"I'm willing to go with you to investigate," Mu Liran looked at his younger brother lying on the bed, looked at Chi Wuji with a firm expression, and said: "But if you go, my brother will be taken with me, he is very seriously injured, if he is left here alone, I am afraid that someone will come to seek revenge." ”

"But if you carry a very injured person along the way, it will undoubtedly be a burden for him and for us." Chi Wuji was a little hesitant, not because he didn't want to take Mu Ganchen with him, but because he was afraid of the task of two people, it would become thrilling because there was one more person.

"Sister, I'm fine, it's okay for me to stay here alone, no one will come to seek revenge." Mu Ganchen could see Chi Wuji's reluctance, so he was unwilling to embarrass his sister, and this mission was also an important experience.

"No way!" Mu Liran tilted his head and shouted at Chi Wuji: "I definitely won't let my brother be here alone, if you have to say that, then I'm sorry, I won't participate in this mission." ”

Chi Wuji could only smile bitterly, he knew Mu Liran's temper, as long as she decided on something, she must do it, otherwise she was willing to let herself give up a lot of things.

Finally, both for Mu Liran's help and to make this mission a little easier, he agreed and took Mu Ganchen with him.

Mu Liran simply sorted out the medicine that Mu Ganchen needed to take on the road, and some medicines, to prevent it.

Since the place where Mu Liran is located is not too far from the village, it is possible to walk directly to it, about two or three kilometers away.

The atmosphere along the way was heavy, as the closer you got to that village. Mu Liran's heart felt more and more depressed and urgent, I don't know what the reason is, maybe the weather is getting darker and darker, this is one of them.

Because they didn't know where to go when they got to the village gate, fortunately there were officials waiting where they were waiting in advance to meet them, but there was only one official.

"It's Miss Mu and Chi Gongzi," as soon as he saw Mu Liran and Chi Wuji approaching, the official immediately greeted him, and said with a flattering face: "My lord asked me to wait here, and if I see you two coming, I will let you go." ”

That being said, such a village is rarely frequented, and there is no need to set up any fences or allow it to pass.

"Who is this?" The official saw that Chi Wuji and Mu Liran didn't speak, so he took a fancy to Mu Ganchen behind him.

"This is my younger brother," Seeing the official looking at him with bad intentions, Mu Liran stood directly in front of Mu Ganchen and looked straight at the official. With a little smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "He is sick, so I just came out to practice this time, do you have any questions?" ”

Mu Liran didn't like anyone's malicious speculation about Mu Ganchen, even she herself didn't allow herself to do this, let alone this small official she had never met before.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, I'm too worried," Seeing that Mu Liran seemed a little unhappy, the official quickly apologized and waved his hand, and said to her: "Since everything is ready, I'll take you to the place where you want to do something." ”

After speaking, it seemed that in order to prevent Mu Liran from attacking his eyes, he hurriedly turned around and walked in front.

The road led by the officials was not close, it was about the same distance as when they came, at this time, Mu Ganchen's body was a little unbearable, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans fell on his forehead, and he walked at the back of the team alone, dragging his body and slowly walking forward.

Mu Liran's pace was not very fast, she immediately sensed her brother's physical discomfort, and quickly slowed down her pace, holding his hand with her hand, and carefully helped her forward.

Chi Wuji watched from the sidelines and didn't say anything about helping, because he felt that carrying a disabled patient on the road was indeed a painful thing that would delay their physical strength.

Finally, Mu Ganchen's body was unwell and he fainted, there was no way, Mu Liran originally planned to carry him on his back, but his strength was too small.

"Can you help me? Mu Liran lowered his head, glanced at Chi Wuji obliquely, and found that Chi Wuji's expression was not quite right, so he spoke.

"Okay, there's no way." Chi Wuji originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw Mu Liran's somewhat struggling appearance, he suddenly began to feel distressed again, took Mu Ganchen's body from Mu Liran's back and put it on his back, and began to walk slowly.

"If you don't have the strength to do it later, I can still carry it." Mu Liran turned his shoulders, feeling that his shoulders were suddenly much lighter, so he thanked Chi Wuji.

"How could such a small man cost me strength? It's okay, you guys go ahead. Chi Wuji effortlessly carried Mu Ganchen on his back for a few meters, without panting, as if to let Mu Liran know that he had a lot of strength, but it would be very physically exhausting to do so.

"Okay then, thank you." Mu Liran expressed his gratitude, walked for about half an hour, and came to the gate of the village, and the official's expression was a little serious.

"This is the place where you're going to do your mission today." The official pointed to an empty village in front of him, and said in a trembling voice.

