Thriller Trainee

The night sky was the same as they had entered the dungeon on the first day, dark clouds, gloomy, and moonlight invisible.

Fortunately, it will rain tomorrow night. There is no major event on the first night, so I can buffer for a while.

This night was quite panic.

What happened before dark was exactly the same as the previous reincarnation.

This time, under everyone's eyes, Lao Qiang's corpse did not hang on the old locust tree, but rather intelligently replaced it on the roof. Of course, the tragic death showed no sign of change.

Xu Su was dumbfounded, "This corpse is still so smart, do you know if anyone is staring at him?"

In this regard, Zong Jiu basically affirmed an idea in his heart through this matter.

The team in the Tsuchiya was okay. Everyone ate and drank enough, which also eased the previous tension.

In many cases, people's confidence and courage must be obtained from the outside. Among other things, the magician's omnipotent, as if not putting all things in his eyes, gave them great confidence.

After Lao Qiang's incident passed, there were no events that required special attention tonight.

Zong Jiu asked everyone to sleep well. Tomorrow, he must save enough energy. Not only must he rescue the woman, but he must also fight the villagers. This is not a simple matter.

Xu Sen raised his hand, "Then what will we do tomorrow?"

Zong Jiu touched his chin, "Let's stay outside the house first, and take her away when we see the woman."

"Once you succeed, immediately retreat to the woods, don't delay."

Everyone has no objection to this operational arrangement.

They have known only two breakthrough points, one is a woman, and the other is a nymph in the temple.

No one knows what happened on the night that the mission failed. All that can be done now is to gather the clues and avoid the tragedy of the previous reincarnation.

Everyone got up early the next morning before dawn.

Here I have to say that Zhuge An's Tai Chi gossip plate is really a good thing. It can attack and defend at the upper level, and the time can be estimated at the lower level.

At seven quarters of Yin Shi, the trainees were all ready and filed out of the earthen house.

The old people who were guarding outside the earthen hut and learning how they lit up a fire watched them come out one by one, all showing vigilant eyes.

After the incident where Zongjiu, the head of the village, was unwilling to help, the atmosphere between the two teams can be described as arrogant. The old people feel that the new people have no attitude, and they are not even willing to help. Now that they see it, they are even more unwilling to give a good face, so they coldly hum.

"Hidden, you go and guard around Wang Shou's house."

Zong Jiu turned his head, let Zhuge secretly lead the newcomers to go first, and turned his head towards the other team.

Anthony and others took the lead in showing an unkind look.

"What are you nervous? I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for senior no.4."

Zong Jiu deliberately bit the words "no.4" very hard, and nodded to Azan in black, "Senior borrowed a step to speak?"

Azan in black accepted his offer in silence, turned and walked aside.

The organization of the Old People's Alliance was originally loose. Although Azan in Black stood with them, he did his own way. The other party is not the kind of person who is careful to bear grudges, and if Zong Jiu's affairs at the entrance of the village is not in his heart, the others can't control it even more.

[Ah, they are going to talk alone! Damn, why is the live camera of this copy public?]

[That is, we also want to know what the two big guys talked about in private ooh]

[I feel that the S-level seniors are actually quite talkative. I have always felt that it is terrifying for Azan in black to raise a ghost to shave his head. Who can think of it, he turned out to be a good person! 】

After walking aside, Azan in black took the lead and said, "What can I do for you?"

Zong Jiu, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I have a guess."

"I heard from seniors before that the bodhisattva soil in front of the village entrance temple is extremely cold?"

"Not bad."

Azan in black nodded, "The villager once said that any plant that was transplanted in the past cannot survive because the soil is too cold. But this cold is not caused by the existence of a ghost. , But something born with coldness."

Things that are born with coldness are just as rare as things born with pure Yang. If he hadn't seen the Bodhisattva soil in Tongbai Village with his own eyes, Ajahn Hei could not imagine that there would be such a pure and unadulterated soil in the world.

"If I have to say..."

He concealed a point, "It's really like the Xianjia method. Because the world cannot naturally give birth to such soil, even the yellow spring soil will inevitably have defects or impurities."

Of course, this conclusion is more due to the feeling of the Buddha's light enveloped by Ajahn Hei Yi in the temple in Tongbai Village. Otherwise, he would not dare to jump to conclusions.

Zong Jiu pondered, "Then what should we do if we want to grow plants on this kind of soil?"

Azan in black replied, "Unless it is a pure sun plant, it can grow without being affected by the cold."

This probability is as rare as I said before. It is negligible.

Zong Jiu decided to skip this topic for now.

