Chapter 190: Visiting the Widow at Night... Yuanwu Village
There is a village and town at the foot of Yujing Mountain, and the name of the village is Yuanwu Village.
Nominally a village, but in reality it is larger than a small town.
A river runs north and south from the middle of Yuanwu Village, dividing the village into two halves, east and west, and connecting them with bridges, so that the east and west of the river are independent and integrated.
The aborigines of the entire village have a unified surname - Wu.
But this village, where all the villagers are surnamed Wu, is called Yuanwu Village, and it has been used for thousands of years and has never changed.
The villagers in Yuanwu Village are very united, friendly and mutually helpful, although the east and west of the village are divided by a long river, the two sides are still like a family.
Even the election of the village chief follows a rule that has been used for an unknown number of years - if the previous village chief is from Hedong, the next village chief will definitely be elected in Hexi, and the maximum time for each village chief is 30 years.
Even because of this, there is a very classic saying in Yuanwu Village - thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi.
The only thing that made Zhou Yi a little regretful was that no one added a sentence to the back, don't bully the young man to be poor.
Of course, that's not the point.
These things were also introduced to Miss Su when she took Zhou Yi down the mountain for the first time.
The point is... Miss Su also said it at the beginning.
A long, long time ago, there was a second surname in Yuanwu Village.
The entire Yuanwu Village is composed of two clans, the Yuan clan and the Wu clan.
One lives in the east of the river and the other lives in the west of the river, forming a village, watching and helping each other, united and loving.
The two clans have lived like this for an unknown number of years, and one day... It seems that overnight, the entire Yuan clan disappeared from the village so abruptly, and there was no one surnamed Yuan left in the village, and only the only surname Wu was left in the entire Yuanwu Village.
In this regard, many people in the know have had a lot of speculation.
Some people say that the two clans are at odds with each other, constantly rubbing against each other in daily life, and constantly accumulating grievances, to the point of being on the same footing.
Finally, on a dark and windy night, the Wu clan of Yuanwu Village chose to attack the Yuan clan.
As a result, there was no longer a single living mouth left in the entire Yuan clan, and the old people, children, men and women, all of them were wiped out.
It is also said that the Yuan clan in Yuanwu Village found a better place to live and gained great opportunities.
concealed the feelings of the Wu clan and did not let them, secretly plotted secretly, and quietly evacuated from Yuanwu Village on a dark and windy night.
Alone seized the opportunity, the Ju clan moved to another territory.
Some people even say that it was the Wu clan who discovered some chances, and as a result, they were known by the Yuan clan.
For this reason, the Yuan clan planned for a long time, and finally chose to attack the Wu clan on a dark and windy night.
As a result, the Wu clan had already taken precautions and killed the Yuan clan, resulting in only the Wu clan being left in a huge village, and the Yuan clan was completely removed.
Each of these things has its own opinions, and no one can convince anyone, and no one can give a real and concrete answer.
Even, in the early years, there were people who were interested in this matter, and they listened to and probed it openly or covertly.
It's just that those people either disappeared inexplicably, or for various unknown reasons, they gave up the idea of curiosity and stopped investigating.
It's just that... Either way, no matter whether or not there is an investigation.
From all kinds of rumors, Zhou Yi found a very interesting thing.
Or a very key word - the night is dark and the wind is high.
No matter which version, which speculation, there is such a narrative.
It seems that every speculation can be sure that the disappearance of the Yuan clan was on a night when the wind was dark and the wind was high, and the stars and moon were not visible.
The moon is dark and kills the night, when the wind is high and the fire is set on fire.
Based on this conventional cognition, Zhou Yi felt that if it was just someone's guess, the word "night dark and wind high" did not seem to be worth paying attention to.
But so many versions of the legend, so many versions of the story, there is such a word in each story.
In each version of the story, the Yuan clan disappeared on a dark and windy night.
In this, it seems that there is always something worth intriguing.
After listening to Miss Su's words, Zhou Yi secretly raised his concern about this matter.
Next, Zhou Yi lived a peaceful life in Yujing Mountain for a few days.
And in Yuanwu Village under the mountain, there was no chaos.
There was no revenge as they had guessed.
After taking the time to wander around twice and didn't find any problems, Zhou Yi gradually put this matter down and didn't deliberately pay too much attention to it.
Until...
Five days later.
It was a gloomy day, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and heavy rain seemed to be on the horizon at any moment.
