MTL - Salted Fish Zombie-Chapter 168 kind of ghost

The more Ning Su thought about it, the more he felt that it would be good to let ghosts live.

Both are ghosts, who is afraid of whom.

Although ghosts are half-yin and half-yang, they are considered half-ghosts, but he is the master of ghosts.

Imp to Imp, magic beats magic.

Gui Sheng poked his head out from under the quilt, "Make friends?"

Ning Su: "Yes, it's time to test how cute ghosts really are."

Guisheng nodded solemnly, "Yeah! Cute!"

Ling Xiao: "..."

But definitely not tonight.

It was raining harder and harder outside, and the pouring rain stirred up a piece of muddy water, which was blown up by the strong wind and smelled like water.

Ning Su and Ling Xiao stood at the window together watching the heavy rain outside. He said to Ling Xiao, "I think the villagers are afraid of the rain, which is a very important point."

Ling Xiao let out a "hmm", and he looked out the window at the gloomy world where the heavy rain was slanting, "They may not be afraid of the rain."

Ning Su understood immediately.

What they are afraid of is the rainy season, or the continuous rain.

What happens when there is more rain?

Not to mention the flood that flooded the village, more rain caused the river to rise, and it was terrible enough to flood the village.

Ning Su thought about the things in the corpse raising river, and then thought about that scene.

"..."

Ning Su: "Why don't we go up the mountain tomorrow to cut firewood and make a boat."

Ling Xiao: "..."

The downpour in the middle of the night continued until the next day.

Many of their plans were delayed the next day.

Su Xiangsheng said: "They originally planned to go to the mountain again during the day, but there were little ghosts appearing at night, but there may not be any during the day, and they don't know if they can go up in such a heavy rain."

Ning Su grasped the key point, "They? You're not going?"

Su Xiangsheng: "..."

Su Xiangsheng: "To tell you the truth, I don't want to go up again. I had a nightmare last night. For a while, I dreamed that the ghost child was knocking on the bottom of my bed, and for a while, I dreamed that the kid was sitting next to my pillow. I laughed, and after a while I dreamed that the little ghost dragged my wife away and offered it to the evil **** as his bride."

Ning Su: "..."

Ning Su: "You also read romance novels? But the last one is unnecessary, the evil **** enshrined in this village likes men."

Su Xiangsheng: "...?"

Su Xiangsheng didn't know how to continue the chat, so he said to Ning Su: "My plan is to let Chen Tian and Meng Jiang go to the mountain instead of me and Shuangshuang. Shuangshuang and I will go to the old man's words, and we must bring you."

Ning Su: "Why?"

Su Xiangsheng: "Because I feel that you are better at dealing with NPCs. After all, you can even borrow people's tricycles."

Ning Su: "..."

Ning Su thought it made sense, but still rejected him, "I want to follow Shi Tianshu."

Su Xiangsheng: "Why?"

Because I'm a mom boy.

Of course Ning Su couldn't say that. He said, "Because I'm a fan of President Shi."

Su Xiangsheng: "...All right."

In the end, Ning Su went with them, because Shi Tianshu also planned to go there after hearing this.

Ning Su followed Shi Tianshu and the others, and took Manman to find the old man.

Ling Xiao took Guisheng, and Ning Changfeng and the others went to the mountains to make friends.

When I went out in the morning, the heavy rain was still falling, Mingqian Village was low-lying, and a shallow layer of water had gathered.

Apart from the players, there was no one else to be seen in the village. The whole village was shrouded in the sound of rain and wind. The sky was gray, silent and noisy.

Several black umbrellas move slowly among them.

They only saw the old man once, and they probably saw him running towards the west of the village. At this time, all the houses in Mingqian Village were closed, and it was not easy to find the old man.

They didn't know how many times they were rejected, and they didn't find the old man's house until the afternoon.

He lives in a small two-story building that is common in Mingqian Village.

Zhu Shuangshuang said: "Didn't the old man say that he was lonely and helpless? Before the person related to him was thrown into the river, there were only two people, did they also live in a two-story building?"

Pang Yang: "Because the village is full of small buildings like this."

