Chapter 161: Nothing
In the subsequent banquet, Che Bifan, Zhang Tianduo and Qi Ying discussed some details, but only Han Jinyun kept staring at Qi Qingqing without saying a word.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Qi Ying summoned the villagers, and Qi Qingqing spoke and began to persuade the villagers to leave Qijia Village.
As Qi Qingqing expected, the villagers of Qijia Village did not say a word when they heard that the strange illness had not been cured, and they agreed to leave Qijia Village for a while, and then come back when the situation improved.
Seeing that the matter had settled, Qi Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and started the next step, first of all, he selected twenty good hands from the villagers, divided them into two groups, and assigned them to Zhang Tianduo and Han Jinyun, who were responsible for searching for the body of the old patriarch. Then fifty villagers were selected and asked to follow Che Bifan up the mountain to deal with the centipede hole.
The rest of the people are responsible for boiling water and cooking for the busy people.
The words are divided into two ends, and it is said that Zhang Tianduo and Han Jinyun are here, according to the habits of the corpse evil, the old patriarch's hiding place must not exceed ten miles away, and most of them are hidden in dark and damp places, so the first thing the two of them have to do is to search for caves or rock crevices and other places on various hills near Qijia Village.
There are a total of six mountains within ten miles of Qijia Village, with the Dragon Biting Mountain as the most, and the remaining five are small hills, it is not easy to investigate within four days, but fortunately, these twenty villagers are very familiar with the nearby six mountains, and all of them are strong and strong, and their skills are extraordinary, with their assistance, Zhang Tianduo and Han Jinyun only took one day, and searched all the dark and damp places of the six mountains, but unfortunately the result was very disappointing, and the old patriarch was still nowhere to be found.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the two had no choice but to lead people back, just when they walked halfway up the mountain, a fire dragon suddenly appeared on the mountainside of the dragon's bite mountain, everyone was shocked, and when they took a closer look, they were relieved, it turned out that the ravine had burst into a monstrous flame, which looked like a fire dragon.
Han Jinyun said to Zhang Tianduo: "It seems that the senior Che used fire to attack. ”
Zhang Tianduo looked at the rolling fire dragon and asked, "Can the fire attack destroy the centipede hole?" ”
Han Jinyun said: "It depends on how big the fire is, if the fire is fierce, it is not impossible to completely destroy the centipede den." ”
He added: "You can feel the ferocity of the fire from our side, I think it should be enough to destroy the centipede den." ”
"I hope so."
Han Jinyun thought for a while and said: "Now that the situation is urgent, I have to take one step at a time, and if there is a chance in the future, I have to mobilize the villagers to fill in the ravine to prevent future troubles." ”
Zhang Tianduo sighed: "It's a pity that the righteous path is now also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself." ”
Han Jinyun understood what Zhang Tianduo meant, and said, "As long as we can seal the evil again, I believe that the world will soon be able to restore the previous order." ”
Zhang Tianduo is not as optimistic as Han Jinyun, since he has seen the ability of evil, he always feels that evil is not as simple as the king of corpse evil, think about it, how can a king of corpse evil know so many magical and powerful exercises? It has also inspired many of the exercises of the Righteous Path sect, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the Enlightenment Patriarch of the Righteous Path Exercises.
"Let's go, it's going to get dark." Han Jinyun waved his hand to signal the villagers to follow, and took the lead to walk down the mountain.
Zhang Tianduo was stunned for a while, and then waved his hand and followed with his own people.
When he returned to Qijia Village, Che Bifan and the fifty villagers had been back for a long time, and when they saw the two of them, Che Bifan and Qi Ying hurriedly greeted them, and Qi Ying asked, "How is it?" Can you find the whereabouts of the old patriarch? ”
The two looked at each other, shook their heads, and said, "I searched all the dark and damp places, but found nothing. ”
Che Bifan frowned and said, "How is this possible?" Could you have missed something? ”
Han Jinyun said: "I think so too, after all, the six mountains are not small together, there may be one or two caves or rock crevices that have not been discovered, we will look carefully tomorrow, I hope to find something." ”
Che Bifan thought for a while and said, "In this way, tomorrow I will take fifty people to search the mountain with you, and we will expand the range." ”
"Okay."
Although Qijia Village is a closed village, the women in the village have good cooking skills, and after a busy day, everyone sits on the village street and enjoys the delicious food served by the women, while eating, while discussing what to bring with them when leaving.
Zhang Tianduo and the three of them followed the customs, and sat at the head of the dragon with Qi Ying's father and daughter, eating while discussing the next move.
"Senior Che, what method did you use? Why did this fire burn for two hours and not weaken in the slightest? Zhang Tianduo glanced back at the fire dragon at the end of the night and asked.
Che Bifan said: "It took me and the villagers a day to fill the entire ravine with firewood, and even the towering trees within 50 meters of the ravine were piled with firewood, and then poured sesame oil on it and lit it, according to my estimate, the fire had to burn for at least three days and three nights." ”
"Will the fire spread?" Qi Qingqing blinked and asked carefully.
