Chapter 602 Chapter 768-769 Village Entrance

Chapter 768

"Who is he?" Shen Mengying's voice was trembling.

With Li Teng by his side, he originally felt a certain sense of security.

Moreover, she has already had the consciousness to serve as cannon fodder for Li Teng, but she is still afraid of the unknown horrors that she cannot see.

"It's an aunt. She crawls on the ground and her face is upside down." Nana looked down for a while and then answered Shen Mengying.

"Hubby, this village is full of ghosts!" Shen Mengying looked at Li Teng for help.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. These ghosts either don't hurt people or have limited abilities. Otherwise, they would have attacked us long ago." Li Teng was very indifferent.

"Husband, you are right, there is really nothing to be afraid of! As long as you are here, we are not afraid of anything!" Zhang Mengdi also said a few words.

Shen Mengying glared at Zhang Mengdi, feeling a little dissatisfied with Zhang Mengdi calling Li Teng 'husband'. In addition, she said she was afraid, but Zhang Mengdi said she was not afraid. Wasn't this a deliberate slap in her face?

Being so angry, Shen Mengying was not as scared as before when she focused her attention on Zhang Mengdi.

Just... Zhang Mengdi's daughter is a little strange. Why can she see ghosts? Is there something wrong with her? For example, is she also a ghost?

If you have the chance, you have to remind Li Teng not to be fooled by the plot NPC mother and daughter. Maybe they are pretending to be the boss of this plot mission?

But he probably won't listen to her. You can guess it by looking at how much he dotes on his daughter.

Good advice is offensive to his ears! How should I remind him?

Thinking wildly, Shen Mengying followed everyone to the entrance of the village without knowing it.

There was a fire burning at the entrance of the village, and there were several Taoist priests and two people who looked like village cadres guarding there.

There is firewood in the fire, but more of it is briquettes. The village is next to a coal mine, and the briquettes cannot be burned in a short time.

There were at least five or six such fires on the stone bridge leading out from the village entrance. The fires burned very brightly and illuminated the village entrance very brightly.

"What are you doing? Why don't you stay at home and run around in the middle of the night?" A man who looked like a village cadre came over and stopped everyone.

"We want to know what happened in the village, why we are not allowed to go out at night, and what is outside the village. Why do people say it will be scary and regretful if they see it." Shen Mengying asked the village cadres straightforward questions. Anyway, Li Teng

When you are around, you are not afraid of being beaten if you offend someone.

"This is what the Taoist stipulates. The Taoist stipulates this to protect us." The village cadre answered Shen Mengying.

"There must be a reason for the Taoist's rules, right? We are not allowed to go out at night for no reason, and we are not allowed to leave the village. They say it is for our own good. How do you know if there is any conspiracy? Or you have done something shameful?"

Shen Mengying never got an answer, so she simply resorted to provocation.

As soon as Shen Mengying said these words, the face of the village cadre suddenly turned ugly.

Several Taoist priests also looked over here.

"Ah ha... They just came back from other places. They don't know much about the situation in the village, so their words are a bit rushed. Please don't mind..." Zhang Mengdi quickly moderated a few words.

"The Taoist leader's rules are not compulsory. If you must go out at night, we will not stop you by force, we will just persuade you. As for leaving the village at night, it is too dangerous and will almost certainly lead to death, so we will try our best to prevent the villagers from going out at night.

Village." A Taoist priest came over and saluted Shen Mengying.

Now Shen Mengying was speechless.

In order to find the answer, she had deliberately stirred up trouble.

But these Taoist priests were not annoyed or angry, they just patiently explained to her and let her punch the cotton.

"Taoist Priest, what dangers are there in the village at night? Why are we told to stay at home and not go out? What dangers are outside the village? Why are we certain to die?" Shen Mengying thought for a while and continued to ask relentlessly.

"In the village... there are ghosts in the village. These ghosts come out at night, and they may hurt people. Outside the village... there are demons, demons that come out at night. As for what kind of demons they are, everyone sees them differently.

"Most of the people who went out at night and saw demons never came back. The very few who came back couldn't explain the situation clearly. They were just scared, frightened, and regretful..."

The Taoist priest answered Shen Mengying.

"In other words, if I want to find out what's outside, I have to go out and see by myself?" Shen Mengying was a little disappointed with the Taoist priest's answer.

"Yes, but we don't recommend doing this...if you don't want to make your loved ones sad." The Taoist priest nodded.

Shen Mengying looked across several fires into the darkness outside the village.

Nothing can be seen.

"Are these fires used to ward off demons?" Shen Mengying pointed to the fires on the bridge.

"Yes."

"Isn't the devil too cowardly? Can he be stopped by just a few fires?" Shen Mengying questioned.

"This is a fire array set up by the Taoist priest, not an ordinary fire." The Taoist priest explained.

