The ranger's house was a simple brick structure, with only a few windows and a door, and a little smoke wafted from the chimney next to the window.

When I entered the house, the furnishings were very simple, but it was neat, and a black earth hound had fallen by the stove, its head separated from its body, barely connected by a single skin.

"The dog was torn off raw, and there was a life reaction near the wound." Qianruo squatted down and glanced at it slightly, and he could already see the cause of the dog's death: "Strength shouldn't be something that humans can have. ”

Siyuan glanced down, then turned to the public security chief who was following behind him and said, "Please let all of your people get out of the cordon." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

As soon as the director of the county public security bureau heard Siyuan's words, his head was like pounding garlic, and what he said made him feel some confidence in his heart, after all, this clearance means that this expert from the central government has taken over all the things at hand, and it has nothing to do with him in the future.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Siyuan took off his coat and put on a mask and followed Ning Qingyuan into the room. And when he entered the room, he was greeted by the smoky dark red, the whole room was covered with splattered blood, and the ranger was half slumped on the edge of the bed, and the other half was hanging on the dining table, his head was already stuck to the ground like a crushed sweet potato, and there was no sign of what he had once been human except for a puddle of red and white rotten meat.

"The head was trampled on." Ning Qingyuan took a caliper and measured it in front of the minced meat: "The size of the shoes is about forty-five yards, it should be a big man." ”

"The body broke from the thirteenth lumbar vertebrae. Direct tearing without any stagnation. The blood was drained in twelve seconds. Qianruo was examining another section of her body: "The method is very cruel. ”

Siyuan could still smell the special fishy smell of the blood in the room after it dried up while wearing a mask, but after hearing Qianruo's words, he was suddenly shocked in his heart: "Is it a mountain ghost again?" ”

"No, no, no."

Siyuan immediately denied his guess, the mountain ghost is very evil, and it is very powerful, so powerful It is impossible not to be known by Siyuan at such a close distance, even if it is not known by Siyuan, it is impossible to hide Ning Qingyuan's paper crane, but none of her paper cranes are burning, which means that this thing is probably not a demon.

It's not a demon's words. Could anyone possibly have the ability to tear off an adult man with their bare hands? And judging by the figure of this ranger. His lump is not small, because of regular exercise, the muscles on his body are even tighter and stronger than some people in their thirties and forties, and he can tear off a person raw. It's definitely not something humans can do.

"It seems that the dead have indeed been resurrected." Siyuan walked around the room: "The public security chief told me. When I came in the morning. The gate is open. There is no trace of destruction, I think it must be an acquaintance. ”

"Acquaintances? Didn't it mean that this deceased had a strange temper and didn't have any relatives or friends? ”

"Well, it's dead. There will always be. ”

As soon as Siyuan's words were finished, the corner of his eye suddenly saw that the door of the large wardrobe seemed to be slightly open, so she tilted her head and walked up and gently opened the door of the cabinet: "It seems that there is a discovery!" ”

"What?"

Qian Ruo came up and stood next to Siyuan, looking at the things in the big closet, his face was full of suspicion: "What's wrong?" ”

"There's no clothes in there." Siyuan pointed to three obviously abrupt places: "This place should be a place to put winter clothes, it is full of thick clothes, here is a big wind and sand in spring, and it is normal to have a layer of floating soil on it." But these three places are very clean. ”

"Really!" Qianruo's eyes suddenly lit up: "Let me think about it...... Come on, let's do a scene replay. ”

Siyuan nodded, called Ning Qingyuan together, and the three of them came to the door: "The time of the ranger's death is around twelve o'clock, he is wearing pajamas, and the quilt is half lifted. This means that he was already lying in bed at that time. ”

At that moment, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Chiruo stepped outside and closed the door, then began to slap vigorously and rapidly.

