Volume 3: The Sword That Shines on the Demon Clan Chapter 76: Horror Story of Yujia Village
Yu Tiezhu's house was already surrounded by people. The village was not big to begin with, and the news had already spread throughout the village, with a lot of noisy discussions audible throughout.
Seeing Yu Sanduo coming, the villagers consciously made way for him. When Yu Sanduo walked in and took a look , he was shocked to see that Yu Tiezhu and his wife and children were all hung on the beams of the house with a white cloth, and their bodies had been stiff for a long time.
Yujia Village rarely interacts with the outside world, and the people are simple and honest. Yu Tiezhu is an honest man, and it is not known that he has provoked any enemies. How could such a good family all hang themselves for no apparent reason? Yu Sanduo was puzzled.
All he heard was people talking about how he was chatting and laughing with Yu Tiezhu's wife yesterday, but he couldn't see any clues. Yu Sanduo frowned and walked forward to take a closer look.
The body had already become stiff, with its tongue sticking out and its eyes bulging out, staring blankly at the window.
Yu Sanduo's heart moved, he opened the window and looked out, he saw the mountain god's residence vaguely in sight, he turned his head puzzledly and looked at Yu Tiezhu's family, those pairs of gray and lifeless eyes seemed to be looking in that direction.
Was it just a coincidence? Yu Sanduo was puzzled, but he called the village men to carry the four people down. According to the rules of Yujia Village, people who died suddenly could not enter the village cemetery, so they were buried outside the village.
At night, Yu Sanduo thought for a long time and could not fall asleep. When it was almost dawn, he fell asleep in a half-awake state. In his dream, he saw four people from Yu Tiezhu's family wearing murder clothes, bleeding from all seven orifices, asking for his life. Yu Sanduo was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He shouted, "Your death has nothing to do with me, why are you asking for my life?" and woke up in shock.
At this time, he heard the courtyard door being slammed again. He had a bad feeling in his heart. He put on his coat and opened the door, but saw a villager reporting to him in horror that Yu Tiezhu's neighbor Yu Duolin and his family had also hanged themselves, and had been dead for a long time when they were found.
Yu Sanduo was stunned, his heart seemed to be covered by a layer of dark clouds, and he came to Yu Duolin's house with a grim face.
Before he even entered the house, the villager who first discovered Yu Duolin's body grabbed him and began to tell his story in shock.
The villager was called Yukun, a hunter in the village. He had made an appointment with Yuduolin to go hunting in the mountains early this morning. However, when he arrived at Yuduolin's house, he heard only silence and no human voice. Yukun thought Yuduolin had overslept, so he knocked on the door and called Yuduolin's name, but no one answered for a long time. He felt strange, so he went around to the back of Yuduolin's house and opened the window. He saw Yudulin's family of four hanging side by side in front of the window. This scene scared him so much that he fell to the ground and screamed.
After listening to this, Yu Sanduo frowned and walked into the house. The miserable situation of Yu Duolin's family was exactly the same as that of Yu Tiezhu's family. He walked around the bodies of the four people, walked to the window that had been wide open, and looked at the "Mountain God's Residence" shrouded in mountain mist in the distance and began to ponder.
The successive deaths of two families made the people of Yujia Village realize that things were not that simple. For a while, people were talking about it and panicking. What was even more strange was that all the poultry, cats, dogs, animals, and insects in the village disappeared overnight as if they were escaping for their lives. It could be said that there was not even a fly in the entire Yujia Village.
Some brave hunters went into the mountains to hunt, but they could not see any monsters or animals within a ten-mile radius.
The atmosphere of fear was spreading, and all kinds of abnormalities frightened the people of Yujia Village, and they packed up their luggage and fled.
Yu Sanduo understood that if he did not do anything, Yujia Village would probably become a deserted city within a week, although an deserted city was much better than a dead city.
Inexplicably, he recalled the eyes of the dead villagers, which seemed to be looking towards the mountain god's mansion. In addition, the mansion appeared suddenly, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became. So he made up his mind and decided to explore the mountain god's mansion.
The mountain god's residence was not far from the village, but as he walked closer, it seemed to be much closer, as if the residence was coming towards their village.
Could it be that this house can walk? Yu Sanduo wondered and walked closer to the building.
Looking at the red-painted wooden door in front of him, for some reason, Yushanduo thought of the endless blood, and felt a little scared. But as the village chief, he could never do nothing at the moment of life and death of Yujia Village.
As he was old, he thought that the worst that could happen was that he would lose his life, so he made up his mind and suddenly pushed open the wooden door.
At this time, a black fog rushed out from the house, and it was chilling. In the air, Yu Sanduo could clearly see that there were nine people kneeling in two neat rows in the house, with their heads drooped, their hair disheveled, and wearing gray-black mourning uniforms. As the village chief, how could he not recognize them even if it was just a back view? These were clearly the two families who had hanged themselves two days ago!
Yu Sanduo was horrified, screamed in fear, took a few steps back, turned around and ran away. The icy feeling seemed to be sticking to his back, and his ears were filled with miserable crying, as if asking for his life.
Only at this moment did he realize that this suddenly appeared building was not the home of the mountain god at all, but clearly the lair of evil spirits. It was ridiculous that he had led the villagers to offer sacrifices. Could it be that this haunted house was going to kill everyone in the village?
He returned home and hurriedly called his son Yu Guilin, asking him to go to the nearby famous Taoist sect Qingquan Temple to ask a master to exorcise the demon. However, he was filled with yin energy and was frightened, so he fell ill.
Speaking of the Qingquan Temple, although it is only a small Taoist sect in a remote town, its strength should not be underestimated. The sect leader is a first-class sword immortal who rides a flying sword. In particular, the sect is full of righteousness and kindness, and is extremely famous in the surrounding area.
Yu Guilin rushed to Qingquan Temple overnight, kowtowed and told the situation in a panic. A Taoist priest came, Sun Qingshi, the second disciple of the headmaster of Qingquan Temple. The headmaster had gone out to travel, and it was the eldest disciple who was in charge of the headmaster's affairs. Hearing about such a tragic thing, he naturally couldn't sit idly by. He also thought that this unknown evil creature only killed a few people a day, and it was probably not a powerful existence, so he asked Sun Qingshi to go and exorcise the demon.
The two of them hurried on their way and finally climbed a mountain not far from Yujia Village at noon the next day. As long as they climbed over this mountain, they would reach the territory of Yujia Village.
The two were at the top of the mountain, and when they looked down, they saw that during the time that Yu Guilin was away, the entire Yujia Village was shrouded in a dark cloud, as if it was covered by dark clouds.
Sun Qingshi frowned and looked for a while, then pointed at the mountain god's residence and asked, "Who built this house? "
Although Yu Guilin was anxious to get on with his journey, he could not afford to offend the living immortal he had invited, so he suppressed his anxiety and looked in the direction Sun Qingshi pointed.
Although his eyesight was not as good as that of Sun Qingshi, who had achieved great success in cultivation, he had lived in the village since he was a child and could infer which household it was without having to see very clearly. However, even so, he tried his best to look for a long time before he came to the conclusion with some hesitation:
"There's no one living there. Could it be that the haunted house walked over here on its own?"
