Chapter 489 Dream, Land Kills Ghosts

Just when the old village chief was about to commit suicide.

In another room in the courtyard, a couple was looking at their sleeping baby, with the same sad face.

They were the son and daughter-in-law of the old village chief. They were naturally clear about the situation in the village and the old village chief's thoughts.

But what could they do?

If they stopped their father's behavior, the whole village would be slaughtered by ghosts.

If they didn't stop him, that was their father.

Let them watch their father commit suicide, and the grief in their hearts can be imagined.

On the other side, the old village chief had already grasped the kitchen knife and slowly moved it towards his neck.

Although the old village chief didn't want to die.

But with the current situation of their village, there was only this way to go.

As for joining other villages or migrating to towns.

That's not worth thinking about.

The current situation of other villages, even if there are ancestral spirits, is not much better.

As for joining towns, is that something that these poor people can dream of?

Just as he held the kitchen knife tightly, his eyes gradually showed determination, and he was about to turn around and chop it off, he suddenly felt a fuzzy head and a strong sense of sleepiness came over him.

"Hmm~!"

The old village chief shook his head in a daze, but he couldn't resist the sleepiness after all, and fell asleep in a daze, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground with a clang.

In fact, not only the old village chief, but everyone in the village fell asleep at this time.

In a trance, the old village chief felt that he was light and fluttering, walking in a village similar to his own village, but different from it.

The people here all wore strange gray cloth shorts and walked towards the village with smiles on their faces.

In the hustle and bustle, the old village chief took a rough look and felt that this village was at least a large village with hundreds of people.

However, they had never heard of such a village within a hundred miles of their village.

I don't know how he suddenly came here.

However, seeing the carefree and smiling faces of the crowd, the old village chief secretly guessed that there must be a powerful ancestor spirit or even a guardian god here.

Unconsciously, the old village chief seemed to be affected by the emotions of the crowd, and the sorrow in his heart gradually dissipated. A smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards the village with the crowd.

In the process of walking, he gradually knew what everyone was going to do now.

Worship the land in the village

Land??

The old village chief was a little puzzled. What is land? Is it the name of an ancestor spirit? Or the name of a guardian god?

Involuntarily, the old village chief opened his mouth and prepared to ask the people around him.

However, seeing that everyone looked very familiar, the old village chief hesitated again.

Obviously, it was something that everyone was familiar with. Would it be too abrupt for him to suddenly ask?

What he feared most was that he would be beaten to death as a demon.

If he died outside, he would not be able to become the ancestor spirit of the village.

In the end, the old village chief could only suppress his doubts, listen to the chaotic voices coming from the surroundings, and follow the crowd to the outside of the village.

"Haha, today we are offering sacrifices to the land, and we must pray to the land god to bless my family with happiness"

"My child got married a few days ago, today I ask the land god to let my daughter-in-law get pregnant as soon as possible and give me a big fat grandson"

"I hope my child will pass the examination to become a scholar this fall."

". The land god blesses and the crops are abundant"

Along the way, listening to the discussions of the people around him, the old village chief more or less understood what kind of existence the land is.

This is probably similar to a guardian god, who can protect the neighbors, protect the safety of the house, fertile the land, and even suppress demons and evil spirits.

And judging from the expressions of the surrounding villagers, this land should obviously be very effective.

At least, there are no demons and evil spirits around.

While talking and laughing, everyone has arrived at the land temple at the head of the village.

Looking at the small land temple and the clay statue of an old man, the old village chief was a little surprised.

You know, although there are no clay statues in their ancestral worship, the altar occupies a large area, and there are ever-burning bonfires around.

Even if it is extinguished for a while, it must be lit as soon as possible.

Of course, under normal circumstances, with the protection of the power of the ancestors, even if it is windy and rainy, the bonfire will not go out, and the burning fire can illuminate the entire village and the surroundings.

The land temple in front of them is far inferior to their altar. There is only a small house, a clay statue, and a sacrificial incense burner in front.

After everyone arrived, the voices gradually became smaller, and the atmosphere became solemn.

Soon, the village chief of this village stepped forward and began to burn incense and recite sacrificial words.

Then, everyone knelt down, and all kinds of prayers and prayers came into their ears.

Seeing this scene, the old village chief couldn't help but kneel down and pray silently in his heart.

If the God of Land is really spiritual, I hope he can protect our village and help me become the ancestral spirit.

Well, no matter what the land is like, it is always right to pray.

