MTL - Salted Fish Zombie-Chapter 170 kind of ghost
From the first day of entering the dungeon, they began to discuss the dungeon name.
From the very beginning, they took the name of the dungeon "Growing Ghosts" as a verb-object structure. Planting ghosts is the same as planting flowers, they are all thinking about how to grow ghosts.
Ning Su said that he planted ghosts in the corpse. He just entered the dungeon and said it casually when he didn't know anything, but many people really thought about it in this direction, especially after Yangshihe came out.
Many people think that Mingqian Village tricked outsiders into the village to raise corpses, and used some evil method to grow imps on the mountain with corpses.
This statement was first proposed by Su Xiangsheng, who also added Li Bingyu and other women to this reasoning. Mingqian Village used these beautiful women as a sexual resource to attract men from outside.
It wasn't until he found the village chronicle for outsiders in the villa yesterday that he realized that things might not be that simple.
Shi Tianshu said: "Your deduction seems to be correct, but there is one thing that is not clear. The villagers even feed the ghosts to the people in their own villages. They are trembling and sacrificing a lot of land to grow those little ghosts. What are they used for?"
Su Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, "Tricking people to harm others, using some evil methods to make profits for yourself?"
Shi Tianshu shook her head, "They are very afraid of the ghosts in the corpse raising river, and they are also very afraid of the little ghosts on the mountain. They dare not even approach them, so how can they use them? In the past few days, we have not found any clues about their use of the little ghosts."
Su Xiangsheng thought for a while, "It is indeed."
Although he didn't see the scene where the villagers threw people into the corpse raising river, he heard that they threw them and ran away.
I also saw how scared the old man was when he mentioned the kid on the mountain.
People who can talk about Yangshi River normally panic when the little ghost on the mountain is mentioned, which shows that they really can't avoid the little ghost on the mountain.
He asked: "The little ghost on the mountain you said was indeed grown. What happened?"
The boat slowly approached the mountain at night, and the sky was faintly showing signs of dawn.
The heads in the stagnant water began to sink, and there were faint black things swimming in the turbid water.
Shi Tianshu looked at the blackness in the stagnant water and said, "Maybe a word was omitted in "Planting Ghosts". Have you ever heard of planting ghosts?"
Several people were taken aback.
Zhu Shuangshuang was the first to react. She was a screenwriter before entering the game, and she prefers supernatural suspense. "I know, there are often those old-fashioned horror movies, which are the combination of the living and the dead, so that the dead will give birth to children."
"There is another kind, that is, a ghost planted a ghost in the stomach of a living woman."
Shi Tianshu nodded, "The two types you mentioned are actually just one type, both of which belong to the direct yin-yang ghost fetus."
She looked at Su Xiangsheng, "You used to be a Taoist priest, so you should know another kind?"
Su Xiangsheng was thinking in a daze, when he suddenly opened his eyes wide, "I see! It turned out to be like this! Why didn't I think of it!"
Zhu Shuangshuang asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Su Xiangsheng said: "I heard from Master that there was a very insidious case. A rich businessman used his wife to make a fortune and then killed his wife. His wife died with resentment. His resentment has always been entangled with him. He has always been unlucky and often encountered danger. He almost died. Someone found him an unknown woman and asked him to plant a ghost fetus to eliminate his grievances, after planting the ghost fetus, both the woman and the child died, and the grievances on him were also taken away."
He came to a sudden: "The man surnamed Su in the villa came here to sow ghosts to relieve his grudges! Those little ghosts are grudges!"
"What is special about the village and the women that was introduced in the village chronicle is that they can accept resentment and ghosts!"
Several people were stunned for a moment.
Ning Su glanced at Ling Xiao, no wonder those little ghosts could enter the Yin Temple, it turned out that they were formed by ghost grievances.
Resentment is part of the "Yin God".
No wonder they are so powerful.
Shi Tianshu said: "I once heard an old man say in a dungeon that some men do too much evil and are haunted by evil spirits. There is a way to solve it, which is to transfer the evil spirits and their resentment to some women , the method of transfer is through planting ghost embryos."
