Chapter Seventy-Three: Chasing the Murderer

"Okay, a total of seven people will be killed by you, I don't have time to care about this now, and when the matter is over, people from the government will naturally come. And one last question, where does Starling live? ”

The village chief was stunned for a moment,

"He lives halfway up the mountain to the west."

Ye Yuyao snorted coldly, put away his sword, turned around and walked out of the village chief's house.

Ye Yuyao looked up at the moon, it was almost seven or eight o'clock in the evening, she walked around the village, everyone was closed, and led the horse to stop at the big locust tree in the village, and the dim moonlight shone on the locust tree, covering a strange color.

Ye Yuyao tied the horse to the stake and jumped onto the trunk of the tree herself, the thick trunk was just enough to accommodate a person sitting cross-legged.

She closed her eyes and slowly absorbed the aura around her, and a pair of eyes in the distance were staring at her.

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Yuyao opened her eyes, she was refreshed after a night of cultivation, her luck evaporated the dew on her body, and she took a few bites of the dry food in her hand with water.

Jumping off the big locust tree, she was going to see that Zhang Xiang today.

I asked a household, Zhang Xiang slept until three o'clock in the morning on weekdays, and he must be at home at this time.

Ye Yuyao knocked on the door, but no one responded inside, and when she pushed the door lightly, it was unlocked, and when she walked into the house, there were loud snoring sounds inside.

She kicked the door open, and two naked men and women were sleeping cuddled together, not even noticing that someone had come in.

Ye Yuyao found a chair and sat down, and slapped her palms gently, but the sound of thunder sounded in the ears of the two.

"Grass! Who sets off firecrackers early in the morning! It's noisy! ”

Zhang Xiang's face was full of anger, and he lifted the quilt and shouted,

Ye Yuyao looked at his face as a standard villain, she and the fortune teller in the prison village in addition to a wit, but also learned some simple physiognomy techniques, Zhang Xiang has a red spot under the left eyebrow, that is, the place where the young yin is, which is a "bad spot" in the eyes of the face, and his nose is very big, but it is with a hook, and there is a slight asymmetry on both sides of the cheekbones, coupled with the evil spots under the corners of his eyes, the obvious fierce appearance means that he is the kind of ruthless character who eats people and does not spit out bones, and there are white spots on both sides of his mouth, It also shows that he is not very good at that.

She peeked at his crotch in idle boredom, and sure enough, it looked like a dejected caterpillar.

Seeing the obvious sarcasm on Ye Yuyao's face, he also noticed that he was not dressed yet, and hurriedly covered it with a quilt.

"Who are you! Why in my house! ”

"Zhang Xiang, tell me how to contact this mountain god."

Zhang Xiang snorted coldly,

"You dream, the only one who can contact Lord Mountain God is me, today you trespass in, don't think about leaving anything behind."

He touched the talisman paper under the pillow, which was left for him by Lord Mountain God, and since the other party could enter his house without his knowledge, he at least had some ability.

"I wasn't ready to leave until you said it."

Zhang Xiang immediately took out the talisman and shouted,

"Possessed by the mountain god!"

A flash of white light flashed, and nothing happened, except that his hand was cut off to the ground.

The woman beside him couldn't help but scream when she saw such a bloody scene,

"Shh~."

Ye Yuyao popped out a little spiritual power and stunned the woman.

"Alright, let's talk about it now."

Zhang Xiang's wrist was bleeding nonstop, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he knelt on the ground trembling.

"Immortals spare their lives! Ah, the immortals! ”

"What the hell is this mountain god?"

"I don't know, every time he asks for something, he tells me in his dreams."

"Where do you put the offerings every time?"

"In the temple on the West Hill."

Didn't that starling live on the mountainside of Xishan, and he was really bold.

Since Ye Yuyao knew where this mountain god was, there was nothing to ask Zhang Xiang, so he clicked a few times on his wrist and stopped the bleeding and left him alone.

The west mountain on the edge of Shenjia Village is not high, looking up at the bottom of the mountain, the temple on the top of the mountain can be faintly seen, she walked up the path on the mountain, and the thin red lines tied all the way on both sides of the road looked quite strange.

The sun was shining at the bottom of the mountain, but when we reached the mountainside, a faint white mist had already begun to fill, and the temperature around it had dropped suddenly.

Hiss~ A small voice came from her head.

Ye Yuyao swung his sword and cut it into three, which turned out to be a blue-green bamboo leaf green.

As she continued to walk up, the mist had turned into a thick fog, and the red lines around her had turned black and red under the mist, and suddenly a simple wooden house appeared in front of me, and it was crawling with creepers.

"This is Zhang Starling's house."

Ye Yuyao walked over and knocked on the door, but no one responded.

Pulling out Bai Hong's sword, he cut the door lock, and pushed the door open, and a pungent damp smell came to him.

"Ahem."

She waved her arms twice, and the smell of the room was choking.

