The retreat room seemed a little narrow, surrounded by cobwebs and dust. There were only two cross windows hanging on the wall. Warm sunlight penetrated through the glass, bringing a little light to the room.
A huge coffin occupies about one-fifth of the entire retreat room.
"It's all garlic, it's used for exorcism." The dean took the initiative to give Su Mo a popular science, and looked around curiously.
After all, she had never actually entered this retreat room.
"This is?" Su Mo looked forward, but happened to see a skeleton wearing a priest's uniform kneeling in front of the cross, his hands seemed to be in a praying position.
"Ouch."
After all, it was just a woman. Suddenly seeing the skeleton, the dean let out an exclamation, and quickly hid behind Su Mo.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a skeleton." Su Mo comforted helplessly.
He looked at the photo frame hanging on the wall next to him, took it off and held it in his hand: "The clothes of this corpse are the same as those in the photo."
"Ah? Father Qi?" After a careful comparison, the dean widened his eyes: "He is the previous missionary."
After confirming his identity, most of the fear on the dean's face dissipated, and he even dared to go directly behind the skeleton and kneel down, and then began to make prayer gestures.
Perhaps this is the power of faith. 12
"It turns out that you didn't give up your priesthood. The church thought you were leaving without permission. In fact, you have been here to fight against demons. I will explain it to the church for you. Rest in peace, Father!"
The voice of the dean's prayer seemed a bit dull in the narrow space, while Su Mo looked back and forth, and his eyes finally fell on the second photo frame: "Who is this?"
The dean turned his head and glanced, and replied, "He is Father Fall."
"More than ten years ago, two priests came to run the church. Father Qi was attacked by the devil. I think that Father Farr will not escape the disaster!"
"It's hard to escape if you don't have enough mana." Su Mo sighed quietly, and many memories suddenly flashed in his mind.
Maoshan is one of the lineages of the Shangqing, one of the leaders of the righteous way, whether it is the heaven or the underworld, there are connections.
However, more Maoshan disciples do not enjoy this benefit.
Because in this world, not only cultivators slay demons and eliminate demons, but also demons wreak havoc on the world and devour human beings.
Many Maoshan disciples died at the hands of demons, and even their souls could not be left.
For example, zombies, as long as they die in the hands of zombies, they will either turn into new zombies and wreak havoc on the common people, or they will be wiped out by other cultivators, and their souls will be scattered!
This is considered a war between two ethnic groups, you will live and die, there is no mercy!
"There must have been a very brutal fight back then."
The dean stood up now, and pointed to the messy surroundings: "Look, the Bible has been burned black, the holy water has been overturned, and garlic is hanging everywhere. It seems that they lost the fight and their lives were taken by the devil. went!"
"Impossible." Su Mo squatted down and looked at the skeleton covered with spider webs: "If the devil killed him, how could the villagers of Quanchang Village come and go safely in the past ten years? I think he won Already!"
"It's just that after winning, he committed suicide."
"Suicide?" The dean frowned: "Why commit suicide after winning? Impossible."
"look."
Su Mo pointed to the cross pierced into the heart: "This is the evidence. He held the cross with both hands and pierced it into his heart, which led to his death."
The dean looked at the cross, but Su Mo focused on the neck of the skeleton.
Finally, not long after, he found two tooth marks on a bone in his neck.
"Sure enough! That's why he committed suicide."
"What's the reason?" the dean raised his head and asked.
Su Mo rested his fingers lightly on the two teeth marks, feeling the faint yin energy that hadn't dissipated for more than ten years: "After fighting the evil dragon for a long time, I will turn into a new evil dragon myself. Bitten by the devil If you are injured, you will turn into a new devil yourself!"
Hearing this, the dean fell silent, as if he had thought of something, but he couldn't say it in the end.
Su Mo didn't continue talking, but looked at a black notebook in front of the skeleton: "This is?"
He opened the note and found that it was written in dense English, and the time was clearly recorded at the top of each page.
"It seems to be his diary."
"Diary?" The dean also looked at the notebook, but she was dizzy from reading the English in the notebook.