This is worse than what Su Xiangsheng said.
Zhu Shuangshuang was surprised: "Those evil spirits are transferred to women, so let women bear these?"
Shi Tianshu: "In this dungeon, there are too many possibilities. It may be that some sins and resentments have been planted in the womb of ghosts. Those little ghosts are the result of sins and resentments. It may be that the haunting evil spirits have been transferred to women. Little ghosts are actually evil ghosts that were planted."
Zhu Shuangshuang thought about it, maybe it wasn't so easy to say, especially for women who were forced to take on these tasks.
"When did you have this idea?"
Shi Tianshu: "When I saw the dead player in your small building."
Zhu Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect to notice it so early, "Is there any clue about that player?"
Shi Tianshu looked at Ning Su and Ling Xiao on the opposite side, "Did you also see something?"
Ning Su said: "The players who died in the female player's dormitory are completely different from the male players who died. Their whole body was ruptured, but there was one place where the rupture was particularly serious, which was the stomach."
Zhu Shuangshuang didn't notice this, it was so tragic, she took a few glances and then stopped looking, and didn't find such details.
Zhu Shuangshuang: "Why the belly?"
Ning Su: "Those brats might want to tear their stomachs open and get in."
Zhu Shuangshuang: "..."
She immediately thought that the little ghost in the Yinshen Temple got up from under her hakama and lay on her stomach.
She clutched her stomach, cold sweat dripping from her back.
"But why do they want to get into the belly of the female player? Aren't they evil ghosts or grieving ghosts? Still have nostalgia for the mother's body?"
Ning Su didn't answer the question.
Shi Tianshu didn't say anything, instead she said: "The monsters in the corpse river attack the male players, and the little ghosts on the mountain attack the female players. It is easy to subconsciously regard them as two places. Now there is no connection between the ghosts, but those little ghosts The handprints left are water handprints, and there are water plants in the room."
Zhu Shuangshuang: "You mean?"
Shi Tianshu was silent for a few seconds, then touched her stomach, "They went down and crossed the river to find their mother."
When several players heard this, they couldn't express the feelings in their hearts for a while.
Ning Su said: "The heads in the corpse raising river are all women who have been planted with ghost fetuses."
"The old man said that the Tongming River leads to the Underworld, so everyone in the village is buried in water, and some directly throw the corpses into the Tongming River. Later, there is something wrong with the corpses in the Tongming River. They have to feed the corpses with living people. .”
"Actually, it may be that most of the people were buried in water, and only those women who had been planted with ghost fetuses were thrown into the Tongming River."
After imagining that scene, several people felt very heavy in their hearts.
Su Xiangsheng said angrily: "When we asked him why he wanted to feed men, he said that men have strong yang energy. He was lying to us. It is because men are enough to eliminate their resentment. It is men who persecute them. A ghost is planted in the body!"
Ning Su nodded, "Some little ghosts may realize that they are their mothers, and they will go to the river to find them."
Zhu Shuangshuang: "But, their mother doesn't want to see them at all."
They may not be able to accept it at all, giving birth to such a thing.
Ning Su looked at Shi Tianshu's stomach, but said nothing.
The others didn't speak either.
The sky finally showed a white belly, and bright sky light leaked from above the red clouds, dispelling the darkness of Mingqian Village.
I don't know if it is an illusion, but the water in the village seems to have dropped a lot, and it is no longer so scary.
But the heavy rain continued, and there were voices in the rain.
The boat stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the little ghosts would not haunt the mountain during the day, so they went up the mountain to rest.
In the pouring rain, the only ones who can rest are the few villas and the Yin Temple.
Several people walked there.
Su Xiangsheng said: "According to this speculation, those little ghosts were planted from the bodies of those women. It should be said that these little ghosts were derived from the things in the corpse raising river. The little ghosts are indeed not ghost owners. The ghost owner should be from the corpse raising river. ghosts. However, those heads have similar abilities and different looks, so they are not ghost masters, so who exactly is the ghost master?"
