was ashamed, and let her save my life again. Hearing that there was no movement outside the gate of the temple, I endured the pain and picked up the flashlight. At this time, I was cheeky and pulled out the mountain pick from the pillars of the temple. The three of them left before the gate of hell Once, a trembling feeling of extreme fear spread all over the body, and he was silent for a long time, only to see the ground full of rotten blood, all the severed bodies and limbs of the dead, and a large pile of corpses outside the hall, and the white mist nearby turned blood red. Tian Muqing and I covered the wound on our head with Cheeky Skin. Seeing that the blood mist at the gate of the temple was still lingering, we couldn’t help being horrified. We knew that there was no safe corner in the village, but no one wanted to stay in Nuo where there were rotting corpses all over the place. Wang Dian. Thick-skinned to pick up the earthen shotgun, I carried the big cigarette dish on my back, Tian Muqing flashlighted, and hurried towards the west of the village, but saw that Qiangu Yidi Village was surrounded by Xuangong Mountain, and most of the dwellings were old stone kilns. Distributed according to the slope of the hill, the inside is whitewashed with fine lime mortar, and the roof is covered with tiles. There are countless houses in the village, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The villagers believe in a mysterious religion that has been passed down for two thousand years. They are surrounded by rammed earth walls to defend against foreign enemies. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an ancient city. Most of the houses in the west of the village have not been damaged. The traces of the house, the undulating outline of the house appeared in the thick fog. Although the withered vegetation, the smell of corpses and the bones everywhere all indicate that this place is empty, somehow, there is always an illusion that people are still living, maybe not It is not an illusion, but can feel that the ghosts of those dead people are still wandering in the village. As I walked, I asked Tian Muqing, why were you so surprised when you saw that woman's head? Tian Muqing didn't hide anything from us anymore, she said: "Back then, the villagers wanted to beat the earth dragon seeds into the ghost square, but an accident occurred during the ceremony of sending the ghosts of the grand Nuo, which caused the whole village to be wiped out. It was all because of this woman. .” I was secretly surprised: "It seems that the grievances of many dead people have gathered into a monster. A beautiful head grows out of its tongue. It is more beautiful than a vixen. It is tempting to walk into its mouth and eat it. Could it be that the woman used to live in this village?" people?" Tian Muqing nodded and said, "It's the Nuo woman in this village." Cheeky and I were very surprised when we heard the words, the head looked like a young woman with a beautiful face, why was she still a Nuo woman? Tian Muqing said: "In the Nuo religion, there are Nuo Gong and Nuo Po, who are equivalent to the gods and gods, regardless of age, and their status is not very high." Back then, Feng Yiren ate earth dragon seeds by mistake, and his appearance had not changed for decades. When the people in the village found out that he had already turned into a walking corpse, they designed to capture him in the Nuo Wang Palace, ripped open his stomach, and tried to take out the earth dragon from his belly. Who knew that Tu Longzi had merged with Feng Yiren, not only did not destroy Tu Longzi, but many people died in the village, so they had to be buried in Xuangong Mountain, built a temple to worship the gods, and gave away boys and girls every year. Together with five oxen and white horses, it is used to sacrifice the unjust soul of Tu Longzi, waiting for the opportunity in secret to drive the unjust soul and body of Tu Longzi into the sacrificial pit together. But at that time the village was divided into two factions, one faction worshiped the Nuo god and worshiped the Nuo king, and acted according to the ancestral system that had existed since ancient times. Seeing that Feng Yiren ate the god meat of earth dragon son and lived forever, but he worshiped the Nuo god all his life, but he still had to endure the misery of life and death, and could not get any benefit, so he became ambivalent and wanted to revive earth dragon son . These people are headed by Nuo Po. They learned that on the thirteenth day of July in the first year of Tianbao, there will be a black dog eating the moon. At that time, the gate under the village will be opened. In the afternoon, taking advantage of the midway of the Nuo ceremony, the Nuo woman led more than 300 people to rebel. They