C32 Miao ancestral hall

After leaving the village, there was no other road for us to go, so we had to walk instead. Fortunately, we brought along flashlight, so we didn't have to walk in the dark. After that, we walked for a long time without seeing any more villages. The deeper we went into the Ox-shaped Mountain, the narrower the road became, and the more remote the road became. When we reached the end, we directly walked into the dense forest.

The dense forest was filled with hundreds of years of huge pine trees. The tall branches and luxuriant leaves of the towering pine trees completely blocked out the bright moonlight, giving rise to a huge shadow on the ground. Fortunately, the path he was walking on was paved with bluestone. As long as he followed the bluestone path, he would not get lost in the mountains.

We walked like this for about half an hour, climbing over several mountains before finally walking out of the forest. In front of us was a green stone tablet about half a meter tall, covered with moss.

I picked up the flashlight and looked at the stone tablet carefully. On the stone tablet, the words "Miao Village" were carved in large characters. Seeing this, I couldn't help but frown. I thought to myself, Miao Village, we have finally arrived!

At this time, Yang Quan who was at the side suddenly pointed in front and said in shock: "Sir, look quickly, there's a light over there!"

His words were very sudden, and just as I was thinking about how the entire village of Miao Village is in ruins, he suddenly shouted out a few words, which startled me! I hastily looked towards where Yang Quan was pointing, only to see that five to six hundred meters in front of us, there were indeed lights shining, with a single glance, I knew that it was a small village.

Logically speaking, it would have been a good thing to have come across such a brightly lit village in the middle of the night, but when I saw those lights in the distance, I was taken aback, because my uncle had told us that the village had been deserted even before liberation, and that the whole village was dead. And what about the light in front of him? Could it be that he met a ghost like the hunter?

Thinking about it, I immediately said to Yang Quan: Didn't all of the people in this village die, why would there be people living here?

Yes, I am sure that the Miao Village is right in front of us, because there is a stone tablet at the side of the road in front of us.

Hearing me say that, Yang Quan's face immediately changed, going from green to white, after a long while he asked me, "Could it be that the evil master that invited us here lives here, and the lights are coming from him?"

His words seemed to make quite a bit of sense. I thought for a moment and couldn't help but nod my head, "Maybe so, but this place is very strange. No matter if that lamp is from the evil master who invited us here or if it's a ghost, we still have to be careful."

Yang Quan nodded, and then we continued to walk forward, towards the place where there was light …

Although they had passed through the dense forest, the road ahead was much easier to traverse. In front of them was a wasteland filled with weeds. Birds and insects were chirping all over the wasteland, and wherever we went, the place was dead silent. And when we left, the place behind us sounded again. This wasn't a very good feeling. At least, the feeling of instantly calming down didn't feel good.

As he walked forward in this manner, he became increasingly closer to the brightly lit area in front. Yang Quan, who was by his side, suddenly shouted out in fear, which was extremely loud, causing the bugs around him to immediately stop. At the same time, it gave me a huge shock!

I whirled around and saw that his face was full of horror, as if he had seen something terrible. I asked him what was wrong. Why are you so shocked?

He used the flashlight to point in front of him and said with a trembling voice: "Coffin! There's a coffin in front of us! "

"What?" A coffin! " Upon hearing these words, even though I was mentally prepared, I was still startled by his words. He could not help but turn around and use the flashlight to shine on the wasteland that was filled with weeds. Then, he saw a black coffin that suddenly appeared on the wasteland in front of him!

Seeing this, I couldn't help but frown, thinking to myself, why would such a thing be thrown here?

At this time, Yang Quan continued to tremble and say: "Not only that, there are a lot of coffins up ahead!"

Hearing this, I hurriedly used the flashlight to look around, and immediately, I felt my scalp go numb. In front of me was a large expanse of a pitch black large coffin, and these coffins filled the entire wasteland in front of us. Under the illumination of the moonlight, these coffins seemed even more terrifying.

I gave it a rough look. There were at least a hundred coffins here, and they were all placed in this wasteland. No, it was better to just throw them out. The hundreds of coffins were thrown into the wasteland without any order or order. It was a messy scene to behold.

Seeing so many coffins appear all of a sudden, I broke out in a cold sweat, which was no wonder why Yang Quan was so scared that even his voice was trembling.

I frowned and said, "Let's go to the coffin and have a look!"

Yang Quan's body obviously trembled. A big boss like him might not have seen many coffins in his life, furthermore, seeing so many coffins in this kind of environment, how could he not be afraid? Therefore, he immediately pulled at the corner of my clothes and said, "Why don't we go back and quickly find that bad guy along the way. We don't need to care about these things."

I immediately shook my head and said no, there were so many coffins here, if I didn't check them out, I wouldn't be able to feel at ease. If these coffins had a way, I might have died even faster.

Then I told him to stand here and wait for me if you're afraid, and I'll be right back. The result was obvious. He didn't dare to wait here alone. He looked around and saw coffins everywhere. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "Let's go with me!"

Just like this, the two of us slowly approached the large coffin in front of us …

Soon, we arrived at the coffin. It looked very old, as if it had been there for a long time. Why do you say that? Because the large coffin in front of him had almost completely rotted away, the paint on it seemed to be mottled and incomplete. The originally pitch black paint only contained a small portion of it.

After taking a look at the large coffin, I went to the other side of the coffin. On this side was written the word "Lifespan", which matched the word "Fortune" on the coffin's head. I told Yang Quan to stand at the other end of the coffin, preparing to open the lid of the coffin together with me.

But who would have thought that there was no coffin nail on the coffin lid, and in the end, the coffin lid was easily opened. When the lid of the coffin was opened, I used flashlight's words to reflect on it. Inside lay a corpse, all that was left over were clothes and a pile of bones.

After seeing this, I felt a lot more relaxed. At least everything inside the coffin was still normal. In fact, what I am most afraid of is that the corpses in these coffins will become shady corpses, because these coffins are casually thrown here in the open air, and with the constant exposure to the sun and wind, there is a great possibility that the coffins will be rotted. This way, the coffin will be directly exposed to the moonlight, and if the corpses in the coffins do not rot for a long time and are absorbed by the moonlight, it is very likely that they will become zombies.

Then we looked at the other coffins. Some of them had no lids, but the bodies had long since turned to white bones.

Just then, Yang Quan asked me if the people in the coffins could be the villagers of Miao Village.

I nodded, agreeing with him. Then I clapped my hands and said, "Alright, let's quickly enter the village!"

However, when I raised my head to look forward, I couldn't help but be shocked. This is because the place where the lights were previously lit had now become dark!

Although there was something fishy about this matter, I didn't think too much about it and continued to walk towards that direction. Slowly, after we had walked for some distance, we came to the place where the lamps had been lit. We took a look and saw a magnificent, but very shabby ancestral hall!

Above the main entrance of the ancestral hall was a mottled plaque with four large words written on it: Miao Family Ancestral Temple!
