Like other villages, Qishui Village also has the habit of building tombs on the hillside. On the hillsides in the distance, you can see tombs and tombstones hidden in the weeds everywhere, even in the daytime, it looks a little bit intrusive.

Ji Xingwang looked at the graveyard and asked, "It's a little far away, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Well, but leave a note here first."

Li Ang used a pen and paper to leave a few notes, on which he wrote the experience of his group in Nanzhou characters, especially the situation that the villagers of Qishui Village would turn into evil spirits at night.

He pasted the notes in different places of the temple. At present, the whereabouts of Liao Kaifeng, Yan Yan, Yu Shusheng, and Wang Linian are unknown. If they also come to Qishui Temple, they will be reminded——

Wang Linian held the Righteous Soul Incense in his hand, even if he couldn't solve the mutation itself and directly make the mutation disappear, with the Righteous Soul Incense, he could still get out.

A group of people came to the cemetery and found that there were many tombs, but they were quite scattered, and new tombs and old tombs were mixed together.

Ji Xingwang asked, "Are there any doubts?"

"Well"

Li Ang observed for a while, "The earliest and latest tombs match the time when Qishui Village was built and disappeared. Brother Ji, have you brought the soil to fuse?"

"Take it, what are you going to do?"

"Open the coffin."

Li Ang asked for talismans from Ji Xingwang, melted the soil on the surface of more than a dozen tombs, and opened the coffins. And the result surprised everyone.

Some of the coffins contained normal skeletons, while others were empty, with only hair, clothes, and some personal belongings from before they were alive, which were clearly clothes tombs.

"how so?"

Ji Xingwang frowned and said, "The Clothes Tomb is a tomb for the living to commemorate on the premise that the body of the deceased cannot be found.

Judging from the closed situation of Qishui Village, which is inconvenient to go out, there must not be many people who would go out to do business. Why are there so many clothes tombs? And the time is also so strange, only the old tombs will have clothes tombs, and the new tombs will have skeletons. "

"Open a few more coffins to see."

Li Ang opened more tombs, and found that the pattern of clothes tombs was more obvious—the old tombs 80 years before the establishment of the village were almost all clothes tombs. In the future, the number of cloak mounds will be lower.

In the past thirty years, there has not been a single tomb.

The four of them looked at each other, what does this represent?

"Finally, come out."

In the forest, Liao Kaifeng, Yan Yan, and Yu Shusheng breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the dense forest.

The three of them were also scattered in various parts of the mountain depression after the strong wind and earthquake occurred. They finally gathered together, and encountered unknown attacks in the mist and ghosts hitting the wall. They did not walk out of the mountain forest until now.

"I haven't seen anyone launching communication fireworks until now, won't everyone else die?"

Liao Kaifeng said gloomyly: "Then Lu Fei and Ji Xingwang will die when they die, but Wang Li Nian has the fragrance of righteous soul on his body. If he dies quietly, we might be trapped here forever."

"Quickly shut the crow's mouth."

Yan Yan said coldly: "The mutation this time is not simple. It covers such a large mountainous area around, and the master who caused the mutation has not yet been seen. If a few more people die, we don't have to think about going out. , find a place to dig a hole, bury yourself,

I pray that the Zhenfu Division will come and take over soon. "

"you sure?"

Liao Kaifeng said with a gloomy face: "According to the behavior of the Zhenfu Department, even if they come here to solve the incident, we have to sign a contract with them to fight the Zhenfu Department for several years, or even more than ten years. Bai Gong."

"Will there still be Taiyuan Wang family by then? We have all come to help, and there is no credit but hard work. No matter what, we have to settle this debt of favor."

Yu Shusheng said: "Okay, there is a temple in front. Brother Liao, how is your injury?"

"snort."

Liao Kaifeng pressed the side of his heart, his face turned pale, but he still snorted coldly: "I can't die for now. Let's go."

The three walked into the Qishui Temple, Liao Kaifeng sat in the corner with his back against the wall, silently recovering his strength,

Yan Yan glanced at the fruit offerings on the altar, indifferently took out dry food from his arms, and ate every mouthful.

