Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Seriously Ill
As I found out, the old ghost and Xiao Mi were indeed murdered.
He did not hide anything about this and said frankly that he was killed by the Yin people.
The whole village was dead, only he and Xiao Mi were still alive, the result was predictable.
When the villagers who died suddenly returned to the village, the only two living people became the hot cakes in the eyes of everyone.
Hundreds of ghosts surrounded the house, Xiao Mi was scared and shrank in the house and dared not show her head. The old ghost knelt in front of the door, burned incense and prayed for them to let him go!
Ma Liuzhi shouted that the old ghost and An Ru had an affair. After all, only an old ghost stood up and yelled for An Ru. When An Ru came back, everyone was scared and fled in all directions, only the two of them did not run away, and they were not afraid at all. Isn't it enough to explain something?
For a while, the Yin people were furious, and their ghost nature increased greatly. They broke into the house and sucked him and Xiao Mi dry.
The two people just became the gates for people to vent their anger. The villagers and Ma Liuzhi who killed people had no way back and could only stay here.
Perhaps, this is exactly what Ma Liuzhi wanted.
"But this doesn't make sense!"
I thought about it and said, "There are marks on Xiao Mi's neck. She should have been strangled to death. And you, although I don't know how you died, I guess you didn't die from being drained of your energy, otherwise your death wouldn't be so ugly."
The ghost old man was silent for a moment and said that this was what An Ru did.
After An Ru knew that they died, he came here. A rope was hung on the beam and Xiao Mi was hung up, saying that this would increase his anger. Although he was not a real hanged ghost, a rope cut off his energy, part of which was inside the body and part of which was outside the body, so he was extremely fierce after death, but at least he would not become a good person.
As for him, An Ru threw his body directly on the rocks in the wilderness, leaving the birds in the sky to eat all the flesh and blood. The body was not properly buried, so it was naturally not peaceful after death.
An Ru said that this place was going to change. If you don't have some skills, you can't even settle down here.
This does make some sense. The village where living people live has become a ghost den. The ghosts who are not very powerful can only be reduced to the lowest class here, and will be dominated, or even end up with their souls scattered.
"Did An Ru only appear afterwards?"
I asked, "Didn't Ma Liuzhi go to trouble her at the beginning?"
The villagers were buried alive and crushed to death by the collapsed mountain. In the final analysis, they still had something to hide. When they saw An Ru coming back, they were afraid and ran away. From the cause and effect theory of the underworld, this has something to do with An Ru. When they turned into evil ghosts and returned, they must have found An Ru first.
"Do they dare to look for An Ru?"
The ghost old man asked back: "An Ru had been dead for a long time, and was much more miserable than them. They just became ghosts. Isn't it looking for death to look for An Ru?"
This seems to make some sense.
It seems that the villagers have never changed in this regard. They were like this before and after death.
I asked the ghost old man again if he knew where those villagers were buried alive.
The place where they were buried alive means the graves of all the villagers. Knowing this place is naturally beneficial.
The ghost old man shook his head and said that the place was still far away from the Three Gods Temple and too far from the village. Now there are evil spirits everywhere and the way to survive is cut off. It is impossible for me to walk so far. Even if I walk halfway, I will be washed away by the evil spirit and become a madman.
An Ru only mentioned that place to Old Ghost. To the south of the mountains, there are two extremely high peaks, one called Wild Boar Mountain and the other called Black Tiger Mountain. The two mountains are very close to each other, and below them is a narrow ravine that can be passed by mules and horses. When the earthquake occurred, the villagers were crossing the ravine and were buried alive by the two mountain towers.
Old Ghost also said that a long time ago, that ravine was the only way to get out of Heixiazigou. After the ravine, there was a vast alpine meadow. After walking for another half a day, it was the edge of the Greater Khingan Range, where people and towns could be seen.
I think those villagers wanted to escape directly from Heixiazigou in fear, but ended up ruining themselves.