Mingqian Village is indeed full of such small two-story buildings, which seem to have a uniform style, and it is hard to think of anything at first.

When Zhu Shuangshuang mentioned this, Ning Su was thoughtful.

Su Xiangsheng went up and knocked on the door.

There is no sound.

They have experienced this situation many times before, and Su Xiangsheng kept knocking and knocking.

After an unknown amount of time, a window on the second floor opened, and the old man poked his head out. When he saw them, his expression turned pale, "What are you doing here? Go away!"

Ning Su said, "If you don't let us in, we'll tell you about the bones you fished out of the river."

elder:"…"

The old man opened the door for them angrily, but obviously he didn't want to say a word to them.

"Hey." Ning Su handed him a black plastic bag.

The old man's heart skipped a beat, "What?"

Ning Su: "Open it and see for yourself."

The old man opened it tremblingly, and it turned out to be two roasted sweet potatoes.

"..."

Ning Su said blankly, "Your house is too hard to find. The roasted sweet potatoes that were originally hot are cold."

The old man held two roasted sweet potatoes, watched the pouring rain outside, and kept silent.

Manman looked at the two roasted sweet potatoes and felt that this scene seemed familiar.

Roasted sweet potatoes, mom seems to have given it to another old man?

How many old people has he sent baked sweet potatoes to?

Ning Su handed him another black plastic bag, and the old man said loudly, "What is it again!"

He opened it and saw that it was a human bone this time.

Ning Su: "What you missed, I picked it up for you."

The old man could pick up part of it himself, and it would not be difficult for Ning Su and the others to pick it up for him.

The corpse raising river is very long, and the location of the villagers throwing people into the river is different every time, and the distance is far away.

They just go to the place where they met the old man.

After all, the old man was very old, so he could only squat by the river and fish in the shallow water. For the places farther away, they took a little effort to help him fish out before the river rose and surged.

In the heart of the old man, the bones are not complete, and he must feel regretful and uneasy.

Two black plastic bags were handed to this helpless old man who hadn't eaten anything all day and night. One was roasted sweet potatoes, and the other was the bones of the only relative who had just died.

He sat there for a while, carried the plastic bag, and walked into another room with his back bent.

On a rainy day, the room is dark and gloomy. On the bed covered with black sheets, human bones form a rough outline of the human body.

The old man took out the bones from the black plastic bag again and continued to put together the missing parts.

The hunched back, black-yellow-looking old man, splicing human bones in a dark room, was a somewhat terrifying scene, but looking at his trembling hands and listening to his extremely slow breathing, they I can't feel the eerie, only taste the sadness.

"That river was originally not called Yangshi River, but Tongming River. I heard that it is a river leading to the underworld. It is very dark, but it can lead to the underworld smoothly. Therefore, people in Mingqian Village will be buried in water when they die. Throw the ashes into the river, and some directly throw the dead into the river."

"After a long time, there are problems with the corpses inside. If they are alive, they must be eaten by the corpses to stabilize them."

"Since then, the ones thrown into the river have become living people, not dead people. My grandson, just, just... have pity on one of us being an 80-year-old man and the other a 30-year-old fool..."

Several players froze for a moment.

I didn't expect it to be like this.

Su Xiangsheng said: "When we entered the village, we heard the origin of the name Mingqian Village. Mingqian Village is the village closest to the underworld and in front of the underworld?"

The old man nodded, "That's right."

Su Xiangsheng was curious, "Why is there such a saying? Is it because the village is full of yin?"

As soon as Su Xiangsheng entered the village, he felt a strong yin, and felt that something was wrong with the village.

However, just because of the yin, it is said that their village is close to the underworld?

The old man said: "It is true that there is a lot of yin in the village, but there is such a saying that it is not all because of the yin."

"I heard that in the beginning, there was a Yin God of the underworld who often passed the village along the river to go far away. That's why the village is called Mingqian Village, and the river is called Tongming River. That Yin God is still enshrined on the mountain."

Ning Su: "..."

It turned out that it was not an evil god, but a yin **** again.

