Chapter 18 You are still alive!

  "Wealthy? Surnamed Liu? A child of the Liu family?"

  Chen Shi felt that the name was somewhat familiar, and suddenly there was a roar in his head, and he looked at the thin boy in front of him with wide eyes.

  He remembered that Sanwang once said that the last missing child was from the Liu family, named Fugui!

 The child in front of me is called Liu Fugui!

   Could it be that there are two Liu Fugui in this village?

 I’m afraid not!

 The skinny boy named Liu Fugui walked towards the village. Seeing that Chen Shi did not move, he waved to him quickly and said with a smile: "Chen Shi, come here, I will introduce you to some good friends!"

 Chen Shi hesitated and followed him towards the village.

 He originally thought he would have a living friend, but now it seems that this friend is just not that living.

  "Master Chen Fu!" Sanwang shouted loudly.

  Chen Shi turned a deaf ear and continued to follow Liu Fugui, while Heiguo quickly followed Chen Shi, feeling uneasy in his heart.

 The thin boy walked so fast that other people in the village seemed not to see him, allowing him to trot all the way to the center of the village. The houses in Huangyang Village, like other villages, are built in circles around the godmother, forming a concentric structure.

  Chen Shi looked forward and saw a temple standing in the center of the ruins of an ancient palace.

 The temple should have been built later. Although it is very old, it should still be very young compared with the ruins.

There is a bronze statue sitting cross-legged in the temple. I don’t know what age it was. The bronze statue is carved of a strange god with indigo skin and fangs in its mouth. It is more than six feet tall when sitting. If he stood up, he would be more than one foot tall.

  She is the godmother of Huangyang Village.

 Chen Shi followed Liu Fugui into the temple and saw various offerings piled up in front of the bronze statue, including chickens, ducks, geese, fish, shrimps and crabs, melons, fruits, pears and peaches. It was very rich.

  Sitting behind the offering was a fat man with a big head and big ears, holding a clear-water chicken in one hand, opening his mouth wide and stuffing it into his mouth. His mouth was full of oil. His other hand was holding a melon, and his eyes were looking around, lest someone snatch his offering.

 This round, fat man should be the divine form condensed by extraordinary power.

Chen Shi looked towards the corner of the temple. There were several children hiding in the corner, talking to Liu Fugui.

  "His name is Chen Shi, nickname is Xiao Shi, and he can see me!"

  Liu Fugui was very excited and said to the children, "My parents can't see me, and no one in the village can see me. Only he can see me! He must be able to see you too!"

  The children immediately looked at Chen Shi, showing hopeful expressions.

  "Brother Xiao Shi, my mother has been looking for me like crazy, she has been crying for a long time!"

 A child quickly came to Chen Shi, tears rolled down her eyes as she spoke, and she choked, "I saw my mother crying, and I wanted to cry too. I held my mother's legs and told her, I am here, but she can't hear or see her! Can you help me find my mother?"

The other child's eyes were red: "My parents can't see me either!"

The child behind said: "My mother is going blind from crying!"

Chen Shi's heart sank. These four children should be the four missing children.

  They have turned into ghosts, which means they are still late.

  All four children died.

  "As the godmother worshiped by the villagers, shouldn't I have the responsibility to protect the villagers?" Chen Shi turned around and looked at the fat man sitting behind the offerings, eating and drinking.

 The fat man stopped feeding him and turned his head with a fierce look.

 Hikaiguo rushed in front of Chen Shi, grinning and making a whine in his throat.

The fat man snorted: "I am only responsible for exorcising evil spirits, and other things have nothing to do with me! Kid, for Chen Yindu's sake, I will spare you this once! If you speak rudely to me next time and eat you, Chen Yindu won't even dare to let go of you!"

He turned back and continued to eat and drink.

 Chen Shi was slightly startled: "Other matters have nothing to do with you. Could it be that...the one who killed these four children was not an evil spirit?"

 The godmother in the village has the responsibility to drive away evil spirits, but if it is not an evil spirit that harmed people, then the godmother has no need to take action unless the villagers offer sacrifices.

  Chen Shi originally felt strange when he heard that there were evil spirits during the day.

I heard from my grandfather that evil spirits only appear at night because there is a strange power in the moonlight.

 It is extremely rare for evil spirits to appear in broad daylight.

 The big fat man turned a deaf ear to his words and did not answer.