That's the key now.
Whether it was to verify their guesses or complete the decryption of the copy, they had to find the ghost master.
However, they have been in the dungeon for so long, and they have never met the ghost master, and they have no idea where he is.
Shi Tianshu: "No matter what, we have to wait until they come out at night. Let's go to the villa to eat and rest first, and then look for other clues in the villa."
Ning Su: "You can ask that old man again."
"..."
Shi Tianshu and the others went to the villa where they met the little ghost, while Ning Su and Ling Xiao took their two children to the Yinshen Temple.
Ning Su finally saw the Yin God statue.
He stared at it for a while, then bowed to the stone statue, "Lord Yin God bless us to pass the dungeon smoothly, and bless me to be born smoothly."
Ling Xiao: "..."
Ning Su went up to touch the stone statue after paying homage, "Is Mingqian Village really as good as its name?"
Ling Xiao: "I don't know if the village lives up to its name, but this village is indeed special."
That said, their speculations may be true.
The women in Mingqian Village are indeed special. In fact, women cannot be said to be special. Maybe everyone who grew up here is special, but this specialness alone has become their suffering.
Those men who were haunted by evil spirits and whose bodies were unclean transferred their sins to them and let them bear it all.
This is really a ridiculous and cruel thing.
Ning Su lowered his head slightly, feeling depressed.
Ling Xiao rubbed his head, "Don't think about it."
Ning Su let out a "huh".
He felt uncomfortable, not only feeling the malice towards them in this dungeon world, but also because he realized that the system might be sucking Ling Xiao's blood again.
If their conjectures are true, men who have done too much evil, are burdened with grievances and sins, and even haunted by evil spirits, transfer evil spirits and sins to women, and finally appear in this world as ghost fetuses.
The background of this dungeon world easily reminded Ning Su of Ling Xiao's background.
The God of Cookery Flower is an evil ghost.
However, in this dungeon world, there are traces of Ling Xiao's visit, and the Yin God enshrined in Mingqian Village is him.
There is a feeling that the village feels like this because of him.
Those little ghosts come and go in and out of the Yinshen Temple every night, under his nose.
I don't know if Ning Su is thinking too much, if this is the case, the system will really **** blood from Ling Xiao, which is extremely abominable.
Ning Su didn't know if Ling Xiao thought of this.
He hugged Ling Xiao, raised his head and showed him a big smile.
Ling Xiao lowered his head to suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth.
Ling Xiao: "Don't think too much, just sleep for a while."
Ning Su nodded, he didn't sleep much all night, he was indeed sleepy.
When Ning Su was about to fall asleep, he vaguely thought that he seemed to have forgotten something.
It was dawn and the water fell.
The players who had been sitting on the roof for several hours finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the shadow left by the things in the water last night was too great, and no one dared to go down for a while.
They continued to sit on the roof.
No one dared to sleep deeply in the middle of the night last night, and ghosts appeared in the second half of the night, and I was always tense, and I was sitting in the rain until now, and I was really exhausted at this time.
Pang Yang: "Didn't Ning Shi say that she would give us a bamboo raft?"
Meng Jiang: "Wait a minute, it takes time to make bamboo rafts."
Chen Tian: "Well, maybe he is doing it."
Pang Yang nodded, and continued to look forward eagerly, seeing it as a ship-watching stone.
Ning Su woke up and remembered what he forgot.
The three men on the roof who have a relationship with him.
"..."
He woke up from Ling Xiao and pushed Ling Xiao, "Did I say last night that I was going to send a bamboo raft to Pang Yang and the others?"
Ling Xiao half-opened his eyes, "You only said to send it off, but you didn't say the specific time."
Ning Su: "...that's right."
Ning Su kissed him, lay on the bed on him for a while with peace of mind, and then slowly got up.
After he and Ling Xiao came out of the room after sleeping well, they met Pang Yang's resentful eyes.
