According to what Village Chief Li said, it turned out that a hundred years ago, the fifth-generation patriarch Li Yuan was bewitched by the giant snake around him at that time. The other party claimed that the red snake contained a spiritual elixir that could revive the dead after being taken.

, to achieve immortality.

At that time, the red snake had turned into a dragon after five hundred years of practice.

In order to accumulate good deeds, and because it has been worshiped by the incense of Guxun Village for hundreds of years, the red dragon has always been close to its relatives and will never attack any villagers who go up the mountain. In addition, it is in the transformation stage and needs to absorb the essence of the sun, moon and mountain air all year round.

Most of the time, it lived under the rock cave of Xitan. Because of this, it unfortunately fell into the hands of the ancestors of the Li family.

According to the records of ancestors, when they captured the red dragon, they discovered that it was three meters long, had a head like a tiger, and a voice like a cow. Its neck had blue and white patterns, its chest was ocher, and its limbs were like brocade.

Colorful colors.

Not only that, under the snake body, four legs have grown, showing signs of transforming into a dragon.

As the saying goes, all things have spirits. At that time, some tribesmen felt sorry for the red dragon that it was not easy to practice and tried to persuade the clan leader to let him live. But even so, in order to seize the spiritual elixir and live forever, Li Yuan brutally killed the red dragon and gave it to him.

Peel and perform laparotomy.

However, in the end, they discovered that there was no legendary elixir in the red dragon's body; not only that, this stupid approach also brought disaster to Guxun Village.

Although the physical body has died, the soul of the red dragon has not dissipated; on the contrary, seeing that thousands of years of Taoism have been destroyed in one fell swoop, and it can no longer transform into a dragon, the dragon spirit's resentment is difficult to calm down, and it turns into a ghost dragon to cause trouble, unwilling to enter reincarnation again.

.

The originally beautiful Qingyuan Mountain was affected by poisonous miasma, and the wild beasts in the mountain became violent. The Yongjiang River also burst its banks and flooded overnight, washing away most of the village. For a time, there were countless casualties in Guxun Village, and the villagers were kept in the dark.

, I thought it was a punishment from God.

In order to ward off the flood and the subsequent revenge of the dragon spirits, Da Jian finally came up with a way. They found a very yin place in the mountains and dug a well. They used the yin gathering formation and the mountain feng shui layout to chain

He trapped the dragon's physical and spiritual body and lowered it into the well.

To the outside world, the clan leader Li Yuan and Da Jin lied about offering sacrifices to the river god and taking the girls as brides to the river god; in fact, the innocent girls selected were all pure yin bodies used to suppress the dragon spirits.

Use the method of joy and mourning to increase resentment, kill girls, use their blood as sacrifices, seal the resentment in the water, and trap the souls in Qingyuan Mountain forever to fight against ghost dragons. Thanks to this method, Guxun Village has gained

A brief moment of peace.

But the seal needs to be strengthened again every once in a while, so the emperor made a rule that every twenty years, a girl in the village would be selected as a sacrifice.

The shrine set up outside the village not only formed a gathering formation, but also formed a barrier to protect the village, so that the souls of the girls whose eyes and tongues were gouged out would be lost in the mountains forever, unable to find their way home.

road.

"Old man, you deserve to die." After hearing this, Lin Yuanqi frowned in disgust.

"A few days ago, did you capture a girl named Li Ying and use her to sacrifice the ghost dragon?" Ling Yun asked the other party.

Village Chief Li readily admitted this. After all, Li Ying was the only qualified sacrifice in the village. Seeing that the day of the twenty-year sacrifice was imminent, he knew that Li Ying was a filial girl, so he took advantage of the old man's critical illness.

He deceived Li Ying about getting the medicine.

After Li Ying came to the door, he and several members of his clan tied him up, changed his clothes overnight and took him to Qingyuan Mountain.

Li Ying's parents died early, and no one in the family would know about it except her seriously ill mother-in-law. When everything was settled, she would explain to the villagers that everything was done voluntarily by Li Ying. The village chief thought that he

The plan was foolproof, but who knew that this time, it would make a big mistake.

Li Ying had a childhood sweetheart named Zhou Guang. The two grew up together and had a good relationship. When Zhou Guang was eight years old, his father was bitten to death by a wild beast while going hunting in the mountains. Since then, the child has been alone.

Living alone. Li Ying's family is kind-hearted. When her parents were alive and her mother-in-law was in good health, she took good care of each other.

Zhou Guang is three years younger than Li Ying. Li Ying has always treated him as a younger brother and would sew clothes for him on weekdays. Although Zhou Guang admires Li Ying in his heart, he also knows that his family is poor and cannot give her anything better.

Therefore, they have always treated each other as brother and sister, hiding this love deep in their hearts.

On the day Li Ying disappeared, Zhou Guang noticed something was wrong. After asking nearby villagers who had witnessed Li Ying's whereabouts, he followed her up Qingyuan Mountain.

In order to earn some living expenses, Zhou Guang often went to the mountains to hunt and collect herbs alone. Therefore, he was already familiar with the terrain of Qingyuan Mountain. After entering the mountain, Zhou Guang quickly discovered the traces left by the village chief and his party.

.Following the footprints left by the other party, Zhou Guang finally found the area near the ruined temple before midnight.

At that time, the village chief and his party were about to torture Li Ying, who had just woken up from a coma. At the critical moment, Zhou Guang came out with an axe. In order to save Li Ying, he frantically slashed several clan members. Everyone

They fought together and the situation fell into chaos for a time.

Hearing this, Ling Yun immediately thought that when Zhou Mu and his companions visited the village chief's house for the first time, several of the clan members around him did have a lot of injuries. It turned out that there was such a truth hidden behind these injuries.

The young man named Zhou Guang mentioned by the village chief should be the "A Guang" that Granny Li Ying called before.

Village Chief Li told everyone that he did not expect Zhou Guang to have such courage to rush out and destroy the sacrifice. In desperation, he had to threaten Li Ying's life to make the other party stop.

He promised Zhou Guang that he would not hurt Li Ying any more, and even pretended to loosen Li Ying's bonds. But when Zhou Guang dropped the weapon, Village Chief Li ordered someone to break his hands and feet, and then in front of Li Ying, he

He kept beating Zhou Guang severely, with no intention of leaving him alive.

Li Ying begged to no avail, and when she was heartbroken, she took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and jumped directly into the well.

Realizing that the sacrifice was missing a key link, but no one dared to go down the well; Village Chief Li took a chance and asked people to block the mouth of the well to ensure that the sacrifice must be completed. Then he ordered the clan members to put the grief-stricken Zhou Guang in the well.

He was beaten to death by the well.

Afterwards, they packed Zhou Guang's body in an extra box and buried him in the locust forest. As for Li Ying's body, they took it back to the village as usual and accepted the worship of the villagers as usual.

Village Chief Li has conducted such a ceremony three times, and no accidents have ever occurred in the past, and the ghost dragons have been suppressed very well; but only this year, after Li Ying's body was brought back to the village, the village began to have frequent

A series of strange things happened.