first went to the Nuo temple to destroy the statues, and then went to the village to kill the Nuo king. In the chaos, the little girl hid in the stone room at the back of the temple. Although she was spared from the bloody disaster at that time, she was unable to push the door of the stone room to come out due to her weakness, and was trapped to death. There were not many people who accompanied the Nuo woman to rebel, and the rebellion was impromptu, and there were many omissions in the arrangement. How could such a big event be done?In the end, half of them were killed, and half of them were captured. The Nuo king was furious. According to the canon, those who apostate must be executed. All the captives were dismembered and tortured. Young and old, tied to a wooden frame together, stripped off their clothes in front of the whole village, and gouged out the flesh from their bodies with sharp clam shells. On this day, the blood flowed into rivers in Qiangu Yidi Village, and the screams and wailings touched the world . I felt chills when I heard it, and thought that although the clam shell was sharp, it was no better than a knife, what would it feel like to use it to cut off the flesh of the whole body? However, the Nuo religion has worshiped the Nuo god since ancient times. Those who oppose the religion dare to destroy the Nuo temple. Of course, they will not have a good result if they fail. Tian Muqing said that Nuo Po was cut into pieces in the village that day, her whole body was mutilated, and she died immediately. At Shichen, only the heads were left, and those who were dismembered and executed were all thrown into the ditch in front of the grave in the east of the village. Due to this accident, when the black dog ate the moon, the village fell into the ghost square, and all the villagers became sacrifices. The "meat mound" has no hands, no feet, and only one big mouth. It sticks out its tongue, and lures the people who have entered the village over the years into its mouth to eat them one by one. The head was cut off by the sword just now, and the resentment came from From the mound of meat, it turned into a blood mist. The things that Tian Muqing thought of bit by bit have outlined the general situation of the disaster in this village. What makes me wonder is why she is so afraid of Nuo Po? I had a lot to ask, but when the words came to my lips, Tian Muqing walked forward quickly. She didn't seem to hear me when I called her, with a strange look on her face. At this moment, she walked to the Shinto in the west of the village. On the stone slab, there are roads to ward off evil spirits and stone beasts on both sides, which is usually called Shinto. We followed behind with a big cigarette dish on our backs, and saw scattered branches in the fog, strange shadows, incomplete chilongs, auspicious beasts, evil spirits, rhinos, etc. A kind of stone beast, swaying here and there in the grass, and there are also stone tablets with evil beasts embossed on the side. The words on the tablets have been blurred, and the stench of corpses is coming from the direction of the ancient tomb in the village. Cheeky and I took turns carrying the big cigarette trays, weary and exhausted, our eyes darkened in waves, and we knew in our hearts that we were going to be unable to hold on. Pointing at Tian Muqing who was walking in front cheekily, he whispered to me: "Have you noticed, why does she look like a different person?" I said, "It's only because of your eyes that you can tell." Cheeky said: "People like you and I are almost exhausted, why does she walk so fast like chicken blood, it scares people's head lanterns?" I said, "No, maybe she saw Nuo Po's face and remembered all the things she had forgotten before." She said cheekily, "She said that she died in this village in her previous life. I don't really believe it. Can such a thing really happen? Is she the reincarnation of a Nuo woman?" I said, "You don't know how to use your head to think about it. If Nuo Po was reincarnated after her death, why would she still be haunting the village?" Cheeky said: "You crow fell on a pig, and you just saw that others were black. If your brain is not white, let me tell you, she... who is she?" I said: "Things about reincarnation in the six realms are really unspeakable. They are beyond our knowledge, but if you ask me who she is, I have already guessed it pretty well. I think she must have been in this place before. lived in the cursed village." Cheeky said: "Have you lived in the village? You don't need to tell me, a fool can see this kind of thing, so I'll ask you if she is a human or a ghost?" I said, "Is she a human or a ghost? Your question is on point. I don't think it's a ghost. It's not that I didn't wear my eyes. I let the ghost walk with us all the