Chapter 50 The truth gradually emerges (Part 2)
The village chief was not eager to talk about what happened ten days after the wedding. Instead, he talked about the past events of the year. There was no order here and there, but Ruan Zhan still started from the trivial things in the mountain village that he mentioned. , from his lament that the kind-hearted and powerful Abai Yajin only brought peace and happiness to the mountains and forests for just fifteen years, and from the little clues and clues in his words, we slowly understood Ah Ya's growth experience.
It turns out that Ah Ya and A Wu did not study with their master for long after being accepted as apprentices by A Baiya Jin. In less than three years in total, A Baiya Jin mysteriously disappeared. It's just that A'ya's understanding is very high. The master seems to have opened up his ignorance. He understood his own power for the first time, and then he became like a master without a teacher. His witchcraft became stronger and stronger, although it was not as powerful as Abaiyajin's. Extraordinary, but at only eight years old, he can solve many problems for the villagers. The older he gets, the more he is awe-inspiring. At a young age, he has become the leading wizard in the mountains.
It's just that he doesn't have the kindness of Abaya Jin, and he will charge fees for helping people exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters, and communicate with Yin and Yang. But his ability is unparalleled. He will solve problems that others cannot solve, and he will not raise prices randomly, so the mountain people don't care.
As for Awu, although he apprenticed with him and practiced with him, and even after his master died, he lived with Aya in the octagonal building and studied witchcraft until he reached adulthood at the age of fifteen, but his abilities were much worse than his. But even so, she is the strongest among the local witches.
It can be judged from this that Awu was severely punished for doing something wrong. It was definitely because he offended Aya that he did not dare to return to the village. He took refuge in the mountains and lived a savage life every day. This was because apart from him, , no one is more capable than Awu, and makes her afraid of being like that.
Moreover, Huang Boheng said personally that Awu would not end well if he offended him. Since he is just a puppet, reflecting the consciousness of the controller, then the ‘I’ in his mouth is actually the person behind the scenes, and what he thinks he is doing is actually done by the controller. And the person behind the scenes is most likely Ah Ya.
But why did she offend him? What did she do wrong? Is it because the relationship between classmates is not harmonious, or has she ruined something for him?
From Huang Shitou's experience and the feeling when fighting him, Ruan Zhan has reason to believe that many of his voodoo and witchcraft are his own creations, because Abai Yajin is so kind and it is absolutely impossible for him to do this. This is an extremely evil thing, and there is no time to teach it to him.
In the hallucination Abaya gave to Xiaoxia, she mentioned the matter of accepting a disciple. Was it accidental or intentional? Does this have anything to do with Sima Nan?
"If you can find my cousin Awu, see if you can help her." The village chief sighed and interrupted their thoughts, "I only know that she was hiding because she offended Aya. I know why, seeing her suffering like a savage in the mountains and forests, unable to go home, I feel in my heart - although she has divine power, lives longer than ordinary people, and ages very slowly, she is already almost seventy Years old."
"Don't worry, we will definitely help her." Jizhan promised.
The village chief nodded gratefully, "Speaking of this, I remembered that when Awang's father died, cousin Awu came back and stood in the woods as if she wanted to say something. I asked her to go back at that time Because no one knows that she is still alive in this world except me. I don’t want anything to happen to her again. Who knows if Ah Ya is dead? After the disappearance of those twenty villagers, he also disappeared. But since Ah Ya Cousin Wu is still very scared, he must not be dead."
"How did those many people disappear? It can't be silent, right?" Wan Li asked again.
"It's just silent." The village chief murmured, filled another bag of cigarettes, and then began to talk about the incident.
"In the days after the wedding, Ah Ya would sit outside the bamboo house in a daze during the day. He would stare at everyone who passed by his door, making people uncontrollably scared. But at night, he would start to wander all over the mountains and plains. Running around, no one knew what he was going to do. Everyone just felt more and more nervous, always feeling that something big was going to happen. Until the tenth night, he suddenly stayed at home and lit all the oil lamps. That night It was extremely dark, and there was no moon. It was pitch black everywhere. Only his wooden building was bright. From a distance, it looked like a big lantern.
The whole village did not dare to sleep, and even the dogs of each family hid in their dens and did not dare to come out. Only a few elderly uncles in the village and I, the village chief, gathered at Liangwazi’s house because he My home is opposite Aya's home, and the terrain is high, so I can clearly see the situation on the opposite side.
