In front of me was a small village, and a huge stone monument was erected at the entrance of the village. The word "Fox Town" was drastically cut out and then colored with cinnabar. Maybe it's because it's been some years, the cinnabar has peeled off in some places, leaving the traces of the years.
"Fox Town?" Shen Fengyue reached out and touched the two words, and a little dust was stained on her fingertips.
Zhang Hansheng put down the mission scroll and said, "This is the purpose of my coming down the mountain this time. It is said that the Fox Town under the Green Mountain was attacked by evil spirits, and the master sent me to deal with this matter."
Fox Town, since there is a fox character, it must be related to fox? Shen Fengyue thought divergently.
The three of them didn't stay at the entrance of the village for long. After simply observing the surroundings of the village, they had to lift their feet in.
Shen Fengyue followed them, and when he was about to cross the stele, she suddenly heard a cry of mourning from behind the stele.
"Huh?" He retracted his half-stepped leg, his attention was attracted by the stone tablet.
A handful of white hair suddenly appeared on the edge of the stone tablet, and the voice rang again, sorrow and grief. With the sound, the handful of hair also moved slightly.
The sound was like an animal, but Shen Fengyue couldn't remember what animal it was for a while. He walked around behind the stele and saw the true face of Lushan.
"Daoist, Fu Zhengguang, come soon!" He greeted the two people in front, "Here is a fox!"
There was a fox lying in front of him. Its fur was as white as snow. There was no other color except white. It was just because it was lying on the ground and its hair was stained with mud, so some places looked dirty, but none of these Hinder its beauty.
It was curled up, its body was trembling slightly, it was already breathing in and out, and it was dying and looked like it was about to die in the next second.
"It seems to be dying," Shen Fengyue said, her tone unconsciously with a trace of sadness.
Witnessing the demise of a biological life is a very sad thing.
The white fox's brown eyes were covered with tears, and the water mist dimmed its sight. It looked sadly at the human beings surrounding it, and whispered and gasped.
A short period of whimpering came into people's ears, and people couldn't help but feel sad for it.
Zhang Hansheng carefully picked up the white fox, took out a jade bottle from his arms, poured out the golden core, crushed it, and fed it into the white fox's mouth. At the same time, Shen Fengyue was also exerting spiritual power on it, trying to make it feel better.
But they still failed.
The destiny is here, manpower cannot do it.
The white fox couldn't be saved in the end, and it swallowed in Zhang Hansheng's arms. Before dying, it stretched its neck and turned sideways in the direction of Shen Fengyue, looking at him with tears, as if to remember him forever.
Shen Fengyue sighed that everything was alive, thinking it liked him, and bending her eyebrows before she died, showing a gentle smile.
After the white fox groaned softly, his head dropped and leaned against Zhang Hansheng's arms.
When it swallowed, Zhang Hansheng's eyes flashed a yellow light, and it passed by. He put the white fox on the ground and sighed.
The three of them summed up, and finally buried the body of the white fox under the stone monument at the entrance of the village.
Shen Fengyue glanced at the small mound next to the stele, followed Zhang Hansheng into Fox Town.
After they left, hundreds of black figures suddenly appeared in the grass, with triangular ears, pointed mouths, and yellow eyes gleaming in the darkness.
Zhang Hansheng and the three did not know what happened after they left. After they entered the village, they wandered in the village for a long time, only to see the households closed their doors tightly, and no one responded.
The sky also changed very quickly at that time. It was sunny before, but when I entered this village, the sun was already covered by clouds, and the sky was suppressed by darkness, both depressed and gloomy, with a hint of danger mixed in the opaque light.
Such weather, coupled with such a strange situation in this village, disturbed people's mood for no reason.
I don’t know when, Fu Zhengguang’s right eyelid began to jump wildly, his fingers pressed his right eye, his brow furrowed and said: "Whatever the situation, no one can speak, the door is closed, and I feel the village is gloomy. Yes, with a lifeless breath. Is it possible that all adults are gone?"
"The situation is not simple." Shen Fengyue nodded and agreed with him.