As everyone finished the ceremony and looked up, the old village chief saw the Land Temple in front of him, with smoke rising, and the land in the background seemed to be looming, like a god sitting upright.

Indistinctly, he seemed to see the land smiling at him.

The old village chief couldn't help but blinked hard and rubbed his hands hard.

Then he looked again and found that the statue of the land god still looked like a clay statue.

"Hey~, maybe the old man is dazzled and saw it wrong."

The old village chief murmured and stood up with everyone.

At this moment, a black fog suddenly rose outside the village, and eerie and terrifying strange sounds continued to come out of it.

"Hehe. Haha"

"People, so many people

Haha, so much blood food."

"Hehe, die, die, die, all of you will die"

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned on the spot.

"Ghost, ghost!"

Until someone shouted, everyone suddenly woke up and was in chaos in an instant.

Some people ran to the village, some fell to the ground directly, and some were smart and knelt directly in front of the statue of the land god.

As soon as everyone started to move, the gloomy ghosts outside the village seemed to be awakened and rushed forward.

"Hu~!"

Instantly, dark clouds covered the sky, and even the scorching sun at noon could not reduce it by half. In the dark clouds, it seemed that thousands of ghosts were surging, and strange ghost cries were ringing endlessly.

In an instant, everyone felt the boundless chill invading their bones, and the deep fear rose from the bottom of their hearts. Their bodies were stiff and they could not move at all.

Mingming roared loudly in fear and wanted to escape from this ghost area as soon as possible, but he could not move at all.

Seeing this scene, the old village chief was instantly desperate.

Possessing the cold power that almost condensed blood, the ghosts who were not afraid of the scorching sun at noon, even if the ancestors of their village were still alive, they would only have the fate of being slaughtered with the whole village.

However, what happened next made him stunned and stunned on the spot.

When the gloomy ghost fog approached the village, the small statue of the land god suddenly burst into a faint bright yellow divine light, instantly covering the entire village.

As the divine light covered the village, the coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow disappeared instantly, and the fear in the heart also quickly dissipated.

Being in the range of the divine light, everyone felt a great sense of security, as if the ghosts still wandering in the outside world were now nothing.

Everyone's originally stiff bodies also slowly recovered.

The bright yellow divine light was not so dazzling, it seemed to be just a thin layer.

However, no matter how the gloomy ghosts collided, they could not withstand it at all, and even did not cause it to fluctuate at all, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, under the gaze of the old village chief and everyone, the statue of the land god suddenly came to life and stepped out of the small land temple.

In an instant, his figure suddenly expanded and became a land god with a kind face, but shining with divine light, holding a dragon-headed cane.

After the land god appeared, he immediately looked at the ghost outside the village.

"How dare you, you dare to hurt people and kill people"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the land god waving the dragon-headed cane in his hand, and a bright golden light shot out instantly.

The moment it came into contact with the boundless dark clouds and ghost energy, the golden light suddenly exploded, and instantly turned into thousands of golden lights, destroying the boundless dark clouds and ghost energy.

Then, the golden light spread, and soon submerged and wrapped the dark clouds and ghost energy.

In an instant, a series of shrill screams rang out in the golden light.

"Ah~!"

"No!"

"I don't want to die."

"Save me, I know I was wrong."

Seeing this sudden reversal, although his body had recovered, the old village chief and everyone else were all stiff and unable to move. They just stared at the land god killing ghosts in amazement.

I don't know how long it took, the wailing of the ghosts in the golden light gradually disappeared, and the dazzling golden light also gradually dissipated.

Finally, the golden light dissipated, and the boundless dark clouds, ghosts, resentful souls, and evil spirits all dissipated.

"Hehe."

After destroying all the ghosts, the land god turned his head and looked at everyone, smiled lightly, and took a step back to the land temple.

The light laughter was still lingering in his ears, and the land god had turned into a clay statue again. The bright yellow divine light that enveloped the whole village also began to gradually dim and finally dissipated completely.

At this time, the old village chief just came back to his senses in a daze.

Looking around, if it weren't for the mess around and the many people lying on the ground reminding him, he would have thought that everything just now was just a dream.

At this time, the people around seemed to have come to their senses, and immediately knelt on the ground, praying for the blessing of the land god.

The old village chief was also among those who knelt, with countless sighs and longings in his heart.

If their village also had such a land god, would they not have to worry about the invasion of ghosts? (End of this chapter)
