Chapter 129
After entering Hualong Village, I heard Grandma Liu tell the origin of Hualong Village and what happened here.

At first, I only felt that Hualong Village was isolated from the outside world. Coupled with the folk culture in the village, I felt that the villagers in Hualong Village were ignorant and feudal.

But now it seems that all this is not as simple as I thought. There are still too many unknown secrets hidden in this village.

I think back to those words that Red Carp said to me at that time.

She mentioned Snake Village at the beginning, and warned that this village is by no means simple, and asked me to make all-out plans.

Obviously, she knows the horror of this Hualong Village, and she also knows that if I come here, if I want to find the answer, it will be very dangerous.

Also, Red Carp once said that my brother is the reincarnation of the White Dragon.

Now when I came to Hualong Village, when I saw the portrait of the Dragon King as a snake about to shed its skin, I felt unprecedented anxiety in my heart.

When my parents came here, it might not be a coincidence, but rather a well-planned conspiracy.

"It's also thanks to the protection of the Dragon King that I, a bad old woman, have lived for more than ten years!" Grandma Liu turned around tremblingly after burning incense and praying.

It was already late at night, and the night in Hualong Village was extremely quiet, probably because the doors and windows were in disrepair for a long time.

When the strange cold wind blows outside, the windows rattled, as if someone was knocking outside.

Moreover, I don't know if it is my illusion.

I vaguely heard whimpering in the mist outside, and the faint sound of singing opera tunes.

"It starts again!"

Granny Liu's whole body trembled, and her expressionless eyes became extremely terrified.

I asked suspiciously, "What?"

"Yin opera!" Grandma Liu sighed, "It's the dead people in the village. Although they have passed away, they will appear every year during the Ghost Festival, and then go to the Dragon King Temple to listen to the opera."

When I said this, I was quite frightened, and said a little scared: "Grandma, you said that those villagers who have died for more than ten years are still in the village and go to the theater every night?"

Grandma Liu was a little confused, and said a little uncertainly: "I haven't visited it, but every year during the Ghost Festival, at this time, I always feel that those who died in the village are alive again."

What secrets are hidden in Hualong Village is still unknown, but I feel that this village is extremely weird and evil.

People can't leave the village after death, dead bodies wear masks, and the weird folk culture here makes the whole village full of doubts.

Although what Grandma Liu said described the origin of Hualong Village, there are still some things that are unpredictable.

In Grandma Liu's narration, the Dragon King is the embodiment of justice and the god who has blessed Hualong Village for generations.

Although the rudeness of the ancestors was blamed by the Dragon King, the Dragon King still remembered the kindness of the villagers and did not hurt the innocent.

In the long river of time, in the eyes of the villagers, as long as the villagers sacrifice a young girl to the Dragon King every year, the whole village can be safe and sound, all of which is as it should be.

Some villagers even felt that although the Shuangsheng became the white-armored food officer under the Dragon King and killed many villagers, it was already a gift from the Dragon King to give the villagers stone talismans through the hands of the snake woman.

Grandma Liu rolled her dull eyes and said to me, "Little girl, cheer up at night and don't sleep, or your soul will be taken away."

After hearing the story of Hualong Village, I was really scared in my heart, so I kept cheering up. Granny Liu talked and comforted me and said, "But don't worry, as long as the Ghost Festival is a few days away Get over it, don't go out after dark, with the Dragon King's stone talisman, nothing will happen."

Grandma Liu said that the village genealogy recorded that the plague was rampant more than 100 years ago, and several villages outside died, but Hualong Village was safe and sound.

There are also strong winds and floods on the island every few years. Although the village will suffer some losses, no one has lost their lives because of it.

From this meaning, it seems that all of this is due to the blessing of the Dragon King.

After finishing speaking, Grandma Liu picked up the scissors again and started to get busy.

I wondered in my heart, why Hualong Village has a rule not to allow outsiders to stay overnight, is it because of this reason?

Chu Yuan's face was heavy, and he said softly to me: "I'm going to the Shuangsheng Temple to see what is hidden in that temple!"

"Now?" I couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Ok!"

"I'll go with you!" I whispered.

"No, you stay here! My primordial spirit is still very weak now, and the injury has not healed. If you go into danger, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."

This was the first time for Chu Yuan to speak so solemnly, which made me feel even more uneasy.

"The Dragon King Temple in Hualong Village does not seem to enshrine the real Dragon King. There may be a terrible secret hidden here!"

Chu Yuan looked solemnly at the same time, and his voice was as cold as a thousand years of ice: "Besides, I have a very bad feeling that the white snake of the Liu family may have come here for another purpose, to avoid further troubles. In any case, my snake head, It needs to be brought back as soon as possible.”

Chu Yuan didn't know if he saw something, or guessed something in his heart. From his tone, I felt troublesome.

Pursing my lips, I had no choice but to say softly: "You, you have to be careful."

This Hualong Village is a pool of stagnant water on the surface, but actually it feels like a storm is surging.

I also know very well in my heart that with my current ability, it is more than enough to deal with some ordinary things, but if I really encounter the demons and monsters with profound Taoism, I can only hold back Chu Yuan.

Whether it's the weird twin saints, the dragon king in the village, or the white snake of the Liu family.

It's not something I can handle.

"Don't go out tonight. If you are in danger, call me by name. I can sense your call through the snake bracelet."

Chu Yuan stared at the portrait of the Dragon King on the shrine, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Ok!"

I nodded slightly.

There seemed to be tenderness in Chu Yuan's eyes, and there was a bit of unspeakable complexity. He took a deep look at me, but didn't say much after all.

"Little girl, I haven't been out for decades as an old woman, can you tell me what the outside world looks like!" Grandma Liu's face was grayish yellow, and when she laughed, her creases wrinkled together.

She seemed unaware of Chu Yuan's departure.

I cheered up and told Granny Liu about the world outside Hualong Village.

But as he talked, even though he warned himself not to sleep, he still leaned on the chair and dozed off in a daze.

My consciousness became chaotic, and gradually there were voices in my ears, and I could faintly hear the sound of "babbling, babbling".

No, this is the voice of singing.

The scene in front of my eyes was very hazy, and I vaguely saw a stage with five or six figures in colorful clothes, twisting stiffly, and villagers were sitting around the stage.