"I still have a question. If normal people eat this kind of soil all the year round, will it have any effect?"

Azan in black twisted his eyebrows deeply, "Human is yang, like soil is yin, if you eat for years and months, it will inevitably cause serious damage to the yang body. If it is supplemented by external forces... it is very likely. A half-yin physique will be achieved, and it is not impossible to force the yin and yang eyes to be opened."

"That's it."

Zong Jiu let out a long sigh, "Thank you senior for your answer. After listening to these causes, what is your understanding of the human spirit that I proposed last time?"

Long ago, Zong Jiu had this guess.

First of all, he saw that the pupils of the people in the village would turn black from time to time, each time it was as short as an instant and then quickly recovered.

Secondly, when he and Yi Ruisi encountered a ghost in the tunnel, the ghost obviously still had room for thinking, and it did not directly degenerate into an irrational ghost.

Finally, it is not a solitary case that human hearts transform ghosts. Similar classics have also been recorded in Qi Tan Zhi Yi in ancient and modern times. But perhaps as Hei Yi said, the conditions required are too harsh.

Now, the most demanding condition has been unintentionally achieved.

"If you take Bodhisattva soil for a long time, and supplement it with people's disgusting thoughts, it is indeed very possible."

Black Azan thought with a deep eyebrow, "But that requires extremely terrible evil thoughts, not only terrible, but also huge."

Halfway through, he didn't go on.

He has completely seen how evil the people in this village are. The preference for cannibalism alone is enough to make people fearful.

As for why Hei Yi Azan has always said that people in Tongbai Village have a habit of eating human flesh, instead of being forced to eat human flesh until they are desperate. It was because he found fresh, blood-soaked human flesh in almost every household's water tank. Even if some villagers have surplus food, they still have water tanks for putting human flesh. After he went over the wall and went to the butcher’s house, he found that the butcher’s wood room was full of frozen corpses. There were a lot of corpses on the butcher’s house. There were many corpses on the bones. .

The only good news is that there is no grievance on these corpses. It may be ordinary people who starved to death on the side of the road. The corpses were picked up, and the meat was cut off and sold. It hasn't progressed to the point of madness and madness.

If it were murdering and cutting meat, Azan in Black would be able to detect it when he first entered this village, and there is really no need to wait until now.

This shows that the people in the village are completely addicted to cannibalism. Because in the woods behind the village, there are still many trees with bark hanging on them, plus edible bodhisattva soil, they obviously have a choice.

Even if the people in this village have this wickedness and bodhisattva soil acts as a catalyst, in all fairness, Ajahn Hei Yi believes that the conditions for transforming ghosts into human hearts are still not met.

Zong Jiu didn't argue with him about this topic, instead he said: "It is true that more evidence or facts are needed for argumentation, but since this is possible, we should prepare for the worst. What do the predecessors think?"

Azan in black stretched his eyebrows, "This is natural."

If it is really like the worst guess, then the situation in this village will undoubtedly be much more difficult.

How tricky it is to transform ghosts into hearts, Azan in black understands better than anyone. What’s more frightening is that the ghosts of human hearts are not made overnight. The ghosts will always be hidden in the human heart. After a certain amount is accumulated, they will break out. They will be swallowed up by endless evil thoughts and become evil spirits in human skin. .

After getting the information he wanted, Zong Jiu rushed to the village chief's tuwu in the north of the village without stopping.

In the last reincarnation, Wang Shou rushed out with injuries just after dawn. Since they knew the necessary information this time, of course they had to hurry up.

When Zong Jiu arrived in front of the Tuwu, Xu Sen, who was guarding the door, quickly reported to him in a low voice, "We haven't noticed any movement yet."

Speaking of this, everyone feels strange.

According to the information, it should be that the woman sneaked into the house before dawn. She probably wanted to see if her daughter was still there, but she met Wang Shou and stabbed him with a hairpin in desperation. A handful, this hastily escaped.

So everyone stays on the ground and waits. The best solution is to stop the woman before the woman enters the earthen hut. In this way, we can avoid confrontation with the villagers and leave a buffer room for things.

"Continue to stare, it should be around this hour."

Zong Jiu raised his head and glanced at the sky, then squatted in the corner.

More than a dozen people densely surrounded the house of the village chief's house. As long as someone rushed out or entered, they couldn't escape their eyes.

After about ten minutes, there was a sound of footsteps in the small woods behind the soil house.

All the trainees looked at each other one after another and walked over there.

By the time they passed, several trainees had already subdued them.

In order to prevent the villagers from hearing the sound, they had no choice but to block the woman's mouth with cloth strips and take it away from the earthen hut.