"What's going on in this village? Why is it that there is no one in such a big village? Mu Liran looked at the direction pointed by the official with some confusion, the village was very large, but no one saw it, not even the most basic livestock or anything.

"Don't you know what you're going to do this time, Miss Mu?" He looked at Mu Liran with a little doubt, as if he wanted to write all the doubts in his heart on his face, but Mu Liran just shook his head silently at him, because of this matter, Mu Liran really didn't know, this task was Chi Wuji's next, so Chi Wuji didn't tell Mu Liran about it.

"Well, then I'll tell you about it, I didn't want to mention it, because it's too cruel and bloody." The official shook his head, a pained expression on his face, as if he was reluctant to tell the story.

"We only got this a few days ago, and when we came here, it wasn't as empty as it is now." The official began to state: "There were many people in this village, but I don't know what happened, and suddenly there were corpses all over the field overnight. ”

Mu Liran's eyes widened, and he glanced at the village a few more times in disbelief, indeed, that village was a little strange.

"So you mean that overnight, all the inhabitants of this village died, right?" Mu Liran asked in disbelief, but later felt that this sentence was a little inappropriate, and hurriedly apologized.

"That's right, there's no need to apologize. Even when we came here, there were dead bodies everywhere, not even a single animal left. The official then said to Mu Liran: "The cruel thing is that the deaths of these people at that time were very tragic, and they couldn't see what they looked like before they were born, and the clothes and flesh on their bodies were mixed together." ”

Mu Liran felt sick in his heart when he heard this, but he thought that if this matter was in this village, the murderer was indeed too cruel, and overnight, what kind of person could do it by slaughtering the entire village, this must be more than one person.

"We've cleaned up the scene, we haven't touched anything else in this village, we just moved the body to a place, if you want to investigate, you still have to go into the village." The official's expression returned to normal.

At this time, Mu Liran suddenly seemed to feel something, and took several steps back, retreated to Chi Wuji's side, leaned into his ear, and said softly, "Do you feel that something is not right in this place?" ”

From the very beginning when Mu Liran approached this village, he felt that the yin qi of this village was very heavy, but he thought that it was just the wild ghosts along the way, but now he found that this was not the case.

"That's a bit of a thing." The male protagonist moved the Mu Ganchen on his back upward, frowned, and said with a somewhat unhappy expression: "This place is indeed not as simple as we thought, the yin qi is too heavy." ”

Mu Liran nodded, but his eyes still did not leave the village, as if he wanted to see what was wrong with that village from a distance, but at this time, the official was not too anxious, because he wanted to leave this place early.

"Miss Mu, Chi Gongzi," finally when Mu Liran looked at the village for about three minutes, the official finally couldn't wait, looked at them with a flattering face, and said with a smile on his face: "It's not early in the day, there is no time to investigate, and if you enter the village at night, I'm afraid that something will happen to the two of you, otherwise let's go to our mansion to settle down first." ”

"It's okay, if you go into the village at night, it's hard to guarantee that something will happen." Chi Wuji seemed to be afraid that Mu Liran would not be willing, so he hurriedly followed the official's words and continued, and if they were allowed to enter the village now, the Mu Ganchen on his back would still be a problem, and after carrying it all day, his strength would be a little exhausted.

"Okay, I should let my brother rest well at the end of the day." Mu Liran looked at Mu Ganchen's face and touched his hair with some distress.

Chi Wuji rolled his eyes at this time, this day he has been carrying Mu Ganchen on his back, and Mu Ganchen has just been sleeping, how can it be that Mu Ganchen is hard, but he doesn't want to argue with Mu Liran about these now, because Mu Liran's heart is actually not very comfortable.

After speaking, Mu Liran and Chi Wuji followed the officials to the old mansion to settle down, and helped Mu Gancheng make a basin of hot water, wiped his face, and let him sleep. And he himself went to Chi Wuji's room to talk to him about things.

"So many people died overnight, and it is definitely not something that can be done by one person. And this thing looks so incredible, there must be something weird. Mu Liran was the first to speak, and Chi Wuji said with a serious expression.

"There must be something in that place that can summon spirits, and someone must be using those spirit-conjuring things to cause us to see nothing, and so many people died overnight, it must be like you said, not by one person." Chi Wuji made it clear at once.

"Along the way, I can find that there are ghosts of different sizes along the way, it must not be accidental, someone must have gathered them together and harmed the people in this village, I realized that the closer I got to that village, the heavier the yin qi became, so I didn't say this out of thin air." Chi Wuji explained to Mu Liran.
