Xiangshi Village
Mu Bai raised his eyes and saw that there were no lights in the entire Xiangshi Village, and the village was silent. Mu Bai's heart couldn't help sinking, there was no light in a single house at night, and all of them were killed by demons.
Mu Bai clenched the sword in his hand and said to Cao Tieyi, "Let's enter the village." ”
The two walked into the village, only to see that all the houses in the village were crawling with tree roots, Mu Bai used his sword to split the roots, opened the door of a house, and saw that there were still chickens and sheep in the yard. Mu Bai checked the feed trough and found that the trough was empty.
Mu Bai secretly thought that the chickens and sheep were still alive, indicating that the owner of the yard had not left for a long time. Mu Bai opened the door of the kitchen and room again, and found that the mess inside had spilled all over the floor.
When Mu Bai was about to go out, he found that the roots of the trees had re-climbed the door, and Mu Bai split a hole and broke out of the house, but those roots did not attack Mu Bai.
Mu Bai secretly wondered, the roots here don't seem to be aggressive, could it be that the roots here and the roots in the misty forest are together, and they were injured by my sword qi.
Mu Bai continued to walk towards Xiangshi Village, and found a house without tree roots, Mu Bai ran to the courtyard and found that there were many banquets in the courtyard, but at this time, wine bottles and chopsticks were lying on the ground, in a mess.
There is still red silk hanging in the courtyard, and the windows in the courtyard are still hung with decals with the word Xixi, which seems to be a wedding scene.
Mu Bai crossed the courtyard covered with red silk and came to the back room. It appears to be a hunter's house, with various animal trapping tools and chains in the house.
Mu Bai found a gift book in the house, the cover of which read Centennial Harmony, and the names of the bride and groom were written in big red letters behind the cover. Cao Tieyi said in surprise: "This is Lin Kun's home!" Mu Bai nodded and said: "In the entire Xiangshi Village, only here is not entangled by tree roots, it seems that the affairs of Xiangshi Village must have something to do with Lin Kun." ”
Cao Tieyi touched his head and asked, "But hasn't Lin Kun become a monster, and now he is delirious, I'm afraid he can't tell us any news." ”
Mu Bai shook his head and said, "There is another person, that is, Lin Kun's marriage partner, Lin Cui's family." Zhang Xiaowu said that Lin Cui's is not only beautiful but also literate, maybe she is the daughter of a big family, but how can the daughter of a big family fall in love with Lin Kun, Lin Kun is still a disability, maybe there is something hidden in this. ”
Cao Tieyi asked, "Where can we go to find Lin Cui's?"
Mu Bai said: "Go find the ancestral hall in the village and find the family tree." Maybe there is a clue to the genealogy. ”
Cao Tieyi nodded and said, "It makes sense, if you find the Cui family ancestral hall, you may be able to find clues." ”
After Mu Bai and Cao Tieyi walked out of the house, Mu Bai said: "It's not early, let's go separately to find the ancestral hall, and pay attention to the house of the merchant in Xiangshi Village, the whole Xiangshi Town has escaped from him, and he may be able to find some clues in his house." Cao Tieyi nodded and left in the opposite direction of Mu Bai.
After Mu Bai rummaged through the ancestral hall genealogy of Xiangshi Village, he found that the entire Xiangshi Village was divided into three surnames: Lin, Yang, and Ke. The people in the village are mainly based on these three surnames, and there are very few people with other surnames, and the surname Cui has not been found in the entire Xiangshi Village.
Mu Bai rubbed his head and muttered, "Could it be that this Cui girl is a girl from an outside village, and her family tree is not in Xiangshi Village." But according to the situation at the scene, it seems that the incident happened at the wedding scene, according to the information of Fu Dacang, there are no missing people in other villages, and judging from the scale of the wedding scene, this is a small-scale wedding banquet, and it is impossible to not even have a relative of the woman. ”
At this moment, Mu Bai appeared in front of him a second house that was not entangled by tree roots, Mu Bai went in and found that the house was full of miscellaneous goods, which should be the merchant's house in Xiangshi Village, when Mu Bai rummaged in the house for the merchant's goods, the ground suddenly collapsed, Mu Bai was wrapped in the foundation wood and stone into a cave, Mu Bai patted the soil on his body, and opened a way from the broken wood and stone.
In front of him was a cave entrance, with a faint light in front of him, and after Mu Bai walked along the narrow hole for dozens of steps, he suddenly became enlightened.
