Chapter 324
Li Gui was a little puzzled, "That was not too long ago."
"Sure enough." Young Shao's face sank, "This village chief must have wanted to use us to do something, so he deliberately let us come to this house."
Gu Wuji seems to have understood the meaning, but he didn't expect the village chief to be involved in the grudges of the wealthy and powerful family on Yang Shao's side. This village is really dangerous.
"Then how is your companion now?" Gu Wuji asked, he remembered that Young Master Yang had two bodyguards... and secretly didn't know how many people wanted to harm Young Master Yang.
Li Gui thought Gu Wuji asked about the other six ghosts that were sealed, and immediately said: "I can feel their breath, they also woke up, in other parts of this village... and the one that scares the most. Yes, it seems to be..."
The two were clearly talking with the duck, but the topic was strangely connected.
"So it is." Gu Wuji's face sank, thinking in his heart, "I'd better wake up and borrow some tools to leave the village and go outside for help. It is estimated that there is no safe place in this village."
After that, Gu Wuji continued to leave the bound Specter here, and called the other two to go back to sleep.
Yang Shao and Xiao Qin walked back to the hall in a daze, thinking back to what Li Gui had said before. In such a terrifying situation, their hearts should have been filled with yīn haze, but when they thought of the harmonious picture of Gu Wuji and Li Gui's dialogue, they felt that there was nothing...
In short, it was too shocking, the two of them couldn't fall asleep at all, but were thinking randomly in their minds.
As for Gu Wuji, he fell asleep the moment he lay on the ground, and nothing could stop him from falling asleep quickly.
No one noticed that not only did the mist outside the house not dissipate, but it seemed to be thicker, and there were countless ghosts hidden in it, making the scalp tingle.
A figure holding an umbrella slowly walked through the fog, and the other ghosts retreated in horror as if they had encountered some natural enemy. The figure turned his head to see where Gu Wuji was in the house, then turned and left.
Even if these lonely ghosts don't have much sanity, when they look at this back, they unconsciously put on their faces with respect.
——
The next day, the villagers who delivered the breakfast were surprised to find that everyone in the house was doing well, especially the carelessness, the spirit was so good, and it seemed that they had never tossed around in the evening.
Yang Shao and Xiao Qin had dark circles under their eyes, which looked very difficult.
Although Xiao Qin didn't completely recover his memory, he also remembered some things about dealing with ghosts, but the more this happened, the more he felt that Gu Wuji was cheating.
In short, both of them have probably accepted the fact that Gu Wuji is a terrible man.
As for the Specter that was originally bound behind the house has disappeared, and only some debris is left in place, and no one knows what happened.
Gu Wuji thought that this matter could not be delayed, and said everything that he had guessed. Of course, taking into account Young Master Yang's mood, he did not say anything about the grievances of the rich and powerful, but said that there seems to be a strange mold in this village that can infect people, and those who are infected will have the illusion of seeing ghosts... And the village chief There is also a problem, it seems that the village is blocked for something.
Yang Shao and Xiao Qin: "..." Do you really still think it's an illusion?
Although the other two thought it was something miraculous, they also realized that this village was unusual, and did not question Gu Wuji's words, but said that they would be careful.
"Today I'm going to go to a villager's house near the house where I lived the day before yesterday to borrow a jiāo pass." Gu Wuji said.
Gu Wuji's proposal did not get everyone's approval, and the other two did not experience strange things personally, and always felt that it should be a misunderstanding.
"The two of us are going to see the old man who was introduced by the village chief who can make coffins today." Duan Hongbo said, "It should be fine."
Gu Wuji couldn't stop them, thinking that it should be no problem to bring people back quickly.
Yang Shao and Xiao Qin certainly didn't agree, but they felt an unprecedented sense of security in Gu Wuji, and they still had the courage to leave Gu Wuji's side... Not to mention that the family the day before yesterday was also one of the seven houses. There might be something else to investigate.
