All the men, women, old and young in the village came out again and again, and went straight to the end of the village.
Last night, when I entered the village, it was dark and I couldn't really see it. At this time, I found that the houses on both sides were all made of wood. One was big, the other was small and slightly square. I don't know why. All the houses were painted with red paint. Some were new, some were old. They were set off in the rising sun, and some were creepy.
What kind of village is this? It's clearly an open-air graveyard!
We didn't know the truth of the reincarnation village. When we saw the villagers, we just felt a little uncomfortable and didn't think about it elsewhere. At this time, again, these people are a little abnormal.
It may be that the new body has not been fully controlled. Everyone's gait and movement are a little stiff and uncoordinated.
At first, they exchanged a few words with each other occasionally in languages we didn't understand, but once they crossed the courtyard with the reincarnation stone, they all remained silent, hung their heads down, and walked straight to the end of the village.
At the end of the village, there are two long lines, old and young, left and right, standing with expressionless faces and hands.
This situation is both horrible and funny, just like a group of zombies who keep order!
the three of us are also learning how to behave. We joined the queue honestly, and kicked my heel lightly at the beginning. I looked down and understood it immediately.
There is a white line drawn on the ground in front of the gate. Once you step into it, you will become an unconscious wandering soul.
At this time, the bald man led several people from the front of the team.
They were all dressed in filial piety, and one of them was still holding a spiritual banner high.
A cockfight eye with a cigarette in its mouth, while walking, checking and counting the crowd. After checking all of them, he reported to the bald man, "brother Huan, there are 174 of them. They are all here. There are many of them."
The bald man nodded, waved his hand in advance and said, "let's go." With that, he walked forward with his hands on his back.
The guys followed, chatting obscenely as they walked.
It seems that none of them are reincarnated.
There was sadness and music ahead, and then the crowd moved slowly forward.
Some people were beating the spirit flags, some were sprinkling paper money, the guy with the cigarette in his mouth took another sip, dropped the cigarette end and burst into tears.
This scene is similar to the funeral. The only difference is that there is no coffin in the procession and all the 'dead' walk on their own.
When walking through a small earth bag at the end of the village, a guy with a mahogany bucket in his hand stood on both sides of the bag and shuddered on everyone's forehead.
The line went on, and there were two rows of dogs on both sides of the road.
One by one, just like a disciplined soldier, was motionless, only staring at the crowd with two fierce eyes.
Not far away, a pungent air of corruption came to our faces, hoping that we could all smoke people to death.
Walking in front of me, Pockmarked Li couldn't help but reach out to cover his nose. I quickly punched him and whispered, "don't move!"
After another walk, we finally found the root of the odor.
It's a large deep ditch about ten meters wide. The bottom is stacked with dead bodies. There are also burnt marks on the edge of the lower layer.
I don't know how deep the ditch used to be. At this time, it's full. Just like the scene of burning corpses in War documentary, it makes people hair numb at a glance!
It seems that these are replaced and useless corpses, that is, abandoned chicken feed in the reincarnation village.
I don't know how many people have been killed by this group of animals who regard human life as grass mustard?
When!
There was a gong in front of them, and the crowd stopped.
It turns out that there is a single wooden bridge over the deep ditch, which can only pass one by one.
Taking advantage of the unprepared situation, Pockmarked Li took a look at the bridge and said in a low voice: "brother Zhang, I can't cross that bridge!"
"What's the matter?" I asked in surprise.
"Just look at it."
I moved a little and looked forward through the gap between the people. The original bridge was just a green bamboo, which was just as thick as a fist.
At this time, those reincarnated people, after several magic paths, are no different from the puppets. Under the control of those guys in front, they pass easily. It's too difficult for Pockmarked Li!
With his weight and skill, once he stepped on it, he either fell into a deep ditch or stepped on the bamboo.
Even if you can barely get past, you can't help shaking, or stretching out your arms to find a balance or something, and then you're stuck.
"Nothing!" I told him in a low voice, "when you get on the bridge, close your eyes. It's like being on a stone tablet. I'll help you get there."
"Then All right. " Said Pockmarked Li, still a little afraid.
On the first day of the new year, when those people didn't pay attention, they quietly squeezed in front of Pockmarked Li.We've got Pockmarked Li in the middle. If something goes wrong, we can help him at any time. Otherwise, when he gets there, we're still here. If something goes wrong, we'll be in trouble.
Soon, it's our turn.
The first day of the new year brought up a breath, and those reincarnated people as easily walked past.
Pockmarked Li hesitated for a moment, but he didn't dare to step.
"Pockmarks!" I lowered my voice behind him and said, "don't be afraid. Just close your eyes and walk forward. I am here! If you don't move, you're stuck, and all your plans are wasted. "
"It's up to you!" Pockmarked Li muttered to himself, biting his teeth, and then stepped out.
At the same time of his step, I took a light talisman from my backpack and threw it in the past. At the same time, I pinched my fingers secretly, controlling the shadow of the first day far away from the opposite side, forming a dark long rope tightly tied to Pockmarked Li. At the same time, I swayed left and right, leading him to move forward step by step.
One step, two steps
At first, Pockmarked Li was still a little afraid, and his calf could not help shivering. But after seven or eight steps, he relaxed when he saw no danger.
See him finally a foot on the ground, I also put my heart down, took away the ghost art, ready to cross the bridge.
But who would have thought that the bluestone at that end had been trampled by many people, which made it bald and slippery. Pockmarked Li was careless and fell down as soon as he swayed. You will plant a deep ditch when you see it.
At the first glance, he hurriedly threw out a set amulet, and at the same time, under the cover of the crowd, he grabbed Li Mazi's belt and pulled him back. Thanks to the thoughtfulness of the first thought, if it wasn't for this talisman, Pockmarked Li would have cried out, then our plan of pretending to be a reincarnated person to muddle through the customs would be over!
Fortunately, we are in the middle of the crowd, and both sides are blocked by the dense crowd, so the episode is not found by those guys.
After passing the single wood bridge without any danger, and walking along the catwalk between the hillsides for more than 20 minutes, a small temple appeared on the top of the mountain.
The temple is not big, and it is very old and dilapidated. The tiles on the roof have all fallen off.
Around the mountain road, I came to the front of the small temple. I saw a dozen people waiting in the open space.
These people are different from the bald ones. They are all dressed in a black suit with a black head, wearing a green ghost mask on their face, and holding the hilt hanging on their waist with one hand, they are separated on both sides.
At the top of the middle step, with his hands on his back, stood an old goat beard with a long green cloth shirt.
The moment I saw the old man, I couldn't help being surprised!
How could it be him?