Mu Bai was stunned and looked at a huge blood-red tree in the cave, the branches of the trees were full of people with painful faces, everyone's chest was pierced by branches, and under the giant tree was a pool of blood, and something was faintly swimming under the blood pool.
Mu Bai looked at the dense people hanging on the branches with a blue face, one of the branches was hung with Cao Tieyi, at this time Cao Tieyi's face was pale, the armor on his body was tattered, and his hands struggled violently. Mu Bai hurriedly flew up and jumped on top of the branch of the giant tree, and cut off the branch that penetrated Cao Tieyi with a sword, saving Cao Tieyi.
Cao Tieyi looked at Mu Bai, who had saved him, and said, "Mr. Mu 、、、 Mu 、、、 run!" As soon as the words fell, the blood-red giant tree let out a scream, and the branches rushed towards Mu Bai, but they were cut off by Mu Bai's sword.
The blood-red giant tree was enraged, and let out a rapid scream, and the pool of blood shook, and then the people hanging on the branches let out a scream, their limbs twisted abnormally, and the bark crawled all over their bodies.
After a wail, the people on the branches turned into tree people and pounced on Mu Bai. Mu Bai saw the tree man rushing over, pulling Cao Tieyi and fighting and retreating. A steady stream of treemen rushed towards Mu Bai, and Mu Bai's surroundings were full of treemen, and he was about to be overwhelmed by them.
Just when Mu Bai was trying his best to deal with the tree man, a tree root suddenly emerged from the ground, and Mu Bai was unprepared. Mu Bai reluctantly cut off the roots of the tree and shouted towards the huge blood tree, "Miss Cui!"
In an instant, the tree man stopped attacking, a branch stretched out to Mu Bai and slowly dragged it towards the giant tree, Cao Tieyi picked up the knife and was about to cut off the branch, Mu Bai hurriedly shook his head at him, and let the branch wrap it and slowly send it to the giant tree.
A bewitching girl with a graceful figure slowly emerged from the blood-red giant tree, and the girl gently raised Mu Bai's chin and said, "Who are you?" Mu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It was Zhang Shanglang from the village who told me, and he also asked me to tell Miss Cui to put down the butcher knife and turn back." ”
The branches of the tree suddenly strangled Mu Bai tightly, almost breaking Mu Baile's shelf. The girl turned red and said with hatred, "Put down the butcher's knife?!" When I was abducted, I managed to escape, but the people in the village not only saved me, but also united to arrest me. In order to prevent me from escaping, Lin Kun's beast actually chained me to an iron cage and made me live like a dog. Only Zhang Xianglang secretly opened the chain and cage and I went out, but he didn't want the whole village to be Lin Kun's accomplice, I was grabbed by the hair and pulled me back, Lin Kun broke my leg in order to prevent me from running again. You persuaded me to put down the butcher's knife, did they put down the butcher's knife in the first place?!"
Mu Bai said with a pale face: "The people in Xiangshi Village have basically been caught by you, and your revenge has been avenged, so why bother to kill again." ”
The girl smiled hideously, "It's not enough! I want everyone to experience this pain!"
Mu Bai asked, "Then why did you let Zhang Shanglang go?"
The girl was slightly stunned and muttered to herself: "Zhang Shanglang, Zhang Shanglang, Zhang Shanglang!" The blood in her eyes gradually faded, and the branches that tightly held Mu Bai gradually loosened.
The pool of blood under the giant tree boiled for a while, and the girl's eyes turned red again, and she said viciously: "I accidentally let him go, I will catch him again and kill him with my own hands!"
"No! I can't! he saved my life!" the girl's eyes faded red, and she retorted anxiously.
Mu Bai looked at the girl talking to herself in front of him, and said: "Zhang Shanglang is crazy, he didn't expect that the people he saved with good thoughts would become so indiscriminately killing innocents, even if most people are guilty, but what about those children." After Zhang Shanglang went crazy, he said that he still wanted to save her, save her, and you still want to save you. ”
The red tide in the girl's eyes completely faded, and a cry came from under the blood pool, "You want to hate, you want to hate!", and the whole giant tree was dancing wildly. As the giant tree danced, the red tide in the girl's eyes staggered, and the girl covered her head and said desperately: "Hurry up! Kill me quickly! She's coming! Stab me in the chest! There's no time!"