Su Xiangsheng, a little Taoist priest, didn't know what to say for a moment.

As a little Taoist priest, in the real world, he might not be able to say anything about feudal rumors, let alone in the weird dungeon world.

Zhu Shuangshuang muttered: "Is this statement reliable?"

The old man's eyes widened, "Reliable, it is because it is close to the underworld, and there is a yin **** descending, the village will be as yin as you said, and Mingqian village will have yin and yang decline. There are more women and fewer men. The women in the village in front of us are born." Famously beautiful!"

That last point is true.

But more women than men?

Shi Tianshu said: "I don't see how much more women are than men."

Old man: "It's not so obvious now, it was before."

Ning Su asked, "Does outsiders often come to the village?"

The old man: "I have bad legs and feet. I rarely go out in the past two years. I don't know. It should be. I can see outsiders occasionally."

Several people were silent for a while.

They all knew that the old man had told them a lot, most of which should be true, but he avoided the most important points and didn't mention the key points.

They are hesitating whether to ask directly, or to come back tomorrow step by step.

Shi Tianshu said, "Why did they throw your grandson into the river to raise his body?"

Old man: "Look at our grandparents, one is old and the other is a fool, they are easy to bully."

"The rainy season is coming, and at this time they will find living people to throw their corpses into the river, otherwise the monsters in the river will kill the villagers crazily. The living people thrown into the river are easy to bully and have no one to support them. Like us."

The old man looked at the bones on the bed again, sighed sadly and helplessly, his eyes had lost much vitality.

Shi Tianshu continued to ask: "But, why are all the men who throw themselves into the river to raise corpses?"

The old man was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Because men have strong yang energy."

Shi Tianshu approached a few questions step by step, and finally she asked the most important thing: "Who were the people who lived on the mountain before? Have you ever seen children on the mountain?"

The old man suddenly turned around and went out to close the door. He wiped his skinny black and yellow hands vigorously and said, "I've never seen it before. I'm an old man who can't walk steadily. How could I go up the mountain? How could I know this?"

Before Shi Tianshu could speak again, he said, "You guys go, I'm too tired!"

The four looked at each other.

Ning Su said: "If you want to talk, come to us anytime, we can help you."

When I went out, the heavy rain was still falling, and there was no sign of it getting smaller.

The torrential rain fell into the water, and the water splashed on the thigh.

They held up umbrellas that didn't cover much of the rain, and walked back wet all over.

Su Xiangsheng said: "The background of Mingqian Village he said shouldn't lie to us, including the origin of the name of Mingqian Village, Tongming River, Yangshi River, and the Yin God, the stone temple we saw on the mountain It is true that there is such a statue of Yin God stepping on the river."

Shi Tianshu said: "He didn't lie to us, it's just that he didn't want to tell the key part, or didn't dare to say it."

Zhu Shuangshuang took the old man's guess, "He said that during the rainy season, the village uses living people to raise corpses. Except for outsiders, this living person is someone in the village who is easy to bully and can't take revenge. If you say that, he probably has no other relatives. As I said before, he is alone."

"In this case, his grandson who was kept dead should be very, very important to him. It may be his only spiritual support. We helped him retrieve the remaining bones of his grandson. He should be very grateful. What he didn’t tell us is that it’s not a subjective reluctance, but a fear.”

Shi Tianshu said, "Yes."

Su Xiangsheng: "What is he afraid of?"

Shi Tianshu: "There are two possibilities, one is that he is afraid that he will tell something about our village, and the villagers will retaliate and throw him into the corpse raising river; the other is that he is afraid that he will talk about the things in the corpse raising river and the little devil on the mountain. "

Zhu Shuangshuang nodded, "When he heard you asking him about the people living on the mountain and the little ghosts on the mountain, something was obviously wrong."

Su Xiangsheng wondered, "What are the little ghosts on the mountain that can make the old man keep such secrets, and they are indeed very scary."

Shi Tianshu: "Someone went to see it, let's see what news they can bring back."

Instead of going back to the small building where they lived, they went to another deserted small building by the woods.

This is where they agreed to meet on a rainy day.