Although she promotes the Western Church, she has never been to the West herself, and she knows nothing about foreign languages.
"Dean, can you lend me this diary, and I'll return it after reading it." Su Mo said suddenly.
"Mr. Su can read and understand foreign language?" The dean was a little surprised.
"I have learned it before, so I can probably understand it."
The dean hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Then, well, Mr. Su must keep it carefully. After all, it is something left by the previous priest. I have an obligation to ensure its integrity."
"I understand, thank you very much." Su Mo patted the dust on the notebook, wrapped it with a piece of white paper, and stuffed it into his pocket.
When the two walked out of the church, it happened that Uncle Jiu rushed over with a group of people.
"How, did you find anything?" Uncle Jiu glanced at the church.
"No." Su Mo glanced nonchalantly at the bat hiding on the roof in the dark, and said, "This place is very clean, no bats were found."
"strangeness......"
Hearing this, Uncle Jiu frowned slightly: "I searched all around, but I didn't find any bat nests, so where did those bats come from before?"
"Uncle Jiu, what should we do?" the village chief asked from behind.
After thinking about it for a while, Uncle Jiu replied: "Forget it, let's ignore the bat thing for now, let's find a new water source quickly, so as not to dig a well temporarily."
The group left, but Su Mo stayed in the church, sitting on a wooden bench beside him in the sunlight, and flipped through the notes in his hand.
Due to the long-term sealing, the title page of the notebook has turned yellow, and a decaying smell comes from it, and the handwriting on it has also become very faint, but fortunately, it can be barely recognized.
"July [-]th: The church was completed today. This is the painstaking effort of Farr and I. It took half a year. I hope to bring the light of the Lord to the people in this village!"
"July [-]th: I was preaching in the village with Farr, but the people in this village seem to believe in the local gods. For a whole day, we didn't recruit a single believer... Alas, we will come back in a few days." Let's see."
The next few pages were filled with insignificant trifles, so Su Mo had no choice but to skip and read.
"August [-]th: Farr is a bit strange today. He was praying alone in the house, but when I went in, he quickly hid the things for prayer, as if he was frightened by me."
"September [-]th: For more than a month, Farr has become more and more strange. He often shuts himself in the room to pray. I don't even know who he is praying to, and Farr sees The gaze towards me also became very strange, as if... as if looking at a piece of food!".
Chapter 74
"October [-]th: Farr's face is getting paler and paler, I feel like he has a serious illness, and bloodshot eyes are starting to appear in his eyes, he shut himself in the room to pray again today, when I passed by his door , seems to hear the sound of chewing, and there is a faint smell of blood."
"October [-]: Lord! I sneaked into Farr's prayer room today while he was out, and found him praying to a Reverse Cross! This is blasphemy against the Lord, it is the devil's Sign! Moreover, under the inverse cross, there is still half an unfinished corpse!"
"October 21: Sure enough, he knew I had been in his prayer room."
"October 22: Crazy! Farr is completely crazy! He had a terminal illness two years ago and had a premonition that he was going to die, but he was not reconciled. In order to continue to live, and even obtain eternal life, he He was actually praying to the devil, willing to let himself become a member of the devil! And his wife, Mrs. Bates, was bitten by him and turned into a devil!"
"October [-]th: After a hard struggle, I defeated the devil... Farr, you are my best friend after all. I buried your body in this beautiful village. May the Lord forgive me the iniquity of your body."
"October [-]: It's strange, I feel that the wound on my neck is a little itchy these days... that's where I was accidentally bitten by Farr during the fight, and I always do it these nights nightmare."
"November [-]st: Oh my god! I found that I have grown fangs, I have become afraid of the sun, and I am even very sensitive to the smell of blood. I can feel the longing in my heart, I am longing for blood... ...God, who can come and save me!"
"November [-]th: Lord, forgive me! Forgive me! If I don't make a decision, I will completely turn into a new devil. Forgive me!"
The diary ended here, and Su Mo was able to roughly infer what happened at that time.
After being bitten, Father Qi, who had a premonition that he was about to become a devil, committed suicide in the retreat room and pierced his heart with a cross!
