The junction of Wuzhou Mansion and Cangshan Prefecture.

At the same time, it is also the crossing border between the Wushanling branch and the Cang'er Mountain branch.

There is a small town just outside the mountain.

It's called Jinsha Town.

It is rumored that in the early days, this town was originally a temporary gathering place for logging in the mountains, hunting, medicine pickers, quarrymen, etc., but later because more and more people gathered, it gradually became prosperous, and it slowly developed into today's Jinsha Town.

Jinsha Town is not rich in gold.

The reason why the people gave the town this name at the beginning means that the reason why everyone gathered here in the first place was to pan for gold to support their families.

On this day, a group of people came from outside Jinsha Town.

The group consisted of three people.

They are two Taoist priests, one old and one young.

Plus a middle-aged man with a big belly.

The young Taoist priest was wearing a five-colored Taoist robe, a pair of ten-square shoes on his feet, and a nine-dimensional Taoist scarf on his head.

This young Taoist priest is naturally Jin'an.

Since Jin An began to wear the Taoist nine scarves, his hair was not long, short or short, and he had some nondescript shawl hair, and after coiling his hair, he put on the nine scarves, and finally no longer was embarrassed to stare at his hair.

And among the remaining two, it is naturally the old Taoist priest, and Li Guard, who must go to Headless Village to be the corpse king.

Since a few days ago, after they found clues about Headless Village through the Xue family, on the second day, after seeing that the eldest and young grandmother of the Xue family and the old lady of the Xue family were all fine, they set off directly to find Headless Village.

Although it is very likely that the eldest young master of the Xue family is already fierce and unlucky at this time, but if he takes people's money, he has to do good things for the main family, he has to see people in life and corpses in death.

In fact.

The accompanying old Taoist priest and Li Huwei were very clear in their hearts.

The reason why Jin An insisted on coming to Headless Village this time.

It is estimated that he also wants to find the headless village to find, find the Taoist Yu Youzi of the Five Organs Taoist Temple who was killed in the headless village, and want to bury the corpse of the other party and put it into the ground.

lest they become lonely ghosts in the wilderness.

Jin An looked up at the sky, it was getting dark, and it was not suitable to go into the mountains today, so they planned to go to Jinsha Town tonight to stay overnight.

Wait until tomorrow to get up early and then go into the mountains to look for a hanging road.

Today's atmosphere in Jinsha Town is tense, and before we arrived in Jinsha Town, along the way, we encountered several interrogations by government officials and village warriors, and two portraits of wanted criminals were posted at the city gate.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that there were two wanted criminals who had not blinked an eye for murder, and after recently fleeing to Jinsha Town to commit a series of murders, they fled into the nearby mountains yesterday.

In order to prevent the two wanted criminals from going back and returning to Jinsha Town, the local government was tense, arresting people everywhere and searching.

The three of them lined up to enter the city, and soon it was their turn, Jin An and the old Taoist priest had a Taoist saucer, and Li Escort also had a guide, so when they entered the city to check their identity, they didn't encounter any trouble.

When the soldiers guarding the city gate checked the paperwork of the three people, they did not let them go immediately, and then there were two seventeen or eighteen-year-old Taoist priests who were running around in the wind and rain all the year round, and their skin was slightly rough and dark, to check the whites of the eyes of the three people.

Then he handed out a jug of wine for the three of them to drink.

"Sanyang wine?"

Jin An and the old Taoist priest immediately smelled the strong smell of medicinal herbs emanating from the wine jug.

"This Daoist brother has a good nose, this pot of wine is indeed Sanyang wine, Dao Chang, Dao brother, many offenses, I hope to be considerate of one or two, trouble the two to cooperate with the government's actions, and drink a bowl of Sanyang wine. ”

Maybe it's because of the relationship between peers, or maybe it's because Jin An and the old Taoist priest can smell the relationship between Sanyang wine at once, and the attitude of the two seventeen or eighteen-year-old little Taoist priests opposite has changed to much more respectful.

Wine can dissipate qi, while Sanyang wine is pure yang and is specially used to drive away evil spirits.

Jin An groaned.

It seems that this Jinsha Town has been making evil things recently, and this inspection of the whites of the eyes should be to check whether the whites of people's eyes have black marks of evil spirits, so as to prevent evil people from mixing into the town and harming people.

Jin An has been mixing with the old Taoist priest for so long, and he has long been familiar with these methods of exorcising evil spirits and identifying evil spirits.

When Jin An said his thoughts, he really got affirmative answers from the two little Taoist priests opposite.

"We have to start with the rainy season. ”

The person who spoke was a thinner Taoist priest with an active personality, and Jin An already knew that his name was Zhao Youcai.

He is a junior brother.

And another shy and honest little Taoist priest is his senior brother, his name is Sun Ping, Sun Ping is not as lazy and slippery as Zhao Youcai, and he is diligently feeding Sanyang wine to other people entering the city and checking the whites of his eyes for abnormalities.

They are all locals of Jinsha Town, and their master is a Taoist priest named Tiejuan in the town's mortuary village.