"Then he got dressed and walked here." Siyuan stood next to the clothes that fell to the ground at the door: "Open the door." ”

When Siyuan saw Qianruo at the door, he turned to Ning Qingyuan and said, "Then after this person saw the person standing outside, he was startled, turned around and ran into the house. ”

Qianruo also walked into the house and pointed to the dog on the ground: "At this time, this dog barked at me, and I tore it off with my hand, and then chased Siyuan into the house." ”

"When Chiruo entered the house, I hid in bed and covered my head with a quilt." Siyuan pointed to the half of the corpse on the bed: "It should be that you are dead, don't look for me or something nonsense." ”

"Then I stepped forward and grabbed him by the neck with one hand like this." Qian Ruo grabbed Siyuan's neck with one hand and dragged him out: "After pulling his body out, I grabbed one of his thighs. I twisted it like a towel, and then tore it in half and threw it aside. ”

Siyuan squatted in the big closet in the corner of the old man's death: "Then, she came over and stepped on my head, then stood in this position, turned her head and saw the wardrobe in that direction, and suddenly realized that he was naked, so he went to dig out a few clothes, and didn't care if it was winter or summer, he just put it on his body and left here." ”

"Perfect, that's it!" Qian Ruo snapped his fingers: "Then judging from this series of actions, this resurrected dead man still retains some basic subconscious, such as the shame of nakedness and sensitivity to noise, as well as the nostalgia for the person with whom he had a very good relationship before his death, but he can't restrain the killing order that the brain conveyed to him at all, so this is the case." ”

"...... like this" Ning Qingyuan blinked his eyes: "Why don't you just make the mirror demon?" ”

"Mirror Demon?" Siyuan pointed out the window: "Look outside......"

"Yike...... So many people? Ning Qingyuan walked to the window and took a look, and found that there were actually a crowd of onlookers standing outside, almost in all directions, and there were no dead ends in all directions. Even the brave young man had already climbed on the windowsill and looked at Ning Qingyuan: "Go down!" What's going on with the police here? ”

"Small places are like this, they all know each other from all over the country, maybe they are related to each other, and if they don't violate the principles, they can forget it." Siyuan walked to the window with a smile: "Deputy county magistrate, come on." ”

As soon as he heard the call of the experts, not only the deputy county magistrate, but also the heads and brains of the entire county stood at the door and waited for dispatch.

"Expert, what do you command?"

Siyuan touched his chin: "Can you find out all the friends and contacts of this deceased before his death?" ”

"Yes! Eighteen generations of my ancestors have known this realm. "The deputy county magistrate may have clues when he hears it. The whole person became excited: "What else do you command?" ”

"This corpse. Be sure to cremate before it gets dark today! Siyuan frowned: "You must burn it!" ”

"Burn it? For...... Why? ”

"Do you want him to get up again?" Siyuan leaned into the county magistrate's ear and whispered, "It won't be good for you to know more." ”

When the county magistrate heard this, his neck shrank, and the goosebumps on his body instantly stood up densely, and he couldn't help but shiver twice. His face became very unsightly.

"Specialized...... Expert. You mean...... There really is...... Got dirty? ”

"You just know it. And also. You have to send someone to inspect the whole county, and if you find a person wearing winter clothes, call me immediately. ”

Siyuan wasn't sure whether the clothed dead man had walked into the mountains or into a densely populated area. But after all, there can be a little clue that can't be let go, after all, the current situation is the most terrifying, if the dead person who can kill people is mixed with ordinary people, then the difficulty of investigation is completely different from now, and something like this, this piece is far more than that.

"What do you say now?" Ning Qingyuan walked to Siyuan's side and looked at the crowd of onlookers outside who were in crisis but still silently unknowing: "If it goes on like this, someone will die at night." ”

Siyuan was silent for a while, put his hands in his pockets, and walked out of the door: "You go back first, I'll go and see what the general has found." ”

After letting the two girls leave temporarily, Siyuan followed the mark given by the old zongzi and climbed the mountain for more than 20 miles according to the signal given by the old zongzi.

In the process, he found something that made him feel incomprehensible, the marks of the old zongzi were marked on the leylines in this area, but Si Yuan walked all the way but found that the leylines here had been completely exhausted!

This is almost impossible, because the leylines are interconnected, like rivers that extend in all directions, and it is very difficult to completely dry up like this, unless it is cut off from the source.

But if the leylines are really depleted, then the sequelae it brings can be said to be endless, not to mention that this place will become a place of great evil, and there will be a series of unpredictable disasters, and now it seems that the resurrection of the dead should be the sequelae of the depletion of the leylines.