In the Western Holy See, those who commit suicide are all guilty, and their souls cannot ascend to heaven.
Therefore, when this priest committed suicide, he would always pray to the Lord to forgive him.
"In other words, the Western zombie in the movie should be Father Farr. According to records... this Father Farr first became a vampire, and then was killed by Father Qi`."
"Then Father Qi buried its body, and after it was dug up, it turned into a zombie... A zombie with a part of vampire blood, so there must be something wrong with the place where the body was buried!"
Su Mo made a conclusion in his mind.
Westerners don't understand Eastern Feng Shui knowledge, so they usually choose a random place to bury the corpse.
"Mr. Su."
At this moment, the dean also led a group of Yingying and Yanyan over, and asked cautiously, "What is written in this diary?"
Su Mo hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything about Father Far, but just handed the diary back to the dean: "It's nothing, it's just a record of Father Qi's daily life in recent years, it's all complicated and trivial things, nothing important .”
"Understood." The dean carefully put the diary away carefully.
"Then thank you for the hospitality." Su Mo smiled at the others: "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
After speaking, he turned his head and walked outside.
A girl in a priest's gown finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "That...Mr. Su, you can come here often when you have nothing to do."
"You damn girl."
The dean slapped her on the back of the head: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"what the hell."
The girl rubbed the back of her head and pursed her mouth in aggrieved way: "It's not me who wants to ask this question alone, I just ask my sisters together."
"Ugh."
The dean sighed helplessly: "Don't stand still, work quickly, and move the cross to the roof before it gets dark."
After Su Mo left the church, he walked straight towards the back mountain.
Since the priest was killed, there should be no problem with the body, so it can only be that there is something wrong with the place of burial. He is going to go and inspect it on the spot.
When Su Mo arrived, he found a large group of people gathered there.
The village chief obviously knew about Su Mo's relationship with Uncle Jiu, so he asked softly, "Mr. Su, how do we find water here?"
Su Mo laughed and said, "To find the source of water, you don't have to go to the place where the mountain streams and springs flow, but to see where the water veins gather. This is where the water veins of Quanchang Village gather."
In the distance, Uncle Jiu was in Taoist robes, surveying the water level.
"Master!"
Qiu Sheng came running from afar, with a look of admiration on his face: "Master, I really admire you. The two mountains are separated by half a mile, and the water level in the west is two feet higher. You can measure it."
Uncle Jiu was expressionless, looked at the record in his hand, looked around at the surrounding mountains, and then pointed to the distance: "The source of the water, I think it is at the dragon's waist of the mountain, go up and look for it immediately."
"Yes." Qiu Sheng nodded, and then ran again.
Su Mo also came over at this moment: "Senior brother, I will lend you a few magic weapons."
"Go ahead and use it." Uncle Jiu nodded in agreement.
Su Mo picked up a gossip plate from the altar, and there was a round ink bead on the plate. There was a small hole in the ink bead, and a red thread passed through the hole.
He picked up the talisman, shook his fingers, and the talisman burned, and then put the burning talisman in the middle of the gossip plate.
"Male and female help each other, heaven and earth live together, use yang to find yin!"
The burning flame gradually became smaller, and finally curled up into the Tai Chi in the middle of the eight trigrams plate, making the Tai Chi emit a dazzling fire.
The flame spread along the red rope, and finally touched the ink bead.
"Beep-beep-beep-"
The ink beads danced on the gossip plate, and finally reached the edge of the plate.
Su Mo walked in the direction of the beating ink beads, and finally came to a blank wasteland.
The ink bead suddenly jumped out of the gossip tray and landed on the ground without moving.
"It should be here!" Su Mo's eyelids twitched, and he concluded that the vampire's body was buried under this land.
(are you okay)
Uncle Jiu also finished his work at the moment, and walked over: "Junior brother, what did you find wrong?"
"here."
Su Mo pointed to the place where the ink beads stayed: "This place should be the place where the yin and yin gather. All the yin, evil and bad luck in the entire Quanchang village gather here."
"The place where Yin gathers?" Uncle Jiu frowned, and turned his head to look at the sign he had erected in the distance.