  Chen Shi asked: "Fugui, how did you die?"

 Liu Fugui was startled and timidly said: "Brother Xiaoshi, am I dead?"

  "Don't be afraid first, think carefully, how did you get kidnapped?"
/>
 "I was peeing, and then the world was spinning, and I didn't know anything. I must have fallen asleep. I don't know how long I slept before I woke up. I heard my parents calling my name..."

 Chen Shi perked up after hearing this, and heard his parents calling his name, indicating that the place where the accident happened was not far away!

Liu Fugui said: "I climbed out over the wall and saw my parents looking for me, so I told them I was here. They couldn't hear or see me. Brother Shi, am I really dead?"

Chen Shi asked doubtfully: "Did you climb over the wall? Whose wall did you climb over?"
 "It's the abandoned house in the village that no one lives in."

  "The Tian family's abandoned house?"

  Liu Fugui nodded and said, "Yes, that family's surname is Tian. I also met a few of them at the Tian family." He pointed to several other children.

  Chen Shi looked at the other children and suddenly said: "The four of you come with me. Let's go to the Tian family's deserted house."

He took his four children out of the temple. The outside of the temple was dark and crowded with people. The villagers gathered outside the temple, not taking a breath and looking straight at him.

  Chen Shi looked back and saw that only Liu Fugui was following him. The other three children were trapped by the temple threshold and could not jump out.

 Chen Shi returned to the temple and said: "Come out with me, let's go take a look at the scene."

 One of the children said: "I can't get out. When I walked to the threshold, the threshold got higher and higher, blocking us!"

 The other two children nodded repeatedly.

  Hearing this, Chen Shi looked at the fat man behind the offering.

 The big fat man said lazily: "Others eat meat and I drink soup. These three little devils are dead and their souls were sacrificed to me. You can't take them away."

  Chen Shi wondered: "Why can Fugui leave?"

 "He is not dead yet, but his soul has left his body."

 The big fat man said, "When he dies, his soul will also belong to me."< br/>
  Chen Shi looked at him deeply, and did not try to take away the other three children. He said to Liu Fugui: "Let's go to the Tian family's abandoned house!"

  He walked out, and the villagers took the initiative to make way for them. Liu Fugui quickly followed him through.

  "Can this little Talisman Master do it?" someone asked worriedly.

   "There is nothing in the temple, only him talking to himself there, he may have mental problems."

  Chen Shi turned a deaf ear and asked Liu Fugui to lead the way, and soon took him to the deserted house of the Tian family.

This deserted house also has earthen walls, without a single brick. It is built with mud and ash. It is simply built with beams and covered with straw, which is the front hall.

 The door to the front hall is locked with an iron chain, which is already rusty.

 There is an old locust tree in the yard. It is extremely tall and lush, almost covering the entire yard.

  Looking further inside, you can’t see clearly.

  Chen Shi was not in a hurry to go in. He put down the book box and took out the knife. Heiguo quickly stepped forward and asked him to prick the knife to draw blood.

  "Heiguo, I've wronged you. I don't have the meat of strange beasts here. I'll go back and compensate you."

  Chen Shi studied ink, mixed the cinnabar and black dog's blood, and walked directly to the door of the Tian family's deserted house without using talisman paper, picked up a pen and drew talismans on the door.

He activated the Three Lights Righteousness Technique, and starlight came from all around, turning into the Big Dipper around his body. Divine light suddenly appeared behind his head, condensing to form a shrine.

  Chen Shi took a breath and felt the tip of the pen. He held the pen in one hand and quickly drew a picture of Yu Lei on a door panel. Then he exhaled it in one breath. The divine light in the back of his head faded away and the shrine disappeared.

  He is currently unable to retain his true energy, so he can only use one breath to make his shrine appear. When this breath dissipates, the shrine will also dissipate.

 Chen Shi took another breath, licked his fill of pen and ink, the shrine reappeared, and he drew another picture of the sacred tea.

  These two pictures are the door-god talismans painted on the peach charms.

 When the two pictures were formed, a faint divine light burst out from the door, and then became lighter and lighter. The divine light blended into the air, making it difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Chen Shi exhaled and said: "The peach charms didn't react at all. It seems that there are no evil spirits in this deserted house."

If there are evil spirits, the peach charms will definitely be stimulated, and the two door gods on the peach charms will jump out and drive away the evil spirits!