Zhao Youcai continued: "Most of the people in Jinsha Town are hunters, medicine pickers, quarrymen, and lumberjacks who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, so many people go to the mountains to seek a livelihood on weekdays. ”

"Originally, this has always been peaceful. ”

"But since the beginning of this year's rainy season, as long as it rains, there are a few people who have not returned from time to time. When they were found by their relatives, they were found to have been circling in circles, unable to wake up no matter how they shouted, until they fainted from exhaustion, and they would wake up early the next morning and return to normal. ”

"Even the hunters and herb pickers who have not been found will come back the next day, claiming that they have been in the mountains for a night, and they can't get out of the mountains until the next day. ”

"It's been a lot of trouble, no one has dared to enter the mountains anymore in the past few days, and the only ones who have entered the mountains are the pair of wanted brothers who fled into the mountains. The people of Jinsha Town said that someone died in the mountains before, and no one helped collect the corpses, so after dying for a long time, the resentment became heavier and heavier, and it slowly became a mandrill to harm people. ”

"So how many people have been killed?" Jin An asked curiously.

Zhao Youcai shook his head and said that it was not, not to mention that people were killed, it was a miracle that he was not taken away by hungry tigers, wild bears and wolves in the mountains all night.

His master said that this mountain ghost who died in the mountain just wanted to find the way to the mountain, and it was not harmless. People are harmless, and ghosts will not knock on the door and harm you.

The mountain is a shady land, because the canopy of the trees covers the sky and the sun, the sunshine is not sufficient, and there are many canyon basins, so these places are low-lying places that are extremely easy to gather yin qi, and it is easy to breed yin strange things.

But no one can tell, if this evil really walks out of the mountains with people, will it hurt people instead?

So the town invited the only Taoist priest in the town to go out and go into the mountains to find the shadowy traces.

But to no avail.

Recently, they happened to encounter two murder wanted criminals who fled to the vicinity of Jinsha Town, so they could only return to the town first, and fully guard to keep the people of Jinsha Town safe.

That's why we have the situation in front of us.

They were responsible for checking the people entering the city one by one for any abnormalities.

At this time, because the night was dark, the city gate was about to be closed, and the number of people entering the city increased suddenly, and Sun Ping alone was no longer busy, so Zhao Youcai hurriedly ran to help his senior brother.

Subsequently, Jin An and his party entered the city.

When the three of them passed through the city gate hole, they saw a small room in the city gate hole, which was a special place for the soldiers guarding the city gate to rest.

In the small room, sitting cross-legged was a middle-aged Taoist priest who was practicing luck with his eyes closed.

It seems that this is the Taoist priest in the mortuary village, the Taoist priest of the iron scroll.

The other party seemed to sense Jin An's gaze.

Keep your eyes closed.

At Jin An and the old Taoist priest, who were also wearing Taoist robes, they bowed their heads slightly and gave a fist salute, which could be regarded as a friendly greeting.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest also clasped their fists with both hands, intersecting their mouths, with their left hand on their right hand, like a yin and yang diagram, and saluted each other.

This is the ritual of meeting Taoist friends in the world.

Li Huwei also made a secular fist salute to the Iron Scroll Daoist.

Not long after entering Jinsha Town, the sky darkened, and then not long after, the sharpening sword that sneaked into the town also joined the three of them in Jin'an, and then the four of them found an inn to live in.

......

......

Nothing was said all night.

Next.

When the four of Jin'an got up and had breakfast at the inn, suddenly, the people of Jinsha Town hurriedly ran towards the city gate.

"Everyone, go to the city gate, the bodies of the two brothers Wang Haichuan and Wang Haifu, who are wanted for murder, have been found!"

"It was found by the three masters and apprentices of the Iron Scroll Daoist!"

"The Wang brothers, who are full of evil, deserve their crimes, and they have finally been retributed!"

"The Wang brothers of the masters of the rivers and lakes have been ambushed in the hands of the three masters and apprentices of the Iron Scroll Daoist!"

What the!

The Wang brothers finally ambushed?

The people of Jinsha Town were all fried, beating gongs and drums for a while, cheering and running to tell each other.

Even the diners who were eating breakfast in the inn went to the empty building, and all the big guys followed the people on the street to the direction of the city gate to watch the bodies of the Wang brothers.

Where can I still take care of eating.

I am afraid that if I go late, I will not be able to occupy a good position to watch the bodies of the Wang brothers.

Not only did the people of Jinsha Town hate them, but also in many places in Wuzhou Mansion there were merchants and rich sons who were kidnapped and killed by them, and they were notorious.

The streets were full of cheers, lively, applause, all spitting and scolding the Wang brothers for killing well, and the people in the town all ran to the city gate to watch the bodies of the Wang brothers, which actually caused a spectacle of thousands of empty alleys in a short time.

The people live on food.

Heaven and earth are the most full-fed.

It wasn't until after eating breakfast that the four of Jin An got up and went to the city gate to watch the excitement.

At this time, Jinsha Town, thousands of empty alleys and empty streets, but it avoided the chaos of crowding.

It's just that.