Going to the other side, the scarlet roof of the temple is looming under the cover of the woods.

After walking to the forest, they untied the cloth strips and formed a circle.

Not only the Zong Jiu team, but the other team obviously had the same purpose as them, and they followed after seeing them subduing the woman.

With fear on her face, the woman opened her mouth and shouted, "Come here! Come! You disciples!"

"This lady, we have no intentions."

Xu Sen quickly went up to appease. But obviously, the other party was very emotional, not only excited, but also trying to break through.

After this chaos continued for almost a stick of incense, the woman calmed down a bit.

"You really didn't lie to me? It was really not sent by Wang Shou that bastard?"

Seeing her attitude finally loosened, everyone was relieved, "We really are not."

It seems that the woman believed it, and looked at the trainee suspiciously, "Then you get out of the way first, I have to go to my daughter."

When it comes to this topic, everyone is silent.

"Your daughter was..."

After a while, someone was talking, but Zong Jiu interrupted him directly.

"Madam, let's ask you something. If you are willing to tell us, we will naturally send you back intact."

The woman sneered, "I know you are not at ease."

White-haired Youth Quan did not hear this accusation against her.

He stared at the woman's eyes closely, "Three years ago, how did the old woman who lived behind the old locust tree in the east of the village died?"

The woman's face changed slightly, "You, what are you talking about, I don't understand."

"Don't understand?" Zong Jiu chuckled, "My daughter is six or seven years old, and it has been three or four years since I got married. How come I don't understand?"

He went on and said: "In the past few days, there have been villagers who died inexplicably. You came from your natal family alone, so you don't have to hear about it. Others can be said to be the mother-in-law who came back to ask for your life."

At this point, the mood swings on the woman's face are even more obvious.

This time, other road trainees also saw something wrong.

Because her expression is not something else, but dodges while being mixed with obvious fear.

Obviously, the woman was really afraid of the ghost in Zongjiu's mouth to kill her.

Everyone knew there was something at a glance, and this was obviously a reaction to doing something wrong.

She opened her mouth, "If that woman really finds it back, what's the use of telling you?"

This time it was Azan in black who spoke.

"If you haven't done anything wrong, you are naturally not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If you have done something wrong... the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, if you have a pious and penitent heart, maybe the ghost will let you go."

These words seemed to give the woman a reassurance, so after hesitating for a while, she finally let go.

"...Three years ago, I just married my daughter to this village not long ago."

The woman was originally a widow from the village next door, she was beautiful, but her husband's family unexpectedly went early, and she stayed the widow at a young age.

My husband’s family didn’t have much money, a widow in the village couldn’t ask for anything, and it’s even harder for my natal family to take care of a married daughter, so life became more and more difficult.

It just so happened that the son of the mayor of Tongbai Village was also a widower, and his ex-wife died after giving birth to a son. It happened that there was a matchmaker in the two villages who took the money as a matchmaker and led a line. After meeting Wang Shou, he coveted the beauty of the widow.

It's just that after she got married, the woman's stomach was unsatisfactory and she had not been able to give birth. Her status in her husband's house was getting lower and lower. She was begging the old village chief to live her life every day, and Wang Shou often yelled and scolded her.

In Tongbai Village, the head of the village had the final say. It coincided with the beginning of the famine that year, and the people didn't have a livelihood, and she couldn't get anything to eat at home.

"That old woman is also a childless woman. Her husband went early. But when she is older, she lives in that old earthen house alone."

The old woman believes in Buddhism.

The woman said that before the Bodhisattva appeared in Tongbai Village three years ago, only the old woman believed in the Buddha in the village.

Before that, no one cared about the bodhisattva soil in front of the temple at all, and the temple was too small and ragged, and could not see its original appearance. After all, the bodhisattva soil cannot grow plants, and it is already famine. Who would care for a land that can't even grow anything?

"Only the mother-in-law believes in the Buddha, takes care of the bodhisattva soil day after day, sprinkles water day and night, and often cleans the temple with a broom."

Speaking of this, the woman hesitated, "Not only that, she also has a habit of eating Bodhisattva soil, and even eats only that soil a day."

"But she was kind-hearted. She ate the soil during the famine, and the rest of the grain would be given to the villagers. But she was later discovered by the villagers who ate the soil, so the villagers took the soil and went back to eat like her. ."

"The bodhisattva soil originally only had a shallow layer, not much. She was not enough to eat all the people in the village. Because of this, she quarreled with everyone and complained that others said that they would have to eat the food she gave. Fight with her for soil."

