Chapter 168: Expelling Filth

Densely packed black coffins were hanging on the mountain wall, there were more than a hundred of them.

Some of the coffins have rotted away, and the dry bones inside can be seen through the holes. It is obvious that these coffins have been hanging here for a long time.

But some of the coffins are very new, with the black paint still shining, and they must have been placed on the mountain wall for no more than half a year.

And these new coffins almost account for half of the total number.

In other words, within half a year, nearly fifty people died accidentally in this village.

There are only about fifty households in this village. How could so many people die in such a short time?
At the same time, Lin Jue also noticed that there was a touch of red among these black coffins. It was a vermilion coffin, like a drop of blood dripped into a ball of ink. It was placed in the center of the mountain wall, which was particularly abrupt.

Moreover, the red coffin was exceptionally new, and the entire scarlet color looked like slowly flowing blood, which seemed like it could flow down at any time and dye the entire mountain wall red.

"Master, why is that coffin red?"

Lin Jue is like a man with a hundred thousand whys, fully demonstrating the spirit of exploring to the end.

The old man's face turned ugly. This question seemed to have irritated a nerve in him. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask! Since you are here to have fun, don't ask about the affairs of the village. Leave as soon as you are done playing!"

Seeing Lin Jue was about to take out money again, the old man hurriedly stepped back: "It's no use giving me money!"

Lin Jue paused while taking out the money, took a deep look at the red coffin, and muttered, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Why are you reacting so strongly? Is there a ghost hiding inside?"

The old man's face froze slightly, and he opened his mouth, but in the end he left in a hurry without saying a word.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Lin Jue frowned. He should be right. The red coffin should be some kind of taboo and cannot be mentioned.

“No sound…no sound…”

Lin Jue silently repeated the name of the village in his heart. Bu Ming can be understood as not to say. Could it be that Bu Ming means that something or someone cannot be mentioned?

Could it be that red coffin?
[Plot 2: After a difficult journey, you finally arrived at this village, but this village is not what you imagined. It seems to be hiding a secret.]

Listening to the plot in his head, Lin Jue took a step forward and caught up with the old man.

Near the entrance of the village, two big men approached with a strange-looking tank in their hands. It looked a bit like a fish tank, but the bottom of the tank was covered with a thin layer of dust.

It's not lime or earth ash, but more like the ashes left from burning paper money.

The most important thing is that the ashes are still emitting black gas.

What kind of weird weapon is this?
While Lin Jue was thinking, the two big men greeted the old man: "Lao Hei, is this the last spot you brought back?"

Seeing the two men, the old man known as "Lao Hei" smiled ingratiatingly and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes."

"Good, we've got all ten spots for this week." A big man pulled something out of his pocket, covered it with his big hand, and stuffed it into Lao Hei's pocket: "This is for you."

It looked like a candle, but because it was deliberately blocked, Lin Jue was not sure if he was seeing things.

"Thank you. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first." Lao Hei hid the things in his clothes and ran away in a hurry.

It felt like hiding a fist-sized piece of gold while crossing the street, fearing that it would be robbed. At that time, Lin Jue was holding a whole briefcase of cash but was not as alert as the other party.

Lin Jue was about to follow Lao Hei in, but was stopped by a big man: "Wait, you have to get rid of the dirt on your body before you can come in. You are an outsider and have been contaminated by the filth of the outside world. If you rush in like this, you will offend the gods." What kind of trick is this?
Lin Jue sniffed his arm, looking puzzled. "No, I just went to the bathhouse and had a scrub yesterday. The old man was very strong and scrubbed all the dead skin off my body. If you don't believe me, smell it."

The big man slapped Lin Jue's arm away with disdain: "That's not what I'm talking about. If you want to enter the village, you have to go through a special ritual to expel dirt and turbidity."

"What is the process?" Zhao Huayu, who was transformed by Lin Jue, was completely a curious baby.

"Just cooperate." The big man said, and took out a small bottle of water from his pocket. Green algae could be seen in the water, which was obviously freshly drawn from the river.

"This is the water we just brought in from the Holy River today..."

As he spoke, he placed the jar of ash on the ground, unscrewed the cap, and poured water into it. "Combined with the ash from the burnt talisman paper drawn by the Taoist priest, it can dispel turbidity and remove dirt."

As the water was poured into the tank, it instantly became turbid, like sesame paste that had been added with a lot of water and stirred into a very thin layer. It looked quite nauseating.

"You don't want me to drink this?"

Lin Jue stared at the tank of water. Although he was not picky about food and had eaten everything for acting in his previous life, it was still a little difficult for him to accept drinking this kind of water.

"No." The big man took out a willow branch soaked in water from somewhere, put it into the jar and stirred it, then took it out and sprinkled it on Lin Jue a few times.

A few drops of turbid water fell on the exposed flat surface, and there was a slight burning sensation. The water stains turned into round black spots, like newly grown moles.

All the taboos were triggered at this time, which surprised Lin Jue a little. These muddy waters were actually spreading pollution.

The so-called exorcism ceremony seems to be just a means for these people to control outsiders.

"Okay, it's over. Don't shower in the village these few days. Wash after you go out." The big man put his things away and stretched out his hand to Lin Jue: "You are the last one to be admitted. I will give you a discount. 998 will be enough."

Just for such a messy trick, you have to pay 998?

This is probably a pyramid scheme organization, and you have to pay a membership fee!

"Damn it!" The old man in the backpack seemed to be frightened by the price and cursed out what was in his heart on behalf of Lin Jue. Even Gui couldn't stand such a despicable way of cheating people out of money.

The big man's expression suddenly turned unfriendly: "What did you just say?"

"Brother, I'm from the northwest. In our place, 'nima' means no problem." Lin Jue picked up his backpack calmly.

"If you want to give it, give it. If you don't want to give it, go back to where you came from." The big man was obviously not as easy to talk to as the old black man before, and his attitude was very domineering.

Lin Jue took out the money, pulled out ten bills and handed them to the big man.

Once this script is over, I will take the money back. It is impossible to cheat money from him.

The big man's expression looked better then. He found two coins for Lin Jue and let him in.

He also kindly reminded us, "If you want to stay overnight, every farmer in the village can provide accommodation, but you need to pay."

"Okay, I got it." Lin Jue had a preliminary understanding of the village in his mind.