Zhang Hansheng had already pulled out the sword behind him and held it in his hand, in case he needed it. They continued to walk in the village, shouting as they walked.
The village was hidden in the shadows, and Shen Fengyue looked around, for fear that from the darkness he would suddenly stretch out a hand and drag him into an unknown place.
"Xia is a disciple of the Tianzhao Sect. This time, we have been specially ordered by the master to deal with the attack on Fox Town." Zhang Hansheng said, "I don't know what happened to your village and it has become what it is now. In Xia, I just want to convince your village. It’s not a treacherous evil, and it’s nothing to do with evil charm. It’s just the people who come to help your village solve the disaster."
"If you want to believe me, please see me frankly."
As soon as the voice fell, a crow landed on the eaves and cried three times in their direction.
The crow cried for unknown...
Shen Fengyue's goose bumps have risen.
Suddenly, a door behind them opened, a hand stretched out, grabbed the nearest Shen Fengyue, and pulled in.
"Fuck!" Shen Fengyuehun was almost shocked, this time he was really dragged in by an unknown black hand.
At the moment he howled, Zhang Hansheng was the first to react, and he was about to swing his sword out. An old man's voice came from the wide open door: "Long way, be slow, the old man is not a treacherous evil."
The cold air hit the door, immediately forming a thick layer of frost.
"Old man?"
The man inside hummed: "Come in."
Zhang Hansheng took the sword and went in. Fu Zhengguang hesitated a bit, but seeing that Zhang Hansheng had gone in, his worries disappeared and he followed in.
It was the village head of Fox Town that dragged Shen Fengyue in. He let go of his hand and apologized to Shen Fengyue, saying that he was offended.
After all three of them entered the house, they hurriedly closed the door.
The sky was dim outside and the light was unknown. Now that the door is closed, the room is even darker, and it can only be illuminated by the trembling candles on the table that seem to be blown out by a gust of wind.
A woman walked up to the village chief, and the two asked them to sit down and followed them, clearing their throats to say something.
The village chief and his wife were in their fifties and were wearing coarse cloth clothes, wrinkled yellow wax skin, and poor complexion. Especially a pair of cloudy and yellow eyes, it is always a little uncomfortable to see people, but they have a kind smile on their faces.
This feels really weird. Shen Fengyue can't feel good about them, and always feels that this combination of evil and goodwill is plainly infiltrating. And it seems even more so that the benign and false.
The village chief’s wife poured a cup of tea for each of them and asked them to take a drink to warm themselves.
It's not like tea. It was filled with a clay cup, and there was a hole missing on the edge, and the brown liquid filled the cup. As soon as I got closer, I could smell a strange smell, and I could see some unknown things floating inside by candlelight.
This "tea" is really unappetizing. In Shen Fengyue's eyes, it was a poisonous existence. The tea has no fragrance, only a strange smell and muddy liquid with residue.
He did not drink, and Yu Guang watched the reaction of the two people around him.
Fu Zhengguang is a child of the rich family. Since he was young, he has never treated him badly in terms of food and clothing, so this is the first time he saw him. Although he was bluffing on weekdays, he was actually well educated, he just smiled reluctantly, and didn't make any big moves.
And Zhang Hansheng was as cold as usual.
The village chief and his wife were not angry when they saw that they did not move, nor did they drink tea, as if pouring a cup of tea was just a process.
"Hey, thanks to God's pity, it would be like fire and water from Zhaotianmen disciples coming to help me save me." The village chief looked very grateful, "I really appreciate it."
Zhang Hansheng politely said no thanks, this is their duty, and asked the village chief to explain the situation in Fox Town.
The village chief sighed and began to explain the current situation in Fox Town: "Oh, I don't know if the small village has such a catastrophe. Our small village is a little closed to the outside world, and marriages are carried out in the village, and it is not easy to contact the outside world. Last year, a man in the village brought back a beautiful woman when he was hunting outside, saying that he wanted to marry home and be his wife."
"That woman is indeed unparalleled, she was born pure, looks good, speaks gentle and gentle, treats people with kindness and politeness. Gradually, everyone doesn't mind her identity as an outsider, and she agrees very much with this marriage."
