Chapter 279: Exploring the Ghost Village
Chapter 279: Exploring the Ghost Village
Walking along the path of the village, it is a long and narrow mountain road.
The mountain road was winding and winding, Wang Xiaofan and Chen Yu walked for nearly half an hour, but they still haven't seen the end of the mountain road.But if you look around, you can already see the curling smoke rising in front of you.
Inhabited!
It seems that this is indeed Fengmen Village!
"Xiaofan, look at us..."
The smoke from the kitchen in front of me looks like an ordinary village, without any peculiarities.But it was the normal scene in front of him that made Chen Yu feel unnatural.
When I came to Fengmen Village, I was still a child.But he will never forget the memory of this place in his life.That's why Chen Yu felt so incredible when he saw the scene at the entrance of the village just now.
As he got closer, the scene in front of him became clearer.But no matter what, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart not only did not subside, but became more and more intense.
"what happened?"
"No...it's okay, let's go on."
Wang Xiaofan turned his head to look at Chen Yu, just in time to catch a glimpse of the unnatural look on his face.
But based on my understanding of Chen Yu, I'm afraid this guy has such a strange behavior when he just arrived.Therefore, he didn't take it to heart, but accelerated the movement of his feet.
Walking to the village in front, the houses here are all built according to the most primitive construction methods. Not only are there no traces of modern technology around, not even a single cable can be seen.This place seems to be a paradise, and no outsiders have ever set foot here.
This... is Fengmen Village?
But the surrounding atmosphere always lingers with a lingering sense of gloom.
Wang Xiaofan's curiosity about this Fengmen Village is getting stronger and stronger.He had a hunch that he would get something good here.Maybe I can improve my stagnant cultivation all the time.
"Who are you?"
Just when the two were thinking about something, a vigilant voice suddenly sounded, which startled both Wang Xiaofan and Chen Yu.
In front of them was a middle-aged man in a coir raincoat and holding a hoe, looking at them defensively.Holding the hoe tightly with both hands, it looked as if he was ready to strike at any time.
"Don't misunderstand this gentleman, we are here to visit. Excuse me, is this Fengmen Village?"
"How did you find this place?"
I thought that after explaining clearly the purpose of coming, the villagers in front of me would become friendly.But unexpectedly, when Wang Xiaofan said this, the faces of the villagers became gloomy in an instant.
Pushing away Wang Xiaofan and Chen Yu who were standing in front of him.
"There is no Fengmen Village here, and outsiders are not welcome, so you all go."
Wang Xiaofan and Chen Yu looked at each other, and started to block the middle-aged man again at the same time.
The contrasting attitude of the middle-aged man already made people feel a little abnormal.Now I still want to leave here as if nothing happened, how is this possible?
"Sir, we really have something to do in Fengmen Village."
"Yes, just tell us what happened in this village, okay?"
"Look at how difficult it is for us to come here all the way."
Wang Xiaofan and Chen Yu took turns to fight, using their eloquent talents in school, they managed to fool the middle-aged man for a moment.The aura of defense just now also dropped instantly.
The middle-aged man looked at them and sighed silently.He took off the hoe on his shoulder and looked at the distant fields with far-reaching eyes.
"Two little brothers, it's not that I didn't tell you about this place. This is indeed Fengmen Village, but it's not the Fengmen Village you imagined. Now this place has already deteriorated."
When it came to Fengmen Village, the middle-aged man's voice lowered.
The tone is also a little more melancholy and lonely.
This middle-aged man is a villager of Fengmen Village. He grew up in this place since he was a child, and he is a person who has witnessed the changes of Fengmen Village step by step.For him, Fengmen Village is not only his home, but also an obsession that cannot be let go.
"Why was Fengmen Village moved here? I remember it was outside before?"
Seeing that the other party intends to talk to them, Wang Xiaofan and Chen Yu's eyes lit up at the same time, and they began to be persuasive, preparing to get some information from this villager that they did not understand.
"That's right, Fengmen Village has indeed experienced a relocation."
"At that time, Fengmen Village was not what it is now. Everyone was very enthusiastic about entertaining foreign guests. But since the businessman came that time and said that he wanted to inspect the development prospects of Fengmen Village, the place began to deteriorate."
"They said that Fengmen Village is a treasure land of geomantic omen, with all kinds of treasures. So this group of people kept searching the nearby temples, hoping to take the opportunity to find the legendary treasures."
.........
The middle-aged man quickly finished talking about the changes in Fengmen Village.
The group of foreigners who wanted to dig for gold did get what they wanted in Fengmen Village.But people's hearts are greedy after all. When they wanted to get more, they had already offended the gods who guarded Fengmen Village.
Later, after those foreigners left, the crops in Fengmen Village gradually withered, and all resources also experienced problems to varying degrees.Under such a last resort, the villagers would choose to move to the depths of the woods.
Originally thought that this would resolve the enmity, but things are far from that simple...
"and after?"
Wang Xiaofan and Chen Yu asked in unison.
"Later... there is no later! If it weren't for you outsiders, Fengmen Village would never have become like this. Now it has become a cursed place, and it is all your fault."
Suddenly, the eyes of the middle-aged man became fierce.
He stared at Wang Xiaofan and Chen Yu viciously, as if they were the main culprits who caused Fengmen Village to become like this.
"..."
"Get the hell out of here and leave this place. Fengmen Village is not something you can provoke. Anyone who tries to profit from this place will be cursed by God."
The middle-aged man put away the expression on his face, turned around with his things and walked towards the village.
As he walked forward, he kept humming a weird ballad.
"Every good and evil in the world will be rewarded. Who knows the reincarnation of the closed door. The evil ghost has a host for his life. If the curse is not removed, the door will not be closed, hey..."
"What do you mean by that middle-aged man singing?"
Listening to the words that came out of his mouth, it seemed that something flashed in Wang Xiaofan's mind.
Curse, seal the door.
The middle-aged man has said these two words more than once, almost all of which revolve around the word "curse".If you want to put it this way, the changes in Fengmen Village, wouldn't it be...