Ning Su scratched his chin, "Are you guys here?"
Pang Yang: "If we don't come, will it be raining on the roof all the time?"
Ling Xiao: "It doesn't look stupid."
"..."
Shi Tianshu called them: "You are hungry, come and eat something."
Guisheng and Manman were already eating deliciously by her side.
The two children sat next to Shi Tianshu, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at Shi Tianshu's stomach from time to time, as if they wanted to stick to each other.
Ning Su: "..."
Ning Su and Ling Xiao went there together to eat some simple food they found from the mountains.
While eating, Pang Yang asked Shi Tianshu: "President, what should we do next? The water will definitely be higher tonight, and the roof may not be safe."
At present, it seems that we can only go up the mountain, but there are little ghosts on the mountain.
This is to drive them to a desperate situation.
Shi Tianshu: "After dinner, divide into three groups. A group of people learned how to make two boats from Ning Shi. A group of people continued to look for clues in the villa on the mountain. A group of people went down to The village continues to look for clues."
"The monsters in the corpse river like to attack male players, and the little ghosts on the mountain like to find female players. At night, the female players are in the village by boat, and the male players try to see if they can stay on the mountain."
"If you keep at it, we should be able to get out of here in two days at most," she said.
Several players nodded.
Ning Su said, "I can row a boat with you to find that old man."
Su Xiangsheng: "Yes, he is old, so he must know a lot of things in the village. Now that we know more, we should be able to ask some more questions. I'll go with you."
Ning Su: "If you can't ask, then catch the kid tonight and see if you can ask."
"..."
Su Xiangsheng: "How to catch?"
Ning Su: "Let the ghosts catch it."
Guisheng: "Huh? Friends?"
Ning Su: "Yes, use your cuteness to make friends."
Guisheng: "Yeah!"
"..."
Several players didn't know where to start.
After catching up on sleep and eating, it was already noon.
Manman continued to stay with Shi Tianshu, Guisheng followed Ling Xiao skillfully prepared the materials for the boat, and Ning Su and the others rowed the boat to the village.
After dawn, the water did drop a lot, and the villagers on the second floor of the small building in the village were doing normal activities.
I don't know if the water has gone down, or if only their player's small building has risen to the second floor, and the other villagers' buildings are below the second floor.
Zhu Shuangshuang said: "We don't have to just look for that old man, we can also try other people in the village, especially the women here."
Ning Su nodded, "You're right, but they tried. The women here are very defensive, and they couldn't get in. After you get out of the old man, you can try."
This time when the old man saw them, he didn't drive them away immediately, but asked with a bad attitude, "Why are you here again?"
Su Xiangsheng took out the photo album, showed him Li Bingyu's photo, and asked directly, "Do you know her?"
Their task today is mainly to find the ghost master.
They didn't ink at all and went straight to the point.
When the old man saw the photo, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression changed instantly. He shivered and pushed them, "I don't know you, I don't know you, you guys go away!"
Ning Su: "Aren't you afraid that she will come to you in the middle of the night if you lie in front of her photo and say you don't know her?"
The old man's eyes widened and his body stiffened.
Ning Su continued to approach, "You use her to grow ghosts to make money, and you say you don't know her in a blink of an eye?"
Old man: "No! No! I didn't take the money! Don't swear!"
The three looked at him quietly.
Realizing what he had said, the old man sank down into a chair.
Zhu Shuangshuang said: "I don't know why you didn't tell. Are you afraid of her? But keeping silent about the past will make her more angry than revealing the truth?"
The old man trembled, covered his eyes with withered hands, and said distressedly, "Why do you ask me?"
Ning Su: "Then tell me, who do we go to? Can this village talk, the village chief?"
The old man said, "The village chief is dead."
Ning Su: "You will be punished for doing bad things."
elder:"…"
After a long time, the old man said: "You are right, he was murdered by a ghost during the rainy season the year before last."
Zhu Shuangshuang: "Did Li Bingyu die the year before last?"
The old man nodded sadly.
