Holy Bone

Chapter 165 The truth of Taoyuan Village
Taoyuan Village after nightfall.

Sing and dance.

With wine banquets and bonfires, each family actively took out their own good things to hold a village banquet.

There was a din of voices.

The urchins were running around in the crowd.

The enthusiasm of the whole village was high, and they even put on new clothes, which was more lively than the festivals.

The night is silent and dark, and it is the hour of Hai.

Haishi is also called people's steadiness and tranquility.

It means that the night is already deep at this time, and the living people stop their activities, and it is time to rest and sleep. Don't run around and make loud noises, so as not to provoke something into the house.

But Taoyuan Village is lively at this time, with singing and dancing, but it runs counter to the warnings of the ancestors.

Song Fangping's family.

Outside the door of the room where Jin An and the others were "sleeping", there were whispers of Song Fangping and his wife, as well as some obscure sounds.

It's just that it's pitch black outside the door.

Song Fangping and his wife did not light the lamp.

So you can't see anything through the crack of the door.

But listening to the movement, it seems that the couple are busy with some nighttime activities between the couple and don't want to be seen by outsiders.

suddenly.

creak.

In the quiet room, there was some movement, like an old wooden door hinge that had been dilapidated for a long time, and there was a sound like the moans of an old man on a sick bed.

Song Fangping and his wife's room suddenly stopped.

In the pitch-black room without lights, it suddenly fell into dead silence, and the darkness was like a big stone oppressing one's breath.

Everything was quietly still, filled with a strange sense of oppression.

I always feel that in the invisible darkness, there seems to be an invisible figure standing there with straight eyes.

I don't know how long this silent oppressive feeling of darkness lasted. Suddenly, outside the door of Jin'an's "sleeping" room, which was supposed to be empty, there was the sound of someone walking away, and the sound of footsteps outside the door kept echoing. In the room of Song Fangping and his wife.

When exactly did Song Fangping walk out of the door without a sound?How long did you lie on the door and look into the room?No one found out.

"Damn ghost, why have you been here for so long?"

"Just like you are grinding your gun before the battle, I want to wait for you to feed me, I have been starved to death by you. Quick, quick, come here quickly, I can't bear it anymore, old lady."

From Song Fangping's room came his wife's angry and low-pitched curses, scolding her man for being slow, scolding her man for being useless, which made her unhappy.

In the dimly lit room with no lights on, Song Fangping, a woman with a heavy chest and two round petals, was sitting at the dressing table, and she was doing makeup in a gorgeous way.

The clothes on his body were also changed into clean new clothes.

The new clothes were embroidered with floral patterns, the style was outdated and obsolete, like an old thing from a long time ago, but she cherished it very much, and would only take it out of the closet to wear on major festivals such as New Years and holidays.

just.

The person reflected in the vanity mirror didn't look human at all. The woman Song Fangping didn't control her strength when combing her hair. She gently combed her hair with a wooden comb, and the thick black hair of a woman was pulled off by the comb.That piece of black hair pulled at the scalp, tearing off most of the scalp and face, exposing the bloody muscles of the abscess.

It's like dead pork has been left to rot for too long, the sebum has rotted and lost its elasticity, and a large piece of flesh will be grabbed with a light grip.

At this time, Song Fangping's mother-in-law wanted to regain her scalp and face, and put it on herself again, but she was always inaccurate in the position of the back of her head, and every time she put her nose and face on her face.

Women love beauty.

Looking at her own ugly appearance in the mirror made her unbearable, and she wished she could scratch her own face.

She was so angry that she cursed and asked her man to come over and help her reattach her scalp and face.

"You bitch, there is a man in the family and you still dress up in such a gorgeous way all day long. You are taking advantage of other men all day long. On the contrary, I am busy working outside all day long. I don't see you a few times. You are not afraid that your man will be jealous of me."

There were footsteps in the darkness, and behind the plump woman reflected in the vanity mirror, a tall and burly man was already standing. While helping the woman to reattach the torn scalp and human face, the man scolded his wife for her indecent life .

Song Fangping's mother-in-law was not to be outdone: "Then hurry up and eat me, I wish you could eat me every day, I feel itchy all over my body every day, and there are many white insects crawling around under the skin. You eat me now, let me see if there are many white worms crawling around in my body?"

Song Fangping's mother-in-law writhed her limbs, the two heavy lumps on her chest made her feel unbearably itchy, her body was so itchy, there were countless bugs crawling around.She turned her head to look at her man, her watery peach eyes were so eager to pinch water out, but her crooked face made one of her eyes crooked, without any sense of beauty.And under the skin that was not covered by the face, there were strips of white maggots drilling in and out, which looked like tiny lotus holes.