After eating the meal carefully prepared by Wu's mother after a long absence, Zhou Yi returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed to observe his cultivation status.
At this time, a full moon rose into the sky in the dantian, and on the side of the full moon, the nine moon wheels reflected each other, reflecting the pure moonlight of the entire chaotic dantian.
In the hazy and hazy, the starlight in the dantian is dotted with colorful and colorful.
The appearance of the Nine Moon Wheels already symbolizes that Zhou Yi's cultivation has reached the peak of the Illuminating Moon Realm.
It's just that the auxiliary cultivation effect of the Experience Pill has not slowed down in the slightest, letting Zhou Yi know that his cultivation in the Moon Realm is still far, far from the true consummation.
Therefore, there was no hurry to make the next move, and he was ready to observe and observe first to see what new moths would appear after the nine moon rings.
is observing a hazy and illusory moon in the dantian.
Looking at it, Zhou Yi felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, a whim, and seven words of blessing appeared in his heart like a soul - the night when the moon was dark and the wind was high.
He quickly retracted his spiritual sense, and raised his eyes to look out the window.
The night is quiet, the stars and the moon are nowhere to be seen, the wind is suddenly rising, and the rainstorm is coming.
Raising his eyebrows, Zhou Yi reined in his breath and searched out a small sneaking trick from his memory.
The spiritual power operated, and the body gradually became illusory, and finally it was invisible to the naked eye.
The jade pendant of breath is even more to cover up all the qi, blood, spiritual power and spiritual fluctuations.
If it weren't for being able to feel the existence of the body, Zhou Yi himself wouldn't be able to see that there was a person in the place where he was.
Ready, the man hurried down the mountain.
At the foot of Yujing Mountain, Yuanwu Village.
I don't know if it's the reason for the approaching storm, the entire Yuanwu Village is dark, quiet and a little scary, like an empty ghost village.
Walking lightly on the streets of the village, this street is free of the hustle and bustle of the day, and the quiet gives people a bit of a cold and piercing feeling.
I walked along a street for a long time, but I didn't see half of the figure along the way, and I didn't hear a sound, and not even a single one of the families was still holding the lights.
The doubts in Zhou Yi's heart finally became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but jump to the roof of a house next to him.
I have doubts in my heart, but I don't dare to use my spiritual sense to investigate.
Zhou Yi carefully lifted a brick on the roof, trying not to make any sound.
When a piece of brick and tile was lifted, looking down through the small hole that was lifted, Zhou Yi couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The room below was empty.
It was late at night, and the owner who was supposed to sleep in the bed was missing.
Frowning slightly, Zhou Yi jumped to the roof of another house and gently lifted the tiles.
Looking at the probe, there was still no half of the figure inside, as if the owner of the house did not need to sleep, and he was nowhere to be found in the middle of the night.
His brows furrowed even tighter, and he probed several houses around him one after another.
Finally, when the tiles of the sixth room were lifted, Zhou Yi made a new discovery.
As soon as the tiles were lifted, a thick bloody breath rushed towards the face.
Looking down, Zhou Yi saw a middle-aged woman lying on the bed with her eyes wide open, and a long wound on her neck directly cut the artery of the blood vessels.
Blood stained the sheets red, dripping all over the ground, and people... He has been dead for a long time.
At last I saw a man, but it was a dead man.
This... What's going on?
Frowning and continuing to investigate, after exploring several rooms one after another, Zhou Yi found two corpses again.
All of them were cut arteries, allowed to bleed, and died in fear of the passage of life.
And all of these bodies have one thing in common - they are all women, and they are all adult women.
This...
It looked like a sacrifice, a sacrifice of human life, of blood.
However, if it is a sacrifice, these corpses seem to have little to do with the location of death, except that they are all adult women, except that they die in the same way.
At least it wasn't like the sacrifice he knew, which constituted a certain formation, a certain condition.
Therefore, it is clear that the method of death is treated as a sacrifice, but it is not treated as a sacrifice.
In this regard, Zhou Yi was even more puzzled.
Then probe.
After a stick of incense, Zhou Yi found thirty-seven corpses one after another.
Thirty-six of them were adult females, and among the thirty-seven corpses, there was the only one of adult males.
This discovery made Zhou Yi even more puzzled.
If it can be said that they were all adult women before, this is also a point of connection, then this man who entered in chaos broke this common point again.