way and I haven't noticed it yet, but I I don't think she's human either." Cheeky said: "It's as if you didn't say what you said, or it's just nonsense that doesn't use your brain, can't you be normal for a while?" I said, "Listen to me first. This village has disappeared for thousands of years. How long can a person live? She is only twenty-two or three years old. How could she know what happened so long ago?" Cheeky said: "Understood, we were fooled by her! My disadvantage is that I am too honest, too easy to trust others, with a deep heart, but we are greeted with cold arrows that poke my heart. Look at her Where is the heart and where is the intention?" I said, "I believe what she said is true, but there are things we can't think of, or we dare not think." Cheeky said: "Then she is still from Qiangu Yidi Village? She also ate earth dragon seeds and became immortal like Feng Yiren?" I said: "Definitely not, that's why your head is growing for nothing. Think about it, she followed us into the ancient tomb of Qiangu Yidi Village. What happened along the way?" He said cheekily: "What happened? Didn't bump into Huang Foye's group of bandits and almost died in the underground palace of the ancient tomb. I don't know whether it was bad luck or luck. He didn't die in the underground palace, but he was trapped in this village and couldn't get out. Go, do these things have something to do with her? I said, can you stop being a secret, and tell me what tricks you see?" I said, "You only know one but don't know the other, and you know the second but don't know the third. In fact, if you pay attention a little bit, you should have thought of it." Cheeky said: "Could it be that after Nuo Po's tragic death, the human head was left in the village and turned into a human-headed lantern, and the headless corpse escaped from Qiangu Yidi Village, found a head somewhere, and returned to this village now? What is she going to do?" I said: "She is not the Nuo woman, nor the Nuo king, nor even anyone in the village, but you got it right, she fled outside on the day the village was destroyed. I didn't know who she was until I found some clues in the Nuo Temple, do you remember the ghost in the bronze mirror, the girl saw her and couldn't kneel down..." He said cheekily: "There is such a thing, you want to say that the little ghost in the bronze mirror served her before she died?" I said: "Why haven't you figured it out? There is no ghost in the bronze mirror. It's just a girl who hid in the stone room of the temple to avoid disaster before massacring the village. She died inside and never came out. The dead body was always shining in front of the ancient mirror. It has not been touched for thousands of years, and the ancient bronze mirror is a treasure. There is spiritual energy in the mirror, but it does not take shape. With the figure of the dead girl, it takes shape and becomes a ghost. The girl who wanted to strangle us, actually It is the bronze mirror itself, which has nothing to do with the girl trapped in the stone room, so you can understand?" Scratching his head cheekily, he said, "I probably understand, no... What do you want me to understand?" I said, "You're such an elm-headed person. I've said all this, yet you're still dazed? Let me ask you, why did the Bronze Mirror ghost kneel down to worship her, and then disappeared?" She said cheekily: "That's...why? I really haven't thought about it, why am I afraid of her? But I think she speaks very kindly, reasonable and not hypocritical. There are not many people in the world, what is so scary about such people?" I said: "You still don't understand, because she is the master of the bronze mirror, and if the slave sees the master, is there anyone who doesn't kneel?" Cheeky said: "After a long time of trouble, will she snatch our bronze mirror back? This is more painful than picking off my ribs. I don't want to, and I don't think she may snatch me away." , Who will you help then? Based on what you have done in the past, I doubt that you will not just stand by and watch, but instead turn your elbows out and beat you in. " I said, "What time has it come? You are still thinking about those irrelevant things. Think about who is the master of the bronze mirror? That's not human at all!" Cheeky said: "Is she not a human or a ghost? You said before that she is not a ghost. Doesn't that mean that you got yourself involved?" I said: "There are not only people living in the village. According to the murals recorded in the treasure house of the Nuo King's Palace, the bronze mirror with the bird pattern has been enshrined in the Nuo Temple. Is that where people live? So I think she is from this village." ..." I was a little nervous when I said this, and I lowered my voice: "She is the Nuo God in this village!"
