Merchant of the Underworld

Baisha Village is located in a deep mountain on the outskirts of the country. About half a month ago, they dug something out of the ground, and from then on, the whole village, old and young, started to have evil spirits.

They realized that the thing might be femininity, so they contacted me and asked me to help get rid of the femininity.

But I didn't have the heart to deal with it, so I let Li Mazi go. It was only after I came back that Li Mazi started to look like this.

Now that Li Mazi is in this situation, I think there are two possibilities.

The first possibility is that there is something wrong with the little widow. She is proficient in Miao poison and other heretical practices, and she has poisoned Li Mazi.

The second possibility is that Li Mazi did not successfully deal with the evil thing in the mountain village, and the evil thing began to take revenge crazily. Li Mazi's leg disease was actually caused by the evil thing.

After careful analysis, I think the second possibility is more likely.

After all, no matter how powerful the little widow's methods were, she could not make Li Mazi have the same strange dream every day, let alone black footprints on his knees.

When we arrived at Baisha Village, it was already four or five o'clock in the morning.

I originally thought that all the villagers had rested at this point, but I never expected that the lights in the village were still bright, chickens and dogs were barking, and even human moans could be heard.

Damn it, there really is something evil at work.

At this time, Li Mazi came to his senses. After seeing me entering the village, he groaned even more loudly: "Brother Zhang, I can't stand it anymore. My knees are getting more and more painful. I feel like I can't hold on any longer."

I quickly comforted him and told him not to worry. His knees reacted to the mountain village, which proved that there was indeed a ghost in this mountain village. Once the root cause of the disease was found, it would be easier to deal with it.

Li Mazi nodded and asked me to go to a house on the east side of the village where his old sweetheart, the young widow, lived. I would stay there one night to get to know the situation first.

I nodded immediately and drove to the little widow's house. I hesitated a little when I knocked on the door. It was unlucky to knock on a widow's door late at night.

But when I was hesitating, the door opened from the inside. A young country woman with still charming charm stood at the door and looked at me: "Who are you looking for?"

"It's me, Li Mazi." Li Mazi stuck his head out of the car: "I have something to do with you."

After discovering that it was Li Mazi, the little widow was furious: "Liar, how dare you come here!"

As he said that, he rushed to catch Li Mazi and wanted to drag Li Mazi out of the car.

I was shocked. Li Mazi was a sick man now, and the little widow could probably drag him to death.

I quickly ran up and stopped the little widow and asked the little widow what was going on?

The little widow cried and said: "Do you know how bad you have done to us? Now all the men, women, and children in the village are tortured to death by that thing, and they don't answer your calls. You...you will pay for the whole village." life."

I was even more panicked and couldn't figure out what was going on. I just realized that this matter might be very difficult.

I don't know the folk customs of this place, but from the little widow's brutal behavior just now, I guessed that the villagers must be unfriendly.

If we rush in rashly, we might be beaten to death by the angry villagers.

So without saying a word, I got in the car and prepared to leave.

But it was too late. The little widow's scream had already awakened many villagers. Many people came out of their homes and surrounded my car.

Seeing that they were holding kitchen knives, hoes, and even shotguns, I was scared. I quickly got into the car, locked the door, leaving only a gap, and asked them what was going on? Everyone has something to talk about, so don't do anything.

I discovered a very strange phenomenon, that is, most of the people who came out this time were women, and there were only a few younger men, but they were all standing in the back row, and they seemed to be a little unsteady on their legs.

My heart began to twitch, wondering if they had the same disease as Li Mazi, right?

Amidst their curses, I roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

It turns out that the last time Li Mazi came to help the villagers deal with the evil things, although the strange phenomenon was temporarily calmed down, Li Mazi also took the money and left.

But what happened after that became even more serious!

In the past, the villagers just bumped into evil spirits and were frightened. But since Li Mazi finished disposing of the evil object, the evil nature of the evil object suddenly increased sharply. Not only did strange things happen, but they even started to attack the villagers. Because of this, many villagers were tortured unspeakably.

Their first thought is naturally to contact us.

But I don’t know why, but the call can’t be made at all. And they didn’t know where we lived, so they subconsciously thought we were liars and absconded with the money.

After I figured out the whole thing, I quickly explained it to the villagers. Tell them not to worry. We are here to deal with this matter specifically. If we do anything wrong, the whole village will not end well!

