C27 The village of the dead(4)

I nodded and pointed to the Liu Clan's old ancestral hall on the other side of the village. "That's right, I found the reason for the disaster in the village. It was the stone bag with the ancestral shrine!"

Yes, it was indeed a very large stone bundle. That stone protruded over the entire mountain, and that old ancestral temple was precisely built on that stone block.

After hearing what I said, everyone was stunned, as if they were all confused. Even the old man had a face full of doubt, "Mister, that stone mountain is very common, how did it cause the village to suffer so much?"

I said, "That rock mountain is indeed very common, but look at that rock mountain which is split into two layers like a tiger with its mouth wide open. As the saying goes, a tiger opening its mouth will result in the appearance of a bloody light! This is too fierce! "

After hearing what I said, they started to get scared and started to talk about it. In the end, everyone started to ask me what was the result of the tiger's mouth opening the stone mountain on the other side of the mountain and how to break it.

I took a closer look at the tiger-shaped rock hill opposite, about a thousand meters from the village, between the village and the rock mountain was a provincial road and a flat field. As I watched, my frown deepened, for I saw that not only was the village facing the lurking tiger, but there was also a fork in the road that led to the provincial road, which was in the direction of the tiger's mouth.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but be shocked, so I pointed at the Liu Jia Village at the foot of the mountain and said to the villagers behind me: "The stone mountain is like a fierce tiger lying on the ground, opening its mouth, not only towards your village, but also towards the fork in the road leading to the provincial road, don't blame me for scaring you all, this way the house in your village will become a haunted house, unable to house anyone. Furthermore, the fork in the road opposite the old tiger's mouth is also a dangerous road, it will often have car accidents, so you should be careful when passing by."

Hearing me say this, the big guy was quite scared, everyone was shocked, seeing their shocked look, so I said: "What, is it wrong?" The big guy said: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The tiger is a fiend, it opened its mouth in the southeast, and the fork in the road was also called a fiend in the wind and water. The tiger opened its mouth and rushed into the mouth of the tiger in the northwest, the two fiends opened their mouths and faced each other. "I am sure that there will be a lot of accidents at the junction!"

At this moment, everyone nodded their heads to show that they were right. There were indeed frequent car accidents at the junction. Several people in the village died when they were out of the village.

Speaking till this point, Liu Qiang had already told me that the junction was indeed strange. Not only did people from the Liu Jia Village cause trouble when they were leaving, even if the village at the junction didn't have a car to leave, those cars that directly went there would still have unexplainable troubles if they got there safely. For example, cars that used to go straight past the junction would suddenly turn the steering wheel as if they were trying to avoid a car that was coming out of a fork in the road, resulting in a collision with a car in the opposite lane. Strangely enough, there was no traffic at the junction.

Some of the surviving drivers had said that they had told the story before, but when they passed it, they saw a car rushing out of a fork in the road, causing the driver to veer off in the opposite direction and collide with the reverse lane. But no one believed them at the time, because witnesses said there were no pedestrians or vehicles on the side of the road. In short, there had been many disasters at the junction, and at least ten people had died.

After hearing what Liu Qiang had said, I became even more convinced that what I said was not wrong. Very clearly, the cause of the disaster in the village came from the stone mountain opposite us that resembled a tiger's mouth!

At this moment, all of the villagers had completely dispelled the doubts they had of me. All of them were like frightened birds that were frightened arrows. At this time, the old man from the village could no longer hold it in. He said to me, "Sir, it is indeed true that there have been a lot of accidents at the junction. However, what do you mean by saying that the village residence is a place of murder?"

"That's right, that's right. Since our house is a haunted house, can we still stay here?" Immediately, all the villagers asked one after another.

I said, "Of course I can't live in a place like this."

"Huh?" This time, the villagers all started to panic. Although they were panicked, there was still some doubt in their eyes. After all, their ancestors had lived here for generations. Naturally, they would not believe that the mansion they lived in was truly dangerous.

Seeing that they didn't quite believe me, I said, "I'm not talking about haunted houses, I'm talking about many of them. As you have said before, the men of your village often suffer from disasters. Some died in car accidents, some from drowning, some from illness, some from suicide, and some even from the day. At night, they die.

After everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent. It was clear that they had no choice but to accept this reality. However, there were still some who were doubtful. Someone then asked, "Mister, since it's a haunted house, I don't understand why it's always men in the village and few women. Don't tell me there's a difference between the sexes?"

I looked at everyone and saw that they were all looking at me curiously. It was obvious that they all had this question. Thus, I explained to them, "That is not difficult to understand. The fiendish fiend of the village is the tiger in front. This tiger is also called the White Tiger, so it cannot injure men nor women."

After saying those words, I no longer explained myself. I have already said what I should say. If they still suspect me, I can only blame them for it. Therefore, I immediately said, "Although the saying goes, 'tiger opens its mouth and a blood-red light appears,' it is a 'great fiend'. The reason why your village often gets into trouble is because of this fiendish demon. Although it is extremely savage, it is not difficult to break through it. All you need to do is to plant explosives and blow up that mountain. "

When everyone heard this, they all revealed bitter expressions, especially that old man. He violently shook his head and said, "No, don't. Do you have any other methods to break it?"

Seeing how everyone was having a hard time, I couldn't help but be confused. I just blew up the head of the tiger on the other side, not just for them to blow up the entire mountain. So I shook my head and said, "There is no other way but this one. However, the method that I mentioned is very simple. Is there something wrong with everyone here? "

The old man sighed and said, "Although the method is simple, Mister already knows that our Liu Clan's old temple is built on top of that Tiger Stone Mountain. If that Tiger Stone is blown up, then wouldn't our Liu Clan's old temple be blown up as well?"

Hearing this, I suddenly understood. So that's the reason why they had such a difficult expression. However, I still tried my best to persuade him, "Didn't your Liu family build a new ancestral hall in the village? If this old ancestral hall explodes, then so be it. After all, it can't even compare to the lives of everyone in the village."

What I said was also the truth. Not to mention it was only an old ancestral hall, even the new ancestral hall had to explode in order to save the lives of the villagers.

The old man was silent for a moment. Then he told me to let them think it over before making a decision, because he alone could not make a decision.

I also know about this. After all, this is a village matter, not to mention that the ancestral hall opposite them is the Liu Clan's ancestral hall, so it is impossible for either of them to immediately make a decision. However, in order to prevent them from delaying, I told them, "You must make a decision as soon as possible, because according to my calculations, this year, a great disaster might happen at the junction of the third road. The number of casualties is unknown, so we all must not let the lives of the clansmen be in danger for the sake of some external objects."

When the villagers heard this, they all looked at me in shock, but they did not say anything. Only Liu Qiang asked me just when exactly was this year's great calamity going to happen.

I shook my head with a wry smile. "How can I predict that day? I can only assume that it will be this year, or tomorrow, or the day after, or even several months from now. You should make the decision as soon as possible!" What I didn't expect was that what he said would actually come true, which made me regret my decision even more. Of course, what he said would come later and come later.