After walking for about four or five kilometers, Siyuan finally joined up with Lao Zongzi, but Lao Zongzi's expression was ugly, and even the mule next to him had an expression of wanting to eat people.

"What's wrong? How could the leylines be like this? ”

Siyuan frowned, he felt that this place was full of dead qi, this feeling was like entering a mass grave at midnight, according to common sense, it was impossible to have this feeling in a lush mountain forest like this, even if there was yin qi and evil qi, it was just a spirit qi, and there would be no dead qi at all.

"We're in trouble."

The mule smiled bitterly: "I shouldn't be greedy for this money......"

"What's going on?"

When Siyuan saw their expressions, he immediately felt that something very strict should have happened, so he hurriedly asked.

However, his question was not answered, and the mule and the old zongzi sighed in unison, and turned and walked further into the mountains and forests.

Siyuan didn't speak, so he simply followed. After walking for about ten minutes, his vision suddenly widened, and the dense woods were cut off, replaced by a barren valley, separated by a line, and beyond the valley was a verdant late spring scene, but inside the valley was a withered yellow winter.

"What's going on!"

The closer you get to this place, the more the dead air becomes, and you don't have to think about it to know where the dead air comes from. Now after seeing this barrenness, Siyuan suddenly understood.

"Look."

The old zongzi walked up to a tree stump: "Look at this." ”

Siyuan stepped forward and looked down at this stump, the annual rings on it were dense, I don't know how much wind and rain it had experienced, its wood was fine and smooth, it was the best material at a glance, and it had to have at least seven or eight people to work together to enclose it, which fully showed that this tree can be called the treasure of the town here.

But...... This treasure of the town and mountain has been cut down, and only a bare stump is left in front of Siyuan.

"It's ......"

"The source of the leylines." The mule smiled coldly: "The division of the leylines is bounded by the river, and there is only one source of the leylines in a place. This is also the land old man we often see in Journey to the West. But that's fiction. The land inside is too weak. In fact, strictly speaking, Zhenyuan Daxian is also a land lord, do you think he is weak? ”

Siyuan touched his head and nodded: "I know the power of the origin of the leyline. ”

Don't think about it...... I have a leyline source in my own home. That guy is amazing. But...... Who could have the ability to cut down a leyline source that ordinary people can't even see?

"The source of the leylines. Treasure. The mule took out three sticks of incense from his bosom. After lit it, he knelt under the big stump, and kowtowed three times with a bang: "The thick soil is on top, accept my worship!" ”

But I didn't expect that. The three sticks of incense broke in two without warning at the moment he kowtowed, and after seeing this, the mule stood up and said to Siyuan: "You see, there is no earthly vein here to protect you." ”

"My God......"

Siyuan suddenly felt his scalp tingle, how could he know what would become of a place without the protection of the leylines, and in the end, it would become a barren land full of the breath of death!

"When the circle expands all the way out, that's when there are no more of these people." The mule cut its finger and blood dripped on the stump: "It's good that it's deeply entrenched and can still have a little aftermath." My mana is very low, so I can only use this aftermath to delay it for two days, and after two days...... Big brother, don't blame me. I tried my best. ”

Siyuan took a deep breath: "Who is so bold that he even dares to touch the leyline." ”

"Monkey King, didn't he pull up the ginseng fruit in Journey to the West?"

"Wait...... Ginseng fruit, you say? ”

"Yes, this is the ginseng fruit tree, the fruit of the leyline."

The green tendons on Siyuan's forehead bounced up, his eyes were red, and he punched the stump with all his might, and suddenly looked up to the sky and scolded: "Zuo Mingxuan, I'm your ancestor!" ”

This time Siyuan was really angry, and the ginseng fruit he received inexplicably during the Chinese New Year was still in the refrigerator...... That thing was given by Zuo Mingxuan, and now it seems that that guy really won't do anything good, he really dares to cut down ginseng fruit trees! , how awesome is that to dare to do such a thing!

"What now?"