Old Ghost was naturally very familiar with the place, and knew every plant and tree like the back of his hand. He told me a lot about the ravine, but it was not very helpful to me, and it was difficult for me to make any conclusions based on his description.
I think it must be an extraordinary place.
After all, the period after An Ru chased the villagers away was a completely blank area, and the ghost old man did not witness it with his own eyes.
According to him, this place is extremely evil, and it is not that something extraordinary happened at the beginning.
In other words, when the villagers just died, there was no barrier between Yin and Yang here. People below knew that there were dead people here. The dead villagers should have been taken away by the underworld at the first time, and the new souls were very weak, so it would never happen that hundreds of new souls appeared in the form of evil ghosts and surrounded the Yang house.
In this case, I can only think about Feng Shui. Maybe the place where they were buried alive has unusual Feng Shui, so these new souls are so abnormal.
"You can imagine what happened next."
The ghost old man said: "The three of us are not the same kind of people as Ma Liuzhi, so we were excluded from them. At the beginning, because An Ru was there, and she arranged our bodies, at least we were evenly matched, and Ma Liuzhi didn't dare to do anything to us. Even when he was going to create that ridiculous ghost country, he came to give us a high official position and took the initiative to win us over. The most ridiculous thing is that he said that the bullying of An Ru during his lifetime was the fate between him and An Ru. At the beginning, he wanted An Ru to be his queen, but An Ru refused, so he didn't follow up.
Later, he discovered the secret of the Three Gods Temple and became more and more powerful. This balance was broken. He began to order us to do some things and find so-called sacrifices for him. Now, it's getting more and more excessive..."
Maybe, if it continues for a while, Ma Liuzhi will take their lives!
I sneered in my heart. The things that happened in Heixiazigou have already had a rough outline, and it's really hard for people to say more.
Ignorant villagers, selfish midwives, cowardly and ruthless fathers who can't tell right from wrong, local thugs who take advantage of people's hearts and bully the weak and fear the strong, and victims who accept everything...
The tragedy here can be summed up in two words - stupidity!!
What if...
I mean what if, in this tragedy that has lasted for nearly a hundred years, there is someone who dares to stand up, even if it is An Ru's father, and ask loudly - how did this child hinder you? How did it hurt you?
What if, facing the cold eyes of the villagers, An Ru said one word loudly - no!
In the face of countless injuries, if she could clearly know that it was not her fault...
Perhaps, things would be different.
Unfortunately, from beginning to end, there was no such thing. An Ru believed that she was guilty, and the villagers took it for granted. All the disasters were brewing in silence, and then died in silence...
I glanced at the ghost old man next to me, and suddenly felt, what is the difference between him and An Ru?
A trumped-up charge, he and his granddaughter died, but I found that when he talked about this, he didn't hate Ma Liuzhi at all, as if... he was a sheep, the other party was a wolf, and it was natural for the wolf to eat the sheep!
He subconsciously ignored the fact that he and the other party looked exactly the same.
I suddenly couldn't help laughing, laughing like a lunatic, pointing at the ghost old man and said, you are all sick, terminally ill, Hua Tuo can't save you.
The ghost old man was a little impatient at first, saying how could ghosts be sick, but then he stopped talking, gritted his teeth and said, they are indeed sick, there is no hope.
"When the villagers targeted a baby girl, you did not resist. When Ma Liuzhi persecuted An Ru, you still did not resist. Facing evil, if you do not resist, there will always be a point when evil will devour you."
I looked at the ghost old man coldly: "I bet that death is not the end. You will all be stripped of everything, and you will not even have the chance to survive now. You will be completely shattered. It has been doomed since An Ru was hurt and you kept silent. You are not an exception, and those villagers are not exceptions either."
After saying that, I covered my abdomen and limped on the road.
However, there was always a voice echoing in my heart - anyway, I couldn't bear to watch it.
When I stepped out of the fog and looked at the ruined village again, it was dawn.
I didn't want to stay with the ghost old man for a moment, as if time would make me numb. When I returned to the village, I went directly to An Ru's house to wait for the result of her search for Xiao Mi.
