Bringing Lao Su back to the post station, Xiao Mingyue planned to ask some useful clues from him.

It can be seen that he is crazy and delirious, and he is worried that his mouth is full of crazy words. He asked the imperial doctor to give him a pulse, and asked Liu Changan to boil some Chinese medicine for him.

After making sure that he was not infected with red sores, everyone asked Xiao Mingyue to approach.

"County Lord, I'm afraid this old man has lost his mind and gone crazy! Can you believe his words? The boy asked.

Looking at the old man in front of him who was smirking while eating roast chicken, Xiao Mingyue always felt that he knew something.

"He's the only one left in their fishing village, what should he remember!" Xiao Mingyue said.

After a while, the leading officers and soldiers came to report: "This person is from the fishing village, an old beggar, and has no family, so no one pays attention to him at all!"

"No wonder." After finishing speaking, Xiao Mingyue looked at Lao Su again and asked, "Uncle, do you know how the people in the fishing village are infected with the epidemic?" How did that red sore on their body come from?!"

Seeing that Lao Suo was still gnawing on the chicken leg by himself, Xiao Mingyue pretended to be scared again: "Uncle, you tell me the truth, I'll ask someone to make you a roast chicken in a while, okay?" Otherwise, you won't have it after you finish eating, and then I'll send you back to the fishing village, and no one will care about you!"

When Lao Suo heard this, his expression became a little flustered, and he hurriedly stomped his feet and said, "I won't go back...... Not going back...... There's something terrible on that mountain...... Mountain Ghost ...... Mountain ghost, she's going to eat me!"

"Mountain ghosts?!" Xiao Mingyue asked suspiciously.

'yes!' What the hell is a mountain ghost?!" The childish Ru couldn't help asking.

"This old man has already mentioned mountain ghosts twice in a row! Could it be that this red sore is related to the 'mountain ghost'? Liu Changan said.

"Could it be that there are really ghosts!" Amber muttered.

"You go and ask, see if there is any other life in the fishing village where the first disease occurs, except for this old man!" Xiao Mingyue turned to the leader and said.

"Lord Qiyu, the corpses that were dissected yesterday were the last people to die in the fishing village, and other than that, they are gone!" The leader replied.

"This means that it is very likely that the epidemic broke out from the first fishing village! That first fishing village is the source of infection!" Amber hurriedly said loudly.

Seeing that no one else had a sudden realization of her inference, Amber stepped back a little embarrassed.

Whispered to Yunzhu: "Isn't what I said wrong?!"

Yunzhu said: "Of course you are right, but this has long been obvious! The county lord has thought of it a long time ago!"

"Tell me where the mountain ghosts are? I'll give you more delicious food, and I won't let you go back to the fishing village!" Xiao Mingyue said to Lao Suo while holding a plate of pastries in front of him.

"Delicious...... Give me! Give me! I tell you quietly, the mountain ghost lives on the mountain, and if she is unfortunate enough to go to the mountain, she will not die well! She raised spiders the size of a wooden basin, specializing in capturing people's souls and absorbing people's essence, and those people were disobedient and were all caught by mountain ghosts!" The old man said in a trembling voice, as if he had really seen a ghost.

After saying that, he got under the table in fear and couldn't come out.

"Bishan? Where is it?!" Xiao Mingyue asked the leading officers and soldiers.

"Back to the county lord, it is in the southwest of the fishing village where we went, but there are often wild beasts in the mountains, and it is said that it is rumored to be indeed haunted, so no one dares to go there when there is a chance!" The leading officer and soldier replied.

"This old man just said 'spider', could it be the source of this red sore?!" Xiao Mingyue said to a few people.

"Very likely, yesterday's autopsy, I found something red and slimy in the deceased's remaining lungs, I thought it was blood at the time, but now that I think about it, maybe it was spider blood!" Liu Changan said.

"How can you be sure it's spider blood?" Xiao Mingyue asked.

"Ordinary human blood turns jet black after the corpse decomposes, and that handful of blood ...... But it's bright red! I suspect it's ......"

"Poisoned!" Before Liu Chang'an finished speaking, Zhiru continued.

"You mean the magic of witchcraft?!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"What is witchcraft?!" The leading officer and soldier asked puzzled.

"The art of witchcraft originated in ancient times, divided into white witchcraft and black witchcraft, white witchcraft is to save people, while black witchcraft is to harm people, they mainly use curses, overpower, and poison to harm people. In the Han Dynasty, Empress Chen was deposed because of the use of witchcraft to harm people, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had explicitly forbidden it, as well as the ...... of the previous dynasty In short, most of them are for their enemies and against their enemies!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"But is it just to harm a group of fishermen?!" Amber muttered.

Xiao Mingyue, Zhiru, and Liu Changan looked at each other, and they also guessed eight or nine points.

