A group of dark gray mist approached the wooden fence, and the ethereal song suddenly became sharp and ear-piercing. The mist twisted and collided with the red barrier. The red blood on the wooden stake gradually dimmed.
After the two nursery rhymes were sung, the fog had yet to break through the barrier. They struggled, twisted, and screamed for a while before returning to the original path.
"Follow me." Yang Guo held Wang Xiao's hand, and the few of them hid their figures to catch up with those ghost babies. She had just attached her energy to her eyes and saw that these fog balls were wrapped in all kinds of deformed babies. These ghost infants were of different sizes, but very few of them were normal. Yang Guo couldn't think of how a place could have so many deformed ghost babies.
They followed them to the overgrown road and saw the group of ghost babies crawling into the stone statues by the side of the road. Only a few shadows disappeared into the forest.
"These stone statues are a custom of Nippon. They are a memorial to the premature death of babies. People usually placed some toys or snacks in front of the stone statue as sacrifices. When I passed by this road when I was young, I was afraid and didn't dare to look at these stone statues carefully.”Meng Yan looked at these stone statues with one head and two bodies, or one body and two heads. There were all kinds of stone statues that one could not imagine and could not see. She did not know what she felt.
She remembered asking Grandma Xinzi why she didn't have one of her own since she liked children so much. This was what Grandma Xinzi had said back then: "I don't want to cause sin with my own hands."
At that time, Meng Yan did not know why giving birth was associated with committing a sin. But now, he understood when he looked at these stone statues. Grandma Nobuko's full name should be Fukuyama Nobuko.
"Are we going up the mountain?" Meng Yan looked at the dark mountain road and asked.
"So what's up there?" Yang Guo asked as she looked at the moss-covered and fallen leaves on the stone path.
"When I was young, I went there once with Flower Lady and the children in the village. He didn't have a deep impression of her. He only remembered that there was a shrine like house at the top of the mountain, and there was a huge stone pillar in front of the house.”Meng Yan tried to recall carefully, but because she was too scared when she was young, she ran away after taking a few glances.
"Let's go up." Yang Guo turned her right hand, and a purple whip with golden light appeared in her hand. This was Yang Guo's amethyst weapon, Nut.
A gust of wind blew through the forest. A flock of crows flew through the air and stood on the branches on both sides of the stone steps, pecking at their feathers. The red eyes quietly watched the intruders.
“琤。”A few strands of black hair fell from the stone steps in front of him. The crows on both sides cawed and flew away. A long-haired woman was hovering above their heads.
Jian Binfen waved her index finger, and the blue-purple cold moon slashed at the woman in the air with a hurricane. The woman's body twisted in an extremely twisted manner as she dodged. Her index finger flew around, and her black hair shot towards their eyes from all directions.
Wang Xiao drew a talisman with his hand to protect the few of them in the middle. The black hair did not disappear when it landed on the ground. Instead, it turned into a black bug and approached the few of them.
"F * ck! I hate bugs the most." The trip to Xiangxi back then could be said to have left a deep impression on Wang Xiao.
Yang Guo frowned. A drop of golden blood followed the whip and turned into a golden flame, which was thrown around. The black bugs were instantly turned into ashes when they came into contact with the golden flames.
The woman's fingers in the air turned into claws and grabbed towards Yang Guo. Her eyes were sunken, and there was no life in them. She was actually a corpse controlled by someone.
Yang Guo's hand gesture changed, the whip turned into a bracelet and slipped into her hand. When the female corpse approached, he put his right index finger and middle finger together and hit a Soul Suppressing Talisman on the female corpse's head. Unexpectedly, this female corpse only stared blankly for a moment before continuing to grab towards Yang Guo.
"Be careful." Jian Binfeng pulled Yang Guo to her side." There's something wrong with this corpse. There's no soul fluctuation in her body."”Normally, we call moving corpses corpse transformation, and the more powerful ones are zombies. These corpses would more or less have some soul remnants that supported their activities. However, the corpse in front of him was completely dead. There was not a single soul left.
Jian Fusheng drew a circle with his right hand. The cold moon swayed in the air, forming a hurricane that slashed down at the female corpse at an extremely fast speed. The cold moon cut through the air with a clanging sound. The hair on the female corpse broke, and the female corpse fell to the ground weakly.
"So weak?" Wang Xiao looked at the female corpse on the ground in disbelief.
Yang Guo was also puzzled. She tilted her head and carefully looked at the corpse. Suddenly, the female corpse's eyelids twitched, and a red blood mist exploded around her body. The black-red blood insects rushed towards Yang Guo and the others at an extremely fast speed.
The blood worms burrowed into her skin, and she felt sore and swollen as if she had been spanked. Meng Yan snorted lightly and knelt on the ground. Her calves were swelling up at an extremely fast speed. Under the skin, one could even see the worms surging continuously.
"Nuts." Yang Guo turned her right hand, and the nut turned into golden silk and wrapped around Meng Yan's calf, stopping the blood worm from advancing. The blood insects moved left and right under the skin of Meng Yan's calf. The skin there bulged like a balloon, turning purple.