Che Bifan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we have already taken precautions, and the fire source is also hundreds of meters away from the nearest woods, and it will not spread." ”
Qi Ying has been worried since he heard that Zhang Tianduo and the two couldn't find the old patriarch, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, took out the dry tobacco and lit it, took a sip, and then said in a deep voice: "I'm most worried about the old patriarch, if it's really as you say, the old patriarch will find his relatives and kill him after he becomes a corpse demon, then what's the use of us even if we flee here?" ”
This question is also a question that Che Bifan and the three of them have been avoiding answering, in fact, it is only an expedient measure to let the villagers move out of Qijia Village, as long as the old patriarch is connected to his relatives, then no matter where the people of Qijia Village flee, the old patriarch can find them.
"Uncle Ying, the situation may not be as bad as you think, as long as we find ......"
Qi Ying waved his hand to interrupt Che Bifan's words, and sighed: "Dao Chief, there is no need to say much, my Qi family boy will not give up lightly until the last moment, but ......" He pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "If you really want to force us into a hurry, we have no choice but to fight with the corpse evil, I don't believe that a corpse evil can fight hundreds of people in my Qi family!" ”
The faces of the three of them changed when they heard this, and Han Jinyun said: "Uncle Ying, if the old patriarch just turns into an ordinary corpse, it will be fine, but the old patriarch is very likely to become a zombie now, and it is definitely not something that hundreds of people can deal with, don't do stupid things......"
Qi Ying said with a smile: "The vicinity of this Qijia Village was originally full of bandits who occupied the mountain as the king, and they were once troubled, but my Qijia Village has never been afraid of them, after decades of fighting, although my Qijia Village has countless casualties, but also those bandits are afraid to run away, do you understand what I mean?" ”
Che Bifan thought for a while and said, "Uncle Ying, the corpse evil is not a bandit. ”
"Hahaha, it's all things that hurt people's lives, what's the difference?"
The three of them were speechless, listening to Qi Ying's meaning, he seemed to plan to sacrifice his life with the old patriarch when he was cornered, but the three of them understood that no matter how strong the people of Qijia Village were, they couldn't fight the old patriarch who had become a powerful corpse evil.
Because of Qi Ying's words, the three of them tossed and turned that night, and early the next morning, the three of them took 70 villagers up the mountain.
With fifty more helpers, the search became more careful and faster, and Che Bifan even expanded the range to fifteen miles away, but after a day, he still found nothing.
Returning to the village with a disappointed mood, Qi Yingyi, who had been waiting for a day, saw everyone's faces, just shook his head and sighed, but didn't ask anything.
That night, Zhang Tianduo and the three sat in the room, discussing their next move.
Che Bifan spoke first: "Tomorrow is the last day, judging from the current situation, I estimate that it is unlikely to find the old patriarch, you say, should we stay and continue to search for the whereabouts of the old patriarch, or is it important to do business?" ”
Zhang Tianduo asked rhetorically: "Senior Che, what do you mean?" ”
Che Bifan was silent for a while, and said, "If we can't find the old patriarch tomorrow, we will have to leave here, don't forget the purpose of our trip." ”
Although Han Jinyun was worried about Qi Qingqing's safety, he also knew that the overall situation was important, and he said helplessly: "I only hate that I am not good at learning, if I know how to chase corpses and interrogate them, I will not have no clue about the whereabouts of the old patriarch." ”
The technique of chasing corpses and interrogating is somewhat similar to the Fuping tracking method, the difference is that the former is tracking the corpse evil, and the latter is tracking the living, but the technique of chasing the corpse and interrogating is more difficult.
Zhang Tianduo said: "Don't we have another day?" Is it too early to discuss this? ”
"Nope." Che Bifan slowly shook his head and sighed: "Haven't you found out yet?" A powerful corpse evil like the old patriarch, even if it doesn't completely become a powerful corpse evil, it stands to reason that the corpse qi will leak out and affect one side, but there is nothing unusual within fifteen miles around here, don't you think there is something strange in this? ”
Suddenly, Han Jinyun slapped the table and said, "Why didn't I notice this?" If so, the old patriarch ......"
Speaking of this, he and Zhang Tianduo glanced at each other, and the two said in unison: "Not near Qijia Village!" ”
After saying the same answer, both of them looked solemn, you know, under the habit of corpse evil, it is generally not far away from the target ten miles away, once it exceeds this range, then there is only one possibility, someone will take the corpse evil away.
After being silent for a long time, Che Bifan finally broke the silence and said, "You say, what is the origin of that feng shui gentleman?" Why did he cultivate such a powerful corpse evil? ”
Han Jinyun said: "No matter what the origin of that feng shui master is and what his purpose is, he has made such a powerful corpse evil at this time, which always makes people feel that it is too much of a coincidence." ”