The few players who went up the mountain arrived before them. When they got to the small building, a fire had already been lit on the second floor and food was being roasted.

Rainwater has entered the first floor and can only be baked on the second floor.

As soon as Ning Su entered, Gui Sheng ran over, "No, I have no friends!"

Ning Su: "..."

Ning Changfeng said: "I didn't see those little ghosts during the day. We searched carefully in several villas and found some useful things."

He pointed to a pile of things he had brought from the villa next to him.

Guisheng dragged Manman to the corner to mutter something, Ning Su glanced at Ling Xiao, and followed Shi Tianshu to look at those things.

Su Xiangsheng told the few people who went to the mountain what they had heard from the old man.

Ning Changfeng: "He should not have lied. There is a village chronicle there, which also says so."

Ning Su found out the village chronicle Ning Changfeng mentioned, and handed it to Shi Tianshu.

Village chronicles generally record the basic situation and major events in the village, but this village chronicle is more like a brochure for Mingqian Village for specific people. It is not surprising that it was found in several small villas.

This is for outsiders in the villa to see.

There is a large section of the background of Mingqian Village told by the old man above, especially the legend, which is described vividly, including the terrifying power of the Yin God, and the treacherous face.

Ning Su glanced at Ling Xiao and shook his head.

Ling Xiao: "..."

The following are the deeds that prove this legend. The weather in Mingqian Village is cool and there is no summer, and it is shrouded in mist all year round.

Ning Su felt that this village chronicle was very dishonest.

Su Xiangsheng took it very seriously, "I said earlier that they use the women in the village to attract people with evil intentions from outside to enter the village!"

Shi Tianshu shook her head, "This village chronicle does say a lot about women, but this is to prove that Mingqian Village has a yin god, and the village is very special."

"This is the most important part of this village chronicle. The importance of this point is not lower than that of women. The two important points should not only focus on women."

Ning Changfeng said: "This village chronicle is supposed to be read by outsiders who live in villas. Why do you need to explain it in such a large space?"

Shi Tianshu: "It's because those people pay the most attention to these things."

The players in the small building were taken aback, especially Su Xiangsheng.

After seeing the woman's photo album in the villa yesterday, he combined other clues and thought that Mingqian Village used the beautiful women in the village to attract men from outside, and then threw these men into the corpse raising river to raise corpses, and then used the corpses to grow ghosts.

Now it seems that is not the case.

Su Xiangsheng: "They didn't come here for the women in Mingqian Village, but the legend of Mingqian Village, or what is special about this village?"

Ning Su: "Not necessarily."

Su Xiangsheng: "?"

Didn't you say you didn't understand yesterday?

Shi Tianshu looked at Ning Su, very interested, "Tell me?"

Ning Su: "A special woman raised by the special people in the village."

Su Xiangsheng: "Where is it special? Especially beautiful? Especially gloomy? A woman who is favored by the Yin God and linked to the underworld?"

"..."

Ning Changfeng said: "Keep reading, there is another photo."

The person in that photo is very familiar. There was a photo of her in the photo album that Su Xiangsheng took out from the villa yesterday.

This one is larger and more exquisite, showing the beauty of the woman in the photo more clearly.

Ning Changfeng: "This is what we found in the villa where we met the kid, in the master bedroom."

Zhu Shuangshuang: "Is she the one finally chosen by the man in that villa? There are everyone's date of birth and name on the back of the photo in the album. I remember her name is Li Bingyu. Could it be that she is the ghost master?"

Su Xiangsheng: "Wait a minute, I remember a dungeon we went to called "Ghost Animals". It had two focuses, brides and animals, so there were two ghost masters. In this dungeon world, there are two monsters in the corpse river and little ghosts on the mountain. An important point, will there be two ghost masters?"

Shi Tianshu shook her head, she said affirmatively: "If there is a ghost master in this world, there is only one."

When she said this, she was holding an account book in her hand.

It is the most common kind of accounting book, but it is used as a memo or notebook.

There is not much content on it, and it is all about a person surnamed Su.

Ning Changfeng came over and said: "There is a word Su in the man's belt in the villa. This should be the man surnamed Su recorded by Li Bingyu."

