Chapter 3
Jing Cen didn't expect that there would be such an operation.
This incense is not given to the statue in the main hall, but to his back?
What's behind him?
Wait, behind the spirit?
He reacted suddenly.
His face was a little weird.
So the spirit behind this wants to use the things sacrificed to the god statue to sacrifice him?
This was the first time he encountered this kind of embezzlement, Jing Cen twitched the corners of his mouth.
"you sure?"
In front of that weird god statue behind the red cloth, will it really be safe to do so?
This village is inherently weird and weird, even Jing Cen, who has always been domineering and bold, hesitated.
Ji Hui, on the other hand, was very calm and composed, and responded with a sinister smile.
"You don't have to."
"But I don't know what will happen."
It's more reassuring for him to talk like this than to seduce and coax.
As a normal person, it is normal for Jing Cen to be wary of the sudden appearance of the ghost behind him.
A fool knows that there is no such thing as a white pie in the sky, and the ghost behind him will not remind him that there is something weird here for no reason.
He must have found him because he was useful to him.
So... does he need the incense in this basket?
Now I have to choose between satisfying the idol and satisfying the spirit behind it.
Thinking of the white worms sent by the villagers and the empty trouser legs he saw just now, Jing Cen took a deep breath and bent down to open the basket.
Ji Hui watched the protagonist Shou's actions with satisfaction, and he said that the protagonist Shou in the book is not an idiot.
Although he only had an outline of the book in his mind, he couldn't remember the specific plot in the book.But Jing Cen can stalk people like Jiang Yuhan, so he still has some courage.
He raised the corners of his lips and waited quietly.
Looking at Jing Cen's actions, he knew that the other party had already believed 60.00% of the statement that he was the spirit behind it.
Ji Hui looked soft, imagining the smell of nourishing soul incense.
Although he had seen the soul-nourishing incense in the abyss dungeon before, but because he was a human at that time, he couldn't smell the soul-nourishing incense.I don't know why those ghosts have such happy expressions after smelling the soul-nourishing incense.
But now you can try it.
As Jing Cen took out the incense altar from the basket and set it up, the sky suddenly became gloomy again.
The door of the main hall was slammed by the strong wind, Jing Cen gave a mental shock, and bravely took out a match.
Finally confirmed again: "Now?"
"Of course." Ji Hui couldn't wait.
With the coldness seeping into his back, Jing Cen gritted his teeth and lit the stick of incense.
The brown long incense, which was no different from ordinary incense, was not blown out on such a stormy night.
The strong wind tore up Jing Cen's shirt, but he saw that weird incense stick given by the villagers was still burning straight and drifting towards the direction behind him.
This scene is incomparable in the underworld at night.
Rao Jing Cen was a bit stiff if he had the guts.
Ji Hui stood behind him, his soft crow hair blown away by the wind, and took a breath of the soul nourishing incense.
At the entrance, I can only feel a strong aroma lingering in my mouth and nose.
Not like food, but like some very pleasant floral scent.
The aroma drilled into his mouth and nose along the airflow, blurring his drooping eyebrows and eyes.
Not bad.
Very comfortable.
Ji Hui was a little pleased to find that the color of his wedding dress was slightly darker after inhaling the soul-nourishing incense.Others may not be able to see this dark color, but Ji Hui, who is wearing a wedding dress, can clearly perceive it.
——His soul became more solidified.
It's a pity that a soul nourishing incense is still too short.
This thing is extremely precious, and the whole village probably doesn't have much of it.
It was a pity for Ji Hui to eat.
At this time, the god statue who had eaten his tribute in front of people seemed to be aware of it.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and blood slowly seeped from the red cloth inside the main hall, staining the shrine red.
Red blood dripped on the ground and flowed out from the cracks in the bricks under the hall. Ji Hui looked back and narrowed his eyes slightly, not afraid.
After absorbing the soul-nourishing incense, his abilities recovered a lot.
The line of blood drops stopped in front of him.
Lightning illuminated the shrine, and at the last moment, the last trace of soul-nourishing incense in the rainstorm was all accepted by Ji Hui with a smile.
Jing Cen was horrified watching the incense burning behind him disappear, especially when the lightning flashed at the end.
There was not a trace of incense ash left, and only then did he realize that the one behind him seemed no more harmless than the one in the ancient village.
Ji Hui didn't watch the protagonist suffer.
Instead, he looked at the statue covered in red cloth across the corridor, and after a while, he chuckled lightly and mouthed "Thank you for the hospitality".
The blood flow from the fettered statue became even more fierce.
This season, I didn't watch it again.
Sure enough, as he thought, this idol has restrictions and cannot be killed at will.
Otherwise, it is impossible for the other party not to do anything until now.
Swallowing the tribute in front of the opponent just now is the best temptation.
Maybe it's not time yet, and the ability of that weird idol has been restricted.
Of course, just because the statue can't do it doesn't mean the villagers can't.