"But unfortunate things also started at this time..." The village chief changed his voice and continued, "The woman married into the village, and the village started to have strange things. First, someone got sick. No matter how you see the doctor and take medicine, it can't be cured. In the end, I could only watch them let go. Then, rumors of haunting began to spread. Everyday people die in the village, and everyone is shrouded in the shadow of death..."
Shen Fengyue asked: "Why don't you run away?"
Hearing this, the village chief took a deep look at him, and explained: "Some people ran out of the village because they were afraid, and even ran more than a dozen miles. They woke up the next day and found that they were still lying. The bed in the village home! This village can't get out! No matter how far you go, you will come back the next day and return to this place. This is like an unbreakable curse that will always curse and erode the innocent in the village People."
"We don’t know what mistakes we made that would have caused such a great disaster! Is this God’s anger?! One day, a Taoist priest came to the entrance of the village and said that there were evil spirits in the village. He traveled around here to help. They. The villagers seemed to have found hope to welcome him into the village. The Taoist chief made a survey, and finally said that the evil spirit was... that woman."
"What did you do to her?" Fu Zhengguang guessed the end after listening to this kind of story. Aren't those words in this story all have such a routine?
Sure enough, the village chief said: "Kill. The chief said that the evil spirit must be burned to death with fire, so we burned her to death."
Shen Fengyue touched her chin: "But it's useless, right?"
"Yes, it's no use." The village chief said, "Everyone thought that the evil and evil had been eliminated, and the curse should be eliminated. But no, the village continued to die, and even the next day it was discovered that the Taoist chief had died of anger and the body was destroyed. Throw it at the entrance of the village."
The story is over, but there is no clue. Seeing that it was not early, the village chief proposed to let them rest quickly and warned them that no matter what was happening outside at night, they should never open the door. The monster was tempting them. Once they went out, they would be eaten immediately.
Shen Fengyue said they knew, and then they divided the room.
There are two rooms in the village chief’s house, and it is impossible to all be crowded together, but for safety, they decided to guard one person separately.
Zhang Hansheng was in charge of guarding the village chief, and Shen Fengyue and Fu Zhengguang were in charge of guarding the village chief's wife. When all of them were combined, they laid a floor under the bed.
The night was slightly cool, silent, and only the sound of people breathing slowly while sleeping.
Suddenly, there was a scream outside, successfully awakening Shen Fengyue. Holding the belief that if you don't die, you won't die, he turned around and chose to continue to sleep when he didn't hear it.
But the voice didn't let him go, it sounded like a reminder. Shen Fengyue couldn't sleep anymore, and in the dark night, he opened his eyes.
"Fu Zhengguang, wake up, do you hear any strange screams outside?" He pushed Fu Zhengguang beside him. As a result, he slept like a dead pig, motionless.
Shen Fengyue pushed him several times without responding, and kicked him with anger.
At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from above: "I heard it." It was the village chief's wife.
The sudden female voice shocked Shen Fengyue, and he was relieved when he found that it was the village chief's wife.
"It's okay, go to sleep, as long as you don't go out and open the door, nothing will happen." He comforted the village chief's wife like this, and then lay down.
After lying down for a while, the village chief’s wife said, "Little brother, can you go to the hall and get a candle. The room is too dark, and the old man is a little scared."
Unexpectedly, this village chief’s wife had so many things. Shen Fengyue was unwilling to do so, but the elderly people asked for it like that. If he refused to accept the two steps, it would be impossible for him to justify, so he agreed.
He got up, put on a piece of clothing on his body, sneaked out, and successfully got a candle in the hall. At this time, the screams outside hadn't stopped. Shen Fengyue looked at the closed door, listened to the screams one after another, and made a grimace: "Call a fart, the night is disturbing! "
The door opened suddenly, and the strong wind poured into the room from outside, blowing chilly on the body.
"?????" He hasn't figured out what the **** is going on, this door, why, how did it open? !
Before he could react, a sudden force came from behind and pushed him out.
"Fuck!!!"