Yu Shusheng searched the temple and found a few notes.

"Luffy left it? Has he already joined the others? Written in Nanzhou characters, is it afraid of being picked up by the villagers of Qishui Village?"

Yu Shusheng frowned and looked at the content of the note, Yan Yan leaned over and read it together.

The History of Qishui Village. The Legend of the God of Qishui in the Terrain Ancestral Hall

Suddenly, Yu Shusheng's eyes were fixed, and the hair on his back stood on end.

'The villagers of Qishui Village will turn into evil spirits after night, and return to normal people during the day, and after being killed, they are suspected to be resurrected. '

Yu Shusheng thought of something, subconsciously glanced at the corner of the temple with the corner of his eye. Liao Kaifeng was sitting there, clutching his wound and bowing his head.

After yesterday evening, Liao Kaifeng was attacked by an unknown entity in the dense fog and lost contact all night. He did not appear until after dawn, joined the two, and claimed that he was only seriously injured and barely escaped.

But his injuries.

Tick, tick.

Dripping blood dripped along Liao Kaifeng's fingers, forming a pool of blood under his body.

He raised his head slowly, looked at Yu Shusheng and Yan Yan who had suddenly fallen silent, and asked expressionlessly, "Keep reading, why don't you stop reading?"

"It's over, the paper only says that anyone who sees the note should go find them as soon as possible."

Yu Shusheng smiled without changing his face, "Is your injury okay?"

"How many times have I said it, I can't die."

Liao Kaifeng waved his palm impatiently, stood up from the ground, as if wanting to prove himself, lifted a corner of his jacket, revealing the messy and deep wound on his chest.

"Look, it's all right."

He raised his palm and smoothed the wrinkled skin at the wound, but he couldn't completely smooth it out anyway. With a soft "tsk", he stretched out his hand and tore off the whole piece of rotten and fragmented skin.

Tick ​​tock.

Blood dripped down, Liao Kaifeng continued to scratch the wound expressionlessly as if he didn't notice the pain.

The more he tried to smooth out the wound, the more it made the injury worse, so he could only tear off the skin piece by piece and piled it under his feet.

Tendons, blood vessels, bones.

Liao Kaifeng's chest has already exposed thick bones, and through the bones, he can see the heart that has stopped beating below.

"Huh, finally there is no bleeding."

Liao Kaifeng smiled slightly, and looked up at Yu Shusheng and Yan Yan.

What greeted him was a group of talismans.

boom! !

The courtyard wall collapsed, the house beams toppled, and the smoke and dust filled the air.

Reading lines, boxing styles, and talisman techniques all come and go.

After a long time, Yu Shusheng and Yan Yan stumbled out of the ruined Qishui Temple. Yan Yan was still holding a thread in his hand, and the other end of the thread was dragging Liao Kaifeng's headless corpse.

"Unexpectedly, Liao Kaifeng is already a ghost."

Yu Shusheng said with difficulty: "And he even walked with us all the way."

"Don't say so many useless things, let's break him into thousands of pieces first. Remember the content on the note? The evil spirit who was killed may turn into water traces and escape, resurrected the next day, and there is no Memories from before."

Yan Yan shook his head, twisted Liao Kaifeng's body into fine pieces with a thread, then took out a talisman, and burned all the pieces into ashes, "I hope this will be useful. Huh, let's go, go to Ji Xing to see them."

Yan Yan put away the reading thread, looked back at Yu Shusheng, and found that the latter's expression was constantly changing, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Yu Shusheng reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth, "I'm just thinking about Liao Kaifeng's death without a sound, and it's a bit sad for a rabbit to die."

"Heh, there will always be times when he licks blood with a knife all the year round. He must have been mentally prepared. Don't worry, Taiyuan Wang has five surnames and seven Wangs after all, and the pension money will be sent to his family."

Yan Yan shook his head, scratched his cheeks and walked towards the grave, casually said: "Let's go, it seems that it gets dark faster here than outside, and it will be too late if we don't go."

"Um."

Yu Shusheng nodded and followed behind Yan Yan, still recalling the scene he saw just now in his mind - the skin on Yan Yan's face was slowly cracking.