The cold moon danced like a wind shield, enveloping the few of them. Wang Xiao and Yang Guo's charms hit the blood worm, and black and red ashes appeared. However, those bloodworms seemed to be reproducing endlessly. After killing a group, there would be another group. The corpse of the female corpse had already dried up, leaving only a skin bag and bones on the ground.
Yang Guo glanced at Meng Yanqing's purple calf." This won't do. Without a host, these bloodworms will definitely gather in Meng Yan's body and reproduce. At that time, even nuts won't be able to save her."”
"Then what should we do?" Wang Xiao continuously squeezed out the energy in his body, and he released talismans and free spells.
Meng Yan looked at Yang Guo's teary eyes, but she clenched her teeth and didn't want to disturb them.
Yang Guo turned her head and closed her eyes to think. If her eyes could see through Yin objects, could she also see through the energy of other objects? All living beings were made up of flesh and soul. Since there was a soul, could the source of the soul be seen?
The soul essence in Yang Guo's dantian turned into threads and slowly climbed up her spiritual altar. Yang Guo closed her eyes, but there seemed to be an eye there. Through the female corpse's skin and hair, she finally saw two black-red soul sources in the female corpse's two eye sockets.
"Lengyue, break." Yang Guo's left hand held Jian Binfen and pointed with her right hand. The wind blades turned into a light blue beam of light and slashed at the eyes of the female corpse on the ground.
After two faint sounds, the bloodworms in the air instantly turned into blood and fell to the ground, forming a stinky blood clot. Even Meng Yan's calf had quieted down. The blood worms that were still violently surging just now only moved a few times occasionally.
"What is this?" Wang Xiao used a tree branch to pull out the two black-red bug carcasses in the eyes of the female corpse that had been cut open by the cold moon.
"This is a Hair-Eating Insect from Japan." Yang Guo turned over the two reddish-black bug carcasses, revealing the dense hair on their abdomen. "These hair-eating insects are transformed from pubic lice on the scalp of a dead person. They feed on the hair of the dead, but they are rare and difficult to form. Usually, they could not see the light and could only live in people's eyes. These two Hair Eating Insects were black with a tinge of red, and there was a trace of the soul origin of the person who refined them in their bodies. The mastermind must have controlled the corpse by controlling the Corpse Hair Worms.”
Meng Yan dragged her aching calf and squatted down to examine the female corpse.
"Looking at the dress of this female corpse, she should be the bride who is about to get married. Could it be related to the missing bride we are looking for? Meng Yan flipped over the female corpse's clothes, revealing a yellow sunflower. "And this bride should be from Grandpa Fukuyama's village. I remember Grandma Xinzi saying that every bride in every place would embroider the characteristic flowers of their hometown on the back of their clothes when they got married, representing their longing for their hometown. Sunflowers were the specialty of Fu Shan Village.”
Yang Guo and Jian Binfen looked at each other." Then take a look at this. Do you recognize it?"”Yang Guo revealed the back of the female corpse's neck. There was a red mole there.
"Flower Lady?" Meng Yan stared at the disfigured female corpse in disbelief. Meng Yan left this place when she was 17 years old, and her image of a beggar only remained when she was young. That was why he didn't remember anything when he first saw the female corpse.
"Meng Yan, do you know how Suzuki became blind?" Yang Guo frowned and suddenly asked.”Thinking of Suzuki's two sunken eyes, Yang Guo didn't know why she felt goosebumps on her back.
"I listened to Grandma Zi and Grandpa Fukuyama's private conversation. It seems that half a month ago, when I went up the mountain to look for Flower Lady, I went blind when I came back.”The more Meng Yan thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. How did a lunatic survive when she was so blind and no one treated her? It was very likely that Aunty Suzuki's eyes were also parasitized by hair-eating insects, but they had not acted up yet. Then, he thought of the stone statue in Aunty Suzuki's arms. Meng Yan originally thought that it was a rag doll, but now she remembered that the exposed skin was completely made of stone.
"Not good, the people in the village are in danger!”Meng Yan was startled.
At this moment, the sound of nursery rhymes rang out from the road below. The ethereal voice of a child echoed with the hoarse voice of a woman. The ghost babies turned into mist, twisting and twisting as they headed towards the village.
In Fu Shan Village, Suzuki held the stone statue in her arms and sang a nursery rhyme as she staggered toward the village entrance. She was surrounded by invisible black hair. Under her sunken eyelids, two black-red hair-eating bugs were wriggling and extending the hair in her body to the surroundings. The wooden fence on the road was slowly pushed open, revealing a black gap in the red barrier. The ethereal nursery rhyme became clearer and clearer, and the thick fog became more and more cheerful.
"Fengji, carry Meng Yan back to the village. Pin 'er and I will go to the shrine on the mountain. I suspect that the person behind the control of the Hair Eating Insects is there. If we miss this, who knows how many people will die.”Yang Guo frowned, her eyes filled with determination as she looked at Jian Binfen.