If this is the case, then what do these corpses have in common other than the method of death?
frowned tightly and continued to investigate, when Zhou Yi explored an inn, when he saw the picture in the inn, the whole person changed color.
In that big inn, there was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Hundreds of inhabitants died tragically from their own wounds, and some of the corpses had peaceful expressions on their faces, as if they were having some kind of sweet dream, and suddenly their lives were taken by someone.
And the murderer did not leave any clues.
After inspecting the entire inn, combined with the corpses found before, Zhou Yi found a common denominator that could be regarded as a common denominator - between these dead people, there is rarely a blood relationship in the bloodline.
In other words, most of these people come from different clans and are not from the same family.
Before the combination, combined with his own understanding of Yuanwu Village, Zhou Yi already had some guesses.
After quickly shuttling and exploring the entire Hexi, Zhou Yi found a total of 356 corpses.
More than 70 of them were found in private households, and most of them were the mistress of the house or the son-in-law who came to the door.
The other more than 200 bodies are all passers-by who pass by Yuanwu Village and temporarily settle down here.
This discovery made Zhou Yi a little more sure of the speculation in his heart.
He Xi was searched and found nothing other than the body.
Zhou Yi frowned, turned around and flew to Hedong.
The figure swept through the air, and Zhou Yi quickly arrived at the north-south long river that divided the village in two before Hexi and Hedong.
There was no bridge to look for, and the body had previously crossed the river.
When a person appeared on the long river, one was unsteady and almost fell from the sky.
Hurriedly manipulated himself with his spiritual sense to make himself retreat.
Standing on the bank of the long river, Zhou Yi frowned and looked at the long river in front of him, where there were no waves or waves, and there was not even a little ripple, and he couldn't help but fall into thought.
After a moment, pick up a dry leaf and throw it forward.
The leaves were forced, and flew towards the opposite bank like a sharp sword, but the moment they flew to the top of the river, they seemed to lose all their strength and fell directly to the surface of the river.
Then... Unsupported by the slightest buoyancy, the leaves of the trees sink into the river the moment they come into contact with the water, and are swallowed by the river in an instant.
Didn't make half a ripple.
"Weak water?"
His brows furrowed tightly, Zhou Yi was sure that when he came a few times before, the water in this river was definitely ordinary river water, not this weak water where 'goose feathers can't float, and the reeds sink to the bottom'.
"Quicksand River?"
Guessing an unreliable name, Zhou Yi shook his head, squatted down and picked up a touch of water and studied it seriously.
It turned out that... The appearance of this weak water seems to be related to this river, and as soon as the weak water leaves this long river in the north-south direction, it will instantly turn into ordinary water, and there is no longer the slightest characteristic of weak water.
After thinking about it, Zhou Yi didn't stupidly jump into the river to investigate.
All the way south, they found a long bridge across the river, and the man walked along the long bridge to the other side of the river, unaffected by the weak water below.
After crossing the river, Zhou Yi explored the east of the river.
As a result, hundreds of corpses were also found in Hedong.
The number of corpses in the west and east of the river combined, exceeded a thousand.
And such a killing did not set off the slightest wave, did not make the slightest movement.
It is enough to see that the person who did it must be a person who has cultivated to an advanced level, and when he did it, he didn't even give them time to react before taking the names of these people.
A master, and a very deep hidden master, actually attacked these ordinary people and ordinary monks.
For no reason, ordinary people do not deliberately provoke monks, and rarely provoke the poisonous hands of monks.
And since such a great monk chose to attack these people on such a dark and windy night, the truth may have come out - killing people and destroying mouths.
Before he arrived, there must have been something going on in this Yuanwu Village that could not be known to outsiders.
And at the time of the incident, these people happened to be in the village.
So whether they saw it or not, whether they knew the situation or not, they all attracted the disaster of killing, and they died tragically in their dreams one by one.
Yuanwu Village.
The leader of the surname Yuan who suddenly appeared.
Suddenly turned into an ordinary long river of weak water.
The act of killing people and killing people.
A series of clues made Zhou Yi more and more angry, before he arrived, what happened in Yuanwu Village?
Only a tiny fraction of the people are dying here, and where are the many more?
Just thinking about it, suddenly my ears moved.
Suddenly turning his head to look at the north, Zhou Yi let out a cold sigh in his mouth.
"What people!"
