Chapter 119 [Ghost Story Harvest Village]
Jinhai County is located in the south of Guangqing Prefecture, on the Luoyang Plateau, where the altitude is rising layer by layer. Although the county is flat, it is full of loess and flying sand. The temperature difference between day and night is large, and only autumn is rainy all year round.
affected by this harsh environment.
The people living here face the loess and their backs to the sky, and most of them live by growing high-quality barley that is resistant to drought and cold.
Every early autumn.
When the barley is about to be ripe and unripe, when it is growing.
Looking down from the sky, one can see that the continuous golden wheat fields are like the waves of the sea, which is very spectacular, so it is named Jinhai.
Rumble——
The sea of thunder surged, and the sky was like ink.
On the loess land, the gust of wind that rolled up the flying sand roared across the border, and it was dim and hazy everywhere you looked.
Today's autumn is too abnormal.
The frequency of thunderstorms in Gimhae County is far higher than in previous years, and it is accompanied by strong winds, which has brought great inconvenience to production and life.
"Thunderstorms and strong winds have been driving down for many days. This year's wheat production will be greatly reduced."
On the official road of the field.
Chen Hong, who had a tall head and a dark complexion, glanced at the overturned wheat fields in the distance, and sighed regretfully.
"Whatever it does."
The lean man on the other horse grinned heartlessly and said:
"As long as the Tyrant Whale League doesn't fall, we won't be hungry. Isn't meat better than rice noodles?"
"What is meat?"
The remaining fat man with an open chest and belly slammed his mouth and said:
"If it's true, it's 10,000 taels. It's nothing to eat every day."
"Tsk tsk, that's what you said."
Chen Hong and the fleshy man also lifted their spirits when they heard the words, and a little greed appeared in their eyes.
a few days ago.
An order was issued from the northern headquarters.
Posted a list to offer a reward for unusual information, but it was true, and the reward was 10,000 taels of silver, which caused a sensation in the entire Guangqing Mansion.
The so-called great reward must have a brave man.
There are suddenly a large number of "bounty hunters" in the folk arena.
Either acting alone, or in groups, collecting all kinds of anecdotes, or drilling into deep mountains and old forests, all want to be the lucky one.
What is the risk.
Ten thousand taels!
In this world, I don't know how many people can break their heads and rush to die!
The three of Chen Hong from Tangkou of Luoshan County are one of the thousands of "bounty hunters".
The cultivation of the three is not high.
The strongest Chen Hong is only barely able to raise his strength, and his influence is limited, and he is usually the one who is called around.
few days ago.
Although the three of them got together and talked about a lot of ambitions, they basically didn't know what to do after waking up.
Fortunately.
It may be time to turn around in response to that sentence.
Last night, the three of them overheard a strange story from a traveler.
It is said that there is a land called Fengshou Village in the county. It has been stormy for many days, but the wheat fields have not fallen down. It is said that it is blessed by the God of Valley.
The stupid talk of gods and ghosts.
The three of them didn't believe it.
Few of the martial arts practitioners believe in any gods and Buddhas, because the powerful are themselves comparable to gods and Buddhas.
The three became suspicious.
After a hasty preparation without notifying the hall master, with the idea of eating alone, he brought his swords and rushed to Fengshou Village at dawn today.
The reason why it was delayed until the evening has not yet arrived.
Because of……
"No, are you sure there is this place?"
After running for dozens of miles, the three of them, who had gradually left the official way, stopped again. The lean Zhuo Jun looked at the map in his hand, frowning into the word Chuan.
Look up and look around.
The altitude is already very high, like the black clouds in the sky, the wind whimpers and howls, all you can see is the dark red Gobi Gobi, desolate and vast, not to mention people, not a single bird can be seen.
Can there be villages in this land?
Still growing wheat?
What nonsense!
Zhuo Jun felt that they were being tricked.
"I haven't arrived yet, what's the rush?"
The bare-chested Yang Long grabbed the map, squinted his eyes to compare the surrounding terrain, and finally looked at a dark red high ramp ahead:
"I listened carefully. You can see Fengshou Village after turning over the Red Mountain. After a long time, you have to take a look."
