When I was a Taoist

Chapter 636 Something is wrong

The plan is set, but who to go to is a big problem.If we find the wrong person, even if the five of us are not killed by the ghost, I am afraid that we will be hunted down by these sick villagers.After much deliberation, we finally agreed on an answer: children!

Yes, only children are the most innocent, and they say that the young and middle-aged have left the village, and maybe a few children still stay here.Thinking of this, we immediately went out and knocked on doors from door to door to inquire.However, we did not directly indicate the purpose, but asked around.After half an hour, we only found one villager with a child, but he was wary of us like a devil, leaving us no chance at all.

After turning around, our mentality collapsed a bit, so we simply ran to the stream outside the village, wanting to wash our faces and calm down.When we came to the creek, we found that there was a wave churning inside.When I looked closely, it turned out to be an eleven or twelve-year-old boy swimming in it.

Seeing this, we were all excited, and quickly greeted the little boy, saying: "Little friend, can you come and answer a question for us."

At the beginning, the little boy looked at us with vigilance and fear. He didn't dare to approach us at all, and kept staring at us while soaking in the water.Finally, under our various persuasion and the snacks that Tingting carried with her, she successfully seduced the little boy.After hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to trust us and swam ashore slowly.

The little guy put on his clothes, looked at us timidly, and asked, "Who are you and why are you in our village?"

Tingting shook the snacks in her hand and said with a smile: "Little friend, my sister would like to ask you a few questions. If you answer well, these snacks will be yours. How are you?"

The little boy's eyes clearly showed eagerness, but he still had a hesitant look on his face. He shook his head and said, "Grandpa told me that you must never talk to strangers. If he sees you, you will be severely punished." Beat me."

Tingting touched the little boy's head, and said softly: "Little friend, we are the only ones here, how could your grandpa know about it? God knows, you know and I know. As long as we don't tell, who will know?" Woolen cloth?"

The little boy was obviously shaken, he licked his lips, his eyes fixed on the snack in Tingting's hand.Seeing this scene, I shook my head dumbfounded.I didn't expect her to be so good at coaxing children. It seems that appearance is useful to everyone.

After hesitating for a long time, the little boy finally snatched the snacks from Tingting's hand, lowered his head and said, "Then ask quickly, I'm going home, otherwise grandpa will come out to look for me."

Tingting looked at me in surprise, and then tried to pretend to be calm, and asked: "My child, I heard that this village suddenly became rich, do you know why?"

The little boy shook his head and said, "When I was sensible, the village was already like this. Grandpa never asked me to mention such things, so I don't know why."

I rolled my eyes, Tingting, this is a waste of time.The little boy is eleven or twelve years old at most, how could he know what happened ten years ago.

Tingting also realized her problem, stuck out her tongue playfully, and continued to ask: "Then do you know why so many tourists who came to the village disappeared?"

Hearing this, a terrified look suddenly appeared on the little boy's face. He put his hands on his shoulders and screamed: "It's the devil, it's the devil who took them away! Grandpa said, these people are disobedient and offended!" Devil, so everyone should go to hell!"

"Then have you ever seen this devil, or know where this devil hides?" Tingting asked while comforting the little boy.

The little boy shook his head and said: "No, I have basically stayed at home every day since I was a child. I can only sneak out for a while when my grandfather is sleeping. I heard these things from my grandfather. .”

Hearing this, I had a look of disappointment on my face. I didn't expect the rules in this village to be so strict, basically neither adults nor children would go out.These villagers also worked hard to keep the secret, but they didn't know how many people had given their lives for this secret.

Tingting was also a little disappointed, because she couldn't find any useful clues.The little boy hadn't even been out of the house a few times, let alone the ancestral hall, so he probably didn't know anything about the situation inside.It seems that we still have to figure out a way if we want to break through the spirit devouring array.

"Thank you, kid, hurry home and don't let your grandpa see you talking to us."

Tingting patted the little boy's head, and when we were about to turn around and leave, the little boy grabbed Tingting's sleeve, as if hesitating for a long time, and said, "Sister, actually I still know a secret. We There is an ancestral hall outside the village, which is a forbidden place for the whole village, neither grandpa, them nor my friends should approach it, otherwise it will bring disaster to the village."

"Do you know this ancestral hall? Then do you know who is in charge of this ancestral hall?" I asked hastily.

"It's our village chief." The little boy pointed in the direction of the village head and said, "The third house on the left after you enter the village is our village chief's house. His house is very easy to recognize, and the whole village belongs to his family. The house is the most luxurious."

After speaking, the little boy hurriedly ran towards the village.

"The third house on the left seems to be the old man's house!" Tingting exclaimed involuntarily.

I nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This old man really has a problem. I didn't expect him to be in charge of the spirit-eating formation in the ancestral hall. We must find a way to get a way to break the spirit-eating formation from him!"

We are going to leave, and we will find a way to solve the spirit devouring array when we go back.But just a few steps after I walked out, I suddenly heard a "plop" behind me, as if someone had jumped into the creek.Turning around, I found that the only remaining member of the West City branch had jumped into the creek, and said angrily, "What time is this, you still have the mind to take a bath in it, come out quickly."

However, this guy plunged into it directly, and could only see a pair of hands dangling on the surface of the stream.Only then did I feel that something was wrong, because the little boy had just come out of the stream, and the water only reached halfway up to his waist.For us grown-ups, it's simply impossible to drown him all over!