"It's hard." The mule shook his head: "There are only two solutions, but looking at this trace, it has not been cut for a day or two, but its thousands of years of accumulation have allowed it to last for a few more months." It's too difficult to save this leyline spirit now, and now they should all have entered the reincarnation gate, and they will be reincarnated in three to five years. Another way is to find another earth spirit and let it replace this earth spirit, but the essence of water and soil on one side, the earth spirit in other places does not say whether you can get it, even if you get it, I'm afraid...... It will also be unadaptable. ”

Siyuan gritted his teeth: "If I have seeds, can you plant them alive?" ”

"I can only try, and." The mule's face was stern: "Three days, I can only hold out for a maximum of three days, and these three days will become darker because of my spell stimulation." It's up to you whether you can hold it or not, and you can bring me the seeds in the last three days. ”

Siyuan really didn't expect Zuo Mingxuan to play this trick, he didn't know what he was doing with this tree, but it definitely wouldn't be to build a house. But now is not the time to toss this matter, the most important thing is to bring the ginseng fruit in the refrigerator, and suppress the tide of dead people in the past few days!

Dead people! This is a more terrifying thing than the zombie outbreak, those resurrected and alive with superhuman strength, will go on a killing spree because of the hatred and anger of the leylines.

"I'm sorry for you." Siyuan pressed his chest and panted heavily: "I'll try my best to find a way." ”

After he finished speaking, without saying a word, he went directly to his home thousands of miles away, using the forbidden technique of three escapes, and when he rushed into the house, he was just in time for the little mountain god and the dream scale to go home. As soon as the little mountain god saw him, his eyes were stunned, and then he cried out.

"Huh?" Siyuan was also stunned: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Dead...... He's dead...... I smelled it, and died. The little mountain god cried incoherently: "It's terrible......"

That's it...... Probably because she was also a spirit of the leylines, the little mountain god smelled the death breath of another mountain god, and this breath made her feel a deep fear.

"Don't be afraid...... Siyuan walked to the refrigerator freezer and took out the ginseng fruit and squatted in front of the little mountain god: "Let me ask you, do you know this?" ”

"Yes! I have red fruit on me, not this white. ”

"That's Zhu Guo, right?" Siyuan let out a sigh: "Why didn't you say it earlier." ”

"You didn't ask......"

"Okay...... Siyuan took a deep breath: "Can this still be grown?" ”

"Can ......" the little mountain god nodded: "But ...... Want...... What do you want? I forgot about it. ”

"Are you sure you want anything else?"

"Hmmm! I use that when I grow radishes and fruits, I don't know what it's called, it's a kind of sweet water. ”

"Sweet water? What is it? ”

"Leyline Spring." The dream scales next to him lazily leaned on the sofa and watched TV: "I am the old master who watered it with the vein spring, familiar and familiar." ”

"Where can I have it?"

"Wherever there is a leyline, there can be it, but this is the case. Lord, it's very troublesome, because ......" Dream Scale's expression was full: "The leyline spring will be depleted with the death of the leyline spirit, there is only one way, but Dream Scale doesn't want to sue you." ”

"Say it......"

"Replace it with your own spiritual power." Dream Scale bit her lip and said in embarrassment, "It will hurt...... It hurts, it hurts. The pain will die. ”

"That'...... Will it hurt? Siyuan was stunned: "Is there any other way?" ”

"Providence, if it wants to, it will grow naturally. Even if you don't use the Vein Spring, if you don't want to, you are willing to turn into flower mud, but it will only be in vain. The ghost mother's voice fluttered: "So don't listen to what Dream Scale says, you just need to plant it and wait patiently." ”

"Okay, then I'll give it a try! Good luck to me. Siyuan let out a long breath and disappeared into the room with a whoosh.

"Why don't you tell the truth!" Dream Scale frowned and turned his head to look at the ghost mother: "Why do you lie to my lord like this." ”

"Do you mean to let my little brother sacrifice himself to protect his soul?" The ghost mother's eyes burned: "Who he is, you and I couldn't know better." Do you think he would have done such a sacrificial thing? ”

"Yes...... Well, forget it. Dream Scale sighed: "I just feel that the Lord is so pitiful, and he can't grow it at all." ”

"Not necessarily." The little mountain god shook his head: "I just grew it from being planted casually, hehe......"

"Four-legged snake, you laughing fart!" Dream Scale smacked her: "You're just lucky!" (To be continued......)
