() Chu Huan asked with a smile: "Could it be that you have met the people in the village?"

The mask said humanely: "Actually, the people in the village have moved away, and someone nearby has seen it. I happened to meet a few people and asked about it, but they knew a little about it."

"Oh?" Chu Huan thought for a while and said, "I can light a fire at any time. It's cold outside. Would you like to sit there? By the way, we seem to have some dry food."

The masked man didn't refuse. Chu Huan led the man back to his resting room. Sun Zikong and the others quickly lit a fire. When the fire lit up, the man's mask could be seen more clearly. Chu Huan saw his mask The lower left eye is really a big group of scars, and it is really only one eye, but the light of the other eye is very sharp.

"I don't know your name yet?" Sitting down by the fire, Chu Huan asked someone to fetch dry food, and handed a portion to the person, which was two pieces of cake. The person took it and replied: " My surname is Qiu, you can call me Lao Qiu!"

"Chou?" Chu Huan wondered, "This surname is really rare." He asked, "Brother Qiu saw the villagers, did they say that the dog corpse on the tree was haunted by ghosts?"

"That's right." Old Chou, the masked man, nodded slightly, "According to what they said, not long ago, unimaginable and strange things were discovered in many villages."

"Strange thing?"

"Someone disappeared for no reason." Old Qiu said: "At the beginning, in one village, two or three people suddenly suffered from ghost nightmares...!"

"Dare to ask brother Qiu, how to explain this nightmare?"

"It's ghost possession." Lao Qiu said lightly: "Although he can walk, he doesn't speak, his eyes are dull, and he does what others tell him to do. It's like sleepwalking, and he won't close his eyes when he sleeps at night. Eyes... in other words, they don't have to sleep."

Sun Zikong shuddered, "Don't you need to sleep?"

Old Qiu nodded and said, "That's right. Those people don't close their eyes for three or four days, like walking corpses, without saying a word."

"What happened after that?"

"You can't rest, and the human body is naturally not as good as one day." Lao Qiu said slowly: "Even so, those people still don't sleep day and night. There is no way in the village. They all feel that they are bewitched by evil spirits. Later, they found The Taoist priest came, and when the Taoist priest saw it, he said that they were suffering from ghost nightmares, and those people were possessed by evil spirits...!"

Chu Huan smiled lightly and did not speak.

"When the villagers heard about this, they were naturally afraid, and begged the Taoist priest to expel the ghosts. The Taoist priest had already agreed, but after the Taoist priest set up the execution ground, the villagers discovered that the men who had suffered from ghosts and nightmares had disappeared. , lost track." Old Chou's voice was hoarse, and in this dark night, it was a bit strange, "The villagers looked around but couldn't find it, and at that moment, a dead dog appeared in the village."

Chu Huan asked: "So they think the dead dog is related to ghosts?"

"The dogs that were used to guard the house in the village all died quietly. At first, the villagers only found that the dogs were missing, but soon they found that all the dogs in the village were hung on the treetops." Old Qiu said: "It is said that the villagers They specifically looked for a Taoist priest to calculate this matter, and after the Taoist priest calculated it, he ran away in a hurry, and the villagers caught up with him, and the Taoist priest claimed that it was caused by resentful spirits."

"Those villagers believe these lies?" Chu Huan sneered.

"Why don't they believe it?" Old Qiu said, "The dog corpses hanging on the treetops cannot be done by human power. And those who have been haunted by ghosts, how to explain?" He took a bite of the cake "After this happened, the same thing happened in other villages soon. The people in the village suffered from ghosts one after another, and then disappeared quickly. The villagers all said that those people were killed by ghosts. The ghost took it away... At first it was just a rumor, but later someone saw the ghost appearing with their own eyes."

Chu Huan frowned.

"In another village not far from here, there was a villager who suffered from a ghostly nightmare and stayed up all day and night, because other people who had been hit by ghostly nightmares would soon disappear, so this person's family was very careful, day and night Send someone to stay by the side." Lao Qiu said softly: "That night, this man's wife stayed by the side all the time, when the night was quiet, she heard a strange sound, and then saw her husband get up from the bed, Walking out the door like a ghost...!"

Sun Zikong felt hairy all over his body, and when he approached Ma Zheng, he felt a little unsafe, so he couldn't help holding Ma Zheng's hand. Ma Zheng couldn't help but glanced at him, and saw the corners of Sun Zikong's eyes twitching, knowing that he was afraid, he let him grab him. Hold my hand.

"The woman didn't know what happened, and she followed her husband out of the house. Although she was afraid, she didn't dare to disturb her husband. According to the people here, if he wakes him up while sleepwalking, his soul will leave his body. The woman only thought that her husband was sleepwalking, so she didn't dare to disturb her. When she left the house, the woman saw a shadow standing not far from her door. The shadow was dressed in black and held a white banner in his hand. ...!"

"Bai Ban?" Chu Huan was a little surprised when he heard this strange scene.