"There are ghosts in the village, why don't you clean up those ghosts? And the ghosts in the village are running around. What's the difference between us hiding at home and in the village?" Shen Mengying continued to question.

"Every household has talisman made by the Taoist priest on its courtyard wall, which can ensure the safety of the home, but in such a large area of ​​​​the village, there is no way to ensure the safety of walking at night." The Taoist priest replied.

"Really? Then why do little ghosts run into the yards of some villagers?" Shen Mengying immediately pointed out the problem in the Taoist priest's words.

"Can you see the little ghost?" The Taoist priest discovered the problem in Shen Mengying's words.

Zhang Mengdi suddenly became alert and glared at Shen Mengying.

"Well, I can see it, but sometimes it works." Shen Mengying also realized that she had slipped up and quickly made up for it.

"The kid ran into the villager's yard... It's possible that the kid was the dead child of that villager. The talisman was familiar with its scent, so it didn't stop it. Or maybe the talisman they had posted for a long time had lost its spiritual power.

It’s not enough.”

The Taoist priest thought for a while and added a few words, but did not mention the fact that Shen Mengying could see the little ghost again.

"You mean, the Taoist priest's talisman may not be able to protect us. Even if we stay at home, ghosts may enter the house and face us, right?" Shen Mengying continued to question.

"Please! The Taoist priest has no obligation to us villagers. I am very grateful that he is willing to protect us. It is not good for you to question the Taoist priest like this." The two village cadres nearby became a little unhappy after hearing Shen Mengying's words.

"Making talismans consumes a lot of mana. The Taoist Priest is not in good health. The village is so big and there is no way to replace every failed talisman in time. Please be considerate of all the fellow villagers." The Taoist priest was not angry and continued to be patient with Shen Mengying.

explained.

Chapter 769

In the entire Taoist temple, only the Taoist priests are from outside. These Taoist priests are all children of the villagers.

"Honey, what do you think?" Shen Mengying had finished asking all the questions she needed to ask. She didn't know what to do next, so she turned to look at Li Teng, wanting to hear Li Teng's opinion.

"You really want to know what's going on outside the village?" Li Teng spoke in a low voice.

"Well, how about... I go out alone to see if I can find some clues for you. It doesn't matter if I die anyway." Shen Mengying hesitantly suggested it to Li Teng.

Li Teng said nothing, seeming to be thinking about something.

"I think the key point of the plot this time is the so-called demon outside the village, which must be investigated clearly." Shen Mengying stepped forward and added a few words in a low voice.

"Okay, go and take a look. If you find something is wrong, return immediately." Li Teng was silent for a while and then nodded.

Seeing that Li Teng agreed, Shen Mengying walked towards the entrance of the village, but was stopped by several Taoist priests.

"You can't go out, you will die if you go out." The Taoist priests persuaded Shen Mengying.

"I am responsible for whether I die or not. Didn't you just say that? Rules are not mandatory." Shen Mengying protested loudly.

"Please persuade her, don't die for curiosity." Two village cadres also came to do the work of Li Teng and Zhang Mengdi.

"Let her go." Li Teng answered the village cadre.

After Shen Mengying questioned again, several Taoist priests finally got out of the way.

Shen Mengying walked carefully along the stone bridge at the entrance of the village to the outside of the village, passing by one fire and another. She kept looking at the darkness outside the village with her eyes, wanting to know what danger was outside.

"Nana, did you see anything? Did you see anything around Aunt Shen?" Li Teng carried Nana to the entrance of the village and asked her a few questions in a low voice.

Nana shook her head.

"Don't leave again! Once you reach the last fire, you can't come back!" Seeing that Shen Mengying had reached the last fire and was about to cross the stone bridge, several Taoist priests couldn't help shouting to her.

Several times.

Shen Mengying turned around and glanced this way, but still walked around the fire and walked off the stone bridge.

Li Teng handed Nana over to Zhang Mengdi and walked a few steps towards the stone bridge, looking at Shen Mengying on the other side of the stone bridge.

After Shen Mengying crossed the stone bridge, she stood there in shock and didn't move.

After a while, she suddenly started crying and screaming, and then walked into the darkness outside while crying and yelling, and then let out an extremely miserable scream.

Li Teng rushed over and tried to pull her back.

At the same time, an old man in Taoist robes rushed past Li Teng at a faster speed, muttering something in his mouth, and threw out more than a dozen talisman papers as he rushed.

More than a dozen talismans shot out and exploded in front of Shen Mengying like a dozen grenades.

Li Teng rushed over and hugged Shen Mengying back.

Several Taoist priests also rushed through the fire and pulled the old man in Taoist robes back to the village.

Shen Mengying in Li Teng's arms closed her eyes tightly and seemed to have passed out.

After being helped back by several Taoist priests, the old man in Taoist robes covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.