After some advice from me, the mood of the villagers finally calmed down. I got out of the car and asked them to arrange a place to rest.

Unexpectedly, they imprisoned Li Mazi and me in the Earth Temple opposite the Little Widow, and even confiscated our mobile phones to prevent us from calling the police.

This made me so angry that I was half-dead. This was house arrest. With the sky high and the emperor far away, no one dared to deal with them.

But as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Arguing with them now will only intensify the conflict between the two parties. I can only carry Li Mazi off the car and go to the Tutu Temple to stay well.

The villagers also sent two people to monitor us and told us to talk about this matter after dawn. It was not convenient for them to say something this late at night.

I nodded and asked them to send a steward over as soon as possible after dawn.

The seriousness of this matter is much more complicated than I imagined, and it must be resolved as soon as possible.

Li Mazi's knee seemed to be getting worse, and he kept whining in pain. I could hear the moans in the small mountain village through the crack in the door of the mountain temple.

Then I realized something creepy. Could it be that all the men in the village had become like Li Mazi, with their knees rotten?

The people who surrounded us today were all women, and the only few men were standing far behind, looking a little unsteady.

There was also this vague moaning sound, and there were various signs that the whole village was suffering from this 'strange disease'.

Oh, what a headache. I'm not a doctor. Even if this evil thing is solved, their disease will not be cured. At most, it will no longer get worse.

Will the villagers spare me then?

I originally wanted to ask Li Mazi, how did the Yinwu in Baisha Village cause trouble? How did he deal with this negative thing?

But Li Mazi was already asleep.

Thinking about how he couldn't sleep all night after being tortured for the past few days, he finally fell asleep. I was too embarrassed to disturb him, so I just lay next to him and slept with my clothes on.

But at dawn, I was woken up by a pungent stench.

At first I thought it was the strange smell in this remote earth temple, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized something was wrong. The smell seemed to be that of rotting meat.

When I thought of rotten flesh, I thought of Li Mazi's injuries, so I quickly opened Li Mazi's trouser legs to see if Li Mazi's knees had deteriorated.

But when I opened Li Mazi's trousers, I was immediately hit by the smell of rotten eggs. Without even looking at it, I ran straight to the corner and vomited.

After finally vomiting, I looked at Li Mazi's legs again, and I felt the desire to vomit again.

Li Mazi's injury was no longer limited to his knees, but spread rapidly to his heels. There were blisters one by one, as if they had been scalded with boiling water. They were densely packed, and there were tiny black insects squirming inside.

I have such intensive phobia that my back feels cold.

I was frightened and ignored my nausea. I touched Li Mazi's forehead and found that he still had a high fever.

not good! He wasn't sleeping, he was probably having a fever and went into shock.

I was frightened, and I quickly slammed the door and asked the villagers to find a doctor. Li Mazi was about to die.

An aunt at the door looked inside through the crack in the door and said in an understatement: "It's no big deal, don't panic."

Then he left slowly.

I waited for a long time before the aunt brought the doctor over.

What she brought was an old woman with wrinkles on her face, strange symbols painted on her face, silver hair, and wearing a black robe, just like a witch.

After opening the door, the old woman glanced at Li Mazi's injury, then squatted down, took out a silver needle from her pocket, told Li Mazi not to move, then used a lighter to burn the silver needle, and pricked it little by little. Bubbles on his legs.

I asked the aunt next to me, what does this old woman do? Why are you dressed so strangely?

The aunt glanced at me and said that this was the savior of the village. If it weren't for her, many people in the village would have died.

I was shocked. Could this be a miracle cure?

But she is not a miracle doctor, but a witch doctor. After learning about this incident, I was speechless for a while. What age is this, why are there still witch doctors? Aren't you afraid of putting people to death?

But I have to say that this old witch doctor is still quite capable. Under her treatment, Li Mazi's fever gradually subsided, and the bubbles were burst, turning into a layer of translucent dead skin that clung to the skin. On the thigh.

Although it is still scary, it is not as scary as before, and you can still recognize that it is a human leg.

Li Mazi also gradually woke up, but the situation didn't look optimistic, and he was all confused.

I sighed and quickly asked the old witch doctor, what kind of disease is this?