"That's right, the black shadow is holding a white banner in his hand, which is the white banner that was placed on the grave after death." Lao Qiu said calmly: "The woman was so frightened that she almost fainted, and she watched her husband approaching the ghost. In the past, the ghost held a white flag and led the way, and the man followed the ghost mysteriously, walking farther and farther, and the woman wanted to catch up, but her feet were too frightened to move, and she couldn't even make a sound...! "

At this time, not only Sun Zikong's face turned pale, but Ma Zheng and Liu Suifeng also showed a slight look of terror in their eyes.

"It wasn't until the next day that the family found the woman lying in front of the door. After waking up, the woman told everyone what she had seen. When they moved out of the village, more than a dozen people had disappeared from the village...!" Lao Qiu also took off the water bag around his waist and took a sip, "This happened in several villages one after another, no one dared to live there, one They all moved elsewhere...!"

There was silence in the house, and there was a gust of cold wind outside. After a while, Chu Huan asked, "Brother Qiu, do you know who are the people who disappeared in the village?"

"Almost all males." Old Qiu said, "They are in their prime."

Chu Huan rubbed his chin and said, "If it's really ghosts, why did they only take away men? Old and weak, women and children, why didn't anything happen? According to common sense, men in their prime have the heaviest yang energy, and they are Ghosts are also afraid of three points. On the contrary, those old and weak women and children have the possibility of ghosts invading...!"

Old Chou stared at Chu Huan and asked, "Your Excellency, do you think there is something strange about this?"

Chu Huan thought for a while and said, "I'm just wondering why those ghosts would suddenly appear in various villages at such a time, and why they only took away the men?"

"Brother, I don't know if I've heard a word before."

"What?"

"There are changes in the world, and the demons dance wildly." Lao Qiu said: "When there is an accident in the world, there will be hunger and death everywhere, blood will fill the sky, the universe will be dislocated, and the world of yang will be in turmoil. It is time to enter the yang world from the gate of ghosts, to do evil in the yang world, to act recklessly, and to dance with demons."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Brother, do you believe such rumors?"

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not." Lao Qiu said lightly, "However, the common people here have already firmly believed in this. They have spread the word in private that the reason for the appearance of ghosts in the world is because there will be changes in the Great Qin Dynasty, and the world will be dislocated. , the current emperor, even the evil spirits of the world are not convinced, they came out of the gate of hell, just to disturb the country of the Great Qin, only when the country changes hands and the gate of ghosts is closed, the demons will fall back into hell...!"

"Absurd words are not worth refuting." Chu Huan sneered and said, "What kind of evil ghosts are nothing more than someone trying to use this cholera to shake the hearts of the people and shake the foundation of the country."

Lao Qiu let out an "oh" and said, "So, your Excellency doesn't believe such rumors? Do you think all of this is done by someone behind the scenes?"

"Treetop hooks are naturally very unusual for ordinary people." Chu Huan said: "But there may not be anyone in the world who can do it. Brother Qiu is a martial artist. You should know that as long as you have a good lightness kung fu, It’s not very difficult to do that.”

Lao Qiu nodded and said: "Although the words are good, such lightness kung fu is rare, and it requires a top-notch lightness kung fu master. If it is really artificial, with their kung fu, they can do greater things, why do they pretend to be gods? How many villages to fight? And the villagers have been haunted by ghosts, how to explain it?" He took a sip of water, "It's easy for you to convince me, but those people may not believe your words. Such rumors have begun to spread in Anyi Road, You have to know that people's words are terrible, and the people's worries are more serious than those of Fangchuan. Once this hole is opened, it won't take long for the rumors to spread. The rumors of the troubled times will definitely be believed...!"

Chu Huan frowned. This matter seemed strange, and it didn't seem like a big deal, but if these rumors spread everywhere, Anyi would probably fall into turmoil.

The most important thing is that now Anyi Huang's family has rebelled, and Huang Tianyi embattled Yusuo Lake to confront the officers and soldiers. The power and influence of Huang's family in Anyi will not disappear easily. If Huang's family uses such messages to agitate the people, Anyi The situation in the town was afraid that there would be even greater changes. Chu Huan cast his eyes out of the window. The night was dark and the wind was high. He couldn't help but think in his heart that these strange things happened in these villages. Could it really be Huang Tianyi? Sending people to pretend to be gods and ghosts in Anyi to confuse the people?

"This kind of thing, we can't control it if we want." Chu Huan sighed, and said with a smile: "I just hope we don't encounter those ghosts. By the way, Brother Qiu is also traveling all the way. I don't know where we are going?"

"Look for someone." Old Chou picked up the hemp package beside him, "Look for a friend. I owe him something. I have traveled all over the world. I want to find him and return the thing to him." He got up, took the Picking up the coarse cloth package, he walked to the door, turned around, glanced at Chu Huan, saw that Chu Huan was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other without speaking. In the dark.