The legless villager was between a human and a ghost, Ji Hui couldn't tell.But I know...the other party feels that the soul-nourishing incense has not flowed to the shrine, and I am afraid they will find them soon.
He put away the expression on his face, and when Jing Cen frowned, he appeared on the phone with Yin Qi: "Let's go."
"where to?"
There was some vigilance on Jing Cen's beautiful face.
When he went out at that time, the fear of dying was still there, and he didn't dare to go out for a while.
Ji Hui only typed lightly: "Stay here, the villagers will find you."
Jing Cen still changed his mind, but "What about my assistant?"
Ji Hui looked at him: "If we leave, those villagers will target us."
"The crew will be fine."
Of course, if they don't leave and everyone comes to the house, then it's not necessarily true.
Although Jing Cen was a little puzzled as to why the villagers came to them, he didn't ask.
He vaguely felt that it might have something to do with the incense just now.
Right now, he and his back are like grasshoppers tied to the same boat, and at this time, they can only do what he says.
"it is good."
As soon as he opened the door, he suddenly felt cold on his shoulders, as if something stopped him.
The coldness seeped into the shoulders, Jing Cen shivered and turned his head.
Is it the spirit behind it?
He was a little puzzled, because thinking of a ghost behind him who didn't know the purpose, his body tensed up for a moment.
Ji Hui raised his eyebrows: "Go get an umbrella."
They were not in a hurry to leave at this moment, it was raining so heavily outside, and they didn't do anything to protect themselves. They didn't need to be found by the villagers, and they could faint in the rain.
He leans against the door.
Jing Cen was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect the other party to say this.
His mood was complicated for a moment, and the sense of fear aroused because of Xiang's incident also faded strangely.
Then it occurred to him that the spirit behind him seemed to be able to read people's hearts with ease, maybe this was intentionally shown by the other party to lower his vigilance.
Jing Cen was in a bad mood again.
Ji Hui waited outside.
Seeing the protagonist go into the room and take a black umbrella, he stood up and looked outside.
He had a hunch—there might be a big surprise waiting for them in the whole village.
"Go east."
After Jing Cen closed the door carefully, the phone screen lit up.
Ji Hui glanced in the direction, he had seen the village outside the village when he came in, and he could recognize it now.If he remembered correctly, apart from the guest houses used to entertain foreign tourists, the houses on the east side of the village were generally better.
He stood in the rain, and the rainwater slid down the sky without staining his body in the slightest.
This is the difference between ghosts and humans.
Jing Cen couldn't see his surroundings clearly, and paused after holding the umbrella, his voice was uncomfortable: "Do you want to hold the umbrella?"
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the puddles on the ground were almost like a small river.
After he asked out loud, he felt that he was talking nonsense, what does a ghost need an umbrella for.
It's fine if ghosts don't eat people, but they still hold umbrellas like people?
Sure enough, the phone turned on and two words appeared.
"Need not."
Passing through the dark alley, they happened to avoid the villagers who were going out.
After watching the villagers leave, Jing Cen asked with a sigh of relief.
"where are we going?"
Ji Hui looked back, and turned his eyes away from the villagers who were looking for them.
"The village chief's house."
To capture the thief first, capture the king. No matter from which point of view, they should go to the village chief first.Even if he couldn't order those villagers, he should at least know what happened here.
Ji Hui's goal was very clear from the very beginning, and at this time he was still in the mood to comfort the protagonist Shou.
"Don't be afraid, I'm behind you."
Jing Cen was not comforted in the slightest, but rather depressed: ...
Even more frightened.
However, before he could think too much, the two had already found a place in the village.
Outside the best houses on the east side of the village, one of the houses has a "Village Chief" sign on the door, obviously for the convenience of the villagers to come to find them.
Looking at the dark window, Ji Hui raised his eyebrows.
The state of the villagers in this village is very strange, and even he can't tell whether there are people in it.
But... you will know how to get in.
Seeing that no one spoke, Jing Cen gritted his teeth and knew the result, took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
The moment the door opened, there was a piercing cry, Jing Cen paled and raised his head, only to find a night cat meowing, leaping out from the dark house, and leaving through the crack of the door.
Jing Cen's face turned pale from shock, but Ji Hui chuckled lightly.
"Just a cat."
The phone was almost out of battery, it turned on and off frequently, and the screen became much darker.
Ji Hui didn't look at Jing Cen any more, but went into the house.
The house was quiet, except for the wild cat that jumped out just now, there was no movement.It would be too weird if there was a living person living here.
He glanced at the table and typed to signal Jing Cen to light a candlestick.
Jing Cen heaved a sigh of relief, he thought he would act in the dark inside, the dark environment is easier to magnify the fear in people's hearts, now it's good to have light.
He pursed his lips and took out a match to light the candle with the light of his mobile phone, holding it in his hand and looking at it.
The house is not big, a common three-bedroom layout.Although it has been renovated, the whole layout still looks like an old house many years ago.
Ji Hui stopped in front of the hall.