We saw that the door of his house was open on all sides, and Aya was sitting on the edge of the fire pit. In addition to the fire in the fire pit, there were oil lamps placed all around, surrounding him in the middle. He seemed to feel someone peeking at him, and actually turned his head towards Liang Wazi's house and smiled. This smile frightened me half out of my soul. I could see clearly that his eyes were not like ordinary people's. Instead, the whites and blacks of his eyes were mixed together, glowing like two silver balls.
He just sat there without moving, throwing some strange things into the fire pit from time to time. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be some plants I had never seen before and the remains and fur of unknown animals. As soon as those things were thrown into the fire pit, the flames jumped up to a height of more than a foot. However, the flames made people feel chilly because not only was the color a strange green, but the shape looked more like a hand. What he was reaching out to grab from the fire pit reminded me of the way his father and mother looked when they died!
Also, when those weird things are burned, there is an indescribable smell coming out. It may be said to be sweet, with a bit of burnt smell, and it may be said to be fragrant, but also smells of cow dung. The smell of this stuff makes people feel dizzy and makes them want to lie down on the ground and fall asleep immediately. I knew that Ah Ya was going to do something detrimental to the village. He tried his best to stay awake and burned his hands with his pipe, but he still kept fighting. When I looked at the rest of the people, not one of them was left asleep.
At this time, Ah Ya suddenly stood up and grabbed a black cat from nowhere. He hung a small bell around the black cat's neck, and then said something to the black cat, and the black cat obediently ran out of the house and ran out of the village. This was nothing at first, but the strange thing was that the white smoke rising from the burning of those strange things in the fire pit did not disperse at all. It was always covering the fire pit like a pot lid. At this time, as soon as the black cat left, the white pot Gai turned into something like a thin thread, and the black cat pulled the thread on one side and dragged it to the outside of the village. In the dark, I saw a line of white smoke in mid-air being pulled by a black cat, which looked like it had no head.
I knew he was about to start, and I was afraid that he would get confused and harm too many people, so I resisted the thought of going to sleep, plucked up the courage, ran to the yard of Liangwazi's house, and shouted to him - 'Huang Daogong, you are so noble, everyone doesn't want this to happen! I beg you on behalf of the folks in the village, please calm down! ’
He probably didn't expect anyone to dare to stop him, so he turned around and looked at me. I thought he would definitely hit me hard now, but he stood motionless for a while and said to me: It seems that my skills are really poor, and there are still people who haven't slept yet. Since you are awake, let me show you that no one who has offended me will have a good end, and what he owes me must be repaid. I want to make a kind of Gu that no one has ever made before, and I need someone to help me. They owe me, so let them do it! Don't worry, I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately, but I won't let go of people who feel sorry for me either! But, don’t tell me what happened tonight, or I will make it impossible for you to stand up forever.
He stared at those eyes with only white eyes, and his face was as green as the flames in the fire pit. I was so frightened that I couldn't speak. I just stood in the yard, and I wasn't sleepy anymore. I didn't notice at the time that I had to stand in the yard and shout and talk to him, but he just moved his mouth, but it was as clear as if he was speaking in my ear. Moreover, it was not that I was too frightened to move, but that I froze, feeling like a tree he planted, rooted in the yard.
After several packs of cigarettes, it was probably almost midnight, and the strange fireworks finally went out. At the same time, the sound of bells came from a distance. Although my whole body was stiff, I could still move my head. I turned around to take a look. , and saw that the black cat had returned. Although it was no longer trailing white smoke behind it, it was followed by several black shadows. Taking a closer look, there were more than a dozen people, who looked like villagers from Najin Village. Although I didn't know the bride's family, our two villages always had contacts, and I knew several of them. These people stood in a row, one on each other's shoulders, all with their eyes closed. When the bell on the black cat's neck rang, they would take a step.
I wanted to shout, but I couldn't. I saw Ah Ya walking out of the wooden building, with a small drum tied to his waist, and he was beating strange drum beats as he walked. Following the sound of his drum, I saw a few more people coming out of the village, and they looked like the people in Jincun, as if they were sleeping and walking at the same time. There were more than twenty large living people in one area, all of them looked the same. The grass under their feet was stepped on, but there was no sound of anyone speaking. The whole village was as quiet as a tomb, with only copper bells and drum. I took a closer look and found that these people were all related to Ah Ya's marriage, and there were more people in Jincun.
Ah Ya just beat the drum time and time again, and a group of people behind him followed him without resistance at all, including me. I felt that my whole body was still stiff and my legs were not working at all. The sound of the drum was like a whip, whipping us forward involuntarily, but the whole village was fast asleep and no one came out to help. In fact, even if he was awake, who would dare to anger Ah-Ya, who was completely unreasonable? His magic power was so high!