"Later, the Bodhisattva didn't have enough soil, and she starved to death in that old soil house."

Her eyes flickered, "It took more than ten days for the villagers to find out that the body was stinky at that time."

"Although the villagers are not doing it authentically, but when there is a famine, whoever can control the three, seven and twenty-one, they just want to live. Treating the old lady is treating the old woman badly, and no one is going to deliver the food. Maybe it is. Because of this, she felt resentful, so much so that now... alas."

The woman looked a little angry, "But then the village also raised funds to repair her spiritual position. If this is the case, it would be too much to kill her."

Many trainees showed a suddenly realized look.

Only Zong Jiu and Azan in black still frowned.

"Okay, you want me to say it, and I told you all, you can always let me go now."

Zong Jiu said lightly, "Okay, let's go."

After speaking, he motioned to Xu Su and the others to loosen the shackles and follow him.

Although the latter were confused, they had become accustomed to obeying Zong Jiu's instructions in the past few days, so they didn't ask a single question, and followed the white-haired youth directly from the woods.

On the other hand, the old people in Anthony and his team obviously wanted more information from this woman, and did not come up to interfere, but watched the newcomers leave with cold eyes.

It is worth mentioning that Azan in black whispered a few words and left alone from the group of old people.

Zong Jiu didn't mean to delay, and directly led the newcomers to the temple at the back of the village.

Xu Sen asked in a low voice, "Brother Nine, is there something wrong with what the woman said just now?"

They did not hear the conversation between the old village chief and the Yin Po in the temple like Zong Jiu did, and could not distinguish the contradictions in the two people's accounts. In fact, if no other clues have been collected before, the woman's words can roughly meet all the questions.

"If the old woman turns a ghost back to avenge the village, it's not impossible."

Xu Su meditated, "Whether it is the timeline she said or why the villagers scramble to eat Bodhisattva soil, it can be resolved, but..."

He thought of the scratches on half of the wall of the old earthen house, and only felt that something was not right. Xu Su couldn't tell what was wrong.

"There is a problem, of course there is a problem."

Zong Jiu shrugged, "She's lying, it's too obvious."

"As for why it is difficult for you to detect, it is because the lies she told are extremely clever, not false from beginning to end, but a mixed truth."

[Fuck, I knew she was lying]

[Yes, the woman kept saying that she cares about her daughter, why didn't she take her with her when she ran away? 】

[Oh, it’s too difficult, it’s hard to find a clue, but the result is false. This copy has no clear clues yet, it really drives people crazy]

When the woman was talking, Zong Jiu had been carefully observing her micro expression.

When a person lies, the micro expression will change to a certain extent, not to mention that she has obviously concealed some extremely important things.

"So my guess is that not only did she lie, she might be one of the accomplices."

"Well, this clue has been grasped by us. Since the living people can no longer provide more information, then...the dead people have to get information."

Hearing what he said, other people remembered that the yin lady in the temple once said that they would try to get yin in the next few days.

Xia Yin means to go to Yin, also known as over Yin or Xia Shen, which probably means to walk from the yang to the underworld.

There are two ways to walk the Yin, one is to go to the Yin world alone, to find the designated ghost, and then ask the ghost to go on her body, for the stranger who missed the dead to talk and communicate.

There is also a way similar to the way of observing the falling shadow, taking the human to go down to the underworld with others. But this method is very difficult and risky, unless it is a Taoist priest with high mana, otherwise he will not try it.

Zong Jiu was quite sure that the current situation in Tongbai Village was definitely not the old lady Huacheng Ligui that the villagers said had come back to them to settle accounts.

Since the old woman didn't transform the ghost, she can try to find her soul through the yin method.

The people in the village are full of lies, and they have done bad things. It is not as convenient to ask the person directly.

Even the black-clothed Azan who followed them silently nodded, thinking that this method was very feasible, which coincided with him.

Perhaps it was because they made too much noise before dawn, and the village finally showed some signs of awakening.

In the distance, people in the village gathered in front of the earthen house of Wang Shou's house, carrying hoes one by one, and moved towards the woods.

Xu Sen was worried, "They seem to have been discovered, what should I do?"

"It's just light, will the temple open so early?"

"Who knows, I only know that if you don't get the props, we might be cold here."

Unconsciously, the vast forest suddenly became quiet.

The trainees also realized what was wrong, and all took out their life-saving props in a thunderous manner, and looked around vigilantly.

In the gap between the blade and the blade, there are layers of ghosts flashing away.

Not far away, the trainees of another team were running fast. Behind them, a large group of cursing villagers gathered.

Zong Jiu gave an order, "Run!"
