Chapter 1467 Night Knock at the Door
"Ahem..."
A sudden coughing sound interrupted everyone's thoughts. They followed the sound and found that the sound came from a room not far away. It sounded very dull and belonged to an old man.
The woman stood up nervously when she heard the sound, her pretty face full of worry, "It's Grandpa, Grandpa is not in good health."
"I have some basic medical skills, and I'll be happy to help if necessary."
In order to win the girl's trust and learn more about the secrets of the martial arts village, Li Bai enthusiastically promoted himself to the woman and took out some herbs.
The woman looked at the herbs and her heart was obviously moved, but later she turned to look outside the door. The sky in the distance had become completely gloomy. To be precise, it was foggy. The ghostly mist seemed to have enveloped the entire village, and the sky was heavy. is unusually low, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"It's almost night. Tomorrow is fine. You guys have a good rest tonight."
As soon as she walked out of the door, the woman stopped, turned around and said, "Look at my memory, I forgot to mention the most important thing. You must not go out at night. During this time, the fog near the village is very heavy, even blurring the day and night." limit."
After a pause, the woman's expression became serious: "You have to remember that the dawn you see is not necessarily real. You must hear the sound of the gong. The sound of the gong represents dawn."
"cough……"
"Ahem..."
The coughing sound started rapidly. After saying this, the woman closed the door and ran away. Jiang Cheng and others huddled in the room. The space here was really small. There was no decent furniture, only a broken table and two chairs. An unstable wooden chair was built with earth near the wall to form an earthen kang, which was too cramped for three people to sleep on.
Tang Qisheng found some firewood from behind the door, and several people lit a fire, and then gathered around the stove. The flames dispelled some of the chill, and the fatigue from the journey was relieved at this moment.
Open the door a crack,
The sky was getting gloomier. Jiang Cheng looked at another house not far away. It was pitch dark. "We'd better divide some of our people to live there. The space in this room is too small. We can't move around when things happen, and the two of them can't move around." The doors and windows of each room are in different directions and rely on each other, so the view will be much better. "
After some discussion, Tang Qisheng, Zhu Jie, and Zhang Qizheng took the initiative to come over. Finally, Yao, Shunyu and Yao also stood up and complained that the place was too crowded. He wanted to try his luck and see if he had a chance to sleep on the bed.
Yao Shunyu was unwilling to leave Fatty. After all, the doctor analyzed that the three teammates were not necessarily reliable. However, he winked at Yao, Shunyu, and did not see any response.
Before it was completely dark outside, Yao, Shun, and Yu took out a torch from the stove, and then brought some firewood for backup, and the four of them moved into another room.
Seeing the fire light up in their room, Jiang Cheng closed the door. The fat man couldn't help complaining, "What do Yao, Shun, and Yu want to do? Isn't it good to live with us?"
"People who think too much have a tiring life and don't trust anyone."
Shao Tong squinted his eyes with satisfaction. Naturally, his status was not worthy of sitting on a chair. He squatted on the ground and stretched out his hands to warm himself comfortably by the fire. The firelight reflected his face brightly.
The fat man was furious when he saw him, and asked with a straight face: "Why don't you go? I'm telling you, don't mess with us."
After hearing the fat man's words, Shao Tong suddenly became happy. He leaned back against the wall, tilted his head and said with a smile: "I would like to go, but I'm worried that if I really go, some people won't be able to sleep."
Fatty was choked by Shao Tong. He naturally knew that the person Shao Tong was talking about was a doctor. During this period, Fatty could see clearly that the doctor was staring at Shao Tong and would never let him out of sight.
Jiang Cheng kicked a few pieces of firewood to Shao Tong's feet, looked at him and asked, "What do you think of this village?"
Shao Tong straightened up, thought for a moment and then said: "The people in the Hou Mansion made it very clear that our destination is Daotou Village, so I think we will not be involved in another supernatural incident for no reason, so... ..." After a pause, Shao Tong pointed to the ground and said meaningfully: "This should be Daotou Village."
"Well, I think the same thing as you. That woman said that the ghosts in the fog are evil cultivators and Taoist priests who have gone crazy. Do you still remember? We found many lightning strike wooden signs in the Hou Mansion, as well as those in the Hou Mansion's Yin Mansion. Many of the arrangements are from the Taoist sect, and there may be a connection between them. "
After listening to Jiang Cheng's analysis, Li Bai also nodded, "I remember that the servants who died that night once said that their amulets came from a place called Tianshi Mansion, which sounds like a Taoist temple."
The fat man became more frightened as he listened, and suddenly said: "Also, when the doctor and I were at the antique shop, the shop owner told us the story of the fisherman. The fisherman said that the night they were forcibly sent into the lake, it was an expert who According to calculations, those soldiers called him...yes! That's right, they called him Heavenly Master!"
The chaotic thoughts finally gave rise to a clue, but the haze that hung over everyone's heads has not dissipated. The key now is to find out the secret of this fishing village.
After a long time, Li Bai spoke: "Changing the name of a village is a big deal. If this martial arts village really used the name Daotou Village, then some kind of change must have happened."
There is no doubt that this incident must be related to the ghost fog surrounding the village and the evil cultivators in the ghost fog. But what Jiangcheng can't figure out is why a group of Taoist priests with good Taoism would get involved with a little-known remote fishing village. relation.
Time passed by, and fatigue came over him like a tide. Jiang Cheng pulled Shao Tong to guard the first shift and asked Fatty and Li Bai to rest first.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, and the source-changing app used by old bookworms,]
The fat man lay on his side on the bed. He originally wanted to think about the problem of this fishing village again, but soon his eyelids slowly closed and he fell asleep.
After an unknown period of time, the fat man suddenly felt a pain in his chest and woke up suddenly. It turned out that he was hit when he turned over. There was a brand in the inner pocket of his clothes. It was the identity card given by General Yuwen, with the mark of the Marquis' Mansion on it.
But the fat man was just about to continue sleeping, and the next second he suddenly noticed something wrong. He found that the candle in the room was extinguished.
That's not all. The stove used for heating in the room was also extinguished. At this moment, the room was dark.
The fat man woke up completely. He had seen many strange things. He tried his best to calm himself down, and then reached out to touch his side. He wanted to wake up Li Bai who was sleeping with him.
But unexpectedly, he touched nothing. Li Bai's position was still warm, indicating that he had just left not long ago.
But what kind of situation would cause the doctor, Shao Tong, Li Bai and others to disappear without a sound? The fat man couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to think about it at all, until his peripheral vision swept across the window and his eyes suddenly tightened.