"You flirtatious woman who hooks up with men all day long, do you really think I dare not eat you?" Song Fangping's crimson and greedy eyes were reflected in the makeup mirror.

"You useless thing, if you want to eat it, eat it quickly, my mother is itching to death now, and I will go to the village banquet after eating, hurry up, I can't help it."

"Okay! You flirtatious slut, you are dressed so beautifully today just to show off to the strangers who come to the village? Do you fancy that young Taoist priest with delicate skin and tender meat, who looks delicious at first sight? I told you to be watery, I told you to cheat, I told you to have a man in your family and still miss the man outside! I'm going to bite you bitch!"

ho ho... uh... ho ho ho—

goo go go go-

The sound of eating minced meat came from the room.

But suddenly, the sound of eating in the room stopped.

"Why did you suddenly stop moving, you useless ghost? Hurry up, hurry up, I'm so sorry."

"Girl, I seemed to hear something at the door just now, and there seemed to be someone standing at the door just now..."

In the room with a strange and cold atmosphere, it was completely dark, no one could see what was going on in the room, only one door was wide open.

The doorway was dark and open, empty, not even a single person was there.

"Damn you, why don't you close the door when you enter the house."

"I'm going to close the door now."

"Damn ghost, go and come back quickly, don't make me wait too long, I'm still waiting for you to finish eating me."

"Bah, you're an unfamiliar bastard."

Song Fangping was still cursing a moment ago, but the next moment, without warning, Song Fangping's head suddenly poked out from the darkness. At this time, his eyes were slightly red, and there was still meat in his mouth. Silk strips, I don't know if I ate too much pork head for dinner tonight.

He glanced at the door.

See no one outside the door.

The numb, lifeless red eyes stared straight at the opposite room where Jin An and the others slept. Seeing that there was no movement in the opposite room, the door slammed shut.

Not long after, the sound of chewing meat came from the room again.

ho ho ho-

……

……

People have three fires, namely the left and right shoulders and the top of the head.

Jin An, who was temporarily covered by three drops of corpse oil on the center of the eyebrows and on both shoulders by the old Taoist, temporarily covered the three fires of the living. Instead, he climbed over the wall and was discharged from the hospital, and began to wander around Taoyuan Village.

Inquire about the information in Taoyuan Village.

However, only Jin An came out tonight, and the others did not bring out, but stayed at Song Fangping's house, just in case.

In case the villagers of Taoyuan Village suddenly go crazy and want to eat people, the old Taoist priests and the others can support him for a while, carry him and rush back.

And for him who possesses the life-saving talisman of the Five Thunder Slaying Evil Talisman, it is more beneficial for him to hide his whereabouts by acting alone.

Although Jin'an's three yang fires were temporarily covered by corpse oil to cover up the breath of a living person, now he is a dead person in the eyes of the dead in Taoyuan Village.

Only the living can see him.

The dead cannot see him.

But on the way to Jin'an, if you can avoid it, try to avoid the villagers of Taoyuan Village.

However, he also secretly tried to show up in front of a few lonely villagers, and those villagers turned a blind eye to him and walked past him.

However, Jin An walked around Taoyuan Village without finding anything.On the contrary, there were fewer and fewer people walking along the road, because most of the villagers rushed to the back of the village, where the whole village banquet was being arranged in full swing.

At last.

Jin An's eyes pondered for a while.

He also started walking towards the back of the village.

If Jin An remembers the location correctly, it is the place where the men and women's leather flags stand.

On the way, I met more and more villagers. The villagers of Taoyuan Village were all wearing new clothes that they would only wear out during the festivals.

Moreover, some of these people are carrying fresh fruit baskets in their hands.

Some people were carrying a large white pig that had just been disemboweled and freshly slaughtered. The pork was fine-skinned and tender, with a fat head and big ears. It looked exquisitely raised.

Some people, the whole family, old and young, set out to carry tables and benches, intending to dedicate them to the village for holding the whole village banquet.

And Jin An walked among the villagers on this road, and he was safe and sound. No one noticed that a living person had mixed in among them.

Blazing fire.

In a huge open space behind the village, a huge bonfire was lit.

The flames ignited by the bonfire were two stories high, and reflected a large open space around it red and red. At this time, a large number of Taoyuan Village villagers were busy around the bonfire.

There are cries of chefs cooking, roasting whole pigs, and roasting whole lambs.

There were chatter and laughter from the villagers who brought jars of wine from their homes. Those wine jars were covered with mud, and it seemed that they had been treasured in their own cellars for many years.

There is also the chatter of women in the village helping to wash vegetables and pick leaves.

There was also the sound of urchins chasing and fighting.

What a bustling scene.