Rumble——
At this moment, the sound of thunder and thunder exploding in the sky became louder, and the rolling thunder dragon seemed to be running above the head, and the three of them trembled in fright.
The gust of wind slapped the three of them with growing raindrops, adding a bit of chill.
The rainstorm is coming!
"Don't care if it's true or not, hurry up and find a place to shelter from the rain!"
Chen Hong frowned and urged.
The sky was dark and the rain was drifting. Not only was his body cold, but he also felt a sense of uneasiness for no reason.
"drive!"
At that moment, the three of them set off again.
A few minutes later.
Three people and three horses boarded the Red Mountain, and immediately raised their eyes to look around.
"this……"
next moment.
All three looked shocked.
It was within the dam under the desolate Red Mountain.
A large golden wheat field is undulating in the strong wind. At the end of the wheat field, there are green and sparse forests, and there are hundreds of villages. There is a straight dark red village road extending outside the village, dividing the large wheat field into two.
At the entrance of the dark red dirt road.
There is an archway standing tall, with the vague words "Fengshou Village" on it.
Take a look.
It's like an oasis in the arid desert.
Unusually abrupt.
There was an unspeakable weirdness.
"This village..."
Chen Hong looked down at Fengshou Village, and the feeling of weirdness in his heart became more and more intense.
Fengshou Village is not big. It is rectangular in shape, about two or three miles wide and five miles long. It can only be regarded as a small village.
The weird part is.
So neat!
Pieces of wheat fields are like measured by a ruler, neat and uniform, neither wide nor long.
The village at the end.
The houses are all printed out like a mold, and there is basically no difference.
And about those trees...
Although no tree species can be seen, it is already autumn and it is located on a dry plateau, and there is no water source, but the branches and leaves are still lush and green?
Finally, the wheat field.
Dense and tall!
As the strong wind blew, countless stalks of wheat taller than a person were connected into one body, and there was no soil in sight during the shaking.
The whole village.
like...
Like a dyed ink painting.
It is full of vitality, but it is very inconsistent and abrupt, without the sense of reality that blends with the real environment.
crackle!
clatter——
Just when Chen Hong hesitated.
A thunder dragon shone in the sky, smashing and blasting countless mudstones on the hilltop not far from them. The drifting heavy rain flooded the sky and the earth like the opening of the Milky Way, and the vision became blurred in an instant.
"What are you thinking, waiting to be struck by lightning!"
Zhuo Jun and Yang Long were taken aback by the flash of lightning just now, they hurriedly comforted the horses, and shouted at Chen Hong who was in a daze.
Then, under the continuous raindrops that beat his flesh and blood, he dragged his horse and ran towards Fengshou Village at the foot of the mountain.
"Hey, be careful..."
Chen Hong, who was getting more and more uncertain in his heart, reminded him subconsciously.
But seeing that the two horses had already run far away, he could only grit his teeth and drag the horses to keep up.
When the three of them rolled and crawled all the way, they entered the boundary of Fengshou Village against the heavy rain.
His clothes were already soaked, and his whole body was covered in mud. He was cold and tired, and he was extremely embarrassed.
"Don't enter the village!!"
Chen Hong kept a bit of vigilance in his heart, wiped the rainwater off his face, pulled the two people who wanted to enter the village, pointed to the impenetrable wheat field beside him and said, "It can also shelter from the rain inside."
I don't know...
"I'm starving to death. If you don't dare to go, just stay by yourself and leave us alone."
Zhuo Jun and Yang Longtou replied impatiently, and disappeared into the dark night along the dark red soil road without looking back.
Vaguely.
You can also hear the rumbling of their hungry stomachs.
Two bastards, it's better to die!
Seeing that he couldn't stop Chen Hong, he could only curse in his heart. After tying his horse to the boulder beside the road at the entrance of the village, he went into the dense wheat field alone.
Merlin is very dense.
It can be said to be airtight.
After hastily digging out a shelter, and the rain stopped pouring down on his head, Chen Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief as he twisted his wet clothes.
Gululu~
The sound of gastrointestinal peristalsis is somewhat clear in the narrow wheat hole.
Run around for a day.
I didn't bring much dry food.
Being poured by the cold rain again.
The oil and water in his stomach to maintain energy has long been empty.
