The Luoshui River is surrounded by dense forests, and at night, the Luoshui River is pitch black, and only a round of Xuanyue in the sky shines through. The Zhou family is in the Cordyceps business, and the family background is quite solid, so they bought a large piece of land next to Luoshui and built such a house.

Probably the rich family is particularly interested, the house is very large, and the decoration inside is quite exquisite, that is, it is far away from the town, and you have to take a carriage when you go out.

Although the Zhou family is a family of merchants, since Master Zhou made money in business, he has been bent on letting his three sons cultivate immortals, but unfortunately only the youngest son has better qualifications among the three sons, and was sent to the Xuanyue Temple by Master Zhou.

The Zhou family house is built with natural stone, simple and elegant, and appropriately put some gold and jade, and the courtyard is arranged with a rockery, and the landscape of a small bridge and flowing water is created. If it weren't for the smell of blood and rancid smell in this room, this view would be chic.

It's a room of blood, not a room of blood.

This is the strangest thing about Bai Luo.

The small bridge in the courtyard is flowing water, the noise is crying at night, and the golden incense burner is still wafting wisps of green smoke. The figures in the house are longing, hanging on the beams like wind chimes. As soon as the wind blew, I saw black soap boots swaying in front of me, and it was the youngest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Lingheng, a disciple of the Xuanyue Temple, hanging on the beams of the house.

Yuan Yuzhu said: "Zhou Lingheng has not returned from the mountain for a long time, and the disciples in the hall felt strange and came to the Zhou family to look for it, only to find that something had happened to the Zhou family. ”

The Zhou family's house is by the Luoshui, far away from the downtown area, if they don't come on purpose, they are afraid that no one will be able to find the corpse hanging here if it dries.

There are a total of fifteen side rooms in the Zhou family's house, and two or three people are hanging in each room.

It seems that not only the people of the Zhou family, but even the servants of the Zhou family are hanging here.

Those who hung were bruised and had a fist-sized hole in their chests. The hole was empty, and the heart that was supposed to be in the chest cavity was gone.

The clothes around the hollow chest cavity were stained with blood, but the amount of blood was minimal. These hearts were dug out after these people hanged themselves!

Xue Yu frowned and said, "Take the heart after death? Even the spirit that eats the heart of a human only wants to eat the heart of a living person, right? How can a spirit who eats carrion be so picky?"

Jiang Qinghan stood beside Zhou Lingheng's corpse and looked at it carefully: "The holes in the chest cavity are too neat, not like they were torn by a spirit beast." ”

"Are you saying that someone used a spell to take the heart of this family?"

"Not necessarily. Jiang Qinghan frowned and said, "It may also be a special blade." ”

Jiang Qinghan took Zhou Lingheng's body off the beam and put it on a straw mat to investigate it carefully, and his heart suddenly became suspicious: "Yuzhu, how is Zhou Lingheng's spell?"

"Zhou Lingheng has only just started, so he is not particularly outstanding. ”

"Is it weak?"

"It's not weak, after all, it's also an introductory disciple of the Xuanyue Temple, and it's okay to deal with ordinary spirits. ”

"That's weird. Jiang Qinghan raised Zhou Lingheng's jaw.

There was a clear bruise mark on Zhou Lingheng's neck.

Jiang Qinghan wiped his thumb lightly on the bruised traces: "Look." The marks were very clean, the edges were very neat, and there were no scratches at all. “

Jiang Qinghan raised his wrist again: "And his wrists and forearms are not scarred at all." ”

Bai Luo frowned and said, "You mean, he really committed suicide?"

Jiang Qinghan nodded: "It's possible, at least he didn't have the ability to resist before he hanged himself." ”

Yuan Yuzhu frowned and said, "Although Zhou Lingheng's technique is not refined, it is not like this. ”

Xue Yu walked over to the other two corpses and took a look: "The same is true for these two corpses." ”

"The people of Zhoujiazhuang belong to Zhou Lingheng and can also use some spells. Zhou Lingheng couldn't resist, and the rest of the people wouldn't have the ability to resist. ”

Xie Jinyan muttered: "Who is so boring, such a big ability to dig the heart directly, why do you want to make people hang and dig the heart? Isn't it too troublesome?"

Bai Luo frowned, although Xie Jinyan was sometimes a little stupid, his intuition was still sharp.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise coming out of the window, as if someone had climbed out of the window.

Xie Jinyan was closest to the window and chased him out first.

I heard a sound in the grass, and the shrubs trembled and shook off the leaves. Xie Jinyan followed and plunged into the bushes.

"Ahh

The white blue pupils were slightly dark, and the golden light between the five fingers gathered.

I heard another "whoosh" cry from the bushes.

Bai Luo's face suddenly sank.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Xie Jinyan come out of the bushes, carrying a small yellow dog in his hand, and there were paw prints scratched by dogs around his neck.

The little yellow dog was not big, and was carried by Xie Jinyan on the back of his neck, and he was still biting a piece of meat in his mouth.

Bai Luo said coldly: "Second Prince Xie is so amazing!"

Xie Jinyan shook the little yellow dog with his hand: "This little animal has a lot of strength!"

"Master, that little yellow dog seems to have a heart in its mouth. ”

Sure enough, the little yellow dog was eating nothing else, but a heart. It's just that the heart is slightly white, and at first glance it looks like fresh pork on a cutting board.

"Ga !!" Xie Jinyan was taken aback, and almost threw the little yellow dog out, but fortunately, Xie Ergongzi still remembered that he represented the dignity of Biquan Villa in Shuzhong, and did not really throw it out: "Could it be that those people's hearts were dug up by this little animal?"

Bai Luo glanced at Xie Jinyan's hand, the little beast that was not at the height of her knees even if it stood up, and said coldly: "You ask him if he can dig out the hearts of those people." ”

Xie Jinyan looked at Bai Luo and then at the little yellow dog, as if he felt that Bai Luo's meaning could not be disobeyed, shook the little yellow dog and said, "The white girl asked you, did you hear it?" ”

Little Yellow Dog: "......"

Bai Luo rolled his eyes, and said a few more words to Xie Jinyan, estimating that his tens of thousands of years of life would not be enough.

Bai Luo asked Yuan Yuzhu and said, "Young Master Yuan, have you searched around Zhoujiazhuang well?"

"I searched, but apart from the dead people, I found nothing unusual, and I didn't find any hidden hearts. ”

Jiang Qinghan walked in front of Xie Jinyan, and took the heart from the mouth of the little yellow dog and looked at it. The heart had been bitten twice by the little yellow dog, and a layer of white rotten flesh floated on the surface of the heart.

Jiang Qinghan took the heart and put it under his nose and sniffed it.

Xie Jinyan was suffocated for a while, and he almost vomited.

Jiang Qinghan took the heart and turned around to show it to everyone: "It's also strange that Yuzhu didn't find the heart." This heart has been soaked in water for days. There was ice in the water, and this heart was not as rotten as the hanging corpses. There are also these white flocculents on it, which are left after eating small fish and shrimp. ”

Xie Jinyan took the little yellow dog and looked at it seriously: "This little animal is so powerful." Do you know how to dive?"

Little Yellow Dog: "......"

Xue Yu hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Let's go, since this heart can be washed ashore, let's go and see if there is anything else on the shore." ”

Everyone turned around and left, and Xie Jinyan hurriedly followed: "Eh, what about this little animal?"

"Carry it. Bai Luo said coldly.

"Carrying?"

"Let's stew dog meat later. ”

Xie Jinyan: "......"