Looking at the scene in front of me, it is estimated that in a short time, the whole village's banquet will be finished.

Jin An frowned as he watched the chefs in the village borrow fire from the biggest bonfire in the middle of the open space every time they cooked vegetables, roasted whole pigs, roasted whole sheep, roasted beggar chicken, etc. His brows became more and more wrinkled.

The position of the bonfire is exactly the position of the head sacrifice and the men and women's leather banners.

A thoughtful and frightening detail climbed into Jin'an's mind.

Those sticks of firewood used as fuel for the bonfire, shouldn’t they be the countless human heads in the head sacrifice?

So this flame is a phosphorous fire lit by a dead man's head?Also known as ghost fire?
So this table full of wine and food is...?
Jin An thought of the abnormal behavior of Song Fangping and his wife he saw when he was at Song Fangping's house.

Looking at all the things in front of him, it is obvious that the answer is ready to come out.

The source of Taoyuan Village, and the origin of all curses, are related to the bonfire in front of me. This bonfire is the firewood for the existence of Taoyuan Village.

In myths and stories, the mythical figure who brings fire to the world is called Li.

It seems that in the world of the dead, there is also kindling.

"Not enough, not enough, let the fire burn up."

"Today's fire is not strong enough, and it has been delayed for a long time. Today's whole village banquet has been delayed by a stick of incense time compared with the past. We need to continue to add more firewood, otherwise the stew will not be cooked. Just in case the people who came to the village today Those outsiders didn't enjoy their meal, they thought it was because our Taoyuan Village was shabby. When we receive guests in Taoyuan Village, we must bring out the best food."

The head of Taoyuan Village stood in front of the huge burning bonfire and shouted.

The red light of the flames dyed the whole body of the old patriarch with white beard and hair black and red, black and red.

Immediately, some villagers echoed: "Patriarch, I will add a handful of firewood right away."

But he was empty-handed, and he didn't have any dry wood for the fire in his hand, so he plunged into the campfire, dying like a moth to the flame, and the flames of the campfire grew stronger.

"Hahaha, I'm here to add another fire, meat that doesn't rotten is not delicious."

Another villager rushed into the bonfire with moths.

These villagers were crazy and fanatical, one by one like moths to the fire, until more than a dozen people died, the bonfire became more and more prosperous, and the patriarch joyfully said that the fire was enough, enough.At the same time, the aroma of minced meat by the campfire became stronger.

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, the patriarch began to order people to go to Song Fangping's house, and invited Jin'an and the others to come to the village banquet to welcome the outsiders.

Afterwards, several villagers began to run towards Song Fangping's house.And behind the buttocks of those adult villagers, bouncing around followed a few children with big farts to join in the fun.

Just when Jin An focused his attention on those people, suddenly, pop!
A palm as thin as a chicken's claw grabbed Jin An's wrist.

"Daoist, go, go, go, the people in this village are all crazy, they can't bear it any longer!"

"If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

A disheveled, gray-haired, stooped old woman, dressed in tatters, dirty and smelly, like a beggar madwoman, tremblingly grasping Jin An's wrist .The man shouted anxiously in an indistinct hoarse voice, as if his throat had been injured?

Jin An looked at the old woman like a crazy woman in surprise.

The other party can see him?

living person?

Feeling the weak body temperature from his wrist, like the weak body temperature of a dying candle, Jin An was even more astonished. How could there be a living person in this dead village of Taoyuan Village?
Could it be another outside intruder after them?
"crazy?"

"What's crazy?"

"Old man, do you know anything about this Taoyuan Village?"

Jin An asked, he felt that he was getting closer to the truth.

"go!"

"This village must not live!"

"We have all been deceived, we have all been deceived, Mr. Yuan and the others have deceived our entire village, he is not changing our Taoyuan Village, they are taking the lives of the entire village, selfishly changing their lives Ge! Take the life of a village, just to change the fate of a person! And innocently implicated my two children, is this your punishment for mother?"

When the old woman, like a crazy beggar, said the last sentence, she looked in the direction of the bonfire and cried out in grief.

"My mother is wrong, let's take my mother along."

"After so many years, are you still unwilling to forgive your mother for the mistakes she made back then?"

"Mother really knew it was wrong. Mother shouldn't have listened to the lies of outsiders. Mother shouldn't have left you at the beginning... I beg you to forgive me, don't leave my mother to live alone in the world, washing her face with tears every day and making her voice hoarse." ...For so many years, why have you been refusing to forgive mother, why didn't you take mother away, and let mother live in pain and self-blame every day, mother really knows that she was wrong, so let's take mother away..."

The old woman frantically let go of Jin An's hand and stumbled towards the bonfire.