Fortunately.
Chen Hong was also a hungry person when he was young, and his will was not bad, so he took off the water bag and took a sip to suppress the hunger in his stomach.
but……
Gululu~
Not long ago.
The hunger that had been suppressed suddenly came out ten times and a hundred times without any warning.
Chen Hong's throat kept twitching, his eyes straightened, and all kinds of delicacies appeared in his mind, and he wanted to taste a piece of shit.
huh huh~
Just then, a gust of cold wind blew past.
There is a sweet smell in the air, it seems to be everywhere in all directions, and it is extremely rich.
The source of the aroma——
wheat!
Full grain.
A single grain of wheat can be as large as a peanut.
Brush it!
The vigilance in Chen Hong's heart, dizzy from hunger, had already gone beyond the sky. He raised his hand and picked up a few heavy ears of wheat, his eyes were strangely red, and he stuffed them directly into his mouth.
Click!
Lightning and thunder illuminate the sky and the earth.
In the flash of thunder.
Along with Chen Hong's chewing, the wheat grains 'skinned to pieces', revealing the blood-red grains inside, crushed and crushed, staining Chen Hong's two rows of teeth in a short while.
Kacha Kacha——
Chewing sounds came and went.
One after another.
Chen Hong seemed to be possessed by a starving ghost, and he kept feeding raw wheat into his mouth. The red water flowing from the corner of his mouth soon stained him into a blood gourd.
Not just him.
The horses that were originally tied to the stone outside Maidong.
Also like crazy.
His eyes were red, and he kept nibbling on the ears of wheat on the side of the road, which was extremely frightening.
huh huh~
I don't know when the rain stopped.
There are only gusts of cold wind blowing across the fields.
The entire Fengshou Village was silent except for the rustling sound of the wind blowing the wheat fields.
"ah!!"
some moment.
The tragic sound of panic resounded in the village, breaking the dead silence and spreading far away.
Well……
When the crazy Chen Hong heard the screams, he trembled and woke up suddenly.
looked down.
The hands were as red as blood, as if living grains of wheat were wriggling like maggots.
He immediately threw it out, his expression pale:
"What the hell?!"
Da da da--
But before he could react.
The sound of hurried footsteps sounded on the dirt road outside Maidong, accompanied by the sound of water splashing.
Chen Hong looked through the wheat hole.
Yang Long, who was covered in blood, was terrified, running like he just escaped from hell.
Plop!
Yang Long fell to the ground as soon as he ran to Maidong, looked up at Chen Hong in the cave, his eyes were full of fear: "Run...run away...ah!!"
I didn't finish a sentence.
The veins on his whole body were exposed, and his eyeballs almost popped out. It seemed that he was suffering from severe pain.
From Chen Hong's perspective.
It can be clearly seen that under Yang Long's skin, there seem to be countless insects eating, wriggling, swelling, crowding his body, trying to break out.
Tear--
There was a sound of cloth being torn and broken.
Immediately after...
"ah!!!"
Chen Hong's sharply constricted pupils reflected a terrifying monster that made his soul tremble. He uncontrollably let out a hysterical scream, which resounded through the night sky.
...
the second day.
at dusk.
Rumble——
The black sky in the distance of Luoshan County suddenly sounded like violent explosions like thunder.
Along the way, ordinary people looked up in horror.
But all he could see was a cone-shaped shock wave of white mist passing through the sky at high speed in the dark sky in the distance, and finally fell into the county town like a meteor.
Luoshan County Ba Jingmeng Hall entrance.
clatter——
A gust of wind raged, shaking thousands of tiles.
After the storm.
Wu Dao, who galloped through the air at supersonic speed, landed on the wide martial arts arena at the entrance of the hall.
A mental thought moved.
The voice of indifference and tyranny suddenly sounded in the minds of every martial artist in the hall:
"Where is Hall Master Luoshan, come and see me!"
After a while.
Shi Xiuyi, the hall master of Luoshan County, wiped his forehead with cold sweat, and led a group of middle and high-level officials to rush to the martial arts arena, and knelt down on one knee at Wu Dao:
"Lord Luoshan, Shi Xiuyi, pay homage to the lord, the lord will live forever, forever..."