 Now that the peach charm has not been triggered, it means that there is no evil spirit in the deserted house.

  "So, who was the one who captured the bedwetting child?"

  Chen Shi held the pen and ink in one hand, pinched it lightly with the other, broke the iron chain locking the door, pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard. ——Although he has no magic power, his power is getting stronger and stronger.

  Kaiguo and Liu Fugui quickly followed.

 The villagers stopped outside the door, afraid to come in.

 This yard is full of grass and trees, the largest of which is the locust tree.

Chen Shi came to the locust tree, picked up his pen and concentrated on it. With a breath of true energy that had not yet had time to dissipate, he drew the Five Mountains Household Talisman on the locust tree.

  He caught a glimpse of a dry well in the courtyard, and immediately came to it and drew a well symbol on the edge of the well.

 In this way, there is a Taoist Talisman in the front to ward off evil spirits, a Five Mountains House-Guarding Talisman in the center, and even the well is blocked by the Well Talisman. The Tian family's deserted house will be impregnable, and no external evil will enter. If there is evil in the yard, you will feel suppressed by the five mountains and unable to move.

 Chen Shi put away his pen and asked: "Fugui, where did you wake up from?"

 "It's in the main room!"

 Liu Fugui quickly walked into the main room and said, "This is it!"

 Chen Shi followed, but Liu Fugui was nowhere to be seen.

 The hall was empty except for the altar table, with eight dark spiritual tablets placed on it. The tables and chairs were covered with dust, and there were many cobwebs in the corners.

  "Fugui, Fugui!"

  Chen Shi called out loudly, but Fugui, who had just rushed into the hall, disappeared.

  Chen Shi came to the side room on the left and suddenly felt a chill. There were four dark coffins parked in the side room on the left. The coffins were placed on benches and arranged neatly.

  He came boldly and saw that the nails on the coffin were still there. It should have been parked here for a long time.

  Chen Shi thought for a while but did not open the coffin.

  He then came to the side room on the right, where there were also four black coffins parked, also placed on benches without touching the ground.

Chen Shi frowned slightly. These eight black coffins should be the coffins of the Tian family. For some reason, they were only encoffined and not buried.

  There is no sign that the coffin nails were taken out.

 "Fugui had clearly come in just now, why did he suddenly disappear? Unless..."

 Chen Shi's eyes fell on a few coffins. He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to open the coffins. At this moment, the barking of dogs came. Chen Shi returned to the main hall, only to see the black pot parked outside the main room. He did not come in. He just raised his head and barked upwards.

  Chen Shi looked up and couldn't help but be stunned.

The roof above the main beam of the main room must have been renovated. Instead of thatch and straw, it was replaced with extremely smooth wooden boards, arranged in a herringbone shape. The wooden boards were very thick and were planed to an extremely bright finish. On them were drawn extremely complicated talismans with unknown blood, which were extremely bright red!

  The talismans are huge, each talisman has a radius of more than ten feet, and there are five talismans in total.

  The structure of the talisman is very strange. When you squint your eyes, the lines become hazy, and you seem to see five ferocious heads with open mouths and tongues more than ten feet long, like ghosts!

 Five chains hang from the mouth of Fulu Guitou, and four of them have a child tied to each. His hands and feet are trapped, and he is hung upside down on the roof.

The eyes, upper and lower eyelids of these four children were hooked with fish hooks, and the eyelids were opened. Their noses were also hooked with fish hooks and pulled upward.

  Their mouths, the upper and lower lips are hooked by four fishhook at the four corners and stretched in different directions, making the mouth look very big.

  They were on their heads and feet, their bodies were hanging sideways, and the tongues in their mouths were penetrated by an iron hook and pulled down.

 The iron hook is connected to a thin iron chain, and at the end of the iron chain is a small tripod the size of a palm.

  Their tongues are stretched very long.

 The blood flowing from their tongues followed the hooks and chains and flowed into the small cauldron.

      wealth!   

 Chen Shi saw the face of one of the children, it was the thin boy who was about to make friends with him, and he quickly shouted, "Liu Fugui! Wake up! Wake up!"

 The child seemed to hear his call and rolled his eyes drowsily.

  A wave of ecstasy surged into Chen Shi's heart.

"Alive!"

  "You are still alive!"

   "Don't touch Fugui! I will save you right now!"