"Be careful!" Jian Binfen nodded. Carrying Meng Yan on his back, he formed a hand seal with one hand and injected energy into his legs, then quickly ran in the direction of the village.
Yang Guo looked at Jian Binfen's figure as she ran away. She turned around and held Wang Xiao's hand as they continued on the dark mountain road.
On the road not far from the shrine, a Hummer was speeding towards Yang Guo. In the car, 12 kept adjusting the laptop in his hand. Inside, the logo of Yang Guo and Wang Xiao was constantly flashing red.
By the time Jian Binfen carried Meng Yan to the village entrance, the wooden fence on the road had already been destroyed. The village was filled with flames and screams. The ghost baby chased after the villagers and played with them. Suzuki held the doll and floated quietly in the air. She was surrounded by black hair that looked like a spider web. Under the thick hair were the villagers whose hands and feet were bound and who kept struggling.
"Grandpa Fukuyama, Grandma Nobuko." Meng Yan's eyes widened as she looked at the old man trapped in the hair in horror.
"Suzuki, please stop!" Xin Zi cried as she looked at Suzuki, who was in the air." It was our fault for what happened to Flower Lady, but we were forced to do so. The general's ghost is trapping us. The people in our village can't marry outsiders at all.”
Suzuki's empty eyes looked at Xin Zi, and her voice was hoarse.""Is that why I have to sacrifice my Flower Lady? Are you going to sacrifice the child in my Flower Girl's stomach?”
"Sin, sin!" Nobuko cried miserably. She looked at Fukuyama Sawada, who had long lost his breath, and gritted her teeth as she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Suzuki gently caressed the stone statue in his arms and said hoarsely,""Since this is a sin, let me end it all today. Go and atone for my Flower Girl.”
Hearing Suzuki's words, the villagers cried and cursed. Suzuki curled his lips and put his right hand into the mouth of the statue. The black-gray ghost infant screamed, and the ghost energy on its body gradually increased.
"You hide here." Jian Binfen placed Meng Yan in a safe corner. The cold moon in his hand took advantage of the time when Suzuki was performing the Soul Sacrifice Ceremony and quickly slashed at the stone statue in her arms.
"Ahhh!" The ghost infant in his arms screamed, and Suzuki immediately wrapped her hair around herself.
When the cold moon slashed at the hair, it was immediately wrapped up. After weakening, it was continuously wrapped up by new hair. Those ghost babies screamed, opening their mouths that were bigger than their heads and biting at Jian Binfeng ferociously. Jian Fusheng formed a seal with his hands. A white door suddenly opened behind him, and a five-tailed ghost cat that was taller than a human slowly stepped out of the door. His red pupils looked coldly in the direction of Jian Fusheng.
Jian Binfen pursed her lips and forced out a trace of pure soul origin from her dantian. The blue Soul Origin flew towards the ghost cat's forehead with pure power.
The ghost cat laughed like a human and turned into countless clones to bite the evil ghost baby. The ghost baby struggled and was eaten by the ghost cat.
Jian Fusheng's face was pale. He swallowed the blood in his mouth and activated the soul source in his body again. The blue soul source surged, and the cold moon that was wrapped in the hair flickered. Suddenly, it turned into a blue light spot and exploded. Then, it returned to its original shape in the air.
Suzuki was caught off guard and exploded. The stone statue in her arms screamed and bit off Suzuki's finger. It turned into a half-ghost monster and bit at Jian Binfen.
Red light flashed in the eyes of the ghost cat, and several clones blocked in front of Jian Binfen, facing the ghost statue baby that was interrupted in the middle of its sacrifice. The ghost baby was extremely strong and its body was extremely stiff. The ghost cat could not bite it for a moment. Fortunately, the ghost infant's IQ was not high, so he was surrounded by a few ghost cats and played with.
Yang Guo and Wang Xiao didn't stop them as they walked to the place Meng Yan had described. In an open space made up of stone slabs, a huge stone pillar that could be hugged by two people shattered into several pieces and fell to the ground. From the neat cut, it could be seen that it had been cut by a sharp and slender weapon in an instant.
Behind the stone pillar was a dilapidated shrine that had been in disrepair for many years. The wooden doors and windows were dilapidated, revealing a dark and mysterious passage inside. It was as if it was inviting the king into a jar.
"Pin 'er, you stay outside. I'll go in and take a look." Yang Guo touched her flustered heart. She could feel the divine stone inside, but it seemed to be blocked by something.
"No, I'll go in with you." Pin 'er ignored Yang Guo and took the lead to enter the tunnel. If their lives were linked together, it would be better for both of them to die than for one to die.
Yang Guo saw the child go in and couldn't help but follow. However, they did not realize that the moment they entered, a huge purple array formation suddenly rose from the stone slab outside the door. In the center of the array formation was a huge sunflower symbol.
The light of the array formation was like an aurora that illuminated half of the sky. Twelve and the rest of the group who had arrived at the foot of the mountain looked at the huge sunflower symbol and sighed. They were still a step too late.