When the four of them came to the outside of the city, they found that the place was already overcrowded, and the people of Jinsha Town surrounded the bodies of the Wang brothers on six floors inside and six layers outside.

Even the nearby canopy was full of people watching the excitement.

Looking at the overwhelmed and bent branches, Jin An was really worried that those branches would snap and cause a stampede.

Suddenly, Jin An, who was standing on the outermost periphery, saw that there were officials and village warriors, pushing several carts of lychee tree branches to the crowd.

Then these officials and villagers pushed the people away, and the people gave way one after another, for fear of colliding with these officials.

Jin An, Sharpening the Sword, and Li Huwei had practiced martial arts, and their bodies were very strong, so they took the opportunity to follow behind these Ya Servants and squeezed into the crowd.

The thin old Taoist priest also hurriedly followed the figures of the three of them.

Several people took advantage of the strength, squeezed to the front of the crowd, and finally saw the bodies of the Wang brothers, who died a terrible death.

The corpse was separated.

"If this iron scroll Taoist doesn't make a move, it's just a skullopener, and the corpse is directly separated......" The old Taoist priest saw the two human heads placed next to the two headless corpses, and felt that the iron scroll Taoist who looked very kind yesterday didn't see that in addition to the identity of the Taoist, he was actually a decisive martial arts master.

"Huh?"

At this time, the old Taoist priest looked carefully at the two human heads next to the corpse, and suddenly let out a surprised voice.

Not only did the old Taoist priest see the abnormality of the two human heads, but Jin An, Sharpening Sword, and Li Huwei also saw the abnormality.

The Wang brothers looked a little terrible in death, they didn't blink their eyes, their eyes were wide open, their faces were iron-blue, the blue muscles on their faces were bursting out, and their eyes were full of treacherous black silk.

But the strangest thing is not this, both human heads actually showed signs of high decay, and they looked like they had been dead for ten days and a half months.

But the body has not yet shown signs of decay.

Jin An looked at the several truckloads of lychee tree branches transported by the yali, and his eyes were groaning.

He finally understood.

Why didn't the yamen transport the bodies into the city, but cremated them on the spot outside the city, I am afraid that the death of the wanted murderer was not man-made.

But I was unlucky enough to meet a mountain ghost in the mountains, yin.

"Daoist Jin An and Daochang Chen, didn't you say that the wanted criminal brothers had just fled into the mountains the day before yesterday, how could you look at the fact that the degree of decay of this head and body is completely different?"

Escort Li asked in a low voice.

Just as Li Huwei was questioning, everyone saw that Sun Ping and Zhao Youcai, the two brothers who were familiar with them yesterday, with a few helpers, came to several carriages with lychee tree branches stacked on their side, intending to carry the lychee tree branches and cremate the bodies during the day.

"Trail Chief. ”

"Trail Chief. ”

Escort Li, who is easy to give people the image of a fat man with a wide heart and a fat body, and is kind and easy to talk, beckoned to the pair of senior brothers and asked what was going on with those two corpses?

When the two brothers saw that it was Jin An and his party, they explained the reason in a low voice while being lazy and lazy.

The Wang brothers were really not killed by the three of them.

After closing the city gate and curfew yesterday, the chief of the iron scroll took the two apprentices and prepared to enter the mountain again.

It had just rained in the mountains the day before yesterday, and it was the most active period in the mountains, so maybe you could bump into the yin that has been getting bigger and bigger recently.

As a result, the bodies of the wanted pair were accidentally found.

It's just that when they found the body, the two of them were not normal at all, and they had been walking back and forth on a steep cliff road, as if they had been hit by a ghost hitting the wall and couldn't get out.

The three of them originally wanted to set up an ambush to capture the two alive, and then bring out the ghost to fight the wall.

Who knew that the Iron Scroll Daoist had just fished the two out of the ghost wall and taken them out of the cliff road, but the moment the two woke up, their bodies were separated and their heads fell to the ground.

Cliff Road?

The old Taoist priest and Li Huwei looked happy, what is this called, they brought pillows as soon as they fell asleep, and it didn't take any effort to get them?

The two of them hurriedly asked the senior brothers in front of them carefully what the cliff road looked like, and where was the specific direction?

After listening to the description, it was said that the cliff road was very steep and difficult to walk, and it was difficult to even drop half a person's foot at the narrowest point, and it was a fault zone at the border between Wushan Ridge and Cang'er Mountain, and several people finally determined that this was not the hanging road they had been looking for!

But the old Taoist priest immediately became worried again.

How does this look like the fierce ghosts in the headless village have come out of the cage and started to run out and affect the hanging road?

The reaction of Li Huwei and the old Taoist priest was the opposite.

His eyes lit up.

This is a fierce ghost!

He could not be agitated.

His dream has finally come true, and he is finally going to hit the evil spirit.

Under the urging of Li Huwei, the group of four decided to enter the mountain immediately, not waiting for the iron curl road chief to cremate the bodies of the Wang brothers.

Soon after.

When the four people who returned to the inn to check out and retrieve their bags, they crashed into the vast mountains and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