"Hurry up and take someone to Bishan, you may be able to find clues now! Also, go find the white witch doctor around here," Xiao Mingyue said to the leading officers and soldiers.

"Yes! The villain is going to call someone!"

"Let's go too, both of us are proficient in medicine, and although we don't know much about witchcraft, we might be able to help!" Liu Changan said.

"Miss, shall we go too? Could there really be mountain ghosts and big spiders? Amber asked, worried.

"Mountain ghosts are just enemies pretending to scare people, don't be afraid. But as for whether there will be scary spiders, I don't know, if you two are scared, just stay here!"

"I'm not afraid! I'm going to be with the county lord!" Yunzhu said.

"I ...... I'm not afraid! I'll go wherever Miss goes!" Amber also said.

Later, Xiao Mingyue and the others prepared some white millet rice, more than a dozen big roosters, and amber got the peachwood sword from somewhere.

Zhu Yushi was worried that Xiao Mingyue and they would be in danger, so he also followed him to Bishan.

A group of people followed the old beggar's instructions to the mountain, which is a beautiful place, with centuries-old pine and cypress trees abounding. There are also some rare medicinal herbs. But the only thing that was wrong was that there were hardly any small animals to be seen, not even birds.

"I always feel wrong, will it be ......," Amber muttered.

"Say no more! Don't scare yourself," Yunzhu said with disgust.

And this mountain is not big, but it is not small, but it is the intersection of Chen Guo, Dangxiang, Jiaozhi, and Funan, that is to say, a mountain is owned by four countries.

After walking about a thousand steps, the leading sergeant said, "Lord of the county, my lord." If you go any further, you will reach the borders of other countries! Beware of ambushes!"

"As the old beggar said, keep going!" Liu Changan said.

"Keep going! There are many of us, don't be afraid!" Xiao Mingyue said.

Although Zhu Yushi was a little worried, he wanted to investigate the truth of the epidemic more than anyone else, so he had no choice but to agree with Xiao Mingyue's words and ask people to continue to follow up.

After walking for more than 100 steps, I saw a deserted wooden house in front of me.

Several officers and soldiers took a closer look and saw that there was still a fire outside the house that had not been extinguished for a short time. Then he slowly pushed the door open and entered the house.

Then he said to everyone: "Lord of the county, my lord, there is nothing in this house, it is all some cobwebs!" And some dead spiders!"

So Xiao Mingyue and Zhu Yushi called the white witch who came with him to check in the house.

Everyone entered the house and found that it was indeed a house that had not been inhabited for a long time, and the room was full of dust, but a tea bowl on the table attracted Xiao Mingyue's attention.

"Miss, what are you looking at?" Amber asked.

"Look at this tea bowl, it's obvious that someone often uses this to drink tea." Xiao Mingyue pointed to a clean part of the tea bowl and said to Amber.

"And this bed, although it is dirty and messy, but if you look closely, someone should have lived there!" Zhiru squatted on the side of the bed and looked carefully.

"The floor under this window should be caused by people often sitting and sleeping, and the marks are obvious!" Liu Changan also said.

"So, there were people living here not long ago, and they just left in a hurry.!" Xiao Mingyue said to everyone.

"And what's the deal with these dead spiders and cobwebs? Even if it is a house in disrepair, there will not be so many cobwebs and dead spiders all over the ground!" Zhu Yushi wondered.

"This is supposed to be where the dark witch practices are harmful!" A white witch said.

"Is there really black magic?!" Zhu Yushi sighed.

"These dead spiders are the price of failure, and the real ones have been taken to harm people. I think the fishermen in that fishing village should be the test subjects!" White Witch said.

"But so many fishermen, how did they get into the Gu! The well water and food were clean!" Childish said.

"It should be from the first person who went to the mountains to hunt, when we went up the mountain, almost no hare was seen, I think the black wizard should have set a Gu on the animals on the mountain, attracting more and more people to hunt in the mountains, and those who hunt will be bitten by poisonous spiders, and the Gu poison will be passed on to ten, ten to hundreds, and it will be out of control!" Xiao Mingyue analyzed.

When the white wizard heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said with an approving look at Xiao Mingyue: "What the county lord said is not far from ten!"

Everyone was horrified!

"In this way, the black witch must have been instructed by someone to kill the people of my Chen Kingdom! How can this be reasonable, this official must thoroughly investigate this matter!" Zhu Yushi said indignantly.

"So how do you stop the fishermen from continuing to get sick? Is there any way?!" Xiao Mingyue asked.

The white wizard nodded and said, "Yes, yes, but it may require human life!"

"Need for human life?!" The crowd asked in amazement.

"That's right, you need the blood of a girl with a pure yang personality to feed the leeches, and finally suck out the poison in the patient's body! Hey, it's a life for a life, I advise you to give up! Whose life is not fate! The White Wizard said.