"Judging from these contents, she doesn't know the specific identity of this surnamed Su. Except for the detailed and clear record of appearance, everything else is heard from others."

[They call him Mr. Su, he looks to be in his forties, with a refined demeanor. ]

[He loves sitting by the window listening to the rain and watching the rain. In the gloomy sky, his medium thick eyebrows are always frowning, his long eyes are covered by long eyelashes, and the moles at the end of the eyes become unclear. Under the high bridge of the nose, a cigar is dangling from light-colored thin lips. ]

[I secretly measured his height at night, and his net height is 178, and I found a mole on the inside of his chin. ]

[They say that he is a very, very powerful big boss, the kind who is famous all over the country, made a fortune in real estate, and is currently involved in the entertainment industry. That is too far away from me, a woman who has never been out of the village. Go and see. ]

Su Xiangsheng asked: "Who is this 'you'?"

Ning Su: "The one she wrote for."

These were obviously written by her for someone to read, and she described in detail the appearance of this man surnamed Su, as well as the identity she heard, in order to let this person find him.

Su Xiangsheng was a little at a loss, "Who did she write for?"

Ning Su and Shi Tianshu both looked at him.

At this moment, there was another thunder in the sky, and the windows were slammed by the strong wind.

Lightning quickly illuminated the faces of everyone in the small building, and the two sudden voices made people panic.

Su Xiangsheng's heart thumped suddenly in his tight chest, "I won't show it to the ghosts! The ghosts she planted? She knew at the time that she would be used to plant ghosts?!"

Shi Tianshu: "You are right, it is very possible."

It turns out that the correct guess is so frustrating.

Su Xiangsheng rubbed the **** bump on his arm.

The last thing they brought out of the villa was a yellow cloth the size of a mattress with red runes painted on it.

Ning Changfeng said: "It was found under the sheets of the master bedroom."

He finally added: "We searched several villas in detail today, and that's about all the useful things we can find on the mountain."

In other words, apart from the little ghost, there are only these clues that can give them hints.

At present, it seems that there is nothing to be obtained from the villagers in a short period of time, and they will use these clues to push.

Several players were thinking about each other. They didn't know what they pushed and where the progress of the task was.

It was still raining outside the small building. Instead of getting smaller, the rain was getting bigger and bigger. It hurt to the point of being hit by the rain when going out.

The sky was also getting darker a little bit, indicating that it was getting dark.

Zhu Shuangshuang said: "The villagers in Mingqian Village are very afraid of the rain. The old man explained the reason. If the monster in the corpse river does not feed the living people during the rainy season, it will kill the villagers madly."

"This is the rainy season, right? I don't know what will happen tonight."

Ning Changfeng said: "Let's eat. Only when we are full will we have the strength to face the evening."

Ning Su: "Hey!"

It was another day where lunch and dinner were settled together, and Ning Su was so hungry that he sat next to Ling Xiao, picked up the roast chicken and ate it.

The two children also finished their muttering, and walked over to Ning Su and Ling Xiao to eat a little.

After eating, they went back to their residence.

At this time, the water in the village was knee-deep, and the two children could not walk.

Ning Su put Guisheng on his shoulders, Manman sat on Ling Xiao's shoulders, and the group walked back without any difficulty.

There was a section of road that was relatively close to the Yangshi River. When he got there, Su Xiangsheng saw that the stagnant water was connected with the river surface, and suddenly froze.

"Old, wife, the things in the corpse raising river won't flow into the stagnant water, right?"

Zhu Shuangshuang, who is not afraid of ghosts, felt bad after hearing this.

Her toes were digging in the yellow water, and she always felt that there were bones under her feet, and the black hair of the dead lingered on her bare calf.

She hurriedly put down the rolled up pants, "In broad daylight, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Su Xiangsheng: "Yes, yes, it's fine in broad daylight, but it's getting dark, we have to leave quickly."

Ning Su who was standing behind him: "Are you going?"

Su Xiangsheng: "...the legs are weak and I can't walk."

Ning Su: "..."
