Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight
Yin time.
In the night sky above my head, the moonlight became a little dimmed, and it was hidden most of it in the clouds, making the entire earth even more dim.
Almost most of the villagers were dispatched in Lijia Village, regardless of gender, age, and almost all of them joined the search team. Everyone was holding torches or lanterns in their hands, and lined up to winding towards the outside of the village.
When these villagers were near the mountain pass and saw the ghost shadows in the white mist, everyone couldn't help but stayed in place and didn't dare to go forward at all.
"Ghost..............." Some villagers couldn't help but scream and began to retreat in the direction of the village in a panic. Several people fell to the ground and broke their flesh.
"What the hell?! Where did the ghost come from!" When the clan leader of the Li family heard this, he immediately stood up and shouted loudly to everyone: "Who dares to talk nonsense?"
"No! The patriarch, there is really a ghost! Look at the white mist!"
"Yes! Yes! Clan leader, that ghost is coming towards us!"
"Help! Help!"
"Mom, mom! I'm scared!"
Countless sounds suddenly sounded, buzzing, and the extremely quiet night was immediately pulled open.
The head of the Li family took a few steps forward, held the torch and looked in the direction of Baiwu. Naturally, he saw the tall shadow shaking in Baiwu. He was slightly shocked, and then turned his head to the villagers with relief and said, "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid, that's not a god!"
"Class leader, that ghost is coming towards us!" Some villagers continued to shout, their faces full of horror! If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people behind the team, I guess the villagers who were walking in the front would have turned around and escaped...
"That's not a god! It's just a moving shadow!" The head of the Li family did say to everyone with a relaxed look on his face, "This is a fake ghost shadow that our ancestors stayed behind to protect our village!"
"Captain, what are you talking about?" The villagers immediately didn't understand!
"Anyway, you mainly remember that this ghost shadow is not a ghost!" The head of the Li family thought for a while and said to everyone: "The reason why our village can live peacefully here is that it is protected by the mountain god. Everyone should be very clear about these things! However, it is not enough to have the mountain god's protection alone, so the ancestors also invited powerful Taoists to come and set up a protective formation for our village to prevent bad people from coming into our village... The ghost shadow you see now is just the thing that the ancestors asked Taoists to stay and scare people!"
"But, patriarch, if this was left by our ancestors, why have we never seen it at night before?" Some villagers couldn't help but question.
Over the years, even if most villagers don’t go out at night, there will always be some people who have to leave the village at night, right? Those who ask this question are villagers who have experienced this experience!
"Of course you won't see it!" The head of the Li family did look affirmative and said to the villagers: "This ghost shadow is to scare outsiders, not to scare people in our village! If there were no outsiders coming, this ghost shadow wouldn't have appeared!"
When the villagers heard this, they were immediately skeptical.
Could it be that this ghost can tell who is from Lijia Village? So magical?
"Now that this ghost shadow appears, it proves that those people must have come here!" The clan leader of the Li family did not want to explain more to these villagers. Instead, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the ghost shadow, and then said to everyone: "The ghost shadow is still there, which means that those people have not yet walked out and are still in our village... Everyone has taken the torches for me and followed us to find someone!"
"Class leader, won't this ghost really harm us?" Some villagers asked worriedly.
"What? You don't believe what I said?" The head of the Li family suddenly glared and asked the villagers who were talking with an unhappy look. Seeing that everyone looked scared, they thought about it, and then explained: "Do you know why people in our village, when they are married and born, come to the ancestral hall to drink a sip of water?"
The villagers shook their heads silently. They thought that this was just a tradition, which means that after drinking the water in the ancestral hall, they were from their Lijia Village!
"Those waters are all magical! They are blessed by Lord Mountain God!" The head of the Li family immediately straightened his back, raised his chin slightly, and said to the villagers in front of him: "It is precisely because of the blessing of Lord Mountain God that as soon as the people in our village step out of here, the ghost will know and disappear!"
The villagers all looked disbelief!
Everyone has lived in Lijia Village for so many years, why haven’t you heard of such a thing before?
"Don't believe it?" The head of the Li family frowned, looked at everyone, and snorted coldly, "Then you all keep your eyes open and look at me!"
"Class Chief!" Li Cunzheng quickly shouted at the clan leader of the Li family, but he looked at him holding the torch and walked towards the ghost shadow without looking back. After thinking about it, Li Cunzheng immediately greeted the two villagers beside him, and led them to chase the clan leader of the Li family.
Then, something amazing happened.
The ghost shadow clearly seemed to be walking towards everyone, but it really faded slowly when the head of the Li family and others approached, and then disappeared!
The Li family raised their chins proudly and looked towards the villagers. It seemed that they could see the shocked expressions on the villagers' faces through the white fog that could not be seen. After smiling slightly, they said to Li Cunzheng beside them: "Go back and let them all follow us! Let's start looking for people!"
Li Cunzheng seemed to be shocked by the disappearing ghost. After hearing the head of the Li family, he quickly began to nod and trotted all the way back towards the villagers.
At this moment, a villager listened and couldn't help but approach the clan leader of the Li family and whispered to him: "Class leader, listen... it seems like there is a horse sniffing!"
The head of the Li family immediately looked at the villagers in surprise, and quickly listened with concentration.
