When Gu Mingtai wanted to catch up again, the ghost general had disappeared from his sight.
"Get up." Gu Mingtai looked sullenly at the villagers who had been clinging to his thighs. At this time, Li Chunlai and the other four who had been hiding outside also walked in one after another.
"Captain Gu, what should we do? The ghost general has already run back to the mountain." Mo Xiaobei walked up to Gu Mingtai with an anxious look on his face and reported.
"Do you still want to pursue her?" Li Chunlai also asked.
Gu Mingtai glanced at the two of them and shook his head. "No need to chase him. He is seriously injured now. It will be easy to find him. We have more important things to deal with now."
After saying this, his cold gaze immediately fixed on the villager who had been pulled up by Zhang Meng.
"You were willing to be sucked by him, right? No, it should be said that the male villagers in your village have actually known for a long time that there is such a ghost on your mountain, and you are still supporting him, right?" Gu Mingtai glared at the male villagers coldly.
The male villager was trembling all over, holding his head in his hands, squatting on the ground, muttering, "I don't know, I don't know what you are talking about."
"You are still hiding it. Do you really want your descendants to be like you, old as a 70 or 80-year-old before the age of 30, and die early." Zhang Meng was so angry that he really wanted to hit this man on the head. He was about to die, but this guy was still protecting the monster that wanted to take his life.
The villager holding his head immediately raised his head and shouted, "Of course I don't want to, how could I possibly want to, but what can I do? This is the rule passed down by our ancestors. Our village has been like this for hundreds of years. I, I don't know what to do."
Zhang Meng immediately took the opportunity to persuade him, "If you don't want to, then tell me. You saw us dealing with that ghost general just now. We are powerful and can help everyone in your village. As long as you tell us honestly what happened."
A struggle flashed in the male villager's eyes. After a long moment, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination. "Okay, I'll tell you, as long as you can help my son not die early like me, that'll be fine."
Just when everyone was delighted, a stern voice suddenly came from outside the door, "No! If you dare to tell anyone, I will make your family leave this village and let you fend for yourselves."
When the male villager saw the old man coming in, his face turned pale with fright and he shouted in fear, "Village Chief."
Zhang Meng and others looked towards the door and found that the old man they met for the first time was actually the village chief.
The village chief glared at him, then immediately looked towards Zhang Meng and the others, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction. "Why are you all still here? This is not the place for you. Please leave our village immediately."
Li Chunlai snorted coldly, "You think we like to come to your village, right? If the ghosts in your village hadn't killed our people, would we come here?"
The village chief glanced at him coldly, then quickly turned to Gu Mingtai. "I don't know what your people are talking about. This is our village's business. I order you to leave the village immediately."
"Village chief, they are people with real skills. I saw it just now. They drove away that thing. The people in our village are saved." The male villager suddenly looked at the village chief excitedly and shouted.
The village chief narrowed his eyes immediately and asked, "Did you chase him away?"
Before Gu Mingtai could answer, the male villager interrupted and said, "It's true, Village Chief, I saw it all. Look at me, he was supposed to have sucked my yang energy away today, but you see, I'm not old now. They saved me."
The village chief stared at the male villager for a while, becoming more and more surprised. Then he looked at Gu Mingtai excitedly, "Do you really have a way to deal with that guy?"
The fish has taken the bait. Gu Mingtai nodded calmly at him, "You've already seen the result, right? And you already believe it in your heart, so why are you asking us?"
The village chief's thoughts were exposed and his face was full of embarrassment.
"Just ask whatever you want to know. I'll tell you anything that can help me get rid of that guy."
The village chief seemed to have become older all of a sudden, and all his vitality seemed to be gone, as if he was a dying man.
"Let me ask you, what's the story behind that ghost general? Why does your village worship it?" Gu Mingtai asked two questions in succession.
The village chief frowned and quickly told a story that had been passed down in the village for hundreds of years.
It is said that this village existed during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, a powerful general appeared in this village. Later, when the general died, he returned home in glory and buried himself in this place.
Originally this village was very poor, but since the general was buried here, the village began to become wealthy. However, a strange problem also arose among the men in the village. That is, the men here would age little by little when they reached the age of 25, and would die when they were about 30 years old.
Later on, every clan leader would have a dream in which a man’s voice asked them to offer a certain number of women every year, otherwise all the people in the village would die.
In desperation, every village chief could only do as the voice in the dream instructed.
"Do you know where that general is buried?" Gu Mingtai asked the village chief.
The village chief nodded without hesitation. "I know. I'll take you there. But can I ask again, can you really help us?"