The strange thing is that there is no statue of a god covered with a red cloth in the main hall of the village chief's house.
There was half a glass of water in the teacup on the table, it was unknown when it was poured, Ji Hui walked into the bedroom after watching the hall.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound from the door and window, and the sound of moderate footsteps outside, indicating that someone had come back.
Jing Cen was startled, and quickly blew out the lamp.
At this time, a trace of coldness fell on his shoulders and was brought into the bedroom.
The mobile phone was completely out of power, and the candlestick was extinguished.
The footsteps outside were still approaching, and his ears went numb, as if he heard a faint voice sounding from the bottom of his heart.
"do not move."
"someone is coming."
Ji Hui didn't bother to use Yin Qi to display it when he saw that the phone was out of battery, and in such an environment, the phone's light up was very eye-catching, so he simply used ghost air to talk to Jing Cen.
It was the first time for Jing Cen to hear the voice behind the spirit. The other party's voice was slightly low, not scary.In such a frightening and tense environment, does it sound a bit nice?
He thought for a while in a trance, and realized that the spirit behind him was very close to him, and his body froze.
At this time, footsteps outside the door had already entered the house, and Ji Hui heard the sound of keys hanging on the other party's body, and realized that it was the village chief.
He is back?
The village chief, who was wearing a raincoat, had an ugly face. He didn't expect that someone didn't burn incense on the shrine on time.
And... it's the one that actually puts things.
The star who lived in the best yard didn't know what happened to the incense. After they came back and saw the shrine bleeding, they realized that the incense had not been absorbed by the statue at all.
The gods were furious, and they were having a hard time.
After the red cloth was soaked with blood, they went out in the rain with dark faces to settle accounts with the star who took away the soul-nourishing incense.
However, they reacted quickly, and that star actually had some skills.
It was hidden long ago.
They searched around the house but couldn't find it. Seeing that it was getting late, Ah Da and the others looked for it in other places in the village.
The village chief himself was too old to walk in the rain for a long time, so he came back first.
The torrential rain outside has never stopped, and he is not at all worried about the star running out.
After all, such a mountain is more dangerous than a village.
He changed his shoes and parked his umbrella by the door.
At this time, in the pitch darkness, his cloudy eyes looked towards the ground, but his eyes froze.
There are water spots on the ground...
"It was discovered."
Ji Hui raised his eyebrows, he didn't intend to hide from the village chief who came back suddenly.
This is also to be expected.
On the contrary, the protagonist froze again.
"Then what should we do now?" Because of his personality, Jing Cen is actually a person who rarely listens to others.
But since he got to know the spirit behind him, he has been listening to him.
Even he has to admit that without this person, he probably wouldn't be alive now.
Ji Hui didn't answer Jing Cen immediately, but watched the village chief fumble for something in the night, and when he was about to walk in, he signaled Jing Cen to pick up the stool beside him.
Jing Cen: ...
Forced to grope for the stool, he froze for a moment.
Ji Hui raised the corners of his lips.
"Don't worry, he's still human."
The moment the village chief opened the door, Jing Cen gritted his teeth and smashed down the stool, one step ahead of the village chief.
In the lightning, the knife in the village head's hand disappeared in a flash, before he could stab it out.
Jing Cen breathed a sigh of relief after watching the man fall, and then realized what he had just done.
As the young master of the Jing family, he has always been well-clothed and served by others, and this is the first time he has done such a thing as fighting.
This is even more exaggerated than his love at first sight for Jiang Yuhan.
Jing Cen had a strange expression on his face.
Ji Hui smiled lightly: "You did a good job."
He is too lazy to mess with such things as beating people, so he should leave it to Jing Cen in the future.
The village head was only stunned for a short time by the knock, Jing Cen didn't need Ji Hui's guidance this time, and took out the rope beside the table to tie up the old guy who was about to stab him.
Just a little curious in my heart.
The villager who brought him food has no legs.
How could this village chief be human?
And under such dark conditions just now, can people really see it?
Under the guidance of the spirit behind him, he knew where there was a stool and when to make a move, but the village chief was obviously alone.
Ji Hui also realized that he was human when he saw him touching the knife.
If it was a ghost, there would be no such behavior at all.
Ghosts are not afraid of people at all.
He lit the candlestick this time, and sat gently on the chair, seeing Jing Cen's doubts.
He replied, "Then you have to ask him."
The village head was already awake at this time, he opened his cloudy eyes, and when he realized what happened, he opened his eyes wide.
"You, why are you here?!"
Sure enough, he couldn't see himself.
Seeing that he only questioned Jing Cen, Ji Hui was thoughtful.
Jing Cen was not surprised that the village chief didn't find the spirit behind him.
After all, it is the spirit behind it, how can ordinary people see it.
It's just that in the dim room, Jing Cen, who had just saved his life again, looked at the ferocious village head on the ground, and couldn't help being distracted for a moment.
——Speaking of which, what does the primate look like in the back?