So the two of them both agree with Gu Wuji very much on the surface, saying that they are willing to help with anything.
In this way, the people divided into two groups in the village.
The village is quite big, and it doesn't seem so shabby in the daytime. There are still a lot of villagers, but they don't have much contact with the outside world, and it seems a little strange in all aspects.
Originally, the villagers were very resistant to these outsiders, but after all, Gu Wushang was quite good, and began to help out in various ways in the village.
To be honest, Young Master Yang and Xiao Qin were both shocked. They didn't expect Gu Wuji to be so kind and help people to farm! And his strength is too amazing.
... At first, others still wanted to reject Gu Wuji, but Gu Wuji did a really good job, and he always greeted people with a smile, making it difficult for people to treat him coldly.
In this way, Gu Wuji also gained the favor of many villagers and got some inside information about the village.
"The family you lived in the day before yesterday was also a sinner. About ten years ago, some rumors suddenly appeared, saying that as long as you sacrifice to the ghosts in that house, your wishes can be fulfilled... This must be false!" The villager's face was complicated and somewhat frightened
The look on his face, if he hadn't thought it was really nice to care about others, he wouldn't want to say such a thing.
"But they really want a son, so they put the eldest daughter... We don't know very well, and we haven't seen the eldest daughter since. The little girl cried and called that miserable, but I won't be able to see my sister in the future. Nothing more."
Hearing the villager's words, the expressions of the three were different, but they all realized that what the villager said was very important.
"It's so sinful. They said they got lost. Who in this village doesn't know the real inside story! In the end, I didn't give birth to a son, and I lost my life yesterday. This is also the revenge of the ghost." The villagers' tone was very sigh .
Gu Wuji also sighed, he remembered that he saw mold in the house that night. It is estimated that the couple was infected with mold and hallucinated, thinking that the eldest daughter would commit suicide when she came back.
Superstition is so tragic, such a tragedy could have been avoided completely. I don't know what happened to the girl, she looks like a minor, and I don't know if I can help.
"Ten years ago," Yang Shao keenly noticed the problem, "I heard that the first sacrifices in this village were decades ago. Can they do this?"
The expressions of fear on the faces of the villagers became even more serious, and when they saw that there was no one around, they whispered: "It is said that as long as a replacement sacrifice can be found, the original sacrifice can be freed, and it can even help others realize it. Wish... But I didn't even think about it, after all, it's all a ghost."
Yang Shao's heart suddenly burst. In this way, there may not only be seven ghosts in this village, but an unknown number of ghosts.
"It turns out that, thank you very much." Gu Wuji thanked him again, and then asked the other party where he could leave the village as quickly as possible.
The villager shook his head and sighed again, "You came at such a bad time. Before and after the event, it was impossible for this village to leave... If you want to live, you should keep a low profile these days, and you shouldn't what will happen."
"That event, the village chief seems to have also mentioned it." Gu Wuji asked, "But he didn't make it clear, what exactly did he do?"
"You must all know the rumors. It is said that the seal composed of the seven sacrifices will be loosened every once in a while, so the village will hold a ceremony. It used to be a very important ceremony, but now it is just an entertainment activity. People in the village are actors and act out what happened in the past."
This is quite normal, except that the legends are a bit scary, and other activities are no different from other places. Gu Wuji and others can fully understand it.
Only Yang Shao knew that the day this ceremony was held was the last day of the dungeon, and they didn't have much time to investigate in this dungeon.
The villager said again: "Although it is already an entertainment activity, there will always be some problems before and after each activity... Especially you people from outside the country, it is very dangerous. Once there were people from other places who came to visit the performance, they were all on their way back. There was an accident and he died on the way, and no one was willing to come after this reputation spread."
"No wonder this village can't develop tourism." Xiao Qin couldn't help but whisper. Originally there were such rumors, and the village chief had another troubled face, but now there is still no one coming.