After walking for an unknown amount of time, we came to the edge of the cliff of Nanshan Mountain. Ah Ya stepped aside, turned around and looked at us with her cold white eyes, and said: You go first, I will be there soon. Then he reached out and pulled off the small drum and threw it under the cliff. The small drum sounded like someone was beating it in mid-air, making a "dong-dong" sound, which attracted the black cat to pounce on it regardless of life or death. It fell off the cliff, and the people behind him lined up as the bell rang, and jumped off one after another.
That cliff is a cliff. If a bird feather falls off, it will be shattered, let alone a human being? I stood at the last one, and when I saw that it was my turn, I was scared to death. Who knew that just when I thought I was certain to die, I bumped into an invisible wall on the edge of the cliff, blocking my way. I couldn't move forward or backward, so I just stood there shivering. I felt like there was nothing in front of me or behind me, not even the mute. I was anxious and scared, and no sound came out of my throat. I just stood there until When the sun went up the mountain, I felt my body loosen up and fell backward to the ground.
As soon as I could move, I ran back to the village and saw that everyone in the village was up, but all I remembered about what happened last night was that Ah Ya was afraid of people. I couldn’t remember anything else except that she was missing. Several people. I didn't dare say anything because I had been warned before. At noon, news came from Najin Village that more people were missing in the middle of the night. So the people in charge of the two villages gathered together and knew that the person who suddenly disappeared was either related to the wedding or a relative or friend of the bride. It must be Aya's revenge, so they did not dare to say anything about it and suppressed everything in the two villages. I was afraid that the more I pursued the matter, the less peace I would get, so the matter was dropped. In fact, everyone knew what was going on, but no one dared to say a word for fear of getting burned. Later, I quietly went to the bottom of the cliff, thinking that I should at least bury those poor unfortunate people properly. Unexpectedly, before I reached the place where they fell, I was stopped by a black and purple corpse gas. When I returned home, I A serious illness. From then on, Ah Ya disappeared. For the sake of the safety of their children and grandchildren, the people in the village pretended that this incident had never happened and that this person had never appeared.
So, if you hadn’t had Abaya’s forbidden dream, no matter how you asked about what happened back then, no one would tell you. I think Abaya couldn't bear her apprentice doing this, so she asked us to find a way to get him to return to the right path. ”
After the village chief finished talking about what happened back then, he sat on the chair tiredly and sighed, as if he was experiencing the past many years ago again while he was telling it. Ruan Zhan and Wan Li were a little shocked when they heard it.
Needless to say, those twenty or so people back then were used by Ah Mum to refine the ghost vood. Huang Boheng once told Xiaoxia the process of refining the voodoo. When Xiaoxia was playing the game of 'catch the bride' in the forest, I once encountered ghosts that seemed to appear in a village together. Although the number seemed to be larger, it cannot be ruled out that it was an illusion.
That is to say, after he refined the ghost Gu, he left the mountains or lived in seclusion. He did not come out until ten years ago. He controlled Huang Boheng and became famous in the city. Moreover, he was almost seventy years old. . If Huang Boheng is the puppet he controls, and all the puppet's behaviors are reflections of the controller's true state of mind, then Huang Boheng is infatuated with Xiaoxia, which means Ah Ya is infatuated with Xiaoxia.
But he is so old, is it possible? Even if Xiaoxia looks exactly the same as the Miao girl bride back then, is it still such a strong love and hate after so long? Moreover, judging from his attitude towards the coir raincoat ghost, it is obvious that he no longer likes her, so why does he still have a special interest in Xiaoxia?
Also, the ghost poison is meant to be cast on the newly deceased. If the ghost in the raincoat is the Miao girl bride controlled by the ghost ghost, how can his ghost poison be refined by then and how can he keep her? The soul?
With these questions, Ruan Zhan chatted with the village chief again and again. It was almost noon before the village chief left. Before he left, Ruan Zhan repeatedly assured him that he would definitely protect the village and gave him a few spells. Although they were not foolproof, they could at least protect the village chief and his family from being harmed for the time being.
"What are you going to do? Do you have a plan?" Wan Li asked.
At this time, Xiaoxia was still sleeping soundly and had no intention of waking up.
"I don't have a plan, but I have a feeling."
"What do you mean?"
"I feel that within three days, we will definitely face off against Ah Ya, so we must prepare in advance."