The furnishings of the room were simple, a bed, half bookshelves and half strange iron and wooden instruments, a laboratory-like place, and yellow rune paper hung on all sides of the room, and the symbols on it were all drawn in red ink.

On the wooden table, there was a porcelain plate with some black-red blood and green slag-like objects in it, and I almost didn't vomit my stomach when I sniffed it.

A thick stench and rotten smell came to his face, Ye Yuyao retched twice, and hurriedly stayed away.

She took out a few books from the bookshelf next to her, and there were only some poems and allusions on them.

The rest is incomprehensible, and most of the notes have some inexplicable symbols on them, which should be his research notes.

Ye Yuyao didn't find any clues and hurriedly left the house, the smell inside was really unbearable.

I took a hard breath of the cool mountain air and relieved the feeling of nausea.

Ye Yuyao then climbed up the mountain, and she suddenly found a question, the top of the mountain here is mostly four or five hundred meters, why is the fog so thick, a gust of wind blows around, and the bells hanging on the red ropes on both sides of the mountain road ring.

She sensed that something was wrong, and immediately held up a golden spiritual shield.

The temple looms in the mist not far away, with many bull heads and sheep heads hanging at the gate, a thick layer of white rice on the ground, and the red rope around it that is the thickness of a finger, and many pendants made of copper coins in the courtyard of the temple.

The mist here soaked all of Ye Yuyao's clothes, sticking to her body.

Ye Yuyao walked into the temple curiously, touched the copper coin on it, sniffed it gently, and suddenly became nervous.

She immediately rushed to the door of the temple, grabbed the rice on the ground and rubbed it, and then took a closer look at the red line with the thickness of her thumb, Ye Yuyao observed the surroundings, there was a big tree four or five meters high, she jumped on the branch, overlooking the temple below, and the wall actually wrapped the temple in the shape of a gossip.

"Copper coins, glutinous rice, ink bucket lines, gossip arrays, this is a place to raise corpses!"

Although she doesn't understand feng shui, she still knows these things to restrain zombies, since she has used so many ink fountain threads, glutinous rice and copper coins, then this so-called "mountain god" must be a zombie.

As for why it was a corpse breeding ground instead of a corpse suppression ground, it was because she saw a few black footprints on the ground, if it was a place to suppress zombies, the formation here would not be broken, and the zombies would definitely not be able to come out, not like this.

These things that restrain zombies are at most used to suppress his range of movement.

Ye Yuyao's eyes gradually turned golden, her eyes saw the sun in the sky through the thick mist, it was already noon at this time, this zombie was unlikely to come out to move, Ye Yuyao took the dry food and water from the horse, and let it go.

It was useless to keep the horse, it was so frightened that its legs cramped, and it ran with small broken steps to escape, and this kind of ghost local animal is often much more sensitive than humans.

In her impression, the zombies are infinitely powerful, extremely hard and have a pair of highly poisonous hands, but these are not problems, no matter how powerful they are, can they have the cold moon golden flame without burning the murder?

She pulled Bai Hong out of her scabbard and stepped into the temple alone.

The lights in the temple are bright, a large number of candles are reflected in the temple, and the temple is enshrined in a Buddha statue, which is not so much a Buddha as a ghost Buddha, and the face is not as peaceful and quiet as an ordinary Buddha statue.

The temple is often cleaned, and there is not a single wisp of dust, and there are a few sticks of incense inserted in the incense burner, which burns very slowly and almost half a day.

Ye Yuyao walked around inside, and didn't find anything abnormal, but saw that a lot of tributes on the offering table had been eaten, and judging from the tooth marks, they were eaten by monkeys and birds.

Ye Yuyao walked around and didn't find any mechanism, and ran to the door and knocked on the floor tiles one by one, and there was nothing unusual.

It wasn't until she re-arrived and stood in the center of the temple that Ye Yuyao suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the ghost Buddha's gaze, it stands to reason that her head should be facing her, but now it has shifted a little to the right.

She jumped on the Buddha statue, held the Buddha's head with both hands, and twisted it to the left, and there was a sound behind the Buddha statue, and a secret door appeared.

A fishy wind came to her face, Ye Yuyao hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, took out a fire fold from her waist, and walked down with a little firelight, walking fifty or sixty steps with a face on her face, and came to a basement.

She was shocked by the sight of bloodied bones on the ground, some of the corpses had been eaten and mutilated, and there were two disemboweled female corpses hanging on the walls, and the internal organs were gone.

As soon as Ye Yuyao took it, the smell of blood and rancid smell made her almost faint, and she took out two portraits and compared them with the female corpse on the wall, which was not the same.

I don't know how long these bones on the ground have been piled up, Ye Yuyao counted a total of eight, the youngest is only seven years old in terms of bone age, and the oldest is only nineteen years old, all of them are gnawed and can't see the human form, only the two corpses on the wall were cut by sharp knives, indicating that the two girls were killed, but who they are still unknown.