Su Xiangsheng: "How did she die?"
Old man: "She's crazy."
Ning Su slammed the photo on his face, "She's here, you can talk about it when you think about it."
elder:"…"
Old man: "I didn't say it! They said it! That's what they all said."
"..."
Old man: "They are indeed more likely to go crazy, and many people may believe it."
Zhu Shuangshuang: "Why do they tend to go crazy? Is it because they were imprisoned?"
Old man: "I don't know if it's the kind of ghost fetus you mentioned, but we call it a kind of ghost here."
Having said that, the old man didn't hide anymore.
He sighed, and said, "Our village is called Mingqian Village. There is a legend of Yinshen, saying that it is the village closest to the underworld. In fact, Mingqian Village is very, very far from the town. This climate, and Nothing grows well."
Ning Su sneered with a slumped face: "I don't think it's not good to grow anything, but you are pretty good at planting ghosts."
"..."
Zhu Shuangshuang pulled Lan Ningsu, and whispered to him, "Don't do this, maybe he didn't participate, don't blame him."
Ning Su didn't speak.
I don't know why, but his attitude towards the old man has changed a lot from the first time he came here.
Zhu Shuangshuang said to the old man, "Go on."
Ning Su: "Say it, it will be an atonement."
The old man looked away and didn’t look into his eyes. He looked towards a door and said in a hoarse voice: “Nothing grows well in the field. The life of the villagers is very difficult. Some families can’t even open the pot. Everyone gathers together. Think of ways to."
"At that time, someone proposed to use village legends as a gimmick to engage in tourism."
No wonder the village chronicles are written like tourism propaganda.
Ning Su complained in his heart expressionlessly.
"People in our village really believe in this legend, and the water burial is also true. There is a complete and serious process. There are many beautiful women in our village. They may really be able to attract outsiders. This proposal has been agreed by everyone."
"But we don't know how to let people know, so let the children who are studying outside talk about it."
"Later, a kid who was studying in high school in the city really brought a few people here."
"One of them looked like a Taoist priest, and our village has been different since then."
Su Xiangsheng: "..."
Old man: "At that time, we were very excited."
They were the first group of outsiders from Mingqian Village. They were dressed brightly, and they looked different from the yellow-faced and emaciated villagers like them.
The villagers were very excited and nervous.
They told them about their village carefully and showed them around the village.
In fact, they were very clueless at that time. Seeing these people who had seen the world at first glance, they realized that apart from the legend of the underworld and the cold weather, there was really nothing worth seeing in their village.
Unexpectedly, after they wandered around the village for a day and met everyone in the village, their hearts were moved.
A few days later, they came again.
They talked for a long time with a few people in the village who could talk to each other that day.
They didn't know what they were talking about. In the end, the villagers learned that they said that Mingqian Village had a unique village culture and cool weather, so they could build a resort, and gave them more than one million yuan in advance to let them build privacy first. A better holiday homestay.
It was the first time they saw so much money, and they were so excited that the whole village built what they thought were the best villas on the mountain.
The villa was built magnificently, on the hillside, it will not be affected by them, and it can overlook the whole village and the Tongming River.
They all saw days of abundance ahead.
Before long, one family did become rich.
Old man: "You may not know that we have been poor all our lives, and it is difficult to eat enough. We are shocked and envious to see that the family has fish and meat, and has built a small two-story western-style building. Especially their daughter, there is still Such thick gold necklaces and jade bracelets."
Su Xiangsheng: "Is the daughter of that family the first to be planted with ghosts?"
The old man nodded, "We didn't know at first, but later another family became rich. Someone in the village saw their daughters go to the villa on the mountain, so there were rumors about it."
"However, we are really poor. If you haven't lived that kind of life, you won't understand, and they are too rich."
Hearing that the old man was still making excuses, Zhu Shuangshuang's attitude was a bit bad, "I see, what happened later? When did you find out that something was wrong?"
When the old man recalled, there was panic on his face, "When the woman in the first villa was pregnant."
